Ctwitcm.—A general vestry was held in 81. Nicholas's
pariah church, Liverpool, on Tuesday, for the purpore ,
of electing new members of the Burial Board, in place of
those retiring by rotation. The Burial Board presented
the accounta of the new cemetery at Aneeld, from which
it aiii eared that, on capital account, the Antleld
Oemetery eon, up to the 26th March tut, E 142,03.3, of
which £70,401 was for porches* of land, 1356,885 for
construction of the cemetery and appurtenances. and
the rest of the varioos items, such as £1,809 for cones,.
seeing. 88,362 interest and expenses on loins One
canon+ fact is very strongly illustrated in the accounts,
viz,, that diseenters in the mass have what some people
would call • strung "prejudice" in favour of being
buried as well as married under the auspices of the
Church of England. Thus the fern received in
connection with the consecrated or Church of England
ground, were MA 16s. &1., against £196 7s. 6d.
from the general or unconsecrated ground, and
£179 Is. 94. from the Roman Catholic ground,
while the sale of graves from the 6th of May, 1863, to
the 26th March, 1864, in the consecrated ground,
yielded E 892 2s. 64., spinet £324 10, from the genersl
or uneonseerated ground, and £325 164. 6d. from the
Homo Catholic ground. Despite their occasional revil-
ince against "the Church of England sa by law estab-
lished," it is evident that Dissenters have • sneaking
regard for the oases of that church in the Lore impor-
tant admire of life and death, and we daresay that even
the majority of Mr. Apurgeon's disciples—if we may so
term the wow& who listen to his preachments—will
seek the aid of Church of England elerpmen on the
bappieat day of their lives, and after their dfttha will, in
the estimation of their .4r-wiring relatives, rest very
comfortably in Church of England graves.

the Eart of Derby's keepers and five pros-Isere, at

to look for • critical battle in one direction or another.
However this may be, it seems clear that whatever
chance the South hat of • speedy termination of her

