ROSES AND ONIONS.—A German gardener declares that he has found by experience that an onion of the largest kind, planted near a rose-bush, gives a more agreeable and exquisite perfume to the roses. COAL versus COKE !—" I will sink to h—ii, but I will have coal," said a disappointed mining speculator, not a thousand miles from Sunderland, to one of his workmen, as be 'stood upon time bri.ik of the barren excavation! " Sir," observed the humble and canting operative, in reply, with a. visage of most portentious solemnity, and drawn out- of that ludicrous longitudinal expression of puritanism, so characteristic of the saints of the present day, " if von sink that fir, you will find nothing but cinders!' —lsurhant Chronicle.  An act of suicide, of the most melancholy ' and afflicting description, took place yesterday, at a house in Wilson-place, Gray's-ion-road, the principal cause of which, at present apparent, was disappointed affection and blighted hopes after the appointment of a wedding-day. The unfortunate victim was named JANE BRYAN, about 20 years of age, respectably connected. For some time past she had lived as nursery-maid in the family of a prufessit,nal gentlemen residing in Guildford-street, rear the Foundling, where she was occasionally visited by a young man, to whom, as she inform«l her fellow-servants, she should soon be married. Suddenly, however, a great change was visible in her behaviour, and her spirits, which were buoyant and lively, became•depressed. Some days before she felt her place, she told a female friend that she had been informed that - kept company with another young woman, and that they bad been asked in church at St. Pancras This distressing information, it appears, induced her, in a moment of phrenzy, to swallow a quantity of oxalic acid, which she had obtained, and which terminated I:er existence. After taking the poison she complained of being ill, and the symptoms becoming very alarming, Mr. Hoetuas, a medical gentleman residing on the spot, was sent for. To him she partly acknowledged what she bad done; and the stomach pump and other remedies were imn:ediately, but ineffectually, applied. We extract the following extraordinary story from ti e Austrian Observer :—" There is residing at Nuremberg a young man, named Casea.r. HausEa, and his strange and peculiar destiny has rendered his name celebrated throughout Germany. Persecuted horn his most tender infancy by an unknown enemy, and plunged by him into the greatest miset y, without parents, without family, he was fortunate enough to excite the solicitude of the town of Nuremberg, where he waa lit ought up free of expense, and found the Ricans of obtaining an honourable rank in society. lie began to believe that his misfortunes were at an end ; but the unknown hand which had put sued him from his infancy again sought after its victim. On Vat 17th of October last he was surprised by the adpearanee -of an individual, disguised by a black mask, who knocked him down, struck hint several blows on the head, and left him insensible on the flour. He remained in that state all night, and it was with difficulty he was brought to his senses. He was attacked with a violent fever, and in an agonize,' manner cried out continually, Take away the black man, lie seeks my life!' It was feared for some time that his wounds would be fatal, but he is now getting better, laid it is hoped that his life will be saved. The plice of Nuremberg have made every effort to discover the mysterious individual, but hitherts without success." .....jfesoager des (Thembres.
