MONEY M ARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. The tlierelntile letters from New York to-day contain little of interest. Intense attention was directed to the political probabilities of the next few days, as it was conjectured that a battle might take Place in Maryland between the Confederates and Gon..M'Clellan at about the date of the departure of the present steamer. This battle, it was felt, would, if gained by the Confederates, extingue-h the Tinian cause, while, in an apposite case, the re sults would be peculiarly disastrous to the Confede rates, owing to th e diffi cu lty o f re treat. The exist ing crisis was therefore regarded as the most im portant moment of the whole war. The entire re moval of the restrictions on travel had created a sense of immense relief, and is attributed partly to the necessity of allowing prominent Unionists to escape from B a l t i more an d other threatened cities, but more especially to the approach of the autumn elections. The latter cause had also induced the Government to allow a little more liberty of speech. The next steamers to arrive are the Kangaroo and Bremen, which were to leave New York on the 1 3th, and the North American, which was to leave Quebec on t h e same d ay. Th e t wo f ormer are likely to bring specie. Late news by the latter may be received to-morrow afternoon. The steamer to arrive at the end of the week is the Asia, from Boston, with letters to the 17th of September and telegrams to the 19th. The Canadian advices by this mail state that the harvest has been highly satisfactory, and that "there is more wheat at present in Canada than ever before in the history of the country. Specimens of the fibre of the Zostera Marina, the new substitute for cotton proposed by Mr. Harben, were exhibited in Mincing-lane to-day, and the op inions expressed of their quality were very favour able, but there also seemed to be strong doubts as to the quantity that may be found available, and the rice at which it can be obtained fit for manu facture. The entire question, however, will soon be brought to practical tests, as one or two persons at Manchester have ordered a sufficient quantity for a satisfactory experiment. The exchange from Vienna on the 20th exhibits further improvement of 50 centimes in favour of Austria. The gold transactions at the Bank today were unimportant. The corn market was very dull to•day, at a re duction of ls. to 2s. per qr. The South-Eastern railway traffic return shows this week an increase of £4,221 ; and the London, Brighton, and South Coast an increase of £3,859. The half-yearly dividend on the, Brazilian Five per Cent. Loan of 1824 is notified as payable on and after the Ist October. An extraordinary meeting of the East India Steam Navigation Company will be held on the 30th inst., " to determine on resolutions to be sub mitted for authorising the board of directors to negotiate and enter into contracts for the sale of the property of ttle company." CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand for discount accommodation is about equal to the recent daily average, and the rates continue steady. Most of the continental markets remain quiet, without any alteration of importance in the terms for the negotiation of commercial securities. There is an increase of £5,003 in the traffic re turns of the South Eestern Railway, and of £2,859 on the Brighton, for the past week. On the Ist pros. the half-yearly dividends will become due upon Brazilian 5 per Cents., Peruvian 3 per Cents., and Dutch 4 per Cents. (Certificates). A call of L 1 per share, amounting in the aggre gate to £50,000, will fall due on the shares of the Indian Branch Railways Company, on Friday next. The operations in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets during the last few days have been moderately active. For tea, however, there has been only a limited inquiry. Sugars have slightly advanced, while full rates have been readily ob tained for coffee, cocoa, and rice. In saltpetre the dealings have been to about an average extent while a decided decline has taken place in the value of jute. Tallow continues dull for both present and forward delivery, at about previous quotations. The stock of tallow in London on the 22d inst. was 36.700 casks against 38,390 in the correspond ing date of 1861, 44,984 in 1860, and 20,955 casks in 1859 The Mangerton from Lisbon has brought £1,056 In specie.

