MANSLAUGHTER.--Thursday night an inquest, ad-
journed from Tuesday last, was resumed before Mr. W.
Payne, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of
Peter Doyle, a tailor, aged twenty-nine, of No. 11, Bell-
alley, Throgmorton-street, whose death was caused by
a man named Fitzgibbon, under the following circum-
stances :—lt appeared that on Saturday night last the
deceased, who was related to Fitzgibbon, called upon the
latter at his residence in Dunning's-alley,
Bishopsgate,
and during the night drank a considerable quantity of
liquor. Between one and two o'clock on Sunday morn-
ing a quarrel took place, arising out of jealousy on the
part of Fitzgibbon, and a fight ensued. According to
the dying statement of the deceased, Fitzgibbon threw
him from the top of the stairs to the bottom, and on
getting into the yard, jumped with his knees on hi,'
belly. This was said in the presence of Fitzgibbon, who
instead of denying it, said he hoped ho had killed him,
at the same time making use of the most disgusting
language. The deceased, after suffering great pain, was
removed to the hospital, where he died shortly after his
admission. Mr. Haigh, house surgeon, said he had
made a post rnortem examination, and found the cause
of death to arise from rupture) of the bladder, produced
no doubt from the deceased having been knelt
P
not from the fall. The jury, after a

sion of obtaining subsidies for the working classes, ba lal a

_le HAGUE, MAY 25.—The first essay was matte on
the railway, between the Hague and Rotterdam, yea ter-
day,. alaie iron
gri „ was perfectly successful. The lar-b afiae
from Schiedam to Delfshaven was traversed for the feat
time, when the solidity and firmness of this new struc-
ture was most satisfactorily proved. The railway, wo
are assured, ‘74.11 be opened to the public in the Airs -
of the next week or ten days. It will a " 6
e of tracel culable
advantage to both ahese places. .
VIENNA, MAY. 15a—We receive from all parts of the
monarchy the most fa pourable accounts of the condi-
tion of the winter crop, and th a completion of the sow-
ing of the summer corn, en which account the prices
must necessarily fall. In consequeace of the imperial pro-
hibition, no corn may be now exported to foreign cowl_
tries. The speculators who, in the prospect of greater gain
have hitherto contrived to keep back large quantities)
from the public, will soon be obliged gradually to bring:
them to light, in proportion as the harvest approaches.
In the two Galician provine es; for it is already known
that, that kingdom is dividE al into two Governments,
perfect tranquility prevails, s nd the nobility are full of
enthusiasm at the prospect that their Majesties the
Emperor and Empress will coale in person to Cracow to
receive the homage of the kingdom, and that the Arch-
duke Albrecht will them be installed as Viceroy, prepa-
rations are already making to gis e a brilliant reception
to the imperial guests.
BREMEN, MAY 18.—We _understaad that an oraiir-
nance of the magistrates will speedily appear respecting
the forwarding of passengers in ships, especially emi-
grants, which not only comprehends a better view of
the ordinances issued on this subject, but in sevaral
points modifies the preceding legal regulations conform-
ably to the experience that bas been acquired.
Laraste.—The Minister of the Interior has or-
dered proceedings to be instituted against the authors---,7'r-s"
the well-known protestaagaiast the -aOhipetence ii" the*
extraordinary Diet, affirming that the well-known ordi-
nances of the German Diet, respecting the illegal as-
semblies, are applicable to the assembly in which that
protest was adopted and issued.
BERLIN. " The Allgemeine Preussehe Zeieung,"
says the Elberfield Gazette, " now pays greater atten •
tion to internal affairs, both Prussian and German. We
have lately several times met telegraphic dispatches fro 11l
Cologne and Coblentz, but we are able to affirm, fro=
an authentic quarter, that such a communication of tele--
graphic dispatches will not be interrupted, and care
will, besides, be taken that the' exchange of Paris and
London will be forwarded by the same way. That this
information may not come to the knowledge of any one
before change time, so that an abuse will not be possible,
the most satisfactory measures will be taken that they
may be always kept under lock and key till the publica-
tion of the journal."
MANREIM, MAY 19.—We may perceive how active thea
commerce on the Rhine has become since the opening of'
the navigation by the extraordinary number of ships
which arrive here ; for instance, the arrivals from
Cologne and the Dutch Ports are numerous beyond
example ; whereas in the year 1846, from the Ist of
March, on which day the first Dutch ship arrived here,
till the 18th of May, only 44 ships, with cargoes amount-
ing to 116,878 cwt., bad arrived here from Holland ; the
number from Holland direct from the 27th Feb., 1847,
is already 105 ships, with cargoes to the amount
of 467,458 cwt. This latter amount contains alone
in pulse and flour 272,648 cwt. the greater
part of which were forwarded to France and Switzer-
and. If this amount is deducted from the sum total
there still remains 194,800 cwt. of articles belonging to
the ordinary trade on the Rhine, that is an excess of
77,922 cwt. over the year 1846, a result which appears
he more favourable, since it shows that the otherwise
unpropitious circumstances of the times, have not
hitherto checked the trade in those articles.
CARLSAUHE, MAY 19.—We learn that no competi-
tion will be invited between architects to offer plans for
a new theatre, but that Mr. Hubsch, the architect of
this city, received, soon after the fire, a command from
the Grand Duke, to draw up a plan, and presented
fine a few days ago. According to this plan the new
,heatre will be divided into three distinct portions, each
fire proof, and every interval will have a broad stone
issue of its own. Adjoining the theatre, secured by
are-proof vaults, the requisite necessary buildings are to
be placed. The site of this new theatre is not yet deter-
mined.—Haniburgh Papers, May 25.

