The Irish, Scotch, and Provincial Papers, re-
ceived on Saturday, give much more favourable ac-
counts of the state of the harvest than could have been
expected. The late favourable change in the weather
appears to have been diligently taken advantage of, and
from Scotland particularly the reports of the state of
the crops are promising. We regret to notice that this
morning there is a return of rain, and the barometer
indicates more wet weather.
Two young persons of the working class, Louis
Hue, aged twenty-one, and Eulalic Rosalie, aged nine-
teen, who had met with some obstacles in their projects
of marriage, committed suicide a few days ago, at Ver-
sailles, by sufroca.ting themselves with the fumes of
charcoal. They were found on Monday in a room
which they had hired, and were already in a state of
decomposition. The young man had left a letter, en-
treating that his body might be interred in the cemetery
of Notre Dame, at Versailles. This was done with-
out the perforznance of the usual religious rites, the
Cure of the parish having refused to admit the body
into the church.

MATRIMONIAL TRAP.--A young female of
Alsace, named Theresa, who, in her own country, had
received the addresses of an ex-trooper, named Beau-
sire, but who, in his dislike of matrimony, had refused
to marry her, lately came up to Paris in search of
her swain, and, having found him, renewed with great
earnestness her propositions of marriage. A few days
ago, when walking out together near the Seine, The-
resa, finding Beausire inflexible on this head, suddenly
quitted his arm and jumped into the river. To some
spectators, who urged him to rush to her rescue, Beau-
sire replied, " A woman does not drown herself in this
way for a man, and, besides that, she can swim." After
some time, Beausire, seeing that she was on the point of
sinking, plunged into the water, exclaiming, " It is no
joke, then," and saved his sweetheart, to whom he said
gaily, on regaining the land, " Theresa, this is quite
sufficient ; you shall be Madame Beausire ; but if you
should again take it into your head to throw yourself
into the water, do not look to me to fish you out."—
Paris Paper.
EXTRAORDINARY TAKE OF WHITE FISH.—
One day last week the crew of the yacht Luffra, off the
Isle of May, caught with a troul-net no less than three
tons of white fish, consisting of turbot, soles, skate,
haddocks, cod, &c., in the short period of five hours.
The men landed 900 haddocks at Newhaven, which
they sold to Irish dealers.—Seoteh Paper.
EXTENSION OF THE METROPOLITAN POLICE
FORCE.—During the last ten days Messrs. Johnson,
Mailalieu, Bicknell, and Williamson. Superintendents of
the N, R, V, and T divisions of Metropolitan Police,
have been actively engaged in surveying the towns, vil-
lages, and roads beyond the present liinits of their re-
spective divisions to the extent of fifteen miles from
Charing-cross, for the purpose of ascertaining the num-
ber of extra constables it will require to watch the vast
space of ground about to he included in the district of
the force. It is intended to send the force into these
districts as early as possible, before the winner sets in.
The following are among the places which are to have
police stations :—Barnet, Enfield, Edmonton, Wood-
ford, Romford, Eltham, Bromley, Mitcham, Hounslow,
Hampton, Cl oydon, Ewell, Cobham, Hendon, Edgware,
and Watfor.
