SUSPECTED MURDER AT WOOLWICH.—An adjourned
inquest was held yesterday before Mr. Carter, coroner
for West Kent, on the body of a man found on the banks
of the river at North Woolwich, under circumstances
which lead to the suspicion that a foul deed has been
committed. The jury returned a verdict of " Found
dead, with marks of violence ; but by whom such
violence was committed the evidence does not show."
NETHERLANDS LAND ENCLOSURE COMPANY—A meet-
ing of this company took place yesterday, Mr. Morrison
presiding, when the report detailing the progress of ope-
rations, an abstract of which was given on Saturday,
was adopted. The directors are still engaged in the re-
claiming of land, which is saleable at a considerable
profit, and the crop of colza seed will, if well secured,
afford a favourable return. In. order to keep faith with
the Dutch Government it will now be necessary to push
forward the works of the company, and the property is
likely to be further imprived by the introduction of rail-
way communication between Flushing and the Rhine.
The heavy liabilities occasioned by the excessive expen-
diture when the company was first organised are being
gradually reduced.
ALLIANCE (FRANCE AND ENGLAND) BANK.—At a
meeting of holders of share-certificates in this company
held yesterday at the London Tavern, in consequence of
the forfeiture threatened in the event of the none-pay-
ment of the call of 51. by that day, the following reso-
lution was agreed to :—" That the names of several in-
fluential gentlemen having been advertised as directors
of the company, upon the faith of whom the subscribers
applied for shares, and such gentlemen having disclaimed
all connection with the same, we are of opinion that
those shareholders who have not paid the call of 51. per
share should refuse to do so till the legal proceedings now
pending against the promoters of the company for reco-
vering back the deposits have been decided."
INTOLERANCE IN TURKEY.---An affair, which proves
that in Turkey the Turks are about the most intolerant,
has just occurred at Harpout, in Asia Minor. The child
of an Armenian family, some time since converted to
Protestantistn, lately died, and its parents had it buried
in the Armenian cemetery, the only one for Christians at
Harpout. As soon as the Armenian bishop was informed
of the fact, he proceeded to the cemetery at the head of
the inhabitants belonging to his communion, had the
body dug up and thrown into a neighbouring field,
there to be devoured by dogs. The governor, being ap-
prised of what was done, sent guards to protect the
body while he made the most energetic remonstrances
to the bishop. As the prelate wauld not yield, the body
was reinterred by the authorities. The Porte has ad-
dressed a note to the Armenian Patriarch on the sub-
ject, demanding the dismissal of the bishop, and has
sent orders to the governor of Llarpout to give the Pro-
testants a piece of ground for a cemetery for themselves.

ESCAPE FROM PRISON.—On Saturday night, a girl
about 12 years old, named Bridget Hopkins, was taken
to the county lock up, Huddersfield, charged with having
stolen two shawls. On Sunday afternoon Mrs. Heaton
(the superintendent's wife) went to the cell in which the
girl was confined, to obtain a book (preciously lent to
another prisoner, and left in the cell), for the purpose of
lending it to a boy in another cell to read. Having
opened the door of the passage into which the cell door
opens, Mrs. Heaton called to the girl to give her the
book through the aperture in the door. No answer
being returned, she requested the servant, then in the
kitchen, to bring her the key of the cell ; but as the ser-
vant was washing herself at the time Mrs. Heaton went
for it herself. Scarcely had she left the passage to go
to the kii chen, which is not more than half-a-dozen
yards distant, when the girl cane from behind the pas-
sa4e-door, and ran through the lobby and out of the
front door. The shadow her figure cast in leaving the
place was observed, but she succeeded in effecting her
escape. The hole in the iron door of the cell through
which she bad squeezed herself to get behind the passage-
door is about four feet from the ground, and 101 inches
long and 6i wide. She had placed the bed clothes on a
stool to raise herself nearer the height of the aperture.—
