CITY NEWS—YESTERDAY. About £62,000 in gold of various kinds was with drawn from the Bank to-day for exportation. At the recent meeting of the Commercial Gas Light and Coke Company a very satisfactory report was presented to the proprietors, and a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum declared. The next series of wool sales are fixed t• com mence on Thursday, the 13th November. Accord ing to a cirsular of Messrs. Willans and Overbury, the arrivals to the present date are 49,048 bales, of which 21,095 are from the Cape, and the re mainder from Australia. CITY NEWS-THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. - - There is rather less inquiry for discount accom modation to-day, the supply of commercial bills on Oiler having fallen off, but the rates continue firm, and bankers and others show very little disposition to make even the slightest concession. The in creased quietude of business may be attributed to the fact that many parties had obtained accommo dation before the weekly meeting of the Bank di rectors, because the opinion was entertained in some quarters that the minimum might be advanced to the extent of 1 per cent. The Bank of England returns, completed to the 22d of October, exhibits some rather important al terations. - There is a large falling off in the stock of bullion, while the reserve of notes has been slightly diminished. The other securities have been considerably reduced, as also the public and private balances.

Sugars have been in increased demand at slightly enhanced prices. Coffee, rice, and tea, however, have been a shade cheaper. In fruit and spices there has beet a moderate amount of business transacted at about previous rates. Tallow has continued dull, and prices have slightly given way for both present and forward delivery. The directors of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canad a have issued there report in anticipation of the general meeting of shareholders. The board recognises the improved management in Canada, and the development of the traffic of the company, and from reports which have been received, the directors state that they are led to believe that the abundant harvest of this year, together with the somewhat reviving trade in the colony, will furnish a steady and largely improving revenue. The directors propose to reduce the number of their body from 15 to 12, and that the meetings of the 13oard shall be held in England, while the directors in Canada will constitute a committee of the Board for local, financial, and other purposes. A long report is appended from Mr. Watkin, who pro ceeded to Canada to represent the interests of the Board in important matters connected with the company. The traffic receipts of the South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian Railway for the week ending the 14th inst. amounted to £54,457, showing a de crease of £10,518 compared with the same period of last year. On the Central of Italy branch, from Plaisance to Bologne, the earnings were £4,414, against £3,633 in 1851. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this morning, Three per Cent.

The transactions in the English Stock Market have been about equal to the recent daily average, and at present there are no indications of a revival of speculative activity. Consols at the commence ment of business were 93k, but sellers have since appeared whose operations have caused a decline to 9 31 for money and the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are quoted 921 ; India 5 Per Cents. are steady at 1091 ; and the Enfaced Paper at 1051 ; the Bonds are 295. to 325. prem. ; the Exchequer Bills for June are marked 195.; and the March ditto, 20s. prem. ; the Red Sea Tele graph are 21k.

