pelled to postpone until tomorrow's publication.

THE WEST-END OF LONDON, bays the Court
Journal, is now so full that it is difficult to obtain a house
in any first-rate locality.

GARIBALDI'S PROVINCIAL ENGAGEDIENTs,
Sixty was the exact number of invitations that Garibaldi
had accepted.

THE DEVOTEES OF I3RAG.—It is possible that
many respectable persons may be unaware of the
attributes and nature of the game of Brag; more popular
though it be, as a method of making money to change
hands, than any other invention under the sun, and count-
ing its devotees by thousands in the Old World end in the
New. A gentleman, on board a United States river steam-
boat, once " bragged" at thie game no less than two millions
of dollars, and upon his antagonists doubting whether he
possessed the money, produced a little carpet-bag
crammed with notes to a much greater amount than
the se.re named. It turned out that he was a Govern-
ment commissioner in charge of the money to pay the
troops in Texas, and had thus taken advantage of his op-
portunity to back his cards for an amount that put all com-
petition out of the question. In America, this entrancing
pursuit, under the alias of "Poker," sauses more specula-
tion than all Wall-street. In India, officers in her Ma-
jesty's service on sick-leave in the hills, play it unceasingly,
with their hats cocked over their eyes to conceal the work-
ing of their intelligent countenances,—and even—as we are
assured—with masks on; for a gentleman who possesses
expressive features should not play " brag"—for reasons--
and there is even a theory that the vacant looks of the
officers of the househol I troops are caused by their wish to
become prefleients at this extraordinary and important
pastirae.,-, Chamber Journal, New and Improved Series.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, April 29.—Shipping yarns have
been in good demand. Since Tuesday our market
has advanced day by day, and large sales have
been made at higher prices. Today we have had a
very active market, and moat yarns are jd. to ld.
per lb. higher than on Tuesday, many spinners
refining to sell even at this advance. The demand
has been general for all markets, and we close with
a strong and buoyant feeling, and with many
spinners deeply under contract; In home trade
yarns, also, there has been more business doing,
notwithstanding the tendency which higher prices
have to put some check upon operations. Manu-
facturers as well as shippers are more disposed to
buy, and for home trade yarns prices are about id.
per lb . dearer than on Tuesday, for all counts. There
is an improvement to some extent in cloth, but it
has not kept pace either as to activity or price with
the cotton and yarn markets. From Tuesday to
last night the market for cloth was generally rather
quiet. Sellers could easily have made sales, it is
true, at last week's rates, but the large purchases of
cotton made at Liverpool had been an inducement
to manufacturers to seek an improvement in price,
and this was an effectual check on business. To-day
we have had more activity. Advices from Bombay
(April 14) reporting shirtings lid. to 21-d higher,
and from Calcutta (April 12 and 13) reporting an
inereaed demand, with 40's mule twist lid. per lb.
and shirtings 4id. to 74d. per piece higher, and
with letters speaking very favourably of the pros-
speeta of trade, have had an immediate and cheering
effect on this market. We have had an inquiry for
India cloths almost approaching to excitement.
The advance which manufacturers are disposed to
put on goods has, to some extent, checked opera-
tions, but still a fair (some say a large) amount of
business has been done in goods suitable to India
and China at a slight advance on Tuesday's prices.
The%re has been also more disposition to buy for
other markets, but it is checked by the rise in prices.

A letter dated Corfu, April 11, says :
"The keep at Vido was blown up on Thursday
last. Everything was ready the day previously,
but the explosion was not allowed to take place on
account of its being a festa on that day. The mili-
tary band was ordered not to play, and the usual
permission to the soldiers to remain out of barracks
in the evening was withdrawn. The authorities
were anxious on this, as on previous occasions, and
especially during the progreEs of the demolition,
not to do any act that might be considered as
offensive by the natives.

"A' hundred rumours were in circulation at the
end of the week, that the general had received in-
structions to suspend the embarkation of troops for
the present. Whether or not this be true, which I
have good reason to suppose it is, it has, however,
been determined not to remove the Ist battalion of
the 9th, who are stationed in the Southern Islands.
It is feared that outbreaks will occur if the English
troops are withdrawn before others are ready to take
their place; indeed, it is known that some of the
peasants at Cerigo, combining with those of Mainci,
have a plot against certain landholders and others
in the island. Greece has no troops to send for the
purpose of protection, and mutiny is spreading
among those she possesses.
"The Porte is well prepared for any con tins
gency that may arise out of the unsettled state of
things existing here and in Greece. She has a
large force on the frontier, as well as in Albania,
ready at any moment so ba used it occasion
should require. Many lonians who reside in Greece
and Turkey are desirous of becoming naturalised
British subjects, and thus retain the protection
they have hitherto enjoyed. The British Consuls
have received instructions that lonians aro not
entitled to British protection from the Ist of January
lust.

