MONEI MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two. O'CLOCK. Increased activity has been apparent during the last few days in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Tea has been very firm, and some of the better qualities of congou have improved d. per lb. In sugar the inquiry for exportation has been active, and for home consumption the demand has been steady, good qualities showing an upward tendency. Coffee has,been in rather less demand, but superior qualities of Plantation Ceylon maintain their pre vious value. Rice has been dull, but rum and . fruit have shown an improvement; new currants being in good demand, and at advanced rates. Saltpetre continues firm. The public sales of indigo have proceeded with very little animation, and a large quantity has been withdrawn, previous Prices in several instances not being realised. Tallow continues steady, owing to the limited arrivals. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed with a flat appearance, but prices remained un altered. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales, 500 of which were taken on speculation. A fair amount of business was transacted in the Railway Share Market, but quotations slighly receded., Notwithstanding the reported increase in the demand for silver on Eastern account, and the ex- Peetation that the next two or three steamers for India and China would take out larger con signments than of late, it appears that the Ceylon, which is appointed to leave on the 25 th, will only convey £90,020. If the exports thither are kept down to this low average, and the efflux to the Continent is not materially aug mented, a further accumulation of bullion at the Bank is almost certain. At the correspond ing Period of last year, the steamer for the East left with over three-quarters of a million ster ling, the diversion of specie in that direction alone then being a million and a quarter to a million and a half sterling per month. There is now some prospe c t o f a partial reflux from China, through the payment of the English and French in demnity, and it is questioned whether our commercial operations with the various ports coofnfotrhmie ty Celesti a l Empire now opened in with the new treaty, will leave henceforth so large a balance against this country, to be paid for in silver, as has been the case, until recently, for the last five or six years. The pro motion of trade and 'the increased facilities to be afforded for the interchange of mer chandise will, it is thought, obviate this inconvenience, for although the demand on our part for tea and silk may not largely increase, there is every Probability of our being enabled to find an extended market for our various manufactures. Shonld this prove the case, the general balance of. payments would of course be reduced to smaller proportions than have been witnessed in late years. There seems no:immediate prospect of any new outlet for the absorptiou of specie, but on the * other hand it. is not improbable that British Columbia will shortly vie with Australia and California in the production of the precious metal, the accounts, received up to this time justifying the most, sanguine opinions as to the extent and accessi bility of the auriferous deposits of the Fraser River. There has not been much animation at the Stock tx ehangeto-day, but, upon the whole, values have been tolerably well maintained. The speculators seem to be waiting for some great event in connec tion with the favourable course of monteary affairs which they may enlarge their - transaction's. It for example, the minimum should be ad justed at 21 per cent. an impulse would, no doubt, be given to the market; but, on the ° ther hand, although the operators at present are n ot inclined for Bear. transactions, there can be .no doubt that a further decline in the exchanges, if foll .owed by increased 'shipments of specie, would atb luilate speculative sales.

THE FRIENDS OF LABOUR.--IMPORTANT QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.L-SMITH V. TEAL. Mr. Jay appeared for the plaintiff, secretary to the No. 2 branch of the Friends of Labour, and Mr. Hockley Wood for the defendant, proprietor of that well-known place of entertainment yclept The Rye House. An objection was taken by Mr. Wood on the question of jurisdiction, but his Honour decided that it was necessary for plaintiff to state his case before the objections could be ;taken into consideration. Mr. Jay then stated that the amount sought to be recovered was £4 9s. Bd. for printing and other expenses, incurred by plaintiff under the following circumstances. On April 2 plaintiff called upon defendant at the Rye House (which is in Hertfordshire), and engaged the grounds exclusively for the 19th July. This was done in order to avoid a collision with another branch of the body under the direction of a Mr. Parker. There was a feud between,the two branches. His Honour—Oh! they were friends of labour but not friends amongst themselves. (Laughter.) Mr. Jay—Well, Mr. Teal agreed to let them his grounds exclusively for the day above named, and accordingly plaintiff issued tickets and had printed bills posted announcing the excursion to the public. But, lo I upon a