This morning Mr. James Bird, coroner for Weet wows, rearmed, at the Plough Tavern, sa i n quiry relative to the death, from alleged hardship and eelsastion, of James Vernon Monger, aged 19 yeses, *se of the crew of the We4ern Star. Mr. E Home Colunaa appeared on the part of the Board of Trade ; and Mr. J. H. Lydell, 01 the firm of Sweating sa d Lydell, represented the family of the diseased. The ship Western Star arrived in the St. Ketharine's Docks on last Sunday week from the C.arystesa Elver, Dear g e ehice, ia the West Indies. AU the crew were in a deplorable state of exhaustion and suffering, and two of them, a German earned Shroudtr, and the youth Mum thee within • few hours after buag removed on /lora Monger stated to his father, when dying, that the ship bad been short of provisions on the voyage bus and that all hands had suffered is ousequeue. Xi.. Monger, a tradesman in beeriness at Notting-hill, waited or Mr. Paget, at the Thames Policossorui, about she matter, and made a statement that his son died from his sufferings os board the Western Star, and the magio State &deleted that the whole of the facts should be inves tigated before the coroner. The present inquest wee held to consequence. Captors Elijah Hutchings said that he wee master of the Western Star, and that he had not his witoesses present. One or two of them were ill. and could cot be examined. WU lam BoweU, Sailors' Home, Wall-street, said that he wee • seaman on board the brig Wasters Star from Septem ber until the 4th of this month. He west out in her to to Cannata** river, Berhice Ones the nearest onertorn-house to it. The voyage out °coupled seven weeks, and she arrived out in October. AU the crew were than healthy. The previsions were satisfactory on the voyage oak. the ship left Berbioe for England . on Christmas Eve. He did not know whether fresh positions were taken in at Bu lges. All the crew had hiss seised with fever a moot►k before leaving. They were attended by a factory doctor, who was of no peas amount. He attended nigglers and that sort only. Coroner—And whites too, I nipples Witnees—No, sir, for there us noes there. He told me I was stadag, and he told Shronder, who died since, the MM. Ido not know what kind of fever it was. I only knew lam suffering from it still. One of the crew was ill of the fever when we left the Caryateen. James Monger took sick shortly after and eentinned so nearly the whole voyage. I did not see say attention paid him. All the crew, Monger iecludecl, got Us same food. He sometimes could not eat what he got. This arms from hie illness. The provisions cionsisted el salt beef and rice, and salt beef and par. The rice was short le quantity, and it was the only thing we could eat. There was no flour on hued. We ootild only eat what was soft. The pea-soup was very poor hides& It was usual on board ship to get flour. Neither flour nor pork was served out in the Western Star. No lemon juice was served out, them was none. While I was sick is myhtiok moms of the crew went aft and complained to the septets of the want of provisions. We did not get our fell allow ance of bread. We spoke • vessel on our way. We put late Hyde throe days before we reached London. When we had been there 20 hours I complained to the captain that the proviaions were not what we signed for, end bean in pert we ought to get better. On that day we had a few beans and salt beef, though we had been in port that length at time. He said we should get nothing else till we reached London. He went on shore and got some fresh provisions for himself, but nose for um. We had peas and salt beef, as canal, the next day. The last day we were on board, Saturday. we got elites fresh meat and vegetables. It was the usual quantity of fresh beef. We arrived on Sunday morning in dock. By the fary—tdonger was insensible at Hyde. No darts was sent for. He was very ill throughout the presage the crew were suffering more or lam When the fresh food was brught to the deceased be could not touch it. The voyage home was shorter than usual. Anything could have bees got from the vessel that was spoken with. She bore down aed asked did we require assistance, but the captain esoured " No.' By the Coroner—The ship had bad her foremast out away end that might have been seen from the strange vessel. The offer of " any assistance " might have bad reference to the state of the ship. But it would mean " provisions " as well. The ship could have put into Barbados', or to other ports for provisions. It was • common thing is get provi sions from another ship, even when it was necessary to 'Seal for such assistance. Ifr.Ooloman—flow many were ill on board when the vend spoke you ? Witness—All of as were ill. I think only three were below deck ; the zest had to stay up. A juror asked whether it would not be "negligence' on the part of the captain when he bad not provisions enough on bond sot to gal any from the strange vessel. The Cormier said that that would be a very nice question. !n law. Captain ThiSobinge asked the witness whether Shrouder was not in his bunk when the ship left Berbice, and was not made to get up by the crew. Witness—He was hoisted up. An altercation, which was stopped by the Corooer, than ensued between the captain sod th e witness, the latter stating that the loos of pork and flour 'was ruinous I. the crew, end that the captain could have get a whole cargo of those articles if be liked. The captain said that be had to sat the same salt beef and other food himself as the rest of the crew. _ . Three other seamen baviog been examined, testifying to their want of food and ill health, the mate was called by the captain. The mate said they were not on abort al owasee at any time, and that the deceased had all the attention the captain could give him. According to lb* medical evidence the c►nse of death was exhaustion through want of proper nourishment. This and medical attendaaoe at Ryde would in all probability have saved his life. . . . . —.