On the preceding night ' she went to Sadler's Wells, and stayed out too late ' to go home ; that she had wandered about the fields till at length she formed the dreadful resolution of self-destruction.—She was sent home to her mother's  residence. Thursday night, about half-past ten o'clock, William Rhoades, Esq. of Fulham, crossing Fulhamfields, was met by a single footpad, who, presenting a pistol, robbed him of his ;noney and watch.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.--Friday mornilt( the fa. mily of Mr. WiMatti-Linton, an old and respectable inhabitant of Usbridie; were thrown into the greatebt distress by the melancholy termination of his existence •by his own hand. The deceased retired to bed at his usual hour on Thursday night, mad at thit time nothing extraordinary appeared in his behavioer. Not coming down to his breakfast at the time he ge. nerally made his appearance on Friday morning, some of the family went up to call him, and foiled him in a most dreadful condition, perfectly.kenseless, and covered with blood issuing from a wound he had indicted in his side with a knife, which lay near him 'on the bed. Surgeons were called in, but they could not render him any assistance ; they discovered that the knife had been forced so violently into the side of the deceased, that the heart was deeply incised and the membranes wounded. The deceased had not been in good health for some time. About six months ago he cut his throat in a dongerous.menner, led would have bled to death had not a sergeon•btem near at hand, who sewed up the wound immediately, and in a short time he recovered from its effects. . A fellow of respectable appearance, on Friday night last, entered the coffee-room of the George Inn, Beraigh, and, with di air of consequence, tailed for some rum and water, with which the waiter supplied him; he then called for the Newspaper, and remained for a length of time reading in one of the boles, till he found an opportunity, when he took a great cost off a clothes-peg behind the door, and left the place. A Gentleman, in the coffemroom at the time, observing the transaction, immediately informed the waiter, who followed him, and overtook him in the street with the coat •on. A watchman was called, and the fellow was taken to the watrh..house.

ISSIN.dTE his Royal Eighness the PUKE of CUMBER4AND,  A base attempt to assassinate his Royal Higl  seas the Duke of CUMBERLAND was made at an early hour this morning, by one of his domestics. According to the report which has reached us, this horrid attack was committed by the Royal Duke's Valet, who, it is said, entered his Master's bed. room about three o'clock in the morning, and endeavoured to stab him in bed With a sword. We understand that he struck two blows at his Royal Highness—the second of which fell upon his wrist, his Royal Highness haring awoke and raised his arm to guard against this barbarous attempt. His Royal Highness then raised himself up, and th 6 Valet withdrew. Ills Royal Highness however came to the door and called for assistance. It was at first thought that robbers had entered the house, and a serjeant's guard was called in.— The serjeant and his men proceeded to search the house, and on coming to the Valet's apartment they found there the perpetrator of this atrocious transaction With his throat cut. It appears that the wretch, on seeing his Royal Highness move,. bad retired to his own room, and immediately de. stroyed himself. The raaor with which he cob. milted the act of suicide was found near him by Serjeant CartawroN. As his Royal High. mess was able to rise and call for assistance, we hope that his wounds arc not of a dangerous na. tare.

MISS PARIS, THE SUICIDE. • The stfement whit)i appeared in a Piper of :atiirday, respecting Otis young lady, was very erroneous. She was the daughter of Monsien. Paats, a French Emigrant of rank, who, together with. his wife and child, was protected by the benevolence and liberality of Mr. PEARCE, 'Member for Northallertoti. her father has been dead some years : her mother died lately. Nias Pitts was placed by this gentleman in a respietable school near Brunswick-square, and one evening at the Foundling formed an acquaintance with a gentleman of the name of , Jones, a very respectable young man, sersing la the Navy. !laving found oat his lodgings, without invitation on his part, she eloped to him in the dead of night.—He received her. but respecting her situation, and with a tenderness which is creditable to him, restore I her to her ri.r.nies.. Shortly afterwards be visited in the family, made propo.als of marriage; was accepte.l by Mr. Pea, c • ; and, in his presence, and by his co -sent as her guardian, he was married to Mika Paris. Some sottlement, rigout WI. per animal, was made by Mr. Pearce upon thk young lads. It is nut true that Mr. Jones had assumed n false character. Ile was in the Navy, and the son of n wealthy and respectable arms-clothier. lie took his wife to his father's house, who received her with parental attention, and ()tiered to contribute every thing to her happiness. But such was the unhappy indiscretion of this yotmg woman, that she soon quarrelled w ith her husband's fatally, mud obliged him to remove her to lodgings, either, in Camden Town or Edgeware-road. They lised here about a mouth; when, having r^ason to he dissatisfied with her extravagtmce and conduct, he caused her to be watched, one evening, out of the house, and she Was trac-d, in company with a young oßker, whose arm she appears to have seized hold of casually in the street, to a notorious house. In these circumstances, Mr. Jones proceeded with remarkable tenderness; but, upon taxing his wife with her toll ¶esity, she made no justification, acknowledged it without reserve or. hesitation; protested ttrr haired ttal contempt of her husband, slighted his pro&red conditional forgiveness, eloped from his house, anJ immediately a cut upon the town. 11cr pr .stitu,ion was undisgu sed and pronsis,•uous : she became with respect to persssnal virtue wholly abandoned, and she was compelled, verl lately, to taLe refuge in an hospital.
