DEPLORMILZ DRAM. —This morning Mr. H.
Baffles Wa'thew. deputy coroner, held an inquiry it the
Duke of York Tavern, High-street, Shad"l4
the death of Georgeeradgentoc, aged 60 pen.
was • ooelwhipper, and had been fur some time out of em-
ploy, and had become debilitated from consequent hard-
ships. He got employment on Thursday on board
the Brothers, lying is the Pool. He fainted after
• few house labour, end was plated by Ids "gang
mates" on the kelsi:a while they considerately went
on with his share of the work. When he recovered he
said, "I am done ; but I will not see my mates imposed
upon by having to do my work," and he actually set to
work aid raised six tons of cods. He then said, "It is
all over with me," and he fell apparently dead.
Dr. Rosa said that he wee sent for, and found that deceased
was dead. If he had not goes to work after his fainting, cc
described, his life might not here been sacrificed. The im-
mediate cause of death was effusion on to the brain, from
the severe labour and the heat acting on his debilitated
state. Verdict accordingly.
We are sorry to hear that at a late hour on Satur-
day eight • strike occurred among the workmen at Guildhall
which ended is something like • riot and orgie. Having
made their protest spinet their employers, they broke into
one of the wine cellars. and made free with some of the
choice wines which had been liberally accumulated by the
corporation fur the guests of this evening. After • time.
order was restored, and the work was resumed, being
carried on all through yesterday and up to • late hour
to-day.

Foos o'Ctocz.
Consols are still quoted 911 to 92, ez div.,
both for money and the present settlement.
About 200,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from
the Bank on Saturday for transmission to Brazil
by the steamer of the 9th inst. This large
withdrawal of sovereigns is calculated to con-
firm the opinion entertained in many quarters
that a somewhat higher value of money will ere
long rule at the Bank, and, so long as this opinion
prevails, discounters will be indisposed to du busi-
ness freely at the existing rates. There seems to
be an expectation that some stringency will make
itself felt before the July dividends become payable.
The Marco Polo has arrived from Port Philip
with 58,5001. in gold.
A curious illustration of the proneness of the
public mind to vague alarm was presented on Satur-
day in the fact of a sort of " run" having taken place
upon some of the branches of the London and
County Bank. The movement commenoed at the
Shoreditch office, and thence extended to some of
the other branches, as well as to the head establish-
ment. How it arose is one of those questions
which it it next to impossible to fathom, but the
belief is that some person was overheard in some
place of public resort in the neighbourhood
of Shoreditch to allude to the failure of " the
old bank"—meaning, perhaps, the private banking
firm in that locality whose affairs were wound up
by, and whose premises have since been occupied
by the Loudon and County, and that the misap-
prehension thus engendered took wings and became
widely diffused. Absurd as the story may seem, it
has not been without its effect. The rumour got
abroad at one time that the London and County
Bank had actually stopped, but as soon as depo-
aitors found that they could get their money with
perfect readiness on application the alarm natu-
rally subsided, and some of those who had with-
drawn money have re-appeared and paid it in again
this afternoon. Apart from the feeling of self-iu-
tercet, which would doubtless induce all the Lon-
don joint stock banks to co-operate in sustaining a
solvent establishment subjected to a causeless
pressure of this kind, there is, it is believed,
scarcely a bank in London better prepared at all
times to meet a " run" than the London and
County.
It is said that the following will probably
comprise the leading features of the financial
operation in connexion with Venezuela, which
is about to be brought forward under
influential auspices in the London mar-
ket. The amount of the proposed loan is 1,000,000/.
of stock, bearing 6 per cent interest, and to be
offered at about 60. The security proposed con-
sists of the export duties recently decreed, and
which are said to be likely to produce about
130,000/. per annum. 40,0001. is to be set apart
every year for the sinking fund of the loan, and the
bonds drawn are to be paid off at 100. Part of the
money is destined for the formation of a bank, and
is to be invested in Consols as a bash; for the
bank-notes to be issued. Nothing has yet publicly
transpired with regard to the view taken of the
transaction by General Falcon and the Federal
party, who appear to be coming into possession of
power in Venezuela.
Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have notified
that they are ready to pay the dividend due the Ist

The prospectus of the London and Hamburg
Exchange Bank (Limited) is issued. This com-
pany proposes to take up new ground, by
establishing increased banking facilities be-
tween London and the important port of
Hamburg. With this view the directors have
made arrangements for thepurchseeof a lung estab-
lished banking business in Hamburg, which pos-
sesses upwards of 700 current and deposit accounts.
There are at present only two joint stock banks iu
that city, and neither of them has any direct con-
nexion with this country. The head office of the
proposed bank is to be in London, and it is pro-
mised that the principles to be acted upon shall be
of a " cautious and approved" character. The
capital is 1,000,0001., in 10,000 shares of 1001.
each, of which one-half are to form the issue. It
is not expected that more then 251. per share will
be called up. Telegrams received from Hamburg
this afternoon state that considerable sensation has
been produced on the Exchange in that city by the
announcement of this project, and that a large
proportion of the capital has already been subscribed
i for there.

Advices received from the Cape by the last mail
state that the project of the South African Irriga-
tion Company has been received with favour. The
shares reserved for allotment in the colony were
rapidly taken, and its funds invested at an average
rate of 9 per cent.
The half-yearly meeting of the Oriental Inland
Steam Company will be held on the 18th inst.

Finance Company of London are in course of pre-
paration, and the day for their issue will shortly be
fixed.
