This forenoon, at the Town of Ramsg.ate tavern, Wapping, Mr. Richards. deputy-coroner, held an inquest on view of the body of a man who was found in the Thames with his tliroat cat. The deceased was about 40 years of age and bad the appearance of being a Frenchman of respectable position ; but hiq body had not been identi fi ed. It was discovered floating down the river opposite Wapping Old Stairs, and there was a wound in the throat from which the blood was issuing. The deceased was completely dressed, with the exception of his hat, which was missing. Theeoroner'sofficerdeposed that the body was dressed in &black over-coat and brown body coat. light brown trousers with black aide stripe, braces with fancy bead work, and white shirt over a flannel shirt. Both shirts appeared to have been put on new the day of deceased's death. In the pockets were a silver gilt watch and gold chain, a purse containing a half-crown, and two keys. Dr. E. Wood said that death was the result of drown ing. The wound in the throat was evidently self-in iliokxl but was not sufficient to cause death. From these and other circumstances detailed, The jury returned a verdict of " Death by suicide." A FLEXIBLE THEATRE. —A Paris correspondent of the Nerd says that some few days ago a plan was shown to him of a theatre which it is proposed to build aecoidin. , " to a somewhat novel mode of construction. The house is to be either small, large, or immense, as may be required, and will contain 1,000, 2,000, or 5,000 persons. By a system of movable walls—of course of wood—the theatre is to be elongated or contracted at will, just for all the world like an opera glass. THE INTERMENT OF THE. LATE ROBERT CHAMBERS. —The remains of the late Mr. Chambers will be interred to-morrow (Sunday) afternoon, at 3 o'clock, in Walker Church-yard, in accordance with the expressed wish of the deceased. Mr. Edward Winship and Mr..lames Taylor, two well-known and warm friends of Mr. Chambers, who enjoyed his full confidence at all times, in the name of Mrs. Chambers, have invited all the deccased's relatives and friends, the Freemasons, the Oddfellows, and Fres Gardeners (to all of which orders Mr. Chambers belonged), the members of the Albion, Northern, Elfin, and Tyne Amateur Rowing Clubs, to attend the funeral on Sunday next, and thus a pay a last token of respect to th e memory of one of whom in life they had good reason to be proud. —Newcastle Daily Chronicle. CAPTURE OF SALMON AND PIKE IN WINDER RERE.—On Monday last, J. R. Simpson, Esq., of Amble side, settled the question of the presence of salmon in Lake Windermere, by the capture of a pike weighing 251 be., in which was found, evidently only just swallowed, the skin being only slightly affected by the action of the stomach, a young salmon of Vibe. weight. The pike was taken by Mr. iiimpson while Gibing with rod and live bait (a trout), and fine tackle. The extraordinary voracity of the pike could hardly be more clearly proved than in this instance for this fish had hardly wariest the mort when it was ready to take trout as a second course, or as a relish to the former.— West moreland fiazetle.

The Earl will have shown the stuff he is made of before Thursday, and at present the Era fancies him quite as much as the Cmsarewitch hero.—" Augur" decides solely in favour of Julius, who is also" Beacon's " selection. This horse will, it is said, be post-entered by the Duke of Newcastle ; it is reported that Sir Joseph Hawley will adopt the same tactics with regard to Blue Gown. The Sportentan says that previous to her departure for Paris, Vale Royal did good long work, and just before heleft galloped along the tan at Newmarket at a great pace, and went well. He has not been tried to stay two miles, but from the way be finishes his gallops there is no reason to doubt his staying powers, but of county this tells us of nothing conclusive. The Earl has been located along with Count Lagrange's horses, near Paris, for the last two or three days. Previous to his leaving England he did good three mile gallops, and on Sunday be may do something towards wiping out the disgrace which the inglorious figure cut by Lady Elizabeth at Epsom inflicted on the Danebury stable. FATAL STREET ACCIDENT.—An extraordinary ac cident occurred in High-street, Sheffield, yesterday morn ing. About 10 o'cloek, when the street was full of people, A large corner-stone fell from the top of the house men. pied by Mr. Brookes, confectioner. One woman was struck down dead, and six other persons were very much injured. They were removed to the general dispensary, and it is stated that one of them has since died.

