DEPTFORD. Determined Suicide.

Yesterday afternoon week, Mr. Brandon, landlord of the "Shipwrights' Arms," New Town, Deptford, put an end to his existence in his bed room, by placing the muzzle of a gun in his mouth and discharging it. His skull was completely shattered, and life must have been instantly extinct. It appears that he had lately bought the "Shipwrights' Arms," but the business failing to meet his expectations he grew depressed and melancholy. An inquest was held upon the body on Thursday last, when a verdict of "Temporary insanity" was returned. Deceased has left a widow and one child.
