MARLBOROUGH-STREET.  EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.— SAD AFFAIR —Elizabeth Graham, a young unfortunate, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting to commit suicide at the Catherine Wheel tavern, Great Windmill-street.  Mr. John Doughty, the landlord of the Catherine Wheel tavern, Great Windmill-street, said that on Saturday night, a little before 12, the prisoner came into his house and asked for half a quartern of gin and some warm water. It was taken to her by his (Mr. Doughty's) servant, who informed him that the prisoner had put a powder into it. He immediately went to the prisoner, when he found her with the glass in her hand with something in it, which appeared like milk. He asked her what she had done, and she replied " Nothing," and began drinking, but he (Mr. Doughty) seized the glass just as she had got a mouthful of the contents, and prevented her swallowing any of the liquid, and gave her into custody. A constable said the glass contained sugar of lead. Mr. Doughty said he understood the prisoner had expressed her intention of committing suicide to persons. The officer said that on asking her what she had been about, she said "Nothing," but afterwards admitted that she had put the sugar of lead into the glass, and on asking her why she did it she said " Because I am tired of this world." On Friday morning last the prisoner and another young woman went down to the Westminster-pier to drown themselves, and the other young woman unfortunately succeeded in doing so, and the prisoner was ordered to attend the inquest on the body of the deceased on Wednesday newt.  Prisoner, in answer to Mr.Tyrwhitt, said she lead nothing o say.  Mr. Tyrwhitt said ho must remand the prisoner for a week, as the only means of saving her life after making two attempts at suicide. The other poor girl had drowned herself, and that ought to have been a warning to the prisoner. He feared he should have to remand her again and again if there was no one to take care of her. The prisoner was then remanded.  A

THE CONDEMNED MURDERERS.—It will be remembered that a short Lime back a young man, named George Inkpen, was convicted of the murder of his sweetheart by drowning her in the Surrey Canal, the intention of the parties having, no doubt, been to destroy themselves bp suicide. The prisoner has been respited during her Majesty's pleasure.—The prisoner William Malony, who was convicted of the murder of his wife in Westminster, and Richard Reeve, the boy who killed his sister in Drurycourt, also remain in Newgate, awaiting the decision of the Government as to what will be their fate, both having been respited during her Majesty's pleasure.  EXTENSIVE FlRES.—Yesterday morning, at an early hour, a fire, attended with serious loss of property, took place on the premises belonging to Mr. Hayhoe, a draper and hosier, carrying on business at 113, Long-alley, Bishopsgate-street. The flames were not extinguished until Mr. Hayhoe's premises and their contents were entirely consumed. The premises of Mr. Pyne, a brazier and tinman, have received also a considerable damage by fire, water, and hasty removal. No. 26 in the same lane, belongto Mr. Haynes, a butcher; No. 27, Mr. Sayers, an extensive cabinet manufacturer ; No. 28, Mr. Wilkinson butcher; and Mr. Edwards, No. 112, are also serious]; burned, and the contents severely injured by water and removal.

SUICIDE OF MR. MORELL, OF PICCADILLY.—On Monday afternoon some persons in the neighbourhood of Keith, a little town between 40 and 50 miles north of Aberdeen were surprised at seeing a strange gentleman proceed somewhat hurriedly towards the Lynn, a favourite waterfall in the vicinity, and having reached its edge and partly undressed himself, walk into the water of the Isla and immediately plunge headlong through a cutting of the rocks into a deep shelving pool below. Instant measures were taken by the person who observed the act to rescue the stranger, but as he had sunk almost immediately on reaching the water, all their efforts were vain, and it was not till some time after that the unfortunate man's bcdy was dis covered. It was carried to the parish church, and on search being made in the pockets of the clothing a card was found with the ad frees " Mr. Henry Morell, Piccadilly, and 2, wTashef deceased inedthies Lansdown Villa, Forest-hill;" also a .wihitiatelsc,a,mubric handkerchief, bearing in red letters the initials hi.,.

THE LAST ATTENTIONS OF A LOVER,—A young woman named Wild, a domestic sehrant at Oldham, attempted to commit suicide recently, in consequence, it is said, of her lover haying told her he could not marry her. For this purpose she walked into a deep pool of water, but was fortunately seen by a workman passing at the time, who procured a rope and rescued her. While the girl was in the water, a young man was observed holding a lantern in his hand. He turned out to be her sweetheart, who was coolly watching her movements in the water, and very considerately holding her the light, so that she might see how to drown herself, it may be presumed, in the most comfortable manner possible.--Lincoln Mercury. Yesterday the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution at the Royal Horticultural Gardens excited general attention and admiration, and many were the regrets expressed that the thousands of persons who visit daily the International Exhibition were not able to see a British lifeboat fully equipped for service.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.  ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A TAVERN.—Fredelickßeazley, a respectable-looking man, a clerk, out of employ, wa3 charged with attempting to commit suicide at the Marlborough Head Tavern, immediately opposite the police court.  James Reeves, 41 C, said that on the previous afternoon, about half. past four, as he was passing the Marlborough Head Tavern he was called by Mr. Ellwood, the landlord, who said a person in the house had taken poison. He found the defendant in a state of stupor, and took him to the Middlesex Hospital, where an emetic was administered, and he was informed that he had taken an overdose of laudanum.  Mr. John Ellwood, of the Marlborough Head, said he was acquainted with the defendant, and he was a very respectable man. The defendant came to his house th previous afternoon and had something to drink, and asked him to lend him a bottle. He did so, and the prisoner went out and shortly after returned and asked a painter at work at his house to have something to drink, and had something himself. Shortly after, on his going to remove the glasses, and seeing the empty bottle he had lent the prisoner or the counter he smelt it, and found the bottle and one of the glasses had contained laudanum. He (Mr. Ellwood) th en sent for a doctor, and the defendant was afterwards taken to the hospital. In answer to the magistrate, Mr. Ellwood said he believed the defendant bad done it owing to family matters. He had written to the defendant's brother, and he had no doubt he would attend to take care of him.  Mr. Tyrwhitt said if the brother attended the defendant, who would be detained in the meahtime, should be given up to him.  CARRIAGE ROBBERY: —Charles Collins, a middle-aged man, and who there is little doubt has been at this court before, was charged with stealing from the carriage of Mrs. Eliza Willis, of 4. Hill-street, Berkeley-square, a shawl of the value of £5.  Wm. Hall, footman to Mrs. Willis, said that on the previous afternoon he was with the carriage in Dover-street, when he was informed that prisoner had taken a shawl from the carriage. He pursued the prisoner, and in his flight he threw the shawl down an area. He caught the prisoner and brought him back, and then handed him over to a constable (Jarvis, 156 C), who took him to the station. George Cullen, in the service of Lord Stanley of Alderley, proved seeing the prisoner take the shawl from the carriage.  Mr. Tyrwhitt, at the request of Inspector Draper, remanded the Irisoner that inquiries might be made.
