MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS—YESTERDAY. In coniequence of the continued very active demand for bar silver for Bombay, the price has advanced to 611 d. per ounce, and further supplies are for the present difficult to obtain. Limited sales of Mexican dollars have been made at 621 d., and they also are very scarce. About £62,000 in gold of various kinds was with drawn from the Bank to-day for exportation. At the. recent meeting of the Commercial Gas Light an.d Coke Company a very satisfactory report Was pre:iented to the proprietors, and a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum declared. Then ext series of wool sales are fixed t• com mence on Thursday, the 13th November. Accord ing to a circular of Messrs. Willans and Overbury, the arrivals to the present date are 49,048 bales, of which 21,095 are from the Cape, and the re mainder from Australia. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is rather less inquiry for discount accom modation to-day, the supply of commercial bills on offer having fallen off, but the rates continue firm, and bankers and others show very little dispositio❑ to make even the slightest concession. The in creased quietude of business may be attributed to the fact that many parties had obtained accommo dation before the weekly meeting of the Bank di recrors, because the opinion was entertained in some quarters that the minimum might be advanced to the extent of Q per cent. The Bank of England returns, completed to the 22d of October, exhibits some rather important al terations. There is a large falling off in the stock of bullion, while the reserve of notes has been slightly diminished. The other securities have been considerably reduced, as also the public and private balances. The various items and the changes they present are shown in the subjoined table : Active Circulation. .. .. .. £21,463,330 Decrease .. .. • • •• 196,630 Bullion .. .. .. .. .. 15,912,699 Decrease .. .. • • • • 3 066 233 31i ,561 Rest ..''

Sugars have been in increased demand at slightly enhanced prices. Coffee, rice, and tea, however, have been a shade cheaper. In fruit and spices there has been a moderate amount of business transacted at about previous rates. Tallow has continued dull, and prices have slightly given way for both present and forward delivery. The directors of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada have issued there report in anticipation of the general meeting of shareholders. The board recognises the improved management in "Canada, and the development of the traffic of the company, and from reports which have been received, the directors state that they are led to believe that the abundant harvest of this year, together with the somewhat reviving trade in the colony, will furnish a ateady and largely improving revenue. The directors propose to reduce the number of their body from 15 to 12, and that the meetings of the Board shall be held in England, while the directors in Canada will constitute a committee of the Board for local, financial, and other purposes. A long report is appended from Mr. Watkin, vet-.o pro ceeded to Canada to re p resent the interests of the Board in important matters connected with the company. The traffic receipts of the South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian R►ilway for the week ending the 14th inst. amounted to £54,457, showing a de crease of £10,518 compared with the same period of last year. On the Central of Italy branch, from Plaisance to Bologne, the earnings were £4,414, against £3,633 in 1851. Two O'CLOCK.

An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders was held yesterday, at the offices, Bridge-street, Westminster, to authorise the borrowing on mortgage or debenture bond of a sum not exceeding L I 3,000 under the powers of the Aberystwith and Welsh Coast Railway Act of 1861. Mr. Whalley, M.P., presided, and submitted a resolution in accordance with the object of the meeting, explaining that the directors had delayed asking for the proposed autho rity until £200,000, or one-half of the entire capital, had been actually expended. The money now proposed to be raised would be raised from time to time as re• quired. He was happy to state that nothing could be more satisfactory than the progress of the works of the tine, both as regards rapidity of execution and the character of the works themselves. There was reason to believe that the line would be openea early next year to Aberyetwith, which was that portion of the line which was expected to be most directly remunerative, and the northern branch of the line to Barmouth, they wr re informed, would also be open in the course of the ensuing year, Capt. JOHNS seconded the motion, and from personal ob sery Aton confirmed the statement of the chairman as to the satisfactory progress and character of the wor.s. The resolution was unanimously carried, and a vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings.

