for any political question whatever, will go for
no other object than "to see the row." Thus
if we should hear of the thousands who en- '
deavoured to hold a Reform meeting in Hyde
Park, and were not permitted, it would be
wise to discount a very large percentage of
mere hangers-on and spectators drawn forth
by curiosity. The Lord Mayor, to compen-
sate the Reformers as far as he can, and create
a diversion, has not only given the use of the
Guildhall for the city meeting, but consented
to preside himself. Why doesn't Lord Stan-
ley or some one go and do likewise, and hear
'all they have got to say and have done with
it?

Aermerrao SUICIDIL—A foolish fellow attempted
to commit suicide in Ford isgton, yesterday sem:light,
and nearly soomeded. Daniel Bishop, a man in the
employ of Mr. T. Bennett, having been sore vexed
with the angry bitter tongue of his wife, went out
into the yard, and hanged himself by the neck with
▪ piece of romp to the eaves of a waggon standing
there. One of his children—a little girl—happened
to go out, and saw him suspended. She ran and told
her mother, who went and out hint down. His facie
was at the time discoloured, and had his hanging
(tonnage' but • short time longer, be would have
been dead. But be was yet in • passion, and reckless
for his life. He upbraided his wife, and t..ld her it
vraa owlet's to cut him down, as he would "do it
again" before the morning. The police were infirm.
ed, and a doctor sent for. In the aheence of Dr.
Aldridge, his ineistant, Mr. Mame, visited the man,
who bad been put to bed. He was ordered to be
kept quiet, and to have • person stay up with him
through the eight, and medicine woi administered.
On Tuesday morning P.S. Cousins went to the home
with Dr. Aldridge, and tbe man was questioned as
to the mules that led him to commit the rash act.
He said that he bad a fluttering in his head, his eight
went, and he did not know what be was about. It
appeared that bin state if health was bad, and inch
as to miloount to a Measure for his coonduct. Dr.
Aldridge spoke to him of the sinfulness of attempt.

again. I,ader all the cirootustanoes we understand
that it inset intended to eharge him with the aroma

and ladies formed the thief proportion of those

The Rev. C. J. Glynn after commenting no several
gratifying item. in the report, alluded to the opera-
tions of the society in France, in which country he
believed the society spent £6,000 in eireabiting the
scriptures. God had raised tip in that urinary a
[noon useful body of men, who circulated no Ism than
h 5,000 copies of portions of God's word last year.
The society was also establishing depots for the sale
of bibles and testaments at Paris, Bordeaux and
oilier principal towns. In that commenced at Parts
by placing in the windows editions in various lan-
guages much interest bad been axolotl The books
were ansiounced to be sold at cost prios and without
profit, and *hen it was inquired how this was done,
the answer given by the voluntary cookibutire of
the English people excited much surprise, and had
been the means of causing many formerly infidels to
become Chrietiaria Several pleasing anecdotes of
good done by these depots were related by the
speaker. Tbe same plan of exposing in the windows
bible, in the various languages is to be adopted at
the society's new house in London. At the present
tams increased facilities for the circulation of the
bible were given by the government. The French
Emperor was also in favour of tire circulation of the
ecripturta, and was a good friend to many Protestant
iniesionaries. The interest taken in the British and
Foreign Bills society by the Americans wee 'hewn
by their presenting to the society a complete and
beautiful fount of Arabic type of the sacred scriptures.
The vale° of the bible as sheen in the experience of
individuals was then forcibly drawn by the rev.
gentleman. who also stated that when the war in
Germany and Italy broke out the Bible Society sent
to their ageeta in Berlin, Vienna. and Florence a
request that they atioeld seed to the armies • large
WINN of bible and seetaseeete. They all knew how
such books were prized by the wouuded and dying
soldiers in the Crimea, and he had no doubt a greet
blessing would follow this further instance of the
deep interest taken by the moiety to give the word
of life to the soldier in the day of battle.—C. Swallow

A few evenings after, the Grand Duke and his suite
