(nor OUR OWN REPORTI24 TWENTIETH DAY. ALDERSHOT, Dic. 17. As the proceeding in this case pogrom towards their termination the interest in them appease to culminate. To , day the curt was literally crowded, and the enormous ' number of applications for tickets of adm , ssion ren dered special arrangements necessary for increasing the accommodation. The body of the room below the president's table, formerly set apart for the general public, was to-day fitted up with numbered seats, • great portion of which were occupied by ladies, andithe re mainder by general and staff officers, with a few distinguished civilians. The upper end of the hall was likewise devoted to female visitors, who on this, as on previous occasions represented the general public in the largest proportion, and seemingly took the greatest interest in the inquiry. Amongst the audience were Lord Chelmsford, Colonel 31•Murdo, Colonel Luard, and Sir W. Reiter. The court having been reformed, Colonel Crawley de cided, before proceeding with his defence, to reed the ad dress read by him to the officers of the 6th Dragoons on the 2nd March, 1863, when he was about to proceed to Bombay on a short leave of absence. The address was read &maid ingly. In effect it =swelled that • stroeg and unanimous effort should be made by all to obliterate thej dif ference' and disunion that bad unfortunately pre veiled, and stated that the lieutenant-colonel would feel it his duty to set the example io following the recommenda tion of Sir W. Maalkid. Colonel Crawley then, by per mission of the court, and with the consent of the official prosecutor, put in extracts from the court-martial books of the regiment, verified by himself (the books themselves not being obtainable), showing that a smaller number of courts-martial had taken place proportionately since he held the command of the 6th Dragoons than at any time before. Having done this and in timated that he would call evidence to character hereafter, he proceeded to reed his address, which com menced by condemning, in strong terms, the mendacious course pursued by his enemies and by • portion of the press, whose object was, through him, to attack a system and to abolish military discipline. He excepted the respectable portion of the English press from this charge, adding that its conduct formed a marked contrast to that of his wooers. If the object of those who had been the cause of this prosecution were attained, it were far better that our Indian empire were abandoned altogether. He complainedof hisbeiogbrought from India for trial on the insinuaboo that • fair trial could not be obtained in that country. He congratulated himself that he was at length brought to answer to the charges against him before a court in whose judgment he had full confidence, and could safely say he believed that the day of his trial was the day of his deliverance. It had been and that at the Mhow court martial he had been guilty of the grossest persecution, and had =horned false testimony. If there had been any ground for such • charge why was it not proceeded with ? It bad been said that he had been guilty of unwar rantable comity in causing the arrest of the three sergeant majors ; but if he had, why did not that charge form part of the present indictment, that he might have had the oppor tunity of answering it? Those who knew the facts were aware that he had acted properly, and the opinions of those who did not he could afford to despise. He had no wish to shield himself under the protection of superior officers, though it was gratifying to him that the coarse be had adopted bad met with the approbation of his superiors. It was said he had acted under the influence of ill feeding towards Sergeant-Major Lilley, but surely no one would charge Major-General Farrell, Sir W. Manafield, and Sir H. Rose with having so acted, or with haying approved of hie conduct because they, too, held • grudge against the sergeant-major. He held that the severity he had exercised was necessary to the restoration of discipline in the regiment, which, if he had been allowed, be would have proved was in • state, of insubordination when the wort-martial on Paymaster Smales was instituted. He should like to have had the opportunity of proving what was the steno of the regiment when he took the command, by the production of the letter from the Horse Guards to Colonel Shots. This, however, had been denied bins, and it was sot open for him now to assert what be might, had his application been allowed, have proved. He called upon the court to topsider what was his position when he took the command of • regiment in • state of insubordination arising from • long standing demoralisation. This was evi dent. from the letter of the Cominander-in-Cbief. Of all cases of insubordination that which existed above the ranks was the most fatal and irremedieble. It was necessary that soldiers should be subject to • stricter discipline than civi lians, and his having acted in this spirit had pre vented, as he believed, a catastrophe. He had istanded, and had been always ready to proceed with the trial of the sergeant-majors. If they were not tried the fault wsa not his, but his superiors. He cootended that the question at issue between him and the officers and non. commissioned officers of the Inniskillinga was that of mutiny or no mutiny. Referring to the specific charges upon which he was arraigned, he complained of their vagueness ; adding that it was difficult for him to know what he bad to meet. Bat accepting the charge in all their vainness he appealed to the roast, now that the evidence for the prosecution was comindsd, was