MONEY MARKET. CITY N EWS-YESTERDAY. Messrs. Rothsr.thild have given notice that the bonds for the pe.id-up scrip of the Itusiian loan are ready for delivc.ry, as regards the scrip on which the dividend due on the Ist of November has not been received, and that those for the remainder will be ready on Thursday. Arrangements have this day been completed for the union of the Bank of Canada (which was pro jected in October last with a capital of £1,000,000) With the London and Colonial Bank ',"which was pro jected in September, with a capital of £500,000), and the following members from the Bank of Canada are to join the Board of the London and Colonial : Sir Edmund W. Head, K.C.8., Mr. Frederick Doultan, M.P., Mr. Thomas H. Glad stone, and Mr. Albert Pelly. The bar silver brought by the West India steamer about tan days since has to-day been disposed of at 611 d. per oz., showing a decline of id. from the previous price. There will be £300,000 of the Guaranteed Bonds of the Canadian Government to be paid off on the Ist of January next at the Bank of England. Another new undertaking connected with the Cape, of a promising character, and aiming at use ful objects, is announced, under the title of the South African Irrigation and Investment Company (Limited). The operations proposed are threefold, namely, those of a land and irrigation company, a company to construct public works of improvement in towns, and a trust, loan, and investment com pany. Reasons are a ss i gne d showing that t h e C a p e colonies present a very favourable field for transac tions under each of these heads. The company will raise money on debentures in England, and re-in vest it on first mortgages in the colonies. We no tice the highly satisfactory assurance in the pro spectus that " such provision has been made by the directors for the preliminary expenses as will secure the company against paying any sum whatever in the nature of promotion money, and the articles of association will contain a clause giving the share holders the power to fix, year by year, the amount of the directors' remuneration." The direction is highly respectable, and composed for the most part of mercantile names actually engaged in the Cape tr ade. The capital is fired at £1,000,000, in 20,00 u shares of £5O each, of which the first issue will con sist of 10,000 shares. A call of ss. is to be paid on the shares in the India Freehold Land, Colonisation, Trust, and A gency Association by the 17th December. The first ordinary general meeting, of this company is ,eanl''ened for the 19th December. CITY NEWS---THIS CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The supply of commercial bills on offer continues Very moderate, and the market remains without the slightest change. Gold is now about 2-10ths cheaper in London than in Paris, but it is about 2-10ths higher here tu s ial l in Hamburg. There now seems to be a prospect of a diminution I n the exports of specie, the demand for silver on t( astern account having fallen off, while the upward tendency of the continental exchanges will most likely be followed by a reduction in the consign- Monts of gold. An extraordinary meeting of the Atlantic Tele graph Company is called for the 12th proximo for the purpose of receiving the directors' report, and of considering a proposition for the issueof £600,000 new capital, in preferential shares of Lo each. The traffic receipts on the Bengal division of the East Indian Railway for the week ending the 7th September, amounted to .£6.287, against £5,924 last year. On the North West Provinces Division the returns were £2,112, while in the correspond ing period of 1861 they were £2,806. Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool cotton market to day was steady, and sales about 4,000 bales. The Three per Cent. Rentes, 70f. 30c. The Engli s h S tock Market opened this morn i ng wit h further indications of buoyancy, and several purchases took place on speculation, as well as for ?vestment. There appears to be a more confident feeling in consequence of the prospect of diminished exports of gold and silver, and the operators are, ," e quently, encouraged to extend their transac- Lion s aOr arise. The public are also investing nu th ore freely than of late, as usual, at this period of Year, owing to the accruing dividend.

