IMEISCELLANEOUS.
A female, unknown, has committed suicide by hanging
herself at the Red Lion public-honse, in Mulgrave-place,
Woolwich. The deceased, who appears to have been a re-
spectable-looking young woman, about twenty-five years of
age, had engaged a lodging for the night at the Red Lion, and
the following morning was found hanging to the bed-rail, in
the chamber which she occupied. She is described as five
feet four or five inches in height, of fair complexion, with
light hair, and wearing a black stuff gown with cape and
cloth boots. Her linen was marked "E. P.," and she had a
cotton handkerchief marked " J. P."

The Bishop of Calcutta has no intention of resigning his
bishopric. His visit to this country, should he be spared to
return, will be only temporary, with a view to recruit his
health, which has suffered severely during his recent visita-
tion. He proposes to take a furlough of eighteen months,
and to return to India in time to consecrate the new cathe-
dral. The state of his health may possibly alter this
arrangement, but such is his present design. He has
engaged a passage by the Oriental steamer, which leaves
Calcutta on May 10, and may be expected in England about
the end of June.

age passengers on board, and several packages of specie.
The variable state of the wind for the last day or two has
enabled this vessel to clear the Channel, where a very large
fleet of ships have been detained for a considerable time, ow-
ing to adverse winds and boisterous weather. So soon as
the wind changes from the quarter it has remained in for so
long a time, and the present severe weather breaks up, a
large influx of vessels is expected.
