XIV., of polished silver, the handles and projecting festoons being roughened and richly gilt. Twe whole effect is gorgeous and kingly. There are on the sides two alti relievi, very elaborately modelled and rendered in the silver. One represents a passage in the battle of Pultowa, and the other Peter the Great rescuing shipwrecked soldiers from the waves of the Neva. This superb cup is about three feet and a half in height, including the base, which is also of silver, and on which are represented in bas relief the palace of Gatchino and that of Peterhoff. The inscription is similar to that of last year, and a blank space is left to be inscribed with the name of the fortunate winner. The Royal Hunt Cup, manufactured at the same establishment, is a group of four figures in silver—a Highlander with two deer hounds, and a stag, the fortune of the chase, which he is preparing to cut up. It is very well modelled, partaking of the Landseer school, and finely finished in the detail. The Gold Cup, presented by tl)! Queen, has been manufactured by Messrs. Gerrr 1 and Elizabeth, very exquisitely modelled, and inut beauty. It is the Co., Haymarket. It is a vase great attention to no the age arreaoted with Queen figures of Queen Elizait.

SUICIDE FROM :MENTAL A a t NXIETY —L s evening Mr. ffi at 'ggs held an inquest 11 e . t Three Horse Shoes, Water-lane, Strand, on William aed 47 late clerk to Mr. Herbert,rbert, eminent outfitter, corner erbert, the Robinson, g ' of Arundel-street, Strand. It appeared that deceased, having suffered extreme mental anxiety in consequence of the death of a favourite son who perished in the late fire in Guildford-street, Russell-square, and of:reverse of circumstances, had resolved upon self-destruction. On Thursday morning he was found dying, and upon a post-mortem examination by Mr. Dunn it was ascertained that he had poisoned himself with laudanum. The phial that contained the poison was found in his writing desk. Verdict—" Deceased died from the effects of laudanum, hut whether be was insane or not when he took the deadly potion there was no evidence to  prove." TOLL ON BATTERSEA NEW 13nInGE.---I believe it is intended to impose a toll on the bridge about to be built from Battersea Park to Chelsea. Surely this might be dispensed with ; and as it is to be built with the public money the public ought not to be obliged to pay for it again, particularly as it is to be formed for the express purpose of affording access to a public park, and the use of which will be virtually denied to many of the poorer inhabitants of that vicinity if a toll is to levied on the bridge.— The Builder.
