INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.) • This morning the investigation into the circum stances of the dreadful starvation of • family in WeMelees square, by which Mrs. Charlotte Crippin lost her life, as was alleged, by the cruelty or neglect either of her husband or the authorities of the Whitechapel Colima, was resumed. It will be recollected that the deceased and her family were removed from the Union in question to • house in Wellclose.square, where they were left for a fortnight in a state of frightful suffering, and there they were found literally dyimi from famine. George Crippiu misted that he was compelled by the workhouse people to act as he had done, under • threat of three months' imprisonment, although he made them aware that he had not a halfpenny to by them food. Mr. Eaves (relieving officer) was cow recalled, and said that Mrs. Crippio stated to the board of guardians that her husband was starving her, and they forthwith ordered him to be proceeded against, that was, that he should be brought up before a magistrate. Crippia, however, was never threatened with anything of the kind by witness, but said voluntarily that he would take out his wife and family, as he had work with which he could support them. He said he would furnish a home to take them to. --- George Crippin, recalled, adhered to his former statement and said that Mr. Eaves distinctly said to him, "If you don't remove your family by 4 o'clock on Monday, I shall certainly have you locked up." Witness was then ill and' had so work. Witness contrived to borrow 55., and paid for the room in Wellcloseaquare, into which he removed his family. Daniel Bradley said that he knew Crippin to be out of work for the last 12 months. Witness happened to be near Wilton's Music-hall, wbeo Mr. Eaves, the relieving officer, came and took Crippin aside and told him that if he did not take out his wife he should be locked up for three or sin months. Crippin told Elves that he had nothing to give them, and never said that he had a room or furniture. Mr. Chantrell, professor of gymnastics, said that one of Crippin 's sons was apprenticed to him, and that he knew nothing against the character of Crippin. He lent him 51. in May last on accouut of the great distress into which his family had fallen. Crippin was constantly trying to borrow money from witness for the support of his family. Crippin 's son was with witness since he was three years of age, and witness would not have to pay him anything. He would stop with witness till he was 20 years of age, being fed, clothed, and taught. He performed at Leicester - square and the Philharmonic, and elsewhere, and was very useful in deed. Witness lent the 51. to Crippin to induce him to leave his sou longer with him. A former landlady of Cripple said that he was very kind to his wife and family, and did everything in his power for them. Mr. T. Brnabileld, chairman to the board of guardians. produced the book of entries, in which was the item against Mrs. Crippio's n►me, " Remain —husband to be pro• ceeded against." The Coroner—Did you, before caking that order, in- quire from Mrs. Cripple whether her husband was iu em ployment, or in a condition to support his family? Witness said not, and that such an inquiry was ne►er made, as when the husband was brought before the magis trate he could make out his case, with which his wife would not be acquainted. The Coroner said that such an inquiry could easily be made, and it could not be known whether the wife knew anything about her husband's circumstances or not until the question was asked. The Coroner Wen read over the depositions, nod said that it was clear that the deceased and her family, being in extreme starvation, presented herself at the uoion-honae, and to obtain admission represented her husband aa starving her. Without the most ordinary inquiry as to whether he was doing so from neglect or through necessity, the board of guardians ordered Crippin to be proceeded against. Mr. Eaves, the relieving °fiber, went to Crippin and, under • threat of three months' imprisonment, compelled him to re move his family. They were placed in • room and there had to uoderno such dreadful starvation that deceased died of the effects, and they would have all perished had not their groans attracted the attention of the neighbours. Mr. Eaves certainly denied that he used any threat, but Crippin's statement was the more probable. The workhouse authorities seemed to him to be much to blame in the matter in not having made proper inquiries into the means of a man who, it turned out, was without any employ ment, and was under treatment at an hospital for rheu matic gout, and therefore could not possibly support his unfortunate family. The jury returned the following special verdict :—" That deceased expired from the effects of inflammation of the stomach, accelerated by the want of the common necessiuivis of life ; and the jury unanimously censure the eouduct of Mr. Eaves, the assistant relieving racer of the Whiteclumel Union, in the matter, and consider that he did not perform his duty ; and the jury further desire to recommend that in future the board of guardians should make due inquiries as to bow inmates of the union are likely to be taken care of outside the house, before ordering their removal from it." The inquiry, which was very protracted, then terminated. 100 100 100 100 100 ISO awl 10.000' 11,504 Mite MN IMAM MU* MOM %Oft li,sse Woo its.aeo io,ooo 10,000 10,0% Kon Woo 14eee Ick., 20,600 THE GLAEGOW MURDER. —Tile excitement in 119.••• Glasgow on the subject of the Sandyford-place reorder is 6441 " still on the looms& It has been remarked by a gentle man who had had some opportunity of estimating the pre- Kam railing feeling, that not all the military and police in Gk.- 16.11,111 gow, or even ia Scotland, would, in the present temper of 25,000 the populace, be able to carry the sentence into effect. ri= Another informant states that everywhere pele were 4 ,•;; : signing the petitions for • respite, in the public buildings, 10,060 in the shops, and oil the streets.—Erasing Courant. 6,,002 SHARE LISTS--(THIS DAY.)

