CRIME.  A BRISTOL young man named Lovell, forbidden his lady love's house by her father, hung himself by his handkerchief on the knocker of his sweetheart's door. The old man cut him down and gave him into the custody of the police, and he is now an in-patient in the infirmary. AT Liverpool, on Saturday, before the Recorder, John Aitken, formerly assistant acting-manager to Mr. Carl Rosa, at the Liverpool Court Theatre, pleaded guilty to falsifying his accounts, and was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. The prisoner's defalcations amounted to about £6OO, and this deficiency, he alleged, was largely due to him having lent money to another person connected with the theatre.  SKTERAL suicides are reported from Monte Carlo, , during the past week, as the result of losses at the gaming tables. A Hungarian gentleman is reported to have stabbed himself, and an Italian nobleman was found hanging to a tree. A DARING robbery was discovered on the arrival of the midday down train at Sittingboutne on Friday, when a bag of money, containing about AlOO, was found to have been taken from the guard's van. The money was in course of transit from Victoria to the officials at Queenborough Pier Station of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, as their salary for the week, and other expenses. LAST week, a man named Metcalfe, landlord of the Red Lion Inn, St. James's-street, Brighton, shot his wife, who was found in a pool of blood on the landing up-stairs. In an upper room Metcalfe was discovered quite dead, with a revolver lying close by him. Metcalfe, it is said, was in pecuniary difficulties. Mrs. Metcalfe was shot in three places, and died in the course of an hour or two. An inquest was held and the jury found that Metcalfe killed his wife and destroyed himself while of unsound mind, the evidence on the latter point tending to show that, though sane at other times, Metcalfe was not responsible for his actions when under the influence of drink.  SOME additional details of a rather startling character are furnished by a correspondent of the Globe respecting the Monte Carlo railway accident. He asserts that the number of deaths was certainly not less than sixty, and that while during the daytime the removal of the dead was delayed as much as possible, at night the bodies, heavily weijited, were secretly carried out to sea in boats. . _ .  AT Live;pool Police-court on Friday, George Dewar, labourer, was charged with causing the death of Mark Williams, a labourer. The men were quarrelling in a court, and took off their coats to tight. They had not fought long when Dewar, it was alleged. struck Williams on the breast, and the latter found he had been stabbed, He was taken to the infirmary, and died there in a few minutes.—The prisoner was remanded. THE (lying deposition of Victor Eughlund, a Swede, was taken on Friday at the Liverpool Southern Hospital. Eughlund, with several of his fellow countrymen, was on his way to America, vifi Liverpool. A quarrel rose late on Friday night in a boarding-house where they were staying, in the course of which one of the Swedes drew a knife and plunged it into Eughlund's breast. The knife penetrated the lung, and when the injured man was taken to the hospital his case was pronounced hopeless.
