MADAGASCAR.  REPORT OF THE FRENCH CONSUL. PARIS, JULY 7. The official report of the French Consul at Tamatave, dated May 15, has been published to-day. This report explains that the cause of the political revolution in Madagascar was the rivalry between the nobles and Nenamaso. The young men who, at the accession of King Radama, took power and monopolised all favours, suggested to the King measures disapproved of by the people. They were accused of injustice, of being open to corruption, and great immorality. Under their influence the King published a law authorising duels, and even combats of tribe against tribe, and village against village, without any other formality than the consent of the two parties, thus proclaiming civil war, and furnishing a pretext for hostilities. The officers and principal inhabitants begged of the King to recall this law, who, however, refused, and the preparations for the conflict then began.  The French Consul assembled all his fellowcountrymen, and the English Consul wished the Methodist missionaries to take a similar course, but they did not respond to his invitation.  The King, having again refused to revoke the law, the people, slaves, and soldiers assembled in the public places to search for the 33 Individuals belonging to the King's court, who had been proscribed by the conspirators-11 were killed by the multitude. While this was going on negotiations were entered into with the King, who asked mercy for the unfortunate men remaining, who, he promised, should bo exiled for life. This wa refused by the conspirators, who demanded that the guilty should undergo perpetual imprisonment in chains. The King would not at first comply with this demand, but after much parleying ended by accepting it.  The following day the King was assassinated, and the Council proclaimed Queen Robodo, announcing that the King, disconsolate at the loss of his friends, had committed suicide. The Queen accepted the Constitution, which stipulates, among other things, that she shall not drink strong liquors, and that the right over life and death belongs to the Council. It also abolishes the Tanquin, and maintains religious liberty.  The Prime Minister informed M. Laborde that he had sent orders to the Governors on the coast to protect the whites.

MADAME TUSSAUD.S.--A full length model of Sir John Lawrence, the newly-appointed Governor-General of India, may be seen at Madame Tussaud's ilistorical Gallery in Baker-street; and in the Chamber of Physiognomy is a model of Hunt, who recently poisoned his wife and two children in a cab, and who afterwards committed suicide by poisoning gRhE A iraselu *— On tho morning of the sale—or the attempted ted sale—about half-an-hour before the official arrival of the auctioneer—a little crowd was gues that were nailed upon green-baize always collected on Ludgate-hill turning over the fluttering leaves of the cat& boards at the doorway, or looking at the great picture with was displayed so as to catch the eye of passers-by at th which the trap was baited on that particular occasion, and which ogle window in front. The greatest part of this crowd consisted of a number of middle-aged men, who were made up to play a part in such a manner, that they ought not to have deoeived a child, A ragged-edged yellow collar on a starch-caked yellow shirt, a high black stock worn threadbare at the sides, a well brushed thin black dress coat, and rather shiny black trousers that would bear no violent exercise, a pair of mended Blucher boots, and a pair of ragged cotton gloves, is not thecostumo usually worn by wealthy collectors of art. Yet these were the highly polished men who were supposed to be regardless of money when a Rubens or a Corregio came in their way, and who, if not investing for themselves, were the confidential agents of Lord Mumblepeg, a devoted buyer of pictures, who was prevented by paralysis from attending personally at the sales. Poor wretches; they looked with their clean-shaven, melancholy faces, as if the slightest whispered invitation to a substantial dinner at a snug warm City tavern would have thrown them off their balance, and have caused them to fly, like a cloud of swallows, from the barren feast of paint. Inside the auctiontrap was a sprinkling of eager confederate dealers ; the four or five porters, who were probably "junior partners," and who looked like prizefighters ; and the usual number of "picture agents." As soon as a promising stranger entered the room, it was the business of one of 'these latter men to fasten on him, and to explain the beauties and defects of the collection under sale. It must always be delish a man of refinement, to have such agreeable guides at his elbow, and to overlook their flavour of onions, tebacc?, °n(l stale clothes, in admiration of their intense appreciation of tful to art.

