THE DEATH IN A BATH AT STEPNEY UNION.

ADJOURNED INQIJIO3I'.—(THIS DAY.)
This day, at noon, Mr. John Humphreys, the
Conner far East Middlesex, held as adjourned *airy at
the workhouse of the Stepney Unica, St. Leopard'
Bromley, relative to the deathet a pauper inmate.=
William Hustler, aged 77 years, who was found dead in a
bath under very mysterious circumstances.
It will be remembered that the deceased was in the habit
of Mk's( a warm bath twice a week, and is was the prac-
tice of the establishment to allow the paupers to do so when
they thought proper. On Friday last the deceased asked
the attendant to let him have a hot bath, and gave him the
key to look himself in, as the boys were in the habit of
larking with the aged men About half an hour afterwards
the attendant west to the bath-rrooaamm,, and finding the door
locked be presumed that the deoeusd bad gone to his room.
On the following morning the deceased warm and
sutesquently one of the men got into the window ot the
bath-room, and found the deceased lying at the bottom of
the bath quite dead. Dr. Hawklike, the medical officer, was
sent for, but deceased bad been dead from the previous

n4let.
Upon the reeumption of the inquest this day a variety al
additional evideace was taken.

The Coroner said that the deceased had no doubt died
from drowning, and the evidence adduced established the
fact that the management of that establishment (which was
one of the largest in the east-end of the metropolis) was not
properly serried out ;it was loosely cooducted. He was of
opinion that some person should be left io the charge of the
inmates while in the bath to prevent similar misfortunes.
The jury concurred in the opinion of the learned Coroner,
and retareed the following special verdict :—" That the
demand. William Hustler, a pauper inmate, was found
dead la • bath at the Stepper Union, and that his death
wee the result of submersion in water by misadventure ;
and that the jury cannot separate without og their
=is that in future some qualified pesos aboald
have

DRAUGHT liana FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF
ENGLAND Aim fikementi.—The match for the champion-
ship of
_England and Scotland, and 1001. • side, commenced
me Monday is the Trades' Hall, Glasgow, between B. Mar-
tial, of London, and James Wyllie, bater known ea the
" Herd Eddie:" Then was throtighont the day a large
number of spectators, who seemed to hike an unusual
interest in the contest, many of them watching and
taking notes of every move. Martins is a well.
known first-class Eineldh player, and has already beat two
of our best Scotch players—having in June, 1859, at Edin-
burgh, beaten his present opponent, the Herd Lea*"
and six months el leeward, Illierro w. at Glasgow. The
Mende, however, of Wyllie were so oonfideat of his
to cope with the English victor, that they mar
present match with Martins. It is to consist of 50
games, 25 on the black mad 25 on the white
squares, and to be played according to Anderson's
standard edition of draught *Jima. Mr. Mlierrorr, of
Douglas, acted as umpire for Wyllie, end Mr. Wallace, Glee-
gow, as umpire for Matins. The match commeocae each
dal at 11 o'clock, with an interval of an hoar at 3 o'clock,
and continues till the evening, DO new game bell
begun after ball-pest 7 o'clock. The style of play
the two competitors is quite different. Wylie sits
bolt upright in his chair, at • coodderable distances
from the- board, never moves • muscle when he is
coesidering what shift he should make, and eases to • de-
cision much more quickly than his ponsmt. *weans, on
the other hand, hang over the boa 4 with his chin almost
touching it, and plays slowly and somewhat hesitatingly,
bang mare frequently told then W Ills that the allotted
time to move—lva mine elapsed. Only three
games wise played es Monday, all of which were draws.

SCHNI AT A CHRISTENING or BAPTIST CONTEST&
—A very unseemly affair took place on the Newton shorn
at Ayr, on Sunday evening. It appears that the revival
I lay preadises, who now occupy the wooden church in Wal-
lace-town, hays become Baptista, and as a matter of
dowse they have been seeking to make converts
of those who attend their meeting° On the
ensuing in question • tent was erected oar the
when a goodly number of ooeverts cams beach,
to be imemeeed. As was to be expected such an unusual
aeonniseosbrought together a very large crowd. A batch
of five male adult went first into the water, accompanied
by Mr. Were% the officiating brother. Each in his turn
being dipped over bead and one ef the converts,
wham proboscis was particularly required a se-
cond dip, the first not being a complete immmr-
aloe
Hundreds of boys and gide greeted the converts
as they came to the beach with • perfect shower of sand
and gravel, and the poor converts, who were more like
half drowned rats than anything else, were rendered tenfold
more ridiculous by the bespattering they received. There
were • number more converts to be baptised, but either their
faith failed from the ordeal which they maw awaited them,
or It wee deemed prudent not to trifle with the animosity of
the crowd farther. In the melte the tent was torn down,
and the proceedings were brought abruptly to • close.—

