She is under the be lief that her mother is (dewy endeavouring to jareber ; that•wbether near home or many miles re moved from home, in some way which she is suite unable to explain she is continually exercising some Injurious in gumuse. For this belief there appears to be no foundstion, e ed the only conclusion at which one can reesonably arrive is that she is relieving under a delusion. " J. R. GIBSON, M.R.C.S., &a" Alderman Hecht sailed the father if there was any &aeon to account for this unhappy delusion. Mr. Longman said there were natural causes which were curable by medical treatment. Alderman Mechi said it was a most lamentable ease, and h e hardly knew what was best to be done with her. He thought the best thing he could do would be to commit her for trial, and then the judges would And some means of having her taken mire of until her mental and bodily health was restored. Mr. Longman asked the worthy a ldermen to let her go to Australia by the vessel that weld sail on the 10th of July, se all th;spere were signed, her passer) t a ken, and the money Alderman Mechi said be was afraid to let her go from under control. He did not consider her own life or the lives of othets safe under her present state of mind. In the interests of the public be must have the poor young woman taken are of until the state of her mental and bodily health was so far improved as to render it rafts to trait her to the care of her friends. He must commit her for trial. The prisoner after being cautioned said she had nothing to say but that she would berfectly safe if sent away to Australia, for she bad no prejupedice against anyone but her mother. The prisoner was then orstentitted ter trial. BOH-STAHRT. • COMING TO TOWN TO =JOY HIMSELF. Walter Bertecod, a boy of about 12 years of age, was charged upon hie own confession with stealing 61. in money and a silver watch from his aunt, with whom he had been living at Southampton. Police-constable Groves, 83 F, stated that his attention was called last night to the prisoner, who was sitting on a door-step in the Piazza, Covent-garden, crying. Two gentlemen asked him what was the matter, and he said that he was quite destitute, and that he had no f a ther or mother, no home to go to, and nothing to eat. The gentlemen walked to the station with him, and after saying they hoped something would be done for him, went away. Witness then questioned him as to his name, &c. He gave several names, and made inconsistent statements. Witness then said he must lock him up, upon which )risoner exclaimed," Well, I will tell you the whole truth. He then gave his real name, and stated that his father and mother were both dead, the former having been run over by a goods van in December Lat. His aunt, who lives at Southampton, then took him to live with her. On one occasion he robbed her of half a sovereign, and she forgave him. About three weeks back she went out to market, leaving him at home. Whilst she was gone he broke open her box, and stole 61. in money and a silver watch. He then came up by the next train to London to enjoy himself in town. He soon fell in with a gentleman who proved to be a very pleasant companion, and who took him about seeing life in the metropolis. They breakfasted, dined, supped, and lodged together (always at the prisoner's expense), and in short his friend never left him till every farthing of the 6/. was spent. He then offered to take the watch to a friend of his, who would buy it. Prisoner entrusted him with the watch, and he went away for shout half-an-hour, prisoner waiting for him in Covent-garden Market. On his return he gave the prisoner 3s. 63., saying that was all he couldget for the watch. He remained with prisoner till that also was spent, when he disappeared, and prisoner never saw any more of him. Upon this statement witness locked the prisoner up. Sir Thomas Henry remanded the prisoner, to give time for the police to communicate with the prisoner's aunt. at Southampton, with a view to his committal to a refor matory.

