Petersburg.

MYSTEirOI7S DEATIL—On Tuesday afternoon an ad-
journed inquest was held by Mr. Bedford, coroner for
Westminster, at the Compasses Tavern, Mount-street,
Grosvenor-square, on the body of James Poyner, of
Davies-street, Berkeley-square, whose death occurred on
Wednesday last, under somewhat peculiar. eireumstancee.
It was shown in evidence lbat the deceased, who was a
w eking shoemaker, had borrowed various sums of
money of a person whom be had known for many years
as a fellow member of a mutual benefit society, and that
he had represented to him that his means of repaying
him would arise from a sum of 2501, which his father
had lately bequeathed to him. On the day in question
the deceased had appointed to meet his friend for the
purpose of presenting to him an order for 1501. upon the
bank of Messrs. Brown and Janson, which he said he
bad just received from a solicitor at Gloucester, under
his father's will. At the moment of their meeting the
deceased left hie friend in the street, and went into his
house under pretext of changing his clothes, with a de-
sire to make himself look as smart as possible previous
to his going to the banker's for his money. He then
hastened into his bed-room, and throwing himself upon
the bed, exclaimed, "I am a dead man. I have settled
all my affairs." In a few minutes he expired, and as
nothing had occurred to account for his sudden death,
it was at first suspected that some foul play had been
resorted to in order to get possession of the money which
the deceased said had been left him by his father.—Mr.
Charles L. Bloxam, professor of practical chemistry at
King's College, said he had anaiysed the contents of the
stomach, and bad discovered as ranch prussic acid as he
bad seen in many other instances where death had tm.
questionably arisen from the effect of that poison.—h.
spector Lester, of the C division, saidba baescbeardtaiumeaddethinat-
in-
quiries into the deceased's statement respecting the
" order upon the banker's," and
there was no foundation for i.; but there was no
doubt the deceased was very much distressed in conse•
quence of his not being able to meet his pecuniary obli-
gations. There was, however, no bottle found, nor any
other outward trace that the deceased had taken poison.
Verdict—" Died from the effects of the essential oil of
bitter almonds, but how administered there was no
evidence to snow.",
London, England, 1856-04-03

THEATRICAL GOSSIP.

S&veraCorthe London papers deny on authority
that Miss Charlotte Cushman has taken the lease
of the Haymarket Theatre. All the gasconade 0-
a City paper in connection with this subject- has
been thrown away. Among other felicitous things
it was stated that Miss Cushman intended visiting
New Ydrk for the purpose of making engagements
—the artists here being far superior to those in
London.' On the strength of this item all .the
little varieties of the profession have been airing
themselves, and commisserating the London .ma-
nagers in a truly ludicrous manner. No one f -
miliar with the EngliSh.stage need, be told that the
statement, is 'siMply ,ridiculous. There aro some
eicellent actors here, but they can be counted up
on the. tips •of the fingers, and are driven into
obscurity by :the mention of Such- names., as
Conyton, . Benjamin Webster, Howe, BuCkstone,
Keeley, —Leigh Murray, Harley, _Chippendale,
Farren, W. _Lacey, Robson, Wigan, C. Mathews,
and Wright; or, amongst the ladies, Miss Rey-
nolds, Mrs. Keeley, Mrs. Stirling, or the neN Lon-
don actress, Miss Blanche Fame, and a score. of
others we could mention. SOme very bad samples
of English actors. have arrived in this country, it
is true, but the reason is obvious—really good
artists are better paid there than here. Now, if
Miss CuShman really did want to.make arrange:-
merits in thiS city, she could only.fiad three,gentle-
men?who would make an• impression on a London
audience. We refer to John Brougham, harry
Pladtde, and William Burton, actots-so adniirable
and so infinitely ahhve airy other artists, comic or
sentimental, in this 'city, that rwe are , almost
ashameCto drag -.them into a- •discussion of this
character.—From, a Few York -Paper •of Tuesday,

SEEDS.

Prices of linseed continue to range from 478 to 528 for
Calcutta, and 53s to 54s per quarter for Bombay. Linseed
cakes are in better demand, and, in some instances, a small
advance has been obtained for barrel New York. This is
rather owing to temporary scarcity. A Very large business
has been transacted in Calcutta rape, at prices ranging
from 30s to 48s.

