MONEY MARKET. CITY NE W S-YE STERD AY. Messrs. BAri , ..2g Brothers and Co. have received by this mail, by which, bowevior, it is unusual to transmit, £320 Ss. on account of New Granada divi- deride. An auction of the foreign redeemable debt of Spain will take place at Madrid on the 31st instant. The sum assigned by the Government is 7,386,472 reals. About L 77,000 in bar gold was sent into the Bank to-day. The Lord Raglan has arrived from Melbourne with £185,000 in gold. The cotton market was very flat to-day, and the sales were only 1,000 bales. The rate on Paris was a trifle higher, but gene rally the foreign exchanges were without material alteration to-day. No official news relating to the contract for the Venezuelan Loan has transpired. It is, however, known. that Mr. Mocatta has drawn for a large amount on Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. ; and the general inference is that the contract may be regarded. as ratified. It is also rumoured that the c”stoms duties are likely to pr sufficient to pay 3 per co nt. at once on the old stock. The •prospectus of the Standard Bank of British South Africa (Limited) makes its appearance under very satisfactory auspices, the directors personally represemting the interests of the Cape, together with other connections which cannot fail to be of great service to the undertaking. The capital is to be £1,000,000, in 10,000 shares of £lOO each, with power to increase to £2,000,000, the first issue being limited to 5,009 shares. The Cape of Good Hope no doubt presents a very fine field for bankir ig operations, and the success that bas at tended the London and South African Bank shows that v cell-organised establishments will attract an impor tent business and be appreciated. It is also a satisfactory feature that the preliminary ex penses will be confined to the actual outlay in curred,. The rates of discount on first-class bills in the colonies range from 8 to 12 per cent., and money is employed safely at this high figure. The dividends paid by the present local banks varied L last year from 12 to 22 per cent. per ennui n. The head office of the bank will be in Londe )n. CITY NEWS--THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Owing to the release of the October dividends the dis count market presents a rather easier ap pearance, the average charge for negotiating first class secu rities being li per cent., while exceptional transactions are reported at even a fraction below that quotation. An extraordinary meeting of the Universal Metrine In surance Company has been called for the 233 just, for the purpose of considering several special resolutions. Two o'CLocK. 'The Liverpool cotton market to-day was a little firmer ; sales about 3,000 bales. At Paris this morning, Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 70f. 75c,, being sc. lower than yesterday. The trafEc receipts of the South Austrian and Lombardo- Venetian Railway for the week ending the 7th inst.. ~ amounted to £53,523, being a decrease of £4,129 cc ,mpared with the same period in 1861. A rather heavy feeling has pervaded the market for En glis'n securities to-day, and very little business has been n .egotiated. Consols for transfer are 93a t, and for ti ►e 6th proximo 934 1 4.

The Sessions were resumed this morning at the Session house, Clarkenwell. THE CHARGE OF OBTAINING GOODS UNDER FRAUDU- LENT PRETENCES BY A JOURNALIST ---JUDGMENT, In the case of Stephen J.Ai:enoY, a journalist, and formerly connected with the Liverpool press, and corre spondent for some London papers, who was convicted of obtaining some books from a Mr. Phillips under false pre tences, an important legal question arose, the jury in the first instance returned a verdict of guilty, but added they were of opinion that the prisoner intended to pay for the books. It was then objected that that finding amounted to a verdict of not guilty ; the learned judge, however, directed the jury to find a general verdict of guilty, and took lima to consult Mr. Bodkin, the Assistant Judge, and reserved his judgment. The prisoner was this morning brought up for judgment before Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Payne. The learned judge (Mr. Bodkin) addressed the prisoner, and said he had been tried in another court, before Mr. Payne, on a charge of obtaining goods under fraudulent pretences. The juryhad returned a verdict of guilty, adding that they were of opinion that at the time of obtaining the goods, he (the prisoner) intended to pay for them ; that verdict was refused by the judge as not receivable, and in that opinion he concurred. The learned judge then told the jury if they were of opinion that at the time the prisoner obtained the goods he did intend to pay for the them, that would be a verdict of not guilty. On the other hand, if they thought otherwise, they would find him guilty. He had considered the matter with the learned judge, and he had so much doubt upon the legality of the verdict, that they thought a case ought to be stated. In the opinion of the judges sitting in criminal appeals, judgment would therefore stand over until their decision`; in the meantime the prisoner might be at liberty, on entering into his re cognisances in £BO, and two sureties in £4O each, with notice of bail. (Before Mr. Bodkin.) Claude Nicolas Laurent, described as a cook, was in dicted for feloniously assaulting and wounding Victor Julien. