CITY, Two o'CLocic. The accounts from most of the manufacturing districts mention that during the past week there ,has been very little alteration of importance in the principal branches of trade. At Leeds the manufac• turers were well employed, and the fabrics chiefly in demand were light goods suitable for the spring, demand. Piece goods at Bradford have been inac tive, but a fair amount of business has been done in yarns on home account, and at Manchester prices have been firm for India goods, although other de scriptions have been neglected. At Leicester and Nottingham a moderate business has been recorded in the cotton and worsted hosiery branches, but the lace trade continued dull. More activity has pre vailed at Birmingham, and the accounts from the iron districts of South Staffordshire are favourable. At Sheffield, Wolverhampton, and Walsall there has been a slight improvement in most departments of business. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday a moderate amount of business was transacted, and prices exhibited no change of importance. The sales were 6,000 bales. The Railway Share Mar ket closed with a rather quiet appearance, and quo tations tended downwards. Small quantities of gold continue to be with drawn from the Bank of England, £B,OOO having been sent away on Saturday. The Oneida has arrived this morning with £28,500 from the Brazils. The commercial engagements due on Saturday, the 4th being Sunday, were met in a satisfactory manner, and although the necessary preparations stimulated the demand for accommodation, tke discount market already presents a quieter appear ance. Full rates are still charged for negotiating mercantile bills, but the best descriptions are taken on terms a fraction below the Bank minimum, and the trading classes find no difficulty in obtaining all the assistance they require, because there is still an abundant supply of capital awaiting invest ment. Rather higher terms have to be paid for advances in the Stock Exchange, several extensive loans having been called in during the past week. The English Stock Market remains in a heavy condition, owing to speculative operations for a de cline. As the effect of these sales is not counter acted by purchases for investment, the Funds tend downwards, and a heavy tone also pervades the other departments of busiaess. Consols are 94 - 1 -; for money and the Bth inst., and 942- 4 for April. The market, although flatter, remains in a very quiet state. The New Threes are 9444 ; the Reduced, Kt- 4 ; Long Annuities, 171 ; India Loan, 1031 104 ; ditto 5 per cent.

The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 3 ; prem. ; the Universal ditto, t a prem.; the Lon don and Provincial, 11 prem. ; Buenos Ayres ; prem. ; and Canadian Loan is 2 y prem. Business in the Rail way Share Market has been active, but on several of the principal lines less firmness has been apparent. Great Western, South Western, Midland, North-Eastern (Berwick), and South-Easterns have declined ss. Eastern Counties, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 10s. Caledonians, ,Great Northerns, Brightons, and North-Westerns have improved ss. In the Foreign Market no business of import ance has been entered into, and prices are nomi nally the same as previously quoted. The Colonial Lines are at about former values. East Indian have improved about 55., and Grand Trunk of Canada ss. Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are a shade firmer.

A supplement of the Novedades states that the Spaniards had not only bombarded but had occu pied Lambe, but the semi-official Covreepondencia merely records the bombardment. The fortifica tions of the place, says the latter publication, were armed with 30 cannon, and those of Arcilla with 10. When the attacks commenced the in habitants took to flight. In order to put a step to the depredations of the followers of the army, a proclamation had been published at Tetuan, threatening with death any one who should steal even to the amount of a real. Baron Clary, a relative of the Emperor of the French, had left Madrid for Tetuan, to witness the operations of the army. Several English, ltussian Prussian, and French officers are stated to be al ready at head-quarters. The Moors, it is said, have entrenched themselves in a position at Fonbach, on the road to Tangier, and hope to be able to offer serious resistance to the Spaniards. A proposition had been made that each province of Spain and the dependent islands should raise by voluntary contri butions a sum sufficient to construct a vessel of war, great or small. If the suggestion should be acted on, 29 ♦essels would be added to the navy. THE COUNTESS GRANVILLE.—We regret to say that for the last two days the Countess Granville has been in most imminent danger at her temporary residence at Brighton. On Friday morning a decided change for the worse took place, and it is feared that no hopes can be now entertained of even distant recovery. The last accounts on Saturday were unfavourable, and yesterday evening, at a late hour, the accounts from Brighton were that her lady ship was in a very weak condition, and that her dissolution was hourly expected. Earl Granville is in constant attend ance at the bedside of his devoted wife, and it is owing to the sad affliction of her illness that he has been absent from his place in the House of Lords at the close of the past week. ADELPIII THEATRE ROTA L.—Her Majesty, the Prince Consort, the Prince of 'Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Alice, and suite honoured this theatre on Satur day evening, to witness the successful new comedy of "Paper Wings." There is a report that at a large manufactory a considerable number of a formidable species of weapon, on the exclusive possession of which we placed great reliance, have been made for foreign Governments. We shall allude to the subject with more precision hereafter.—Aemy and Navy Gazette. The Officers of the Artillery Staff of the Chinese Expedition took their passage on board of one P en i nsu l ar and Oriental steamers, whic was to have.sailed on Feb ruary 20, from Suez.—Ariny and Navy Gazette. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE _OF M. JULLIEN.—With regret we announce the attempt at suicide in Paris last week of the above celebrated chef d'orchestre by stabbing himself. He was making arrangements for some grand performances of sacred music, &c., which were to have commenced on the Bth inst. by a performance of Handel's " Messiah." Several English artistes were engaged for the occasion. The con certs have s i nce b een po s tponed, M. J u lli en h av i ng been placed 1 121.kr yeotratut.--Va. ENG.