THE AMERICAN RUPTURE.

The Weekly Telegraph, a paper of great circula-
tion, has an eloquent appeal to-day to the Catho-
lics of America on the subject of the rupture of
friendly relations between the Washington Govern-
ment and our own. They are advised to withold
all support from the Yankees in the event of war.
They are told, and truly, that they are treated as
aliens and their religion with contempt by the fill-
busteros in the senate, as well as those who style
themselves "Know-nothings" and their sympathi-
sers. In fact, the Catholics are informed publicly
—what those in America have found out to their
cost—that they have nothing like the liberty in
the States they could enjoy in Ireland, or any
other portion of her Majesty's dominions. It is
pleasant to hear these truths told by the Weekly
Telegraph, a journal devoted to. the Church of
Rome-11 cosiaopolite;,who 'barb fol.-no'
land, no home—whose whole object and aim is the
service of the Church.
London, England, 1856-06-09

CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES.

It was expected that a match would have been made
ere this for the championship of the Thames between
Henry Kelly, of Fulham, and James Messenger, of
Teddington. The occasion on which it was presumed
they would meet after Kelly's challenge to Messenger to
row him for 1001. within three months, was the appoint-
ment to give up the stakes in the late great race between
Kelly and John Mackinney; but nothing whatever was
done, and the matter still remains in abeyance.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.—June 7.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.—CoMMO.
dore the Earl of Wilton arrived at the Squadron House
this afternoon, as did the Marquis of Drogheda and Lord
Otho Fitzgerald, H. B. Baring, Esq., James Maxse,
Esq., Sir John Bayley, Bart., Caledon Alexander, Esq.,
E. N. Harvey, Esq., Lieut.• Colonel Stirling, W. B.
Ponsonby, Esq., Lord Colville, and Geo. Bentinck, Esq.
The Hornet, schooner, of 140 tons, John Naylor, Esq.,
sailed for Weymouth on the 2d ; the Osprey, cutter, 59
tons, Captain J. Berney Petro, for Guernsey, on the 3d.
The following yachts are at and about the station :
Beatrix, schooner, 208 tons, John E. W. Rolls, Esq. ;
Extravaganza, cutter, 48 tons, Sir P. F. Shelley, Bart.;
Gannet, yawl, 42 tons, Lord Macdonald ; Ginevra,
schooner, 142 tons, Sir E. Colebrook, Bart. ; Maid of
the Mist, cutter, 31, Ricardo Mortimer, Esq. ; Nymph,
cutter, 51, Sir J. Bayley, Bart. ; Titania, schooner, 181
tons, R. Stephenson, Esq. The Aurora cutter, Caprice
yawl, Viking schooner, and Urania schooner, are fitting
in Cowes harbour, and we suppose that the Commodore's
yacht Zara will soon make a move.
Earl de Grey's ♦illa at West Cowes was offered for
sale, by public auction, at the Mart, London, on Friday
last, and knocked down at 2,9501. This beautiful ma-
rine residence is said to have cost his lordship 7,0001.,
but having given up yachting it has no longer the same
attractions for him.

CAUTION TO DEALERS IN MARINE STORES,—At the
Guildhall, Newport, Perry, of Corvel-lane, Cowes,
was this day fined 10Z., and 15s. costs, or four months'
imprisonment, for purchasing brass and copper fittings of
boats and houses trona childre❑ under 12 years of age.
They consisted of window fastenings, handles of doors,
bells, stem-bands, rings and hooks, finger and door
plates, all of which had been stolen.

THE IRISH CONSOL MINING COMPANY.

At a meeting to wind up this concern, held before the
Illaster yesterday, it was intimated, on the part of the
official manager, that he expected to strike a dividend
of 43. in the pound this day, and a similar amount in a
short time.

COURT OF ERROR -YESTERDAY.
Midland Great Western Railway Company v. Lord
Panmure.

This was an appeal from the decision of the Court of
Queen's Bench in favour of the defendant, the represen-
tative of the Ordnance Department. The Court had
granted a mandamus to oblige the plaintiffs in error,
the Railway Company, to complete a road leading from
the barracks to the railway. To this writ the plaintiffs
made a return, which the court of Queen's Bench con-
sidered unsatisfactory, and gave judgment for the do•
fendant in error.

