MONEY MARKET. CITY NE WS-YESTERDAY. About £25,000 was taken from the Bank to-day for transmission to Portugal. The Bombay mail steamer Mooltan. sailing on the 27th inst., will take out specie to the amount of £206,615, of which £2,665 in gold is for Alexandria, and the remainder, £30,100 in gold and 73,850 Jn silver, for Bombay. Business has been almost totally suspended to day in all the markets where quotations are liable to be affected by the events of the American war, and it would have been extremely difficult to effect sales, owing to the conjectures excited by the non arrival of the expected telegrams from either et the three steamers now due. The extent to which the overtrading on the part of the cotton manufacturers was carried previously So the American war may be illustrated by the fact . that, according to the latest advices, the stocks of piece goods at Calcutta and Bombay were fully equal to a year's consumption, even under ordinary circumstances. From the economy induced by the present high prices, the supply will, of course, prove adequate for a much longer period. It also appears that such shipments of goods as are now in progress 'to Calcutta are upon terms 20 per cent. above the last quotations from that port. The Continental money-markets show little varia tion. At Paris, A msterdam, and Brussels the rate is 3 per cent., at Frankfort it is 2 per cent., and at Hamburg, 31. The St. Petersburgh advices show that the recent rise here in flax and hemp has stimulated the Rus sians to ask extravagant prices. Business in the interior of Russia is better than was anticipated, 'and the sales at the fair have, on the whole, been satisfactory. The Colonial-office have intimated, in reply to representations with regard to the unprotected con dition of the island of Labuan from piratical attacks, that instructions will be forthwith sent to the Admiral on the China station to despatch as early as may be practicable to the coast of Borneo some suitable vessel for the suppression of piracy in the Eastern Archipelago_ The Bank of British Columbia have commenced business, the Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury having given the requisite certificate. Owing to the favourable character of the report just issued, the shares of the Commercial Union As , surance Company were inquired for to-day. After business hours the arrival of a private te legram with news by the City of New York, from Cape Race on the 16th, occasioned great excite tnent. The information received is to the effect that M'Clellan had completely defeated the Confederates. The quotations of American secirities were given 2 or 3 per cent. higher from New York, and ex change on London had receded to 129. A very large number of white mulberry trees have come to perfection in Tasmania, and the silk pro duced there has been pronounced equal to the finest grown in Italy. Silk is likely to be a valuable staple production of Tasmania. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Notwithstanding the increased demand for money, usual at the end of the quarter, the Dis count Market continues extremely quiet, and the rates exhibit undiminished easiness. The Mooltan, to be despatched to-morrow with the Bombay mail, will take out £206,615 in specie. The Anglesey has been announced this morning from Port Philip with £27,600 in gold. The Bank of England return, completed to the 24th inst., exhibits little variation of importance. There is a small diminution in the stock of bullion, and a slight increase in the reserve of notes.

There has been no improvement in business at the Stock Exchange to-day, and further indications of heaviness have been perceptible, owing to some sales for transfer.

As he and his lady were going up the Champs Elysees in their carriage, one Of the traces came undone, and the splinter-bar struck against one of the horses' legs. Both animals then becoming unmanageable, ran the car riage against a hackney coach, and upset it. The carriage was shattered to pieces, and Mrs. Lawrence was thrown out with such violence as to break her left arm. The Ge neral had his right leg injured. Both of them were imme diately taken to a friend's house in the Champs Elysees, where they received every attention. One of the horses was so much injured that it was found necessary to kill it. THE CROPS AND STATE OF CANADA.—The season now drawing to a close has been a profitable one for the farmer. His barns have not only been filled, but the prices he has obtained, and will obtain, during the coming Winter make the year's farming operations in Canada of a very satisfactory character. The season, it will be remembered, commenced somewhat inauspiciously with droughts of the severest kind, but the subsequent summer months have more than compensated for the drawbacks of May and June. Copious showers at a later period restored full vigour to the grain crops and in a great measure also rescued the grass, which at one time was regarded as an almost total failure. The second crop of grass is more than an average, and as there will be a plentiful supply of roots the cattle will fare very well indeed during the coming winter. The fall wheat is, we learn, a si , lendid crop—a fact which it is anticipated will have considerable night with the farmers in making them return to that description of crop for the future. The fruit has also been of an unusually bountiful character, so that in every respect the Canadian farmer has great reason for rejoicing at the liberal re-vard which has attended his labours of the past season. Canada, we hear on all sides, was never more prospdrous than she is at the present moment, as money is plentiful and at lower rates of interest than it has been for the past ten ycara, and credit, is unbounded,—Canadian News, Sept. 25. PLYMOUTH, Sept. 25.