ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Grace Copson, a needlewomatt, residing at 13, Little Windmill-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting to commit suicide by cut ting her throat with a knife. Mr. Alexander Clephane, baker, of 13, Little Windmill street, said that on the previous day the prisoner, who was a lodger in his house, ran down stairs into his shop and seized a knife from the counter and attempted to cut her throat with it, and would have succeeded in doing so bad ho not prevented her. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness said the pri soner, who was of weak mind, had been drinking for some days, and was labouring under the effects of drink at the time. A female said she saw the prisoner in the shop flourish ing the knife about, and she thought she was mad, and ran away, being frightened. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the best thing that could be done would be to send her to the House of Detention for a week, when she would be properly looked after. THAMES. INGRATITUDE AND ROBBEICIC.—Gcorge Darling, a well dressed youth, who, was said, to be well connected, was charged with stealing a silver watch and gold chain, value £l3, the property of Mr. William Jameson, a gentleman of the medical profession, and dwelling at No. 63, High street, Wapping. The prisoner lodged in the same house for a fortnight. He had been treated with great kindness by the prosecutor, who intended him for some profession. On Monday last the prosecutor advanced the prisoner a loan of £5 10s. to forward his interest. At one o'clock on Wednesday morning the prosecutor went to bed, and laid his watch and chain on a table in his bed-room. When he arose at eight o'clock the same morning ho missed his watch and chain. lie took no notice of his loss for a couple of hours, and thought the prisoner was wearing both for amusement, but at 10 o'clock he missed the pri soner also, and gave information of his loss at the head department of t police, in Scotland-yard. Yester day evening the prosecutor met with the pri silouer in the Ill ackfriars-road, near the Surrey one a re ti fe e :T a i n n to dg gaveth himthe watch, into custody. other the two chain, w duplicates, ere found on the prisoner.

Mr. Jamieson said that £2 3s. lid. was found on the Prisoner, and that as he had lent him Lo 10s. a few days ago he ought to have that money.

WESTMINS7 ER. THE POLICE AND THE PUBLIC. Mr. Henry Johnson, of the Mitre Tavern beershop, New-roal, Chelsea, was summoned for suffering beer to be consumed after the hour of 11 o'clock at night against the tenor of his license, and contrary to the statute.

Two men were in front of the bar. The Inspector saw ono of them had a glass of ale in his hand at the time he entered the house, while ularke said the beer was on the counter when they en tered ; and Clarke further proved that one of the men drank up the beer as he (Clarke) left the house, but to this the Inspector did not depose.

Before this is in print the great contest will have commenced throughout France. The Government has apparently used the five days of silence to the best advan- - Inge. The efforts of the officials, aided by the Govern ment papers, to propagate statements and comments anfavourable to the Opposition have been incessant. As I mentioned before, these propaganda have been by no means of an impartial character. Indeed, there is no doubt that the zeal of the Emperor's subordi nates has led them into a great deal of hard swearing which, to put it mildly, cannot be substantiated by fact. Amongsts the newspapers the Patric is the most notorious offender. It persists in assuring the electors of France that a vast conspiracy, embracing - all the Reds of the country and the political exiles, was planned for last week, and that the disorders in Paris were intended to be the signal for the first outbreak:. These affirmations have been denied in several quarters, but the Patric repeats them. It has received its orders, and its only business is to obey. It does not mind being convicted of saying what is not precisely the truth, provided that it can frighten the electors. Therefore, though the report of a projected revolution is utterly without foun dation, the Patric continues to spread it. The facts speak for themselves. One hundred and thirty two persons have been retained in prison. Of these, more than half are street boys, gamins under 20 years of age, atid of the rest, twenty-three have been in prison before. There remain but