EXTRAORDINARY ATTEMPTS AT SUICIDE

of twenty individuals, was successful in another,rescuing tbe

black horse Matchless, and Mr. Oldrery's bay mare Invincible.
.i:h distance was from Southwold-bridge to the Tuns Inn,
Yoxford, and back, making a total of 22 miles. It was easily
won by Matchless, he having accomplished the distance in an
hour and thirty-five minutes. The mare was two minutes
five seconds behind, and was apparently distressed.—lpswich

There is a current report that Mr. Bannerman,
M.P. for Aberdeen, who was made a Commissioner of Green-
wich Hospital by the Whigs in the latter part of their Admi-
nistration, has received some kind of intimation from the
Tories, that persons holding such office do not vote against the
Government. If this be true, we do not blame the Tories ;
they have a right to all the patronage of their office ; we only
mention it, that, when the Whigs come in again, they,may be
prepared to do their duty.— Glasgow Argus.