—The Sussex, from London for Melbourne, arrived here this evening to embark passen gers. She reports signalling in the Channel the Cairngorm, from Sydney, June 18. She saw also to-day a ship stand ing up Channel resembling the Anglesey, due from Mel- bourne, with 6,900 (?) oz. of gold. IMPROVEMENTS AT HOLYROOD.—A new military guard-room has been erected opposite the palace of Holy rood, with stabling and coach-house in the court• yard be hind. The plans for the new building were approved about two years ago by the Prince Consort, and they have now been carried to completion. The ground thus employed was formerly the site of a brewery and other mean buildings, which ill-befitted the neighbourhood of the palace. Hitherto the only accommodation for the military guard has been an apartment entering from the vestibule of the palace, and for stable accommodation the horses and carriages of the Royal equipage have had to be sent to a considerable dis tance. The central feature of the new buildings is a gate way of Scoto-Gothic character, flanked by two massive towers projecting from the front, and surmounted by an attic storey. The guard-rooms are entered from under the archway, there being apartments provided for the officers on duty in the attic storey. The buildings in the court-yard within the gateway consist of stabling, with stalls for 17 horses, and coach-house, with harness-rooms and other accommodation. The Abbey Court-house, at the foot of Canongate, has been renovated in keeping with the new line of buildings, and the house which formerly occupied the south corner has been refronted with battlemented cor nice and projecting tower, the whole forming a symmetri cal fagade cf 245 ft. directly opposite the palace. "It is thought highly probable," says the _Edinburgh Courant, " that after the marriage of the Prince of Wales his Royal Highness will occasionally reside at Holyrood, and for longer periods than her Majesty has been in the habit of staying in the course of her journeys to and from Balmoral. At all events, the preparations which have been going on there indicate that the lamented death of the Prince Con sort will not deprive Holyrood of the stated visits of Royalty with which it has been for some years honoured," BIRMINGHAM MICHAELMAS FAIR, Sept. 25.-- The ;supply of ;au kinds of fat stock on offer this day was large, the trade inactive at barely late quotations, The supply of store stock was very large. All kinds of young stock were readily disposed of at higher rates. We noticed a very choice lot of Irish calves, fl' e months old, offered by Mr. Thomas Foster, whi c h real i sed £ 5 10s. eac h . Barrett beast new milch cows were readily disposed of at full prices. Store sheep were a large supply, the demand steady, store ewes realising from 335. to 458. each; store wethers, 3dB. to 46s each. The supply of tams was large, Messrs. Fox all and Cole exhibiting a very choice selection of pure Cots wold and Hampshire Downs. Mr. Glover and Mr. Reeves were large exhibitors; we also received a very choice lot from Mr. Druce. There was a fair demand at from £5 to £l2 each. The number of horses on offer this day was good, the heavy cart horses were a very good supply, the demand heavy. The horse trade was on the whole slow; good horses obtained full prices, inferior a very slow trade. Prices realised for fat stock :—Beef, sd. to 6d. per lb; mutton, 6} to nd per lb. ; veal, sd. to 64d. ; bacon pigs, Bs. 6d. to 98. 6d. ; porkers, 9s. 6d. to 108. 6d. During the last few days there has been a modes rate amount of business transacted in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Sugars have been in some instances rather dearer, particularly as regards refining descriptions. Tea, at public sale, fully maintained previous prices. Coffee sold readily at late quotations, while in rice, fruit, and spices the transactions have been to an average extent at about previous values. The Tallow Market has continued dull, with a very limited inquiry for home consumption, and quotations for both present and forward delivery have shown a downward tendency. P.Y.C. on the spot is marked 488 3d to 48s 6d ; last three months, 48s 6d ; and spring de livery, 498 to 498 3d per c w t. The report of the Cape Town Railway and Dock Company has been issued to-day, in anticipation of the half-yearly meeting, The directors state that, in addition to the 21 miles opened on the 13th o! February, 10 miles—as far as Stellenbosch—were opened for public use on the 4th of May, and a further portion of the line to Klapmuts, 9 miles in length, was shortly expected to be opened. The capital hitherto raised on construction account amounts t o £526,600, and there have also been raised £20,000 on account of working expenses, and of this capit al £508,768 3s. 11d. have b ee n ex pended on c onstruc tion account, and £16,689 125.3 d. on working account. It was estimated that about £50,000 would be required to complete the line from Ist of June, and in ord er to meet this outlay, it is proposed to take authority to raise the sum of £53,000 by debentures. 