Mr. Tyrwhitt said the young man had acted very provrly. The husband of the prisoner stepped forward and said that the child was a grandchild, awl that ever since its death his wife had fretted very much, and her mind had become affected. The ',dueller said that her husband had had some words with her daughter, and told her to pack up her things and leave the house, and she went after her daughter, feeling it wu her duty to go where her daughter went. She did not think that she could have been in her right mind, or she would not have gone to the water, as she had a dread of it. Mr. Tyi Whitt, seeing the excited condition of the pri soner, said the best thing would be to remand her to a place where she would be taken care of. The prisoner here became still more excited, calling oit, •• Deal send me to prison. I shall go mad.

A FAMILY POIONED DT EATING Brirr.—A sad affair was investigated by Mr. Taylor, the coroner, at Druz, on Thursday afternoon. It appears from the evidence that on Saturday afternoon knit, Mr. Tonkinson, draper, of Selby, drove Mrs. Tonkinsou and her three sisters. to Dina-hall, near Selby, to see their brother, Mr. Coulson. On arriving there, Mr. Tonkinson was alarmed to find Mr. and Mrs. Coulson, together with their servant, all seriously ill, in different path of the house, and each ignorant of the condition of the other. Their symptoms suggested poison, and Mr. Perkins, surgeon, of Swath, was sent for. Me attended anti prescribed for the sufferer: but Mr. Coulson died the same evening, and Coul-on at an early hour on Wednesday morning. lie girl his since quite recovered. The symptoms were violent vonitting and purging, but without pain. The election- from the stomach were tested for mineral poison, but WA the slightest trace was discovered. It transpired., however. that the family had dined on apish pudding and cold roast hue!: on pursuing the inquiry, it was found that the suet red fur the pudding had been in the house near four months, " chopt small and salted down." In this suet Mr. Perkins found sufficient acid to account for all the symptoms. The beef was also not considered in a whole some state. A post mortem examination was made on the body of Mrs. Coulson, and the cause of death was found to he exhaustion following the poisoning of the blood, by the eating of some decayed animal matter acting on a feeble constitution. Mr. and Mrs. Coulson had previously 'Whirl from diatrhoe, and were thus not so well pre pared to struggle against the effects of the deleterious twitter as the servant girl. The inquiry was confined legally to the death of Mrs. Greaten', as Mr. Coulson was lo.ried the previous Tuesday, Mr. Perkins being per k:still satistii d as to the cause of death.

MONDAY EVENING, WY UP LONDON IS(11117784rfON: (nue DJ n. hi. morning the toviaios of the lute of voters for the City of London ocsamenced before Kr. Bpenoer Fennel in tho Court of Common Pleas. Guildhall The Liberals were represented by Mr. BidneyBmith and Hr. ledges, and the Conservatives by Hews, 7, R. Beaky and T. Harper. The Liberal Registration Associates Walla to insert 208 new names on the Ist, and to amend the description is the case of 10/ already on the list. According to their account the number of tory Wait= for insertion is 238 ; but the Agars is in creased to 900 by the agents of the latter. The liberals have 611 lodger °lain* and the oonaervativet 4/. The number of liberal objections is 801, sea of ewers valise ones 1,620. There are a great number of ledger claims made by lodgers themselves, and it is stated that several females apply to be placed on the list. TK/11 LODOIM OLLIKS. Bhottly . el ter the opening of the emu*. Mr. Ledger, addressing - the revising barrister, said There is • now class of claimants before the court en this occasion, I mean the lodgers, and you are aware, sir, that no derision has yet been given by any barrister as to what would be saMoitrat evidence of their olalms whether it is to be proved, as other claims are, to the satisfaction of the barrister. In consequerase of Laving no Trecedent to guide us, we have not given any notice to lodgers to appear at any time, thinking you might kindly intimate what course of proceeding you enact us to take to substantiate the lodger claims. I may say that, in addition to claims made on either side, there are • considerable number of gentlemen who have made claims quite independently, and of course they have a greater diMoultT than others will have in endeavouring to learn what