DETERMINED SUICIDE.---Last about half past eleven.o'clock, a young man, named JAaZEs 19, residing in Great Surrey-street, BlackMILLs, aged friars'-road, blew his brains out with a pocket pistol. On Friday night last, as two seamen were returning rather groggy to their- ship that was lying in the Tyne, one of them took a fancy to go down Woodside Main pit. His comrade in vain endeavoured to persuade him to give up the idea, and was walking on, when he turned round and was surprised at his appearance. The poor fellow, it seems, had laid hold of a rope at the month of the pit, thinking it would extend to the bottom, but in this he was deceived, for it did not reach further down than 25 fathoms from the bottom, anti he was of course killed instantaneously by his tab.—Durham Advertiser. Reading has not for the last twenty years been so overrun by thieves as it is at present ; scarcely a morning dawns, but our ears are assailed by " Well, have you heard of last night's robbery ?"—Bucks Gazette.

SUICIDES IN FARB.  M. Falret, a doctor of medicine, has prepared, from the official records of the police, a curious memoir on the suicides in Paris, from 1794 to 1823. In these 30 years the whole number of attempted suicides, discovered by the police, was 6,782, of which 4,720 were effected. This ampnnts to 223 per annum on an average, but the number has been increasing; in the ten years ending 1803, it was 107. per annum ; and in the ten years ending 18.23, it was 334. Of the 6,782 persons who attempted suicide, only 1,695, or about one-fourth, were living in the state of legitimate marriage ; and when we consider how small comparatively the number of unmarried is at those periods of life at which the act is generally committed, it may be inferred that the prnpor:ion of suicides among persons living single is tea times as great as among those who are married. This affords a hint to " celebataires." Ir. the ten years ending 1823, the whole number was 3,340 ; and of these it is surprising to find that 181 were under fifteen years of age; and 479 between fifteen and twenty ! But the age at which suicide is most common is between thirty-five and forty-five, the number for that period being 2,370, or two-thirds of the whole. The modes of destruction resorted to (in the whole thirty years) were as follows : Drowning, 2,422 ; fire-arms, 1,125; precipitation from a height, 872 ; strangulation, 838 ; charcoal vapour, 455 ; poison, 390; cutting or stabbing, 634. —1,346 cases of suicide were attr►bttted to physical causes (disease, wounds, or bodily infirmity, we. presume); and 476 to -drunkenness. Of those which were attributed to moral causes, the following is the table given by the police : • Men. Women. Crossed in lore Jealousy Mortified pride Calumny and loss of reputation Remorse 37 ... 12 Disappointed ambition Reverse of fortune Gaming l4l ... 14 Other specieS of misconduct Domestic chagrins Misery (Misere) Fanaticism Misanthropy The author observes, that there are a number registered the causes of which were not known ; and it may also be presumed that causes assigned were often erroneous.  From the known effect of different seasons on the temper and feelings of men, we are not surprised to find that suicides are more frequent in some months than in others. Dividing 6,782 by 12, the mean number for each month should be 565; but in the four cold months, November, December, January, and February, the actual number was only 441; while in the five warm months, between March and September, it was 682.

PARIS AND ITS ENVIRONS.—_Ln of this city are, we perceive, in process of publication, in monthly parts. The first part, whish we have just seen, comes recommended to our notice by the great taste- and finish of its execution. If the remaining series be carried on with equal judgment, the work cannot fail to be popular. HOW A RD'S SPIRIT OF &LA KSPEA RE'S PrAYS.--IrVe have already borne testimony at some length, in two separate notices, to the very superior meritofthese illustrations. An additional part, embracing "Much ado about nothing," and " Richard the Second," has since One appeared, and is fully equal to the former ones. I us. tration, indeed—No. S, the sadness of CbA unin—urho is represented sitting on the trunk of an old tree, in the foreground, in an attitude of pensive rumination, sof-newlW after the Byronian fashion, is superior, both as regards grace and ease, to anything we have yet seen of Mr. dowaan's.

THE TRAGEDY IN TIIE CITY.  ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS-(THES DAY.)  This dreadful tragedy appears to exc:to still greater interest than it did either on Saturday or yesterday, and further investigations have brought to light that the unfortunate female who was the first victim was not named Talian as reported in the morning papers, but Stallion. She was the widow of a highly respectable mechanic, and for many years in the employment of Messrs. Poutifex, the well-known coppersmiths, of Shoe-lane. The statement that she had born four children by the suicide and murderer is incorrect, she having only three children, who were left by her late husband living with her, and one boy apprenticed aL the above-named firm, who, we are informed by the lad's uncle, took one apprentice beyond their usual number entirely out of respect to his late father. The friends also state that the accounts of Mrs. Stallion's habits of intemperance hay.) been much exaggerated, and they have every reason to believe that the fearful deed was committed by Tillett in revenge for her having resisted his advances and refused to share with him the money she was in the habit of receiving. The unfortunate boy, described as one of Tillett's sons, and who suffered seven days' imprisonment for tome youthful indiscretion a few days ago, was not Tillett's son, but ono of the poor woman's late husband's, who died in March, 18G1. Up to a late period Mrs. Stallion had borne the character amongst her own friends and family as being a very hard working and steady woman, and if she had lately given way to any little excesses they would be attributed entirely to anxiety of mind caused by the delay of realising the little property left by her late husband for the benefit of the children.

THAMES.  CHARGE OF WILFUL MURDER.—Adelaide Freedman, the wife of a man who has been separated from her five years, and who has been pursuing his fortune in Peru, was brought up on remand charged with the wilful murder of her infant, aged one month, and afterwards attempting to commit suicide.  The prisoner is very ill, and it was requested by the gaoler, Mr. Roche, that her commitment on remand ought to be made out immediately, and that she should be at once sent back to Clerkenwell prison, where she has been confined a week.  It was stated by Police-sergeant Bride; chief of the detectives of the K division, that Dr. Letheby had not completed his analysis of the deceased child's stomach and viscera which had been forwarded to him. Thu inquest on the body of the child would not hi resumed for another week.  She was then led out of the d .ek in a falut:ng condition, and placed before a good tiro in the gaoler's rooni until she revive,', and was then sent away in a cab to Cer:;en well Prison.  It appears that the prisoner expected her husband to arrive in England in a few weelcz, and being fearful that he would discover her ialidelity, of whist shJ had le mn guilty in his atsouce, determined to ma':e a•,vay with the child by administering to it salts of lemon, and then in a fit of remorse took some i f the a tan acid herself, whit a view of destroying herself, and failed. She was reniov d to the London Hospital, where sLe remained under medical treatment until she was taken into custody by Bridal at the Hospital. Her purchase of the salts of lemon and her administratim of it to the infant has been fully proved.