This day the ordinary half-yearly general meet ing of proprietor was held at the Loudon Tavern, Mr. BORRADAIL R IR the chair. The report stated, "that in addition to the 21 miles opened on the 13th of February, 10 miles—u far as Stellenboach— were opened for public use on the 4th of May. Since the opening, to the 30th of June, 35,874 passengers and 2,907 tons of goods had been conveyed over the line. During the mouth of June the traffic was temporarily affected by the unusually heavy rains which prevented pruners and goods from reaching the country stations, and also impeded the progress of the works os I the unfinished portion of the line. The section to Stoll*. bosch was complete, and nine-tenths of the remaining earth works had been constructed. A further portion of the line to Rlapraute,9 miles in length, was shortly expected to le opened. The construction of railways to filalmeabury and Worcester, forming junctions with the present line, were proposed by the executive government. The railway committee of the• Housed Assembly, to which they Wife referred, rouse mend that these lines should be carried out by constructing a loop line about fifteen miles in Werth, from Belleville to Mullets Vley, on the company's pre sent railway, from the centre of which, at Kraaifontein, the line to kfalmesbary would branch off. By this proposal, the distance to Worcester through Wellington would be reduced by 20 miles. The branch to Malmesbory from Kruifontein would be about 32 miles long, and the extension to Worcester, mid Tulbegh, about 65 miles in length. Surveys these proposed lines were now being made un der the superintendence of Mr. Brounger, the company's resident engineer —the latter being carried out at the expense of the shareholders in the Worcester @Umiak°. The short branch at Cape Town into the Morning Market was sanctioned by the government under the anal guarantee, and is in course of construction. The goods traffic would be materially augmented by this extension. The *Outten line, originally proposed by the board, from the Salt River station to Wynberg, by way of Mowbray, ltondebosch, and Claremont. was being constructed by the Wynberg company, to whose directors the board made proposals for working the traffic subject to the approval of the terms by the colonial government. The capital hitherto raised on construction account amounted to 526,6631., consisting of 25,000 shares of 201. each, which were nearly all converted into stack, and debentures to the extent of 26.600/., authorised to be issued h 7 the meeting of 19th March last. There was also raised 20,000/. on account of working expenses, as sanctioned by the last general meeting. Of this capital it would be seen that 508,768/. 30. 11d. was expended on construction account. This amount included adverse., for interest and manage mentexpenses,to be recovered hereafter. The sum of 16,6891. 12s. 3d. was also expended on working account. From the revised estimate of Mr. Brounger, it appeared that the sum of about 50,0304 would be required to corn- Iplete the line from the Ist of Jana. In order, therefore, to meet this outlay, sod to provide the necessary advances I oo account of interest W be eventually repaid, partly by the government and partly by the contractor, it was proposed to take authority to tame the sum of 53,000 i. As a great portion of this sum was only to be temporarily advanced, it was proposed to raise the whole by debentures at short dates, so as to admit of its being paid off at as early period. The gua rantee enjoyed by this company being in the form of • rate io aid of profits, to an amount not exceeding 30,030/. a year, a return of only 6,0001. a year over expenses was re quired to pay 64 per cent. interest on 600,0001., to which amount the capital would be temporarily extended, until the accounts with the government and the °actuator were arranged." The CRAIRM•N moved the adoption of the report, which was adopted, as were also resolutions carrying out the pro posals it contained. SHOCKING AFFAIR AT KIRKHAM. 