The niece of a respectable woman, living at N 0.4, Passage de la Reunion, Rue St. Martin, committed suicide, on Tuesday last, under the following circumstances :—Some dais ago the aunt was called into the country on business, and kit her niece at home. During the absence of her aunt, the girl received the visits of several young men, which, however, innocent, gave rise to observations among some of the neighbours, who threatened 4n complain of h. r oa her aunt's return, which was daily expected. On Friday morning, the porter of the house, not seeing the niece stirring, long after her usual time, went up to her room to call her, and, receiving no answer, became alarmed, and had her door forced open. 'I he poor girl was found dead, having produced suffocation by two braziers o charcoal.  An instance of spontaneous combustion occurred a few days ago, at Lille. Some coarse cloths, which had been used in cleaning the iron work of some machinery in a factory, and had thereby become saturated with oil, were thrown into a wooden box on the floor of one of the workshops, and happened to stand in the sun. Between nine and ten in the evening a faint smell of burning was perceived in this part of the building, and, search being made, it was found that these sloths had ignited and were smouldering. Fortunately the discovery was made in time to prevent any disastrous conaeguenoes.  FOREIGN PIRAcY OF

M. Lamartine is to undertake the direction of the Paris journal La Patrie on the Ist of November. The consumption of butcher's meat in Paris during the month of September last amounted to 5,963 oxen, 2,257 cows, 6,524 calves, and 38,212 sheep. It exceeded the consumption of the corresponding month of 1841 by 1,151 oxen, 566 cows, 656 calves, and 4,400 sheep. This increase, it is said, was occasioned by the great number of strangers who visited during the month of September, and not to a fall in the price of cattle, which is still very high at the markets of Sceaux and Poissy. The commeroial treaty between Belgium and Holland had been definitively concluded. It is stated that there is still a probability of the King of Prussia visiting Paris. A.

The number of students in `the different Universities of Russia in 1841 was 2,465; and the number of volumes in the libraries of the Universities was 282,265.

On the road he shot himself with a pistol. This suicide is said to be connected with more important facts, which are now under investigation.

G., in the Chair, it appeared that since its estab;ishment in 1616, upwards of 12,700 patients had been cured or relieved. A handsome piece of plate was presented by his Royal Highness to Mr. Curtis, the surgeon of the institution, which was voted to him at the last annual meeting as a token of the high opinion entertained by the friends of the instiution of the services which hall been rendered to it by that gentleman. As a proof of its utility, it Indy be mentioned that 15,2 poor patiPrits attens!ed at the Dispensary on Tuesday last. Aft the meeting his Royal Highness honoured Mr. Curtis with a visit at his house in Solih-square, and ii,spected his wellknown acoustic chair and his rare anatomical preparations of I the ear.