THE STATE OF THE WORKHOUSE INFIRMARIES. THE POOR-LAW INQUIRY AT PADDINGTON. (TMS: DAY). tii This forenoon the inquiry into the charges pre- It, tarred against the management of the sic k wards of the 17,.., Paddington-workhouse was resumed by Mr. nautili, C.B. le Mr. M. Bere, banister, appeared on the part of the at, guardians, and Mr. Ernest Hart represented the A/soda- 9 tion for the Improvement of Workhouse Infirmaries. s 2s t. Mr. Bere proposed to call Mr. Bennett, a guardian. Mr. Hart said he had a number of witnesses still to call, 8 8 , t ' and he should wish it to be understood that he reserved' El i the right to call them if Mr. Bete examined his witnesses e at this stage. St. The Commissioner said that when he had heard su ffi cient ils evidence to enable him to make his re to to the Poor-law St Board he should say so, and then no further evidence 24 would be necessary . Mr. Hart's corroborative evidence s t . might not be required. to Mr. John Bennett ,a sleeping partnerin a shipping house , to deposed that he had been a guardian for five years, and having his time at his own disposal, he devoted nearly all of it to the duties of governor of many hospitals, and sys tematically visited them. He also particularly looked after the infirmaries of the Paddington Workhouse. He , spoke to the patients and heard their complaints about the meat being a little too fat, too lean, Sc., and had them redressed. The master never interfered when ho spoke to patients. Never heard any complaints of cruelty. j, By theCommissioner—Some officials always accompanied -' the guardians on the Friday visitation, for they bad no keys. 1 , It would be improper at times to enter the wards with- B out introduction, but the master did not interfere. The quantity of wine and spirits used was so great that it was necessary to bring the subject before the board. The Commissioner—Who brought it before the board' Witness—The master. The Commissioner—Was the object to procure a dimi nution of the quantity of stimulants ordered ? The witness said that was not the object. The subject was merely brought before the board to explain why so large a quantity had to be ordered for the workhouse. By Mr. Bere—The pauper nurses were so efficient that he was sometimes glad enough to get one for other institutions. For one case a pauper nurse got for the Lock Hospital, behaved so well that she got a good situation. In choosing paid nurses a larger proportion were found more inefficient than among pauper nurses. Lunatic patients were sometimes kept in the workhouse for a few days until a magistrate's order for their removal to the asylum could be obtained. There was only the room next 79 ward and two padded rooms to keep them in. The padded rooms ware constructed in concurrence with the Pour-law Board. The Commissioner said that, although the Poor-law Board caused padded rooms to be built for emergencies, yet lunatics were not to be kept in the house. Mr. Bennett said that he knew that, and there were about seventy lunatics belonging to the workhouses in Hanwell Asylum. The infirmaries were much worse off than an hoepital in one respect. If a person was found to be incurable in St. Mary's Hospital, the case was sent to Paddington workhouse, no matter how bad it might be, and there it had to be dealt with. [The inquiry was proceeding when our report left.l CLERKENWELL. THE LATE SEIZURE OF COUNTERFEIT COIN. Robert Burgess, an old man, well known to the police , was charged with having in his possession three counter feit florins and one counterfeit shilling, with intent to circulate the same in the parish of Hackney. Mr. Ricketts, solicitor, defended. The facts of this case have already been reported. It will be remembered that Mr. Brennan, the Mint agent, of 39, Radnor-street, St. Luke's, accompanied by inspectors Fyfe, Landon, and Bush, went to the prisoner's house with a search warrant and found the counterfeit coin mentioned in the charge. With the prisoner were appre hended three others, but they were discharged. The prisoner has before been convicted of uttering counter feit coin. Inspector Langdon asked for a remand as he should be able to bring charges of obtaining goods by false pretences against the prisoner. Mr. D'Eyncourt remanded the prisoner on the charge of obtaining goods by false pretences, and committed him on the charge of having the counterfeit coin in his possession. THE FEVER DENS OF CLEREEN WELL. Jan Sealthorpe, coffee-house keeper, of 8, Clerkenwell green, was summoned by Inakiector Turner, of the Lodging house department, for having his house in a dirty state and receiving lodgers, he not having a license to do so. James Hughesman, 47 A, inspecting sergeant of common lodging houses, stated that he visited the defendant's shop and found the floors, passages, closet, and. the beds and bedding in a most filthy state. He had nine lodgers, eight of them paying 2e. Gd. per week. In November last the defendant was