MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. Adviccs from Bahia state that the 4th section of the Bahia Railway has been opened for traffic, CORI- Pleting about 50 miles out of the entire length of 77 miles, and that the remaining 27 miles are ex pected to be finished by about the end of the year. With reference to the new Venezuelan Loan, it appears that the committee of the Stock Exchange yesterday,',after deliberation, resolved to adhere to the resolution previously adopted, viz., to defer the appointment of a settling day until the formal rati fication shall have been received by tr. c)ntractors. This is expected to arrive from Venezuela early next month. An instalment of 10 per cent. falls due on the new Russian Loan on the 10th inst. About £117,000 in gold was taken to the Bank to-day. The Scotia, from New York, has brought £120,000 in specie, and the BavarialXB,ooo. The tendency of the foreign exchanges this after noon was again unfavourable to this country, the decline being promoted by the purchases of silver on the continent for transmission to India in pay ment for cotton. There seems to be a considerable want of financial management or foresight at St. Petersburg, since the steamers in connection with that city bring gold hither and carry it back on each trip. The Em peror, which arrived at Hull on Saturday last, had £150,000 on board which was duly transmitted to London, and the party to whom it was given in charge is now actually carrying back to Hull be tween £200,000 and /300,000 to be shipped for the return passage of that steamer to-morrow. If the Government, instead of requiring gold to be sent on account of the instalments on the recent loan, were to draw bills on London, and sell them to the merchants at St. Petersburg, the latter would be saved the trouble and expense of shipping specie in discharge of the claims of their English correspon dents, and both parties would be gainers by the arrangement. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The imports of specie during the week have amounted to £686,000, and the exports to £764,000. The public sales of foreign colonial wool have been brought to a close to-day. During the series 107,000 bales have been offered—the largest quan tity on record. The London directors of the Grand Truk Rail way of Canada have issued a copy of the accounts as they have just been received from Canada for the half-year ending the 30th June, 1862. The total revenue amounted to £382,992 12s. 10d., and the total expenses to £319,556 98.5 d., or at the rate of 83/ per cent. The profits upon this half•year, added to that of the previous six months, Makes the profit for the year ending 30th June, 1862, £159,144 is. 11d. The Money Market closes this week with a very quiet and easy appearance. A little more activity was occasioned by the monthly adjustment of com mercial accounts, but the effect was less importan t than usual, although a considerable quantity of paper arrived at maturity. So abundant were the available supplies that the requirements of the mercantile community were provided for without disturbing the ordinary course of affairs, and the market could scarcely exhibit a more tranquil aspect than it does at the present moment. The extraordinary low minimum now prevailing at the Bank of England will not admit of much greater facilities being offered elsewhere, but the Joint Stock Banks and private discount establishments anxious to employ their available balances are negotiating choice bills at 11 per cent., and they are thus enabled to secure a good deal of business that might otherwise be taken in Threadneedle-street. Two O'CLOCK. Only a small amount of business has been nego tiated in the English Stock Market to-day. At one time, however, a few buyers came forward, and their operations led to a temporary improve ment, Consols then being 031 K for money, and 93 for the account. Since then, how ever, a little flatness has prevailed, and the latest prices:are 93t- and 931 a- respectively. Numerous transactions have taken place in the Foreign Market. Italian 5 per Cents. have re mained steady at 70& s. The Egyptian Loan is marked 011, being a little firmer. Mexican have also tended upwards, the official prices being 301 The Peruvian Loan has been sup ported at 6 discount to par, and there has been no change in the Portuguese or Venezu elan loans. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, have con tinued at 85 86 ; those of 1858 have been dealt in at 67 671; the Scrip of the New Loan has been 11 1 dis. ; and the paid up portion, 66 661. A farther slight improvement has taken place in Spanish Passive, the quotations being 191 I. In the Railway Share Market the operations have been very restricted, prices, however, have shown rather more firmness. Caledonians, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North - Westerns, and North Eastern (Berwick) have improved Sc.; Great Northern A Stock, 103.; and Midlands, 15s. The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained without any material change in values. 2 Sou 2 t i h .

