MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. We are officially informed that, in conformity to the provisions of tho Ottoman Loan of 1862, as stated in the prospectus, the following gentlemen have been appointed members of the commission created in Constantinople for attending to the re ceipt of the hypothecated reveruss and the regular transmission to the Bank of England of the re quisite funds for the half yearly interest and sink ing fund, viz.: Messi s. Edward Gilbertson, George Guarracico, and John Stewart. The steamer Hansa brought from New York £27,000 in specie for England. At the meeting of the Scinde Railway Company, convened for the 25th inst., a resolution will be submitted to convert all paid-up shares in the Delhi Railway into stock. A meeting of the shareholders of the Northern Counties Bank took place yesterday at Manchester, when a proposal to amalgamate with the Man chester and Counties Bank wPs unanimously ac ceded to. The shareholders of the latter had pre viously agreed to the same proposition. The news of the safety of the Great Ship has caused a renewed dem-rd for this company's shares. An instalment of 10 per cent. fell due to day upon the Russiaa Loan. The next instalment is due on the 10th November, and it is 15 per cent., less the dividend of 21; per cent. The last draft of 300,000 men by the United States Government appears at first to have given some uneasiness to Mr. Kennard, the engineer in chief of the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad, but the difficulties appear to have been successfully surmounted, so that the opening to Akron will not be retarded. The permanent way is pushing on fast, both on the main line and the oil branch. The works from Corry to Meadville are about com pleted. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The directors of tie Bank of England have held their weekly meeting, and, as expected, have sepa rated without announcing any change in their dis count regulations. Owing to the steady position of monetary affairs the possibility of a movement, either way, now engages but litte attention, and almost everyone seems prepared for undiminished easiness and abundance some time longar. The mercantile classes, consequently, limit their opera tions to immediate requirements, and the banks and discount houses, while negotiating choice paper, as low as 2! per cent., offer proportionate facilities with regard to long dated securities. In the Stock Exchange also capital is ple:tiful, and 1 to 4 per cent. are the current terms for tem porary advances on Canso's, New Threes, Re duced, &c. 12.10 The Delta, which leaves to-morrow with the Bombay mail, will take out £401,870 in specie; of this £381.870 is in silver, and the remainder gold. At the half-yearly meeting to day of the Crystal Palace District Gas Company, a dividend, at the rate of 8 per cent, per annum, was declared on the ordinary shares. The particulars have been announced of a num ber of Portuguese Bonds, amounting together to the sum of £985 600, which have been c incelled.

IN RE KINBI#S. This was an application for release. Mr. Sargood opposed on behalf of the trustees of the Brandon Estate at Walworth, on the ground that the bankrupt had been lessee of some property and refused to give up possession, when the lease expired, and an action in ejectment was brought against him, and the cause was set down as undefended, but, on the case being called on a special application was made to have it placed in the list of defended cases, which, not only caused delay, but put plaintiff to £ll5 for costs. It was not at all likely that the bank rupt could pay the costs, and he (Mr. Sargood) thought it was a case in which the bankrupt should not be released, at all events, until he filed his accouuts and passed his last examination. Be had only been in custody a fortnight, and he immediately filed his petition in this court. His honour said he would order a release. Mr. Buchanan made an application for a day to be named for the last examination and discharge of a bankrupt who bad been in custody for some months, as at the time he had not filed his account. He hat', however, now done so. Mr. Sargood, for the assignees, said ho would consent for a day to be named for last examination, but not for die charge, and an order was made to that effect. APPLICATION FOR RELEASE. In a case in which the bankrupt bad only been in prison for a week, and had been taken in execution on a judgment in an action on a bill of exchange, to which he had pleaded, but did not appear, his Honour refused to grant the release. POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAB HORSE TORTURE —GROSS INHUMANITY.—Janies Oswald, a cabdriver, badge 10.763, was charged at the in.. stance of Mr. Wm. Love, chief officer of the Royal Society fs,r the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with using a horse in a totally unfit state for work. The hnrse was brought to the front of the court for the magistrate's inspection, and created a feeling of disgust in the minds of all who saw it at the conduct of those who had had the inhumanity to work it—its bones were nearly through its skin, it dragged one of its legs behind, having no use in it, and had some bad sores about its body. George Choyce, one of the officers of the Royal Society, proved seeing tha horse drawing a cab in Oxford-street, and observing that it was dragging one of its legs behind it, he examined the poor animal, and finding the state it was in took the prisoner into custody. He had never seen a horse in a worse condition. Prisoner said he had a job to take some ladies somewhere, and therefore used the horse. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 20s. or 14 days, and said if the horse was not destroyed the owner had better be pro• ceeded against. A RETIRED MANOR CHARGED WITH GROSS CRUELTI. Mr. Wm. Drummond Stuart, described as of "no address, gentleman," and who is said to be a retired major, was charged on a warrant obtained by Mr. Wm. Love, of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with having cruelly and wantonly illused a female donkey. Mr Thomas Wakeling, of Clerkenwell, appeared for the Society, and Mr. Sleigh (instructed by Mr. Edward Lewis, of Gleat Marlborough-street) for the defence. Mr. Love was present to watch the case. Mr. Wakeling op‘ , ned the case at some length and called a witness, John Young, potman at Walker's spirits stores, Piccadilly, who deposed to seeing the defendant poke the donkey in a most tender part with a stick. The owner of th© donkey, a man named Roberts, living at Chelsea, was not present, and the witness Young having deposyd to having had money offered him not to attend, Mr. Sleigh addressed the magistrate at some length on the defendant's behalf, stating that he was instructed that what had been done was done under the influence of liquor, and by accident. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should adjourn the case till to morrow, and a sumna3ns would issue for the attendance of the witness Roberts. Mr. Sleigh said he thought as the defendent had ex pressed his sorrow at what had occurred, that if the defen dant put the sum of £lO into the funds of the society— which was one of the most excellent in London—that the matter might end. Mr. Tyrwhitt said such a course could not be acceded to, and the case stands adjourned till to-morrow. Bail was accepted. MARKETS-THIS DAY. MARK LANE.

Sept. 11, 1862. MANCHESTER -3ND LIVERPOOL AGPI- CULTURAL SOCIETY. WARRINGTON, WEDNESDAY. The fifteenth annual show of the above-named society was opened here this morning. Although this year the total entries are some what less than those in 1861, being 1,740 as against 2,150, there is an increase in several of the most important departments. The most interesting part of the show is that of implements and machinery. There are 70 stands of imple ments, and 967 entries. The exhibitors are from Manchester, Liverpool, Warrington, Leeds, Lincoln, Sheffield, Carlisle, Knutsford, Birmingham, Gloucester, Herefordshire, Grantham, and other parts of the country, and there is one ex hibitor from Canada. Steam engines are at work in every part of the field set apart for implements, making bricks, driving circular saws, and setting all kinds of machines in motion. A more complete collection of steam-engines has probably seldom been brought together. The show of horses is unusually good, the tho roughbreds being of fine qudlity. The horned cat tle are below the average in number. The show of poultry is extensive. There is but a scanty exhi bition of roots, vegetables, fruits, and flowers, but there is nothing to complain of on the score of merit. The entries of horned cattle are 73 ; of horses, 119 ; sheep, 92 ; pigs, 63 ; poultry, 138 ; geese, 11; ducks, 27 ; turkeys, 3; cheese, 13 ; butter, 22 ; seeds and roots, 74; saddlery; 4. There are also ninety-nine competitors for special prizes given by the War rington local committee to amateur cottage gar deners and others. There are 27 entries of flowers. The annual dinner of the society was held this afternoon. Colonel PATTEN, M.P., presided. The dinner took place in a large tent on the show ground, accommodating about 400 persons. Lord SICELMERSDACE proposed ` The patrons of the society, the Earl of Derby and Lord Egerton of Tatt on." Lord STANLEY, M.P., who was warmly cheered, responded on behalf of Lord Derby, and added —No man, I think, can look at this country now, and recollect what it was fifteen or twenty years ago, without being able to bear from personal observation his testimony to the value of associa tions such as this. No doubt we have still some thing to loarn and a great deal to do, but no man can now travel in any direction over the country which he remembers some years ago in this neighbourhood without seeing that crooked fences have been levelled, that small fields have been laid together, that morasses have been drained, that weeds are less frequent than before, that land which was formerly unproductive from wet has been brought under drainage into a rich culti vation, and a bo ve a ll that, gradually and slowly, yet steadily, in many departments of agricultural industry hand - labour is being superseded by I .i ha : ments of the class which we have seen in the s ru• yard. (Cheers.) He concluded by expressing ; s ant gret that th ere w as not a larger nnalor e t h e health farmers in the association, and pr o p osing of the chairman.

