THE " RED, WHITE, AND BLUE."—Capt. J. M.
Hudson, of the little ship "Red, White and Blue," now on
exhibition at the Crystal Palace, has received a letter
bearing nine signatures, dated from " 88, South-street,
New York, October 2nd," in which the signataries con-
gratulate him and his mate, F. E. Fitch, on their success-
ful passage across the Atlantic in the miniature vessel.
Enclosed in the letter was tho following "extract from
the log of the barque Jessie, Captain Winslow, who says
on the day mentioned in the extract he saw 20 other sail"
also with his glass. "Passed, 20th July, 1866, the Red
White, and Blue, bound oast, lat. 41.10, long. 65.—8.
Winslow, master barque Jessie."

SUICIDE BY VERMIN POWDER.—An inquest was
held at Freemantle, near Southampton, on Satur-
day, on the body of an aged maiden lady named Stodart.
It appeared that deceased was a lunatic, and had been for
some years in the care of a parson named Potringer, but
she was allowed to attend to small household matters. On
Thursday morning deceased was seized with spasms, and
Upon a doctor being called in he at once said she was suf-
fering all the symptoms of poisoning by strychnine. An-
tidotes were offered, but deceased refused them all, and
admitted having taken some of the contents of a packet of
vermin powder. She died in about two hours. A verdict
of suicide in an unsclund state of mind was returned.
