[FROM OUR AUCKLAND CORRESPONDENT], Aukcland, June 8.

J. C. Sextie, sharebroker, who poisoned himself yesterday, came from Victoria eleven years ago. He lived two years in Otago, and then came to Auckland. He had recently removed into a new house, and last night when he came home he was in avery depressed state of mind and under the influence of drink. He spoke to his wife in a despondent tone, remarking that this would be his last home. He lay down on the sofa in'thesittingroom,andwhenMrsSextieretired insisted on remaining there, and refused to allow her to put any covering over him. His wife heard no noise during the night, but about four o'clock this morning, in consequence of sounds proceeding from the sitting room, she got up and went in, when she found her husband in the agonies of death. A messenger was despatched for a doctor, who arrived within a very short time, but life was quite extinct. A cup containing a few crystals like strychnine was found in the room. Mr Sextie had lately been in very straightened circumstances. He leaves a wife and four children totally unprovided for. A man named Collins, a manufacturer of tomato sauce, was sitting on the box driving his cart down hill, when the horse bolted, precipitating him on to his head on the road, cutting his cheek open to the bone. The fall rendered him insensible, and he now lies in a dangerous state. The horse plunged right through a strong fence, carrying the palings and posts away and drew the cart after him without injury to either.^
