There are ship letters this morning from Rio de Janeiro,

EDINBURGH.—We understand that a bill of sus-
pension and interdict, at the instance of the trustees for the
city creditors, was served on the Lord Provost, Magistrates,
and Council, prohibiting them paying away any sums of money
for the repairs of Leith Harbour and Docks, from the funds
of the Corporation.—Edinburgh Courant.
Had either of the silly persons, who fought a duel
by moonlight, fallen on the occasion, the coroner's jury would
have been doubly justified in bringing in a verdict of lunacy.
It is said that such is the demand of hay from
London to Scotland, that the salesmen find it difficult to keep
pace with it. During the week before last, not less than
30,000 stones of hay were purchased for Leith, Peterhead,
Aberdeen, and Banff. . _ _

Yesterday morning, about half-past 7 o'clock, a fe-
male, respectably dressed, threw herself over Waterloo-bridge.
Fortunately a waterman, of the name of Godfrey, was passing
in a wherry at the time, and with difficulty succeeded in saving
her life. She was conveyed to Bow-street police-station.
Her name is not known.

At the meeting of the Renfrew Town Council, it
was carried by a majority that the usual bacchanalian revels at
the public expense, in commemoration of the King's birth-
day, should be abolished, and that those of the Council who
consider such things necessary should commemorate them at
their own expense. This is the first innovation on the old
corrupt eating and drinking system at Renfrew, and the pre-
sent reforming Town Council deserve much praise for their
exertions.—Glasgow Evening Post.
- Last week Mrs. Castle Husband, of Dover, was
found dead in her bed, and at the coroner's inquest held on her
body the evidence was of such a nature that the jury were
unanimous in agreeing to a verdict of " Appoplexy, brought
on by excessive drinking." The deceased was a native of
Folkestone, and had formerly been a highly respectable woman,
but had of late sadly indulged in the unfortunate habit alluded
to in the verdict.

We are informed on good authority, that such ge-
neral inconvenience was experienced from the assemblage of
carriages in the streets during the illumination on Wednesday
night, that the police will be compelled to take the necessary
measures, to prevent such obstructions on Monday night, and
on all similar occasions; and no carriages can be allowed to

stand still, so as to obstruct the public thoroughfare.
An inhabitant of one of the minor Inns of Court,
having to settle lately with his laundress, found, among other
things, that she had charged him Is. 6d. for " skewering the
stars;" which, upon explanation, turned out to be " scouring
the stairs,"