forty-seven persons, therefore, against whom the charge of attempting to overthrow the Imperial Government could be raised with the slightest chance of proof. Thou sands of persons took part in the disturbances of Wednesday and Thursday week. There were 20,000 in front of the Cirque Napoldon alone, and yet the all powerful police of Paris can implicate no more than forty-seven who are not boys or Old offenders. Though the elections in Paris are supposed to be pre determined against the Government, nowhere in France will the contest be more interesting. • Moderate Radicals sire opposed to uncompromising. Democrats, and the ques tion to be decided Will be whether Paris is disposed to effect a coMproinise with the Emperor on the "Liberty without Revolution" principle, or whether it is yet, as before, irreconcileably hostile to Imperial rule. In the first circumscription, Carnot, the deputy in the last Chamber, is opposed by Gambetta, the rising Republican lawyer; in the second, Thiers, the moderate Liberal, is contested by D'Alton Shoe, the uncompromising Radical, and Devinck, the chocolate maker, official candidate. In the third, Emilb 011ivier, once a Republican, but now an advocate of "Liberty under the Empire," is opposed by Bancel, the uncompromising Republican ; in the fourth, Ernest Picard is practically unopposed ; in the fifth, Gamier-Pages. the Liberal who last represented the division, is placed in sore jeopardy by "Raspail the Red ;" in the sixth, M. Gueroult is menaced by Jules Ferry ; iu the seventh, the Republican Jules Favre is opposed by the still more Republican Rochefort ; and in the eighth and ninth, Jules Simon and Eugene Pelletan are virtually unopposed. In nearly every circumscription a G overn ment candidate has been brought forward, but in scarcely one has the official supporter the slightest chance. They have kept back until the last moment, and With reason. None of them are men of mark ; one can neither read nor write! Ycai will soon learn whether hich represents all the intelligence of Frarez., will be content with moderate reforms under the Empire, or will pronounce for revolution. The question is one ,of great importance. Senor Gonzales Bravo, one of Isabella's last supporters, is now in Paris. The Count de Cheste and General Colonge have come with him. This influx of Isabellists is regarded with as much curiosity as anything of foreign news is during this election time. One paper says that the Count de Cheste has had an interview with the Emperor. Another states that a coup d'etat at Madrid is contemplated. The Emperor, it says' is alarmed at the prospects in Spain. Either a Regency or Montpensier is inevitable—for a telegram just announces that the Cortes haS voted the monarchy—and either of these alternatives is distaste. ful to the occupants of the Tuileries. An attempt will, therefore, be made to place the young Archduke Louis of Austria on the Spanish throne. But other journals deny this. It has been repeatedly affirmed that the French Government will not interpose in Spanish affairs; and, moreover, it is not thought probable by some good authorities that the Archduke would accept the throne, especially from the French Emperor. We all know that a crown in Mexico was bestowed by the Emperor on an Austrian prince, and we all know, too, what came of it. A telegraphic despatch frcm St. Etienne states that an explosion of fire-daiep took place last night in the exd- Pits of Monterrad. Fifteen perso: s are said to have perished. The Figar•o tells a particularly neat story of " klepto mania," a malady which has set in with c;ceptional severity in this city. Madame X—, an elegantly, dressed lady, entered a fashionable shop, the other day, and requested to sec some Valenciennes lace, but after some time, not finding any to suit her, withdrew without making any purchase. She Lad, however, becu observed by one cf the shopmen to slip a piece of the goods under her shawl. Nevertheless, she returned home, as it were, unnoticed, but on reaching the door of her house, was accosted by a messenger, who handed her a small parcel, and a letter which was thus worded : " Madame,—l am afraid that the fifteen yards of lace which you selected in my shop will not be sufficient to trim your dress ; I therefore take the liberty of sending' you a second piece of the same pattern. I beg to be informed whether you accept it." The signature was that of the master of the establishment. The lady was very glad to avoid unpleasant consequences by promptly paying for the whole.