A letter from C at h er i ne Wilson, THE SUPPOSED MUR D E R OF P ETER MAWER, AT BOSTON. who was exe cuted at the Old B a il ey on Mon d ay mor ning last for the murder o f M rs. Soames, was l a t e ly received by John Mawer, a bricklayer residing on the Bur ton-road, Lincoln, and was written in answer to a letter from him. John Mawer, w ho has been 25 years in th e emp l oy of Mr. C. Ward, of Lincoln. was brother of the late Peter Mawer, of Boston, and it wilt be remembered that Catharine Wilson was housekeeper to the deceased, and that she was sus pected of having poisoned him in 1854. On his body, however, being exhumed some months ago, no trace of poison was discovered. Peter Mawer, it appears, had made a will in favour of his brother John, who was not only heir-at-law, but was held in affectionate regard by him. Peter Mawer fre quently told his brother that what little he had would go to him on his death, and about 12 month& before that happened John went over to Boston, and in the course of the afternoon Peter said to him, in the presence of the prisoner, " All will be right for you, Jacky you'll get what little I have when I die, for there's no one else for it." The same after noon Catharine Wilson, es housekeeper, made tea, and after John had partaken of it he became exceedingly ill, and was taken with sudden vomiting, and was violently purged—the symp toms exhibited by the several victims of Wilson . Peter sent for a medical man, who at once came; he said he could do John good, and that he was only suffering from bowel complaint, brought on by change of air. H e forwarded some medicine, but after taking a dose, which was administered by Catharine, he became worse. Late in the evening, Peter Mawer was so vexed at the medicine having a contrary Effect to what was expected, that he threw the bottle containing it at the wall, and smashed it to pieces. The next morning the medi cal man sent him some more medicine, but as the violent symptoms still continued,:John, ill as he was, went home to Lincoln, and consulted his own medi cal attendant, who, after hearing a statement of the case, remarked that it was very odd a medical man should have prescribed a medicine which had such an effect. A bottle of medicine was given to him. and he soon recovered. In 1854 Peter Mawer made a fresh will, leaving his property, which was worth about £5O a year, to Catharine Wilson, thus setting aside the will he had previously made in favour of his brother; a month afterwards be died under cir cumstances of a suspicious nature, and although it could not be proved that he was poisoned, there can be no moral doubt that he was, and that Catharine Wilson was the murderess. Immediately after the death of his brother, John Mawer consulted Mr. Tweed, solicitor, of Lincoln, with reference to tak ing steps to set aside the will, but as it was properly drawn up and attested there appeared no chance of success, and the matter was allowed to drop. After the conviction of Catharine Wilson, however, John Mawer stated these facts to his employar (Mr. Ward), and the latter, at the request of John, wrote to a solicitor at Boston for 'nformation about the will, but received no answer. Mr. Ward, then, thinking it possible to obtain an admission from the condemned murderess that coer cion and undue influence was used to induce Peter Mawer to sign the last will—eepecially as it could do no harm to her to now acknowledge it if such was the case—endeavoured to obtain an interview with her. He accordingl3 wrote to the Sheriff for permission to visit the condemned, at the same time time stating his object. In reply he -received a letter stating that Catharine Wiison refused to see him, and therefore he could not grant the permis sion required. At this time Mr. Ward happened to be in London, and he saw Mr. Under-Sheriff Mackrell, and stated the above facts to him. The Under-Sheriff said there was not the slightest rea son to believe that the condemned woman would give the information sought for, but at the same time he offered to give Mr. Ward an order to see her. This was declined, but on reaching home Mr,. Ward advised John Mawer to write to Wilson with re ference to the will. A letter was accordingly written by Mawer's wife, and the following reply (in the handwriting of the prisoner) was received : " Gaol of Nowgate, 13th day of October, 1862. " Sir,—l received your letter this morning. I must decline your visit with thanks. You say you sincerely forgive the past. You never had anything to forgive me of. I always treated you well, and should of treated you the same had you of come to my house 8 years the 17th of this month. Then your visit might of been beneficial to us both. You know the advice of a friend need