SUICIDE sr A YOUTlL—Thursday Mr. Baker held an
Inquest at the Crown and Anchor, Hare-street, Bethnal-green, en.
the body of Henry Callow, aged seventeen years, who committed
suicide by banging himself. It appeared by the 'evidence that de-
ceased resided with his parents ; he was of a reserved and sullen dis-
position, and was in the habit of attending executions. On Tuesday
evening be was found in the back kitchen of the house suspended be-
hind the door by a silk handkerchief; he was quite dead. He had
been reading to his sister an account of a man who had hung himself
in a police cell, and the father said he thought he had been trying a
similar experiment, not contemplating a fatal result. The jury, atter
a lengthened deliberation, returned a verdict of— Tenrpoary In-
unity.
THE SINDE CONTINGENT.—The following is an ex-
tract from a letter dated Head-quarters, Camp near Tette, Jan. 28:—
" I left Kurrachee three days ago, at the same time with Sir Charles
Napier and his staff, on our route to Sukkur, where a force of about
12,000 men is assembling to take a share in the operations against the
Punjaub. I have no doubt we shall go to Moolton. Eight regiments
have been sent kom Bombay, with a portion of artillery, to reinforce
Sir C. Napier. The following corps are now at Sukkur, or en route
from Lower Sinde to that station :
Two troops of Bengal Horse Artillery.
One troop of Bombay Horse Artillery,
Two companies of Bengal Foot Artillery.
Five companies of Bombay Foot Artillery.
6th and 7th Bengal Light Cavalry.
Shute Irregular Horse.
Her Majesty's 17th Foot.
Her Majesty's 80th Foot.
2d Bengal European Regiment.
4th, 15th, and 09th Bengal Native Infantry.
4th, 7th, 11th, 12th, 13th, and 18th Regiments of
Bombay Native Infantry.
The Bundelcund Legion.
We shall he at Sukkur about the 4th of February, by which time
something will he decided as to the plan of operation in the Punjaub.
Sir Charles will not suffer himself to be taken by surprise. Mooltost
was taken by storm by Runjeet Singh in 1818, who cut to pieces the
Affghan garrison of 3,000 men, with the exception of about 500, to
whom quarter was given. The booty on that occasion is said to have
amounted to 4,000,0001. sterling."
At Hammersmith Police•court on Wednesday, four
grown up lads, casual paupers, were committed to prison for having
created a riot and disturbance at the workhouse. On their removal
from the bar they applied to have some food ; but the workhouse
officers having stated that food had already been given them, they
were told they could have no more till they got to the prison.
After their departure, the following

With thorns as sharp as chisels.
T. cut the throats of all such rognes
As begrudge poor cagers wittele."
Goon FORTUNE.-A man named Barber, a labourer
in the Portsmouth Dockyard, and formerly foJtmen to the late Sir
Michael Seymour, was apprised a few days since that he Is heir to
property amounting to half a million I The man can scarcely believe
his good luck.
EARLY CLOSING MoVEMENT.—A public meeting of
the Metropolitan Drapers' Association took place on Thursday even-
ing at the Mechanics' institution, Southampton-buildings, Holborn,
to di.s.lise information respecting the injurious effects of the late-hour
system, and to take measures for its abolition. The theatre of the
establishment was crowded. bir. Wy,e, M.P., took the chair. The
Chairman expressed his sympathy with them in carrying ent what
he considered a most important object. A report was read and re-
ceived, and resolutions in accordance with the objects of the meeting
were sdopted.
TRIAL OF SPEED.--A letter from Calais states, that
on the 11th instant a trial of speed took place between the two
packets, the o,iyx and the Princess Alice, running between Dover
and that port. The Onyx crossed the Straits in 1% hour, whilst the
pdoeess Alice occupied one hour and 44 minutes, thus being beater
by 14 minutes; this is equivalent to a superior speed of more tbas
two miles an hour. We ought to add, that if the Onyx had waited.
at Dover for the turn of the tide, her ping sfecild hayelieeit about
10 minutes shorter.
