SATs ILDAT EVENING. A good general business continues to be done in the British mining stock market, which is marked by a firmer tone. Great Polgooth shares have again advanced materially. The gold mining share market continues dull, and the tendency of prices cannot be pronounced favoura ble, but at the same time no decided reduction has taken place. Agua Fria shares were weaker. Ge nerally this class of investment is neglecti d. The less accredited adventures, as might be anticipated 'o result from the recent exposures, are totally out of favour, and only saleable with difficulty. At 3 o'clock Colonial Gold were quoted 3 to 4 prem.; British Australian, 9-16 to 7-16 die.; Nouveau Monde, 5-16 to 7-16 prem.; Agua Fria, 11.16 to 13-16 prem.

SATURDAY EVININO. The English stock market to-day was again semi five, and characterised by a tendency towards fluc tuation. On the whole, although the market remains good intrinsically, being supported by its oversold position, yet the tendency can scarcely be said to have been in the direction of a rally. After several fluctuations, the market finally closed with a flat appearance, at rates nearly identical with those current at the termination of business yesterday. capital referred to in the resolutions po.sed at the extraordinary meeting of the 31st October last. A general court of the South Sea Company is called for the sth January, " for the purpose of de claring a dividend on the capital stock for the half year ending that day." Interest on the same paid on the Five-and-a-Half per Cent. Preference Shares of the Sambre and Meuse Railway is advertised as payable on the 2nd January. • No new political fact transpired during the day, but at the same time no amelioration could be discerned in the aspect of politics. The chief feature of the market consisted in the renewal of large money sales (Of the Three-and-a• Quarter per Cent. stock. The transfer books of Consols b!ing shut, it is next to THIS DAY.—Two o'CLoCK. Business in mining shares is suspended, to-day being observed as a strict holiday in the markets.

The North sale Whig, of the 30th ult., printed at Wilmington, North Carolina, publishes a condensed report of the trial of the Rev. Oeorge W. Carawan, foe the murder of Hr. C. H. Lander, a schoolteacher in Hyde county. The whole cue is remarkable, on account of the status of the brewed. the depravity developed, and the tragical issue of the trial Eminent c itiesel were arrayed for both the pro secutioa aad the defence, and much excitement prevailed during the preeediege. The paper before us gives the following particulars: Canine ern 56 years old, and for many yeses had been a popular preacher is the Baptist charch—a man of strong . sereising a powerful influence over his friends, and feared u much as hated by his foes. Lassiter was &quiet young man, engaged in th e business of teaching. Some month. be forel the murder, Lauber boarded in the bowie of Carawaa, and a quarrel cross between them, Carte wan allegiag that Lassiter was too lamellar with his (Cara won't a wile. Camino talked very freely song his 'ugh are on the aubjett ; said that Lassiter osght to be shot ; that shootiag wee too good for him ; and that he and Laseiter could not b. th live in the same neighbourhood sad finally tried to get oat a peace "recruit against Las siter. Ogling that he had attempted to take his life. He west Ca that way foe some time, when Lassiter sued him for sl,eder, *ring the damages at 2,000 dole. A kw hi un after the writ was served on Carawan, Lassiter was killed. He bad tini•bed a school on Rom bay, end on Monday, t►e l.Sth of November, 1852, started on foot, with a carpet beg a his hanJ, to go to the Lake, when hi had mimed soother school. About three o'clock pm. he passed Cara. wen's house on his way to the Lake. Shortly after he pew& Qumran left hie house, and went across the field toward the wood* which lie between the bones and the spot ma the road when Leasitgr was k•llcd, his wife following wit► a gas wrapped up in her apron. She returned to the loran immediately ; Carawan not tin sundown. That night M was absent from home. . Tunny he remained at home; but on Wednesday, a rainy day, he took • hoe and went into the woods, and was gees several hours. Os Thursday. before L. was mimed (the people on the Lake thinking he was at the Bay , and the eople on the Bay thinking he was at the Lak e). C. went to oats of the neighbour', and inquired if he h tees sayttine if L , stating that his (C.'