St. Clare Bedford held an inquest in the board-room of Mount-street workhouse, to investigate the circumstances relating to the suicide of • well-dressed man, unknown, who was seen to throw himself from the Serpentine-bridge into the water on Monday evening last. The body was iden tified by a brother, who said the deceased was I a gentleman's servant, and that his name was Arthur Taylor, 24 years of age. He was in service at 6, Han over-terrace, Regent-park. The brother saw him on the preview; Friday to his death, when he looked depredated, and said, " Well, I think I am getting like a woman." The brother advised him not to take strong medicine. A paper was found in one of deceased's drawers. It was undated, and as follows :—" At any time should anything bad come of me, it's my wish that all my things at 6, Hanover-ter race, should be delivered up to my mother, Mrs. Philip Taylor.- ARTHUR TAYLOR. " What shall I wish, then, that honour, fame, And earthly treasures may be thine — That history may enroll thy name And bear thee an immortal shrine? Not so ; but ma 'at thou rather coins To wealth and fame beyond the tomb." Evidence having been given showing that deceased had been thirteen mouths in Mr. Griflith's service, and that he went out at half-past three on Monday afternoon, George F. Perry said he saw the prisoner on the Ser pentine-bridge, walking composedly, as though taking an evening walk. He then saw him sitting on the parapet of the bridge. He next got over the parapet, and witness suddenly missed him. When on the water side of the parapet the deceased stopped, as though he was looking at something. Witness ran for the drags, but the gate wax closed. He then called for a boat, which was a very long time coming. Deceased hat's was floating. Witness saw the body taken out ; it had been in the water 20 minutes. Edward Davis, of 76, Denbighotreet, Pimlico, saw the park-keeper at one side of the bridge and a boat at the other, trying to get through, but the boat could not do so, owing to a chain being across the bridge. Witness told them as the boat could not get through he could dive, and accordingly stripped off his clothes and plunged in, but he had to make several dives before he could get hold of the deceased. He at length got his foot and brought him up ; the water was G or 7 feet deep. Other evidence having been taken, A verdict was returned of " Suicide by drowning, while in an unsound state of mind;" the jury adding that the conduct of Edward Davis ' in endeavouring to save the life of the deceased, was extremely praiseworthy. To relieve the distress consequent upon the war, half a dozen charitable societies have been lately founded at Berlin. Some will assist the hospital service in tending and healing the wounded ; others intend looking after the wives and children of the reserves called out ; and others will alleviate the wants of the widows and orphans, whose number will be legion before long. A special society will provide such refreshments for the soldiers as are not in cluded in the ordinary rations, but highly acceptable to the sorely tried mortal when fighting the battles of his country. A number of ladies, who it is to be hoped will continue their benevolent activity after the restoration of peace, are going to open eating-rooms for the poor, where dinners can be had at a much lower price than they could prepare them for at home. BANK CLERKS.—WO hear that as many ES 500 gentlemen in bank offices—for clerks in banks are for the most part gentlemen—have been thrown out of employ ment by the several recent bank failures. In addition to di' this extensive suffering and distress there is the loss the poor shareholders sustain, which in some cases is so severe that it amounts to absolute ruin.—Hcrepatii. THE FORTHCOMING ELECTION COMM ISSIONS.— (". Her Majesty having ordered commissions to issue, on the joint address of both Houses of Parliament, to make in quiry into corrupt practices at the late elections for Higate, Great Yarmouth, Lanmster, and Totnes, the proceedings will forthwith commence It is, however, understood in the legal profession that it will be only pro forma, the actual inquiries being postponed till after the assizes. COMING NORTHERN REVIEW IN YORK.—IN TENDED VISIT OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES. —An official intimation has within the last few days been received in York, to the effect that the Prince and Princess of Wales will be present at the approaching grand review at York of the North of England volunteers by the Duke of Cambridge. It has not yet been decided whether the review will take place on Friday the 10th or Saturday the 11th of August ; but this question will be settled next week at a meeting of volunteer commanding officers. At a former meeting held by them Saturday was agreed upon as being the only desirable day for the Lanca shire volunteers; but there seems to be some difficulty in carrying this out, not the least being that the railway au thorities are unable to accommodate such a number of vo lunteers as would be present on that day. The royal party, it may be added, have left the matter entirely in the hands of the volunteers.