Mr. Richards, deputy coroner, held an inquiry at the Duke's Head Tavern, Whitechapel-read, hurt even ing, relative to the death from want of Mary Matthews, aged 011 earL men natal:owe, • nesinewomsn, said that she was sister to the deceased, and she lived at 35, Gower's-walk, White s hspeh The doomed had town • domestic servant, but for the last three yeses she could get no situation, for people thought her too old. She lived with witness, whom she notated • little in coat making, but for the Lothar months she could not do anything. Witness earned alien 7.. eal. • week, out of which she had to pay 2s. rent. Deemed complained • great many times of want of t o ol, but witness could not do better than she did ; she bad hardly any for herself. Once deceased applied to the parish for relief, but they only gave her a shilling and a loaf of bread. They would do nothing more for her unlade she would go into the house, and she said she would sooner starve at home than do that. There was another sister, also single, living elsewhere, "but she is not Nowell off as I am,' said the unfortunate witness. Four months ago the de ceased got dropsy very bad, but she recovered. On Wed nesday evening last when witness returned home from work ohs found the deceased dead on the bed. Deceased never modes second application to the parish for help. mot. O. Baxter Phillips, surgeon, mid that he was calked by • police-constable to see the deceased on last Wednes day night. lie found her quite dead, and she must have been dead many hours. Her clothes, such as they were, were on. The post mortem examination showed that there vii some partly digested food in the stomach, but it was ray evident that before that last meal she could have eaten hardly anything for two or three days. The body was nearly bloodless. Death was canoed by disease of the heart, induced and accelerated by want of food and other necessaries. The deputy eoroner in summing up said that it was de plorable that persons should prefer to di* of want rather than go into the workhouse, but the feeling of shame spoken of by the witness Mary Mathews was very preva lent in regard to the house, and instances of the sad re sults came before him almost weekly. The jury returned • verdict, " That the deceased was hand dead from the mortal effect of disease of the been accelerated by the want of the common necessaries el life."

Hills, comer for that borough, on the body of Mr. John Shap -17 King, assistant clerk on board the Fisgard, 42, at oolwich, who met with his death from injuries he sus tained by felling over the trenches at Chatham garrison, at a late hour on Saturday evening, under the circum stances already detailed in the Express.

It has now been determined to increase the reward to 1,1001., and this large reward ought to have the effect desired. 1,0001. is offered on the part of 'the town, and 1001 . by gove rnmen t ; an d the Secretary of State will advise her Majesty to grant a free pardon to any aoconlm not being the ac t ua l perpetrator of the deed, who will 'Se satisfactory information to the police. The d 'cal outrage continues to cause the greatest excitement in the town, and this excitement has been increased by two letters of a very threatening character having been re ceived by two masters. One of the employers to whom one of the letters was sent has lately introduced some file grinding machines, end as the men refuse, unless their wages are increased, to do the work which the machines cannot do, they a week or two ago left in a body ; and there can be no doubt that the letter has come from one of these. The other letter refers to an engine tenter, who seems to have given some offence to his fellows. The following is an extract from the letter which was sent to his master : " The blasted place of yours ought to be bled up. i should like to do it myself. i wish i had the chance and warn that devil of an engine tenter of yours."

A meeting of the shareholders was held at 1 o'clock at the London Tavern, Mr. Manse.[. M.P., in the chair, for the declaration of an interim dividend for the half-year ending 30th June last. The CHAtilltAN said the directors had already notified that they were prepared to recommend a dividend, but it would be r est ricted to 5 per emit. per annum. Since the last meeting the eastern trade had undergone fresh and serious viciadtudes, but from all that they could see the board were of opinion that things bad taken a decided turn for the better. The ruin which had overhung India had been realised, especi ally in Bombay, where, as he said on the last occa sion, • state of things had existed resembling that at the time of the South Sea Bubble. There was no reason to suppose that they would be great sufferers by the failure of the Asiatic Bank. Since the last meeting there had been three great bank failures —the Agra, the Commercial, and the Asiatic ; and a pretty clean sweep bad been made of financial companies. They held some securities of the Agra Bank, but he did not an ticipate any Ices. The profits of the half-year, after allow ing for bad debts, amounted to 60,001., being at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum—(cheers) -- and I the board felt fully justified in recommending a divi dend at the rate of 5 per cent. 20,0001. would be thus absorbed, and the balance was left to provide for bad debts incurred before and since. Considering the largeness of the business done, no Eastern bank had incurred a smaller Ices. The branches had all been en abled to meet their engagements, owing pertly to pru dent foresight, and partly, also, to good management. (Cheers.) They had now only three or four hulk ing competitors left, and though new ones might be started, be thought that would be some time after the ruin of so many old banks. As re garded the panic, he wee happy to say that not more than 5 per cent. of the shares-2,000 out of 40,000 —were transferred. He concluded by moving the declar ation of a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum, panels on the 24th instant. Mr. MACICAUGHTEIN seconded the resolution, which was adopted unanimously, and the meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and his colleagues. • SHAM LIEWB.-(nue Dan Ora o'CLocrg.

