ALLEGED DEATH OF A MOTHER THROUGH
ma INHUMANITY OF HER DAUGHTER.

INQUEST-(THDi DAY).

This morning an inquiry was held at the J.tcub'n
Ladder Tavern, New laniard, Shoreditch, by Mr. John
Humphreys, the Middlesex coroner, touching the deatlint
Mrs. Nary Evans, aged 71.
The first witness called was David Evans, 21, Nellina.
street, son of the deceased, who raid that she
was the widow of a respectable cowkeeper, but had, sue
bar husband's death, been in very reduced circumstenos.
She wee obliged to carry out milk to sell, and wee often in
want. She resided with her daughter, who Slued 11.1.
dreadfully. Witness had himself frequently seen ins skier
beat her savagely, and he would rather not state what he
had heard she had done to her.

Catherine Anne i;aunwidL-Deemaed lived with me and
she had been ailing some time pest, Last Thursday she
said she was unable to go out with the milk, and she stavt4
at horns. The next morning I accompanied her whit. she
took round the cans as anal. In Bath.street, she let tho
cane fall and spilt_ a lot of the milk. She fall herself directly
afterwards. I bad to dreg her sod the milk cans home ss
well se I Gould, and ehe died that night.
By the Coroasr—l got no doctor for her. I did not knock
her down in the street for spilling the milk. I was drank
that day, I know. Don't think I upset the milk; myself,
'Millen knocked her over for letting it fall. I was so drunk
that day and the next that I did not know m mother was
dead. I was not aware that I was hugging • coves
for two days instead of • living body. (.feu.
Nation.) That was no sin, I hope. At all events 1 can't
be banged for that. I always did my duty by her, but I
had net much mesas, so I could not let her live as she liked.
Dr. Durcheu mid that on Friday last he was informed that
dialoged was dying, and he went and found her evidently
suffering from the effects of great hardship. He seat had
some remedies, but it was said that her daughter world
not allow Diets to be taken. Hs made a post mortem et.
amination and toned all the vessels congested, but no meets
of violence to account for death; there were, however, sire
of great privation. The immediate cause of death Was as
effusion into the periosrdinm, which exhaustion and want of
the necessaries of life would tend to produce.
The Coroner having summed up,
The Jury returned a verdict in acoordance with the met.
cal testimony, and expressed their indignation at the on.
natural and unfeeling conduct of eleseessd's daughter.

that the area of the slate vein in the tract is prac-
tically unlimited, extending over about 80 acres.
The quality is proved to be good, and there is
facility of access, and a never-falling water power.
One end of the quarry is now in full working ope-
ration. Of the numerous productions of the king-
dom, few command so ready a sale as slate, the
demand for which, in fact, exceeds the supply. It
is estimated that a sum of about 25,0001. will
place in full working order all the three sections
into which the quarry is divided. Apart from
a small royalty the company is to obtain a9B

.CLERKENWELL.

Robert Smith, a hairdresser, of Brookeireet, Ham
road, wan charged before Mr. Barker with embessliug 221.
19a. 6d., the moneys entrusted to him as secretary and tree.
surer to a friendly society, the Sons of St. John, held at
the Island Queen, Hanover-street, Islington.
Edwin Francis, a trustee, produced the mien of the
society, as showing it was enrolled.
Mr. Mould (chief clerk) looked over the books, but emild
tied nothing but the certificate of Mr. Tidd Pratt that the
rules had been amended in conformity with the law, which
did not prove that it was an enrolled society.
Francis (the witness) observed that the prisoner ab-
sconded with the society's money on the 14th of May, 1861.
He ailed as esenstar7 and tresaurer to the society, and re-
ceived the contributions every alternate Monday. He held
the collected money which should have been applied to
the
the sic pk.urposes of the society, particularly to the relief of

The
h Magistrate required proof of the receipt and with-
olding of the money.
Witnees said he had no proof with him. The present
secretary held such document., and he not having been ap-
plied, to be was linable to support his cue, but requested a
remand.

Mr. Barker said there was not sufficient evidence to war-
rant him in detaining the man. He would not deprive him
of liberty upon a statement that he had stolen a certain
amount of money. If they had no proof he must go, or the
'moiety would stand the consequences.
Witness asked for time to fetch a letter, which would
show the prisoner's liability to the charge. He would be
back in an hour.

