A short time son ho lost his wife, and was left with several small %Urea, without sufficient means of support, tvhiA has lately reduced hint to a state of the most mi serable despondency. Having expended all his money. and drained every resource, he roedved to commit the crime of suicide, and leave those troubles his mind was imeapai.le of bearing. Friday morning, with the last twopence in the world, he purchased one pennyworth of milk and a pennyworth o bread, and having divided it amongst his children, he kissed theta, and in his fdind buying taken a last eswthly farewell, he hastened to the Park, and with a razor committed the above act. lie now lies in the Hospital without the least elnuice of recovery. On Friday last, a female child, apparently about a month old, was found in a ltedgcaltmg side thehigh road. . between Sheerness anti Minster, by a little boy.

Three new caravans, on an entire new construction passed along the Strand on Friday, with the following. inscribed on the footboard—" Association for the Relief of the Manuracturapt and Labouring Poor." The in scription excited mu ch curiosity among the spectators. An article from Auxerre, in the 1 7 renchpapers men-- tions, that a young man and woman, in the Depart ment of l'Gonne, who were much attached - to each other, being unable to obtain the consent of their pa rotti to their marriage, adopted the desperate resolu tion, on the 14th ult. of killing each other, which they etlictcl in a forest nut far iron► the place of filar residence. An eminent Quaker visited a Lady of rank, whom he tinind six to after the death of her hushetd, sitting on a sopha covered with black cloth, in all the dignity of woe; and gently taking her by the hand, he thus accosted her ; " So, friend, I see that thou bast not yet forgiven the Almighty." Thi3 reproof had such an effect upon the person to whom it was ad dressed, that she immediately had all her trappings of ;.ricf destroyed, and went about her nucssary avoca tions. The helmets of the Life Guards are shortly to be eseharigel for large hair caps, similar to those worn by Cm. G nooatliers of the Foot Guards.

On the rough Cornish coast, where the briny sea Lees. • Stood two or dime smuggler pervading The shore, anti they watehed for their boat from the waves, To share the contents of their trading. It was night--and the signal agreed on was this— lour lights they should place, rizh and bright, On the Owe, that the boat might her hailwar not miss, But silently steal to their light. Two Custom- home officers heard of their prey. And thought that their own they would make it ; They armed eterriselves roon, and they hastened away— Determined to perish or take it. But crc they came nigh where the smugglers were, Their cars were assailed by a troika, Thateame from aboard of the hoot that did wear Very near them, and szonied them to The smugglers on heard put the boat to ute ahore. Expecting their enmraties to meet tbem ; But the luau: that the Custom-home °dicers wore Were in bright, they completely did cheat them. Those hooti, on which Warren's Jet Blacking haul set A polish tuirivalled and grand, Darted forth such a lightning from their Mack beaming.iet, They supposed 'twas the signal to laml. The °effects saw Warren's 11:arking's edict. Anil hoarded the boat in an imtaur ; When 101 WAR it Black eia :heir fares refine, And they made then no further resistance.
