The discharges should not be checked at once, but rather encouraged, for such sudden check must of course be always dangerous. Nature is the noblest of physicians, and must net be opposed, but seconded. All sores are for a time the safety-valves of the constitu,ion, and should not be closed or healed until they assume a healthier, cbaracter. Under the action of this powerful ointment, together with the pills, the depraved humours of the body will be quickly removed,  Mysterious Attempted Suicide by a Fre% Officer in the City.  The police are at present engaged in investigatir the circumstances of a most determined attempt suicide by a French gentleman named Hippo ii Linde, who had been for a month past residing Fiveash's Hotel, Aldersgate-street. It appears the on Monday evening the commissioners of the Cit and of the Metropolitan Police received simulti neously letters stating, that by the time the lette came to hand the corpse of the writer would be IyU in a room in the above hotel, as he would have sh( himself dead with bullets from a revolver. He col eluded by saying that the police would be reward( for any trouble they might be put to in cons( quence of his act. The singular circumstance the letters being directed both to Scotland-yard an Old Jewry by a foreigner, who might be suppose ignorant of the respective headquarters of the di, ferent polic? forces, deserves remark. When ti letter was received at the Old Jewry, Inspect( Hamilton, Sergeant Packman, of the detective fore, and five constables were met by a similar body ( the Metropolitan force, who had been deespatche by the authorities at Scotland-yard, and who, find ing their services were not required, withdrevi The City police proceeded upstairs to the secon floor front room, and found the door fastened, an it required their united exertions to force it open , few inches. They then found that all the brill ture had been piled against the door, and that th room was perfectly dark, the blinds having bee drawn and the shutters closed. The writer of th letter was not dead, and, from the tone of his remark Inspector Himilton judged it necessary to be very Cif cumspect in order to prevent casualties. TheFreech man said that he was a ruined man, and that he hal been disappointed in the object of his life. Sergeaa Packman said, " We are Englishmen; we do no wish to injure you," and he offered to shake hand in proof of friendship. He put in his hand, all( found that the unfortunate man's body was wet wit! blood. The Frenchman shook hands, w hen Packmal said, "Let us shake hands in the English manner with both hands." The proposal threw the man of his guard, and while he was held fast the door wio burst in. Upon the light being let in a shocking scene presented itself. A tall young man, of aria.  tocratic and military bearing, and of dark corn' plexion, was clothed merely in his coat and trouser° and was covered with blood, which was pouring from three dreadful ballet-wounds in the breast and side. The room was in complete disorder, and the bed and floor were saturated with blood. Upon the floor lay a revolver of French manufao' ture, and near were some military orders and, decorations, one of which appeared to be °I great value. Three of the six barrels of the revol' ver were found to have been recently discharged and completely reloaded, doubtless in readiness for a renewal of the attempt. The shirt, waistcoat, and two flannel shirts were picked up on the floor, and were each found to contain three bullet holes, and to be completely saturated with blood. had, no doubt, divested himself of the garments to allow himself the more freely to bleed to death' The bullets used were conical balls, of a patent con" struction, which rendered the injuries inflicted of $ very aggravated character, A surgeon was eat for, who temporarily bandaged the wounds, and ordered the sufferer to be forthwith carried to St' Bartholomew's Hospital, where he now lies under the care of Mr. Lawrence.  The police, in searching the room, dis covered is number of documents and letters in the French language, the contents of which have not been allowed to transpire, but which it is understood contain detailed statements as to the reason of the suicide.  M. Linde is understood to be a member of a faraili of wealth and position, and to have been an officer in the French service, in which it is believed he ob' tained the decorations already mentioned, which were found in the blood upon the floor of his rooni• Uponinquiry at the hospital yesterday, it s",,° ascertained that, though the unfortunate gentleman ° lungs have been penetrated and fearfully injured, he still survives, but without hope of recovery.
