CORONER'S INQUEST.—On Thursday afternoon an inquest was held at the Roebuck, in Southwark, before Mr. Payne, on the body of Mr. Jeffrey Taalcy Winsbarrow, aged 42, late master of a West Indiaman, when after hearing evidence at some length, and reading several communications on the subject, the jury returned a verdict " that the deceased committed suicide whilst labouring under a fit of temporary insanity, produced by the excitement arising from thu frauduleat hill transactions in which he has been engaged." On the Ist of September next the London and Southampton Railway will be open as far as the great western road leading to Exeter, and the Southampton end as far as Winchester, snaking in the whole 53 miles of this great undertaking completed. About six months since John Callaghan, one et the rate. collectors of St. Paul's, Corent-garden, was sentenced tra„. portation, at the Central Criminal Court, for defalcations in, his accounts He has since died on board of the infirmary ship at the hulks, having been in a very 11l state of health at his trial, which continued until the period of his death. Tj. sStaArkLeT EAsSq A meeting .11;T:1—Lieutenant F. Roberts, late of her Majesty's ship 11I—n. The former gentleman, 0 okApEtaFceA onIR FOrFidally lOasNt,ObeUtsßveeAn attended by A. Jenkinson, Esq., left the Royal Hotel, Plymouth, in a chaise and four, at air early hour in the morning; the latter, attended by Major Bacon (son-in-law of the Earl of Oxford), left the Globe Hotel at the same time, for the neighbourhood of Saltash. The ground having been fixed and the paces measured, the principals took their places, and exchanged shots, without any injury. Mr. Starke's friend then advanced, and asked Lieutenant Roberts if he was satisfied ? He replied, " I leave it to my friend to decide." The seconds were about to declare the affair at an end, when Mr. Starke observed that, considering the angry notes that had passed they ought to have another shot. The seconds, after some consideration, consented. The pistols were then re-loaded in the presence of the parties, the above gentlemen again took their places, and both firing at a given signal, each ball passel close to his opponent. The seconds then advanced, and said no further hostilities could be permitted. Mr. Starke, addressing himself to , Lieutenant Roberts, observed, that on the present occasion he had acted honourably. Lieutenant Roberts paid a similar compliment, and saluting each other, they left the ground, accompanied by their respective friends, without any reconciliation being effected. It is not correct., as stated in a Provincial Paper, that the dispute originated on account- o an accomplished " fair one." An inquest, whose proceedings have occupied ....hree consecutive days, was held last week at Yarmouth, on the body asf Elizabeth Davison, who died suddenly, in the shop of a chemist and druggist from the rupture of a varicose vein. The verdict was, that the woman died in consequence of the improper and unskilful treatment of the chemist.

FLINTER—one of the braves a,id most noble-minded officers in the QUEENS arm —died by his own hand in the cotn,le of the previou s night. The immediate cause of this rash act is not stated, but we are morally certain that the treatment which he received from the Spanish Government, in some shape or other, induced the state of mind which prompted the commission of this lamentable suicide. The following account of his life is taken from the Morning Post, and, due allowance being made for the Carlism of the writer, is creditable to that spirit of generous impartiality with which our Tory Contemporary is in the habit of treating the memory of a brave opponent ; General Plintcv w‘s an Irishman of good family. He served under the Duke of Wellington in Portugal and Spain, and was one ef the many officers who joined the Portuguese and Spinish armies by permiss'on of our Government. He was employed confidentially at the termination of the Peninsular war, and assisted the late Duke of 84n Carlos in arresting the expeditions which were fitted out here fn. the liberation of South knerica. He married a lady of large property in Spanish kiretica, but his conduct was so displeasing to the people, that as soon as their independence was secured they prevented his appearance among them, and his lady and children were compelled to remain apart from him, for the purpose of saving a considerable estate from being forfeited. He was then sent to Puerto Rico and the Havannah, and he returned to Spain in 1835. The subject of free negro labour engaged much of his attention in the Colonies, and he published in London a work on the subject, which contains much valuable information. The opinions of the then Colonel Flinter were supposed to be Royalist, if not Carlist, but it would appear that desirous of being actively employed, his set.timents underwent some modification in that respect. He was male chief of the staff to Mina during the campaign of that bad man in the Basque Provinces, and was wounded twice at the battle of Mendogiia. He was laid up for soak time, and the Spanish surgeons wanted to amputate his leg, but hp rpfesed tq submit to the opera andbe again joined the army, notvvithstandt. the severitY of his wound. He was appointed tc, comni And at Toredo:more to get rid of his 01?-ims than to render him any benefit, but he eontilvtd to dq so much with very little means that one of the few brilliant and successful afttira of the campaign was conducted by him. Success on the part of a foreigner is a mortal fflnee in the Spanish service, and Flinter was soon after the battle of Tolpdo !walled and laid on the shelf. No doubt he was eltafed, and fretted in hl; retirement, and felt as sorely on his own account as we are sure he did for the common good. 1h: was a spirited high-minded officer, brave as a lion, and n generous as the day. He had all the faults and all the virtues of his country. He was a jovial free-hearted Irishman, jealous of his honour, and warmly devoted to the cause he had o:pulsed. We are grieved to hear that he met so unhappy an cnd. Flinter was worthy of a soldier's death.