There is very little business in the Stock Ex change to-day, and the tone of the various depart ments is dull. A disposition is shown by the usual operators to await the result this afternoon of the 1 tenders for the government bills on India, as well as the meeting to-morrow of the bank directots, before entering into fresh transactions. It is believed that the applications for the bills will be far in excess of the total to be allotted, and that in this case,the demand for silver for the East will revive. It must be borne in mind, however, that over one million sterling hi gold is now on the way to this country, chiefly from Australia. Consols are in quired for, and have improved per cent. for money. The settlement having been completed. the purchasers of English railway stocks by recent " bear" speculators have ceased for the moment, and prices have consequently given way. Some of the foreign bonds are also lower. Banking and financial shares are still neglected. The demand for money to-day is very moderate, and the supply large. Some bills are kept back on the prospect of a reduction in the Bank rate to morrow to 4 per cent., but if the movement takes place it is probable that the charge in the general market will not be lower than at present, viz., 31 to 4 per cent. Consols are quoted 891 to 1 for money, and 891 to 1 for the account (Nov. 8). Foreign stocks are dull, but the move ment in the speculative descriptions is confined to a reduction of 1 per cent. in Turkish Bonds of 1865 and Mexican. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 55 to 56 ; ditto, 1865, 29 to 1 ; Greek, 131 to 14 ; Spanish Passive, 211 to 1 ; ditto Certificates, 131 to 141 ; Italian of 1861, 541 to 55 ; Mexican, 151 to 1. American securities show no change. 5-20 Bonds are quoted 68 to 1, ex div. ; Erie Railway shares, 481 to 491 ; and Illinois Central, 781 to 79. Anglo-American Telegraph shares are 2s. 6d. lower, at 151 to 1 ; and Atlantic Telegraph are flat, at 41 to 5. International Financial shares are quoted 11 to 11 die. ; London Financial, 161 to 151 dis. ; General Credit, 21 to 21 dig. ; Credit Foncier, 41 t o 43 die. ; National Viscount, 81 to 9 prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 161 to 17. At Paris this morning the Three per Cent. Renter opened at 68fr. 80c., showing no variation of importance. The Court of Directors of the Royal Mail Steam-packet Company have decided this day to recommend to the proprietors, at the meeting to be held on the Slat instant, a payment for the half-year ended 30th June last of 31. per share out of the ordinary profits, and a bonus of 21. per share from the Insurance Fund, both free of income tax.. It would seem that there is ground to anti cipate some improvement in foreign stocks as soon as a mitigation of the present undis criminating distrust shall have arisen. The pre , valence of a great war on the Continent, and uncertainty as to how far it might spread, formed undoubtedly good and valid reasons for avoiding foreign investments ; but, now that peace once more reigns, those securities which were depreciated by the war may naturally be expected to show a partial, if gradual, reaction. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have just issued the annexed prospectus of a Massachusetts state loan for 413,3001., in sterling Five per Cent. Bonds : Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. are ready to receive applications until 2 o'clock p.m. on Saturday, the 20th inst., for 413,3001., in bonds of 1001. each of the state of Massachusetts, bearing interest from let November, 1866, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, payable by half-yearly dividend warrants-on lit May and Ist November of each year. The principal is redeemable on lit May, 1894, and both principal and interest are domiciliated at the count ing-house of Mean. Baring Brothers and Co., and are also payable, free of charge, at the current rate of exchange in Amsterdam at the office of Messrs. Hope and Co. This amount of 413,3001. constitutes the remainder issued to the present time of the loan called the " Bounty Fund," crested in conformity with the act, of the state of Mar sachunetta of 1864 and 1865 for ten millions of dollars, except a sum of 1,420,000 doles, or about =1,300/., still reserved by the 'We authorities. The state of Massachu setts az;i g es from resources in its possession an accumulat ing sin fund of 3 per cent. per annum on the amount of the ' Bounty Fund," for the extinction of the 10,000,000 dole. loan on Ist May, 1894. The payments for the above-mentioned bonds are to be made as follows, via.:-15 per cent on let November, 1866 ; 15 per cent. on Bth January, 1867 ; 15 per cent. on sth February, 1167 ; 15 per cent. on 12th March, 18b7 . 17 per cent. on 16th April, 1867—total, 77 per cent. Subscribers may pay up the remaining instalments under discount at the rate of 5 per cent per annum.—Bishopagate-etreet, 15th October, 1866. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were firm.

