MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS, YESTERDAY. An instalment of 10 per cent. falls due to-morrow (Saturday) on the Turkish Loan, and 24k per cent. on the second issue of the Egyptian Loan, less the amounts already paid in full. On Monday a pay ment of 5 per cent. has also to be made on the Portuguese Loan. The news of the ratification of the new Vene zuela Loan has been promptly followed by the ap pointment of a settling day in the scrip. The day fixed by the committee of the Stock Exchange is Wednes day next, the sth of November, and the loan is to be quoted in the ()facial list. Gold to the extent of £20,000 was bought from the Bank to-day for exportation. It is this day notified that the directors of the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway Com pany, with the sanction of the Secretary of State for India in Coancil, have resolved to issue the further Bum of one million of capital, in £2O shares, with a 5 per cent. guarantee. The allotment will be in the proportion of two new shares for each £lOO capital held on the 31st of October. The deposit must be paid by the 12th of November. Payments in full will be received to a limited extent. A further call of £2, making £6 paid, is to be paid on the shares in the Turin and Savona Rail way Company by the Ist December.

There is little information to supply in this de partment of the Sun, owing to the usual holiday being observed at the Stock Exchange on the Ist November, one of the days for the adjustment of the half-year's accounts at the Bank of England, which necessitates the closing of the transfer offices. A small amount of business has been negotiated in the discount market to day, and the rates have shown a tendency towards increased easiness. The banks and discount houses are willing to take bills on terms rather below the Bank of England in order to find employment for the vast resources in their hands. The Persia has arrived from New York with £201,848 in specie. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £1,282,000, and the exports £526,000. The dividend warrants on the Venezuelan 3 per Cent. and 11 per Cent. Bonds will be paid on and after Monday next, 3d November. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada, for the week ending the 17th October, were £12,280, agaimst £12,352 last year. The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed Wednesday next for a special settlement in the shares of the respective undertakings, viz., the London and Colonial Bank, the Buenos Ayres Great Southern Railway, the Vancouver Coal Min ing Company, and the Venezuelan Government Loan Scrip, and transactions in all of them are to be officially recorded.

LOUIS.— PLymouTH, Friday Evening. —One of the seamen belong ing to this ship, J. Stefano, a Greek, has brought a letter from her boatswain, Maitre Renard, dated Oct. 28, which states that he and eight others (including the Greek) were picked up from a boat by the English ship John Edward, from Alexandria, last from Falmouth, which landed them at the Lizard Point,. They intended to proceed in a steam ship to Liverpool. Eighteen of the crew are now not ac counted for; of these Capt. Fabza and his nephew, a sea man, are reported to be drowned. At the present moment —now that the n Elector of There Hesse Cassel has slipped out of view —th e Kg of Prus sia tre seems to be the very Prince of Unr eason. T h tt e eei and considering the history of his eccentric fam e 'ray be - probably are grounds of excu e for him ; but h e isY inched supported, made a tool of, by a clique of old Tories an d le : ligious sentimentalists : and be has no more use of his rea son than the most boorish child in his dominions has of his analytical faculty. 'Professing fidelity to the Constitution while throwing it overboard; making professions towards his people while snatching from them their rights, and in sulting them whenever he opens his lips to them ; a student of history, and therefore aware of the career of the Stuarts and the Bourbons, he is following in the footsteps of both. Confident of an opposite re.ult to himself, his son, and his people. For insensibility to reality, for course irreverence towards the noblest human faculties; and a selfish prefer ence for the lower —for neglect of reason and fact, and in dulgence in sentiment a li sm an d i mag ination, no age can have produced a more flagrant instance than the present at illg of Pruseia,—Once a TPcgt LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS. .--_ Railways.