there any proof whatever --a dmitting that the arrest was justillable—that in the mode of car rying . it out there was anything bearing the character of . on• neensery and undue severity," or "great or tviev- ' one hardship.' As he was net charged with the ille gality of the arrest he was justified in snowing ' that the arrest was necessary. Thou he came to the charge of undue severity. Why, close arrest was necessarily severe, amid it was not his fault nor did it justify any change from the ordinary coons of proceeding that Sergeant-Major !alley was of plethoric habits. end had a sick wife. If It did then the sooner such men left the military service the better. Even in civil life at home, the ' physical condition of the criminal or his domestic circum stances did not alter the punishment when a conviction for crime took place. If anything more ought to be Ind to his charge it was rather excess of lenienw_than too great severity. He might have placed Sergoaat•Major . sslLy in solitary confinement, but eonsidsries the ondition of Mtn. Lilley he did not wish, even in his dioite, to deprive the sergeant-major of the solace of his wife 's society. [C,olewe iOrawley was proceeding with his defence when oar report hit.] MELANCHOLY BOAT ACCIDENT. SEVEN LIVES LOST. (From the Preston Guardian d yostirday.) . . One of the most melancholy occurrences we have for same time had to record took plow at Winos, Dear Lytham. last evening, by which seven persons were drowsed. Far three week' past there have been staying at Lytham. Mr. Sugars, • merchant, of Manchester, toge ther with his wife, two seas, and three daughters. The sone, Henry and Thomas, were aged respectively about 21 and 16 years ; and the daughters, Jessie. Laura, and Mary, were 21, 15, and 10 years old. During their visit to Lytham, Miss Elias Wihoe, a young lady of about 20, has been staying with them ; and on Tuesday week the party were joined by Mr. Walter Wilson. brother to Miss Wilson, aged 2.1, who, it is believed. was betrothed to the eldest of the Mimes Sugars. About sieves o'clock on Tuesday morning all the party, with the exception of Mr. and Mrs. Sugars, proceeded to the river for the purpose of hiring • boat and shooting birds. None of the youths, we believe, were accustomed to rowing ; but as there sou little wind blowing, although the tide was beginning to flow, no danger was appreheeded. They stated to the owner of the boat, a man named Parkin- eon, that they intruded polling as far as the docks, and left with • pair of oars. Soots afterward, two of the! youths were observed ca one of the sandimaks with their goes, and nothing more was heard of them until a Whi ps= wee received by Mr. Sugars, toting that they had go= ea to Prestos with the tide, and would return to Lytham in time for dieser, at six o'clock. As the► did not arrive at borne at that hour, Mr. and Mrs. Sugars became very as:ions. ands host's crew was despatched up the river is search of the panty; but, after proceeding u far 44 the Mass Paint, they had to return without any tidep of them, beyond what they had learnt from the men on the dredge, who saw them pass homewards about half part five o'clock. At daybreak this (Wedoseday) morning, the search was renewed, when the beat In which the minder party left Lytham was die. fevered oppo.ite Wartoa, and soon afterwards the body of NW Laura Sagan was foiled on the sand. AU farther marsh, which wee prosecuted all day. es both the Lytham end Hesketh sides of the estuary has se far proved fruitless. Of our= =thin is knows. and sever can be knows with esetsiaty, of the masse of the (awful casualty ; but it is equesed that the boat's keel moat have caught on one of the net 'takes below Wades. If such were the cur, as the tide was rending with peat rapidity, the boat would probably be instenhassosely upset, and ►he whole engulfed withost the lost waretng or base of moue.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) Two o'Omoz. Business in the stock markets to-day has been inactive, but prices are generally firm. The funds are quoted about per cent. better than they closed yesterday. There is also a fractional im provement in some of the principal speculative foreign bonds, owing to the satisfactory settlement of the account of the dealer who failed yesterday. Home railway stocks and financial and other shares are nerdy. _ . At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Ratites opened at 661 r. 45c., exdiv., showing a decline of / per cent. compared with the last price of yesterday. Consols are now quoted 901 to /, ex div., for money, and 91/, buyers, ex div. for the, count (7th January). The official business report is as follows:—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 901, 1, I ; ditto for account, 911 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 901, ; New Three per Cents., 901, /, ; Bank Stock, 233 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 106/, 1 ; ditto Bonds, 6s. die. ; Five per Cent. " enfaced" rupee paper, 113 ; and Exchequer Bills, 65., 55., 10s. dis. The foreign stock market, though inactive, is rather firmer. There is an improvement of 4 tot per cent. in Mexican, and of 1 to 1 per cent, in some of the other speculative descriptions. Some of the present quotations are annexed : Turkish 1854 Loan, 881 to 891; ditto, 1858, 702 to # ; ditto, 1862, 701 to 1 ; the Consolides, 461 to 1 ; Greek, 231 to 2014 ; Mexican, 341 to I ; and Spanish Passive, 33 to 4. Venezuela Bonds of 1862 have again fallen. Transactions are recorded as follows :—Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 100 ; Dutch Two-and-a. Half per Cents., 641 ; Egyptian, second issue, 984 ; Greek, for account, 264, 26/ ; Italian for account, 701, 4 ; Mexican, for account, 331; 344 ; Moorish, 93 ; Portumuese, 1856, ke., for ac count, 484 ; ditto, 1863, 44, 1; Russian,lB22, 91; ditto, 1830, 87; ditto, 1862, 882, 1; Spanish New De ferred, for account, 472 ; ditto, Passive, for account, 322, 33 ; dittdiGertificatee, for account, 131 ; Turkish, 1858, for account, 70, 692 ; ditto 1862, 70 ; ditto, for account. 