He would send the child to the workhouse, where he would be well cared for, and be wo uld be brought before him again in a week, and in the meantime Dr. Melia., the almoner to the Italian minister, could be communicated with. Dr. Blotham said the boy should be at once taken back to the workhouse. WORSHIP-STREET. llll, • mss-naivas COMMITTED FOB TRIAL.—OAUTIOIt. David Baker, a cab-driver, badge 11372, was charged t ith having on the 7th ult. furiously driven a horse draw. big a cab. and thereby knocked down and'run over John and Elisabeth Mann, husband and wife, causing injuries of a serious character to the head of the latter. On the night of the date mentioned the ample were near their own home in Whitmore-road, New North road, when, as alleged, the hone and cab came suddenly upon them as they were attempting to mom the road. The woman became insensible, sad the man, too, was much hurt. Several re mands calmed, in oonseqsence of their being too ill to attend. The furious driving was disputed, and the acci dent attributed to the carelessness of the injured persons. One singular circumstance connected with the case is that the husband is blind with the right eye, and his wife with the left. He is also slightly deaf. He denied having made any offer to compromise the matter, although his circumstances are humble. Prisoner received an excellent character from his em ployer, but the magistrate determined on sending him to answer the charge before a jury. It is a class of crime greatly on the increase, and, by the 35th sac. of the 24th and 25th Vint., any person causing injury to others, even by wilful neglect, while so engaged, was liable to any term of imprisonment not exceeding two years, and with or without hard labour. Prisoner was fully committed for trial, but permitted to put in bail in two sureties of 501. each and himself in double that amount. Mr. Vance appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Wright, of liloonasbury-square, for the prisoner. TWO DEATHS BY STARVATION. An inquiry was held by Mr. John Humphreys, NMken Coroner, at the Duke of Wellington Tavern, North-street, Bethnal-green, last evening, touching the death from want of Sarah Taylor, aged 49 years. Joseph Taylor, 11, Mount-place, Bethnal-green, saidtbat be was now a general dealer, but when he married the deceased he had 1,700/. and she had 9001. They were then prosperous tradespeople, but through losses in business they fell into distress, and four years ago they came to live in Pleasant-place. The earnings of himself, his wife, her grown daughter, and two children (one of whom was aged ten and the other two They were 15a. a week, and sometimes nothing at all. They paid 4s. 6d. a week rent. They bad animal food once a for night or once in three weeks, when a relative, a butcher, sent them a joint of meat. They endured great privations and misery, but never applied to the pariah. Deceased had a dread of the workhouse, and said that she would do anything rather than enter it. She got ill, but she would not have the parish doctor. He got her what he could ; but her chief diet was bread and a little tea. She could not eat latterly. Last Tuesday morning alit got worse ; he sent for a doctor, bet she died soon after. Grace Bruce, daughter of the deceased, corroborated the last witness, and said that her mother bad not enough of nourishment ; but she would not go to the workhouse for fear of breaking up " the home." After other evidence the jury returned a verdict, " That deceased died from natural causes, but that her death was accelerated by want of proper fo od and by privations ; and the jurors also say that the premises where the de ceased died are in a moat disgraceful state, and are unfit for human habitation, and they request the Coroner to communicate with the proper authorities on the subject." Mr. Humphreys held an inquest at the Wellington Tavern, Cannon-street-road, relative to the death of Mary Donohue, aged 42 years. The deceased lived with her two daughters at No. 2, New-court, St. George's-in-the-East, andthey supported themselves by making shirts at 1 jd. and 2d. each (finding their own thread). By working all night three nights in the week they sometimee " did well," and earned lOa. a weekamongst them. A month ago the mother fell ill, and the daughters could onlyesrn 3s. or 4s. • week in all. On Thursday last the relieving-officer went to them of his own accord, and Dr. Belcher was sent for. Food and medicines were ordered for the deceased, and as there was no bed for her to lie upon she was removed to the workhouse. She was removed rather against her will, however, as she said that she had not clothes to go there in. She died directly she was planed on the workhouse bed. She had got meat twice from the parish recently. Dr. G. S. Belcher said that deceased was attacked with , bronchitis. She died from syncope. The Coroner having rammed np The jury returned a verdict of " Death from syncope, accelerated by privations and want of sufficient nourish• malt." Their Royal Highnesses the Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strata and • distinguished party dined with the Earl and Countess Vane last evening atHoldernesse House. The countess later in the evening received a select party. Earl Russell had a parliamentary dinner yester day evening, at his residence in Chesham-place. There were present—Lord Eliot, Lord E.

