Loss OF AN INDIAMAN, COTTON
LADEN. Intelli-
gence has been received in Liverpool by the Cape mail of
the total loss of the Liverpool ship Swithamlay, bound from
Bombay to Liverpool. The vessel was lost on the Blenheim
reef, near the Cape. The crew were saved, but the cargo
was lost. It comprised 2,976 bales of cotton. The Swith-
amlay left Liverpool for Kurrachee, on the last day of
August, 1861. She was owned in Liverpool by Messrs.
Moore and Co., anti was classed A 1 for 12 years. It is a
somewhat singular coincidence that the American, which
left Bombay on the same day as the Swithamlay, has also
been lost.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE BY A GUARDS-
-I‘IAN.—A singular and desperate case of suicide was at-
tempted by a private of the Coldstream Guards, named
Sayers, in Sale-street, Paddington, on Saturday night, under
the subjoined circumstances. At half-past 11 o'clock on
Saturday night police-constable 175 D was attracted to a
scene of uproar and excitement near a public-house in the
above street, and found the soldier struggling in a semi-
unconscious state, in the arms of two civilians, who stated
that they had been in his company in the course of the
evening, and that he had just wilfully swallowed some
oxalic acid while under the influence of liquor. The con•
stable removed the wretched man with assistance to St.
Mary's Hospital, near at hand, and his case being made
known four or five medical gentlemen of the hospital imme-
diately attended on him and administered several emetics,
which seemed to produce the desired results, and he was at
once put to bed. In his conscious state he pulled out of his
pocket a piece of paper labelled "poison," which he said
contained oxalic acid, that ho purchased with his Last penny
at the chemist's shop of Mr. "Watts, Edgware-road, avowedly
for the purpose of removing stains from his tunic, and in-_
stead of applying it in that way he took it by means
eq
eating it up in its dry state. Yesterday it was ascertained
that he was progressing favourably, and hopes were enter-
tained of his recovery.
