UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Elizabeth Garrett, a well-dressed female, was charged
before Mr. Traill with an intent to commit suicide, by throw-
ing herself off the parapet of Waterloo-bridge.
Mr. Wooden, of Francis-place, said he was passing over
Waterloo-bridge about ten o'clock last night, when his at-
tention was attracted by the extraordinary conduct of the
prisoner, who took off her shoes, and commenced singing,
dancing, and making a great noise, which induced him to
think that she was drunk. Suddenly, however, the prisoner
burst out into a violent fit of crying, and immediately jumped
on the parapet of the bridge, and was in the act of throwing
herself off, when witness and his friend ran to her assistance,
and was just in time to save her from jumping into the river.
In answer to some questions put to her, the prisoner said
" she was tired of her life ; a villain had deceived her, and
she would see if there were not better inhabitants in the un-
known world." A policeman was sent for, and the prisoner
given into custody.
The prisoner gave no explanation of her conduct to Mr.
TRAILL, the Magistrate, who ordered her to find bail for
her good conduct in the sum of 201. for three months.
The prisoner was locked up in default.

BRUSSELS, JULY 30.—A letter from Verviers of
the 29th July, says, yesterday about two o'clock in the
morning M. Louis Gouvy's manufactory of cotton-yarn at
Et Vaux was reduced to ashes. The fire broke out in the
ground floor, and in two hours the whole establishment was
destroyed, only some bales of cotton were saved. The
building and its coatents were insured. The loss is estimated
at 100,000 francs. We regret to add, that two workmen,
brothers, who lived in the manufactory perished in the
flames.,—The papers contain long articles on the differences
with Prussia, in consequence of the heavy duty imposed on
Belgium, now in the territory of the States of the Customs
Union.—lt seems that the English swindler who pretended
to be a banker, embarked at Ostend on board a steamer for
London, six hours before the police officers arrived there to
arrest him.

THE LATE ATTEMPT AT MURDER AND SUICIDE
ON WANDSWORTH-COMMON.—Upon inquiry at the Wands-
worth and Clapham union yesterday, the reporter ascer-
tained that Amelia Alfred, the young woman who, on
' Monday evening last, made so determined an attempt to
destroy herself and two children by plunging into a deep
pond on Wandsworth-common, still lies in the infirmary in
a very precarious state. It is a rather singular circum-
stance, that the. man French, with whom Alfred had co-
habited, went on Wednesday morning to the union to visit
his father, who is inmate of the house. At that time, he
was wholly unacquainted with what had occurred, but when
he heard the facts, he hurriedly left the house, and has not
been seen in the neighbourhood since.
SALg or WD§T INDIA FINI Arll4o AND LIU
TURTLE.—Yesterday at two o'clock a public sale took plac4,
by Mr. Keeling, at No. 9, Pudding lane, of about 5,000 b).rd's

dence, with 150 tins of undressed turtle, froth Hotidutas, The

.2,000, were sold at prices
varying from 3s. to 7s. each, and the second and third class

realised about 600/. The live turtle was knocked down at

lb. The sale•room was crowded, and among the purchasers
were several large fruiterers, tavern-keepers, &c.
DISTRESSING SUICIDE.—An inquest was held yes-
terday afternoon, at the Queen's Head Inn, Brompton, be-
fore John Linde, Esq., Coroner, on the body of Mrs. Ann
Coniston, who had destroyed herself on Tuesday morning
by throwing herself into a well. It appeared that the de-
ceased arrived at her sister's residence in Garden-street,
Brompton, on Sunday last, from_ Limehouse, at which place
the deceased's husband resides, and who is a blacksmith.
The deceased appeared to be in great distress of mind,
caused by her husband's ill-treatment, and she told her
sister, Mrs. Cannard, that she was obliged to leave her
husband, for she could not remain with him any longer ;
that he did not know where she was, as she left him lying
on the bed in a state of intoxication. On Monday, during
the, whole day, the deceased was exceedingly melancholy, and
on Tuesday morning, being missed, search was made, and
she was found to have thrown herself down a well on the
premises, which was 140 feet deep. The body was got out
by the assistance of some men of the Royal Engineers, kindly
sent for the purpose by Sir Frederick Smith, the colonel. She
WWI quite dead. Yersfict.-" Temporary imanit3'."
