FOR THE. SUN.  SUICIDE.  Mtt. 1 inlva-44u a►► age like the present,. when the mind is enlarged by wisdom, and Strengthened by experience—when gothic barbarism and superstitious ignorance are little known but by name, it is devoutly to be wished that our law books should be defccated.of every thing that disgraces them. Happily, on a late 'occasibn, the appeal of death by an individual for murder is expunged, and the verdict of a Jury, in the name of the DING, is made definitive. , 'rhe example is merciful, and ought to be followed in cases of obvious insani(k., Who can read the circumstances of a son that shot his father, and immediately after himself, and say that it proceeded from malice aforethought, 'or that it amomited to the black dye of deliberate ,murder? The fad, is evidence of lunacy, which, trr the honour of modern law, founded in pure .reason, has long been so considered. Ease happened:. a.' few years back equally:sh►ocking► A tailor in the Rolls-buildings, sitting with his wife and two children, took up a ittlife, walked to his lookingilass, pulled• off ibis neckcloth, turned round, and seized his wife-by the chin,. cut her throat, and Men his'own, for which an inquest jury found him a Lunatic, unlike the verdict in Maddox-street, which obliged the Coroner to order a savage burial of 'the suicide's body, when out of the reach of human punishment; savage indeed in a public street. So horrid a sentence and execution, known only in the darkest times, reflects shame, disdain, and censure on the practice, and demands its abolition in times enlightened, together with the trial by, ordeal,, or fire and water, by battler or single combat, which are now obsolete, as a pretended but false appeal to. the Divine Spirit, W favour the innocent, or condemn the guilty. Such an appeal is an insult to God,. which ignorance, more than, brutal, cannot excuse;. and blessed be the amending hand that corrects and destroys it.  AN 01,1)

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT AT PARIS.]  PAitrs, Nor. 10.—The pamphlet of Rovigo appears to be at this moment the universal subjact of conversation, and, us might be expected, has excited no ordinary sensation. The pointed attack on Talleyrand has produced counter publications, some of which, though not positively bearing his name, are understood to come direct from his pen. These will no doubt he followed by a reply from Rovigo, and hence there will be a paper war on the authenticity of the statements contained in the pamphlet of the Duke, and we shall soon see the truth broughtforth in one shape or other. A formal intimation is made to Rovigo, that his presence is to be in future dispensed with at the Tuileries. Talloyrand, however, still is permitted to make his bows there, and has solicited of the King that the matter may come under the cognizance of the Peers, that truth may be developed, and who is the particular person to whom the serious charge ought in justice to be directed. Rovigo in his state of banishment lived long at. Smyrna, and also the son of David, the painter, who fell under the displeasure of the Government of France, and who is there at present, at Sehaalmas. Count Hulin, President of the Court-martial on the Duke 4'Enghien, has published a statement of facts. if his man acted a conspicuous part al one time in storming the Bastile, and has lately been struck blind. Castaign's fate, is now sealed. The speech of the Attorney-General was a strong and masterly piece of eloquence. Roupel atrtl Berryer, his advocates, made an able defence. On I'donday night, at 11 o'clock, the Jury, by a majority of 7 to 5, found the Doctor Not guilty of the act of poisoning Hy ppolite, but Guilty of poisoning his brother Auguste. lle was sentenced to be gullotined. lie addressed the Court in a few words, protesting his innocence, and declared he was not afraid of being conducted to the scat.fold. Few trials have given rise to greater specnlation on the guilt of Castaign. His picture is to-day exhibited in all the print-shops of Paris. —A young man threw himself out of the window of a house in one of the principal streets here, nod was killed, in consequence of having lost his all at one of those wretched gambling houses, here! The number of suicides in Paris are incredible, and 'hardly a day passes without some miserable spectacle stretched out in the

