THE SUN,  THE LATE ATTEMPT AT MURDER AND  SUICIDE AT IPSWICII.  The particulars connected with this tragical affair, so far as they came out before the Coroner and jury on Wednesday last, have already appeared in The Sun. _ _ _  _ An adjournment of the inquest was on Wednesday agreed on, in order that the intended victim, Martha Moyse, whose life the suicide James Wailing, was frustrated in taking, should be so far recovered from the wounds she had received as to give evidence. It was believed at the adjournment of the inquest on Wednesday that she would not have been able to leave her room for four or five days, but her recovery has been so rapid, that her medical attendant, Mr. G. G. Sampson, consented to her appearing on Friday evening last before the Coroner (Mr. S. B. Jackaman) and jury, who had re-assembled at the Feathers Inn for the purpose of her depositions being taken. Martha Moyse, who is a good-looking young woman, was led into the room by a police-officer. She looked pale, and could scarcely walk. Her left arm was supported in a sling, and the wound under her right lower jaw, which extended in an angular direction from the hinder part of the ear to the corner of her mouth, was strapped up with plaster. In the course of her examination restoratives had to be administered to prevent her fainting. Having been sworn, she said, in answer to questions from the Coroner—l am 19 years of age, and lam a single woman. I have no friends. About two months ago the deceased, James Wailing, invited me to go and meal with him and his sister. I did go. A short time after that he asked me to sleep, with his sister. He said I could do so without paying any thing for the accommodation. At the time he made me that offer I was at lodgings at the house of a Mrs. Mur• rell, in the Bramfcrd-road; and I gave up my lodgings in the Bramford-road, for which I paid, and slept with Wailing's sister for two nights in the same room in which the deceased slept. After having slept with his sister two nights I used to sleep with the deceased, which I continued to do up to last Sunday night. The reason of my not returning to sleep wilh him after then was not from any misunderstanding or angry words passing between us. I refuse to state where I slept last Monday night. The

SUICIDE AT BLACIEFRIARS..BRIDGE.—An inquest was taken on Saturday by Mr. J. W. Payne, at the Bridewell, Bridge-street, Blackfriars, on the body of a fine young woman, who was found under the following circumstances :—On Wednesday morning, about eleven o'clock, a boy named Rhodes, living in the Waterloo-road, was standing on the steps of Blackfriars-bridge, when, as the tide receded, he observed a human head on the causeway, which induced him to go the spot, and discovered the body of a fine young woman, of not more than 18 or 20 years of age. He called to a policeman, who obtained a shell, and she was taken to the Glazier's Arms, in Waterlane, and th4-re seen by Mr. Hutchinson, of Farringdonettuhre nerd iv aer n , b street, surgeon, who was of opinion that she had been dead some hours. She was dressed in a sort of half-mourning gown, and from the appearance of her hands had been used tor much hard work with the needle.

THE " IRISH COURT " The Ministerial announcement on Friday evening respecting the intention of Government to abandon the projected measure for the abolition of the Viceroyalty has diffused great joy among the partisans of " the Castle" and afforded a portion of the press fresh grounds for exultation at the recent system of tactics played off by the Irish brigade, to the potent agency of whose " vote" is attributed, perhaps fairly, Lord John Russell's deference to the voice of public opinion upon this question of aboliti.n. Of conr3e, considering the state of " business," this was only to be expected, and the announcement has created but little surprise at this side of the Channel. Indeed, considering the strange events which have characterised the Parliamentary session since its commencement, it may be doubted whether the ultimate abandonment of the Aggression Bill itself would cause any marked astonishment, or be regarded as anything more than one of the incidents of the year of the Great Exhibition. The omission of all reference in the Speech from the Throne to the Lord-Lieutenantcy was from the first deemed tolerably conclusive evidence that there was no serious intention, at least at present, to plunge deeper into this sea of " Irish difficulties."

