TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.—The captain of

while in lat. 25 21 S, long. 57 22 E, an eclipse of the moon.
The observation was taken at eight p.m.
DELIBERATE ATTEMPT AT SUlClDE.—Yesterday
morning, between six and seven, considerable sensationwas
created in Caroline-street, Princes-road Lambeth, in con-
sequence of a dreadful attempt at suicide made by Mr.
George Garcy, aged 56 years, who resided at No. 5 in that
street. It appears that the unfortimate man got up shortly
after six o'clock, and went downstairs into his garden,
when he deliberately drew a razor across his throat, inflict-
ing a most frightful gash, by which he nearly severed the
windpipe and carotid artery. He then walked into the bask
kitchen and sat down in a chair. On his son coming down
stairs he was horrified at discovering his father in a pool of
blood. He was instantly conveyed to St. Thomas's Hos-
pital, where Mr. Thos. Moreton, the house snrgeon, ren-
dered every assistance, but no hopes are entertained of his
recovery. No cause is assigned for the suicidal act.
M. LAMARTINE'S DEBTS. The Journal de
Saone-at-Loire of Macon, of the 30th, says :—" M. do La-
martine left yesterday for Paris. No purchaser having
come forward for his estates, and the national subscription
having only produced about 160,000 f., to pay.more than
2,500,000 f. of debts, M. de Lamartine was obliged to ask
for time. He called all his creditors (more than 400)toge-
tfier at the Chateau of Montceau, and proposed to give to
them his estates, the value of which exceeded his liabilities.
He also stated that, notwithstanding the insufficiency of
the national subscription, he had paid to his creditors, in
18 months, out of the produce of his literary labours, a sum
of 1,200,600 f., and engaged to pay, in January and Feb-
ruary next, a further sum of 300,000 f ; so that his debts
would be reduced to 1,000,000 f. He therefore solicited the
indulgence of dividing his payments into three or-four in-
stalments, hoping, he said, by labour and economy, to pay
every ono in full. However inconvenient it might be for
several among the creditors to have their debts settled in
these small payments, yet not one of them opposed the pro-
position."
