SUICIDE AT WATERLOO•BRIDGE.—This morning, about
two o'clock, a man respectably dressed, after paying his
money to the collector Kirk, hastened into one of the
recesses and plunged into the water. Constable F 137
hailed the Thames police, who in a few seconds put off
from their ship, but were unable to recover the body,
which had not been found at three o'clock this morning.
SCARCITY OF SEAMEN IN THE UNITED STATES.—The
Navy Department finds great diffictiloy in procuring sail-
ors to man the public vessels. The Government is violat-
ing its contract with every one who enlists in the naval
service by refusing to discharge them at the expiration of
their respective terms of enlistment. Such is now the
condition of most of the seamen on American vessels
at foreign stations. The excuse given by the
department for refusing to discharge them is that men
cannot be procured for the relief ships. However wil-
ling Jack maybe to serve his country he wishes that
service to be voluntary, and when men at home see this
violation of faith on the part of the Government towards
those in service, they will, of course, decline enlistment.
Such confusion as now exists is the navy is without
precedent.—New York _Herald.
MR ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF EARL SOMERS
BY HIS VALET.—The following appears in the Worcester
Herald :—"lt was currently reported on Tuesday
morning last, in Ledbury and the neighbourhood of
Eastnor, that an attempt had been made on the life of
Earl Somers by his valet and butler, Valentine de Mat-
trie, on the previous evening. De Matrie is a native of
Switzerland, and has been fifteen or sixteen years in the
service of the noble earl. Nothing has transpired that
can be depended upon as to the cause of the outrage,
but it is said that Earl Somers arrived at Eastnor
Castle last Monda' evening, and, from some cause
or other, refused to see De Matrie after his arrival.
The man, however, managed to get access to the
Earl's room almost directly, and shut the door, when
an alienation was overheard which induced the servants,
who were carrying up the luggage, to enter the room.
De Matrie was ejected from the room, and a game-
keeper was ordered to see him off the premises- When
leaving, he was violent in his language, and said he
would be revenged before he left the neighbourhood.
Superintendent Shead, of Ledbury, was sent for, and
remained at the Castle till the following morning, when
having occasion to go a journey, another constab'e took
his place and remains there. De Matrie is still in the
neighbourhood. A. medical gentleman was sent for to
the castle on the night when this affair occurred, but for
what purpose has not transpired. The ex-valet and
butler, de Matrie, has been married some years to the
daughter of a late gamekeeper on the Somers' domain."
REBECCA. IN LONDON.—Last night, about 8 o'clock, a
disturbance took place at Newington, which at first, it
was feared, would lead to serious results. It appears that
some weeks since a gentleman named Foritz, the ground
landlord of extensive property in Newington-road and
Doddington-trove, erected two walls, one at the end of
New-street, Newington-road, near one of the entrances
t i the Royal Surrey Gardens, which prevented access to
it through New-street, and another running across a field
from Swill-street, Royal-road, and Doddington-grove,
the effect of which was to deprive the occupiers of the
large and populous district of St. Paul of their easy
access to Newington-road. Last week Capt. Foritz had
erected a substantial bar, posts, and rails, at the end of the
Royal-road, near Kennington-park, the effect of which
was that the inhabitants, to get to Newington, Ken-
nington, or any place in that direction, had to go a con-
siderable distance round by the Walworth-road and the
Elephant and Castle, or round by the new Camberwell-
road to Kennington-gate. As might be expected, the
inhabitants felt much aggrieved at being deprived of their
accustomed easy access to their residences from the New-
ington-road, by the conduct of the ground landlord, who
defends his ac-s on the ground that the roadways in
question are private property. The consequence has been
that:or several nights pace large numbers of persons have
congregated in the Royal-road and asserted their assume
rights by forcing a pass -;e and obtaining a thorough.
fare over what, it was stated, had been used as a
public thoroughfare for upwards of 70 years, and the
damage done at night to the fence has been repaired with
alacrity the following morning, evincing a spirit of de- ,
termination on both sides. Last night a numerous
assemblage of persons again congregated in the Royal-
road, and completely demolished the bar, posts, and rail-
ings, with which they made a bonfire, and after that they
proceeded to New-street and Doddington-grove, and
ievelled the walls with the ground. After completing
their work of demolition the crowd quietly dispersed.
MYSTERIOUS CASE OF DROWNING.—GLASGOW, Sua-
day.—A. case of drowning occurred in the harbour this
morning of a very distressing character. Between twelve
and one o'clock, while it was moonlight, two harbour
oolice-constables, named George Cunningham and John
R use, accompanied by David Cunningham, an engineer,
he brother id the former, pushed off in a ferry-boat from
the steps veer the middle of the harbour, for the pur-
pose, of ascertaining the names of three or four vessels
which were lying in the stream, and which had contra-
vened the harbour regulations, by not exhibiting a light,
and by not closing their hatches. A few minutes after-
wards the sergeant and officer at the Liverpool-shed
heard a shriek and a voice exolaiming—" Three of us in
the water 1" and then all was still. The two officers
immediately took a small boat and rowed in the direction
whence the voice had come. They found the ferry-boat
drifting past the stern of the schooner Ballot, of Belfast,
but no sign of the three men who had so recently been
in her. Drags were procured, and in a short period the
bodies of the three men named above were found close
to the vessel and so little apart as almost to touch each
other. Life was quite extinct. How three vigorous
men, all perfectly sober, could fall out of a large
boat licensed to carry 24 persons is quite mysterious.
Patrick Blaney, the master of the schooner Ballot, was
called up, and he stated that some time before, while
in
bed, he felt something strikieg against the bow of his
vessel, which was light or unloaded, upon which he came
upon deck with his mate, and, looking over the side,
they saw two or three men struggling in the water.
They threw over two ropes, but the men did not catch
them, and sunk, upon which, as they themselves state,
they went to bed again without giving the alarm or
thinking any more of the matter. Such are all the par-
ticulars which have been learned regarding this distress-
ing and extraordinary case. Whether the
men had been
repulsed in trying to board the vessel (which, by the
way, they had no occasion to do), and fallen into the
water, or whether one of them had fallen in in fending
off from the schooner, and the other two bad perished in
the attempt to save him, is mere matter of conjecture.
The Procurator-Filial hail instituted a lurching inquiry

into the cue.