For most kinds Illts demand ruled active, yot prices ruled somewhat steady. There was a fair inquiry for barley, at late currencies. Oats and all other articles moved off freely, at very full prices. Throughout the continent wheat has changed hands to a moderate extent, on former terms. Spring corn has realised extreme rates. In the United States, produce has con tinued firm, although very little has been passing for export to England. 961 981 Zd Id 5 sid 6i 7 83 88 78 82 75 80 par i p The arrivals of grain up to our market, last week were only moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 400 qrs. of wheat, 10,630 barley, 5,669 oats, 670 beans, 1,519 tares, 604 linseed, 10,041 rapeseed, 1,000 maize, 160 sundry seeds, 50 sacks and 7,108 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day, both from Essex and Kent, the arrivals of wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were only mode rate ; but the general condition of the samples was tolerably good. Fine dry qualities were disposed of without difficulty, at last Monday's quotations; but low and damp parcels moved off heavily, at about previous currencies. Millers showed no disposition to get into stock. We were again well supplied with foreign wheat, almost wholly ex. granary. The amount of business doing in all kinds was limited ; nevertheless no change took place in prices. 11 1 1 IC td Id 101 101 f par ASP par iP 100 1004 iOli 102 20 21 341 35i 94 95 73 74 85 87 75 77 74 76 981 991 id d 1} id 14 14 8} 71 4 95 ICO 95 ICO 95 ICO 90 93 87 00 971 08 91 93 - A fair average business was passing in floating cargoes, at full quotations. The show of barley was very limited, and most kinds were in fair request, at full quotations. Malt, however, told slowly, at about last week's prices. The few oats on offer were steady in price, but the de mand for them was by no means active. Beans came rather more freely to hand, and the demand for them was rather heavy, at barely stationary prices. In peas very little was doing, at late rates. The flour trade was in a sluggish state, at last week's currency. Id Id CURRENCY PER lILpIRYIL MEASLIER.

From our own grazing districts the arrival of beasts fresh up this morning was again very moderate. There was, however, a slight improvement in the condition of most breeds, compared with Monday last. On the whole the beef trade ruled firm, and, in some instances, the best Scots and crosses produced an advance of 2d per 81bs. The value of other breeds was well supported. From Norfolk, Suftblk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,400 Scots, short horns, and crosses ; from other parts of England 300 of various breeds ; from Scotland 130 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 170 oxen and heifers. We were again scantily supplied with sheep. On the whole the mutton trade ruled firm. In prices, however, no change took place. The shorn sheep—about 2,200 in num ber—sold at 8d per 81bs beneath those in the wool. The show of lambs was very limited ; nevertheless, the demand was heavy, at from 6s to 6s 8d per 81bs. The few calves in the market sold without difficulty, at full quotations. The demand for pigs was inactive, on former terms. Per Blbs to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.

