EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE OP A MASTER JEWELLER 111 THE PARRINGDON-ROAD. INQUEST.-(TH18 DAY.) This afternoon, Mr. Ps e, coroner, hold an inquest at the West London Union touching the death of Mr. Thomas Edward Higgs, aged 30 years. Mr. Wm. Groves, Belgrove-street, Birmingham, brother in-law of the deceased, said that the deceased had been a very eccentric man for the last three years. Re had lost a great deal of prope r ty, and he used to drink, when he became excited. In a wild freak he had gone on with some of his pranks at an hotel, and the people there turned him out. He then lost a box containing a large quantity of jewelry. That excited him still more and then despon dency set in. The letter produced was in his handwriting. It ran as follows :—" I am in such an awful position that I fear I shall do something desperate. If anything should happen to me will you see that my property is given to my mother. I have been mad these two years, and all the mistakes that have been made by me are due to insanity. Good bye." Elizabeth Cooper said that the deceased on Friday evening fell on the floor of his room and died. A bottle was lying by his side. Re lived at 1, Thavies-inn. Dr. Mumford said that the deceased bad poisoned him self with prussic acid. The Coroner having summed up, the jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity.' PA Fin* oFTWribmg Nil d [ '1 l reeorit deplorable catastrophe at Venetic der has naturally tended to revive the old discussion Man% e to the various means of egress possessed by ce:r theistree, music-halls, and other popular plains of entertainment, especially those fre quented by the labouring classes, where the largest and most crowded assemblages are gene rally to be found. So far as the theatres over which the Lord Chamberlain exercises jurisdiction are concerned, great improvements have been effected during late years in the different modes of egress. The London theatres are officially inspected once in each year, usually about the end of August or the beginning of September, in order that on the annual licensing day, generally the 29th of September, the licensee may be refused if necessary, or only granted for a short period, so as to allow time for effecting the illy provements ordered by the inspector of theatres. The more important points to which the attention of the inspector is specially directed are, the doors shall swing both ways, and that there shall be no unnecessary barrier put up, so that in ease of any I rush from the building there may be no obstruc tion to the free passage of the crowd. The in opeotor is also charged with the duty of asoertain ing that each theatre possesses a sufficient number of exits. A license for theatrical performances was refused to St. James's-hall, because it was con sidered that while the means of exit pro vided therein were sufficient for a concert room, they were not sufficient for a theatre. The audiences in each case are not, it is asserted, precisely the same ; hence the seeming paradox. The class of visitors frequent ing the cheaper portions of St. James's-WI are invariably more quiet and orderly than are the mass of spectators found in the pit and gallery of a popular theatre ; consequently there is less fear of a sudden rush or panic. When the Holborn Theatre was erected, the proprietor was compelled to construct separate entranoes to the pit, gallery, and boxes. The entrances to the two former are in Brownlow-street, the approach to the latter being in Holborn. This precaution has rendered the Holborn Theatre one of the safest, considering its size, of metropolitan places of amusement ; the amount of danger arising from a sudden rush from the interior of the building having become reduced to a minimum. With respect to most of the other London theatres it is generally admitted that they do not poems sufficient means of egress. In some, the passages are wide enough, but they are choked by narrow doorways. In the older buildings these deficiencies are diffi cult to remedy, but in all new structures the Lord Chamberlain very properly insists that a sufficiency of means of egress shall be provided. So far as the lower portion of the building is concerned, the official mandate is properly attended to, but the provision of one staircase only for the gallery, very often the most spacious portion of the audi torium, frequently neutralises the good effects secured by the other arrangements. It is in the approaches to the theatre-galleries that the greatest liability to accident exists, and it is in these that the fewest improvements have been effected. Especially is this the case in the cheaper kind of theatres. Most of these are of large size. Amongst them are to be found the Standard, Britannia, Surrey, Beat London, Pavilion, Astley's, Maryle bone, Victoria, and Grecian theatres. The five former have been recently rebuilt on an enlarged scale, and, with the others also mentioned, afford accommodation for nearly 30,000 spectators nightly. The largest portion of the audience is to be found in the pit and stalls—the smallest in the galleries ; but what the latter lack in numbers they make up in noise and rough behaviour. Of all present