We understand that another boy attempted to
hang himself yesterday in %Vest-street. It seems
the young urchin had been contradicted in some
trifling matter by his mother, and sent up stairs.
On going up a short time afterwards, she found
him employed in putting the rope round his
neck, and he had already placed a box to throw
himself from.—Brighton Paper.
The great satirist, Doctor Huire, arrived in
town by the last Steam Packet from Germany.
This gentleman ranks on the Continent with our
Swift ; his " Reisibelder " is one of the most
humourous productions of German Literature,
much in the style of Jean Paul and Hoffman.
ALARMING FlRE.—Yesterday afternoon,
about four o'clock, a fire broke out in the upper
storey of a tenement of wooden houses on the
north side of the Lawnmarket, head of Baxter's
Close. It had at first a most alarming appear-
ance, and we are sorry to add, that a poor woman
lost her life on the occasion. It is said that the
fire began in a room adjoining her own, and that
she was asleep and intoxicated at the time it
broke out. She was brought to the street in a
state of suffocation, and carried to the shop of
Mr. Sinclair, surgeon, who promptly admini-
stered such aid as her case require.d--but it was
found impossible to restore animation.—Edin-
burgh Observer.
