LILL 12 ULLIU .1 UR.N ALS  "Verdict, Temporary Insanity." Such, says the Time; must needs be the conclusion many persons will feel tempted to come to upon reading the account of such catastrophes as the one of which the Schreckhorn was lately the scene. There is suicide in the London fog, some people think, in November; and, possibly, the same instinct of self-destruction may be lurking in the pure au of the upper Alps at Midsummer: The Alps must have their yearly complement cf victims. The thrift and enterPrise of the Swiss have arranged their mountain region into so easy and open and everywhere accessible a show that it has become almost impossible to associate the idea of enjoyment with that of risk. There is no more peril in a three months' tour in Switzerland than in a canter in Rotten-row. But there are men to whom the chance of a broken neck is a supreme bliss ; who live danger as virtue ought to be loved-- for its own sake, and against whose rashness it is as difficult to provide as against the morbid gloom that snakes others seek in a razor, a rope, or a pinto: refuge from the weariness of life, whether that life be the most valnsble or the most utterly worthless. Men of real pluck and enterprise, in fact, already hold Alpine climbing in sovereign contempt. The run this year is no longer to Switzerland or the Tyrol. As you walk in the Strand, or as you lounge in your club, you hear of fellows rendezvousing in the Caucasus. That h the ground to try a man's mettle; with paths so steep that by the side of them the Gemini is only a garden avenue ; with peaks that " remind us of two Matterhorn:, one piled up o-a the other." If we bear of a luckless slip or of an awkward stumble on those great heavenward stairs, we shall at least console ourselves with the notion that there is some virgin ground to break through, some of Nature's darkest mysteries to dive into ; but to throw away one's life on the mountains of the Oberland or of the Pennine West, to climb one familiar top after another, only to end by leaving one's bones at the foot of the last of them—Cui bond?

June 80  Race Glasses, byVolgtlander, are now ao longer the exclusive luxury of the rich. Since the great demand for photographic lenses has diminished, an opportunity has been afforded for applying mechanical power with the greatest success, whereby the cost of these beautiful and most perfect instruments is reduced in price in some instances to as much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now no dearer than those of the best French or English makers. At the depot Callaghan, 23A, New Bond-street, corner of Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulge their taste iu the possession of a veritable Voigtlauder at comparatively trifling cost. It is superfluous to say the quality is as over matchless. Englaud, during the five years 1863-7, hanging was the most common form of suicide; and the deaths of 2,081 men and 489 women are recorded by this moans. Cut throat and drowning stand next in order of frequency; 948 males aud 287 females committed suicide by the former, and 638 males and 477 females by the letter means. Out of the 6,696 suicides, 4,920, or nearly three-fourths, were committed in one of these three ways. By poison there were 363 deaths of males and 308 deaths of females; of these 671 cases the description of poison was specified in 451 instances ; by prussic acid and cyanide of putassitur 121 deaths are recorded; by laudanum, 101 ;by oxalic acid, 58 ; and by strychnia, SJ.

AINE, M.P.--This hono.urhoabui: and learned gentleman expired on Saturday, at in Bedford-!quare, after a short in the 6gth year of his age. Mr. RAINE was a King's Counsel, and 13encli.a. of Lincoln's-inn, and a fortnight prior to lilsiution lie was returned for the Duke of NORTH UAr Bria,A Nn'S close borough of Newport (Cornwall), which the Hon. Gentleman ha I rt pre,ct,tal since 1812. In 1816, Mr. RAINS was appoin'ed one of the Welsh Judges, and lie continued to pertbrm the functions of that judicial tiffi„e until the recent alterations in the judicature of the principality, when he retired on the handsome superan"atior. allowance of 1,000/. per annum, By Mr. RAINE's deioise a vacancy, of course, occurs in the representation of the Noble Duke's nomination borough. Mr. RAINE seas an Anti-Reformer, and voted against the constitutional measure proposed by his MAJEsrv's Ministers. He had, we believe, retired from practice at the Common Law Bar for several years previous to his death.  ATTEMPTED SUICIDE ON WATERLOOforenoon, about half-past twelve o'clock, a female, very respectably dressed, was observed by two watermen, named REYNOLDS and iNToants, to descend the steps rapidly on the lower side of Wa'erloo-bridge, and ),,fore the men could get to her she had plunged into the water, which at the time was at least ten feet deep, and instantly sunk under some wherries that were lying moored off the stairs. The two above named men, with much intrepidity, Jumped into the boats, and, after much difficulty, succeeded in keeping her head above the water. The unhtppy creature was conveyed ashore, and carried to Mr. STANTON'S, in the Strand, where for some time the means recommended by the Humane Society were resorted to, and she was so far recovered as to be enabled to say that her name was MARL ANNE REVELL, but nothing further could he elicited from her. She was removed to the house of WRIGHT, the beadle of St. Mary-le-Strand, in Drury-line, where she was put to bed, and every attention paid to her. Too much cannot be said of the conduct of REYNOLDS and NORRIS, the two watermen, through Whom the life of the unfortunate woman was saved.  SHIPPING INTELLIGENCt (