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. The jury, after a long consultation, desired to "return a qualified verdict that the prisoner was guilty, but without intent." The learned Judge refused to receive that verdict, they must either find the prisoner guilty or not guilty ; the jury then retired, and after a short absence returned a ver dict of guilty. The learned Judge then sentenced the prisoner to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING A HORSE AND CAB.--Thomas King, of 25, Harley-mews, a cab-driver, badge 8,704, was charged be fore Mr. Knox with stealing a horse and cab of the value of £4O, the property of Mr. Samuel Nash, an extensive cab owner, of Edward-street, Regent's-park. Henry Buckle, a cab-driver, badge 2,523, said on the previous evening he left his cab and horse on the rank in Great Portland• street, and went into a public-house. On coming out he missed the horse and cab, and went into Oxford-street in search of them, when he saw the prisoner driving three persons. He ran after him and got on the box, when the prisoner said, " I can't take you. lam en• gaged." He told the prisoner that perhaps he would give him a ride, but he objected and told him (witness) to get down. He, however, kept on the box till he saw a police man, and then pulled up the horse, and gave the prisoner in charge for stealing the horse and cab. In answer to Mr. Knox, the witness said he knew nothing of the prisoner, but had seen him before. Mr. Nash, of 54, Edward-street, Regent's-park, said the horse and cab were his property, and of the value of £4O. Prisoner said he took the horse and cab thinking they belonged to a friend. Mr. Knox said he did not think the prisoner meant to steal the horse and cab, but that his object was to take them to earn a few shillings. He should deal with the case as one of unlawful possession, and commit the prisoner for two months with hard labour. It may be stated that many complaints have been made of similar conduct to that of the prisoner's, much to the annoyance of cab-proprietors and drivers, SOUTHWARK. THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER.—WiIIiam Bird, the pro prietor of a coffee shop in the New Kent-road, was charged with assaulting Susan Bird, his wife. The complainant said that the prisoner was in the habit of ill-treating her, and last evening eke saw him in the New Kent-road, in company with some females, and on her re monstrating with him he turned on her, knocked her down, and attempted to bite her hand. She was satisfied that he would have done her some serious injury, except for the interference of the poli ce . Sh e h ad not use d an y language calculated to irritate th e p r i soner further t h an upbraidin g him with his mi scon d uc t i n b eing in compan y withim proper women. The prisoner, in reply to the magistrate, drew a very flattering portrait of himself, and entered in to a statement to the effect that his wife was perpetually " nagging " him, and that she would not let him have peace at home or abroad. He had lost several profitable businesses, and hundreds of money through her unfortunate temper. Police constable M, 292, proved to having witnessed the assault, Mr. Burcham said the complainant was evidently jealous of the prisoner, and not a very agreeable companion. He roust, however, bind over the prisoner to keep the peace. MARKETS-TIIIS DAY. MARK LANE. The supply of English wheat on sale to-day, was mode rate. For dry parcels, there was a steady demand, at Monday's quotations ; otherwise, the trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. We were well supplied with foreign wheat, in which sales progressed slowly, at Monday's currency. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a moderate extent, at late rates. For barley, especially for malting qualities, the trade ruled firm, and previous rates were well maintained. In malt a very moderate business was transacted, on former terms. The show of oats was moderate, and the trade ruled inactive, at Monday's decline in the quotations. Beans sold heavily, at the late fall in prices. Peas were in slow request, yet no change took place in their value. For good and fine flour the trade was steady at full prices, but inferior qualities were very difficult of sale.