SUICIDE OF MRS. MARIA DELL.  The Lord Mayor has received a letter (of which the following is a copy) respecting the death of the tihove.narned unfortunate lady. We Dublin Freeman's Journal) therefore give it insertion, as it may, in all probability, relieve her friends from anxiety as to wbat has become of her "PART! OcT. 6, 1823. "My Lord—By desire of his Excellency Sir Chad." t•:Heart, I enclose .a letter to your Lordship, stating the suicide of Mrs. Maria Dell, thinking it possible that you may find out some of her friends to make it known to them. " I saw her just before she left Paris, when she stated to me that she was of Dublin, and had been going to Bordeaux to see her sister, but was unable to proceed. She appeared to be about 70 years of age, and was destitute of money, havin,r, as she said, lost her pocket-book. Her manner was very odd, and inclined to mental derangement. I persuaded her to re- I turn to Ireland, and advanced her sufficient money for that purpose. She left Paris, and at the place where she slept •th first night, she was found in the morning dead, with her throe., cut. " Should your Lordship be able to communicate this Intel. ligence to any of her friends, you will probably relieve them from some anxiety as to what has become of her. have the honour to be, " Your Lordship's faithful end obedient servant, " EDWARD FORSTER, " Chaplain to the British Embassy at the Court of Frames. " To the Right lion. the Lord Mayor of Dublin." At en inn in the commune of Fresh.  The Committee of the Foreign Stock Exchange met yesterday on the subject of tie Spanish Bonds, but came to the detertnimation that they could not with propriety interfere on behalf of the holders in making any representation to Government.  ..... Th© Fury and Reda discovery ships arrived off Gravesend on Tuesday afternoon, and proceeded directly to Galleon's Reach, where their glans and ammunition would be removed, and then the ships proceed to Deptford. The number of persons to congratulate them on their arrival was immense. We are gratified to learn that Captain Panto' was much better last night. lie lost 20 ounces of blood yesterday, by which he was greatly relieved, and his medical attendants are now of opinion that a few days will place him entirely out of danger. Tux I.lYr.—Dr. SOWWERING discovered the j'erarnen centrals in the human retina. But Dr. KNOX, in a communication to the Edinburgh Philosophical Journal, now states that the foramen centrale and accompanying fold of the retina exist in the class of reptiles, Lizards,' though not in all. The appearances are more developed in man. MAD Doe.—Yesterijay a mod dog was killed in the Pancras-road; the animal, it was supposed, Came from 13attle•bridge. Near Pancras Church it bit a young girl in the uncle. Immediately an alarm was given, when a general pursuit took place ; several attempts were made to shoot him, but without effect, when on nearing the turnpike, a coal-porter, wim had a shovel in his hand, struck him a blow with it, and held the sharp edge on his neck till life wax extinct. The child was taken to a doctor's.

She became 'a most agreeable inmate of the haute the first fortnight, since which she changed to a state- of dejection and melancholy. She received frequent litters, but the only time she went out was on Saturday last, when it appeared she purchased a quantityof opium. To indulge her, a daughter of Mrs. M. slept with her ; on Saturday night she was in a MOSt melancholy state, and preferred sleeping alone. Ilia manner excited suspicion, and abolit an hour after she had gone to }red, the servant of the house called as usual to take sway the candle, which was out. Suspicions were then verified ; the unhappy woman had taken a phial of opium, and she was in a senseless state.—. Powerful emetics were administered by Mr. Hatliway, a surgeon, and life witi preserved. The cause of the rash at. tempt was disclosed on Monday before a Magistrate The unfortunate woman was. a French teacher at a very-. reputable Ladies' Seminary, a few miles from London, (in Kent), when a young man of family seduced her af. fections, find she gave herself up to his honour and protection at the Christmas vacation, under the promise of marriage. They took an excursion to Southampton, where the ruin of the unhappy female was effected- With a 51. note he scent nyLondon, promising to loth* - her in two or three days: but in a fortnight he wrote to state that he was that day about to sail for Italx, through embarrased- circuenstances._ Supposed pregnaney.t loss-of 'character, and being pennylesa, attain debt,' drove the unfortunate woman to distraction.

TAYLOR. This was an action on a proMissory note for NM, which was tried before Mr. Justice Bayley at the last Assizes for Northum. berland. The payee of the note, named Younghusband, died by his own hand, and the CorOiler's inquest terminated in a %rot.diet offilo de se. The note, -with ail the property, of the deceaseti, then became forfeited to the Crown, but themstrument,, as is usual, was granted to kprirty having an equitagt, who brought TIN action uptitelt by virtue of the grim. ' The defendant'pleaded several pleas, among Which was a plea of the Statute of Limitations, and a denial of the forfeiture and of the grant; and at the trial the issue on the 'first was found for the iiefendant, and other issues for the plaintiff A ruie having been granted to• Mr. Scarlett on the part of the plaintiff for setting aside the verdict on the Statute of Limitations, on the ground that that act did not run against the Crown. Mr. Serjeant Cnosa now moved, on the part of the defendant, for a rule to show cause why the judgment •on the issues found for the plaintiff should not be arrested, or a new-trial had upon them, in case the verdict on the plea of the Statute of Li." notations should be set aside. Ile contended that the forfeiture of the note to the Crown did not appear, because all the dreamstances of the suicide were not recited om whirls the finding pro. seeded. lie objected that, as the forfeiture took place in the late reign, the right of his present Majesty to make the grant did not appear ; and he argued that the grant was void, because it was made under the sign manual instead of the great seal. The COURT granted a rule to show cause. The CounT was occupied in hearing motions for new trials, of no public interest, till nearly two o'clock, when the Judges rose to go to the Exchequer Chamber.