certain day he discovered to his amazement that defendant had let the grounds to the obnoxious Parker and his party on the very 19th of July, the exclusive day. As a man of peace plaintiff could not go ; and as he, through defen dant's own breach of faith, expended and lost £4 9s. Bd., he thought he was entitled to recover that sum. Mr. Smith was - called, and stated that the printing and other work was done in the Bagnigge-wella=road. He also confirmed the statement made by Mr. Jay, and added that defendant knew of the quarrel that existed between his (de fendant's) and Mr. Parker's branches. In his cross-exa mination plaintiff said he believed the grounds would ac commodate 4,000 or 5,000 persons. On the excursion they (No. 2 branch) proposed, there would probably have been 2,000. Mr. Wood—Then there would have been room for Parker's body. Plaintiff—Not comfortably. His Honour—Oh I Mr. Wood does not consider the quantity of space required for combustible bodies. _ Mr. Wood then objected to thejurisdiction, on the ground that the contract was made in Hertfordshire. Mr. jay contended that the work was done in London. His Honour said—From letters that had been handed up to him he could clearly see that defendant had made a con tract and broken it. An objection had been made which was fatal, as the cause of action arose in Hertfordshire. He (his Honour) thought it unwise to insist on the objection. If defendant insisted, it was fatal. If he was so f on d o f litigation as to make it, the cause must be struck out. Mr. Wood—l do insist, and now ask for costs. His Honour—Certainly' not. I have no jurisdiction. (Laughter.) There is a clear breach of contract in black and white. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, —(This Day)• THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 19, 1858. nothing to eat. I had no mean's of getting anything for I her. Mr. Yardley . —And you robbed this poor man? The Prisoner—Yes, I did, sir. I took the money out o: his box and locked it again. Mr. Yardley—You robbed this poor hard working man of his all, his hard earned savings, which he intended for his wife. I know how hard letter-carriers earn their money, and he must have been frugal and careful to have saved so much. His wife and family must suffer by this cruel rob bery. You (prisoner), a worthless fellow, presume to marry at 18 years of age, and not having the courage or reso lution to work to support your wife, rob this poor man. It is a very sad case indeed. I sentence you (the prisoner) to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the i House of Correction for six calendar months. The magistrate then addressed the prosecutor, and said there was a sovereign at his disposal from the poor-box fund if he would accept it. The prosecutor, much agitated, said, " Thank your Honour ; I will accept it, and send it over to Ireland to my wife and family." lAntwerp & Rotterdam Ardennes BahAS.Fran.,Lim.7p.c. Belgian East.

ILLEGAL DETENTION OP A SHIP'S REGISTEIL—The plaintiff, Mr. Anthony Hall, master of the ship Emery, of Stockton, lying at North Woolwich, applied for and ob tained a summons against Mr. Thomas George Gibson, solicitor, Gresham-street, under the statute 17 and 18 Vic., cap. 304, sec. 50, for the illegal detention of the certificate of the ship's register, under a claim of debt. It appeared from the evidence that the ship had been mortgaged, and the mortgagee had put a man in possession. Mr. Edwin Fox, auctioneer, was appointed captain. The complainant said he was still captain of the ship, that - no new captain was appointed, that he was entitled to the ship's certificate of register as captain of the ship, and that the certificate was surreptitiously obtained from him ; but he was willing to give it up on payment of £35 due to him. The Lord Mayor recommended the parties to settle it amongst themselves, but, as they could not do so, his lord ship ordered 'the certificate to be given up to the com plainant. Mr. Buchanan, solicitor, appeared for the complainant. BOW-STREET. ASSAULTING THE POLICE.--A young man, who' gave the name of South, was placed at the bar, charged with being drunk and assaulting the police. Police-constable 161 said--I was on duty last night in Holborn, when my attention was attracted to the prisoner, who, in company with two other men, was creating a dis turbance. I went up to them and told them to be quiet and go home. The prisoner said he should be quiet and go home when he chose, without being dictated to by a police man. I turned round to speak to the other man, when the prisoner came behind me and struck me a violent blow on the left side of the head. I immediately seized him, and a struggle ensued, during which my hat was lost for some time. I succeeded in obtaining assistance, and after a great deal of trouble I got the prisoner to thq station-house. He was very drunk. Mr. Henry---What have you to say to striking the policeman ? _ Prisoner—l was drunk, and I don't recollect anything about it. Mr. Henry—l :cannot take that 'as any excuse. I fine you lOs., or, in default of payment, commit you to prison for five days. The fine was paid. MARKET ROBBERY.