The practices adopted by professional speculator . s for a fall, in order to depress the prices of securi ties, have for some time past been of a most varied character, and give evidence of a degree of inge nuity and perseverance which, in a better cause, would be highly laudable. Latterly they have hit upon the new system of going round amongst bankers and capitalists, asking large loans on cer tain railway securities, as though they were acting on behalf of the issuing companies. From the liberal and sometimes excessive character of the terms offered, the bankers are led to infer that the companies in question must be in a very straitened position, and accordingly they caution their customers to avoid altogether those securities. The result is that, as the con spirators in the matter take care to give the greatest possible publicity to every adverse point, instances have occurred in which bona fide holders have been induced to sacrifice their property with a view to escape apparently imminent disaster. In some cases pains have been taken to tart the genuine. ness of the transactions thus proffered, and it has been found that serious business is the last thing thought of by these plotters. The Metropolitan Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1,351/. over the corre sponding period of 1865, and the Glasgow and South Western an increase of 133 i. At a meeting of the shareholders of the General Estates Company (Limited) on Monday last, reso lutions were passed for the voluntary . winding-up of the undertaking under the supervision of the Court of Chancery, and appointing as liquidators the chairman of the board of directors and Mr. A. A. James, of the firm of Edwards, James, and Co., the accountants.

A new iron foundry has just been established at Poole, in Dorsetahire. - James Cooper has just died at Arreton, in the Isle of Wight, at the age of 87. He is the last of a family of patriarchs. His father did at the aga of 84, his mother at 86, two brothers at 89, one at 78, one at 74, and a sister at 72. SCENE IN LEICESTER-SQUARE.—The remarks and suggested " designs for Leicester-square statues" by our contemporary Peach have been followed by an attempt to render the leaden statue of George 11. additionally ludicrous. During the night some person or persons, it seems, entered the enclosure armed with a pot and brush, wish which the horse was covered with black spots—the entire head and tail being coated with the earns colour. On the bead of " his Ma jesty" was placed a huge hat—exuisher pattern—and the ears of the animal were envela in a kind of horn, the points being particularly pointed. At the side of the statue where the arm is missing a long spear or lance pole has been fixed to the leg of the royal equestrian, and in the place of the blade there is the head of a birch broom. The arms of his Majesty which surround the pedestal beneath have been painted red, whilst the initials " A.D.G." on either side have been brought out in bold relief. Altogether the figure has occesioued much amusement, and up to 2 o'clock. though the lookers-on were very numerous, the police did not offer the least Interference. Every now and then a number of boys would climb the railings and run across the square, and dance and sing in front of the statue with apparent delight. In the course of the morning an attempt was made to thrust a pipe into his Majesty's mouth but without effect. Since the removal of Wyld's Great Globe the miserable condition of the square and the statue has been the subject of great complaint, but the worst has now probably been reached. FATAL GUN Accimszsr.—On Mondays fatal gun accident occurred on Haworth-moor, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. That afternoon Mr. James Bairstow, head keeper to Mr. W. Ferrand, ex-M.P. for Devonport, was shooting driven grouse on the moor in question. He was joined by Mr. John Clayton, a keeper on a neighbouring moor pilled Hanbury, who carried a gun for Bairstow. Both Bairstow and Clayton were seated in one of the hiding-places, when a flock of grouse flew past. Bairdow fired both barrels, and then handed his gun to Clayton, who gave him another loaded gun as other grouse were flying past. Bairstow aimed at one of the birds and fired. On taking his gun from his shoulder he saw Clayton laid on the ground. He had evidently risen from his seat to watch the bird ; the shot had entered the back of his head, blown off the top of his skull, and killed him instantly. It is stated that Clayton had frequently been warned against raising his head when any person was in the act of firing, so that his unfortunate death may be fairly attributed to his own want of forethought. SLAVERY ON THE ZAMBESI. --The slave of a Portuguese commandant on the Zambesi was once seen by a companion of mine chained to • post in a deep hole, emaciated, and wounded on the back with repeated Hogging ; the most miserable object it is possible to conceive. My friend pleaded for him and he was re leaued. He had been guilty of the heinous crime of at tempting to run away. Some time afterwards he is out at work. His muter calls him; but being on the open bark and the wind against him, his name has to be called three times before be hears and answers with becoming alacrity. He is severely beaten with a heavy three thonged whip of buck-hide. The poor man, under the shame and pain of undeserved punishment, goes to • fellow-slave and complains, " I did nothing. I could not hear him calL My heart will be bitter • long time for this." The master is informed of his contumacy ; sum mons him, and with orthodox voice and manner asks, " Why did you say your heart was bitter because you were punished! Haven't I a right to whip you! Aren't you my slave? Is not your heart, and blood., and bone mine, to do anything I like with*" The slave, it appears, did not think so, as he soon after ran away with some others, who very fortunately for them were not retaken. The master himself told me the story of the flogging, and showed me the whip with the utmost sang-froid— yet he was not a Levee, nor had he ever read " Uncle Tom's Cabin."—The Argosy for October.
