When su ffering from paroxysms of pa i n , his conduct was hasoef was most violent nature, and his chief anxiet y was that the might die, and thus put an end to his sufferings. A s h e still lingered, he determi ned to destroy himself. O n Tues day ho succeeded in obtaining a knife, and having by a pretext got rid of his attendants, cut across his stomach three times, causing his bowels to gush out in a mast horrible manner. Dr. Arthur shortly afterwards arrived, aul succeeded in sewing up the wound ; but as Jennings still announced his intention of terminating his existence, his arms were strapped securely across his chest to prevent his tearing the wound open. in this frightful state he at present lies without the slightest hope of recovery, and per tinaciously refuses to partake of any food, in the hope thereby of hastening death by starvation.—Liverpool Mer cury.

MARKETS---THIS DAY. MARK-LANE. The whole of the country markets, held on Saturday, were very dull for wheat, and a fall of ls. to fully 2s. per quarter took place in prices. The spring corn trade was devoid of animation, and sales, in most instances, could only be effected by submitting to lower terms. On the Continent, the corn trade has been in a most in active state, and the quotations have had a downward ten• dency. At New York, owing to increasing supplies, wheat, flour, and maize had given way in price. Limited supplies of English produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were 25,272 quarters of wheat ; 14,9'.0 barley ; 16,842 oats ; 2,200 beans ; 746 tares, 11,260 linseed ; 4,488 rapeseed ; 1,110 maize ; 87 sundry seeds ; 53 sacks and 6,463 bales of flour. The fresh at rivals of English wheat to this morning's market were much restricted, and the condition of the samples, generally speaking, was by no means first-rate. Owing to the fineness of the weather, as well as to the favourable accounts which have been received concerning the crops, the trade was very dull for all qualities, and it was impossible to transact business except by submitting to a further reduction in prices of from is to 2s per quarter. A considerable portion of the supply was left unsold at the olose of the market. _ _ The show of foreign wheat was large, a considerable proportion of which consisted of superior qualities, suitable to the London millers. All descriptions sold heavily, and compared with Monday last a fall of is to 2s per quarter took place ; but where sales were forced, ex ship, the latter figure was more general. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, and the quotations had a downward tendency. In the value of barley no quotable change took place. The better qualities were steady as to price, but low foreign parcels were difficult of sale. The malt trade was inactive at last Monday's quotations. For the time of the year the show of oats was by no means extensive. Good and fine samples moved off steadily at full prices, but inferior parcels met a dull market at barely late rates. With beans and peas the market was very moderately supplied. The demand for them, however, was far from active, nevertheless the quotations ruled firm. In all kinds of flour a limited business was transacted on rather easier terms. to 2s 4d ; pieces and locks, is to is sd.

A PROFESSIONAL BEGGAR.—William Newman, who had the appearance of an extraordinarily clean mechanic, was placed at the bar charged with begging. Horsford, jun., one of the Mendicity Society's officers, said—About half-past 10 this morning I saw the prisoner in Whitehall-place, following a gentleman, begging. Knowing him to be a professional beggar, from the fact that I had had him in custody twice before, I watched him closely. He was not successful in his first effort, and he then selected another gentleman near Northumberland House. I heard him say " I'm in great distress, pray assist me. I've work to go to, but the tools are in pawn, pray assist me to get 'em out." The gentleman walked on, and by this time the prisoner had got as far as King Wil liam- street, Strand, when he fixed on a third gentleman, and told him the same story. When I saw him get some thing given to him I then went up and took him into cus tody, and found two penny pieces in his hand. As soon as I had told him should take him into custody for begging, he managed to get a small packet of combs in his hand, which he had bad concealed up his sleeve, and then he said, " I've sold the gentleman a small comb for 2d." His system is not to stop gentlemen, but to walk by their side for a con siderable distance. He has been about London for the last three or i our years as a beggar. Mr. Henry—Well, what have you to say to the charge of begging ? Prisoner—l wasn't begging; I was selling combs, and its devilish hard a poor fellow- can't sell a few combs with out being collared for begging. Mr. Henry—But the officer says you were begging. Prisoner—Then believe him of course. (Laughter.) Do you think I should be knocking about ashore if I could get a day's work, but this is the beauty of being nearly blind. Mr. Henry—The officer says distir etly he heard you beg. Prisoner—He heard me trying to get a living. What's a poor man that's nearly blind to do. Mr. Henry—Why, to the workhouse in preference to begging. Prisoner—l don't want togo to the workhouse. I want to earn a living. I've been in the service for 12 years, and on my discharge I got 6d, a day for two