A letter from Catherine Wilson, who was exe cuted at the Old Bailey on Monday morning last for the murder of Mrs. Soames, was lately received by John Mawer, a bricklayer residing on the Bur ton-road, Lincoln, and was written in answer to a letter from him. John Mawer, who has been 25 years in the employ of Mr. C. Ward, of Lincoln, was brother of the late Peter Mawer, of Boston, and it wilt be remembered that Catharine Wilson was housekeeper to the deceased, and that she was sus pected of having poisoned him in 1854. On his body, however, being exhumed some months ago, no trace of poison was discovered. Peter Mawer, it appears, had made a will in favour of his brother John, who was not only heir-at-law, but was held in affectionate regard by him. Peter Mawer fre quently told his brother that what little he had would go to him on his death, and about 12 month& before that happened John went over to Boston, and in the course of the afternoon Peter said to him, in the presence of the prisoner, " All will be right for you, Jacky ; you'll get what little I have when I die, for there's no one else for it." The same after noon Catharine Wilson, RS housekeeper, made tea, and after John had partaken of it he became exceedingly ill, and was taken with sudden vomiting, and was violently purged—the symp toms exhibited by the several victims of Wilson_ Peter sent for a medical man, who at once came; he said he could do John good, and that he was only suffering from bowel complaint, brought on by change of air. H e f orwarded some me di c i ne, b ut after taking a dose, which wa s administered by Catharine, h e b ecame worse. Late in the even i ng, Peter Maw er was so vexed at the medic i ne hav i ng a contrary effect to what was expected, that he threw the bottle containing it at the wall, and smashed it to pieces. The next morning the medi cal man sent him some more medicine, but as the violent symptoms still continued,:John, ill as he was, went home to Lincoln, and consulted his own medi cal attendant, who, after hearing a statement of the case, remarked that it was very odd a medical man should have prescribed a medicine which had such an effect. A bottle of medicine was given to him, and he soon recovered. In 1854 Peter Mawer made a fresh will, leaving his property, which was worth about £5O a year, to Catharine Wilson, thus setting aside the will he had previously made in favour of his brother ; a month afterwards he died under cir cumstances of a suspicious nature, and although it could not be proved that he was poisoned, there can be no moral doubt that he was, and that Catharine Wilson was the murderess. Immediately after the death of his brother, John Mawer consulted Mr. Tweed, solicitor, of Lincoln, with reference to tak ing steps to set aside the will, but as it was properly drawn up and attested there appeared no chance of success, and the matter was allowed to drop. After the conviction of Catharine Wilson, however, Joan Mawer stated these facts to his employer (Mr. Ward), and the latter, at the request of John, wrote to a solicitor at Boston for •nformation about the will, but received no answer. Mr. Ward, then, thinking it possible to obtain an admission from the condemned murderess that coer cion and undue influence was used to induce Peter Mawer to sign the last will—especially as it could do no harm to her to now acknowledge it if such was the case—endeavoured to obtain an interview with her. He accordingl3 wrote to the Sheriff for permission to visit the condemned, at the same time time stating his object. In reply he received a letter stating that Catharine Wi,son refused to see nim, and therefore he could not grant the permis sion required. At this time Mr. Ward happened to be in London, and he saw Mr. Under-Sheriff Mackrell, and stated the above facts to him. The Under-Sheriff said there was not the slightest rea son to believe that the condemned woman would give the information sought for, bat at the same time be offered to give Mr. Ward an order to see her. This was declined, but on reaching home Mr. Ward advised John Mawer to write to Wilson with re ference to the will. A letter was accordingly written by Mawer's wife, and the following reply (in the handwriting of the prisoner) was received " Gaol of Newgate, 13th day of October, 1862, " Sir,—l received your letter this morning. I must decline your visit with thanks. You say you sincerely forgive the past. You never had anything to forgive me of. I always treated you well, and should of treated you the same had you of come to my house 8 years the 17th of this month. Then your visit might of been beneficial to us both. You know the advice of a friend n need is a friend indeed seldom to be found. I never had any malice to wards you and now I have none towards those that has falsely swore my life away, for I most solemnly declare I am innocent of those dreadful charges. There has not been any poison ever traced to my possession or satisfactory proved that any one had died by poison. At the same time how much better to die innocent than guilty. I have been in prison 6 month my time has been spent in seeking that Savour who alone can save my soul. It matters little what way the p® )r body is disposed of as long as the soul is all wright with its Maker. Next Monday by this time I shall be in Eternity there to give account of deeds done. I am not afraid to die. I care not what man say of me or what they think, I will only ask mercy of a offended God and there sue for pardon. I shall die in peace with all. I hays had a few lines from George Kent (a young man who resides in Lincoln) but I was too ill to write and of course I declined to see him if he came. I will not see any of my own relations who have beged for a interview. I saw all the friends that wish to sea me before my trial, th en I never asked any to come to spea k for me, and since my trial I have refused to see any. I have been very kindly treated by all since I have been in prison. 1 have plenty of sympythea from Ladays who Tide - the prison, and all my wants supplyed here. I know this letter I received is not written by you. I hope you have these sentiments that I read in it is my earnest prayer, and believe me to be your wellwisher. Written by " CATHARINE WILSON.' Enclosed in the letter was a copy of verses, headed " The Question of Questions," and " What think ye of Christ P" oa which the following words were written by the condemned To the writer of the letter, from Catharine 'Wilson, 1862." It will be seen from thn letter that Wilson entirely bulked the question put to her, and that nearly the whole of it is taken up with assertions of her innocence, and of her being prepared to meet her Maker.

