The hrst case wax that of Margaret Condon, aged 4ii, a . liars unuu, who lived with her brother, at 3d, '..:rown -dreet. She was au inveterate drunkard, and for the put. rio+e of satisfying her morbid appetite, sold the clothes from 11.1 hack and the shoat frost her feet. During the told weather she was attacked with • cough and bronchial affection, and mi the 24th ult. was removed to the St. Dile:. Workhouse, but ow her arrival there she we. found dead in the chair. Mr. H. Bennett, the infirm-try sumo°, made a punt mortem examination, and found death to have been the result of c.ougestion of the lunge and brain and inflammation .4 the bronchial tube+. She had been a victual to interupeninee, accelerated by the cold weather. Venlir•t—" Death from natural causes.' The second case was that of A remarkably fine child, gamed Geo. J. Brown, aged two months, the son of respect. able people living at 10, Great St. Andrew-street. This wan a death from suffocation, arisiog from the natural desire of the mother to protect her child from the cold while lynx; in bed.

The annual meeting of the proprietors w•as hal at the Lemke llock•houee, Bank•bmldiege ; Mr. M tertian i• the chair. The report, which was read by the Secretary (Mr. T. 1 , ( 3 1.1 . gritrei said :—" The number of loaded Mips from 'metre ports which entered the dock during the six months ending the 10th of November last was 484, measuring 106,138 tons. The number for the corresponding period of 1460 was rO4, measuring 244.567 tons. The amount of earnings during the six months ending 30th Nov. last has been 206,0461. 6e. 4d. ; the amount for the mires. ponding period of 1659 was =AV& ltie. 4d. The amount of expenditure for the six months ending 30th Nov. last hos been 162,5391. Ss. 3d. The amount for the corre. speadieg period in 1869 wee 166,1341. 6e. By the statement of the Amcor:iota for the half year now laid before the meeting it will be seen that the balance standing at the credit of profit and lass is 136,6321. 3s. 64., out of which the directors recommend the payment of • dividend of 11. 2s. 6d. per cent. on the company's stook for the half year, amounting to 42,..401. Is. 11d., which will leave a kisce in favour of the company of 143,692/. Is. 7d. j The income tax will be deducted from the dividend. Of the balance standing at the credit of profit mad loss, the su.n of 161,1101. Ts. 7d. consists of the amount of outstanding charges doe to the ' company to goods in the warehouses. The stock of goods in the warehouses on the 30th Nov , 1859, was Hki.1427 tons ; at the same time last year it was , 102,874 tons. The directors are desirous of affording to the pro. primers a fuller eiphinatios than moral of the causes which during the last half.year appear to have led to a great fall. ing off in the tonnage of loaded vowels which entered the dock, as compared with the corresponding period of 1859. The fallin,i.off in the tonnage (continued the report) is mainly attributable to the circulation of reports that the Lenin Dock water injures the metal sheathing of ships, on which account the manufacturers of the article notified to the owners of ships, in the autumn of the year 1839, that they wee Id not continue to guarantee its durability as they formerly did. From the first prevalence of these reports the directors have spared no pains to invest*te the matter. They have obtained a volu minous body el evidence, showing that the premature decay thereof ersually occurs in cases where the vessels have never been MUM London Dock water, or in the port of London ; and they have the report of an eminent metallurgist, stating that the IMO decay has been observed for some time past to hike pMce in copper on her Majesty's ships, and is balkved by him to arise from the preeence of impurities in that article especially consequent on the importation of large quantities of foreign copper, and inasmuch as copper enters largely into the manufacture of metal sheathing, the inference is that the causes affecting copper produce similar injury in metal sheathing. The water taken from all parts of the dock has been chemi cally analysed weekly for many months pant, Heil it has been ascertained not to contain any ingredient cehulated to affect the metal sheathing of ships. The di. rectors are, therefore, now enabled to assure the proprietors and the public that the decay in the metal sheathing of ship' is in no way attributable to the dock water, but arises from totally different causes. The prejudicial mortis a lluded to have interrupted the progreasive increase in the tonnage of that large clam of vessels fur the reception and accommodation of which the new entrance at ithadwell was specially intended. The diminution in the earnings from ships and goods is to a certain extent the necessary result of the falling-off in the ton sg The director, at the last meeting app ri sed the pew et tees, that acting in concert with the other dock companies, this company bad reduced the importer' rates on many articles of mer chandise to the extent of 20, and in some instances .4, per cent. —• reduction rendered necessary in order to meet the growing competition in charges to which these dock establishments are subjected. The effect of this reduction on the earnings has been considerable during the past half-year, whilst it is scarcely possible to estimate to what extent the measure bee prevented the removal of goods from ships ovenute." In the concluding part of the report, the directors stated that the expenditure was re ceiving their meat careful attention, ad that a committee had been constituted, whose special province it was to sug gest any improvement which might lead to a reduction. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the meet. expressed the deep regret of the directors at the fallingself in the receipts. It was, however, satisfactory to god that the reduction occurred almost eutinly is Yr last halflear.