FOREIGN CORN TRADE.
BRUSSELS, MAY 28.—The price of wheat for the
week ending May 28 was, wheat 42f. 43e., and that of
rye 30f. 84c., being a diminution, since last week, of
wheat 62c., and rye 70c.
ODESSA, MAY 14.—Our market has not been so ani-
mated as could be desired since last week, owing in a
great measure to the want of vessels to bring up the
corn, as well as the enormous prices which dealers are
obliged to pay for those vessels which can be procured.
and for which there i 5 an incessant demand.

The price of wheat of inferior sort was 20r. to 25ir.
'or Odessa, and Polish of the third order 24r. to
26ir. for Polish of the second order; good, well condi•
tioned, though rather moist, 26ir. to 23ir. for Polish of
the first quality._

HAMM:IICH, MAY 25.—Importation and exportation
of corn and pulse, from 10th to 20th of May, is as fol-
lows :—lmportaticn. 1,2741. 91. ; exportation, 7491. 43f:
KEIL, MAY 24.—From the 15th to 22d May, we have
imported by sea, from inla)ad ports, 16,421 tons corn ;
For foreign ports, 3,500 ; total, 19,921.
BRESLAU, MAY 22.—Within the last week we have
had only a moderate supply of corn in the markets, but
account for it because of the preparation for the great
wool market, which is now approaching. There was an
active demand for wheat and rye, and the prices again
fell ; good wheat was sold for 127 to 140 ; yellow, 124
to 138 ; rye, 128 to 133 ; barley, 76 to 88. Oats, like-
wise, were lower, and the best sort sold from 46 to 47i ;
second sort, from 43 to 45.

STOCKHOLM, MAY 18.—The prohibition to export
grain did not extend to wheat and potatoes, and till this
law is in force, there is no doubt that above 15,000 tons
will be exported.—Hamburgh Papers, May 26.