Mr. Hodgkinson, to-morrow, will ask the Presi dent of the Board of Trade whether, in order to mitigate the inconvenience arising from the recent failures of bank ing and discount companies, her Majesty's government will bring in a bill to enable the official liquidators of such com panies, when in the course of liquidation under the Joint Stock Companies Act, to issue to depositors and other creditors certificates of indebtedness, and to render such tertificates, and the debts thereby certified, transferable by indorsement. Lord Dunkellin gave notice on Tuesday evening of his intention to move that rateable, and not annual letting, value be the ground of qualification for the borough f r anchise. Mr. Bovill proposes the adoption of 8/. instead of 7/. as the limit. Mr. Wulpole will recommend that the direct payment of rates by the occupier shall be maintained u • necessary condition of qualifying as • voter. Mr. Sandford and Mr. Yorke are in favour of reducing the franchise in the larger boroughs only, differing, however, In their definition of • large borough.

With regard to the dockyard mes , th e Ouurcellor of the Exchequer proposes to save the privileges of those who are on the register, while Mr. Charles Bux ton is in favour of enfranchising all the officers of the Customs and Inland Revenue Departments who have been hitherto disqualified from becoming electors. On the other hand, there is a suggestion on the notice book for putting an end to the clans of freemen electors, saving the rights of those who are now voters. THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 14, 1866. IMPERIAL MERCANTILE CREDIT MO CI4TION.--(27113 DAY.) An extraordinary general meeting of the share holders wu held at noon, at the London Tavern ' • Mr. W. JACIBON, M.P. in the chair ; for the purpose of confirming the ress!intio n for winding-up, passed ate meeting held on the 28th of May. - The CHAIRMAN mid four resolutions had been placed in his hands to be assented to or otherwise. As the first re solution was simply for winding-up he would suggest that it should be pared without discussion, in order that it miOt go to the Court of Chancery that a reso lution for winding-up was canted unanimowdy. The shareholders would have an opportunity of cussing the affairs of the company on another resolution. Mr. Hone seconded the rcoolution, which, without any previous discussion , was put and carried unanimously. The appointment of Mr. Alexander Young and Mr. John hail as liquidators, was also confirmed without die mission. The Cifsiausir then moved the following resolution : " That if from any cause it should be deemed neoessary or desirable to have the aid of the court a proper application be made to have the voluntary liquidation carried out under the supervision of the conk." This resolution having been seconded wax also at once . "AA CHAIRMAN mid the next quertion the appoint meat of two supervisors to represent the s w h a a g reholders. Sheriff, member of • ant for Worcester, and Mr. 60 Feason, of the dLcanCompany, having besuchosen by the committee of creditors to t the creditors. I% Ile was happy to my that since they met the liabili- 1 , 1 ! ties had been reduoed by the sales of securities a and by the payment of calla to the amount Ex of 210,0001., and therefore they were 210,0001. 81 better off se regarded their responsibilities than they won 81 before. There was, too, a fair prospect of the liabilities 8 1 being reduced more rapidly than hadbeen hoped : and he believed that if they only got good times the shareholders '174 would be ritisflad with the course taken. He wished to at my that after the last meeting he added 1,000 shares 81 to his own holding. He might mention, in order Bt to ease the minds of the shareholders, that unda;the articles 84 of amociation no further call could become dm before the et middle of September. That gave them breathing time. s t In his opinion they would not want Si. per share,tbut Mr. 84 Young differed from him on that point. They had Si already received 200,0001. from calls, and, therefore, tit there was 300,0001. still to come in. Immediately 81 after this meeting the liquidators would issue e l a circular stating that the calls would be en- si forted, and that 11 per cent. would be charged for all calls al in smear = that being the amount which was to be paid to 81 the creditors for the postponement of their claims. The 11 Chairman concluded by stating that it was his intention, 11 on account of the state of his health, to retire from the 11 11 committee immediately after the meeting, and intimating IA that Mr. M'Andrew and Mr. J. O. Walker, chairman, of p the Madan Railway, were willing to act Mr. Horse made some remarks strongly condemnatory of the oonduet of the late directors, - who, be rid, if they had faced the shareholders, would have been thrown out of window. He also censured the chairman for having recently bought • thousand shares. He saw no reason why the directors in this case should not be prosecuted as the directors of the British Bank were, an he would move that the liquidators be requested to inquire and report whether there were not grounds for • prosecution. Mr. Chapman and Mr. H. I. Barker sold shares at the time when the company was represented to ; be in a flourishing position. 