SUICIDE OF A NORWEGIAN CAP TAIN.--TllO
Bristol coroner held an inqacst on Tuesday, on
the body of a Norwegian captain, named Grudde Larsen,
of tho brig Emanuel, from Twodestrand, Norway. The
deceased hung himself against a gato-post in the public
street. Niels Evenson, the captain of a Norwegian vessel
sailing from the same port as deceased, stated that ho knew
him very well. Ile was a married man, and had a family.
Ho last Maw deceased about five o'clock on Monday evening,
and ho was then drunk. Nothing passed between them to
lead witness to think that Larsen meant to destroy himself.
Witness believed that hie mind was affected by drink, and
that ho was in trouble about his ship. This trouble arose
in consequonoe of the deceased not being able to pay his
LW, the broker having no money. The jury returned a
verdict that the.deceased hung himself while in an unsound
state of mind.

NITRATE OF SODA..—The Field Marshal in New
York directs attention to the necessity of placing
under stringent regulations the storage, within the city
limits, of nitrate of soda. Ills report, just issued, says :
Until recently the belief prevailed that the article was a
comparatively sass one so far as its storage was concerned.
The calamitous accidents that have resulted from it have
dispelled this.impression. and it (snow a well-founded convio •
Lion that not only nitrate of soda, but saltpetre and nitrate
of potash are highly dangerous when stored in large quan-
tities. Nothing is more certain than that, when exposed
to the action of rapid hest, they will, as soon as brought into
combination with any vegetable substance by fire, produce
instant explosion. As a matter of coarse the larger the
quantity the greater the expansion, and the greater the
danger to life and property's—American paper.