The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the shareholders this company was held to-day, at the London Tavern. F. Somerville Head, Esq., occupied the chair. The report of the directors, which mils adopted, stated that the receipts on the capital account during the past half-year amounted to £2,645, and the total receipts to the 31st of July last were £5,220,945. The outlay during the half.year consisted of the cost of fishjointing 12i miles of rails, the conversion of 75 freight cars into wheat cars, the laying down of additional sidings for the increased goods traffic, and the proportion fairly chargeable to capital of the cost of stone and iron bridges in substi tution of wood; those charges amounted altogether to £7,859, making the expenditure on capital account £5,019,302, leaving a balance of £201,643. The revenue account showed that the gross receipts for the past half-year amounted to £246,229; the working expenses. including maintenance of way, taxes, insurances, and rent of suspension bridge, £129,051, leaving a balance of £117,178. From this was deducted £17,498 for interest on Government loan, £34,658 interest on company's bonds, &c., £6,954 for loss on conversion of American currency, £35,222 renewal of rails, sleepers, bridges, &c., and £260 on account of Flam borough accident, leaving the belance from the half-year's working £22,585. To this was added £5,238, the surplus from the preceding half-year (after paying £8,816, the ex penses of the committee of investigation), making the balanme £27,823, out of which the Board recommend the payment of a dividend at the rate of li per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of £2,704. The gross traffic had increased by the sum of £36,912, as compared with the corresponding half of 1861. The charge for the maintenance of way was now less than it was during that period by £6,545. The working expenses of the past half-year were consequently at the rate of 52'41 per cent., as compared with 61.92 per cent, in the corresponding six months. The locomotive charges were now at a lower rate per mile than they had ever hitherto been, and this reduction of expenditure had been carried out notwithstanding that five new engines had been added to the stock and that very extensive renewals and im provements had been effected in a very large number of the engines, the whole cost of which had been charged to revenue. A very serious loss, amounting to £6,954, had been incurred during the last half-year, owing to the depre ciated value of the American currency, in which this com pany's proportion of the thorough rates were paid, and the adverse exchanges at which remittances were made. For the future it had been proposed to the Grand Trunk and Buffalo and Lake Huron Companies to require that all freight going from local stations in Canada to places in the United States should either be prepaid, or, upon the property being handed over to the connecting lines at the frontier, have an addition made to the charges equivalent to the premium on gold at the time. To adopt the same course with " through " traffic was a more difficult matter, because the charges on that business could only be fixed in con cert with the American competing lines, as well as with those connecting with the Great Western. The receipts of the Detroit and Milwaukie Railroad had continued to increase very satisfactorily. The net traffic of that line for the year ending the 30th of June last amounted to 340,898 dots., which was more than sufficient to meet the in terest for that period on its first and second mortgage bonds. The gross traffic receipts for 26 weeks from January the let showed an increase of £21,153 over those of 1861. The ar rears of interest due to the Great Western of Canada Com pany for the loan of £250,000 now exceeded £lOO,OOO. The directors were unanimous in appointing Mr. T. Swinyard, who had been 15 years in the service of the London and North-Western Railway, to succeed Mr. Brydges, as gene ral manager. Mr. Swinyard assumed the charge of the line on the 2d ult. The accounts of the harvest in Canada were of the most satisfactory character, and encouraged the hope that, in spite of the heavy drawbacks attendant upon a civil war in the States, the home as well as the foreign traffic on the company's lines would continue to improve. DISASTROUS SLIP AT A QUARRY.