They so lerfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication.

A STEAMER LOST IN THE CHANNEL, AND NUMEROUS VESSELS DRIVEN ASHORE. • At the height of the storm on Sunday morning a fine screw steamer, called the Ida, outward bound, wae cast ashore to the eastward of Dungeness. The lives of the passengers and crew were placed in imminent peril--one ' of the hands meeting with a watery grave. The I la, which was upwards of 600 tons burden, was bound for the west coast of Africa. She left the river on Friday, with a miscellaneous cargo and 14 passengers, under the charge of Mr. Cooper, a sea pilot, who was to go with her to the Isle of Wight. She drove from her anchers to within a short distance of the shore, where she again held on for the greater part of Saturday night. On the following morning, however, the heavy rolling seas forced her upon the coast at Dymchurch, upon what is called the Wall, where she bscaine a wreck. 0 wing to the surf; all access to the ship was impracti cable. Happily a communication was made to the wreck by a life line, by which means the whole of the passengers and crew were hauled ashore in safety with the exception of the boatswain. Her loss, with cargo, will amoent to several thousand pounds. They were b stb insured. Within a short distance of the spot where the Ida was wrecked, and about four miles to the westward of,lty,e harbour, a coasting vessel belonging to Sunderland, named the John and Mary, Mr. Johnson, master, from Caen, bound for London, was driven ashore at 11 o'clock on Sunday morning, and soon became a wreck ; the master and crew succeeded in saving themselves, but the master's wife and four children perished. About the same time on Sunday morning a wreck was seen off Shoreham, running from the westward, with a flag of distress flying in the rigging. The gale was then blow ing W.S.W., with ince-sant rain. ,The lifeboat was got out, manned by pilot and hovellers, and with the as sistaace of a tug, they succeeded in saving the ship. She proved to be the Elizabeth, Captain Normandale from Cardiff for Londoh. She was in a most 4eplore-t>le-con. 'ditinh, might tTie crew having 'died at the pumps. She was eventuallSs brooght into the harbour with five or six feet of water in her hold. Another wreck took place on Sunday morning, near Dymchurch. It was that of the French brigantine Henri, Captain Baubille, of Nantes, bound from the north. At daylight she was descried by the Coast guardsmen ashore near the Graud Tower at Dynichurch, with the helpless crew lashed te the rigging and the sea beating over them. The Co: at ;hard immediately ob tained all necessary assistance, and by the aid of life lines from the shore managed to rescue the whole of the ship's company with the exception of one man, who was swept overboard and drowned. The vessel lies a wreck. A large fleet of vessels were in the vicinity of the Downs, when they were overtaken by the gale, and were compelled to put back; many running into Rams gate, Dover, &c., for shelter. Several large ships brought up and laboured heavily. Nearly 20 went into Ramsgate with loss of chain and cable, and having sus tained other damage by coming in collision. Lower down Channel the gale appears to have been very destruutive in its consequences. The Sarah, be longing to Plymouth, bound to Newport from South ampton, was, during the height of the gale on Sunday morning, driven from her anchorage on to the Milkmaid Bank, a dangerous shoal at the entrance of the harbour. When seen from' the shore the sea was sweeping over her with prodigious force. The crew were in the tops crying for help. As soon as their perilous position was observed, two pilots, named Thomas Hart and John Kina, volunteered to go to their rescue. They went off in the Contractor steamer, and, on getting to the wind ward, a boat was lowered. They were partly sheltered by the steamer, and this enabled them to reach the poor fellows, who were all safely taken off. The ship soon afterwards broke up. At Swansea and its neighbourhing coast Lloyd's agent writes to say that it blew a hurricane the whole of Saturday night and 'Sunday, wind E.S.E. The havoc among the coasting vessels was of the most serious ex tent ; 14 vessels are reported to have been driven ashore during the night, and several of them afterwards sunk. Among them was the Pioneer, of Exeter ; Amity, of Bristol ; Emmett,. of Aberyetaith ; Happy Couple, of Newport ; Monkey, of Drogheda ; and the Tidy, of Cardigan —crews saved. At Cardiff several vessels drove in Penarth Roads and sustained consider able damage. The gale appears to have been equally severe along the east coast. The barque Coromandel, Captain Anderson, bound to London with timber from the White Sea, was totally lost on the Ridge Sands off Yarmouth. The iron paddlewheel steam vessel Fire Queen, Mas ter Comrnauding F. H. Paul, which arrived at Plymouth on Sunday morning, reports the total loss of the mer chant schooner Sarah, of Plymouth, wrecked in Stud land Bay, Poole ; the crew were six hours in the rigging and were saved by a small steamer out of Poole. Accounts from other parts of the coast enumerate more disasters, and it is computed that upwards'of 50 vessels have been east ashore during the recent beieter ous weather, the larger portion of which must inevitably be lost. BRIGHTON, SEPT. 29. The weather during the past week has been moat bois terous, and its effects have been sensibly felt along the southern coast, and particularly so off this town on Saturday and Sunday. On the former day the tide ran exceedingly high, and there was a very heavy sea on, equalling in severity the recent gales, though, fortunately, ❑ot attended with such fatal results. On Sunday, as the tide approached its height, the sea raged and foamed violently, but with leas intensity than on the preceding day. Its effects, however, were more seriously felt, doing damage to the extent of several hundred pounds to a jetty or outfall opposite the Albion Hotel, which has within the last year or two been extended some 200 1 or 250 feet into the eea. The violence of the waves tore up the piles and planking out of the chalk in which they were imbedded, and large