This forenoon Mr. John Humphreys, the Mid dlesex coroner, held an inquiry at the Duke of Oambridge Tavern, Felix-street, Hackney-road, touching the death of cewly-boru male child, the illegitimate offspring of gorol . l _ _ _ John T. Clark, No. 9, Felix-street, said that he was a hat presser. The deceased was the sae of his daughter. He did not know that anything was the matter with his daughter until his return from his bulbar at 7 o'clock on loonday last. She was in great pain, and she did not make say statement, but witness went for the pariah doctor. Mr. Walsh then s-id he could not oome, and said " Yon should ask her what is the matter with her." Witne went to her, and she said she was in labour. Witness went back to the doctor, and he said, " Can't you get a cab and take her to the workhouse ?" Witness replied, " I have no money, for I have been out of work." ' Call • cab and put her in it" said the doctor, " and when she is taken into the workhouse they will pay the cabman." Witness went back to his daughter, who was in her bedroom, and told her. She made a state ment and witness want bask to Mr. Walsh, and asked him to come at once, as the child was partly born. The room at the doetor'• was full of patents, and be said he could not go to see th• mother. There were three boys in witness's house but no woman. Witness did not call in a female neighbour, for he did not associate with women. When he went into his daughter's bedroom, nearly 11(o'clook at night, she still complained of agony, and witness went back to Mr. Walsh • fourth time and dmaibed to him the state his daughter was in and asked him to come, and if he would witness would pay him. He said, " I can't come, it's too late at night for me to go, I have bad a mui hard day's work, and I can't go." It was then nearly 12 o'clock at night, and witness went to Dr. Latham, who came at once. A young man, whose name witness did not know, was paying his addresses to his daughter. Witness's da ug hter had since the birth of the child made a statement, and said that that young man seduced her and then deserted her. Witness thought that parish doctors vase bound to come when called in. He (witness) was very poor. He had no order from the parish. Witness was a widower. Dr. C. W. Latham, Hackney-road, said that when the lai; witness called at his house, late on Tuesday night, his swistant went to see the mother at once. The ch"d was then dead. The mother had been moving about, she "had been first here and then there m the room. The child had been born alive. The post mortem exami nation of the body proved that the cause of death was injury to the head from a fall, and from want of skilled at tention at birth. _ _ Mr. Burrows, coroner's officer, said that the mother of the deceased stated that she had heard the child cry. The Coroner said that the doctor (Mr. Walsh) was not bound to attend without a parish order, and he had been greatly worked the whole of the day. The case was a shocking one, for the woman had been left without assist ance while she was four hours in a state of agony. The doctor would have been bound to attend the mother although he was tired, if the father had obtained a parish order. The jury after some deliberation returned a verdict "That the deceased child came to his death accidentally in consequence of receiving certain injuries to the head through want of skilled attendance on the mother." METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. (THIS DAY.) The usual weekly meeting of the members of this board took place this morning at their offices in Spring-gardens, Sir JOAN THWAITEB in the chair. FINANCY. The cash statement showed a each balance of 385,163/. 10,1. Cheques not presented, 87,8871. 19s. 9d. THABESI EMBANKMENT NEW CONTRACT, NO. 3 (FROM TEMPLR-GARDENS TO BLACKFILIARS-BRIDGZ). The CHAIRMAN proceeded to open the tenders for the works of the Thames embankment contract (No. 3) from Temple-pier to Blackfriars-bridge. The following were the several amounts of the tenders :—Messrs. Hill and %Witte, 502,000/. ; Thomas Pearson, 265,000/. • Hiscock and Williams, 3t4,700/. ; Brassey and Co., 30.5,000 1 . ;A. W. Ritson, 2 19,0001. • Joseph Thackeray, 320,000/. ; and Wm. Webster, 268,0001. Upon the motion of Mr. Legg, the board resolved itself into a committee (from which the public were excluded), to consider which of the tenders should be accepted. Barley fetched 535. a quarter in last Salisbury market. The pale ale brewers are about to advance their pices 6s. per barrel, chiefly in consequence of the high price of barley. From the seine cause, also, pig meat will be scarce and dear, notwithstanding that the acorn crop is a good one. In the south-west of England beans are growing out, and mutton, it is expectcd,will be before long per lb. SERIOUS FIRES IN LONDON.—(THIS DAY.)