years. Mr. Henry—What object can the officer have in telling an untruth ? Prisoner—What object Well, I'll tell you why, to get a conviction to be sure. (Laughter.) To do that he'll swear that black's white, and white's no colour at all. (Laughter.) He'd swear a man's head off, he would. (Laughter.) Horsford—l distinctly heard him begging, your worship. Prisoner—Oh I where do you expect to go to, (Laughter.) As a man, your worship, I tell you I wasn't begging ; but if you like to believe him in preference to me, of course you can. (Laughter.) You can do as you like. As for that fellow he'd not mind swearing anybody's life away. He's a bad 'un ,he is. (Laughter.) The evidence of the officer having been confirmed, Mr. Henry said—l've no doubt at all but that you were begging, and therefore I shall send you to'prison for three weeks. Prisoner—Very well, sir ; it's no use objecting. As he was leaving the dock the prisoner came very close to Horsford, and said—" You're a nice article, you are. You'll get it hot some day." METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. For the time of year, the show of foreign beasts here to day was limited, but the supply of sheep, lambs, and calves was tolerably good. Sales progressed slowly, at late cur- rencies. With English and Scotch beasts we were seasonably well supplied as to number, and their general quality was vew prime. The attendance of butchers was numerous, and the beef trade ruled somewhat firmer than last week. In prices, however, no change took place, the best Scots and crosses having sold at 4s 4d per Blbs. F r om Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,300 Scots and crosses; from other parts of Eng land, 700 various breeds ; and from Scotland, 480 Scots and crosses. The supply of sheep wa s moderately good, and all breeds came to hand in prime condition. On the whole the mutton trade was firm, and the currencies were well supported. The best old Downs realised 4s 10d per 81bs. The best half•breds were worth fully 4s Bd. Prime Down lambs were scarce, and in request, on higher terms, viz., from 7s 6d to 7s Bd, in some instances Bs, per 81bs, but inferior breeds ruled heavy, at barely pro • v ious rates. About 400 came to hand from the Isle of Wight. We have to report a slow sale for calves, at previous quo tations, viz., from 4s 2d to 5s 2d per 81bs. Prime small porkers sold steadily, at full prices. Large hogs, however, were very dull.

There were offers to take 100 to 4 agst Ensign ; and any slight advance upon the offer made would have been taken about either The Marquis or Buck• stone. For the Somersetshire Stakes, Dusk and West End were very firm, and Moorcock and Sappho were rather shaky. 6to 1 was at one time taken freely about Moor cock, but at the close Bto 1 was offered.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP. —The game struggle between James Mace and Thomas King for £2OO a-side, and the championship, Look place in January last, when, after one of the gamest battles of modern times for the belt, King (though he at one period made it as Mace himself after the tournay acknowledged, a great deal " too warm" to be pleasant) suffered defeat. There were strong expectations entertained that Tom would avail himself of the earliest opportunity of again entering the list with his successful opponent. Torn, however, did not challenge his antagonist. Since the contest above referred to, four months have elapsed without any candidate turning up for the champion honours. At length this calm has given place to active movements, and the initiative step has been taken by Bob Brettle, the leading man of the Birmingham division. Brettle,who has a faculty for looking up fresh " hardware," has recently intimated that he has di s covered a mean n cham- of sufficient merit to match a g ainst the accomplished pion of England for £2OO aside, and the belt. In pro of that Brettle is in earne st, he has deposited a "fiver," which has since been covered by Mace to make the the match, the a rticles for which hav e to be ratified during present week. Brettle's m an is styled the Unknorn," and as may be anticipated there is no little cur Singuliosity marlyanifested to ascer tain " the Unknown's" identity. enough, no sooner does there appear a fresh candidate in the field than Mace's old opponent King rouses to action, and comes forth desirous to enter the list, stating that he has goo d reaso ns to give to those who require an explanation" w h y he did not challenge Mace earlier. Torn as an earn es t that he also me ans business has posted the needful with the stakeholder at that gentleman's headquarter s; as and e thoug h he cannot p ut aside " the Unkn own" , 6 Mystery" was first in the field, yet if Brettle does not go on with the match, Mace, as the champion hammerman of the P.R., will have to strike t'other iron while it is hot. A match for the belt is closely impending. The Journal de Rouen announces a most im portant di , covery which will enable the m a n u f ac t u r e rs of cotton cloth to dispenso with the use of American cotton. It a ppears that a piece of cloth has b een manu f ac t ure d of a common plant which grows wild in the fields, and which will shortly be exhibited to a commission composed of ma nufacturers. The discovery has been communicated to the Emperor, who takes great interest in its success. MISCELLANEOUS._ Anglo-MeKican Mint Atlantic R. Ml. Stm (1d)) Atlantic Tel.

