SUICIDE OF PRINCE GREGORY GHIKA.

The Courrier de Paris contlains details in
'reference to the suicide of Prince Gregory Ghika,
ex-liospcdar of Moldavia, from which it would
aPPear that he committed the rash act under the
influence of wounded feelings, at being charged
With embezzlement and forgery. The following
documents were found in his room :

Chateau of Mee, Aug. 24, 1857.

I am the victim of an abominable plat, and cannot live,
innocent though I be. The truth will one day appear. I
await my enemies before the tribunal of God.
(Signed) G. GIIIKA.
Chateau of Mee, Aug. 24, 1857.
nearlY beloved wife, whom I adore—kiss nay little
angels for me. You know what I have suffered during
my reign ; and even when 1 thought to live happily in the
bosom of my family, my enemies followed me, and would
not let me have peace. The monsters would make me a
forger and dishonourable ! God will some day unravel
the vile plot, and the wretches will be unmasked.
(Signed) G. GIIIKA.

These documents, which are written in a clear
and firm hand, on the same sheet of paper, evince
great presence of mind and calmness on the part
of the prince.

Le Nord publishes a despatch from Constantinople,
announcing that a caravan 0f,500 persons and 1,300 horses
which had started from DAMRSCUg to Bagdad had perished
in the desert with the exec 'ion of about thirty persons.
TIM PRINCE CONSORT.—The Morning Star has a story
to the effect that Prince Albert was ambitious of the title
itßing Consort and that he consented to the title of
01;.""e Consort upon the understanding that, if no serious
title to it by Parliament or oat of doors, the higher
of;
roefaßsoinnagbCleopnesorirotds.hould ba granted at the expiration
It"" Peg INDIA..—The news of the revolt reached
London June 27th. In July we despatched about 9,000
troops, In Augast upwards of 15,000, and in ships of
rter size and swiftness than before. In the 29 vessels
Jlch was despatched in July there was only one steamer.
the 23 which followed in August there were 17.
-siTHE PARADISE OF MOEQUITOES.—In the ever glades of
't)rida maigaitoes are frightfully abundant, At Fort
Dallas they are so plentiful that both officers and men rave ;
tehereitgr; is provided
on duty pass their whcle time under bars. The
provided a mosquito veil, or rather bag,
tlitown over the head, and kept out from the face by a hoop;
woollen clothes, boas and gauntleted gloves protect the
limbs and body from the murderous attacks.
THE LATE MURDER IN LINCOLN.—Mrs. Wooltit, the
unfortunate woman who murdered her infant with a
,eork-cettter's knife, a little more than a week ago, has since
her incarceration been in a sate of abject m'sery- The
poor creature has never been left alone either by night or
!'y day, and although she is perfectly rational and s Is she.
Is aware of her awful positio", she nevertheless asserts
that she shall be teals, to sacrifice her life upon the
seaff,M, for then she shall be with her ch 11."
Itu:sha AND INDIA.—" Yes, we have said, and we now
repeat, that we wish for the preservation of British power
in India, not—we frankly admit—for the exclusive interest
of England, bat because the, Anglo-Saxon race is best
calculated to spr ad over the w rll, and particularly in ur-
v?ltivated countries, those seeds of civilisation, .those prin
eipl of order and progress which constitutes its strength
anr",,g,lory. And i-, is because we are profoundly convinced
this Ulath that we have.soight, in the measure of our
strength, to cent bute by our ideas and information to
the work of radical reform, which is Se'a'ted from England
by a portion of the globe. It is not the cause of England
that we serve, but that of humanity and civil sation.
Should our Indian letters have no other result than that of
awakening the attention of the English journals to the
reform of the Indian adminiitra'ion, we shall not regret the
expense they cause us."—.Le Nord.
CONVICTION OP A YOUNG GENTLEMAN FOR STABBING
A House.—At the Greenwich Police-court, Igmont
Larpent, son of Baron de Hockepied Larpent, Mayor of
Cinque Ports, Thver, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Train, charged with cruelly ill-treating a horse by stabbing
it with a knife. Wiltiam Phillips, a smi'h, of Inverness-
place, Plumatrad, said, that about' a quarter past eight
! "clock on Saturday evening last, his attention was directed
to the prissner, who was riding a horse oa Blackheath.
Ile observed him jobbing at the horse with a knife which
be held in his hand, and saw the blood flowing from five
different places on the rigs, neck, and shouliers of the
animal.t He caused bill to dismount, when the horse was
delivered to tie owner. Mr. Trail remarked that if it had
been a poor donkey, man who had been brought before him,
under similar circumstances, he should be bound to
,convict, and as, in his judicial capacity, he was no
respecter of persons, so, alas, must he convict in this case.
His prder was that the prisoner should be sent to
-Maidstone gaol for 14 days. The prisoner was then
removed to the cell to await the prison van.