Mr. Barker said he bad no right to detain the man ; but
if they could bring proof in support of the charg the
accused should be put leek.
Witness then left, sod shortly afterwards returned with
•letter in the prisoner's handwriting, resigning his position
as secretary and treasurer, and acknowledging his default.
It stated that every farthing should be
Mr. Mould said that letter amounted to nothing, and
asked if the money received by the accused had been pro-
perly or falsely entered.
Witness replied that there were no false entries, but he
had abseooded with the money.
Mr. Mould was doubtful whether the society was en-
rolled.

The accused said be had made no false entry, and bad
promised to p all up. If be had wanted to act fraudu.
hotly he could have had 1201. the month before. He left
the neighbourhood through a distress in his house from un-
foreseen circumstance'', and over which be had no control.
He merely required time to repay the money. lie had no
frauduleot or dishonest intention.
Mr. Barker said he must discharge the man, and directed
the witeess (a trustee) to obtaio legal advice.

THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE RIVER.

As the tide receded on Tuesday evening the large
body of men who were at work on the ill•fated venal the
Ganges, exerted themselves with unwonted seal, and by
11 o'clock yesterday morning it wee found practicable to
effect an entry into the ship. Inspector Cox, of the Thames
police, with several of his men, entered the cook's house,
which was on the deck, and immediately effected an entry
Into the cabin on the upper side of the vessel. After a
search had been made thei body of the unfortunate native
doctor, whose name is supposed to be Barburghul, was die
covered in his bunk. He ha l apparently been reading, as a
book was found lying close by him in such a position as might
have been thrown out of his hand on the vessel turning
over. He is a young man about 24 years of age, and was
dressed in • light pair of drawers and a dressing gown. A
further search in the setae cable resulted in the finding of
one of the seamen, named limpet. He is a man about 40
years, with a beard, and when found was completely
dressed. He is supposed to have beau playing with a dog.
as one was found lying close to him. From the position sa
which they were fouad there was great difficulty in getting
the bodies out, and in order to accomplish it a portion of the
cabin had to be cut away. The bodies then fell into the
water, and shells having been procured by Inspector Coil
orders they were immediately placed in them, and conveyed
to the Madsen dead house, where they now lie awaiting a
coroner's inquest. With regard to the vessel she bas bess
planed the hands of Mr. Wood by the conservators of the
Thames, who have taken charge of her, and adopted pre
cautions for the prevention of aocidenta in the locality.
This morning the Derrick is expected to come alongside , sad
in the event of her coming up with the early tide there is
every chance of her being floated by mid-day, am she is now
entirely denuded of her rigging. It is believed !there are
still three men and one boy on board.

NORTH EASTERN.

The directors state in their report that the traffic
of this company, like that of other companies, has been coo-
aiderably affected by the cootinned depression in trade which
has prevailed in the manufacturing districts generally, and
especially in Lancashire. Compared with the corresponding
period of last year, the deer-nee in the goods sod mined
departmenta amounts to 72,1171 In the passenger depart-
ment the diminution is only 3,1584, which is leas than
might hay, been expected. The working show a
decreue of 26,3784, which has been principallyin the loco-
motive and engineering drpartaieuta, and is owing to the re-
duced train mileage run. The gross receipts for the half-year
ending the 30th of Jima amounted to 915,2764, and for the
corresponding half of 1861 to 999,3721., showing a diereses of
75,0961. ; the working expenses. gc., amounted for the past
half-year to 411,937!., against 43E0154, showim • decrease
of 26,3781. The net minion, including the Yahoo lines,
amounted to 503,3391. for the past half-year, and to 662,0578
for the corresponding period, showing a decease of 48,7181.
The balance available for dividend on the Berwick section is
167,3861., and on the Think sod Yahoo account, 1,670/. ;
as the York section, 49,888/. • and on the Leeds section,
13,1811. The directors recommend that out of than mums
a dividend on the Berwick ordinary stock be declared at the
rate of 41 per cent. per annum, leaving 2,7021. ; on the
Think and Melton stock at the rate of 4 per cent. per an-
num, leaving 670/. ; on the York ordinary stock at the rate
of 3 per cent. per annum, leaving 1,6a3/ • and on the
Leeds ordinary stock at the rate of 11. 17a. 6d.
_per cent per
annum, leaving 1141. for the next account. The directors
congratulate the proprietonoethepa.ing of the act forum'.
garnating the Newcastle arid Carlisle Company with this
company. The separate account of the Carlisle Company
shows a disposable balance of 38,8001., out of which the
directors recommend • dividend at the rate of 6 per cent.
per annum, leaving, after other deductions, • balance of
2,6501. The act for amalgamating the Hull and Holder-
nen Company with this company has alsoreosived the royal
assent, and the Holderneea shares are to be converted into
North Eastern 4 per cent. stock. The directors recom-
mend the proprietors to create 1,000,0001. of stock for new
works, by the issue of 41 per cent preference shares, re-
deemable any time after the expiratioo of live years hem
the date of issue, on six months' notice being given to the
holders.

