ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, the neighbourhood of the Exchange was suddenly and frightfully agitated, by a report that a broker had committed suicide by cutting his throat in the news- room. The intelligence flew with great rapidity, and in a brief period the flags and rooms were thronged by anxious groups, who sought, in the most excited manner, information regarding this truly lamentable affair. As far as we have been able to collect, the principal facts are these: —About the hoer mentioned, we understand th ,t -with the roo to fetch some to the wate  e of the  connectel it li the bar, anil that his attention was attracted et door, from whence issued a quantity of blood. On proceeding to examine the place, he was horrified to find Mr. Tatham, a well known broker, of the firm of Hill, Tatham and Co., weltering in blood and nearly in an expiring state. He at once raised an alarm, and in a brief period two medical gentlemen vi ere in attendance. Every assistance was rendered, but the removal of the unfortunate gentleman was found impossible, in such a state. His throat was desperately cut with a razor, evidently by his own hand. It is needless to say, the sensation this fearful affair has created through town is great. We do not give circulation nor credit to any of the rumours in reference to this deeply deplored transaction. We underitand that the unfortunate gentleman is about 32 years Of age, and was highly esteemed in the mercantile world, whilst in social life he was admired, and his society much valued, amongst a wide spread circle of attached friends, amongst whom the deepest sorrow Prevails. Indeed, we have not heard of a more lamentable case for many years, nor of one that has r' d caused such a raofd that the regret ound sensation amongst all classes. It is needless to proportion.
