THE DEAD ALIVE.—Our readers will probably recollect that, about eight or ten weeks ago, we gave an account of a suicide committed by a female, in the water above Hutchesontown Bridge, and of the recovery of the body a few d ys afterwards sornewherwear Govan. The wife of a dyer. residing in HutchesonTown, but who wilt separated from her husband some years ago, on account of her intemperate habits, disappeared about the same time, and thebody, when discovered, answered the description of the (bees wife so well, that he immediately applied to a friendly society of which he is a member, and obtained the allowance (4/.) to bury his supposed wife, which he did with every due solemnity. Although a staunch teetotaller, be was so overjoyed at getting rid of one who was a thorn in his side for an long a time, that he even broke his pledge, and has been in the habit of taking little drops occasionally since. But, alas! this happy state of things must come to an end. On Monday last, whilst sitting comfortably at his dinner. who bounced in upon him but his own identical spouse, whom he buried, as he supposed, eight weeks ago. The consternation which so unwelcome a guest caused is easier imagined than described. The housekeeper fainted, and it was with some difficulty she was brought to, and the husband's eyes almost jumped out of their soakets ; however, in a short time, order was restored, and after a little explanation from this visitant from the invisible world they recovered from their panic. It appears, that instead of throwing herself into the Clyde, as was supposed, she repaired to a neighbouring town, where she remained until the date of her re-appearance. The unfortunate husband sorely laments his loss, as he must now refund the 4/. which he obtained to bury her.—Glasgow Post.

THIS DAS;), ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Mary Ann Oddy, a midula aged woman, of respectable appearance, was placo before Mr. Hardwick charged with attempting m commit suicide, by jumping from off the bridge in the Serpentine River, Hyde•park. tiO John Chitty, one of the men employed by Royal Humane Society, stated that on Friday al"or. a noon last about four o'clock he heard an alarm g'10.6" that a woman had thrown herself from the briuvc into the water. He immediately got the boat Olio and rowed to the spot, where he just arrived as °13,1 of the watermen who ply on the Serpentine 119 pulled her up. She was then to all appearance ceire dead.

She hal repeatedly III; plied to Mr. Barwise, who refused to do anything,'; her. Her wearing apparel was detained at her lob; ing for arrears of rent, and she had become in sail a destitute condition that she was determined to elo her troubles by committing suicide. The witl!fce added that she had attempted to drown herself 0`,:.. before. They had then the greatest difficulty e storing her. a it In reply to Mr. HARDWICK, the prisoner sal cl. bon stated. quite correct and true what the last witness Pop stated. She thought it very hard to be turned out re the world after being for twenty-seven years con netted with Mr. Barwise.

PRESENCE OF MIND.—Some few months since We noticed that the wife of a pensioner named Chadwick, residing at Matlock Bath, had been the means of saving, the life of a woman, who, through distress of mind, had attempted suicide by hanging; and it is a singular fact that the same aged individual last week was providentially the means of preserving from death the infant of the woman who had made the rash attempt alluded to. The child, who was just old enough to run about, bad strayed into a neighbour's cottage, and there, unPe" ceived, fallen head foremost into a deep narrow earthen vessel, locally called a " doshen," which was half fun of water. It was luckily discovered by old Rhoda AS the point of suffocation, and rescued from its perilous position, to all appearance inanimate, when Rhoda, with i her usual promptitude and presence of mind, instead.o raising an alarm or running about to seek remedies, 111 stantly applied such restorative means as common sense and her own experience dictated, and restored theinfAn6 to consciousness before the mother was even made 50. quainted with the accident. Rhoda Chadwick, who, as a soldier's wife, was for many years exposed to the vicissitudes, hardships, and dangers of the camp, the ~ march, and the battle-field, attained her 80th year la" Saturday, and during a residence of thirty years In Matlock Bath, has been a most useful woman among the middle and poorer classes in cases of sickness or accident. We bear it is intended by Rhode's neighbours to present her with some slight testimonial for having, in the evening of her life, promptly saved from destruction two of her fellow-creatures.--Derbyshire Courier. THE BOILER EXPLOSION NEAR RoraDALE.—The inquest on the people destroyed by the explosion was concluded on Thursday. The jury brought in a verdict that " John Leach came by his death accidentally, from the explosion of the steam-boiler, caused by an undue pressure of steam; that the safety-valve was defect'° in construction and neglected in condition; and that it appeared the mercurial steam-gauge was plugged with an iron plug', and, consequently, useless." The jell also expressed their opinion that Richard Bootb, thei engine-tender, was incompetent for his situation, and that great blame was attached to those who such incompetent persons. Similar verdicts were returned in all the other cases. MR. ALDERMAN WOOD AND THE WARD OE Co;'
