BRITISH and FOREIGN INSTITUTE

The soirée of this Society yesterday evening was honct ired
with the presence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cak a-
bridge, attended by Baron Knesebeck. Among the other dl •-,-
tinguished personages present, were the Earl of Fortesetis,
Viscount Sandon, Lord Dudley Stuart, Lord James Start,
Count Zermoyski, Sir John Yarde Buller, M.P., Chief Jus-
tice Pollock, of Bombay, Mr. B. B. Cabbell, &c. The evening
was enlivened by some excellent music, both vocal and inv,
strurpental, by an address from the resident director, and et
recitation of Italian poetry by Signor Jannetti, a gentleman'
who has recently arrived in England from Rome, with the
intention of delivering public lectures on the poetry and
music of his native country. A model of Mr. Brett's electric
printing telegraph was also produced, and attracted consider-
able interest, as well by the marvellous mode of its working,
as by the vast extent to which it is likely hereafter to be.
applied. This new and important application of elec-
tricity appears to be a considerable improvement
on the system upon which the • existing electric tele-
graphs are constructed, inasmuch as it requires but
a single line of wile, and also prints the intelli-
gence which it conveys, without rendering the pre-
sence of an attendant necessary to decipher the marks made
by it. The manager sits at a board furnished with keys
similar to those on a pianoforte. and marked with ti'me lettere
of the alphabet. Each key on being touched suffers a certs 4
number of sparks to pass through the wire, and these, acting;
on a simple but ingenious mechanical contrivance at the
other extremity of the line, cause the printing wheel to stana
a similar letter on a card. The plan appears perfectly prac-
ticable, and from being peculiarly practicable for oceanic
telegraphs, is likely to be soon tried on an extensive scale.
We have not space to notice the concert at any length, and
can only mention that among the vocal performers were
Madame Thillon, Miss Dolby, Mrs. Newton, Mrs. Weiss, and
Miss Messent, pupil of Signor Crcvelli; and amongst the
instrumentalists were Madame Mild:en, Miss Collins, the
celebrated Irish violinist, Mr. Wallace, Mr. Lavigne. M.
Vieuxtemps, Blagrove, Frederick Chatterton the harpist,
Parish Alvars, Grattan Cooke, Kiallmark, Jarrat, Reinagle,
Jewson, Wells, and others. _ _

The proceedings were kept up with great spirit tilt past
midnight, and terminated one of the most crowded and
brilliant soirees of the season.

THE DOUBLE SUICIDE AT
NOTTINGHAM

NOTIINCHIAM, THURSDAY A FTERNOON.—Yesterday after-
noon Mr. Coroner Browne held an inquest on the bodies ofk
the two wretched men, William and Samuel Collyer, which
were lying at the police-station, St. John's-street. 'the find-
ing of the bodies and the other particulars were proved by
the witnesses who were examined; and the following evi—
dence was also taken :

Mary Ward, Buck-lane, who knew the deceased inti-
mately, said, that their mother died a year last February,
since which time they have had no female in the house. A
fortnight since to-day Samuel was speaking of his affairs,
and said they were in embarrassed circumstances. He knew
that I was aware of their circumstances. Some yea% ago
there was something happened to their sister; a fortnight
ago I was inquiring about her; she is now in the AsylirSa.
I have observed that they have been very much depressed in
spirits at times; more particularly William. I cannot say
that I ever saw anything like insanity about them. William
was easily excited. The father appeared of very quiet habits.
I saw him on Friday last at the door. I have observed tint-
Samuel has looked very stolid lately. Once William ap-
peared in a very depressed state of mind, and hinted to me
that he had meditated self-destruction ; that was a year lag
May. He said if he had done that there would have bees
no heaven. I endeavoured to dissuade him from doing any-
thing of the sort. I have had no conversation with hint
since then on any subject. For some time after that he ap-
peared very much depressed.
By a juror—l am not aware that any of the family, except
the sister, ever showed signs of insanity. The father
seemed to be in good spirits and smiled. On Monday mess-
ing he (the father) was seen at home. The family told ma
that they were in difficulties; fresh bonds were required; and
that they tried to get them, but could not. Samuel men-
tioned this to me about rive months ago. I have no idea
where the father is. I have heard the brothers speak of
each other very highly.
John Chapman, of Parliament-street, joiner, deposed as
follows :—I have known the deceased seven years. Between
eleven and twelve on Tuesday, as I was going to Lenton to
fetch some goods, I saw them in the lane near Lenton,
coming towards the park. I spoke to them and passed on.
William called me back, and said, " Have you heard any-
thing of us ?" 1 asked what they meant. He said, " Have
you heard anything about our circumstances? We owe a
deal of money." They both appeared very melancholy ; one
was pulling the hedge. When I returned from Lenton I ob-
served some women about their house, who said they believed
the old gentleman was dead in bed, for the sons had not
been home that night. When I met the deceased they looked
very strange.
Other witnesses deposed to their appearing very welata-
choly, and the jury, after a long deliberation, returned c
verdict of " Suicide under temporary derangement."
Late last night, the old man, who was supposed to have
been murdered, was found lying almost exhausted under a
stack in Beeston meadows, about three miles from the tows,.
A milkman, named Holmes, had given him something to eat
on Tuesday evening, which was the only food he had had
since Saturday night. He was taken to Holmes cottage,
where he had some tea, which revived him, and he was then
conveyed to Nottingham, at which place he arrived about
midnight. On the road lie talked a good deal, and said,
" Where are my poor lads; can you tell me anything about
them ? Are they (lead? Are they buried ? Lord, have
mercy upon me; 1 have been a very wicked man," and
similar things. He talked very wildly also about his clubs,
his circumstances, and his (laughter. He said he had bees
to the canal two or three times to throw himself in, but
could never summon courage enough. It seems no one had
told him what his sons hadone. A policeman sat up with
him all night, and this morning ho was removed to the work.
house, where he remains in a most wretched condition.

deuce is manifested by holders; and hopes are entertained that the
long inactivity which has prevailed will be succeeded by a steady ex-
change at increasing values. The improvement in the Derby and

PROSPECTS OF THE GROUSE SEAsoli.—The sports-
men will be interested in hearing that the prospects of the
ensuing grouse season are of the most flattering kind. On
Drummachdair-hill, on the confines of Athol, and the
highest and latest muir ut the Highlands, the young grouse
were last week strong enough to find their way to the burns,
.under the guidance of the parent birds, and covies were
started, with from eight to twelve in each, every thirty or
forty yards. On more sheltered grounds the birds are more
forward, and are likely to be strong on the wing by the-12th
of August. As the weather during the period of incubation
was extremely favourable the conics arc everywhere nume-
rous, and the showers which have fallen within the last ten
days on the hills have fallen as seasonsbly for the grouse as
the corn crops. On the whole, present prospects are the
most favourable of any season. at the scone period, for some
years, although the last four or five have been uniformly
good.—Perthshire Courier.