Thomas Spencer, of 17, Little Tichfield-street, Foley place, coffee-house keeper (the name being erroneously given in some of the papers as Parry), was brought up at Marlborough -street police-court, before Mr. Beadon, by Sergeant Rogers, 6 C, charged with cutting and wounding Thomas Paddock, better known as " Tom" Paddock, a pugiliat, at the Cambrian public-house, Castle-street, Lei cester square (Nat Langham's), with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoner. Thomas Paddock, whose head was enveloped in surgictil bandages, said—l live at 91, John street, Tottenlyaxi court-road, and have been a prizefighter, but have now left it off. On Saturday, about 12 o'olock, having taken a good deal to drink, I was at Nat Langham's, the Cambrian Stores, Castle-street, where also was the prisoner. I asked the prisoner for a knife and some money (about 4s. 6d.) he had taken from my pocket. A few words then ensued, and some scuttling and fighting, when I felt I was cut on the chin. I was only conscious of one cut on the chin, but on getting to the hospital found several others about the head. My coat was cut through about the arms, but all the wounds I have are those on my head. I have been at the hospital since, and am to go back. We had both been drinking together during the morning, but were not drunk. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—Have known prisoner fur some time and been on friendly terms with him, drink ing together. First saw the prisoner at Broome's, the Coach and Horses, and afterwards at Nat Longhorn's. Had had something to drink together. It was at Lang ham's where he asked for his money and knife. Did not remember saying that if he did not "give him the money he would knock his guts out." Might have said he would punch his head. It was on the ground that I felt I was cut, and felt the knife. I called out, " This man is sticking me." It is very likely the prisoner was underneath at the time. Have not seen the knife from the time the prisoner took it till this morning, when shown it by the constable. John Ford (known (as " Jack Callaghan") said—l was at Nat Longhorn's on Saturday, between twelve and one, and saw Paddock and the prisoner there. Prisoner was rather tipsy, and Paddock very much so. Paddock came in first by a few minutes. I was drinking a glass of ale. Prisoner, when he came in, stood with his back to the bar, between it and Paddock. Paddock asked the prisoner to give him his money, saying, " I want 4s. 6d. of you, which you have taken out of my pocket." Prisoner said he had no 4s. 6d. of his, and asked him to take off his boots and see. Paddock said, "If you don't give it me I'll pay you for it," and tapping the prisoner gently on the breast with his fingers, repeated the words. Prisoner, who then had his hand behind him, made a movement with it and struck Paddock in the face, but I did not see what he had in his hand as it was covered. Pri soner repeated the blows several times, and then Paddock called out to Bob Travers, who was pi esent at the time, " Bob, look out, he's got something in his hand." I then pounced upon the prisoner, who passed the knife from one hand to the other. [The knife was here produced, the blade about three incites in length.] I tried to get hold of the knife but could not, but the waiter came to my assist ance and took the knife out of his hand. The pi isoner tried to Psc ape but I secured him, altheugh I got some kicks on my legs. Should say the prisoner struck Paddoek 10 or 12 times. Cross-examined—The prisoner repeatedly struck Pad dock with his fist, and afterwards saw him change the knife from one hand to the other. Had worked for Mr. Jay, of the City-road, the builder. Pycroft, the waiter at Langhanes, said he seized the pri soner's hand, and got the knife away. It was the knife produced. Cross-examined—l did not notice whether the prisoner was bleeding from the face. Paddock had hold of prisoner at the time. They both fell together, prisoner underneath. Before they fell Paddock said "Look at his hand." I did not soc any blows struck before they fell. Immediately they fell Paddock said he was stabbed. I do not know whether prisoner was drunk or not. Sergeant Rogers, C division, here asked for a remand, which was at once granted, till Monday next, for the at tendance of the surgeon from the Charing-cross Hospital. The court, during the hearing of the ease, was densely crowded, and the greatest interest seemed to be felt, not a little being occasioned by the near approach of the, great contest for the championship. The depositions being read over, the prisoner was locked up, bail being refused. POLICE INTELLIGENCE -(THIS DRY.) TUE RELIGIOUS DISSENSIONS IN ST. GEORGE'S •I\- THE-EAST.