ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF HOLE. The culprit attempted suicide at Bedminster Police. station, shortly after his arrival there, by trying to strangle himself with his handkerchief, lie was prevented however, and on his temovAl to the Bridewell he was carefully gusrded.  thing was orderly. I saw no blood there. When I cams to the station I considered that the prisoner had been drinking freely and was excited. Mr. Owen Jones, M.R.C.S., house surgeon to the Bristol hospital: On Friday night at a little before 12 I was at the hospital ; the body of a woman was brought to the hospital • she was quite dead, and had been so probably aquar:ter of an hour. I was present at the view of the body on Saturday by the coroner's jury and several witnesses. I have made by your direction a careful post mortem examination of the body. There were three bruises on the body, one under the left collar-bone, one on the right shoulder, and one on the lett thigh. I should think its either case a fist would have caused the bruise. On the three inner fingers of the left hand was a cut down to the bone. There were , two cuts in the throat, one about two inches from the point of :he chin, and 5} inches in length, cutting , through the skin and fat and grazing the windpipe; about an inch below this cut was another seven inches in length, cutting through the skin and fat and completely severing the windpipe causing a wound also in the vein on the right side of the throat. She was very well nourished, if anything too fat for perfect health. Tee lungs were filled with dark blood, but othereise quite healthy. The heart was healthy, of the proper weight and quite empty. The liver was enlarged. It did not appear like the liver of a person who had given way to drink. The kidneys were normal in weight, but slighlly diseased by what we commonly call "Bright's disease "—this:was incipient. This might be produced by drinking or °tiler causes. The spleen and brain were healthy. The cause of death was from wounds in the throat. .By in jury man: The stomach

The man, by immense efforts, succeeded in amassing a considerable sum of money. Not long ago he was informed that a legacy of , 5,00,9 f.. had been left him. This piece of gortirie gave him the mortal blow. A profound melancholy seized him, and the .ear of death from hunger haunted him day and night. To avoid this, he stealthily left, his house one night, went into the neighbouring forest, and hung himself to a pine branch. He left a fortune of 100,000 f. At three o'clock on Friday a fashionably dressed young man was seen flourishing his hat on one Of the towers !ef Notre Dame, Paris. He threw it down and then jumped after it. He was picked up quite dead, and so mutilated in thb!.face that it was thought useless to expose thei,body in 'the Morgue, From a passport found on hitn it appwared that his name was Emile-Jean Christian Hubert, born in London.

The :unfortunate gentleman has been, in the habit recently of walking out late at night before retiring to rest, and on Saturday night left his residence for the supposed purpose of taking his usual walk in the neighbourhood of Primrose-hill and Regent's-park. Shortly before two o'clock next morning, a young man named. Payne, on reaching the Albert-road near; the Regent's Canal, waA astonishe.d to see the figure of a. man sitting MI the centre of the iron of the openworked railing of the bridge, with legs hanging over . the water lookin; towards the Zoological Gardens. He was at,the opposite side, and thought at the moment of passing what a foolish and dangerous thing. it was for any person to be sitting in such a position, lie had gone, however, but a few yards further, when he heard a loud splash in the water, and on running round saw the figure he had. seen sitting on the railing had disappeared. He raised an alarm and shouted for the police, and rtta do m n to the towing path, where he saw the be;dy of a. man. floating in the water, but before assistance arrived it had sunk. On the recovery of the body life was found to be °mallet. -----POOLE ELECTION ENQUIRY,  Serjeant Ballautiue on Tuesday addressed the Court for the respoudent ; Mt. Gifford having replied, Mr, Justice Grove gave judgment,. In many of the cases there was no evidence, and no blame was attributable to the sitting member; but his Lordship considered the cases a.gaiLst Mr Aldridge had been proved with respect to time treating on the day of the election. He considered it was understood beforehand, and he consequently declared Mr Waring not duly elected, each party to pay their own costs. . Mr. Wm.

