DEATH FRO.' DESTITU2ION.

4
Yesterday morning Mr. i 3. Raffles Walthew, the
deputy coroner for East Mk dlesex, opened an in-
quiry at the Sir George Osborn's Head public-house,
Princes-street, Whitechapel, on view of the body of
Elizabeth Carey, aged 64 years, who died under
very distressing circumstances at a wretched place
situated at No. _W, Eagle-place, at the back of the
Pavilion Theatre, Whitechapel road.
Jane Harris, a logger in the house, deposed that
the deceased was a widow, and had obtained a
scanty living by making slop shirts. She rented a
small room, and paid I.s. 6d. per week. The place
was without furniture. S'he would not apply tothe•
parish for relief, but had loon visited by
te th paro-
chial surgeon for illness. On. Oaturday witness
went into deceased's room and Aiund her in a very
weak and dying state, lying upon a heap of dirty
rags in the corner, on the floor. he place was in
h wretched and filthy condition, w,:thout food or
firing. Witness questioned the deceased, but she
as starv-
could scarcely articulate. She told witriCss that she
had not bad any food for nine days, and vb'
ing. A neighbour was called in, who gave her a
little weak brandy and water, while a mess enger
ran for Mr. Champneys, the medical officer,. who
attended, but the deceased had expired before his
arrival.
Mr. Alex. Champneys, the parochial surgeon to
the Whitechapel Union, stated that he was called L'.43
the deceased on Saturday last, and found her in a.
shocking condition and lifeless upon a heap of filthy.
rags. The body was much emaciated, and thinly
clad. He had made a post mortenA examination of
the body, and had found the stomach perfectly
empty. On opening the head he found an effusion
of serum in the ventricles of the brain. Death had,
no doubt, been accelerated by want of the common
necessaries of life, and _long exposure to the in-
clemency of the weather. He had attended the

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHILDREN IN WORK-

The Earl of WICK LOW presented a petition, complain-
ing that the Presbyterian religion had been given to a
Roman Catholic child in a poorhouse near Glasgow. The
petitioners prayed for inquiry.

The Duke of ARGYLL said, if the noble lord would
supply him with the particulars of the case he had men-
tioned, he would forward it to the Board of Supervision in
Scotland, whom, he was sure, would take such steps as the
justice of the case required.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

There was only a moderate supply of beasts on offer here
to-day, yet all kinds met a dull inquiry, at Monday's cur-
rency. The best Scots and crosses sold at 4s 4d per 8 lbs.
The show of sheep was limited for the time of year. Downs
in the wool were in fair request, at extreme rates; but
long-wooled sheep were very inactive, on former terms.
Lambs commanded Monday's quotations, viz., from 6s to
7s per 8 lbs. The few calves on offer moved off slowly;
nevertheless, prices were supported. The top quotation
was 5s 4d per 8 lbs. Pigs were quite as dear as last week ;
ut mulch cows sold heavily.

WESTERN OF FRANCE.

The annual meeting of this company was held on
the 29th nit in Paris—M. Simon in the chair.

The report stated that the total expenditure on
capital account to the 31st of December last
amounted to 596,044,201 f. (£23,841,768), including
45,177,049 f. (X 1,807,082) subscriptions from the
Government and towns served by the railway. The
expenditure on capital account during the year
1861, on the old and new lines, was 39,617,392 f.
(£1,584,696). The length of the line worked by the
company was
.1,213 kilometres (758 miles). The
gross receipts for the year 1861 amounted to
55,221,356 f. (£2,208,854), and to 50,923,080
(X 2,036,923) in 1860, showing an ,increase of
4,298,275 f. (£171,931). After certain deduc-
tions from the gross receipts for taxes
and subscriptions to other undertakings in
connection with the railway, the receipts
for the year amounted to 49,784,729 f.
(£1,991,389). The total expenses amounted to
20,958,537 f. (£838,341), leaving a balance of
28,826,192 f. (X 1,153,048). After deducting in-
terest on loans and other charges, the balance for
dividend was sufficient to pay 42.50 f. per share for
the year, or 8-t- per cent. ; of which the sum of
17.50 f., or 31 per cent., was paid in October, and
25f. per share, or 5 per cent., was to be paid in the
present month, leaving a balance of 144,147 f.
Resolutions were passed adopting the report, and
declaring the dividend.