is a friend indeed seldom to be found. I never had any malice to wards you and now I have none towards those that has falsely swore my life away, for I most solemnly declare I am innocent of those dreadful charges. There has not been any poison ever traced to my possession or satisfactory proved that any one had died by poison. At the same time how much better to die innocent than guilty. I have been in prison 6 month my time has been spent in seeking that Savour who alone can save my soul. It matters little what way the pa nr body is disposed Of as long as the soul is all wright with its Maker. Next Monday by this time I shall be in Eternity there to give account of deeds done. I am not afraid to die. I care not what man say of me or what they think, I will only ask mercy of a offended God and there sue for pard on . I shall die in peace with a ll. I have had a few li nes f rom George Kent (a young man who resides in Li nco l n ) b ut I was too ill to wr i te an d of course I declined t o see him if he came. I w ill no t see any of my o wn re l ations who have bege d f or a interview. I saw a ll t h e friends that wish to sea me before my trial, th en I never asked any to come to spea k for me, and since my trial I have refused to see any. I have been very ki n dl y treated by all since I have b een in prison. I h ave plenty of sympythea from L a d a y s who visit th e p r i son, and all my wants supplyed here. I know this letter I rece i ved is not written by you. I h o p e you have these sen ti ments that I read in it is my earnest prayer, and b e li eve me to be your wellwisher. 'Written by " CATH ARINE WILSON. Enclosed i n th e l etter was a copy of verses, hea d ed " The Qu est i on of Questions, " and " What think ye of Christ P" on which the following words were written by the condemned To the writer of the letter, from Catharine Wilson, 1862." It will be seen from the letter that Wilson entirely bucked the question put to her, and that nearly the whole of it is taken up• with assertions of her innocence, and of her being prepared to meet her Maker. MY WIFE AND CHILD. [A correspondent, " Southron," sends us (Toronto Leader) the following, with a request for its publication in our columns. It is from the pen of the famoas " Stone wall" Jackson, written while he was with the United States army in Mexico, of which army he was then as he is now of the Confederate, a brave and efficient officer. Our correspondent thinks General Jackson must be accorded the merit of a true poet. The pathos of poetry and true affection were never more justly delineated.] The tattoo beats—the lights are gone ; The camp around in slumber lies ; The night with solemn pace moves on, The shadows thicken o'er the skies; But sleep my weary eyes hath flown, And sad, uneasy thoughts arise. I think of thee, oh dearest one, Whose love my early life hath blest— Of thee and him—our baby son— Who slumbers on thy gentle breast; God of the tender, frail, and lone, Oh, guard the gentle sleeper's rest. And hover, gently hover near To her, whose watchful eye is wet.. To mother, wife—the doubly dear, In whose young heart have freshly met Two streams of love so deep and clear— And cheer her drooping spirits yet. Now, while she kneels before Thy th rone , Oh, teach her, Ruler of the skies, That while by Thy behest alone Earth's mightiest powers fall or rise, No tear is wept to Thee unknown, No hair is lost, no sparrow dies! That Thou can'st stay the ruthless hands Of dark disease, and soothe its pai n ; That only by Thy stern commands The battle's lost, the soldier's slain— That from the distant sea or land Thou bring'st the wanderer home again.

SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Gibbons.) SEIZURE OF A BRITISH STEAM - It BY THE AMERICAN FEDE• RAL GOVERNMENT-IMPORTANT 71IDGMENT--CLARK V, PEA.I3BON. In this case the plaintiff is a seaman, and defendant the well-known shipowner of London and Hull, and the action was brought to recover £lO damages in lieu of wages. Mr. Hoffman was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Murphy for the defendant. The plaintiff, with other seamen, in the month of May last shipped on board the steamship Circassian, which sailed from Liverpool, and while between Havannah and New Orleans she was seized by a Federal gunboat, it being alleged that a contraband cargo was on board. The steamer was taken into West Quay, Florida, and condemned, the seamen being taken care of by the British consul, who finally sent them home. It was contended for the plaintiff that, the owner had contributed to the seizure of the vessel by having contraband goods on board, and therefore he wa , liable for wages up to the time of pl .intiff's arrival in Liver • pool. Mt. Murphy