SHARP PRACTICE.—On the evening of Friday last
a commercial traveller went to the Derby Post-office,
and having deposited his letters in the box, he was in
the act of walking away, when a female threw herself
into his arms, and used the most endearing terms. She
expressed herself delighted that she hud once again met
her " dear John," after so long an absence, and caressed
him most passionately. The astonished traveller desired
her to g:) away, protested that he knew nothing of her,
and at length somewhat rudely released himself from
her grasp. He endeavoured to account for this extra-
ordinary conduct by seeing whether anything had been
extracted from his pockets; all being right there, he
became somewhat perplexed. When in the act of dress-
ing himself on the following morning the extraordinary
scene of the previous evening was still vividly impressed
upon his mind. He taxed his memory in order, if pos-
sible, to recollect whether he had seen the fair one before,
when lo! as he was placing his cravat round his neck, he
missed a splendid pin with which it had been adorned at
the time he went to the post-office. The caresses and
endearing words of the frail fair one were all explained,
and he is left to enjoy the recollection of the dramatic
event as best he may.—Derby Reporter.
SUICIDE orilla Cnirn.—An inquiry took place
before William Carter, Esq , at the Battle of the Nile,
Aluion.street, Rotherhithe, as to the death of Elizabeth
Dudley, aged 14, who committed suicide under the fol-
lowing circumstances :—From the testimony of the
mother and father of the deceased, who reside in Cla-
rence-place, Clarence-street, Rotherhithe, it appeared
that the latter is foreman at an engineer's in Rother-
hithe, and that the child was in the habit of taking his
breakfast to him. On her return on Saturday morning
her mother taxed her with having loitered, the deceased
made some reply, when her mother gave her a pat on
the head. Some time after the deceased could not 1:0.

round, and one of the sisters searched the house, and at

last found her suspended by a handkerchief to the bed-
stead. She was taken thwn, but life was quite extinct.

In answer to questions put by the Coroner, it was said
that the deceased was of a very cheerful disposition and
highly moral conduct.--Verdict " Temporary insanity."
An Association of Merchants and Shipowners is

forming in Liverpool, having for its object the reduction
of the present exorbitant duties on tea. The intention
of its originators is to adopt effectual means of bringing
the merits of this question before the public, with a view
of showing the evils which result to the community from
duties amounting to from one hundred to six hundred
per cent. on this great article of consumption, which has
now become one of the first neceAsaries of life, and
which, viewed commercially, is the only medium of ex.
change by which we can hope to extend or even retain
our trade with the Chinese empire. _