Lord Stanley of Alderley is now lying in an en tirely hopeless condition. The Liverpool papers report a case before the magistrates wLich shows that the town has had a narrow escaio from "one of the most serious disasters'.l hich ever visited the world." A charge wasbrcngla, tinder the Liver pool Frevention Act, against a licensed war,houserniin of allowing a fire to Le lighted in the iniedle of a street, within a few yards of iinineLso petroleum stores. The fire was lighted for the purpose of soldering and unsoldering tin cases containing this dsngercus oil, and it was only twelve yards from a warehouse where petrotenin was stored, the door of the warehouse being open at the time, and about a dozen men walking about with soldering arms. In the street in question (Alawdslcy street), and three other streets adjoining, the quantity of petroleum oil and its products stored in the licensed sheds was between 16,000 and 17,000 b rrels, beedes a quantity of cotton. So that if a fire bad broken out it would have been simply inextinguishable, and it is no ex aggeration to say that the whole town was in danger of being destroyed. Thu defendant Laving erred through mere carelessness, and not with criminal intent, the Bench contented themselves with cautioning him to discontinue the Practice solearfully perilous to life and property.

An amend anent, moved by Mr. Cross, for extending the provisiOns of the Act to "any property of which a woman may become possessed of," was lost on a division. MARRIAGE OF THE REV. B. SPEKE. On Wednesday Miss Fuller, eldeA daughter of Mr. John Bird Fuller of Neston-park, Wilts, was married to the Rev. B. Speko, rector of Dowlish Walie, at Neston Onen Church. The sacred edifice was tastefully adorned for the occasion by th) members of the choir. The chancel and communion rails wore wreathed with flowers and evergreens, and under the east window the words (worked in flowers), " My Peace 1 give unto you." The ceremony was performed in the pre sence of about 400 spectators. The bride was given away by her father. She worn a white satin dress, a wreath of orange blossoms, and a honiton lace veil. The bridesmaids were all dressed alike in white tarlatan, trimmed with blue, and bonnets with blue flowers. The bride, who by her works of benevolence and the kindly interest she has ever manifested in the welfare of the villagers, had much endeared herself to the In habitants of Neston, was presented with a handsome silver candelabra by the tenants of the Neston estate, a silver card-case from the teachers and scholars of the Sunday school, and other tokens of respect and regard from the poor of the village. The bridegroom's parishioners and school children presented him with a bronze garden scat and silver desert spoons ; his father's tenants in the parish of Dowlish gave him a silver inkstand, and the servants at Jordan a marqueterie table. In the afternoon the choir and school children were entertained at the Park by Mr. and Mrs. Fuller. FIRES AT SEA. Few catastrophes at sea are more terrible than the destruction of a ship fire, but within the last few days the details of two such disasters have been received. It is only a day or two since the burning of the Australian clipper-ship Blue Jacket off Cape Horn was recorded, and the full particulars have just been furnished by Captain Niemeyer, of the barque Pyrmont, who brought the survivors of the unfortunate Blue Jacket to Cork. Captain Niemeyer fell in with the boat containing the captain, the first officer, seven of the crew, and all the passengers, on the 16th of March, four days after rounding Cape Horn. The boat had been out for seven days, and the unfor- tunate voyagers suffered so ranch from exposure and want that two of them died shortly after being taken on board the Pyrmont. The Blue Jacket was laden with wool, cotton, and a general cargo, with £48,000 in gold. 13,000 was saved. The origin of the fire is not stated ; but it broke out amongst the cotton, and spread so quickly that within a few hours the vessel was enveloped in flames. The crew and pas sengers took to three boats, only one of which has been saved, so far as is at present known. Two officers and thirty-seven men arc missing. —The other disaster is the burning of the Otnar Pasha, which left Moreton Bay (Australia) on the Ist of February. She had on board 64 pas sengers, with a crew of 34 men, and a cargo of wool and other colonial produce. On the 22nd of April, when the Equator was crossed, and the journey's end was only about ten days' distance, a fire was detected in the lower hold. All hands were called to the pumps, and every effort was made to extinguish the