On Tuesday morning the public was
starlled,by statement that the previous
evening NJ. Teste had attempted 10 COM
nit suicide. The following is from the
National !:
aBetween eight and nine o'clock last
evening an explosion was heardin one OF
the chambers.in the prison of the Luxem:
bourg. occupied by The accused parties in
the affair Of the Gounhenans mines. The
attendants rushed in, and it was found
that M. 'reste had attempted TO commit
suicide.5;He had placed pisto! in his
mouth and pulled the trigger, but the
pistol missed fire. He then placed a second
pistol close TO his heart and fired, but he
had pressed the weapon with such force
against the part that the ball did not enter
and fell to the ground. No wound was
inflicted ,and the only trace ofthe explosion
was a black mark from The powder IN the
flannel waislcoal and the skim. 1t was
remarked that The discharge from the
second pistol produced a severe confusion
and violent swelling; and it was with
great difficulty NJ. Teste could be induced
10 submit 10 have the confusion dressed.
.''This account" writes our correspon.
dent, sis uhhappily true;" but what adds
to the horror Of the circumstance is, that
Mr.. Teste's son is suspected of having
supplied his father with the pistols: The
CONFUSION was dressed, and keeper placed
over the unfortunate man.
