SHOCKING OCCURRENCE IN ONE OE THS PEOPI.E.4 PALMS, MANCHRBTiI.—On Monday afternoon, a married woman, named Hannah Normanton, whilst walking in Pissl.park, Salford, one of the new places of recreation for the reeking claws of Manchester and Salford, attempted to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river Irwell, which forms the eastern boundary of the park. She was cl eculed by the lodgo•keeper, who gave an alarm, and Mr. Gibbons, head gardener in the park, was arnlngst these who ran to assist in rescuing the woman. Gibbons tedfearlessly and unhesitatingly into the water, and hold of the woman as she floated by her elodses on the surface, and it was thought would readily mooed in bringing her ashore. Nonnautou, howevkr, absent instantly seised him with a convulsive grasp by the tack of the neck and forced his head under water, and soon afterwards he sank. Sonic time elapsed before either of bodies were recovered, but that of the woman was brought ashore first, and being carried to the Salford Pisilry animation was soon restored. The body of Gibbons was not recovereduntil after Mr. David Chadwick, the borough treasurer, had offered a reward of a sort reign to any one who found it, and then some men who had held aloof in consequence of the river being known to he deep there, and to have a very treacherous bottom, sprang in and ultimately brought it ashore. Tho most skilful means were used to restore animation in vain—the body had been under water half an hour. Mr. Gibbons was highly esteemed by the Park Committee and all who knew him. He has left a widow and three children unprovided fur, and an attempt is making to raise a subscription for them. The woman through whose rashness his life has been sacrificed had Men afflicted with insanity, and tact September was in the workhouse, her husband paying 3s. ed. per week for her. In December she was discharged, and had since been admitted an out-patient of the dispensary. She has been asked why she threw herself into the river, and her answer was, that 611411 was seised with a swimming of the head and could not blip it. Tux MniTART

SUICIDE AT AN HOTEL—Yesterday morning a determined act of suicide was committed by Mr. James Carrell, printer and stationer, of No. 282, Strand, at Miller's, the Surrey, Sussex, and Commercial Hotel, Blackfriarsroad. The deceased had been involved in considerable pecuniary difficulties, so much so as to reduce him to a low and desponding state, notwithstanding which his immediate friends never apprehended that he would be Guilty of the crime of terminating his own existence, although he had frequently expressed a fear of fairing the difficulties that surrounded him. It appears that about twelve o'clock on the night of Wednesday In celled at the hotel, and, having entered the coffee-room, called for a glass of brandy and water, and expressed his intention of sleeping there that night, arid engaged a bed, at the same time making a special request that the " boots," or porter, should call him at half-past eight in the morning, ash* had an appointment to attend. He was shown to his room by the chambermaid, who delivered to him his candle, and left him appaready calm. In the morning, as requested, the porter knocked at his door, which was found to he fastened, several times without receiving any answer. The fact was communicated to Mr. Miller, who at once forced open the door, when, to the horror of the inmates, they sew the deceased suspended by a rope from the fuot-rail or cornice of the bedstead, dead. Mr. Miller at once despatched one of his servants to Mr. Tebbitt's surgery, a few doors from the hotel. Mr. Tebbitt arrived immediately; finding the deceased still suspended, he at once cut him down, but all attempts at restoring animation were hopeICPP, Mr. Tebbitt being satisfied that the deceased had been dead several hours. 'f he Iced had not been slept in ;on the counterpane was a piece of new cord, evidently cut from that with which deceased had banged himself, the cord being an ordinary bed-cord, and but little doubt could be entertained that the deceased on closing the door of his room had at ones proceeded to cony his deadly intention into effect, he being entirely dressed when found suspended. Information was given to the police, arid on the hotly being searched several bill-heads with his name and business. as 61/14) several letters and memorandums, were found in his pocket., with a gold pencil-ease, tooth-pick, and about 9 or 10 shillings in silver.

CIANT.—ACTION ON • Potter 01 INBUN•A'rets. Mr. E. James and Mr. Hawkina appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. H. nut, with whom were Mr. Peteredorff and Mr. Needham, repreeented the defendant. •Thia wee an action brought by throe of the directors of the Commercial and General lare Assurance Company, to recover the sum of 2001., advanced to a pesos Galled Keicht, who was ea rant of the *Wit's Mrs in Beath •n~  mirk. He applied, on the 16th May, 1850, to borrow the, sum of 2001. from the company, to Le iecured by the dr,. fondant personally, and by a policy of insurance upon his own life for 001.. On the day prie..ding the 16•.'n May Knight applied to burrow a sum of strawy from ',tie Merchants' and Tradesmen's Mutual Life A'aurance So'eh ty, he being at tli.it time in COLlklikr4v4 embarrassed circumstances ; an 4, in answer to lite rtuestions proposed by the latter dice, admitted that Ws mother had died insane, at the age of 64, and that his elder brother bad also died insane at the age of 45. There was no direct question in the proposal made by the Commercial and Omeral Lily Amirante Company, as to whether the proposer or any of his family had been insane; but there was the usual question of whether he knew " any other circumstances calculated to make an insurance unusually hazardous by shorteniag life." To this Knight had replied that he did not. Some months afterwarGs he was found drowned between Putney and Wandsworth, his hat and pocket-book being deposited on the ' ' bank, and the inference was that be had committed suicide. _ .  Defendant pleaded that the ales was excluded from the benefits of the policy, which bad lapsed by the death of Knight; but they contended that that was vitiated in consequence of the suppression by him of the fact of insanity hawing existed in the family, which materially increased the risk of insurance, and which he was bound to have communicated.  The learned Judge, in summing up, put it for the jury to say whether they believed that Knight had suppressed the fact mentioned, knowing that he ought to reveal it, in order to avoid a higher rate of insurance, in which case it would be a fraudulent concealment.  The jury retired, and after dae consideration, returned a verdict for the defendant.
