HORRIBLE SUICIDE FROM THE DUKE OF YORK'S COLUMN THIS DAY.: A painful excitement prevailed this morning throughout the whole of the west-end district, owing to a report which prevailed that the Saxe-horn player of her Majesty's Theatre had committed suicide, by throwing himsalf fcom the Duke of Yoz k's Column.  It appears that shortly after ten o'clock the unfortunate deceased, whose name is Albert Stephan, Saxehorn player at her Majesty's Theatre, and brother-inlaw to M. Pettit, maitre de ballet at the same place, paid his sixpence and ascended the Column. The moneytaker noticed nothing in his manner to lead him to sup pose that he was contemplating suicide. He had been up for nearly twenty minutes, having been there all alone, and directly after the Horse-Guards clock had struck half-past ten, he (the door-keeper) heard a shriek from a female. He ran out to ascertain the cause, and when he turned round to the west side of the pillar, he there saw the lifeless body of the gentleman who had, but a few minutes before, gone up the Column. He bad jumped from the west side, or that portion of the pillar facing Chevalier Bunsen's mansion, in Carlton-gardens, and, in coming down his head came into fearful contact with the base of the Column, and shattered it to atoms. His brains were scattered all over the base of the pillar, and on the ground for some yards round. When picked up life was quite extinct. The force with which his feet came to the ground caused his boots to burst from their soles and completely smash his right foot. Police-constable Barber, of the C division, was soon on the spot, and he, with the assistance of other constables, conveyed the unfortunate man to St. Martin's Workhouse. The only property found on him was two sixpences, a purse, a white pocket handkerchief, marked S. T., and Mr. Lumley 's t ngagement. He was very respectably attired, beirg dressed in a black surtout, black trousers, and a dark waistcoat. Ile was an unmarried man, and about fi ty- five years of age. His brother was unable, through grief, to see him for some time after the melancholy cccurreace.  --

CITY OF GLASGOW STEAM-SIIIP.—It seems only the other day that we announced the launch of this noble vessel. She is now out on a cruise. The precise dates which mark a rapidity so extraordinary, seem not unworthy of being recorded. On the 28th of February, then, the launch took place. On the Ist of March the good ship was at the Crane-berth in the harbour, for the purpose of getting her machinery on board. By the 12th, she bad returned to the building yard at Partick, with everything fitted in. On the 20th, her steam was up and machinery in motion ; and on the 27th, she proceeded to the Gareloch, to get her compasses adjusted in full rig and equipment for sea. Considering the weight and power of the engines, and the magnitude of the vessel, this celerity of dispatch on the part of Messrs. Todd and M'Gregor has psrhaps scarcely a parallel in the annals of steam-craft. We understand that the City of Glasgow, previously to going up the Gareloch on Wednesday stretched out towards the Cumbraes, and that, in fair steaming, she made ten and a quarter knots an hour; thus exceeding the expectations of her builders and owners, by about two knots, although not in the best trim for speed, being four feet draft of water more aft than forward, and the screw topping the surface fully twelve inches. This is an auspicious commencement, and we have no doubt that under canvas, for which she has been specially constructed, the City of Glasgow will prove almost unequalled in speed. The majestic steamer is now out at sea, proving herself in every possible way, in order that she may proceed on her first voyage as a sound and well-tried ship. It was expected that she would return from this trial trip yesterday whieh has most properly been made a thoroughly business matter, in place of a pleasure excursion, and that she will then take her place at her loading berth, where she will then come under the care of her active agent lir. Langlands, who, we are glad to learn, has not been idle in his department, having already secured two-thirds of her complement of passengers, and a considerable quantity of goods. There is now no doubt whatever that this magnificent vessel will proceed on her voyage to New York on the appointed day—namely, the 16th April Glasgow Herald. Thomas Emmerson, a police-constable, committed suicide vesterday, by drowning himself near Richmond bridge. He had been sixteen years in the force. At the annual general meeting held by the shareholders of the St. Germain Railway Company a few days since, the report states that the whole amount of the damage done to the line after the revolution of February reaches the sum of 578,079 f. 52c. No definitive answer has yvt been made by the Government to the demand made by 'he board of directors for the reimbursement of that amount —ants for 1849 are superior to those of 1848, but inThe ef 1847.