to do. In 99 out of IGO lodger cases the claimant* are necessarily engw'ed in business elsewhere, and they would have great d.ff.culty in finding time to attend at the court during the day. It has been suggested that revising barristers might accommodate such persons by sitting at the time when they could attend, via., the evening. We have to attend our own °Moe until 9 o'etsrk at Night bar the pur pose of giving lodgers the information that is necessary, and it is at that hour the largest number of them appear, it being their only leisure time. Under the new Regis tration Aot, by the 20th section, the lodger claims must appear in • separate list. Now I wish to ask whether, as according to the statute the lodgers have to appear in a separate list for each parish, the lodger list will be taken after the household list. The Itemising Barrider—That seems the proper coons to take. If a gentleman wishes to get the franchise he mast take the trouble to rapport his claim. As to the question about evidence, It is difficult to lay down a distinct role in the matter, but I am willing to take slight evidence in oonoboratioa of the deolaratiOn which the act of parlia ment causes the lodger to make. Mr. Sidney Smith —The lodger is obliged to make a solemn declaration, which he must send to the overseer of the vestry. I think it is desirable that the overseers of the various parishes should make some sort of invesitiga rioe themselves, and that that proceutioa ought to be con sidered sufficient on both sides. The Revising Barrister—l am prepared to takti— oertificate of the lodger, if admitted on both sides, instead of attendance; but the lodger must remember that another objector might appear, and that in that caso his personal attendance would be necessary. Mr. Bailey—When the claims oome before us we shall see whether they are bond sde and not filled up by one person in a great number of names. The Revising Barrister—lt is the duty of the overseer to make himself acquainted with the circumstances attending the cases in household lists, but he cannot be expected to know anything of the lodgers. With regard to the lodger list, I wish to announce that owing to their length I shall require a written notice of objection to be served before the hearing of the ease. COUNTY OF 111IDDLIONX REGLYTRATJON. (TlllB UM .) Mr. J. Williamson, the revising barrister for the county of Middlesex, opened the court this morning a the Black Dog, Bedfont, taking first the parishes of that polling district.

LAMBETH REGISTRATION.-(THIS 114 Y.) This morning Mr. Philip Henry Le Breton, the barrister appointed to revise the list of voters for this borough, held hie first court at the Semions House, New illgtAlll Causeway, Borough. The district first investi gated was Cumb«-rwell. On the learned gentleman taking his peat, . . . . Mr. Stirke solicitor, who appeared by the instruction of Mr. Ilughts,3l.P., to •' waist any person claiming to be placed on the register as a lodgur," inquired whether it would be necessary for a lodger to attend the court in per son to substantiate his claim. . . The Revising Barrister said that he hail not come there, as they might imagine, without having looked into the matter, seeing that there had been considerable discus sion on the lodger claim.. They had Lad the benefit of what learn. il revising barristers had been doing in Ire hind. They were certainly in that part of the kingdom carrying the proof required for the lodger claim rather too far. All lie should do, however, was to see that the act of parliament in point of form was strictly complied with. Then be shoukl desire to see whether it would or would not in o-0011: cases be desirable to have the attesting wit ness to the claim present. Strict], no doubt that ought to be the rule in all cases: but in the present court he should exercise his own discretion : . . lr. Stirke said that }notably the signature of the landlord or landlady would be proved in the ordinary way by somebody who knew their handwriting. The Revising Barrister was aware of that, but the act I rovided that the attesting witness should always prove the signature. It would not be necessary for the lodger always to attend ; his wife, his son, or his daughter could abundantly prove his cireumstames. The claims of the lodgers in Camberwell were then gone into so far as the Conservative Registration Association were prepared to go, that body being represented by Mr. rarnard, and Mtesrs. :Gazer and Whitely, of Kenning too-perk-road.