It is from the pen of the famous " Stone wall" Jackson, written while he was with the United States army in Mexico, of which army he was then as he is now of the Confederate, a brave and efficient officer. Our correspondent thinks General Jackson must be accorded the merit of a true poet. The pathos of poetry and true affection were never more justly delineated.] The tattoo beats—the lights are gone ; The camp around in slumber lies ; The night with solemn pace moves on, The shadows thicken o'er the skies; But sleep my weary eyes hath flown, And sad, uneasy thoughts arise. I think of thee, oh dearest one, Whose love my early life hath blest— Of thee and him—our baby son—. Who slumbers on thy gentle breast; God of the tender, frail, and lone, Oh, guard the gentle sleeper's rest. And hover, gently hover near To her, whose watchful eye is wet-- To mother, wife—the doubly dear, In whose young heart have freshly met Two streams of love so deep and clear— And cheer her drooping spirits yet. Now, while she kneels before Thy throne, Oh, teach her, Ruler of the skies, That while by Thy behest alone Earth's mightiest powers fall or rise, No tear is wept to Thee unknown, No hair is lost, no sparrow dies I That Thou can'st stay the ruthless hands Of dark disease, and soothe its pain; That only by Thy stern commands The battle's lost, the soldier's aki n _ That from the distant sea or land Thou bring'st the wanderer home again.

