NEW STEAM FRIGATE.—At the iron-ship building
yard of Mr. Laird, a fine new iron frigate is now build-
ing. The model, lines, and workmanship of this vessel
are excellent, Mr. Laird, who has had considerable ex-
perience in the construction of iron vessels, having de- ,
voted his almost undivided attention to her. She is
2.400 tons, 210 teet•long, 37i beam, and 23 feet deep,
and is to be fitted with a pair of 282 horse-power steam-
engines, and tubular boilers, by G. Forrester and Co.
The frames' are as close as strips over butt joints .can
allow them, and are sby 4f angle iron The plates are
and inch thick, the rivets and 1 inch. She is divided
into twelve compartments by the thwartships and longi-
tudinal bulkheads, forming the coal bunkers. As a ship
of war, great attention is paid to her strength, and as
far as good material, good workmanship, and the expe-
rience of the builder, which is considerable, that will be
aeosimptished. Judging from her frame, she will com-
bine the properties of a good sea boat and fast sailer in
no ordinary degree. She is about the same depth as the
Great Western, but 51 feet longer, and foot wider.—

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OT Ma. SERGEANT AN-
DREws.—Many painful rumours were rife throughout
Friday and Saturday morning at the Courts of West-
minster Hall, that the above Learned Gentlemen, who
was a leader of the Midland Circuit, had made an at-
tempt at self-destruction, which, on making inquires at
his residence at Hampstead-hill, unfortunately proved
lzut too true. From the statement of his medical
attendant, Mr. Headland, of Guildford-street, it appeared
that the Learned Sergeant bad been for some period
greatly depressed in spirits, and had passed most
of his time in his library. On Thursday it was
apparent that the Learned Sergeant seemed un-
usually depressed, and after breakfast he retired to
the library, where, in the course of the morning,
Mrs. Andrews had occasion to enter, when she was
horror struck at beholding the Learned Gentleman de-
luged in his 'blood. Losing her presence of mind the
lady gate a dreadful scream, which was heard through-
out the house, and the servants of the household were
quickly in attendance. Mr. Evans, of Hampstead, was
irnmee:tately sent for, and rendered every assistance
whic'n the emergency of the case required. Mr. Head
lard, the family surgeon, on being promptly apprised of
t'Afte melancholy transaction, lost no time in doing all
that human aid could suggest or skill accomplish for his
unhappy patient. At a late hour last night a long con-
sultation
.took place between the medical gentlemen,
when, weregret to state, the Learned Sergeant was not
considered' 00 of danger. Observer,