The following is from the Friend of India of April 22: !, For some months Ram Rao, a rebel who claims to be the natural head of the Mahrattas in the en forced absence of the rival pretensions of his uncle Nana Sahib, has been exciting discontent in Hyder bad, that focus of all intrigue since Oude was annexed. But for the energy of Salar J ung, t h e able minister who did so much in 1857, a conspiracy which Ram Rao had raised into dangerous propor tions by a liberal use of gold, might have been successful in causing a temporary outbreak. The leader and his assistants fled in time, and the for mer seems to have turned up near Sealkote, where he is said to have attempted to shake the fidelity of the chief of Cashmere. There his capture has been cleverly effected. lie was the friend and companion of Tantia Topee, whom he has somewhat resembled in his marvellous übiquity, and is not to be con founded with Bala Rao, who perished too soon for justice on the Nepaul frontier." COMMERCIAL (From the Calcutta Englishman, April 21, Evening.) PRODUCE MARKET. — We have no material changes to report in this market, for the three days intervening since our last mail have been close holidays. IMPORT MARKET.—Advises from the interior, reporting a large business at advancing prices, led to considerable sales in this market, and some advance was established on Manchester goods. The reduction in the rates of duty has, however, checked business, but holders show considerable firmness, and no decline has taken place. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.—There is little to report of the market for Government securities ; higher prices have been realised, and the favourable accounts from England have strengthened the hands of speculative holders, who look for a further advance when the Government purchase for account of the note currency. This we think very doubtful, even if the Government should purchase at these rates, which is not probable. MONEY MARKET.—There is no new feature to note in this market. The demand for business purposes is limited, and the supply very ample for all purposes. CHINA. The dates from China are Hongkong to April 14 and Shanghae to April 7. The news is almost en tirely confined to the proceedings of the rebels, be tween whom and the Europeans open and avowed hostilities are now acknowledged. The China Over- land Trade Report says : " Skirmishes have been frequent between the allied British and French force, assisted by the Taoutai's levies under the filibuster Ward on the one side, and the Taepings on the other. Two re verses of a serious nature have been sustained by the Taepings, and their cause in the neighbourhood of Shanghae is seriously damages. Sir John Mitchell, the British military commander-in-chief, has been superseded by Brigadier Stavely, who has been, since the Pekin treaty, commandant of the British garrison at Taku and Tien-tsin. " It would appear that the Imperial Government have really been making during the winter pre parations for a campaign on a large scale in the spring. A large force collected a few weeks ago on the north bank of the Yangtsze opposite to Nankin, i - and after wasting much time n menacing it at length attacked it. The Taepings again proved that their resources are greater than was deemed pos sible. They hurried a portion of their main army up from Hangchow, showing that the report which was current of a famine prevailing at Nankin was either untrue or greatly exaggerated. Had the Imperialists made their attack before these rein forcements arrived they would probably hav e been successful; but making it afterwards they failed miserably. Subsequently the Taepings made a sorties, and with comparatively a small number of men drove the Imperialists before them. " The strength of the Taepings may now be partially estimated with some degree of precision. They have large garrisons at Soochow and Hang chow. They are being besieged at Wuhu, an im portant city on the Yangtze. They hold Nankin, as already explained, and then there is this heavy force menacing Shanghae. Besides all these, they hold other places not so well known to foreigners, and it should be observed that much uneasiness pre- ;ails even at Canton regarding them. Although the allied British and French can undoubtedly easily bombard and eject the Taepings from Shanghae, Ningpo, Wuhu, and Nankin, there really appears nothing worth mentioning to arrest the march of these immense masses of insurgents south. Nor does there appear anything reliable to prevent them from carrying out their threat of ravaging the tea and silk districts. _ _ —.._ " Admiral Hope continues