SUICIDE.—A frightful attempt to commit suicide was made at Elndgwater • few days ago, by a young man named William Hawkins, a coachmaker, the son of a cabinet maker who formerly resided at Rath. Hawkins has latterly been working at the coach manufactory of Mr. Mdfford. tit Highbridge. He was for some time resident in America, and was for several months actively engaged in the Federal service, from which he was discharged on the grouad of insanity. He was then placed under restraint in a laoatic asylum, but succeeded in gaining his liberty, and he then embarked for England, and . settled down at flighbridge Having • brother living at Bridgwater he nentsionally visited him, and on Thursday was at his hrother's lodgings, at the house of • farrier named William Hex, near the Mlarkethouse Tavern. On the abovequentioned day, between one and two o'clock in the afternoon, be went up stairs into his bedroom. After being • absent for some hours the family, becoming alarmed, proceeded upetein, and knocked at the door, which was locked. ltmeiving no reply they at length sent for Mr. Superintendent Lear, who, with P.S. Cheriton, was promptly on the spot, and the bed• room door was immediately broken open Here a fearful scene presented itself. The unfortunate man was found lying upon the floor with his throat cut in • most frightful manner, the wound being at least three inches in length, and the windpipe severed to a great extent. The toilet cover was bespattered with blood in such a manner as could leave no doubt that the would-he suicide had looked into the glass whilst in the act of committing the dreadful deed. The floor was also covered with blood, and it would thus seem that after cutting hie throat he paced the room several times. In • basin near his head was more than a pint of blood and water, aud a coarse cloth, with which he had evidently attempted to staunch the wound, was literally soaked with blood. But the moist extraordinary part of the story remains to be told. On the man's stomach were found no lees than nine incised wounds, running parallel, each being several nicht* in length. Though many o Omni were severe, none appear to be of a dangerous character. It is generally thought that the wretched man as first intended putting an end to his existence by the horrible mode indicated, viz., of disem• bowelling himself, but his courage appears to have failed him. The razor with which the wounds were inflicted was found in his trousers pocket, covered with blood. Dr. Artforil was promptly sent for, and in five minutes was in attendance. The sufferer, who, on being discovered, was apparently dead, was after some difficulty restored to animation, mut various remedies applied. On the Saturday he was removed to the Union, and is now under the care of Dr. King, the medical officer. Strange as it may appear, seeing the frightfel character of his injuries, the unfortunate man continued to improve until Tuesday, when, a At coming on, he was reduced to such • state that at present his recovery appean to be very doubtfuL