451 6 65 rnii 1081 67i 6-1 431 921 81 1281 11 p 100 100 100 all 100 100 all 45i xd 831 3 i THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY !LI YE NI N(1, SEPTEMBER 26, 1862. MARKETS---TIIIS DAY. LAW-THIS DAY. MARK LANE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE M. A. GAITER. Very little English wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market. Good and fine samples moved off slowly, at Monday's decline in the quotations, otherwise, the trade was dull, and prices had a downward tendency. The show of samples of foreign wheat was large, and the demand for all descriptions ruled inactive, at barely late rates. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, on former terms. Good and fine malting barley was firm in price ; but in other kinds, sales progressed slowly, at barely previous Malt changed hands slowly, but at full prices for good and fine parcels. Oats were in limited supply, and steady request, at ex treme rates. The show of beans and peas was small, and the trade for them ruled firm, at full currencies. The flour trade was decidedly inactive. Good and fin• parcels, however, both English and foreign, fairly supported previous rates NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Keating.) POLICE-THIS DAY. This bankrupt is a Mrs. M. A. Gayter, a well known and popular vocalist, and this was a meeting for last examina tion and discharge. Mr. Sargood supported, Mr. Reed opposed, and, in an swer to his questions, she said that she was a married wo man, but had been living apart from her husband for six or seven years. She had obtained protection from Mr. Locke the magistrate, but she had not got it with her. She had applied to the Insolvent Court in 1859, and then gave up the paper, but it had not been returned. She sometimes made £4, £5, and £6 a week from her engagements. Mr. Reed said that all the creditors desired was a cash account for the last six months. She owed about £l5O, and it was considered that she could set aside a portion of her earnings. She had paid off all her creditors under the insolvency. The bankrupt said she could make out an account of what she had received from her engagements, but they were very precarious, and her expenses were heavy in car riage hire, Sec., in going from place to place. The case was adjourned for the account to be furnished. CRIMINAL COURT--THIS DAY. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) TILE ALLEGED WHOLESALE POISONINGS. The trial of Catherine Wilson was resumed .this morn ing. Professor Alfred Swain Taylor, of Guy's Hospital, was examined—He went into a very minute description of the effects of virulent poisons, and said, having heard all the acts, he could not attribute the death of Mrs. Soames to natural causes. . Dr. Nunnely, of Leeds, was of the same opinion as Dr Taylor. _ _ _ Mr. Oppenheim then addressed the jury for the prisoner, The two points they had to decide were these. Did Mrs. Soames die of poison, and was that poison administered by the prisoner ? It was perfectly clear that no poison had been found in the body of the deceased, neither had the prosecution produced evidence to show that the prisoner had any poison in her possessicn previous to the death o the lady, and those circumstances tended to render the task they had to perform difficult in the extreme. At the conclusion of the learned gentleman's addrm, the Court adjourned until to-morrow. A young man named Steele, a pot boy, was charged with attempting to commit a rape on a child 12 years of age. The prosecution was conducted by the Associate Insti tution far the Protection of Women. The jury found the prisoner guilty of the minor offence, and the learned judge sentenced the prisoner to 18 months' imprisonment. - THIRD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Pierre Le Rois, a French acrobat, Alfred Towers, son of the lessee of the Victoria Theatre, William Charles Allen, and Agnes Elizabeth Towers, wife of Frank Towers, comedian and proprietor of the Victoria Tavern adjoining the theatre, were indicted for misdemeanour in rescuing the person of Frank Towers from the custody of Henry Horrick, a sheriff's officer of the county of Surrey, and in a second count they were charged with assaulting and ob structing the prosecutor and his assistant from recapturing Mr. Frank Towers, who had contrived to make his escape from the bar parlour windows of the above-mentioned pub lic-house. It appeared that on Saturday, the 13th, the prosecutor went to the Victoria Tavern, about four o'clock, for the purpose of serving Mr. Frank Towers with two writs, which had been issued against him for about £3OO, the judge's order having been obtained on the ground that he was about to leave the country. When the officer told Towers what his business was he threw himself into a chair in a very excited state. His wife began to scream, and a scene of confusion ensued, in which Towers escaped, and the prisoners prevented the officers leaving the place in pursuit of him until it was too late to recapture him. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. BRITISH POSSESSIONS Railways Atlantic ez St Lawrenct IBorn.,Baroda6z.Cent Ind Go. 5 per cent Do. New Buffalo and L axe Huron Do.

