Thin forenoon Mr. William Payne, the City coroner, held an inquiry at Newgate Prison respecting the death of a Frenchman named Louis Victor de Londe*, aged 28 years. Mr. E. J. Jonas, governor of Newgate, said that the de ceased bad been convicted at the last sessions of the Cen tral Criminal Court of burglary, and he had been sentenced to five years' penal servitude. He had been a clerk, and was • native of Parts. He declined to write to his friends, and he pleaded guilty at his trial. Finding that the deceased was ill, witness wrote to the French consul, and he com municated with his friends, who called after his death. They did not attend the iaqueet because they said they did not know what good they could do. Witness sent for a catholic clergyman, who attended him every day. When a French gentleman saw the deceased in the infirmary he said to him, " You ought to be very thankful for all this kindness. You know you would not be treated thus in your own country." The deceased had run away from his family and friends, and fallen into great poverty in England. His aunt and the French con sul stated that fact. The deceased bad broken into a gentleman's house at Greenwich. Dr. Roland Gibson. prison surgeon, said that the de canard had only left Pane three weeks when he enmmitted the burglary. He said, " I have not a friend in England." He had been a commercial traveller. He died on Saturday from pulmonary consumption, rapidly brought on. The Coroner having aundneil up, the jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased Frenchman died in Newgate from natural causes." ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER OF A YOUNG WOMAN THROUGH JEALOUSY. An inquiry was held by Mr. John Humphreys, the Middlesex coroner, last night, at the London Hospital , respecting the death of Mary Anne Jeffreys, aged 25 years who was alleged to have lost her life in consequence 01 injuries inflicted upon her in the public street by a man named John Bennett. The accused, John Bennett, having been sworn, deposed —The deceased young woman was my sweetheart. I kept company with her, and she lived at No. t 2, Swan-street. Bethnal-green. She bad been a worker at a cotton fac tory, and she went by the name of Mary Bell because it was prettier than her own. She lived with me occasionally as my wife. I was jealous of her, and on Thursday, the 6th of last month, I had three sharp word. with her at the corner of Swan-street. I thought she was going to see another young man, and I told her to go home, but she aid she would not, and I gave her an open-handed smack in the face, and the pavement being slippery she fell. She tot no injury, but when she was picked up she could not stand. I can't explain why she could not stand. I did not do it wilfully for the purpose of killing her, as I was much attached to her. I loved her,and I was goaded to do it through jealousy. I thought when she was leaving one she was going to see another. I and another young man raised her off the ground and she was lifted into a cab and taken to the hospital. I went every day to see her in the hospital, and brought her tea and other things. Edward Dunn, 29, Swan-street, said that he saw the blow struck. It was given with the open hand. The de ceased slipped, and fell veiny heavily upon the ground. Witness did nut think that the blow was wilfully and mali ciously struck fur the purpose of injuring the young woman. It was stated that the accused was sorry for the occur rence after he discovered that the deceased was seriously injured, and he was frequently seen crying while at the hospital. Mr. Richard Leigh, house-surgeon, said that the de ceased died on Friday last. Her death resulted from disease of the kidneys, but it was accelerated by the fall. The Coroner add it was evident that the accused was not actuated by any malicious motive when he struck the deceased. He did not desire to injure her, but the blow given had been the cause of the fatal fall, and it was for the jury to say whether they would hold him criminally responsible for her death. The law held that if a man committed a wrong act, although at the time of committing the wrong act he had no intention of causing the death or injury of another, yet if a fatal result followed, the wrong doer was guilty of manslaughter. The jury, after a abort deliberation, returned a verdict "That the deceased woman died from the mortal effects of injuries received through a fall in the public street, and the jurors further say that said fall was caused by John Bennett, and that her death arose from mis adventuve."

