assistance of the sexton to relieve them, hut it w.ts upwards
of en boar and a half before the veztonees cants end
unlocked the door. -

Mr. Woolrych asked what he wanted from him ?
Applicant replied that he wanted a summons or warrant
against the sexton for unlawfully locking him in the church.
He was of opinion that the police ware in league with the
sexton, as a constable was outside the church all the time,
and knew he was looked up.
Acting•lnspector Gardiner, 25 M, who was in court, in-
formed his worship that the reverend gentleman was mis-
taken. There was no constable at the doors of the church.
Even had a constable been there he could not have inter-
fered.
Applicant said he did not want to make any complaint
against the police, as he believed that they were an excellent
body of men, but he considered thst he bad been cruelly
treated, and he was determined to have redress for being
locked up in the church for an hour and a half. He regretted
very much to say that since the departure of the Rev. Mr.
Oadman from the parish things had not proceeded so suc-
cessfully.
Mr. Woolrych told him he could not direct him. If he
considered that he had suffered false imprisonment he could
being his action against the parties.
Applicant thanked his worship for his attention, and left
the court to instruct his attorney to take the usual pro-
ceedinas.

BRUTAL MANSLAUGHTER AT AN INN.

ADJOURNED INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.)

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."

The Coroner then issued -ilia warrant for iheucommittel of
the awned.

THE OXTON ESTATE,,—The Vicc•Chancellor Lae
granted an injunction preventing the Earl of Shrewsbury
and Dynevor from proceeding in an action of ejectment
against the Oston tenants until the question of the validity
of the lease granted in 1838 is decided by law.—Lirerpoof
Mercury of this day.
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. Mr. New,
surgeon, was sent for, but fortunately no bones were
broken. The prince was taken to the bodge of Mr. Bick-
nell till a Hy could be obtained, when the whole of the dis-
tinguished party returned to Wood Norton, the seat of his
Royal Highness the Duke d'Aumale. We understand the
prince is going on as favourably as can be expected. —Bi r-
minghom Gazette.

PERSECUTION OF THE MlatiroNagma IN Anya.
sort.a.—Painful intelligence has been received from Abe'.
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.—

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.
LIPP-BOAT Seartens.—The lifeboats of the Na-
tional Lifeboat Institution stationed it Castletown (Isle of
Man) and at Loaniemouth were recently the means of saving,
during heavy gales of wind, the crew of four men from
the schooner Water Lily, of Pwllheli, and three men from
the small( Barbara. of Burgbead. Soon after the ship-
; wrecked men were taken off by the lifeboats both vessels
became total wrecks. The late Mr. Newman Smith his

FOUR O'CIAM:R.

Consols are without variation, at 9li to g for
money, and 91jj to I for the account. No gold
operations have taken place at the Bank.
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, 25.0) 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 51 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.
It is announced that the share list of the Na-
tional Provincial Marine Insurance Company
(Limited) will be closed on Monday next for Lon-
don, and on the following day for the country.
We are also requested to state that the share list
of Silver's Indiarubber Works Company will be
closed at 12 o'clock to-morrow.

Subjoined are the quotations of insurance, gas,

At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. 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.
