Saturday. ;sasiness CORN EXCHANGE. METROPOLITAN RAILWAY COMPANY. (THIS DAY.) The leading country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat, yet the trade ruled heavy, at drooping prices. Fine barley realised full quo tations ; but other kinds were dull. Malt was unaltered. Oats, beans, peas, and flour ruled about stationary. Most of our foreign advices state that the business doing in grain on English account is very moderate, and that stocks of all articles are very low. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain were moderate. From abroad we received 15,82 i quarters of wheat, 11,601 bar ley, 49,550 cats, 594 beans, 990 peas, 9 tares, 8,558 lin seed, 2,265 rapeseed, 760 sundry seeds, and 372 sacks of flour. The half-yearly meeting of this Company was held this afternoon, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate street ; W. MALINS, Esq., in the chair. The report states that the Act for the deviation of the line was passed this session, and the Company were now empowered to construct the railway from Padding ton to the General Post Office. The whole capital has been subscribed, and the share register completed. The line was capable of extension so as to connect the rail ways on the north of the Thames with those on the south, and all with the post office and the city. The Directors in order to commence the works only await that more favourable aspect in the political and finan cial world which they trust may be shortly anticipated, and which will render less onerous to the shareholders the rapid calling up and prompt payment of the capital which the nature of the works will render imperative. The CHAIRMAN said they had been called together that day in conformity with the act of incorporation. The select committee of the House of Commons on me tropolitan railway communications hal not yet made their reports, hut he had heard from private and reliabie sources that the opinion of that committee would be found entirely in favour of this line as being the great scheme of the day, combin'ng all the objects the metropolis required. After adverting to the finan cial state of the company, which was very good, the ss. call having been found sufficient for their present re quirements, the Chairman said their probable next ex tension would be to the Eastern Counties Railway, and bring that line in communication with the City and West-end. He reviewed the present state of railway property, and expressed a belief that before many years had elapsed railways would be made a remunerative property, paying 6 per cent. Amongst the other pro jects laid before the select committee was the magnificent scheme of Sir Joseph Paxton, but the committee thought this (the Metropolitan line) the most practical and in every respect the best adapted to accomplish the great objects desired. He was ready to give every in formation connected with the accounts. Fresh up to-day the arrivals of English wheat, coast wise and by land carriage, were very moderate, and the show of samples was small. Although rather large quan tities of rain have fallen, the demand for all kinds of wheat ruled heavy, and, in some instances, prices were ls. to 2s. per quarter lower than on Monday last. There were a few samples of new white wheat on sale in various conditions. The finest white was quoted at Vs., the finest red 74s per quarter. Some of the samples weighed 641bs per bushel. The show of foreign wheat was good. All descriptions met a dull inquiry, and the quotations, when sales took place, were quite is. per quarter cheaper than on this day se'ennight. Floating cargoes, the arrivals of which have been small, were dull. The supply of English barley was small ; of foreign tolerably good. The sale for most kinds ruled heavy, and prices were the turn lower. Malt was in moderate supply and fair request, at full quotations. . We were heavily supplied with oats, and the demand for them rued heavy, at fid to is per quarter less money. In beans very little was doing, at barely stationary prices. _ _ - The inquiry for peas was heavy, and the rates had a downward tendency. Several parcels of new were on sale. The flour trade was dull, and the currencies had a down ward tendency. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Thanks were voted to the chairman and the directors, and the meeting separated. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. Last week's imports of foreign stock were tolerably good —tho total supply amounting to 8,867 head. 1 n the cor responding week in 1851 we received 9,703 ; in 1853, 10,973; in 1852, 13,005; in 1851, 19,101; in 1850, 7,212 ; and in 1849, 4,987 head. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COUBT.