"My dear sir,—The stories to which you refer about engagements of mine to the beads of the Roman catholic church or intercourse with Rome respecting the Irish church question, are idle falsehoods. Permit me respect fully to suggest that, when statements of this kind are circulated, the proper course may be to mam dispose what authority they re.t. This course will at once ' of them. When there is some kind of evidence in supp ort of such ru mours, it is not unfair to ask the person who is the subject IA them to contradii t them. Contradiction, when there is no such evidence, ought not to lie called for. I have myself to blame forhaving, at an early period of this controversy, with a view to satisfying the public mind, contradicted, perhaps too readily, a variety of ingenious rumours for which there was no more excuse or apology in any fact, or in any ostensible awearanoe, than there is for the statement you mention. You will not understand me to find fault with your inquiry, and perhaps, it you will cause Publi city to this letter, which I leee no time in writing, it may have the effect of checking, in some degree, the manu facture of these absurd fabrications, which are put to do duty in the absence of argument against us. -1 1111114i11, my dear sir, yours very faithfully, " it.

This is little ether haters about the stook markets this morning than the general inactivity of business, although the commenoement of the fortnightly settlement is affording some additional occupation. Generally, the market is steady, with some inclinations to firmness in seve ral of the superior stooks, which would be more marked if political unoertaintiee were more composed. The catastrophe by the earthquake in Ecuador and Peru has adversely affected the securities of those republics; but it is hoped and believed that later accounts may prove that the exteet of the calamity has been exagge rated. Home railways, for the most part, remain at Friday's prices. The demand for money inquiet, the general quo tation for the last commercial bills being 1k to per cent. At the Bank little or no business is in progress. On the Stook Exchange there is a slightly increased demand in connootion with the settlement which commenced this morning; but the terms for short advances on government stocks aro not quoted higher than 1 to 1 j per cent. Consols are steady, with a fair degree of firm ness, at in i f to 94 for money, and 94 to for account. Now and Reduced Three per Cents., 92$ to /. Exchequer Bills remain at 13x. to 10e. prem._ In the railway merkot, Midland, Great Eastern, and London and North Western stocks are firm, but Metropolitan is again slightly lower. Sub joined are the present quotations :—London and North Western, 113 to 1; Great Western, 491 to 50 ; Midland, 1081 to 1091; South Western, 86 to 88 ; Great Eastern, 381 to 1 ; Brighton. 52 to 1 ; South Eastern, 761 to ; Metropolitan. 1661 to 4; Great Norther's, 106 to ; ditto A, 1061 be ; Loch.. Chatham, and Dever, 161 to 4. Indian stooks are also steady. The Tea-sad-a- Half per Cleat. stook is quoted at 215 to 917; ditto Five per Cents., 1144 to 115; ditto Four per Omits., 103 to 1. Roads, Ws. to Ws. pron. ; Debentures, 106 to 1. With the exception of Peruvian stock foreign securities are generally well supported. Peruvian of 1866 has fallen to 76/ to 77, being 2 per oent. below Friday's prices. Spanish, 1887, 34 to ; Milian, 1867, 94 to 95; Egyptian Seven per Conte., 861 to 87; Italian of 1861 has been dealt in at 514 ; Turkish Five per Cents., 1866, 39 to 1. The Honduras Loan is quoted at 85 to 86.1' The allotments of the Russian Railway Loan were received this morning. The applications were very numerous, and as a rule the allotments have not exceeded ono-twentieth of the amounts applied for. This has had a good effect on Rus sian securities generally. The Moscow-Jaxosloff Railway is quoted at 34 to prem. Orel Vitebsk, 831 to 831. In American securities United States 5-1) Bonds remain at 714 to 72. Very few transactions are reported in Bank shares. In foreign banks Anglo-Austrian are quoted at 1.4 to 7, and Imperial Ottoman at 1 to 1 prem. Miliool6llooll.l shares are steady. National Dis count, 11 kto ; General Credit, 2# to k r dis. ; International Financial, 1# to ) dia. ; Hudson's Bay, 141 to 15 ; Telegraph Construction, 16 to I ; Atlantic Telegraph, 3; to 4 ; and Anglo-Ame rican, 201 to 21k. The directors of Muntz'a Metal Company have declared an interim dividend for the half-year ending June 30, at the rato of .5 per cent. per annum, by way of