Ol\T.'9 CRIMINAL COURT---TH. IS DAY POLICE-TITIS DAY. Busineas don 59f OLD COURT. (Before the Lord Chief Baron.) THE EXTENSIVE COMMERCIAL FRAUDS IN THE CITY- 103 j i I VERDICT AND SENTENCE. 1 The trial of David Braun and Benjamin Kotoski, who ' are described as merchants in th e City, and having a fi rm in Canada, who were i n di c t e d f or a con spiracy in falsifying the entries in their b oo k s an d accoun ts after their bank ruptcy, with a vi ew t o d e f rau d th e i r creditors, and which was commenced on Th urs d a y, occu pying the whole of that day and yesterd a y, was resume d thi s mo rning. The evidence on the part of the prosecution, which was closed last night, was for the moss part of a very volumi nous and intricate character, and documentary. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, with Mr. Metcalfe, conducted the case on the part of the prosecution, and Mr. R. P. Col lier, Q.C., specially retained; Mr. H. Gifford, Mr. Sargood, of the Bankruptcy bar, and Mr. F. IL Lewis, appeared for the defendants. Mr. R. P. Collier, in a very lengthened and earnest speech, addressed the jury, contending that the evidence entirely failed in maintaining the charge of conspiracy with intent to defraud, but did not call any witnesses. The learned Judge in his summing up went through the whole of the evidence, and commented in strong terms on the conduct of the defendants in obtaining goods to the enormous amount of £36,000, and transmitting them to Canada out of the reach of the creditors. The jury retired to consider their verdict, and, after an absence of twelve minutes, returned into court and deli vered a verdict of guilty against both prisoners. Mr. Metcalfe said that on the part of the assignees, who had only acted in the prosecution for the Protection of the public, as regarded the defendant Brann they desired to re commend him to the consideration of the Court, believing that he was influenced in what he did by the other de fendant, Kotoski. woman was known, The learned Judge said he agreed there was a distinction in the two cases, and should mark his sense of the fact ; it was a source of vast mischief to the commercial credit of this country, that the defendants should have obtained so large an amount of property and transferred it to Canada, where no doubt the money was paid for them ; but the creditors here found their goods gone, and no assets to pay for them. The sentence on Brann would be two months' imprison ment; but in that of Kotoski, it would be 12 months. The defendants appeared to have expected the sentence would have been more severe. Mr. R•. P. Collier said there was another indictment against the defendants for felony. Mr. Metcalfe said he did not propose to offer any evidence on that. A formal verdict of acquittal on that indictment was then taken. The trial of an old man for rape terminated the business of the session. 7HE BEGINNING OF THE END. To say that gold has risen to 33 per cent. pre mium is a plesant way of stating that paper money has depreciated 33 per cent. Practically, in their conversation and reports, the Wall -street financiers make paper the standard, and talk as if gold had risen above the standard. The fact is, as they and everybody else know, that gold is the standard, and that paper has fallen below this standard and is at a large discount. In a word, the one dollar bill yon have in your portmonnaie is worth, accord ing to yesterday's quotations, only 67c. That in formation affects you in quite a different way from the stereotyped announcement that gold has risen. You do not care how high gold may rise so long as . your bank bills are at par. The delicate sophism of the money changers leads you to forget that it is not gold that rises, but paper money that falls. Every time that the premium on gold inc: eases the bills in your pocket lose in value. Your riches, if they happen to be in paper money, take to them selves wings and fly away in spite of you. You find that the prices of coals, of flour, of butter, of dry goods, of clothing, of all the common neces saries of life, also rise with gold. The main secret of this rise is that the merchants with whom you deal can only give you 67c.-worth of articles for your dollar bill, worth only 67c.; and so they raise their prices in order to balance the discount on paper. If you can afford to hold on to your bills till the war is over they may regain their original value. If you must part with them now—and nearly every one must—then you are certain to suffer. It being understood, there fore, that the rise in gold is really a deprecia tion in the value of paper, the people inquire who is responsible for this great depreciation. We answer, Secretary Chase and the present Congress. The Treasury Department has been most grossly mis managed. Secretary Chase had a sound system of finance prepared for him by practical men, but he does not know how to manage it. If this system now in operation had been properly carried out paper could not have depreciated more than 8 per cent. by this time. There is