CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Money continues plentiful in the general market, and the rates still show a downward tendency. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to £206,500, and the exports have reached i 717,000. There was a meeting yesterday of the creditors of Messrs. J. L. Smith and Co., West India mer chants. A balance-sheet, prepared by Messrs. Johnstone, Cooper, and Co., states the liabili ties at £30,692, and the assets at only £7,987. The deficiency, it was stated, was mainly owing to the depreciation of p) operty in the West Indies. A resolution was passed for liquidating the estate in the hands of trustees for the general benefit of the creditors. Two O'CLOCK.

A HORRIBLE LITERARY CURIOSITY.—There is ill the library of the Boston Athenaeum a thin octavo volume with the following title :—" Narrative of th e Life of Zames Allen, alias Jonas Pierce, alias James A. York, alias Burby Grove. The Highwayman. Being his Death-Bed Confession to the Warden of the Massa chusetts State Prison. Boston : Harrington & Co., Pub lishers, 1837." The startling peculiarity about the afore said volu.rue is this. After the death of Walton, his body Was given to the surgeons ; his skin was tanned ; and in this fearful leather, made from his own cutaneous integu ment, the narrative of the life of the highwayman is bound 11 P. A Latin inscription on tb.e cover states the horripilat intz' fact :—" Bic Liber Waltonis Cute compactus est."

Trafford and the Mayor of Salford, a young Woman named Elizabeth Benyon, 20 years of ege, was placed in the dock charged with the wilful murder of her awn child, a boy twelve months old. Sergeant Greenwood, of the county police force, said that from information he re ceived he on the 18th inst. went to a house in Eccles, where the prisoner had lodged. He there saw the prisoner, and said to her, "Elizabeth, you have a child, have you not ?" She replied that she had. Witness asked her where it was, and she then said, " I gave it to a woman on Tuesday night, near Hulme church. She was tall, and told me she lived at No. 9, Newton-street, Hulme." Gteenwood told her he should have to lock her up on suspicion of having destroyed the child, and about eleven o'clock the same night he spoke to the pi isoner and told her that the story she had given - was untrue. Prisoner then said, "I will tell you where 'the child is if you will not put me in those cells." Greens 'Wood told her he could not make any promise of that kind, 4 / I CI the prisoner said immediately after,'" I put it in the Water, and if you will go along with me I will show you where it wag," and added—"l should never have done i t but fo r a man who came along with me from Deansgate on the Ill raY home. He said I was to tie a stone round the child's `heck, and throw them both into the river, about two yards rem the bank, near Mode Wheel Mill; a distant church clock at the same moment chhumed twelve." Greenwood accompanied the prisoner to the place where she mentioned, and she pointed out the place where she had thrown the c hild into th e river, an d w h ere it w as afterwrrds found. witnes s found some pawn tickets on the prisoner relating ' t° Some baby's clothing. The prisoner, who seemed very dee ply affected by her position, wa s th en r emanded till Tuesday,, next. -cizisT INDIA FINANCE AND REVENUE ACCOUNTS. voluminous account was issued yesterday of the Alliance and revenue accounts of the Government of India for the year 1861.62.

A STORY OF THE BRUNSWICK FAMILY.—The hearing has just commenced in the Paris courts of a case in which a certain Madame de Civry, alleging her self to be the daughter of the Duke of Brunswick, claims a pension of 35,000 f, as alimony. The plaintiff's story is that the Duke in 1825 became acquainted in English society with a young lady of rank, Lady —, and under pretext of marriag e seduced her, t , ok her to the Duchy of Bruns. wick, and installed her in a chateau near the court, where on July 5 she gave birth to the plaintiff. The Duke's name, however, was not entered in the baptismal register as father, but he and Prince William of Brunswick were sponsors. Lady returned to England with her child, in whose education the Duke continued to take an interest till, at the age of 17, she became a Roman Catholic, when he aban doned her. She afterwards, in 1347, with his consent married the Count de Civry, in London—the marriage creat ing some talk in the fashionable world. In the announce ment of it she was stated to be the Daughter of the Duke and Lady --, a circumstance which added to his irrita tion. He never received either her or her husband, and, as they have now been reduced to poverty, this action, after many threats, has been brought. The Duke demurs to it, because, if the plaintiff claims by the law of France, he is not liable for her maintenance, since his name does not ap pear on the register as that of her father; and if she claims by the law of Brunswick, a father is not liable for the main tenance, of his natural child after 14 years of age. He also gave a different colour to the story. Plaintiff's mother was a Miss , who only assumed the name of Lady as a none de guerre, and the Duke met her, not in society but at the theatre. There was no seduction or talk of mar riage, and she voluntarily became his mistress. He denies that he quarrelled with the plaintiff on account of her change of religion. The rupture was occasioned by other reasons, and among them her extraordinary conduct in Paris, where she called upon his agent dressed up in man's clothes. Her marriage with M. de Civry was a speculation on the Duke's wealth, but it had the effect of increasing his displeasure with the young lady. He had not given his consent to it. He would not, however, enter into the reasons why he declined to give her money, but contented himself with the legal argument. THE " COURT JOURNAL."