-(THIS DAY). The August season of the above court was opened this morning by the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, the Right Hon. the Recorder, Aldermen Salomon, Sir C , Marshall, Ennis, and Sir It. W. Carden, Mr. Sheriff Muggeridge, Mr. Sheriff Crosley, Mr. Under-Sheriff Farrer, and Mr. Under-Sheriff A. Crosley, &c. The first edition of the calendar contains the names of 144 prisoners. The Recorder, in his charge to the jury, said the pre sent was the heaviest calendar he ever remembered, and although there was this redemin point, that there was only one charge which involved the destruction of human life, yet there were a great number of serious and im portant eases to be disposed of, and he was afraid that their duties would be long and heavy. It did not ap pear to him, however, that, although the carves were of a serious character, they were likely to present any diffi culties to the grand jury, and, therefore, he felt that it was not necessary for him to detain them by making any observation in reference to those cases. There was one case, however, of so much importance; in a commer cial point of view, that he should not perhaps do rightly if he did not say a few words to the grand jury. The charge to which he referred was one against two persons named Davidson and Gordon, who were accused, in conjunction with another person named Cole, who had already been convicted of a similar offence, and was now under sentence; of having carried on a series o: frauds of the most extensive and serious cha racter upon the commercial community. These frauds were of so extensive a character that, but for tp high commercial character of the country, it might have really tended to have injured it in the eyes of the com mercial world, and it was absolutely necessary, if they were established against the parties accused, that an at tempt should be made to repress them by severe punish ment. He had rot bad an opportunitq of looking closely at the depositions that had been returned to the court in this case, but he believed the prisoners would be charged with baying obtained a large oum of - -money by- the de posit of forged warrants, also with having obtained goods three months before their bankruptcy in anticipation of that event, and also with combining with the man Cole, who, as he had informed them, was already under sen tence, to obtain money by false pretences. It appeared to him that, if there were anything like the amount of facts that were stated on the depositions there laid before them, they would be bound to find a bill, and leave the matter to be fully inquired into by the learned judge who would preside. He was unwilling to make any ob servations with reference to the conduct of other parties in the transaction on the present occasion, but he could not help observing that it was to be regretted that par ties of position, who were mixed up in the matter, had not taken steps entirely to put a stop to the practices of those parties, and that there could be very little doubt that, by their having neglected to do so, they had en abled them to carry on these frauds for a much longer period. The grand jury then retired. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. A female named Ann Standen, evidently suffering from distress of mind, was charged before the Lord Mayor with attempting to destroy herself by throwing herself off London Bridge on Tuesday last. The act was witnessed by police constable 536, and other per sons. The stream was running very strong at the time, and she was carried some distance down the stream towards Billingsgate, where she was received by some lightermen, and taken to St. Thomas' Hospital, where she had remained ever since. The poor woman who walked lame from the injury she bad received, said her husband had deserted her, and having no means of sup porting herself life had become such a burthen to her that she determined to put an end to her existence. The Lord Mayor after pointing out to her the enormity of her offence, ordered her to be discharged, and handed over to her friends. The prisoner, who cried bitterly, said she would take his lordship's advicejand refrain from attempting her life again. London N. West. L. &N. W. Caledon E. Un. E. C 7t. Nrtrm Caldonian Do Gt.

John and Mary Burke, brother and sister, were charged with fighting and creating a disturbance in Moor Lane on Saturday night. The prisoners had been drinking and fighting at the White Horse, Moor-lane, and when they were turned out at 12 o'clock at night they commenced fighting in the street. They were taken in charge by Police-constable 150. The woman, who was very drunk, behaved in a violent manner, re quiring the assistance of four men to take her to the station-house. At the latter place she bit Police-con stable 130 on the arm. The male prisoner behaved quietly when taken into custody. Both prisoners are well known to the police. The female has been impri soned seven days almost every month for the last twelve months. _ Sir John Musgrove sentenced the female to twenty one days' imprisonment. The male prisoner was cau tioned, and disclarged. GREAT WEIGHT OF A PRIZE RAY.—A. four-shear Lei cester ram, the property of Mr. T.

From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up today were but moderate. In their general con dition, however, we observed a slight improvement. Tne primest breeds moved off steadily, ,at prices quite equal to those obtained on Monday last ; otherwise the beef trade was in a sluggish state, and the ourzencies were barely supported. The bullock supply from Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, &e., amounted to 1,100 Shorthorns ; from Norfolk 300 Scots ; from o';her parts of England 400 of various kinds, and from. Scotland 130 Scots. were bni., moderately supplied with sheep in, for the most part, middling condition. The demand, however, for all breeds was in a sluggish state, and, in some instances, prices had a downward tendency. The top figure for Dowr3 was ss. per 81bs. Lambs, the supply of which was by no means extensive, moved off slowly, at a decline of from 2d. to 4d. per 81bs. We had rather a slow inquiry for calves, at barely late prices. Pigs sold heavily, at barely late rates. Per Sibs to sink the offals. s. d. s. d.l s. d. s d.