---Ellen Costello, a woman of more than ordinary plainness, was charged with stealing a bundle of horseradish from the stall of Mr. Black; a sales man in Covent-garden-market. A sharp lad, named Butler, said—l am in the employ of Mr. Black, and in consequence of directions given to me by my uncle, who is also in the same service, I was directed to watch the things about the stall, as two bundles of horseradish had been stolen from a.parcel of six, which had been placed aside to be sent into the country. After I had been watching some tithe, I saw two " ladies," the prisoner and another, come up to the stall, when one said, " All right," and the "lady" there (the prisoner at the bar) took up the bundle of horseradish, put it under her shawl with her right hand, and walked away. I immediately told my uncle, when he followed' the lady, and getting in front of her, put his hand on her shoulder to bring her back to the stall, when I saw her throw away the bundle of horse radish I now hold in my hand. The boy's evidence having been strengthened by that of other witnesses, Mr. Henry asked the prisoner what she had to say to the charge ? Prisoner—Oh, your worship, I,never took the stuff. I've three small babies at home, and it's not to be supposed I'd steal horseradish. What's to become of the three babies ? Mr. Henry—Where do you live, and how do you get your living? Prisoner—l live in Wild-street,. and I lodge at a green grocer's shop, but they sells nothing but coals and taters. I sell anything I can get, whet it's in season. The boy must be mistaken. I wouldn't go for to do anything of the sort. I'm a 'onest woman. Mr. Henry—The boy says he saw you throw the stolen property from you. Prisoner--Oh, no, he dithet i your worship. What's to come of my three babies? Mr. Henry—Well, is you have said you are an honest woman, and have given your address, I shall remand you till to-morrow, in order that the police may make a few in quiries about you and your mode of living, THAMES. CRUEL ROBBERY AND CONVICTION OP THE THIEF.— Fitzgerald Doyle, aged 19, a dirty, rough, and dissipated looking blackpiard, was brought before Mr; Yardley, charged with stealing five sovereigns, the monies of Ber nard Timothy. The complainant, a middle-aged, respectable, well-con ducted man, said he was a letter-carrier and was now liv ing at No. 10, Addington-terrace, Kirby-street, Poplar. He formerly dwelt at the house of the prisoner's mother, No. 15, gllerthorp-street, Poplar. He had saved up five sove reigns, which he intended to forward to his wife and family in Ireland, and the sovereigns were deposited in a box in his room, and that box was always locked. On Sunday, the 2nd instant, he opened the box and missed his gold. The prisoner had then left his mpther's house. Mr. Yardley—Was the box locked the day you missed your money ? Witness—lt was, sir. The money had been removed, and the box was carefully locked. The prisoner must have obtained a key to open it. • The five sovereigns were - the savings of many months, to enable me to comfort my wife and children in my native land. • Joseph Lockhart, 177 K, stated that he apprehended the prisoner yesterday, and he said he took his countryman's money and spent it on his wife. Mr. Yardley —A wife !Is that boy married ? Witness —yes, sir. He was married a year ago, and he is only 19 years of age. Mr. Yardley —I don't think he can be so old. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge of stealing the money, and said his mother prevented him living with his_ wife, who was in a destitute state, and one day said she had MARLBOROUGH -STREET. A BOOK-STALL THIEF. —John Brown, a respectable looking man, was charged with stealing a book from the shop of Mr. Young, bookseller, 351, Oxford -street. From the evidence, which was only slightly gone into on a former occasion, it appeared that while Kelly, 319 A, was on duty at the Princess's Theatre, he saw the prisoner hastily run across the road, as if coming from the prosecu tor's shop. He, suspecting something was wrong, pur sued him, and while doing so a gentleman came up and said he had stolen a book. Continuing the pursuit, and coming up with him, ho took the book from under his coat. Mr. Young identified the book as his property, the value being 6s. Kelly said the prisoner, whose real name was Lemen, had been previously convicted. City-police Constable Edwards, 343, proved that at the Old Bailey, on 15th August, 1853, the prisoner was com mitted for six months for stealing a silver spoon from a hotel in St. Paul's churchyard ; and at the Old Bailey in 1856, in the name of Miller, was sentenced for 12 months for stealing a book from Messrs. Seeley, of Fleet-street. Committed for trial. • WILFUL S3fASHING A PANE OF GLASS.—Joseph Gil lespie was charged with wilfully smashing a pane of glass at the house of Mr. Appleton, licensed victualler, of Hicks' Coffee-house, King-stroet, Soho. The prisoner entered the house in - ta state of intoxication, and on his being refused to be served, he (lashed his hand through the pane of glass in question. The prisoner was ordered to pay the damage, 305., or a month. The prosecutor said he was insured in the Plate Glass Insurance Company, and he came forward to protect them. THIS DAYS MARKETS.

