EXTRAORDINARY BUICIDE OP A JEW.

Mr. W. J. Payne, deputy-coroner, held an in-
quiry at the Coal Exchange Tavern, St, Mary-at-Hill,
City, buteveningrespectingthe suicide of M. Jacob Loed,
aged 50 years, a ' Jew.
Mrs. C. Smith, 72 Nelson-street, Commercial-road, sad
that deceased lodged at her house since June last. He
was a native of Cologne, and he imported bristles, butter,
apples, shirts, and watches from the Continent. On
Monday week he received a telegram which caused him
to become much excited. He said that he had lost a sum
of money, and that it would cost him his life, for it was
the second loss he had met with. On Friday morning he
was found lying on his bed quite insatiable, and an empty
chloroform bottle was close to his hand. Dr. Taynton
was sent for? and with great difficulty restored animation.
He had evidently attempted to commit suicide. He
made no statement when he recovered. On Saturday
afternoon he left the house, and she did not see him alive
after.

M. Philip Raphael said that a few days ago the deceased
told him that his dearest friend, M. —, had " taken him
in." He had asked him to lend 70f. for an hour, till he paid
the purchase money (2001.) for a business, which he well to
sell again on the instant, at a profit. Deemed lent the
money, and waited not only for the hour stipulated,
but for four hours for M. —, but it was all m vain.
When he returned home be received a telegram, " Dear
friend, we met with a znisfortime. You need not be in
fear. Your money is safe." That communication was
dated from GraveentL Deceased said that the victimisation
drove him mad. M.—wrote him letters, stating that the
money would be paid back with interest, hut the deceased
was nevertheless very desponding about the matter. When
witness found on Friday last that deceased had taken
chloroform be sent for a doctor and he went to the
synagogue and caused the deceased to be visited. On
Saturday afternoon witness invited deceased to tea. He
refused, saying " There is plenty of tea in the Thames !"
Witness said Why, what do you mean by that!" but he
made no answer and walked away, 11 itness and two
others followed him, and meeting a policeman mentioned
what he bad just said. The policeman replied " There is
no evidence that he is going to do anything wrong, you
can't do anything." While they were speaking to the
policeman the deceased gut out of sight. It was then 5
o'clock in the evening.
Edward Cooper, a boatswain, proved that on Sunday
morning he found the body in the Theme, near Fresh-
wharf.

The deceased was • widower. He left one child, 5 years
of age, in Cologne.
The jury returned • verdict of "Suicide while in •
state of temporary insanity."

FRANCE.
PARIS, AUGUST 29, EVIII2IO.

The government has received a telegram from
M. Deno, the French Minister in Mexico, dated
Key West (Florida), August 22, announcing that
he would arrive in New York at the latter end of
this week.

The Moniteur of this evening says :—" The in-
terview at Salzburg, far from constituting for
the powers an object of pre-occupation or
disquietude, should be considered as a new
guarantee for the peace of Europe. Two sove-
reigns whose policy has been animated only by
ideas of moderation have been happy to ex-
change these proofs of esteem and sympathy which
respond to their personal dispositions as well as
to the feelings of their subjects."
The Eteadard says : We have reason to
believe that the government is preparing a circular
to be addressed to the French diplomatic agents
abroad, with a view to fix their ideas and regulate
their language relative to the Salzburg meeting."
The France states that the relations between
France and Italy have never ceased to bear the
impress of the most cordial understanding. Ac-
cording to the same journal, the removal of Baron
de Malaret from his poet as French minister in
Florence has never been contemplated.
The Temps, referring to the state of affairs in
Spain, sap :—" The agitation in the peninsula
is increasing, and the entire insurgent force
now amounts to eighteen thousand men.
It is stated that the manufacturing town of Bejar
has also joined the movement." The Temps also
mentions a rumour that Senor Mon, Spanish
ambassador at the French court, will be replaced
by Senor Sartorius.

FORGERY UPON THE BANK OF ENGLAND.

MANBION-HOUBK--(THIS DAY).
At the Mansion-house, this morning, a gentle.
manly-looking young man named William Henry Hodg.
son, described as a surgeon, and rending at No. 15, Cum-
berland-terrace, Bayswater, was brought before Sir
Carden, the presiding alderman, charged with feloniously
forging a transfer for 2251. Consols stock, with intent to
defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank of England.
Mr. FreshAeld, the solicitor to the Bank of England,
attended on behalf of the prosecution ; Mr. Wontner ap.
paned for the defence.