.) busily had seen his I pass his house on Monday with &package of clothes, and he was thinking he had run away. On Friday evening, when told th .t the people were searching for L., he impressed great surprise that he should be missing— n had beard anything of it. Oa Saturday morning the search for Lassiter still going as, he wrote to a friend to come and see him—that Laseiter was missing—supported to be killed—sod added that he (cemen) was at home all day 31 today, Tuesday, and witdoesday, and that he could MT* it by Cilf•WID &Wylie (the main witness on the trial for the state), hie nephew, a boy who was living with hint. The body of Lassiter was found on Saturday *seising in the swamps behind Carew's'. house in an open lot, which was surrounded with briars, anderbtusb, er , and covered with moss. The tams over the grave had been carefully removed, the grave dug just large enough to hold the body, the body pressed into it, the grave filled up even with the surrounding earth and pressed down, and the moss carefully laid back upon it. The MOSS leaving no true: of a footprint, there was no sign that any body had ever been there, except that the moss over the grave had faded a little ; about a handful of fresh dirt was near it, and a dead limb of a tree had apparently been re may disturbed ; the bark, which had evidently jest fallen from it, lying in one spot and the limb in another. The men who were searching for the body bad stopped in this lonely spot to rest, having given up the search for the day, when these appearances attncted their attention, and the body was found. L was killed by gunshot wounds. Several shots were • taken from the body, three from the heart. There were three sloes of shot found in the body, and in one of the barrels of C.'s gun, found in his house, just such shot, and of three sines, were found. That night C. left Hyde county, telling his nephew (Sawyer) that if he stayed there he shouM be hung; that he should send for his family, and he (5 ) must go with them. On Sunday morning he landed from • canoe at Durhom's Creek mills, in Beaufort county, about thirty miles trots his home, telling the man who rowed him over that he was after a piece of laud which another man was trying to buy, and that was the reason of his hurry, and charging him to keep his movements a secret. From this time till his t at night in his house, in January following, the state did not know his whereabouts. But from letters received by the sheriff of Hyde, from Ten nessee, it seems he had been in that state, preaching under the assumed oame or John Forbes. After his imprisonment in Hyde County Gaol, he tried to get a friend to hire the witness Sawyer to go away. He had o ff ered this same witness, before the body of Lassiter was found, a negro, if he would swear that he, Carawn, was at home all Monday, the d on which the murder was committed. And while in Hyde gaol he wrote to a friend (the letters were produced in court), to get Sawyer out of the way. He had given, he said, in one of his letters, Mary (his wife) MO dole. to get Sawyer off ; if that would not do, give him 1,000 dole. If that would not do, he (his friend) must get rid of Sawyer tt by hook or by crook" and not suffer his (Carolina's) neck to be broke. The defence set up for the prisoner was, that three of the witnesses (including Sawyer) had sworn falsely, committed wilful and deliberate perjury, and thvt it was impassible for Cantina to have gnat through the woods, after Lassiter parsed his house, quick enough to have cut him off. The jury, atter a protracted sitting, brought in a verdict of guilty, and the judge ordered a recess of the court for an hour. As the crowd was 'caving, the prisoner suddenly drew two pistols, one of which be tired at Mr. Warren, the counsel fur the state, and with the other shot himself through the head, killing himself instantly. The ball of the other struck Mr. Warren Oa the breast, just above the heart, but fortunately glans ed off and left only a slight wound. The North Mate Whig says: Canteen maintained his self•control throughout the trial. He was as line looking a man as one would find among a thousand—tall, admirably built, with a massive !wad, showing, with enormous animal passing, large islet loci These passions have destroyed him, he having gives himself all his lite to their unbridled sway. His wife, ap parently about his own age, and his children, had been with him during the trial, acconspamying him to and from the court-how sad jail, • M. 100 IL 100 S.