flames. An Italian barque, from Palermo to New York, and a Spanish brig kept by to give assistance. A passenger, who gives a very full account of the disaster, describes the gradual progress made by the fire, and the ineffectual efforts to check it. About six hours after the first discovery the women and children were removed to the Italian barque, and soon after the rest of the passengers and crew followed. sappily, from the presence of the foreign ships, there was in this case no risk to life, while the good discipline preserved ou board the burning vessel prevented any confusion or disturbance, and a quantity cf stores and passengers' luggage was saved. NATIONAL SPORTS. The market movem,nts on the Derby are now becom ing of great interest and importance. The betting-lists spew that the three leading candidates are more and more on a par. Pretender keeps the first place, but his position is constantly jeopardised by Pero Gomez, who remains firm at three to one. A report that Pero Gomez ha l been successfully tried caused great sensation on Thursday. It was said that Pero Gomez had beaten Blue Gown by a length ; the rest of the trial nags finishing far away in the rear of the pair. This information caused a furore in favour of Sir Joseph Hawley's represen tative, about whom the first offer of 300 to 100 was instantly accepted, the taker subsequently asking for 3 to 1 to £5OO. The highest offer, after it was obviously seen that Pero Gomez had been successfully tried, was 500 to 200, which odds were offered alike against Pretender. The advance ment of Pero Gomez to equal favouritism with Pretender led to several attempts being made by the latter's partisans to bet even money between the two. An even £l,OOO was offered on the Two Thousand winner against " Pcro," but the supporters of Sir Joseph Hawley's colt refused to take less than 1,000 to 800, which was declined by Pretender's friends, and finally 1,100 to 400 was obtainable about Pero Gomez, The competition between these two rather weakened the position of Belladrum. He was backed to a considerable extent at 4 to 1, but this price was always forthcoming. It is rumoured that Bella drum will be tried before the week is out. The other candidates met with little support, except The Drummer. At first 33 to 1 was obtained, afterwards 3,000 to 100 accepted, and finally 1,000 to 35, and other bets at the last-named rate of odds, booked in his favour. At 33 to 1 a few investments were made on Thorwaldsen, while Duke of Beaufort and Rysh worth were each supported at 50 to 1, a price at which both Rupert and Ethus were friendlesd, an offer to take 1,000 to 15 about the latter not being com plied with. Vagabond was backed at first at 100 to 1, and afterwards at 66 to 1, and with a start 1,000 to 30 was taken and wanted about him. Against the third Kingsclere representative, King Cophe tua, the extreme long shot of 1,000 to 4 was offered. For placesloo to 80 was the highest offer against Belladrum, 6to 4 being asked for. As little as oto 1 was taken about the Drummer, those being the highest odds also offered against the Duke of Beaufort for a situation. Perry Down, Martyrdom, and Ladas were friendless. For the Oaks, Scottish Queen has rather the advantage of Morna. BELLADRU3I SECOND FAVOURITE. Yesterday the aspect of affairs materially changed. 5 to 2 up to half-past two o'clock was bid against Pre- tender, but was not taken freely. Belladrum advanced to the second place, 7 to 2 being the highest offer against biro, though 4to 1 was wanted. Pero Gomez receded to 4 to 1. The representatives of trades unions are to meet in congress, at Birmingham, on the 23d of August. It is ex pected that the proceedings will occupy six days, and that they will be important. Ireland will be represented ; and a paper will be contributed by the Dublin Trades Council on legislation in reference to trades unions. A fatal accident of a peculiarly painful kind took place on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway on Wednes day. When the afternoon fast train from Glasgow was be tween Croy and Castlecary, tho door of one of the carriages Lurst open, and a little girl of five years, who was leaning against it, fell out and was instantly killed. The Irish Protestant Defence Association have determined to send a deputation to London "to wait upon such members of tho House of Lords as they may think desirable, and urge upon them the necessity of rejecting the Irish Church Rill on the second reading." The deputation is to assemble in London on the 29th instant. It will con sist of lay delegates and members of the branch associations through Ireland. Mr. Slam], a chemist, in.