(Before the Recorder.) UTTERING FORGED ORDERS. George Copeland, a respectable looking young man, aged 24, described as a warehouseman, pleaded guilty to two indictments charging him with uttering forged orders of request for the delivery of goods with intent to defraud. The prisoner was sentenced to twelve months' imprison ment, with hard labour. SHEEP -STEALING. Henry Sandeford, aged 18 ; Robert Heath, 20, and Joseph Withers, 23 ; all described as butchers, were indicted for stealing eight sheep, the property of Mr. Sebastian Gar rard, the well-known silversmith at the West-end. Several witnesses having been examined, The jury returned a verdict of guilty against all three prisoners. The Recorder sentenced Sandeford and Withers to two years' imprisonment, and Ring to 18 months' imprison ment, with hard labour. The punishment for this offence was formerly death. THE CASE OF ASSAULT ON 'YOUNG BEN CAUNT. Mr. Sleigh said he was instructed to apply, on the part of the pros ecu ti on, i n which a person named Will i am W ar d , a brother o f th e ce l e b rated pugilist, Jem Ward, is charged with a brutal an d f erocious assault on Mr. Caunt, a t t h e Coach and H orses , S t. Martin's-lane, and from the effects of which he has to the present time been an out-patient of Charing-cross Hospital, that the recognisances might be enlarged until next sessions, to enable the prosecutor to go before the grand jury; ho did so upon the affidavit of Mr. Delamotte, house surgeon to the hospital, who stated that he had seen Caunt this morning at his residence, and that ho was suffering from erysipelas and fever, and wholly unable to attend. Mr. Ribton, for the defendant, said he was instructed to oppose the application, on the ground that it was not bona fide. Mr. Sleigh said Mr. Delamotte, the surgeon, was in court, and might be examined. Mr, Delamotte was called, and repeated the statement made in the affidavit. He had seen the prosecutor this morning, and found him suffering from erysipelas and fever, and in his opinion it would be dangerous for him to attend. The Recorder said after that evidence the case must stand over, and the recognisances enlarged to next sessions. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. T. Chambers, Q.C., Common Sergeant.) Robert Owen, a man 60 years of age, was indicted for passing counterfeit money, and several cases were proved against him. It appeared that he was a ticket-of-leave man with a year and a half to serve. The Common .sergeant ordered him to be sent back for the year and a half, and added another year and a half to the sentence. CHARGE OP LIBEL. Andrew Gray, a reporter, surrendered to an indictment charging him with wilfully and maliciously publishing a libel upon Mr. Richard Henry Phillips. The defendant, who occupied a seat near his counsel, pleaded not guilty, and also justification. Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Giffard defended Mr. Gray. The libel in question appeared in the Weekly limes news paper, and reflected on the character of the prosecutor, a horse-dealer, residing near liensal-green, and also accused him of having administered poison to his wife. The case was proceeding when we went to press. SHIPPING---THIS DAY. LONDON, Sept. 23.—Wind this day at noon—North Easterly ; moderate breeze and fine Weather, but rather cloudy.

A letter from Paris says :—Talking of letters, I may mention that the morning post from London is of very little advantage to persons in Paris to whom letters or papers are sent by it. Having noticed how frequently these were not delivered, I kept a memorandum on the subject for the six nights from Monday, the 15th, to Saturday, the 20th inst. The result is that neither letters nor papers due on the 15th, 17tb, and 20th were deli vered until the next morning, an hour or so before those sent by the night mail. On the 19th the letters were delivered, but not the papers. The proper hour of delivery is about half past 7—a little earlier or later, according to the part of the letter carrier's beat one lives in,—and, from what I hear, I believe the cause of the frequent non-delivery to be that if the letters are not received sharp to a particular hour the carriers go home for the night. Thus a matter of ten minutes may make all the difference, and probably often does, for it is un likely that the mail train is frequently much behind time. Surely 8 o'clock would not be an unreasonably late hour for the delivery, which Is now fixed at half-past 7 ? Another Post office detail which is frequently complained of is the very small weight allowed for a single letter passing between Prance and England. It is only three-fourths of the French inland weight, and 1 believ e on l y h a l f that stipulated by French 13, overn. meat, it is understood, would not object to augment the weight, and, if so, it is obviously the duty of our Post-office to mov e i n t h e