— The jury returned a verdict "That the deceased died from the mortal effects of exhaustion from weet of proper nourishment," sod the jury added to theirverdict, "That the captain of tile Western Star did not show the deceased pro per atteatioa, sad that he was guilty of gross neglect." SUICIDE BY LEAPING PROM A EOUSE•TOP IN Till CITY. Mr. W. Payne, City coroner, held an inquiry at St. Bartholomew's Hospital !set night, relative to the death of lbs. Louisa Elisabeth Childs, who com mitted saki& by leaping from a house-top. Mrs. Louisa Hill said that the deceased washer daughter, and was the wife of Mr. Thomas Childs, machinist, car rying on business at No. 5, King-street, Smithfield. She was 34 years of age. Latterly she complained of pains in her heed, and was strange in her manner. Oa Friday &hereon she left the sitting-room on the first floor and ran upstairs. Witness, thinking something wee wrong, ran after her. She turned round and pushed witness down the stairs and ran away again. Witness's screams alarmed Mr. Childs, who rushed up and tried to overtake her. Witness maw no man. There was no domestic unhappiness ho account for the act, as the deceased end her husband had lived on the best of terms. Mr. Thomas Childs said that on Friday last be heard screams, and upon going to see what was the matter he saw his wife rushing up the stairs three steps at a time. He rushed after her entreating her to come back. She said nothing but ran past the third floor, gad into the attics. She slammed the attic door in his face, and in his agitation he could net pt it open again quickly. When he entered the mom he found that she had got out of the window, sod was in the act of jumping on to the coping stove. He tried to catch hold of her dress through the open window but just mined it, and she ran along the coping stone. He jumped out on the roof and ran as quick as be could after her. But before be could overtake her she bounded off the roof and fell into the street below. Henry Heresy, 12, Clarenoe-street, St. Luke's, said that he was coming down Long-lane, when he saw a woman and a man on the top of the high houses in King-street. The woman leapt out into the street ; her clothes rose in the air and she fell to the ground with fearful force. Witness said to a man in the street, " Good God, look at the woman falling from the house top !" bet he only laughed. Coroner—Do you know the name of that man ? The witness said that he did not, The deceased was car ried to the hospital in a cab. Dr. Them a Stone said that the decreased bad rewired a compound fracture of both thighs, both arms were broken shove the elbow, and her head and her foot were damaged. Strange to say she lived until Wednesday evesieg, when she died from the injuries. Before she expired she said, " I thought there was no harm in doing it." She was evidently in as unsound state of mind. The Coroner having summed up, The jury returned a verdict of " Suicide while in a state of temporary insanity."

Oxs o'Osom The stock markets are decidedly firm to-day, in consequence of the favourable character of the re turns of the Banks of England and Franoe, and the prospect of a large amount of gold being taken to the former establishment during the next few days. It is inferred, therefore, that the rate of discount will be reduced at an early date. The funds continue in demand, and show a fresh rise of i per oent. Some of the foreign stocks sad British railways are also better, as well as the shares of several of the financial and discount ooni- paniee. The demand for money to-day is moderate, but owing to the circumstance that a large amount of Indian and Australian paper falls due to-morrow, the lowest charge for discounts is still 7i to 8 per Lt. The rate for short loans in the Stock Ex change is 7 to 8 per cent. The changes in the Bank of France return are very satisfactory, and fully aooount for the reduc tion in the discount rate of that establishment. The coin and bullion have increased 600,0001• while the bills discounted have diminished to a lace extent. Consols are now quoted 87} to f for money, and 871 to 88 for the accouat (March 8). Foreign stocks are firm, with a good amount of business. Mexican bonds are in chief request, and have risen 1 per cent. Turkish of 1865, 1 13 Panish Ocrtdficiatss, and Brazilian and Egyp tian scrips have also improved }. The quotations are as follows :—(reek, 13} to 14 ; Mexican, 23} to ; Spanish Passive, 261 to 27} ; ditto Certificates, nt to 16 ; Turkish, 1865, 38} to f ; Brasilia snip, 2 to f prem. ; Egyptian scrip, 1 to 1 prem. ; and Italian, 1861, 60k to /. United States 5-20 bonds and Erie Railway shores are slightly firmer, at 68} to f and 521 to 53} respectively; but Illinois Central have declined t, viz. to 751 to it. The Sir John Lawrence has arrived from Sydney with 59,0001. in gold, and the Moravian, from Port Phillip, with 10,5001. International Financial shares are now quoted tot