This day, at noon, Mr. John Humphreys, the coroner for Middlesex, resumed at the London Hoapital the inquiry respecting the death of Daniel Hill, aged 27 years, who expired front the effects of extreme brutality. It appeared from the evidence taken on the previous occasion that the deceased was a boiler maker, residing at No. 13, Leal:Death-place, Blackwell. The mother of the deceased resided in Staffordshire, where she died about a mouth ago. Deceased and his brother, Henry Hill, left Londe* for the purpose of attending her funeral. Three days after the funeral they and another brother named Thomas were at an inn called " Pearson's beer-house," at Lys Waste Bank, Worcestershire. The three of them were attacked by seven men, who were in the house at the time, in consequence of Thomas Hill refusing to allow them {the seven men) to drink his hear. Thomas Hai said to them, "If you are gentlemen pay for your drink." All seven instantly set upon deceased and his two brothers. Thomas Hill was thrown violently over • high embank ment. The skull of the deceased was fractured by a blow from • brick on the back of the heed. Bricks were thrown about in all directions. A man named Vriah Baker struck the deceased several times. The deceased was lying on the ground. and a woman who was standing near asked Baker not to ill-treat him so much. Baker replied " You —, get out of the way, or I'll serve you in the same way that I served another like you before." (Baker had very nearly murdered a woman • short time before.) The scene au • dreadful one, and in consequence of loud cries of " Murder," the people rushed out of their houses. When the police arrived the deceased was conveyed for safety to a neighbouring house, and a doctor was immediately sent for. There wan • severe wound on the back of his bead which was covered with blood. Shortly afterwards the deceased returned to Loudcn. He wu ad.nitted into the London Hospital, suffering from compound fracture of the skull. He died on Friday last, from an abceas on the brain caused by the severe injuries he had received. _ _ On last Sunday morning Baker was arrested by the police on the charge of causing the death of the deceased, and he is at present in custody at Stafford Gaol. Mrs. A. Partridge said that, when the deceased was lying on the ground, Baker struck him on the beck of the head with • brick which he held in his (Baker's) hand. The Coroner having summed up, The jury returned • verdict of " Manslau6ter against triab Baker, for felooiously killing and slaying Daniel Bill."

Accl DENT TO THE PRINCE DE CONDE.—The Duke d'Aumale and Prince de Conde. with several distinguished visitors, were passing through Evesham on Saturday last for a day's sport in the hunting Mild, when, near the bridge, the Prince de Condi?s horse (a fine-spirited animal) took fright and became unm►nageable, falling upon the Dave meet with his royal highness underneath.

Moir" of the cruel treatment which the Rev. Mr. Stern, and his colleague, Mr. Rosenthal. agents of the Loodoo Society for the Promotion of Christianity among the Jews, had suffered from King Theodore. It appears that as Mr. Stern, Mr. Rosenthal, and Mr. Haussinan were returning from their mission to the Jewish ' , slashes, they called to take leave of the king in the evening just after his supper, a time of the day which, being a breech of the customs of the court, gave great offence. Mr. Stern's address to the king was badly interpreted by his two native followers, and the king be came so angry that he ordered the interpreters to be so severely dogged that they died in the night. Mr. Stern, under alarm and excitement, happened to bite his fingers. This unhappily is considered in the country as an offensive threat of revenge; and the officers attending on the king having called his attention to it, he ordered poor Mr. Stern also to be cruelly dogged, and then sent him to a tent in chains. Mr. Rosenthal is also in confinement. Oar consul, Captain Came. roe, hearing of this, sent for the Rev. Mr. Flad, a German missionary, well acquainted with the vernacular Amharic. acid with whom the king was on friendly terms, and they called together on his Majesty ; but he refused to see our consul and placed him under surveillance. Ile sent Mr. Flail to request Mr. Stern to apologise for having insulted him in the presence of his subjects. Not being satisfied with the answer, he kept him still in confinement, though without chains, and intended bringing him to trial. He allowed Mr. Haussman to leave the country. and it is from this gentleman, after his arrival at Khartoum, the melancholy intelligence has been received. EFFEcT OF THE D.SNO-GERMAN WAR ON THE LEITH SIIIPPINO.—The Leith shipping trade is suffering greatly from the Dano•Germin war. Owners of German vessels refuse to carry cargoes between British ports &Ed the German States, and a good many German ships have I consequently been laid up in the Leith Docks for weeks past, and the crews are leaving—some of the sailors to return by British steamers to their own homes, while others find employment on board of Scotch awl English ships. At the Daei-li and German ports cot block aded there is a great demand of British vessels, particularly ! for steamers; sod the Leith steamships trading to and from the Baltic are fully employed. Never were so many steamers employed in that trade. As soon as a vessel comes into port she is discharged, and generally pert day she sails again. Thus. by unusual exertion. a heavy iris& is done, and the holders of goods in ports expected to be blockaded 'soon are forcing off cargoes by every available means. — Edi al,urghCourant. THE CAPTURE OF DANISH SHIPPING EY PRUssIA. —A supplement to the Lo.idon Gorr. of last evening con tains a despatch received by Earl Rumen from Sir Andrew Buchanan, K.C.8., her Majesty's Ambassador at Berlie, forwarding a copy arid translation of the regulations issued by the Prussian government for the capture of eoetniee' and suspected ships, in consequence of the hostilities he• tween Denmark and the German powers, both of which are published.

