VIENNA, WES '25.  A private letter from Trieste say s—"" We have not had in the memory of man, such a hot summer as the present ; in the middle of t!,e day the heat is so oppres►ive that people almost fajta away in the streets."  Tne prices of corn fall here daily. The latest accounts from S:c;ly and Apulia, state that they are reaping aliarvest which may be called threef dd ; and that the quality of the grain-is besides excellen..  According 10 accounts from Lemberg, the Russian General Ojarowsky is arrived there, to compli,rient their Majesties in the name of the Emperor of ltus. sia. Tie Court will remain some weeks at Lem. burg, and then go to Brady, on the extreme frontier of the Imperial territory, and after this return, pro. bably, through Transylvania, and by the military frontier of the Burma]. Their Majesties are expected at Vienna in the middle of Oztober.  Toe II di of July was an unhappy day for that part of Lower Austria, which borders on Hungary. A terrible hail stoim destroyed the greatest putt of the standing corn, particularly oats and barley. The hail stones were so uncommonly large, that many sheep, ike. were killed, and sever al persons much hurt. This partial misfortune will oot cause wiy unpleasant coniequences to the public in gent...l, because the harvest is every where most abtidant. Our trade which has been so long stagnant, becomes rather more active. Our silk arid woollen m inufactuters have received many orders; at Trieste, where during the winter little was done, large speculations are now makin4 in colonial goods. One article has fallen here which one would not have expected to do •o in the present state of the Brazils, via. diamonds, which used to be sold ■t 300 florins per carat, and are now at 70. One cause of this dint:dation is said to be the large quantity of diamonds sold at priportionably very low prices by Madame Murat. ' Suicides are here unhappily so frequent, that they are hardly spokt:n of. This week there have been two ; it is mostly young persons who have got into debt that have recourse to this desperate step; but unmerited distress from want of employment has carried off many victims. it is to be hoped that the return of bitter tirn,:s will at least cop the source of this last motive.  • 1

He knew this well, for he, who is a lawyer, mind, knew that I had been bound is recognizances for seven years from the year 1812. This was his safeguard I You often hear people who are going to fight duck taken btf:ire magistrates and bound over. That puts an end to the 4tfair.

TAILOR 9. LANSltati. TM! was an action on a pranissory note for 400 L bearing date in 1818, given by a party deceased, of whom the defendant was executor, to a suit of the name of Younghusband, and Made payable to bit otder. The payee, on the Bth of November, 1818, committed suicide, end was afterwards found, by the Inquisition of the Coroner,feka de ie, and his goods forfeited to the Crown. The King, by his warrant, granted this note to the plaintiff, who, in 1822, brought an actibo to recover the principal and interest due on the ON. In his declaration be set out his title derived thrbogh the Crown. The defendant pleaded that the action did not accrue to the felon within six years, aad denied the Inquisition and the grant. At the trial, which teak place at Carlisle in 1823, the Jury found the first issue for the defendant, and the two last for the plaintiff, and the effect of this finding now came to be argued m 4• a  special case. The case was *mud by Mr. TINDAL for the plain-1 tiff, and by Mr. Serjeant Caou for the defendant, and involved two mainquestions---first, whether the statute of limitations, which does not ran against the Crown, ran against the assignee of the Crown? and second, whether the plaintiff ought not specially to haie replied the matter by which be would take his peculiar case out of the general rule of law. In the course of his argument, Mr. TINDAL contending that the goods of the felon vested in the Crown from the moment when he struck the mortal blow. referred to the case ia Plowden, of Sir James Hales, who drowned himself, and respecting whom it was made a question whether the forfeiture occurred while he lived, or at his death? and it was ruled that the forfeiture took effect during his life—thus: " SirJamesH ales was dead, and how came he by his death? It may be answered, by drowning. And who drowned him? Sir James Halts. And nisei did he drown him? In iris life-time. So that Sir JA Hales being alive, caused Sir James Hales to die; the life of the living man was the death of the dead man." The Learned Counsel, however% only mentioned the case, and did not enter into its ludicrous details. The Loan Cuter Jounce observed, that this ease certainly furnished a very celebrated poet with materials for is. of biasses* estertaioing scenes. It was quite impossible net to suppose that Shakspeare was present at the argument, and drew from it the re* Sections or hi. Gravedigger on the death of Ophdia. The Coui.er took time to consider of their judgment.

