TERRIBLE SUICIDE OF A BOY  AN EXTRAORDINARY LETTER. On Saturday night a boy, 14 years of age, named Robert Perry Stopford, who resided with his parents at 63, Clowes-street, Gorton, committed suicide under extraordinary circumstances. Deceased Wa, employed at the warehouse of Messrs. Edmund Potter awl Co.. calico printers, Charlotte-street, Manchester, and on returning home from work on Saturday afternoon he told his mother he had been diechaged from his situ'. tion. He ate a hearty dinner and then went outy saying that he was going to see a companion of his in North Road, Longsight. He went there, and he and his companion a lad of seventeen years of age, named Hanley K. Harrison, went for a walk to Levenshulme. It seems that Stopford was very fond of firearms, and had previously given his companion a pistol to oil for him. He asked Harrison if he had brought the pistol, and the latter said he had, and handed the weapon to him. The deceased then made the remark that he would he "in heaven or hell that night," but his companion not thinking he was serious. laughed and left him in North Road about five o'clock. About twenty minutes afterwards Mr. Bertram Greyston, a missionary, living at 10, Liiaxibi.street. Long=ight, found the deceast,l lying in North Road, having apparently shot himself in the stomach with the pistol which was lying clime by.

SOCIETY GOSSIP.  (iron "Thai.")  It was the Queen's own decision to mains the Jubilee procession as stately and splendid as po though she was strongly urged to do as by the Prince of Wales, and also by the aged Duchess of Cambridge, who, I hear, was very earnest ia her advice that everything should be on the grandest scale, and that her Majesty should take the longest routes in driving between Ituclainghaul Palace and the Abbey. . . _  The Jubilee present of the Princess of Wales to the Queen ice moat charming picture by Professor Cor• rodi, of Rome. It represents a chapel shrine to the Virgin on the Venetian lagunes, A peasant girl is trimming the lamp before the image ofsthe Madonna. A boat Waits at the foot of the ladder, in which an o'd fisherman is the principal figure of • pictures um group. The evening sky and the sea are beautifully represented, and it is altogether a most artistic and poetical piece of work. . .  Her Majesty huo received two truly magnificent Jubilee gifts from Rome. The Pope has sent a copy mosaic of Raphael'e beautiful and world-famous representation of Poetry in the allegorical frescoes of Parnassus, which is one of the great eights of the Vatican. The noble figure of Poetry, es she sits in the clouds with the blue sky behind, has teen wonderfully reproduced, and a finer piece of mosaic has never left Rome. It has taken several years to finish. The British residents in Italy have sent a model in silver of the most exquise, fountain in the world—the Fontana della Tartarughe. It is 18 inches in height, and a most dainty and sym. metrical piece of work, but no description am convey an adequate idea of the beauty of the fountain itself. The Duehesse d'Alencon, who has just become insane, has been ins queer, flighty state of mind since the suicide of the King of Bavaria, to whom she Was betrothed about 20 years ago. The duchesse, who is the youngest daughter of Duke Maxim Dian in Bavaria' and sister of the Empress of Austria, is just 40, and she was marred to the Due d'Aleneon in 1868, about a year after her engagement to King Ludwig had been broken off.

Before committing the set he wrote letters to his brothers' his mother, and to Professor Landi, Of Paa. His father committed suicide in an equally unaccountable way. The Congress suspended its proceedings for the day and until atter the funeral. It is doubtful whether they will be continued, emceethough they hove been.  CAPITAL AND LABOUrt.--Delegeal representing I miners in South Smilordshire and East Worcestershire distrects have waited upon Mr. Smith, Lord Dudley's chief agent, to urge him to advise an increase of wages ter !einem Mr. Smith said if miners were willing to work nine hours rind a balf a day he should be willing to advise an increase of Si. a day. The delegate. I argued that eight hours were sufficient, and retool. mended that the tonnage eystem be introduced. The official etatiatice new owning show that there is a falling off in the production of the iron mines of Cleveland—the total produc. being 6,284 545 tons, the value of which is estimated at .E 1,021,238. Whereas for the previous year the production wae 6562,000 tons, and the value £1,162,020. The details show that thirty-two enumerated mines, are working, whereas a year since thirty-five were eo enumerated ; but the larger mines have in the later period produced slightly more generally. In the Me., recent interval the production varied from :31i6 tons to 1313,744 tons, the latter being the proportion of the output of the Liplesthaw mints ; whereas in the previoue year the production varied from 720 tons to 662,200 tone. There in, however, a slight felling off since these returns were made up one or two of the smaller minus barien been closed, but a general belief prevails, that : the lowest rate of output bar now been reached. In spite Of this declension, Cleveland still continues to produce more than a third of the whole of the ironstone raised ID the Unitod Kingdom.
