INQUEST.—{THIS DAY.) At half-past 12 o'clock to-day Mr. Wm. Carter, the Surrey coroner, held an inquiry at the Ship Tavern, Fore-street, Lambeth, respecting the above case. The Coroner said that the case was a very serious one, and it having been alleged that the deceased had been killed by his mother, he could not take any evidence tendered by the father of the child, for a man could not give evidence against his own wife. He would investigate the case with great cAre, and he would bent every witness except the husband. As the jury had already investigated two cases at great length, the Coroner gave them leave to retire for the pur pose of taking refreshment. . . . . . l'pon the re-assembling of the jury, at 1 o'clock this I , afternoon, the first witness called was Anne Jacobs, who said that she was the wife of ' bricklayer living at No. 26, Royal-street, Lambeth. The deceased was the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Belcher, who lived in lodgings at the same house. They Awed in a back room upstairs. On Tuesday last at half-past 5 o'clock Mr. Belcher came down stairs to witness room and said. "My wife has cut her throat and the child's too." Witness told him to call some one in, and Mr. Collard, a neighbour, and they went upstairs into Mrs. Belcher's room. She was lying on , the bed, in a very weak state, and her throat was cut. The baby was lying dead in the bed by her side. The child was dressed, and there was blood upon it. After hearing a good deal of evidence, The Coroner summed up. He said that be believed from the evidence that the mother had cut the child's throat before she had cut her own. If another person had at tacked her, the probability was that she would have called out. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against Elizabeth Belcher. SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF A DEAD CHILD IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE. INQUINT.—(THIS DAY.) An inquiry was held this morning by Mr. Carter, the Surrey coroner, respecting the discovery of the dead body of a male child in a railway carriage at the Waterloo railway-station. Police-constable Reathenkay said that he was a con stable in the employ of the South Western Railway Company, and last Tuesday, when the 5.50 p.m. down train to Windsor was leaving the sta tion, three gentlemen in • second-class carriage called him and said that they had found • parcel underneath one of the sesta. It contained the body of a male child. It was a brown paper parcel, and it was tied with string. The police had made every inquiry in order to ascertain who had left the parcel in the car riage, but they bad discovered noshing. The child was dressed in • white cotton night dress, and a piece of flounce was wrapped round it. A juror said that it was rather a mysterious affair. The Coroner said that he was sorry to say that be had • number of such cases. Only the other day he had • case in which a dead child was found in the l►dies' waiting room at • railway station. Mr. Ball, surgeon, proved that the deceased child was eight days old. Is was a fine baby, and to live eight days it must of course have breathed. The post mortem examination of the body found that the lungs% were gorged with blood. Witness believed that the child had been dead from eight to nine days. The lips were blue, and the lungs were congested. The lungs might have become congested front suffocation. The congestion of the lungs might have arisen if the child had been smothered by bed clothes. The child was remarkably fat and well developed. The child's lungs might have become congested from natural causes. V. itnesa could not say positively what had caused the child's death. The Coroner said that the parcel in which the child was found was a very large one, and he had had the space between the seat and the Moor in a second-clau railway carnage measured in order to see if the child could have been fitted into the space. and he had found that it would. A railway porter proved that he cleaned out the train in which the child was found when it left Clapham June aTl that the child was not then in it. The Coroner having summed up, tbe jury returned an open verdict, " That the deceased child was found dead in a railway carriage, but how he came by his death there was not sufficient evidence to show."