The Lnrd Chief Justice delivered the judgment of the
Court, which affirmed the decision of the Court below.
The railway company had accepted the act of Parlia-
ment on the terms of constructing the road ; and it wfts
clear that the meaning of the act was that the road
should be constructed contemporaneously with the
building of the barracks, and not until the barracks had
been built, as was contended on the part of the company.

ROYAL CREMORNE CURREN&

The Grand Fiord Exhibition of American flowering
plants, at the splendid pavilion in Ashburto❑ Park, ad-
joining what has been well termed " The Elysium of
Chelsea," continues to attract numerous and fashionable
parties. It is, in fact, one of the most pleasing lounges
in the vicinity of the metropolis. Open from 10 a.m.,
the lover of nature is enabled to erjoy the almost mira-
culous spectacle of at least 30,000 feet of space covered
with bloarn of the richest and most varied aspect.
Tnis magnificent canservatory—one of the finest that
could be found in any part of the world—is intersected
with gravel-walks, the plants growing not in pots but
beds, and may be regarded as a covered garden. The
light is admitted through a series of transparent ven-
tilators, adorned with paintings of the rare birds and
plants of the New World, illustrating the objects
for which the enormous outlay, amounting to many
thousand pounds, has been encountered, A delightful,
cool temperature is thus maintained, a matter of no
ordinary importance to those panting under the suffocat-
ing heat of the dog days. The beauty of the rhodo-
.lendrons, szalias, kalmias, &c., which are now at the
highest point of perfection, cannot be conceived by the! e
who have not witnessed the concentrated effect of a
collection hitherto unparalleled. We advise all persons,
whether the mere lounger desirous of passing an agree-
able hour, or the scientific botanist, to lose no time in
visiting this attractive exhibition. It will require no
persuasion to induce him to repeat the visit, when he
has had practical proof of the rich treat of which he may
easily avail himself.
London, England, 1856-06-09

MERCANTILE LAW AMENDMENT DILL

Their lordships then went into committee on this bill.
The LORD CHANCELLOR explained the nature
and object of the bill, which was to assimilate the law of
England and Scotland. In consequence of the dif-
ference at present existing, great difficulty arose as
to contracts made on the borders of the two countries.
The effect of this bill would be to abolish written con-
tracts in the majority of cases in which they were at pre-
sent given.
Lord OVERSTO.NE said be should not further oppose
the measure, but at the same time he thought that the
commercial community would approve of the bill. He
concluded by expressing a hope that when the bill was
discussed in another place, the whole of the provisions
of the bill would be more thoroughly sifted and discussed
than they had been in their lordships' house.

RETURN OF THE TROOPS.
Sir C. WOOD wished to correct a statement be had
made the other night with respect to the arrival of the
Princess Royal at Malta with troops on boar]. He had
not, when he made the announcement, seen the tele-
graphic despatch, but he had done so since, and it
announced the arrival at Constantinople and departure of
the St. Jean d'Acre and Agamemnon one with a regiment
of the Coldstreams, and the other with a regiment of the
Rifles on board. The Princess Royal was at present at
Constantinople taking out her lower deck guns in order
to go up to take troops on board.

WILLS AND ADMINISTRATIONS BILL.

In reply to Mr. ILLDIPIELD, .
Sir G. GREY said the Solicitor-General would, to-
morrow, state the course he intended to pursue with
respect to these bills.
THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.
Mr. KENDALL asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer whether he 'could inform the house when the
report of the committee would be laid on the table, and
what had been the cause of the delay ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated
that one branch of the inquiry had been completed, and
bad been referred to an actuary relative to some calcu-
lation. The actuary had not yet returned the report,
and therefore they were not enabled to lay the results of
the commission before Parliament.
Mr. ROEBUCK asked on what day they might ex-
pect the report ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
was not able to state the precise day the report would be
ready.

THE AMERICAN ENSISTMENT QUESTION,
In reply to Major REED,
Mr. 1.1. BAILLIE stated that it was his intention to
call the attention of the house to this subject as soon as

ther he had yet received any positive information ?

yet received any information on the subject upon which
any reliance could be placed.