fined 40s. and costs for a similar offence. Mr. DrEynconrt fined the defendant 40a. and nests. Mary Bryan, of 12, Union-court, Holborn , was fined ss. and costs, for receiving three lodgers, each paying 2s. per week. Herself, sister, and girl all slept in one bed in a small room adjoining that in which the lodgers were. There were two or three other cases of the same kind. LAMBETH. BURGLARY ANI' ROBBERY. nolitaS Stone, 19, was finally examined before the Hon. G. C. Norton, on a charge of breaking into the house of Mr. John Lindfield, the Black Prince public-house, Wel worth-road. From the evidence adduced it appeared that on the morning of Sunday last, between the hours of 1 and 2 o'clock, the prisoner was observed on the top of a building in Black Prince-court, adjoining the premises of the prosecutor, endeavouring to conceal him self behind a chimney. He was pointed out to Pollee constable 97 I', who called to him to oome down, and he did so. He accounted for being on the roof by saying that a friend of hie had thrown his cap on the building, and he went there to get it. On the roof being examined, how ever, a box, which had been taken from a second-floor room in the house of Mr. Lindlield, the prosecutor, was found there. Mrs. Lindfield identified the box and its contents, and said that for some time before the robbery the prisoner bad been to her house, and on the night of the robbery he was there up to 12 o'clock. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the offence, and was sen tenced to six months' hard labour. AN OMNIBUS CONDUCTOR DYING IN HARNESS. Dr. Lankeater held an inquest inquest last evening at the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's-inn-road, on the body of Alfred Sheppard, 33 years of age, a conductor, in the service of the London General Omnibus Company, who fell from au omnibus while in ill-health, the request for a holiday having been refused. Charles Sheppard, a gentleman's servant at Streatham, said the deceased was his brother. Having heard that he was to have a holiday on account of ill-health, witness came up from Streatham on Sunday to see hint. He had complained for a fortnight of not being well, and had asked for a rest. He had expected to be off on the Sunday, but the holiday was not granted. Three years ago he hail fits. At 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon last witness was on the omnibus and saw his brother kicking in the road. Being insensible lie The conveyed to the hospital. He died on Tuesday morning. The Coroner remarked that this was something like working to death. Mr. John D. Hill, resident surgeon, deposed to the admission of deceased at 3 o'clock on Sunday afternoon. lie was in a state of insensibility and had a succession of fits. There was a wound on the forehead. He got worse and died from the effect of serous apoplexy. By the Coroner—The request for a rest ought to have been granted. In his (Mr. Hill's) opinion, he fell off the omnibus in a lit. Other evidence was then given, showing that deceased had been in the company's service seven or eight years, and that the omnibus ran from the Peacock at Islington to Brompton. While at the Peacock deceased complained of his head, and went into the yard and bathed it in a tub of water. Shor tl y after passing the Angel the driver was stopped and told, his conductor was in the road. In the case of a man wanting a holiday he had to give notice and the company provided a substitute. On Satur day deceased was told he could not have the holiday. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death ac celerated by the fall." They appended to their verdict a resolution expressive of their dissatisfaction at the refusal of the holiday to the deceased when he was evidently in a condition unlit to perform his duties as conductor of an omnibus. The Coroner said he would send the resolution to the General Omnibus Company. PLEAS. • Before Lord Chia( Jury.)

A VOLUNTEER SERGEANT SHOT DEAD. At a late hour on Tuesday evening the pul of the Hartlepools were startled by the intelligence that a well-known non-commissioned officer of the 15th Durham (Hartlepool) Rifle Volunteers, named Sergeant Gilbert Kennedy, bad come to P. most horrible death. The intelli gence proved to be too true. The deceased has for many years acted as storekeeper to Mews. Richardson, Denton, Duck, and Co., at the Middleton Iron Works, and had attended to his duties up to the day of his death. It appears he left his employment about 8 o'clock on Tuesday night, when he went to his residence at Mid dleton. He partook of tea in the presence of his wife and a child, an intelligent little girl of five years of About an hour afterwards his wife observed him to take down his rifle, which was in the back sitting room, and she inquired what he was going to do with it. He said he purposed cleaning it. Not fearing anything would happen, or observing anything strange in the conduct of her husband, she went