HIP- S TREE T.  _ . Yesterday a journeyman tailor, named. Charles Page, was placed at the bar before Mr. TWYFOUD, charged with having attempted to commit suicide.  The man was an experienced workman, and resided with his wife and family at No. 9, Susannah-row, Shoreditch. He had formerly been employed by some of the first master tailors in London, and was, up to the time of the late strike, in constant employ. He had for some time refused to join the " Journeymen Tailors' Union," but was ultimately,: induced to do so by threats that were held out against him. He had not been a member more than a week before a general strike in the trade was agreed on, by which means he was thrown out of employ, and had not since done any work at his trade to enable him to earn a shilling for .the support of his wife and children. This preyed on his mind, and he had been frequently heard to say that he was tired of his life, and the sooner he put an end to his existence the better, as it was through his own folly in a great measure, for joining the Union. While conversing with a friend on Monday evening, at his own house, he suddenly got up from his chair, and said that he would do then for himself, as it was no use for him to live longer, and' instantly seized a razor, with which he attempted to cut his throat, but was fortunately prevented. Shortly after lie was discovered by his wife in the bed-room hanging to a railing of the bedstead by a silk handkerchief, and nearly dead. He was immediately cut down by a neighbour of the name of Richard Madden, who, on hearing the alarm raised by his wife, went to her assistance, and by the prompt attendance of medical aid he was, after a lapse of about half an hour, restored, and on regaining his senses hd regretted much that he had been saved. The unhappy man was then taken to the station-house, where he betrayed evident symptoms of insanity. Mr. TWYFORD did not wish to hurt the poor man's feelings further by any observations which he might make, but it was highly requisite for him to be kept under restraint, and he should recommend that he be conveyed to a lunatic asylum forthwith. Several of the poor fellow's friends and relatives who were present, and appeared greatly afflicted at his melancholy state, were of the same opinion as the Magistrate, and said they would endeavour to get him into St. Luke's. Mr. TWYFORD inquired what was to become of him in the meanwhile, as it was unsafe for him to beat liberty ? The friends undertook to pay every attention to his malady until the required arrangements for placing him under restraint could be completed. The prisoner, whose actions while at the bar convinced all present of his insanity, was then by the Magistrates's 'order given over to his friends. Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, a Petty Sessions was held at this office, before Mr. TWYFORD, to afford upwards of 300 of the inhabitants of St. Luke's parish an opportunity to show cause why they neglected to pay the poorrates. Many pleaded poverty, and others that they were too high rated ; but they were all ordered to pay within seven days.

SUICIDE.—An Irish labourer, named Zachariah Sayers, employed at the new Greenwich railway, was yesterday brought up on a warrant in custody of Fletcher, one of the officers of this establishment, charged with assaulting his wife, from whom he had been some time separated. The defendant was brought into the office by Fletcher, previously to his being placed before the Magistrate, and was desired to remain seated until his case should be called on. After having accordingly waited a few minutes, he suddenly sprung out of the office, and was running fast down the passacre leading to the street, when he was stopped and taken back to the office. Sir F. Roe now ordered that the defendant should be locked up in one of the cells at the back of the office. He was consequently taken into the cell, and mas confined alone. In a short time afterwards on a charge of felony, when, upon unlocking the Shackell, the gaoler, went to the cell to lock up two boys, door, he discovered the defendant suspended by the neck by his braces, from an iron bar passing through an aperture for the admission of light over the door. He immediately cut him down, and after a few minutes he recovered, when he said he had yet " another chance" of hanging himself, of which he intended to avail himself. This, however, was prevented, by his being locked up in a cell with other prisoners. Thetrate prisoner, was soon nrg ea fetfe ra broughtssanh was beforepreeetehdee proceeded na is when the e h Mrs. Sayers refused to withdraw her charge against her husband, and he was in consequence held to bail. The fact of the defendant having attempted to destroy himself was communicated by Shackell to the Governor of the New Prison on his being removed there in default of bail. g