--Itaochester Guardian. xd THE COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT DrKINFIELD.— x d The number of widows and orphans left destitute through xd the loss of their bread-winners by this deplorable catastro phe has naturally aroused the sympathy of the benevolent, and Mr. J. B. Kynder, at the instance of several influential gentlemen, had intended to call a meeting to con sider the best means of rendering assistance to the poor people ; but Mr. Astley, with princely liberality, has ex pressed hie intention of taking the entire responsibility upon himself. Yesterday Mr. Little, the deputy chief constable, Hyde, caused a visit to be made, with a view to ascertain the exact condition of the families. About forty children have lost their fathers by the explosion, and , some eighteen women are left to mourn the loss of their . x j husbands. One of these unfortunate widows lost a child id within an hour after her husband was brought home dead. • Mr. Foulkes, the surgeon to the pit, states that all the men under his care are fast recovering, except Patrick 5CCue and Joseph Wild, who are in a dangerous iffate.— Manehester Guardian. DEATH FROM THE BITE OF A HORSE.—Ott Thurs day last Mr. T. Sworder held an inquest at ston the on the body Fox and Duck public-house, Thertield, near Roy , • of James Brand, of that place, who died under the follow. ing circumstances :—The deceased worked for Mr. Phillip, brewer and farmer, of Royston ; and on Tuesday, the sth instant, he was out with a van and two horses. In de scending a hill, the deceased took hold of one of the horses in order to guide it, when the animal seized his right arm and bit it with sufficient force to cause a com pound fracture. The horse wax an entire one, but was stated to be generally quiet. Medical assistance . was soon procured, and the fractured limb set, but th the d e inflamma tion extended beyond the injured part, and eceased expired on the 11th inst. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."—Hertford Mercury. A WALK OF 82,000 !Amts.—A wonderful old man, named Thomas Bertram, resides at the villa of m Haroe, in the North Riding. He has for 24 years been a woodman on Lord Feversham' s estate, and during the whole of that period has walked to and from his work, an average of ten miles per day, in addition to his full work as woodman. He still wields the axe, and continuee his double march (night and morning), and is somewhat proud of his nearing the distance of three times round the earth. —Yorkshire Gazette. 13 1 1Y; 11 I 16* 43 144 Oidisl Si n Wl* - 4 2 - 4 4.114 - 15 12 dl4 - 15 17 16} 1 IS 11 du - 1S 11 dis - 3 6 4 } Si 2.118 74 dls 23 25 8 lib - 1} °Kis - :83 86 10 8 dis - 10 6Ms 1 dlz - S 5 pm xd - l 0 !li lipm xd Ipm id 20 31 rd 63 66 64 1 44 46 45} 10 15 6 3 dls • 6 4diszd 13 • 02 00 15 17 6 4 10 8 die 10 BMs 4 2 dim le 8 41x 0 2 4 put 08 72 -- 40 43 43 ldis pm. - 1 dis 1 pm - 35 98 3 6 7 ] 7 6 die - 6 8 dis - Ms - 7 Gds - 89 83 db - 25 27 - 16 14 414 - 8 6 dim 44 46 VS 8 6 414 • 46 48 273 _ N USales. - _ 79 84 96 97 06 100 93 06 90 36 06 se 866.

The Stock Exchange Committee met yesterday afternoon to re-consider the advisability of alter ing the present mode of dealing in bank shares, owing to strong representations which have been made to them on the subject. One proposal was that a resolution should be passed in favour of sales being effected for cash only, allowing the seller one week to deliver the certificates. The discussion was adjourned till Monday. Meanwhile the most ras cally devices are being resorted to by speculators for a fall, in order to frighten shareholders into realising. At the meeting yesterday of the Panama, New Zealand, and Australian Royal Mail Company, the directors' report was adopted. It showed a divi dend at the previous rate of 5 per cent. per annum free of income tax, forthe half-year, but announced that the distribution must be deferred fur three months, owing to the panic in the money market. The London and Provincial Marine Insurance Company have notified that interest for the half year ending June 30, at the ra ote of 1 per cent. per annum will be payable on and after the 9th July. The annexed circular has been issued with re ference to a proposed voluntary winding up of the Agra and Maatennan's Bank (Limited). 