This was one of that serious class of offences which,
latterly, through the caution exercised by the authorities
of the Bank of England in instituting inquiries before
they allow any transfer of stock to be made, has
been of very rare occurrence, and in the present
instance the fraud would not have been consummated but
for the want of care exhibited by the parties to whom the
prisoner applied to sell the stock. It appeared that the
prisoner applied to stockbrokers lathe City to transfer the
stock in question, and they were thrown off their guard by the
representation of the prisoner, and they identified him
at the Bank of England as the owner of the stock; the
transfer was then made, and the prisoner received the
amount. The forgery was detected, and the prisoner
was apprehended by Russell, the officer, upon his
going to the stockbrokers whom he had previously
employed in the transaction. When the prisoner was first
questioned by the officer he declared that he was the
owner of the stock. This statement was at once contra.
dieted, and the prisoner was given into custody.
[The ow was proceeding when we went to press.]

Upon the fourth day the Turks entered °maim. The
insurgents set the houses on fire and closed the
wells, and the Turks were then obliged to
leave the town. The insurgents, being re-
inforced, pursued, and compelled the Turks to
descend into the level country. Several were
killed on both sides. Fighting still continued in
Sphakia. Fevers and dysentery prevailed among
the Turkish troops. Greok accounts maintain that
the Mussulmans continue to massacre women and

A contract has been signed between the Por-
tuguese government and Mr. Rose, 0.E., for the
laying of a telegraphic cable between Falmouth and
Lisbon. I believe the first communication will be
made with Peniche, where a station will be esta-
blished for reporting the passage of ships and
steamers, which will be valuable to the mercantile
community. Moreover, an independent telegra-
phic communication with England is very needful,
not only for Portuguese advices, but for Brazilian
news brought to Lisbon by mail steamers. We are
seeing every day the danger of having to depend
upon the Spanish telegraph lines, which are in-
variably disturbed whenever a revolution occurs, an
event of frequent occurrence lately. I am told
this cable will proceed to Gibraltar, and communi-
cate with the projected Indian line.
There has been a partial failure of the crops of
wheat, oil, and wine throughout Portugal, and the
price of bread has already risen, and will rise still
more before the end of the year. Many cargoes of
corn are on the way to Lisbon, and the govern-
ment has done its best to mitigate the evil by open-
ing the ports ; still the produce which is imported
must be paid for in money at an adverse rate of
exchange, for Portugal has now unfortunately no
produce in any quantity to export to balance the
million of pounds sterling which she must expend
in cereals. On this account a bad year is looked
for, although the timely measures of the govern-
ment will avert actual starvation from the poorer
classes.

THE SPANISH INSURRECTION.

A rumour was current in Paris that Saragossa
had fallen into the power of the insurgents. The
Lil.erti even gives the following details :—" When
the thibris of the column crtuthed by Pierrad re-
entered the city they found it in riot. Surrounded
by assemblages of people, saluted with cries of
' Viva la libertad r the troops remained indecisive.
The chiefs ordered them to tire on the crowd, and
that order was the signal of their defection. The
soldiers disbanded, joined the people, and the
insurrection was proclaimed at Saragossa."
The Avenir National of yesterday, in a postscript
to its summary, says it has received the following
telegraphic despatch :—" London, August 27.—
The cabinet has received information representing
that the Spanish insurrection is spreadinge widely,
and directly threatening the dynasty.'
The Madrid correspondent of the Paris Liberte,
writing on the 24th, says :—`• We are plunged in
the deepest darkness with regard to everything
that is occurring away from Madrid. It is to be
hoped that the garrison, which has already been
much solicited, will side in favour of the more-
-1 went ; it would save a civil war, which might be a
prolonged one."
The Moniteur of yesterday says in its summary :
—" The news from Spain transmitted by. telegraph
mentions a certain number of submissions of in-
surgents belonging to the bands which had been
formed in Aragon and Catalonia. Thanks to the
fidelity of the army and the devotion of the civil au-
thorities, a very speedy and complete suppression of
the insurrectionary movement seems to be expected
at Madrid."
The Indipendance Beige says :—" The news from
Spain is still uncertain. We shall only know the
truth when one side or the other has succumbed.
What is more than certain is that the insurrection
is not yet put down, whatever the Spanish govern-
ment may say in its despatches, and in the articles
of the Patrie, which acts as its organ in Paris. The
other journals of the same leaning are much more
reserved, and even those like the France, which
believed at first in the failure of the rising, begin
to recognise that, after all , the official accounts do not
perhapastate the exact truth. The papers favourable
to the insurrection declare that Saragossa has fallen
into its power, and that a provisional government
has been installed there. If the fact were correct
Madrid would be open, and the day might be con-
sidered as gained ; but at present we have received
no confirmation of the news."

