The evident* went to show that he was not very much intoxicated on Wednesday evening, but was 'sheering from the effects of intemperate habits.

Thomas'a, Chancery-lane, on the body of Job Bartlett, an apprentice toe printer, who hy snowing his mind to dwell constantly on the 1110 of Muller, came to speculate on the subject of hanging, and, while making some experiment., lost his life through • minedventers. It appeared from the evidence of several persons who worked in the priliting-office of Mr. Chiffereil, of Chancery-lane, in which the deceased was employed, that they saw him about half-past sic on Monday evening. and that he was found dead at • quarter before seven. Ever since the murder of Mr. Briggs his thoughts had run in that direction ' • and often, when speaking of the probable fate of Muller, he had said that he himself should like to be hanged. Edward Beds, an apprentice, who discovered the deceased hanging, said the rope which was about his neck was not twisted, and was only tied by • ainile knot. His impression, confirmed by many others in the same office, was that the Lad was playing at hanging, and that as he was standing on thick use let into the floor for the purpose of giving light to the room below, he might have slipped and become entangled in the rope. He was of • eheerful disposition, and no one ever supposed him t, be serious when he talked about his desire to be banged. The rope was placed in the room for the purpose of pulling up the windows for ventilation. The coroner, in summing up, Inclined to the opinion that the lad did not intentionally commit suicide, nod the jury, adopting the some view of the case, returned • verdict of death from misadventure. _ _  A ,

FRIGHTFUL SUICIDE AND ATTEMPT AT MURDER 111 PARIS—The neighbourhood of the Rue Dauphine was, on Tuesday night thrown into conaternation by an attempt at murder followed by suicide. AM. Clear juge de paix of a town in Picardy, arrived unexpectedly, about half-past ten at night, at the house of his brother-in-law, M.B—, No. 41, Rue Dauphine. He was very coolly received, as they had not been on good terms for some time, owing to his strange conduct. M. D— told his brother-in-law that his (D—'s) daughter was about to be married, and be asked B— whether he did not intend to give her a wedding portion of 40,000 f. M. 8— —, amazed at this demand, for which there was no reasonable ground whatever, gave a fiat refusal. fl—then drew out a doable-barrelled pistol and fired both shots at his brother-in-law, only one of which took effect, indicting a slight wound on 13—'3 right hand. B—.—, thinking the man mad, endeavoured to seise him, and a struggle ensued, during which D-- stabbed himself four times in the breast with a small poinard, antbaving at last got free for a moment, he drew out another pWtol, and, discharging it in his mouth, fell down dead. At this moment • number of persona, alarmed by the repeated shots, entered the apartment, and among them was the commissary of police of the quarter. On examining D—'s pockete a letter was found, in which he declared his intention of being revenged on hie brother-in-low mad then killing himself, and the whole contents showed that it could only have been written by an insane person. The Echo de Ardeche records a Nadal tragedy which has recently occurred at fit. Jenne d' Anadure, in that department. On Sunday a farmer named Fanrot saw a woman trespassing on his property, and fired his gun at her. A warrant was ie consequence issued for Panrot's arrest, and, as it was supposed that he would offer some resistance, its execution was entrusted to three gendarmes, who Were accompanied by the jugs-aupail and the Mayor of Andsure. On reaching Faorot's house they found that he had barricaded the doors, and when summoned to Inn-render he threatened to shoot any one who should attempt to enter. One of the gendarmes, named Bouquet, deter:limed to his duty at the risk of his life, set about breaking open the door, and had just effected a partial entrance when Faurot shot him dead. The other gendarmes then made preparations as if to burn the murderer out, hut he, seeing their object, set fire to the house himself, rushed out with • pistol in each hand, and, though fired at several times, made good his recipe to a neighbouring wood. As it was then nearly dark he was not pursued, but measures were taken to insure his capture next day.  A Ri/