The second Sandovrn Estate is so eligibly situated— adjoining the first property acquired by the society in the Isle of 11 ight, every plot on which has been sold—that there is every reason to expect a prompt realisation, now that building operations at San down, which had been suspended owing to the dearness of money, have been resumel The Ramsgate allotment took place after a public meeting in the town, at which Colonel Brownlow Knox. M.P., the Hon. and Rev. W. C. Talbot, and Newnham Winatanley, Esq., members of the execu tire committee, attended as a deputation to explain the society's system.

On the 7th of Sep tember the Conservative Land Society completed its fourteenthyser, and the executive oommittee have entered on theie fifteenth year with fall confidence as to the eon ' anuance of the prosperity which has hitherto attended 1 its operations even in the most trying times." FATAL ACCIDENT TO A GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY CLERK. Mr. Humphreys held an inquest last night at the London Hospital touching the death of John Webb Snow, aged it years. Mr. IL Snow, No. 11, Stafford•road, North Bow, said that the deceased was a clerk at the Stratford station of the Great Eastern Railway. Witness knew nothing of the occurrence which led to big death. _ John Elnor, goods guard and shunter at the Stratford railway station, said that at 7 o'clock on last Wednesday evening he found the deceased lying underneath a truck in the goods yard of the station. He had wanted to cross the line, and in order to save time he got underneath one of the trucks instead of going round the proper way. When he was under the truck a goods engine and some tracks were shunted up against the truck underneath one of which the deceased was, and they being moved one of the wheels went over the deepened 's thigh. He then called out, "My leg is broken. It is my own fault." The engine was stopped, and the deceased was taken from underneath the truck and removed to the hospital. Mr. It. Leigh. house-surgeon, said that the deceased expired on Thursday last from a compound fracture of the thig The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."

The ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of this oompsay was held at the London Tavern this day ; Mr. J. W. L. MacnzaN in the chair. In their report the directors regret that owing to the great depresaon in the general tradeof the colonies, and a serious decrease of population, they are unable to present to the- shareholders the favourable statements from these branches that have hitherto been submitted. The directors have at the same time to report a consider able amount of bad debts, but for which they have they believe now made ample provision from the reserve fund. On the other hand, the directors have pleasure in report big that success has attended the working of the branches at San Francisco and Portland, and they feel still every confidence in these establishments fulfilling the anticipa tions hither .o held out. The directors have to report t ha t after pay brg all charges, deducting re ba te of rterest on bit's not due, the undivided profits amount to 1154 d. 14s. Id., which they recommend to be appropriate d as follows, v*.x. :—d,9401. in payment of a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum; 2,0001. to reserve fund—which fund after making deductions of 21,2001. for bad debts, will have a balance to its credit of 20,000/.—leaving the sum of 6041. 14s. Id. to be carried for ward to current half-year. The CRAIRILAN in moving the adoption of the report said they would no doubt expect some explanation of • new feature in the repo' t, the statement of losses from bad debts. The capital of the bank was in no way affected, and they bad a reserve fund of 20,0001. Since the com mencement of the bank they had made • total profit of 77,690/.14c 9d. in a period of three years andthreequarters. The board considered the losses referred to as quite excep- tional, and not one third of them would have been incurred but for the over confidence of the agent at Victoria whose sanguine temperament led him to expect that no loss could be incurred. The danger of for from this source no longer existed, the board having removed their manager at Victoria, where the losses