SURREY. —THE HOPPING SEASON. —Daring the past week we have had first-rate weather for the hops. The Farnham hops this year, we understand, are very good, and those growing in the neighbourhood are also spoken of as being in fine condition and very large. It is estimated that the crop will yield, on the average, between 7cwt. and Bcwt. to the acre. In the parish of Farnham there are a great many acres cultivated, and large numbers of " hoppers," comprising gipsies and poor people out of employment, are beginning to flock into the town, ready for "picking," which will be pretty general next week. The newly esta blished hop fair at Farnham will be held in the early part of October. The receipts on the Ger man railways are gene rally increasing. On the Magdeburg and Halberstadt line, the dividend for the last year amounted to 22i per cent.; an that of the Magdeburg and Leipsi c line, 17 per cent. ; a nd that of the L e ipsic and Dresden line, 151 per cent.o dividendOn the other hand, eight German railways ha ve given n at all. The s e l a tt er are local and short branch lines. INTERNATIONAL EXIIIBITION.—The visitors yes terday w ere —By seaso n tickets, 5,086 ;by pa y m ent (half a-crown), 15,514—t0ta1, 20,600.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1862. I LAW-THIS DAY Business don c SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Joyce.) 017E1017S CASE or ADVERTISING FOP. A PARTNER-SALTER V. WOOD. This was an action to recover £25 for obtaining defen dant a partner, or a person willing to advance £5OO, Mr. Buchanan, for the plaintiffs, said his clients were proprietors of a monthly circular, and it came to their knowledge that defendant wanted a partner with capital, or a person who would advance £5OO. Plaintiffs commu nicated with a Mr. Freeman, oF. Manchester, who having entered into a negociation with defendant, said the concern would not stilt him, but Freeman subsequently mentioned the matter to a Mr. Fibbs,' who advanced the money. Under these circumstances plaintiffs considered themselves entitled to the usual commission, they being in fact the real causes of the introduction to Fibbs. After hearing plaintiffs' evidence, Mr. Way, for the defendant, urged:that plaintiffs could not recover, as they had done nothing whatever as regarded Fibbs. Mr. Freeman, it was said, had mentioned the sub ject to Fibbs, but plaintiffs surety could not claim for that. His Honour ruled that as it was through the plaintiffs instrumentality that Fibbs was really introduced, that is to say, in consequence of the subject matter having been men tioned by Freeman, who had originally been in negotiation through plaintiffs means, plaintiffs were entitled to their commission. Verdict for plaintiffs, with costs. IMPORTANT TO LANDLORDS.-SCARD V. MARSH. This was an action to recover one quarter's rent, Mr. Buchanan, for defendant, put in receipts (one of which was for a quarter's rent), and contended that as plaintiff had been paid beforehand surely he could not re cover, but in looking at the receipt it was discovered that the money was to remain in hand, and his Honour ruled that although there might not be any mention in the agree ment of the money to remain in hand, yet plaintiff and defendant could make a bargain about it independently of the agreement; therefore plaintiff will have a verdict with costs, POLICE-TRIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PROVIDING A SUNDAY'S DINNER.—Ann Kemp, a dissipated• looking woman, was charged with stealing a piece of beef from the shop of Mr. Wm. Jeffery, butcher, Foubert's-place, about 10 o'clock this morning. Charles Bush, assistant to Mr. Jeffery, said the prisoner went up to the marble slab in front of the shop, took up the piece of beef, placed it under her shawl, and was walking off, when he went up to her and told her that she had better put the meat back, or give it up to him. She denied having it, and he then gave her into custody. Wm. Boden, messenger of the court, said while standing at the door of the court the last witness spoke to him, and on moving the prisoner's shawl on one side he saw the meat under her arm. He then gave the prisoner, wheniade no remark, ovar to 66 C. Prisoner said distress had caused her to do it. Mr. Mansfield, who sat for Mr. Tyrwhitt, said distress would not cause her to steal a piece of meat like that before him. If she had stolen a penny roll there might then have appeared some probability in the story. If she was in dis tress she should have gone to the parish. It was much more likely that she , took it for the purpose of getting drink. He should commit her for three months with hard labour. - THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAYLT.—OIiver Benson, a German sea man, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with commit ting a savage assault on Frances Herbert, a woman of the town, who is now under medical treatment in the London Hospital, and in a very precarious condition. Grunfield, a police-constable of the K division, said—l was on duty in High-street, Shadwell, this morning at an early hour, and heard cries of murder and police proceed ing from the house No. 3, Brewer -street. I went there, and found a woman named Herbert bleeding profusely from wounds on the head. She said the prisoner had beaten her with a sling-shot, which he did not deny, and said elle wanted to rob him. The prisoner--I did not hit her with a sling-shot; it was with mine fist. Mr. Selfe—You could not have inflicted the wounds on her head as described in the medical certificate, with your fist. Grunfield produced the sling shot, a most dangerous weapon, and capable of inflicting most serious, if not fatal, wounds, These deadly instruments, composed of closely twisted white cord, and loaded at one of the ends, with lead, are carried by many ruffians and foreigners, and their use has lately become a nuisance. The policeman said he found the "sling shot " near the door of the room in which the affray took place. The prisoner, in defence, said he came hero in a Bremen ship and that the woman Herbert after inveipl;,, • U u► m, LULU s?ruck him, and he struck her again. Mr. Selfe—With that sling shot. You are remanded for a week. AN IMPUDENT THIEF..Sarah Humbly, aged 22, who gave her address No. 6, Elizabeth-terrace, Commercial road, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a mohair dress from the shop of Mr. Charles Misslebrook, draper, of No. 9, Crisp-street, Poplar, and also with steal ing a coat, the property of some person unknown. George Brooks, assistant to the prosecutor, stated that he saw the prisoner take a mohair dress, measuring 9 yards, from the door of his master's shop, and give it to her brother, who ran away with the property. Mr. Selfe—How do you know it was her brother ? Witness—The prisoner said the youth who was with her was her brother, He would not wait for a policeman. (A laugh.) Mr. Selfe—l should think not. Witness—And he would not let me catch him. (Laughter.) Mr. Selfe—He was too swift for you. Henry Pitus, a police-constable, No. 185 K, said, the prisoner was given into custody, and he found a new coat upon her. She refused to say whero she obtained it or to whom it belonged. Mr. Selfe asked the prisoner if she had any defence to make. She made no answer, and the magistrate directed the police-constable who had charge of the case to make inquiries after the lad called her brother, and obtain an owner for the coat, if possible. SOUTHWARK. LEVYING BLACK MAIL ON OMNIBUS PASSENGERS.— Caroline Ward and Mary Marshall, two fashionably dressed women, were brought up for final examination, charged with stealing a purse containing £l6 from a female named Martha Mason, on the 25th of April, while they were travelling in a Kingsland omnibus. a n Th e M ce io r a n , p . we nt a at t uso tllus Subse quently of t 0-e fa mi ly r E o a l d e dctn.laytaElpdohnrmsfdatodhhwtasLeeanwsi London -bridge, oevd t oo i nhw r to u i ontxanghs.i: attendednb'eevaartsdeoiiyddda ohyoe umadee onnreifgsns hetot itywhme o hi e n fdoesnmeelriN b nrboa e veubhen h aeswbn a ontrefhe at t snhsa t htp h g er e ce p ta a r t b i s l c o e n ea e ap r r p e n . ee as rs ery r tgrastd C o e u a na c ee s t t d,n i e . tle with a view of returnin g h ome , an d a t th e t i me h a d a se p ci u rc t um w st i a th ne X e l d 6 id inthe not ex p egi o t c , ke e t r o s f us h p e i r Hei des o r na s t .