out of the house for some purpose or other, and had scarcely crossed the threshold of the front door before the report of firearms was heard, and the little child COMO rushing oat of the house into the street. On going back a shocking spectacle was presented. Her husband lay on the floor dead —his skull entirely blown off, his brains scattered about the ceiling and walls of the room, the rifle lying at the side of the disfigured corpse, and a hole in the ceiling showing that the bullet, which had gone through the man's head, hal passel up into the apartment above, occupied by another family, but all of whom escaped injury. An in quest was held yesterday afternoon, at the Voltigeur Hotel, before Mr. J. Settle, coroner, and the evidence adduced was a mere corroboration of the above facts. The jury returned a verdict " that the deceased had died from a gunshot wound in the head, but whether a ccidentall y or otherwise there was not sufficient evidence to show." Deceased was a native of Ayr, Scot ..d, and was 43 years of age.—Lads Mercury. EXTENSIVE FIRE AND GREAT LOSS OF PROPERTY. —About '9 o'clock last night *destructive fire occurred in the premises belonging to Mr. Grizzle, wholesale and retail clothier, No. VI, Plough-road, Notherbithe. ' The whole of the vrluable stock-in•trade, furniture, fixtures, and oth er effects were destroyed. The origin of the disaster is at present unknown, but the general impression is that it arose from an escape of gas. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE AT LONDON-BRIDGE. Mr. Wm. Payne, the City coroner, held an in- b quiry at St. Magnus Vestry-room, Lower Thamesswhose treet, last evening, respecting the suicide of a woman name was unknown. Po li ce - cons table George Cross, 821, City force, said that last Sunday night, at about 11 o'clock, he was on duty in King William-street, when he saw a multitude of people on the steps at the City side of London-bridge. Witness sprang his rattle for assistance, and hastened to the spot. Several persons told him that a woman had run down the steps and leaped into the river. A boatman pulled her out of the water with his drags in less than ten minutes. Dr. Hughes, of Fenchuroh-street, was sent for, and when he arrived he put a scent - bot tle to her nose, pulled her, and shoved her about. He left in a quarter of an hour. Coro ne r—When the doctor came he had nothing to help him. He could not do much o n the steps of the bridge. The woman wanted warmth awl blankets. The witness said that the body was reoovered a quarter past 11 o'clock at night, and all the public-houses were then closed, it being Sunday. The nearest Royal Humane Society's receiving bowie was the Swan in Thames-street, and that was closed. A juror remarked that the woman ought to have been taken to Guy's Hospital, but the Coroner replied that they were so particular there that if they thought the woman was dead they would not have taken her in. All the public-house people could not have been in bed. The witness said a bystander told him that he had seen the deceased walk straight over the bridge, go down the steps, and then throw herself into the water. She looked about 35 or 40 years of age. James J. Anderson said that the deceased was clothed in rags. She was very poor indeed, and had evidently been in the greatest distress. Nothing was found upon her escept a parties of a religious tract which was discovered in her pockets. Her bonnet was found in the river next morning. Win. Ball, a lightermiin, said that when he recover ed the body the doomed we e warm. She appearedto be very poor. At the request of the jury the court was adjourned for the ?rah:sake of evidence respecting the decensia'n identity. FIEJTS.-(THIS DAY.) Own o'CLoci.

Mr. R. V. Walker, one of their own body attached to the Pimlico branch ' , was called to the chair, and gave a brief outline of the contents of the me morial which had been agreed to at a meeting of the men held last December in Hawkstone-hall. It urged that , owing to the advance in the cost of the necessaries of life and of house rent, it was wholly im possible for them to support themselves and fe • uulies upon lae. per week, and they humbly • prayed that an addition of 10 per cent. might be con :ceded. This memorial was presented to the Marquis of • Hartingtou by Mr. Locke, ALP., and Professor Fawcett, . .1.P., and on the Ist instant a reply was received from - Lord Dutferin an nouncing that its prayer cou ld not be - complied with.' Mr. Simms, of the Tower, moved a rem ' lution, expressing regret at this unexpected result, and :requesting the committee who had charge of the business _ to prepare A petition to the House of Commons, praying - for inquiry into their case. He said his own position was - tie doubt that of most of his fellow-workmen. He had a - wife and four children, with another in perspective. He - alone was the bread winner, as neither his wife nor his - children could do anything in the shape of work. His _ _ wages were 15s. per week, or 21. 