" On Monday last an Austrian two•decker called
in here. Upon a boat putting off for the shore its
occupant was received with a guard of honour and
a ,Royal salute. Everybody thought that it was
the Emperor Maximilian en route for Mexico,
travelling incognito. It turned out that he was
only an Austrian Admiral. The vessel left on the
following morning, the destination being stated to
be Hamburg.

"An officer of the Engineers, named Giffavd, who
had come here to assist in the destruction of the
fortresses, was accidentally killed last Tuesday by a
fall from his horse.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr, Commissioner Gou'burn.)
IN RE LYN.

This was an application for release from custody.
Mr. Phelps Opposed. He said that the bankrupt au
Gloucester-street, Pimlico, applied on a
former
asion when he was examined, and it was shown
auctioneer,th atthe cein
bankrupt was indebted to a person named Stewart,
and to whom lee had given some bills. He then went to
detaining creditors, and on Stewart vouching for his
honesty
went to the West Indies, and there was no
doubt, Stewart and the bankrupt had divided the proceeds.
Stewart
Ile:(Mr. Phelps) said that the bankrupt had been bank-
rupt and insolvent before, and under the circumstances
the bankrupt ought not to be relieved at present.

His Honour said that it was a case in which bail ought
to be given, and be should therefore require the bankrupt
to enter into his own monism:ices in £2OO, and find two
sureties in £lOO each.

This was also an application for release.

Execution of Devine—This Day.

IRELAND.

This morning the young man, John Devine, who was found
guilty at the last sessions of the Central Criminal Court for
the murder of Joseph Duck, a retired tradesman in Great
Chesterfield-street, Marylebone, was executed at the Old
Bailey. The prisoner made a full confession of his crime,
and acknowledged the justness of his sentence.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

DUBLIN, April 30.

Sir Thomas Judkin Fitzgerald, the descendant
of a man unhappily notorious in 1798, committed
suicide on Tuesday night last by throwing himself
into the river Suir, near his own residence, Golden
Hills. It appears that he was severely pressed by
pecuniary difficulties. He had been in Dublin the
greater part of the previous week, it is supposed
with the object of effecting an arrangement with
some of his creditors. There he was met by several
of his friends, who found him in his usual health
and spirits. He returned home, and was in Clonmel
on Monday. It appears that there was an execution
then in his house for a debt of £3OO, and the bailiff,
were in possession. He made a last effort to raise
this amount on Monday morning, but his solicitor
failed to accomplish it, owing to the heavy liabilities
under which he laboured. He went home by the
train on Tuesday afternoon, having left a letter
with his solicitor stating that he should shortly be
no more, and indicating where his body would to
found. This gentleman immediately communicated
with the office of the constabulary, and a telegram
was at once sent with imperative orders for the in-
stant arrest of Sir Thomas Fitzgerald. But the
precaution was, unfortunately, too late. He wrote
similar letters to other friends, and among them
was the following to Mr John Massy, justice of
the peace :

"Dublin, April 26, 1864.

"My dear Massy,—l have a last request to make of you,
and that is that you will on receipt of this go over to
Golden Hills and see poor Lady Fitzgerald, my dearly be-
loved wife, for before you get this I will be no more. God
have mercy upon me and my poor family. . . I
ask this as a dying request, that you will go at once on re-
ceipt of this and see what is best to be done. . . . Igo
down to-night on purpose to see my poor wife and family
for the last time, and then my body will be found in the
weir at that part called the Pig-hole, near Golden Hills.
. . . . I again ask you, as a favour, not to desert my
family till things are set to rights for them. It is the dying
request of your friend,

"THOMAS J. FITZGERALD."
There was also a letter to Mr. Edmond Dalton, of
which the followingeis a copy:—
" Dublin, April 26, 1864.

"Dear Ned,-1 am going to ask a favour of you, and
that is that you will get Mrs. Dalton to break the sad news
of my death to poor Lady Fitzgerald. Igo down this
evening, and my poor body will be found in the Suir at
Pig-hole, where all the salmon arc taken, near where the
white thorn stump is that was lately cut. The Lord have
mercy on me and my poor family I
"Yours truly, "THOMAS J. FITZGERALD."