matter. By the pre sent system persons ar e constrained to write on in conveniently thin paper or to pay double postage ; and another inconvenience is that foreigners, accus tomed to a larger weight in their own country, are continually understamping letters, which are then charged on delivery something considerably more than the whole proper postage would have been—at what rate I cannot say, for, judging from my own experience, it seems to vary in a manner obscure to the non-initiated in post-office mysteries. At last the French are beginning to use postage stamps with rows of holes between them, as in England, muoh to the satisfaction of the vendors, and also of the genera, public. It is strange that this should have been so long coming about in a country generally so quick to adopt improvements. DOG AND LOBSTER.—A few evenings ago (says the Montreal Witness) a large, thorough-bred bulldog, was passing by the store of Mr. N. O'Hara, in Craig-street, when its attention was attracted by the movements of a gigantic lobster, crawling in front of the door. The dog attacked the lobster, when the latter at once showed fight, extended its tremendous claws, and seized its antagonist by the leg. The dog vainly endeavoured to pierce its adversary's coat of mail, but still coltitued to fight. At length the lobster, letting go its hold of the dog's leg, grasped the animal's tail with its powerful weapons of offence, and the dog at once relinquished the contest and ran off, its adversary still maintaining its hold. At the corner of St. Lawrence Main street the lobster was detached, when the dog bolted, and in a few minutes was out of sight. A large crowd witnessed this singular combat, and were as much surprised at its termination as at its commencement. The lobster was a most formidable specimen of its class, and weighed no les s than 271 b. A letter from Lyons says that the vintage is being brought to a conclusion in that neighbourhood. The vine-growers have taken advantage of th e l ast few fine days to expidito the work. It is calc ulated that the w i ne crop will be abundant. In some vi neyards th e p ro d uce i s douple that of last year, which 'nevertheless, was not in ferior to an ordinary crop. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, S';t 22.—The market was dull toridaY.

AN UNWILLING PROSECUTRIX.—Annie Keefe. an un fortunate woman, was charged with unlawfully cutting and wounding Esther, a woman of the same class, with intent, &c. Prosecutrix, whose arm, we understand, is very badly cut, began by stating that she could not move it, and was sworn with the left hand. She then said she lived in Union.court, Orchard-street, and last night at eight o'clock the defendant and her had both been drinking, and had an altercation which increased in vehemence, till they came to very high words. She did not know what else occurred, as they were both very drunk, and did not know what they were about. Mr. Arnold—But she's charged with cutting and wound ing you. How about that ? Prosecutrix—Oh, I don't know; my arm's all right. Mr. Arnold—Then, why did you say just now you could not use it ? Prosecutrix-1 don't know. Oh, pray, have mercy I Mr, Arnold—Mercy, upon whom ? Prosecutrix—That female ; we were both very drunk. Mr. Arnold—l don't doubt that for a minute; but a couple of drunken prostitutes are not exactly the people to excite mercy. I want to know the facts of the case. What has occurred to your arm ? Prosecutrix—lt got struck somehow. Mr. Arnold—Do you mean to say upon your oath that you don't know how? You've sworn to speak the truth, why don't you speak it ? Prosecutrix—Oh, we were both drunk, and I gave her provocation. Mr. Arnold—l don't doubt that was the ease, and you've told me twenty times you were drank; but I want to know how your arm was cut—who did it ? Prosecutrix—Well, this woman struck my arm and cut it, but I don't know what with. Mr. Arnold—Have you been to a doctor ? Police -constable—She was taken to the hospital, where the wound was dressed. Mr. Arnold—Have you any certificate ? Police-constable—The surgeon refused to give me one. Mr. Arnold—Was the prisoner drunk when charged? Police-constable—No, sir, she was sober. Mr. Arnold, observing prosecutrix's face was much cut, enquired who had done that. Prosecutrix made no answer for some seconds, and at length was about to repeat something about their both being drunk, when Mr. Arnold said " Stand down, it's evident you don't mean to tell the truth if you can help it. Prisoner is re manded till this day week. The magistrate then directed the police to get all the evi dence they could in the matter. We may state that surgeons frequently refuse to send certificates to this court for an obvious reason. Had a doctor been present the wound would no doubt have been found to be a very dangerous one, as it was sewn up in four places. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CURIOUS CAPTURE OP A TRIM— Thomas Baston, in the employ of Mr. John James Holloway, of the Clarendon Arms, North Row, St. George's, was charged with robbing his master of a large quantity of clothing, 16s. in coppers, &c. It appears that the prisoner, who was potman to Mr Holloway, absconded yesterday morning, and on an exami nation of the place being made it was found that he had taken away a large quantity of clothing, and had broken open a drawer and taken away 16s. in coppers. Information was given to the police, and late at night Hellicar, 1710, a very active officer, went with the prosecutor to search for the prisoner in Duck-lane, Westminster. While going along some thieves knocked off the prosecutor's hat, and ran away. Hellicar, while following the prosecutor, saw the prisoner standing at the corner of a street with a box in his posses sion. He asked the prisoner whether be had seen two per sons run past, and he replied, You mind your business, and I'll mind mine." Hellicar told the prisoner that for once he would do so, and fancying the prisoner answered the description of the man they were in pursuit of, waited till the prosecutor came back, when he at once identified the prisoner as the person who had robbed him ; and in the box the prisoner had all the prosecutor's clothes were found with the exception of a coat. Mr. Holloway said the prisoner had got into his employ by misrepresentations. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner that inquiries might be made. SOUTHWARK. A drunken disciple of Esculapius, Charles Frewin, re siding at ISB, Grange-road, Bermondsey, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and violently ringing bells and wrenching off a door-knocker. The prisoner, who was a young dissipated looking person, denied the charge, and Mr. Edwin, jun., appeared on his behalf. Police-constable 30 M said that he was on duty last night in Bermondsey -square, and about f4ur o'clock this morn ing he sa v ihe prisoner ring the bells of the house No. 32 and a surgery at No. 31, both occupied by Dr. Turner. He followed him into 1, Grange-road, and when he was about five yards from him, the prisoner went to the house, No. 197, and wrenched off the knocker. He went up to him and asked him what he did that for, to which the prisoner replied, "I am a gentleman, and there's two shillings for you," which witness refused. He took the prisoner into charge, and on the way to the station he resisted him vio lently. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Edwin at some length, and denied that he had been guilty of any unneces sary violence towards the prisoner, but admitted that he was obliged to put him on his back in consequence of the resistance he made as he was conveying him to the station. He took the prisoner by the breast-part of his coat, and it was not until he had been seized by him by the neck that he then threw him down. Mr. Edwin said that he was instructed by his client to acknowledge his offence, and to apologise to Dr. Turner, to whom he had formerly been assistant. The fact was that the young man had been drinking freely the previous night, and under the influence of excitement indulged in what had been at one period a fashionable spree. Dr. William Turner said that between three and four o'clock this morning he was roused from his bed by a loud ringing at the door, and he looked out of his bed-room window, but could see nobody at the door. Within the last three or four months ho had been similarly disturbed, arid his only object in appearing against the prisoner v;as to secure himself from a repetition of a similar annoT.kance. Mr. Edwin—Perhaps you had on the door, « please ling the bell," and gentlemen in the condition t of my client are sometimes too polite not to comply with such a request. (Laughter.) Dr. Turner said that was not the case, as the words al luded to were on the inside door. Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk, said that this was the fourth time the prisoner was charged before the court with the same offences. The prisoner was bound over to keep the peace in bail of £lO himself, and one surety in a similar amount. THAMES. STAIMING.--GERMAN DANCINGROOMS.