SUICIDES IN RED BANK, MANCHESTER, ON FRIDAY.— The somewhat awful circumstances attendant upon the discovery of two cases of determined suicide, both of which occurred in the same neighbourhood, and were discovered on the same day, has thrown the neighbourhood where they took place into the utmost consternation. Strange to say, both the unhappy individuals who have so rashly thrown away their lives , and both, it is believed, place as follows :—Mr. Hoyle resided at of the body of Mr. Edward arewfiresrte mcianes nei tdohefapteaondfdvetahnnetc, discovery rs caoatygleeeast easy circumstances. The r y Cilhoeyeltehatmoo-sktreet, Red Bank, with his family, a son, about 19, two younger children, and his housekeeper, himself being a widower. His housekeeper heard him stirring between two and three o'clock yesterday (Friday) morning, when he descended from his bed-room to the yard, but shortly after returned up stairs again. On getting up, about half-past six o'clock, the housekeeper perceived him lying in the yard, and on calling his son to see what was amiss with him, it was discovered that lie had cut his throat with a razor, which was found lying near to him. The housekeeper states that she never heard him descend the stairs a second time, and when discovered he was quite dead and appeared to have been so for some time. The melancholy occurrence is attributed to the low state of deceased's mind, he having been much affected since the death of his wife about two years ago. He was 51 years of age. The other case is that of an old man aged 77, a Mr. William Anderton, residing also in Red Bank. He it appears was a widower, was discovered strangled in rbeesdidbiyng aacln.

Both the bodies now lie awaiting coroner's inquests.— Manchester Courier. Dispatches were sent off last evening from the Colonial-office for the Governors of the West India colonies,  O'er the briny ocean's foa-m." The parties, it appeared, after having stuck like bricks to their lasts and shopboards all the previous week to adorn the bodies and understandings of the lieges at Saltfleet, started too early after their Saturday night's cup, on probably a piscatory enterprise within reach of the shore, but being caught in a fog, the boat taking advantage of the would-be ultra marines, turned her stem seawards, while they, pulling, as they thought, homewards, finally found themselves spending Sunday night at sea. Luckily they were not teetotallers, and endured their fate as best they could, under a signal of distress, but another sun set on the sufferers, when, grubless and bubless, they sank exhausted in the bottom of their treacherous barque, now playing the slippery trick of casting herself away on a shoal, which, for aught the unhappy voyagers knew to the contrary, might be some fatal knoll in the German Ocean. By the way it was subsequently ascertained to have been Sandhale, at the entrance of the Humber, where the victims might have walked on shore, at the mere risk of immersion to the waist; they, however, lay snug in their simplicity, until drifting to sea again their signal luckily brought the Nettle to their relief. One of the sons of St. Crispin, on being landed at Spurn Point, said he would never trust the sea again—there was nothing like leather, and he would walk home, even if he went round by Selby Bridge, sooner than cross the water in a boat. Tho other worthy of the last, and the knights schneidcrkins ventured to accompany the pilots to Hull, and again to embark by steam to Grimsby, from whence they reached home, to the great joy of many a social and domestic circle, who had begun to think of " full fathoms five" in the " deep, deep sea."—Hull Packet. " The Animal's Friend Society," of 18, Strand, last week charged David Simmons (the son of the Simmons charged the previous week), before Mr. Norton, at the Lambeth Court, with having ill-treated the same horse as in the former ease, and with violently beating it on the head and nose, while it was overloaded. The father came forward and said be had sold the horse, upon which the defendant was fined half the costs, and reprimanded.
