YIE3ICA 1 LINI.LY TO TAIIE  WILLIAM SAWYER.  The unfortunate young men, Sencr, who underwent, yesterday, the dreadful sentence of the law, had attempted to commit suicide in four different manners. He first attempted to shoot himself after he had committed the act, which he has expiated with his life, on the unhappy woman, which nut . being effectual, he then cut his throat from ear to ear, and although the skill of the surgeons effected his recovery, the arms of utterassee were so impaired that it was with difficulty he creed he understood.— He then took an immense (Nautili/ of laudanum, which was also ineffectual. 0.1 Monday mortse.g, at aboot two o'clock, Mr. Box, the Surgeon of Newgste, was called to this wife' helve man, and found him suffering under the operation of an active poison —by the immetliete administration of some powerful antidote, its effects were so far counteracted as to enable him to undergo his awful benefice. The utmost case hail been taken to preveat this—he wee constantly attended by two persons. who sat up with him day and bight—he had been stlictly searched, and no person was peimiited to have access to him without undergoing the same ceremony. It has beets discovered that he had concealed, within the lining of his hat, a small quanti!y of corrosive sublimate, which he mixed with Isis bread without being observed, and thus again endeavoured to destroy him; self. By the professional skill and humanity of Mr. ' Box, who rem:titled with him to the last, he was re- Hewed from the excruciating torments this mineral produced, and was etialelsid to meet his fate with tolerable composure. On Sunday evening, about seven o'clock, his wife, who resides at Rochester, went to Newgate, for the first time since his committal, to take her farewel of him; though he peremptorily refused to see her, yet this circumstance produced the greatest agitation in his mind. He had been married 10 years, and has left a son nine years of age. By the decision of the law in this case, there is an end of the formerly existing custom of going abroad to fight duels. British subjects are now amenable to the law at home for any foreign off,nce.  Oil) 1141LI?Y.  MOND IY, Shy 15.
