St. Clair Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, held an inquiry in St. Ann's vestry-room, Deanstreet, Soho, relative to the death of William Mold, who committed suicide after having attempted the life of a young woman with whom be had cohabited, the attempted murder and suicide being committed almost in the pprseeessnsose of deceased's wife, and at his residence. Elizabeth Mold, the wife of the decried man, said, " I live MII2, King-street. The deceased was my husband ; he was fiftyone years of age, and a public-house broker. He had several times threatened to destroy himself, and generally had poison by him. He sometimes threatened to do so owing to peatwary pressures. He has been in a lunatic asylum have been married to him three years, and pre. Timis to that time he had twice attempted suicide with laudanum. On one occasion he took too much. He weaned of eiberhabits. In 18b4 he receivedaninjury which affected his brain.

THE BOMBAY MAIL.  PESTH, Dec. 21.  (nos ous owe coaassroinrisr.) FRAITIEFORT, Dac. 20. This city still remains very dull. Where a dosen carriages were in former years to be seen waiting before the doors of the shops, none are now visible, and. ultimately many of these places of business will be oompelled to close their doors. The occurrences of every day increase the regret for lost liberty. Property of the town from tinte immemorial, I mean the lirge woods in the neighbourhood, is now claimed by Prussia as State property ; while the debts hypothecated on the same remain at the charge of the citizens. The city authorities are called upon to produce titles that these forests belong to the town, and not to the State—a request which cannot be fulfilled, as in the middle ages written documents were not in common use. The young men of Frankfort have been enrolled in the army, and called from their business abroad ; and the consequence is that there is a general flight, and that twenty-two releases from citizenship had to be granted in one day. The Prussian penal law will come in force here on January 2, in spite of the remonstrances of our judges, who pleaded the impossibility of acquiring the necessary knowledge thereof in time ; still they must submit if they would avoid being Prussianed or sent to other provincial towns. If you add to this the general state of affairs ; houses and landed property being almost unsaleable, trade at a stand still, and the greatest uncertainty about the future, it will be seen that Frankfort is in anything but an enviable position. Reports from Austria are very unsatisfactory. The much hoped for agreement with the Hungarians is not likely now to take place, as the Diet insists on the continuity of rights, a concession Austria cannot make without committing suicide. The laws of 1848, passed in atime of general excitement, cannot be put in force by the government. It is exactly the same question which divides President and Congress in the United States ; the former insisting on the continuity of the federal pact, as if all the consequences of its having been broken by --ksion could be swept away by a stroke of the  , y • hi I:_R . . ... .. • • ... : ~ _ _ • • REC 7" ' ‘•., . - -, 1 _ • • ~ . . • talky ruck • year, eu. ist.. i 44a. eel i I i t i , ~..„ . eady rootlet . . bal• „ tri, . . „erica. ai '''' SOO allaties7sd„ to 304.. • . tie et& to ,1„ . .. 5(1.' as &I& 110,, 6,359.]

EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL OF' A TURKISH STUDENT AT BRUSSELS.  M. Lachaud, the well-known advocate, who di,tinguished himself on the occasion of the trial of Madame , Lafarge, is to plead at the trial of Risk Allah Effendi, at , Brussels, for the supposed. murder of his pupil at an hotel in that city. The press in France and Belgium has been for some time occupied in preparing the public for the denouement of one of those romantic dramas which large cities occasionally afford. The career of Risk Allah Effendi has been full of incident. The gay circles of London abounded at one time with gossip relating to the then young Turkish student, who was following the lectures on medicine at the London University. His Oriental costume, his prepossessing appearance, and the fluency with which he spoke most languages rendered him a general favourite. He received from the Ottoman Emhammy in London the title of medical attaché. After paying attention to several ladies of fortune, be eventually attached himself to a fair dame who, having been twice the widow of men of fortune, was possessed of considerable wealth. The world said they were not so happy as they might he, and after a short residence at Boulogne the lady died, bequeathing the greater portion of her wealth to her husband, Risk Allah Effendi ; but a sum of money was left to a young lad, a relation of a former husband, on his attaining his majority. Risk Allah was by will appointed his guardian, and was to possess the amount bequeathed by this legacy if his ward died before coming of age. Risk Allah took the young man to Turkey, where he assumed the rank of bey or colonel. It was said that the youth escaped from various dangers whilst in the East. Together they eventually returned to Europe. As it may be remembered, a great sensation was produced by the accounts in the journals of Brut -els of the suicide of a young lad in that city towards the end of last year. This was the young man to whom Risk Allah was guardian. A judicial inquiry took place, and Risk Allah Effendi was placed in confinement for several days, but there was a went of evidence that he was in any way connected with the death of the youth. He came to Praia after the investigation, where be was received by numerous friends, anxious to show their sympathy for a person acr.ased of a crime of which he was declared to be altogether innocent. He at this period published a volume, contain'ng a narrative of his life and adventures, which was eagerly read by a wide circle, for he had many segue atances. In this way he penetrated cei tain circles in Paris, and was regarded as an amusing person. Not very long since he returned to London again. Meanwhile the Belgian police had got hold of some correspondence of a Turkish servant of Risk APah's conrected with the death of the youth, who was found dead in bed with the pistol by his side which had inflicted the mortal wound. The Belgian nilnister at London was ordered to demand his arrest for a criminal offence, and he is now in pi:son at ' Brussels waiting a second trial, which comes off at the end 1 of this month.—Post.

He was an energetic radical, and frequently appeared on the linearly at Aylesbury an an opponent of Mr. Disraeli. In some oases be west to the poll, but was never sueosesful. He was • signed teetotaller, and a determined enemy to the use of tobacco. His house at Hartwell was a perfect museum, and scientific men always found a welcome there. In his general =anent Dr. Lee was somewhat eeoentric.

Tax iiiiincinn AT GUILDIroRD.—On Monday evening the inquest on the body of Elisabeth Wesley, who drowned herself in the river Wey oa the 18th inst., was opened at the Railway Anus Inn, Guildford. The evidence revealed that the unfortunate woman had been the subject of the most cruel treatment at the hands of her reputed husband. Many detaih of shocking treatment were given, whioh treatment caused the decamped to to Wesley at Healey-on-Themes on the 14th inst. bear was sentenced to six months' impreponment she appeared very sorry, and, after an unsuccessful attempt to get some portion of his punishment remitted, her manner appeared to the superintendent of pollee and others to be very strange, and her eyes were observed to roll with a peculiar wildness. She appears to have sold off her furniture, and re-assumed her maiden name, with the idea of obtaining • situation. She left Henley on the 17th ioet. for Reading. She previously told the landladf the Three Tees that she was married in Shoreditch. There wee so direct proof afforded as to Wesley having aaother wife living, but there were several hearsay statements upon which such a suspicion might be founded.

YORGILILIEB BV A SPOUTING MAN.—III the stagnant state of matters in the racing world it la not unnatural that coosiderable interest should be taken in the discovery of a vary large amount of forgeries perpetrated by the person who committed suicide at Dstehett last week. From what had transpired it seems that the man io question, who married a daughter of the late Beim Chifney, has for soma few years led rather as extraordinary life, es, without any ostensible income and pretending to be only an agent for the discount of bills he has kept race-horses sad earriage-horses, and at one time projected • breeding establishment. Where the fonds came trees was always a mystery to his hinny. who are most deservedly esteemed in the racing world. and who had long since tabooed him. But time at last revealed the secret that the luxuries be had indulged is had been purehssed by the forging of noblemen's names ea bills of exchange, sod, being alarmed at the accidental discovery of his crime, be put an end to his existence. There is no necessity to give publicity to the names of the noblemen in question ; but a lesson will be taught to those who ware foolish enough to part with their mossy which they are not likely to forget, and the folly of dealing with agents instead of principals will be made still more apparent. It is of rare occurrence, but it happened so in this case that the culprit never consulted the peerage ea to the spelling of the title of one of his victims, and to this fact the explosion of the mine may be attributed.—" Argue " of the Poet.
