SUICIDE.—As a workman was crossing the Pont de la Concorde two mornings since, about five o'clock, he found on the parapet a letter or note, on which was placed a key, to keep it from being blown away, addressed to Mil e. Ferriere, the wife of a retired notary, with a direction so her to pay sf. to the person who might bring it to her with the key. He went to the address indicated, but the porter desired him to say where he lived, and the family would send for it. When Mme. Ferriere was dressed, the letter was sent for, and delivered. It was from M. Ferriere, announcing that he could not continue to bear the miseries of his life, and that when she received the letter, he would be no longer in existence. M. Ferriere, though still young., had long been suffering from a painful complaint, which had compelled him to give up his profes,ion. No doubt of his having made away with himself is entertained. He was in easy pecuniary circumstances, and much esteemed. —Gatignani. The Government has two official and avowed organs—the Messager and the Moniteur Universe!. How comes it that the last telegraphic despatches from Toulon, took the wrong way, and that it was from the Moniteur Parisian that we learn on the 16th the arrival of the Crocodile on the 14th at Toulon, with the first news of the expedition to Medeah, and that to-day it is the Journal des Debats which informs us from another despatch that the expedition returned to Algiers on the 10th, after having had on its way back a serious engagement with the Arabs. The Journal and letters brought by the Crocodile are no later than the 6th. When the steam- boat left the Moniteur Algerien had •not appeared, and nothing official had been published. There could therefore be no news cf the expedition which set out on the 30th of March, except from private communications, of the first operations, favoured by extremely fine weather, were perfectly successful, and the main body of- the expedition, which left Blidah on the 3d, must have arrived without obstscles at Medeah  No recent news have been received at Algiers on the 6th, from O: an or Constantine ; but it was known at Toulon that the division of Oran had just received reinforcements to the amount of 6,000 men. The regiments which were already in that province have received numerous detachments to complete their tull war establishments, and two fresh regiments have just been landed at Oran, so that the entire force of the division in that province is above 12,000 men.  It seems certain that a strong column setting out from Oran, or Mostaganen, under the command of General Lansoriciere, or some say, of the Duke of Netnours, will ascend the vahey of the Cheiiff, and effect its junc+ion with that of the province of "Jittery, commanded by the Lieutenant-GeLeral in person liey,,nd .Medeah. Hospital,, are iTepating at Medeah, Miliana, and Mostaganen, to receive the &irk and wounded of the projected great expedition. Lieutenant-General Buwallet dos not di&cose his plans to anybrdy, but nobody doubts that he intends to destroy Tazza, and 'fedekempt. The expedition, which will take place in May, wi I be the mot important that has 'vet been undertaken since our occupation of the country. It will be a derisive blow it, the west part of the Regency, iahich i& Abd-el-Ki.der's central poit.t of action ; he tti is be pur&ued to the edge of the desert, and it is not possible that he skii.u;sl attemp. to pe.ietrate ii,to the provioct• of Gons'antine, where tee Frenrh influence preds.minates. These a•e the hopes eiltera•ne.i at Toulon.—Le Cinnyiterce.
