nally decided on.

THE ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OP A FRENCH GEN-
TLEMAN IN THE CITY.—.M. Hippolyte Linde, wh
attempted to commit suicide at Fiveashe's Hotel, under such determined circumstances, still lies in St. Bartholo-
mew's Hospital in a vary dangerous condition, but some
hopes are entertained of his recovery. The unfortunate
gentleman has conversed freely with Mr. Lawrence, the
surgeon under whose care he is, and he has stated that he
placed a six-barrelled revolver to his left side, with the
in-
tention of piercing his heart. The clicking of the hammer
of the weapon, however, caused the stock to become de-
pressed at each of the three discharges, and the bulletsdcooL-
sequently took an upward direction, and did not produce
the result intended. Three of the barrelsd whlnire sformome
out of order, which circumstance
.
charging all the six balls into himself,
prevented
thought, lodged in the
purpose. One of the balls, ithe reloaded the
discharged barrels with the intention. of carrying out his
upper portion of the left lung.
