The old man had been into Hartle to see his daughter, who is a servant at the Rabe Hotel. He had had a little drink, and, u there were some suspicions -looking character. about, she asked him to leave four sovereigns he had upon him with her, lest anyone might molest him on the road home, but be refused to do so. Two men in custody were in the taproom while this °amenities was going on, and one of them asked the daughter where the old man lived, but, as she did not like his appearance she declined to tell him. A lad, however, said, ' Hart Bushes, I believe." The old man left about 4 o'clock in the afteroooa to proceed homewards. and shortly afterwards the two men, who have been apprehended by the police, followed. Their names are Joseph Charltoo, be longing to 1302121119, and Joseph Skelton, belonging to Cum berland, navvies. The deceased had proceeded about three miles from Hartlepool, on the road from that town to Sun derland, when he was overtaken by three men, and felled to the ground by one of than. They then rifled hi pockets, and made off. The Rev. W. G. Harrison,he vicar of Hart, who was driving home about half-Part 5 o'clock, found the old man lying across the road in a pool of blood, and bad him removed to his borne. The marks on the turn pike road showed that great violence had been exhibited towards the old man, and that a struggle had taken place. Hodgson was able to give en account of the attack upon him, which was taken down in writing by the vicar. He stated that his daughter knew two of the men who had attacked and robbed him, and one of them had returned to the Itaby Hotel about 6 o'clock oa Saturday sight, and asked for his mate. The death of the old man was caused by injuries inflicted on his head. it is supposed, however, that the man who inflicted the fatal blow is sot in custody. The robbery and murder took piece at a very lonely part of the road, and between two high banks. THE CruTODY OF INraicrs. —At the Judge's Chambers yesterday a case of some importance was heard before Mr. Justice Mellor, on an appliostion for a writ of habeas corpus as to the custody of a female child, aged 3 years, at present in the care of the mother. Mr. Chitty, on the part of the father, claimed possession of the child, end contended that by his legal ri ghts he wee entitled to the custody of the child. Mr. Knight. on the part of the I mother, submitted that the policy of the law was to give the custody of a child to the mother until it was 7 years of age, and referred to the Act of Parliament lit sad 2nd Vittoria, known as Mr. Justice Talford's Act, in which the Court of Chancery bad power to interfere in cases where the children were under 7 years of age. Long affidavits on both sides were read, disclosing the unhappy state in which the parents had lived and the charges made against the mother. Mr. Justice Mellor was occupied some time in the painful investigation, and deferred his jodgment, as be considered the question which bad been raised of au impor tant character. The matter accordingly stood over. SALE OF THE SARSDEN HERD.—The sale of the first-claw ehorthoru herd of the late Mr. J. H. Langston, M.P. for Oxford, took place at Smarten, Oxfordshire, on Tuesday, Mr. Strafford being the auctioneer.

There were 35 bulls. • Lord of the Harem," a splendid animal. whom his admirers place not far behind Col. Towneley's Butter fly," was knocked down, to the surprise of the company, for oely 65 guineas. It should be stated, however, that he is rising aix years old, and that • preference was shown for younger animals, several of which realised • higher figure.

Although the weekly court at the Bank of Eng land has broken up without reducing the rate of discount, the stock markets to-day are very steady. The funds, home railways, and foreign stocks are generally quoted the same as yesterday afternoon, with only a limited amount of business. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Bente' were quoted 68fr. 07c., showing no change of importance. Consols are now quoted 91# to # for money, and 911 to for the account (April 8). The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 91#, f ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 894, I ; New Three per Cents., 894, # ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 1044, f ; ditto Four per Cent., 98; ; ditto Four Cent. De bentures, 1860, 991, f ; Five-and-a-Half per Cent. " enfaoed " rupee paper, 113; and Exchequer Bills, 78., 2e. die. Foreign stocks are steady. Spanish Passive Bonds are 1 better, at 351 to e, and Turkish Con. solid& at 54 to 4. Mexican Bonds, after slightly receding, have returned to yesterday's final quotation, viz., 441 to 451. Confederate Bonds are 1 per cent. worse at 50 to 52. Greek remain at 234 to 1. Transactions are recorded as follows :—Brazilian, 1863, 891, 4 ; Belgian, Four and-a-Half per Cents., 991 ; Dutch Certificates, 1021; Egyptian, 1001, ex div.; Greek, for account, 231, 1 ; Italian, for account, 671 ; Mexican, for account, 441, 1,1, 45 ; Portu gnaw, 1866, &a, for account, 481, 1 ; Russian, 1862, 901; Spanish Passive, for account, 351 ; ditto Certificate., for account, 131, 1 ; Turkish, 1858, 1001. Bonds, 744, ex div. ; ditto, 1862, for account, 711 ; ditto 1001. Bonds, 71/ ; ditto, 1863, 684 ; Venezuela, 1862, for account, 661, 1. International Financial shares are now quoted 61 to 7 prem., ex div. ; General Credit, 4 to prem. ; London Financial, 111 to 1, ex div. and ex new ; Mercantile Credit, 71 to 84 prem. ; Hudson's