portions of the shattered work, floated westward, were deposited on the beach. The Chain-pier, we believe, fortunately escaped damage. At Hestia; the gale wis als• seve7ely felt. SHIELDS, SUNDAY NIGHT. - A veryheavy gale from the eastward has prevailed upon the north-east coast during the past 48 hours, blowing with great violence last night, and a very fearful sea is rolling on the coast. At tide-!itne this afternoon the mouth of the Tyne presented an animated and exciting spectacle, vessels light and laden dashing through the foaming waters upon the bar for the ,port ; fortunately, with the exception of a few that have lost their bulwark , , to the time of clo•ing this de ;patch they have all got in in safety. The sea has done a good deal of injury to the pier works on the north aide of the river, and the Tyne is much flooded, the heavy rains baying sent down the " freshets" from the west. Several vessels broke adrift last ebb, but no serious amount of injury has arisen. A large iron screw steamer, the Sylph, should have sailed for St. Petersburg yesterday, with a valuable cargo. She has fortunately been detained in port, for, as she is deeply laden, she would have been in a perilous position in the North Sea in such weather as was experienced last night. Less rain has fallen this evening, and the weather looks better. GLASGOW, SEPT. 29. Since the gale of last February, which swept over the country, and wrought such direful havoc amongst chim ney stacks, buildings, plantations, and the shipping, we have not been visited with such severe or stormy wea ther as during the last two days. Saturday was a very wet and disagreeable day. About six o'clock in the evening the wind began to whistle and moan in a man ner betokening grater violence as the night would ad vance. Towards 12 o'clock it blew a perfect gale, which continued without intermission till the Sabbath morn• ing was far advanced, when it gradually became more calm and settled. During midnight, while the storm raged, a few chimney cans were swept from the and in the more elevated parts of the city several new buildings were more or less injured, wooden pailings were torn up, and outhouse doors wrenched from their hinges, and hurled over garden walls. 4, portion of the gable of a fine house in tne course of erection at Buckingham terrace, Hillhead, on the Great Western-road, was blow n down ;in Scott-street, Garuett-sill, about 40 feet of wooden palling were torn out of the ground and thrown across the street, and a portion of a house chimney, some of the stones of which weighed nearly a cwt., was overturned. An old brick building in Cadogan-street, belonging to Mr. Tennant, St. Rollos, and which was used as a marble-work, was also levelled. In the channel, the storm raged with great violence, and must have done considerable damage to the shipping. The steamers from Belfast and Liverpool had not reached the Broomielaw up to near midnight last evening, but, as the weather would in all likelihood be as coarse at those places as it was here, these vessels would probably delay sailing till the weather became more settled. It will be observed from our Greenock intelligence that the storm in that quarter was unusually severe, and that a number of vessels were blown ashore and seriously damaged. We have no intelligence from the country ; but, as a large quantity of grain was cut and in stooks, there can be no doubt that considerable damage must have been done. No loss of life has as yet been reported.---Wortlt British Daily Mail. DUBLIN, SHPT. 29. We do not remember an autumn season during the past 20 years wherein mildness of temperature, and even heat like that of summer, have been so suddenly cue ceeded by cold, wet, and tempestuous weather as during the present month. The storm so long brewin 7 seemed to burst forth in all its violence on Friday n i g h t, wh en a tempest of wind and rain—unequalled for many years in our.mennory—visited, as we ler,taud, the caqern coast of Ireland. The gale on Friday uniht did not reach its full intensity fur some hours—at least in Dub lin. At or about the hour of one o'clock on Saturday morning the storm reached its fullest fury and intensity. The wind could scarcely be said to come from an y dis tinct quarter, but rushed in fearful gusts, howling and raging through the empty streets as it seemed from every point of the compass. The rain came down in tinbroken sheets of water, and to add to the horror of the night, several flashes of lightning broke forth, giving a trio. mentary and dismal illumination to the scene. At Car lisle-bridge the water might be seen pouring in a regular flood from the centre towards Sackville.street, while against the abutments of the bridge on the east side the water of the river, lashed into foam, broke with great violence. On Saturday evening the City of ,Dublin Corapany'e steamers Ballieasloe and Birmingham left the North Wall for Liverpool, as did also the Duke of Cambridge steamer and the Standard screw boat. The Ocean and Hercules steamers sailed fir Holyhead. These vessels must have encountered thefull weight of the storm, and their fate has become a master of serious apprehension. The Calypso screw steamer, belonging to the British Steam Navigation 'Company, commanded by Captain Crawell, arrived at 10 o'chck yesterday morning from Bristol, being 24 hours lat,, and having experienced one of the most arduous and chng(4ous passages which the able captain of the ship remembers in his lifetime. Capt. Crawell informed us that he lefe Bristol on Frid .y even ling at half-past 4 o'clock, and encountered in the Channel a storm unequalled in violence in his experience. He had to bear up for Alilford to repair some damages, and left that port at 4 o'clock on Satoiday evening. While in the Cnannel he fell in with theAchooner.Friendship, of Plymeutb, which vessel was dieebled, with her mainmast carried away. The Calypso bote down on the distressed vessel and hailed her. Captain Crawell asked her com mander to come on board the Calypso with his crew. He refused to do so ; but asked that the Calypso should pass a hawser on board him, and take his vessel in tow. After two hours' towing the hawsers