—A few days ago an alarming accident occurred at the Easdale Slate Quarries, in Argyleshire, belonging to the Marquis of Breadalbane, and immense damage to property is the con sequence. One of the most extensive of the quarries is situate on a small island of about half a mile in circum ference, and is exposed to a very mild and tempestuous sea. The rubbish taken out of the quarry has been generally filled into waggons and thrown over the side. This, how ever, of itself is not a very secure bulwark, and from the nature of the debris it does not consolidate, and, the natural boundary between the sea and the quarry being slate rock, was easily to a great extent lost sight A piece of the boundary rock fell in, impelled by the great force of water from without. There was no breach, however, made, but only a large tunnel or perforation 20 or 30 feet below the sui face. The extensive steam apparatus used for drawing up the slates, consisting of pumps, cranes, cranks, pumping gear, with inclined plane and railroad for taking up the slates, and a great portion of other valu able machinery, were precipitated into the quarry, which was nearly 300 feet deep. The quarry was soon filled with water, but luckily there was no loss of life, no one being at work at the time. Means are now being taken to reach the point where the perforation in the rock has been made, and, having built a strong war. at the point, so keep out the inroad of the sea. The water already in the quarry will then be pumped out —an operation which will require months to be completed. The expense will be very great—indeed, such that it was at one time doubted whether the recovery of the slates and sunken property would repay the cost ; but the quarry is a valuable working. About 80 families were thrown out of employment by this catastrophe, but they have been pro vided with work at the other quarries belonging to his lordship. From 20,000 to 30,000 slates were made per day, for which there was an increasing demand, and the value of the slates at the bottom is estimated at £15,000. DESPERATE ATTACK BY GAROTTERS.—Yester day morning, about one o'clock, Joseph Cheetham, who lives at No. 47, Milner-square, Islington, for the purpose of taking care of the house of his employers, Messrs. Dove Brothers, was aroused from his sleep by a violent noise at the street door. He partly dressed himself and went down to see what was wanted. The moment the door was opened a man who was in wait under the porch sprung upon and pinioned him, thereby depriving him of all means of resist ance, and a second man, who had been waiting near the lamppost, came up and struck him repeatedly in the face, breaking two of his teeth ; then seized him by the throat with one hand, and thrust his other hand into Cheetham's mouth. While in this position one of the garotters snatched from his waistcoat pocket a gold guard chain and also a gold Albert chain—they then tried his pockets, which, fortunately, were empty. After holding him in this manner until he was almost insensible, they released him and decamped with their booty through the squate. Cheetham states that he severely bit the hand that was in his mouth. He i s now i n a mos t p i t i a bl e s t a t e , his mouth and throat much swo ll en, b ru i se d, an d di sco loured. to his neighbours in the squar e , hearing his groans, went assistance, and found the poor fellow with his fac e covered with blood.

TUESDAY. The crowd usually convened on the borders of Suff; )1k and Cambridgeshire for the Cesarewitch Day began to E semble at an early hour; a heavy train from Bishopsga arrived half an hour behind its time on Monday evenin g, and a special in the morning brought so vast an increase that the largest number of pedestrians ever seen upon New, market-heath appeared there on the eventful morning t 7 the monster handicap. The doors of the subscription root I were crowded by 10 o'clock, and the street before it throngs ( with sightseers and market people. All seemed determines I to back their fancy, and the universal question was " Winn t will win ?" Outsiders of all descriptions found friends aEt prices approaching the fabulous, but nothing shook publi *c opinion with regard to the American horse Umpire, wh, o increased in favour as time rolled on, and at starting wi ll ; an extraordinary favourite. Four races were fixed to be run before the great one and four after it, but the leading feature of the day engrossed almost undivided attention, and but little note was taken of any other except the Clearwell, The great race was run at a quarter before 4 o'clock, in consequence of the restiveness of one horse and the falling of his jockey. Hartington, the winner, showed wonderful gameness, being so lazy a horse that his little jockey had to use his whip at more than a mile from home. The Clearwell again displayed the good fortune of the French stable with 2-yr-old horses, Hospodar winning very cleverly, and being afterwards backed for the Derby.