Thomas, 26, Brydges-street, Covent-garden; and all news agents. THE PULPIT AND THE POCKET.—Mr. Spurgeon has just been in the "black country," and a calculation has been made of the pecuniary result. At Birmingham, the collections after two sermons, morning and evening, are stated to have averaged rather more than 5d from every person present; at Wolverhampton, after evening service only, rather more than 7d for each person ; at Dudley, after morning and evening service, nearly 81 At Bilston, after morning t:ervice only, with a great pressure for tickets, owing to the insufficient size of the room, the collection showed an average of more than 9d each person, The Chevalier de Chaielain believes with Vol taire that, " ho renders a service to his country who translates into its language the beauties of another tongue;" and animated with this belief, he has already translated with a graceful facility and a conscientious care, to which we have again and again had occasion to pay tribute, some of the chief beauties of English poetry. The book before us has evidently been a labour of love. M. de Chatelain tells 11F, in the introduction to this volume, that he feels an especial admiration for our English poets :-- " Parce man ;Hs oat beaucoup de jeunesse dans la penses, aussi beaucoup de profondeur, et de plus une naïveté toujonrs charmante." As an evidence of this admiration, ho has hare presented to his countrymen a charming collection of the " Itly-)ns " and "Reflets" of Eaglish verse. In this collection are translations from Burns and Campbell—" The Mountain Daisy" and " The Battle of Hohenlinden," Lord Byron's " Epitaph on a dog," Oliver Goldsmith's "Deserted Village," Chatterton's " Resignation," Coleridge's "Gene vieve," and many others of equal celebrity, together with a very copious selection from the works of our modern poets. In turning over these diversified pages we are fairly bewildered by the wonderful ease and facility displayed by the translator, and the versatility with which he adapts himself to every variety of style end subject— " From grave to gay, from lively to severe." As a happy specimen we quote some stanzas from the graceful translation of Mrs. Browning's " Wis dom Misapplied—" - _ LA SAGESSE MAL APPLIQUEE. 0 Papillon si j'etais toi Que j'eusse puissance de Roi Sur I'odorante fleur qui nait ou meure sous moi,— N'arreOrais certes mon aile Sur une fleur qui n'est que belle Mon amour serait Four la pensee immortelle. Dame Abeille si comme toi Pouvais creuser dans la paroi Des roses tout l' or.roiel qui rends de bon aloi, Aupres de I'homme, chose sate, N'irais point placer d'aventure Lea excellents produits de ma manufacture.