CASE OF Mit. FILLNCE-PRIVILEGE.

L. ,a REM:SI/ALE, having intimated that Mr..l. S.
France attended at the bar, wished, before that gentleman
was examined, to state that he had that niornite received
nletter front Mr. Francue, dated the Loth, nul which letter
was included in theprinted correspondence which had been
circutl.toul among their limb:Lips. Mr. France's object
uppear,tl to have been that his own letter should appear
in the printed correap.undeuce whilst his (Lord Redondale's)
reply should he excluded. What he propoacdto do, as Mr.
France now adhered to the truth of every word printed in
his pamphlet. was when ho (Mr. France) had been exa-
mined, and haul produced the correspondence, to move for
a select committee to inquire into the charges made against
the Chairman of Cl' unitnittees, of having introduced a new
and unnecessary clause into the Mold and Denbigh Rail-
way Act.
Mr. France was then called in, and in answer to the
Lord Chancellor's questions, stated that he was a railway
contractor; that he was author of a pamphlet entitled
Lord Redesdale and the New Railway ;" and that certain
letters, of which he handed in printed copies, contained
the correspondence which had pawed between him and
that noble lord. He had not yet received Lord Redewlide's
reply to his last letter. lu answer to further questions
fruit. Lords Cyanworth and Redezdale, Mr. France added
that the letter dated the Ifith was so dated because ho be-
gan it on that day, but it being a very long one he had not
been able to finish it until the previous evening. Mr.
France then withdrew, and on the motion of Lord Roles-
dale a select committee was nominated to inquire into the
matter.

CATTLE PLAGUE IN CHESHIRE.

In answer to Mr. TOLLEMACHZ,
Sir S. NORTHCOTE said he was anxious that the hon.
member, and those other gentlemen who attended at the
Council-office yesterday, gtould understand that there was
no want of attention or courtesyort his part. The compensa-
tion given for animals slaughtered in different parts of the
country in consequence of the cattle plague had at different
times been under the consideration of the government, and
be was generally aware of the arrangement come to some
months ago on the subject. He was not, however, aware
of the exact circumstances in relation to it at
that moment, he being called upon unexpectedly to receive
the deputation in consequence of the illness of the Lord
President. He met the hon. member and the deputation,
consisting of several members of parliament and gentle-
men of high standing from Cheshire, who stated very fully
the claim of that county for compensation for carcases of
animals that had been buried, under the orders in council,
and for the loss of any possible profit that might have been
derived from these carcases. The case was stated ex-
tremely well, and undoubtedly it was shown that the in-
habitants of Cheshire had suffered a very severe calamity.
Under these circumstances they not unnaturally came
to the government to know if anything could
be done to compensate them. lie was generally aware
that it was not the opinion of government that it was pos-
sible to give that compensation, but not being exactly
aware of the position of affairs he then stated he could not
then give any definite answer, but would state the facts to
his colleagues. On coming to the house he met several of
them, and he found what he supposed to be the case, that
the government had not altered its mind, and that it was
impossible to give compensation to those gentlemen. lie
had no doubt that the Lord President would reply further
to the memorial which the deputation presented.

DEATH FROM THE FALL OF A BALCONY.