The memorials for the clods( of the lane emanated from a section of the clergy,smthy, and tradespeople of Highgate. OBTAINING A RECEIPT WITHOUT PAYING. —A female named Lariat* wife of a wineshop keeper, of the itue Chabrol, at La Chapelle, was, on Saturday, tried by the Tribunal of Correctional Police for a singular offence. On the sth October last a wine dealer with whom her husband dealt went to demand payment of 1,0091., balance of a hill for goods supplied. She objected to three items, one of 9f., another of 724., and the third of 2501., as not due, and, after some discussion, the dealer consented to strike out that of 721., but retained the others. He then s4ned a receipt for the sum due, and the woman, whilst talking, took it up. After a while he asked her to give him the money, but she maintained that she had paid him, and positively refused either to give the money due or to restore the receipt. Under thew circumstaacei elle was accused of swindling. Her advocate contended that, admitting that what was stated was true, the act was not swindling, nor embezzlement, nor robbery, nor, in fact, anything punish able by law. But the Tribunal held that it was what Art. 401 of the Penal Code calls " a fraudulent taking of money," and it sentenced the woman to four months' im prisonment ; it also ordered that she should restore the receipt to the osuiplahmat.—adiriani, MONEY MARKE2.-aIIIS 041.) Two o'Cwcw.. The funds to-day are decidedly firm, although baldness is limited. Prices are now quoted about 1-16 per cent. higher than yesterday after noon. On the Paris Bourse the immediate ten dency is likewise favourable. Here, the principal buoyancy is in the market for British railway stocks, particularly Midland and Berwick, which have risen about 2 per cent. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Routes opened at 67fr. 55c., being per cent. better than yesterday. Consols are officially marked 92f, f t , and f, ez div., for the account (January• 10). The present quotation is 92 9.16 to 1. The official business report is as follows :—Bank Stock, 233 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 921, ; New Three per Cents., 921, ; Thirty Years' Annuities, ex piring in April, 1885, 16 3-16 ; India Five per Cent. stock, for account, 101, es div.; ditto Bonds, 10s., 6s. die ; Exchequer Bills, par, 38. dia. Foreign stocks are steady. The Turkish Loan of 1864 is quoted 701 to 71, and that of 1858, 561 to 571. This department is generally quiet. Sales are recorded as follows :—Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 1001, 101 ; Maxima Three per Cents., for account, 211 ; Portuguese Three per Cents., 1856, 1857, and 1859, 44,1, ex. dir. ; ditto for account, 44 ; Russian Four-and-a-Ralf per Cents., 921, 1, 93, ex div.; Spanish Three per Cents., 491, 48i ; Turkish Six per Cents. c 1854, for account, 70: ; ditto Six per Cents., 1868, for ac count, 57, 1; Venezuela Three per Ceuta., for ac- I count, 201. Foltz O'CLOCK. Console are flatter ; the present quotation is 92f to 4, ex div., for the account, being 4 per cent. lower than at 2 o'clock. The telegraphic statement that Russia has just contracted a home loan of 100,000,000 roubles is understood merely to mean a continuation of the measures for consolidating the existing floating obligations of that empire. The payments for the loan are, doubtless, to be made in the existing paper, which will thereby be funded. The supply of English Government Three per Cent. stock as well as of Exchequer Bills, is being diminished by some considerable withdrawals on account of the deposit of 600,0001. or 700,000(., which is required to be made by the 15th instant, on the railway and other bills now pending in parliament. it is of course more advantageous to deposit stock than money, as in the latter case the interest will be lost for, perhaps, air or seven months. A further sum of 36,0001. in Australian gold, by the Great Britain, was taken to the Bank yesterday, while, on the other hand, 60,000 sovereigns were withdrawn for exportation to New York. Of the residue of the gold by the Great Britain about 60,0001. is known to have been purchased for transmission to Paris and Spain, and the rest, it is said, will be refined here, after which its destina tion will be determined. None of the gold recently arrived appears to have been bought on account of the Bank of Prance. The steamer Canadian, which left Liverpool yes terday for Portland, took about 13,0001. in specie. Messrs. Whistler, Dawson, and King. wholesale grocers and colonial produce agents, of Fenchurch street, have stopped payment. Their liabilities may perhaps range between 20,0001. and 26,0001. There has been some irregular dealing with a sum of 4,0001. by a junior partner. The Eastern Countieli Railway traffic return shows this week, an increase of 1,2962.; the Midland an increase of 4,3901. ; the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, an increase of 868/. ; the North Eastern, an increase of 4,0491, and the Lancashire and Yorkshire, an increase of 1,2571. The half-yearly meeting of the Brighton Railway Company is convened for the 28th inst., and will be made specal, to authorise the canoelment of all unissued shares and stock, and the creation of fresh securities. The halt-yearly meeting of the Australian Trust Company is called for the 30th inst. The liquidators of the Eastern Archipelago Com pany have called a meeting of the shareholders for the 15th instant, when they will submit an account showing the progress made in the winding up. The fourth call of 3/. is to be paid on the shares in the Cape Town Railway and Dock Company by the 31st inst. The dividends are advertised on Wilmington and Raleigh Railroad Bonds. We are informed that the Oriental Bank Corpo ration have been appointed the hankers in India of the Rut India and London Shipping Company (Limited). The report of Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite is sub joined The market in London for American securities has been very 'toady during the past week ; quotations are almost without alteration ; the tendency is, however, towards im provement. Illinois shares and Erie shares are very 6nu, closing buyers at 24 discount and 3 i respeotively. THICINDAY EVIIIRSCL Consols, which closed yesterday at 92a to *ex div., for the 10th January, opened this morning at the same quotation, and closed at 92* to a,.