to attack the Taepings in the most implacable manner. He appears quite insensible to danger in his measures against them. He had a narrow escape of being made prisoner a short time since, and has at length been wounded in the leg whilst reconnoitring, accompanied by a few of the Taoutai's levies. . _ • " Tien-tsin is to be evacuated by the allied garri son immediately, and only a small Britishforce wil, be kept in one of the Taku forts until the balance of the indemnity shall be paid. The troops this relieved will of course be made available on the Yangtsze. About 1,000 French troops have been sent on from Saigon. These have already been despatched north. " Her Majesty's minister at Pekin still throws difficulties in the way of British merchants and missionaries visiting Pekin. This is the more pro voking, inasmuch as other foreigners are permitted to go by their authorities without let or hindrance, nor do the mandarins throw the smallest obstacle in the way. " As for tradal matters they continue a subject of congratulation. The spring has not yet suffici ently far advanced to admit of the season commenc ing, but the vigorous preparations which are being made at Hankow and Kewkiaug uumistakeably in dicate that a good trade is anticipated. At both these ports the Imperial levies continue their ag gressive conduct towards foreigners and are almost intolerable. It is likely that ships will load at Hanchow next season direct for London, The Peiho is nearly clear of ice, and prospects are good, although business had not fa irl y commenced. The trade of Foochow will be good if this matter of the contemplated attack by the rebels can be overcome. At Canton as much tea is expected as was received last year. " The prohibition which was stipulated in the treaty against the exportation of pulse, &c., from the northern ports in foreign bottoms has been wit h_ drawn. This will be highly beneficial to shipping. "At Japan matters appear more tranquil. Air. Alcock, the British M inister, has va cated the post,: permanently it is supposed.

Immediy y it is known in what direction they are, armed parties sally forth to attack them, almost invari ably with success, and for the time being drive the murderous rascals away, sometimes with heavy loss on their part but rarely much damage to the troops. In this harassing work great credit is due to Capt. Holland, R.M., and the marines of her Majesty's ship Imperieuse, who have in the most indefati gable manner scoured the country in all directions for many miles around the settlement, succouring the industrious inhabitants, and giving the rascally Taepings a taste of British prowess. " Ou the morning of the 3d inst. a combined expedition of English and French naval and mili tary forces started from the settlement to attack the rebel camp at Wong kadza, which has been the head-quarters of the marauding parties devastating the western environs of Shanghae. The expedition had been in contemplation for some ti which past, and only awaited further reinforcements, which were obtained on the arrival of the sth Bombay Native Light Infantry from Hong -Kong. All the avail able troops and blue jackets from the ships of War i in the harbour were mustered and marched out on 1 the day mentioned, equipped for active service, and the prospect of a warm engagement. That night the whole force bivouacked at a rendezvous a few miles from the camp, which was 12 miles west of 1 the settlement. " On the morning of the 4th they marched on the camp, driving in the outpost of the enemy, and about ten a.m., stormed the intrenchments, which were of a very formidable character. The rebels showed fight, but evidently the great body of them had escaped by the rear. There was a sufficient number, however, to do some damage to the attack ing force, for we learn that two or three men on our side have been killed and several wounded. Among the latter is Dr. Escott, of the Snake, The camp was soon taken by storm, and the rebels, who fled beyond the entrenchments, were attacked in the rear by some Imperial troops, with consider able loss. The fortifications were as far as practi cable, destroyed, and the entrenchments rendered untenable. It was conjectured that the retreat ing rebels would retire upon Tbing-poo, when in all probability their progress would be inter cepted attacked edb th e e Colonel anip in h Ward's troops,te rear. whower e to have That further fighting had taken place was supposed by our inform ant , who heard ha afternoon as he st arte d to return e to vy th fi e ri s e e g ttle in me t n h t e . On his way he met some Imperialists heads of Chun Maos to their camp, one