PRUSSIA.  A letter from Berlin, dated April 27, says :  The same uncertainty prevails here in politics. The negotiations between the different Cabinets continue. A wish is shown to settle the Swiss affair amicably if possible, but they do not know exactly how to set about it. Prussia and England wish the proposed conference to be held at Brussels. However, you may be sure that Switzerland will not conclude a separate treaty with France. If such a project ever was entertained it has been abandoned.  Since yesterday the suicide of Baron Bruck is the exclusive topic of conversation. This tragic event throws a sad light upon the deplorable condition of Austria ; and Prussia has been told to link her destinies to that Empire, falling into decay ! Youth and hope linked to decrepitude and the past ! We are asked to perform the part in Vexetia which Russia performed in Hungary, to her cost. Every true Prussian would blush with shame if he thought his Government capable of concluding such a bargain. Nevertheless Austria strives to obtain, with that tenacity which is peculiar to her, an alliance and reciprocal guarantees—refusals do not discourage her, in the same way that she fancies that Prussia, which received a blow from her, will reply by good services. The Middle States, moreover, are beginning to reflect ; when a ship is about to sink the rats leave it. When the question of the Federal military reform comes on a change will be visible.  A great battle has been waging in the Chambers since yesterday on the land tax. It is said that the Government will be defeated. The proposed taxes meet with the strongest opposition from the landed propri,tors and towns. Petitions for a reduction of the Rhine tolls are being numerously signed. The Prussian Government can, however, do nothing in the matter without the consent of the other Riverain States. However, some hope of attaining the object exists in consequence of the international service of the Bel. gian railways, the Great Luxembourg Company, and the French Eastern Railway, which, by a reduced tariff, threatens to exclude the competition of the Antwerp, Cologne, and May once line as regards the traffic to Switzerland, so that Prussia has  already taken steps, with Hesse and Baden, for removing the tolls. Conjecture is afloat respecting a visit paid yesterday to Sans Souci by the Archduchess Sophia of Austria, accompanied by the Queen Dowager and Queen of Saxony. They arrived quite privately yesterday morning, and left the same night for Dresden. Tne Prince Regent did not meet them at Sans Souci, but has gone there to-day.

THE STAMFORD MURDER.  The interest excited by this almost unparalleled case, which began to subside with the suicide of the supposed murderer (Henry Corby), has been again revived by the discovery of a portion of the plate which was stolen from the house of the unfortunate victim, Miss Elizabeth Pulley. This discovery took place under the, following circumstances :—T wo men named Charlesworth and Lowe were fishing in the back water of Hudd's Mills, just on the Outskirts of the town, when one of them perceived something glittering at the bottom of the stream which he at first supposed to be shells—a supposition, however, which further observation dispelled. Throwing in a snaphook, he drew out a piece of wash-leather. This stimulated further search. Entering the water, which at the spot in question is about seven feet in depth, the man succeeded in recovering 30 pieces of silver, consisting of tablespoons, forks, &c., besi es several plated articles. Information of the matter was then communicated to the police, and another raking of the bed of the stream brought to light five more pieces of silver. Some of the articles are marked " E. P." (Elizabeth Pulley), and others with the initials of members of the deceased lady's family. We understand that it is intended to dam up the stream and pump out the water, with a view to a more careful examination of the bottom, as it is not improbable that Miss Pulley's rings, which, it will be remembered, were seen in a small writing: desk in Corby's possession, were disposed of in the same way as that portion of the plate which has thus been recovered. On the morning of his apprehension Corby was seen going in a direction toward's Hudd's Mills, and in a plantation which he would pass on the way has been found a plated cream ewer, which from its shape could not conveniently ne packed in the wash leather in which the other articles were wrapped previous to their being cast into the water. The plate, most of which appears as though it had never been w-ed, is now in the possession of Mr. Superintendent Ward. It was stated in evidence that the deceased lady used to say she bad sufficient plate to furnish a jeweller's shop. There seems every reason to believe that the heavier portion of the silver which Miss Pulley was known to possess was disposed of at Peterborough on the day on which Corby ,was traced thither with a weighty basket.  [