nothing either in the condition of the country or the position of our armies to justify the present large depreciation. If the war had been weighing upon us for ten years, and our prospects of success were still doubt ful, then there might be some excuse for such a pre mium upon gold. But the war lasted but a year and a half, and its fortunes are indisputably in our favour, and still, on the very days that great Union victories are announced ti , e, premium on gold in creases. Clearly, th en , t h ere i s m i sma nagement in the Treasury Depart ment. If Secre t ar y Chase had pressed upon Cong ress at the opening o f its last session the immedi ate necess i ty o f a Tax Bill , and had follow e d thi s up by a Tariff Bill, a Bankrupt Bill, a n d a bil l tax i ng local banks , .roe should h ave h a d none o f this trouble , end the legal tender notes would now be but little if at all depreciated. Instead of this, Secretary Chase seemed contented with the passage of the acts authorising the issue of legal tender notes. The Tariff Bill was passed some time later. The Bankrupt Bill and the bill taxing banks were not passed at all. The Tax Bill was at last forced on the stupid, timid, ignorant Congressmen by public opinion speaking through the unanimous press. In the meantime Secretary Chase devoted himself to interfering with the War Department, intriguing for and against our Generals, and organizing a Radical Abolition political party, with a view to the next Presidency. The bills for supporting and maintaining his legal tender currency were post poned. The Confiscation and Emancipation Bill is delayed, as the military draught has been, for fear of influencing the elections. This is sacri ficing the nation to a party most remorselessly. It is not to late to remedy all this, however. The example of William Pitt, who carried England through a long war by a judicious system of taxa tion, loans, and legal tender currency, should be studied attentively by Secretary Chase. Let the Tax Bill be enforced so as to supply the Govern ment with money, and, with the Tariff Bill, form the basis of the currency. Then let Congress at its _ next session pass a bill taxing banks, so as to re - strict the bank circulation, and thus prevent the country being deluged with two kinds of paper money—that of the Government and that of the local banks. Then let a Bankrupt Bill be passed to liberate those of our business men who have their hands tied by old debts resulting from former failures. This done—and with the ordinary chances of war in our favour—the premium upon gold can be reduced to at least 5 per cent. If Secretary Chase were to retire from the Cabinet, and give place to a better financier, this result would be indubitably hastened.—. New York Herald.

The Count and Countess de Trani have elso arrived at Marseilles.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF BURGLARY. - Peter Clare, a private in the Royal Marines, was charged with breaking and entering the dwelling house of Mr. John Wilson, of 21, Brompton-row. Mr. Wilson stated that at between two and three o'clock this morning ho was disturbed by hearing some one in his garden, and the breaking of a window. He went down stairs and found the prisoner there in the kitchen. He was drunk. Mr. Paynter.—How dil he get in? Mr. Wilson—The servant had neglected to fasten the shutter of the kitchen, and prisoner having opened the win dow, forced it back. Mr. Paynter (to prisoner)—What have you to say to this ? Prisoner—l throw myself entirely upon your mercy. I don't know anything that happened. Mr. Poynter—Your offence is even greater than being found in the house for a felonous purpose. You have broken the house. Prisoner—l am sure lam very sorry. Police-constable -William Stratton, 344 B, said he 'ound the ririsonOr 'in the kitchen; ha did not say any- thing. The Clerk—Was he in his uniform as now ? Witness—Yes, with the exception of his trousers; he had no trousers on. Mr. Paynter—No trousers on. Witness—No; he had taken them off and left them on the garden wall. Prisoner—lt seems I was going to turn in; it is not likely if I knew what I was about that I should take my trousers off out of doors. Mr. Paynter—llow came you at Brompton last night ? Prisoner—l left Chatham yesterday afternoon on leave of absence till Monday. My pass and return railway ticket were found in my pocket. The police-constable produced them. Prisoner —I had been to see a friend in Leader-street, and I don't know what occurred afterwards. I had no inten tion of doing wrong Mr. Paynter —Perhaps you had not, but you alarmed this family in the dead of the night, and ought to be very sorry. Through your intoxication you make yourself ap pear a burglar, but as it is clear to me that it was all through drink I shall discharge you. SOUTHWARK. DARING ROBBERY AT A RAILWAY STATION, AND LENIENT SENTENCE.