parted, and, as it was then coming on night and the gale increaSing, Capt. Crawell was obliged, reluctantly, to forego . his humane efforts, having in his care a fintthip, with 23 cabin and 30 steerage passengers, togethef with a valuable cargo. Capt tin Crewell says that the *mon then. blew with a violence defying all descripti on / He had enough to do to preserve the eafety of his owe vessel,.and it is much to he feared that the haple-s ere/ of the schooner have suffered the penalty of their coninander's obstinacy. Dublin river presented yeitterOlyeleveral' painful illus trations of the fury of the storm ! the surface of the water being covered with masses of,ageictiltural produce, hay, and corn, and even the bodies+ of drowned animals; also, large trees which had bee, torn up by the roots. i r Ile Usk, small paddle steam e r, tiding between Dublin Wexford, broke from her x4eringe;in the river. yes terday evening, and came broefiklie iet e contact with-a . lave bark - the garnets err; ' 'The - eteainer iqbei veld ' -such injure by the eelision that 'she broached/to and filled. The moil steamer which left here on - Friday for Liverpool fell in with a bark laden with coals, bound' fer St. John's, New Brunswick. The bark was in a die at led condition, and the mail succeeded in towing her into Kinvtown harbour,. which presented yesterday a novel appearance. Numerous vessels, evidently bound for other places, were there moored for shelter. On the east side of the pier a fine smack, the Robert and Mary, bound from Whithaven to Drogheda, went ashore and in a short time became a total wreck ; the crew were saved by the exertions of the coastguard and police. The ship Martin Luther came in in distress ; she was boarded by Capt. Hutchinson, harbour master; she is bound from Quebec to Liverpool, with timber. The Greyhound schooner, bound from Lisbon to Drogheda, with corkwood, ran for Kingstowirharbour, but got ashore at the back of the coal wharf ; she was towed off into the old harbour by the Liffey tug steamer. The frigate Forth lies snug in harbour, with all her light spars struck. Along the northern coast we could learn that the dime trous influence of the storm has been severely felt. Be tween Leytown and Bettystown a vessel lies ashore on a sand reef. The sea was running so high during yes terday that it was impossible for a boat to live in the surf breaking around the ill-fated craft. During the brief intervals when the weather lifted, the crew, we are told, could be seen clinging to the rigging. The mist end spray, however were so thick that our reporters could not make out distinctly the' size and build of the stranded vessel. It was stated that the crew have been 24 hours in this fearfully precarious situation, expect ing momentarily to be overwhelmed by the sea, there being no means of rescuing them unless the weather moderates. At 11 o'clock last night the gale had slightly abated, but it still blew heavily in the Channel. — Dublin Free man. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PARKS. In all the metropolitan parks great improvements are being made. In Hyde-park the walks have been re-laid, Rotten-row has been enlarged, the filthy outlet from the Serpentine has been cleansed, and an outfall made ready for letting off the waters of the lake when ever it may be desired to empty it. The unsightly para pets of the bridge which formerly contracted R)tton-row and the adjacent walks have been wholly removed, and the approach to Kensington-gar lens, near the Magazine, has been made more available for carriages and foot pas sengers. The narrow footpath leading from the Serpen tine to the bridge has been more than doubled in width. The unsightly barriers which prevented carriages from setting down at the corners has been removed, and the grand walk i from the point on which the band plays on the week days, has been cuntinned by the, north end of the bridge, along the fine avenue, to Victoria-gate. In St. James's-park the lake has been emptied, and the foul mud is covered with quick lime and perfectly deodorised. The bottom of this lake will he brought to a uniform level, suffi ciently shallow to prevent those fatal accidents which an nually occur in the skating season. In order to prevent the inconvenience resulting from the ferry not being now available, the Chief Commissioner has ordered a causeway to be run across the bed of the lake, which will be available for foot passengers, until such time as the suspen , ion bridge is erected, and the lakes filled, when the stuff of which the causeway is formed will be removed and used in levelling the bottom of the lake. The bed of this lake will, previous to the water being let in, be covered with concrete, so that at any future time the water may be let off through the main outfall which was made last spring. The surface of the concrete may be easily cleaned, and the lake will thus be always clear. This work will be completed during the winter and the early part of the spring, and the works in the Serpentine will probably not be commenced until after the next L mdon season. In connection with St James's-park is the opening by the German Chapel. Already the new footway is com pleted, and the carriage way for cabs from " Pall-Mall to Pi►nlico" will be open in a few days, judging from the present state of the works. It will be recollected that a proposal was made to take down the German Chapel, so that tie opening might be improved from Pall-mall. This was objected to, and one member of the House of Com• nuns described the proposition as almost horrible, and declared the chapel to be a " gem of art." The opposition was successful ; the chapel stands out as a complete ob struction to the thoroughfare ; and the propriety of its removal is obvious to any person coming from the Park to Pall•mall. In the Green•park handsome new entrances have been made in front of Devonshire-house, Half moon-street, and Dawn•street, in lieu of the narrow •rper , egs previously existing in those places. Gravel walks are being laid down in lines denoted by the track of the public as thoroughfares much used, and the site of the filihy unwholesome reservoir adjoining Piccadilly, and