(From the A nylo American 7Ymes.) The great, gold fight occupied the chief attenticn of the American people during the week ending October 2. Many doubtful points have arisen to cause discussion, so we will as briefly as possible tell the tale. The Gold clique had been formed some time before of unscrupulous men who had close►y watched the current of events, and foresaw the q g momenta just 20 per uine article• UTUAL LOAN FUND ASSOCIATION (Incorrated Act of Parliament, 18 59), 14, RUSSELL-STREET COVENT-GARDEN.

MOSELY, the Dentist by special appoint ment, 312, REGENT- STREET, exactly opposite the lioyal Polytechnic. Established 1820. This, the most perfected system of pditless dentistry, originated and invented by Mr. B. L. iosely, is r .comitieuded by the Hospitals- and adopted by the profession as ono of the greatest improve ments of the age for the alleviation of pain and restoration of the natural functions, can solely be obtained in such perfected success (the result of forty years' practical ex perience) at his only residence, 312, Regent, street. The superlative excellence of this system is perfect immunity from pain, no operations, stumps, and decayed teeth ren dered useful, loose teeth and tender gums protected. Qualities : These teeth never change colour or decay—in fit unerring—ease and comfort unsurpassed--detection impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully studied —and youthful appearance restored—mastication and articulation guaranteed. The " Times" of March 6 says :—" So good an imitation becomes the next hest thing to the original." Teeth from 55.; sets, 5 to 30 guineas. Consultation free.—Only address, 312, Regent-street, exactly facing the Royal Polytechnic. possibility of making a successful rail on business. l'he rnovemeats of the leaders were cautious at first, so gradually raising the price as to leave the impres sion on the rublie mind that the fluctuations were natural. In the biddings received for the Government gold it is now observed that the firm of Smith, Gould, Marten, and Co., the leaders of the clique, had offered a price considerably above other competitors, but it was not till the 22d of September, when they had gathered in the greater portion of the gold in circulation, that the real raid comm3need. Oa the opening that day it stood at 1371, at the close at 141, while from the rooms, after regular hours, many of the brokers adjourned to the Fifth Avenue Hotel to continue their operations. A necessary object was first to break down railway and other stocks, to generate a feeling of panic, and this was thoroughly accomplished, the New York Central falling nearly 24 ; the Hudson River and Harlem and others only in a lesser proportion. Having worked the market into a state of excitement and uncertainty, on the next day the clique rapidly advanced the price to 144. The many men with large commitments be came feverish with alarm, and the wildest rumours followed each other in rapid succession. The diffi culty with Spain was made the most of, and lead ing operators, upon whose course their followers had calculated with certainty, were declared to be traitors using them as tools, even Secretary Bout well's name being freely bandied in connection with the clique. It was in this state with the gold bulls so far successful, and a determined effort on the part of the bears to save themselves from an im pending ruin, that the celebrated Friday opened, the day on which the enterprising Fisk, junior, had promised to smash Wall-street.

The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to as sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Uncballengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assuio on the ground that, i n; ne event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will espe cially commend itself, being entirely free from all condi tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause whatever; while at the same time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every premium paid. bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually paid may boar to the whole number origi nally contracted to be paid. Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance. _ FIRE and LIFE ASSURANCES may bo effected on advantageous terms.

Soon the throng became dense, for it was known throughoutt he country that the decisive moment had arrived. The earliest transactions were at 145, but the " bulls" still continuing their successful on slaught by the time the Gold Room opened at 10 o'clock had worked it up, so that the indicator first marked 150. The Gold Room is an amphitheatre, with a railed fountain in the centre, and a gallery for spectators, who when strangers look down in amazement on the maniacs operating below. The jet throws up a feeble, tiny spray, little calculated to damp or cool the frenzy raging around.

Creditors anuity; the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. Every Policy issued on this plan will be without any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actual securities. In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, end others holding policies of this class as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengoable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies.

The directors draw special attention to the fact (hit the next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year 1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate iu the same, The directors also draw attention to tho successful esta blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc tors believe that" the establishment of a Fire Company, to work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital fu n d s an d constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct. By order of the Board, JOHN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary.

It is stated that the Bariogs alone telegraphed to their New York correspondent that they had placed $12,000,000 of gold at his disposal in the Bank of England, and the rumour struck a chill into the " bull;" that foreign bankers had made arrange ments immediately to flood the city with gold. Suddenly the prize fell to 161, and shortly after followed the announcement that Mr. Boutwell, giving way to the solicitation of the President, had ordered a sale of $4,000,000, and was prepared to sell in much larger quantities. The already falling tide was accelerated, and became more rapid by far than had been the advance. Every minute the in dicator marked one leas, and the heated telegraph wires, melting under the stream of electricity, every where announced that the bubble had burst, and the market was •apidly resuming its natural tone. But the clique still desperately combated the decline, so we believe it actually occurred that in one part of the room where their force prevailed the price was 145, while in another part it was 135. They had, however, become discredited, and the now triumphant " bears" fearing for the solvency of the discomfited clique, began to tremble for the differences in cases where they had sold for over 160. Down went the indicator till by half an hour after noon it marked 133, when the fight was at an end. The auger displayed against James Fisk, junior, held to be the prime mover in the disturbance, was uncon trollable; and when a mob assembled in front of the house where he was he had the hardihood to come out and commence a speech, which was quickly cut short by a blow on the face from the man who was nearest, when, fortunately for him, some police appeared on the scene, or the cry to hang him to a lamp-post might have knelled his doom. The moment the bulls had been fairly beaten the aspect of affairs changed. Nobody then seemed to take any interest in gold, which was left to take care of itself. What all thought of was their and their neighbours' accounts—the differences—the probability of being able to settle their own liabilities and the chances of being paid. The stormy, energetic, pushing crowd around the fountain subsided into a few gloomy dejected individuals. The " street" had be come the scene of the uproar, and there the rutnoars prevailing related to failed houses. Among these was said to be the Gold Exchange Bank, where the clearances are made. Hampered by the enormous business of Thursday they were crushed by that of Friday, when the transactions amounted to $500,000,000. On Saturday the Gold Room ad journed till mid-day the next Monday to give the Bank time to straighten out its accounts. Monday came, and still the hopeless lock; Tuesday, and it was yet the same tale ; and on all sides the dealers were pressed for a settlement, while their gold was locked up in the Exchange Bank. Smith, Gould, Marten, and Company, got out an injunction against the Bank to present claims they did not admit being paid. Some assert that the house did no more than what they were justified in doing, and they maintain that had they acceded to the exaggerated demands, widespread ruin might have followed, and that in protecting themselves they prevented a panic, as nearly every gold broker in the " street" was linked with them. Mr. Augustus Brown, of the firm of Brown, Hall, and Vanderpool, was appointed receiver to the . Gold Exchange Bank. The failures embrace the great old house of Lockwood and Co., of whom the senior partner, William Legrand Lockwood, is well known for his hospitality at his fine residence at THE HOSPITAL for WOMEN, Soho-square. —Bankers : Messrs.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f. 15a. per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 128.104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is slightly dearer inlParis than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at GO days sight was 1071 per cent. on the 19th inst. At this rate tiler would be a loss on the transmission of gold from the United States.
