      ^^ on Screw S teamers and the Whale Fishing . — A powerful iron screw steamer , capable of carrying six hundred tons of cargo , has left the Tyne for the North , to proceed to the Davis' Straits whale fishing . She is the first iron vessel that has been built in the northeast ports for this trade , and she has been constructed _ en , arlcably strong . Suicide . — Mr . Bedford , coroner for Westminster , held a painful inquiry on Monday , into the circumstances connected with the death of Captain John Brown aged fifty-nine years , late of the 23 rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers , and a member of the Jiyiior United Service Club , who committed self-destruction by shootin g himself with a revolver , at his residence , No . 8 , Charles-street , St . James ' s-square , on Friday week . The iurv returned the following verdict : —" That the deceased destroyed his own life by shooting himself with a pistol when in a state of temporary mental derangement . " The proceedings , which were attended by a large number of deceased ' s friends , including several of bis late brother officers , then terminated . Buried Alive . —A large quantity of earth fell on Monday morning in the Cooper ' s Bank Colliery , near Dudley , while some men were driving a heading through a large pillar . One man was only partly covered , and drawn out without much hurt ; but another was completely buried , and the body was not discovered till life was extinct . Another Poisoning Case . —A Mrs . Grace Heard , a woman in humble life at the village of Belah , about five miles from Truro , is in custodj' , together with her father , under suspicion of causing the death of a little girl , four years old , the illegitimate daughter of the woman , who , on being taken into custody , said that her father had sent her to Truro on the 1 st of April to procure some poison , but that she did not know what she did with it , though she believed she had murdered her child with it , and had accused her father of having done so . The grandfather , who is described as a dissolute old man , denies having sent his daughter for poison . The woman was about to be married and it is supposed that she wished ' to get rid of the child as being an incumbrance on her , and a witness against her character .

      London , Friday Evening , May 22 , 1857 . TnE increasing demand for money , and the frauds that have come to light in Paris by persons connected with the Credit Mobilier , have depressed the funds . Consols have fluctuated from 94 i to 93 t , and are at present about the middle price . Turkish Six per Cent , stock is heavy at 94 . It is confidently asserted that the large Greek speculators have been bearing largely , and that in the face of the enormous exportation of silver and gold to the East Indies and China , and the non-arrival of the Australian ' galleons , ' that Consols must experience a further fall . Nearly one million and a half of gold is said to be now afloat , and will probably arrive before Whitsuntide . The immediate demand for money continues most active , and the rate of discount is fully maintained . Tho foreign share market has been heavy throughout . Paris and Lyons have fallen 21 . per share ; Luxembourg , 10 s . per share . Ceylons are nearly the same . At one time during tho week there seemed a disposition to buy Ceylons , but they have again been freely supplied at If premium . Great Western of Canada , owing to a considerable decrease of traffic , have fallen 30 s . per share . Grand Trunks retain their improved price , and with their bonds form favourite investments . Eastern Counties are a shade flatter ; while the heavy shares , London and North Western , South Western , Midlands , Lancashire and Yorkshire , are 15 s . to 20 s . per share lower than last week . Caledonian , Berwick , and Dovers all show a depreciation . In Joint-Stock Banks there is but little trade going on . Ottoman look slightly better . In foreign mines , Linaus Uuiversal ( Nova Scotian ) and a few others are asked for . At home , Great South Tolgus , Tehidy , Bassetts , Wlieal Trclawny , Mary Anne Trcwiatha , Edward , and Fowey , are in demand . Crystal Palace shares do not advance in price . The short account , only fourteen days , and the absence of business , materially affect the different markets , the weather being all in favour of good harvests . At four o'clock Consols close 9-11 , g .