It was practised in the age of Elizabeth, and with conside rable success. This appears from the following carious extract, which is taken from a contemporary MS. preserved in the State Paper Office. It was penned in the year 1596 by " poor Captain John Yorg, of Gt Lawraunce Powitneislane, in London, near to the owld Swanne," a veteran of 40 y ears , experience in naval affairs. Like too many more of our early mechanical genuses he profited little by his skill, and (to the disgrace of the Queen) still less by his patriotism. The captain was spe c i a lly employed in the memorable summer of 'BB " for the discovery of the Duke of Medina," i.e. to give warn ing to the Government of the approach of the Spanish Armada. He was afterwards associated with another officer of his own rank named Prowse, in disposing the fire-ships which effectually dis persed that magnificent fleet when anchored off Calais—a service for which the poor gentleman was never remunerated, nor even compensated for his " own great ship, worth more than a thousand pounds," which was one of the eight selected for combustion. A very curious document is the inventory of her contents. Yong's paper, or "motion" as he designates it, is addressed to the Earl of Essex. By substituting shields for "frames," and rendering his account in modern English, it then might very well pass for one of those descriptions of experiments in naval architecture, and the resisting of a ship's hull, with which we are now-a-days so frequently favoured by contending engineers : " May it please yor honor to consider of this article following : " If yt maye please yor honor to thinke good of this mocon to the greate strengthening of her Maty navye, as other princes have bin inforeed to doe the like; that is to saie, some of the greatest shippes and some of the others to be put into frames made of straight & smotlae rownde masts, not verge bigg but reasonable; and the frames to be made in this sorts, viz , from the fore parte of the forecastell on the one side, & soe all alongst & rownde abowte the poope alsoe, and aoe all alongst the other side upp to the fore parte of the forecastell also ; and that theare muste bee made rounds holes through the ships side no bigger then thende of the masts will go in, close and straighte to fill the wholes; & the eandes of the masts must be made fast down to the deg or overlops ; but you must remember to place the eandes within boorde, just between yor greate peeve, for hindering of the tranesing of them in the time of seruico, & the longe masts wch must make the frame without boorde, and theye must be made faste to the eandes of them wihowte boord, & fastened with strong plates of Iron made purpose, or ells with bowlts rings & forlocks, within beorde & without alsoe; and yor frames maie be in lengthe without borde 10 or 12 foote longe, or longer or shorter at yor pleasure ; but the King of Denmarke in his ships their frames wear eightene, ffo sre and twentie, & thirtie foot longe with owt borde ; but in my opinion they weare to monsterous longe; but w thin horde thende of your masts maye be as shorte as you shall think good, By this yolleeye two hundredth men shalbe able to hold owte a thowsande men, yea two thowsande men, and alsoe the enemie lying in this great daun ger so near to or greate ordynance, & theye being not able by noe meaner posible to make entrie for the frames, & wee may easilie sincke them or spoile them in shorte time ; & these frames will not hinder the tackling of the shippe, & you may take them of when &on when you thincke good. I have seen the King of Denmarke inforced to doe all this, ar ells the King of Sweathlande woulde not have lefte him not one shippe, & if he had left his navye he hod loste his kingdome alsoe, for the Kinge of Sweath lande his ships weare more in number & bigger, & muche better manmed, with abundance of all war like furniture & municen, & of greatecopperpeeces wch shoote a hondredth weight of osementes• er shot at euery shot ; Sr euery one of his good ships were made of saker shot proof above in their cage works, and bet weene winde & water of cannon shote proof, to keep them from sincking ; and theye had alsoe greate murdering peeces of copper to scowre their fights. Moreuer, the frames foresaide are good to be used especiallye in the narrow seas, yf the great inuincible fleet of the Spaniards doe come again, for the frames will make or navie ten thou sand men stronger then euer they weare before.

In the same paper, Capt. Yong suggests the re vival of " the oulde fashion, in the time of King Henry VIII.," of having " a chaine nettinge of iron" suspended to the sides of the largest men-of war; the adjusting of which he describes at length. He strongly urges its re-adoption in the Royal Navy as a perfect safeguard, both against the fire-. works of the enemy, and their attempts at boarding. * Osemund or Osemuth : i. c., balls made of the best Swedish iron. G.RTAT FIRE NEAR TH NORTH FORE- LAND LIGHTHOUSE. MARGATE, Wednesday:—The most extensive fire that has occurred for many years in the county broke out yesterday afternoon, and as late as eight o'clock to-night was not wholly extinguished. The scene of its operations covered a large superficies, upon which stood sundry ricks of wheat, barns, thrashing houses, stabling, cow-houses, the farm house, and sundry other outbuildings. The premises were probably as large as any in the district, and known as Blackburn's Farm, standing between St. Peter's and Kingsgate, near this town. The discovery was made by one of the farm servants through seeing smoke rolling 11 P from the centre of the homestead. It was then found th•s, a considerable quantity of grain had from some cause b e.. nabcome ignited, and although an instant attempt wa s xn subdue the fimiies,they travelled with the most extrso o r:' filled swiftness, firing in rapid succession two large b u r, agricul- with grain, 7 ricks of corn, the farmhouse, varie t' f flame tural depots, and presented an immense shy t Ramsgate, which could be seen at dark distinctly s on the other and it is said by passengers by the steams that the white Expresses were side of the sea.