The Bourse, notwithstanding the uneasiness of
some speculators about the risk of keeping accounts
open during two days' holiday, was remarkably
firm ; Ratite rose 15c. both for cash and account,
closing at 68fr. 95c. in each case. Mobilier rose
7fr. 50c., and the Italian Loan 65c. The Lyons
Railway rose Bfr. 75c., anti Southern 6fr. 25c. The
other lines were firm at yesterday's quotations.
Sir Robert Peel has arrived iu Paris from Lon-
don, and alighted at the Hotel Bristol. 1
A writer and draughtsman named Caboehe, well
known as a prominent member of the "Bohemians"
of Paris, has just expired. The following anecdote
is related of him :—" He was returning from Ver.
milks, when he heard that Fieschi had fired at the
King, and the idea occurred to him that it would
be a good speculation to sell the portrait of the
conspirator, and, not to lose time, he drew the
face of an ill-looking man sitting opposite him in
the carriage in which they were travelling. A
priutseller published the portrait, which was pur-
chased eagerly in Paris, and even by the very per-
son who had unknowingly sat for the likeness.
This dash of a pencil produced to the artist several
thousand francs."

LONDON AND NORTE-WESTERN.

The report of the directors, to be submitted to
the half-yearly meeting, on the 22nd inst., states that—" The
continual depression of trade in the manufacturing districts
of Lancashire and Staffordshire, consequent upon the civil
war in America, has affected, in a marked degree, the
traffic of this company in those &Sticks. In addition, also.
to the direct lora, arising from diminished importation of
cotton and export of manufactured articles, the receipts have
suffered from the redaction of expenditure generally on
the part of the people which inevitably accompanies con-
tinued restriction of trade. The receipts from the merchan-
dise traffic of Manchester alone with Liverpool and London,
are 16,000 f. lees than during the corresponding period of
1061. In the districts not so immediately dependent open
the state of trade with America, the traffic continues to
show satisfactory reunite. The directors have used their
best efforts to °cadent the traffic under its varying condi-
tions, io the meet economical manner. Considerable
seeing has been effected under various beads of
working expenses, and the train mileage run during

his fellow-countrymen at Malts.

Baron Ricasoti replied that he had just received
a report of insults offered by some reactionary ad-
herents of the Bourbon party. He had requested
explanations upon the matter from the English
government, and had claimed protection for Italian
subjects. The ancient friendship of England for
Italy was a guarantee that ample satisfaction would
be given.

SIR —A report frastipieat7.l rin the Observer of
yesterday, purportie; to give the proceedings at a special
meeting of commanding officers of volunteers in the metro-
politan districts, on Friday last, which had been called by
Lords Truro and Hanel/4h, for the of rescinding
certain resolutions pained in A • MI, by a large
majority, on the subject of the not and organisation of
divisional field days. This report in so incorrect in the most
important particulars that the Marquis of Donegal, the
chairman of the meeting, has requested us to ask from you
the insertion of the following oorrectioue
The errors are—L It is stated that Lord Itanelagh moved
Lord Colville into the chair, bat that an amendment was
carried substituting Lord Donegal.
The facie are that Lord Donegal was, in the first instance,
moved into the chair by Lord Elam at the suggestion of
Lard Colville, who had declined to take it. An amendment
of Lord Itaraelagh's, to substitute Lord Colville for Lord
was then moved and lost.
27.1:is stated that Lord Radstock's motion, for destroy-
ing all records of the commanding officers' meetings, was
lost by 14 to 12.
Tie actual numbers IMO 19 to 6.
_

ila;;Tatediluiianetieek on Lord Banehigh was made
by Lord Eloho which was repelled by Lord Ranalash with
greet indignation.
The facts are that the discussion was conducted on all
sides in the best temper and spirit, and that Lord Eloho,
speaking after, and not before, Lord ltanelagh, closed the
debate.