—Thomas Hunter, a smart-looking young fellow, was brought before Mr. Burcham, by Ser geant Scannell, of the detective police, charged with steal ing a pocket-book from the person of Mr. W. B. Kitchen, on the platform of the South-Eastern Railway, London bridge. Mr. William Head, one of the inspectors in the employ of the company, said that on the previous afternoon he saw the prisoner on the arrival platform of the North Kent Railway, just as a train was about to start for Dover. There was considerable bustle at the time, on account of the train arriving an i another leaving. Witness saw the pri-oner busy among the crowd, and as he was leading an elderly gentleman towards a carriage, the prisoner was given into his custody for stealing a pocket-book from a gentleman named Kitchen, who proceeded by the mail train to the Continent, therefore he was unable to pro- secute. George Snooks, one of the porters in the employ of the company. said he was performing his duty on the plat form of toe main line when he saw a gentleman seize hold of the prisoner and call out, " You vagabond, you have stolen my pocket-book." Witness went up to the spot and caught hold of the prisoner, on which he threw the pocket book produced at witness's feet. He picked it up, and Mr. Kitchen identified it as his property; and as he was going to Germany he was unable to attend to prosecute. Mr. Burcham asked if anything was known of the pri soner. Sergeant Scannell replied that he did not exactly know him, but from the manner in which he committed the rob bery no aoubt he was an expert thief. Mr. Burcham asked the prisoner whether he would be tried by him or go to the sessions. The prisoner eagerly embraced his worship's offer and pleaded guilty, when Mr. Burcham said that although there was no evidence to show that he had been committed before, he had nod ,übt he was an experienced thief. He should therefore sentence him to six months' hard labour at Wandsworth. THAMES. AUDACIOUS BURGLARY AND ROBBERY. - Richard Johnstone, a youth of 19, and described as a labourer, whose address was refused, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with feloniously and burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mr. John Page, engraver and printer, No. 3, Saville-place, Mile-end-road, and stealing property and money to the amount of about £lO therefrom. Mr. Page fastened his house up and secured the doors and windows in the usual manner before he went to bed at 11 o'clock last night. This morning at a quarter before two, he was aroused from his sleep by a loud knocking, and found the police in the house. He got up, and the first thing he missed was a pair of trousers. They had been removed from his bedside. On going down-stairs he dis covered that an entrance had been obtained by forcing back the catch of the kitchen window, cutting away the wooden frame and withdrawing the bolts. A good deal of property, including three coats, three tunics, a scarf, three waistcoats, two pairs of boots, a cruet stand, three petticoats, and 15s. 9d. in money were missing from several rooms. A great portion of the property was recovered. It was found made up into a bundle under the kitchen window. The money was in Mr. Page's trousers pocket when he went to bed, and he did not recover it again. John Cock, 6, Windsor-terrace, Canal-road, was on his way home at one o'clock this morning, and saw the prisoner and a tall man coming towards him from the direction of Mr. Page's house. He asked them what they did there, and the man replied "All right, mate." Cock made an attempt to stop him, on which the fellow raised a heavy stick. Cock considered it prudent to let him pass, but caught the prisoner as he was running past him, and de tained him until a policeman named Bagwell, 328 K, made his appearance. Bagwell secured the prisoner, and upon searching him found a petticoat stolen from a room in Mr. Page's house, under the waistband of his trousers. Other property was missing, which there is no doubt was in the possession of the prisoner's accomplice. Mr. Selfe—ls the accomplice known? Bagwell replied in the affirmative, and said the prisoner was a notorious thief, and had been in custody several times. Mr. Selfe remanded the prisoner for a week. THE AMERICAN MINISTER AND THE LIFE-BOAT SERVICE.—During the fearful gales that prevailed in the Irish Channel on Sunday night week the American ship Annie E. Hooper, of Baltimore, was driven on the Horse bank on the Lancashire coast. Immediately the perilous position of the ship was seen, on Monday morning, the Lytham life-boat, of the National Life-boat Institution, was launched and towed to windward by the Loch Lomon d steamer. After having been cast off by the steamer, the . e. , life-boat had to go through a tremendously heavy i ; We l broken water, which filled her three times, but o w n h the ' part rapidly self-ejected. With great perseverance on much of the crew she at last reached the ship, d difficulty took off 13 of the crew and a Liverpoolesna the rope by was on board. After taking off the 14 meH, pilot who parted, bat the which the life-boat was held to the sh g to the Southport life-boat, which also be National tieethe time and took off Institution, fortunately came three men.