The plaintiffs are William Browne, Joseph Harvey, and William Sloe Meredith, executors of the testatrix ; cud the defendants are the Right Hon. Sir Thomas Esmonde,Bark, her husband ; the Earl of Granard, her son-in-law ; the Countess of Granard, and the Hon. Mrs. Deane Morgan, her daughters Tha last named was on Thursday examined. She said : I am the eldest daughter of Lady Esmonde. She never spoke to me about making her will until after the change of reli gion by Lady Granard, which took place last year. I recollect Lady Famonde coming up to Dublin in May, 1867. On her return she told me she had altered her will, and she read me an extract from the draught will relating to a bequest to Trinity College. She said she left her property away from the Granards altogether. The docu ment was put into the band of witness, who identified it, and also stated that the bequest of 30,0001. to the Bishop of Descry and the Board of Trinity College for the esta blishment of a school for youths and students preparing for the ministry of the established church wu read to her by Lady Esmonde. Dr. Hudson and Mr. Meredith were also examined with regard to the last illness of Lady Bs monde and the signing of the will.

COMIC Sueozas.—The possession of a good voice seems to be quite unnecessary to success as a comic ginger. We hays heard several of the most popular of the music-hall tribe, and although they were all but entirely destitute of any dam to musical talent their imrformanoes were greeted with the utmost enthusiasm. The only re. gukdte for the attainment of popularity appears to be the ability to make all sort' of idiotic grimaces, throw about the legs and arms like a mansio, and indulge in imperti• a m .."'"W° lll RID 'eV tlf) grileict" 4 l•llV B aropee ter jw, THE Cuzco Prix De PARTS.— Of the twenty horses left engaged on Thursday, forfeit has since been declared on three others, thus reducing the number to the follow ing seventeen :—French : Sardanapale, Sedan, Bogus- Home, Neluako, Suzerain, La Jungfrau, and Virotiay. —English Captain Day's Lord Palmerston, Marquis of Hastings' The Earl, Mr. Hawksley's The Piper, Mr. Jackson's colt by Orlando and Bouquet, and colt by Adamas and Eva, Mr. Mackenzie's oolt by Van Galen and Charlotte Ruse, Mr. Martin Ryan's Mount-Druid, Mr. Savile's Blueskin, Lord Shur ford's Vale Royal, and Mr. Eastwood's The Sawyer. Of the latter lot many have no doubt been left in from forgetfulness on the part of their owners, and but few of them are likely to be seen at the starting post ; indeed the only one known with certainty to have arrived is The Earl. The rue, in fact, lies within a very narrow compass. The only hope of France is in Suzerain and Neluako, and as the latter was beaten by The Earl by nearly five lengths in the Biennial at the Newmarket Craven meeting, the Marquis of Hastings's horse should hold him safe ; besides The Earl the only English bones that have run with credit have been Vale Royal, Blueskin, and The Sawyer. The merit of the performances of the last-named do not, however, bear examination. Vale Royal finished among the last in the Two Thousand, but two days later, at the same meeting, beat Hippie, Grimston, and other good horses in a canter by ten lengths ; Blue skin won the Crest Metropolitan Handicap under favour of a light weight ; since then he has been three times beaten, once after a dead heat with Blinkhoolie at 2tilbs. for the year ; The Sawyer has won three races, but the horses which finished behind him were of a very mo. derate class. There remains The Earl, unquestionably the pick of the lot, and if his running in the Newmarket Biennial, in which he beat Blue Gown, the English Derby winner, is correct, he ought to be not far from the best of his year. What is rather singular is that both The Ranger and Ceylon, before carrying off the Grand Prix, had been sueoesidul in the same race at Newmarket, and we fully expect The Earl to win the same double event, while Suzerain and Vale Royal will dispute the second place.—Gabgnani.

Telegrams from Bombay, dated the 3rd inst., quote the exchange on London at Is. Ild. 5-16, showing a fresh reduction. A further important decline, however, must take place before any specie is likely to be sent to this country.

The smallness of the " public deposits " in the Bank of England excites attention, the total being 6,489,0911., as against 9,197,7071. at the corres ponding period of last year. The reduction is partly attributed to the expenses of the Abyssinian expedition. BRITISH POSSESSIONS. Bombay, Banda, mid Central India, guaranteed 5 pie emit., 105, 51, Gl.
