THE PRINCE OF CANINO'S MEmonts.—Lueien

Bonaparte, in the first volume of this great work, which has
just issued from the press, presents so many important facts
relative to the political history of France, that we look for-
ward with eagerness to the appearance of its successors; to
the speedy publication of which the unprecedented demand
for, and the general favourable opinion of, the opening part,
certainly gives the most cheering encouragment.

SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning considerable alarm
was occasioned in the family of Mr. Robert Thredder, an
extensive bat manufacturer, of 26, Blackman-street, South-
wark, in consequence of his having committed self-destruc-
tion. Mr. Thedder had for some days previously exhibi-
ted a depression of spirits, but not of such a nature as to
cause any apprehension in the minds of his family that he
meditated suicide. On Friday, however, he got up at a
much earlier hour than usual, and proceeded from his bed-
room down into the counting-house at the rear of his shop ;
soon after which a heavy fall was heard, and, on some mem-
bers of the family going into the counting-house to see
what was the matter, Mr. Thredder was discovered stretched
along the floor, with his throat cut in a shockinc, manner.
The policeman on duty in the street was called in imtne-
diately, and, as Mr. Thredder showed symptoms of life,
Mr. Callaway, the surgeon, and also Mr. Odlin,g, the che-
mist, were sent for ; but it was found upon examination
that the unfortunate man had inflicted such a dreadful
wound in his throat, having severed some of the principal
vessels, that medical aid was of no avail, although the
wound was sewed up, and he expired at half-past eight,
having committed the act at a quarter after five o'clock.
No cause has as yet been assigned for Mr. Thredder hav-
ng committed the rash act.

THE CONTINENT IN 1835.—The extreme popu-
larity of this work, which has just appeared, is, perhaps, the
the best criterion of its merits—and these are far from few.
Nothing worth seeing or learning has escaped the scrutiny
of Professor Hoppus, who, though he has travelled over
ground which has been trodden by previous tourists, has
elucidated facts overlooked by their cursory observation,
and thrown a valuable light on Continental manners. It
has a well-earned claim to the public favour it enjoys.
NEW PACKET STATION AN RAMSGA TE.—
A letter from Calais affirms that M. Le Compte, the di-
rector of the French post-office, had been called away from
that place rather suddenly for Paris, but that he had ex-
pressed himself satisfied with the trial which he had already
made of the superiority of Ramsgate to Dover harbour, as
a permanent station for the intercourse packets, and did
not deem another experiment necessary. He would report
in that sense to the post•offce authorities at Paris and
London. At this time, it is said Dover-bar is very diffi-
cult, while the entrance to the pier at Ramsgate is with-
out obstruction. The match between the French and
English post-office steamers for a trial of superiority in
starting from Calais to Ramsgate and back, did not take
place on Monday in consequence of the boisterous state of
the weather, and very much to the disappointment of the
amateurs. Since the last feat of Le Courrier in doing
the voyage in less than six hours, some jealousy has been
felt by the English Captain.

It is related of Brummel that sitting one day at
dinner by the side of a gentleman whose mercantile suc-
cess had enabled him to emerge from Philpot-lane to Gros-
venor-square, after the bottle had passed freely, Brummel,
clapping his hand on his neighbour's shoulder, said—
" Come, my Phoebus, fill." " Why the devil do you call
me Phoebus ?" " Why Phoebus ?" retorted the beau. "Do
you not rise in the East, and set in the West ?"
THE STATE OF THE WEATHER.--The follow-
ing account of the temperature of the weather is taken
from the thermometer at the door-way of Messrs. Swain
and Co., Fleet-street, during one week in 1835, and the
corresponding week in 1836 :-
