Suicide Sfutistics.--A very curious state
ment and calculation has been published in
Paris by VI. PaiFet, medical professor, rela-
i've to the number of suicides com nnted in
France for thirty years. From the records OF
the police, it appears that the total number OF
suicides attempted TO be committed were 67S2,
and three fourths of the individuals were un-
married. We subjoin the figures furnished TO
him By the police, showing the relative num-
bers OF male and female suicides: Crossed in
love, 81 males, ISL females jealousy, 80
males, 50 females mortified pride, 81 males,
81 females; caumny and loss of reputation,
81 males, % females; remorSe, 81 males, IL
females disappointed ambition, 10 males, IL
females reverse of fortune, 283 males, 80 fe-
males gaming, l41 males, ii females; other
species of misconduct, 20S males, 70 females
domestic chagrins, SPA males, $50 females
misery, 5l1 males. 594 females fanatlcism,
male, 13 females.
1t would, therefore, seem to follow that
somewhere about five women died from love
for three men; that the ladies have consider
ably the advantage, or rather the disadVan-
tage, in jealousy; that in pride they are on
par with the lords of creation that in Ca
lumny and loss of reputation they bear with
three times the fortitude that men evince, that
they feel only about one-third of the remorse
which the other sex experience; and that to
the sorrows which flow from disappointed am
bition, reverse of fortune, and gaming, they
are exposed in a very slight degree in com
parison with their yoke-fellows. This cal
culation, it will be remembered, applies but to
French ladies. In what light similar cal
culation would exhibit our own fair country
women, we presume not to conjecture,

n Steam Loom-A valuable invention has
been made in Belgium. 1t is destined to effect
a great reform in the manufacture of linen
cloths as the steam loom has been made in
that of woollens. 1t is nothing less than a
steam loom for linen fabrics. All the inge-
nuity and perseverance of manufacturers have
been tested to invent machine of this kind I;
but the fabrics have been uniformly so poor,
that the machines have been thrown away, and
manual labor again resorted TO. The diff.
ficalty has been removed by the scientific