prem., ex div. ; General Credit, I to It prem., ex div. ; London Financial, to die., ex div. ; Imperial Mercantile, to It prem., ex div. ; Credit Fonder and Mobilier, St to prem. ; Overend, Gurney, and Company, 41 to prem. ; and Joint Stook Discount, 61 to 151 din. The shares of Charles Lafiltte and Co. are nominally quoted 3 to St prem., and Mont Cenis Railway 1 to n prem. The accounts of the Bank of England, as shown by the return published last evening, are deathly im proving, and though it has rather lost then gained gold upon yesterday's transactions, it may be useful to repeat that the bullion movement on the whole is as favourable as tart reported, and that a consider able amount of gold will probably be sent in during the next few days. The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed Tuesday, the 20th instant, a special settling day in the scrip of the Egyptian Government Railways Debenture Loan, which is to be marked in the official list. Only 8,0001. in bar gold was sent into the Bank yesterday, but a considerable amount is expected to be taken there to-day out of the recent arrivals, which are being refined. On the other hand, 20,000 sovereigns were withdrawn yesterday for Alexandria, but this is an exceptional operation. • The bar silver by the West India packet was sold yesterday at ss. Otd. per ounce, showing a decline of as much as id. compared with the rice ob tained for the previous supply, and of d. from that current on Wednesday. As al y men tioned, the depression of the market for this metal is caused by the falling off in the de mand for the East. The Mexican dollars by the Shannon, as well as those by the steamer La France, were also disposed of yesterday for refining at 4s. Aid per ounce, being d. below the rate realised for the last remittance. In the interval the quotation has been nominal, with little or no busi ness, there being no demand for China. The absent* of demand for Mexican dollars in this market is understood to arise partly from the cir cumstanoe that remittances of silver are now being constantly made from California to China on Eng . lish account. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway traffic, return shows this week an increase of 5,5201 over last year ; the Manchester, Sheffield, and Linooln shire an increase of 3,5121. ; the London, Chatham, and Dover, including the Metropolitan Extension and branches, an incresas of 1,6761. ; the Metro politan Extension an increase of 5001. ; the Kent Cloest an increase of 1901. ; the North Eastern an Increase of 6,0861. ; and the North British an in crease of 1,5011. The Contract Corporation have made a call of Si. per share, payable on the 14th of next month. Mr. W. S. Dixon, of the Govan Iron Works, Glas gow, and Mr. Isaac golly, of Enfield, have joined the board. The directors of the Oriental Commercial Bank (Limited) have issued the following repoi to be presented at the general meeting on the 220 d inst. It shows profits at the rate of 23 per own. per annum : The directors have much pleasure in reporting that the profits of the bank for the six mouths end's; 31st Decem ber last, after swami of all charges, salaries, remuneration to directors, kc., ore 19,6271. 13s. 2d., being equal to 23 per cent. per us= on the amount of paid up capital rookie; for dividend. The directors now declare an interim divi dend for the pest de months at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, clear of income tar, which will absorb 8,5001., having balance 11,1271. 13a. 24. to be carried forward, for appropriation at the end of the financial year io June serf. The above result of the six months' operations fur nishes sufficient proof of the increasing prosperity of the bank. The directors woold remind the shsraholdess that this result has been obtained without the eniatasee of the additional capital of 125,0001., shortly falling du from th e Fie/medal Corporation. This sum whoa received and em ployed in extesdieg the business of the bank must tend sUll further to imesolidate and s trengthen its position, as well as augmenttits future profits. An extraordinary general meeting of the Provin cial Banking Corporation (Limited) will be held on the 23rd instant, to confirm the resolutions passed on the sth instant for altering the articles of spec elation. The annual meeting of the North British and Mercantile Insurance Company is called for the sth of March, at Edinburgh. A general meeting of the Wallachian Petroleum Company (Limited) is called for the 26th instant. The annexed memorandum is from the Madras Railway Company : The traffic reeeipth oa the Beath-Wei file ON miles epee) emanated for the quarter ending the 31st December lass to 101,2 581 ., or 2061 . per mile, against 85,3011., or 1731. per mile, far the corresponding three months of the year before, the mileage remaining the same, On the North-Wart line the receipts for the quarter have bees 20.0141.. on 119 miles open, or 1681. pee rails, against 70911. on 79 miles open, or 901. per mile, for the same pe riod of the previous year.

The coin and bullion show also an increase of 239,1211., which is about 127,0001. in closes of the amount sent into the Bank from abroad during the week, the difference doubtless representing sovereigns returned from the internal circulation. These changes, especially considered in connexion with the reduction in the rate of discount at the Balk of France, point to an early decline in the value of money here.