It further appeared that they were taken into custody by police- constable 482 A, and were searched at the station, but without the property being found on them. The following day they were brought before the sitting magis trate, who remanded them for a week, but consented to accept bail on two persons offering to become sureties for their appearance. The day of trial arrived, but not the prisoners, who were non est, and hal contrived to elude the vigilance of the police until Tuesday last, when they were apprehended. In the interim the bail had been taken into custodh an of thedsentenamceoduntot of their amonth's security. Mr. in default of payment Mr. Edwin contended that the evidence did not justify a conviction, particularly after the length of time that elapsed I since the commission of the alleged offence. Mr. Combe was of a different opinion, as he considered that it was a clear case, and unless they pleaded guilty he would commit them for trial. After some conversation with their professional adviser, both prisoners pleaded guilty, and were severally sentenced to six months' hard labour. SHOCKING DISCOVERY.--Early on Wednesday morning the trunk of a man was ilscovered in the " grin" and the head on the other side of the rail of the down line of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway on Esmont viaduct, Yanworth, near Penrith. The arms of the deceased were folded, and his body lay in such a position as to favour the conclusion that death by decapitation was premeditated, and was not an accident.. The body wa3 coiveyed to the Ouasstaeadmistake in signalling a lo'und necessary to dismiss him.

Yesterday another scientific balloon ascent was made from Wolverhampton by Mr, Glaisher, the balloon being under the guidance of Mr. Coxwell, as before. The day was very capricious, being now fine and then again lower ing, until finally, at the time of ascent, an afternoon's rain seemed inevitable. The cords were loosed exactly at one o'clock, and the balloon coasted off in a south-westerly direction. The balloon, as on previous occasions, was not quite filled, on account of the expanding effects of the at mosphere at two or three miles altitude. It contained 60,000 feet of excellent gas, prepared under the able superinten dence of Mr. Proud, engineer to the gas works. Some pigeons were on this occasion allowed to accompany the expedition. In addition to the instrument previously taken, Mr. Glaisher took with him a camera, in order, if possible, to take photographs of the different phases of the clouds. He also took a newly-invented barometer, for the purpose of securing more correct observations of the state of the atmosphere than was previously pos , Bible. These observations have formerly been taken by Gay Lussac's syphon barometer and an aneroid, but, as the correctness of the readings of the syphon barometer mainly depend upon having a perfectly calibred tube, and as the large size of the general barometer tube rendered perfect calibration impossible, or at least very difficult, Messrs. Negretti and Zambra have constructed a barometer expressly for the purpese of checking the obser vations which have been made in order to test their cor rectness. With this view a good tube was selected, six feet in length, and the mercury boiled through the whole of that length. A cistern was then blown on its lower extremity, and a stopcock added, by which means the mercury was allowed to decrease inch by inch from the tube into the cistern, and the rise which took place in the cistern was subsequently accounted for in dividing the scale, the upper part of the tube was used to construct the baromoter, and by this instrument a direct reading is obtained without any corrections being necessary for the displacement of the mercury in the cistern down to eight inches. The differ ence, if any be found, will be due to the inequality of its tube. We may mention that, among others, Lord Wrot tesly was present at the ascent. Mr. Glaisher has landed near Ludlow. Altitude attained, six miles ; temperature, minus, 5; very dry ; satisfactory. DIPO.RTATIONS OF FOREIGN WHEAT AND FLOUR. The particulars of our importations of foreign wheat and flour from the beginning of the year to the end of July afford proof that up to the period of the commencement of the harvest the supplies were on an ample scale. The total of wheat landed at the various ports of the United Kingdom during the seven months was 4,513,821 qrs., showing an excess of about 3- per cent. over the extraordinary importations of the corresponding period of last year, and of more than 137 per cents over those of the same months of 1860. Since the end of July the arrivals from America have continued to be of remarkable magnitude, and it may therefore be assumed that if the anticipations of deficiency in the home crop this year should be realised we shall be found, to a fair extent, prepared. The variations in the sources of supply this year have thus far not been great, the United States, Germany, and Russia having each contributed very nearly the same per centage as from January to July, 1861. The chief alteration is in the quantity from Egypt, which continues steadily to increase. Subjoined is a state ment shpwing the relative percentage from each country : ihrPORTATIONS OF 'WHEAT DURING TIIE SEVEN MONTIS ENDED JULY 31, 1860. 