they are the most turbulent and liable to panic. The means of egress possessed by these theatres are sufficient for all ordi nary purposes. At the Britannia, Pavilion, and East London theatres the pit, stalls, and boxes can be almost instantaneously cleared. At the Standard, the pit can belemptied in three or four minutes. But, as before mentioned, the gallery arrangements in each theatre are the least satisfac tory. The great height to which the galleries are carried in such places as the Standard constitutes an additional danger. There is a great difference between a sudden rush on a level floor, and down a steep and narrow flight of stairs. In the latter case a catastrophe such as that at Manchester is almost inevitable. Hence, in all theatres where the gallery is constructed to hold more than 500 or 600 occupants, there should be provided more than one staircase leading thereto. If space is an object, two or three well-staircases, like that at the Holborn Amphitheatre might be employed. Compared with the means of egress found in the majority of metropolitan music-halls, those possessed by the theatres seem almost perfect. Most of the largest and most popular music-halls have been erected in the rear of public-houses, and possess no separate entrance, except a narrow some four or five feet wide. The Raglan lia Music-hall, capable of holding 1,500 persons, and possessing a pit and gallery, is approached by a passage not wider than that at the Manchester Victoria Music-hall. The Apollo Music-hall, in Bethnal-green, largely frequented by weavers and bird &mere, and capable of holding 600 persons, is reached by passing through a small public house. The Middlesex, Sun, Rodney's Head, Woodman, and other minor halls are also very deficient in the means of egress. Some of the larger halls are little better. This is the more serious, because a music-hall audience, excited by drink, is far more liable to fits of panic than the more sober audience of a theatre. The licensing magistrates are supposed to exercise some authority in causing proper approaches to be made to the various places licensed by them. Mr. W. H. Bodkin states that the magistrates make it a positive condition that they shall be satisfied by competent witnesses that each build ing licensed by them is secure, and possesses suffi cient means of ingress and egress ; but, on the other hand, Mr. Pownall, late chairman of the Middlesex bench of magistrates, says that there is no vigilant superintendence with regard to the approaches to music-halls and similar places, because the magistrates have no officer whom they could employ for such a purpose, and also because the county would object to any expenses incurred by a proper survey of such places. Practically there is no supervision at all. Were it otherwise we should not have so many public-house concerts and dancing-rooms, capable of holding from 300 to 600 persons each, where not only are the approaches miserably deficient, but where, also, the premises are by no means of the securest character. The Cambridge Music hall, in Commercial-street, Shoreditch, affords, in some respects, a good example of what the ap proaches to a place of public entertainment ought to be. The hall accommodates about 1,000 per sons in the pit, another 1,000 finding sitting room in the large and spacious gallery running round three sides of the building, the stage being so arranged that the performers can easily seen by all present. The entrance from the street consists of a broad and lengthy lobby capable of holding 350 or 400 persons. Passing through a large doorway a couple of wide steps are ascended, and then a broad stone staircase, of easy elevation, is reached. Here five or six persons can walk abreast, a few steps leading them to a spacious landing place, where is the entrance to the pit, and where the gallery staircase commences. This latter is as commodious as that leading to the pit. The result of these arrangements is that although for several years the Cambridge Music Hall has been nightly crowded with an audience not always of the most refined character, the scene at the termination of the entertainments has invariably been of a most quiet and orderly character. The Regent, South London, and Canterbury Music Halls are similarly provided with a sufficiency of means of egress. There is, however, another class of ptices of amusement which, being scarcely recognised by law, are subjected to no supervision whatever. These are the " penny gaffs" and children's magic halls. There are several of these in east an'l south London. In Shoreditch there are two such places, F . Ala for #o4lo44dairelative r wit s!He)bitiulte cbtaidsi. The tioximmd rico; provided or the audience, gr ner boy* and girls , is execrable; the means bf egress are even worse. In each, a couple of narrow pas sages, each some three or four feet wide, afford the only means of egress for the excited and shooting horde of youngsters ; and one of these passages, leading to a narrow, and at all times crowded, thoroughfare, is often blocked up by the dense stream of passing traffic. The wonder is that hitherto no calamity has occurred, especially at holiday tune, when the " gaffs" are pricked from door to ceiling with their eager child-audiences. Like their elders, the children love a crowd, but they are even more liable to be overtaken by panic. The Manchester music-hall tragedy affords sufficient proof of this. If we wish to prevent the occurrence of a similar scene in the metropolis, steps must be taken to bring mimic halls and other places of entertainment under proper and efficient supervision.