Joseph Birch and Caroline Nash, people living near the Borough Road, have been committed on a Coroner's -warrant for the manslaughter of an infant which had been sent to them to nurse the Jury said the child had "died in consequence of assaults" committed by the couple. EXPERIENCES OF SUICIDE IN FRANCE.—Taking one hundred and sixty-nine for the annual aggregate, the number of men who committed suicide in a state of in- sanity or delirium was twenty-two; of women eight. On account of domestic trouble, the numbers were 18 and six: of drunkenness, fifteen and two; of misery, thirteen and four of disgust of life, eleven and three of disappointed love, ten and three; of misconduct, eight und two; of incurable maladies, eight and one; dread of judicial investigation, seven and one; embezzlement and defalcation, six and one; whilst on account of causes that could not be ascertained or guessed at there remained sixteen men and five women. "I have," I said, "but one more question to ask now. What is the period of life at which suicide is most fre- quent r" A man's tendency to shorten his days," re- plied Monsieur Baptiste, is principally developed between the ages of twenty and nfty it is strongest in woman before she reaches thirty, diminishes from that age to forty, subsides still more within the next ten years, revives again for another decade, and then becomes almost extinct. Old men become weary of life towards its close much oftener than women. In that salle d'ex- position I have seen in one year the white hairs of four men of eighty, more or less but of aged women never more than two. Ah, Monsieur, the Morgue is not a very gay place to live in, but it is a great teacher."—Dickon's Household Word VERBAL INSTRUCTION.—Boys of tender age gain more from verbal instruction than from books, A man speaks with more sympathy than he writes and the tone of voice, expression of feature and gesture, convey mean- ings which-are not to be expressed by words alone.— English Journal of Education.. A GREAT CALF.—Sir William Bond being at a parish meeting, made some proposals which were objected to by a farmer Highly enraged, Sir," said he, to the far- mer, do you know that I have been at two universities and at two colleges at each university ?" Well, sir," said the farmer, what of that ? I had a calf that sucked two cows, and the observation I made was, tho more he sucked the greater calf he grew."—Home Circle. PROVING AN ALIBI,—A clergyman at Cambridge preached a sermon, which one of his auditors commended. Yes," said a gentleman to whom it was mentioned, it was a good sermon; but he stole it This was told to the preacher. He resented it, and called on the gen- tleman to retract what he had said. I am not," re- plied the aggressor, very apt to retract my words but in this instance I will. I said you had stolen the sermon I find I was wrong—for on returning home, and refer- ring to the book whence I thought it was taken, I found it there." At a meeting of the City Commission of Sewers, Mr. Calvert, of the well-known brewing firm, attended on a summons to answer the complaint that the smoke nui- sance of the brewery has not been abated. Mr. Calvert explained that the firm are willing to spend JE 10,000 in abating the nuisance; but that the necessary works would extend over two years. This explanation gene- rally satisfied the Court. An interesting decision has been given in the White- chapel County Court. A number of passengers who came from Australia in the James Alexander sued Ridley, the master, for JE50, for breach of contract, in each case. It appeared that not only were there no." bread, butter, suet, raisins, pepper, and mustard,"—articles which had been promised in the dietary-table shown to the plaintiffs m—'rut the biscuit and flour were vile, and the ship was so badly stowed that the water on deck had to be started and the passengers were reduced to great straits for the want of it. The people were crowded together. When even the ship put into Bahia, the master did not provide the requisite food; and the vessel was afterwards beat- ing about in the ocean with a flag of distress flying. The ship Wave succoured the James Alexander with some pig-meal, which the passengers had to use in the place of flour. It was urged by a solicitor, that the 'owners were liable, not the master. The j udgc decided that the master was liable; and gave JE10 damages in each case. The Thames Police Magistrate has heard more evidence respecting the fatal struggle on board the Queen of the Teign. The new witnesses were Malays, Lascars, and Hindoos and some of the evidence was very unsatis- factory. Mr. Yardley said, if he were sitting as a jury- man, he should feel little difficulty in coming to a decision; but as a magistrate he thought the case was one of so. serious a character that he was bound to send it for further investigation before another tribunal. So he committed Mr. Stooke, the master, and Northcote and Goldworthy, seamen, for trial for manslaughter; but ac- cepted bail. On Wednesday, Ahalt and Ali, the two Malays accused of assaulting the chief mate, with intent to murder, were fully committed for trial. Elizabeth Swainson, a young woman of Bromley in Middlesex, has destroyed herself by swallowing prussic acid and oil of almonds her mind seems to have been unhinged by a love disappointment. To Mr. Kayo, the chemist who sold her the poisons, she said she wanted the oil of almonds to flavour pastry, and the prussic acid to kill crickets. The coroner severely reprimanded Mr. Kaye for his indiscretion in selling such deadly drugs to single applicant without a witness, STATISTICS OF WKECKS—The following is the awful summary of 1850 :—The wrecks of British and foreign vessels on the coasts and in the seas of the United King- dom were 631. Of these 277 were total wrecks; sunk by leaks or collisions, 84 stranded and damaged so as to require to discharge cargo, 304; abandoned, 16; total wrecks, &c 681; total lives lost, 704. In the year 1851 the wrecks on our coast were 701 Of these 353 were total wrecks or sunk, or abandoned, 348 stranded'or damaged, so as to require to discharge cargo. The number of lives lost, as far as could be ascertained, was 750. The most disastrous portion was the month of September; and