Deplorable accounts continue to reach Paris of
the sufferings of the native inhabitants of Algeria, who
are dying by thousands from famine. Owing to two years
of unexampled drought, and an invasion of locusts un-
paralleled since the settlement of the French colony, the
harvest has aim< s everywhere totally failed, and sufficient
forage can by no means be procured for the maintenance of
the cattle.
Tho Liverpool coroner has held an inquest on
the body of a lad named Elkin, between 14 and 15 years of
age, who, in consequence of being sharply reproved by his
father, had committed suicide by hanging. The youth's
habits were fearfully immoral for one of his years, and he
had several times suffered seriously in health in conse-
quence -of his abandoned plodensities. He had twice en.
listed for a soldier, and had been on both ccosions bought
off by his parents.
