The coroner's inquiry respecting the suicide of a young woman who leaped in front of • North-Woolwich train at the Stepney Junction was renewed and concluded Lot night at the London Hospital by Mr. Humphreys. on Wednesday week the deceased, who was a respect ably dressed young woman of about 18 years of age was revs by Mr. Pen, the station-master, to jump from the pritform on to the line in front of the engine. lie rushed to her assistance, but when she saw him coming she deliberately threw herself under the engine wheels, which passed over her, and both her legs were cut off at the thighs. Singular to state she lived until the next morning. She was sensible, and when she was ofered brandy she said, "Give me water." When she ass dying she said, " Ratcliff." She had come from Hackney, fur half • return-ticket was found upon her. No person has come forward to identify her. The coroner advised the jury simply to declare the curse of the deceased's death, and not to make any remark ; bout the state of her mind. The jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased lost her life by throwing herself in front of • North Woolwich train." In this case it Is thought that all clue to the identity of the deceased will shortly be lost, for it is the habit of parocltial authorities to sell the clothes of persons found dead, in order to pay the expenses of their funeral.

STRANGE SCENES IN A CHURCH.—For number of Sundays past the vicar and congregation of St. Mary's Church, Clitheroe, have been annoyed by unseemly and improper conduct on the part of several of the pa rishioners. A great portion of the pews have long and uninterruptedly been used by certain of the gentry of the district, and the brass plates on the doors of the pews give the names of the various owners. A report, however, has been current latterly that, with one or two exceptions, the title to all these has been lost. Hence the tight to Captain Trappe's pew has been made questionable by Mr. John Mitchell, one of the churchwardens, and the occupier. On and since the 25th August attempt. have been made by the friends or relatives of both par ties to debar one another from amass to the pew, and the local magistrates had yesterday to investigate three eases of assault arising out of the affair. The defendants were Louis Mitchell sad Frederick Mitchell, two of the sone of the church warden, and they were proved to have assaulted Leonard, a gardener of Captain Trappe's, while he was trying to get into the pew. On another occasion the former defendants had assaulted Leonard, and actually jumped over the pew side into the pew, causing no little commotion in the church. On Sunday last, one of the occupants of the pew even sat upon • hat. The Rev. Mr. Andel ton, the lieu, was present himself in the court yesterday, as well as the mayor, and many other gentlemen of the district, as the court was crowded by the townspeople. For each assault defendant* were fined 21. and coda. Mr. Baldwin, who appeared for Captain Trappe, then proceeded against them under the 23rd and 24th Victoria, cap. 3'2, for being guilty of violent and indecent conduct in the church, and the magistrates convicted them again in a mitigated penalty of 31. and costa, Mr. Ralph Asahe too, the chairman, remarking to Louis Mitchell that it was quite optional with the magistrates whether they committed him for two months, and that they had had the matter seriously under their consideration. Churches were not kept open for disturbances, and he trusted theta would be no more in Clitheroe Church. Both the defen dants had subjected themselves to apprehension by • police-constable. A summons which had been served on Leonard was foregone. THREE DEATHS IN A FAMILY.—The graves of a family of the same of Ball have been opened three times hi three weeks at Patching, in Sussex. Four months ago William Ban, • carter, left Patching for Southwick, hav ing obtained employment from Mr. Clayton, the brick maker. On Sunday, the Ist of September, one of his daughters, aged 18, died of consumption. She was burled at Patching on Friday, the 60, and next Saturday, the 7th, hie horse haying started off in the bricktield at Kings ton-by-Sea, William Ball, in jumping from his cart, fell, and a wheel teased over the middle of his body. Soon after being taken into the County Hospital be died. On the following Thursday he was buried beside his daughter; and his aged father, William Ball, a labourer, asked" Who will be the next!" He was himself the next. The'grand father was buried beside his son and granddaughter last Thursday."— West Sateen Gazette. SHOCKING Da IN A WOOD.—A few days ago a person wandering through a wood near Brilley came upon the dead body of a woman, stretched at full length under a tree. The body, which had evidently lain there for many months, presented a shocking appearance, being reduced to a mere skeleton, not so much by the promos of natural decay as by the attacks of rats and other vermin. The police were at once communicated with, but from the condition of the body great difficulty was experienced in having it identified. Ultimately, an inquest was held, when the remains were claimed as those of Mary Price, an old woman upwards of 70 years of age, and a well known resident of the neighbouring village of LyoushalL It appears that so far back as June last the old woman left her home, and all inquiries made failed to lead to the discovery of her whereabouts. With what intent she en tered the wood remains unexplained, but it is clear that when there she hail wandered up and down until she was wearied out, and lying down to rest under the tree hail there died from exhaustion. The jury returned an open verdict. —Times. AUTOGRAPHS.