TEE ENORMOUS FORGERIES or LEASES.—This after noon Luther Yeates, late of Tokenhouse-yard, was placed at the bar, on remand, charged with forging a number of leases purporting to be executed by the late Admiral Sir John West. Witnesses were examined to prove the signatures to the fictitious leaves were forgeries. Mr. Lewis said he now asked his lordship to commit the prisoner for trial,' although they had only proceeded against the prisoner for forging the eight leases &fore his lordship, yet, from what had come to his knowledge, he believed the prisoner had raised upwards of £lO,OOO by his forgeries. The Lord Mayor having given the prisoner the usual caution, asked him what he had .to say in answer to the charge ? . . . Prisoner—l've nothing to say, your lordship. He, was then fully committed to Newgate for trial. WESTMINSTER. BREAKING A JUDGE'S WINDOWS.—Sarah Scott, of 4, white Hart-court, Windmill-street, described as a servant, was charged with wilfully breaking windows at the house of Mr, T. E. P. Lefroy, deputy-judge of the Bloomsbury County Court. . Mr. Lefroy, who was accommodated with a seat upon the magistrates' bench, detailed the particulars of the case. A suit had been heard before him yesterday at the Blooms bury County Court, on which the present defendant, then plaintiff, sued her late mistress for wages alleged to be due. Upon the hearing of the case he decided that the plaintiff had already received more money than she was-entitled to, and directed a verdict for the defendant. The piesent de fendant, when she heard the decision, became so noisy that he was obliged to have her expelled. On the rising of the Court he went home to his residence in Eccleston-place. During the evening some one came to the door, and Mr. Lefroy was informed that a woman wanted to see him. He inquired what for, when he was informed that it was respecting a decision arrived at at the county court. He sent word that any application on the subject of business must be made at the court and not at his residence. She then became very noisy, when he spoke to her and induced her to go away. In about ten minutes afterwards he heard the smashing of glass, and the defendant was pointed out to him as the person who had hurled a stone through it. Defendant said she had not had justice done her, and certainly went to the house to say that she had laid out her last penny for the hearing of the case, and was merely talk ing about her wrongs when she was charged with breaking the window. A boy broke it to whom she told her story. A witness was called who clearly proved that the mis chief had been done by the defendant, who afterwards ran away. Mr. Paynter animadverted in becoming language on de fendant's gross misconduct, and ordered her to pay the amount of damage and 10a. fine. She was committed for 14 days. ANOTHERMI/NCIMUSEN.—A romancing traveller Was talking of a church he had seen in Spain a mile and a half long. "Bless me I" said Garrick ; " how broad was it " About ten yards," was the reply. " This is, you'll observe, gentlemen," said Garrick to the company, " not a round lie, but differs from his other stories, which are gene rally as broad as they are long." THE CHANCELLOR OF ilia EXCITEQUEIL—In ad dition to his acceptance of the invitation to visit Newcastle on-Tyne and Middlesborough in the second week of Octo ber, it is stated that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will also dctept the hospitalities of Sunderland.