which was formerly the recep•acle of dead dogs and cats, and not unfrequently wretched foundlings, and the waters of which were drunk by the occupants of the neighbouring houses, and at one time supplied the palace, is now a green sward, the brightness of which forms a strong contrast to the original appearance of the ground ; while, in consequence of the destructicn of the entrenchment, the eye is carried over the park, the whole of the ground below forming part of the landscape. While these improvements have progressed in " the Royal parks," the other parks have not been neglected. In Victoria Park a new plantation is being formed on the east side, to shut off the cold wind which sweeps over the park, which is found so disagreeable, and which gives such a bleak appearance to the - enclosure. The walks and roads are being improved, and handsome sub stantial iron railings are now erecting► in those parts where they are required. The water of the hathir g lake and the other lake has a greater flow from the increased supply, and light wire fences are to be erected round the ne a , plantations instead of the cumbrous and expensive poets and rails which disfigured this much-valued resort of the working classes of the east end of Landon. In the Regent's Park the walks have also been improved. The narrow entrance at Gloucester-gate, which admitted of the passage of only one carriage at a time, has been enlarged so as to adm►t of ingress and egress ; and hand souse iron gates, similar to those by Mariborough•house, in Pall-mall, have been erected. The lodge has been thrown back and rebuilt. But while the 'First Commis siontr of Works has done his part of the undertaking, his constituents who form the Paving Board of St. Pan cras have not exhibited any signs of vitality. The very narrow bridge over the canal still remains as before, a greater and more ostensible nuisance than ever, now that the opening to the park is completed, and no prepara tions appear to have been made by the representatives of " loc id self-government" for completing the improve ment which the neighbourhood demanded —and which the increasing traffic required. The bridge over the canal should be widened at least 20 feet, and better access should be afforded to Albany-street and the park. Near Aveuue-road a new foot entrance has been made for the accommodation of the inhabitants of the north-west side of the park, and the passage near Kent-terrace has been opened to the public. In all these places of public resort the number of seats has been generally increased. The inconvenient upright bars which prevented the entrance of perambnlators,and oecni_ioned a squeeze to persons of not extraordinary size, at the various foot gates, have been removed, and the hertrago, c'eanlinees and enjoyment of the Victoria and Regent's Parks have been improved and increased I y the prohibition, by the First Commissioner, of any pas turage by cattle. Sheep only are admittrel in these parks. It is expected that those who have the power in Hyde-park will follow the example which has been set in the other parks, and that the walks and grass of Hyde-park may soon be as free from the nuisanees con sequent upon pa.sterage by cows as the other parks are. It, as it is said, there are some subordinate officers who claim a right of the " run of a cow," let them be settled with. The day is gone by for such privileges of annoy ance to the public. such an outline of some of the im• provemente in our metropolitan parks, which may rank with any in Europe, the maintenance and preservation of which are so highly prized by her Majesty's subjects. PETERVINED •86ICIDE AT BIRIIINOL,A A suicide of a somewhat extraordinary character oc curred at the Hen and Chickens Hotel, Birmingham, on Thursday last, the particulars of which were in some measure explained at the inquests held on Friday and Saturday evenings. It appeared that on Wednesday last Mr. George Whitehead, of Beccles, Suffolk, a gen kleman who had slept at the hotel during the preceding night, retired to his chamber about midday, and, net being seen again up to Thursday morning, Mr. Smith, the proprietor of the hotel, became somewhat apprehen sive, and knocked loudly at the door of his apartment. Repeiving no response the room was forcibly entered, and a ghastly sight presented itself. In a pool of blood upon the floor Mr. Whitehead lay, face downwards, his face covered with clotted blood, and in his right band a pistol firmly grasped, with his forefinger resting upon the trigger. It was evident the deceased had committed self-destroction by discharging the contents of the pistol into his mouth. He was quite dead. Some shots and a quantity of ganpowder were lying about the room. The body lay there until Friday 'night, when Dr. Birt Davies, the. borough coroner, held an official investiga tion before a highly respectable jury respecting the death of the deceased gentleman. The first witness examined was Thomas Bartholomew, waiter at the Hen and Chickens, and he deposed that the deceased cane to the hotel on the preceding Tuesday morning, about half-past nine :o'clock. He entered the coffee-room and ordered breakfast, which witness served him . with. After paying his bill he said to witness, " Waiter, I feel vary much - .fatigued ; I've travelled a long way, and, should liketo lie down for an hour or so." Witness replied, "Very well, Sir, I'll get you a quiet room." 