ATTEMPT TO MURDER THREE CHILDREN.—The neighbourhood of the Hampstead-road has been thrown into a state of painful excitement in consequence of a woman, named Chapman, having committed suicide after having attempted the lives of her children. She had been married about six years to a stonemason, and lived at No. 19, Henry-street. She had three children of the respective ages of 4f years, 2i years, and 1 year. For the last fortnight she had been in the want of almost the common necessaries of life, in consequence of her husband having been out of work for some months, and had asked her landlady (Mrs. Davies) to procure for her a letter for the hospital. Oa Saturday last a letter was procured, and a lady called at the house with it. Upon knocking at the door of the room inhabited by was heard within.

GLADSTONE."  -. , . The subscriptions to the 5 per cent. Prussianidati of £4,600,000 at 95 have exceeded the required total bronly £281,250. ' i DESPERATE SlllClDE.—Yesterdiry evening an inquest was held at the Greyhound Tavern, Compton-street, Soho, on the body of r. Wm. Bucknell, aged 50, a patent cord manlifacturer, who had destroyed himself by cutting his throat and by a deep incision in his abdomen. The landlord of the tavern stated that the deceased lived next door to him, and that on Thursday morning he was called into the house; where he found the deceased lying in his nightshirt, with two gashes in his throat, and his bowels protruding from a large wound, inflicted with a paper-cutting knife, 10 inches long. He had seen the deceased the preceding night, when his manner seemed unusual. It appeared from the evidepcc of the widow and of other witnesses that the -dece.fist4d had been deranged and confined in a lunatic asylum. "I.& coroner, Mr. IVa kley, r_emarked that it was the most' desperate case of suicide, with one exception, that he had known in his twenty years' experience, and in that one case the suicide had cut his intestines to pieces with a pair o sc . f issors The jury returned a verdict of temporary , insanity.

THE MURDER AT WESTBROMWICH.—Yesterday an inquest was held at the Royal Exchange, in Westb reeiwieh, on the body of John Corbett, the miner, who, it will be remembered, after murdering his wife in that town on' the night of the 25th of last month, cut his own throat in a most frightful manner, using for the purpose the knife with which he had just before taken his wife's life. Against Corbett the coroner's jury who investigated the_ cause of his wife's death, returned a verdict of wilful murder. He was then lying at th© house of a relative, and was not removed to gaol, but police-officers tended upon him night and day as his nurses until the time of his death, which occurred on Tuesday. The evidence adduced was similar to that given at the inquest on the woman. The surgeon, Mr. W. J. Kite, after reading the depositions, was decidedly of opinion that Corbett, when he cut his wife's and his own throat, was not insane ; on the contrary, he thought that the evidence of what he did before the murder, and his attempts to strangle himself afterwards, showed that he was a determined suicide. Evidence was then given to show that four days before the murder he showed his wife, at midnight, a large knife, saying, "Do you see this," and adding, "we have both got to die." The jury, first, after some considerable consultation, were (being 14 in number) 10 for a verdic of fqo de se, and four for one of insanity ; after calling in the aid of the coroner, however, they decided, 18 for the former verdict and one for the latter.

THE SUICIDE OF A FOREIGNER AT  CHELTENHAM.  The attempt made upon his own life by Baron de Chastellain, at the Eight Bells, Commercial Hotel, on Thursday last, the particulars of which have already appeared in The Sun, has terminated fatally, and an inquest has been held on the body. The evidence then taken corroborates in every particular the account previously given of the melancholy event. Deceased shot himself in the chest with a pistol while lying in bed. • Mr. Peter Skeolan, photographic artist, stated that deceased had made proposals to him for the hand of his daughter, but on account of his (the Baron's) affairs being in an unsettled state he refused his consent, and ultimately forbade any intimacy whatever, although he admitted he had allowed the deceased and his daughter to correspond with each other. Deceased had before attempted suicide by poison. Mr. Peter Paul Skeolan, jun., said he saw the deceased after he shot himself, and asked him the reason he did it. He replied because he had no position and could not live as a gentleman. Letters written by the deceased before he shot himself were produced and read. They were as follows :  "MISS MARY JANE SlCEOLAN,—Circumstances are such, dearest Mary Jane, that I cannot open quite my heart as I could wish. You may perhaps, take several things as reproach, but I will not have the slightest reproach to make to you. All that I have to say is, that I have loved you immensely. lam unfortunate, Mary, but don't forget me or my memory. I have weeped tears of blood for you. I will watch over you ; I will protect you against every wave. I shall give you great pain, but forgive me. I had a beautiful dream : I did pray to God, and ask him to help me, and not to forsake me. I had a vision. I saw our blessed Virgin, with the Holy Child Jesus in her arms. He said to me, ' Thou halt suffered enough, come to me.' I said, How can I come without committing a crime ?' He said, 'lf thou wilt conic and art anxious to come to me, you know the way, thy sins are forgiven thee.' And I said, ' I shall do so.' In those hoops when you have nothing to pre-occupy you, think of me, dearest angel. If it is true that our soul has the power to appear to those most beloved on earth I shall do so to you ; do not be frightened, and I shall see you as a friend.—PHlLlßEnt DE