IUV n 16 LORD PALMERSTON'S "NEW BURIAL GROUND RIOVLATIONS."—On Saturday the following letter was read at the vestry nseetioF of St. Maryleboue White- I hall, 22nd Dee., 1853.—Sir, I have laid before Viscount Palmerston your letter of the 20th inst., enclosing an extract from the Times of the 15th inst., headed 'New Burial Ground Regulations by Lord Palmerston,' and I am to inform you that these regulations were made and promulgated for the new burinl ground of the parishes of St. Margaret and SL John's, Westminster, only. How far they will be made applicable to the new burial grounds which may be provided by other parishes must depend upon the circumstances of each individual case.—l am, fir, your obedient servant, HENRY FITZROY." HULL AND HOLDERNESS RAILWAT.—A special general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the Station Hotel, Hull. on Saturday, to take into consideration the propriety of applying to parliament fur power to lease the line. Anthony Bannister, Esq., chair man of the compiny, presided. It appeared, from the report, that the directors bad had an offer from Mr. Cab, , C.E., to lease the line at 5 per cent. for the Lint seven ears; that at the expiration of that period he might, if he chose, give up the line with proper notice; but if he retained it, the company might require 6 per cent. for the next seven jeers, and 7 per cent. for another seven years, at the expiration of which 21 years the lease would termi nate. A re solution wu proposed, giving the directors power to go to parliament for powers to negotiate a lease, and though several gentlemen opposed it on the ground that the line would produce far more than the terms off. red, it was c.rried. The meeting then broke up. SUICIDE AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.-011 Saturday night a shocking attempt at wife murder, followed by the suicide of the huab.nd, took place in Soho. The men's name was Heise, a German, a tinplate worker, who lived with his wife and two children in the attic of No. 15, King-street. It appears Oita his circumstances were good, but that he had strong feelings of jealousy etainet his wife. The poor woman was confined only en Wednesday last, and Heise had become imp., s-ed with a conviction that the child was not his. He frequently taunted her with his suspicions, but she had no reason to suspect that he meditated violence towards her. On Saturday night, however, as she lay in bed wish her infant at the breast, he suddenly rushed into the room with a dagger kr ife, of the Italian form, and stabbed her in several places on the left side and arm. She imtgerliately jumped out of bed and run out of the room, loudly calling nut " Murder." She dropped on the Cliff from Inas of blood. Slie was removed to a room below stairs, and was subsequently taken to the workhouse, with the infant, whirls was drenched with blood. Helsel was after wards found lying partially upon the bed, Iris throat cut from ear to ear. He had nearly severed the head from the body, with the exeepi ion of the vertebra.; both the carotid arteries, the windpipe, and all the soft part being cut through. So extensive a self-inflicted wound is of rare eceurreoce. TAY SALMON SPAWN.—On Tuesday no fewer than 70,000 of the ov t of the sa mon of the Tay was sent to Ire land, for the purpose of ascertaining, if on coming to matu rity there, whether the fish would keep up the high character, as respects quality, they havc ever maintained in all markets. A like quantity of ova is to be sent here from the sister isle for the same purpcse.—Nurthern Warder. impossible to ascertain whether the current transac tions in this stock are bona fide or merely specu lative ; but the experience of the last few days Asada to indicate that real stock is being actually implied at present prices. i;onsols opened 91 to 1, and, after being pur *Wed at the latter fraction, declined for a moment to 93; to 1. At the official close the price had rallied to 91 to 1 ex div. for the 18th Jan., but after that hour some heavy quantities of stock were offered at 94.

