I On Friday last an extraordinary and painful scene took place at Woodston, near Peterborough. The eldest sou of Mr. Thomas Powell, a highly respectable farmer of the village, haviug died, his parents wished to have him buried in the pretty little church and of the perish. As • matter li of courtesy, the Rev. A. Murray, independent minister, to I whose congregation Mr. Powell belonged, waited upon the Rev. J. Ellaby, the incumbent, and informed him that Mr. Powell was a strict nopeoofoemat, and objected to the use of some portions of the burial service. Subsequently Mr. Ellaby went with Mr. Powell himself to the church. yard and chows a site for the grave, and no obstacle of any loud was anticipated. On Friday afternoon, when the funeral procession approached the churchyard, the grave was found prepared. Halting at the entrance the corpse was placed on a chair, whilst the Rev. A. Murray reed a simple service, such as dissenters use os each sees- Moos. Ifs was so engaged when a meweager arrived with the intimation that the Rev. J. EUaby was wait ing in the church. A courteous reply was returned that the eerviore of the clergyman would not be required, and a move was made towards the grave. Mr. F:Alaby issued from the church, and declared in as excited manner that the corpse should not be buried there. Mr. Murray stepped on one side, and said, "You ere aware, sir, we have the privilege of silent intermeet." "I do sot care for your pnvilegea," the incumbent replied, " I will throw you into the Exlesiaitical Court." He thee left the church yard, bidding the sexton stand by the grave. Meanwhile the 'acted mourners were looking on in • state of grief and perplexity, which may well be Imagined. At last the father stepped forward, and mid, if no one would fill in the grave of his child, he would do so him. self. He took • spade for that purpose, but the sexton wrenched it by force out of his hands. A crowd had gathered round, and booting' and cries of " shame" were raised, but Mr. Ellaby did not return, and without his authority the sexton would allow Dooms to touch the grave. Eventually the relative. reluctantly withdrew, leaving the body on- I buried. Oe the following day (Sitarday), the greys was' filled in by the incumbents orders, bat whether the church burial service was read over it or sot our reporter has been unable to aacertain.—Manchester Examiner. EXTRAORDINARY MURDER.--OD Saturday a coro ner's inquest took place at Guy's Hospital, on the body of a man named Jobe Gillespie, who died on Wednesday last from injuries received wider the following circumstances The deceased was employed on the works of theSoutla Eastern Railway. Among his fellow workmen was one named Richard navels's, who, with his wife, lodged in the house of a man named Newman, at 5, Britannia•place, Hatcham, New t:roes, On Saturday week a man oinked Bailey was sitting in this hones drinking with the landlord, when Havelan and his wife came io. Bailey and Havelan quarrelled about the drink, and the latter was struck severely in the face. At this time the deceased came in, but made no remark, nor did he take any pert io the quarrel. In gallon time the men made it up, and all drank together ; and, being somewhat in liquor. Bailey (who had quarrelled with }levelers) and the deceased fell asleep, their heads being close together. Hairelan was seen to rise and peas toward the fireplace, and then he stood behind the sleeping men. Suddenly he raised the poker which he held in his band, and struck the deceased violently on the head, and after. wards Bailey. The latter could rise, sod fought his snail. ant; but Gillespie got gradually none till he came to the hospital, where he died. Harshen has decamped. The jury foiled s verdict of " Wilful murder" agaisat Hanka. MARKED ROBBEIL4. - Three youug men were apprehended yeetertlay at Wedaley, a village bear Sheffield, oo a charge of committing a very daring robbery in that neighbourhood. The prisoners are named respectively Hutchinson, Chapman, and Bramball, and the Mecum stances out of which the charge arises are briefly these : On Saturday sight while a woman, named Bibb, who lives at Wadeley, was in the house during the absence of her husband, • men with his face concealed by a mask sud- denly entered at the open door. He seized her by the throat, threw her into a chair, and stood menacingly over her, and two other men, also masked, entered the house and west up into the bedrooms. Mrs. Bibbs, who was dreadfully alarmed no account of her children, who were is bed, attempted to get up, but the ruffian drew a clasp.knife and threatened to murder her if she made the slightest noise. The affrighted woman asked what the men wanted, and the fellow replied, "We want your money," and he then inquired for her husband's wages. She told the men, who were now together, that her heoband had not drawn ART wages, and earnestly entreated to be allowed to go up stairs to her children, but the moo refused, and the one who had the knife said he would cut her threat if she made any more noise. Her appeals were continued for some time, sod one of the fellows remarked that if the eldest child awoke it " would not scream twice, as he would cut its head off." This soeee continued for sone minutes, and at last the men made off with all the money (a few pounds) there bad been in the house, and a large quantity of wearing apparel, to obtain which they had ransacked all the drawers sod boxes. The men compelled Mrs. Bibbe, upon pain of violence, teeny that she would riot leave the house for half an hour after they bad goes. The robbery greeted a great sensation in the village and the adjacent town of Sheffield. They will be brought up foe remand to-day. MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAYJ Two o'OLooz. The stock markets opened this morning with a ra ther fiat appearance, owing to the failure of Messrs. Halliday, Fox, and Co., but have since become stronger. The f undo and nearly all tlie other principal stocks are now quoted quite as good as on Saturday afternoon. Home railways retain an upward ten dency. One of the chief features is a great rise in Metropolitan Railway stock. The fortnightly set tlement will be completed to-morrow. There is a good demand for money to-day, at 71 to 74 per cent, for good Willa. In the Stock I Exchange the rate for short loans on English government securities has risen to 5 per cent, the inquiry having slightly increased. At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele gram, the Three per Cent. Renter were quoted 65fr. 25c., being sc. better than on Saturday. Consols are now quoted 91 to 911, with div., for money, and 891, ex div., for the account (Dec. 8). The official business report is as follows : Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 901, 914 ; ditto, for account, 891, 4, 90) ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 881, 89, 4 ; ,New Three per Cents., 881, 891 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 1061, 107 ; and Exchequer Bills, June, 4a.dis., par. Foreign stocks present scarcely any varia tion. Spanish Certificates are 4 lower, and Turkish Cousolidds 4 higher. Some of the present quotations are as follows, viz. : Greek, 234 to 4 ; Mexican, 281 to 29 ; Confederate, 6.5 to 66 ; Spanish Passive, 304 to 31 ; the Certificates, 131 to 1 ; Turkish Bonds of 1858, 71 to 4 ; ditto 1862, 72 to 4 ; and the Cocsohdds, 504 to 1.

