A SUTTEE PREVENTED.—We hear from Rajpore
tana that a suttee was attempted at Oodeypore in the b
ginning of the present month, by the widow of a mahaju
Her determination was strong, and she was only prevents
from carrying out her purpose by main force, a guard
sowars and sepoys having been placed over her house lot
four days; she refused to suckle her child, or to take any
food, declaring that she would starve herself to death, bug
her resolution failed her, and she eventually relinquished
her mad design.—Delhi Gazette.
Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess of Prus-
sia (Princess Royal of Great Britain) has, like the Em-
press of the French, signified her intention to send some
contributions for the bazaar in aid of the Leeds Mechanics'
Institution.
PRESENTATION TO A SEA CAPTAIN.—The Liver-
pool Local Marino Maid met yesterday, and a telescope
was presented to M. E. S. Hamm, at the time master of
the screw steamer Darien, fur saving life on two occasions
by assistance rendered to the ship General Williams, of
Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and the schooner Harmony, of
Cardigan.
t,e gvaree of exchange at New York on London for bills