The Committee of the Stock Exchange issued a formal notification to-day to the effect that on Monday (the 26th) the house will be closed. Throughout the City, as already stated, business will be very . gene rally suspended. No business will be done in any of the markets, or at the Custom-house or Docks. The banks, of course, cannot be entirely closed, but the transfer and dividend offices at the Bank of England will be shut, and generally bankers will merely have their establishments open pro forma. Very general complaints are heard at the repeated irregularities in the delivery of letters from Paris. In several instances lately these letters have not been delivered in the City till two days after their date. The imports of the precious metals this week have again been heavy, owing to the continued influx from the United States and Australia. Our list in cludes 700,000 dols. by the Canada, and one million of dollars by the Baltic, both from New York; 16.711 ounces of gold by the Tartar, front Sydney; 59,868 ounces of gold by the Chowringhee, from Melbourne; 3,0001., chiefly in dollars, by the Great Western, from the Brazil.; and 2,6801 by . the Iberia, from Gibraltar and Portugal. These arrivals represent an aggregate value of fully 650,0001. ster ling, of which 340,0001. was from the United States, and 306,0001. in gold from Australia. The receipts from the United States have been larger than for a loeg time past. It is understood, however, that a considerable proportion of the specie brought in from this quarter, as has for some time past been the case, is on continental account, and merely passes in Iran situ through this country. On the other hand, the exports have been mode rate, and chiefly consist of silver. The Custom-house statement of the shipments of the precious metals direct from London during the week ending Thurs day last includes only I,6soounces of gold and 69,300 ounces of silver, representing an aggregate value of only about 24,0001. The account in detail is as fol lows:—Gold coin to Belgium, 1,500 oz. Gold bars: to Boulogne, 150 oz.; silver coin : to Boulogne, 500 oz. Silver bars: to Boulogne, 1,000 oz. ;to Rotterdam, 68,000 oz. The other shipments reported to us include 241,4351. (of which 33,1201. was in gald, and 208,3151. in silver) by the Colombo for Alexandria and the East; 8,0001. in specie (of which 3,0001. was in silver and the rest gold) by the Faith for Africa; 2,7611. in foreign gold coin by the Orinoco for the West Indies; and 1,6601. by the Sultan for Portugal and Gibraltar. The total ascer tained shipments from the kingdom for the week are thus raised to about 280,0001. sterling, of which only about a sixth appears to be in gold. This statement shows the movement of the precious metals for the week to be again greatly on the favourable s;de. I A calculating the effect of this movement on the Baillea stock of bullion, it must not be over , looked that the 183,000 ounces of gold brought in by the steamer Victoria only became deliverable this week. A considerable portion of this gold has been sent into the Bank of England, but we have been enabled to trace that at least 200,0001. of it has been taken for exportation to the Continent. This tends to prove that the shipments of gold tie the outports are still c. sis lerable. Some well informed parties assert that 'July about half the late imports of the precious metal remains at present in this country. On balance, however, the results are decidedly fa vourable, and the next Bank return will probably show a further considerable increase in the stock of rad. Intelligence was received in the City this after noon of the arrival at Southampton of the Euxine, with the heavy portion of the East India and China mails. Wednesday next, the 28th will be making-up" day in the share-market.

With reference to the movement in freights this week Mesers.Offor and Gammon furnish us with the annexed information, made up to this day. The rise in coal freights-thus enhancing the coat to the con sumer at this severe season-at the very time when a large fleet of foreign vessels is lying idle in our ports, because prevented by . existing laws from en gaging in the coasting trade, is a feature of consider able importance :- There has been very little variation in freights during the week, with% small amount of busieesa, usual at this period of the year. The prospects for the sew year are extremely favourable for our shipping interest, indications of an immense demand fur tonnage being apparent. During the week (17th to the 23rd inclusive) the arrivals of shipping into this port have comprised a total of 166 treeselie l registering 36,752 tons-a large proportion of these are foreign ships from the northern ports. The clearances for the Australian ports have consisted of 13 vessel!, of the register capacity of 7,542 tons, of which 5 vessel', registering 2,771 tons, were for Pert Phillip ; 4, registering 2,563 tons, for Syd ney ; 2, registering 1,411, for Adelaide ; 1, of 349 tons, for Launceston; and 1 of 418 tons for New Zealand. The number of vessels entered for loading during the same period (17th to 23rd December) were 7, registering 3.257 tone, of which 5, registering 2,287 tons, are destined for l'ort Phillip; 1 for Sydney, of 510 tons, and 1 for New Zea land, of 460 tons. In addition to the above, several vessels have completed their loading and await clearance, and others have been laid on the berth, but are not yet entered out at the Custom House. The fallowing quotations, extracted from the current number of the " Weekly Shipping List," give the rates of freight outwards from this port, corrected by the brokers to the 22nd inst. There is little variation, the rates being for the most part with out alteration, but in all cases very firm :- Tee rate is in all cases lot fine messurement goods, with the accustomed peimage in each trade.