International Financial shares are now quoted 21 to 34 prem. ; London Financial, 9 to 4 prem. ; General Credit, 21 to 31 prem. ; imperial and Mercantile Credit, 3 to 4 prom. ; Hudson's Bay, 171 to 1 ; Ottoman Societ4 rale, 14 to 2 prem. ; and Anglo-Egyptian Bank, par to 4 prem. Foos o'CLoci. Consols are quoted 91 to with div., for money, and 89i to 1, ex div., for the account (Dec. 8). 24,0001. in gold has been taken to the Bank, and 80,000 sovereigns withdrawn for Alexandria. According to a private telegram, the Bombay exchange is quoted 2s. lid., being id., or 1 per cent. above that previously received. This is a movement against England. Reference was made in this column two or three days ago to the imminence of • heavy mercantile failure. For weeks past rumour has been busy with conjectures as to whether the difficulty would be surmounted. Until Saturday the assistance ex tended by influential connexions proved effectual, but on Saturday afternoon the fact of the suspension was formally notified. The firm in question is that of Messrs. Halliday, Fox, and Co., East India mer chants, of 4, Cullum-street. For three months they have been struggling to maintain their posi tion, and the present step is taken after consulta tion with some of their principal creditors. Ac cording to one report, the arrangements proposed would even now have been carried through but for the refusal of a London joint stock bank to co-operate. The liabilities are much larger than have been shown by any failed firm during the present crisis, reaching no less than 1,900,0001. It is believed, however, that the affair will prove by no means so disastrous as it appears to be at first sight, inasmuch as of the above sum creditors to the amount of 1,400,0001. are secured, valuing the produce held at pre sent)! prima ; while as regards the 500,0001. left uncovered, it is estimated that the other assets of the firm will prove sufficient to meet the whole of the claims. It is said that a week ago the estate was reckoned to show a surplus of 80,0001., and since then theoourse of the produce market, in which the firm is largely interested, has been favourable. It does not necessarily follow that because the house has stopped payment the produce held by it must be thrown on the market. Should the realisation be effected gradually and judiciously, it seems more than probable that the whole of the creditors may ultimately obtain 20s. in the pound, more especially having regard to the increased confidence which the decline in the value of money is in Mincing-lane. The cause of the em barrassment, as usual, is over-trading, but it is stated that any censure to which the partners have subjected them selves must end here, the business having been otherwise conducted in a legitimate manner, and I accommodation bills not having been resorted to. The house has been established about five years. Its capital when it started is believed to have been about 100,0001., which was chiefly brought in by Mr. Halliday, who amassed it in India. the corre sponding house at Calcutta is that of Halliday, Bullock and Co., in which, however, Mr. Halliday, of Loudon, is not a partner. According to one statement, Messrs. Halliday, Fox and Co. have had some indirect transactions in connexion with running the blockade of the Con federate ports : it would be well if this report could be contradicted. A meeting of the creditors will be convened on an early day, to take into con sideration a full statement of the affairs of the firm, which will be prepared by Messrs. Coleman, Tur quand, Youngs, and Co. This failure has been so long hanging over the discount market, that its actual occurrence will be regarded iu many quarters with a feeling of relief, although an impression had begun to be entertained that a formal suspension might be staved off altogether. It will be matter for regret if the stoppage of Messrs. Halliday, Fox and Co. should occasion that of other firms connected with them, but iu any case it will be a gain and advantage for the discount market to be relieved of • mass of weak paper, involving the necessity of renewal from time to time, and doubtless upon terms onerous in pro portion to the discredit in which it has stood. To the enormous and over-extended engagements of such firms as Messrs. Halliday, Fox, and Co. is due, in a larger degree than the public suspect, the dearness and difficulty of the money market, from which commerce has so long suffered. Messrs. Evans and Lewis, fancy dress manufac turers, of St. Paul's-churchyard, have also failed, but their liabilities are moderate, and the assets, it is stated, considerable. We are informed that the directors of the Con tract Corporation have resolved to take such steps as may be necessary to divide each share of 1001. into five shares of 201. each, and, as • preliminary measure, they have made a call of 2/. per share on the existing shares, so that there may be • sum of 11. to the credit of each of the reduced shares when the arrangement has been carried out. Mr. F. G. Westmorland has joined the board. The Calcutta and South Eastern Railway Com pany (Limited) have issued au advertisement call ing the attention of shipowners and merchants to the facilities afforded at Port Canning, ou the river Mutlab, for discharging and loading cargoes with out the intervention of boats, by means of piers connected with the railway. The port charges and pilotage in the Mutlah are stated to be one-hall three in the Hooghly. raoaasia. Trionty. On Noirreran WITNIVDAY. E. tog. and S.W.,galna Conana ti.

