ATTEMPTED SELF.-DESTRUCTION.—Between seven
and eight o'clock this morning a journeyman tailor, named
Jewis, nearly eighty years of age, in the employ of Mr.
Young, a master tailor, residing in York-street, Queen-
square, attempted to put a period to his existence by shoot-
ing himself. It appears that the unfortunate man has been
living, 11,r some length of time, in the house of Mr. Dodd, a
farrier, in Craven-yard, Drury-lane, and has appeared much
dejected in his manner. The inmates, having heard a report
of a pistol, went into his room, where they found that he had
tried to destroy himself. He was bleeding from the effects of
a wound in the right side. He said that he had three bullets
in his body. Assistance was immediately rendered, and he
was conveyed to the King's College Hospital, where every
xte-essary medical aid was administered; but it is feared that
from the nature of the injuries he has received that he cannot
long survive. No reason can be assigned fcr so rash an act.
We understand that a clerk of some standing and
length of service at the Custom-house has been suspended
from duty by the Commissioners for some alleged miscon-
duct. We forbear to mention the name of the party, as his
case is under the consideration of the Board, and the exact
cause of his suspension is not known with any degree of
certainty, though it is said to be in consequence of receiving
pecuniary remuneration from certain person s connected wit
the shipping trade of the pert, condition of enabling them
to clear their vessel outwards, aster the legal hour of business
has terminated, to the injury, of course, of other merchants
unconnected with the affair. It is also reported that the in-
dulgence,being refused in one particular instance was the
im-
mediate cause of the system being reported to the authori-
ties, and the affair thus brought to light.