6d. perthe week per head, about fourpence farthing and seventh - of a farthing a day. With existing war prices how could - he live upon that, or subscribe to a sick or benefit fu not be nd ? - He had read in the newspapers that a pauper could - kept for less than 4s. per week, and yet the government of _ - this great country expected him to be content with 2a. 6d. - Mr. Marsh, of the Royal Clo thin g Stores, Pimlico, seconded - the resolution. The Rev. Hugh Allen, who hadthe attemtended - by invitation , expressed himself delighted at pe rate language of the men, who, he said, were no ordinary labou re! a, but evidently from their appearance belonged to a better class, to whom the responsibility of a position of trust attached. He was told that their hours of labour were from 7 in the morning till 6 at night, and he could. not understand why so reasonable a demand as an advance of la. 9d. per week had been denied them. The pay of tha humbler employes of the Custom-house was bad enough, but here it appeare d to be a great deal worse. The resolution having been put and carried unanimously, thanks were voted to the two honourable members who, amongst other public) men, had espoused the cause of the memorialists, and the meeting separated. EXTRAORDINARY TRAVELLING ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. -A feat of almost Unrivalled travel ling was recently accomplished on the Great Northern Railway. On the occasion of the late fire at Newcastle, when the safety of the High L evel Bridge was endangered, & telegram was sent to London requiring the attendance of Mr. Harrison, the engineer of the North-Eastern Railway Company, and that gentleman was conveyed by an Ki ng engine 's. belonging to the Great Northern Company from cross to York, a distance of 191 miles, in 3 hours and 43 minutes, including . a stoppage of 8 minutes at Newark for water and lubricating the engine. The driver who accom plished this journey as named Robinson, one of the most ex =Deed men in the company's service.-Leeda • • BRITISH possEssiota. 100 . ! all .Atlantic&SLLawrence l St. 1 100 ,Bom.

Most of the other departments of the Stock Exchange, however, are rather firm, and prices are well maintained. The public continue to invest in many securities, especially railway stocks, which are accordingly again better in some cases. Banking and financial shares are also 'still inquired for, as well as some of the foreign bonds. Turkish of 1865 are in especial request. American securities exhibit a slight improternent. The discount market is quiet, but it is believed that an increased demand wlll spring up later in the day, owing to the !Intent to which bills have been kept back in exPctation of a reduction in the Bank rate. The charge fur choice paper is 9} per cent. After a somewhat protracted sitting, the directors of the Bank of England have decided not to alter the rate of discount, which will accordingly remain lat 10 per cent. for the present. It is understood the authorities consider the reserve too low to admit of the minimum. being lowered at the moment, and with the period so near for the pay ment of the dividends. The publication of the mmtaCullinoansoy,tanmaredorriiwistoqauwBo7aite:i:B6l'fidiltirtte:sreaux x di ie r ty ; for for the account (July 10). Turkish Bonds of 1865 are in request, and have risen 1 per cent., but Italian of 1861 have receded 4, and Spanish Passive 4. Greek, Brazilian scrip, and Mexican are steady. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are now quoted 54 to 55; ditto of 1865, 28} to 29 ; Greek, 11 to ; Spanish Passive, 18} to 191 ; ditto Certificates, 141 to 15 ; Italian, 1861, 40 to ir ; Brazilian scrip, 31 to 21 dis. ; and Mexican, 140 to 1. There is a alight demand for United States 5-20 bonds, which have advanced 1 per cent., viz., to 644 to . Erie Railway shares are quoted 37f to 381, and Illinois Central 74 to 4 1 , being per cent. better. International Financial shares are now quote d 1 a to 11 die. ; London Financial, 13 to 12 dis. ; General Credit, 11 to 10 die. ; Credit Fonder, 11 to 11 dis.; and National Discount, GI to 74 prem. In the Stock Exchange yesterday there was a good demand for money, partly in connection with the settlement, and, the supply being small, owing to the advanced period of the quarter, the rate for short loans on English government securities was scarcely below 7to 8 per cent. For loans on foreign stocks from account to account about 8 per cent. was charged. The payment of the dividends will commence at the Bank of England next Monday week, the 9th of July. The following, with reference to the New Gra nada dividends, was posted yesterday in the Stock Exchange :—" Messrs. Baring BT , .thers and Co. have this day received on account cf New Granada dividends the followin' remittances :—Front Cus tonthouse of Santa Marta, 370/.; from Custom house of Cartagena, 41)01.—total, 8201."
