SUICIDES.  Yesterday Morning, one of the most determined, deliberate, and horrid suicides, was committed by young man Of the name of Tranter, a footman in the employ of the Prince of .Wales. He entered Carlton-house as early as between and 6 o'clocki and went into the servants'-hall, s-,,here he was found writing by another servant of ,the Prince's, named Barr, who had got up early. They eonversed together, without Barr's perceiving any difference iu Tranter's conduCt or behaviour, so as to induce him to irve any suspicion of what was about to take place. At ler.gth, 13:irr left-the hall, and when be was in another part of the house, he heard the report of a pistol : he had no suspicion that it proceeded from the hall, but returned there as he intended, when be found Tranter in a ditierent part of the hall, and at the instant called to him to know what was tie matter, but received no answer.. On looking atltim, he perceived blood flowing from his stomach, and that he had shot himself with one of his travelling pistols, which are always kept loaded; his waistcoat was on tire, occasioned by the wadding of the pistol: Barr wag so much alarmed at the horrid, unexpeaed sight; that, instead of doing any thing himself, he ran out to fetch the gate-porter to assist. On his return with the potter, just before they got to the hall door, they heard the report of a pistol, and its fall. '.l,hey found that I'ranter had been so completely determined on his own destruction, that he had' got off his waistcoat, which Was on fire, and, in his wounded state, he, had got across the hall, about ten yards, .sei2ed another loaded pistol, and discharged the contents into his left side. The, blood was flowing copiously Iroin both wounds. Barr asked Tranter what induced him to do the rash ati ? He replied, he had done it himself, and it was no business of his or any body's else. Tranter lived about 20 minutes., The letter he was writing ploi;ed to be addressed to his sister's husband,, bequeathing all. his property to his sister, amounting to about 5001. except 401. to be, given to a natural child. He appeared to be in very good health and spirits on Tuesday. He neither assigned any cause for the rash ad, nor can any conjecture be formed as to the cause; except 'a report of a disappointment in a love affair. He was supposed to be a favourite with the Prince : he was particularly remarkable for the neatness and cleanliness of his (tress, wore very large whiskers, aiici was considered a hand,bine young man. He has lived 'with the Prince between seven and eight years. Previous to that he lived with the Duke of Queensberry, as a, running footman.---The body was taken to St. Martin's bonehouse.

HOUSE. James Forster, standing charged with forging a ciieck, pUrOoiting to ty., the ch;-ck of Messrs. S.okes and Hodg•-on, on Alessjs: • Sykes and Co'.for" f was yest6rd,iy brought tit fore the Lord Mayor, preparatory to his final cont.. initial' for trial. The deposition's of the seer,-11 witnesses having htien•read, in which nothing was ob, servable but what'we have already' communicated to.the Putilic, the prisoner was asked, whether he had any thiug.to urge in his defence. He replied. that his friends-beirw.at a considerable distance from town, he had not ywt had an oppor unity of constnuniCa'it►g with them. With respeat to the charge agailst he had no remarks to make.  The Lord Mayor then said, it became his painful duty to commit him for trial, a duty which on any occasion was heart-redding, but which on the present, from the respectable appearance and .conneciions,of the prisoner, he telt (cost poignantly. - The last Mittimus was then prepare-d and signed, and the prisoner was conveyed to Newgate. Yesterday, .its well as at his former examination, he endeavoured to screen his lace front public observation with his pocket handkerchief. He was dressed in a suit of deep mourning, and seemed most sensibly affected at his disgraceful and awful situation.  No other exatnination of interest occurred.