A Vienna letter, describing a late concert at the mart, says :—" In the first row of stalls were the Duke de Gramont and Lord Bloomfield ; and on the other side the Papal Nuncio, sitting next to Haider-Effendi, the repre sentative of the Sultan. The Empress wore a robe of white silk, embroidered in silver,with a long train, a pearl neck lace, and a bouquet of camellias, studded with diamonds. The archduchesses, too, were in white ; only the young Mathilde, daughter of the victor of ecotone, appeared in a rose-coloured dress." Prussian diplomatists seem to be convinced that part of the purchase money stipulated for in the original contract between France and Holland has been already paid over to the latter. The civil list of his Dutch Majesty, amounting only to 600,00011. (about 50,000(.) • year, has been long wholly inadequate to cover the wants of his court. Large quantities of French potatoes are now im ported into Southampton. They have been fetching seven guineas per ton. MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) On o'Owoi. The amount of business in the Stock Exchange to-day is limited, and prices present few changes. Thu Luxemburg question is still regarded with a certain degree of anxiety by some of the specu lators, who prefer to wait the result of the con ference before entering into fresh transac tions. The proposed Reform demonstration in Hyde-park also tends to check business. There is a slight inquiry, however, for the funds, which have risen per cent. Some of the foreign bonds are better, but English railway stocks have given way, upon additional sales, it is understood, by bankers, who have made large advances upon these securities. The discount market is rather active to-day, and the rates for the best paper are fully equal to the Rink minimum. There is, consequently, a good demand for money at that establishment. The charge for short advances in the Stock Exchange, on English government securities, is 21 per cent. Consuls are now quoted 911 to 4, for money and the account (May 9), and the Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents., 891 to 4. Exchequer Bills are steady, at 20s. to 255. prem. A few dealings have been reported in the India Five per Cent. stock, at previous quotations. Foreign stocks are inactive. Greek Bonds, how ever, are in request, and have risen 1 per cent. Spanish Passive are 1 higher, but Italian of 1861, have receded to the same extent. Turkish Bonds of Bur, are quoted 281 to 4; Greek, 134 to 141; Spanish Passive, 204 to ,s, ; ditto Certificates, 131. to ; Italian of 1861, 474 to ; Mexican, 151 to 4. Financial and miscellaneous shares have been very little dealt in. International Financial are quoted 2 to din. ; London Financial, 23} to 22A dia. ; General Credit, 3 to 21 din. ; Credit Fon cier, 6;to „ dis. ; National Discount, 61 to 71 prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 16 to I. Bank shares are quiet, with little business. Alli ance are quoted 11 to 9 dis. ; and Imperial Otto man, 11 to 11 dia. United States 5-20 Bonds are in demand, and have improved * per cent., viz., to 71i to 2. Erie Railway shares are quoted 42} to I, being lf per cent. better ; and Illinoia Central, 76 to showing a riseof k. Anglo-American and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference shares have advanced 2e. 6d., the present prices being 181 to 1 and 4 to i respectively. It is notified that the King will on Monday next inaugurate the commencement of the opera tions of the Belgian Public Worka Company (Limited). At the general meeting of the Lemberg•Czern mowitz Railway Company, held at Vienna on the 29th ult., a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. was declared. It is announced that "As the shares held in England received in November last interest at the rate of 6 per cent. instead of 5 per cent., which was paid in Austria from the date of the opening of the line, four months before the period stipulated, the difference will have to be deducted from this coupon ; the amount, there fore, will be on this occasion 12s. per share instead of 14s. as in future." The adjourned meeting of the Danube and Black Sea and Kustendjie Harbour Company (Limited) is convened for the 16th inst., but will only be held pro forma, in order that a further adjournment may be made to an early day, " when the directors hope they may be able to announce the settlement of the harbour dues commutation." HALF-PAST THREE O'CLOCE. Consols are steady, at 911 to I, both for money and the 9th inst. About 50,000/. in clipped sovereigns has been withdrawn from the Bank. At Path this morning the Three per Cent. Renter opened at 67.92, being nearly per cent. better than at the official close of the Bourse yesterday. No bar gold was withdrawn from the Bank yester day, but about 4,0001. in American eagles was taken out for exportation making a total of 192,0001. since the date of the last return. It has already been mentioned that the recent exports of gold were chiefly in payment for stock sold here by foreign holders, who were afraid of war, and, as these parties are buying back now that there is a prospect of peace, it seems probable that the bul lion in the Bank will not be further trenched upon, though the incoming supplies from Australia and other quarters may possibly be sent sway. The biddings for bills on India took place yester day at the Bank of England. The amounts allotted were :—To Calcutta, 13,70,000 is. ; to Madras, 20,000 rs. ; and to Bombay, 8,00,000 rs. The minimum price was fixed as before—viz., at Is. 111 d. on all the presidencies. Tenders on Bombay at Is. llid. will receive about 89 per cent. ; those above that price on Bombay, and those on Calcutta and Madras at Is. 110 and upwards, will receive in full. These results indicate a further, though slight, diminution in the de mand for the means of remittance to the Eaat. Up to the present period there has been little or no diminution of the distrust