—Be tween 2 and 3 o'clock this morning a fire, attended with a pad loss of property, occurred in the private mansion of Mr. Franklin, No. 13, Albion-road, Holloway-road. The premises contained nearly a dozen rooms, expensively krnished. Conductor Ward being told by mistake that some of the residents were still in the house, he entered one of the upper rooms, but was immediately prostrated, sad laid eo until conductor Garner came up and brought him down. The premises, with the costly contents were destroyed, and the roof of No. 14, belonging to Mr. Russell, much burnt. Another serious fire took place shortly before midnight in the premises belonging to Mr. Thurgur, hoot and shoe manufacturer, No. 123, East-street, Walwortb. The whole of the premises were destroyed, end Nos. 123 ()m -iming to Mr. W. Renick), 121 (H. Holland), 127 (C. navies, a grocer), were also damaged. The principal losses sill fall upon the Norwich Union, Commercial Union, and Phenix Fire-offices. . _ THE CROPS IN IRELAND.—The fine weather of the past few days has inspired a more cheerful spirit in the reports of our correspondents this week. Generally, they agree in stating that the grain has not, to a great extent, suffered irreparable mischief from the continuous rain. That portion of the crop which remained uncut has fared best, and the com plaints of " sprouting " among the stooks, we are glad to see, are not numerous. By this time, almost all the grain is down, and by the close of the present week there will be but a small portion remaining in the fields. With a continuance of fair weather and a dry atmosphere, the prospects of the farmer will not be so gloomy as was apprehended a sh or t ti me s i nce . Th e exten t of the dis tille in the potatoes is not yet known, as a grester quantity than usual at this month is still in the ground, sad the raising of the crop will be delayed for some time yet by the lateness of the rest of the harvest. It is to be observed, however, that the price is still keeping up, from which we may infer that the farmers themselves are not much alarmed on the subject ; otherwise they would rush them in such quantities on the market as to have caused a fall ere this. It is stated in some instances that the flag is turning out satisfactorily in the mills, but the reports are too scanty to found a conclusion as to the general character of the yield. The root crops of all kinds are most luxuriant.—Northern IVhig. ROME AND SCHOOL EDUCATION. —The Rev. Dr. W. E. Jeff thus writes in the new number of the Contrm perery Reritic of home and school education :--" The case, then, between home and school education, as far as we have considered it, stands thus. At school he is early in troduced to the realities and trials of life ; ho is brought into contact with others of the same age and position as himself, but bound to him by no particular ties ; he learns that he has to fight his own w ry in his miniature world, and learns how to do it ; he learns his strength and his weaknesses ; he is taught to form his own plans and order his own actions ; he is taught self-confidence and self dependence ; be leans to discern character, and adapt him self to others ; he is brought into competition, and thus has a stimulus which a boy at home has not ; he is thrown into sundry temptations ; if he triumphs over them he comes out of them with increased strength for the battle Of life ; but it is a perilous trial ; it is like throwing a boy into deep water to teach him to swim ! If a boy is kept at home, he is not necessarily exposed to these temptations at as age when the force of ridicule and the influence of example are strongest ; be is not removed from the in fluences of home feelings and affections in his every-day 1 4, which, generally speaking, are motives and guides to teed ; he is far less in danger of falling from good habits earl falling into bad ones ; he may be trained andencouraged is habits of devotion ; his sense of honour is less likely to be broken down ; his training, both moral and intellec -149, may be made more personal and individual, the weak plats more carefully strengthened, the holes more care e stopped, the strong points more brought out ; his "elk may undoubtedly be made more interesting to him— " least, there is a possibility of its becoming so ; his mi n d "4 be led to general literature and stored with general ,_ kl oiledge, of whi c h n i ne t y - n i ne sc h oo lb oys out o f a " edred are utterly ignorant ; he may be introduced to tallith poetry arid history ; he may be taught modern , either by a residence abroad or tuition at borne; lafe s ,the interval s of his home work—that is, in what would school vacations—the facilities of travelling, at home or may introduce him to scenes and places and per !ea which will suggest new ideas and develop dormant nets within him ; if school vacations were thus ems '" 76,1 1 the schoolboy would know nothing of his home."

