INtg•ENT.—(THIS 1).11-.1
This morning Mr. John Hump!met, a, the Middle-
-.s coroner. resumed an inquiry at the l;reen (;ate Tavern,
City-road. respecting the kith of a male chill, the
plc rxl illegitimate offspring of Rose Fruen.
Mr. Webb, (nun the (dine of Messrs. France and Ile'•
skim. solicitors. appeared to watch the case on behalf of
-one parties interested in the case.
The alleged mother of the deceased was a young woman
Is years of age. she was a domestic servant in the em-
ployment of a laoy named Miss France. Nothing wrong
was suspected until ler istress was about to chaii-e her
reidlents- from No. Faleon•street, City, to No.
t;esw(ll-read. lln Thursday, the 21st ult.' while
the furniture was being packed up the accused became
cry ill, and upon being taxed with being in a
certain condition she denied it. On the following Friday
Walford was called in, but the young woman would
make no admission beyond saying, " I can tell you the
71,1D1.: of the father of the child." She stated that he WAS
City policeman. On the Saturday she was removed to
the East London Union at Homerton. While there she
blade a statement, and a box which her mistress bad re-
moved to her new residence was then searched. It was
found to contain the body of a well-ileveloped full-timed
male child wrapped in a blanket. There was a piece of
a line tied tightly round the neck, and it was knotted.
Mr. W. Walford, surgeon, said that the child might
hare been partly alive when put in the blanket. Fastening
a iIiVCC of .A11:11 TUttllii the child.* neck and knotting it
would cause death by strangulation.
Msria Gale, nurse at the East London Union, Homer-
ton, said that on Sunday, the Gird ult., Rose Fruen, the
mother of the deceased, was admitted into the infirmary
of that workhouse. She made no statement until after
witness had her removed to the lying-in ward on the fol-
lowing Tuesday. Witness questioned her, and she said,
" There has been a baby, and the child was left in a box."
She did not .oiy that the child was born alive.

I:y Mr. Weld, - %Vitae.% uever cautioned the accused
before she questioned her. The accused is still very ill.
Siblett said that it was mental anxiety that pre-
vented the recovery of the accused. She was completely
prostrated. She could not possibly bear up while giving
evidence before the court at present.
The court was accordingly adjourned.

THE SHOCKING DEATH OF A WOMAN AT THE
OLD-STREET POLICE-STATION.

INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.)

- -
This forenoon Alr. Humphreys, the coroner, held
an inquiryott the green Gate Tavern, City-rood, touching
the death of a woman named Sophia Grant, aged :ti years,
who expired while in custody at the Old-street police.
station.

Pohce.constable William Phillips, 229 G. said that at
2 o'clock last Sunday morning he was on duty in Golden-
Lne, St. Luke's, and he sew a woman sitting on a door
step. She was drunk. She said that she had taken two
muirterns of rum, two pints of ale, and a drop of brandy.
She could not walk, and she was taken into custody and
conveyed to the police-station,where food was given to her.
Samuel Hodge, 44 A, said that the deceased was
placed in a warm cell. Her clothes were wet and they
were dried. She was placed sitting at II fire before
she was shut in the cell.

Sergeant John Wipelan], 91 G, said that • little after
5 o'clock the deceased complained of being unwell. The
divisional surgeon was sent for, and be ordered her medi-
cine. She got better, and on Monday she was sent out of
the station, and a police-constable was ordered to take her
before a magistrate. She said " I cannot walk," and she
was brought back to the station and died.
Mr. G. G. Yarrow, the police surgeon, said that the
deceased complained of difficulty of breathing. He gave
her medicine. fin Monday when he was called in he found
her stead. Her body was very much emaciated. The post
'Hertel,' examination showed that she had died from
disease of the lungs, accelerated by want and exposure.
Her blood was thin and liquid, and that showed the im-
poverished state of the system. Her body was almost
• skeleton. She was dressed in workhouse clothing. Her
stockings were marked " Bethnal-men workhouse." She
bad evidently bad no food for some time before she was
taken into custody by the police. She stated to witness
that she was frequently seized with difficulty of breathing
after she had taken anything to drink. The exposure of
sitting on the door step was most injurious to the de-
ceased in the condition in which she was.
Mr. Girling stated that no person was present to identify
the deceased. She said that she had come from Dartford,
but that statement was found to be untrue. No money or
property of any kind was found upon her.
It was stated that the deceased must have been in the
kabit of sleeping at night about the streets and under
archways, for if she had alert in a casual ward she could
not have been in the fearfully dirty condition in which
she was found. It was also stated that her sufferings from
want of food must have been great. She had evidently
livedby begging, and it is supposed that she was given
drink by labourers when she asked for money, as it is their
frequent habit to do. She said to the police that whenever
she was given drink she drank it.
The Coroner having summed up, the jury returned the
following verdict :—" That the deceased expired at the
Oldatreet police-station from the mortal effects of dis-
ease of the lungs, accelerated by want of food and expo-
sure to the cold."

