Yesterday the Queen, accompanied by the Duchess
of Kent, and attended by the Duchess of 'Sutherland, the
Marchioness of Tavistock, the Earl of Albemarle, and others
of her Majesty's suite, honoured the Exhibition of the Royal
Academy with a visit. Her Majesty was received and con-
ducted through the rooms by the President, Officers, and
Council. Her Majesty also condescended to inspect the Li-
brary, Council-room, and Hall of Casts.
Yesterday morning, a few minutes past four o'clock,
a desperate attempt at suicide was committed by Alexander
Meredith, Esq., at his residence in George-street, Portman-
square. It appears from the statement of the unhappy gentle-
man's valet that he returned home at the above-mentioned
hour, apparently in a dejected state. On entering his apart-
ment he sat on the sofa, and requested his servant to fetch him
some water. On his return to him he found that he had re-
tired to his bedroom, and on entering it he discovered his un-
happy master lying on the floor, weltering in his blood, having
cut his throat with a razor. Surgical assistance was procured
1 as promptly as possible, and the wound was sewed up, but no
hopes are entertained of his recovery.