—Daily New.. TERRIBLE CARRIAGE ACCIDENT. On Sunday, a shocking accident occurred at Heckmondwike. A party of twelve persons—ladies, gen tlemen, and children—were on their way through that town from Bradford to Flockton in a waggonette, and were going down a steep hill, when one of the shafts broke; the other got between the horse's legs, and it becoming alarmed dashed off at a gallop. The carriage was overturned, and it rolled over its un fortunate occupants, injuring them in a shocking manner. The persona most injured were Thomas La - cock, Mrs. La cock , Mr. W. B. Thornton, Fred Lay cock, aged 7 years (not expected to live), Mary Jane Rush. worth, and Henry Rushworth, all of Bradford. They have sustained broken bones and internal bruises. They were taken to the houses of people in the neighbourho4 and five remain unable to be moved. The other occu pants of the carriage received injuries of a less severe cha racter, and they have been taken hone. PROVINCIAL BANKING CORPORATION. (THIS DAL) TM,. day the seventh ordinary meeting of share holders was held at the London Tavern, Mr. Jolly' in the chair. The following report was taken as read :—" The gross profits for the half-year, after making provision for bad and doubtful debts, including 1,657/. I Is. 11d. brought forward from last account, have been 24,8681. 16s. 3d. ; and after deducting all current expenses, income tax, payment of interest to customers, directors' remuneration and audi tors' fees, a balance of 10,842/.lBe. 3d. remains fordisposal. Your directors recommend that this amount be appropriated in the following manner, viz. :-6,9061. 7s. 3d. to the pay ment of dividend upon the net capital of the bank, at the rate of 7i per cent. per annum for the half year, free of income tax; 2,0001. to the reserve fund; 1, 4301 9e. 4d. to rebate on bills; 1,506/. 19e. Bd., carried forward to new profit and loss account. The directors are glad to say that the business of the bank shows a steady and satis factory progress. It is propoeed that the dividend be payable on and after the 19th of August" The Carr, in moving its adoption, said there was little difference between the balance-sheet of the present half-year and that of the corresponding period of last year, but whatever di ff erence existed was in favour of this half year. There was increased confidence on the part of the public, and on the whole the state of their affairs could not but be regarded as satisfactory. The motion having been seconded, Mr. L. SIMPSON observed that however satisfactory the state of affairs in the opinion of the directors, the invest ing public did not seem to be of the same opinion as estimated by the price of their shares in the market. The cause of this he believed to be the Large amount of their uncalled capital, and he suggested whether it would be desirable, as other institutions did, to dimiaieh the amount of their liabilities in that respect. The Cast:aims said that the directors were desirous of adoptin such a course r when they could do so without too much g disturbing their arrangements. The report was adopted. A dividend at the rate of 71 per cent. per annum on the net capital was declared, and the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. GREAT NORTHERN AND WESTERN (OF IRELAND) RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.) The twenty-second half-yearly ordinary general meeting of the above company was held this day at the offices, IS, Park-street, Westminster; the Earl of Loct.Nt in the chair. . _ _ Mr. Room (the secretary) read the report, which stated that there was a decrease in the gross receipts of 3301. when compared with those of the corresponding half-year, ended 30th June, 1867, notwithstanding an addition of eleven miles of line. The directors attribute the de crease to the smallernumber of harvestmen and the smaller importation of Indian corn as compared with last year. After paying 2,786/. for interest on debentures, 1,490/. 2s. for dividend on preference stocks, and 1,6221. 16s. 6d. in terest on temtorag loans and unpaid land purchases, a balance of 4,9,3/. ,a. 3d. remains. The outstanding liabi lities of the company make it still impracticable for the directors to recommend the payment of a dividend upon the ordinary stock of the company. The extension to Fox ford was opened for traffic on the let May last. From the impossibility of placing the preference stock the construc tion of this branch has exhausted the pecuniary resources of the company. The necessity for abandoning all fur ther extensions is, if possible, more than ever imperative. The noble CuaixwAx, without any remark beyond a re gret that the report was not of a more favourable charac ter, moved its adoption, which was agreed to, and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) TVESDAT, AIrOVIIT 