MORE TORY PRAISE OF MR. WARLEY.—" Some there may be who, like Mr. Wakley, will surmount the despicable trammels of partisanship, and dare to avow the honest truth, even though it should be complimentary to opponents. Indeed Mr. Wakley's manly and upright acknowledgments, respresenting as he does a large Übe. ral constituency, who may he less prepared to do that strict justice to Sir Robert Peel's Ministry which their Hon. Member's conscientious convictions extort from him, are deserving of all praise. Not that we imagine Mr. Wakley to have desert( d his principles, or to have become a Tory—no such thing—but that, freeing himself ffoin mean party prejudices, he has nobly borne his testimony to the fait-AK:1; and integrity of those to whom on many, points he is still conscientiously opposed. Anything of this sort from the Whigs an .I.ltvealers is of course hopeless ; but, sooner or later. Mr.Va.2;7's honesty will be extensively imitated notwithstanding."— Times. That. praise was bestowed yesterday for Mr. Wakley's exertions of previous nights. Last night the Hon. Member regularly avowed himself Sir R. Peel's champion. To day, of course, more praise will follow. Did the electors of Finsbury send Mr. Wakley to Parliament to, smooth the way for Sir R. Peel ? The Hon. Member seems to suppose, because the nation has lost all confidence in the Whigs, and has been obliged to give them up; that we have no alternative but submission to the Tories. The public hardly adopt that opinion, and are rather resolved, we apprehend, to submit to neither, but to make the Tories submit to them. Mr. Wakley wishes us to submit to the Tories. •  Mr. Waklev held an inquest on Tuesday, on Mr. William Green, a bricklayer, who committed suicide by putting a ladder down a well, and sitting in the water till he was dead. Oo a Juror's observing upon the strangeness of the suicide, Air. Wakley remarked that there were many stranger modes of suicide. He had lately held an inquest on a lady who, standing up, placed her head in a bucket of water till she was drowned; and another on a lady who attempted to cut her throat, but not liking the first incision, she resolved to hang herself; that, however, not suiting her taste, she repaired to Bushy Park, and throwing herself on her face on a wet gravelly walk was suffocated. At another case a gentleman was playing at cards, when he rose from the table, apparently in perfect good humour,and without having shown the slightest symptoms of previous insanity, and, going into the cellar, cut his throat. . Suicides Pervaded all ranks of society, and were greatly oh the increase, but the causes for most of them were quite inexplicable.  A passenger by the St. Germain railroad, the day before yesterday, was seated on the imperial outside one of the waggcns, when, as the train was' passing under a bridge between Asnieresand Nanterre, he stretched out his head, contrary to the express recommendations published by the Company, and, coming in contact with the vault, was instantly knocked off. He fell on the rails, and the shock was so severe that he remained senseless from two till six in the evening. He was carried back to Paris, where he was bled, and there are hopes (..f saving his life. Passengers cannot be too cautious in not exposing their heads or aims outside the vehicles while in motion. Tuesday night, about 11 o'clock, a respectabiT dressed elderly gentleman, about sixty years of age, called at the private-box entrance o Drury-lane Theatre, and Legg,. to be allowed to sit down for a few ininute.s, as he felt ihry 11 he had scarcely entered the door and taken a scat, before be fell 1 back and suddenly expired.