1 Mr.SURGEZE defended the Chairman against the censure of Mr. Hoyea. As regarded the directors, no one could t, doubt that there had been great mismanagement, but he r i ' t could not believe it was wilful. He should like to know g o how many shares Mr. Chapman held when the concern gi stopped. (A Voice—" Two hundred.") It was 19 astonishing what • number of shares the dint- tors tors held among them. The aggregate holding was 9,684 P,C, shares, or one-tenth of the whole number • they must, I', therefore, have felt confidence in the unde rtaking. The gi manager, Mr. H. J. Parker, held no less than 2,539 shares. RI (A voice, "On which he has not paid.") He believed that he paid up to the time when the concern stopped. Mr. VALENTINE KNIGHT said at the 'sat meeting the chairman said the late directors would not shirk ; but they had shirked or they would have been present on this °cession. The CHAIRMAN said what he meant was that after the investigation had taken place they would not shirk. Mr. V. KNIGHT continued—He should like to know why the secretary, Mr. Winterbotham, was associated with Mr. Chapman in holding 700 shares? The CHAIRMAN (pointing to Mr. Winterbotham) said he was present. Mr. V. KNIGHT then asked Mr. Winterbotham, who sat behind the table, for an explanation of what he referred to? Mr. WINTERROTHAM replied that he obeyed orders. Mr. V. KNIGHT did not consider that a sufficient excuse. The CHAIRMAN observed that the directors, with one exception, paid all the calls up to the 15th of May. Referring to Sir Morton Peto, who had been re ferred to by Mr. Hoyes, he said he was proud of the honourable baronet's friendship, and repeated hi. opinion that the company was bound to endeavour to fulfil its engagements towards the firm of Peto and Betts, adding that • large portion of the assets which had come in were paid by that firm. Mr. Jackson then used some very strong expressions, including the words " that fellow," in reply to Mr. Hoyes's censure of himself. At this point the scene became one of great uproar, and it was some time before it could be allayed. Mr. YouNG, one of the liquidators after stating that • call of 5/. would be necessary , confirm ed the statement of the chairman as regarded the cells of the late directors, to the extent of saying that only one or two of them were in arrear up to the 15th May, and that they claimed a set-off. He added that as liquidator he had called upon two or three of the directors to pay amounts due from them ; and that in the same capacity it would be has duty to investigate and report upon the conduct of the whole board. (Cheers.) A SHAREHOLDER here appealed to the Chairman to withdraw the expression " fellow " applied by him to Mr. Hoye.. The CHAIRMAN expressed his rowdiness to do so, pro vided Mr. Hoyes withdrew the imputation upon himself as an honest man. This was done by Mr. Hoyes, and after s few words from the Chairman the matter terminated amicably. Mr. APAndrew was then appointed a member of the committee. On the question of the appointment of a second member, Sir W. CLAY deprecated the retirement of Mr. Jackson, of whose conduct on the committee he expressed great admiration. The meeting backed up this appeal with loud cheers. Mr. JAY strongly urged Mr. Jackson to continue on the committee if only as an honorary member. As regarded the charges against the directors be assured the meeting that the matters referred to and others of a more serious nature had been before the committee. The CHAIRMAN expressed his willingness to remain upon the committee, on the understandin3 that if his health should compel him to retire, Mr. J. 0. Walker would suc ceed him. (The meeting had not terminated when our report left.) In a letter to one of his constituents, Mr. Clay, M.P., intimates that he shall probably withdraw his Educational Franchise Bill. He says the adjourned de bate upon it is fixed for Wednesday next, and though he has not finally determined what course he will pursue, he thinks it most likely that he shall reply to the argu ments against the bill, and then withdraw it. The death took place at Rome a few days ago, from the fever of the country, of the young and beautiful Lady l'ottinger. She had barely reached her twenty-fourth birthday. Sir Henry had just before suffered greatly from the same malady, the fever having attacked his brain. There seems to be a misapprehension abroad that the church