'Shortly afterwards'the deceased was shown by one of the chaubermaida; to a bedroom. Witness did not fre . t3 the deceased again until Wednesday morning, when he called for a glass of sherry in the coffee-room. Tee decessd told hint,• as he was drinking the wine, that be bad been to -Iriverpoolr.and -still felt very—Much fa:igued. He then' had a sraind glass of sherry; and immediately afervards Tose from-his seat and appeared unwell. He then Proceeded into the yard, where he vomited, and in about five minutes returned to the coffee-:ot m, wt en , wi.ness asked him if he - was any better. His reply was, "Ves t a little ; but the fact is my stomach is weak, and I% not had anything to eat since those two eggs you gave me yesterday morning." He a 'ded, "I've travelled a long disrance ; my house is 200 miles distant, and I left in a hurry, without a change." He said he thought he should have to go to Liverpool again on the morrow, and should therefore sleep at the hotel that night. Witness recommended him to have a warm bath, but be said " No," and producing a little fiat bottle front his pocket requested that it might be filled with brandy-and-water, which he said would make him sleep better. The deceased soon after wards repaired to his bedchamber, and witness saw him no more until he was dead. From the deceased's man ner witness imagined that he had something on his mind. He seemed very thoughtful, but not excited. Mr. Francis Sthith, proprietor of the Hen and Chickens Hotel, stated that on looking through his daybook on Wednesday night, according to his usual custom, he dis covered that nothing had been hooked to the deceased during that day. On making inquiries be learned that Mr. Whitehead had gone to bed in the middle of the day. The chamber occupied by the deceased was near witness's own bedroom, and when he retired to rest, about half-past 12, feeling somewhat uneasy at Mr. Whitehead's continued absence, he listened fur a few minutes at his bedroom door, but heard nothing of him. Next morning, about 11 o'clock, on going through the books, witness found that the deceased had not breakfasted, and immediately sent Bartholomew, the waiter, to his bedroom door. He returned and said. the door was locked, and he could snake no one hear him. Witness then went to the door and knocked loudly, but there was no reply. He then pladed a ladder against the.bedroorn window of the deceased and looked into the apartment, when he saw a pistol lying on a book upon the tab!'e. Witness then directed the "boots" to enter the chamber through the window and unlock the room door, He did so, and wit ness on entering the room beheld the deceased lying on the floo-, face downwards, in'a pool of blood. His face was too much covered with clotted blood for - any wound to be observable. 'He was quite dead, cold, and stiff, and his right hand Ailnly grasped a discharged pistol. On searching,the pockets of the deceased a pocketbook and various other articles werefound. In the book, which container) fqr tho most part memoranda relating to Mr.' Whitehead's business, the following entry was made : " Mr. Smith, landlord,—Havelhe goodness -to forward this melancholy intelligence to Mr. W. Wriht, book binder, Beccles Suffolk. He will break it to my dear wife. I scarcely-know what I write." On the following leaf was also written : _ _ " My ever dear Wife.—Ere you receive this melan choly intellige, cs I shall be no more. What must have been your anxious hours since I left my. house I I know that you have nothing to support yourself ; only you have been too kind. God Almighty prilteat Lind inppott "- you, and forgive my worst enemies. Your affectionate, though wretched husband, George Whitehead." Ann Adkins, a chambermaid, was the next witness. She deposed that, according to the orders of the deceased, she went to his bedroom doer to knock on Wednesday aftern.on. S'ae found, however, that the deceased was already up and dressed. He said he wanted to wash, and witness gave him a towel. About a minute after deceased rang his bell, and witness entered the room, upon which he gave her some coppers, and said " Per haps I shan't see you again before I go." Witness went again to the room about half-past 7 o'clock, and found that the door was locked on the inside. This was the whole of the evidence forthcoming on Friday evening. A somewhat singular fact in connec tion with the lamentable affair is, that the report of the pistol was not heard by any person in the hotel. It was stated that three telegraphic communications and also a letter had been sent to the friends of the deceased, but no answer bad been received. Under these circum stances, and from the fact that a post mortem examina tion had not yet been made up to that time, the coroner adjourned the inquest until Saturday night, and in the meantime the body was removed from the hotel. Oa Saturday night the inquest was accordingly re sume 1, when Mr. Norman, a gentleman from Beccles, an acquaintance of the deceased, and who had accompa nied Mrs. Whitehead, upon hearing of her husband's death, to Birmingham, was the first witness ca led. He deposed that he had known tho deceased, who was, in the building trade, for many years, and that he saw bim last at Beccles on Monday morning. For the last six months he had considered him extremely nervous, and sometimes apparently as not knowing what he was about. Three or f of his relatives had been confined for insanity. He left Beccles without the knowledge of his wife. Deceased was in partnership with his brother, but a dissolution was to take place on the 6th of January next. This circumstance witness thought might have some influence upon his mind. He was not given to drinking, but was a man of temperate habits. It appeared that on the morning of the day the de cea•ed committed suicide he purchased a brace of pistols from Mr. Bates, of Steelhouse•lane, and, according to the evidence of that gentleman, he appeared to be in his perfect senses. The coroner having briefly summed up, the jury re turned a verdict of " Insanity." SUICIDE OF A MONEY-TAKER OF THE II: 1N 'STEAM BoATS.—Yesterday morning Mr. W. Carter held an hr quest at Via Boileau Arms, Barnes, on James Hardwick, a middle-aged man, who, on Thursday, was found dead in the river, about 200 yards from Hammersmith-bridge. The pockets of the deceased were searched, and in one of thorn was a. piece of paper, in which WP9 wrapped a ring, and on it was written the following :—" James Hardwick, 175, Southwark-bridge-road, that will find my friends and family.-25th Sept.—God bless you all until I see you in heaven." The deceased had been mo ney-taker at Blackfriare-bridge, but sent instead to Strand-on-the-Green, and was in consequence very de sponding, thinking he should ultimately be discharged, although Mr. Binney, a gentleman connected with the company, stated that, as the unfortunate man was ill, he was removed, for the benefit of his health only, to the latter Owe.