CORO/MRS' /111. L. • The Marquis of BUCKINGHAM rose to move the third reading of this Bit). and previous/ made a few: obsertations on the subject. He descnbe4 the nature and importance of the office of Goroner,whieb, in point of rank, was next to the Sherif of the County. The present scale of their anolasents [having been rardated so long ago as thitly ba the  The Earl of EGREMONT offered a •variety of objections to the measure as it .hen pres:.nted isself to their Lordships. He had. no ri,l) whatever to deprive the Coroners of a dile remuneration 'for that services. He strongly objected to the consideration .of:the Bill's having come up from the Cominons as , st prifate 13111, when nothing in 'his mind could be cliarer than that it was a public Bill. • Neither *did hi seem to think the office of Coroner one of that insportauce which some appeared to think. In• Scotland the practice had greatly fallen into disuse, and no inconvenience seemed to result Arent it. Nor could he. avoid observing, that in cases of suici4e, the ver. diets of the Coroners'. Juries were almost invariably, u of lunacy." The measure -was one which 'he thought .required flirther consideration, and to be better known' and toptidered among the Magistratei in'the County. His wish was, that. the present Bill might be. rejected,' 'with an underitanding that the subject S.vould be brought fofward early in the neat Session of Parliament. The Noble Earl concluded by moving,.that the Bill be read _a third time. that day sir months. 44d. ELLENBOROUGH ,concurred in much of what had fallen tronethe Noble Earl, and depie:cited the idea of a Bill which went to tit all thereat properly in the kingdom, being for a moment regarded as a private Act. He disapproved of, certain parts of the Bill, particularly as relative to certain of the allowances pioposed to be made to Coroner', and pointed out some parts of the Bill whicb he deemed it would be advisable to omit. The LORD CHANCELLOR was decidedly a( opinion that the Bill was a public one. The Marquis of BUCspoke at some length, ih esplanation ; 'as did the Earl of t GR.II- briefly. Earl STANHOPE made.a few remarks of a tendency favourable to the B;11, and answered the leading objections of the Noble E4ll Egrcmott) with respect to the idea he szetned to entertairt that Coroners' Inquests rather encouraged than prevented suicides. He. Observed that the 'objeCt of the' inquisition was ,not to prevent suicide, but to ascertain'. whether or not the party was not killed by some other ' person. The duties of Coroners he considered as of beneßcial importance. Lord HOLLAND approved of the system of the Coroner's Inquisitions, as an ancient and salutary institution, and closely connected with.the popular part of 'our Constitution. The Bill so sent up, on the fact of its being ascertained a public orie, may justi.. fiably be .amended in its progress through that House ; and deeming that the measure was one which required further and More deliberate consis;eration, he,should vote for the Amendment.

MVRDFR AND SUICIDE.—A mutt (hocking, and almcit unprecedented at of murder and thicide, was committed on Monday night latl, about eight o'clock, in a yard near the bottom of Cecir...g.llet, between Litchfield-lireet and Stafford Birmingham. During the fcrvitude of her hu:. band in the army, a woman of the name of Yu... mans, had cohabited with John Ice, a Ord. grinder, who refided in the place above•memi, n,ed ; and her hutband having returned bon e about a month fince, the kft Jee, and went to live with him again. On Monday night the woman went to Jee's houfe to fettle, or jultify herfeif from "a fmall debt, which he reported the had left unpaid ; but as loon as the entered his door, the monfter, in a paroxyfm of jealouir and refentment, feized her, and cut her throat in two places in a moil dreadful manner with a raeor.— The unfortunate creature gave a loud thriek,and ran into the yard, endeavouring to dote the mo.. tal wound with her hands: the fell ahnoti ly. Jee followed her to the door, and feting her fall, immediately, with the fame inlirument, cut his own throat fo terribly, that he intlantly dropped down near her, and they both died in a few minutes, with very little ttruggling-nr convultion. The alarm the woman fiat gave brought feveral perfons to the (pot, but the bufinefs was fo terrifying and intlantaneous, that there was not time; for any one to prevent the man from murdering/ hirnfelf. Several medical gentlemen attended, but of no ufe, for the fufferers, though warm, had then ceafed to breathe, and were n.,tifing more than bleeding bodies; they both bled very much. After lying in the yard till a precognition of the ad had been taken by proper perfons, they were both removed into Jee's houfe, where the affair now waits the legal decifion of a Coroner's inquett. The woman appears to be about 4.0 years of age. 'Cu avoid that contrition which mutt have enfued, had not the precaution been taken, parties of the King's dragoon ,guards war Rationed in the avenues leading to the houfe,_to prevent the great number of people (hat affirnbled in the ttrt•ets from reaching the foot where rh;e nvt.,nreTin*,v  •