This extract will give some evidence of M. de Cha telain's charming style of versification ; but his singular aptitude as a translator can only be appre ciated by a glance through the varied contents of the volume itself. Adrian L'Estrange : or, Moulded out of Faults. One vol., pp. 319. Smith, Elder, and Co. " They say, best men are moulded out of faults" is the motto of this story, but assuredly Adrian L'Estranee is a very unsatisfactory specimen of the class. He is of a weak and vacillating character, like the son of the Patriarch of old—" Reuben, unstable as water, thou shalt not excel." He is first devotedly in love with Lilian Davenport, the daughter of a fraudulent speculator who is in concealment abroad. Then, through the machina tions of one Darcy Pierrepoint, the villain of the story, he is led to believe her faithless, and he en gages himself to Catherine Vernon, a very charm ing heroine, whose character is delicately drawn. A few days before the marriage, he meets with Lilian's sister and learns the details of a story of the highly sensational cast, of which madness and poisoning form conspicuous parts. He leaves his betrothed bride and hastens to seek his deserted Lilian in a lovely town in the North, and that epi sode of his career closes with a scene of true melo dramatic character, which afferds as much scope for tragic scenic effect as the " Colleen Bawn," or "Peep o' Day." The future fortunes of Adrian are worthy of one who has passed through such a catas • trophe. He travels for health and diversion of mind, takes part in the relief of Lucknow, and then, by a probable sequence of events, is wounded in the battle of Solferino! It is to be regretted that the author of this work, whose discrimination of character is clever, and whose descriptions are many of them happily and tenderly drawn, should have sought materials for interest of such a startling and improbable character. The heroine's Lilian and Catherine are beautifully sketched; so is Rachel Desborough ; while the cousins Lucy Eustace and Laura Medway are a gracefully contrasted pair. We do not see much of Lord Medway, but we hear quite enough to make ns glad to escape from his society. In the occasional comments respecting him, the peculiarities of his disagreeable, but not uncommon, character are cleverly hinted at. Darcy Pierrepoint, the evil genius of the tale, is somewhat overdrawn. The scene in which he learns from Adrian's father the history of his son's love for Lilian, and surprises from the mercenary General the secret of the Davenport's hiding place, is well described. A Profane Puff of the Bible. In a flagrant " puff preliminary" advertisement of a new edition of The Bible, the advertiser, who is apparently (judging from his maw', address, and style of writing) some Scotch relative of our esteemed "Jenkins" (for whom see Punch), and probably a Gaelic cousin of Mr. Thackeray's " Semmes," actually goes the length of thus profanely appealing to the aristocracy of England for en couragement to his enterprise—saying, among other pretty things : " A copy of this Bible has been presented to the Prince of Wales and the Princess Alexandria—through Lord Shaftesbury—who have been graciously pleased—especially the Princess, that brightest of orbs in the . firmament of living beauty express their high admiration of it." He then goes on as follows :—" I appeal first for patronage to that bright galaxy, of more than Circassian beauty, those fairy forms, cast in celestial moulds, whose meeds of praise poetry itself fails to find language to award—the Royal Bridesmaids. I solicit the honour of each of their names for copies. I appeal next to the Royal relatives, and the nobility and gentry of the country. Next, to a splendid array of, in most instances, self-made aristocracy —a class who have risen by their talents, energy, industry, and enterprise to the occupation of proud and meritorious positions—the Lord Mayors and Provosts, and Mayon; and Provosts of towns, and their ladies and daughters."

SUGAR STATISTICS. —A return made to Parlia ment, on the motion of Mr. Moffatt, gives the sugar statistics of Mt!. The total quantity imported into the United Kingdom was rather more than 10,200,000 cwts., being a decrease of 430,000 cwts. as compared with 1861, but an increase of above 1,000,000 over 1860. The decrease in 1862 is in sugar from the Mauritius, India, and Java, and the Philippine Islands. The produce of the Mauritius probably finds a better market in Australia than in Eng land. The supplies from India have decreased 50 per cent. since 1860. Those from the slave-owning countries have greatly increased. From Brazil we took above 1,250,000 owts. last year, being more than in 1860 and 1861 added together. The West Indies and British Guiana are pro greasing favourably; in 1860 they sent us 3,375,610 cwts. ; in 1861, 3,690,297 o w l s . ; in 1862, 3,864,771 cwts. The quantity of sugar entered for home consumption in the United Kingdom last year was 9,379,819 cwts., yielding to the revenue the - large sum of £6,215,346 net, an increase both in quantity and in money over 1861. This accomplished and popular pianist gage his annual concert on Thursday, at the Hanover-square Rooms, with great success. His skill and taste as a performer are too widely known to need criticism, and were fully displayed on the present occasion. Herr Kuhe played a Tema con Variazioni, by Mozart ; a sonata, by Beethoven, and other clas sical pieces, together with some of his own graceful and harmonious compositions. Prominent among these was the closing piece of the concert—a fan tasia entitled, " Homage a Meyerbeer," founded principally on the beautiful airs in the " Hugue nots." Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, Madame Sainton-Dolby, and Herr Reichardt were the voca lists, and, as they are all popular favourites, their performances gavegreats;ltisfaction. MadameDoiby sang an air by Blumenthal, which was well adapted to her voice; and Madame Sherrington a new song called " The Seamaid's Grotto," and Rhode's cele brated air with variations, with her usual brilliant execution and wonderful vocal skill. The two ladies did not sing the duet from " Jessonsla," which was set down for them, Madame Sherrington singing in its place a duet with Herr Reichardt, the only fault of which duet was its brevity. Herr Reichardt also sang the new song of his own compo sition which bids fair to become a concert favourite, " Love's Request," and a French rcmanza by Boildieu. Altogether the programme was well and carefully selected, and the performance went off with great eclat. The Late Debate in the House of Commons on Italy. FATHER CURCI'S POSITIVE DENIAL OF LORD PALMERSTON'S ASSERTIONS. LITERATURE. Rayons et Befiets : par le Chevalier de Chate lam. One vol., pp. 419. Rolandi. HERR KUHE'S CONCERT. CITY OF MEXICO. The city is situated at the bottom of a valley, 2,277 metres above the level of the sea. Ancient histories state that the valley contained before the Spanish conquest a number of flourishing towns, surrounded with groves of trees and richly cultivated land, forming a delightful garden. Those towns are now only poor villages, and the cultivation is half abandoned. The city of Mexico is the finest in the country; the streets are perfectly straight, and run north and south or east and west ; they are well paved and lined with foot pavements and hand some houses, generally two storeys high. These houses are mostly painted in vivid tolours. The parapet which surmounts the terraced roof is generally crenelated and festooned, and the win dows of the ground floor are ornamented with handsome ironwork. An immense number of cupolas of churches and convents rise above the terraces, and spread over the town their blue, red, or yellow domes. The Moorish architecture of those buildings would almost cause them to be taken for so many mosques, and the cathedral towers rasing like two minarets complete the en tirely Oriental aspect of the place. It would be too long to describe the 60 churches and 30 convents of the city, and its civil and military establishments. The Great Square (Plaza Mayor; is a vast quadri lateral space, at the north side of which rises the cathedral with its towers, while on the eastern side, for a distance of 200 metres, extends the National Palace, or seat of Government, with the Ministerial offices, the Senate, the Chamber of Deputies, the Supreme Court of Justice, the War-office, the Trea sury, the Mint, the Post- office, the Botanical Garden, and three barracks. On the western and southern sides the square is completed by buildings with covered galleries, and by the Town-hall. The University, which is near the residence of the former Viceroys, contains an interesting museum of Mexican antiquities; but the finest edifice of the town is unquestionably the School of Mines. This handsome city is peopled by 200,000 inhabitants; its streets present a very animated aspect—soldiers, priests, monks, beggars, women of all conditions, horsemen, carriages, carts and pack-horses passing without cessation. In consequence of the six lakes which surronnd Mexico, and the numerous marshes which border them, it appears that the climate will not be so salubrious as might be desired, until some drainage works shall have been executed. The in habitants, however, suffer little from the unhealthi ness of the city, owing to the width of the streets and the wind, which is continually changing the air. THE SOUTHERN STATES, " Nashville, Tennessee, March 16, 1863. "My dear —, .. . Tennessee has suffered desperately—all now are on a level—men that were in affluent circumstances reduced to a state of beg gary—houses burnt and demolished—men taken from their wives at midnight and imprisoned in the common gaol, and kept there with horse thieves and murderers—women and children turned out of their houses, after first burning their house at the dead hour of night in the snow and rain. I was round Nashville to-day in the suburbs, and such a scene of devastation I never before witnessed—all the fences round the houses destroyed, some houses torn down, some burnt, a large portion of prominent business houses taken for hospitals, and some of the private houses. Wherever Lincoln's' forces think proper to quar ter, there they will remain, and compel the owners at the point of the bayonet, to abandon their homes; or, if they have no other place to go to, they are obliged to put up with all the insults of a degraded soldiery. " All persons are obliged to get passes here now, even to the other side of the river. I have had no occasion to get one as yet. Never did I see such times as these in any country. The tyranny for the last two years has surpassed anything. It nearly equals the Spanish Inquisition or the French Revolution, the only ex ception is the guillotine, the stake, and the screws. So far I have weathered the storm, but know not a day nor an hour that I may not be imprisoned in one of their loathsome prisons. Persons are taken up and imprisoned for weeks and months without a trial. No trial here. At the last criminal court here the witnesses could not come from adjoining counties for want of a pass, and they were not per mitted to have one. " There is at this time no certainty of this war ending ; it may end in two years after this Adminis tration goes out of power, and may not end for 50 years. " Liberty here is at an end, the Republic is at an end, even the liberty of speech is denied, and a secret detective police established. A man meeting a friend in the street has to look about and see that there is no one listening, as a man is liable to be imprisoned not only for speech, but for his thoughts. " I remain yours affntionately. is SHIPPING—This Day. LosnoN, June 20.