Business being checked by the approach of the Easter holidays, the stock markets to-day are quiet, and in some instances a dull tone is observable, but prices generally are moderately well supported at the closing quotations of yesterday.

At the Bank of England discount office the de mand yesterday was larger than on Monday, but there was no sign whatever of pressure. The general market was rather quiet, but, owing to the usual absorption of currency at this season at the Bank, the terms were maintained at to 6 per cent. for good bills. In the Stock Exchange the supply of money was abundant, and short loans on English government securities were obtainable at 3 to 4 per cent. The question of the likelihood of a further speedy reduction in the Bank of England rate of discount is exciting discussion. The directors have to con sider, on the one hand, the generally satisfactory position of their till, and, on the other hand, the less favourable tendency of the continental and Indian exchanges, and the consequent decided re vival of the export demand both for gold and silver. As bearing upon the prospects of the money market, it is also of interest to notice that on the Isz of April the Brazilian government have to pay off loans to the amount of more than two millions sterling. This repayment, from its magnitude, will doubtless have some effect upon the general supply of money, even allowing for the fact that the funds to be thus disbursed are doubtless already lent out at short notice. As regards the immediate policy of the Bank of England, however, the directors will certainly be mainly guided to-morrow by the weekly balance-sheet, which will then be in their exclusive possession. The Bank of Frankfort has just reduced its rate of discount from 4 to 3} per cent. In consequence chiefly of the volunteer review, it is officially notified that the Stock Exchange will be closed on the 28th inst. (Easter Monday). Only 5,000/. in gold was sent into the Bank yesterday. Owing to the flatness of the foreign ex changes, there was a decided revival yesterday in the foreign demand, and the residue of the recent supplies of Californian and Australian was taken for the Continent. Any fresh amounts that may come at once to hand are likewise expected to be purchased for export. The tendency of the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon was flat, especially as regards bills on France. The rates were as follows : Amsterdam, 3 months, 11.191 to : ditto. 3 days, ILI6 to 17; Rotterdam, 3 months, 11.191 to 12; Ant werp, 3 months, 25.60 to 65; Hamburg, ma. balm, 3 months, 13.71 to 8 : Paris, 3 days, 25.20 to 271 ; ditto, 3 mouths, 2 5.0) to 65 ; Frankfort - on-the -'Maine, months, 1191 to 1 ; St. Petersburg (per rouble), 3 months, 33 to ; Vienna, eff. 80., 3 months, 12.71 to 121 ; Trieste, off. 80., 3 months, 12.71 to 121 ; Madrid, 3 months, 48 to A : Cads. 3 months, 471 to 4o ; Leghorn, 3 months, 25.75 to 80; Genoa, 3 months, 25.75 no SO ; Milan, 3 months, 25.7 to 80 ; Naples., 3 months, Z. 75 to SO ; Palermo, 3 months, 25.75 to 80 ; Meseta% 3 months, 25.75 to 80 ; Lisbon. 50 days, 521 to 1. Oporto, 90 days, 521 to 1. The amount of bills on India for which tenders will be received at the Bank of England ou the Gth April is rupees 40,00,000, or about 400,0001. Subjoined is a copy of the resolution adopted by the Stuck Exchange Committee, with reference to the case of the Australian and Eastern Navigation Company, and which was formally posited up to day. It states with precision and clearness the grounds upon which the committee have adopted the unusual course of refusing a settlement in the shares, and it seems to us that the public at large, upon the grounds stated, will fully endorse the committee's decision : The committee for general purposes having received an application for a settling day in the shares of the Australian and Eastern Navigatioo Company, signed by the brokers of the company on the part of the directors, and also, and in opposition thereto, a memorial signed by certain persons, showing cause why a settling day should not be granted, have arrived ■t the following facts, the result of a long and searching investigation, embracing fall evidence tendered on either side, and conducted throughout in the presence of the directors of the company :—That the mode of allot ment of the shares was highly objectionable. That certain shares have been reserved for Australia without having I been specially so described in the prospectus, which led the I public to believe that there were 40,000 available shares, ■nd is therefore not in accordance with the facts, no mention being made therein of any reserved shares. That it bad been proved and admitted that a combination, consisting of bee of the directors and three other persons, was entered into and carried out to buy up shares with one common purse previously to allot meat, sod that 19.630 sharer were purchased accordingly, the process of allotment being entirely under the control of the directors and uoknown to the oldie. That in addition to these large purchases about R, I i l shares were boupbt by ' three of the partners of the said five directors, and large amounts of shares for the three other persons belonging to the combination, all these purchases being made previously to the allotment. That subsequently to these purchases the directors allotted to themselves (including the nerved share.) 