pared with the corresponding week of Octover, 1861, the in-

week, 173.11 ner cent. ; third week, 185'84 per cent. ;

This is an alarming and rapid increase. Ou the last day of
the fifth week of October, 1862, the number of outdoor
paupers relieved in the two counties was Z 13,995 ; corre-
sponding day of preceding year, 66,3:41.
A VICTIM TO THE DEPOSIT BANK. —An inquiry
was held by Mr. Raffies Waithew, the deputy coroner, on
Wednesday night, at Poplar, respecting the death of Mrs.
Anna Benson, aged 59. John Webber, a bargeman, said
that on Monday, as he was navigating his barge on the
River Lea, near the Five Mills, Bow, his attention was at-
tracted by the loud barking of dogs, and a moaning sound.
Ile s►w something 'looting under the surface of the water,
and upon getting near he found it to be a woman. She
was still alive, and he got her on shore. He saw two rough-
looking men standing near, and be called to them to go for
the police and adoctor. They ran eft, however, and no one
came until be shouted out for help. Ultimately she was
removed in • cab. She could not have got into the river,
where be found her, by walking in, ea there was a railing
round it. Mr. C. F. Wilson said thatdeceaaed was his sister-
and was possessed of property. She had lost • sum
of mousy in toe Deposit Bank, and, being apprehensive
that under the winding up of that concern she would
have to pay for the deficiencies of others, her mind more ,
or less gave wry, and she became subject to delusions, and
thought she was doomed to poverty. That fear was, how-
ever, q•!,ite without foundation. On the day mentioned by
the lest a Antes she went out to visit at Bow, which she
evident!) did by railway, as the half of a return ticket was
found ou her. She bad not been robbed, as a guinea was
found iu her purse. Ile did not know hew she got into the
water. Dr. Careen said that he was called to the deceased,
who was in a state of collapse. She became sensible, but
did not s3y bow the affair occurred. merely stating " that
it sae too dreadful to talk about." She died from the effects
of the immersion. Be had recently been called in to the
deceased. and found her prostrate from poison—laudanum.
When with difficulty he recovered her, she said she took
the poison only as • medicine. She was subject to delu-
sion. Ile discovered a quantity of laudanum in a bottle.
The returned a verdict, " That deceased died from
immersion in the river Lea, but how she came into the
said river there was no evidence to show.'

Raime gives en account of two important eogagemente which
have recently occurred in the Caucasus. In the first, 3,000
Circarai,,ns are said to have attacked thirty.fire Cossacks,
who made a moat heroic resistance, but who were at lad
overcome. In the second, the mountaineers were to the
umber of 5,000 or 7,000, the strength of their adversaries
not being given. Something like a regular battle, how-
ever. appears to have been fought. The laratiele admits
the tool of the Russians to have been two officen and 22
soldiers killed, beside* four ofhcers and 69 soldiers wounded.
Thirty-eight houses were sot fire to and destroyed by the
