HlTEBAlT.—Whitebait, thee, is may a little
means _fur acqUiring •a great deal of pleasure,/ -smell" it
is always allied with sunehine—it is accompanied by jolly
friends acd good humour. You rush after abott little fish, and
leave the cares of London behind you—tlve row and struggle,
the foggy darkness, the slippery pavement where every man
jostles you, striding on his wa, pre-ciecupied with care writ-
ten on Ms brow. Look out of the window—the sky is tinted_ with a thousand glorious hues—the ships pass silently over
the blue glittering waters—there is no object within sight
that is not calm, and happy, and beautiful. Yes! turn your
heal a little, and there lies the Tower of London in the dim
smoky sunset. There lies Care, Labour, To-Morrow.—aVeto

SUICIDE THROUGH FAMILY DIFFERENCES,--141 St
night an inquest was taken before Mr. J. Payne, Deputy
Coroner, at St.. Bartholomew's Hospital, on view of
the body
of Cornelius Ryan, aged thirty-eight, who cenimitted -self-
destruction with arsenic, at No. 4, Easton-place, Ex-
mouth-street, Clerkenwell, where lie resided. It appeared,
from the evidence, that the deceased Was foreman in the em-
ployment, of Mr. Godby, clothes-dealer, Brook-street, Hol-
born. A few-weeks ago he married a second wife, who was
much younger than himself. Ile had three children, and foe•
the last few weeks -he complained of the treatment of '.ins
wife towards them. On Saturday night last, between el even
and twelve o'clock, he met his brother en Holborn-hill.
He then seated that he was very unhappy about, family
affairs, and he was very depressed in his mind. lee gave
his brother sonic money, 91. 10s. belonging to 'nine niistress,
and observed that the last time he took home hie mistress's
money, he missed a sovereign. lie parted frost. his brother,
and purchased wane arsenic in Gray's Inn-lane, which be
• took in water between twelve and tele o'clock on Sunday
morning. No medical man. was called in till about nice
o'clock, when Mr. King, surgeon, High Holborn, was called
in; deceased was then fast sinking, cud lie was removed to
St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he died in a few hours.
The paper containing the arsenic had written on it " most.
virulent poison." Some of the jury thinking deceased was
in a sound state of mind when he committed the act, t'ne
inquiry was adjourned. The investigation did not conotude
till half-past ten.

CAPTURE or WHALES.—On, the evening of Mon-
day, the Ist zest., the harbour at Stornoway presented sceneseeneof unusual bustle and interest, far surpassing that oc-
easinnett by the herring fishing, About seven o'clock a shoal
of .whales was observed off the mouth of the harbour by two
boats coming from Loens, and no sooner was the circum-
stance perceived in Stornoway, than boats darted off in all directions to the glace of rendezvous, until 100 boats had
got to seaward of a shoal, as was afterwards ascertained, of
170 whalea, and soon succeeded in driving them into the
bay, where they were killed and hauled upon the beach.
The novelty and grandeur of the spectacle attracted a vast
concourse of people to the scene f action, where the crews
of the different boats were waging war with these powerful.
inhabitants of the deep—some with lances, others with:
swords, hatchets, &c., until the sea was coloured with their blood, and covered with foam by the tremendous splasleing
of their tails. The whole were sold next day for 48' I. for
the benefit of the captors. There was a good herring fishing
here yesterday, and the quality of the herrings is excellent..

ROYAL DISPENSARY FOR DISEASES or. THE EAT,,,-..-
Yesterday the twenty-eighth general annual 'Meeting of this
charity waabeld at the Dispensary, the Marquis of -Exeter,
KG., in the chair. The report gave a favourable account of
the affairs of the Institution, and briefly recapitulated the
chief points in it history. From this it appears that the
number of patients cured or relieved since its establishment,
in 11316, is upwards of 13,850, 'including Upwards of 700 cases
of uervous deafness. Thanks were toted to several distin-
guished persons for their support of the charity, and to Si?
Matthew John Tierney, Bart., the physician, and John Har-
riet Curtis, Esq., the surgeon, for the performance of their
respective duties,
Tit E MANCIIESTER.--ALTONA, JULY 10.---We have
received from Brestuu intelligence of six bodies having been
nicked up, amongst which are Captain Dudley, Mrs. emith,
Ur. G. Smith, and two seamen, one of whom had a thick
rope round his body. Captain Dudley and some others have
been buried in Wesselburen Churchyard,
Tininsn Sturrno.--We mentioned last week
that the opening of the guano trade had, greatly relieved
British shipping, and put an end, for a time, -to the ruinous
competition for freights, which had for some time existed,,
but welled not at that time any idea of the number of vessels
which have gone to the African coast in search of this new
manures We have since learnt that it is not less than 600,
at one lowest estimate, and that some persons even- estimate
'it as high as 800, a great number of them being very large
ships. -It is, therefore, no wonder that the taking up so roam, vessels at good freights, and the withdrawing them from this
usual trade, has had a good effect on freights, and on the de-
mand for shipping everywhere,._] firer Tines, • .

TUR P.AvAGEs OF Merrns.—Wast the fur on both Sides with
a mixture of twelve grains of Corrosive sublinoafe dissolved
in half a pint of spirits ef. 'wine. To make,it dissolve more
readily, the corrosive sublimate should be reduced to powder
in a marble miter. If moths have harboured in the lining
wool of moffe, it must be replaced by new wool that has been
well saturated with the above preparation. The mixture in
'odourless, and will not injure the most delicate furs, feather;

ment is also of for the preservation of stuffed speci-
mens in natural history. .
