SUICIDE AT A POLICE STATlON.—Wednesdaya most
determined act of suicide was committed in one of the
cells belonging to the police station-house, in Ken-
nington-lane, by a young man named Edward Edwards,
alias Floyd, who had been locked up there. It appears
that the deceased was apprehended on a charge of
breaking into a stable belonging to Mr. Gable, in
Hinz-street, Old Kent-road, and stealing two
saddles. He was locked up at the above station-
house, in a cell in company with another prisoner of
the name of Wood. Soon after a constable came, and
took out Wood, who was wanted fcr examination, leav-
ing deceased in the cell alone. Not more than two or
three minutes had elapsed when Inspector Roger, in
passing the cell, observed a handkerchief passed through
.1. small aperture in the door, and made fast to an iron
bar above. Suspeeting something wrong, he instantly cut the handkerchief, and heard something fall inside. And on the door being opened the deceased was found
lying on the floor of the cell, in an insensible state. He
was instantly carried to the station, and two medical men
were promptly in attendance, but they pronounced the
man quite dead.
VEsuvins.—This volcano, which vomited forth
lava after the earthquake in Tuscany, is still active ;
slight eruptions occur so frequently that at night the
crater seems all on fire, and at day the smoke forms a
huge pillar. Great rains and inundations have taken
place in the districts at the foot of the mountain, causing
;rest loss of life and property.