Exactly 30 minutes after the time set down for the start the white flag was lowered on the ditch, and in a few seconds after the horses were seen widely spread across the course coming through the gap, but in consequence of the haze that hung over the heath it was with extreme difficulty their colours could be distinguished ; but as near as we could dis. cern the leading division comprised Stradella, Hartington, Balham, Attaman, Wingrave, Agag, and Umpire, the lat ter with Asteroid, Silketone, Myrtle, and Catch'em Alive, lying in the centre of the course, with the others following in a cluster, some two lengths in their rear. In this order they came streaming across the flat, and on nearing the bushes Stradella, Hartington, and Anonyma, on the ex treme right, drew slightly away, having Myrtle, - Umpire, Silketone, Balham, and Attaman on their left, with Aste roid and Agag in close attendance, the others on fairly reaching the brow of the hill beginning to exhibit the effect of the pace, which up to this point had been exceedingly good. The first to give way was Silkstone, who, in a few strides further, was followed by Balder, Wingrave, Catch'em Alive, and Attaman. Half-way down the hill Stradella was disposed of, and Hartington, with Myrtle, Umpire, and Asteroid on his left, and Anonyma on his right, came on with a clear lead into the bottom, where the former swerved slightly to the left, which let up Myrtle and Umpire, and by the latter in a few strides also ran out to the right, and was immediately after passed by Asteroid, who went on in waiting upon the two light weights to within a short distance of the chair, where Wells made his effort, but failed to get up, Hartington winning cleverly by a length, Myrtle beating Asteroid by two lengths for second. Um pire was fourth, Anonyma, fifth, Stradella sixth, Balham [ seventh, Chere Arnie eighth, and Bathilde and Silkstone ninth and tenth.

EXECUTION OF 7HE BA; SAHIB. Cawnpore, Aug. 23, 1862. I arrived on the ground before the ga of at 5.30 a.m. on the morning of the 21st August, where a gallows of a most primitive style was erected—simply two uprights of about • five inches square and about ten feet apt u:t ; a cross beam of the same dimensions about twelve feol, high, and a rope dangling from the centre, with a comix ton slip knot at the end of it. About six feet high was a board with hinges, with a prop underneath to keep it np,, 'with a short rope at tached to the prop. There were ala rge number of natives present. They formed a semi-circle round the gallows, but kept at a respectable distance; ar vd here and there you would see groups of the better cla e s half hid by trees or walls, evidently not wishing to attin act attention. At this time (5.40 a.m) Mr. L—, the magi s trate, galloped up; and the native guards (of which there we re two companies) pre sented arms. Mr. L— at once e . a tered the jail, and after the irons were removed, he appear a d, followed by a native guard, in the centre of which Wtif; the wretched culprit, looking if possible more miserable t ban ever. He was led to the rear of the gallows, and thttro seated, while his arms were being pinioned. Many a vetseful look he cast up with his great villainous looking eyes at the fatal noose. At this time he requested that his body might be given to hill mother, which was very properly refused. He thctn mounted the gallows with the In angman (one of the lowest caste of natives) behind him, and stood on that treacherous looking board. While the rope was being adjusted he slowly looked all round, but emidently met with no sympa thetic gaze; he turned his eyes upwards and his lips moved as if speaking, but no one heard him. It is to be hoped he was repenting of the cruel murders he had committedduring the mutiny of 1857, but I muc h doubt it. The white cap was now drawn over his face. In the meantime a native below caught hold of the rope attached to the prop, and at a nod from the magistrate down came the prop, and with it the Rao Sahib. At this time it was 5.55 a.m. He struggled for three minutes. I may meat ion that when the rope was put on it was nearly taut, so he 13 ad a very slight fall. After hanging 25 minutes he was not "cut down," but the rope loosened at the top, and he was .let down into the arms of his two attendants pro. tent., who laid him on the ground rather roughly. The cap was th en drawn off, and his face, as you may well suppose, did z tot wear the most placid expression. He was a man of al out five feet eight inches high, rather well made, with sharp , features, and complexion not very dark, large bushy beard ;and moustaches, and a pair of most cruel and vindictive-k oking eyes. He had no clothes