DRUNKEN DURHAM.—Speaking at a tern. penance meeting at Cotsett, Mr. jenkins, general manager of the iron works' said there was soon.soon.drunkenness in the county of Dsrham than in any other county in England during the last twelve months. One in every forty of the population had been convicted of drunkenness. Ho believed thq drinking babits of the county were owing in a great measure to the want of comfortable komes for wprkt big men. He was glad that employent were provialcg houses for their workmen, and he believed thiq would bathe means of keeping many a 'drunkard at home.  OBTAINING MONEY BY FALSE PRETENCES; —M the Guildford Borough Bench, James Burdick, clerk, hoe been charged with obtaining money by false pretences. It appeared from tho evidence of James CoLlyer, an illiterate man,that he had occasion ,f a person to recover a debt of £B. Oa attending the county court the prosecutor was addressed by the prisoner, svho asked to be allowed to look at his plaint note The document was handed to the prisoner, who thereupon said he was clerk to a Mr. Jenkins, a solicitor, and that he weld put the matter right if AI was given to him to pay the hear. ing fees. The proseontor handed this sum to the prisoner, who then asked for 7s. Cd. more for ex. penses. This additional amount was given to Bar. dick, who told the prosecutor he would obtain; judgment and write to him the next day. The pro. seentor then received a letter asking for -£1 to pay the cost of issuing execution. The money was Bent, but the prosecutor hearing no more of the matter, instituted inquiries whiola led to the prisoner's apprehension. It was shown that Bardiok bad not signed judgment or issued execution, and that he was not in the emoloy of Mr. Jerkins. The mayor; who said the ease was an important one, as it affected the interests of the poor and illiterate suitors in the county oourt, committed the prisoner. for trial.  ----- . ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY A Cruip.—Bofore the Cambridge Borough magistrates a little girl, named Anne Blackwell, only 11 years of age, and desorihed on the charge alieet as of no home, but her parents live in the town, was charged with attempt. lag Vt commit suicide. It appears that the poor child has besn dreadfully neglected, being allowed to be out all night, eleeping on doorsteps, and on Sanday last some lads who live near the river' Cam heard that somebody was goisg to dream herself. They oonse. quently went down to the river, and ease the who threatened to break one of the boy's heads with a bidet which elie had in her hand. &he came away from the river, and the boys watched her and 081V7 her sit on the bank, take off one boot, throw her hat and jaoket on the path, and walk into the water. The boys went after her and took her away, and left bee in chasms of a wome.n.

UNEXPLAINED DF.ATH.—Mr. W. J. Payne, the coroner for the Duchy of Lancaster, held an inquiry at the Essex Head Tavern, Essex-street, Strand, Lohdon, respecting the death of a young woman, named Mary Ann Hull, aged 27 veers, alias Grace Thomas, who, it is alleged, committed suicide on the 12th ultimo, by leaping into the river Thames from ' the Victoria Embankment, near Waterloo-bridge. On the names of tho jury being called out, the coroner said that he and the jury had met with extraordinary difficulty in the present case. They had all viewed the body before it was in leered, and the question woe how were they to act in the absence of the foreman Oxenham, now a prisoner. There was no ground for the exhumation of the body, as there was no suspicion of foul play. In order to have the foreman of the jury present before he was sentenced, he wrote to Mr. Cross on the 31st of July, asking for his advice in the matter. On the Ist of August he received a reply from the Home Secretary, stating that be had no power in procuring the attendance of Oxenhatn before the jury under the old statute. Under these circumstances, the coroner said he had only one course to pursue, and that was to rbseherge the jn/7. The Co. had fallen to the. ground, and a -now jnry,eould ao,t, be summoned, and thus the death of the young woteaa woola remain unexplained.

DIPSOMAMIAC ASYLUMS.— Dr. Herd wicket held an inquest at the Coroner's Chum, St. Pennons, London, on the body of Harriet Faulkner. The evidence ot° Dr. Korry, of Itrnrden. road, showed that the deemased Invi ruined her con• stitution at a very early age by the continued and entensive use of alcoholic drinks. The husband told a sad story of the sufferings ho had under:mats to consequence Of the habits of the deceased: On Friday she waft net of doom, Ink came in very ill, went to bed, and died shortly of forwards. The coroner pointed out that in smill a ease as this A would not be honest to rieord the death aa having arisen froust natural causes. The .ease might more properly be termed gradual or slow suicide, and , it showed how very desirable it was that osylucta ' for tonfirmsd or habitual drunkards should he maths hiked in this Country. But the liberty of the sub. ;root was no jealously guarded that there seemed to be a diffionity in getting such places, and he himself was sorry when the bill brought in by Mr. Dalrymple am defeated. He was again very desirous of-point ing out that the asylums established in America ler • the reception and treatment of arankards were sot only nearly self nnoporting, bob were the meaosof metering nearly fifty poneent. of the patiente to their friends entirely weaned from the dreadful habits to whiah thpy wore forma,ly addicted. He felt that in America the people wore quite as jealoast of their liberty as we were here. The husband in this race— and there were hundreds and thousands of snob eases—would have only been too glad taeontrAinte to an saybarn for the support of his wife, in which there would he a chance of recovery. The jury acquiesced in the remarko of the coroner, and returned a verdict that deeessed died from weak heart, brought on by intemperate habits. FaTAL
