THAMES.  ATTEIMTEI ♦T SUICIDE —Sarah Freeman, a woman of the town, aged 28, and reeiding at No. 2, Glasshousestreet, or buildings, Rosemary-lane, Whitechapel, Vk her.i many robberies and outrages have been committed, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with attempting self.•lestrcetioa. It appeared that the prisoner, who had been drinking freely and quarrelling with some companions of her own class, had, after making an ineffectual attempt to throw herself from the window of the house where she lived, gore to the Hermitage-lock of the London Dock, in Wapping, and after getting over the rails on to the quay, where she raved delirious in a fearful manner, swore she would drown herself, and gave an hysterical laugh. She advanced towards the edge of the luay, and bef ire Holmes, a police constable, could seize her, she plunged into the waters of the lock which is upwards of 20 feet in depth. The drags and grapnels were immediately procured and thrown into the lock, and after the lapse of a few minutes the prisoner was taken out of the water in a perfectly insensible condition, and was recovered by the application of friction to the body, and stimulants. The prisoner appeared to be in a languid condition, and to have suffered much from her immersion in the water, and the means adopted to resuscitate her. The prisoner made no reply to the charge. She made an attempt to speak but was unable to do so, and it was evident the wretched creature was suffering both mentally and physically. Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner to the House of Detention fur a week, and said she would be taken care of in that prison, and the Chaplain would look after her spiritual welfare, and he hoped would convince her that she had committed a most rash and wicked act. Jane King, aged 24, a married woman lof No. 1, Greenfield, Whitechapel, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with being drunk and disorderly, and causing a mob to assemble in the Canal-road, Mile-end, by attempting to throw herself into the Regent's-canal. It appeared from the evidence of George Gray, a policeconetaide, No. 302 K, that hi, attention was ca'led to a disturbance at the aide of the canal, and he found the prisoner there in a most excited state and declaring that. she would drown herself. He removed her and told her to go home, which she refused to do, and continued haranguing the mob, shouting and declaring that!' her time was come and into the water she must go. She made several attempts to throw herself into the water, and he was compelled to take her into custody. Mr. Yardley said the prisoner described herself as a married woman. The number of married women brought before him daily for drunkenness and disorderly conduct was perfectly shocking. He sentenced the prisoner to seven days imprisonment.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.— On the evening of Saturday last the proprietor of an hotel situated in one of the most fashionable quarters of this city, lodged infortnai tion at the central police-office, that a young lady ha just committed suicide in his house. Lieutenant Robb was instantly despatched to the hotel, in one of the bed-rooms of which he found a woman, apparently nearly thirty years of age, in her night-dress, suspended by the neck with a cord from the window-shutter, quite dead. The mode- in which the fatal act ha, been accomplished was by unfastening the cord of tll window blind, supplementing it with her boot an staylace, fastening the end to the knob of the shutterj and passing it over the shutter at the top. She ha stood on the windowsill, and, with the shutter partially closet), put her neck into a noose, thrown her feet offs and thus effected her purpose. It appears that she caul° . to reside at the hotel on Monday last, since which tits° she had been complaioing and pretty much confined to bed, but had occupied a good deal of her time in writing' She was last seen alive by one of the servant girls of the house on Saturday, about mid-day. The swae girl, on going into her room with a letter about 3 o'clocl' in the afternoon, found her in the position already described. She had brought no luggage along with her beyond her articles of wearing apparel, and an orgy mental Fiench fruit-box. This latter contained a fecv, trifling articles, and a number of letters, which lea to her being identified as Jessie Lauder, whose family resides in Edinburgh, to which city she apparently belongs. The melancholy act appears to have been the result of disappointed love, and to have been deliberately premediated. She must have been elr gaged for the last day or two in writing parting let' ter. to relatives and friends, all couched in the Ws affectionate and endearing terms. These display an iris' tensity of feeling, and, at the same time, a philosophy under the most poignant sorrow, that is almost We: concileable with the desperate issue. One letter is 10i; dressed to a young man, who appears to occull situation in the Customs in a neighbouring seaport' whom she frequently addresses by the endearia appellations of "My own Jem," and "My dellr husband." She asks him to abstain from drinls iog, to come t, Glasgow to receive her body, ailo also to lay her head in the grave. She appears w have written to her lover a few days previously, and the letter which the servant girl took up to deceased's roo: when she found her dead was an answer to it. 11., apologises for delay in writing to her, ascribes this ""t, lay to her letter having been mis-sent to a town thre. miles distant from his proper address, and in proof of 1,,t he enclosed the envelope, marked "Mis-sent to Lieutenant Robb took possession of the property of deceased, and immediately inti Mated the melanchle fact to her father and to the young man to who'll 9.4 seems to have been so deeply attached.—North Brit" Daily Mail.

FRANCE.  General Baraguay d.'Hilliers has returned to Paris.  It is said that Tunis sends 10,000 men, infantry' cavalry, and artillery, to the Porte. The Marquis of Clanricarde arrived on Monday in Paris. • The Earl of Carlisle leaves Paris for London to-day. The English and French Governments are still pushing negotiations with Spain and Portugal, ill the hope of inducing those two Governments to furnish a contingent of auxiliaries in the war in the East. As respects Portugal, there will probably be no difficulty in the matter, as she is bound by treaty to furnish a contingent on being called upon by England to do so—England paying, the expenses. Spain is not bound by any such treaty; and hitherto the negotiations do not appear to have led to any good result. Baron James de Rothschild has contributed a further sum of 50,000 f. (2,0001.) to the support cg" his co-religionists at Jerusalem. A great sensation has been created in the Municipal Council of Paris by a project submitted to it by the Government, to the effect that the expenses of the College Stanislaus should henceforth be , defrayed exclusively from the funds of the city of Paris. The members of the council were at first disposed to resisethis new and unjust burden cast on the resources of the city ; but M. Haussemann, the Prefect of the Seine, silenced all opposition bY, announcing that the existence of the council itself depended on its voting the measure. A curious circumstance took place at the Grand Opera on Monday evening. During the latter pail of Meyerbeer's opera of the Prophete, a shot was fired in one of the side boxes. The greatest alarm in" stantly prevailed throughout the house, under the impression that it was an assassination, but it turned out to be a case of suicide. The unfortunate man was a Prussian officer. The latest news from the Danubian province° states that Marshal de St. Arnaud had left Varna for Schumla. Lord Raglan remained at Varna.
