An inquest has been held on the body of an infant, the child of •servant in the employ of Mr. Harris, the keeper ol •ao eating-house in Halealerrace, West India. road, Limehouse. Mrs. Jane Harris, 2, Hales-terratie, deposed—The mother of the child, Rebecca Porter, entered my service on the 10th July last. I had a character with her from the barmaid of a public-house where elm had previously lived. I had no suspicion that she was euciente, but six weeks ago, in consequence of her wearing such a large crinoline, I taxed her with being in the family way. She assured me most ,emphatically that she was not. A fortnight ago I de s i re d her to leave oif crinoline, as hare was so large that it was in the way and the other servants were jeering her about it. She told me she would not go without crinoline for anybody, and she gave me notice to leave if I did not like it. I said, " Very well, leave in a month." She had denied so positively that she was enceinte that I had then no suspicion of her state. On Christmas morning she complained of a bilious attack and I let her discontinue work. She did not come down before dinner, aid I went upstairs and met her coming down. She sat down to dinner, but seemed very ill indeed. She stopped down, however, to take tea with the other servants. My suspicions berme around, sad I went into her room. Is consequence of what I taw I accused her, but she de. pied for half an hour that anything was wrong. I then threatened her that I would send for my surgeon, and have her examined. She then confessed. I insisted on I seeing the child. She unlocked her box, which was under the bed, and showed me in a bandbox the decreed child, wrapppped up in a piece of cloth. She had partly washed the ild. I did not look at it, so that I did not see marks oo its throat or peck. I told Mr. Harris what bed occurred. The mother begged of me to allow her to bury the child, and to take her back into my service, but of course I could not, and Mr. Harris had to inform the police of what bad taken plane. I have since learned that she is sot a London woman, but that she was married at Lynn, and that her husband is dead. She told me that she was in expectation of being married to the father of the child, but she denies that she hewn where he lives. She did not state who he was, but said that be was a respect able young man. Mr. Matthew Brownfield, M.R.C.S., mid that there were two marks from preemie by the fingers on the throat, one mark on the right side under the ear and the other on the left. The child was fully developed. The post-mortem examination showed that the child had fully breathed. The lunge Boated. The fiord had been oat, but was not tied ; consequently there had beau great hemorrhage. The child might possibly have died from lose of blood sod want of proper attendance, or it might have died from strangulation. By the jury —The marks of violence on the neck might possibly have been caused by effort, of self-delivery, or by other means. It was difilcult to state. The mother was much distressed in mind, and I found it necessary to en. deavonr to °mole her. The Comer adjourned she proceedings for the &Wildman of the scared. It is understood that the amused will be removed this seeping by Inspector Beare to the infirmary of the work house, where she will be detained under surveillance until she is sufficiently recovered to be brought before a magis trate.

This inquiry was, in cense queues, undertakeo, at the request of the Secretary of State, by the Lunacy Commissioners. Their report, to gether wit► a certificate of the prisoner's insanity, signed by three justices of the peace and two medical gentlemen, has made it neoessary to order his immediate removal to a lunatic asylum, sod under these circumstances the execu tion of his sentence has been resulted during her Majesty's pleasure.—Times.

NARROW ESCAPE OF FOUR BOPS FROM DROWN MG. —On *wise afternoon, between 1 and 2 o'clock, four young lade, three of whom are sons of Mr. Paton, membant, Dundee and the fourth the son of Mr. Morrison, Broughty Ferry, had rather a narrow escape from drowning. it appears that the lads, having • gun, went down the sands for the purpose of shooting sea-gulls. Having got on the Lady Bank, they travelled to the east end of it. Never thinking that the tide was flowing they stopped longer on it than they should have done, and it was only by the bank becoming lees visible that they discovered the danger they were is. They hurried to get off, but by the time they got beck the bank was completely surrounded. The elder led tried to wade it, and actually went oo until the water reached his neck, when he was obliged to retreat. They thus had to remain in this dangerous position for some time, with the tide fast closing around them, before they were ob served from the shore. On the alarm being given, a groat number of persons collected on the beach, butcould render no assisteoze, there being no boats witbie a mile of the spot. A the with • hone sod carton the beach tried to to them ; but, the water being too deep, he had to return. The tide by this time having covered No bank, the cries of the boys MOT' IL nlLl3tAAp.e.liarAteep.,loll were most heartrending. _ Two or three people ran to the l oi 0 I t o SH. l r ibn • . 4 W an. . &i .

The statement that the bullion in the Bank of France is again declining, combined with the uncer tainty which continues to prevail with regard to foreign politics, have to-day caused a fresh decline oft per cent. in the funds, which appear to be also prejudiced by the approach of the settle ment. In some of the other markets, however, prices, after temporarily receding, are now quoted a trifle better than they closed yesterday. Foreign stocks are dull. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Itentes were quoted 66fr. 40c., being sc. better than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 911 to 1, ex div., for money, and 911 to g, ex div., for the ac count (January 7). The official business re port is as follows :-Three per Cent.