MARK-LANE.-{THIS DAY.) The show of English wheat in to-day'. market was very moderate, and in but middling condition. All kinds moved off slowly, but at prices quite equal to Monday. There was a fair demand for foreign wheat, chiefly for mixing purposes, and late rates were well supported. Floatms cargoes of grain aupporsed the recent advance in the quotations. Fine barley was in short supply and steady request, on former terms. Inferior parcels commanded very little attention. The malt trade was firm at extreme quotations. The supply of malt was only moderate. Oats were quite as dear as on Monday. The demand for them was steady. Beans sold at very full priors, with a moderate demand. The transactions in peas were limited, on former terms. The flour trade was firm. No change took place in the value of either sails or cakes. CURRENT PRICES ENGLISH. Per Qr. & & WHEAT.

Public securities remain fiat, and prices have experienced a fresh fall. The unfavourable cha racter of the returns of the Banks of England and France have tended to increase the disposition to effect sales, although the changes shown are usual at this period. Console and some of the foreign bonds have declined per cent. Italian, of 1861, are again slightly lower, notwithstanding the announcement that the treaty of peace between Austria and Italy has been actually signed. In the railway market the most important movements are a rise in London, Chatham, and Dover, and a further reduction in Metropolitan. Banking and financial shares have been very little dealt in, and the tendency of quotations is still downwards. Hudson's Bay are somewhat worse. Preparations for the monthly settlement in the funds have com menced. There is no new feature in the money market, the supply being still large, and the demand moderate. The rate for choice paper is 4} per cent., with exceptional transactions at Loans till Monday on English government securities are obtainable in the Stock Exchange at 3to per cent. The changes in the weekly return of the Bank of France comprise an increase of 1,010,000 L in the bills discounted, and a decrease of 525,000/. in the coin and bullion. Consols are now quoted 891 to f for money, and 891 for the 9th inst. Foreign securities are dull, but prices generally have not varied, in the absence of business. Mexican Bonds and Italian of 1861 have declined per cent., but Turkish of 1865 present a recovery of t. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 54 to 55 ; ditto, 1866, 301 to ; Greek, 14i to 16 ; Spanish Passive, 22 to t ; ditto Certificates, 147 to ; Italian of 1861, 551 to ; and Mexican, 16 to t. American securities are in demand, at an im provement. 5-20 Bonds have risen per cent. ; Erie Railway shares, 2} ; and Illinois Central, f. The present quotations are as follows :-5-20 Bonds, 70# to # ; Erie Railway shares, 81 it to 52 ; and Illinois Central, 78 to f. Anglo-American Telegraph shares exhibit a fresh reduction of 55., being quoted 161 to #. Atlantic Telegraph, however, are steady, at 51 to 4. International Financial shares are quoted If to 11 die. ; London Financial, 16 to 15 dis.; =enteral Credit, 21 to 2 die. ; Credit Foncier, 4i to 41 die. ; and National Discount, 81 to 9 prem. Telegrams received from Bombay announce the stoppage of the Asiatic Bank Corporation, with liabilities amounting to about 3,500,000/. The creditors, however, are expected to be paid in full, the shareholders being liable for double the amount of their shares, under the terms of the royal charter granted to this undertaking. The public have not yet digested the large amount of new securities created during the last two or three years, and consequently manifest little dis position to support prices by investments: Specu_ lators for a fall are taking advantage of the distrust which recent events have generated in the public mind, and are pressing sales of most of the princi pal home railway stocks. The amount of gold sent into the Bank yesterday was 20,0601., chiefly sovereigns, from Brazil. The steamer Tanjore took yesterday only 6,3001. in specie, of which 1,8001. is for Alexandria, and 4,5001. for Hong Kong . The Great Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1,872/. over the corre sponding week of 1865 ; the Great Eastern, an in crease of 4141.; the Great Northern, an increase of 1,9221. ; the North Eastern, an increase of 2,7461. ; the Lancashire and Yorkshi;e, an increase of 2,135/. ; the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, an increase of 1,2741.; the London and South Western, a decrease of 8811. ; the North British an increase of 1,749/.