SCICIDE.—On Friday a young woman, residing in Hotchesontown, attempted suicide by swallo*ing a quantity of ..Nru.r Vomica, which she bad purchased in a druggist's shop in High Street. It was not till several hours had elapsed that the parties with whom she resided had any suspicion of her intentions ; when, becoming alarmed by the limptans which presented themselves, they questioned her closely, and at length elicited from her an avowal of what she had done. They immediately called in Dr. Perston, who, notwithstanding the apparent hopelessness of the case, happily succeeded in a few hours in removing the poison and neutralising its effects, by the use of powerful emetics and other remedies. A disappointment in love affairs is stated to be the cause which led to the rash act—Late on Saturday evening, a female named M'Laren threw iv.rself into the harbour opposite the Custom-house. She was in a state of intoxication, and was rescued, quite insensible, after much labour. After having been attended by the surgeon at the Clyde Pollee Office, she MU pronounced out of danger.