were incurred. A Shareholder had forwarded to the board • number of queries, and in answer to them he would state that no communication of the loss from the bad debts was received by the board before the new shares were issued, nor until six weeks after the declaration of the divi dend in April last. The directors had ri,itten off the reserve 12,0001. to meet the less, and they held over 9,2001. to cover unascertained losses. . - In reply to questions from Mr. MORRIS, The CHAIRMAN said the amount of notes in circulation in Columbia was 24,762/. The company held 15,8001. in Bi:tish Colombian Debentures, healing 6 per cent. interest. They took them at what they cost them, namely, at par, but be did not th i nk they were marketable, but they were the first charge on the colony. The bad debts of the cam- !!, pany in the half year end'ng April were about 3,5001- r, Mr. MORELL complained of the large cost, 23,000 L, of Li co small en undertaking, and said the profits had never ai come out to what they were promised when they took shares. He thought the directors should give a detail of 81 the empenses. He complained that the directors were prac tically self-elected, and that one of them was 61 a director to half a dozen companies. He ai thought the reserve onght to be invest din consols, el and that the shareholders would do well to appoint a 81 committee. (Loud and general cries of " No, no.") A SHAREHOLDER asked if the directors took the salary 51 tt they were allowed by the charter-3,0001. The Out attatc—No. , Mr. WRIGHT urged the necessity of the reser v e fun d gi i being invested in consols. Mr. CONYBEARE said be was the shareholder who had SI sent the queries to which the Chairman had replied. While 84 ., he agreed in the opinion that it would be well that the re- r s i serve fund should be invested in oonsols, he jg did not think that the directors had done very wrong 81 in investing 15,0001. in Colombian State Bonds 61 He did not think that those bonds were absolutely uusale- 81 able or that the directors would be unable in case of R necessity to borrow money upon them. Besides, the large II amount of the interest receivable upon them would go 9( some way to compensate them for any loss they might 9 sustain. With regard to the dividend, he thought it 1 would be better to pass a self-denying ordinance, and not 1 declare any dividend this half year; this would strengthen the position of the bank. He suggested that if the repo' gave more information they would conciliate the confi dence of the shareholders. A SHAREHOLDER inquired what was the collective hold ing of the directors. Another SHAREHOLDER said he thought that the holding of the shares was not a sure test of the fitness of the rectors. Another SHAREHOLDER asked if it was intended to make a call The CHAIRMAN said in drawing the report they had i followed the usage of banks of that description, but they I were ready to give more details if that could be done with a due regard to the interests of the ci bank. The directors had received in fees 2,2001. g per annum. He did not know the amount of F. the holdings of the directors, but they tooktho full propor- H tion of the new shares and something more. If a call wore 11 made three months notice would be given, but at present 1 4 ( shey saw nu necessity fur a call. The motion for the adoption of the report was then put and unanimously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then moved that a dividend be declared of 6 per cent. Mr. Hoentscut seconded. He believed the position of the bank justified it. Mr. CONYBEARE moved as an amendment that no divi. dend he declared. M.T. TABOR seconded. (The meeting was proceeding when our report left.] THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY. (THIS DAL) The quarterly meeting wa.s held this day at the temporary offices, Surrey-street, Strand, Viscount RANI LAGH in the chair. Mr. GBCNEI'EN, the secretary, having read the adver tisement convening the meeting, the annexed report of the executive committee was submitted : " The executive committee are gratified in being enabled to lay before the shareholders the annexed returns of the four quarters of the financial year, which ended on the 30th of September, as also the grand total receipts to Michaelmas, IS6G.

