DRAM OF A PRISONER IN WARWICK SOL.—
An inquiet was held on Tuesday week at the County Gaol
at Warwick to inquire into the cause of death of one of the
prisoners (George Thompson), who had been found dead In
his cell early on the previous morning. The inquiry wee
adjourned until the following Friday, in order that a poet
*torrent examination might be made, and on that day wee
farther adjourned until Monday, in consequence of it
having transpired that 17 of the prieoners had forwarded a
statement of their opinion as to the cause of the
death of Thompson to the Rome Secretary, end to
Lord Leigh, one of the visiting junticee. On Monday
them communication, were produc-d, but their con-
tents were not allowed to transpire beyond the jury.
Four of the prisoners were examined, and additional
medical evidence given. The facts slicked showed that the
man had been compelled to work on the treadwheel when he
was not lit to perform any laborious work, and that the
medical treatment wee not the beet adapted for the owe. The
prison officiate eetermined the idea that the deceased was
tt etommionr" in coder to avoid work, and this in some met-
, ewe accounts for his exceptional treatment. The coroner
stated that he had every reason to believe the Home-ofllne
would bare prosecuted the inquiry had be not ooutinutd it,
after receiving the communication forwarded by the prisoners
to the Secretary of State. The inquiry wee resumed on
Wedeeeday afternoon, when the following verdict was given
—" Died from syncope, cowed by debility, brought on by
his abstaining from taking a eadicient supply of food, and
puswaing a course of coedit& calculated to deceive the Rothe-
rham of the Fawn. more particularly the medical attendants,
es to the real data of hie health."
WOLT-HUNTERB.—The Echo de Vegans reit an
account of a grand wolf hunt at Genie (Dordogne , by M.
Piston Auhonne, master of wolf-bounds, and • party of
about twenty gentlemen on horseback and some 400 persona
on foot, most of them armed with guns. They drat pro-
ceeded to a wood which a litter of young wolves was known
to frequent. The hounds soon found one of them and killed
it after a short run. The next day not a wolf could be
found asyvkire, but on the following morning several were
discovered, and onset them wee shot. At • dinner_ given by
one of the sportsmen he treated his friends to a dish of cut-
lets., which were found rather tough end insipid. Re after-
wards told them that what they had eaten had been cut
from the animal killed that day. Most of the party seemed
I to think that the joke bad been certied rather too far.

Little business bad been done in the foreign stock

at 661 to 671. Spanish Bonds are rather
more enquired for. Mexican remain fiat.

In the discount market yesterday there were a few
transactions at 21 per cent., but most of the princi-
pal establishments continue to demand the Bank
rate on good bills. The business at the Bank was to
a moderate amount.
Payments continue to be made on account of the
call of 400,0001. due to-morrow on the capital of the
Great Indian Peninsula Railway, so that the sum
to be provided on that day will be only moderate.
Of the nature and value of the cargo of the
Royal Charter nothing is yet known, the vessel
having sailed from Melbourne eight or nine
days after the date of the latest advicee re-
ceived thence. It is stated that, in addition to the
79,000 ounces of gold, valued at 316,0001., known to
be on board, she had a large number of sovereigns;
and a further considerable aggregate was doubtless"
in the possession of the four hundred passengers who
have perished almost within sight of their place of
destination. Scientific aid will doubtless be called
in as promptly as possible, with a view to attempt
the recovery of a portion of this mass of treasure.
The liability rests principally upon insurance offices
in London, one of which is said to suffer heavily,
bat partly upon Lloyd's. The vessel itself was in-
sured for about 60,0001., of which 20,0001. will fill
upon London, and the rest upon Liverpool sod the
Clyde. Subject to the prospect of recovery of the
gold, the total loss probably does not fall far short
of half a million sterling. The Royal Charter was
noted for her sailing qualities, having, on her last
outward voyage, reached Melbourne from Liverpool
in 59 days, whilst her five previous pas-
sages, according to the Melbourne Argus,
were accomplished respectively in 59, 64, 62, 83,
and 64 days. The last voyage out and come
occupied only about five months, inclusive of the
detention at Melbourne. The Royal Charter was
owned by Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., of Leer-
pool, and registered 2,164 tons. She was propelled
by an auxiliary screw.
Owing to cue numerous shipping casualties re-
ported, there was some excitement at Lloyd's to-day.
They have been principally confined, however, to
coasting or small foreign vessels, ocean-trading ships
having, with the one melancholy exception, escaped;
and this circumstance tends to circumscribe the
sgcregate loss.
The Calcutta and China mails, viii Marseilles, are
expected to be distributed in London on Monday.
A telegram from St. Petersburg, dated on Thurs-
day, quotes the exchange on London at 34 15-16 i,
and describes the weather as milder.
The Eastern Counties Railway traffic return shows

cashire), an increase of 3,0301.; the Midland, an

2,6041. ; and the South Eastern an increase of 1,422/.
The half-yearly meeting of the Globe Insurance
Company was held yesterday, at the offices in Coishill,
Mr. Thomas M. Coombs in the chair. After a favour-
able statement of the results of the business of the
current year had been submitted, the usual dividend
at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum (free of income

tax) was declared.
With reference to the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway, the securities of which are held to someez-
tent in Europe, the Philadelphia Bulletin has the
following:
A notice in the Ledger, referring to the Reading Railroad
Company, and toe probable resignation of Mr. Cullen, the
preaideat, would lead to the inference that there was dinette-
faction in the board. This we learn is not the case. But it
is necessary that the company should have a representative in
Europe to attend to certain affairs maturing in 1860, which is
now near at hand, aced it is believed that so one is so com-
petent for this office as Mr. Cullen. It is, therefore, probable
that he will go to Europe, and the presidency will be assigned
to some one else. But no change will be made until the
board has had fall deliberation sad bee determined upon a fit
succorer who shall be satisatory to all concernel.
The paition of the market for American sectritise
is thus noticed by Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co.:
The market for American securities during the past week,
although very firm, has been lees active, and the alma
transactions both in state and railroad bonds have no: been
to an extent to affect prices, which remain without ctomge.