704, 2 ; Venezuela, 1862, for account, 542, 1, 55, 54. International Financial shares are quoted 41 to f prem. ; General Credit, 21 to prem. ; Lon don Financial, 81 to t prem. ; Mercantile Credit, 41 to 51 prem. ; Hudson's Bay, 3 to 2/ dis. ; Egyptian Trading, I} to 11 prem. ; Merchant Banking, 41 to 1 prem. ; Laud Mortgage Bank of ludia, 21 to prem. ; West India and Pacific Steam, 1 to If prem.; English and Swedish Bank, 21 to 1 prem. ; East London Bank, 21 to 3 prem. ; Discount Corpora tion, 4 to 4 prem. ; and Floating Dock. 11 to 11 prem. . . . . . Another purchase took place yesterday of 100,000 f. stock for account of the Court of Chancery. Yesterday was the fortnightly set tling day in shares and foreign stocks, and, in connexion with the final adjustment of the account in the latter department, the event of chief import ance has been the announcement of the failure of Mr. William H. Weatherby. This gentleman has been the largest dealer in some of the most specu lative foreign stocks, including Greek, Mexican, Turkish Consolide's, and the Confederate Loan, the transactions and fluctuations in which have of late been so extensive. His failure is said to bo chiefly attributable to the severe depreciation in the latter stock. The amount of the liabilities which he is unable to meet is estimated by rumour at about 5,0001. It appears that, through some circumstances which require explanation, Mr. Weatherby's autho rised clerk went on paying his differences and even dealing for the new account up to half-past two o'clock. The official announcement of the failure was not made until ten minutes to three, when it caused immense confusion amongst the dealers, a portion of the stock received having already been passed on to other parties. The cheques given yes terday on account of the defaulter will either not be honoured, or if honoured, the amount must, in accordance with the rules of the Stock Ex change, be paid beck to the general fund, for the benefit of all the creditors alike. This failure fur nishes a remarkable instance of the fluctuations and risks which are inseparable from an extensive course of dealings in such speculative securities as foreign stocks. Beginning with a very limited capital, Mr. Weatherby is mid to have accumulated, by his tact and skill as a dealer in these stocks, the large sum of about 30,0001., the whole of which has been swept away within a period of about two months by the fall in prices. The particulars are published of 40 bonds of the Italian Five per Cent. Loan of 1862 which have been drawn, and will be paid off on the let of January by Messrs. C. J. Hambro and Son. The bonus certificates of the Maremmana Railway are to be detached from the bonds and retained by the holders. The dividend falling due the Ist of January on the Turkish Loan of 1863 is advertised for payment in due course by Messrs. Olyn and Co. About 160,0001. iu bar gold, chiefly American, was sent into the Bank yesterday, making a total of 347,0001. for the week, against ascertained with drawals of only 39,0001. The 236,5001. Australisn by the Norfolk, and 101,0001. Californian by the West India packet, have yet to be disposed of. Of the 317,0001. by the Seine, from the West Indies, 216,0001. is silver and 101,0001. gold. The bidding& for 40,00,000 rupees (400,0001.) in bills on India took plaoe yesterday at the Bank of England. The proportions allotted were :—To Calcutta, 21,00,000 rupees ; to Bombay, 17,00,000 rupees ; and to Madras, 2,00,000 rupees. The minimum price declared was as before, viz., Is. 110. per rupee on Calcutta and Madras, and Is. 111 d. on Bombay. The applications within the limits amounted to 124 lace (1,240,0001.) Tenders on Calcutta at Is. 144 will receive about 9 per cent. ; on Bombay, at 2s. Oed., will receive in full, and nothing will be allotted below that rate ; and on Madras, at Is. 113 d., will receive about GO per cent. A first dividend of 10s. in the 11. is DOW in course of payment by the official manager of the Herefordshire Banking Company, under the wind ing•-up order in Chancery. We understand that at a meeting held yesterday of the directors of the Ottoman Bank in liquidation it was decided to pay 41. upon each old, and Be. upon each new, share of paid-up capital on account of the reserve feud and profits up to the closing of the business of the bank. A circular to this effect will be sent to the shareholders. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 7.1091. over last year ; the London and South Western as increase of 2,4051. ; the Great Eastern an increase of 4,0391. ; the Great Northern an increase of 5,4441. ; and the Great Western an increase of 5,0881. The directors of the East London Bank have appointed Mr. J. W. Duman, recently of the London sod Westminster Bank, as the manager of their Bhoreditch branch, which opens for business on the Lt January. With reference to the market for American secu rities, Mr. E. F. f3atterthwaite report., as follows : The Londe° mantel for A 1011601.11 securities has bees de r(lois; the week, on lower quotations from New rk7 d coupled with an advancing rate of t :change. In Illinois shares the depreciation is about 2 dole., and in Eris I dol.
