it is excellent in all respects.
NEW CAFE..—Mr Ross, of the Eldon Dining Rooms, is
about to add, to his already handsome establishment, a new

refreshment room was much required in the locality.

ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SUICIDE.—Late on Thursday night,
a man named Thomas Hughes, residing in Sherwood-street,
by some means or other got into Prince's Dock basin, and
attempted to droWn himself. The policeman on duty was
attracted to the spot, and with some aid succeeded in
rescuing him before he accomplished his purpose. He was
taken to the Northern Hospital, where the proper restora-
tives were applied, and he is in a fair way of recovery.
TIIF, ASSAULT ON BARD THE MANIIA.TTAN.—WiIIiam
Harpin and Thomas Corrigan, charged with violently
assaulting William Harpin, a coloured man and cook on
board the Manhattan, lying in the river, were again brought
up before the Birkenhead magistrates. The assault was
committed on Thursday week, and the injured man is not
yet out of danger. He was, however, examined yesterday,
and the prisoners were committed for trial at' the Knutsford
sessions, which open on the 20th proximo.
TIIB AMPHITHEATRE.—Mr. M'Kean Buchanan performed
every night but one during the week. Mr. Buchanan is
decidedly not without talents and appreciation, and we are
informed suffered under some severe disadvantages the first
night of his appearance, arising from ill-health. Neverthe-
less, we must repeat that we cannot join in the praise this
tragedian has received in many instances, and do not
believe that as yet he evidences any capabilities of rising
to leading ranks even among our present Shakesperian
actors.