WORKING EXPENSES OFr-ENGLISII • •RAILWAYS. (From Captain Galton's I?eport to the Board qf Trade.) It would appear that the average working ex penses of railway companies, per mile of railway open, have increased in England and Wales from £1,352 per mile in 1854 to £1,564 in -1857 ; but they have decreased in Scotland from £961 in 1854 to £941 in 1857 ; and in Ireland from £465 in 1854 to £464 iii 1857. The proportion which the working expenses have borne to the receipts has been 48 per cent. in England and Wales as compared with the 49 per cent. in 1856; 44 per cent. in Scotland, as com. pared with 47 per cent. in 1856 ; and 38 per cent. in Ireland, as compared with 39 per cent. in 1856 ; the general average having been 47 per cent. upon the b oToss receipts both in 1856 and 1857. Tie expenditure appears to be divided as fol lows, viz. :—Maintenance of way, 15 per cent.,; locomotive expenses, including repairs of rolling stock, 38 per cent. ' • traffic charges, 26 per cent. ; ' miscellan eous , including police and watchmen, compensation, &c.; 13 per cent. ; rates and govern ment duty, 7 per cent. In appendix No. 5 is given a table showing the proportion which the expenditure bears to the receipts per mile, and per train per mile, on each railway separately, for the years 1855, 1856, and 1857. In considering this table it must be borne in mind that ,the capa c ity o f eac h ra il way f or t ra ffi c is affected:by local circumstances, both as regards the physical features of the line, and the descrip tion of traffic upon it. It is impossible to estimate these circumstances in any satisfactory manner, because the returns forwarded to this department by the railway com panies include as a rule groups of lines and branches varying in engineering features, and occupying a diversity of districts. The cost of maintenance of way is to a great extent dependent on the traffic, but it also depends on the care with which, the road has been originally constructed, both as regards the joints of the rails, and the construction of the road in respect of bal lasting, drainage, &c. The following instances of lines which have been open a few years, and are unencumbered with branches, show the effect of traffic on railways : The maintenance of way of the Morayshire Railwati, upon which the train mileage is 3,017 miles, per mile of railwAy, open posts £43. The maintenance of way of the Port Carlisle Railway, upon which the train mileage is 3,004 miles, per mile of railway open costs £43. The maintenance of way of the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction Railway, upon which the train mileage is 14,973 miles, per mile of railway open costs £440.. The maintenance of way of the London and Blackwall Railway, upon which the train mileage is 33,624 miles, per mile of railway open costs £595. The maintenance of way of the North London Railway, upon which the train mileage is 83,964 miles, per mile o f railwayopen costs £791. Although the fished joints and other impro ved modes of layin g th e joints ha . ve been introduced largely on railways, the returns do not admit of its being clearly shown what saving- has been effected thereby, upon the wear and tear of rolling stock, the maint enance o f the road and the diminished cost of fuel consequent upon the diminished resist ances of the joints. The cost of coal and coke appears from a return from the railway companies to have averaged 2.9 d. per mile run by the engines in England, 2.58 d. in Scotland. and 3.94 d. in Ireland. The general ave rage being 2.67 d. per mile. A very important improvement for cheapening the working of railways is being effected by the introduction of coal burning engines which consume their own smoke. The London and South-Western, Great Western, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton, East Lancashire, London and North- Western, South-Eastern, and oth er ra il way com panies, have made experiments on the subject. The engines on the London and South-Western Railway introduced by Mr. Beattie appear to have been successful. These engines are stated to average with passenger trains about 181bs. of coal per mile ; and it is worthy of notice that the average cost of fuel on that railway has been 2.69 d. per mile, and 104 wiles have been run per ton of coal and coke, when on other railways similarly situated the cost has been 3d. and 31,d. per mile, and from 80 to 92 miles only ha-re peen run per ton of coke. There is room for improvement in the amount of non-paying weight in trains in proportion to the weight of the loads. In passenger trains the large amount of non-paying weight is especially notice able. Thus, an erdinary first-class carriage gives, if full, an average, probably of 700 lbs. dead weight per passenger, and an ordinary third-class carriage gives nearly 300 lbs., dead weight per passenger. Carriages have been constructed in which much