THE CORPORATION.—On Saturday the

their Honours indulged liberally in the Hoek and Chant-
puigne, provided in the anti-room for their refreshment.—
The Address, we need not say, was in the usual slip-slop
style—and it contained, as usual, a strong and pointed
paragraph about Church and State. Lord Alicr.EsEA
returned-thanks ; but to the extreme annoyance and dis-
appointment of their Honours, he made no response to the
paragraph in question.—Dublin Evening Post.

Tile salmon fishing in the Clyde has now
commenced, and we understand premises to be attended
with considerable success. There is, at all events, every
prospect that the take of fish will he greatly superior to
that of last year, which was the most unprosperous season
ever known.—Caledonian Mercury.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.---A young woman
of very respectable appearance was observed, early yester-
day morning, to be loitering about the Blackfriars-road,
and shortly alter she was seen to go down the steps and in-
stantly plunge into the water. A young man who knew
her, and had followed her for some time, went in and
rescued her from a watery grave. The young woman, who
is about twenty, and a native of Birmingham, was seduced
a few months back by an officer, and brought up to London
by him. This circumstance coming to the knowledge of
her friends, is considered as the cause of this rash attempt
at 'elf destruction,
