A coin of the Roman Emperor VITELLIUS
GERMANICUS, coined 1751 years since, was found on
Thursday last on Pilhead estate, near Bideford. It is in
fine preservation.

We regret to learn that the embarrassments of
the Horticultural Society have induced them to enter into
competition with the market gardeners in the sale of their
produce---a measure quite foreign, we imagine, to the
original object of their establishment.
THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—The annual
meeting of this Society was held on Monday, in the house
of the Horticultural Society, in Regent-street. Among
the distinguished persons present were, the Duke of So-
➢fEIISF.T, the Earls of ESSEX and CARNARYON, Lord
AUCKLAND, Lord STANLEY, Sir G. STAUNTON, Bart.,
&c. In the absence of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the
Duke of SOMERSET took the Chair. From the report of
the auditors appointed to examine into the state of the
Society's affairs, it appeared that the receipts for the past
year were 16,347/. 125., arising from the subscriptions of
members, admission fees of visitors to the Museum, &c.
The amount in the banker's hands in February was 2001.
The supposed value of the Society's assets was 6,000/.,
inclusive of the farm at Kingston, which had cost about
11,000/, The report eulogized the conduct of Mr. SA-
BINE, the Treasurer, to whom it was stated that the So-
ciety was indebted, in a great measure, for its prosperity.
The report of the Council stated that an arrangement has
been made with the Commissioners of Woods and Forests
for the ground which the Society required, viz. 1,200
feet frontage at a rent of 400/. per annum. The report
further announced Mr. SABINE'S intention to resign.
The expenses of the farm at Kingston were to be greatly
reduced, and it was intended to breed and rear rare and
new species of birds, quadrupeds, and fishes at that esta-
blishment. It was also stated that 200,000 pei•sous had
visited the Gardens in the Regent's Park last year, and
that upwards of 3,000/, had been invested in the funds.
The ballot for officers then took place, and the meeting
adjourned.

SUICIDE.—Last evening an inquisition was
taken before Mr. PAYNE, the Coroner for the city,
and a highly respectable Jury, at Dolly's chop-house,
Newgate-street, on view of the body of Mrs. SUSANNAH
BEAN, ;•:ho destroyed herself by throwing herself from
the top of her house in St. Paul's Church-yard. After
hearing evidence, the Jury returned a verdict—" That the
deceasel occasioned her own death by precipitating herself
from a window, while in a state of temporary delirium, pro-
duced by bodily illness."

Yesterday evening an inquest was held at the
Red Cow public-house, Mile-end •roatl, before L. W.
Urtwity, Esq., on view of the remains of GEORGE
Vauctfa 14, Esq., aged 86. From the evidence it ap-
peared that the deceased, a gentleman possessed of consi-
derable genius as a mechanist, had been for se,reral years
engaged in the invention and completion of an engine on a
new principle. Having finished it on Saturday last, Ee set
it up to try its practical effects, and not finding this