THE CORONATION AT MOSCOW. - ( Prom the Tintcs' Special Cori.esponclent.) MOSCOW, SEPT 19. 1 shall begin with my postscript. , To-day there will be grand manoeuvres of the troops, weather permitting, and, to judge from - the present aspect, of the morning, weather will not permit, for it'ts raining fast. Indeed wo have tempted the climate too long, and now we are horrified:l)y hearing of the probability of it turning to snow, as it has been known to do occasionally in , the month of July. The fetes are dragging their slow length alcing,but it has been found necessary to alter the programMe a little, and to hurry on the proceedings, so as to get them all within the month. The Emperor and Imperial family will proceed to the' holy city of Kieff after the, coronation festivities have terthi stated, in order to perform his devotions,sin ac cordance with the custom. of the- Czars on euch occasions —the coronation being a purely religiousand uusecular ceremony. The - most interesting portions of the programme relate to the grand•bal masque for the people at the Kremlin, at which 30,000 persons are expected to be present ; but supper will only be provided for persons of the few first classes. The dinner to the 200,000 people in the plains outside Petrovsky Chateau will be the next best sight; but it is said to be a s cram bl e , after 11. Each person rushes at the table at a signal given by the Emperor, and seizes what, he can get and rushes off with it. The move of this fierce onslaught is said to be this. Each peasant struggles to get a picce of meat to take away with him. This he religiously preserves till he gets home to his family or friends, when he says, "I have dined with the Czar to-day. Lo ! here is the meat the Czar has given me ;" when they all fall to and eat eritlasmuch...resarrince.and.apasstitass Tite-siesss . y..ol--4 floir from large 'fountains' to the extent oChalf-a pint a man. The stands which have been erected t 3 view the feast are, very numerous,. arid, have been got up with wonderful rapidity. The ball given by M &Mercy on Monday night, although lacking-nothing in the number anddignity And rank of the, company, was, it is 'said.' interie, in splendour to - the entertainments of a siniilai kind given by the English Ambassador and the Countess .Granville. The,roonss of the Graziani Palace are better furnished, more rich, and at the same time more comfoetable than those- of the French EinbasSy, and, what is a good deal more to the purpose on snch - occasions, the wine and the suppers are better. Indeed Lord Granville has done his best to make 'the Rus:ians familiar with the contents of an excellent English cellar, and he possesses another advantage in having Lady Granville to preside ,at .his .entertainment. The supply of dancing tidies is described as being Very inadequate' to tlie deehand last night,' but the French Ambassador is the gsyest and best host pos- Sible, and did his utmost to atone fer the absence sa,_ Madame do Mor-ny ;by ',lancing :incessantly. It must be by no means inferred from this that the French Ambassador's ball was not very splendid. It is only fair to-state that the Embasey of England has the advantagejn Moscow, just as in St. Peters burg M. de Morny was able to give better and more frequent dinners . than Lord Granville. - As there is a very decided attempt made just now by certain agents of the Russian press to dis credit. our Embassy in common with anything English, and to cover anything French with un measured eulogium,—oftentimes very well, but, as is natural in all human affairs, not universally de served, it is as well' to let the truth be known on this as on all other matters: The most frequent taunt in the mouths of those writers is that the Russiatis would very scam have disposed of the English troops on all occasions had it riot been for -the aid of the French and, although it seems un just and ungenerous in time of peace to rip up the old wounds of war, it is not Englishmen who have done so. It surely was not French aid that enabled us to drive a numerous Russian force out of its entrenchments at the Alma, to storm its reclOubts, and to take the only -two pieces of cannon which fell into the hands of the 'allies that day. It surely was not French aid that enabled our heavy cavalry_ on the 25th of, October to ride titraugh the Russian horse three, times their, s number, and 'to rout' them utterly ; it surely was not French aid that enabled us to 'hold till the spring of 1845,, with onr feeble ,aud . exhausted army, a line of trenches from left to right as extensive, as those occupied by did more numerous and better provided army of our allies ; to beat every sortie from the city; to meet with wretched, shivering, ill clad, half-starved men the parties of picked volun teers from the city, " let out hot and drunk" (to use the expression of one of our own officers) against us, and to send them back twice as fast, if not quite as many, as they came. It was not the French who enabled 7,500 British soldiers to beat back and to repulse for three' hours and three quarters the attack of a Russian army of 40,000 men at Inkerman. All this is 6. matter of history. What we owe to our allies we know, and need not be told by any one. They know, too, what they owe to us ; their troops transported, their flanks protected, their food conveyed by our shipping, and many other offices of friendship which the generous nature of Frenchmen reciprocated and will never forget. However, let us now pass on to other matters, and leave this polemic for the present. The dinner given by the Marchands de Ville, the bourgeoisie, &c., to the army, took place ,on, Tuesday, .and was remarkable for the enthusiasm of the guests and the absence of the hosts. The Salle d'Exerciso, which is intended for the elrill aud exercise of troops during the severity of winter, is an enormous hall, built in 1817, by General Meyer Carbonnier. One of the boulevards outside the Kremlin was covered with canvas, and formed into a series. of long rooms, in which 2,500 soldiers-10 from each battalion—sat down to an excellent dinner, provided by the same hosts. All them length of the hall, small trees or plants, such as laurel, myrtle, and pines, were ranged iu bright green tubes ; bouquets and single flowers in glasses were profusely use.' in the decoration of the tables. The shafts of the stoves were covered with trophies of arms. At the extremity of the hall there was a raised dais beneath which the Em peror and the Generals feasted. Over this dais, which was hung with red and cloth of gold, there was a gigantic letter A and a numeral 2, with a crown above worked in gold also. On the right and left of the Emperor were two largo orchestras, occupied by tho bands of the Chevalier Guard and of the civilian amateurs and professional players of Moscow. There were 32 tables at the upper end of the hall and 40 at the lower end, the space between the two being occupied at the sides by the, orchestra. They were glittering with silver plate, all finely polished, and there was a great display cf salvers, epergnes, and centre pieces laden with flowers, a rare and much valued orna mentation in Russia, so that they go to great ex pense and trouble in this unfavourable clime to get them. The galleries were filled with ladies and with civilians, but in the hall itself not a man appeared, except the waiters and civil musicians, who was not in full uniform. The whole of the long ranges of tables glittered like a flower show.l with gold and silver lace, greens and Prussian and powder blues, white, scarlet, and buff, all mingled together in endless variety, reflected from the masses of plate, and mingling with the hues of the planta or the rich horticultural display before and behind them. At 3.45 the Emperor, dressed as a General of Division, and followed by a large staff, made his appearance at the centre door. The company at once stood up at attention, and the Czar, preceding his suite by a dozen yards or so, walked