THAMES.  ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A POLICE STATION.—Jane Dunbar, a very noisy and dissipated young woman, fast going to destruction, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting several persons, and attempting to commit selfdestruction.  The prisoner was intoxicated and disorderly, and rolling about the streets in the neighbourhood of the Commercialroad, and some children were following her, and laughing and hooting at her eccentricities. She lost her temper and made an attack, not upon those who were amusing themselves at her expense, but on children she met in front of her. She seized a boy, named Walter Henry Bray, of No. 10, Dean-street, knocked him down, and dragged him along by the heir of his head. His mother interposed, and the prisoner abused her and used very foul language, and struck her with her fist on the face. Theprisoner then knocked down a little boy, whose mouth bled copiously. The prisoner was then seized and consigned to the custody of the police. She made an attempt to hang herself in the cell, and was found nearly dead, with several strings .torn from her dross round her neck, and the constables at the King David-lane station had much trouble to save her. A policeman, 334 K, said he knew the prisoner well. She had one month's imprisonment for assaulting him a short time ago. Police-sergeant Sutherland, 46 K, stated that the prisoner was a most disorderly prostitute, and had repeatedly been in custody. The prisoner—l am very fond of a drop, sir, and of course when I am in that way I don't know what I do. Mr. Paget said the prisoner was a very bad woman, and that he could not permit respectable persons and their children to be struck with impunity by incorrigible prostitutes. Ho sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment for the assault on Mrs. Bray, and one month for the assault on her boy, the sentences to be consecutive, and with hard labour.

SUICIDE OF A HORSE.-A correspondent writes : —A. few days ago a poor` creature, worn to skin and bone put an end to his existence in a Vary extraordinary manner. His pedigree is unknown as he was quite a stranger. A very worthy gentleman here met him in a public market, and thinking he could find employment for him put him to work but it was soon discovered that work was not his forte; in fact, he would do anything save work and go errands. His great delight WAR to roam about the fields and do mischief. People passing him used to ejaculate, " Ugh, you ugly brute," when they saw the scowl which was continually on his face. His master tried to win him by kindness. He remembered the old song, "If I had a donkey that wouldn't go, do you think I'd wallop him ? Oh no, no." The kindness was lost upon him. He next tried the whip, then the cudgel, but all in vain. Work he would not.. And as a last resort the punishment of Nebuchadnezzar of old was tried. He was turned out, "but house or hauld," to eat grass with the oxen. With hungry belly and brokan heart, he wended his lonely way down by Point, and still held on his lonely way, regardless of the the Moor's Shore, passed Luckyscaup, turned the Moor's wondering gaze of the Pool fishermen. At length he arrived at a point opposite the wreck of the Dalhousie, where he stood still ; and while the curiosity of the fishermen was wound to the highest pitch as to what was to follow,  he, neighing loudly and tossing his old tail, rushed madly into the briny deep, got beyond his depth, held his head under the water, and soon ceased to be. The fishers  conveyed the true, although strange and startling tidings, to the respected owner, that his horse had committed Stli cide.—Dundee 'Overflow.

AMERICA.  [REUTER'S TELEGRAM.] ARRIVAL OF THE JURA. (Via Roche's Point.) NEW YORK, Nov. 15 (Noon). The South Carolina Legislature has adopted the constitutional amendment abolishing slavery, thus securing the adhesion of the necessary number of States to make the amendment form of the Federal Constitution.  Mr. Worth has been elected Governor of North Carolina by a majority of from 5,000 to 10,000 over Mr. Hobden.  The States of Wisconsin and Minnesota have voted against negro suffrage. It is officially reported that the mortality among the negroes during the war against the South averaged from 30 to 50 per cent. This excessive mortality continues in many parts of the South. A semi-official statement has been published asserting that Mr. Crawford, the British Consul at Havannah, gave direct personal assistance to the rebels during the war. Over two million bales of cotton and 50,000 boxes of tobacco had been smuggled through the blockade with Mr. Crawford's connivance.  A list of persons in England stated to have furnished the rebels with contraband of war has also been published. It is authoritatively announced that the Federal Government, in order to preserve neutrality in the Mexican war, will allow no armed parties to pass the 'Federal frontier, nor permit munitions of war to be sent to either belligerent. General Kilpatrick has been appointed Minister to Chili, and he will previously visit Spain on an official mission.  Preston King, the collector of the New York Customs, has committed suicide.  The Hartford papers report a movement of Federal troops towards the Maine frontier, caused by the apprehension of trouble arising from the demands of a British officer for the return of deserters escaped from Canada.  The Portsmouth Chornicle states that orders have been received at the Portsmouth Navy yard to prepare the large ironclad Passaconaway and three other steamers for sea immediately. Secretary Seward had a long interview with the President on Monday last, giving rise to the rumour that the British Government had made some formal demand on the Federal Goverment respecting the Fenian movement. The Fenians have rented a large house in Union-square, New York, which has been fitted up for Government offices. The steamer Sacramento sailed from San Francisco on the 10th for Panama with $BBO,OOO for New York, and $475,000 for England. The Persia arrived here this morning, but was detained in quarantine for observation. The City of Washington and the Belgian have arrived out. General Logan has been appointed Minister of the Mexican Republic, of which he is reported to be a strong friend. Mr. Browning, who was President Johnson's private secretary, has been appointed Secretary of Legation to General Logan.

THE -HOLBORN AND RAMSGATE MURDERS.—A correspondent of the Times writes :—There is not the slightest doubt that Forward and Southey are one and the same individual. I enclose a letter which he addressed to me in the early part of July, and in which you will read that "circumstances have occurred to precipitate the catastrophe," which has since been carried into execution. This unmitigated villain stopped me in the High-street, Putney, inJune last, to request half, an hour's conversation. He was a perfect stranger to me, but had got hold of my name. It was impossible to shako him off, and having admitted him into my garden, he occupied more than one hour in recounting his views of social obligations. After he had left 1 went immediately to the clergyman of the parish, who informed me that Southey had been residing in Putney some nine months, making a very profitable trade by threatening to poison several children, to shoot a nobleman, and to commit suicide.•Up to the 12th of July the fellow frequently waylaid me on the road to and from home, bent upon my giving at least four hours to the study of his case. This I positively declined, but thinking that he might at the end of so many months have exhausted all sources of gain by his infamous threats, and willing to test his professed anxiety for legitimate employment, I wrote to him on the 10th of July, offering him some work, during the East Surrey election, intending, if he performed it well and conducted himself properly to procure him permanent employment in London, that he might have a chance of extricating himself from his position. This offer he rejected, on the plea of urgent business at Brighton, and thdre he was seen by members of my family waking up and down the parads with a female the following week. My object in addressing these few lines to you is to show that Southey cannot plead want of work as an excuse for his villany, and I only hope that he will not on the ground of insanity escape the punishment due to him, for, in my humble judgment, he is quite sane enough to be held responsible for his acts