4, 8 A.C. (hi all our coasts there ham been a small decrease in bareme trieal premure, except on the south roast of Ireland, where read ings are slightly her than they were yesterday. Pressures are generally uniform ; between the lowest reading at Holyhead and the highest at Scarborough there is a difference of 017 inch. Temperature is generally high ; the rise at Nairn since yesterday ha* been 11 dmivees. Moderate winds from the southward pre vailed generally yesterday. At Weymouth it blew a gale from the east. This morning the wind is light and variable, and at the reenact. of the Channel there is calm. Thunder is reported from Penman- and Pl ) mouth. The weather is generally flue, but fug exists on the Irish coast. " A Wayfarer," protesting in the columns of the limes against the preaching of sermons, dwells with a particular sense of injury upon the tactics employed last Sunday by his own clergyman. "I appeal," he says, "to you and to the public whether this was fair—viz., to say 'Lastly;' then, after a long interval, 'finally;' then, , Time permits me to say no more than these last words then ' To conclude ;' then, *Just once more ;' and yet go on and on as if the sermon had only just been commenced ? Further, was it fair, after coming to the end of a pathetic description, which I venture to say nine-tenths of the con gregation took to be the end of the sermon, to use the words, 'And now,' in the accustomed tone, which caused me and some others to rise with commendable alacrity, and yet to follow them up, not with the well-known for mula, but with ' Once again.' " TIIE LONDON STATtES.—I told you that I should make a small London, for military purposes, out of London—on Wimbledon-common, I think. Well. I shall remove most of the London statues to that small town. If the enemy should be of an 'esthetic turn of mind, and should gain entrance into the town, they will be so disgusted, horrified, and aniseed by there stature that they will fall an easy prey to our troops. Ou the other hand, if they should survive the shock, and take the town, they will carry off the statues as trophies taken from the barbarians. At any rate, we 'Judi get rid of the statues from Lonilmi Ileye:oe for August. SHIPPING INTELLIGENC3.-(THIS- DAT.) (ay Twanars.) torpor, Await 4.—Wind at hoop, B.; sultry weather.

It was spiteful and untrue, but Captain tells me that it has done an immense deal of bUM out here. It has been translated into Kin. dnatani, and the people are all saying ' Why should they educate their women U that's the result of education on Englishwomen.' " LONDcar AriD 130crii WESTEaN RAILWAY.—The directots of this company have resolved to recommend to the proprietors, at the half-yearly general meeting, onthe 30th inst., that the dividend for the half-year ending the 30th of June bat should be at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on the ordinary capital stock of the company, carry ing forward a balance of 11,1081. 1311L&NOZ CAB= OF SIIICIDE.—Two strange oases of suicide have just occurred at Milan. A woman named Antonia Cozy , 30 years of age, the wile of a coffee-house keepw precipitated from the front of the cathedral and - was killed instantly. A young man of 18, a lithographer, who to be pemang at the moment, immediately entered the rug be wished to see the spot from which she had herself. And ex claiming :—" There is a woman who has freed herself from all sanoyanos !" he ascended the tower. Having written • few lines to his brothers on the stone parapet with a pencil be Jumped off, and, of course, met a sudden death. In falling he 'mocked down and seriously injured a Prus sian Major, Count Henkel, who wee passing at the time, and who was obliged to be taken to the hospital with several severe 'bruins and a rib broken. Hopes are enter tained that his life is not endangered. A PARSEE DISASTER.—The following appears in the Bomday Gaatte :—"Sir,—ln the fire-temple at Chundunwaddy, known as Hormusjee igadia's Fire temple, are kept two white bulls, called ' Vurusias,' for obtaining their urine for religious purposes. Their skin is said to be perfectly white and free from black hairs. It is with considerable difficulty that these animals are obtained, for a single blot on their surface, or a single black hair, makes them unit for the performance of the great religious ceremony of the 'Nirungdeen.' They are kept in a separate apartment, without any work or labour, and the greatest care is taken of them regarding food and drink for the preservation of their general health. A few days ago a severe fight took place between these two animals, and the consequence was that one of them was killed on the spot in the scuffle. This death has cast a cloud of deep gloom and sorrow over the Parsecs in general, and the • Moho& ' and ' Dustoors' in particular. Perhaps among the so-called religious conservatives a severer and a more dire calamity was never ex perienced. The extreme importance which the ifobeds attach to the death of the ' \Tunisia' is testified by the fact that the • Sarosh' ceremony, daily performed in the name of the dead, is not, and will not be performed in any one of our fire-temples , . till some one, man or beast, volunteers to become the heir-apparent of the • Vurusia.' Lastly, I have come to understand that the • Vurusia' was buried after he was 'baptised' in the Zoroastrian fashion with the sacred or shirt, and the Custi,' or the sacred thread. I postpone making any remarks for the present. - L PAaszn. Bombay, 2nd July." THE H•nvErsT.