urged that defendant had paid all wages up to the date of the seizure. That he could not admit there wore contraband goods on board, and that an appeal was now pending in the supreme court in America. In fact, the learned counsel argued that the seizure of the Circassian by the Federal Government was nothing but an act of piracy, and they had just as much right to take a steamer out of the British Channel as to take the Cir cassian where they did. His Honour delivered judgment as follows : This was an action by a seaman for damages in the nature of wages sustained in consequence of the breach of ship ping articles by the owner in not employing him for the homeward voyage from Nassau. The voyage having been put an end to by the capture of the ship by the Federal blockading fleet, the ship was subsequently condemned by the American court as a prize, which being a judgment in rem, is conclusive evidence of a breach of neutrality on the part of the ship. Under the old law the seamen's wages were dependent on freight, and, as a general rule, any cause putting an end to the freight-earning powers of the ship deprived the seaman of wages, but the 17th and 18th Vic., cap. 104, put an end to this doctrine, and the right of a seaman to his wages rests now on the same prin ciples as that of a workman to the price of his labour. On looking through the authorities I find that, even under the old law, as it stood previous to the statute, a seaman might have recovered wages even where the ship earned no freight, as, for instance, as it is put by Mr. Justice Story in the case of the Saratoga (Galerson's American Reports, 175), " where the owner has contracted for freights upon terms or contingencies differing from the usual rules of maritime law." If, therefore, the defendant had sent the vessel in question on her voyage with the intention of committing an infraction of neutrality, and should have been cap tured for such infraction, the seamen would have had a right to their wages under the old law, even though no freight had been earned. But this case rests upon a far more simple ground. The contract to employ for the voyage was an entire contract, and the plaintiff had a righ to be employed during the whole of the time, and therefore had a right to recover damages from the defendant for the loss sustained by reason of his not having beer. so employed, he having been ready and willing to perform his part of the contract. It has been contended on the part of the defen dant that the contract was dissolved by vie 1124101', and that therefore the defendant is not liable for the conse quences. Now, with this view I do not agree for the contract has been put an end to by the capture of the vessel by a friendly power for infraction of neutrality, which must have been caused either by the acts of the owner or of the crew. Now, as it is not charged that the plaintiff was guilty of misconduct in any way, I must assume 'hat the breach of neutrality was the act of the defendant, and thus done in his own wrong, of which he cannot take advantage. I therefore find for the plain tiff, with costs.—Verdict for plaintiff. It is stated that the American Government (Federal) have fitted up the C rcassian as a cruiser. SPO.R7ING INTELLIGENCE.

ROBBERY OF A VALUABLE GOLD WATCH AND CHAIN. —Margaret Smith, a well-dressed female, was charged with stealing a gold watch and chain, of the value of £lO, the property of Mr. Philips Toledo, of 21, Norfolk-street, Strand, gentleman. Wm. Seymour, cab driver, badge 11,267, said a gentle man hired his cab and got in, and the prisoner jumped on the footboard of the cab, and the gentleman cried out that he had been robbed. He went after the prisoner and stopped her. He afterwards found a watch hook in the cab. The gentleman had taken too much. The gentleman told him to call at 21, Norfolk-street, for him at 10 this morning, but on going there he (witness) was told that he had not been home all night. Thorp, 88 C, said the gentleman, in the prisoner's pre sence, said that he had lost his watch, and that the pri soner had got it. He said he had got into the cab, and that prisoner got on the footboard, and he heard a snap at his watch. The last witness said he saw the prisoner jump on the cab and then run away. He (Thorp) then searched the different areas in Charles-street, down which street the prisoner ran, and in one of them he found the watch and chain, the watch still going. The area was about 15 feet in depth. Prisoner was remanded for a week, for the attendance of the prosecutor. ATIPMPTING TO PTCK POCKETS AT THE GALLERY OP ILLUSTRATION.