She is to be furnished with an armament of 24 3 2 -pounders, each of 50 cwt, on her main deck ;26 8 .inch 65 -cwt. guns on her lower decks; and 2 110-pounder and 8 40-pounder Armstrong guns on her upper deck. In addition to these she will be supplied with two 12-pounder Armstronge, and a fow brass field guns for boat service. ASPROMONTE. The following is a letter from a distinguished officer formerly serving under Garibaldi : Turin, Sept. 6. My dear Friend,—ln the past days my brain oppressed by the fatal news, has not been able to put together two ideas. I arrived here on the 3d in the evening. Along the road the sad catastrophe was announced to me by the telegrams. Here neither the ministers Conforti nor Depretis can tell me the With as to the general's wounds. Alarm ing reports are spread, and I do not like to be their echo and cruelly afflict you. Now I know that the general suffers from the ball that struck the muscle of the right foot, broke the ankle bone, and hid itself amongst the muscles behind the tendon of Achilles. The surgeons are four. Prandino is a friend of mine, a learned man, and a liberal, as much as we are; end he has as sumed the cure, and he assures me there is row nothing dangerous. They hope to extract the ball from its nest when suppuration shall have enlarged the orifice and rendered the lacerated flesh less sen sitive to pain. The hero is as tranquil as his conscience. He desired to make Italy one, by freeing the Romans from their humiliating condition, and by delivering the Venetians from foreign insolence ; and for his brothers and fellow countrymen, and for his king. Most transparent was his design, worthy of him alone, and a most noble enterprise. Never thought be of being a rebel to his king, never thought he of being a fratricide. The truth of Aspromonte is this. At the ap proach of the Bersaglieri to the advanced posts of the volunteers there was no sort of summons. One of our officers went to warn the general. He ran to the spot, when the rascally muskets discharged their projectiles. 'While calling to them to desist he was wounded slightly in the left :side and the left foot, Menotti in one thigh. They surrounded him and made him prisoner. He would not fight. It was the others who had Rattazzi's orders to crush in any way the Titan who prevents the des pot of France from sleeping soundly, and thwarts his pro-consuls here in their mal-administration. These wretches will drag him before the Senate, converted into a high court of justice. They will condemn him legally, in cold blood, in order to be able to say afterwards .—" We have prostrated this giant. He thought himself the first of men, the all-powerful. We call him a trator to his country. We have conquered him. We will get to Rome and Venice when our patron chooses to let us." The King assists at the councils without saying much. He is grieved, they say. He is for amnesty ; but Rattazzi is not at present. The bandit of France so wills it. Conforti and Depretis are also for amnesty for the general and for his followers. They resign —who will take their place ? We shall know them again, the turnspits. In the mean time the government raises to a general the Colonel Pallavicino di Priola and decorates him. And the man accepts it ! What men inhabit the earth, 0 fiend I Menotti, Tercsita, Deideri, Ricciotti are with the illustrious sufferer. The officers taken with him are all sent to Fenestrelle. Yesterday I saw Bixio just come from Spezzia. All are frantic with rage, on my word. Poor Italy ! She must endure to see the most noble of her sons, the honour and glory of humanity lamed by an Italian bullet, sitting on the stool of the wicked, for having too much loved and served her; and the man who has done nothing but harm to Italy, who in years past fraternised with her enemies, crying to the four ends of the earth, " tie is guilty of high treason ;" and these mistakes waxing clement, go, intercede with the King for the pardon of such a criminal ! How will this comedy end ? I, who assisted in " Platea," feel my heart and soul offended and grow better. I imagine your sorrow. In order to get to Spezzia one must ho.vl the permission of the minister of War, and it is difficult to obtain. All letters are sent open to this criminal.