SOUTHWARK.  ATTEXPTID SIIICIDE.—Ann Curl, a middle-aged female of rather decent appearance, was brought before Mr. Combo charged with taking a quantity of laudanum with intent to commit suicide.  Police Constable 229 M said that about twelve o'clock on Saturday night he was on duty in the Borough, and while proceeding from Wellington-street to the Borough Market he perceived the prisoner lying on the steps apparently asleep. He endeavoured to rouse her up, but she was quite insensible. He immediately procured assistance and conveyed her to the station-house, when she partially recovered before the fire, and in a faint voice said she was dying as she had taken poison. By direction of the Inspector on duty he conveyed her to St. Thomas's Hospital, where the stomach pump was used and a large quantity of laudanum ejected from the stomach. She was extremely ill afterwards, and had remained in the hospital until yesterday when he went and took her into custody. Mr. Combo asked the prisoner what was the cause of her attempting to destroy herself ? _ _  She replied that she had been entirely deserted by her friends, and had no home to go to ; in fact distress drove her to commit the act.  Mr. Combo asked her whether she bad any relations in London I  She replied that she had not, and she bad no one to help her. Mr. Combo asked the constable whether he had ascertained anything about her ? The constable said that he had had no opportunity of finding anything• about her, as she refused to give any information respecting herself. Mr. Combe asked whether he knew where she got the laudanum ?  The constable replied that he did not, as she had not a farthing about her. From her manner, he believed slie was not in her right senses. - Mr. Combe remanded her to Horsemonger-lane Gaol for a week, where she would be attended by a medical gentleman, who would be able to ascertain her real state of mind. In the meantime the constable would be able to make some inquiries about her.

RUSSELL.  Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, held an inquest yesterday at 2 o'clock oa the body of Mr. C. Russell, late chairman of the Great Westera Railway, at his late residence in Argyle street, Regent-street Mr. G. L. Russell, of the Chancery bar, identified the body as that of his brother. He knew of no cause except mental disease for his committing suicide. Robert Howard, valet to the deceased, deposed that he had two or three days before complained of pains in the chest ; and on Tuesday morning had called for a cup of tea—a fact quite unusual with him, and still complained of the pain he was labouring under, and said he had sentfor medical advice. He left him at 10 o'clock at night, awl went to his room at a quarter before 7on Thursday morning. He then found the deceased lying on the bed in his dressing-gowg,eit his side. Ills face was covered with blood ; two pistol 'were lying by his side ; he was not dead at that thee, but breathing hard. He (witne,,s) ran for the nearest medical man, and Mr. M'Oscar, of Tyler-street, attended, and a physician was sent for. He heard no report of a pistol during tho night, and no one was in the house except the deceased, witness, and the female housekeeper. The pistols found on the bed ho had never seen before. One had-been discharged, the other appeared to have missed fire. The deceased never spoke, and died about 2 o'c ock.  Mr. J. MgOscar deposed I hat when he was called to see the deceased he found him bleeding from_the mouth and nostrils. The blood on his face was quite hard ; and, on examining the mouth, he found a large fissure in the centre of the palate, evidently caused by a pistol-shot, the bullet, in al probability lodging near the brain. Ho was perfectly unconscious and had bad no power of motion, and the act might have been committed one or two hours before he was calledin. He had 11(4 doubt that death was caused by effusion of blood on the brain from the wound, and that, the deceased committed the act himself, which appeared, from the direction of the wound, to have been done with the left hand. In his opinion, from the marks of blood ou the floor, the deceased must have fired the pistol standing, and then thrown himself on to the bed. Both pistols bad not been discharged, but, one bein unscrewed, the powder had dropped out, the bullet remaining in the barrel. Mr. Morton, of i2d, Stanhope•place, Surgeon, said he had known the deceased for seine years ; he had latterly been suffering from oppression on the chest, which would tend to depress the brain and cause mental derangement. After some further evidence the jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity."

BALLINASLOE FAIR. The total number of sheep sold on Saturday, the first and principal day of the fair, was, according to the return at the custom gap, 70,341, or about 10,000 more than on the first day last year. There was a considerable decline in the prices at 9 or 10 o'clock from those obtained about two hours earlier. The increase in prices over last year is attributable in a great measure to the improved condi ion of the sheep. SUNDAY, Oct. s.—During the confusion attendant on getting off the sheep from tne fair-green yesterday afternoon, a man named William Carroll received a violent blow on the head from a shepherd's crook. 11a was re moved to the police barracks, where every assistance was rendered by Dr. Burke, but the matter assumed a serious aspect about 6 o'clock, and he di: I at 11 o'clock p.m. It i 3 lite; known whether the blow was give', accidentally or wilfully. The inquest will be 'add tee merrow (Monday). SUNDAY, 4 r 31.—Up to this hour the arrivals of horses for to-morrow's fair are both numerous and apparently of a first-rate description. Sellers and buyers continue to roll in, and it is expected that the show of beasts and business will bo much better than last year, should the weather continue propitious.  ljd 4 14  When any of thoso datas fall on a Sunday, the mails will be de_ spatchod on tho following day, with the exception of the I.ndla (via Southampton), and the Malta, both •t which will be despat'lblui the preceding day.  i - l  ••• . d  Mr. Beadon wished to know why the child had not been sworn before ? The mother said the defendant was of a violent temper. He had threatened to take her life if ever she swore the child to him, and he had promi3ed to be a friend to her it she did not. The last money he paid was about six weeks ago. Mr. Beadon wished to know why the defendant went to .the mother's lodgings on the birthday of the child and made a pudding ? The defendant admitted that this was partly true, arid he would explain. He had been the instrument, undvr Providence, of preventing the mother from committing suicide. This was an event that every good Christian ought to rejoico at ; therefore he had gone to the mother's lodins and had given money for a boudin de raisins.