SUICIDE OF THE MURDERESS.  BATH, Tuesday Evening.--I have just returned from the contemplation of a most melancholy sight —the corpses of three children and their mother, who lie at the George Inn, Bathampton, a village about three miles from this city. The children were yesterday drowned by their mother, the unhappy woman herself having afterwards committed suicide. The facts of the shocking affair, so far as could be gathered from the parties present, were that the deceased woman, who was about 36 years of age, was the wife of a man named Coles, who was about 20 years her senior, and they lived with their five children in apartments at No. 2, Galloway-buildings in this city. Formerly they were in good circumstances, and about four years ago they resided at Larknall, a suburb of Bath; but thence, about four years ago, they went to Bristol, and took the Ring of Bells public-house, Thomas-street, which turned out an unfortunate speculation, and three or four months ago they returned to Bath, and have since subsided upon the sale and pawning of their wearing apparel and other property. This reverse of circumstances appears to have affected the mind of the wife, who was a sensitive woman, and she on several occasions had said to neighbours that she could not endure their state of penury, and should drown herself and children. On Sunday moaning a district visitor who called at the house saw her forlorn condition, and advised her to go with her family to the workhouse, as her husband is incapacitated from infirmity from following his trade as a carver and gilder. Yesterday about halfpast 12 she left her home taking with her the three younger children, two boys and a girl. John, the eldest of the three, was six years old; the next, Matilda, was about three; the other an infant in arms. All were very fine children. They called at the Folly public-house on the banks of the Kennet and Avon canal, and having rested a short time, during which the mother partook of half a pint of beer, they proceeded along the towing-path towards Bathampton. On reaching a secluded spot, where the canal is spanned by a stone bridge, it is supposed she first threw the children into the water, and then jumped in herself. Indeed, a milkman in the meadows adjoining heard a cry of "Don't 'ee, mother," and then " Murder;" and a lady in a villa at some distance heard the same sounds, and saw a child running from a woman on the towing-path, but they became hid behind a clump of trees, and she thought it was merely a mother chastising her child. It is now supposed that she had thrown her two younger children into the water, and was pursuing the eldest for the same purpose, as on the milkman reaching the canal a few minutes after, he saw the woman in the water, and an alarm being raised, and drag poles secured, she was dragged out quite dead. The canal was dragged for some distance further, and ultimately the three children were recovered, but life was extinct.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN THE POLICE CELL.--Sarah Ann Field, a respectably-dressed female, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with attempting to commit suicide in the police cell. It appears that, on the previous afternoon, the prisoner went to Sergeant Brown, of the T division, and said she wanted to give herself up for having absconded from the Whetstone Institution, and stolen several articles of clothing. Sho referred to a gentleman who knew her, and Sergeant Brown took her to the gentleman's house, and she suddenly became almost insensible. She was then taken to the Middlesex Hospital, it being supposed she might have taken some poison, but the surgeon stating that she was suffering from the effects of drink, she was taken to the Marlborough-mews Station, and some time after she was locked up. Breach, 199 C, on going to the cell, found she had tied a pocket handkerchief so tightly round her neck as nearly to destroy herself. Sergeant Glass, the acting inspector, then placed a constable to watch her to see that she made no attempt on her life. Mr. Mansfield asked what place the Whetstone Institution was ?  Sergeant Brown said he believed it was au institution for unfortunate females.  Prisoner said she was a servant out of place, and left the institution last Saturday. Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner for a week. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF A YOUNG DRESSMAKER,— Virginie Garet, a young French dressmaker, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with attempting to commit suicide by drowning herself in the Serpentine. Stephen Greaves, a labouring men, deposed to seeing the young woman in the Serpentine yesterday afternoon, and with assistance he succeeded in getting her out. In answer to the charge, the young woman said she was in distress, and that induced her to do it, Mr. Mansfield remanded her for a week.  It appears the young woman has only been in this country two months, and that she has been engaged a part of that time at two \Vest-end dressmakers, but having no work, and being in great distress, she was, induced to make the rash attempt.