—Adieu, &c. TRADE OF PENNSYLVANIA. The annual report transmitted to the Foreign- office in May by the British Consul at Philadelphia, Mr. Kortright, states that the trade and commerce of that city have suffered considerably since the civil war began, but, notwithstanding the general derangement of business, the trade with the interior has been maintained duriag the past year at an unexpectedly high standard, the roads to Philadelphia being crowded to their utmost capacity with agricultural produce and other heavy freight. The main cause of the decline of general trade at Philadelphia, once the first commercial city of the Union, is that its capital has been chiefly directed to manufacturing interests ; it has assumed the rank of the largest manufacturing city in the States. Its population is now at least 600,000, and above 100,000 adults are engaged strictly in manufactures. Taking from its total produc tion every article of consumption, there are goods made and distributed to all parts of the States and of the world to the value of £20,000,000. Pennsylvania pro duces every agricultural crop and cereal grain of the temperate zone. The average product of wheat is pro bably 15 bushels an acre, but on the best farms 50 bushels are a common yield, at about 601 b. per bushel. The State comprises 47,000 square miles, and had a popula tion in 1860 of 2,913,041; Scotland, two-thirds of the size, has a rather larger population. The public debt of the State is 1,15,666,000, the t , tal valuation of real estate and personal property taxable for State purposes w as t 113,810,000 ; last year the tax upon the same was £295,875 and the number of taxables, 642,462. The most noticeable product just now is petroleum. The wild regions from Lake Erie to the Ohio are being made vast fields of industry by the procure' sof this oil. The yield is so great that the refineries are totally inadequate to the calls upon them, and large quantities of the oil are shipped to distant markets both in the States and in Europe in its crude state, but in this condition it is very inflammable and explosive. In the o a i r l e 1: n umerous. In one o f these casualties 1 5 per sons were killed instantly, an d some 13 very severe l y severely wounded. The cost o f th e o i l at t h e we ll s i s a b out x g trernell a halfpenny a gallon; when barrelled, refined, and trans ported, about £2 per barrel of 33 gallons. The process of obtaining the oil is very simple; the explorer digs a well and places a pump in it, and in many instances a steam en gine is erected over it. The deeper the wells are sunk, up to 1,500 feet, the greater the supply of oil. The supply in Oil Creek, the chief field, is stated to be 75,000 barrels a month, but the entire oil districts would doubtless furnish 200,000 barrels a week. The amount shipped from the Federal States in the first quarter of 1862 was 73,282 barrels, of which 15,700 barrels went from Philadelphia. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT THE NEW LAMBETH-. BRIDOE.—This morning an accident occurred at the works at present going on at the new Lambeth• bridge, by which it is feared two lads have met their death. The cause of the accident was the falling of a scaffolding erected underneath one of the arches,, by which unfortunate circumstance a number of workmen were precipitated into the river and c scaffolding vEL L lo before e i t Ron ly rescued after very great exerti on. Th e t wo l a d s miss ing, and who it is feared have b een d rowne d, were l as t se en alive n on E the S.—Under the influence of modern picturesque writers, we look, for the most part, on the men who signed the death-warrant of Charles I. as a set of iron enthusiasts, glorying in what they did, and incapable of resorting to any defence which would admit their conduct to be eriminal. This impression is cor firmed as to some of them by the reports of their trials, but not as to the majority. Gen. Harrison behaved with Ithe most unflinching audacity, avowing and jus tif y i ng all that he had done. Scroop and Carew also behaved with great courage ; but Cook, who had acted as eounsel against the king, resorted to every sort of quibble in his defence, land went so far as to say, " I acted as a counsellor in my own particular for my fee ; it was avaritia, but not onalitta, falso, nor malttiose, nor p oditorie." Hugh Peters, who Ihad preached fanatically violent serm ons a g ainst the king, equivocated, begged for mercy, and quibbled about unim portant details in a very pitiful manner. Axtell also, who commandod the guard during the trial, and, according to the direct testimony of several eye-witnesses, forced his soldiers, by beating them with his cane, to cry out for jus tice and afterwards for execution, denied that he had done so, and declared he struck them to keep them quiet, saying, " I will justice, I will execution you." The differences in the behaviour of these men are evidence that it was only in a few instances that the enthusiasm of the times carried those whom it affected out of the ordinary range of charac ter any feeling. Several of the actors in this the _ro e : a t memorable incident in our history seem to have . thoroughly common-place view of it, and Cook lar argued the whole subject as if he had be .a e l n the Counsel any point of law. The readiness with e struck into on the other side, and the judges on e tt tic.