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report
and accounts, observed that they were dealing with the
lint half of the financial year, and hence the report was
brief. He thought the proprietors would consider that
under the circumstances the results presented were highly
satisfactory. At the mat meeting he remarked that in con-
sequence of the fall in the rate of interest the profits
would be less than they had been in the foregoing
half-year. The last six months was a period of gloom,
depression, and distrust ; but the clouds were in some
degree clearing away, and he hoped that what had oc-
curred would preduce great caution in monetary matters.
The results in their own case proved that caution had
been exercised, and no hope of profit would ever induce the
directors to deviate from the narrow path of legitimate
banking. (Cheers.) The late events had tended to
strengthen the strong, and had weeded out many establish-
ments which ought perhaps never to have existed. (Hear.)
The amount paid for interest in the last half year ex-
ceeded the dividend of the shareholders, but he was sure
the shareholders did not grudge that, as it showed what a
vast amount of business had been done. lie was happy to say
that the business of the bank was satisfactorily increasing,
and that all the branches continued remunerative.
(Cheers.) Adverting to the property of the company in
Princes-street, he observed that for a frontage of Pi
feet it had obtained under the award of the
arbitrator 43,000/. from the corporation of London.
The bank premises in Chancery-lane had also proved very
valuable, many of the chambers being well let, and the
new Palace of Justice being about to be erected in the
vicinity. In conclusion he remarked that the board, for
very good reasons, proposed that the vacancy in the
direction caused by the death of Hr. Gilchrist should not
be tilled up on that occasion, but that the matter should
be left in their hands.

Mr. SLATER could not understand why so large an
amount should be carried forward. He objected to so much
care for posterity ; all the money earned within the half-
year ought to be divided among the existing proprietors.
He did not see why the shares of that company should be
so low in the market. It was said that the company had
made a large advance to some railway company on debeu-
tares or Lloyd's bonds, and he should be glad if the
chairman would state whether or not that was true.
• . .

Mr. REEVE wished for definite informationwitrregard
to the company's property in Fleet-street
Mr. EIia:JERALD concurred with a previous speaker in
his objection to the carrying forward of so large an amount.
Having watched the proceedings of other banks he found
that in the preceding half-year none of them carried over
more than 2,000!., while in their own ease the amount was
79,000 f. The policy on which the earnings of that
bank were appropriated was not approved on
the Stock Exchange. All admitted that the bank was a
sound one, but when money had been earned it was kept
from the shareholders on cue pretext or other—(hesr, hear)
—and hence it was that the shares were so much below
their real value. (Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN, in replying, observed that that was not
the period at which all the profits were divided, and he
believed that the shareholders would not be dissatisfied in
July next. He did not think any of them as
merchants divided the whole of the profits
before the end of the financial year. The ques-
tion was one for tho next meeting, and no alter-
ation could be made now. As regarded acceptances, the
rule of that bank was never to grant to any firm an unco-
vered credit. It made no advances for which it did not
have security of the ralueof 255. foreveryWareceived. Tho
premises in Fleet-street had been let to a good tenant on
satisfactory terms. As regarded securities, no one ever
saw in that bank a Lloyd's bond, and no one had any
money of theirs for which they did not hold ample rea-
lisable security.
The report and accounts were then adopted ; and a divi-
dend at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum, and a bonus of
2i per cent. having been declared, a vote of thanks to the
directors terminated the proceedings.