The quotations of public securities are firm to day, in consequence of the extensive influx of gold to the Bank of England, and the downward tendency of the money market. There isa fair inquiry for the funds, which are again slightly better for _ . the account. Some of the Eng railway stocks •••• * SO - 90f " ston 3 I Id 4, xd - . - are also higher, but most other securities,includ ing foreign bonds and banking and financial shares, are almost entirely neglected. The demand for money to-day is moderate, and good three months' bills are discounted at to per cent. below the Bank minimum. Consols are now quoted 88i to for money, and 4 id 374 _dim - o', Ist I 1611 89} for the 9th inst. There is very little business in foreign stocks, and few variations have occurred in prices. Italian Bonds of 1861 are flat, and have declined t per cent. Mexican are also k worse. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 54 to 56 ; ditto, 1865, 311 to ; Greek, 15 to ; Spanish Passive, 22i to 231 ; ditto Certificates, 14k to 15k ; Italian of 1861, 56 to k ; and Mexican, 16j to teL United States 5-20 Bonds continue heavy, and show a fresh fall of per cent., viz., to 69i to j• Erie Railway shares, however, are again in re quest, and have experienced a further rise of per cent., being now quoted 44 to 50. Illinois Central are likewise better, at 771 to t. Anglo-American and Atlantic Telegraph shares are steady, at 16t to 17 and 511. to si t t, respectively. International Financial shares are quoted lk to lt dis. ; London Financial, 14 to 13 dis.; General Credit, 2to 11 dis. ; Credit Fonder, 3t to if dis. ; and National Discount, 8t to prem. With one exception, the Indian bills which arrived at maturity on Saturday, amounting to several millions sterling, have been remarkably well met. Bearing in mind the enormous losses in curred in this branch of trade for a long time past, this circumstance must be considered very satis factory. In the exceptional case referred to the liabilities are understood not to be large, the firm not having occupied a very high position. About 108,0001. in bar gold was sent into the Bank yesterday, in addition to 14,000 sovereigns from Lisbon. The Douro, from Brazil, has reached South ampton, with 43,4351. in specie. Advice' from Manchester announce the failure of two manufacturing firms—one at Burnley, and the other at Padiham, but the liabilities in each case are understood to be moderate. A meeting took place yesterday of shareholders of the English Joint Stock Bank (Limited), with a view to resuscitate the undertaking. Mr. Kemp and Mr. Chatteris, the liquidators, were present, but stated that, though they had attended in defe rence to the circular which had been issued, they did not intend to take any part in the discussion, as their statements would be prejudicial to the avowed objects of the meeting. It appeared from the explorations given—partly by Mr. Peter Broad, a member of the late committee of investi gation, and now one of the committee of super vision—that the bank is known to be absolutely deficient to the extent of the call of 4/. a share, which has been made by the liquidators, so that, were the company to be resuscitated, fresh capital would then have to be provided. The meeting, accordingly, arrived at the conclusion that, after the explanations afforded, it would be of no use to proceed further with the project. A general meeting of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company is called fur the 31st of October. and will be made special, to fill up a vacancy in the direction. An extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Bank of Queensland (Limited) is called for the Bth instant, " when the directors will subunit a statement of the affairs of the company, together with a resole thin for the winding up thereof voluntarily." It is proposed that Mr. H. Muir, the secretary of the company, Mr. C. F. Kemp, the accountant, and one of the directors shall be appointed voluntary liquidators. , The half-yearly meeting of the Demerara Rail way Company is called for the 19th inst., at the London Tavern.

A SPORTINC CHARACTER.—Racing gossip is not plentiful, but I ant surprised the spurting papers have omitted to notice the death of the well-known John I /limn, of Stockbridge, which took place on the St. Leger Day. He was a strange character, and will be recollected as having the celelaated trotter, Nonpareil, and winning some great trotting matches with her. He was at that time an sate e cheesemonger in Knightsbridge, and hail some animals in training with old John Day, whose daughter he married. lie ran second for the Oaks twice, 111. with Meal and Kathleen, and he owned B larne y when William Day rode Lire, and beat Frank Butler on William the Cutiquelor for a two-year-old stake at Ascot. He latterly lived at Stockbridge, les ting his house for the week to Lord Stamford for the races, and be was wont :o boast his lordship left behind him enough to keep ham and the family for a month. A_-• miser he had scarcely his equal in the county, and when lie stood such a lot of money against Cinema fur the Darby he nearly died of fright, for Cinema ' instead of being " the aafe'un" he deemed him, was only beaten a head for second by Sittinghourne in West Australian's year. He was titogether a strange being, and, as nothing can be said in his favour, I will conclude Try mention of him by stating that the week la for. the St. Leger Le sent for his lawyer to call upon him on the Monday in the followi adding that should die on the Wednesday. Of course, nobody be tiered him ; but on this occasion only he kept his word, for on that very day lie expired. This must be admitted to Le an instance of prescience of so/ rare occurrence.