Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Saturday
night, a man named Beale, living in the Blackheath-road,
threw himself into the river Ravensbourne, at Deptford.
He was, after great exertions, rescued from a watery grave
by Nicholls, a police constable on duty near the spot.
The following is the cause for the rash act :—The poor
fellow, who has a wife and eight children, has been in the
greatest distress for some time past. On Saturday morning
he went to his daughter's house (who married a gentleman
of large property, with whom she formerly lived as servant)
in the Walwortb.-road ; but she refused to open the door,
and desired him to go about his business.

CA NC ER.-A few days since died at Mortlake, aged
89, Hetty Mott, who had many years kept a general shop
there. At the age of .52, Sir W. Blizard performed an
operation for cancer in one of her breasts, which she bore
heroically, and which he said she might survive ten years.
She lived without the slightest return of it for 37 years.
She had a sister suffering from a similar disorder at the
same time, who refused to undergo operation, and soon
died. Mr. Crick, a nephew of theirs, is at this time suffer-
ing from a cancer in his face, and has been for the last six
months unable to attend business ; his mother had one also.

On Saturday night, about nine o'clock, as a con-
stable of the N division of police was passing near the sta-
tion-house of the H division, Spitalfields, a middle-aged
woman, of very poor appearance, addressed him and told
him that she had shortly before unexpectedly to herself
given birth to a child, which had fallen into the soil
of a place which she mentioned in the neighbourhood of
Petticoat-lane. The constable took her to the station-
house, and, as she appeared to have no borne of her own,
she was sent to the Spitalfields workhouse to receive
that attention which her condition required. Two of the
N constables were in the meantime dispatched to the place
near Petticoat-lane which had been mentioned by the wo-
man, and there discovered an infant buried head downwards
in the soil. The body was taken to the station-house and
there examined by the surgeon, who pronounced the child
to be a remarkably fine boy, and to have been born alive.
An inquest is to be held on the body