An inquiry was held by Mr. Humphreys,
Coroner, at the Royal Charlie Tavern, Poplar, last evening,
relative to the fall of • balcony at the house of Mr.
Julius Natorff, surgeon, by which Maria Turin, aged 13
years, was killed.
Frederica Istnew, a little girl, mid that on last Thurs-
day afternoon, while opposite Mr. Natorfrs house, No. 3,
High-street, Poplar, she saw deceased, who had been
cleaning the windows on the Scat floor, lean against the
balcony railing. She seemed to overbalance herself and
fall over. She seized hold of the balcowhen falling
and the balcony gave way and fell wither on to the
pavement.
Mr. Julius Natorff said that the deceased was sent by
his wife to clean the windows, and she stood on the
balcony for that purpose. The balcony had been put up
by witness 14 years ago, and he thought that it was quite
safe. It had not been examined, but it had been painted
• fortnight before the accident happened. The deceased
died from her injuries in • few hours.
After some other evidence had been heard,
The jury returned a verdict that deceased was killed by
the falling of • balcony, improperly and insecurely
fastened.

mentary session has at length come to an end,

THE EYRE DEFENCE FUND IN INDIA. —We
notice that some of the public men in the Punjab (amongst
whom we exceedingly regret to observe Major G. Hutchin-
son, whose work on " Prison Reform " was recently re-
viewed in our columns) have allowed themselves to be
brought forward in the character of public apologists for
the doings of Governor Eyre and his subortlinates. So
much do these Punjabees seem to have surrendered their
own judgment in the matter, that they adopt the very
words used by the fiery secretary of the London com-
mittee, that is doing its utmost to prevent the vindication
of those great principles of law and public justice which,
until the degenerate Tahnerstonian days, Englishmen of
all parties have been proud to uphold. It is impossible to
believe that men of high character, as are many on the
Punjab committee, could have permitted themselves to
speak as even indirectly extenuating the barbarities earn.

TRADE IN ANI3LtI.S.

Mr. 3CLAGAN asked the Vice-President of the Privy
Council whether it was the intention of the government to
introduce any measure to carry into elect the recom-
mendations of the select committee on trade in animals

lir. CORRY said that a bill was in preparation to carry
into effect the recommendations of the select committee,
and he hoped to be able to introduce it shortly.

THE ORNAMENTAL WATERS IN THE PARK&
Mr. H. R. MHEIIIPAN asked the First Commissioner
of Works whether it was intended to lessen the depth in
the ornamental waters of the public parks.
Lord J. MANNERS said that it was intended to lessen
the depth of the Lke in the Eegent's-park about four feet.
With respect to the sheets of ornamental water in our
other parks he was not at this moment in a position to
say what steps would be taken.

MORTMLIN.

lie. HADFIELD asked the Attorney-General whether
his attention bad been directed to the institutions in
England having prrperty affected by the law of snort-
main, and held by trustees for religious, charitable,
literary, scientific, educational, and other useful purposes,
and whether he would bring in a bill to cheapen and
facilitate the mode of transferring Cruet property so
held, and so to mo•lif the operation of the law of mort-
main as to diminish the expense of founding such insti-
tutions by voluntary contributions.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the first part
of the question related to facilitating and cheapening the
appointment of new trustees to charitable institutions,
and the transfer of the trust estate to new trustees. He
quite admitted the importance of the subject, although lie
could not undert..ke to bring in a bill with respect to it.
He would, however, give the matter early consideration,
with a view, if possible, to introduce some useful legisla-
tion in that direction. As to allowing a trustee to act in
a corporate capacity. he could not think legislation
advisable, and therefore he was not prepared to introduce
a bill with respect to it. The same answer applied to the
third question.

THE ADMIRALTY AND ITS CRITICS.

The absolute want of confidence of the nation
in the men who control the navy expenditure expressed
last night by Mr. Seely, who has now made out his
case, is shared, the Times sty., by the House of Com-
mons and by the Admiralty itself. Sir J. Pakington's
announcements, however, inspire the hope that real changes
will be shortly undertaken. As late as 1861 the present
First Lord recommended that there should be one person
above the Hoard of Admiralty and free from its influence,
who should he responsible directly to the crown and par-
liament for everything that is done, and if the Board of
Admiralty remain—and we doubt not it may have its
official and administrative uses—it should at least be made
entirely subordinate in every respect to the national Mi-
nister of Marine, who when once appointed should really
govern where he now only reigns. The want now is some
one who shall unite power with responsibility, and not a
niece addition to the number of inferior functionaries who
, can only move in their own groove, who are sum soon to
fall into the usual official apathy, and are secure in their
obscurity from public censure fur anything- but flagrant
misconduct.

