A steady business is reported in the general dis-

At Paris this morning, according to Renter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 10c.
Owing to the fineness of the weather and the
quietude of business, the attendance at the Stock
Exchange to-day has been below the average.
There have been very few operations, and
those chiefly to close outstanding engagements.
Consols are without the slightest change at
90 I-, less the dividend for money and account.

ALLEGED POISONING.—Au inquest took place
yesterday before Mr Rupert Clark, coroner for
13erkshire, at the Prince Albert Inn, Clewers-green, Wind-
sor, into the circumstances attending the death of Mrs
Harriet Elizabeth Maria Ward, of Elm-lodge, Golders-
green, Ileudon. The deceased lady was 56 years of age,
and had died on the 3d of May, and been buried at
Windsor on the 9th of May. At the instance of
Mr Henry Ward, the brother-in-law of the deceased,
the present inquiry had been instituted, and the
body of Mrs Ward had been exhumed for examina-
tion. The evidence adduced was to the effect that
Mr Ward entertained suspicions that the deceased had been
poisoned by parties interested in the disposition of her pro-
perty, which had been left in her will away from his family.
An examination had been made by Professor A. S. Taylor
of certain portions of the body of the deceased lady, but no
poison was found, nor were the symptoms of the deceased
consistent with the action of any known poison. Death was
evidently from natural causes. The jury returned a ver-
diat in accordance with this evidence, and expressed an
orinion that the rumour which had prevailed in connection
with the names of certain friends of the deceased was totally
tie."ict of foundation,
