The Estate of Messrs. Trueinan hj Cook.—A circular was' issued on Friday by the inspectors of the estate of Messrs. Trueman & Cook, whose suspension took place in November, ' 1847, with liabilities for 4577,547, stating that a farther, dividend of le. in the pound will be paid on the 31st inst., whereby the liabilities of the firm will be reduced to £60,366, and recommending for acceptance a proposal by' Mr. Cook to take the remaining assets in charge, rendering himself responsible, whatever amount they may realise for a farther dividend of Is. to be paid on the 30th of June, 1851: The Bank of England, it appears, have agreed to the recom-! mendation, and the concurrence of the other creditors ia fully expected. When the final dividend of Is. shall have been paid, the total received by the creditors will then have amounted to 14s. in the pound, and the liabilities will have been reduced to about .£40,000, while a farther diminution, will still be possible, owing to the intention stated by Mr.: Cook, that if the assets transferred to him should yield any. thing beyond the amount necessary for the proposed divtdend, be will apply it for the equal benefit of the creditorai Greenwich Hospital.—From a return which has just beeni presented to the blouse of Commons, it appears that thel total revenue of the Royal Hospital, Greenwich, for the! year 1849, was £148,731 6s. 5d., and the expenditure £146,957 18s. 2ici. The hospital schools entertained a complement of 800 children, at an expense for the year of £18,683 18s. 6d., and afforded maintenance and support to 2,710 pensioners. The gross rental of the estates of the hospital, in Northumberland, Cumberland, and Durham, in 1849, was £39,527 12s. Id., which, managing and other expenses deducted, left a net produce of £29,216 16s. 2d. Suicide of a Pruseian Captain at Bristol.—On the morning of the 6th inst. the neighbourhood of the quays was thrown into a state of considerable and painful excitement, in consequence of the discovery that Captain Heinrich Lange (the commander of a very fine Prmsian barque the Borussia) had committed suicide in the state room of the cabin, by cutting his throat and then discharging a rifle into the wound. It appeared that the unfortunate man, having made an unlucky voyage, and having been obliged to go to a very considerable expense to have his vessel (although a new tine) fitted with iron knees, &e., in order to get her clamed A 1 at Lloyd's, and in order to comply with the regulations of the emigration officers of the port (the vessel being chartered to take emigrants to New-York), it preyed upon his mind, and he was continually saying that he was sure his owners in Prussia would dismiss him, and that his wife and three children would become destitute. A coroner's inquest was held on the body, which was attended by the Prussian Consul, and a verdict of mental derangement was returned. The knife with which lie cut his throat was found behind the chest across which he was lying, and be must have pulled the trigger of the rifle with his toe by means of a string, almost 'instantaneously with his cutting his throat with the knife. £325 were found in his cabin.
