It is proposed to erect a monument in Dublin to the memory of the late Richard Brinaley Sheridan, by the profits of a pertimmance of two of his favourite dramatic productions, at the theatre of that city. The monument of Shakspeare in Westminster Abbey was raised by the produce of a representation of Julius Cesar, at Old Drury. Dreadful ljfeas Gaming.—A Captain in the Army, whose gallantry at Waterloo gained the admiration of his brother Officers, having lost his all at a gambliughouse on Thursday night, was found on Friday morning hanging on one of the trees in St. hilleS.S Park. lie was quite dead, and has left a most amiable wife and a large yotmg family to lament the fatal etlects of hits fully and imprudence. The deceased was at the Drawing-room on Thursday.—An inquest was held on the body on Friday, when the evidence adduced, clearly established the melancholy fact, that the deceased was ift the habit of visiting gambling houses, and had stink hum a state of great dejection on acct tof his losses; and it seemed probable that it was itunnutiately after his departure from one of those ruinous receptacles of rascals ead their dupes. that he committed suicide. We select the following passage front the evidence, its the hope of its checking the propensity to gambling in minds where it has ..tot yet risen m a habit:—The son of the gatekeeper at St. James's saw several persons round the body at four o'clock in the morning; one of them, a noted said. " Look at his face : why, you have forgot 1. a night? don't you recollect him now ?" IVitness had t.o doubt they were all gamblers. Verdict—lnsanity. Chiltern ilundreds.—The acceptance of the office of Stewardship of this place vacates a seat in Parnament; but the notion that it is attended with profit is quite erroneous. Chiltern is a ridge of Aalky hills, which crosses the county of Bucks, a little south of the centre, reaching from Tring, iu llertfordshire, to Henley, in the county of Oxford. This district belongs to the C‘own, awl for time immemorial has given rise to the nominal office of Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds. Of this office, as well us of the manor of East Hundred, in Barks, it is remarkable, that although frequently conferred upon Members of Parliament, it is not productive either of honour or em:dument ; being granted at the request of any Member of that House, merely to enable him to vacate his seat by the acceptance of a nominal office under the Crown ; and on this account it has frequently been granted to three or !bur different Members in a week.  The famous edition of Boccacio, which, at the Duke of Roxburgh's sale, was bought by the present Duke of Marlborough for the enormous sum of 24601. was on Friday pupehased by Messrs. Longman, at the far interior price of 875 guineas. Mr. Evans, of Pall-mall, had in both instances the disyosal of it. Advices from Vera Cruz, to the 31st of NLrch, were received yesterday. They mention that Mr. Park, the British Commissioner, had succeeded in purchasing from the Governmen% and private individuals, specie to the amount of 1,500,000 dollars, which he had paid for in notes on the British Trescury. This sum he immediately sent on hoard the Svbille frigate, which was dispatched for this country. The accounts add, that the whole kingdom of Mexico continued to enjoy tranquillity, and that the communication between the capital and the coast was uninterrupted.  According to a New York paper of the 16th of May, the British ship Lee, Captain Blacker, of 22 gulls, arrived at Charleston on the Ist, in pursuit of three English seamen, who had recently been apprehended amongst the crew of the pirate Quosia, and since confined in the prison of Charleston. Application would immediately be made ►o the Judge of the Federal District Court by the British Consul, to hare them delivered up, in order to be sent to England for trial.  The Porte has at length given satisfac►ion to Russia for the insult shcwn to a Russian vessel in the harbour of Constantinople. The Reis Effendi hart written a letter to Baton Str,ssonoti, informing hint that the persons who had committed the insult had been punished; and confirming the re-estalaishinent of a good underslamling between the two Powers, by the usual present of flowers and hint.
