The mining market is quiet today, and prices
generally present no movement, owing chiefly to
the settlement. Pest Caradon shares are now

The Frontino and Bolivia Mining Company have
received by the West India packet a remittance of
200 ounces of gold.
The directors of the Chontales Gold Mining Com-
pany have issued a circular to the sharehols, in
which they state that " a considerable portion of
the machinery has already reached the mines, and
a large amount of work has been done in improv-
ing the road from Libertad, in clearing the ground,
and in opening out the different mines. It is
hoped that two water-wheels may soon be in full
working order. Though, from the delay in getting
up the machinery, some further time may elapse
before the works at the mines are in full operation,
the directors continue to receive from competent

judges, who have seen the company's property since
their last advice to you, an unvarying report of its
very great value and importance."

EITIZAORDINARY CASE OP SUSPECTED
ABORTION.

INQUEST.—(THIS DAT.)
This forenoon Mr. Richards, deputy coroner,
resumed the inquiry, at the Adam and Eve Tavern, Lower
Homerton, relative to the death of a young women named
Elizabeth Haburn, aged 22 years, who, it was supposed,
had lost her life through abortion.
Mr. W. Harland, 22, Aspland-grove, Hackney, merchant's
clerk, said that be had known the deoeseesi three weeks.
She lived at Anderson's coffee-house, near the New
North-road. He met her in St. James's-park, and she
told him that she was an ironer. She said that she had
been drugged and 'educed IS months ago, and that 12 months
ago she had had a miscarriage. Witness slept with her on
three er four occasions, and he saw her almost daily. She
complained of pain in her side. She never asked witness
for medicines to procure abortion. Dr. Atkyns maw her at
the coffee-shop. On Saturday week witness fetched her
away from the coffee-shop. Mrs. Jane Rusting, of 26,
Asplaud-grove, accompanied witness in the cab, and de-
ceased was taken to Mrs. Rusling's house. Dr. Wright saw
deceased there. She was next day taken to the workhouse,
where she died. Witness had not slept with her at Ander-
son's coffee-house.
Mrs. Elizabeth Anderson said she kept a coffee-house in
Slueftesbury-street, Horton. Last Monday fortnight the
deceased came to her shop accompanied by Mr. Harland,
whom she said was her brother, and asked to hire a
room for a week. Witness gave her half a room. Mr.
Harland came to see her every evening, but witnessnever
saw any impropriety. The next Sunday she became very
ill ; she vomited continually. Dr Atlryns saw her. She
would not tell witness anything ; she was very reserved.
On one or two or three nights Mr. Harland sat up with
her. She was very ill, and vomited day and night. On
Saturday week she was taken away by Mr HarLodand
Mrs. Muslin.
Mrs. Jane Railing, 26, Aspland-grove, Hackney, the
wife of aclerk at a financier's, said that Mr. Harland was
an old friend of her husband's. He told her that there
was a young person dying at a coffee-shop from want of
attention. He said nothing about any attachment or any-
thing of the kind. Witness said, " Well, let us not let
the poor thing die like that. We will bring her here."
Witness took her a change of linen, and brought her to
Aspland-grove. Deceased would not tell witness any-
thing about her history, and witness knew nothing further
about the matter. Depend upon it she would never act
so again. Mr. Harland never told her anything *bout the
girl's antecedents.
Mr. Harland recalled, said that he first met the de-
ceased on Tuesday. She said she was looking for a situa-
tion. She told him the story of her having been drugged,
&c., and she seemed to wish him to take her to live with
him, hut that he would not do. He did not induce her to
leave her home. She gave him her address, and on the
Saturday he wrote to her, and on the Sunday night he slept
with her. The next day she said she wanted a lodging,
and as she was a stranger, she asked him to accompany her
to get a room, and proposed, to avoid saspicion, that he
should pass for her brother. He assented, and got her a
room at Mrs. Anderson's coffee-house, a very respectable
place.
The Coroner asked the witness what could have induced
him to got a young married lady like Mrs. Bailing into
the very awkward position in which he had placed her.
Mr. Harland said that be had done sothrough mere Emi-
-1 ness, for he might simply have left the deceased to her
fate. He had sat up with her for three nights. and Mrs.
Bulling asked him what made him look ao badly. He
then told her that a young pereou wss dying from ne-
-11 glect, and Mrs. Railing offered to take her into her house.
and she did so from kindness of heart.
Dr. Wright said that be saw deceased at Mrs. Ruling's
house, on Sunday week. She was in a state of eollapse,and
he could not form any certain opinion upon the ease.
Dr. Miller said that deceased was brought to the
Hackney workhouse on yesterday week. She died in a
few hours. The post-mortem examination showed that
there was severe inflarnation of the womb. He attributed
death to the exhaustion consequent on inch inflammation.
The appearances led to the inference that there had been
I a recent miscarriage. He could not say positively whether
there had or had not been abortion, but he could not at-
' tribute the fatal inflammation to natural causes.
Ann Hugburn, Balham-hill, said that deceased was her
sister. She was married to an engineer, who was drowned
two years ago. She had a child by her husband two years
old still living. She went out to work all day until three
weeks ago. She never was away from home, On Sunday
three week she went
believedaway witness never saw her
alive after.s Witness deceased had been led away
by a young gentleman.
In answer to the Coroner, the witness reluctaly ad-
mitted that the deceased
did not come home as e ntarly us
witness wished.
The Coroner, in summing up, said that the ease was a
very mysterious one. If the deceased died from the conse-
quences of abortion, she had carried the secret of her
accomplices with her to the grave. AA for Mr. Hitrland,
be did not appear to be open to any censure or suspicion in
relation to the deceased's death.
The jury returned a verdict, " That deceased died from
inflammation of the womb, but whether the said inflam-
mation was caused by attempts at abortion, or other-
wise, the evidence is not sufficient to show."

Negotiations were opened several years age, but
without result, between the cabinets of Vienna and Paris,
with the object et removing to France the remains of
Napoleon 11., Duke de Reiebetadt. A letter from Vienna
now states that the Emperor Francis Joseph, to show his
gratitude toward, Napoleon 111., has spontaneously offered
so restore them to France.

lecteci that Thomas Berridge was tried on a charge of rape