—This morning a large nnmber of the parish ioners of St. George's-in-the-East, headed by Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, of Arbour-street East, Stepney, attended the court for the purpose ofapplying for summonses against the Rev. Bryan King, rector of St. George ; the Rev. Thos. Dove, assistant curate; Barton Hatfield, son of a wine merchant, and one of Bryan King's choristers ; Albert Edward Coleman, 57, St. George-street ; and Edward Adams, 55, Montague -square, for assaults. Much excite ment prevailed, and there appeared to be a strong feeling of indignation against the rector aid his friends. Mr. Smith detailed the circumstances which led to the assaults upon his clients yesterday afternoon in the parish, when the Rev. Bryan King and his friends ejected the parishioners from the choristers seats and other parts of the church between the afternoon and evening service, and acted with great violence. Mr. Thomas Herbert, scalemaker, who is a vestryman and constable of St. George's-in -the• East, said he was sent for to suppress the dishirbance in the church, and was in formed the rector and his friends were ill-using the parishioners, and that murder would be done unless ho interfered. In attempting to gain admission he was assaulted by Burton Stutfield. and Edward Adams. He was afterwards assaulted by Thomas Dove, the as • sistant, who jammed his leg between !the vestry door and door-post, and, in spite of his cries and entreaties, kept it there some time. He was very lame, and was unable to walk to the court. Richard James Selby, Mr. Thomas Newson, a clerk, No. 89, Cannon-street, St. George's, and other parishioners deposed to violent assaults committed upon them by Mr. King, Mr. Adams, and Mr. Coleman. Mr. Smith said that many police constables who were in the church saw the violence of Bryan King, Thos. Dove, and their associates, and would have taken the rev. gentle man and their friends iato custody if the persons assaulted had given them in charge. He complained of Bryan King bringing fighting men like Adams from the West-end to assault the parishioners, and force his obnoxious practices on the rate-payers of St. George's. Mr. Yardley thought it best not to use any harsh lan guage or to say any thing that might tend to exasperation on one side or the other. Professional men, above all others, ought not to have their feelings marked. If the rector in the exercise of what he considered to be his right, and believing that the church was his freehold, ejected certain parttes from the church who he thought had no right to be there, using no more force than was absolutely necessary, it was a case in which neither he nor his col league would have any jurisdiction. Mr. Smith said that if the rector had the right to eject the parishioners from the church, and he denied that he had that right, there was a great excuse on the part of the reotor and his friends. Mr. Yardley—ln that case the magistrates would have jurisdiction. U ltimately summonses were granted against Messrs. King, Dove, Adams, Statfield, and Coleman, for assaulting Mr. Hubert, Mr. Newsom, and Mr. Selby ; other summonses were applied for by other parishioners, but Mr. Yardley thought he had already granted enough to try the question, and recommended the complainants to attend as witnesses when the summonses were heard. He was afraid the Monday's amusements in the Thames Police Court were too cheap for the dissentients in St. George's. He wished Mr. Smith would take both parties in the unfortunate parish of St. George's to the superior courts. A good dose of litigation, expensive litiga tion, would do much good. if the discontents on both sides could be taken into the Court of Queen's Bench, the Con sistory Court, and the Court of Chancery all at once, it would do them a great service. It would be like a copious bleeding, lancing, bleeding by leeches, and cupping all at once. (Laughter.) The night charges were then proceeded with. At the time our reporter" despatched his messenger another batch of discontented parishioners were entering the court for the purpose of complaining of rector, curate, and choristers, who, according to the statements made by the police, were m•st violent in their behaviour yesterday afternoon. 100 1 Stk 20i 20. 10 100 I 100 100 stook all all 1 100 'lOO 100 1.3 0.

The demand by private contract is steady, and English wool is the turn dearer. Last week's imports were 1,330 bales from Port- Philip, and 411 from the Cape. SEEDS. ---- The seed market continues firm, at fully last week's quo tations, and rapeseed has realised further enhanced rates. Fine cloverseed is quite as dear, but inferior parcels are drooping in value. Tares are in moderate request, at fell prices, but in other seeds very little is doing.