patronage of the Earl of C.ainsborough lapses immediately to the Universities, whereas it is only when a living of which the patronage is vested in n Roman catholic is actually vacant that the presentation (for that turn only) falls to Oxford or Cambridge. As long as the livings are not vacant the noble earl has the same rights as any other patron, and can dispose of his patronage, or place it in the hands of protestant trustees. The funeral of the persons burned in the late fire at Dublin took place yesterday. The shops were closed along the route, and large numbers walked in the pro cession. The fact is recalled that in the year 1858 a great house connected with American trade—Denistonn's—went for 2,000,0001., yet that within a short time this firm paid in full, with interest at 5 per cent for the time lost. Last Sunday Prince Napoleon and Princes s Clothilde gave a grand dinner to Princess Mathilde, the Prussian Ambassador, Count de Gat:, the Italian Ambas. seder, Chevalier Nigro', M. Emile Girardin, editor of tho Liberte, M. Havin, editor of the Ude, MM, Gueroult and Lab)* of the Opinion Nationale. A letter from Berlin says :—" I have to conclude ' with a painful and, under present circumstances, an no. commonly serious piece of intelligence. The cholera has now broken out in the neighbourhood of Berlin. There were three oases yesterday at Frankfort-on-the-Oder, and sixty-five eases within the last two days in the little town of Arnswalde. The number of deaths is not mentioned in the papers. As the poor are poorer than ever, at a time when work is scarce, it would not need the congre gation of large armies to aggravate the evil. Bankruptcies multiply." L 05.4 OF ANOTHER HULL STEAMER.—Last even ing telegrams were received announcing the loss of the screw steamer Eagle, belonging to Messrs. Cammell, Woolf, and Haigh, of Hull. The Eagle foundered off Leesso Island, while on a voyage from Aarhuus, Denmark, to Hull. The crew and passengers were saved. SHARE L rIB DAY.) aho.4???1 loom' Ons o'Osoem.

The dealings in the Stock Exchange to-day are very moderate, attention being directed to the fort nightly settlement, which will be concluded this afternoon, and fresh news from abroad being awaited. Consols are steady, at the dosing prices of yesterday. English railways show dulness, and a decline has occurred in a few cases. As regards foreign stocks, the principal feature is a somewhat important advance in Spanish Passive and Cer tificates. Financial shares are quiet, but a slight improvement is observable in Credit Foncief and Mobilier, and International Financial. The directors of the Bank of England have not made any alterationito-day in the rate of discount. The demand for money in the general market is quiet, and transactions continue to be effected in choice bills at to below the official minimum. Consols are now quoted 861 to /, ex div., for money, and 861 to for the account (July 10). In the foreign stock market there is a good demand for Spanish Passive Bonds and Certificates, which have advanced about 1 per cent. Turkish of 1865 have also improved 1, and Mexican 1, while Greek Bonds have declined 1. Turkish of 1862 are firm, at the important improvement of yesterday. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are now quoted 51 to 53 ; ditto of 1865, 261 to / ; Greek, 101 to 111 ; Spanish Passive 104 to a ; ditto Certifi cates, 14} to ; Italian of 1861, 361 to ; Brazilian scrip, 61 to bi dia. ; and Mexican, 15e, to 4. American securities are steady, at the closing prices of yesterday. 5-20 Bonds are now quoted 641 to ; Erie Railway shares, 401 to 41 ; and Illinois Central, 74f to 751. The City of Manchester, from New York, has brought 18,0001. in specie. International Financial shares are now quoted 2 to 11 dia. ; London Financial, 16 to 14 dis. ; General Credit, 21 to dis. ; Imperial Mercantile, 91 to 81 dis. ; Credit Fonder, 3 to 3a aut.; and National Discount, 61 to prem. It will be remembered that last year the govern ment was applied to on behalf of the bondholders of the Imperial Ottoman Loan of 1862, because it had been subscribed under the auspices of the British government. It was arranged, through the mediation of Lord Lyons, for a syndicate "to receive the revenues set apart for payment of this loan (as contradistinguished from others), and to see that they be exclusively applied to that pur pose." It is well known that these resennes are derived from tobacco, stamps, and licenses, esti mated to produce 1,885,2201. per annum, while loan and sinking fund only require 640,0001. The annexed communication has now been received by one of the parties interested from the Foreign office, and has caused a considerable rise in the Anglo-Turkish Loans. Foreign-office, June 12, 1866. Sir,—With reference to my letter of the 16th ultimo, i am directed by the Earl of Clarendon to state to you that her Majesty's ambassador at Constantinople has spoken to Ali Paths on the subject of the communications contained in your lettere of the 10th et May last, on behalf of the bondholders of the Imperial Ottoman Loan of 1862, and that his Excellency has repeated to Lord Lyons in the strongest terms, the assurance he had so frequently given him before, that the charges on the foreign loans falling due in the month of July next would be punctually paid. Ali Pacha also informed Lord Lyons that he believed the arrangements for fonning the new syndicate were nearly complete, and that he thought they would not interfere with the special syndicates already existing.