We have now corrected miss statements ; it only remains
for us to supply an omission, viz., that the resolutions
which the meeting was specially called to rescind were con-
firmed by a rrajunty a 20 to 6.—We are, &c.

Leopold, to whom the succession to his brother

The following is the report of the directors for
the half-year ending June 30, 1862
The usual abstract of accounts, which we now lay be-
fore you, shows the net surplus revenue for the half-year
to be 94,923!. 13s. 6d., out of which we recommend that •
dividend, at the rate of five per cent per annum, be paid
to the proprietors of the consolidated stock of the com-
pany, which will leave a Wain. of 2,833!. 9s. 6d. to be
carried to the credit of the next ball-year's account. The
results of the working of the hue for the past six months
have not been, in some respects, as satisfactory as we
maid with. On goods, coal, and cattle, there has been
a ooaaiderable increase ; but on Ant and second clam
passengers, and on horses and carriages there has been a de-
crease to the extent of 3,2084 When we consider the de-
pommel state of trade and agriculture, to which we have had
occasion so frequently to recur, this loss is not greater than
might reasonably have been expected. We regret to say
that there has been a large increase on the rates and hum,
amounting for the half-rear to 3,2001., and also that we have
not derived any dividend from our investments in other

AMERICAN WAR.

The despatch of Mr. Seward and Earl Russell's
reply, recently referred to in the Mouse of Lords, have tuft
bora issued from the Parliamentary Paper•office.
former is dated May 28, prior to the Federal reverses. Earl
Russell's reply is as follows :
Forsign-office, July 28, 1862.
fear,—l have left hitherto unanswered and unnoticed a
despatch of Mr. Seward's, which Mr. Adams delivered to
me more than a mouth ago.
I have done so partly because the military events
referred to in it were, in the opinion of her Majesty's revers-
mint, far from being decisive, and partly because there was
no proposal in it upon which her IdaWety's government
were called upon to come to any conclusion.
Events subsequent to the date of Mr. Seward's letter
have shown that her Majesty's government, in their opinion
upon the first of these points, were not mistaken. Victories
have been gained, reverses have followed ; positions have
been reached in the ow neighbourhood of the capital of the
Confederates, and these positions have been again abac-
i dosed. Thee events have been accompanied by great lose
of life in battle and in hospital, while such mamma as the
Contscatiou Bill gassed through both houses of Congress,
• and the proclamations of General Butler at New Orleans
line evidence of the increasing bitterness of the strife. The
approach of a servile war, so much insisted upon by Mr.
Seward in his despatch, only forewarns us that soother
element of &emetics may be added to the slaughter, lees
of property, and waste of industry, which already afflict a
country so lately prosperous and tranquil.

blockade of the Southern porta have been treated. have
induced her Majesty's government to swerve an inch from
an impartial neutrality.
At this moment they have nothing more at heart than to
see that consummation of which the President speaks is his

ALARMING FIRES.

During Monday night and yesterday morning the
firemen of the London Brigade were called to attend not
fewer than six fires in various parts of the metropolitan
district. One fire took place in the premises of Mr. C.
Hales,. No. 162, Eastaeld•street, Old-road, Stepney. The
fire originated from some unknown came ie the lower por-
tion of the building, and it extended with such rapidity that
in the course of • few minutes ever/ room in the building
was in flames. The Royal Society s escape having quickly
attended, the whole of the residents effected a safe
retreat. The engines of the parish and three of
the London Brigade, and also the land steam-0o e, were
early in arriving • bat in spite of the exertions of the fire-
men, who were aided with a good supply of water, the
flames continued to spread, and at one time it was feared
that the adjoining premises of Mr. G. Bell, No. 163, would
also have fallen a prey to the flames. The occupiers throw
their furniture into the street, by which much damage was
done. Eventually, however, the fire was subdued, but not
until Mr. Hales' premises were destroyed. Fortunately,
the sufferers were insured in the Sun.office.—Another
fire broke oat on the pprteemmisrseess belonging to Mr.
G. F. Rock, No. 15, Hertfo Haggerstone.
This was caused by • man smoking. In lees than three
minutes the whole of the lower part of the house wee in
one mass of flame, and the fire was rapidly extending up the
staircase. Three parish engines, and those of the London
Brigade, promptly attended, but the Games could not be
extinguished until a serious amount of damage had been
done, end it is feared that the sufferer was uninsured.
A fire also happened on the premises of Mr. G. Stocker,
haberdasher and milhore, carrying on business at 102,
Goswelletreet, ClerkenwelL It was caused by some of the
light faocy. articles in the front of the shop window being
blown against a gas burner in the window, and the core-
queues was that the contents of the window presented in •
few seconds • great sheet of flame. Two parish engines end
three of the London Establishment haring attended with
ell possible expedition, the fire was extinguished, bat a vast
amount of damage mime. Insurance unknown.—Early
in the moining • fire happened in the_preinises of Mr. J.
M. Flowers, • tailor, situate at 60, White Hoe-street,
Stepney. The fire commenced ill the basement and soon
reached the shop.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nos ova ows ooaararosoccr.)
PARIS, TUESDAY EVIIIING.