on further than a cloth rou red his loins, the usual dress of coolies. His body was rem c .ved to the banks of the river Ganges (close to the spot whi are so many of our un fortunate people were massacred when trping to escape in the boats in 1857) in charge of a E t tropean inspector, and there completely burned, and the ra mains thrown into the river. Such was the end of the great Bao Sahib, nephew of that worthy man Nana Sahib. wht , se similar departure from this world I hope to witness befi , re long, as it is be lieved he is skulking about not far fro m this. There were about fifty Europeans present at the execution, and a sprinkling of the net by any mama fair sex, as their core. plection was most decidedly coffee-coloured. J. C K. LITERA7 U.RE. Winifred's Wooing. By Georgians M. Craik. 1 Vol, Smith, Eider, and Co. Although this tale is destitute of pretension, it is, nevertheless, so agreeably written, and the princi pal characters are so naturally drawn, that it can not fail to please. Winifred, the heroine, is the only daughter of a supposed rich banker, who ruins him self by mining speculatioaw, suddenly dies, and leaves her and her aunt without provision. Her engage ment with the rich, dull, a s selfish Sir Charles Sinclair is broken off in cons equence, and she is forced to take the place of gover.ness. A Mr. Ber• tram, however, an old acquaintance of her father's, but on whom she, in her prosperous da . .vs, had some what looked down upon, from the ,fact of his being an iron founder, now proves a firm friend. Her prejudices against him gradually melt away, and his " wooing " co entually comes to a happy termination. The work derives its charm in no slight degree from its delicate hand ge in Winifred's character king. The gradual change is very happily expressed, and the tale is calculated to increase the author's reputation. DIE LATEST YANKEE INVENTION.—The Nor York correspondent of the Morning _Herald writes :—The c elebrated English executioner will probably read the fol lowing with surprise :—" The sheriff then drew the black cap over the prisoner's eyes, and descended the gallows stairs. The drop fell as he reached the bottom stair — time 1 21. Toole fell five feet with great force, enough to break his neck. As he fell he was seen to raise himself, by muscular contraction, twice—but very little. A. shudder followed, and all was over." The fact is, we have got a wonderful invention for hanging a man genteelly. It is the invention of a Yankee lawyer. The upper cross-beam is 15 feet high ; ia this is a sheave, o ver which the rope rolls, the end being fastened to the right hand timber, on which the cross-beam rests. The platform is seven feet in height. and may be ascended by a flight of stairs. It swings on hinges, the forward part resting upon a slight block, well greased, whi c h i s pulled out by an iroa lever. This lever is worked by a rope, which is attached to it, and also to the bottom stair. One end of this stair rests upon a block. The executioner goes up to adjust the cap, an assistant slips out the block, and when the executioner co mes d own the lever is worked by his weight on the stair, the bolt is drawn suddenly, the platform falls, is caught by two springs in the rear, and the convict is swinging by the neck. The fall is sft. For the amusement of Toole, who was hung a few days ago for kill ing a keeper in the prison where he was a convict, the Sheriff, a few hours previous to the execution, tested the new model, and, as the Herald says, " with a 2001 b. bag of sand. The fall is Sit., and the platform, bag, and all came down with a crash that sufficiently attested the working qualities of the machinery." THE RECENT FIRE AT THE LIVERPOOL WORK- HousE.—At the meeting of the Liverpool select vestry, held yesterday, a long report was read from one of the commit tees, exonerating the authorities of the workhouse from the blame attached to them by the water committee of the corporation in regard to the water supply for the building in case of fire. The report stated that the authorities had done all that Jay in their power to meet the requirements of the case. FORGIVENESS OF INJURIES.—SO an amnesty is granted to Garibaldi. Very good. In England, when Nye have trodden on the toe of a great man, we beg his pardon. In Italy you pardon him when you have shot him in the ankle.—Pu,ch. REFINEMENT OF THE COARSER CLASSES. —We are authorised to state that all candidates for the position of cabman, omnibus conductor, and railway official, ought to t y c h this er , be required to pass an examination in language and man ners, satisfactorily testing their qualifications for employ ment in the Civil Service.—Punch .