—Francis Fust, a tall, rouglf-looking fellow, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with assaulting and wounding August Heberlin, a stick maker, of No. 24, Grey Eagle-street, Spitalfields. The parties were in.a German dancing room last night, and Heberlin stood up with his partner and was about to dance, when the prisoner rudely pushed them back, and said he ordered the dance for himself, and no one else. He berlin commenced tripping it, not on the "light fantastic toe," but with his heavy heels and boots. The prisoner again pushed Heberlin away, a row took place, and the landlady interfered, ordered the music to cease, and said there should be no more dancing. The Germans separated amidst a war of words. About half an hour afterwards Heberlin was passing down Leman-street, a short distance from the German dancing-house, with a friend, when the prisoner and another man, came behind them, and assaulted bothsud denly, and with great violence. Heberlin turned round and the prisoner struck him on the head. He fell senseless to the ground, and when he was raised and car ried into the H division station-house, in Leman-street, it was discovered there was a large incised wound on his head. Inspector Denby, of the H division, who saw the wound dressed, had no doubt it was inflicted with a knife, or other sharp instrument. Several German witnesses gave evidence of the outrage, and that blood was streaming from the complainant's head directly he was struck. A constable, named George New man, heard a cry of "Murder, murder, a man is stabbed," in English, and exclamations in German, and upon pro ceeding towards the spot he saw the prisoner running and stopped him. Mr, Selfe commented on the atrocious and cowardly con duct of the prisoner, and said there were good reasons for not sending the case to the sessions and risking a failure of justice. He should dispose of the case summarily by sen tencing the prisoner to two months' imprisonment and hard labour, Peter Helkessel, a German, aged 36, of Manchester-road, Blackwell, was charged with assaulting Gustace Kahuss and James Brown. This case arose out of the dispute in the dancing-7 0 2 3 ! which the complainants, one a German, the other: n : s n% lishman, took part. When the German, Ilebeeidres at was struck, and murder was called, Bevan, 123, Leman-street, went to the spot to as w ce h w r o t e a r e i e n intoxicated the matter. The prisoner Helkessel, w h h: bea .. d Kahuss, and raving, knocked him down and cut something sharp, and what was the German, was also struck with t sustained considerable injury • when they reached the station that Helkessel fol lowed was proved by several witnesseshe.lol:B:sh men were bleeding lett the dancing room w hen t lowed Bevan and Bahusa Y disturbances had and maliciously attacked bottat frequent rooms, and they had led tak M en r. p B la e c if e e in va th s German description.

The proceedings of last night (Friday), says the Northern Whig, are a striking commentary upon the real or affected confidence in the inoffensive cha racter (gal Orange, and the long suffering meekness of a Catholic, mob. Divided into two mobs, the Orangemen attacked the houses of those against whom, on political or religious grounds, their en , mity had been kindled. One mob applied itself to breaking the windows of Mr. Coyle's house in the Ormean-road. Mr. Coyle is a Roman Catholic— that is the head and front of his offending. Another mob, estimated at about a thousand strong, attacked the-Royal Hotel, in Donegall-place. The cry was raised " To the Whig office !" and the rioters set out thither, through Donegall-place, attacking Mr. Hughes's bakery en route. The police, meeting them here, prevented the destruction of the buildings and machinery of this office. The mob, disap- I pointed, took its way round Donegall-squares North and West to the house of Mr. Finlay, the proprietor of the Whig, in Donegall .square South, on which they opened a systematic at tack. The glass ia front of the house within reach of their missiles was speedily demo lished. The hall, the parlour, the drawing room, and one of the bedrooms are now strewed with large stones, which cannot have been picked up on the spot. They must have been brought from a distance. Their appearance makes it probable that they were taken from Peter's Hill or f rom the limestone quarries on the . An t ,tr. and a Antrim road. the .Mtri.mFeionf lay is absent on th e continent the attack, the only persons in the house were two female servants. Had not this been the case loss or life, or serious personal injury, must almost un avoidably have occurred. The number of stones thrown makes it next to certain that one or other of them would have struck any person in the front of the house. Their size and weight ensure that a blow from them would have inflicted serious, if not fatal, injury. The amount of damage done to and in Mr. Finlay's house cannot now be estimated. There has, it is clear, been considerable destruction of property ; but everything is as the rioters have left it. The stones lie where they fell. All will remain as it is until the magistrates shall have had the opportunity of examination. We have spoken hitherto of the out rages of the Orange party. W e regret to say that the Catholics, contrary to the excellent and Christian counsels of the Right Rev. Dr. Dorrian, the coadjutor Bishop, of Belfast, have suffered themselves to be provoked into measures of retaliation of a very undiscrimi nating character. Protestant meeting houses have been attacked —among them that of the Rev. J ohnt