Bay, 181 to 191 ; Egyptian Trading, 31 to prem. ; Credit Mobilier, 44 to 1 prem. ; Imperial Financial, 41 to 51 prem. ; Credit Foncier (Great Britain and Ireland), 54 to prom. ; Central Argentine Railway, 4 to 1 prem. ; City Offices; Company, 31 to 1 prem. ; National Marine, 4 to 1 pram ; British Columbia and Van couver's Island, 4 to 1 prem. ; and Smith, Knight, and Co., 21 to 1 prem. The demand at the Bank of England discount office yesterday was heavier than for the last three weeks, but the increase seems to be chiefly due to the coming holidays, as many persons will stop away from business from this afternoon till Tues day morning. In the general market, however, notwithstanding the holidays and the approaching close of the quarter, there was no increase of move ment : the terms for good bills were 51 to 6 per cent., but some transactions occurred at 51. The amount of the subscriptions for the Bolivian loan 0f1,000,0001. not having realised the expectations of the fiscal agent of the government, it has been determined to withdraw the loan for the present. The deposits will, consequently, be returned forth with. It appears that the amount of Brazilian govern ment loans to be paid off by Messrs. Rothschild on the let of April, is 2,000,000/., less such sum as has been discounted since the announcement of the Four.and-a•Half per Cent. Loan raised to pay off the Old Bonds. The subjoined notice relating to India Four per Cent. Debentures has been issued from the India office : The Secretary of State for Ledla in Council hereby gives ratios, with referrers to the advertisement issued from this ram oe the 10th of July, 1863, that the lociia Four per Oust. Dakeetures, which are to be paid off on or after the Bth of April next, must be left at the Chief Cashier's office, Beak of Begland, for examination, three days previous to paymeat being made. Parties leaving their &beaten* on or before the sth of April ma receive payment of the same oir the Nib April. The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed Friday, the let of April, • special settling day in the shares of the Mexican Bank (Limited), which are to be officially marked. We are informed that Mr. H. L Bischoffsheim, and also Mr. David Stern (of Stern Brothers) have joined the board of the Imperial Bank. The subjoined memorandum is from the Austra lian and Eastern Navigation Company : At a meeting of the board of directors of the Australian sad Eastern Steam Navigation Company, held this day, it was quite understood that, nadir any circumstances with respect to the future of the oompany, any dissentient share holders shall have the opportunity of roosiviog back his deposit money of 21.1 pie share without any dedoctiors. The Atlantic and Great Western Railway Com pany have announced an issue of &aloud Mort gage Bonds to the extent of 800,000 dollars (or 180,0001.) of the New York division, and 1,000,000 dollars (or 225,0001.) of the Pennsylvania division. The former are due in 1881 and the latter in 1882. The Bonds are redeemable in New York or in London at 4s. 6d. per dollar. Four per cent. of the gross amount—being a very liberal sinking fund —will be drawn yearly in July, commencing in 1865, to be paid off at par in London. The interest will be payable half-yearly at the Consolidated Bank at the fixed rate of 43. to the dollar. The price of issue is 70, with interest from the lst prox., so that the return is nearly 9 per cent. The energetic progress of the works having rendered it desirable to offer these Se and Mortgage Bonds some months earlier than was contemplated when the last issue of bonds was made, it has been de cided " to give to existing holden the privilege of subscribing for them at the rate of one bond for every two now held, at a concession in price equal to a liberal bonus." It is further explained that in May the whole system of this railway will be in operation, consisting of the main line from Salamanca to Dayton, 385 miles ; the branch to Cleveland, 67 miles ; and the Franklin branch and the Oil Creek Railway, 54 miles—in all about 506 miles, of which 302 have been successfully worked during the winter. On the lit of May it is in tended to run express trains through from New York, rid the Erie ; Atlantic and Great Western ; Cin cinnati, Hamilton, and Dayton ; and Ohio and Mississippi Railways, to Sk Louis-1,200 miles, in 40 hours, without break of gauge or change of carriages. The prospectus states :—" The income of the portion of the line opened has reached 301. per mile per week—within one year of the opening of the through route the re ceipts will be 601. per mile per week—which will give a dividend on the shares exceeding 25 per cent, after providing for all expenditure, and the interest on the whole lame of bonds." This com pany occupies an exceptional position, inasmuch as it has from the outset adopted the sound plan of deferring the issue of securities to the public until after the actual progress of the railway has secured the necessary income for providing the in terest. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 9,3421. over last year ; the London and South Western an in crease of 1,2231. ; the Great Northern an increase of 3,4611. • the Great Western an increase of 2,4671.; and the &eat Eastern an increase of 3,7731. • The *wood annual general meeting of the share holders of the Rio de Janeiro City improvements Company (Limited) was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr. Raw Donnelly Mangles iu the chair.