From the evidence given by his coachman and
butler at the inquest held yesterday by Dr. Mor-
rissy, coroner of the district, we learn what occurred
in pursuance of these letters. Sir Thomas arrived
from Dublin at the Goold-cross station at 11 30 p.m.
on Tuesday night. He drove the car himself very
carefully. He was unusually silent, and seemed
rather angry, as if he was disappointed about some-
thing ; but otherwise in his ordinary state of mind.
He reached Golden-hills about half-past 12 o'clock,
The family had retired to rest, except the butler,
who waited up for his master. He first went up-
stairs, it was supposed to Lady Fitzgerald's room. In
about 10 minutes he returned and took some tea.
Some thine after he went to the parlour door and
said, " Michael, come and take away the things."
While the butler was doing as he was directed, his
master went into his study. He again went up-
stairs, but shortly after the same servant heard him
unbar the hall door and go out. He had taken no
wine or spirits, and used never to take any. The
servant, taking no notice of his going out, as he
sometimes had occasion to do so, went to bed. After
about an hour Lady Fitzgerald tapped at his door
and said, " Michael, get up. Sir Thomas is gone
out somewhere and he has not returned. You had
better go out towards the shrubbery and see what
is the matter. I fear he has got a weakness." The
butler then went to the shrubbery, and not finding
his master, Lady Fitzgerald became alarmed, and a
second search, with a lantern, was made about
the grounds in vain. At daylight the coachman
was called, and when the search was about to be
renewed Lady Fitzgerald came to Bourke, the
butler, and said, " Michael, come here. I must
have been stupid that I did not find this letter
before now." She had a letter in her hand, which
she said she had found on a stand at the side of the
bed where her husband used to lie. She read a
part of it. He inferred from it that all was over
with Sir Thomas. He and Rourke, the coachman,
then hurried out and searched all the grounds. At
length they found his hat and coat on the bank of
the river near the spot which the deceased had
himself indicated. They hastened with this infor-
mation to Lady Fitzgerald, the police were sent for,
and about 200 yards further down the body was
found in the shallow water. Life was extinct. The
Hon. Martin French, R.M., of Cashel, arrived early
in the day, with Dr. Kennedy, of Tipperary, who
examined the body, and found it without any marks
of external violence, As Sir Thomas was a re-
markably good swimmer it is supposed he must
havft taken some drug to prevent the failure of his
attempi e.t self-destruction. The inquiry had not
concluded when the last account left.

The inquiry Tito the loss of the City of New
York, which commeoced on Friday, and was ad-
journed without any evidence being taken, was re-
sumed yesterday. John AVCartney, chief officer
of the wrecked vessel, deposed that he had served
during the last five years on board the City of New
York, that she left New York on the 19th of
March, with a general cargo—mostly provisions.
She carried 161 passengers. Everything was in
good order when starting, and she had a crew of
106, including the captain. They had a fast and
prosperous voyage till they reached the Irish coast ;
when they passed the Old Head they slackened
speed to 10 knots. The wind was about N.N.W.,
squally. It was clear moonlight, with heavy clouds
occasionally passing. There were two hands upon
the forecastle head, and one man between them to
pass the word along, and one at the telegraph to
pass the word into the engine-room if required,
witness at the same time being on the upper bridge,
keeping a sharp look-out with his telescope for the
buoy on Daunt's Rock, or anything else. It was
the practice to go through the Channel day and
night, except when there was a dense fog ; then they
took the course east of the Rock, making it by the
lights on the Old Head, Ballycotton, and Roche's
Point, when they could see them. They were within
a quarter to half a mile of Robert's :Head—a bluff
headland, with deeplwater up to the rocks, which a
ship could almost shave. At 230 the captain was
on the bridge, and had been on deck the whole of
the witness's watch, except about ton minutes,
when he went to change his wet clothes. Witness
was still looking 'out for the buoy, when the ship
struck hard on Daunt's Rock at 2 45 a.m. The buoy
was afterwards seen at 130 yards' distance. They
did not always see the buoy in passing. They made
signals, but no assistance came till 4 o'clock, when
the company's tender came along side. They got
no assistance from the Coastguard station. About
8 o'clock the Magpie and Advice and the Cunard
tender came alongside. The ship had eight boats
on deck, which were at once put into requisition.
They were all in good order, and quite sufficient to
carry off the passengers. Captain Kennedy exerted
himself to the utmost, giving orders quite coolly,
and using every possible precaution:
John Holden Cleaver, the third officer, Jamres
Allen, a seaman, and David Fitzgerald, q
a er
master, gave evidence to the same effect.d
Alexand
e
Taylor, chief engineer, described what e had
to diminish the ship's speed. When
he heard her
ua r toe n
strike he thought it was a collision with another
vessel. Water came in immediately and pet out
the fires. Mr. William Taylor, chief officer of the
Coastguard, deposed that be saw the signals, but
regarded them as only the usual signals of the
vessels approaching the harbottr, It
was quite an
ordinary thing to sail inside the Rock day and
night. A shadow from the clouds and headland
might prevent persons on board seeing the buoy.
Mr. O'Dowd, who conducted the Inquiry for the
Board of Trade, said that this was all the evidence
he had to produce.
The Londonderry Journal of this morning states
that one of Lord Leitrim's bailiffs has been shot,
and that Peter Griffin has been arrested for firing
the shot, which took effect in the bailiff's thigh. It
is not known whether the wound is dangerous. Au-