Exchequer Bills remain steady, at 4s. dis. to par. India Bonds were dealt in at 10s. to 54. die. In the market for bank shares the principal fea ture was a rise in English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered. There was also a good demand for Bank of London, which were firm at 51 to 52. Bank of EArpt were flatter. There were inquiries for Electric Telegraph stock. The closing quotations for shares in new under ' takings to-day were as follow :--Ocean Marine In- I surance, 3i to 4 prem. ; Thames and Mersey Marine, If to prem. ; Universal Marine In surance, 1 3-16 to 5-16 prem. ; London and Pro vincial Marine, par to prem. ; East India Irriga tion, 3-16 to 1-16 dis. ; East India and London Shipping, g to a prem.; and Great Kanawha, I to Prem.

There is an active demand for United Mexican Mining shares, which have risen considerably, being last marked 3i. There is also an improve ment in St. John del Rey, which have been dealt in at 271. GRACE DARLiNG'S FAMILY.—The venerable Wil liam Darling, who has passed the greater part of his long life upon the outer Fern Island, or Longstone, on the bleak coast of Northumberland, as keeper of the lighthouse, and who is best known to fame as the father of the heroic Grace Darling, has been pensioned off be the corporation of the Trinity House, London, and has lett the Fern Islands, in order to reside with his only surviving daughter at North Sunderland. Mr. Darling is inmeeded at the Loogatene by his son, Mr. William Darling, and another of his children, Mr. Brooks Darling, is keeper of the Coquet Island light house, also on the Northumbrian coast. A singular case of concealment of sex is reported from Wigan. An old " man" nameet John Murphy, aged 97, died there last week, and after the decease it was found out that John Murphy was really a woman of the same of Betty Lavin. She Lad been thus disguised fur a period of 50 ran. COJ,VIERCIAL AND MARKETS. MARIE-LA;fK.-(T#D3 DAY:) Frost has re-set in with greater intensity, and a long con tinuance is anticipated.

Bennett and hie lady, accompanied by a friend, were returning to Kelvedon from Rivenhall Rectory, on Tuesday evening. owing to the darkness of the night and the flooding of the road near Rivenball Fox. the carriage was driven into deep water, and their lives were placed in great danger. Happily their cries of distress were heard by some men, who promptly came to their rescue, and conveyed them on their backs to land. Had the car riage progressed a yard further, the party, in all prolbabi lity, would have met with • watery grave. —Chelassford Chronicle. DEATH of SOUTH AFRICAN MIRAIONARIEB.--•• A letter from the intrepid missionary, Robert Moffat, to the London Missionary Society, communicates some mournful intelligenoe. It is dated from Kunimure November 12, 1860 It is only four days since I forw arded a letter to you, which contained all the information which had then reached us respecting the Makololo brethren. It was favourable ; but, alas ! Helmore, the amiable, the un wearied, and apostolic Helmore, and his devoted wife, are now no more inhabitants of this lower world. This distress ing intelligence has just reached us by one of our people, who had been on au elephant bunt as far es the Victoria Falls on the Eambeze. He there met with some people from Linyanti, who, when naked respecting the welfare of the missionaries, replied, in the phraseology of the country, that they were all dead with the fever; and, commencing with the name of the first victim, said Melmore died, then his wife, next two of bit children; then the suckling of Mrs. Prise ; the next was Malatsi, a man of this station, Mr. P.'s waggon driver ; the next Tat*, of Lekatlong, who had accompanied Mr. Helmore to render him what assistauce he could ' • and the last that seems to have died was a servant of the Bak hstla tribe. The son of Tabs was in a dying state, and not affording the slightest hope of recovery. Just ten dayss after the relation of these events to Joseph Aaron (our in formant), Dr. Livingstone arrived at the Victoria Falls, ac companed by his brother and Dr. Kirk.
