M. Francis Pelissie, the French actor, killed himself on Saturday,
by swallowing a quantity of boiling water from a tea-kettle. A Coro. ner's Jury found a verdict of " Temporary Derangement." M. Pe- lissie had been in pecuniary distress ; and some time ago, when in the King's Bench, had attempted to cut his throat. A fire broke out on Saturday evening, in the house of Lady Mont- ford, in Seymour Place, Park Lane; but it was put out before mate- rial damage was done.
