ACCIDENTAL POISONING OP A CHILD.

INQUEST.—(T HIS DAY.)
This forenoon Mr. Humphreys, the coroner, held
an inquiry at the London Hospital touching the death of
Jones Curtis, aged three years.
The deceased was the son of a tailor, living at 9, Coniston-
street, Whitechapel. On Sunday week he was playing
with a brass chain, and rubbing it over with a lboicl.
Michael Curtis, aged 11 years, said that he and his
brother went to Petticoat-lane to get a "pennyworth of
stuff to turn a brass chain into silver." They bought the
liquid in a bottle at a stall in the street. The man did
not my that it was poison, and he only sold the "stuff "
on Sundays. He used to turn things into silver.
He polished the things up with it, and witness
thought he could do it as well as the man. The deceased
drunk the contents of the bottle while witness's back
was turned, it was so strong that he could not say a word
after he took it. Witness should know the man again if
he saw him.

Mr. George M'Kenzie, resident medical of cer at the
hospital, said that the deceased had expired on Saturday
from the effect, of an irritant acid poison. He had not
had an opportunity of ascertaining the exact nature of the
poison contained in the bottle.
. . .

A juror said that he believed that it contained sul-
phone acid.
The Coroner said that he should get an analytical
chemist to discover the exact nature of the poison.
The jury returned a verdict " That the deceased was
accidentally killed by swallowing a certain poison, and
the said jurors further say that the deceased swal-
lowed the said poison without knowing the effect that
the act would cause."

MONEY MARKET.-(TIII8 DA.F.)

On elhow.

Owing to the very satisfactory tenor of the
accounts from Italy, the stock markets are decidedly
better to-day, and prices have experienced an almost
general advance. The rise would probably be still
greater but for the announcement of the failure
of the Royal Bank of Liverpool, and a consequent
fear that many of the public securities upon which
it has made advances may soon be sold. Consols
are in prominent request, and have risen 1. to
per cent. The Three per Cents. Reduced
and New Three per Cents. are 1 higher
upon a continuance of purchases on banking an.
count. As regards railway stocks, the principal
upward movement is in Caledonian. Most of the
foreign bond have improved ; the advance in
Italian of 1861 amounts to nearly 1 per cent. Some
of the financial shares also meet with inquiry.
In the disco:int market to-day there is no altera-
tion, and the rate fur loans in the Stock Exchange
is still 1 per cent

ComoI; are quoted 94 to for money, and.
94!. to I for the account (Nov. 7). The 'Three
per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cent.
are called 92i to ;.

. .
The railway market is firmer, in sympathy with
the other departments of the Stock Exchange.
Caledonian stock is in good demand, and has risen
2 per cent., viz., to 91 to 4. Great Northern
(original) has improved 4 ; Great Western, 4 ; Great
Eastern, London ,Chatham,and Dover,and Brighien,
1; and South Eastern, 4. The present quotations
are as follows :—Metropolitan, 122 to 1 ; Great
Western, 43'5', to r ; London and North
Western, 112 to 1 ; Midland, nisi to 3 ;
Lancashire and Yorkshire, 126 to 1 ; Cale-
donian, 851 to / ; South Eaatetn, 654 to ; Great
Eastern, 314 to 32 ; Great Northern, 109 to
110 ; ditto A, 112 to ; Loudon, Chatham
and Dover, 1S to ; North British, 324 to 33 ;
and London, Brighton, and South Coast, 524 to 4.
Italian Bonds of 1861 are in good demand, at an
improvement of r per cent., the present price
being 45 to 4. Turkish of 1862 and Chilian scrip
are 4 higher, at 62 to 63, and 1 die. to par, respec-
tively, and other stocks are 4to 1 better. Turkish
of 1565 are at 314 to 3 ; Greek, 124 to 4 ; Spaniels.
Passive, 19 to 1 ; ditto Certificates, 161 to ; and
Mexican, 15 to 1.
American securities are firm, at an advance of
4 per cent. The 5-20 Bonds are at 691 to 1.
Erie Railway shares, 451 to 461 ; and Illinois Cen-
tral, 774 to 781.
Anglo-Amerman Telegraph shares are steady,
at 174 to and Atlantic Telegraph Eight per
Cent. Preference, at 34 to f.
Financial shares are rather firmer, and Inter-
national Financial and Credit Fonder have ad-
vanced 2s. 61., viz., to 24 to 24 dia. and 61 to 6
dia. respectively. London are quoted 24 to 22 din,
and General Credit, 24 to 24 dia.
There is a somewhat better demand for bank
shares, but prices generally are unaltered.
The stoppage of the Royal Bank of Liverpool
appears to bans been quite unexpected in the City,
and has causel a great deal of discussion in com-
mercial circles. This bank was originally established
in 1836, but failed 20 years ago, viz., i 01847. It is as
unlimited undertaking, so that the shareholdem
are liable for the whole of the debts. The reserve
fund was recently stated at 106,933/. The chair-
man is Mr. Francis Shand ; and Messrs. Samuel
Rohne, John Bibby, and Robert Hutchinson are
directors.

It is notified that the interest of 10s. per share,
or 2 per cent. for the past six months, will be
payable on the shares of the Lemberg-Czernowit:
Rsilway Company on the Ist of November.
. _ _

- .
There were no further withdrawals of bullion
from the Bank ye.terclay, the recent large arrivals,
chiefly from Australia, having satisfied for the
moment the requirements of exporters to the am-
tinent. _ .

The America, from New York, has brought
41,0001. in spcie for London ; and the Pers, from
Alexandria, 13.400/.
The South Eastern Railway traffic return shows
this week an increase of 3,4661. over last year ; and
the London, Brighton, and South Coast au increase
of 2,4161.
A correspondent well versed in the affairs of the
London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company
has printed, in tabular form, and " for private
circulation only," an abstract from the reports and
accounts to the 31st December, 1866, and 30th
June, 1867, showing the profit and loss for the year
18661867. The results at which he arrives are
that the net revenue for the year (of course after
deducting working expenses) was only 185,8791.,
and that, as the " charges not working expenses"
were 415,9251., the loss on the year was as much
as 230,046/.
An illustration of the way in which two steam
companies may by co-operation mutually benefit
each other is afforded in the report just issued
by the directors of the Royal Mail Steam
Company, which states that " the line of steam
communication established by the Panama, New
Zealand, and Australian Royal Mail Company,
forming, in connection with this company's lino,
the Panama route to New Zealand and Austra-
lia, having now been in operation over twelve
months, it affords tho directors of this
company much satisfaction to draw attention
to the highly successful manner in which the ser-
vice, embracing the long oceanvoyage from Panama
to New Zealand, and rice trrsa, has been, from the
commencement, performed by the vessels of that
company." This tribute totheethciencyof the young
Australian company is well deserved, and it is satis-
factory to believe that the friendly co-operation of
the two companies will continue to redound to the
advantage of both.
Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have announced
the dividends due the Ist November on Quebec
City Sterling Six per Cent. Bonds and Massachu-
setts State Sterling Five per Cent. Bonds.
