ANOTHER ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN THE RIVER THAMES.
SaraA a married woman, was charged with
attempting to drown herself in the river.
Mr. Henry Kelley, the ex-champion of the Thames, stated
that about six o'clock last evening he was standing at his
hack door, adjoining the river at Putney, when he beard
screams proceedingi from the water. He looked and saw some
person floating down the river. He immediately ran down
and pulled the prisoner out of the water. She came to after
a little time, and recognising her, be took her home.
Mr. Ingham (to the prisoner)—What have you to say to
this'

Prisoner—l attempted to jump into the river.
One of the officers of the court said the mother and the
prisoner's husband were present.
Mr. Ingham inquired what they had to say
The mother said the prisoner had been in a very nervous
excited state.

Mr. Ingham said he should remand her for a week to
consider what to do with her.

The mother asked his wonhip to Moue the prisoner, and
she would not do it again, but he refused to comply with
the request.
The prisoner, who had a very narrow escape from drown-
ing, was then locked np.

SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—(TuIR DAY.)—
A serious accident took place this morning a little after
8 o'clock on the Greet Eastern Railway, by which consider-
able damage has been inflicted on the permanent way and
rolling stock ; but, as on all such occasions, it is impossible
to ascertain from the officials the amount of injury. The
train which leaves Hertford at 8 a.m., and is due at Shore-
ditch at 9.30 a.m., had scarcely get upon the main line
when the engine left the rails, carrying with it the
tender and several of the carriages. The extent of
the injury done to the line may be estimated from
the fact that all the up-traffic has been inteirupted for •
long time. To prevent any collision between the disabled
train and the express train from Norwich, which was due
in about half an hour or twenty minutes, men were sent
forward with danger signals, at the sight of which the
driver of the express promptly brought his train to • stand-
still.

COLLECTIONS AT H ACHNEY. —Liberal subseri&
M ons are being made in Hackney in aid of the lADou
Relief Food. At the Unitarian church the sum of
4:91. 17s. has been collected after sermons preached by the
Revs. J. Martineau and It. B. Asplaod.
OWNERs OP COTTAGE PROPERTY IN THE NORTH.—
A deputation from the owners of cottage property in Black-
burn waited on the Blackburn guardians on Saturday, with
a memorial in favour of obtaining a loan of 50,600/. from
the consolidated fund. The deputation and the memorial
showed that the owners of cottage property were heavily
pressed in this crisis, and unable to pay the rates ; they
therefore wished the guardians to join with the other local
authorities in obtaining a loan. The chairman of the board
intimated that the guardians would give them time to pay
the rates, if that was all they desired ; they could not grant
them exemption, however ; and with this communication
the interview closed.

A CAME OPTR IM. CON. AT LI V ERPOOL. —The
lovers of gossip in • certain suburban locality in the vici-
nity of this town whete the elegant mansions of our wealthy
"merchant princes" peer above the rich foliage
of a gentle slope to the banks of the Mersey,
have during the last few weeks bad ample material
for tattle in • case which will soon occupy the atten-
tion of the Divorce Court. It appears, from what
rumour says, that a gentleman highly connected blur
for yeah been married to an accomplished and beautiful
woman from the ranks of our merchant princes, but no issue
has been the result of their union. Within the last few
months, however, there appeared every evident* that the
lady would not long remain childless. The hushaud =s-
pading from some canoe that all was not right, made in-
quiries as to what persons had been visitors during hie
*Nene., and was told that no other than • beer relative
ever saw the mistress during the period be was from home.
Feeling, however, still uneasy in mind, he resolved to teat
his wife's fidelity, and accordingly took a house in a not
very remote watering-place. In a few days after they bed
arrived at this quiet resort for the wealthy, the husband
received a letter upon urgent business which required that
he should be horn boom for several days. Every prepara-
tion was made for his immediate departure, sod the "truth-
ful, loving wife" was foremost in attending to the
requirements of the journey. The departure bad all the
appearance of fact about it ; but one of the servants was
placed in possession of the secret that this was • ruse to test
the accuracy of certain suspicions. During the day upon
which the gentleman had undertaken his supposed Journey
the lady despatched a missive to a person in Liverpool, who.
it is said, is her cousin. Under the "shades of evening"
the husband entered the house while hie wife and her
near relative were in the drawing-rooor. By the aid
of his servant the husband reached his bedroom unknown to
anyone else, and at once secreted himself under the bed.
At the usual hour of retiring to rest the servants were told
that they were not again required that night, and that she
(the mistress) would "let out" Mr. —. About midnight,
the two participators in crime entered the bedroom, and
the husband emerged from his hidiog-place when they
had retired together. He at once moused the do-
mestics, proved to them his wife's infidelity, and turned her
sod her relation out of doors. These are • few of the par-
ticulars of what will form • ease for divorce before Sir
Cresswell Cresswell in • few weeks. Both parties are said
to be highly connected, and no doubt when the matter is
brought before the Divorce Court it will create • great
sensation in this town and neighbourhood.--Liverpool
Mercury.