The foreign stock market is dull, except as re gards Spanish Passive Bonds and Certificates, which have improved, the former being now quoted 341 to while the latter are last marked 14g. Mexican Bonds are f worse, at 37 to j, and Greek 1 worse, at 241 to 1. Turkish Consolidis are dull, at 471 to 48. Other foreign stocks exhibit little change.

The traffic return just issued by the London and North-Western Company shows an increase of nearly 10,0001. as compared with the corresponding week of last year. As usual at the end of the year, there was yester day a very active demand for money in all quarters, including the Bank of England, where the brokers have again been applicants for advances. Large sums hitherto lent in the Stock Exchange have been withdrawn, causing considerable pressure in that establishment, where high rates have been given for short loans. Few transactions have taken place to day below 7 per cent. for good bills. Si: months paper, however, was taken at 62 per cent, being fractionally below the terms demanded for shorter periods. About 59,000/. in gold was bought by the Bank yesterday, making an aggregate of 1640001. for the week. _ _ _ The steamer Shannon, from the West Indies, bag brought no lees than 660,000/. in gold and silver. The Etna, from New York, has brought 194,8001. in specie. Numerous new projects are in course of forma tion under the encouragement afforded by the easier prospects of the money market. As applications are said to be made almost every day to the several financial companies for the grant of their stamp upon new enterprises, it is to be hoped that the boards of these companies will continue to exercise the utmost possible discrimination in the selection of the con cerns to be brought forward, for thus only can they discharge their legitimate functions, and promote the advantage both of their shareholders and the public. They have already acquired an excellent position, the public being apparently perfectly will ing to shift upon their shoulders the labour of in vestigation and of selection, and to follow almost blindly any signal which they may make. It is believed that the boards of the financial companies are alive to the responsibility which this testimony of confidence on the part of the public entails upon them, and that they will not be hurried, even by a feeling of rivalry amongst themselves, into giving their en dorsement to any schemes which will not bear strict inquiry. The London office of the Anglo-Austrian Bank will be in active operation on and from Friday, the let January, under the management of Mr. Francis Breuer, for many years in the house of Messrs.

The subjoined annual report on the Scotch pig iron trade is from Mr. Thomas Thorburn, of Glasgow : The development of the iron resources of Scotland makes steady programa. The variety of uses to which iron is being applied is stimulating production, sad giving this country a limbo, position among the iron-making nations of Europe. In 1829, the year after the introduction of the hot-blast proms', the total yield of Scotland was 20,000 tom. Fresh discoveries of iron ores being made , new works were erected, sod in 1851 the production bad picreased to 760,000 tons per annum • the price that year aversgiug 40a. Id. per ton. and the st ock at the end of the same amounting to ; 350,000 tons. To-day there are 134 furnaces in blast, and the computed production for the year now tenni sating amouota to 1,160,000 tons, thus abortive an increase of 80,000 tom over 1862. The value of the make for the year at the present price npreseeta 3,800,0001. The average somber tf furnaces in blast were 127, employing about 45,000 men, and producing an average of 22,320 tons of pig non weekly. , According to authentic returns the quantity of pig iron ex • ported, and consumed locally, reached 1,105,000 tons. In my last aontud circular a considerable iocresse in the stock was forecasted, which, to • certain cutest, has been verified, the stock in warehoasekeepers' stores having in creased 42,000 toss, and in maker,' bands 13,000 tons. The total stacks are therefore DOW 775,000 tons ; Urns showing 55,000 tom of so increase. By a glance at the annexed table, it will be seen that the price is now 10a porters higher than the average price of the last eighteen years, and the highest reached since the revulsion of trade in 1817. Flactuatieg between s:is. at the °peeing of 1363. and Ma in . May last, the price has recovered and ascended, with eccaswnal reactions of • few shillings, to 68e. 6d., making the average price for the y , ..ar 555. 'Jd. a too. The high price sustained during the past month in the face of dear motley and declining exports. illustrates in a striking manner the sanguine views of capitalists who have been operating in this and other leading staples of prodas. shipbuildingyards on the Clyde, the fouadrist and atallestia iron works are generally actively employed, and the prime[ bar and angle iron has dammed fully fan par ton. It i• gratifying reflection, that whilst the wealth and ectapra• of Soaked arc reaping a rich harvest from this impales* trivia, we are famishing to the world ships, steamers, aid other manufactures of this branch necessary to prowsi// and civiliestion, at prices below what have been achieved by any other ace or country.
