ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF A FRENCH ADVOCATE.--
On Saturday evening a gentleman, about thirty-two
years of age, of fair complexion, and from his accent
apparently a Frenchman, went into the King's Arms
Inn, London-road, Kingston, and engaging a private
room, partook of supper, a half pint of wine, &e., and
retired to rest early, stating that he should have occa•
sisn for a handsome job carriage to convey himself
and a gentleman, who was to meet him at that house,
to Richmond. On the following (Sunday) morning
the servant was surprised, a little after six o'clock,
at hearing the bell of No. 7, the room occupied by
the French gentleman, ring violently. She knocked
at the door, and a faint voice said, " Come in." She
entered and was horror-struck at finding the upper part
of the bed deluged with blood. The gentleman cried out,
"Me have killed myself." The affrighted girl alarmed
the house, and the landlord and others, together with
the police, were soon in the room. From the quantity of
blood that had flowed, it was at first conjectured that the
wretched man had cut his throat, but this wall not the
case ; he had inflicted five or six severe wounds on his
right temple. No time was lost in sending for Dr. Sud-
low Roots, who speedily attended'. In the course of the
afternoon the unfortunate gentleman gave his name as
Theophile Lecarde, and stated that ho resided at 31,
Georgentreet, Portman-square, and was an advocate,
but had, since his arrival in this country, which hadonly
been a few months, been editing a French publication,
and could get no money. Dr. Roots having stated
that he might be removed to the infirmary of the
prison, he was accordingly taken there in a chair, there
to remain until he is in a proper condition to undergo
examination.
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, Fitt:wt.—Our sup-
plies of grain continue good. The wheat trade is not
active, but last week's prices are firmly maintained for
all descriptions. Barley of fine quality is fully as dear.
Beans are without alteration. Oats are id. per stone,
and shelling 6d. per load lower.
OPENING OF THE NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAIL-
WAY FROM NORTON BRIDGE TO STOKE.—The directors
of the North Staffordshire Railway have decided upon
opening the line from Stoke to Norton Bridge, on Mon-
day, the 3d April, for goods traffic, and on Monday, the
1 17th, for the conveyance of passengers.—Staffordshire

IDEAS FOR F TIME REALIZATION.—There is in-
deed no reason why the earth should not supply us with
water hot as well as cold, any more perhaps, than why
mechanical attrition or compressed air should not keep
us warm, the electric fluid light our streets and houses,
convey our messages, set our clocks going, and possibly,
also, perform some of our hard work.—. Builder.