^4ltri°tlllle ita fully as Leotard has that of the
"wondrous" philanihrt,Tio institutions, and other bodies
which for the purposes of their' re-unions have to take
Cremorne-;ardens, make excursions on tilt river, or huddle
together in a theatre, will be glad to learn that it has been
determinec to mako the Canterbury Hall available far
benefits. Co say nothing of the varied character of the
arrangements, or of the great attraction offered by the Fine
Arts Galbry, the learned in such matters will perceive
that the spacious halls furnish a splendid rendezvous for the
patrons and friends of charitable institutions, such as the
Licensed Victuallers, &c., &c., and that the profits to the
undertakings are likely to be much greater when the official
" whips have room and opportunity for giving a fillip
to the practical benevolence of the visitors. Especially is
the Canterbury Hall and its Picture Gallery suitable for
the afternoon visits of schools in connection with institu-
tions, Br. It possesses great advantages over the theatres,
because the social intercourse which takes place is favour-
able to that loosening of the purse strings so helpful to the
cause of charity, and so inspiriting to the promoters of
benevolent objects. Lambeth will be the principal gainer
by this resolve, although there is no reason why other
localities should not avail themselves of the boon.

THE CONDEMNED CONVICT A
BOD.ALTN.

The criminal, John Doulgv, w ho was on Thurs-
day last sentenced to death b y Mr. Justice Wil-
Hams, for the murder of Roger Drew, at St.
Stephen's by Launce.sten, con Unties to manifest the
same stoical demean our as that which charac-
terised him both before and during his trial. It is
true that he talks of the dis
which he has
brought upon himself, that he g
has scud nothing
which would indicate contrition for his fearful
crime. It is a remarkable fact find from the first
moment of his arrest he has never denied that he
murdered the old man. He 'eats, drinks, and sleeps
as usual ; in fact, there is nothing in his conduct or
manner of paoing his days and nights which would
lead one to suppcse that he was so rapidly approach-
ing the terminatio.
ri of his life. There is no general-
specified rule as to hOw long after the trial of a cul-
prit for murder his execution shall take place.
Usually he is allowed two Sundays after the judges
have left the assize toTA7n, but -various customs pre-
vail in the different coun ties. Thus at Winchester,
thole present assizes, the Fordi ngbridge murderer
was allowed three Sundays s fter :;his condem-
nation ; and whilst Monday is th e day generally
selected for the execution, the veAry last case of
capital punishment carried out in Exeter—that
of the unfortunate Hacked—took piece on alSatur-
day, viz., March 30,1861. In Cornwal'l, however, the
extreme penalty of the law is carried ad on Mon-
day. The last execution for murder at Vokimin took
place in the summer of 1856, and this, As. in most
other places, was over the entrance to th e zounty
gaol. Since that time every vestige of
:th e old
prison has been swept away, and on its site has
been
erected the extensive and substantial pile of ctr.s tel-
lated buildings which now constitute the Cornviall
County Prison. The entrance is on the north-e3st
side of the building, and the drop is at the south'r
west end. On the west side it is obscured from view'
by the high boundary walls, nor can it be seen on
the north side of the gaol, but on the south and east
the view of the drop is uninterrupted. The con-
demned convict strenuously denies that he had an
to do with participating in the murder a
Mary White, of Buckland Monachorum, in Oct.,
1852, and as he is now but 28 years of age, there
does not seem to be much foundation for the rumour
which has been for some weeks in circulation, to the
effect that Corber and this man were accomplices in
that murder, for he could
years of age. As a very slight footfall can be heard
in the corridors of the building, no prisoners are al-
lowed in that part of the gaol where th e wretehed
man is confined. The execution is to tab.', place on
Monday next at noon.— Western Morning, -News.

degree of agitation and discontent among the
rural populations of the mountains crossed by
Garibaldes army. There have been several col-
lisions between the Garibaldians and the pea-
sants, who were not willing to let the volunteers
take their oxen. As for the words, England aids
me ; England supports me,' it appears that they
were really uttered. I also know for certain that
Sir J. Hudson, the English Minister at Turin, when
interrogated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs as
to the truth of those words of Garibaldi, immedi-
ately telegraphed to Lord Palmerston, who this
morning replied that the Queen's Government had
done nothing to authorise the language used by
Garibaldi; and that, far from encouraging him in
his rash enterprises, orders had been sent to the
English squadron at Malta to watch the coast of
Sicily and oppose any landing. I can assure you
of the truth of this news."

MIDLAND.

The report of the directors states that the receipts
for coaching during the past half-year amounted to
£339,956, showing an increase of £9,943 ; for mer-
chandise, £421,318, showing an increase of £4,032;
for minerals, £212,280, showing a decrease of
£38,275 ; cattle, £14,176, showing an increase of
£1,509 ; the result being a decrease in the receipts
of £22,791 as compared with the corresponding
period of last year. While the receipts from all the
other sources of traffic exhibit an increase, those
from the carriage of minerals show a large defi-
ciency, caused chiefly by the very depressed state of
the general trade of the country, The balance
available for dividend is £349,894, of which £7,287
is brought from the previous half-year. The direc-
tors recommend the declaration of a dividend of
£2 15s. per cent. on the ordinary consolidated
stock, and of £2 ls. 3d. per cent. on the Birming-
ham and Derby stock ; at the usual rate on the pre-
ferential stocks ; and of ls. 6d. per share, being for
half a year on £2 14s. paid, on the £6 4s. shares,
leaving a balance of £2,081 for the next account.
The sum of £39,176 having been realised from pre-
miums upon shares sold, the directors are of opinion
it should be placed to the credit of the insurance
fund against loss by fire. With this addition the
fund amounts to £54,461, and as the interest to
accrue upon it yearly will probably be sufficient for
the purposes required, they propose to discontinue
the provision of £3,000 per annum hitherto placed
to this account.