THE ROYAL GARDENS AND COVENT -GARDEN MARRED-- This was an action to recover £lll6s. for fruit and vege tables, plaintiff renting one of the Royal Gardens, and defendant being a fruiterer of Covent -garden. Market. Mr. Binns, for the plaintiff, said that his client rented one of the Royal Gardens at Hampton-Court, and ho had sold at the regular market price a quantity of fruit and vegetables to defendant. _ Plaintiff said that defendant agreed to take a quantity of peaches, tomatoes, and lettuces, and to send the money the following week. The learned Secondary —I see here are some custard mar rows. (Laughter.) Plaintiff—Oh, yes I and there was some endive. The price I charged defendant was less than the regular market price, and I sent an account with the goods. I complained to defendant of not being paid, as I was answerable to my noble employer. He promised to pay me in two months. Cross -examined—He said he was very much distressed, and I told him I did not wish to distress any man, but I was answerable to tho Marquis of St. Albans for the produce. A witness contradicted Mr. Kidd as to the promise to pay in two months. Mr. Wright, for defendant, said , lis client was only a salesman in the market, and he had - sold these things on commission, getting the best possible market price for them. Defendant had offered to pay that which the goods had fetched. Of course the Royal Gardens are situated in an aristocratic neighbourhood, but plaintiff could not ex pect to get the same price at Covent-garden Market, as the produce would fetch with the nobility and gentry at Hampton Court. Defendant was called, and said that he only bought on commission, and it was only the great people who bought out and out. The goods were rubbish. Cross-examined—H e had no right to make any charge, but to wait till I had sold the things. I never promised to pay in two months. A witness said that tomatoes were all over when plaintiff sent his to the market. (Laughter.) The learned Secondary said it was for the jury to say whether the goods were absolutely sold, or merely sent en commission, and the jury found for the plaintiff for £4lss, the sum the goods fetched by commission. Subsequently the learned Secondary pointed out the law, and the jury found for defendant. CRIMINAL COURT-THIS DAY. OLD COVRT. THE CHARGE AGAINST MR. WHITEHURST. The grand jury have returned a true bill on each of the four counts against Mr. Whitehurst. The trial will, therefore, in accordance with previous ar rangements, take place in the Court of Queen's Bonch. A POLICEMAN STABBED AT THE, LYCEUM THEATRE. ALLEGED MURDER, Henry King was indicted for the wilful murder of Ann Day, in Tower-street, Lambeth. At Bow-street Police-court this day Francis Bartlett Graham, gentleman, of Pembridge-gardens, Bayswater, was placed at Ilia bar, charged with stabbing Police-con stable George Brown, 566 A, in the pit of the Lyceum Theatre last night. Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, attended on the part of the prisoner. Mr. John Wakeling, 16, Arundel place, Haymarket, publican, said—l was in the pit of the Lyceum Theatre with my wife and some friends. I observed particularly the prisoner incessantly walking in and out the house which occasioned a great disturbance in consequence of the noise from his boots. He did not sit down for five minutes together. He was asked to be seated, but he declined, and continued his annoyance. Sometimes he went out of one door, sometimes the other. The people said what a pity the police were not in attendance. I then noticed a policeman in uniform, when the prisoner walked round to where he was standing, and I saw the officer fall to the ground. I said to my friends, " Good God, he has knocked the officer down," and I then scrambled over the benches to the constable's assistance, who had by that time got up from the ground. I did not then observe the pri soner had a knife in his hand. Some persons near me said, " Mind yourself; he has got a knife in his hand." I went forward, and taking hold of his hand, wrenched the knife from his grasp. I saw the man that was stabbed. I did not observe the knife before. I saw the blood stream ing from the officer's face. There was a wound in the centre of the forehead, one over the eye, another about the head. The knife produced I believe to be the instrument I saw in the hand of the prisoner. By Mr. Lewis—The prisoner appeared to be in a very excited state of mind. He also appeared to be walking in and out of the house without the slightest object. There was not the least provocation for the blows. I don't be lieve the policeman spoke to him at all; By the Magistrate—The constable came to the station house before I left. He was covered with blood. On taking off his coat there was a great deal of blood about his shirt, and it was thought he had been stabbed in the side. The constable was immediately taken to the hospital. Inspector West said—l was on duty at the station when 'lhe death of deceased, it will be recollected, was caused by wounds from a chisel and screw-driver it was alleged the prisoner had wilfully used, The case has. already he& gully reported in The Sun. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, NEW COURT. •0 • (Before Baron Bramwell. THE GIatOTTE ROBBERIES. George Roberts ttnd James A:zideeson Were indicted for highway robbery with violence - . . the prisoner was brought in. The constable came in al most immediately after. He was able to state the charge in prisoner's presence. He (the constable) said—" From what I had heard from the bystanders that the prisoner had a knife in his hand I gradually went towards him. Before reaching him he (the prisoner) rushed at ma and stabbed me." I (witness) asked him with what ? and he replied, "A knife," and he then handed me the knife I now pro duce. I observed blood on the prisoner's right hand, and he appeared altogether in a very excited state. I saw two or three wounds on the policeman's forehead and one on the right side. Mr. Henry—Was he bleeding from that ? Witness—Yes, your worship, very much. I instantly sent for Dr. Paynter, and after that the wounded man was taken to King's College Hospital, It appeared on the 23d-of September, at about nix o'clock, the prosecutor was passing along Bloomsbury -street when he was suddenly attacked by the prisoners. One of them shoved agaiust him, and the other knocked him down by striking him a tremendous blow on the mouth, which knocked out one of his teeth, He was rendered insensible from the effects of the blow, and on recovering himself he found his watch had been stolen. A gentleman named Web ster distinctly identified both prisoners, and a lad named Anderson pursued Anderson for some distar ce through the back streets between Oxford-street and Holborn, and Anderson becoming aware that the lad was following, turned round and confronted him, when an altercation be tween them soon attracted a crowd. A police-constable came up, but the boy left without explaining why he had followed Anderson. The robbery shortly afterwards be came known, and the police at once arrested the prisoners, with whom they had long been familiar from the many times they had been convicted, they also being strongly suspected of being the parties who com m itt e d t h e garrotte robbery upon Mr. Pilkington, M.P., i n W a t er l oo - p l ace. A few days after that outrage they were committed ;to prison on a charge of loitering in the streets for a felonious purpose, and during the period of their imprisonment no mote garotte robberies were com mitted in the neighbourhood. Immediately upon their liberation street outrages again became rife. On the day after the robbery Sergeant Holmes met the prisoners in Endell• street; both attempted to avoid him, and for want of assistance he was unable to apprehend the two. Roberts escaped, but he captured Anderson, and immediately after wards information was forwarded to Sergeant Gordon, who had Rogers in custody, and in a few days after he was taken into custody in the Tottenham -court-road. On their way to the station Rogers suddenly released himself by making a desperate effort, springing away from the officer and leaving a portion of his coat in his possession. As he was struggling to get away Roberts violently assaulted the officer, and with such fury that for some time he was incapacitated from following in pursuit. When Roberts assaulted the officer, he said, "You --, you want to have me for putting the mug on him, I'll put the mug on you" (putting on the mug being the slang term for garroting). A desperate struggle ensued, when the officer again came up with him, and the result was, after the greatest difficulty, the prisoner was captured. The jury found both prisoners guilty. Baron Bramwell postponed passing sentence until some of the other prisoners charged with the same offence had been tried. CAPTURE OF ANOTHER DESPERATE THIEF—DARING ROBBERY IN A DWELLING-HOUSE. —George Pybus, a determined-looking fellow, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with being concerned with another man in entering the house of Mr James Crocker, contractor for the removal of goods, at 20, Clipstone-street, and stealing a clock and a timepiece of the value of £6. _ . Mr. Henry—Did the prisoner make any answer to the charge ? Witness—No, your worship, he merely played with his whiskers. When I saw the officer stripped at the hospital I saw there were two other wounds on the left side. Mr. Henry—Do you imagine the prisoner's excitement arose, roue , itneiri—No, your worship, He was quite sober. - 111 . f."LeWis—From hia state of miridyou.thought it neces siti'Y'for'a pollEemair taivaleli, him all • r- !:1 • 'Witt eaW—Yel3, I did. 2 ", r;:,„„ • Dr. :Poynter; 0 Bridges-stretit, - eirld--I*O r t Ogled to 'the station, in Zow.:street, :about &att./NM nineliiit eVehili4 , .