Racing men have now abundance of active em ployment. Last week the " resuscitated" Lincoln Meeting found them busily employed with book and pencil, and this week they will have little breathing time. While these remarks slip from my pen, turfites are already on route to Liverpool, where they will resume their diversions to-morrow, and immediately on the conclusion of the Ain tree sport they will be posting in hot haste to Shrewsbury in the hopes of partaking of the quan tity ofgood things provided for them by Mr. Frail. Expectations are entertained that at both meetings the supply of sp or t w ill b e ample, and the racing exciting —and these expectations are not likely to be disappointed. A more attractive programme has been seldom issued by Mr. Topham for his spring venture at Liverpool, and as horses have of late been I able to resume active work, the fields will doubtless be satisfactorily large, According to his Lincoln running Tormentor ought, not only to win the Spring Cup, but win it in a canter. His most dan• gerous opponents will be perhaps Jenny Longlegs and Uncle Ned ;—the mare has shown form this season, and the colt possesses a good reputation, his prestige being increased by the force in which his stable showed at Nottingham. Still lam disin clined to doubt TORMENTOR. He is also engaged in the Aintree Plate, for which I should scarcely think he would put in an appearance. In dealing with the probabilities for this race, how ever, I must make a reservation in his favour. Mr. Hughes's lot for the 40 Sovs. Plate includes New Brighton, Chantress, and Juliet, and whichever starts will win. My preference is for the old horse. The many disgraceful proceedings which have of late marked Steeplechases have scarcely dimi nished the popularity of the Gram' National. By mere holiday folk the encounter will perhaps be regarded wih more excitement than usual, for the field is likely to be numerous. The following are mentioned as being the most likely to brave the accidents by flood and field : st. lb. Brunette l2 0 .. Kendall. Horniblow lO 10 .. .-- Goldsmith Redwing Bridegroom Tease Sir Robert . Xanthus Ben Lomond . 10 2 . . 10 2 . . Mr. A. Goodman. .. 10 0 . • ---- Anatis 9 10 .. Mr. Thomas. Jealousy 9 9 .. Mr. Edwards. Telegram Maria Agnes 9 8 .. G. Stevens. Roscommon Westminster 9 4 .. W. White. Venison Linkhoy. ••• • • • 9 0 8 12 .. Mr. Bevill. Speculation on the race has recently revived, and has been pursued with much activity. Still I am inclined to believe that it will undergo many changes before the flag drops. Brunette has proved herself to be a great mare across country, and although I expect to see her run well, yet it must be confessed that" she is askedto do too much" to win a Grand National with a weight which would even satisfy the exaggerated notions of Lord Redesdale. Horn iblovr is too slow to have a chance. Goldsmith will certainly take a prominent part ; he has speed and is a good fencer and may renew the luck of Ben Land. The next that attract attention are Tease and Xanthus—of the twain I prefer the latter. Jealousy is under suspicion, and, indeed, the trio just mentioned belong to a large party whose intentions and tactics are somewhat puz zling. Indeed, to use the language applied by the Poet Laureate to a certain illustrious personage, "only the Devil knows what they mean." Telegram has been of late very un steady ; but, if well, he will be bad to beat. Green is always fashionable. Could I calculate upon a start I should be induced to place some trust in Roscom mon. Westminster must not be slighted. In selecting Xanthus tnd Anatis, however, I do not think I shall be very wide of the mark-. For the Sefton Handicap a large field will be brought out, and as so many horses entered for it are also engaged for the Spring Cup, I shall decline the task of indicating the winner. My present fancy certainly leads towards Tormentor. A FRESH MAN. COVENTRY STEEFLECIIASES.—We are requested to state that The Tumbler was struck out of the Coventry Steeplechase and the Hurdle Race imme diately the weights appeared. THE INCO3IE TAX. TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN. SIR,—You have again earned the gratitude of the people, and afresh earned the title of the " People's Paper," by your recent anmadversions on the most iniquitous property and income tax. In this re spect you honourably stand almost alone. Your con temporaries, of almost every grade, are not manly enough to condemn what they feel is a gross injus tice to the middle classes of society. It presses very heavily on all whose incomes vary from Xl5O to £5OO per annum. I remember when that lying prophet, the late Sir Robert Peel, induced Parlia ment to adopt this tax, he said, " I take your money from one pocket to put it into the other pocket." Never was a man more mistaken in his conclusions than Sir Robert Peel ; for what was the fact. Every necessary of life advanced, as well as shoes and wearing apparel. Mr. Gladstone makes a great flourish of trumpets on the success of the scheme, and therefore he endeavours to complete waat Sir Robert Peel began. But, I ask, what are the proofs of success ? You say, more we have exported ; but who is the better for this ? Not the poor labourer, with his Bs. or 12s.;weekly ; not the shopman, the clerk, the small tradesma n , or t h ose with small in comes. All these classes at e worse off than when Sir Robert Peel tampered with the revenue. Those only who have profited are the cotton manufac turers, the merchant, the shipowners, the landed nobility and squirearchy, from the greatly increased value of land. lam sure I can speak from expe rience that my £350 per annum does not go so far as it did before the advent of Sir Robert Peel and his imitators to power. What is the use of in creased free trade if the great body of the people are worse off than before ? and why should they be made to suffer in order to put money into the pockets of the cotton lords, merchants, the shipping and landed interests ? For my part, I consider all Gladstone's hopes delusive; they are not such as to warrant this breach of public faith. Why not put a tax on the export of coals ? If all who have votes would withhold them from such members of Par- liament as vote for that iniquitous tax we might hope to see it abolished. I, for one, will not vote for a member who advocates this tax. Cheap wire may be bought too dear. Why should our many small domestic artisans be thrown out of work by the introduction of French and German toys, &c. ? The thousands in our poorhouses and prisons are some of the fruits of Sir Robert Peel's schemes ; thus our local taxes are increased in the same ratio with our public burdens and increased dearness of everything which enters into domestic use. Our Government is too expensive ; if it was less expen sive, and men of business entrusted with the Gc vernment, instead of aristocratic red-tapists, we might save money from their wasteful extrava gance to meet every emergency, - without injuring the body of the people.--I am, Sir, yours, A CONSTANT READER.

