ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE. —On Monday twirning at Newcastle, a tailor of the name of Robert Knox underwent an examination before Captain West, on the charge of attempting to murder his wife. It appears that the prisoner is a master tailor, and his wife, a stay and corset maker. On Sunday morning a quarrel took place between them, during which the man sprang out of bed, and, seizing a large knife which lay near the bed. he struck it with great force into the side of his wife, who was standing in the room with her clothes on. Her shrieks aroused a neighbour (Finnigan) who rushed into the room, and found Knox and his wife lying upon the ground, and blood streaming copiously trom both of them. As soon as Finnigan entered the room Knox drew from his side a large knife, and shouted— " You see I have done it myself." An alarm Was raised, and several of the neighbours came to Finnigan's assistance, whilst others went in search of medical men and police officers. Knox and his wile were placed on chairs in the bedroom, and on the arrival of the police, at ten minutes past t ne o'clock, both appeared to be in a dying state, and unable to speak. At four o'clock Mr. Alderman Hodgson and Mr. Bulman, the magistrate's clerk, were in attend:ince, as the woman appeared to he then reviving, the depositions were not taken. The prisoner had recovered earlier, and at three o'clock was taken to the Manors police station. and charged with attempting to murder his wife, whets he replied, " I art sorry I did not do it effectually".

FATAL HEAT OF THE WEATHER.—The number of sudden deaths attributable to the extreme heat of the weather has been greater than any hitherto on record. On Saturday night Mr. Weilt held an inquest on Mr. Oscar Webb, aged thirty-nine, clieesetnonger,loo, Tottenhem-court road. Deceased, while standing ii, the shop, was visited by a friend, who said to him, It's a very but day." Mr. Brent held another inquest at [farrow, on Michael Curike. aged 40,a labourer ill the employ of Mr. Goodebild, proprietor of the "Forty Acres Farm." On the previous Tuesday deceased, while haymaking, staggered forward lied fell. His fellow - labourers, upon raising him up, fou ad hint in the agonies of death, and he only survived lour hours. Mr. llewlett made lip.,l•morttm examination, and found that death resulted from a cusp de soled. Another was held at Notting-hill, upon Elizehetti Osborne, a nersery-maid, age 14. Deeeased wheeled the children to Ketisal green, a distance of two Upon returning home she complained of headache, end laid herself outwle the bed, from which bile tell to the floor a few hours efterwards a lifaless corpse, and quite black. Dr. Frost gave it as his opinion that death reselted from coup de noted. Mr. %V ukley has held two inquests in similar eases. On Monday Mr. Carter held an iiiquest on the body of M. Kerley, aged 75, a labourer. Oa Friday last the deeeased was hoeing sonic ground between twelve and one o'clock, when he suddenly dropped to the groitud, and was found by a labourer laying. on his back, with his eyes wide open, and quite senseless. There was no doubt of the powertul rays of the sun being the primary agent in all these cases. Communications have reaelied London from remote parts of the country, antiouticieg sinnierons fatal catastrophes from the same cause. Two such deaths occurred in the neighbourhood of Newport, Monmouthshire, on Weilliesday week, from the extreme heat of the sun. The one was at a until mowing grass, and the other a young female in the field. A Paris contemporary of Friday week, says : "'lime great heat ol the lest few ilays has occasioned ninny cases of mental alienation; on AVedilesilay not fewer than seven persons giving evident sighs of insanity were found in the streets. lui the evening of that ilny a tradesman residing in the Rue Pagevin plunged into the Seine at Choiay-le-Roi, but was rescued before he could commit suicide.

FRENCH ROMANCE.,rziII. ;aay at property, SCHHB time ago, left Paris, on a visit to the country, leaving her house in the care of her female servant, an Alsaeian, to whom she was greatly aft lehed. On Friday she arrived in Paris by railway, and, on passing the Hotel-de-Ville, saw, to her surprise, the servant enter the house of an agent for military ,vraplacement, with a bag of money in her hand. She called to her. The girl:was so astounded at hearing the voice of her mistress, that she fainted. When she recovered, the lady conveyed her home. The servaot then threw herself at her feet, and confessed that she had taken 600 fr. from her secretary, in order to purchase the release of her lover, a soldier in u regiment in Africa, who had written to any that he was dying in love of her. The lady. who was much affected at the girl's sorrow, said that she might keep the 600 fr. but that she could not retain her in her service. On Saturday she received a letter from the girl, stating that she hail paid fur a ?trap/want for her 1e,,. r, hat was so affected at having been guilty of rubbery that she intended to commit suicide.

On Mon,i H imams beta uu impiest on ihe body, a.. ait,l j.e ted the corpae, he slated that, from the nt.iks toui,d I U nak, it eared that hei death was from other Lila II natural clinics. Two reports had beea circulated, one that she had poisoned herself, another that she had strangled herself. The first duty of the jury would be to ascertain the cause of death, if the death was from poison, it would not be from arsenical poisoning, as there were no appearances of vomiting or purging, but it might be from strangulation. Now, with regard to that, he would observe that they must not take it for granted that she had strangled herself; for it had been held to be an almost an impossible thing for a person, in the way in which this death had taken place, to destroy herself. The handkerchief which was found round the neck was neither a slip noose nor a knot, but merely passed over so as to be drawn tightly round the neck by the two ends; and, certainly, the appearance of the clothes, which were not stall disarranged or in disorder, but quite smooth down to her feet, showed there had been no struggling. Then, again, the position of her arms, extending only as if placed oie under the body and the other at the top. Then, again, there was a bruise over the left eye, and the tongue protruded, evidently showing that great force must have been used. In answer to the questions by the coroner, llr. Lowe, the surgeon, stated that he thought it hardly possible, from the amount of ecchymosis round the neck, that the deceased could have strangled herself, which is strengthened by the statement ot the witness as to the manner in which she was found. It was at one time bel eyed to be impossible that a suicide could take place by strangulation, but there have been circumstances where it is reported as having been so committed, but from the manner in which the handkerchief was placed in this case, and there being less compressibility from its width, death would have been instant, and great force must have been used to produce the appearances, more than would seem possible that the deceased could have used ; and supposing she had, there would have been some death-struggle which would have disarranged her clothes. It might be just possible that she had destroyed herself, bnt he would not nndertake to say so. The jury, after consideration, returned the following verdict :—That deceased died from strangula. (ion; but whether from her own act, or by the act of Imother person or persons, there was no evidence to prove.