—There, for instance, is the great i Duke's list of the cavalry under his command, written on the field of Waterloo just before the battle ; there is Nel sen's last letter to Lady Hamilton, found open on his desk sod tusfinuhed of ter the battle of 'Trafalgar. It is easy to imagine that character may be detected in handwriting. Look, for instance, at the free, dashing penmanship of Prince Rupert, and the hard, stern, self-contained signs. ' tare of Oliver CromwelL At the sale of the Baker collec tion in 1815, occurred a very Interesting letter of the Prince to Charles I. He had been ordered to leave Eng land, sod writes to remonstrate. "The meanest subject you have could not be me unkinde and unnaturally treated with ; however, it shall never lessen my respect to your Majestie, though I am now afilioted, you should be per leaded to doe see unhandsome a thing with the ill-usage M your Majesties most obedient nepßew and faithful set- MS, RuPERT." It sold for 13 guineas. Perhaps the largest sum a letter of Cromwell had ever produced was in li4, when that to Mr. Cotton, " Pastor to the Church at Eaton, in New England," sold for till. It was bought for America. The Baker collection had a very interesting letter of Charles I. to the Marquis of Ormond, in which be declares war to be better than a dishonourable peace, sad prefers " the chance of warr than to give my consent t° sal such allowance of Popery as must evidently bring detraction." This sold for 711. At the same eels was an "ally interesting letter from Lord Stra ff ord to his wife, "ally a prisoner in the Tower, expressing his belief that there Wu nothing in the charge against him. or that, "st 1 1 , , !corst, his Majessy will pardon aIL" This produced et. 10a —C orn Aill Magazine for October.

The stock markets opened this morning with • better tendency, and, although a partial reaction has since occurred, prices in many cases are higher than they closed last evening. There is more dis position to buy in consequence of the contradic tion given in the French papers to the ad verse rumour of yesterday, but a great deal of sensitiveness is still apparent. Some of the dealers ref use to enter into fresh transactions until the arrival of the quotations from the Paris Bourse. Business in the Stock Exchange for some days to come will be chiefly regulated by the course of prices there. Consols have advanced 6 per cent., and British railway securities 6 to 11. A few of the foreign bonds are slightly firmer. At the commencement Italian Bonds experienced a fresh rise of 4 per cent., but have since given way, upon a pressure of sales, and are now d below the last quotation of yesterday. In the discount market there is • fair demand for money, principally in connexion with the bills due to-morrow, the 4th of the month. The supply, however, is still extremely large, and choice bills are freely taken at # per cent. below the Bank minimum. Short loans on English government securities are still offered in the Stock Exchange at 1 per cent. Consols are quoted 944 to for money and the Bth inst., and 944 to 4 for the November settle ment. The Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents. are at 926 to #, ex div. There is no increased demand for British railway stocks, and prices generally are firmer. Midland and Brighton have improved f per cent. ; Cale donian, South Eastern, Great Eastern, and Great Northern, 4 ; and Metropolitan, London and North Western, and London, Chatham, and Dover, 4. Subjoined we the quotations :—Metropolitan, 1231 to 124 ; Great Western, 471 to 48 ; Lon don and North Western, 114 to 4 ; Midland, 1204 to I ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 127 to 4 ; Caledonian, 1031 to 1044, ex div. ; South Eastern, 683 to 4 ; Great Eastern, 314 to f ; Great Northern, 1101 to 1114 ; ditto A, 1164 to ; Lon don, Chatham. and Dover, 194 to f ; North British, 321 to 331 ; and Brighton, 534 to 54. The foreign stock market is slightly firmer, and Turkish of 1865, Spanish Passive, and the Com mittee's Certificates exhibit a rise of 4 per cent. Italian of 1861, however, are f lower than yesterday at 454 to 464. Turkish of 1862 are at 61 to 62 ; ditto of 1865, 314 to 4 ; Greek, 133 to 14 ; Spanish Passive, 19 to 4 ; Certificates 161 to 4 ; Egyptian, 1864, 82 to 83, ex div. ; and Mexican, 15 to 4. American securities are in request at an im provement. The 5-20 bonds are quoted 72 to 4, showing a rise of 4 per cent. Erie Railway shares 42 to 4, being If better ; and Illinois Central, 77 to 4—an advance of 1. Anglo-American Telegraph shares have advanced 2s. 6d., viz., to 174 to 4, but Atlantic Telegraph Eight per Cent. Preference are unaltered, at 34 to 4. Bank shares are without change of importance, but Imperial Ottoman are inquired for, at 11 to 01 dia. London and Westminster are quoted 68 to 69 ; Union of London, 37 to 38 ; Alliance, 11 to 9 dia. ; Chartered Mercantile of India, 284 to 291 ; and London and County, 55 to 56. Financial shares present no movement. Inter national Financial aro called 21 to 1/ dia. ; London, 23 to 21 dis. ; General Credit, 21 to 2} dia. ; and Credit Fonder, 