106 i i--- - 104 In i .... "1 - 5 1 27 1 1 34 ni i rek A dreadful affair occurred at Kirkham, near Preston, on Sunday night. It appears that a party of Irish harvest men went to the Swan Inn, where they had some thing to think. About 11 o'clock they became very noisy, and the landlord, Mr. Henry Itawcl;ffe, expressed his desire to clear the house. He asked the men to go, but they refused. He then seized one of them, named Garrety, who seemed to be the worst, and got him into the lobby, but was unable to eject him. Subsequently he went to the door, sod gave au alarm with • dog whistle. This brought a policeman named Fletcher to his assistance, who tried to get the men away, but he could not do so. The officer then went out and whistled, and Sergeant Lofthouse came up, and Carroty was apprehended. The other Mailmen then turned out of the house. A man named James Cain, his wife, and Patrick Cale ' their nephew, tried, but iceffectually, to rescue Garrety, who was taken to the lock-up. The three Caine then ran away, but weie pursued by the police. Whilst the officers were thus eogrged, they were informed that Rai/cliff', the landlord, had been killed. They then went to the Swan, where they found Rawlins almost dead, and attended by two Burgeons. It appears that after the officers had left, the door of the Swan Inn was immediately closed, and Rawcliffe and bis eldest daughter, a girl 11 years of age, went into an upper room, with • view to see what was going on in the street. At that time the crowd in front of the door bad gone away, and Rawcliffe was about leaving the window. Hie daughter bad gone just be l f= but she had not proceeded very far before she • great crash, and, on looking round, observed her father with his heed near the window. She went up to him, when, to her horror, she found that a poker had been driven into his eye. It had been burled at him from the street. She did her utmost to extract the poker, bat her effort, were ineffectual. She immediately raised an alarm, and several neighbour came io. Rowell& was found lying on a chair near the wiedow, bleeding profusely, and with the poker still protruding_ from his right eye. A man named Smith tried to pull out the poker, but for some time his efforts proved unavailing. At length he placed the unfortunate man's head be twee his knees, and even then it required all his forge to extract the poker. Of course Baseline was quite I insensible. Two medical men were sent for ; but Rawcliffe died an hour afterwards. The poker had entered trader the lower lid of tire eye, and had thence passed into the brain. Yesterday, Garrety and the three Caine were brought before the Kirkham magistrate.. Garrety was committed for two months for assaulting the police, and the others were remanded until Thursday. Yesterday, the inquest was opened, and after some formal evidence bad been prim, the inquiry was adjourned until Monday nett. At prevent nothing definite is known as to who threw the poker at deosaaed. A correepoedent writes that after the hearing of the ease at the Police Court, the landlady of the (biles vo luoteered a statement to the effect that on Sunday night James Clio ran into her house and seized a poker, se• Mg that he would have somebody's life, or some eon dis should have his, that night; and that he took the poker out with him a few mantles Wore the landlord was skeet. 6sl 4 S6l Consols are now quoted 931 to for money, and 931 for the account.

The foreign stock market is active to-day, but the variations in prices are not very important. Turkish Consolid6s are inquired for, and have advanced per cent., being now quoted 381 to 1. The external stocks are without change, the Loan of 1854 being quoted 851 to 861 ; that of 1858, 68/ to 1 ; and the scrip of 1862, to 3 dia.