slowly up the immense avenue of soldiers to the seat prepared for him. He bowed to the right and to the left as he passed in return to the mute greetings of his faithful servants. Not a sousd.wa.s uttered, for it is contrary to etiquette to cheer unless on certain occasions, when it is. coutrafy to etiquette not to "cheer. His aides-de camp-general, generals; and the officers attached to the Imperial house followed, and took their places at the upper tables, where most of the groat soldiers of the Empire who could be spared or could come to the bang net were already assembled. The bands played the National Anthem and dinner was served on silver plate. After din ner the usual toasts were drunk with immense en- thusiastn and cheering ; they of the Character—to the Emperor, to the Empress, to,the members of the Imperial faMily, to ontselves, and then his Majesty retired, and. the ciunpany broke up. At none of these dinners were any of the merchants who provided them present. The dinner to the 2,500 soldiers in the Kremlin garden went off with equal order. Zti the evening there - was a ball at Prince Gl-alitzio's, the grand master of the ceremonies. The prince is one of Itic old Muscovites, and the entertainment exhibited some Curious conservative notions, in the shape of old dresses and old dishes at supper. He obstinately refused to succumb to the taste for moderninnova tions iu. the. fern - 6,f chandeliers and lamps,- and On finding iu the drawing-room '3, very tine French, lustre, which had been purchased and furtively " in troduced by his nephew, he ordered it to be taken _ in his study, where look very well ; •saying, at the sa lights for his rooms had been thou ; by two Empresses and two Emper to Moscow, and that therefore they his present guests. This is the on dit. At first inv tions were sent out for petite tenue, but in the course of the dayitwas notified that the guests were te come in full dress, which to military men signified that the Emperor was coming, Full dre,s tmans to Russian officers a plume in their •helmets and epauhyttea instead.of shoulder straps in cases where epaulettes are still worn, and the display of their medals, ribands, crosses, and various decorations. The Czar, although he likes keeping up the dignity and state.of the Imperial office, is uotostentatious or extravagant in his tastes, and rather affects the simplicity and freedom of the late Emperor. He has been seen driving about the streets in a one-horse drosky without an escort or single attendant of any kind, and the other day the Russian hall-porter at Lord. Granville's was terribly alarmed at the apparition of a quiet gentlemanly-looking officer in the hall, who stepped out of a drosky at the door, and simply asked, "Is the Ambassador at home ?" It was the Emperor, who - had driven up to pay a friendly visit en passant. His Mij , isty and the rest of the Imperial family, the Princes and Foreign Ambassadors and Attaches wore present at Prince Galitzin's, and the ball was very splendid, many of the officers being in excellent humour and high spirits after their dinner. - There was a ball on Wednesday night at Lord Granville's, which was honoured by the presence of the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess Constan tine and Grand Duchess Marie. The Grand Duke Constantine is rather below the middle height, being about 5 feet 6 inches, in height ; his figure is slight., but compact and well built, his face is oval, his hair light, moustache and whiskers small and fair, his eye, notwithstanding the shortness of his sight, is keen and very intelligent, and his mouth, jaw and forehead indicate great firmness and decision of character. He speaks English perfectly well, and to the knowledge of that language he joins of course the usual acquirements. of Russians of rank, French, German, & . c. His air is not so °mine as that of the Emperor ; he speaks with tigiclitmss and energy, and is rapid-in his move 'l6tkt'ol4 alk'FfeAler +al -a gayer and brisker look • '''';l4-4447---1114%.4444--:.'La5izia00.:—....m....Li...• oriced at Cronstadt While ottr fleet waabefore t, and he is now with the utmost determination and perseverance creating for Russia a very formidable - forea of steam gunboats, of which th ere are no l ess than 75 in the Baltic, all bdilt within the last 20 anniths ; some of them are worked by the locomo r ye engines of the railway, fitted for that purpose; ethers aro provided with engines made at the Go vernment factories, but these have given the Grand Dale some trouble, as they are liable to aberrations ,ttel to execute mechanical maewuvres not designed !)y their manufacturers. Sir Charles Napier, in sire account of his extraordinary experiences of Crunstadt, forgot one important fact—he talked much of the difficulties, and insinuated the im possibilities of an attack on the place, and men tioned especially the impediments created by the genius of Todtleben in the passage at the north of the fortS, but Sir Charles did not tell his countrymen what the Grand Duke is at no pains to conceal—sthat the passage was quite practicable when the allied fleet first came off Cronstadt, snd that the impediments to the passage of large ships werce not formed till the winter of the st,cond year of the war. The Russians were per fectly aware that the northern side could be forced, and that it was quite possible for a determined enemy to run past the forts, most of which are con striicted on acres of spheres, have their maximum amount of fire directed in front, and have only part of their guns available for an enemy passing their right flank. They had ever such a casualty in view, and the most desperate resolves were spoken of in case the fleets forced the Neva and St. .Petersburg was at their mercy. The opportunity was lost, and the Grand Duke and Todtleben took care it never ' should occur again. The moment the allies retired before the grip of winter thousands of men were set to work, who sunk stones all along the northern channel, or heaped piles of hundreds of tons of blocks of granite on the ice, which went through to the bottom as it melted and formed a line of ar tificial rocks across the pass'agb. 'On some of these rocks batteries were erected, guns were placed to cover the approach, and the place was indeed ren dered unassailable bylarge vessels. Why did not Sir C. Napiar tell us when this was done ? Surely no thing of the kind took place till after his abortive de • men Aratien in the su rumor of 1854. Bat now to re • turn to the ball. M. do Morny and most of the foreiga Ministers were present, and it would have passed off charmingly but fora sudden outbreak of bad pipes, which excited more wonder and curiosity than admirstion. The Marquis of Stafford's piper, who playa with great t tste and dign ty, was intro duced into the passage, and produced a prodigious sensati(yn, but there were few indeed of tiie Russian ladn e who were bold or enthusiastic enough to say they liked it. THURSDAY. The day is threatening, the sky grey and cold. lu Russia there still exist the practices of the old chase, and all the mysteries of falconry are studied and understood by the grand signors, who keep up the traditions of their ancestors. The chasse today I cannot attend, for the very suffi cient reason that a horse is not to be had, and that walking is out of the question ; but I believe it will only he the turning out of a bagged wolf, who will be pnr. , ned, by dogs. The last time there was a hunt of this kind the wolf, who was possibly of a philosophic turn of mind, thought it better to be eaten without making a fuss about it and running himself to death, quietly walked a few yards to a little hillock, and there sat down and surveyed the hounds with all the calmness imaginable. To-day foxes and wolves will be attacked by dog, bird, and man, and it is to be hoped they will not follow the exemplar of the departed last year, but that they will afford great sport by running for and not saving their lives.

