IHE CABMEN'S SUNDAY STRIKE AT EDINBURGH.—
Sunday last the strike was continued with considerable
unanimity, though one or two vehicles might be seen at
each of the principal stands.—. Edinburgh, Courant.
TURKISH STOCK.—The whole amount having been
paid on the original 2,000,0001. of Turkish stock, it was
quoted yesterday in the ordinary form. The transactions
were at 74, 74k, and 73i, and the final quotation was
73i to 741, or 6 discount.
FRENCH FUNDS.—The letters from Paris attribute the
prolonged fall in the French funds to the general im-
pression that a large loan, probably to the amount of
20,000,0001., is imminent. Railway shares are still
maintained with comparative firmness, owing to the
continuance of satisfactory receipts on the various lines.
THE DEATH OF MRS. O'HARA AT BRISTOL.—An
inquest was held yesterday at Bristol before Mr. W. J.
Ellis, respecting the death of Mrs. O'Hara, who, as will
be recollected, was discovered in a state of filth and
destitution and suffering from disease, and had been re-
moved from her house to the Clifton Union. The
evidence given formed a recapitulation of the circum-
stances already mentioned, and proved that the death
of the deceased arose from dropsical effusion, but that
the immediate cause of it was the drain on the system
and the mortified state of her body. The jury returned
a verdict—" Died from natural causes. At the same
time we express our great indignation and disgust at the
filthy state in which Mr. O'Hara allowed his wife to
remain."
