SUICIDE BY A YOUTH.—Yesterday Mr. Baker held an
inquest at the Crown and Anchor, Hare-street, Bethnal-green, on
the body of Henry Callow, aged seventeen years, who committ&l
suicide by hanging himself. It appecred 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, after
a lengthened deliberation, returned a verdict of— Tempoary In-
sanity.

TIIE SINDn CONTINGENT.—The following is an ex-
tract from a letter dated Head-quarters, Camp near Tatta, Jan. 23:
" I leg. 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 from Bombay, with a portion of artillery, to reinforce
Sir C. Napier. The following corps arc now at SuMuir, or en roue
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.
Sinde Irregular Horse.
Her Majesty's 17th Foot.
• Iler Majesty's 86th Foot.
2d Bengal European Regiment.
4th, 15th, and G9th Bengal Native Infantry.
4th, 7th, 11th, 12th, 13th, and 18th Regiments of
Bombay Native Infantry.
The Bundelcund Legion.
We shall be at Sukkur about . the 4th of February, by which time
something will be decided as to the plan of operation in the Ikinjqpb.
Sir Chants will not suffer himself to be taken by surprise. Moolton
was taken by storm by Runjeet Singh in 1818, who cut to pieces the
Afghan 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 liatnmersmith Potice.court on Wodnesda.y. 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 workh,u-se
officers having stated that food had already been given them, they
were told they could have no more till they got tc. the prison..
Ana their departure, tho following effusion was fotrild written by
one of them in pencil, on the wall of the cell in which they were
placed:—

" May the God above, send down his love,
With thorns as sharp as chisels,
To cut the throats Mall such rogues
As begrudge poor cagers wittets."
Goon FORTUFE.—A man n lmeui Barber, a labourer
hi the Portsmouth Dockyard, and formerly fo.itman to the late Sir
Michael Seymour, was apprised a few days since that he is heir to
property ameuating to half a million ! The man can scaruely believe
his good luck.
EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT.—A public meeting, eo
the Metropolitan Drepers' Association too; place on Thursday even-
ing at the Mechanics' Institution, Southampton-buildings, Holborn,
to di use information respecting the injurious effects of the late-lieu
system, and to take measures for is abolition. The theatre of the
them in took the ehnir. The
in carrying out what
ce.sh tprievsasse
aerial
his sympathy
p alitthr3.,lll3iyl
he eorisdeted a most important object. A report was read and re-
ceived, and resolutions in accordance with the objects of the meeting
were .idopted. _

.1 SPIi:ED.—A letter from Calais states. that
on the 11th Instant a. trial of speed took place between the two
1-tickets, the Onyx ;IA the Princess Alice, running between Dover
anti that port. The Odyx crossed the Straits in 1 hoer, whilst the
l'rde,esii Mice occupied one hour and 44 minutes, thus being beaten
uy 14 micntes; this is equ'valent to a superior speed of nlore then
two irides an hinir. We ought to add, that if the Onyxialay_i_tited
at pov,:r for the turn of the tide, her passag c3a.dd haveUegrEhout
