comm-rcial pursuits, bet abandoned them as wholly in-
compatible with his previons habits, attempted on Sunday
night last, at his lodgings in the Edgware Road, to
destroy himself. He had retired to his room, having called
us pen+, ink, and paper, and the family were shortly,
after alarmed by the report of a pistol ; they repaired
thither, and found the unfortunate young man stretched
on the floor, and bleeding profusely from the mouth and