—l am, sir, your most obedient humble servant, (Signed) E. Hammon. J. A. Franklin, Esq., London Institution, Fiusbury-circus. About 94,000/. in gold was sent into the Bank yesterday, viz., 54,0001. in bar gold and 40,000 sovereigns from Alexandria. The operations of the week comprise the receipt of 1,196,000!. and the withdrawal of 170,0001. The gold by the Tripoli, from New York—about 92,0001.—has been taken for abroad. The amount of 439,000/. in specie from New York is announced. The City of Boston has brought 345,0001., the America, 57,000/. ; and the Saxonia, 37,000/. A further considerable sum is annol:nced as on the way from the same quarter. About 100,000/. in bar silverwasbought yesterday for transmission to Spain. The price is l.ru, at ss. 2d. per ounce. There is little or no business in Mexican dollars, and the quotation is nominal at ss. odd. One of the New York telegrams published yes terday morning stated that " the Fenians have cut the telegraph, and destroyed a portion of the track of the Grand Trunk Railway." It ap pears, however, from the following despatch, which bears the same date—namely, June 2—and has been received by the Grand Trunk Company, that no damage has been inflicted upon the company's property : Fenian had left Fort Erie. Done no damage to com pany's property. They are supposed to be about three miles from Fort Erie, and moving. Engagement is said to have taken place between them and Toronto volunteers, the latter driving the Fenians, and behaving splendidly No other part of the line attacked or damaged. We shall hear to-day, probably, of Colonel Peacock having come up with them a :th regular troops. A circular has been issued by the English Joint Stock Bank (Limited), which points to a probable resuscitation of the concern—a course which seems highly desirable, inasmuch as it is only by this means that the 150,000/. paid by the bank for the acquisition of its various old established businesses can be saved. The arrangements are notified in preparation for the payment of the half-yearly interest on the shares of the Rio de Janeiro City Improvements Company (Limited).

With reference to the market for American secu rities, Messrs. Satterthwaite and Cu. report as follows : In American securities there has been a fair amount of business during the past week in the London market, and on the whole prices have been well maintained. United States 5.20's at one time touched 66, but from this point there has been a reaction, and the eloping quotation is about the same as this day week, viz., fdl to Illinois shares remained without alteration at 75 to 1, but Eries on the lower prices in New York have given way nearly 2 dols., the last price being 404. to 41. The settlement in course of arrangement to-day has developed a scarcity of both 5.20 bonds and Erie shares, and tee " contango" on the former had entirely gone off by the close of business this afternoon. There is a continued good demand for the Debentures and Consolidated Bonds of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway. The first and second Mort gage Bonds of the various sections are steady at former quotations. The India Five per Cent. Stock was a little more offered.. There was no change in Exchequer the March being quoted 15e. to sa. dia., and the June, ss. dia. to ss. prem. Turkish Bonds showed heaviness in the morning,' and were dealt in at a fresh reduction, owing to the unfavourable tenor of the news from the continent, but a rise immediately followed the publication of the communication referred to below, and the loans of 1858 and 1862 closed respectively 3 and 4 per cent. higher than yesterday. The Turkish Five per Cent. of 1865, however, only partia ll y recovered from the morning's fall, and closed.* per cent. worse than yesterday. owing to its being doubted whether the reply from the Turkish minder is to be interpreted as referring to this portion of the debt. Egyptian Bonds (of some descriptions) also improved to 1, and Italian of 1861, t. On the other hand, Buenos Ayres Deferred and Russian of 1850 and 1862 declined 1 per cent ; Spanish Passive, I Turkish of 1866, ; Mexican, Ito ; and Spani sh Certificates, ERLTIBH MTh Bh.