interest on capital. It is pay able on theist October. The half-yearly interest, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the Preference Stock of the London and Greenwich Railway, less income tax, will be paid on the 30th inst. The Wave of Life has arrived from Melbourne with 101,300/. Australian gold. The letters of allotment of the Moscow Jaros law Railroad Company's 5 per cent. loan for 1,920,0001. were issued on Saturday evening by Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. Owing to the extent of the applicadons, both here and in Am sterdam, it is understood that only a very small percentage of the amount applied for has been allotted to each applicant. A review of the course of the stock markets during the last week presents few changes of special importance, owing to the absence of many of the leading operators, and to the general dulness of business usual at this season. The late,t prices of the English funds are the same as those of the week previous, the market being upheld by the plethora of money, and by the low rates at which stock can be taken up and held on borrowed money. There is likewise no change in the Indian government Five and Four per Cent. Stocks, the quotations of which have now attained a point that deters further investments of importance. As regards foreign stocks, the week a movements were uniformly favourable, except in a few in stances, such as Italian, Mexican, Spanish Bonds of 1867, and Turkish Five per Cents., in all of which a fractional reduction is observable. Other wise the advance in this department is nearly general, and is especially noticeable in Brazilian, Egyptian, Peruvian, New Grena dian, Honduras, and some of the Turkish and Russian loans. At a loss for suitable channels in which to employ their surplus money, the public continue to find a great temptation in foreign stocks of the better class, on account of the com paratively high rates of interest yielded by them. American securities scarcely did more last week than maintain previous quotations, but attention may be called to the increased disposi tion manifested by many European holders of 5-20 Bonds to relieve themselves at once and for ever from the prevailing uncertainties respecting the mode of redemption of their capital by ex changing from these loans into the 10-40 Bonds, repayment of which in gold is expressly provided for by act of Congress. British railway stocks, in most instances, have advanced since Satur day week, the principal rise being in Great Northern (eepecially the "A " stock). Midland, and Lancashire and Yorkshire, but some lines have fallen, especially Caledonian, Metropolitan, and certain of the North Eastern stocks. It would appear that the public still invest but sparingly in the ordinary stocks of our railways, and that the impulse given last week to prices is attributable chiefly to repurchases by previous speculative sellers, who are unwilling to face the possible con sequences of a continuance of the more favourable traffic receipts lately shown by a number of the principal lines. A prominent feature of Stock Ex change business is the continued demand on the part of the investing public for all socuri ties of a really solid class, accompanied by an unusual neglect of stocks of in ferior rank. For example, the market is now practically bare of Indian Goventment and Gua ranteed Stocks and Debentured ; as well es of British Railway Debenture Stooks of the first class. The steady appreciation of these latter securities sufficiently marks the wane which rail way administrators ought to adopt. by converting their floating into funded debt. The only other feature that need be referred to here is the oornia native dullness of the market for Bank shares, con sequent upon the absence of movement in the discount market, and upon the stagnant condition of financial enterpriae generally. It is believed that the statement to be laid before the proprietors of tie Bank of England at their dividend court on Thursday next will ho unfavountble to the warped of any speedy revival in banking profits, it being estimated that the dividend to he proposed 1 I Atmospherical us less at all our stations thee they Were rezterdaY.The clang* hem been about one-tenth of am inch, but readings on the Vila eoot of France are glints higher. The geated premises are in Beollaad ; there is a difference of nearly half an inch between those at Nairn and Biarritz. Teen rfrauhas diminished since Saturday, and is now re w. Strong easterly winds prevailed yesterday on our rasa, whilst a fresh easterly wind was general. It as still fresh in the South of England, but moderate elsewhere. The weather is cloudy or overeat. The sea is disturbed in the English Channel. On Saturday afternoon as grand review of the regular troops and volunteers of Lancashire was held at Heaton Park, by Major-General Sir John Garvock, R.C.8., commander-in-chief of the northern district. The force on the ground mustered over 6,000 men, in cluding about 1,000 regulars; and the number of spec tators was estimated at from 15,000 to 20,000, who paid sixpence each for admission to the park. FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT IN MORECAMBE BAY.