1861. 1862. Qrs. Qrs. Qrs.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press was I on board a vessel in which 210 Fort Warren prisoners went south, to be exchanged for Fede rals, prisoners of war. " The privates in this batch," he writes, were chiefly educated men, and associated on terms of entire equality with their officers, occupying the same cabin and the same deck. Not wishing to infringe the rules with re gard to prisoners, I did not talk with these men, but was addressed by a few colonels, whose genuine courtesy enhanced my regret at their being ene mies, and in so senseless a cause. All spoke of the war as likely to last long, and scouted the idea of the Union being again consolidated. They inspected silently and with great interest the different gun boats that we passed, and more especially the Moni tor end Galena. Each new feature on shore, as they supposed themselves within their own lines, was engerly scanned. On the first view of negroes, one cried out,' Here are some intelligent contra bands !" A general laugh then ensued at this fre quent term used by Northern papers. Presently the sight offered itself of negro women, whom they knew to be slaves, and their gratulations were lively. The old South was really reached at last. On they came from their distant houses, trooping to the landing, and were received with waving of handkerchiefs and screeches of delight. Generals vied with their subordinates in these demonstra tions, to which the negro women heartily re ponded. Dera's our folks ; glad to see you massas I' 'Dey'r waiting for you up dar,' were severally heard among their shouts of welcome ; and one old woman, who led the rest, was pro found in her courtesies and gesticulations. Did you see her throw her arms up and then fold them on her breast, hey ?' said a delighted colonel ; G—d d—n her old heart !' Similar novel manifestations of sentiment were expressed on other occasions of that kind that offered themselves ; but on a first sight of Secesh white women enthusiasm became boundless. They were ladies in the house of Mr. Aiken. They flung open the blinds and waved their handkerchiefs with a will. No cheer were given in return, but screech followed upon screech, and yell upon yell. Many danced. Sweet as peaches ! I know they're pretty,' said an excited youth. ' Bless 'em, God bless 'em 1' said another, I'd wave 'em my handkerchief, if it were not so dirty,' said a third ; but never mind, I'll give 'em my hat ;' and again hats were waved and cries re i I viewed. S o on the landing was attained, and j descended to go on shore." --- .., EMBARKATION OF THE PRINCE OF IV ALES.— WooLwicit, Sept. s.—The Osborne, Admira lty steam yacht, Master-Commander Power. ha ving co aled at the Dockyard, proceeded to the Arsenal this afternoon, and moored off the pier, under orders to e mbark his Royal Highness the Prilice of - Wales and suite to-morrow for th e continent.

STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Sept. 5 . --The market for yarns has been remarkably firm, without the least giving way in prices. Some spinners are asking even higher prices than on Tuesday. This is more particularly the case for home trade yarns, which are dearer by ld, to 2d. per lb., and cheap lots offering have been taken rather eagerly. For cloth the market has been exceedingly fiat. The much quieter state of the Liverpool cotton-market for a few days past has reacted upon this, and yes terday speculators were generally rather inclined to sell at a slight decline of prices. There were scme exceptions to this feeling, so far as price was concerned, but there was very little disposition to purchase. This morning the feeling of distrust vvaa increased by a telegram frcm Liverpool, posted on our Exchange, which said, " At a meeting of cotton brokers, just held, a proposition to take stock was negatived by 24 to 15." The report caused a little uneasiness for some hours among heavy holders of cloth on speculation, and offers were made to sell at is. to 2s. per piece decline. The alarm, however, was hardly general, and the market recovered this afternoon. As a rule, buyers do not appear anxious to sell this evening, and buyers are rather cautious. The real transactions of to-day have been on a very limited scale. What has been done has mostly been for speculation, and we hear of little or nothing doing in the shape of orders to make. Manufacturers do not care to name prices for goods in the loom, but prefer to wait till they are ready for market, and take their chance of the prices then ruling. NEWPORT, 4th.