GREENWICH.--A WIFE CHARGED BY HER HUSBAND WITH ATTEMPTING SUICIDE.--A respectably-dressed young woman, named Jane Foster, 22 years of age, of 5, Morden-street, Greenwich, was charged before' Mr. Seeker with attempting to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river Ravensbourne, at Lewisham. The charge was preferred by the prisoner's husband, from whom she has been separated during the past three months, it being alleged that he had deserted her. From the evidence given it appeared that between seven and eight o'clock on Sunday evening the husband and the prisoner entered the Royal Albert, Blackheath-road, and called for some ale. Having been seated in the back parlour some time the husband left her for the purpose of speaking to a person, and stayed away a considerable time. During his absence the prisoner obtained some writing paper and pen and ink from the landlord, who was aware of the differences between herself and her husband, and from what he observed of the hurried manner in which she wrote, he came to the conclusion that it was her intention to commit suicide. This, fact he communicated to the husband on his return, whose reply was, "If she does it, it will not be the first time. I have pulled her cut of the water once, and I then told her I would not trouble myself again if she attempted to make away with herself." The prisoner had then left, and about two liours after the attention of two young men was called by a gentleman to something floating in the Ravensbourne at Lewisham, which was found to be the body of the prisoner, who was rescued in a state of insensibility, and conveyed to a neighbouring ,inn, where medical aid was procured, and she eventually recovered, when she admitted having deliberately walked into the water, alleging as a reason that while talking to a young woman her husband ma her and accused her of talking to a person of improper character, adding that he had long suspected she was unfaithful to him, and that he had then proved it. Mr. Inspector Mott said there were witnesses to speak to the cruel conduct of the husband towards his wife, but • Mr. Seeker declined hearing them, and ordered the prisoner to find two sureties in £l5 each, to be of good behaviour for the next three months.  lADvrn-risnmENT.]:ltis with pleasure we notice the daily- increase of cures without medicine of indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious and qi liver e;iplaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility, by Dit Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica.
