ROBBERY AND SUICIDE.— Some little time ago, Jan Honijik, superintendent of the Post-office at Amsterdam, absconded with about £BOO of Dutch notes and securities. He came to this town and engaged a cabin passage from Messrs. Sabel and Cortis, of Waterloo-road,,in the ship Emerald,- for New York. On Monday he applied to Mr. Samuel, South Castle-street, and Mr. Caffre, Waterloo-road, to have the residue of the notes exchanged for'American money. After-conferring with the Dutch consul, who had not then received any information of the robbery, the 'brokers exchanged his notes for him. On the same day, the police had received aictice of the robbery, and a description ef the property, and the thief. Inspector Murphy, of the detective force, immediately set out in search, and, singular to say; arrived at Caffre's-ahop a very short time after Honijik had deft. He traced the ,prisoner to a foreign boarding-house in'No. 3 Court, Bridgewater-street, where he succeeded in apprehending him. Jan Honijik had nearly all the money he had-obtained for the notes on his person at the time, and was armed with a loaded-double-barrelled Murphy placed heist prisoner in a room: in the Central Policeoffice, Dale-street,, previous to his removal to Amsterdam. Another prisoner was in the same room with him the greater part of Tuesday,: but, about half-past three o'clock in the afternoon, Honirikavas left alone. Lilian hour afterwards he was discovered on . his knees, having -etrangled himself by means of a leather strap which he wore round his waist. He was quite dead. Before resorting- to -the strap he had attempted to commie-suicide by hacking the veins and arteries of his wrist with a broken tumbler. 'He was a finely-formed, intelliaent-Inetaana man, about twenty eight years of age. An inquest was held bsfore cue morouga• coroner, on ‘1 eunesuay, when the jury returned a verdict offe/o de se.

FOREIGNER'S OPINION OF ENGLAND.—The people of this beautiful island have the inestimable treasures of liberty, power, and honour. England is an unconquerable fortress, a charming garden fenced in by the ocean and by rocks : her tranquil safety is cheap at any price. No poisonous reptiles creep on her soil ; the wolves have been exterminated for centuries past ; but, in return, the sweets of existence are open only to hard labour or high birth. A consequence of this is a spirit of caste, a tendency to seclusion, a stubborn and rugged independence. Look at the continent. Hour towns, with their eternal state of siege, had your fogs and clouds of smoke, your penitential Sundays, and breathless week-days, who ever could resist the temptation of committing suicide P Why, such a state of things were a hell on earth. And can you believe that Providence would allow such a state of things to exist ? But to return to England :—This country has the greatest parliament, the most powerful orators, the most humane police, the freest newspapers, and the most untouchable liberty, and with all this you lay claim to a monopoly of good potatoes and manners. You would have all the gifts and perfections on earth. But if this same England could, in addition to its solid political heritage, have the charms of continental leisure hours, why then this same England were a paradise on earth, literally a paradise, where no one could ever think of dying.

TILE POLTIMORE COMPANY.—A copper mine in ;Devon known as the:Poltimore mine, was lately sold to Mr. 13rockiebank, of this town, for £2,600, and the shareholders 'having reason to believe-that the sale was grossly mismanaged, :and that the mine was fully worth £5OOO, mot at the Stork Hotel, on Thursday, when a deputation was appointed to ;confer with Mr. Brodhlebank on the matter. Mr. Brocklebank, however, refused to have anything:to do with them. The shareholders thenzpassed a series of resolutions, one being to the effect—" That, ,under the circumstances, the shareholders do not recommend that the alleged priblic sale should be confirmed by the •committee, and they new authorise the committee to adopt such steps as they may be advised • are necessary to carry ,olit the resolution."  SUICIDE BY A .WomiN.—On Wednesday, an inquest was held on the body of Elizabeth Fagan, who had committed suicide by drowning (herself in the canal. The deceased was 52 years of age, and lived apart from her husband, in Wrightstreet, Toxteth-park. She had been math addicted to 'intemperate habits doing the last eighteen months,. and in consequence had not' xen on good terms with her family, though she had been mainly supported by, her. son. On Tuesday morning she went out of the house,. apparently in good health and spirits;' but a few hours afterwards a man, named James Scott, saw. .her struggling in the• canal near Bootle. Scott immediately-rescued her, but she died in a few minutes after. On searching the body, 6s. 841. and 44 pawn-tickets were found in her pocket, together with note addressed 'to Le. is -a To Children, Mrs. Cornet. This note is from your mother. I forgive you all. Look for my body in the canal I. will leave a mark. No more from. your forsaken • mother." On a loose piece of paper, which was also found in her pocket, she had written—`f Please to take my body to Mrs. Cornet, al, Hornby-street. A Forsaken Mother.', The jury returned a verdict of "Febo de se," and she was, consequently buried without the usual Christian rites.