Although rather more business has been tr ,nsacted in hops of the growth of 1854, no improvement has taken place in the quotations, which rule 71. to M. per cwt. Very favourable accounts continue to reach us from the plantations, and the duty is called 270,000/. to 280,000 t. No foreign hops arrived last week. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. No supplies of foreign potatoes cane to hand last week, but the arrivals of English were very extensive, and in excellert condition. Although a large business is doing in all kinds, prices, from the extensive,nature.of the supplies, zre drooping. Inferior qualities are Not worth more than from 2s 3d to 2s 6d ; prime do, 3s to 4s per cwt. WOOL. Since the close of the ptblic sales, scarcely any business has been transacted in any kind of wool, and the quota tions are almost nominal. To effect large sales cf English wool lower rates must be submitted to. Ths imports last week were 543 bales from Portland Bay, 200 from the Cape, 730 from Algoa Bay, 600 from Bombay, and IC3 from various other quarters. The following are the current rates of English wool : South Down flocks, is Old to is lid ; mixed tegs and ewes, is Ijd to is 3t,d ; half-bred hoggets, is 21d to is 3d ; do. ewes and wethers, is ld to is 2d ; Swinton fleeces, mixed; is ld to is LLd ; Kent, fine, is ld to is 12d"; Lei cester fleeces, is 0:y1 to is ld; flannel wool, is Od to is 3d; blanket wool , B,ld to is Oid per lb. SEEDS. There has been a fair inquiry for rape and trefoil, at fell quotations. Moat other seeds command full prices. Cakes rule inactive, but we have no change to notice in their value.

Sir John Bowring, instead of pillaging a province, h as ma d e a commercial treaty with an empire. Instead of irritating a susceptible people into a quarrel as a pretext for vio• lence, he has, by the exertion of great personal qualities, obtained their ready acquiescence in proposals honour able to both countries. Had he done the other, the old order of things would have been that a baronetcy should be despatched to him in hot baste, and by return of post. ud . :s It remains to be seen whether, under the present admi- i The foundation - stone of anew jge nidtralion, the contrariety of b ig conduct will have for- ' lodgings, &c., has been laid at Taunton by the loft felted haisk is cis. —Manaato.

The Black Eagle Admiralty steam-yacht, Master Com mander Petley, after accompanying the Queen's squad ron from Osborne towards Boulogne, returned to Ports mouth harbour on Saturday afternoon to replenish coal. The Lords of the Admiralty are expected at Portsmouth this evening to make their annual inspection. The new screw three-decker Marlborough, 131, was taken out of dock at Portsmouth on Friday night, and placed in the steam basin to get in her maokinery. Mr. Bean, master of her Majesty's ship St. Vincent, at Portsmouth, em barked in the steam-tug Pigmy on Saturday to lay down moorings at Alderney. She sailed in the evening, tow ing the Lively and Duck lighters and the buoy-boat. The Gibraltar steam-transport, No. 183, left Spithead on Friday evening for Woolwich, to discharge condemned stores from the Crimea. The frigate-built Indianian Blenheim, Captain John Atkinson, arrived at Spithead from the Thames on her way to Calcutta on Saturday morning with detachments of the Bth, 35th, and 81st Regiments. This was the only ship in possession of Spithead on Saturday and yesterday. She is to sail on Wednesday. Lieut.-Colonel Mills, of the 7th Royal Fusiliers, died at Portsmouth on Saturday evening. The deceased offi cer returned from the Crimea only a few days ago, and landed at Portsmouth from one of the transports. The Earl of Durham steam-transport, No. 230, arrived at Spithead from the East yesterday afternoon at five o'clock. She left Balaklava on the 18th of July, and Constantinople the 24th. On Thursday, the 26th, she received orders from the commander of her Majesty's ship Vulcan to render assistance to the bark Hirundo, transport No. 3, with French troops on hoard, having been ashore, and still in a dangerous position, on the north-west of the island of Zea. She towed her off into safety, and at 4 p.m. again received orders from the Vulcan to tow the brig Malo, " with mules on board