TRIALS OF NEW LIFEBOATS.—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. T heir 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 were thoroughly tested,
and found complete in al)•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 to be stationed at Port Said,
and will leave for her destination either this or the early
Lvart 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.—Thif3 morning, about
half-past 8 o'clock, a female about 30 years of age, 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 dis-
tance of 50 feet. On being picked up by a person named
Williams, residing in the next house, life was found to be
extinct, the deceased's head being frightfully shattered.
The force with which deceased fell must have been very
great, the flagstone on 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 i •EVERAGE.—tioincespathic pra3titioners, and