The Tewkesbury and Malvern Railway Act pro-
vides that the Midland Railway Company may be-
come shareholders to the extent of £40,000, and
may appoint two directors by virtue of holding this
amount, and a resolution authorising that subscrip-
tion will be submitted to the meeting. The capital
account shows that £22,069,646 had been expended,
leaving a balance against the company of £322,237.
The revenue account for the half-year ending 30th
of June shows that £997,534 had been received, and
£440,198 expended on working, £190,494 for in-
terest on loans and guaranteed shares, £740 inte-
rest to bankers, £1,782 Matlock deficiency, £21,213
North-Western rental, £5OO redemption of mort-
gages, leaving a disposable balance of £349,895,
against £379,393 at the corresponding period of
1861.

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex-
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive.
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin•
ciples."

Usually he is allowed two Sundays after the judges
have left the assize town, but varioa,s customs pre-
vail in the different counties. Thus, at Winchester,
these present assizes, the Fordingb.ridge murderer
was allowed three Sundays after lhie condem'
nation ; and whilst Monday is the ,day generally'
selected for the execution, the very last case of
capital punishment carried out in Exeter—that
of the unfortunate Hacked—took place on aiSatur-
day, viz., March 30, 1861. In Cornwall,h,lwever, the
extreme penalty of the law is carried out on Mon-
day. The last execution for murder at Bodunin took
place in the summer of 1856, and this, as I,n most
other places, was over the entrance to the comity
gaol. Since that time every vestige of the o,ld
prison has been swept away, and on its site has beat
erected the extensive and substantial pile of castel-
lated buildings which now constitute the Cornwall
County Prison. The entrance is on the north -east
side of the building, and the drop is M the south-
west end. On the west side it is obscured from v;evr
by the high boundary walls, nor can it be seen .on
the north side of the gaol, but on the south and east
the view of the drop is uninterrupted. The con-.
demned convict strenuously denies that he had any-
thiDg to do with partricipating in themurder o'
Mary White, of Buckland Monachorumm, in Oct., f
1852, and as he is now but 28 years of age, there
does not seem to be much foundation for the rumour
which has been for some weoks in circulation, to the
effect that Corber and this rot.'s were accomplices in
that murder, for he could then have been but 18
years of age. As a very slight footfall can be heard.
in the corridors of the building, no prisoners are al-
lowed in that part of the gaol where the wretehed
man is confined. The execution is to take place on
Monday next at noon.— Western Morning News.

MEXICO.

The Patrie states that no negotiation relative to
Mexican affairs will be resumed between the Go-
vernments of Paris and Madrid till the city of
Mexico is in possession of the French troops. But,
after the capture of that city, which the Cabinet of
Spain regards as a point involving the honour of
France, it is not impossible that the Spanish Govern-
ment may pr)pose to place the Mexican question
on the basis of the Convention of London, which
at Madrid is not considered as annulled, but only
suspended.

There is no additional intelligence from the
French army; but the Patrie guarantees the truth
of the report that Zaragoza has been defeated in an
attack on the position of Borrigo, taken and forti-
fied by the French, after the hurried retreat of the
Mexican forces. It adds that, though no precise
details of the second engagement have been re-
ceived, the loss of the Mexicans amounted to 4,000
men, and that the moral effect of the defeat has
been very great.

Heavy rains and a north wind are said to have
cooled the atmosphere of the terra caliente, and, as
a consequence, the number of cases of yellow fever
in Vera Cruz have diminished.

FRANCE.

The Civil Tribunal of the Seine yesterday gave
judgment in the suit of MM. Binet and Crochard
against M.Mires, the original founder of the Society
of the Ports of Marseilles, and the representatives of
the Caisse Generale des Chemins de Fer. The Tri-
bunal declared the action to be well founded against
M. Mires, but not against the Caisse Generale des
Chemins de Fer, which had only received a. fair
commission as a banking-house; it also rejected
their demand against the founders and members of
the council of surveillance, who had had nothing
to do with the advertisements published by M.
Mires, and only received out of the sum of 5,000,000 f.
the equivalent of the payments made by them to
the amount of 150 f. per share. In consequence, the
Tribunal condemned M, Mires to restore to M. Binet,
the holder of 600 shares, and to M. Crochard, the
holder of 64 shares, 50f, per share, without inte-
rest, on their proving the numbers of their shares,
on which M. Mires shall be authorised to mention
the payment made by him. M. Mires was further
condemned to pay the costs of the suit against him.

AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.—The
"limes," the " Lancet," and other leading journals
have been lately canvassing the social considerations in-
volved in " the amount of death and disease caused by vice."
Some interesting statistics are brought to bear upon the
inquiry ; but it would greatly add to their value if they in-
cluded the facts respecting the origin, the ravages, and the
prevention of that SPECIAL VICE, which wars more than any
other against the welfare of society—destroying the happi-
ness and disappointing the objects of matrimony, under-
mining the constitutions, blasting the prospects, embittering
and shortening the lives of its.victims, and spreading desola-
tion through families.

The essential particulars relating to this great social evil
(the besetting snare of inexperienced youth and the curse of
maturity), together with ample instructions for removing its
tflects, and recovering health, vigour, and all the ennobling
privileges of our being, are contained in Dr. LA'MERT'S

A FEW LINES FOR A FLY-PAPER.
BOTHER the flies I now their nuisance commences,
Biting and buzzing from morning till night,
Sticking on papers, annoying our senses,
Sprawling in liquids, offending the sight.
Basins of sugar audaciously robbing,
Nipping our noses and blinding our eyes,
Into our coffee vexatiously bobbing,
Hark I the loud chorus of " Bother the flies I"

You want forty winks, and give way to the feeling,
When just as you dreamily fall in a doze,
A fly, by desire of his friends on the ceiling,
Performs a pas-seul on the tip of your nose;
Or dinner is over, and buzzing the bottle,
As in, busy buzzing, some bluebottle pries,
Your health is proposed, you respond, and your throttle
Is choked with a spluttering " Bother the flies !",

At tea all in vain we anathemas utter,
Of peace and of pieces each mortal they bilk,
That impudent fly oils his hair with your butter,
Who takes every morning his bath in your milk.
Of patience exhauster, of temper a nettler,
Philosophy only can hinder the cries,
Of " Bother the "—fiff I I think that was a settler—
Missed him, by jingo !.._of

MIDLAND.

The report of the directors states that the receipts
for coaching during the past half-year amounted to
£339,956, showing an increase of £9,943 ; for mer-
chandise, £421,318, showing an increase of £4,032 ;
for minerals, £212,280, showing a decrease of
£38,275 ; cattle, £14,176, showing an increase of
£1,509 ; the result being a decrease in the receipts
of £22,791 as compared with the corresponding
period of last year. While the receipts from all the
other sources of traffic exhibit an increase, those
from the carriage of minerals show a large defi-
ciency, caused chiefly by the very depressed state of
the general trade of the country, The balance
available for dividend is £349,894, of which £7,287
is brought from the previous half-year. The direc-
tors recommend the declaration of a dividend of
£2 15s. per cent. on the ordinary consolidated
stock, and of £2 ls. 3d. per cent. on the Birming-
ham and Derby stock ; at the usual rate on the pre-
ferential stocks ; and of Is. 6d. per share, being for
half a year on £2 14s. paid, on the £6 4s. shares,
leaving a balance of £2,081 for the next account.
The sum of £39,176 having been realised from pre-
miums upon shares sold, the directors are of opinion
it should be placed to the credit of the insurance
fund against loss by fire. With this addition the
fund amounts to £54,461, and as the interest to
accrue upon it yearly will probably be sufficient for
the purposes required, they propose to discontinue
the provision of £3,000 per annum hitherto placed
to this account.

The Tewkesbury and Malvern Railway Act pro-
vides that the Midland Railway Company may be-
come shareholders to the extent of £40,000, and
may appoint two directors by virtue of holding this
amount, and a resolution authorising that subscrip-
tion will be submitted to the meeting. The capital
account shows that £22,069,646 had been expended,
leaving a balance against the company of £322,237.
The revenue account for the half-year ending 30th
of June shows that £997,534 had been received, and
£440,198 expended on working, £190,494 for in-
terest on loans and guaranteed shares, £740 inte-
rest to bankers, £1,782 Matlock deficiency, £21,213
North-Western rental, £5OO redemption of mort-
gages, leaving a disposable balance of £349,895,
against £379,393 at the corresponding period of
1861.

by him respecting the necessity of fortifying
this country
against our friendly allies the Emperor and people of France,
and the unnecessary and extravagant expenditure indulged
in by the Government, the prompters of the same policy in
other directions, hereby tenders its warmest thanks to him
for his able and independent opposition to the Government
schemes, which involve so great an
of
outlay
public money
for purposes which, after all, are likely to prove abortive ;
and this association also expresses its
high appreciation of
the dignified manner in whibh Mr. Cobden replied to the
ungenerous attacks of Lord Palmerstoll ill the course of 1
debates on those questions."