and short of water," up the Dardanelles (being bound for Balaklava) as far as Cape Abydos, to a place called Chanalla, where she arrived on Tuesday, the 28th, left on the 29th, Malta on the 13th inst., and Gibraltar on the 11th, bringing a mail from that station. The Saxon steam transport arrived at the Rock at 6.30 p.m. on the 12th ; on the same day, 80 miles east of Cape St. Vin cent, the Earl of Durham exchanged numbers with the screw steamer Sheldrake and an English barque showing the second distinguishing pendant 8,563, from Cardiff for Constantinople ; on the 14th, off the Rock of Lis bon, the English brig Ayrshire Lass, steering south ward ; the steamer Leipsic, Colburn, master, 9 days from London, with railway trucks, &c., for Balaklava ; and the steam transport Holyrood, Fudge, master, 8 days from London, with shot and shell for Balaklava. She arrived at Gibraltar on the 10th inst. Just before the invalids who came home in the Great Britain from the Crimea were landed on Saturday at Portsmouth, Major Anderson, R.A., the officer in charge, presented Dr. Gilmour, the medical officer of the Great Britain, who had medical charge of the invalids from Scutari, with a letter thanking him for his constant at tention to and skilful treatment of the invalids who had been under his care since the vessel left Scutaria. Only one man died out of nearly 200. Dr. Gilmour also re ceived a similar testimonial from the officers of the French troops (1,644 men) conveyed from Marseilles to Karol esh in the Great Britain, who were under his medical charge. A correspondent at Southampton, in a letter from Gibraltar dated the Bth of August, has received intelli gence of the arrival at that port of the General Screw Company's steam-transport Jason, Capt. N. Stewart. The Jason left Southampton for the East on the 2d inst. with 290 men and 219 horses of the Royal Artillery, ord nance stores, &c., and experienced during the voyage mode rate weather with head winds. On the sth inst. a gunner of the Royal Artillery fell overboard, but by the speedy lowering of a boat his life was saved. One horse died on the passage, but all the others remained healthy. The Australian steam-transport Adelaide, Captain Young, which left Southampton for Woolwich on the 19th ult., passed the Isle of Wight ca route to the Cri mea on Friday. The Adelaide has on board 13 officers, 63 men, and 30 horses of the Turkish Horse Artillery ; Mr. Dickson (surgeon), and servant ; Dr. Cockburn, servant, 1 horse, and Assistant-Surgeon Wells ; a de tachment of Sappers and Miners, consisting of 1 officer and 51 men, fer the Crimea ; 24 wardmasters and 1 schoolmaster, for Malta ; 14 wardmasters and orderlies, for Gozo ; 50 clerks and 1 servant of the Turkish Con tingent ; Major Brett and 12 pitmen, for Constantino ple ' • 5 officers and 115 men of the Royal Artillery, f or the Crimea ; about 600 tons of artillery stores, &c., be sides about 1,100 tons of coals. The Adelaide also takes out 4.000 Crimean medal-t. General Sir Robert W. Gardiner. K.C.8., late Gover nor and Commander-in-Chief at Gibraltar, accompanied by Lady Gardiner, is daily expected in London from Gibraltar, where the gallant General has been stationed six years, having succeeded the late General Sir Robert Wilson as governor. He was to leave Gibraltar on Tuesday last. The Rev. B. Hodgens (late curate of Deane) has been appointed a chaplain to the forces in the East, to serve at the Pirzus, and will sail for Malta this day. Several newly constructed mills, on wheels, with shafts, for the purpose of grinding corn for the army in the Crimea have just been forwarded them. A working party of artillerymen is employed on board the screw-transport Derwent, No. 241, embarking a cargo of Lancaster gun ,, , ambulance waggons, deal planks, &c. She is nearly ready for sea, and will most probably leave Woolwich to-day and go down to Greenhithe, preparatory to her departure for the Black Sea. The East Anglian screw collier is taken into the trans port service, and has cast anchor off Woolwich. She will forthwith embark her cargo for the Bllck Sea. The Hamburg steamer, Capt. Wm. King, from Grimsby, has likewise been draughted for the same service and desti nation. The latter vessel arrived at Woolwich