man having fifteen strung up by the hair. In addition foregoing we learn that Admiral Sir James Hope, seeing so little accomplished in consequence of the main body of the rebels having fled, a • ccompanted Colonel Ward with a party of his men, told off to attic& a second position of the enemy. They had scarcely come within gunshot of this post when the insurgents seeing only Chinese troops advancing, made a rush at them, and the Imperialists retreated without effecting their object. In the skirmish a, stray bullet wounded the British admiral in the leg, which necessitated Lis returning to Sik-a-way for • medical assistance. The whole party is expected to return to the settlement to-morrow." COMMERCIAL. - - TEA.--The business of the fortnight has been small, prices are firm, and have an upward tendency, but the small assortment remaining is hardly sufficient to indicate a mar ket. The supplies next season will be large, unleEs the movements of the rebels interrupt the trade. Shipments of new congous will probably be made direct from Hankow to London. Large supplies are expected there. The Canton men have managed to secure 200 to 300 chops, which will be sent down to Canton as usual. Sanguine expectations are entertained of Kewkiang as a market for green teas in future. At Foochow as much tea is expected as there was the present season, The shipments this season to Great Britain are expected to be 91,000,0001 b. TILE TRAGEDY IN LUDGATE-HILL. CORONER'S INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.) The Coroner's inquiry into the causes connected with the deaths ol Anne Howard Vyse, aged seven, and Alice Vise, aged five years, commenced this afternoon at the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, before Mr. Payne, the coroner for the City of London. _ . Mr. Humphries, jun., the solicitor, to watch the case on the part of Messrs. Keating, chemists, St. Paul's Church yard, and Mr. Vining attending for the family of Mr. Vyse. The jury having been sworn proceeded to ♦iew the bodies. On their return, the first witness called was, Mr. John Saunders Moon, residing at Oakley-road, Islington, said he was a member of the Stock Exchange. He knew the two deceased children, one was Anne Howard Vyse, aged six years and 10 months, the other Alice Kate Vyse, aged five years. They were the children of Valen- , tine and Ann Cornish Vyse. . We shall continue the report in our late edition. THE MIDDLE LEVEL _FLOOD. LYNN, SUNDAY AFTERNOON. The tides began to increase yesterday, and the authorities are busily engaged in cradging the tope of the several banks in the neighbourhood, as they will continue to increase till next Friday or Satur day, when higher tides are anticipated than were the last "springs." The statement as to the clan-, gerous state of the Terrington banks turns out to be correct, as workmen have been engaged strength ening them. All the barges have at length been ordered from the neighbourhood of the dams that are in course of construction. This has not been done till after considerable damage has been done by their being repeatedly driven from their moor ings and dashed against bridges and dams, &c. We have just returned from the sluice, and found there about two hundred mien at work. The principal work being done is the coffer-dam, where piles about 46 feet long are being driven, commencing at both sides of the cut. If no unlooked-for catastrophe occurs to this work, and if the proceedings are pushed on with alacrity, it is likely that the coffer dam may be completed in a fortnight or three weeks. The earth-dam lower down the cut, and upon which so much reliance was placed, was being constructed by Mr. Muller, the Dutchman, and that work ham been positively abandoned. This has been done by the order of the engineers. Several thousand sacks of shingle have been thrown in, but the scour carries these away almost as easily as the earth. Mr. Muller's dam had progressed to such an extent that at low water there was only some five feet of water over it. It is intended to try if stone can resist the pewer of the tides, and two thousand tons of stone have been ordered from Yorkshire. The new sacks ts holm are nearly all used, and another order h ueds been given for twelve thousand sack s to be supp ro mediately. Under the pres ent arrangemen w _ ever, it is not believed that much pgress made.

He was instantly attended by the most eminent medical men in the hospital at the time, and the utmost skill was used to aid him, but he had been seized with apoplexy, and though nothing which could be done was omitted, he expired peacefully within an hour of the attack.