in the heavy storm of the 25th and 26th of that month 117 vessels were stranded, while dining the whole month the number amounted to 153, or more than five a day thus affording additional proof of the necessity for making the utmost efforts to avert so much calamity. But the past year, 1852, has far exceeded in respect to shipwrecks the two former periods in amount and fatality, no less than 1,100 vessels having been wrecked on' the shores of the British Isles, and the num- ber of lives lost, as far as co'lld be ascertained, being about 900. The greatest havoc took place about the latter end of last October and the beginning of Novem- ber. In this interval no less than 600 ships sought refuge in the IIumber. Many more, however, could reach no shelter; end thus in the course of a few days the unprecedented number of 300 vessels were lost or damaged, with the fearful loss of 217 lives. The greater part of this terrible work of destruction took place on the east coast of England, off Flamborough Head. Gustavus Frederick Maynor, keeper of a hotel at Ber- lin, was brought before the Lord Mayor on Saturday, for stealing money to the amount of £ 2500. Mr. Mul- lens stated, that some members of the Prussian Embassy were staying at Mavnor's hotel; one had a large sum of money with him, which he placcd in the landlord's cus- tody Maynor could not resist the temptation, and lie fled to England with the cash, In London be was ap- prehended, and gave up nearly the whole of the money. From the defective international arrangements, said Mr. Mullens, the prisoner's act could not be recognized as a crime in English law ho left him in the Lord Mayor's hands. The Lord Mayor-was obliged to liberate him. James Scott has been committed by Alderman Mug- geridge for stealing a bill of exchange which had been intrusted to him to get jdiscounted. The notable point in the case was, that Scott first appeared at the Guildhall Police Office as prosecutor against Edward John Picker- ing for stealing another bill; Pickering was eventually liberated, and Scott took his place in the dock Pickering now appearing as a witness. As to the bills themselves, it seems to have been the old story-a number of persons were trying to fly kites," the bills being merely a pre- tence to raise money. A Mr. Butterfield alleged that Scott had done him out of a fifty-pound bill; Butterfield received not a farthing, but eventually had to pay JE180 for bill and law-costs. Technical difficulties prevented the Alderman from committing in this case.

Dowd could not speak a word of English, and in conse- quence one of the rural police was sworn to interpret the evidence into Irish, which language she alone could un- derstand; and as many of the jury could not comprehend English, a Welsh interpreter was sworn, and the court then presented the singular spectacle of a trial being -conducted in three different languages. After the jury 9iad been sworn, Casey withdrew her plea of guilty, and both prisoners were consequently put upon their trial. Mr. James Bowen appeared for the prosecution. Prisoner Dowd said that they were going to work for Mr. Chambers, and wanted a bit of firing first, but never knew it was any harm to take the coal The Chairman summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty against both prisoners. Mr. Bowen recommended the (prisoner Dowd to mercy. The prisoners were sentenced to one month's imprisonment, with hard labour. Attor- >ney for the prosecution, Mr. H. Jones, Llanelly. Elinor Jones was charged with having, on the 20th of July, 1853, at Newcastle Emlrn, stolen a hat, the pro- perty of Messrs. Watkins and Evans. Mr. Bowen was counsel for the prosecution; attorney, Mr. Benjamin Evans, Newcastle Emlyn. Verdict—Guilty. Sentence —Two months' imprisonment with hard labour. Charlotte Griffiths was charged with having, at Llandilo Fawr, on the 25th of July, 18-53, stolen a hen, the pro- perty of Ann Lloyd. Counsel for the prosecution, Mr. James Bowen; attorney, Mr. J. P. Lewis, Llandilo. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Popkin, Llandilo. Ver- dict—Not guilty. Frances Phillips was charged with haviug, at Grey Orchard, in the Parish of Kyflig-, on the 12th of Septem- ber, 1853, stolen a quantity of oak cordwood, the pro- perty of Thomas Thomas. Mr. Bowen appeared for the prosecution; attorney, Mr. S. B. Edwardes. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Richard A. Thomas. Verdict—Not guilty. The Chairman, in discharging the prisoner, said that she left the court with her character entirely unimpaired. Sarah Williams was indicted with having, on the 12th of September, 1853, at Grey Orchard, in the Parish of Kymg, stolen a quantity of cordwood, the property of Thomas Thomas. Mr. Bowen said that the evidence in this case was precisely similar to that which had failed to convict in the last case, he should not therefore detain the Court by producing it. The jury, under the direction of the Chairman, returned a verdict of Not guilty. William Brown pleaded guilty -to a charge of having, at Talfan, in the Parish of Llandowror, on the 16th of October, stolen some wearing apparel, the property of David Lewis.

CARMARTHEN.—-ROBBERY OF SAINT PETER'S CHURCH PLATE. — In our last week's impression we informed -our readers that some plate had been stolen from the parish clerk's house, and we are now happy to say that through the tact and efficiency of police con- stable Buckley, the offender has been brought to justice. -On Saturday the prisoner, a lad, named Thomas Richards, was brought up charged with the above offence. It appears from the evidence of the clerk that he had occa- sion to go to the plate chest to replace some plate, when he found missing a silver chalice and two alms plates. P.C. Buckley said that he apprehended the prisoner at Aberdare, and conveyed him to Swansea, where Mr. Frederick Moses, silversmith, identified the prisoner as the person who offered for sale the missing goods. Mr. Moses proved that the prisoner, was the person that offered the goods for sale, whereupon the prisoner was fully committed to take his trial at the next Quarter Session. Mr. James Bxown, the clerk, stated that the plate produced was the propejty of the Churchwardens of St. Peter'* Church*