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY. A special meeting of the Manchester Chamber of Com• merce was held this day, for the purpose of hearing the Hon. Mr. Galt, the late Finance Minister of Canada, upon the trade and resources of Canada as affected by the present tariff. The Mayor occupied the chair. Mr. GALT, who was most cordially received, entered i ato an elaborate explanation of his late fiscal policy, and show€ d that the duties fixed by the Legislature of Canada had bee n imposed not for the purposes of protection, but for the salt 9 of obtaining a revenue, which was apr lied to the prom o ti ox of public works, with the view to the opening up and deve., lopment of the country, and in the payment of interest on. the debts of the province incurred by the construction o•f these works. The late Ministry was, however, endeavour... ing to reduce the tariff when they resigned owing to their, defeat on the Militia Bill—a step which had given rise to the greatest misapprehension on the part of England as touch-. ing Canada's loyalty. The cost of Canada to England was very small, and the experiment of self-government should. be allowed to work out its legitimate results. Then if a sepa ration were desired by either the mother country or by her colonies, or both, such separation might be effected with. mutual good will. Mr. Galt's speech made a great impression upon the Chamber, owing to its earnest eloquence. Mr. Asnwon'm and Mr. MASON complained of Canada maintaining high duties upon British manufactured goods, and said that if this policy were maintained it would be bet ter that there should be a separation between England and her British North American possessions. Mr. FERGUSSON observed that Messrs. Ashworth and Mason spoke only their own sentiments, and not the opinion of the Chamber. Mr. Ross complained of the high duties levied by Canada on British manufactured articles, but said that Manchester did not complain of that so much as of the fact that whilst this high tariff was maintained on the other side against England, the mother country allowed the Canadians to send in their corn, &c., free. Mr. GALT replied, and the proceedings, which lasted up wards of two hours, terminated with the usual compliment to the Chairman. 7HE SUSPECTED MURDER IN ME CITY. Samuel Gardener and Elizabeth Humbler were placed:at the bar before the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, yes terday, on suspicion of having murdered Elizabeth Gar diner, by cutting her throat, in his house, No. 1, Nor thumberland-alley, Fenchurch•street, on the 15th inst. Both prisoners appeared to treat the charge with the greatest indifference. The first witness examined was Mary Spencer, who said that on the morning of the 15th the prisoner Gardener came to her at her lodgings in Back Northumberland alley, and told her to come to his house. She did so, and there she saw the body of the deceased lying on the floor with a gap in the throat. The female prisoner was crying and saying what a shocking thing it was, and what a wicked man Gardener must be to accuse her of having done it. She, by Gardener's direction, went for the police. Witness said some time ago she knew that Gardener and his wife quarrelled in consequence of his familiarities with Humbler. Mr. Cowley, surgeon, described the injuries, and said he was decidedly of opinion that the wound the deceased woman had on the throat could not have been inflicted by her own hand. The Lord Mayor—What sort of an instrument would have inflicted the wound ? Witness—The knife that has been shown to me. [The weapon was here produced. It Was a small white-handled carving-knife, and exceedingly sharp towards the point.] The Lord Mayor (to the prisoner Gardiner)—Do you wish to ask the witness any questions? Gardiner—No, nothing. Mobbs, the City police-sergeant, said—The knife pro duced was handed to him when ho entered the room. Dr. Sequeira said the prisoner Gardiner had just taken it from the deceased's right hand. The female prisoner said, " You wretch, you are the cause of this." Gardiner said, " What ? You have done this." Humbler clasped her hands, and exclaimed, " Oh, my God I" The male prisoner said he suspected her because he had had intercourse with her, and she was aware that through a dispute she had to leave the service of Mrs. Gardiner. Both persons were given into custody after the inquest was adjourned yester day. On the road to the station Gardiner said two or three times, " I am glad I have been given into custody. I hope now something will come out." Both prisoners were remanded. 10411 101 100 104} 102} 102 i n 20k 20 20 I 31 et 7 5 1 i: 271 116! 7 rates. SHIPPING-THISDAY.

HORRORS OF SLAVE.RV• An officer of the I.7th Massachusetts Regiment, writing from Newbern, N.C., gives the following accouct of his recent experiences, copied from the Washington Republican : I had intended to have answered your last letter more fully, but for the last two days I have been questioning contrabands about slavery, and the stories they told me have so unsettled my mind, that I can scarcely think or write of anything else. I will give you one of the stories, and I wish you would tell me what you think of it. I am some times inclined to suppo - e that their stories are blacker than their skin. There was one pretty yellow girl, about fifteen years of age, passed over the ferry on Sun day night, who seemed very shy and afraid. She with several other contrabands, passed on with the regiments to Newbern. Many of us noticed her melancholy appearance, but all were too busy working the ferry-boat to speak to her. Yesterday two other contrabands came over, Man and wife, and as they seemed tired, and saic.ltbey, had had nothing to cat since Sunday morning, In th g en l i I told them to sit down, and I would getm something to eat.

GARIBALDI AT VARRGN N0: 1 —If it be but fair to disabuse the world of the false impression that Garibaldi's place of detention is a prison, a nd his room a cell, it is equally owing to justice to state that in all that regards in tercourse with his friends, and communication with them, he is treated with a rigid severity. None who are admitted once, are ever permitted to return, if they leave the pre cincts of Varegnano ; and thus his crAn children, not to lose the advantage of his presence, have been obliged to take up their abode with him, within the walls, and never leave them. His letters —as well those he writes, as those he receives—are all o pened and read ; and, in a word, even to the character of the individual to whom his safe custody is committed, there is nothing omitted which could be em ployed towards one fully convicted and sentenced in an open tribunal.