As it is the man is likely to recover. Mr. Lewis—You have examined the prisoner this morn ing relative to the state of his mind ? WitnEss—Yes ; and from the short conversation I have had with him I have come to the conclusion that he is insane. Mr. Lewis—The prisoner had been under the care of Dr. Winslow, and it was thought that recreation and amuse ment might consolidate his cure. Unfortunately he had been allowed to go out alone, and that had led to the unfor tunate occurrence. I wish to ask whether you, sir, will admit him to bail, as he then could be placed under proper medical treatment, and appear at the next examination in a better state of mind. Mr. Henry—l cannot do that, as the charge may assume a more serious character. Mr. Lewis—He will in the interim be placed under the best medical advice. Dr. Winslow is in attendance; but I don't purpose to examine that gentleman without bail is refused. Mr. Henry—l think it better for the prisoner that he should remain in the custody of the police ; ultimately he will be sent for trial. Dr. Forbes Winslow can tell us now the state of the prisoner's mind when he saw him. Mr. Lewis—That being the case, I will call that gen tleman. Dr. Forbes Winslow said—l reside at 23, Cavendish square. I know the prisoner. I was called in by his family some weeks ago to examine the state of the prisoner. I am of opinion he is insane. Mr. Lewis—But not incurably so, I hope? Dr. Winslow—l hope not. I did not advise that he should go out alone. The prisoner was not bona fide under my charge, and I gave no opinion as to whether it was ad visable for him to go out alone. I was not consulted on that point at all, and I wish to state that distinctly. If it goes forth that he has been under my care, and that I had declared him insane, it might be thought, perhaps, that a degree of responsibility res' s on me for allowing him to go out alone. That was not my advice. Mr. Henry—Mr. Lewis then has sfated rather too much. Prisoner—ls my evidence requested F Mr. Henry—You have a solicitor, and you had better leave your case in his hands. Prisoner—Perhaps, sir, you will request my evidence at the proper moment. The prisoner was then remanded. The principal wit- Leases were bound over to appear at the trial. MARKETS -THIS DAY. MARK-LANE. The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was small, and the trade ruled firm at fully Monday's currency. The imports of foreign wheat have fallen off, and in most descriptions a steady business has been transacted at full quotations. Mr. Crocker having identified the articles as his property, Mrs. Susan Crocker, wife of the prosecutor, said that on the previous afternoon about 6 o'clock, bearing a noise in one of the parlours, she went upstairs, and, the door being shut, said, " Who is there ? " A voice inside said, "0 h, it's only me," and the prisoner then came out with the clock under his arm, immediately followed by another man with a timepiece in his hand. She at once seized the prisoner, but the other man, after throwing away the timepiece, managed to escape. John Bashforth, 148,E, said, hearing the cry of " Police" and " Stop thief," he ran to the corner of Foley-street, when he saw the prisoner being held by a French gentle man and others. lie took the prisoner into custody, when some of the bystanders called out for him to take care, as the prisoner had something up his sleeve. He immediately closed with the prisoner, and in his pocket he found a clasp knife opened and ready for use. He then took the prisoner to the station. Floating cargoes of grain have met a steady sale, and prices have been well supported. Good and fine barley moved off steadily at quite previous rates ; otherwise, the barley trade was dull at fully the late decline in prices. The malt trade was dull, and the quotations had a down ward tendency. Oats—the supply of which was somewhat extensive— sold heavily at fully the late decline in their value. Beans and peas were steady at late rates. The top price of town-made flour is now 475. per 2801bs. Country marks and barrels moved off slowly on former terms. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

YANKEE BRUTALITY.—CharIes Drown, an American sailor, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with as saulting Robert Ruphis, a police-constable, No. 497 K. The constable stated that he was standing outside a pub lic-house in Ratcliff-highway last night, when the prisoner crossed the road, and deliberately made a blow at him, which alighted on his breast and knocked him against the shutters of the house. lie seized the prisoner before he could tepeat the blow, and called upon another constable to assist him in taking him into custody. The prisoner struggled violently and made a determined resistance before he was lodged in the station-house. I‘ir.anything to you ?

The G 'ivic Tribunal of the Seine gave judgment he day before yesterday in a suite brought by a M. Bock, he owner of a house in the Cite Trevise, against the Min ster of State, to recover compensation for the damage done to his premises by the fire which occurred in July, 1861, in the magazines of the Opera in the Rue Richer. The counsel for the plaintiff maintained that the fire had been caused by the imprudence of the workmen employed by the Administration of the Opera, and that they had virtually admitted their responsibility by indemniffing several. per sons whose furniture had been burnt at the sametinie.isTh tra. defendant's counsel, in reply, stated t hat the A dwmas mindeed tors of the Opera denied their respo nsibility. true that they had paid certain sma ll sums to P It persons who had suffered by the fire, but they had done soout of con sideration for the necessito us state of i t v h heith respect parties, and i to notthe because there was any leg al claim. origin of the fire, the p laintiff had failed to prove . s plea. There were several houses which ad sufferance windows looking towards the premises where the fire occurred, and the plaintiffs' was one of them. It was very possible th a t the fire was occa sioned by a lighted paper imprudently thrown from one of these windows. Taking this vi ew of the case, the Tribunal decided that the plaintiff had failed to prove that the fire was caused by the imprudence of the persons employed by the Opera, and accordingly rej ected his demand witli costs.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mine prem., and the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 2-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4211 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.31 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, at about 2-10 tbs per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg The course of exchange at New York on. London for-bills,at 60 days' sight is about 14 ei t 0147 percept., and the premium gold is about 33 per cent . At these rates there is a profit on the importation of gold from the United'States. _ • The 'tunneling of ,the Alps is being continued with great activity. It is expected that the actual advance of 3.8 metres every 24 hours will be carried up to 5.6 In., or even 6 m., so that, unless some unexpected accident should occur, the work will be finished in 1870. Some fears have arisen about insufficient ventilation of the tunnel when finished; engineers, however, fear there will be too much air. The two Ends of the tunnel have a difference of level of 131 metres; they will, therefore, never be at the same temperature, and a current of air will thus continually tra verse the tunnel,—Mechanics' Magazine. Monsieur Proudhon is about to rush to the rescue of the Pope with a large pamphlet in bis band. It will be something new to see Socialism patting Infallibility on the back.