DREADFUL AND FATAL OCCURRENCE.—Yesterday afternoon a fearful accident, which terminated fatally, occurred to a man of the name of Mr. Thomas Glindhind, aged 60, residing at No. 3, Capland-place North, Caplandstreet, Lisson-grove, Paddington, under the following circumstances :—The accident, it appears, was occasioned by the unfortunate deceased loading a large horse-pistol on his return home at night, on the 7th instant, unknown to his family, and carelessly left it on the supper table, when his son, a fine lad of the name of William Glindhind, aged nine years, took up the pistol, on coming down stairs to breakfast, and pointing it towards his father told him, playfully, he would have a pop with it ; when, unfortunately, before his father had time to tell him it was loaded, he pulled the trigger, and the whole of the contents entered his right side assistance possible, just above the hip. The family, upon seeing this, rushed out of the house, and raised an alarm, when police-constable No. 134 D, found the unfortunate man bleeding profusely from a frightful wound. He was immediately conveyed to yesterday Saint Mary's Hospital, Paddington, when the house-surgeon, Mr. Lane, was promptly on the spot, and examined "sPomirede of the deck ATTEMPTED Sulam:l.—On Monday afternoon, as theafternoon. futet ruwnniotfohonro.tuutn avail.at e man The annad i unfortunate m w renderedas g every vv ee r manyn b y the Star steam-boat was going down the Long Reach, on her man had leaped overboard.

THE RECENT MURDER IN PARIS. The authorities 11.1ve commenced a searching investigation into all the circumstances of the murder of the aged female, Madame Lebelle, and the attempted murder of Madame Itibault, both of the Rue Bourbon le, Chateau. It appears that afzer the assastin had gone away, Mad Arne Itibault, whilst lying bleeding on the ground, feared that she would die before assistance sboal.d arrive ; she accordingly attempted to trace in blood on her chemise characters which would indicate the assassin, but, reflecting that they would not be legible, she, by a great effort, managed to crawl to a chimney-board, where she traced with her finger, dipped in blood, the letters " Commis dr. lki. T—." These letters are very it-• regular, but are perfectly legible; some others-that foitb Iv the letter 'L' are illegible. After this Madame • Riblult begin to make as much noise as her failing strength would allow, in order to attract assistance, and at last the door of hor apartment was forced open. The courage displayed by this old lady was extraordinarily great. For eight hours she remained lying on the ground in a pool of blood, and every hour became weaker and weaker, and during all this time the corpse of her murdered companion was lying near her. After Madame Eibault had been stabbed by the assassin in different places, he attempted to thrust a piece of cloth into her Brost, but she succeeded in dragging it away. The cloth in question, a napkin, was found; it bore the marks of teeth and blood. It was believed that M,darne Lebelle had been strangled ; but on examination of her throat by medical men, core of the contusions occasioned by strangulation could he discovered. In examining the mouth of the deceased, a back pin was found, and afterwards a piece of black ribbon was seen in the throat. Br t) aid of instruments this was with some difficulty pulled tin, and to it was attached the cap which Madame Ribault had worn on the previous evening. This cap had been presed into a sort of ball, and thrust violently into the throat of deceased by a stick, or some such sort of thing. Madame Ribault is in a sesious state, hut there is reason to 1)2lieve that she will recover. The assassin is named Laforcade, nod the newspaper to which he belongs is the Petit courrier des Dames Yesterday morning he atternpl-e:d suicide by opening a vein with a piece of glass, which he took from the window ; but he was discovered in time, and measures were at once taken to prevent any new attempt.—Galignani's Messenger.

On the husband's return, he at once suspected that she had been murdered, though the prevailing opinion at the time was that it was a case of suicide. Circumstances, however, have come to light, which have induced the police of the town to effect the capture of Mrs. Pinckard, the wife of the deceased's son, on suspicion of having murdered the old lady. _The deceased, it seems, some time since had left her bdy tahn uncle the interest of 1,000/., which at her iZi on.i`‘ias to be divided among her children.

