WESTMINSTER.

DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE WITH LAUDANUM.
—Elizabeth Bowell, living in Gardner's-lane, Westminster,
vas brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with attempting to
commit suicide by swallowing a quantity of laudanum.
Police Constable B 967, said that about six o'clock last
night he was in the Horseferry-road when he was told that
the prisoner was at the Telegraph is Regent-street, and
that she had taken poison. He went there and found her
in front of the bar. When he saw her she remarked, " I
was very sorry that I let any one see me take lit."
Witness got a cab, into which she was placed, and was
taken to the Westminster Hospital, (The witness pro-
duced a phial which had a printed label on it with the
words " Laudanum--poison.") She was attended at the
hospital by several surgeons. She was there three hours be-
fore she was sufficiently recovered to be taken to the station
house.

Mr. SeHe—Did she give any account of herself ?
Witness—She said that she had been living with a man,
and she added that the first opportunity she had she would
put an end to herself.
Mr. Selfe ---Is the cabman in court?
Witness—He is, sir.

The cabman was called and said that he had been living
with the prisoner about seven years. He could not tell
what could have led her to make the attempt on her life.
M. Salle said that ha would remand her for a week,
when he would see what he would do with her.
She was then remanded.

NARKETS—This Day,

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market this morning the arrivals of
English wheat were very moderate. Selected parcels moved
off steadily, at fully Monday's currency. Otherwise the
trade was quiet, on former terms.
With foreign wheat the market was extensively supplied.
Most descriptions were in fair average request, and the quo-
tations ruled tolerably firm.
Floating cargoes of grain moved off steadily, at full cur-
rencies.
The supply of barley on offer was tolerably large. Good
and fine malting qualities were in fair demand, at extreme
rates. Other kinds, however, sold heavily, at Monday's
quotations.
The malt trade was rather quiet, but fine old parcels were
firm in price.
There was a good supply of oats on the stands. Good
and fine corn sold steadily, at full quotations; but inferior
produce was dull, at late rates.
Beans and peas met a slow sale, at previous qu?tations.
In flour a fair business was transacted, and prices were
supported.