51 to 5/ dis. The usual half-yearly interest at the rate of five per cent. per annum upon the shares of the Fair bairn Engineering Company (Limited) is announced for payment on the 10th inst. A. meeting of the shareholders of the Great Luxembourg Company will be held on the 9th inst., preparatory to the general meeting ad vertised to be held in Brussels on the 19th. Some ground is afforded for a suspicion that the shock to the continental markets which has reacted so prejudicially hers is con siderably aggravated by financial difficulties. Thus, a fall on the Paris Bourse has been pre pared by the long veiled but now notorious em barrassments of the Credit Mobilier Society, the collapse of which has spread consternation amongst a vast multitude throughout France ; while the extreme sensitiveness of Italian stock is aggravated by the knowledge that the financial necessities of the government are so pressing, now that the Church Lands Loan scheme is in jeol ardy, as to engender doubts respecting the ability of the government to provide funds for the payment of the n •xt dividend, unless on very onerous terms. In so far as the fall on the continental bourses may be traced to financial causes, there 14,f course the less ground for discouragement here ; and in any case, however great may be the elements of political dis turbance abroad, the question as to what is to be done with the vast mass of idle money must soon begin to press more forcibly than any other. It is true that the public do not invest at present prices, because they are still vaguely dis trustful, and because they know that the first effect of political embroilments abroad would be a fall in our funds and in allpther securities; while bankers, apparently arguing in the same way, are ready to lend to any amount upon good stocks, but are loth to buy. It must be borne in mind, however, in estimating the probable course of prices in the future, that even war on the Continent, instead of relieving the glut of money here, would rather have a tendency to increase it, by driving capital to this side. It seems reasoniblo to infer, there- fore, that prudent capitalists will not be doterred from continuing their investments in such solid stocks as are likely to be exempt in the largest degree from the influence of continental turmoil. About 45,000 sovereigns from Sydney and 3,000 from Lisbon were sent into the Bank yesterday, making a total of 423,000/. for the week, while only 10,0001. has been withdrawn in the same period for exportation. At the turn of the quarter, however, there is usually some absorption of coin in the provinces. The Seine, from Brazil, has brought 15,9971. in specie, and the Cimbria, from New York, 7,0001. The bidding' for bills on India took place yester day at the Bank of England. The amounts allotted were :—To Calcutta, 960,000 rupees, and to Madras 40,000 rupees. The minimum price was fixed as before, viz., at Is. llfd. on Calcutta and Madras. Tenders at Is. no. will receive about 13 percent. Those above will be allotted in full. No tenders for bills on Bombay were invited, owing to the expenses of government there in connection with the coming war in Abyssinia. With reference to the difficulties of Messrs. Peter Buchanan and Co., of Glasgow, it is understood that the house has branches at Montreal and Ha milton (Canada West), and at New York. It is stated that the Montreal firm of J. Buchanan and Co. is entirely unconnected with any other branch of the business, and composed of different part ners, except the senior, Mr. Isaac Buchanan, who is partner in all the firms. The Montreal house, it is affirmed, will duly meet all engagements. New York advice' announce the failure of Mews. Gill, °Wets, and Noyes, tea merchants, for 100,0001., through buying goods for gold and selling for currency. From Boston we learn of the bankruptcy of George L. Schuyler, of the firm of 110 118 80 8i PI/BRION MINIS. if,ooo I 100,000 i 1 20,000 i 20 16,000, 55,000 10,000 I 10,000 ie;iea 116,6605 , 26,000! 60,000 Manillas Waited) Angio.Bral.Gold(Lim ) Australian Cape Coon.

The subjoined report upon the leather trade is from the circular of Messrs. T. J. and T. Powell : We have again to report a steadily increasing demand fee leather during the month just closed, although the 'lteration in prices is very slight. Per some months, however, the stocks of sole leather of all kinds have been gradually diminishing, and this diminution has been more marked during beptember than in any of the preced ing months. The supplies during the same period have scarcely amounted to an average. It must also be re membered that the recent demand has partaken as little as possible of a speculative character, buyers generally having shown fuUy their usual caution ; it may therefore be inferred that no sudden check will be given to the trade. but that the gradual improvement may fairly be ex pected to continue. Raw Goods—The imports have again been small, and have for the most part gone into coo sumption, leaving the stocks on hand almost unpreoe denteally mall. Priori have not materially changed, but an upward tendency has been apparent at both the public sales of the month. At Leadenhall yesterday there was again a small supply of fresh leather ; good English butts of all weights were in active request ; English bellies also were scarce and sold freely, but the amount of Imaineen generally was not important.
