SUICIDE BY A MAN EIGHTY YEARS Or AGn.—On Saturday morning a most determined act of suicide was committed by an old man, eighty years of age, named Robert Campbell, residing at No. 9, Churchroad, Stepney. It appears that he had been in an infirm state of health Ibr some .time past, and on the morning in question his wife had occasion to go to the Post-office, leaving her husband in bed. She returned in less than five minutes, when she was horror-struck at finding him lying on the outside of the bed covered with blood, issuing from a deep wound in his throat, which he had inflicted with a razor. Medical assistance was sent ibr, but he expired shortly afterwards. Ile had at one period of his life been in very comfortable circumstances, but latterly had been much reduced. This, it is supposed, had preyed upon his mind, and induced him to commit the rash act.  CORNIIILL IVAnD.—In consequence of the resignation of Clement Harris, Esq., one of the representatives of this ward in the Court of Common Council, a requisition, signed by the leading inhabitants of the ward, has been presented to Thomas Lund, Esq., a resident for full forty years, soliciting him to allow his name to be put in nomination for the office.