The mooed mate was, however, also apprehended late
in the eves*, and lodged, along with the rest

Mr. Stewart and his men returned to the verel, and, after •
=lssearch in the hold, they toned upwards of 1501 b. of
underneath the bettens—makiog the total quantity

here atone time. Up to a late hour cm Monday night,
Captain Heorichsen did not come hack from Charlestos,
and presuming that he had landed at Be'nein from the

yesterday they had not returned. The ship and cargo have
been seissd.—Scotsinan .

At the seini-annual meetingyesterdayof the Cana-
dian Land and Emigration Company, the directors'
report was adopted. It referred to the delay in
the settlement of the negotiations with the provin-
cial government, arising chiefly from the changes of
ministry. The survey of ten townships having
been now completed, however, it is believed that
no further procrastination will take place in
bringing these negotiations to a satisfactory conclu-
sion.

Accounts from Constantinople mention that some
misunderstanding bad arisen between the Turkish
Minister of Finance and the Imperial Bank. The
Lerma Herald has the following on the subject :
Mnatapha Puha adheres, it is said, to what virtually
amounts to a breech of his official engagement toward@ the
bank, oaths fulfilment of which the latter not unreason•
ably melds. As was to be expected, this variance, occurring
so early in the history of the new institution, has been ex-
plained as unfavourably as possible by local rumour during
the week. The Malieb, one report rams, asked fora loan
from the bank beyond its power of satisfactory guarantee,
sad on the latter refusing, the minister withdrew his revenue.
Another asserts with equal confidence that the government
regrets its bargain to subsidise the bank with per cent. on
all its parakeets for the home debt, and has revolved to
annul the contract unless this clause be importantly
amended. But whilst not pretending to say what propor-
tion of truth there may be in either of these rumours, we
believe the C(11110 caused the Msiieh'e conduct to be a serail
intrigue, the plain object of which is to relieve these gentry
from the new and inconvenient obligations of punctual and
basest payment of their accounts, on which tho bank
rightly and as of course insists. Under the old system,
punctuality was undreamt of ; whilst in point of
dishonestly short payment—errors of eonntiog they
were euphoniously termed—frauds were notoriously prectieed
on the Treasury to the extent of nearly 25,000/. a year.
These were far too considerable advantages for the serail
tribe to surrender without a struggle, and the extent sod
source of their influence being locally well understood, no
one is surprised at their present effort to recover their old
hold on the Malieh. This we believe to be the true ex-
planation of an incident which has already done mischief
to both the government and the bank, and which—roisre-
=rd as it is sure to be abroad—must inevitably
both yet more seriously, unless the Minister of
Fiancee speedily awaken to a proper sense of his interests
and his obligatious—which in this case are correlative.
The cotton crops of the Dardanelles are reported
to be looking very well indeed, and promise a very
selling quality from American seed.
The numbers are published of some forfeited
shares in the Turin and Savona Railway Company,
which will beeuwe liable to be disposed of unless

An extraordinary meeting of the Telegraph to

The position of the market for American secu-
rities is thus referred to in the circular of Mr. K F.
Satterthwaite, dated last evening :
Since the receipt of advice* from New York by the Arabia,
the London market for American securities ban shown la-
mmed firmness, and we have to report a rise in all the
Mares usually dealt in ou this side ; thus, Erie shows an im-
provement of 10 dole., Illinois 4 dol., and New York
Central 3 dole. This advance has induced many English
bolder, to part with their Mans, which have been readily
taken for tnenamiseiou to New York, the prioo there still
being considerably above quotation/khan, taking the rate of
exchange into musidmalion. But few railroad hoods bare
come to market. Atlantic and Great Western, however,
still continue in demand, and exhibit a further improve-
ment of 1 dollar.

diminished rather than increased. Prices have bees so

nearly uniform, thkt scarcely any changes an bra made in
ear quotativng. The market has still to expiring°, the
beardcial effects of the abundant harvest now beingeseured,
so that we may look forward to a ooeliaawl shady con-
sumptive demand. In raw goods there is se Important
feature. The imports and sake are moderate, with coy
slight alterations in ps kW. Oa salted Barnes Ayres heavy
