TRIALS OF NEW LlFEBOATS.—Yesterday some
harbour trials were made in the Regent's Canal
Dock, Limehouse, with two fine new lifeboats, in the pre-
sence of some members of the committee and officers of the
National Lifeboat Institution. Each boat is 33 feet long,
and pulls ten oars doubled-banked. Their material is solid
mahogany, and they were built by the Messrs. Forrestt
and Son, of Limehouse, under the superintendence of the
Lifeboat Society. The trials of both boats were in every
way satisfactory. Their qualities of self-righting, self-
ejecting of water, and stability wore thoroughly tested,
and found complete in all respects. One of the boats is the
second generous gift of the commercial travellers to the
National Institution, and is to be stationed at Castletown,
Isle of Man. On the way to her station this boat is to be
publicly exhibited on the 22d inst. at Sheffield, when the
residents hope to raise the cost of a lifeboat, to be called
after their town. The other boat has been built for the
Suez Canal Company, and is be stationed at Port Said,
and will leave for her destination either this or the early
part of next week. It appears that the builders have now
in hand for the National Lifeboat Institution about twenty
lifeboats, for the French Shipwreck Society three lifeboats,
and one or two for our colonies.
DETERMINED SUICIDE.—This morning, about
half-past 8 o'clock, a female about 30 years of ago, of the
name of Mary Fowler. residing at No. 24, Peter-street, St.
James's, committed suicide by throwing herself out of the
attic window of the house into the yard at the rear, a
found
dis-
tance of 50 feet. On being picked upb a person
Williams, residing in the next house, life wa
to
be
extinct, the deceased's head being frightfullys named
shattered.
The force with which deceased fell must have been very
great, the flagstone ou which she fell being broken. The
deceased was a married woman, but her husband, who
holds a respectable situation in the City, had separated
from her in consequence of her dissipated habits, making
her, however, a weekly allowance.
BREAKFAST .vERAGE. -ttomoeopathic pra3titioners, and
the medical prutession generally, recommend cocoa a‘ be ng
t e most healthful of all beverages. When the doctrine of
homoeopathy was ti:st introduced into this country, there
were to be obtah,td no preparations of cocoa either attrac-
tive to the taste or acceptv le to the stomach ; the nut was
either sup2lled in the crude state, or so nt.skilful y manu-
iactured as to obtain little notice. .J. Epps, of London,
uoinceopathic chemist, was induced in the year 18.39 to turn
his attention to this subje t, and at length sucxeded, with
the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being tie first to
produce an ariele pure in its composition, a .d so refined by
the pea et trituration it e elves in the process .t passe
hrough, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach
For general use Epps' cocoa is distin.:uished as an invigo-
rating, grateful breakfast beverage, with a delkious aroma
Dr. Rassall in his work, "Food and its Adulterations,"
says—" Cocoa contains a great variety of importan nutritive
p-inciples ; every ingredient necebsary to the growth and
sustenance of the body." Agaia, "As a nutritive, cocoa
stands very much higher than either coffee or tea." Direc-
tions: -Two teaspoonfuls of, the powder in a breakfast cup,
filled up with.; boiling water or milk. Secured in tin-lined
i-lb , aryl lib. labelled packets, and sold at Is. 6d. per
ib. by grocers, confectioners, and chemist&
