SHOCKING AMEMPT AT SUICIDE:  About eleven o'clock on. Saturday night, as a. woman was bargaining for a lamb's head. at the shop of Mr. Cross, butcher, the corner of Gilbert's-passage, Clare-market, late cat the Strand, a young man, apparently a tradesman, stepped up. and said, Ma'am you had better have a calrg head, 1 can let you have one at a cheap rate;". he immediately snatched up a large knife that lay; on the block, and before any person 'was aware of his intention, be cut his throat from ear to ear. Mr. CrOss, with the greatest promptiturie, lost no time in rendering assistance to the unfortunate young man ; he had,hiin placed on a shutter and carried into St. Clement's watch-house, which was within a dozen yards of the place,• and Mr. Cannon, surgeon, of Cary-street, who was sent for, attended immediately ; the wound was very desperate, the windpipe being nearly severed ; Mr. Caimon stitched up the wound, and rendered every possible assistance. The man was an entire stranger, and unable to speak, but from some sign he made with his band, it was supposed. he wanted to write ; a pen with ink was put into his hand, and smite paper held for hint, on which, With 'much difficulty, he scrawled " George SMith, Holborn."' After the wound was dressed he was removed to the workhouse, about one hundred yards distant, and put to bed. Every attention was paid to bins, but about four o'clock in .the morning, ouperceie, ed by the nurse, he tore the bandages front off hi 4 neck, and opened the wound afresh. The alarm. was given, anti timely assistance procured ; he was quite derapged ; he made several attempts tutea his throat, but was prevented ; it ,was found. necessary to Confine him in a strait-waistcoat ; two surgeons attended, the wounds were sewed up afresh and dressed, but from his great loss of brood, they have no hope of 'his recovery. It appeared' frein his handkerchief being-loose about uiSlieck at the time he committed the rash act that he came there prepared for the purpose ; a messenger was dispatch to Smart's-buildings, Where it was ascertained ;that he was a single map, 22 years of age, and resided With his mothei-, whose sole support be was. The poor Mother, on heuring•of the dreadful news, faioted away several times, and came to the 'Workhouse in a state of distractiOn.