on Sa turday. The Alecto and Bloodhound, docked about a fortnight back, are being fitted with all despatch, and are expected to be ready in a day or two for sea. The Dee will probably sail for Plymouth to-morrow with boilers and machinery. On Saturday about 120 men belonging to the newly raised Land Transport Corps left Brompton Barracks and proceeded to Lc ndon on their way to Horfield Bar racks, Bristol, where the corps is stationed. The whole of these men were volunteers from the Royal Medical Corps, which has completed its numbers. Major Boys attended at Brompton Barracks on Friday, where the whole of the volunteers were attested. They will pro ceed to the Crimea directly. The advanced guard of the depot of the 40th Regiment arrived on Friday morning from Naas, and took up their Quarters at Aldborough Barracks, Dublin. The depot consists of 200 men, with ten officers, under the com mand of Capt. Smith ; the service companies of the Regi ment are in Australia. The detachment of the 7th Dragoon Guards in Kil kenny, under the command of Lieut. Dettmar, have re ceived orders to join bead-quarters in Dublin this week, thence to proceed to England. Government has decided upon erecting barracks on an extensive scale at the foot of the new bridge at Race lagh, and the troops will be able to drill in the new park at Battersea. 150 recruits from the central depot of the British Swiss Legion at Schliestadt landed at Dover en Monday morn ing last, and marched into the Castle to be quartered. They are thoroughly drilled soldiers, many having served in the French Foreign Legion in Africa, and in the Neapolitan and Roman army. MILITIA. Saturday was appointed for transferring men from the lst Regiment of the Royal Surrey Militia to the line, when the corps were inspected, and, being asked whe ther any wished to leave for the regular army, 176 men stepped forward, and were draughted principally into the Rifle Brigade and the Royal Artillery. Later in the day 60 other men offered themselves for the Land Tran sport Corps, making a total of 430 men who have left this regiment for the regular army since November last. During the past week upwards of 20 of the West Sut folk Militia have volunteered into regiments of the line. In consequence of the drain from the country districts of the men into the Militia, it was feared that the shortne=B of hands would be severely felt in the agricultural die• tricts. In West Essex this difficulty has been removed by an offer on the part of the Lieutenant-Colonel Com mandant of the West Essex (10th) corps to allow any of his men to leave head-quarters for a limited time to assist the farmers in the harvest-field. On Friday the 112th (South Down) Regiment of litia left Dublin for the Curragh encampment. The Marquis of Downshire, Colonel-in-Chief, commanded and accompanied the regiment, the numerical strength of which upon leaving Dublin was 447 men and 21 officers. on Sunday Lieutenant-Colonel Wemys, Kilkenny Fusiliers, placed in the regimental orders of the day his resignation of the command of that corps. By the re tirement if Lieut.-Colonel Wemys, Major Tighe will be raised to the command of the Kilkennies. The North York Rifles being under orders to leave their head-quarters for the barracks at Bradford, on Fri day deposited their pair of colours in the parish church of Richmond, which had been presented to the regiment by the late Princess Amelia, daughter of his Majesty King George 111., and embroidered with her own hands. The regiment having been appointed by her present Ma jesty to be a rifle regiment, does not carry colours. The Clare Militia, 530 in number, will move from Clare to the Curragh. The arrival of the Armagh Mi litia, 600 strong, is also expected in the course of the week. ROYAL SURREY GARDENS. The Propietors of this popular place of recreation, in struction, and amusement, ever intent on presenting as much variety of entertainment as possible to their in nu mera,ble patrons and supporters , have succeeded, we understand, in securing the services of that prince of clowns and posturemasters, Mr. Flexmore, under whose tasteful directions a fctc . of a nature hitherto unattempted in this country, and of unexampled attractions, wi ll come off on Monday next.