Ship ping is much wanted in the East Ihdles. Owing to the continued difficulty in getting vessels away from the Aus tralian pour, the proportion of arrivals into the colony is enormously in excess of the departures, and the amount of tonnage " locked up" daily on the increase. We learn by private letters that as much as 401. per head is paid in cub to seamen for the run from Port Phillip to an East Indian port; and even this rate of wages tempts few to leave so excellent a market for their labour. While this state of things continues, shipowners should have high freights to remunerate them for such dangerous service. We annex the quotations of freights from the coal portf, which have ruled it ady for some weeks without much al teration, the exceptional cases having been in favour of the shipowner. Coal freights to London have mein advanced, contrary to the general expectation. At the commencement of tie month 10e. was the price paid, but we hear to-day of 14s. being obtained at Hartlepool. An immense fleet of unemployed foreigners are idle in our ports (until the opening of the Baltic trade), and there would be available for coasting purpose', did our navigation laws permit. This matter will doubtless occupy the attention of the legislature upon the re-assembling of parliament. 'I he advantage to the shipping interest would he enormous, and we question if any serious opposition would be Aired to the change. The coasting trade of America, it may be incidentally re marked, would he an excellent exchange for throwing open that of this country.

A DANGEROUS CHARACTER. The Court of Assizes of Nforbihan, in its last sitting, tried a man named Nanhant for robberies and pro tons:ions in churches and other effected'. Ile, it upp, ared, some time ago entered the churches of Gourin and Phouay, and committed extensive depredations. He was arrested and lodged in the gaol of Lorient. He contrived, however, to escape, and entered the churches of Inzinue aid Loudeac, where he broke open the sacred vessels, tore down the cru cifixes, defaced the relics, cast the holy vas..s into the mud, and carrying off the priests' vestment/ scattered the no about toe road. A lew nights after he entered the church of Moncontour, but was arrested in the act of committing depredations. The accused, who swaggered into the duck, with the broad brims of his hat turned in such a way as to caricature the three-cornered live of the priests, said in answer to the president's ques tions, that he was a native of Paris, but bad gone into Brittany to avenge himself. "And what was the vengeance you load to exercise? said the Presoak:lit "A priest," anowered the accused " once made me lost 6,000 fr. by corrupting justice. I came into this province where the people are must disposed to idolatry, to show them that what they worship is only plaster and b.ts of silver !" "Talk not in that strain!" cried tho president, "or I will have you sent to prison, and the trial shad proceed in your absence. How did you get into the church of Gourin i" ".I broke open the great door. I then took the cross and broke it. The poor people believe that it was the cross of Christ . , but I proved the contrary, for I was not stricken dead !" ]Murmurs of indignation here arose, and the president cried, " Wretch ! Be silent ! Until God shall deuronal of you au account of your conduct, which he will do at his own time, act becomingly in presence of the justice of man ! What did you in the church of Plousy ?" I took four of eke ves- Ws on the altar, and broke a good many things. I toe k all the money I could find, together with a l air of slippers and a pair of shoes. I also wrote these lines which were picked up in the r.ad. " Toe clduch is to be sold, the cute is to be hanged, Napoleon is to be turned into grease to make oil for lamps to light Beetles ! Yes, long lice Buttes 1 Hurrah tot the Republic:" and those :—' the Repuldie slumbers hut it does not sleep ! I hate priests, and all who wear the bleak cap—bishops, priests all give me loom/ ! Yee, I would take if I had no cord, the entrails of a infest to strangle kings! The church is to be sold, the cute to be hanged, and Napoleon to be turned into get we, to make oil for lamps to light Harlots ! Yes, long live Barbel Slanged, and Rupail ! My intention was," ccutinued the accused, " to have stark the papers on the doors of the churches, but I was afraid, and 1.0 I threw them into the road !" The accused, in answer to other interrogatorie admitted that his real name was not Nanhant, but refused to say what it was. He also admitted that on being arrested he had said to toe gendarme, " Bread is too offer ; the g-overnment is not stable ; when we. shall have BlaLqlll load Barbee, things will go better!" The cues of sacri leges at Insittue, Louden, and Moncontour were not gone into, the evid.nceb dog reserved fur another occasion. Tho jury declared the accused guilty, and the court condemned 'him to twenty years' hard Labour, the maximum of the punishment allowed by law. There is some reoaon to believe that the accused was one of the insurgents of June. LEEDS, BRADFORD, AND HALIFAX JUNCTION linthwelt.—LEZoB, SATURDAY.— A special general meet ing of the shareholders or this company was held yesterday afternoon, at the Courthouse, Bradford, to consider end determine on the expediency, or otherwise, of authorising the execution of the powers of the act to b.irrow money.
