DAY OP SUICIDES.  (Frost Gelegessi of yesterday.)  Several somewhat singular attempts at suicide were made yesterday (Monday). An elderly man flung himal( headforcmost from the roof of an omnibus in the Rue de (Lento de and severely iejured himself ; he was recornised se an inhabitant of the neighbourhood, and it appeared that he had attempted .elf-destruction from • diaapisointment in love.—A lire was discovered in the wart of • house in the Ruo St. /AMR, and when some pssaoea went :co the spot they found the door cloud. A foreihis entrance taring been effected, the occupier of the genet, a footrun to • gentleman residing in the house, woe seen lybig in the bed In the midst of flames. The con&potion was promptly eltingulahed, and the man, who was dreadfully buniecl, was taken to the hospital. It appeared that be had conceived a violent pumice foe his waitress., bad made • declaration to her, and had been indignantly repelled; whereupon he had determined to commit auricle and idler thinking until be was almost stupefied,had se; fire to his bed. An artillery soldier, on • visit to by brother at Vaugirard, having been rejected by a young woman for whom he had conceived a union, locked himself in his room with some pane of charcoal, end then threw himself on the bed to await death. Hut he forgot to close a hole In the door, and the air coming through it fanned the charcoal into • blare, which set flee to the bed curtains. The eight of the flames dissipated the man's ideas of suicide, and jumping up he attempted to leave the room ; but he had locked himself In, and could not bad the boy. He shouted for help, the door wee forced open, and he was rescued. He wee only slightly burned, but the fire could not be eitingniahed until it had dose considerable damage.—A water-ourier, living in the Faubourg Montmartre, having learned of the bankruptcy of a man to whom he had lent the eavings of his life, wee reduced to despair, and he went to the fortifications at La Chapelle, and threw himself into the fusee. He was found by • passer-by lying in • deplorable state, and wu conveyed to the hospital - In addition to these attempts at snick* two cases of self-destruction occurred yesterday: one was of a German workman, who hanged himself in his lodgings In the Rue du Temple; the other was of a literary man res., id.Z in the Rue d' Ender, who tot his throat in a delirium by a nervous malady.  The Milan and Venice railway wee inaugurated on the 12th. . _ _  -- --The telegraphic intelligence received from India is considered favourable to the British ranee by the Debate, which expresses itself in the following terms The general state of things remains doubtless the same; but it most not be overlooked that, in the respective positions of the ballgerenta the simple status quo to en advantage for England, end that time silo fights her battles. The date of the 17th September gives the largest importance to the despatch, for it is amends' to remember that the greater portion of the reinlon:entente from England see expected to an In to India by the end of that month. On the snivel of the latter th Mangle will be placed on en entirely fresh footing, and win: we have no doubt, result in the decisive succor of England. This date, we repeat, gives to the sews we have received • particular eigritleanie and a real importance." THE Ray. DR.