— On Saturday morning Mr. John Sumner, a retired ship's captain, and Mr. W. Boaden, schoolmaster, both of Bar row.in-Furness, went out in a small boat to fish near Peel Island, in Morecambe Bay. As they were returning to lid pier, a sudden gust of wind caught the sails, which had for convenience been tied, and the boat capsized. Captain Sumner was unable to swim, so Mr. Boaden, who is an expert swimmer, supported him until the crew of a pleasure yacht came to their assistance. When brought to chore, Mrßoaden soon recovered, but his companion. who was an * aged man, only breathed a few minutes, and then expired. A doctor was quickly procured, bet his efforts to restore animation were unsueoessfuL TUE TIMES AND TILE AMERICAN WAR.—If an impartial American were to put the case temperately against us, he would probably compress it into the asser tion that a kindred and friendly nation, engaged in a struggle for the preservation of its sovereign extieenme and the fulfilment of its highest destinies, deserved at least active synikathy at our hands. He would urge that the Cajon and its institution+ promised infinite advantages to the human race, and that a Confederacy founded on slavery ought to have been at ones condemned. He might further sal that the Republican party, as represented in the Northern States, hail always been well-deposed to Eng land, and that the occasional provocations of which we complained had proceeded from those very Southern men who had formerly monopolised political power and then betaken themselves to rebellion. These arguments, we now frankly admit, might all have been substantially sus tained, arid it is also clear ? without our confession, that we were mistaken in doubting tiao power or iwraisteace of the North in the prosecution of the war, and in anticipat ing the ultimate success of the Smith through the wean new or dissensious of its adversaries. To these acknow ledgments the Americium are welcome ; hut as they, like ourselves, a ill have the advantage of time and reffeetioa in a seeder retrospect, they . will, perhaps, discover soma admisaious to be made in their turn.— nines.

The programme oontemplated is summarised as follows, via.:— " To provide a place of meeting for all pentlemea connected with the colonies and British India, and others taking an interest in colonial and Indian affairs ; to establish a reading-room and a library, in which recent and authentic intelli,genoe upon colonial subjects may be constantly available, and a museum for the collection and exhibition of colonial productions ; to facilitate interchange of experiences amongst persons representing all the dependencire of (heat Britain ; to afford oppor tunities for the reading of papers, and for holding discussions upon oolouial subjects generallr ; and to undertake scientific, literary, and statistical in vestigations in oonnexion with the British empire." It is promised that tho society shall be kept strictly aloof from political or party movements. Many influential names are to be fund in the lists of vice-presidents and of members of the council. Subecriptions are tieing invited from gentlemen who propos e to become members of the Lom bard Mx sage and News Room"—a project the formation of which has been formally autho rimed at a recent meeting of the City Offices Com pany (Limited). A portion of the ground floor of this oompany's magnificent new building in Lombard-street is to be converted into a central establishment and place of meeting for the transaction of commercial business. The room is to be amply supplied with newspapers, telegrams, prices current, shipping lists, Customs bills of entry, directories, and other books of reference, a refreshment room, and other conveniences. Tim subscription is to be three guineas per annum. The facilities afforded by an establishment of this character will doubtless be highly appreciated.
