SHOCKING AMEMPT AT SUICIDE:

About eleven o'clock on. Saturday night, as a.
woman was bargaining for a lamb's head. at the
shop of Mr. Cross, butcher, the corner of Gil-
bert's-passage, Clare-market, late cat the Strand, a
young man, apparently a tradesman, stepped up.
and said, Ma'am you had better have a calrg
head, 1 can let you have one at a cheap rate;".
he immediately snatched up a large knife that lay;
on the block, and before any person 'was aware of
his intention, be cut his throat from ear to ear.
Mr. CrOss, with the greatest promptiturie, lost no
time in rendering assistance to the unfortunate
young man ; he had,hiin placed on a shutter and
carried into St. Clement's watch-house, which was
within a dozen yards of the place,• and Mr. Can-
non, surgeon, of Cary-street, who was sent for,
attended immediately ; the wound was very des-
perate, the windpipe being nearly severed ; Mr.
Caimon stitched up the wound, and rendered every
possible assistance. The man was an entire
stranger, and unable to speak, but from some
sign he made with his band, it was supposed.
he wanted to write ; a pen with ink was put
into his hand, and smite paper held for hint,
on which, With 'much difficulty, he scrawled
" George SMith, Holborn."'
After the wound was dressed he was removed to
the workhouse, about one hundred yards distant,
and put to bed. Every attention was paid to bins,
but about four o'clock in
.the morning, ouperceie,
ed by the nurse, he tore the bandages front off hi 4
neck, and opened the wound afresh. The alarm.
was given, anti timely assistance procured ; he was
quite derapged ; he made several attempts tutea
his throat,
but was prevented ; it ,was found. ne-
cessary to Confine him in a strait-waistcoat ; two
surgeons attended, the wounds were sewed up
afresh and dressed, but from his great loss of
brood, they have no hope of 'his recovery. It ap-
peared' frein his handkerchief being-loose about
uiSlieck at the time he committed the rash act
that he came there prepared for the purpose ; a
messenger was dispatch to Smart's-buildings,
Where it was ascertained ;that he was a single map,
22 years of age, and resided With his mothei-,
whose sole support be was. The poor Mother, on
heuring•of the dreadful news, faioted away several
times, and came to the 'Workhouse in a state of
distractiOn.

William Turner, a young man about 19 years
of age, servant to Sir John Silvester, coming to
town last Thursday with a cart load of hay, and
passing through a lane at 11Iford, the horse ran
back., bind one wheel got into the ditch, which
caused the cart to overturn, and the load ot' hay
fell•on him 'and ltiillcti him on the spot.