Scott Porter, whose influence was used (ensues's fully, we regret to say) to induce the committee of the Botanic Garden to rescind their grant of the .:arden for the purposes of the demonstration. Mr, Porter must look back with satisfaction on the pat t he has taken in this matter. If his advice had been acted upon the peace of Belfast would be still un disturbed. In Bally macarrett, a great number of houses oc cupied by very respectable people Were attacked in discriminately, and whether the residents were Pr o . testant or Roman Catholic made no difference to the mob. Where the mob came from we know not, bat they totally demolished the windows that came in their way. In other quarters of Belfast similar disgraceful prooeedings took place. In Church street and North -street we are informed that up wards of twenty houses were damaged by stone throwers, a mob of whom, we understand, was principally composed of mere lads and girls. Not a single local constable or policeman was near at the time to prevent them destroying the houses of re spectable and inoffensive citizens, as was done by them. The meeting-house of the Rev. Hugh Hanna was attacked by the Roman Catholic mob, and a great deal of injury done. In Millfield, Brown-street, Carrick-hill, and other places in that neighbour hood, many dwelling-houses were completely gutted ; and on the previous evening the houses of Mr. Savage, in Boundary-street, and Mr. Savage, in Townsend -street, were left, especially the former, with scarcely a pane of glav,s in the windows. Duiing the evening the Riot Act was read several times by Mr. Dunville,Dr. M'Gee, Mr. Lyons, and others of the magistracy; but their desire, it was evident, was not to resort to extreme meaaures. A great number of injuries were inflicted on constables and civilians by the mobs of rioters, but the wounds received were not of a dangerous character. The Dublin Evening Mail says that, owing to a telegraphic message received by the authorities, 202 constables and sub-constables and four officers of the constabulary left by a special train on Friday night for Belfast. SUBSTITUTES P 01? COTTON-. The following letter, written by "A Botanical Medallist and Prizeman of King's College, London," relates to the numerous substitutes other than that named by Mr. Harben which have lately been sug gested for cotton : "As Mr. Laing has informed the public that Lord Shaftesbury's idea of the enormous stores of cotton in India was ' all moonshine,' it has become more than ever impor tant to consider what is to be done now that we know that our Indian empire can only slowly increase her production. This is the more necessary when we note that the American cotton crop of 1862 cannot be more than a fourth of the usual quantity, and that the area under cultivation in 1863 is not likely even to equal that of 1862. If Egypt double her small supply it will not aid us much, and Queensland, Natal, Jamaica, &c., can only profitably produce a costly high-class cotton to pay for their high-priced labour. This quality of cotton is not what we require to relieve the cotton famine. We want a large supply of the quality known as middling Orleans at a cheap rate. The West Coast of Africa could undoubtedly supply us, but nothing has been done to open up the magnificent resources of that district. tt At this juncture a number of ingenious and well-inten tioned inventors step in and declare that we have in our own country stores of fibres which may be transformed into a material of tie same nature as cotton. I have obtained samp l es of most of the fibres proposed as substitutes, and I have submitted them to careful examination under high powers of the microscope. I find them all to be varieties of woody fibre, more or less split up and divided, varying in the length and thickness of the fibrilla. The fibres of all the specimens I have seen are nevertheless uniform in the following particulars :—Tht y are all solid, inelastic (or brittle), with joints and rough edges, showing where the bundles of fibrilloc have been torn apart. Having so me practical acq ua i ntance with cotton-sp i nn i ng an d weaving, I assert that the above qualities render woody fibre un fitted to be used as a substitute for cotton, unless a very considerable modification be made in cur cotton machinery. The fibres Which have been exhibited may probably be use ful as substitutes for linen if they can be largely produced at a cheap rate; but the woody fibre (from which all the proposed substitutes are drawn) can never be used under the same conditions as cotton), which consists of vegetable hairs, hollow, elastic, riband-shaped, and spiral, with smooth edges and surfaces. If we want a perfect substitute for cotton we must not look for it in woody fibre." MARKETS-THIS DAY. HAY MARKETS.

In the refined market the large qu , aitities on offer has in some measure tended to depress quotations.