•, the London, Chatham, and Dover, in chiding the Metropolitan Extension and branches, a decrease of 3451; the Metropolitan Extension, a decrease of 1271. ; and the Kent Coast, a decrease of 5001. The traffic receipts on the Atlantic and Great Western Railway for the second week in September amounted to 160,635 dollars, against 122,048 dollars in the corresponding period last year, showing an increase of 44,587 dollars. The total receipts for the first two weeks in September amounted to 289,995 dollars, against 204,010 dollars in the like period of 1865, exhibiting an increase of 25,985 dollars. The Stock Exchange Committee hare appointed Monday, the Bth inst., a special settling day in the shares of the Mont Cenis Railway Company (Limited), which are to be marked in the twice a week list. It is stated that a number of shareholders in Smith, Knight, and Co. (Limited), following the example of the sufferers from similar disastrous concerns, are proposing to form a defence associa tion. _ _ _ An extraordinary general meeting of the Great Eastern Steamship Company (Limited) is called for the 9th inst., at the London Tavern, " to con sider and determine upon the steps to be taken with respect to the 2.500 shares in the Anglo- American Telegraph Company (Limited), held by this company, and the 50,0001. in ordinary stock of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, to which this company is entitled under the charterparty of the Great Eastern, dated the 25th day of May last ; to declare a dividend ; to fix the remuneration of the directors for their aervioes since the formation of the company, and for such other business as may occur." _ _ . vv The first general meeting of the Merchants Com pany (Limited) was held yesterday. The report, which was adopted, stated that the undertaking has suffered from the effects of the financial and commercial panic, but the directors are glad to be able to add that the actual losses made, or even anticipated, aro not in themselves serious. The directors have in view the reconstruction of the company on a basis uhich will not increase the liabilitiy of the shareholders, whilst it will in the opinion of the directors place the concern on a sounder and more satisfactory basis. It appears that several holders of Metropolitan Railway Extension shares propose to apply to the Court of Chancery next term to enforce specific performance of the contract alleged to be made by the Metropolitan Railway Company with the Ex tension shareholders on the Bth February, 1865, under which the Extension shares were issued, and by which the company are held to have bound themselves to admit the Extension holders to divi dend in common with the original shareholders, out of the current income of the Metropolitan Rail way, from the Ist of January next. The facts are understood to be as follows :—The Extension capi tal (in all, 1,900,0001.) was raised under the Nut ting-hill and Tower-hill Extension Acts of 1864, chapters 291 and 315 respectively. By both acts, the company were empowered to define by resolu tion the conditions, as to dividend and amal gamation, on which tlicse Extension shares should be issued, the acts providing that " such conditions shall •be expressed in the resolutions of the company creating those shares." The resolutions accordingly passed on the Bth February, 1865, and forming the endorsement on the share certificates, provide that from the end of December next the Extension holders " shall be entitled to dividend in common with the holders of existing ordinary shares or stock, but limited in, their case, for the first three years, to the rate of six per cent. per annum ;" and that on the Ist of January, 1870, the Extension shares then fully paid up shall be amalgamated with the ordinary stock. It is urged that these resolutions entitle the Exten sion holders to dividend out of the current income of the existing railway from the Ist of January +~ 104 28 1 il ... i 2 fit 61 2ik 123131 101 2 7 161 In 17 iis4lse 44 in 201 II 80 42 40111 117} I I 1 01 i ? 