DETERMINED SUICIDE. On Saturday last, near midnight, a young man named John Cardew, of the Strand, Hayle, whose father was an Excise officer in that place, put an end to his existence by cutting his throat with a razor. Deceasel was a sailor, and some months since he was disabled from following his occupation by repeated attacks of ill-health. Latterly, he suffered from abscesses in the lungs, and the disease made such inroads on his constitution that, for several days past, he was compelled to sleep in an erect position, and his family were hourly expecting that his dissolution would take place. On the night in question, he requested some of his family who were in the room to go down stairs, as he thought if he were left in quietude he might fall asleep. They had scarcely reached the passage below, when, to their surprise, they heard him walk across the room, and back to the chair in which they left him. Shortly after they were startled by a dismal shriek. His sister and others immediately ran to his room, and when they entered it, he was sliding off the chair on to the floor, his body and the table before him being deluged with blood. They imagined that a bloodvessel had burst in the lungs, but on looking on the table they saw to their horror, a razor coVered with blood, and on lifting the body, a frightful gash across the throat.  On Monday an inquest was held on view of the body, when, from the evidence given, it appeared that deceased had repeatedly applied to the boards of the Merchant Seamen's Fund at St. Ives and Falmouth for relief ; but owing to some informality in a certificate the board relief was refused, and that refusal preyed so much on his mind that it never forsook him. The jury censured the conduct of the boards for the loose manner in which the wants of seamen were attended to, and were of opinion that the disappointment experienced by deceased, added to the weak state of his body, caused him to commit the dreadful act; nevertheless they returned a verdict of Temporary Insanity.—Devonport Independent.  Ladies travelling, or temporarily subjected to any deviation of equable temperature, will find in Rowland 's Kalydor a renovating and refreshing auxiliary, dispelling the cloud of langour from the complexion, and immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity of the skin. The distressing and unsightly varieties of cutaneous eruptions are also promptly eradicated by the Kalydor. Spots, pimples, freckles, discolourations, and sallowness, yield to its specific qualities, and are succeeded by a smoothness and transparency of the skin, giving rise to sensations of the utmost pleasure and surprise. Being universally preferred, its consequent great demand excites the cupidity of unprincipled shopkeepers, who give the title of " Genuine" Kalydor to some compounds of their own manufacture, of the most deleterious character, containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action endangering health. It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to see that the words " Rowland's Kalydor" are on the wrapper. All others are fraudulent counterfeits !1 I