This company is established for two reasons—first, because it is wanted ; and second, because it will pay. India wants cheap means of conveyance for her produce; water conveyance is cheaper than any possible mode of conveyance by land ; and ten thousand miles of this cheap water conveyance will be afforded by the great rivers when properly navigated by steam. The last dividend of the Gauges Steam Company was 48 per cent. per annum, and the latest returns of a Navigation Com pany on the Godavery was 55 per cent. The field, however, is far too large to be adequately filled by local effort, and an English Company is necessary, which, with adequate capital, will render available the resources of European science.

Yesterday morning the trial of Guiseppe Meli for the murder of Captain Graves commenced. A large number of witnesses have been examined on both sides. The prisoner had not only acknowledged the act, but bad boasted of it ; and on hearing from the magistrate that the unfortunate captain had died on Thursday, he remarked that it was a judgment from God, for it was on that day Captain Graves had ordered his boat to be pulled up. There is no one from the judge downwards who is not morally certain that Meli is guilty. He is anything but Prepossessing in appearance, and is dressed up for the occasion in dark green coat with a velvet collar, which makes him both look and feel awkward, from his having been habituated to the loose costume of a Maltese boatman ; he appears about 35 years old, and looks as unconcerned as any one in the court. The court, for Malta, is tolerably full, but has never been crowded, and the room in which the trial is going on would all through have at any time he'd many more than was present. The sentence will probably be given this evening. THE SUPPRESSED CONVENTS IN SARDINIA,—The Sar• dinian Government has addressed a circular to all the superiors of the convents suppressed by the law of May 29, 1855, summoning them to deliver up to the authl:ri ties all the title•deeds, contracts, and registers still in their pos: eision, it having been discovered that the clause of the above law relating to such documents has been in many cases eluded. THE T 1 & ROY AL, BIUMINGHAM. During the week, Madame Celeste and Mr. B. Web ster have been starring at our theatre, playing to crowded houses, in the drama of "Janet Pride." Their audiences, each earaveg, have acknowledged the thrilling effects of the piece, and eloquently borne tribute to the consuna ma' e ability of the two great artistes, not only by the customary manifestations of applauding cheers, but by the irrepres:ible tear of compassion for the trials and sufferings of t'se heroine of the piece. The unforced ex• pressien f intcn , e misery, the natural delineation of affectionate solicitude, the toulhing portrayal of pa. thetie yiteations, the exhilarating firmness of mind under fa'sn and terrible accusations, and of gratifying absence of all mere stage claptrap, which distinguish Madame Cele:ste.'s acting in "Janet Pride," aro qualifications which render Ler performance valued every where and by all classes ; and none more than the people of Birming ham can appreciate her sterling talent and histrionic accomplishinenr. Mr. r, . Webster . .represents the abandoced drunkard to perfection. To sustain such a character the metropolitan lessee shows that something more than mere staggering and confused v,calisat ion is requisite. As in the madness cf " Hamlet," so is tht ra method in the intoxication of Mr. Webster's Richard Pride. The anxious audience fully believe in the verity of the drunken fit, so truthfully is it 'feigned. Every movement, gesture and word confirm the deludan,, anti bespeak the eear cpncption and mas terly execut:on of the finished actor. Pride's mo ments t f bitter reflection meet a'so with a genial expo sitor in Mr. Webster ; and the gleams cf better feeling which glance acrosa his canecience, prove that in the drink besotted convict there still remains that soul of goodness, which we have Stiakspsre's warranty for declaring exists in al things evil. - Dicky Trotter was played in a really clever style by Mr. Atkins ; Miss Vivash performed Altr part of Minnie creditaliy ; Mr. Cardiner's Bernard was respectable ; and the scenery and properties were eicellent additions to the proper representation of this popular and startling drama. Our realers will be glad to learn that the two celel.rated performers will continue their stay at our theatre a week longer, and appear in a variety of chit racte• s they have made famous,— Birmingham Mercury.