The traffic receipts of railways in the United Kingdom amounted for the week ending the 25th of October, on 10,499 miles, to £560,020, and for the corresponding week of last year, on 10,186 miles, to £550,480, showing an in crease of 313 miles, and of £9,540 in the receipts. The gross receipts on the following 14 railways amounted in the aggregate, on 7,221 miles, to £446,386; and for the corres ponding week of 1861, on 7,006 miles, to £434,869, show ing an increase of 215 miles, and of £11,517 in the receipts. The increase on the Caledonian amounted to £163 ; on the Great Eastern to £313 ; on the Great Northern to £1,387 ' on the Great Southern and Western to £403 • on the Great Western to £3,706; on the London and North. Western to £2,592; on the London, Brighton, and South Coast to £2,013; on the London an d outh-Western to 1:1,881 ; on the North British, to £32 ; the North-Eastern, to £1,383 ; and on the South-Eastern, to £1,596 ; total, £15,474. But from this must be deducted £2,575, the de crease on the Lancashire and Yorkshire; £1,337 on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire; and £45 on the Midland ; together, £3,157, leaving the increase, as above, £11,517. The goods and mineral traffic on those lines amounted to £231,181, and for the corresponding week of 1861 to £237,398, showing a decrease of £6,217. The re ceipts for passengers, parcels, &c., amounted to £215,205, against £197,471, showing an increase of £17,734. The traffic receipts on 64 other lines amounted, on 3,279 miles, to £113,634, and for the corresponding week of last year, on 3,180 miles, to £115,611, show ing a decrease of 99 miles, and of £1,977 iu the receipts. The increase in the passen. ger traffic of the past week, as compared with the corre sponding period of 1861, arises chiefly from the Interna tional Exhibition and excursion traffic ; and the decrease in the goods traffic from depression in trade. The total receipts of the past week show a decrease of £20,898 as compared with those of the preceding week, ending the 18th of October. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR TILE WEEK. Miles Opened. Receipts.

The attendance at the Exhibition to-day was very great, and as the hour of closing its doors approached the ex citement became intense. At three o'clock Messrs. War ner's peal of bells began to ring out their well !mown chime, and this appeared to animate every person with a desire to redouble their movements in order to get a parting glimpse of the treasures that for the last six months have been the chief objects of attraction to every v i s it or. The Koh-i-noor was besieged, ditto the Reading Girl, a n d the same may be said of the Egyptian Jewels, the French Court and the Picture Galleries, in fact the whole building presented such an extraordinary appearance that a hurried description is impossible. As four o'clock approached the company began to move towards the western dome, as it became generally known that the National Anthem was to be performed as a sort of closing ceremony. At about five minutes past tha hour the great organ of the Messrs. Walker began to peal forth its powerful tones, and then arose the magnificent strain of the National Anthem. The verses being sung by a body of ladies in the galleries, and the chorus by the whole assemblage. At the conclusion „of the Anthem, a gentleman raised the Union Jack from the centre of the dais, which was the signal for long and tremendous cheering, amidst which the greatest Exhibition the world ever saw was brought to a termination. At three o'clock upwards of 32,000 persons had entered the building ; but, up W as late as a few minutes to four, the public continued paying for admission. A YANKEE FILIBUSLER IN CHINA, We find in:the Shanghai correspondence of the New York Herald a curious sketch of Col. Ward, the American, who now occupies a high command under the Imperial Government of China : Two or three years ago the mate of a coasting vessel cams to Shanghai. He was neither better nor worse than mates usually are. He was a green, boyish-looking fellow, with a fair skin and long black hair, which fell in glossy waves to his shoulders. There was no very great peculiarity about him, except that his eye showed a vigorous constitution and a most indomitable pluck. He was pretty hard up and was unknown. He appeared hardly old enough to have been much of an adventurer; yet his life had been a romance from the first. He had been with Walker in his earlier ex peditions, and had had a taste of civil warfare in the South American States, But it was not in the petty struggles of such marauders alone that he had been schooled. He hind been in the Crimea during the terrible war which was en acted there. He had seen the world, in fact. He had occu pied almost every position in the social scale, and at last came to Shanghai the mate of a coasting vessel, sound in health and the owner of a