20, Austinfriars, London, June 12. Many of the principal creditors of this bank, anxious to avoid the delay and expense necessarily attendant on a winding up inj the Court of Chancery, have expressed a strung desire that its affairs should be liquidated volun tarily under the supervision of the court, and that Mr. Carman and Mr. Mildred should act as liquidators, we have, therefore, been instructed by the directors to inclose a form of assent for your signature to this course ; and, as it is most important that the general concurrence of the creditors be obtained without delay, to request you will return the assent to us, duly signed, in course of post. The directors have no doubt that under this mode of hyui dation a dividend will be declared much sooner than under a winding up in the Court of Chancery,. and they hope tha.., by certificates of indebtedness being issued at an early date, any unavoidable inconvenience and delay that may arise in the payment of the debts will be considerably lessened. With a view to your guidance we annex the following remarks from a very eminent authority (Mr. Thring), on the law and practice of joint stock companies—voL 2, p. 109—with regard to the advantages of this mode of liqui dation :—" A favourite argument advanced by the sup porters of a winding up by the court ; or, in other words, of a long Chancery suit as against a voluntary winding up, has hitherto been the inability of the voluntary liquidators to enforce calls, and do other acts necessary to the efficient winding up of a company. This section (alluding to the 138th) removes all ground for such an argument, as it enables the liquidators to call upon the court for aid when it is required in any particular transaction, without trans ferring to the court the whole conduct of the winding up." —We are, Lc., UPIONS, JOHNSON ' and Vino's. The half-yearly meeting of the Colonial Bank is convened for the 6th of July. A call of 1/. is to be paid by the 13th of July on the shares of the Indian Branch Railway Company (Limited). We are requested to state that Mr. Henry Waite, of the firm of Foster and Braithwaite, has joined the board of the City Offices Company.

The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1,3671. over last year. The Master of the Rolls has to-day appointed Mr. H. Thelkeld Edwards, of the firm of Edwards, James, and Co., official liquidator of the Greenwich Tannery Company (Limited).

The agent general for South Australia baa given notice that the dividend on the government bonds duo on the let July will be paid as usual at the South Australian Bank. FIUDAT Iv iis.

METROPOLITAN BOARD OP WORKS.—At the weekly meeting of the board, yesterday, Sir John Thwaites in the chair, the clerk read letters from vestry clerks, an nouncing the re-election of Mr. Collinson, Mr. lammin. Mr. lieven. Mr. Long. Mr. Thompson, Mr. Adams, and other members, whose terms of office had expired, and i the election of Mr. Turner, of Rotherbithe, in the place of Mr. Judkins. A letter was received from Mr. Price. in spector under the Cattle Plagne Act for the Tower Ham lets, stating that the committee found that a large number of cows bad lately been brought in to their district from places in the country. For instance, during the past month not less than sixty fresh cows had been added to the stocks of dairymen in Hackney alone. The cows that bad been affected with the plague during the Last week or ten days were all believed to he fresh animals from the country. The committee. looking to the freedom from cattle plague with which their district was favoured for some weeks, were disposed, to believe that the renewed outbreak was to be attributed to the facilities offered for the removal of cattle from the rural districts to the metropolis. It was ordered that a copy of this communication should be trans mitted to Cap..ain Harness, H. E., for consideration. THE ATLANTI4; TELEGRAPH CARLE. —The new Atlantic cable NriS completed yesterday, and it has been arranged that the Great Eastern, with this and the re mains of the old line on board, shall sail from Sheerness on Saturday. the 30th instant. Stopping for a time to coal at Beerhaven, she will reach Valenti& about the second week of .3 ly , and the shore end of the cable having been connected with the main line, the operation of laying will be commenced. The big ship will lay the new cable from the Irish coast to Trinity Bay, Newfoundland ; and, assuming this to be successfully d me, and telegraphic communication established, she will then steam back to the middle of the Atlantic. and attempt to pick up the cable lost o-erboard in July last. The 1,200 miles of cable now lying cn the bed of the Atlantic are to be con nected with the 1,100 miles left on board ; and, if all goes well, the ship is to retrace her course to Trinity Bay, and so complete a double line of union between the two con tinents. The r. , ./ cable differs from the ohl in only two particulars. The conductor, it will be remembered, is composed of sec-1 copper wires—six round one--each wire separately embedded in Chatterton's compound, and the whole surrounded by layers of guttis percha, so as to form •" core" half au inch thick ; this, again, is further protected by ten solid iron wires, each covered with five strands of Manilla yarn, the wires being laid spirally round the coro. In the old cable the yarn was tarred ; in the new it is left white. to decrease weight and facilitate the discovery of foreign substances, and the iron wires have been galvaui ed. This year 2,730 miles of cal.', will be shipped, to complete both lines, the length put on board last year being 2,300 miles.