13,124 shares on the final day of . allotment, the sth February. That up to the day of investigation the offer of the said reserved shares had not been sent out to the colonies. Finally, taking all these circumstances into their earnest consideration, the committee have thought it Itheir duty to pass the following resolution, which has been carried unanimously, none of the members remaining to vote who had any beneficial interest is a decision adverse to the sett'etutnt:—Reeolved That the committee refuse to ■p• point a *Athol{ day for transactions in the shares of the Australian and Eastern Navigation Company.—Signed for George Loveless, Secretary, ARTHUR LOVELLYB.—March T 2,1864. The Stock Exchange Committee hare appointed Tuesday next a special settling day in the shares of the Credit Foncier (Limited), which are to be officially marked. The prospectus is issued of a large undertaking formed under the auspices of the Mercantile Credit Association in conjunction with the Con tract Corporation, and bearing the title of "Smith, Knight, and Company, Limited." The capital is as much as 4,000,000/., in 80,000 shares of 50/. each, with a first issue of 2,000,000!., or 40,000 shares, of which 20,000 have already been subscribed. The basis of this undertaking is an arrangement for the transfer of the business, plant, and contracts of the well-known contractors, Messrs. Smith and Knight, whose tender it will be remem bered has recently been accepted for the con struction of the Royal Sardinian Railways. The general design of the company is to act as au auxiliary to the recently formed Contract Corporation, the province of the latter being the financial department of contract business, while the present company will undertake absolutely the con struction of railways and other public works, with the co-operation of parties conversant with the practical details of the business. The board is very respectably composed, iucluding the following names :—Mr. W. 31. Baillie, of the Old Bank, Bristol, a director of the Contract Corporation ; Mr. Arthur G. Chapman, of Lombard-street ; Mr. Charles Capper : Mr. Richard Cooke Coles, of St. Helen's-place, a director of the Royal Insurance Company ; Mr. Alderman Dakin, president of the Great Western Railway of Canada, and director of the Contract Corporation ; Mr. Geu. Knight, of Great George-street ; Mr. I. Leonine, of Cupthall court ; Mr. Octavins Gintoanney (of Hallett, Om manney, and Co.), a director of the Contract Cor poration ; Mr. Robert Porter, a director of the Bank of Loudon arid of the Bank of New Zealand ; Mr. John Smith, of Great George-street ; Mr. George Thomson (of Messrs. Anderson, Thomson, and Co.) ; and Mr. T. Tubiui (of B. Tubini and Co.). Mr. George Knight will be managing di rector. It is not intended to call up more than 10!. per share. The adjourned general court of proprietors of the Bank of England took place yesterday, when the payment of a dividend of 5 1 per cent. for the year was formally confirmed. At the meeting yesterday of the English and Scotti-h Marine Insurance Company, a dividend was declared at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum out of the interest accrued and received on invest ments, apart from any assumed ptofits on the un derwriting account. A third call of 101. is to be oaid on the 10,000 new shares of the Union Bank of Australia by the 15th April. A call of 2/. 10s. is to be paid on the new shares of the National Discount Company (Limited), by the 15th of April. The arrangements are notified in connexion with the payment of the half-yearly guaranteed interest on the stock of the Cape Town Railway and Dock Company. The list of applications for shares in the City Offices Company was closed yesterday. The number applied fur exceeds 138,500, whilst only 20,000 shares are to be issued.

Thomas Langton, jun., and John Langton, timber mer chants (trading under the style of Langton and Robinson), held yesterday, it was resolved to wind up the estate under a deed of assignment. A balance sheet presented by Messrs. Cooper Brothers and Co., the accountants, shows liabilities to the aniouut of 95,178/., and assets 42,102/. It is ex pected that the distribution to the creditors will reach in all about 9e. in the pound, being consider ably below that originally looked for. It is stated, however, that the stoppage has materially injured the position of the estate. It appears that the father of the two partners died a fortnight ago, and that his executors now claim the sum of 30,174/., which he originally left in the business, and which it was thought would remain there. Apart from this suni, the capital on the 31st of March, 1663, amounted to 5,4331., and the creditors entertain an impression that the partners have traded beyond their means, the transactions having been upon a large scale.