In preparation for Tuesday's settlemeet, the rates of " continuation" on shares and foreign stocks were in most cases on Saturday very moderate. The following shows the terms generally current at the close of business : Gnat Western stock 5-16 to 7-16 coot: Lancashire and Yorkshire 7-16 to 9-16 „ Londoe and North Western 7-16 to 9-16 „ Midland to sl P 9 tv Great Northern, a to Metropolitan South Eastern North Eastern: Berwick -16 to 9-16 ~ Great Eastern Great Western of Canada 6d. to la. „ Luxembourg 6 to 12 p.c.

Joseph Travers and Sons con tains the following remarks, which are interesting because they state very intelligibly the nature of the recent dealings of the Bank of England with a portion of its government securities : The funds have experienced a further improvement of 1 per cent., and are now nearly 3 per cent. above the lowest point touched during the recent pieseure. Some time after the raising of the Bank rate of discount to 9 per cent., in September last, the demand upon the resources of the Back seemed to threaten the necessity of a further upward move ment to 10 per cent., but to his the directors re solved to employ a portion of their available II,IS/o,ooof. of government vacuities by borrowing money in the Stock Exchange, where these was a better • tipple than in the open market. Accordingly they gradually wad about 1,500,1e.W. of Consols for immediate delivery, that is to say, for cash, and bought back an equal amount to be paid for on the next settling day, namely, the 10th of Nuveniber. The difference between the price at which they could sell for money and buy back for time constituted the rate of inte rest they had to pay for the supply of money thus tem porarily obtained, and as they could lend that supply to the commercial world by discounting good bills at if per cent, the transaction was profitable to themselves, and equally advan tageous to the legitimate mercantile interests of the country. In fact, it tended, to equalise a pressure v. hich had previously borne more hardly upon the commercial markets than upon the Stock Exchange. Coosols thereupon bore some share of the decline which had previously been disproportionately inflicted upon produce, and a still greater depreciation was caused in the shares of the various new banks and Mancha companies, by whose unguarded operations the principal part of the existing mischief had been brought about. In every way, therefore, the action of the Bank in this respect has been highly salutary, and the period of worst difilculty having now been safely passed, the Bank on the day before yesterday, when the Conaol settlemett took place, re sumed possession of the greater portion of the •tuck, and returned the temporary advances over which they had thus usefully obtained control. Console in our last were quoted 89i, and they closed yesterday evening at DI i. SATURDAY ETZEIG. Consols, which closed yesterdiiLi94t;Tex div. for the Bth Deoember, opened and clu-ed to-day at the same quotation. For money the last price was 91 to 1, with div. The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 901, 911 • ditto, for account, 891, 1 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 881, 89 ; New Three per Cents., 891, 881; Red Sea Telegraph, 20 1-10, ; Bank Stock, 238; India Stock, 218 • ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 1061 ; ditto Four per 'Cent., 97 ; Five-and-a-Half per cent. " effaced " rupee paper, 1091. The India Five per Cent. Stock was a little more offered. The March Exchequer Bills remain at 3s. clis. to 2a. prem., and the June at fis. dis. to par. The foreign stock market was again firmer. Con federate Bonds rose 1 per cent., ' • Egyptian, ; and. Greek, Mexican, and Spanish Passive, 1. Turkish Consolideis exceptionally declined I per cent. MINE2.-(THIS DAY.) Two o'Cloow. In the mining market to-day the dealers are almoet exclusively engaged in the settlement of the fortnightly account, and prices iu most instances are unchanged.