A STEEL MERCHANT SHIP.—MERSEIL Jones, Quig-
gen, and Co.. of this town, have just contracted to build of
steel, for a Liverpool house, a vessel of 1,2C3 toes, This
will be the first merchant vessel built of that material. The
plates will be manufactured at the Mersey Steel and Iron
'Works. We believe that experiments on Messrs. JOINS'S
aogular target are about to be resumed at Shoeburynee,
when the Whitworth gun will be employed to test its
stability. The target will be the same weight per foot as
the Northumberland target, which was so mutilated by the
Whitworth shell—Lirerpool Albion.

CAPL MAIM —The Union Steamship Company's
Cape Royal Mail steamer Norman, Captain R. B. Davis,
embarked the usual monthly mails for the Cape, Xecensiou,
and St. Helena, at Plymouth, on Saturday, whence she was
despatched in the afternoon by the company's agent there
H. J. Waring, Fag., for her destination. She was obliged,,
however, to return to take shelter for the night under the
lee of the breakwater in Plymouth Sound through the
heavy south-west gale and tremendous sea that was prevail-
ing in the Channel. Yesterday, the weather being much
abated, she proceeded on her voyage. Her mails consist of
16 bags of letters, 100 bags of papers, and 12 begs of books.
She takes out, also, despatches for the governors of the
above colonies, 40 passengers, and a foil general cargo.
A strange aluianack has just been published at
Rome, at the office of the Osserratore Romano, under the
title of the " Benefactors of Humanity." Those excellent
persons, the portraits of whom are given, are Pitt' IL,
Cardinal Antonelli, Francis 11., the Duke of Modena, the
Duke of Parma, sod the directors of the clerical journals
the Armenia and the Coneenporaneo.

A decision has just been come to by the director-
general of the French post-office abolishing the privilege
hitherto enjoyed by provincial scientific associations of ex-
changing their publications postage free. A society at Cam-
bray, which had forwarded 78 copies of its last publication
under the envelope of the Ministry of Public Instruction,
has been called on to pay 144 fr. for their postage as unpaid
letters.

The Al!genuine Zcitung states that the recent
nomination of M. von Eichmann as envoy-extraordinary and
fully-accredited minister of the King of Prussia to the
court of Rio Janeiro has no other object than to ask the
hand of the heir to the Brazilian throne—the Princess Isa-
bella, daughter of Dom Pedro 11., now 16 years of age—for
a son of Prince Hobenzollern-Sigmaringen. Some time since
it was thought that the Duke of Chartres, grandson of
Louis Philippe, would be a suitor for the hand of the prin-
cess, but his taking part in the campaign against the South-
ern states of North America destroyed his influence with
the rich planters and alaveholdees of Brazil

On Saturday, the unfortunate shareholders or
subscribers to the " classes " in connexion with the City
Bank of Mr. Jonah Andrew, held a meeting at Manchester
to deliberate on their position. The meeting was numer-
ously attended, and, as might be expected, the revelations
by the depositors were most pitiable. It is reported that
the feeling of the meeting was in favour of quietly winding
up the affairs of the " classes."

It has been remarked that the three first subjects
in the realm have been fellows and tutors of colleges at
Oxford. The Archbishop of Canterbury was student and
tutor of Christ Church ; the Lord Chancellor, fellow and
tutor of Wadham College ; the Archbishop of York, fellow
and tutor, and afterwards Provost, of Queen's College.
CABINET COUNCIL—On Friday summonses were
issued from the Foreign-office, appointing a Cabinet
Council to meet to-morrow (Monday), at Lord Palmerston's
residence in Downing-street. Mr. Milner Gibson is ex.
prided to travel from his country seat, Theberton-house,
Suffolk, in order to attend the meeting. Mr. Gladstone is
expected to arrive from Hawarden Castle, and the Duke
of Newcastle from his seat, Clumber-park. Lord Palmer.
stou remains in town. Sir George Grey returned to Lon-
don on Friday, from Windsor Castle. Lord Granville is
expected to arrive in town on Monday. Other members
of the Cabinet, now absent, are also expected to return
to London, for the purpose of being present at the council.