good deal more brains than people generally gave him credit for. His name was then plain Frederick Ward. The rebels were pinching Shanghai sadly, and the Impe rialists couldn't help themselves. Thirty miles or so up the Norsung river was a city called Soonkong, a very strong city, like all Chinese cities of importance, surrounded with high stone walls, outside of which was a deep ditch always filled with water. This was the sore place, and the rebels might be coming out some fine day and make a descent upon Shanghai. The Imperialists couldn't take the city ; 'it was beyond their abilities, and they would pay a handsome price to get it. So 1% and entered into a contract with them, and promised to take the city for forty thousand taels. He was taken up, and a little while after he, in company with SO Manillamen, surprised the city of 7,000 rebels, took it by storm, and then very quietly pocketed his forty thousand taels, receiving hardly a scratch in the encounter. This was all very well ; but the fellow's blood was up, and he wanted to take another city some thirty miles beyond iSoonkong, where the rebels: had retired and intrenched themselves more strongly than before. The Touti-chin chinned him ex ceedingly, and told him to g o in. He did go in, or, at least, as far as the walls, and fell, shot in three places. He did not die, however , but fell back upon Shanghai l . to recover from his wounds and plan another campaign. ' He was cut again in a few weeks, but with a hole in the roof of his mouth .of the eize of a cherry stone, which gave a sort of nasal twang to his speech. Meanwhile the gazettes came down from Pekin, announcing his promo tion to the rank of colonel. He became.a Chinese subject, married a Chinese woman of the small-footed kind—the worst thing he ever did—and was created a mandarin of the blue button. One day Col. Ward received a polite invita tion to dine on board H.M.S. Urgent, Capt. Hire. Putting perfect faith in the invitation, and unsuspicious of under handed measures, the colonel went aboard at the time ap pointed, was seized by order of the captainand put in irons. News of the occurrence spread rapidly through the settle ment. Americans protested against it, and even threatened to use force in his liberation. Ward swearing to the fact of his being a Chinese subject he was discharged. By and by , down came the rebels again, making a furious demonstra tion against Shanghai. Big English hongs wrote down to Hong Kong for naval assistance, and up came the Admiral to see what the row was. He went up to Soonkong in the Coromandel, and was much astonished. He found an army of Chinamen there, dressed in foreign costume, carry ing foreign arms, and well drilled in the evolutions of foreign tactics. He found foreign officers to each company, and he found the great mover of it all, Col. Ward. Admi ral Hope liked Ward as soon as he became acquainted with: cthe him; so the French a n d the En g lish Admirals and the French forces, forcesan d they lea n e d C o l one l consulted, and planned out a campaign against the rebels. Ward's Chin am en were placed alongside the Eng lish didn't r edbieslgsr out ace prettythem - • se lv e s a . u l d V Well, the allied e ffectually, news of which reached Pekin, and shortly came the gazettes announcing that Ward was promoted to the rank of general, and had his button raised another grade. -Ward landed in Shanghai with a suit of clothes and six Mexican dollars. He is now, at a moderate computation, worth as many hu n d re d th ou s a nd. He has the most san guine ideas about crushing the rebellion in C hi na ,, a lbeit his progress thus far has not been much to boast of. He has:offered Prince Kung to do it for ten millions of dollars, and the Prince asserts that such a reward would be insig nificant in comparison with the extent of the labour. He is now quietly drilling his new recruits and swelling his army daily, preparing for the next approach of winter. Dozens are applying every day to join him—members of the police force, marines and sailors from the men of war and the shipping: but he is very judicious in taking them into his employ. He has now some 30 or 40 European offi cers under him, and has his head-quarters at Soonkong, where the striciest discipline is enforced. HYDROPHOBIA.—A melancholy case of hydro phobia has just occurred at Lyons. Madame X—, a lady of good property, was bitten by a favourite dog in May last, the animal at the time labouring under that dreadful malady. Everything was done at the time to prevent any ill consequences, but a few days since the lady was seized in her turn, and in 43 hours expired. She re t a ined her faculties to the last, and was able to dis p ose a shehoperty and receive the consolations of religion. when felt the v i o lent paroxysms of the disease coming on she w ould not allow any one to remain near he r, fearing that s he might do them harm.—Galignani.