—Wind this day at noon—North- Easterly; moderate breeze, and fine weather, but rather cloudy. It will be rembembered that a few weeks ago Lord Palmerston made some very distinct allega tions as to the complicity of the King Francis IL, and the Neapolitan nobles gathered around him at Rome, in the " brigandage " now desolating the Neapolitan provinces. He asserted that they were paid and armed at Rome, under the eyes of the French authorities. When pressed for some proof of his assertions he declined at first to furnish any, but subsequently mentioned a Roman Catholic priest, Fal - hcr Curci, as having confased the crime, and denounced the King and the Neapolitan nobles for the share they tockin it. The following letter shows how far the information of the Premier is to be re lied upon : " TO SIR GEORGE BOWLER, BART., M P. " Esteemed Friend,—When you, in the English Parlia ment, on the 15th of this month, asked Lird Palmerston upon what authority he made assertions so* outrageous towards the French Government, the King of Naples,.and the Neapolitan (migrants, he referred to a discourse which I had delivered eight days previously in the Church Spirito Dei Napolitani, putting in my mouth reproaches against the illustrious exiles for fomenting brigandage and other similar statements. " Now, in the interest of truth, I hasten to state that Lord Palmerston., on that occasion, uttered a tissue of pure falsehoods, for in that discourse I did not say one word respecting, nor make the most distant allusion, direct or indirect, either to the King of Naples, to brigandage, or to what was done or ought to be done by the Neapoli tans for Rome, ncr even anything analogous thereto. The subject itself on which I treated bore no relation to such matters, inasmuch as I persuaded and exhorted those who heard me to avoid idleness, and to employ in a Christian manner the time which God had granted to them. Of this fact I have as many witnesses as there were hearers of my discourse, which was delivered publicly in church with open doors. " Lord Palmerston said that you should have been able to procure more accurate information regarding that fact, and lam glad that I can furnidt it to you. If you can find the means of communicating it to any one who heard his very false assertions I am sure that it will cause much sorrow and equal shame among his worthy countrymen and c•dlcagues to witness the position in which he has placed himself in the English Parliament by propounding such absurd tales, he being then Prime Minister. It is an unfortunate thing in our times that by a real brigandage of truth political councils and diplomatic agents are enabled to fabricate so large an edifice of falsehood. " Renewing the memory of our former friendship, I sign myself "Your most affectionate "C. M. Cum', S. I. " Galloro, near Albano, May 22, 1863." LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day, COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, (Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) DICKSON V. THE EARL OF WILTON, VISCOUNT COMBER MERE, AND GENERAL PEEL. The examination of Lieut.-Colonel Dickson was this morning continued as to the transactions between him and Captain Brett, the president of the mess account, in re lation to the charge for wine, and the letter he wrote to Lord Wilton, explaining to his lordship the various sums of money received by him and the payments made by Captain Brett. He received from Lord Wilton in January, 1858, a statement made by Captain Dixon with regard to the mess account and other matters, which he returned to Lord Wilton with his remarks upon it. On the 18th of March, 1858, he received a note from Lord Combermere, directing him to call upon him, which he did on the following morning, .when his lordship told him there had been complaints against him, and that he (Lord Combermere) was afraid that his (Colonel Dickson's) temper and man ners towards the officers of the regiment was not exactly what it ought to be. He saw he had a great deal of trouble with some of the officers, and particularly the young ones, and the conduct of Captain Dixon had been disgraceful, and as a captain he set a very bad example to the others. Lord Combermere said he hoped that, for the future, a better understanding would exist between him (Colonel Dickson) and his brother officers; his lordship adding that he knew he (Colonel Dickson) was an old and very good officer, but that he did not understand a militia regiment. The examination of Colonel Dickson lasted the whole day, and was principally confined to the circumstances previous to the court of inquiry into his conduct. As there are various other points to be dealt with, it is not likely that his examination will conclude before Monday. MARKETS--This Day. COVENT GARDEN.

