ASSACLT OF ARMS BY RIrLE VOIUNTEER.4.
Lest night, the 37th Middlesex Rifle Volunteer, with
their Mends and patron., of whom not • few were ladies
in evening toilets, mustered in great force at the hall in
Store-street, Bloomsbury, to witness an assault of arum on
the part of some of the picked members of the corps.
There were repeated struggles for mastery with bayonet,
sabre, foil, and rapier, and while almost breathless silence
prevailed when the skill of the fencers appeared to be
equally balanced, no opportunity seemed to be missed by
the more initiated, and of course more critical portion of
the spectators for rewarding successful thrusts or dexterous
parries with • ringing shout of approval.

St MME FROM BLACRFRIARS-BRIDC C.—A deter-
mined suicide was committed yesterday by a young man
passing over the temporary bridge at Elackfriars. Ile was
seen walkintirie company with another young man, and
as he had a medicine bottle in his hand it is believed
that he was going to a hospital. He soddenly handed the
bottle to his companion, saying "Hold this for me" and
then jumping on the wooden parapet he threw himself
over into the river, crying out • Good bye" as he went.
In his descent he struck some of the supports of the
bridge, and he was evidently rendered insensible by the
shock for he fell apparently lifeless into the river and
sank immediately. Several boots were at once put off to
Lis rescue, but the body was carried away by the tide and
could not be recovered. Tho suicide took place at half.
past 1 o'clock.