—The coal trade of this district is now btginning to show signs of increased anima tion, and the coal ports evince an activity which has not been witnessed for some time. The favourable operations of the French treaty have caused a large increase of coal shipments to France and Italy ; Spain, Portugal, and Austrian Italy are also im portant customers. There is no real advance in prices as yet, but the demand is steadier and in creasing, and present quotations are firmly adhered to. House coal, free on board, is quoted at Bs. 6d. to 9s. 6d. per ton, and steam coal, 7s. 6d. to Ss. 6d. The general opinion prevails that with the steady demand which has set in, and the advent of winter, many weeks will not elapse before a substantial ad vance will take place. If these expectations should be realised, and there is every reason to think that they will, the coalmasters may look forward to the future with a considerable degree of confidence. As to the iron trade, the advance which has already taken place has imparted quite a new life through out Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire. The works are going better, and several of the ironmasters are making preparations for more extended operations, which proves that there is no lack of confidence as regards the coming months. Rails are firm, at from £5 10s. to £5 15s. at the works, and merchant bars £5 ss. to £5 7s. 6d., which. shows an advance of from 8 to 12 per cent. within the last four months. The importance of this advance is increased by the fact that the coal trade benefits greatly by it, and if another like improvement took place, which would bring iron to from £6 to £6 10s., the district ge nerally would soon be in an active state. Present indications tend to the conclusion that this result may be confidently looked for, and the distress pre vailing in Lancashire would then be considerably mitigated by the increased employment in the mineral districts.

In most descriptions a fair business is doing at the annexed rates : MISERABLE DEA7H OF AN ECCENTRIC GENTLEMAN OF PROPERTY. An inquiry was held by Mr. John Humphreys, one of the Middlesex coroners, at the York Minster Tavern, Philpot-street, Mile end, late on Thursday night, respecting the death of Mr. Wm. Wollaston, aged 53, a gentleman of independent property, who expired on Sunday last under the following melancholy circumstances:— Mrs. S. Wollaston, the stepmother of deceased, deposed that some years ago he had been left a con siderable property by his uncle, but instead of living affluently, he took lodgings in the East-end, and denied himself all comforts. He never, however, actually went without food. A few months back an abscess formed on his face, and began to eat into his cheek in a frightful manner ; but though witness earnestly entreated him to allow a doctor to be called in to attend him, he positively refused, saying— " That no doctor should ever touch a penny of his money." Latterly he suffered dreadfully. He used to lie on the floor without any bed under him, merelyresting his head on a pillow. His landlady saw him sufferin g so muc h th a t s h e b oug ht a b o ttl e of medicine and gave it to him. It made him much easier, and she t r i e d to i nduce h i m to have a doctor, but without success. Last Sunday evening she took him in a cup of t ea , wh i ch she was in the act of giving ght fell m whenl on to th his sfa e floor, cebe andca became she could run fur a doctor. hcovered died b efo with r blood whiche Dr, Henry s aid deceased died from hemorrhage caused by an abscess eating into an artery.

In the inland and seaport t owns also the demand for first dos servants is very considerable, and I have little doubt but that a supply of the kind mentioned, not to exceed, say 100 monthly, would be readily absorbed for some time to come. No decrease has taken place in wages since the date of the last report. Agricultural labourers with few children and those without, especially the latter, and single men, are in request, and there is every prospect of the demand in creasing when the lines of railway connecting the towns of the interior with the metropolis are completed. The high rates of wages still demanded by mechanics deter many colonists from investing capital in buildings and improve ments ; but it is to be hoped that in the course of a short time this drawback, which is generally experienced in a young colony, will be removed, and that the prospect which Victoria holds out to the industrious person will speedily bring to our shores a healthy stream of emigration. Mr. Tyler's predecessor in office, Mr. Pinnock, in his report observes, 44 No demand whatever exi s t s for the superior class of emigrants, such as clerks, shopmen, &c., and the same remark applies to the corresponding class of women, such as governesses, milliners, &c. I would strongly dis suade such from coming hither, unless they may have been invited to join their friends already settled here." Mr. Tyler fully concurs with Mr. Pinnock as to the inadvisa bility of persons of th 3 classes mentioned emigrating to the colony of Victoria, excoptiug under the circumstances fiNcited, FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST Erzwrivg.