LATE ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.  Although the :probability_, is small of any great amendment in that Lord of the Creation, " rational and immortal' man," yet it is a sort of duty to seize all occasions of trying. The information ought to of 'use, though it will not, to others, (-specially to those of, his own sphere, that the source whence sprung all the misfortunes of the (4 retched man-servant who cut his throat on Saturday last, was ktpural indifference to truth and falsehood. Considering nothing in -assertiOn.but t e convenience of the moment, the, lie,was always ready; each major lie requiring a buttress. of twenty minor lies.  Though this ill-starred person was nothing like so fine a liar for soiree time past;'-'as formerly, yet the good, old Custom hung about him to the last. Tliti'Newspapers state him to be married to his fel;. low-servant., there, again, the love`of lying prevailed ; for though the marriage had been not only harmless but commendable, it is through your Paper that the tirst knowledge of the marriage reached the master, who never noticed anything conjugal about this , couple, except some occasional quarrelling. The fear of losing his place upon the approaching aiscoverv•of some additional'•misconduct teas the only reason given tor laying violent hands upon himself.—To save a fellow creature's life, his mind was quieted on that score; and pi-kor as ho is, and power, less, the promise will, probably, be kept towards him.—What! take back at -attempted suicide and a liar ?  iVoiv the critic, m is some one who never hears one word of truth from his servants, by whom he is, perhaps, entirely governed, and with whom, for that reason, he ought to change station —the " covered," as the natural underling, standing bare." it possible that Lie -rnastei•of the attempted suicide may not ,have found beings •of a .higher order than servants over perted.-.-It is possible he may be df opinion that the general alternatiVes of this life are chokes pf evil, not of good. Long knowledge might neutralize one, even towards a rat. An old, which always implies, a faithful servant , should ever be considered as an inalienable 'member of every family. Though the, servant. in question had . not been in his place .half the time mentioned in the Hpers, yet he has served. long enough to be an object of .his employer's interest anti ft-gird. Attached and affectionate, particularly during illne;is, he would, have been a very useful domestic, could he but shun the dram-shop and stick to the truth.

ZENIMBA V. NAvrAIJ.  In this case; Mr. GARROW sheaved cause why the defendant should not be-brought up from the custody of the Marshal, by virtue of his privilege as Shah-Bender. or Consul-General of the.pttoman Porte to Great Britain.  Mr. -GARROW for this purpose; read ,an affidavit from a person of the name of Crifico,,stiling himself the Shah-Bender, and affirming that Natali's credentials-we .are fictitious, and Natali himself nothing 'a Jew than Jew !  Lord ELLENROROUGH was of opinion that the credentials of both •Critico and Natali were of 'so suspicious a nature, that the Court ,would not be justified in coming to any determination upon- the subject of the Rule, until Aore thruments were procured froze the 'Secretary of State's Office, sufficient to authenticate either.—Rule enlarged until the last day of term.  On Wednesday afternoon an alarming fire brolip out in the large brewery of Mr: NV: LEMAN, of Chard, which in a- very _few hours_ consumed the same, together with his malt-houses and their con, tents, and a largestock of beer, to the amount of several thousand pounds. The p:emises being partly thatched, and in a confined situation, a very small,part of the stock ,was sayed... The fire coinmunicated to the.dweiling-hou,e in. front, which with those of Mr. EDI,VARDS, Salesman, and • Mrs. LANGDON, were partly destroyed.' Happily a division of the East Devon Militia were on their march through 'the town, and by their uncommon exer7 lions preserved the whole street froth destruclion. , „_... Thursday evening, between the hours of eight and ten, the house of Mrs. Paul, a laundress, in Bethnal-green-road; was forciblyentered ny thieves, at present unkown, who stole table linen, sheets, shirts, andother property entrusted with her to wash, to the value of nearly Q,Ol. with which the villains made their escape.. Monday last an inquest was'held the'bodies of Maturin Dagorn, a French pilot, and Mary his wife, at an Inn in prospet..-t-row, Plymouth-Dock. It .appeared in evidence, hat the husband was jealous of his wife, (but without the least- ground for it, asthe woman was universally allowed to be very prudent and discreet), and formed the desperate resolutio❑ of puttilig a period to her existence and his own, which he.effected on Saturday last, by first shooting her with a pistol, and then shooting himself with the 'same pistol, loaded again for the purpose. After a full and deliberate investigation, the Jury'brought in a verdia of lPilful Murder of the wife; and felo de se on the husband. He' is ordered to be buried, in a cross road. ,  . . . . Yesterday the prisoners who stand committed on suspicion of felony, were removed from the different gaols in the City and County of Middlesex to Newgate, preparatory to their trials at the.ensuing Sessions, which commence on Wednesday next at Justice Halt, Old Bailey.
