SUICIDE IN THE REGENT'S CANAL THROUGH THE INFIDELITY OP A HUSBAND.  An inquiry was held at the Black Horse Tavern, Kingsland•rced, by Mr. H. Raffles Wa!thew. the deputycomber last evening, respecting the death of Mrs. Anne Grey, Aged. 48 years, who committed suicide under the following circumstances : Percival Grey. 6, Harris-place, Kinpland-reed, said that he was a bootmaker. He and deceased lived unhappily together for some time past, and sit weeks ago she insisted noon his leaving the house. He did not know the noun of the unhappiness. They had one daughter, aged 20. .4 young woman used to come to the house to bind the boots, and deceased was jealous of her. He had bees familiar with her in his wife's house.  Elisabeth Grey said that the quarrels and the separation arose entirely out of the last witness living with the you; women in question. Last Wednesday evening &cavil was apparently much distressed in mind', and she abed VW,* The nest morning she was not in the house, and on Tuesday she was found dead in the Regent's Canal near the Kinplaed-road bridge. Mr. Waller said that deceased had called at her husband's present house, apparently with a view to a reconciliation. The door was, however, opened by the young women menboned, who was living with Grey. That circumstance seemed to drive deoreawd almost beside herself. The Coroner said that there was not the slightest douSt that deceased committed suicide through the di,gravfd conduct of her husband, but there was no evidence of the fact. An open verdict was therefore returned.  Colonel Colson, who wan deputed by the French Minister of War to examine the state of the cemeteries in which the French who fell at SebAstopol are interred, Las returned to Pails. It is said that he found the cemeteries in a state of the most deplorable rain.. Almost all the monument* were thrown down and profaned. The Russian authorities excused themselves on the ground of the impouibility of discovering the perpetrators of these acts of Vandalism. The French government, it is said, is now de• termined to collect the remains of the brave warriors in one great oesuary, over which a mausoleum is to be erected to their memory. The entire is to be inclosed by a solid wall, and as officer who served in the Crimean war is to appointed to guard it.

Sir C. Cromwell expressed • suspicion that this was one of those CAM in which the real defendant was the corespondent, who put himself forward in the name of the wife in order to throw the code upon the husband.

Mr. Beringer left Penzance by the 9 a.m. train on Sunday morning last as usual, leaving his sister and the servant in charge of the establishment. It appears that the servant left the house about eleven o'clock to go to church, and onzetnralng about 2 o'clock p.m. found the door locked, and could not gain admittance.

SUICIDE OF A NELDLEWOMAN.  Eli:a Farrow, aged 27, who described herself as a waist• coat maker, residing at 52, Commercial-road, Lambeth, was charged before Mr. Barker with attempting to commit suicide, by taking a quantity of sugar of lead, at Centralstreet, St. Luke l• It appeared from the evidence of a police constable that he was paging through Central-street, when be was called to a chemist's shop, and the prisoner was given into hie custody on a charge of attempting to poison herself in the street. He was also handed a paper which had been taken from the prisoner, which contained a portion of a white powder, and which had marked on it, " sugar of lead—poison." He took the prisoner to the station, and acting under the advice of the divisional surgeon he conveyed her tethe hospital. There, the surgeons, after using the stomach pump, said they could not find any traces of poison, and did not believe that she had taken any, but if she bad it must have been removed at the chemists. He next took her to the police-station and charged her with attempting self murder and when the charge was read over to her she did not make any reply. Mr. Barker asked the prisoner if it was really true that she attempted to take away her life. The prisoner, who seemed to treat the matter with Indifference, said she had purchased the poison with the full determination of killing herself, and had taken it not caring one jot for the consequences. The magistrate could do what he pleased with her. Mr. Barker inquired if the prisoner could give any reason for her committing such a foolish act. The prisoner said she had taken too much to drink, and did not like to face her mother while in that state. She was nearly mad.  Mr. Balker addressed the prisoner in very feeling terms upon the folly and sin of attempting self-murder. If she had succeeded in her rash act she would in all probability have rendered her mother and friends very miserable and unhappy for the rest of their lives. If she had no real natural affections around her—if she was lonely and fond of no one in the world—though her heart ached for sins she might have committed—yet it WE very cowardly and unwomanlike of her to attempt to take away her existence. He should remand her to the House of Detention until Monday next, and direct that the chaplain should see her, and he trusted she would profit by his good advice and instruction. In the meantime the friends of the prisoner had better be communicated with, and directed to be present on the day of the remand. The prisoner left the dock in tears. commirrat OF A