of this dead weight has been saved, and in which other improvements, such as the power of applying a larger number of breaks to a train, and the abolition of the practice of placing luggage on the tops of the carriages, which has occasioned more than one acci dent by . fire, and pis still in use on some lines, have been introduced. Improvements of this nature cannot be expected to be perfected at once, but must depend upon repeated experiments. They arc however, well deserving of the attention of railway menagers. The local rates and taxes to which railway com panies are subjected formed one of the subjects of complaint in the memorial presented to your lord ships last year. From a return to an order of the House of Com mons, the following would appear to be the amount of the burden on the dividends of the companies. Per-centage on the dividend of ordinary share capital : Rates and Taxes. Passenger Duty. Total. England 7.72 .. 5.99 .. 13.71 Scotland .. 5.97 .. 4.14 .. 10.12 Ireland ... 6.29 .. .. - 5.29 Per -tentage on the dividend on total share capital : Rates and Taxes. Passenger Duty. Total. England 5.41 .. 4.'20 .. 9.61 Scotland 4.05 .. 2.81 .. 6.87 Ireland . 4,27 .. .. 4.27 The most oppressive part of the burden, however, is the litigation to which th e p ar i s h ra t es g i ve r i se. Besides ich the railway companies themselves are in many cases the largest ratepayers in the parishes, and, consequently, if they gain their cause they have to contribute towards the expense of the contest by an increased rate. MR. ALBERT SMITH AT HONG KONG. HONG KONG, AUG. 22. Here we are all safe and sound, among them at last, surrounded by junks and pigtails, and noble ladies and gentlem e n. I h ave b oug ht the enclosed pictures from a splendid merchant who has come off to the side of the ship on three planks, by the aid of a broomstick. We left Singapore on the 23d ult. I was immensely delighted with it ; it is quite a Chinese place. The shed shops are such rich places, they sell the most wonderful things in them 7---toys and gods and lanterns, and joss properties and queer crockery. The filth they eat in the eat , iiig-houses far surpasses that cooked at that old trattoria at Genoa. It consists for the most part of rats, bats, snails, bad eggs, and hideous fish, dried in the most frightful attitudes. 'Sonic of the restau rateurs carry their cookshops about with them on long poles, with the kitchen at one end and the salle-a-manger at the other. These are celebrated for a soup made, I should think, from large caterpillars, boiled in a thin gravy with onions. The barbers also carry their shops about, and they shave, cut beards, and syringe ears right in the middle of the street. A Chinese merchant asked me to dinner. I went, of course, and after dinner we started for the theatre. They played a Chinese opera, with about 50 performers ; there were lots of devils in the piece, with tumbling and fighting in every scene. They had only one clarionet and two gongs in the orchestra, but when there was a situation in the piece one fellowknocked two hollow canes together to show the audience they were to applaud. The merchant lives in first rate style and has a wonderful garden. All the fruit trees are very small ; there were pines like cabbages, and a quantity of creeper called monkey cups,' because down the stalk there are regular pitchers and tops filled with water, from which Jacko re freshes himself in the woods. There were also among his live stock Cashmere goats, porcupines, k Faroos, Pekin pigs, and Brahmin bulls, and in the jumile across the valley tigers and all sorts of no velties. I slept on shore that night, or rather I went to bed, but I could not sleep, as I missed the e noise of the screw and th e creaking of the timbers, b and the bed was too s t ea d y. The last nightubefeorre we got to Hong Kong we had an entertainment on board, and I was stage manager. We made a first rate room of sails and flags, and the whole affair went off capitally. There are no hotels at Hong Kong, but a very nice club with bedrooms. I was I proposed and elected as soon as I arrived, so that is very jolly. To-day they hold a Chinese fete in honour of their dead relations. They keep firing crackers all day in the streets and burn those long pastilles. I don't think they care much about their religion —they go into the temples to get cool, or sit down, or t.) 3.ocp. The children are frightened at the gods, they are so hideous ; they roar with terror when they are placed in front of them. The people walk about with their hats OP, and whistk and smoke, and do what they like.; the merchantt" selling gilt paper and pastilles sit round the ,:sides, and sometimes beat a gong t o a tt rac t customers. Nothing that I can write now can give you the' least idea of this. wonderful place. - I see every hour how yery faithful Cooke's descriptions were. BANS RETURNS.