The brief was either very heavy reading or the debate was very dull, but in either or both events the effect upon her Majesty's Solicitor-General was the same. The brief gradually fell from his hand, and the great legal luminary surrendered himself to the arms of Morpheus. The hon. and learned gentleniam slept serenely for some hours, during which one or two divi sions took place without his knowledge. The Speaker either did not detect him, or, sympathising with a fellow sufferer, affected not to see him.—Cor. of Bedfast .News- Letter. INCREASING INFLUENCE OF THE POLISH NA TIONAL GOVERNMENT.—The Temps of yesterday says,—" Poland is decidedly slipping away from Russia. The most striking fact is not the incapacity, now completely demonstrated, of the Russians in the open field, but the power of the occult national government sitting at Warsaw in the very midst of the Russian bayonets. That Govern ment works regularly; it has its newspapers, it imposes its taxes, and, what is more significant, it sends its summonses even to the Russians residing in Poland, and those persons consider it unsafe not to bow to them. One of these Rus sians could think of no better plan of avoiding payment of the tax levied upon him than that of quitting the country. These significant facts are admitted by the RusstAn in aiid. The same journal, under the pretence of giving a lesson to parents and teachers, acknowledges that young people, ' almost children,' it says, are leaving their colleges to join the insurgents. Nor is this all; the national Government has ordered all the Polish officers in the Russian army to quit the army, and to act as becomes true patriots. Acting upon these orders several very distinguished officers of tho garrison, and amongst them General Berg's own nephew, at once disappeared. Such symptoms speak for themselves, and need no comment." KILLED BY A FLY.—A young officer of the 27th Regiment of the Line, named Pondevaux, aged 23, in garrison 'at Evreux, has just died under afflicting cir cumstances. Being at Paris on a few days' leave, he visited the Jardin des Plantes, where he was stung on the upper lip by a fly while standing near the wild beasts' cages. On returning to Evreux he suffered some pain in the part wounded, but in spite of the counsels of his friends refused to obtain surgical advice. The symptoms btcame aggra vated. and the poison spreading rapidly, the young man expired two days back in great agony. It is supposed that the insect had previously been feeding on putrid meat in the dens of one of the carnivorous animals. The Madrid Gazette of the 15th contains a royal decree appointing the President of the Council, the Marquis de Miraflores, to be Minister of the Interior, ad interim, during the absence of Don Rodriguez Vaumonde, who is proceeding to Vichy to drink the waters. The Correspondencia pub lishes a telegraphic despatch from Vigo, dated the 15th, announcing the arrival there of the steamer Puerto Rico. Tne mail would not reach Madrid till the folowing day. It was reported that she brought details respecting the capture of Puebla. At the Academy on Saturday last, says the Queen, M. Mignet, the perpetual secretary of the Institute, read a paper on Macaulay, who had in his lifetime been one of the foreign members of that body. M. Mignet, who is hi mse lf a finished scholar and gentleman, was perhaps better than most of his colleagues and auditors fitted to appreciate and record the life of our great statesman, poet, and historian. His praises of the departed genius, whose loss England must so severely de plore, were written in language at once chaste and elegant, and pronounced with that exquisite harmony of voice and manner, which have gained M. Mignet the well-deserved reputation of one of the most elegant scholars and refined speakers of his day.

ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER BY A BROTHER. — An inquiry was held by Mr. Wm. Payne, the City coroner, at St Bartholomew's Hospital, on Thursday, re specting the death of Esther Reilly, aged 24 years, who was alleged to have lost her life through being savagely kicked by a relative. Deceased was the wife of a general dealer residing at No. 19, New Nichol-street, Shoreditch. She was admitted to the hospital on the 19th of May with a dreadful bruise in the side and thigh. She told Mr. Ellen, the house surgeon, that her brother had kicked and dreadfully injured her. A fortni g ht after wards a miscar riage took place, and she expired on Tuesd a y l as t f rom pyemia consequent upon it. The evidence as to deceased's own statement as to the cause of her injuries and death was clear, and was not denied, and after some further evidence, which was immaterial, thr: Coroner said that there was quite as much testimony to show that deceased's injuries had been caused by most cowardly and unmanly ticks, as by the alleged fall. 'The evidence, however, was so con tradictory that even if the individual who was alleged to have kicked her could be indieat3d, a conviction could not be hoped for, and therefore under all the circumstances the best coutse would be to return a verdict, merely stating the immediate cause of death. The jury, after a long deli beration, returned a verdict of death tient pyewia, pi o . due , .:d by miscarriage:" 13.14. 1 25 10 st st 50 20 10 10 6.4.0 ►4,16.4 12.10 Share 100 atk t 20 ~401 to too 1 stock stock stock 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 stock stock 100 - 100 10 stock stock stock 20 stock 50 100 at I 20 et stock stook , SSE Paid. all 100 10G 100 100 100 100 lon all 100 (100 i 100 no k 100 100 100 100 100 100 51 3 20i 71 3 431 3 351 26 2/ 101 1021 los A 98& 8 104} 1114 I