UPAIII VS TE ESSEX. The poor of this parish the other day presented their young pastor, the Rev. W. A. Hill, with a handsome silver inkstand, on the Occasion of his leaving them to take a larger charge at St. Barnabas, South Kennington. Only twenty months have elapsed since Mr. Hill began the duties of this charge, and so unremitting has been the. zeal with which he has performed his duties in the church, the school, and in the sick room, that he has won the universal esteem and affection of rich and poor. During this period Mr. Hill has succeeded in raising 7001. for the erection and maintenance of national schools in the parish, which are now in active operation; and this was the more creditable in a widely scattered population, and considering the ddlieuities, known only to country clergymen, of collecting money for similar purposes. By thus earnestly providing for the intellectual and temporal, as well as the spiritual wants of his parishioners, he gave the best proof of his anxiety for their weltare. We recollect that, acting ou the benevolent principle of the Rev. Mr. Brown, late of Spitalfields, he invited the poor of his parish to spend one long summer day at his house, where, in the lawn in front, after having partaken of their worthy pastor's hospitality they joined in various country sports and games prepared for them, and the air rang with the joy of youth, while all looked on with parental love and happiness. And when the sun began to sink in the west, and each pressed forward to thank their young pastor for the happy day they had spent, it was impossible to mistake the hearty shake of the hand—the starting tear of the old—the glad eye of the young— only toned down by an expression of love and respect for one who had made them so happy. The dullest observer might have seen that an important spring of human action had been touched, and that the minds of these simple peasants, like a well-ploughed field, were open to receive the seed of truth. For it is in the hearts of her people that the Church must hope to develope the power and divinity of Protestantism. Here lies her strength—the strength in fact of all churches. She must be in deed as well as in theory, the poor mans dechurch. If this be wanting, " Synods" mss make "rights clarations" and martial their forces to fightfor t eand of the clergy" in vain. The revival of forgotten canons __ obsolete forms will prose poor substitutes for the affec• ;'on and confidence of her members.  during SuiCIDE.—On Saturday an inquest was held on the yh person eurrsso n elapsed ba_ne: body of Mary, the wife of Mr. Start, a butcher, in Paulstreet, Finsbury.

THE  COUNT DE BOCARIVIE. A letter from Mona says:--,, The Count de Bacarrne has appealed to the Court of Cessation against his sentence. The Countess, on returning to the prison, had a violent nervous attack. Her children were pa about presence brought ctew et e nod,: ldo etko restore brought to her, tahned prisontheir her.. She left morning, and went to the house of M. Ilarmignies, one of her counsel. A report is current that she is about to set off for Germany. M. de Bomini sent on Sunday for the cure of Mons, who immediately went to him. His counsel, for whom he testifies the warmest gratitude, has never left him since his con, deranation." Another letter, 15th, says:—" The calm : with which M. de Bocarm‘ heard the sentence of death did - kni4 cease for a moment during the night. -On returning to his cell the Count threw himself on his knees, and remained some time in prayer.:„His first words on receiving the visit of his o counsel aoare, ' At least my wife is acquitted, and she ,fl ;f't will -Able to take care of her children.' to The s ," ::., ggid ofharged to watch over him said -„-.9,,,never saw such eourame as his.

During the whole of the trial M. do Bocarmli prayed, for some time, on returning from the court. Madame de Bocarme appears perfectly indifferent to the fate of her husband; it is, however, reported that she intends to go to Brussels to demand his pardon of the King.

SUICIDE FROM HUNGERFORD-BRIDGE.—On Saturday afternoon, about five o'clock, a respectably attired young man, apparently between 20 and 25 years of age, committed self-destruction by precipitating himself from Hungerfordbridge. He was observed by the officer on the bridge to walk rapidly towards the Middlesex side, but there was nothing in his manner to indicate his fatal intention. A boy who was within a few yards saw him on the ledge at the the other side of the railings stooping down, but thinking that he was pulling at a rope, the circumstance did not excite his suspicion. In a few seconds after ,yards he threw himself into the water, and the parties in a steam-boat which bad just passed threw out a rope, hoping that he would catch it. several small boats also towed out from the shore, but ere they reached the spot he had disappeared. Men have been since engaged dragging the river, but up to las evening the etiOrts to recover the body had been unsuccessful.  Hit Excellt-ney Sir Hrury Bulwer, accompanied by Lady Bulwer, is expected to embark at the end of t his week for New York, en route to resume his diplomatic functions at the seat of the American Government.  • GLASGOW UNIVERSITY —ELECTION OF 3 ORD RECTOR —GLASGOW, Nov. 15.—This appointment, which is frequently the subject of great sti and excitement, pa,sed over quietly to day by the re•electiou of Mr. Sheriff Alison, the historian, to fill the office for another year. A section of the liberal students made an effort to get up a party for Lord Palmerston, but the more prudent members f the University gave it the pietas, both from the turmoil which a contest would provoke and from the consideration that his Lordship was not at this time likely to be at all desirous of the honour, which, if offered, would infer the trouble Of a journey to Glasgow and the delivery of an installation speech.  -' " • • , ', -fii` vi Nt.i.--; THIS • light VW LONDON, iN uy 18.---I,Viod et 1101.111 Vi., 41 AI 1;;.,e. inali LIVERPOOL, Nov. 17.—Witid N.N.E --Arrd.
