BRITISH. MAGAZINE. Ritington, London, li4o. This Number, which is chiefly taken up with religious and clerical subjects, contains a biographical account of Photius, one of the early patriarchs of Constantinople ; and a curious article, entitled " Antichrist in the Thirteenth Century." It gives, in addition, a register of the religious and ecclesiastical information of the month.  POOR JACK, No. 6. Longman, London, 1840. Captain Marryat's naval tale of • Poor Jack" continues to rise in interest, though (so far as it has yet proceeded) we cannot take upon ourselves to say that it is by any means equal to his " Peter Simple." The illustrations by Stanfield, three of which are appended to each number, display considerable skill of execution.  ANATOMY OF SUICIDE, Renshaw, London. I S4O. The object of this work, observes the author in hi 3 Preface, is to " establish the fact that the disposition to commit self-destruction is, to a great extent, amenable to those principles which regulate our tre4t. meat of ordinary disease ; and that, to a degree more than is generally supposed, it originates in derangement of the brain and abdominal viscera." This hypothesis, which is by no means a novel one', is illustrated by a variety of apposite anecdotes, which will serve to amuse those readers who may be too indolent, or too indifferent to the suliject, to wade through the more substantial and argumeni!ve portions of the work. Mr. Wenslow, in enumerating the authors who have discussed the question of Suicide, makes particular mention of Hume, of whom he observes, "it has been said that he was scarcely guilty of a good or benevoleni-t, ac ion. His treatment of Rousseau was unfeeling in the extreme." On the contrary, Humes treatment of this crazy French philosopher, when he fled from his own country to England, was uniformly considerate and friendly ; d was repaid—as was indeed to have been expected an ingratitude by flagrant on the part of Rousseau, who had not a spark of healthy, generous feelinz in his nature, but was throughout life the victim of that morbid species of sensibility, which, for want of a better term, we may call sentimental cant. Altogether, we have been pleased with Mr. Wenslow's volume ; though it is much too rambling and desultory in. its character, and stands greatly in need of compression.

MURDER, AND SUICIDE OF TIIE  MURDERER IN FRANCE.  (From 'the Gazette des Tribunaux) A dreadful murder, followed by the suicide of the murderer, has been committed at Boeseghen, a commune situate about a league from the city of Aire, upon the route to Hazebrouck. The man, George Bernet, lived in concubinage with his servant, EUphrosine Bourlier, aged 42 years, whom he shot with a pistol, and whilst she was stretched on the ground w-eltering in blood, he armed himself with a gun, loaded it with buck-shot, the barrel of which he placed against his left side, under the heart, in which, by stepping upon the trigger with his foot, ho lodged the custents. His death was instaneous. The unhappy man had carefully loaded those weapons previously, and was thus well prepared to carry into execu. tion his projected crime. The motives which led him to the commission of this clime are not authentically known, it is said his victim was pregnant, and morever that she had given birth to a child. It appears that the mental faculties of Bernet, who has always led an eccentric life, had become impaired.  ll,eended frcm Protestant parents, who we settled in a country where Catholicism alone is known,r he embraced the latter religion at an advanced age. Ho was, however, never considered to be seriously converted ; he mixed not in the affairs of the commune, or had communication with the inhabitants ; he was never seen at mass or at taverns, but was a great sportsman, and passed kis life alone in the fields and woods with his dog and gun. He was an athletic man; and of aindictivo disposition, two qualities, which did not increase him in the estimation of hill neighbours, who, when passing near his dwelling, when he was there, heard litCe else than imprecations and blasphemies. Bernet was in the possession of a coni. fortable living-, and had some property. Tho servant. it is said, had just sunk under the effects of the wound.

SUICIDE IN HYDE PARK.----Yesterday morning, about seven o'clock, a young man was observed walking by the side of the Serpentine River, Hyde Park, evidently absorbed in great affliction. With an agitated step he was next seen to approach close to the brink of the river, and knetling down, clasped his hands togetherh and seemed to pray fervently for a few semi& He then abruptly rose, and plunged headlong from the bank into deep water. An alarm was instantly given, and the boat put off to his assistance, but before it arrived the water closed over him, and when got out, life was extinct. The body was conveyed to St. George's poor-house, when, on i searching his pockets, all the money found n them was one bad balfpenny, and his appearance, altogether, indicated extreme distress.