— " Argus" of the Post. a; TEN IthS EXT nAORDI NARY. —On Friday evening last a number of colliers near Cheeterfield, whose stock of the " indis . pen•ihle " was exhau s ted, and who were, as the saying "on the spree," ream ted to the following in genious expediei .to replenish their bottle. The leader of the gang first putting into the bottle (which contains a gallon) half a gallon of water, went to the Horns public. house, near Che.tertiehl, and called for half a gallon of gin, stating that they had already half a gallon in the bottle. The unsuspecting landlord immediately measured out the desired q uantum, but the men showing no incline .ion to pay s Le desired his gin to be returned —a request they complied with molt willingly, coolly walkinff to enjoy the half pllou of " gin and water " they had so cleverly obtained. FRIUHTFCL DEATH OF A HORAEBREA K EH. --A horsebreaker, named Pilgrim, died at his house in Hawk ridge-street, Nottingham, on Friday : from the elf.aua of a kick from a horse a few days previously. The deceased was breaking-in a young horse, the property of a farmer named Ellinor, at Colwick, near Nottingham, and while di:ving it in girths he gave it a sharp cut with the whip, when the animal, which was a spirited one, struck out with its hind legs, one of its hoofs striking the eye and forehead of Pilgrim. The blow was so violent that the bone was forced in, and a portion of the brain protruded. The poor fellow was iinine , lhitily conveyed home and medical assist ance procured, but without avail, as he died on Friday, after having endured intense agony. 14aaftisoes iN INDIA.—It is true that w. mien marry wily young in India, and that marriages are formed after ve.; short acquaintance and with very slight mutual knowledge of character. A morning call or two, a little, conversation at the band, a dinner-party, a ball, and the thing is dune. It is said, too, that what is irreverently called the " marriage market" in India is not supplied with produce of the best kind ; that at an early age girls are deprived of parental care, are imperfectly educated in England, under the supervision of strangers, and return, whilst yet in their teens, to the care of parents in India o f whom they know little or nothing. But this evil has been in recent years von much modified by the extension of it. im communication and by the more liberal character oa the furlou'li regulations. In old times a child was often sent to England, and ten or twelve years afterwards returned a grown woman to a father and a mother whom during all that time she had never seen. But, in these days it rarely happen , ' that a separation of this kitt.! ea • 'lures during mazy years. The separation is of another kind—the separation of husband and wife. And this is another of the deteriorating circumstances to which we have refereed. The domestic " scandals," of which. un happily, we have too nianv instances on the records of the divorce court, are mostly the growth of these meowed separations. The wife goes home to see her children or to recruit her health • and either on the voyage to England or daring her residence there may beesed to grievous temptation. This, doubtless, is a peculiarity of Indian life, though the mischief occurs out of India. There i s s omething, however, of the same kind in the country itselt. " Scandals" do arise, at the hill stations, where women temporarily separated from their hushands—" grass widows"—enjoy themselves in the invigorating mountain air whilst their hus bands are toiling on the plains. They are exposed to the Ba and seductions of idle men, who have nothing to do lotto make themselves agreeable to other* and to amuse themselves. It would be strange if there were not some shipwrecks of domestic happiness. But domestic happiness Is wrecked at times in all parts of the civilised world. We do not claim for Anglo-Indian society any immunity from those stains and blots which deface social life in Europe ; but we are disposed to the think East that, swab whole, the morality of our countrymen inie su stantially on a higher wale than in other paits of the world, where men are Leas wily found out.—ConiAßZ I Magazine for October. rd, :ilta4 abd g klard4 said d i ad b i I 0 a s . 1 4 I r 12060, kdrll up ShAllt 1p mkt* i witiok itteD44 PM as ukid di m with rik o • ►Nee w t . )11w Vi e arataid N uie pram., was oak ke win* w set hi Ithejf ars ter ` fmin w i • • I