Hides, tallow, and wool were ruling, very hi g h. E xc h ange l ower. Dis count g-, to I per cent. Trade was generally dull at Buenos Ayres in imports. Exports were lively, and sales readily effected at high prices. Saladuros produceengage ments heavy, without improvement in rates. Very little wool was beinc , shipped. T o A ntwerp ship ments were falling o e ff, the bulk of the wool being engaged. Dry hides were scarce. F re i g h ts con tinue low, and shipping abundant. Exchange declining. At Rio de Janeiro a rumour of a change in the Ministry existed. ELECTION CO MMITTEES. DOVER. This committee reassembled this morning, Mr. Gaskell in the chair. - Witnesses were examined, who proved that they attended several meetings at a public hc•use kept by a prrson named Brom!ey, at Folkestone. They drank, smoked, and talked about the election, and while; tlicte a man came in and made a mark of 28s on the table in se,me slopped beer, which ova understood to be the price for voting. It was decided by the votes in the room that it was not enough, and the sum was afterwards increased to 30s. This was accepted, and afterwards a number of th© voters on the day of election left Folkestone by 'bus and voted, receiving 30s. for so doing. ROSCOMMON. The committee this rooming announced that they had come to the conclusion that the last election for the county of Roscommon, as far as Captain Goff was con cerned,:was a voidelection, and that Capt. Goff was, by his agents, guilty of bribery and treating, but that it has not been proved to the satisfaction of the committee that Capt. Goff was cognisant of their proceedings. ST. GEORGE.F-IN-TILE-E.IST. Mr. Superintendent Howie and a body of 250 policemen of the K division presided over the ser vices at St. George's Church yesterday, and to a considerable extent succeeded in Preserving order. Notwithstanding their exertions, however, there were some serious disturbances in the afternoon, the result of which, unfortunately, will be to bring the Rev. Bryan King, the rector, into the police court during the week as defendant on several sum monses for assault, vehicle will this morning be taken out against him. The morning service yes terday was quiet ; and Mr. King, who preached, was uninterrupted. In the afternoon the Rev. T. Richardson, the newly-elected lecturer, preached a sermon, which was extremely moderate i❑ tone and conciliatory in manner. As soon as it was over a body of young men took possession of the choris ters' seats, with a view of holding them against the clergy and choir at the evening service. They re mained n patient possession 01 them until just upon 6 o'clock, when the rector, accompanied by several members of his choir, entered the church and or dered them to leave, stating that he was legally the freeholder of the church, and that no one had a right to be there without his permission. The per sons thus addressed refused to move, upon which Mr. King took one of them by the collar and dragged him off the seat ; another person then seized him and dragged him to the vestry-room, where he was locked up as a prisoner. A similar operation was performed upon a second man, then upon a boy, while a young man named Littlejohn, the son of a vestryman, was so severely handled by the rector that his clothes were torn; While this fracas was going on several policemen were in the church, but in answer to appeals made to them they stated that they had no authority to interfere, but at the same time inthuated that if either of the persons thus assaulted would give Mr. King into custody, they would consider themselves bound to take the charge. Five or six of Ouse persons declined to do this, preferring an application to the magistrate for summonses against the rev. rector. The evening service was peaceable, the tremendous body of police' who were present completely overawing the noisy portion of the congreg•i'ion. The sermon; which was by no means judicious or attractive, was preached by the Rev. C. J. Le Geyt, M.A., incum bent of St. Matthew's, Stoke Newington. After the rector and his friends had retired the people struck up the doxology, and the organist with capital tact helped them out, and thus prevented any disturbance. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