—Henry W4terman, a carver and gilder, was charged by Sergeant Gloss, 3 C l with attempt ing to pick the pockets of several ladies at the Gallery of Illustration the previous night. Mr. John Char es Walter, the check-taker at Mr. Ger man Reed's, proved seeing the prisoner fumbling at the pockets of several ladies' dresses, his band being thrust through a hole at the bottom of his coat pocket, and thus being screened from view. Sergean Gloss, 3 C, produced the coat, and the bottom of the pocket was cut out, so as to enable the hand of the per son wearing it to be passed through. The prisoner told him that he had worked at Brighton, but had been in Lon don for a few weeks. Prisoner was remanded. THE OLD BOTTLE TRlCK.—Thomas Connell, an art ful-looking lad, was charged before Mr. Knox with being found in the area of the house, 54, Grosvenor-street, sup posed for the purpose of committing a felony. George Green, butler to Colonel Henry John Daniel, 54, Grosvenor-street, said that about ten this morning the prisoner was found in an entrance in the area of the house, and on being asked as he was making off what he wanted, he replied, "To buy old bottles." A constable was then sent for, and the prisoner given into custody. Kent, 191 C, said that although prisoner said he went to the house to buy bottles he found no money on him, and only a knife. Prisoner—My father buys bottles, at least he used to do so, but he can't now as ho is dead. lam known to a wine merchant in Oxford-street. Mr. Knox—He shall be sent for. Prisoner—l don't know his name, but if he was to see me he would know me. Mr. Knox—l shall remand you for a week. WESTMINSTER. CAUTION TO DEALERS IN VALUABLE PROPERTY.--Jas. Ward and Robert Gilbert were placed at the bar, the former charged with stealing, and the latter in aiding and abetting him in carrying off some valuable property from the house of Mr. W. Gibbs, 13, Chester-terrace, Chester-square. Prosecutor said—l ant a watchmaker. At a little before 6 last evening the prisoner Ward entered my shop and asked me if I had a gold watch to sell at about 10 guineas. I took a case of watches out of the window and then showed him one at 15 guineas, but as he had mentioned 10 guineas, I also showed him the gold case of an unfinished watch at 12 guineas, thinking that that might suit him. He took one in each hand and was comparing the size, when he sud denly lurned round and cast his eye towards the door, and another man, who had been concealed in the doorway of the next house, suddenly appeared and thrust my shop door as wide open as it would go.

The Lord Chancellor and the other peers named in the Royal Commission having taken their seats on the wool sack, the Black Rod was directed to summon the COM. mons to the bar of their lordships' house, and that official proceeded in the usual formal manner, and with as much ceremony as if the house was full of members, to execute his orders. In a few minutes her Majesty's faithful Commons, re presented by the clerks of the house, appeared, and then her Majesty's Royal Commissioners commanded the commis sion which directed them to declare the Parliament further prorogued until the 13th of November.

PAitis, Thursday Evening.—Mr. Dillon, a member of the English bar, who for many years past has been the editor of the French journal the Sport, and was well known as au organiser of French races, was killed yesterday at St. Germain in a duel with the Duke de Gramont Caderousse. The cause of the quarrel which has resulted in this fatal issue is said to be that the duke, some time ago, on the occa sion of some races at the Chalons camp, objected to a certain Mr. Thomas being entitled to the qualification of a " gen tleman rider," Mr. Dillon, in his journal the Sport espoused the cause of M. Thomas, and wrote several para. graphs which greatly irritated the Duke de Caderousse. The latter addressed several letters to the Sport,and to the Francs Hippique,and those journals not inserting them,he got them printed in a minor Belgian paper. Thereupon Mr. Dillon sent a hostile message to the duke, choosing for his friends Colonel Viscount de Nod, and another officer named De Maury. The duke at first objected that a man of his rank was not bound to meet Mr. Dillon, but being pro voked by a strong letter from Col. de NoZ:, ho waived that objection, and authorised his friends, the Prince d'Essling and Viscount Talon, to arrange a meeting. Mr. Dillon, as the offended party, chose pistols for weapons, but after s negotiation, which resulted in the withdrawal of the Prince d'Essling from the affair and the substitution of M. Fitz" james as one of the duke's seconds, it was agreed that the duel should be fought with swords. After. a a f d e v w er p sary , 4 Mr. Dillon was run through the body died the spot. s sword—the heart was touched an±.122t2.... IHE LAUNCH OF THE CALEDONIA (THIS DAY).