Ati a gentleman was three evenings ago leaving a cafe at Lyons to return home, he was accosted on cross ing the Place Bellecour by a well-dressed man, who, after briefly stating that he was in great distress, said that he was M. Edgard Quinet, known as having been from 1839 to 1842 Professor of Foreign Literature at the Faculty of Letters at Lyons, and that unmerited misfortunes had re duced him to misery. The other, touched with compassion, gave the applicant a franc; but the latter did not appear satisfied, but kept still following, soliciting a further sum. The gentleman becoming impatient, and feeling certain that the fellow was an impostor, turned suddenly round and laid hold of him by the collar, with the intention of lodging him in the guard-house. The man, however, tripped him up and ran off, leaving a part of the collar of his coat behind. THE WAR-OFFICE AND LOCAL RATES.—About three years since an agreement was entered into between the War Department and the Woolwich Local Board of Health, by the terms of which tho former has hitherto paid a yearly sum in lieu of rates on a fair assessment of the Government property, which was valued for that purpose. The Secretary for War has, however, declined to continue this payment in full, on the ground that the Government ought to be exempted from those items in the poor rate not connected with the cost of the relief of the poor. A depu tation has been appointed to confer with the War Depart ment on the subject. Two prisoners, named Keller and Stauffert, effected their escape from the House of Correction, at Stras burg a few nights ago. By the help of a rope which had been thrown to them from the outside, they managed to scale the wall, and get into the street behind the corn market, and have not since been retaken. An attempt was made a few nights back to shoot a labourer, named Mettais, who resides at Bronstier (Indre-et-Loire). He was returning home at about ten o'clock, when a stranger approached him, and exclaiming, " There is your reward," fired a pistol at him. The ball struck the left sleeve of Mettais' blouse, without however injuring him. Mettais immediately knocked down his as sailant with a stick which he was carrying, but fearing that the other was not alone, he immediately took to flight across the fields and gave information to the police. The assailant got off,' and has remained undiscovered.

A NEW PoisoN.—A singular occurrence has just taken place i n Q ue d- e l-All eug , in Algeria, revealing the poisonous qualit:es of one of the most beautiful plants which adorn our gardens, viz., the Melia Asedaraacala, or head-tree, or Japan lilac, class Decandr ia, order Mono gynia, producing magnificent bunches of yellow berries, the pulp of which, however, is decidedly poisonous. The occurrence alluded to is this : —On the B th i nst. a drove of pigs belonging to M, Lescanne, of Oued-el-Alleug, was taken out into a field of clover to feed. Shortly afterwards many of them w ere se i ze d w ith a sudde n tremor, and then fell down as if s t ruc k w ith lightning. Upwards of 50 died on the first day, and 25 more on the second and third. Upon inquiry it appeared that the s wine-herds themselves had administered a large quantity of the noxious berries of the Melia to their animals. In order to leave no doubt as to the causo of the disaster, four hundred grammes of the berries were administered to three hogs; one of which died immediately afterwards; another in the course of an hour a nd a half, and the third, being much stronger, died i n t h e course of the night.

The Belgian Chamber of Representatives, in its last sitting, unanimously adopted the treaty concluded be tween Belgium and Russia for the reciprocal protection of literature and artistical property. Advices from Marseilles state that a vessel has landed there from the Pincus Ring Otho's state carriages, which are to be sent off to Munich by railway.