The ceremony of further proroguing Parliament took place this afternoon in the House of Lords. The Lord Chancellor and the other peers named in the Royal Commission having taken their seats on the wool sack, the Black Rod was directed to summon the Com mons to the bar of their lordships' house, and that official proceeded in the usual formal manner, and with as much ceremony as if the house was full of members, to execute his orders. In a few minutes her Majesty's faithful Commons, re presented by the clerks of the house, appeared, and then her Majesty's Royal Commissioners commanded the commis sion which directed them to declare the Parliament further prorogued until the 13th of November. As the words "for the despatch of divers urgent and im portant affairs" were not added, the meeting of Parliament on that day will again be of a purely formal character. LAW---THIS DAY. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Gibbons.) SEIZURE OF A BRITISH STEAM t.R BY THE AMERICAN FEDE RAL GOVERNMENT - IMPORTANT JUDGMENT -CLARK V. PEARSON. In this case the plaintiff is a seaman, and defendant the well-known shipowner of London and Hull, and the action was brought to recover £lO damages in lieu of wages. Mr. Hoffman was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr Murphy for the defendant. The plaintiff, with other seamen, in the month of May last shipped on board the steamship Circassian, which sailed from Liverpool, and while between Havannah and New Orleans she was seized by a Federal gunboat, it being alleged that a contraband cargo was on board. The steamer was taken into West Quay, Florida, and condemned, the seamen being taken care of by the British consul, who finally sent them home. It was contended for the plaintiff that the owner had contributed to the seizure of the vessel by having contraband goods on board, and therefore he was liable for wages up to the time of plaintiff's arrival in Liver - pool. Mt. Murphy urged that defendant had paid all wages up to the date of the seizure. That he could not admit there were contraband goods on board, and that an appeal was now pending in the supreme court in America. In fact, the learned counsel argued that the seizure of the Circassian by the Federal Government was nothing but an act of piracy, and they had just as much right to take a steamer out of the British Channel as to take the Cir cassian where they did. His Honour delivered judgment as follows : This was an action by a seaman for damages in the nature of wages sustained in consequence of the breach of ship ping articles by the owner in not employing him for the homeward voyage from Nassau. The voyage having been put an end to by the capture of the ship by the Federal blockading fleet, the ship was subsequently condemned by the American court as a prize, which being a judgment in rem, is conclusive evidenco of a breach of neutrality on the part of the ship. Under the old law the seamen's wages were dependent on freight, and, as a general rule, any cause putting an end to the freight •earning powers of the ship deprived the seaman of wages, but the 17th and 18th Vic., cap. 104, put an end to this doctrine, and the right of a seaman to his wages rests now on the same prin ciples as that of a workman to the price of his labour. On looking through the authorities I find that, even under the old law, as it stood previous to the statute, a seaman might have recovered wages even where the ship earned no freight, as, for instance, as it is put by Mr. Justice Story in the case of the Saratoga (Galerson's American Reports, 175), " where the owner has contracted for freights upon terms or contingencies differing from the usual rules of maritime law." If, therefore, the defendant had sent the vessel in question on her voyage with the intention of committing an infraction of neutrality, and should have been cap tured for such infraction, the seamen would have had a right to their wages under the old law, even though no freight had been earned. But this case rests upon a five more simple ground. The contract to employ for the voyage was an entire contract, and the plaintiff had a right to be employed during the whole of the time, and therefore had a right to recover damages from the defendant for the loss sustained by reason of his not having beer, so employed, he having been ready and willing to perform his part of the cuntract. It has been contended on the part of the defen dant that the contract was dissolved by vis major, and that therefore the defendant is not liable for the conse quences. Now, with this view I do not agree for the contract has been put an end to by the capture of the vessel by a friendly power for infraction of neutrality, which must have been caused either by the nets of the owner or of the crew. Now, as it is not charged that the plaintiff was guilty of misconduct in any way, I must assume that the breach of neutrality was the act of the defendant, and thus done in his oa n wrong, of which ho cannot take advantage. I therefore find for the plain tiff, with costs.—Verdict for plaintiff. It is stated that the American Government (Federal) have fitted up the Circassian as a cruiser. GREA7 INDIAN PENINSULA RAILWAY. The twenty-sixth half•yearly general meeting of the pro prietors in this company was held to-day at the London Tavern. The report states that the gross earnings of the half-year in respect of the 437/ miles open amounted to £239,687 13s. Id,, or £547 10s. 1041. per mile. Of this sum, however, only £167,145 lls. 9d. had been brought into the revenue statement, the difference, £72,542 ls. 4d., having been first deducted from the receipts,in accordance with previous prac tice, to meet the cost of passing traffic across the gaps in the railway system at the Bhore and Thull Ghats, and at the Goolbun Ravine. The working expenses as shown in the revenue statement amounted to 1103,714 13s. 3d., or 62'10 per cent of the above-meniioned sum of £167,145 lls. 9d., leaving £63,430 18s. 6d. as net profit, to be carried to the credit of the company's interest account with the Govern ment. After a short discussion the report was adop'ed. TEE REALM OF GAIJBALDL A Turin letter of the 20th, in the Presse, pub lishes the following letter from Dr. Prandina, Gari baldi's principal surgeon : Chavari, Oct. 16. I find myself here for the moment, having been sent for to perform an operation, but to-morrow I shall be at Varig nano with Garibaldi. . . . As to the existence of the projectile in the wound, that is a point which has generally been considered as doubtful ; the probability is that the projectile is there, but nobody hitherto has been able to find it. I myself incline rather to the affirmative, than the negative opinion —agreeing, however, in this with all the practitioners who have visited the illustrious patient, that any operation attempted with a view to discover the bullet would be more dangerous than useful. To open an artica• lution in order to resolve the problem of the existence or non-existence of an extraneous body which might remain quite innocuously in the part supposed, would be one of the most senseless o f a ll surg i ca l operat i ons. Hitherto this opinion has been shared by Professors Porta, of Pavia ; Zannetti, of Florence; hizz Ai, of Bologna; aherin"oef Milan ; P ar t r id ge o f L ondon ; Tommasi, o f Pisa ; and ow d the surgeons in charge o f t h e general. I t ma y how ever, ever, that the b u ll e t s h ou ld present itse lf in such • t a w to ayas to indicate the propriety of taking an oppor.utuonut y l would ex tract it.

