M. Rouher, who becomes expansive after dinner,

substance, "The Emperor is ill, though not so

MlL•ficuoix SUICIDES AT PELSTON.--011 Satur-
day two very melancholy suicides were reported in Pme-
ton. The first was that of Mr. Walter Riley, solicitor, is
Chapel-street. During the past few days he had been in
low spirits, owing. it is supposed, to an expected change in
the transaction of the legal business of the county, with
which he was connected, and which would have deprived
him of a considerable portion of his income. About 11
o'clock on Saturday forenoon he went to his office, and
shortly afterwards took a rope from a drawer, and told the
office boy he was going into the back yard for a short time.
As, however, he was absent for a much longer time than
was expected, the office boy and another went and shouted
at the back, but received no answer. Suspecting that
something had happened to Mr. Riley, they went into an
adjoining office and fetched two of the clerks, who went
into the cellar and there found Mr. Riley snapended by •
rope from the ceiling and quite dead. hir. Riley was
about 60 yews of age, was much respected, and until re-
medy was superintendent of a Sunday schootin the town,
a position he bad occupied for many years. The other
case was that of Captain Anderton. of liaighton-hall, near
Preston. Captain Anderton had not been well daring
the past week, and a medical gentleman in Preston had
given instructions that be was to be closely watc

ACCIDENT AT A PARIS CIRCLE. —An alarming
accident occurred • few evenings sores at the Cirque
Napoleon. Two gymnasts, brothers, named Segundo,
were going through their performances at • height of
about 40 feet from the ground, when, in springing simul-
taneously from one trapeze to another, they probably mu-
&ciliated the movement of the bar, and, missing their
grasp, both fell into • net which had been spread ber eath
them for fear of an accident. One of the corners by which
it was extended, howe ear, gave way, and let them come
heavily to the ground, but the fallhad been greatly broken,
and the consequences were less serious than would other-
wise have been the mum One of the men was carried off, but
subsequently came forward to show that they were not
hurt. One of them had, however, to be supported, but
the other was able to walk alone. Next evening the as
of the two young men was satisfactory ; one was
up and walking about, the other was still in bed, but not
considered in any danger.