WHITEHALL, JAN. s.—The Queen has been
pleased togrant unto the Rev. Henry Longueville Mengel,
8.D., the office and place of Regius Professor in Ecclesias-
tical History in the University of Oxford, in the room of
Walter Wadilinirton Shirley, D.D, deceased.-61aulfe.
DEATH OF MIL WILLIAM KIDD.—The death is
announced this morning of Mr. William Kidd, an author
who has for many years pest been known as a writer of
interesting books on a variety of subjects connected with
natural history. Mr. Kidd was 64 years of age.
ETON COLLEGE.—The Christmas vacation will
terminate on Wednesday next, the 16th inst., with the re-
turn of the lower boys. The fifth and aixth forms arrive
at the College ou the following days.
THE Paula or Bovrr.—Lord Clarence Paget,
commander-in-chief in the Mediterranean, is about to pro-
ceed to Egypt to invest the Pacha with the Order of the
Bath. The ceremony is to be one of extraordinary
splendour.

POOTUALL.—ETON AND HARROW V. THE WORLD.
—This great match, which had been anticipated with con-
siderable interest by lovers of the exciting game, and about
the result of which much speculation existed, was to have
been played yesterday at Battersea-park, but in conse-
quence of the extremely unfavourable state of the weather
and the sloppiness of the ground it did not take place.
HICHTLY PPNISHED.—Joseph Slater, a colliery
deputy, was charged before • bench of magistrates at
Bishop Auckland, in the county of Durham. on Monday
last, with having endangered the safety of Spenny Moor
Colliery, by exhibiting a naked light in the pit. The
charged was proved, ai.d it was stated that there were
upwards of 100 men and boys in the pit at the time the
light was exhibited. The bench fined the defendant 2!.
or one month's imprisonment. Several of the workmen
had refused to go into the pit if the defendant was allowed
to act in the same capacity as he had done.
The Daily Telegraph this morning says :—" We
have the best authority for saying that the statement to
which we referred yesterday, of Sir Morton Poto's con-
templated retirement from the representation of Bristol,
is unfounded. Sir Morton has no intention of retiring."
ST. KATHARINE'S HOSPITAL, REGENT'S PARK.
—The hospital has, or should have, its interest for all
England, as the one religious community of the kind that
has come down to us from the middle ages ; and if the
contrast between the magnificent mediseval theory and the
ludicrous modern fact is a little too complete, we cannot
help it. The original design, repeated in successive
charters, WAR as beneficent as can well be conceived. The
master was to be a " professed priest," to reside con-
stantly in the hospital, and " fully go through the duty
and function of his office" there. The brothers and sisters
were to be always present at Divine serviee, except when
employed about other necessary business ; they were to
spend the rest of their time in visiting the sick and in-
firm, " as well as reading to them and asking them ques-
tions in any matter of divinity, as in other works of
charity." " Scholars were to be taught, abundant alms
distributed—in short, St. Katherine's precints was to be •
model parish, under the immediate eye of its royal pa-
tronesses. To its substantially performing its parochial
functions, we take it to be owing that it was not wholly
secularised in the evil days of Seymour, Fleming, and
Wilson ; and even into the nineteenth century it still did
its duty, perhaps after • feeble fashion, and certainly with
no assistance from its masters—one cannot readily inns-
gine the Earl of Faversham, or the Hon. George Berkeley,
M.P., or Sir Herbert Taylor, troubling themselves much
abo .t the details of district-visiting in the queer localities
eastward of the Tower—yet still with fairly honest pur-
pose and performance on the part of the brotherhood of
the time. Now, the brothers preach so many sermons •
year ; the sisters, perhaps, inspect the needlework of the
eijiteen little girls ; the master and the bedespeople do
nothing at all but among them they manage to fatter
away some 7,000!. a year, let us hope to their own
faction : it can hardly be to that of anybody else.—Frioar's
Magazine for January.

MO Er ZARKET.-(THIS DAY.);

Oxs o'CLuos.

The English funds opened firmly this morning,
at the last quotations of yesterday, but have since
declined per cent., in c..msequence of specu-
lative realisations. The reduction would,
perhaps, have been more important, but for
the re-investment of a portion of the dividends, the
payment of which commenced this morning,
together with a short supply of stock at
the settlement. As affording some idea as to
the extent of the purchases since the last iccouni,
ending en the 6th ult., it may it mentioned that
the rise in Consols has been as much as
21 per cent. British railway stocks are fiat,
and have experienced a fall ranging from to
per cent. Foreign securities show dulness, but- the
decline in prices is neither general nor important.
Banking shares are rather firm, and financial in-
active.