9 t_ 00 i t _ Mt sd i t 27 30 310330 -. 94 zd tOr id lei 107 e 10 16j 17 141 - —d% next. The directors, however, have now informed the inquiring holders of Extension shares, that these dividends will be found by the contractors until the two Extension lines are opened for traffic—en ar rangement which would amount probably to a ibng postponement of the alleged right of the Extension holders to share in the profits of the company. The case has been submitted by a legal firm of standing to counsel, whose opinion is that " the terms of the acts of parliament appear conclusigelY to establish the right of the holders of Extension shares to receive dividends not exceeding 6 per cent. per annum. after the lit of January Mx!" partpasse with the ordinary stock out of income. " The third call of 2/. 10s. is to be paid on the second issue of 95/. shares of the London and River Plate Bank (Limited), by the 31st inst. The return of the Bank of England for the Week ending Wednesday, Oct. 3, compared with &at for the previous week, shows the following changes: Circulation issue £30,906,910 Increase £3694100 Circulation active 24,335,630 Increase 1,263,966 Public deposits 6,169,451 Decrease 3119,732 Other deposits Government securities in banking department 12,219,043 Decrease Other securities in be department 22,941,313 Increase 1,180,300 Coin and bullion in both 385 departments Seven day and other bills 660,323 Increase 83,338 The Rest 4,111,404 Increase 3,160 Notes in reserve Total reserve (notes & coin) in banking department 7,543,507 Decrease 1,136,000 Fur the first time since the commencement of.the fall in the rates of discount, the Bank's accoents gi o evidence of a distinct revival of the demand for money, as shown by the increase of 1,189,3501. in the advances on private securities. This move ment is doubtless due in part to the rapid redao tion in the Bank's charge, but it is only such as is usual in the closing week of each quarter, and the probability is that, as the dividend period draws near, the Bank's business will fall off. This view is confirmed by the fact that the rate of discount in the general market has again descended below the Bank minimum. But, however this may be, the sudden demand has caused a diminution of 1,136,090.'. in the reserve, the draught upon the Bank for advances not having been made up io it by any influx of deposits. The decrease of 219,7321. in the government deposits is attributable to the payment of salaries and other quarterly accouhts. As usual at this season, a large amount of coin has been transmitted to the provinces, and the conse quence is, that though 509,000/. of newly imported. gold was sent into the Bank during the week, the increase iuthe enn and bullionabove shown is only 149,8751. It must be borne in mind, however, that the sum representing the difference remains in the country. BAN% OF I An Acenunt pursuant to the Act week• cu.iing on Wednesday.

Little rain has fallen d tne last ten days, and the ground is becoming firm. uri a the time is not very favourable for harvest work, as the at mosphere is generally dull, and there is a want of drying winds. Slow progress is therefore made in carrying ties oat crops, but great quantities have been rendered oces paratively secure by Tickling. It is better to Holds and wait with patience, than to run any risk in sash close weather by stacking grain in rather soft condition. In the lower districts farmers are beginning to take up tie remainder of their potatoes. The appearance of the when raisedis no worse than might have been anti • from the diseased state of the shaws. On light we see about one-fourth put into the diseased heaps, and we. bear of instances in which the loss exceeds one-half ea strong land. From the heavier rainfall, the loss is pretty sire to be greeter in the uplands than it is in the neigh bourhood of Ayr ; but the extent of the damage will not be known for another week or two, as the disease has not run its course in the case of late crops--Ayr ddrer:aer.
