AT rampr AT hUICIDIL

On Monday evening, a young man, named William Been, at.
tempted to puts period to his existence at the house of his father.
in-law, Mr. (1. Carlisle, of No. le, Coram-street. Brunswick-
square, under the following distressing elm-eminences :
It appears, that about four years ego, Mr. Berm, who is very
respectably connected in Staffordshire. had married Miss Carlisle.
quite against the inclination of her family, and the consequence
was, that a separation was ultimately effected, and Mr. Bern, soon
after left London for Leicester, where he remained, often in a
miserable state of mind, produced by the separation from his wife.
until Monday, when be arrived in town by one of the Liverpool
stages, and went immediately to his fatherdn-law's. An interview
took place between the young couple, and he proposed taking fur-
nished aparunents if she would current to leave her father's house ;
this she was willing to do, provided it met the sanction of her
father and mother, and begged leave to consult them on the subject,
to which he agreed ; but they were as averse as ever to any re-union
taking place, and the wife then said, that without their consent she
would not go. At this direct refusal the husband repressed consi-
derable uneasiness, and was beard to say twice or thrice. "No
matter, my dear, I have had a last sight of you ; no matter." lie
then complained of having an occasional ague, and said that he was
advised by a 'unlit:al gentleman at Leicester, on the approach of
every lit, to swallow a certain powder, and begged for a teacup of
wants water, with which he was accordingly provided. In evident
agitation of wind he mixed the fatal draught, which was no sooner
swallowed, than the unhappy young man was seized with strong
convulsions, and the most raetang torture of the intestines. The
melancholy truth now flashed em the dof his wife, who, on ex-
amining the remnant left in the teacup, perceived that it was a red
powder, and the paper in which it was folded was marked " strong
poison."
Surgeon Winter, of Tavistock-place, and another medical gentle-
man, were then called in. and various antidotes were administered
for a considerable time without the desired effect, and very faint
hopes were entertained for the sufferer's life : however, by repeated
emetics of the most powerful description, the drug was at length
dislodged, and analyzation proved it to be corrosive sublimate, in
quantity rather more than an ounce. Restoratives were then intro-
duced, but front the debility produced by the rapid action of the
poison on the intestines, a perfect recovery is still extremely doubt •
fut. The young nian still remains under the protection of his
wife's family, and it is presumed, it his lite eau be saved, that this
unhappy affair may be Instrumental to a reconciliation. He main-
tains that the thing was entirely accidental; bat the paper being
marked " poison,' placed the uiteotiou of self-destructicto beyond
all doubt.