paying a tribute to Mr. Seely for his modest and labo-
rious devotion to public interests, and instancing him as
a reformer less eager for personal display than for hard
dry work, the Doily Newts observes that the hon. gentle-
man was received by Sir J. Pakington with a cordial frank-
ness and sincerity which deserve recognition. What Mr.
Seely and other Admiralty reformers ask is :—Cannot
some approach to unity of administration and simplifica-
tion of responsibility be attained under the existing form
of naval government' It appears from Sir John Pak-
ington's reply, that by the new arrangement of the
Comptroller's department, a much stricter supervision
of the work in the dockyards and of the accounts
will be secured, and Mr. Seely has the satisfaction of
finding that his persistency is already bearing fruit.
There is at least one characteristic of the Admiralty which
covers a few sins, and that is tho readiness with which
even its official defenders, its past and present lords and
secretaries, avow its deficiencies and take rank among its
reformers. Who has ever seen such a prodigy of public
virtue as an army reformer trained at Whitehall' And
yet, as compared with our army administration, who
doubts that the Admiralty is almost immaculate'
The Ster regards the popularisation of the legislature as
the certain prelude to a great invigoration of all the ele-
ments of improvements in political and official affairs.
With a reformed parliament there would be an effectual
demand, to um an economical phrase, for alterations which
are now admitted to be salutary while they are too readily
assumed to be impracticable, except on the occurrence of
some disastrous crisis.

THE VOLUNTEER&

Mr. W. E. FORSTER gave notice that, on going into
committee of supply on Friday, March 1, he would call the
attention of the bowie to the uncertainty as to the position
of the Volunteers, consequent on their late employment
as an armed force at Chester, and ask the government
what steps, if any, they intend to take to remove this un-
certainty.

REFORM mu FOR IRELAND.

Mr. BRADY wilted the Chief Secretary for Ireland if
goverrinunt would introduce a Reform Bill for Ireland
.. • •

This session.

Lord NAAS replied that he thought the wisest course
they could take would be to w.iit ar.d see what parliament
did with reference to the kenretentation of the People Dill
for England before they proceeded to discuss a bill for
Ireland. (Hear, hear.)

THE CANADIAN CONFEDERATION.

According to the Daily News the pressure put upon the
maritime provisoes of British America by the home go-
vernment to induce them to accept the scheme which was
brought forward by Lord Carnarvon last night has been
unusual and severe, and the politicians of Novo Scotia and
New Brunswick have yielded to it. If the scheme work
well, the defects of its origin will be forgotten ; but if ill,
the present action of the imperial government will be held
to detract very much from the force of the " Treaty."
Already the colonists have acquired the conviction that
they are conferring an obligation on the mother country
by giving up local legislative power. The bill in
reality sacrifices intension to extension, destroying
a close union which has been tried for the sake
of a looser connexion which is avowedly an experiment.
As to the supposed augmentation of the means of mill
tory defence, if anything is to be gained in this way it
must be either by Canada sending forces to New Bruns-
wick and Nova Scotia, or by these latter provinces send-
ing forces to Canada in case of war. Does anybody who
knows the distances between them and the extent to
which each province would be exposed to incursion believe
that either colony would part with its national defenders
under the supposed circumstances ? If not, the whole
question falls to the ground.

EXPORTATION OF COOLIES.

Mr. B. COCHRANE gave notice that on Friday, the
7.oth Meant, he would call attention to the exportation of
coolies from the East Indies.

WATERFORD ELECTION.

The O'DONO(.HUE gave notice that on Friday next he
should ask the Secretary of State for War to take into
consideration the alleged conduct of sixteen men of the
12th Lancers, who, on the polling day of the election for
Waterford, broke away from the control of the officer in
command, and charged along the quay at Dungurvan, the
result of which was that two persons were killed, one
while standing at his own dour ; and, taking these facts
into consideration, whether tho right hon. gentleman
coincided in the opinion expressed by Colonel Sawyer that
the conduct of the troops was admirable, and that the
casualties, however much they were to be regretted, were
unavoidable ; also, whether he did not think it necessary
to have a searching investigation into so gross a breach of
military discipline, which resulted in such a catastrophe.

Captain Parry had placed at School Point, at Spitzbergen,