La France doubts the authenticity of the tele-
graphic news that M. Ratazzi, in a diplomatic note
announcing his intention to enforce respect for law,
at the same time calls attention to the peril of the
continued occupation of Rome by France. M. de
la Guerrouniere's journal takes upon itself to say
that " M. Ratazzi, who, in the present crisis, has
displayed the firmness of a statesman, knows too
well what the intentions of France are to have
made a declaration which would be at once an
encouragement to Garibaldi and an accusation
against the Emperor's government." The Bullier
Correspondence, speaking in the same key, says that
such conduct on the part of Ratazzi would be to ask
France to "lower her flag to Garibaldi, and obey his
injunctions." Although the Discussions of Turin,
from which this news comes, is not a very reliable
paper, I incline to believe its statement in this
instance, because it is quite indicated by the situ-
ation. Ratazzi could not remain minister for an
hour if he were to obey the orders which La France
has promulgated within the last three days, and
declare that he renounced all hope and all desire
to obtain Rome for the capital of Italy. He is
bound by the solemn declarations of the King and
of the Chamber to persevere in the claim of Italy
to Rome. I think things are fast coming to an
issue. Garibaldi is accused of being a fool or a
madman, but be will at any rate have pulled off a
mask which was intended to be worn in Paris on the
coming 15th of August. By the way, the Petrie
says that that day is used upon for a demonstra-
tion hostile to Frain* throughout all Italy, and that
Ratazzi was taking energetic measures to put it
down. It is curious that while the Mouiteur groups
a quantity of news known to everybody in such a
manner as to represent Garibaldi's movements as
having dwindled into insignificance, La France con-
tinues to say that his adherents are everywhere
acting, and that the "logic of the situation" is with
them as long as the King and Ratazzi do not
" change their policy," and publicly renounce Rome.
It seems to be yet a question whether the Corps
Diplomatique is to be received by the Emperor on ,
the 15th ; the Patric says that no member of that
body has received an invitation "up to the present
time at least."

THE CONDEMNED CONVICT AT BODMIN.

I The criminal, John Doidge, who was on Thursday
last sentenced to death by Mr. Justice Williams for the
murder of Roger Drew, at St. Stephen's by Launceston,
continues to manifest the sams stoical demeanour as that
which characterised him both before and during his
It is true that he talks of the disgrace which he has
brought upon himself, but he has said nothing which
would iodinate contrition for his fearful crime. It is a
remarkable fact that from the first moment of his arrest
he has never denied that he murdered the old man. He
eats, drinks, and sleeps as natal ; in fact there is nothing
in his conduct or manner of passing his days and nights
which would lead one to suppose that he was so rapidly ap-
preaching the termination of his life. There is no general
specified rule aa to bow long after the trial of a culprit for
murder his execution shalljtake place. Usually be is allowed
two Sundays alter the judges have left the assize town, but
various customs prevail in the, different counties. Thus at
Winchester, these present swims, the Fordingbridge mur-
derer was allowed three Sundays after his condemnation, and
whiles Monday is generally the day selected for the execution,
the very last case of capital panishment carried out in Exeter
—that of the unfortunate Hacked —took place as a Satur-
day, viz., the 30th March, 1861. la Cornwall, however,
the extreme penalty of the law I. carried out on Moaday.
The last executions
for murder at Bodmin took place in the
summer of 1866, and this, as in most other places, was over
the entrance to the county gaol. Since that time every
vestige of the old prima has been swept away, sad ea its
site has been erected the extensive and substaatial pile of
castellated buildings which now ooestitute the Cornwall
Ocusity Prison. The entrance is ea the nerthiast side et