Th e prase DR. P RANDINA. correspondent goes on. to say th a t h e h as heard the above letter discussed by many medical men,and that the general opinion is contrary to th a t o f Prandini ' s. Dr. Palesciano remarks on the simple inspection of the leg, a very sensible deviation of the foot. The articulation 11 open, the movement of the toes is almost imperceptible and very painful; the wound smarts on being touched, and a sort of abscess has formed in front of the external malleo lus. These are all reasons for not relying upon nature to perform a cure. Uneasiness is increasing at Turin and in all Italy. The general health of the patient is excellent, he eats and sleeps well, and all the functions of nature are regular. The local conditions are favourable, and, there fore, it is not too late to proceed to the extraction of the ball, or even amputation if necessary. THE LAUNCH OF THE CALEDONIA (THIS DAY). Her Majesty's splendid iron-plated frigate Caledonia was lvunched this afternoon at Woolwich. SUDDEN DEATIL—ThiS morning a female named Watkins dropped down dead at th e corner of White Hart street, Drury-1a0• POLICE-THIS DAY.

A constable was then sent for, and the prisoner given into custody. Kent, 191 C, said that although prisoner said-he went, to the house to buy bottles he found no money on him, and. only a knife. Prisoner—My father buys bottles, at least he used to do so, but he can't now as he is dead. lam known to a wine merchant in Oxford -street. Mr. Knox—He shall be sent for.

Ward and Robert Gilbert were placed at the bar, the former charged with stealing, and the latter in aiding and abetting him in carrying off some valuable property from the house of Mr. W. Gibbs, 13, Chester-terrace, Chester-square. Prosecutor said—l am a watchmaker. At a little before 6 last evening the prisoner Ward entered my shop and asked me if I had a gold watch to sell at about 10 guineas. I took a case of watches out of the window and then showed him one at 15 guineas, but as he had mentioned 10 guineas, I also showed him the gold case of an unfinished watch at 12 guineas, thinking that that might suit him. Ee took one in each hand and was comparing the size, when he sud denly turned round and cast his eye towards the door, and another man, who had been concealed in the doorway of the next house, suddenly appeared and thrust my shop door as wide open as it would go. The prisoner ran out with my property in his hands, accompanied by the other man. I hastened to the door, and called " Stop thief." Prisoner and his confederate ran to wards Elizabeth-street, and a neighbour and I went in pursuit. I followed and overtook Ward, who had the watches. Henry Pratt, tent-maker, Chelsea-terrace, said—l heard the cry of " Stop thief," and saw the two prisoners leaving my neighbour's door. I followed and took Gilbert. Mr. Paynter —How did the prisoners get to the station ? James Townsend, police-constable 254 B—The prose tutor and his witness brought the prisoners in custody to the station themselves, where I received them. I produce the watches.

He served him, and the parties drank the half-and-half be tween them, after which the prisoner left the bar and went into the passage. The other person asked for a cigar, and while he was serving him he lost sight of the prisoner. He followed him, and saw him in the private bar parlour at tempting to force open the lock of a cupboard. He said, " Hallo, what are you doing here IP" to which the prisoner replied that he was " looking for a coffee-shop." He then took hold of him, and the other man ran away.

In nearly all descriptions a fair business was transacted at full quotations. Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request at quite previous rates. Malting barley was very firm, and prices had an upward tendency. Other kinds moved off stealily at extreme rates. In malt there was a fair demand, and prices ruled firm. Oats, the supply of which was very moderate, were in steady request at Monday's currency. Beans moved off heavily at fully the late decline in their value. The show of samples, however, was small. Peas were in slow demand on former terms. Best kinds of flour were in fair average request at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Nal t. Oats. Flour.
