Race Glasses, byVoigthindert are now ao longer the ex-
clusive luxury of the rich. Since the great demand for
photographic lenses has diminished, an opportunity has
been afforded for applying mechanical power with the
greatest success, whereby the cost of these beautiful and
most perfect instruments is reduced in price in some
instances to as much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now
no dearer than those of the best French or English makers.
At the depot Callaghan, 23A, New Bond-street, corner of
Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulge
their taste in the possession of a veritable Voigthinder at
comparatively trifling cost. It is superfluous to say the
quality is as ever matchless.
SUICIDES.—In England, during the five years
1863-7, hanging was the most common form of suicide;
and the deaths of 2,081 men and 489 women are recorded
by this means. Cut throat and drowning stand next in
order of frequency; 918 males and 287 females committed
suicide by the former, and 638 males and 477 females by
the latter means. Out of the 6,696 suicides, 4,920, or
nearly three-fourths, were committed in one of those three
ways. By poison there were 363 deaths of males and 308
deaths of females; of these 671 cases the description of
poison was specified in 451 instances ; by prussic acid and
cyanide of potassium 121 deaths aro recorded; by lauda-
num, 101 ; by oxalic acid, 58 ; and by strychnia, 33. By
gunshot wounds 288 males died, while only 8 females
committed suicide by means of firearms. The number of
suicides in the five years in London and in each of the
groups of counties from all causes, and from poison re-
spectively, may be thus stated: —London, 1,285 and 229 ;
South-Eastern counties, 773 and 44; South Midland, 391
and 20; Eastern, 328 and 19 ; South-Western, 560 and 36;
West Midland, 702 and 75 ; North Midland, 493 and GO ;
North-Western, 991 and 91; Yorkshire, 632 and 49 ;
Northern counties, 351 and 37; and Monmouthshire and
Wales, 109 and 11.