swords may pmsibly win, sooner than we expect, the
acknowledgment of that independence they have so long
and to nobly defended. Be that as it may, that sea
acknowledgment will be extorted moose or later appaen
to us as minis a. that the English spirit end stubbiest
chivalry of the Beath will never consent to reunion with
tho,e whose outrages upon her sons and dmightera haws
made the name of Yankee hateful and loathsome to the
ears of Christians and gentlemen throughout the
world."
We learn from the papers that a gang of
several hundred malefactors who have ravaged
the Romagna, robbed a bank at Genoa in mid-
day, and made Bologna almost uninhabitable,
are on their trial. Thu Papal government bad
allowed these malefactors to pursue their depre-
dations a ith impunity, and there was reason to
suspect the complicity of the Papal police. It is
to the credit of the Italian government to have
at length brought these ruffians to justice, and
what may be truly called a monster trial is going
on at Cologne. One hundred prisoners are on
trial. We are told that, in order to secure this
formidable body of desperadoes, an iron cage has
been constructed in the court, through the hers
of which the counsel for the defence communi-
cate with the prisoners, like keepers of wild
beasts. When the first batch of scoundrels is
disposed of, some 800 More remain to be tried
on the same charges. These are the evidences
of the paternal disposition of the "Holy Father"
who has patronised these atrocious wretches.
The relations between Austria and Prussia are
anything but harmonious. Austria is evidently
beginning to find out, what all Europe saw long
since, that, in the recent war with Denmark, it
has been used ea a mere estapaw ; and now it
begins to haggle for its share of the spoil, and
for the formal acknowledgment of its doe
authority in German affairs. The most ha-
portent manifestations of ill-feeling yet put forth
Is to be traced to a dispatch addressed by Count
Rechberg to the Prussian government, in which
the Austrian minister, having announced certain
stipulations, says :-" If the Prussian govern-
meat refuses to accept our proffered negro.
tiationa, we shall be most unwillingly
forced to see in such conduct a breach of
their treaty obligations towards us, and we
could not but see that such a proceeding
would be utterly incompatible with the relations
of Federal amity which exist between the two ,
Governments." This seems very much like * I
threat.
The peace negotiations between Denmark and
Germany make but slow program. Indeed they
seem to have come almost to a dead lock. The
Prussian newspapers lay the whole fault to "the
obstinacy and vacillation of the Danes," against
whom threats are held out of the resumption of
hostilities on the 15th inst. It is said that the
Danish Plenipotentiaries have also on their part
threatened to break off negotiations if Prussia
persists in exacting further pecuniary sacrifices.
One of the Vienna papers believes the Danish
Government is supported in its policy by Russia,
Frame, and England. These Powers, it is said,
are now acting in concert in order to save at
least the northern part of Sleswig for Denmark.
Austria, it is believed, is about to recognise
the Kingdom of Italy and the King of Greece.
The former, it is thought, would prove a masterly
strike of policy by disarming the resentment
felt tower& Austria in Italy • but it is scaroely
likely that the question of the possession of
Venetia would be set at rest by a mere diplomatic
formality. As for Greece, considerations con-
nected with family relationships and the clam
ties existing between Austria and the ex-King
Otho, of Bavaria, have alone prevented the
Vienna statesmen from taking the proposed step
before.
By intelligence from New York, we learn
that Franz Muller, the suppoeed murderer of
Mr. Briggs, has been arrested, and will, no
doubt, shortly arrive in this country in custody
of the detectives. Since the murder of a little
child a few months old, in • country house at
Road, some four years sines, no murder has
caused such wide-spread horror u that which
was committed on the North London railway on
the 9th of July last. Between the murder of
Francis Sevin Kent and Thomas Briggs there is
at first sight no similarity. In the one case an
infant was found Nominated in a secluded
village, and though every person who went near
the house on the morning of the 29th of
June, 1800, was known, (though there could
be no strangers in the place so small,)
though one person after another who was
at all suspected of the crime was appre-
hended and examined, the murder could not be
discovered, and the crime still goes unpunished.
In the other case the crime was committed in a
great thoroughfare at night, and the murderer I
had ample time to make his escape; but though
he did make his escape, he has been
arrested. We do not speak with certainty,
because we have no right to assume the guilt of
any man before he has been convicted. So far
the cases are very different, but in another re-
spect they are similar. They are alike in their
atrocity, in the cold-bloodedness with which
they were perpetrated; and they are alike,
also, in the sense of insecurity they produced.
Henceforth no man can feel are that his child
will not share the fate of the victim at Road,
nor that hi himself will not share the fate of
the victim at Hackney. It is in this sense of
personal danger which has sharpened the interest
that the public has felt in these two crimes.
The murder of Mr. Briggs has had a source of
interest arising directly out of the Road murder.
The failure of the detectives in that case,
coupled with the several notable failures since,
has led to the belief that our much-vaunted
detective system had broken down. The police
were put upon their mettle, and felt that their
reputation would be irretrievably damaged if
they did not hunt down the banker's amessin.
, Presuming Muller to be that anus* they have
undoubtedly hunted him down, and the public
will probably have their confidence in "inspector
Duaett" restored. We, however, are scarcely
prepared to indorse the popular opinion. Mut-