—Mr. Meehi writes to the Times : As wheat harvest progresses the evidences of first rate quality and condition and ample yield become more and more apparent. We know also that almost every fanner has an extra breadth of wheat, the high price and fine autumnal condition of the soil having induced and favoured the operation of sowing. I have just threshed the produce of 30 acres of white wheat (sown with one bushel per acre in November) ; the yield is 190 quarters, weight per bushel 631 b., amount realised 6701. Some very fine and closely-dressed white wheat weighs over 661 b. per bushel. The wheat crop generally has been so thoroughly ripened and dried by the intense heat that all is in first-rate order for the miller, and there is no need for the addition of either old or foreign wheat, both of which are neglected. All this presents a great and pleasing contrast with the harvests of the last two years. Wheat has fallen in price 10s. per quarter within the last ten days, but we can hardly expect it to be much lower, for the potato crop in cottage gardens and generally is, so tar, a failure ; vegetables are also very scarce and dear, and we have a long year before us, unless the next harvest should be as early as the t one. The quality of the wheat straw is as ect as it could be, and its quantity abundant. This will be a very bad year for grassland farmers, whose stock is immensely depreciated in value and demand by the ab sence of cattle food. Half the kingdom is in pasture. Let us hope and reasonably expect that when rain does come, ;I=with a long accumulation of ammonia and other re, its effect on the deeply heated soil will be to produce an abundant and rapidly grown vegetation."

The prospectus of the new French Loan has been issued in Paris, and an imperial decree, authorises its issue at the rate of 691. 23c. per 100, bearing interest at 3 per cent. from the Ist July last. The rate of interest will therefore be about 4i per cent. per annum. Ac cording to an order of the Minister of Finance, subscriptions will be received from the 6th to the 13th inst. The minimum allowed to be subscribed is fixed at sfr. rentee, and the deposit on sub scribing at one-tenth the amount applied for, the rest being payable by monthly instalments extend ing over a period of 18 months. It is announced that subscriptions to the loan will be received in London by the General Credit and Discount Company, in conjunction with the Societe Generale of Paris, and that the deposits required on such subscriptions will be only 5 per cent. The amount of the loan has been stated at 450,000,000 f., or say 18,000,0001. sterling, which includes 21,000,000 f. for the expenses of issue. We have also received a memorandum stating that Messrs. Bischoffsheim and Goldschmidt are authorised to receive subscriptions to the new French loan on the same terms as the Treasury at Paris. Advicea from Madrid state that the government hav g e u i i spu pressed the " Little Bourse," i. e., have stop dealings in public securities outside the re Bourse. It is believed that some of the speculators haie given offence to the government by entering into transactions for a fall in prices.

THE TilrrEoPoisreis GAS SuPPET.—The special gas committee of the corporation of London have pre sented their report. They review the letion of the past session, which, combined with thedetermination of the Metropolitan Board of Works to oonstruct a solid embankment at Blackfriars, it is hoped will ultimately lead to the removal of the gas works from the neighbour hood of the Temple. The committee of the corporation were appointed in October, 1866, and the supply of gas was then recV:y the Gas Act of 1860, which Axed the illumine •powe r of common gas at 12 candles, an the price at 4s. per 1,000 cubic feet. The present price and Maminafing power are 4s. and 14 candles. but helB7o they will be 3s. 9d. and 16 candles. The price of cannel gas of 20 candles will also be reduced from 7s. 6d. and 6s. 6d. per 1,000 cubic feet to a rate proportional to the price of 3s. 9d. for 16-candle gas. There are pro visions in the new act under which the price of gas and its illuminating power may, after January, 1870, be dimi nished or increased, but the committee are confident that if any chempware made it would be by way of redaction in price. The committee, in conclusion, congratulate the Court of Common Council on the satisfactory termination of the contest in which they have been engaged during three scan= of parliament, and they believe the result of their labour; will be to noun an abundant supply of gas o f a high illuminating power at a moderate price. On Sunday, when the *mirth monthly excur sion of the National Sunday League took place, about 1,600 persons went to Dover. In the evening addressee were delivered in the market pla ee on the part of the Lmgue, and a vote of thanks to the council was °orrice.