The critical state of the War in Asiatic Turkey, and the probability that unless prompt and decisive steps are taken the whole of Anatolia will fall into the hands of Russia, render the appearance of a work like this exceedingly opportune, since it nar- rates the events of that unfortunate campaignwhioh had its disastrous issue at Kurekdere, and lays bare the causes of its ill-success, and the present state of things in a lively and effective mann er. in T t h he e author introduc es us t o the principal actors campaign, and while bearing cheerful testimony to the valour of the Ottoman soldier, and the triarchal simplicity of the Turkish peasant, attri butes the existing crisis to intrigue, the miscon duct and venality of the highest Turkish officers, and the oversight of the allies. The narrative of his adventures on his journey from Constantinople to the seat of war is rich in graphic and humorous illustration, and throws much light on the pecu...4l liarities of the country and the habits and mannerec of the inhabitants ; while his description of the" table lands of Armenia, and of the mode of life of the inhabitants possesses all the charms of skill and s n i e a l n t d y . Hi c o s q u r e e m n t a l r y k s t o o n T utrhkee yimportance l to , and the folly of suffering it to become a prey to the former power, are well worthy of notice ; as also his dissipation of the notion that Schamyl and his_ predatory b an d s are a bl e to lend the Allies any, appreciable aid. Rarely, in short, has a wor k ushered in with so few pretensions been more do se:vin,-,' of publi c favour, to which, in conclusion, we cordially recommend it. The Journal of Psychological Medicine.. .tohn: Churchill. Among the usual variety of papers relating to mental disease, those respectively headed "The Autobiography of the Insane," based, by the way, on " Scenes from the Life of a Sufferer ;" "Does any analogy exist between Insanity and Demonia cal Possession ?" and " On the connection between Morbid, Physical, and Religious Phenomena," will probably prove most generally interesting; The first presents many touching features ; and to the second an answer is given in the affirmative ; and in the third it is inferred that the philosophy of physical circumstances is largely and decisively recognised by Revelation, and that every hulas', mind is liable, at least, to morbid influences from physical causes. The " Case of Baranelli "is given in full, we suppose as an appendix, and medico-legally considered by the editor, who pro nounces his execution "a foul stain and a damned spot on the intelligence of the nineteenth century," and as likely to " do an incalculable amount of in jury to the advancement of the science of medico legal testimony in cases of alleged lunacy, and seriously retard the progress of British medical psychology." We should not omit to notice a valu able "Analysis of Guislam's work on Insanity," and a useful paper on " American Institutions for the Insane," containing numerous facts and figures. MYSTERIOUS MURDER OF A CITTLD. BRISTOL, Sunday Afternoon.—lntelligence was re ceived here this morning of a brutal murder having been perpetrated near this city. From inquiries made by correspondent on the spot, the following particulars have been ascertained : James Payne, a carpenter, in the employ of Mr. Eaglestaff, quarryman and contractor, resides with his wife and four chlidren in a row of cottages on the banks of the Avon, near the Black Rock, which is situated at the western extremity of Clifton parish. Last evening, between 7 and 8 o'clock, one of the children, a girl named Melinda, about eight years of age, was sent by her parents for some beer to Cook's Folly, a public house on Durdham-down. The distance of this tavern from Payne's house is about a mile ; and, as the child did not return by the time at which she had been ex pected by her parents, fears were entertained that she might have fallen over the precipitous rocks which form a continuation of the celebrated St. Vincent's Range. Search was made for some time, but was at last given up for the night, to be renewed this morning. Between 7 and 8 o'clock a younger brother of the deceased child discovered the body of his sister on a ravine known as the Black Rock-pulley, leading from Durham-down to her parent's house, and about 80 yards from their dwel ling. The poor child was covered with a quantity of stones, which being removed a frightful spectacle was presented. In addition to several marks, of vio lence about the skull and face (the left jaw being broken), her throat had been cut, and her right hand and arm, which were rigid, were held up as if she had endeavoured to protect herself from the brutality to which she had fallen a victim. It has been ascertained that the child went to Cook's Folley, as directed by her parents, and that the people who keep the tavern recollect the cir cumstance of her having been there, as they state they gave her two biscuits, one for herself and the other for her little brother. The fragments of these biscuits were found at the place where the murdered body was dis covered. Information of the murder having been con veyed to the police, Sergeant Phillips, of the Clifton di vision of the Bristol force, accompanied by some of the detective officacs, was despatched to the spot, and they are actively engaged in prosecuting inquiries into this mysterious and horrible occurrence. The body has been conveyed to the Black Rock public-house, in the immediate neighbourhood of the spot where it was found, and a coroner's inquest will in all probability be held to-morrow.