was easy. It does not require any detective
skill to discover that a steamer, starting a
week after • sailing vessel,will get to the United
States some days before; DOT to take one's berth
on board that steams*, nor when it has arrived
at New York to wait the arrival of the ship, nor
to board that skip when she does arrive,
and to apprehend the supposed murderer. The
further progress of the prooeodinp were
rendered unexpectedly easy by the discovery of
Mr. Briggs's ha: and watch in the possession of
the man they had pursued. Never was oir-
mmestantial evidence so strong, never was there
a clearer case for the committal of a prisoner
for trial. The imagination of the pkia has been
excited by much flue writing about the swiftness
of justice and the inexorableness of vengeance ;
whereas if Muller had taken the Cunard packet
instead of the Victoria, justice would have found
herself distanced, and veLla6llooo would have
been baulked. Poetry says that "canner will
out." The records of the police court tell us
that the perpetrator of the Road murder, the
Waterloo Bridge murder, and the murderer of
the prostitute in EL Giles's are still at
large, and for aught we know may pees for
respectable fathers of and ornaments to
society. As to Muller himself, there
seems, from all accounts, to be very little
In him to constitute him a hero even amongst
the readers of the Police Gasetie. A short,
sandy-haired, blue-eyed young MA of twenty-
four years, with neither beard, whiskers, nor
moustache, is not quite the type of a MIA that
one would look upon as the modern representa-
tion of Byron's model man, boasting one virtue
and a thousand crimes. All that the American
papers can say &taut him is that he has a large
mouth, from whence they draw the large infer
epos that he possesses dogged obstinacy, and
vindictive restlessness. Throughout the voyage
he was by no means the taciturn, gloomy man
that a murderer should be. He joked and
laughed freely, tried to eat live pounds of
sausages for a wager, and went through a mock
trial for failing. He was much given to blasphemy,
chiefly of a playful kind, however, and got
some substantial rebukes for his bad homier.
He even bore without flimflam the remark
made by some one in jest, that as the ship had
had such • long passage, the murderer of Briggs
must have been on board. Only occasionally in
sleep he seemed to have betrayed any conscious-
ness of his crime. Altogether, if be be a murderer
he has shown himself as callous of conscience as
li. is unskilful of design—s man of dull heart
and dull brain, with neither the daring of Rush
nor the ingenuity of Palmer—a very common-
place scoundrel indeed, whose impending fate
will excite none of that somewhat false, but some-
what irrepressible, sympathy which is felt for
bolder or more ingenious criminals.

On Monday there was something like a panic in
the money market, the funds falling to 871, which
is only one per cent, above the worst point touched
, during the panic of 1857. Subsequently there was
• partial recovery, but the rise in the bank rate from
8 to 9 per cent on Thursday caused renewed
heaviness. Some persons accounted for the great
dept-onion in the money market by a story that
pesos was at once expected in America, and that
sellers of consols feared the consequent changes on
our commerce. But several days have pissed, and
no such notion is generally accepted. It is true
that the civil war in America appears to be
approaching the beginning of the end, but no
sensible man believes that Kr. Lincoln moor will
on • sudden, and by the next mail, conclude an
armistice with the South. Such • notion may be
propounded at the Stock Eacbsage to amount for
a fall, but it is not the real cause of that fall. There
are DO lON than great changes in progress which tend
to the depression of the public securities. Until
lately, the Bank of England and the English
Government were the only borrowers of indisputable
credit commonly known to the ordinary people of
this country. By marriage settlements and by wills,
trustees were confined exclusively to real securities
or to Government securities; an option was per-
mitted them between thus two, but no choice was
given Chain further. Even quiet people, who were
subject to DO legal restriction knew DO other pleas
for their money but a mortgage or the funds. Now,
all this is changed. Although the credit of the
English Government isj list as good as it ever WAS, the
people are beginning to find that railway debentures,
if not so secure as the funds, at any rate yield a
considerably higher interest. Government, there-
fore, instead of being nearly the only borrower of
indisputable credit, Is now only one among an
augmenting crowd of such borrowers, and is bogie.
ing to feel a competition it did not use to feel. Ex.
chequer bills have long felt the 'Elect of a similar
competition. Time was when they were the only
secure investment for money lying idle from any
temporary cause—money destined to complete a
purchase—money which trustees were waiting to
divide. Now the joint stock banks and bill
brokers, a new clam of industrial borrowers, have
stepped in and beaten the political borrower, the
Government. Again, English lenders do rot now,
as formerly, confine their investments to England.
Not only enterprising men but unenterprising men
sod women invest in Indian securities, in the
securities of Colonial Governments and foreign
industrial undertakings. Even at this unfavourable

that instead of spurning the clergy who visited

place on Friday, between ten members of the

the Dorchester, at Maiden Castle, the range of the
latter. The two tens were most evenly matched;
in former contests each party having in two years

very unfavourable at the early pert of the shooting.

fire, thus making shooting very difficult. Beyond

at each range. The Wareham men shot first,

range that the wind abated and then the Derebes.

in spite of this the advantage which the Dorchester
men gained at 500 yards was too much, and the
Wareham men were beaten by 14. Subjoined is the