In the discount market to-day the sapply of
money has largely increased, owing to the payment
of the dividends, and the rates for bills show a
drooping tendency. The current quotation is
called 3.1 per cent., but transactions have occurred
at 3 and 311, or 4, to below the Bank tis;h;oluta.
Consols are now quoted 91 to ex div., both
for money and to-morrow's settlement, and 91/
to I, ex div., for the February account.
Turkish of 1865 and Mexican bonds are
dull, and exhibit a decline of / to / per cent.,
but the other speculative descriptions are
unchanged. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted
64 to 55, es: div. ; ditto of 1865, 32/ to / ; Greek,
14/ to ; Spanish Passive, 211 to 1; ditto Certi-
ficates, 144 to 1; Italian of 1861, 53/ to it, e%
div. ; Mexican, 174 to 18 ; and Russian Scrip, lti
to 11 prem.

United States 3-20 Bonds have receded per
cent., and Erie Railway shares 1, but Illinois
Central have improved 1. The present quotations
are :-5-20 Bonds, 72} to 1 ; Erie Railway shares,
451 to 46 ; and Illinois Central, 801 to 811.
Anglo-American Telegraph shares are quoted
15/ to 16, and Atlantic Telegraph 8 per cent, pre-
ference to 1, showing no change.
International Financial shares are quoted 21
to 21 dia. ; London Financial, 16 to 15 dis. ;
General Credit, 11 to 11 dis., ex all ; Credit Fonder,
5 to 41 dis. ; National Discount, 94 ton prem. ;
and Hudson's Bay, 161, to 1, ex div.
At the meeting to-day of the proprietors of the
Union Bank of London the directors' report stated
the net profits for the six months at 139,552 i., and
recommended a dividend and bonus for that
period, at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum, clear
of income tax.

It is notified that the transfer-books of the War-
rant Finance Company will be closed from Thurs-
day, the 10th, until Thursday, the 24th inst., both
days inclusive, preparatory to the ordinary general
meeting.

There were no bullion operations at the Bank yes-
terday. Of the 800,000/. in Australian gold on the
way to England a large portion will probably
arrive within the next fortnight, and, according to
present appearances, will be sent into the Bank.
The amount of gold engaged for transmission to
Brazil by the steamer leaving Southatupten to-
day is only 700/.

The silver market remains dull, with very few
transactions. There is still no inquiry for the
East, and the demand for the Continent is only
trilling. Bars are quoted ss. Old. to bs.
per ounce ; and Mexican dollars, 4e.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
dull. The rates for bills on Hamburg and for short
drafts on Paris were quoted somewhat less few:4r-
ably for this country. The list is subjoined :

Amsterdam, 3 months, 11.181 to Il.loj ; ditto, short,
11.151 to 11.161; Rotterdam, 3 months, 11.19 to Milt!:
Antwerp, 3 mouths, 25.371 to 25.40; Brussels, 3 months,
25.371 to 23.40 ; Hamburg and Altona, 3 months, 13.71 to

date, 511 to 511.
We understand that Mr. W. H. Holyland, the
official liquidator of the Commercial Bank Corpora-
tion of India and the East, is about to apply to
the Court of Chancery to sanction the payment,
early in February, of a dividend of 6s. Bd. in the
pound. This dividend would have been 10s. but
for obstacles raised by some of the creditors and
shareholders at Bombay to the remittance of the
funds from there, which will now have to be made
available for a second dividend.

The question of a call of 401. per share on the
shareholders of Barned's Banking Company
(Limited) stands for hearing on Saturday next be-
fore the Master of the Rolls,

An extraordinary meeting of the English and
Foreign Credit Company (Limited) was held yester-
day, when the resolution for the voluntary liquida-
tion of the undertaking, passed at a previous
meeting, with a view to the reduction of the liabi-
lity on the shares, was confirmed.
The London, Blighton, and South Coast Railway
traffic return shows this week a decrease of r.g. com-
pared with the corresponding period of last year ;
the Metropolitan, an increase of 1,194!. ' • and the
Glasgow and South Western, a decreaa, of 390 t.
The half-yearly meeting of the Australian Trust
Company is called for the 31st inst. . .

A coinmitnication from the secretary of the
Madras Irrigation and Canal Company intimates
that "the committee of the Stock Exchange. upon
application and proper proof, on Monday ordered
that the sham of this company shall in future be
quoted under the head British Possessions,' with
the words Guaranteed 5 per Cent.' added."
