THE SUICIDE IN CANNON-STREET.  Yesterday afternoon Mr. Payne, the City coroner, held an inquest at the White Horse Inn, Friday-street, on the body of Mr. Albert Tanner Howell, aged 28, a endmorcisl traveller in the house of Messrs. Gillott and Fester, in Cannoe-street West, who committed suicide by jumping from the fourth story window of the warehouse, as detailed in this journal of yesterday. The deceased was stated to have been of c►eerful, steady, and sober habits, and was on the eve of getting married. About two months sines some difference arose between him and the young lady, which resulted in the breaking off of the engagement. This led to • remarkable change in his denseenoar; he became eccentric and desponding, and frequently coave►sed with hie friends as to tee sudden termination of the intimacy al:u led to. On Tuesday eveolog he took rather a long stroll in the West-end with a friend. In the course of the walk the deeeeFed dwelt upon the estrangement, and his friend lied some difficulty in inducing him to ishauge the losiversation. They parted shortly before 12 o'clock, and the deceased, who had only pastelists of a glass of porter during the evening, went to his lodgings. He appeared' to have laid down on his bed with hie clothes and boots on. On the following morning, at 9 o'elock, he proceeded to the warehouse in Cannon-street, end went directly up to the fourth Boor. He (paned the window, and got outside. One of the domestics entered the room at the moment he was standing on the stone coping of the window sill, with his face to the street. Bhe called to him, "For Ged's sake, Mr. Howell, don't do it I" He, however, paid no heed to her entreaties, but bounded off, end fell with his heed dowewards on the pavement beneath. In his descent he struck Mr. Reece, a clerk in the house of Messrs. Berens, Blomberg, end Co., on the top of the back, and foic‘d him to the ground with much violence, ceasing him some injury. The deoeared was killed on the spot. The*, returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity." Mr. Beene is going on favourably.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. _._..._._ (mow ous ow. ooizzeromaxs.)  PARIS, MONDAY The Emperor and Empress are expected to appear at the Opera this evening. The annual distribution of prizes at the Sorbonne took place to-day. Marshal Valliant, the Minister of War, presided in the character of Provisional Minister of Public Instruction, which he has filled since the death of M. Porton!. The event of the day was the presence of Marshal Pelimier. After the usual Latin speech pronounced by M. Olachant, professor of rhetoric In the Lyceum of Louis le Grand, the Minister of War rose and paid a tribste to the memory of M. Porton!. Then going into the general topics usually dwelt on by the president on these oecalions, he seized the hand of Marshal PeHasler and presented him to the students as a model of what might be achieved by in dustry and perseverance. The students gave the Sebastopol general a very hearty reception. The Bourse has been more animated to-day than fora very long time past. The Rents rose 150. for cash, and 23c. for amount, closing at 70fr. 70c. and 71fr. There was no very great rise in other sendties, but the tone of the market was considered to have greatly improved. Credit Mobilier rose Ur. No. The Northern Railway rose 12fr. 500., and other lines tram 21r. 630. to 71r. The Pays and the Patric contain the following Paragraph : Some foreign journals have circulated the rumens that three millions of forged notes had been presented for paymeat at the Beak of Frazee. After haring made 'equines about this sews' which vim of a somewhat alaratiog nature, we are assayed that it is not cornet. Only three forged notes of 100 fr. ham been promoted to the Bank of France within the last month, sad is these instances the forgeriu were at aloe detected. Cardinal Goueset, Archbishop of Rheims, has added his adhesion to throe which the Bishops of Arras and Montauban have publicly given to the polities of the Univers. 01 the latter prelate, the Suele says, " He is the same person who authorised hawkers to propagate apocryphal miracles, end to promise masses and half masses to those who parchased of them twenty eons worth of goods. We can easily conceive that these prelates patronise the Univers."  Madame Metal arrived in Paris this morning. She will stay here, 1 understand, a month or five weeks, but will only play • very few times. She requires repose, after her great and long-continued exertions.  The dead body of Poirier, the murderer, who eat off the head of a woman in the Rue de Fidelite, bay just been discovered in the Bois de Vinosonea, and taken to the Morgue.

Receiving no response, the room was foreibly entered, and a ghastly sight prestated itself. In a pool of blood upon the fio .r Mr. Whitehead lay, face downwards, covered with clotted blood, and in his right hand a pistol firmly grasped, with his forefinger resting upon the trigger. It was evident the deceased had committed solf-destruction by discharging the contenta of the pistol into hie mouth. He was quite dead.

What must have been your anxious hours eines I left my house I I know that you have nothing to support yourself ; only you have been too kind. God Almighty protect and support you, and forgive my worst enemies. Your affectionate though wretched husband, George Whitehead." A somewhat singular foci in connection with the lamentable affair fe, that the report of the pistol was not heard by any person in the hotel.
