SUICIDE EY A BUTLER.—Yesterday Dr. Lan-
kester held an inquest on the body of William
Richards, aged 30, butler to Valentine Knight. Esq., a
Middlesex magistrate, who hung himself in his pantry, 3,
Cornwall. terrace, Regent's-park. The deceased had only
been a few months in Mr. Knight's service, and on that
gentleman coming home on Monday night he sent him to
bed. On the following morning, on the cook coming down,
a piece of paper was hanging on the pantry door, with the
following words, badly spelt : "You better get a policeman
to cut me down as you will find me dead inside." A. police-
man was sent for. The door was locked, and the deceased
was found hanging, and in one of his bands a 141 b weight.
Several letters were found. In one he thanked Mr. Knight
for his kindness, and enclosed £lO, part of which he wished
to be given to the Christian Young Men's Society, and
part to the poor at Brighton. It appears that some time
ago he had committed a robbery at Brighton, and had three
months' imprisonment, which circumstance had prayed on
his mind. He got into the service of a lady named Bigg,
and afterwards went to Mr. Knight. In one of his letters
he said smoking had been his ruin, but latterly he had rot
indulged in it. 'His brother said he was always eccentric,
and committed the robbery to see how cleverly he could do
it. He was of weak intellect. The coroner said he never
recollected a person holding a heavy weight in his hand
when he committed suicide. Verdict, " Temp' rary in-
sanity."

THE ARAB CAVALRY AT PARIS,--Llst Thursday
the Emperor reviewed, in the Bois de Boulogne,
a detachment of Turcos, and the small troop of the Spahis
or Arab cavalry lately arrived in Paris. The latter were
to have performed a fantasia after the manner of their
own country, but an accident which caused the overthrow of
two horsemen, one a Spahi and the other s'mply a looker-on,
and in which both horse and man were wnunded,created such
confusion around the spot where the Emperor and Empress
were standing that the review was cut short, and con • isted of
little more than a simple defile. The rapidity and ease with
which these Arab horsemen launch their fiery horses into full
gallop, turn them suddenly round, and come to a dead stop,
was tho astonishment and admiration of all who looked on.
They are a fine, swarthy, but fierce-looking body of men,
whom one could easy fancy swooping down on their prey in
their own wild country passes, but who looked thoroughly
out of place and in strange contrast to everything around
them in the trim and artificial avenues of the Champs
Elysees. On Sunday they seemed greatly to enjoy the
scene on the race course, and between the races amused
themselves and the spectators by performing several evolu-
tions, galloping up and down in a sort of amateur fantasia '
style ; their gaudy-coloured garments, flowing cloaks, and
turbaned head being a striking contrast to the tight figures
and jockey caps of the real actors in that day's sport,—the
Queen.

ATTEMPTED MURDER IN MANCHESTER.—Yes
terday morning a painful case came before the
magistrates at the City police-court, Manchester. Harriet
Fawcett, the wife of Robert Fawcett, a saddler, living in
Ashton Old-road, was charged with having attempted to
murder her husband. Prosecutor stated that at 11 o'clock
on the previous night he and his wife went to bed. She rose
about half-past five, and he heard her making a noise in the
kitchen. She came up afterwards into the room, and asked
him if he was going to get up. He said "No." He dozed
again, and he was awakened by a sensation of pricking in
his neck. He saw his wife standing at the bedside with
a kaite in her hand, which she was thrusting into his
throat. He seized her hand, and strugged to get posses-
sion of the knife. She got into the street during the
struggle
she ran .
, but he eventually took the knife from her, and

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's

The Stock Exchange was shut to-day, in order to
commemorate the Queen's birthday, by a resolution
of the Committee.

In the general money market there is a good
demand for discount accommodation, and the lowest
rate at which even first class three months bills can
be negotiated is 4 per cent. This sustained inquiry
is no doubt produced by the active revenue collec-
tions which are now in progress, and the disposition
evinced by manufacturers to Extend their operations.
The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday
comprised the influx of 110,000 in bar gold.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to 1949,600, and the exports to £464,200.