The improved tone of the Bourse in Paris, taken in conjunction with the sustained advance in the Italian Five per Cents., and the rise in the Vienna exchange, has been the subject of some remark. It is suggested that the firmness of prices points to the maintenance of the status quo in Italy. There are objectors to this interpretation who attri bute the movement to an understanding between the Emperor of the French and the cabinet at Turin on the prompt solution of the Roman ques tion. Looking to the excessively unsettled state of affairs in the south of Italy, and the disaffection in Sicily, which it is impossible to conceal, there is reason to consider the former view as the more correct. If, however, we take into ac count the long inert state of the Paris speculators, and the low price of Rental as compared with the value of money, it is, after all, very possible that the rise is simply prompted by circumstances some what more favourable than those of our own money market, inasmuch as the harvest in France has been good ; and, although there is a large amount of capital unemployed upon the market, in conse quence of the contraction of the trade with Ame rica, the interests of France are, relatively with the mass of the population, less involved than are our own in the present crisis ; and hence there is more room for a rise in the French funds. The Italian Loan, being very extensively held in Paris, would benefit from an advance in Bente; and the Aus trian exchange is nearly always susceptible of in fluence from the joint action of French and Italian stocks. There was a fair demand for money yesterday at 1 per cent. The inquiries at the Bank of England were upon a moderate scale. About 70,0001. in gold was taken to the Bank yesterday. The steamer Tasmanian, from the Wert Indies, has brought 433,5001., viz., 293,5001 . in silver, and 140,0001. in gold. The amount of specie by the Asia, from Boston, is 5,0001. The Tyne hag reached Lisbon from Brazil with 28,2911. The Mexican dollars by the Seine, from the West Indies, have been sold for China, at ss. nd. per oz., being Id. above the price obtained for the pre vious supply, but the same as that current in the interval. Telegrams received in anticipation of the Brazil mail announce the stoppage at Rio of Messrs. Feria Brother and Co., merchants and bankers, owing, it is stated, to the failure of Meagre. Rostron and Co., of Manchester. The house is highly re spectable, and tke liabilities are understood to be very considerable. The South Eastern Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 5,2011., and the London, Brighton, and South Coast an increase of 5,2281. The Committee of the Stock Exchange has this day appointed Thursday, the 2nd of October, a ape. cial settling day in the shares of the United King dom Shipowning Company (Limited), which, how ever, are not to be marked in the official lists. The arrival of a large number of ships, princi pally from eastern ports, was announced yesterday, in addition to a long list on Saturday. The dock companies, which of late have been rather slack, will consequently have plenty of business during the next few weeks. MONDAY Erzirnto. Consols, which closed on Saturday at 9 . 3 g to for the Bth of October, opened this morning at 041 to 4, and so closed. For money the last price was also 931 to 4.

The preparations for the foreign account have been completed to-day, and there has been no great demand for money in connexion with the settling. For the 15th October operations have been mostly at unproved prices. Turkish Six per Casts. of 1862, and the scrip, have advanced more than any other foreign securities, owing to purchases made to curer speculative sales, as well as for bona fide investors. The Six per Cents. close 67 to 1, 1 and the scrip has recovered tot to 1 die. Turkish Consolidec have stood at about 38 throughout the day; and close 371 to 384. Mexican stock has been firmer, and closes 344 to J. Italian Five per Cents. have also been inquired for at an advance of 4, 711 to 4. Venezuela stock has been influenced byepsculative purchases on the rumoured announce ment that news bad reached London of the ratifi cation of the loan. The closing price of the stock is 28th 29, and Of the scrip 21 to , The conversion of 60 per cent of the unpaid sala ries of offisials in Constantinople, is an item of addi tion to the issue of Consolidis which does not appear SMITHFIELD HAY MARXICT.—(THIS DAY.)

The recluse, who died in the month of Jane let, won an enthusiastic archeologist, and had for a long time been filling his chateau with artistic treasures of the good old time, so that his heirs, who expected to dad scarcely anything there but owls and bats, were surprised to discover a remarkable museum. Rumour declares that than were not lees than 7,000 paintings, bearing the names et good masters ; elan a noble collection of arms and armour ; a clock—quite a rh.rf louvre —of the time of Louis and a wonderful collection of chin. All that is, however, nothing, as there were also found 30 pieces of that famous service of earthenware known as that of Henry IL, and of which the few specimens, mole or legs entire, contained at the Louvre, the HOtel de Cluny, the lkuvagot Museum, and the collection of the Baron de Rothschild, have been par eliesttrl at their weight in bank-notes.