DEATHS IN WESTMINSTER BRIDEWELL.—Thurs-
day Mr. Bedford held two inquests in the Westminster
Bridewell on the bodies of prisoners who had died
therein. The first was respecting the death of Ann
Nye, aged 43. The deceased was the wife of a gentle-
man's servant, living at the West-end, and had a family
of four children, but she had lately led such a dissipated
life that her husband was forced to live away from her.
She was convicted at the Bow-street Police-court on the
14th of the present month, and sentenced to one month's
imprisonment, with hard labour, tor being an idle and
disorderly person. Her constitution was so broken up
by the life she had been leading that she died in the in-
firmary on Tuesday last. A post niortern examination
proved that the lungs were extensively diseased. Ver-
dict, " Natural death." The second inquiry was con-
cerning the death of Andrew Sandell, aged 64. The
deceased was convicted at the Clerkenwell Sessions of
larceny, and sentenced to four months' imprisonment
with hard labour. On Wednesday morning last deceased
was seized with a fit, which lasted some considerable
time. Mr. Levies, the prison surgeon, attended and did
all that the nature of his case required, but without
success, and he died the same day from serus apoplexy.
Verdict in accordance with the medical testimony.
THE ASCOT CUPS.—The Emperor's Vase, the gift
of the Russian Autocrat, has this year been manufac-
tured by Messrs. Hunt and Roskiil, under the diretion
of Mr. Bayly, the Academician, from a design said to
be suggested by Lord Granville, the Master of the Buck:
hounds. It is a magnificent vase, of the style of Louis
XIV., of polished silver, the handles and projecting fes-
toons being roughened and richly gilt. Twe whole effect
is gorgeous and kingly. There are on the sides two
alti relievi, very elaborately modelled and rendered in
the silver. One represents a passage in the battle of
Pultowa, and the other Peter the Great rescuing ship-
wrecked soldiers from the waves of the Neva. This
superb cup is about three feet and a half in height, in-
cluding the base, which is also of silver, and on which
are represented in bas relief the palace of Gatchino and
that of Peterhoff. The inscription is similar to that of
last year, and a blank space is left to be inscribed
with the name of the fortunate winner. The
Royal Hunt Cup, manufactured at the same establish-
ment, is a group of four figures in silver—a Highlander
with two deer hounds, and a stag, the fortune of the
chase, which he is preparing to cut up. It is very well
modelled, partaking of the Landseer school, and finely
finished in the detail. The Gold Cup, presented by tl)!
Queen, has been manufactured by Messrs. Gerrr 1 and
Elizabeth, very exquisitely modelled,
and inut beauty. It is the
Co., Haymarket. It is a vase
great attention to no the age arreaoted with Queen
figures of Queen Eliza-
it. The lid is surmounted with

SUICIDE FROM :MENTAL
A a t NXIETY —L s
evening
Mr. ffi at 'ggs held an inquest 11
e .
t Three Horse Shoes,
Water-lane, Strand, on William aed 47 late
clerk to Mr. Herbert,rbert, eminent outfitter, corner
erbert, the Robinson,
g ' of
Arundel-street, Strand. It appeared that deceased,
having suffered extreme mental anxiety in consequence
of the death of a favourite son who perished in the late
fire in Guildford-street, Russell-square, and of:reverse
of circumstances, had resolved upon self-destruction.
On Thursday morning he was found dying, and upon
a post-mortem examination by Mr. Dunn it was ascer-
tained that he had poisoned himself with laudanum.
The phial that contained the poison was found in his
writing desk. Verdict—" Deceased died from the
effects of laudanum, hut whether be was insane or not
when he took the deadly potion there was no evidence to

prove."
TOLL ON BATTERSEA NEW 13nInGE.---I believe it
is intended to impose a toll on the bridge about to be
built from Battersea Park to Chelsea. Surely this
might be dispensed with ; and as it is to be built with
the public money the public ought not to be obliged to
pay for it again, particularly as it is to be formed for the
express purpose of affording access to a public park, and
the use of which will be virtually denied to many of the
poorer inhabitants of that vicinity if a toll is to levied
on the bridge.— The Builder.

ing at nine o'clock,- with 58 passengers and two carriages,
and sailed again for Boulogne yesterday.
TRADE OF DUNDEE.—We have Thad very little
doing for some time past, the accounts of the money
market being so nrfavourable, and the difficulty of pro-
curing discounts of mercantile paper in England having
mainly contributed to check purchases, unless in cases of
absolute necessity. Prices of tow, codilla, and jute are
maintained, but yarns and linens are rather heavy.—Dundee
