A paper was received a few days ago by the Acaderaie de Medicine, from M.fLegott, Director of tUc Office of.Statistics, of France, on the J ' munWfer of suicides in Europe. .From this la- | , borons work, it appears that suicides increase in a more rapid ratio than population and mortality in general in Bavaria, Denmark, France, Ilanover Mecklenburg, Prussia, the Kingdom of Saxony and Svvedon. Suicides are most frequent in Northern Germany, and in various parts of Denmark. Sweden and Norway, though belonging to the same race, are proportionately inferior to Denmark in that respect Contrary to a generally adopted opinion, ' . England stands nearly at the bottom of the scale; and so do Belgium, Austria and.^Spain; Fr tuee holds an intermediate position ; she, would rank with the three last uamed^countrjes, were if possible to eliminate the sricidcs of Paris, which are one seventh of the total number inFrancc. Generally, for every 100 suicides of men, there are from 29 to 30 of women. The number of suicides increase with the age of individuals, at least, until ibe ago of 60. The number of'suicides-is generally lowest in January and highest in July. As to the causes, insanity and physical suf-i fering are about as active in producing suicide among m'Cn as among women;'as to the rest the latter yield more to grief occasioned by moral causes than men, who are chiefly afhjcted by material affection, such as loss of property, bankrnptcy,.&c. Drunkenness and dcbanch-1 erv only form an insi<rnificant item amonctite1 causes impelling women to suicide, in Den-; mark , Spain'and Saxony, tlie only countries ' where it has been possible to obtain reliable information on the subject, married people 'are the least subject to commit suicide, and'widowers, on the contrary, are most liable to it; bnt suicide occurs most frequently among mnrrietb people that have been divorced or separated. In Prussia, in the coarse of .two years, there " were 153 suicides of Protestants per miljion, 51 of Israelites, and only 47 of Catholics "per million each. Suicides ate much more numerous in capital cities than,in the country. The genera! result of all those investigations .-shows a ur/iver sal and rapid increase of snickles. The authorities is of the opinion that is attributable to unlimited competition ; to %hc immoderate thirst after \vealth;'to the progress of public instruction, which excites ambition; to political agitatibn and to speculation.??

The following letter, from the British Minister at Washington settles the statas <>f British subjects within the Confpdpracy : ,r british Legation, ) Washington D. C., Angtist 25, 1864. j Sir : I have now received instructions from Her Majesty's Government, concerning the position of British subjects at Memphis. Her Majesty's Governmet^ thinks, under all tire circumstances, that if Britjsli subjects who are domiciled or resident at Memphis have a fear option of leaving it, or 'remaining in it without the privilege of carrying on trade or commerce, and if the military HUtlmrjtiea really consider it necessary, for military reasons, that i such an. election shall .he made. Ilor Majesty's j Government cannot insist upon British subjects i being-relicvpd^ from' it, however serious the; hardships may be.' ller Majesty's Government cannot undertake to secure to British subjects, who voluntarily reside in a foreign ! city in a time of civil war, the same rights which are incident to thoir natural status, 111 j time of peace, in their own country. Such a | demand is, in the opinion of Her Majesty's! Government, unreasonable in theory, and impossible irt practice. Her Majesty's Government have, therefore,, directed mc to apprize. British subjects resident tft Memphis, that if they wish to put themselves effectually under British protection they must discontinue their residence in that place, which is govcrnod by martial law, the operation of which law, during civil, war, a foreign State cannot, in nrdi narv cases, interfere with.