manifested with re gard to British railway property. It can scarcely be said that there is a panic, but week after week the decline in prices has been very disheartening. During the last few days • fresh check has been given by the report of the Committee of Investiga tion of the Brighton Railway ; and from the present mood of some of the shareholders it seems necessary to remind them that, admitting to the full all the points of doubt or difficulty that beset this concern, it is still, as its large income proves, a valuable property. But we will go farther than this, and assert that, if the rooent disclosures are rightly used by the proprietary, the present will prove an era of recovery, instead of despondency, ' for the Brighton Railway, as well as for other com panies which have long suffered from abuses similar to those laid bare in this instance. With regard to the immediate point at issue—the question as to whether the shareholders are to take up the three extensions with which it is sought to saddle them —it is nu longer mere rumour that some of the directors are deeply and per sonally involved in these lines, and the name of the ' late chairman, Mr. Leo Schuster, who, by the way, has retired, not only from the chairmanship, but from the board altogether, is especially men tioned in connection with these engagements. The shareholders at the adjourned meeting on the 16th inst. will have to decide whether they will take , up these commitments to relieve the persons already engaged with them, or boldly repudiate them altogether. In view of the attitude lately I assumed by them, it seems probable that the share holders will have the wisdom to help themselves. On all sides the character and standing of Colonel Bsrttelot, M.P., the new chairman, are favourably spoken of, and it would appear that what the share holders have to do is to rally round him, at the same time firmly insisting that a full state- ment shall be furnished of the extent and bearings of these extension engagements and of the real po sition of the directors personally in relation to the company and to the new lines. The fact that Brighton railway stock, which for years enjoyed the highest possible credit in the market, has within a comparatively brief period been depre ciated to the extent of something like 50 per cent., may well be accepted as a warning that the time has arrived for its owners to take action for its preservation. With a reformed system of management there is, we repeat, no reason to doubt that the property will still prove a good and remunerative one. After all, the case of the Brighton Railway Company is of a piece with that of British railway property generally, and what may be counselled in this in stance will hold equally good with other com panies. It would seem that distrust is being carried too far, since there can be no doubt of the intrinsic security of the vast sums of money lent on the security of railway debentures. All these millions, though now regarded with so mock sus picion, represent real property, and for the pro prietors to sacrifice it in vague alarm would be little short of suicide. If they are compelled practically to pledge for a tins. the existing moome of their lines, in order to retrieve their debenture credit, the sacrifice mast be submitted to, and if it causes a stop to be put, at once and for ever, to the thriftless and unsound system of borrowing millions in the form of floating debt, the salvation of railway pro perty may date from this day. Railway proprie tors are at last aroused, and if they will but act judiciously, and enforce the remedies which they know to be necessary, they will place their pro perty upon a more solid basis than it has ever yet held. They have had a sharp lesson, but fortu nately it has not come too late : let them profit by it. A meeting of the East India Land Credit and Finance Company (Limited) was held yesterday, when resolutions were passed agreeing to the buai ness being gradually contracted, with a view to its being finally closed, and the proceeds given back to the shareholders. The report of the directors of Liebig's Extract of Meat Company (Limited), to be presented at the general meeting on the 6th inst., states that the affairs of the company are progressing satisfac torily, though the general manager's time has been largely absorbed in the extension of the manufac tory at Fray Bentos. The sale of the extract of meat continues to increase, both in Europe and the colonies, but the production at Fray Bentos in 1866 proved to be somewhat below the expected quantity. The necessary accounts not having yet arrived, the meeting on the 6th is to be ad journed to the 20th inst., when it is probable that a dividend will be recommended. MINES.(IBIS DAY.) Um o'OLoas..

But, being unsuccessful in her applica tion, she fell into a state of dejection, and returned to Wilna, borne down with grief and in a declining state of health. She dragged on a melancholy existence for some time, but at length resolved to put an end to her life. With that object she seated herself Man arm chair, having first surrounded it with a large heap of paper, and then set light to the mass. The smoke attracted the attention of her servants, who found her with a smile on her lips and firmly resolved to die. She was extricated from the funeral pile she had prepared, but was so badly burnt that she expired two days after in fearful sufferings, leaving five children. THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OP ENO LAND.—Yesterday a special general meeting of the council of the Royal Agncultund Society was held at the Council house, 12, Hanover-square, to decide upon the place where the show should be holden in the year 1868, Mr. H. S. Thompson in the chair. The throe towns between which the choice of the council was to rest were Derby, Leicester, and Nottingham. and a deputation from each to wni waited on the council to urge their respective claims.
