ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.--On ednesday evening, the family of George Alderson, Esq., a gentleman residing in Albion-strcei, Hyde-park, were thrown into a state of great'een. steination by the discovery that that gentle Mail had nude ay attempt at self dcstrltCtion. It bad been observed for seine time • that he had been labouring under great depression of spirits. Shortly before five o'clock he retired to his bedchamber, desiring his daughter to call him about six o'clock, having express,d his intention to acebruf,sny t.orne member.; of his family to the theatsp. When.the young lady went to call him, she was rritt,h surprised, and st last alarmed, at receiving nn answer to hCr repeated summons. She at length called the servant, who succeeded in bursting open the door, when on entering the room Mr. Alderson was observed lying on the bed in a state of stupor, with a bottle of lauda. nem by his side, the contents of which he had drunk. No time was lost in procuring medical aid, when the stomach.pump was applied with success. The cause of the rash attempt is attributed to speculations on the Stock Exchange, which have proved unfavourable.

[ADVERiISEMENT.]—'The Atrapilatory, or Liquid l-lair Dye, the only dye that really answers for all colours, and does not require re-doing, but as the hair grows, as it never fades or acquires that unnatural red or purple tint common to all other dies. Ross and Sons can, with the greatest confidence, recommend the above dye as infallible, if done at their establishment ; and ladies and gentlemen requiring it are requested to bring a friend or servant with them to see hew it is used, which will enable them to "do it afterwards without the chance of failure. Several private apartments devoted entirely to the above purpose, and some of their establishment having used it, she effect produced can be at once seen. They think it necessary to add, that by attending strictly to the instructions given with each bottle of dye,numerous persons;havv succeeded equally well without coming to them. Address Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, the celebrated' Perruquiers, Perfumers, Hair-cutters, and Hair-dyers. N. B. Parties attended at their own residences, whatever the distance. [
