MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days have been rather active. Sugars have been in good demand at slightly enhanced quotations, and at the public sales of tea late prices were well maintained for good and ordinary descriptions. Coffee has been dull owing to the large quantity offered at public sale. IR rice, spices, and fruit the dealings have been to a moderate extent, the value of raisins being con siderably enhanced by the smallness of the stocks on hand. Saltpetre has continued in fair request, and an increased business has been done in tallow, chiefly however of a speculative character, P.Y.C. on the spot being quoted 60s. 6d. to 61s. ; and spring delivery, 61s. 6d. to 625. per cwt. A fair amount of business was recorded in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday at about previ ous rates. The sales were estimated at 15,000 bales. The preparations for the engagements due on the 4th inst. have produced very little effect upon the general condition of the money market, the demand not having materially increased, while the rates continue to range a fraction below the Bank of England minimum. About £50,000 was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday. The Royal mail steamer Atrato, which leaves to day for the West Indies, will take out £10,400, vii., £6,000 in gold and £4,400 in silver. The Oneida has been announced this morning from the Brazil with £27,490, and the Vanderbilt from New Tork with £31,190 in specie. Very little alteration is apparent in the English Stock Market, business being extremely dull, but the quotations have exhibited rather more firmness. The efflux of gold from the Bank, which points to the probability of an ultimate advance in the rate of discount, still creates an unfavourable feeling among the operators, but no disposition is shown to enter largely into speculative engagements. Consols are 92/ to 93 for money, and 93 to 934 for the December account. The New Threes are fiat at 911 ; the Reduced are steady at 911 ; and the New 24 per Cents., at 771 ; India Stock is at 2201 ; ditto New Loan is firm at 1024 to 1031 ; but Bank Stock has receded to 231 ; and Exchequer Bills are heavy at 3s. die. to par. Business in the Foreign Stock Market has been rather active, and prices have improved. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 71 to 714 ; ditto New, 53 to 581 ; Mexican have advanced to 221 ; Brazilian 44 per Cents. to 88 1; Portuguese to 441 ; Russian 44 per Cents. to 94 4 ; Spanish to 49 ; ditto Deferred to 40 ; and Dutch 24 per Cents. are steady at 64/. 4 Ocean Marine Insurance shares are 11 2 prem. ; Thames and Mersey, t 1 prem.; and the Universal, I I prem. Business in the Railway Share Market has been inactive, and a further slight depression has pre vailed. Eastern Counties, North-Western, Mid land, and North-Eastern (York) have receded as., and West Midland 10s. ; London and Blackwall, North-Eastern (Berwick), and Great Northern advanced 55., and London, Chatham, and Dover and Brighton 10s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have remained very inactive. Paris and Lyons brought 36, and Recife and San Francisco 91 1 ; Grand Trunk of Canada declined to 221 23, and Great Western of Canada to 121 139 ; East Indian were steady at 1004, and Great Indian Peninsula at 964 I. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have shown no material alteration. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 9ll 1 / 3 per Cent.

Ol The witness William M'Gall, iu accordance with the et direction of the Roy a l C omm i ssioners, produced a list of 6' , persons to whom he had given portions of the sum of £5OO 8 1 which had been given to him by Colonel Gordon for die tribution amongst the poor and needy of the town. The el list contained the names of about 20 or 30 persons, and the ' 4l total accounted for was £9B. Many of the persons in the 6 list he said were dead, and most of the others had left the place. The chairman said the account was far from satis factory, and he (witness) must produce a fuller statement s than the one rendered. The examination of M'Gall was then proceeded with, with a view of ascer ! s luing whether he gave any money on the fol lowing day in May, 1858, or in April, 1859. The witness denied that en either of these occasions had he given any money to any of the electors for the purpose of Ia fluencing their votes. He said he certainly did not give 8' Miller any money, although it had been stated that he had. M'Gall was then examined with respect to his being in the cellar of the Woolpack Inn, on the following day, and I at its termination the chairman said the evidence he had si ad given on that point was contradicted in every mate- 81 rial point by the former witnesses, and no person could volt but that he (M‘Gall) was committing wilful perjury, sti The examination of this witness occupied the whole day. s I WIND AND WEATHER _REPORT. sl Tars DAY, Ni Belfast, E. by fin e Birmingham, S.E. ; fine Bradford, N.

By the last account's, however, he was going on well, and had not given up the hope of bringing home some reminiscences of his journey in strange lands. The Proqres of Lyons states that the accounts received of the late crops and of the operations of the autumn sowings are favourable. THE POTATO CROP IN EOLITH ESSEX. —We regret to say the potato growers in this division of the county have suffered to a very considerable extent by the failure of the i crop. In many instances the crop ha s been ploughed n, or sold at the rate of £1 per ton for feeding of cattle. The loss of some of the largest growers is variously estimated from £5OO to £2,000 and £3,000. —Essex Standard. CHEM.—The third day's play in the great chess match, between essrs. Horwitz and Kolisch, took place yesterday afternoon. The attendance of mem bers was on this occasion unusually large, and the general interest of the chess fraternity, centred upon this closely contested struggle, appears to be of a nature rarely paralleled. The result was a second success on the part of M r. Kolisch ; while Mr. Horwitz, so far, has won but a'single game. Play is appointed to be resumed to-day. mE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2, 1860. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Good dry samples were taken off at Monday's currency, but all other kinds hung on hand at barely late rates. Nearly 16,000 quarters of wheat have come to hand from abroad. Most kinds were in moderate request, but, com pared with last week, no change took place in the quota tions. Floating cargoes were dull, but xot cheaper. We have to report a steady sale for all kinds of barley, at very full prices. The malt trade was tolerably Arm. In prices, however, no change took place. There was a good consumptive demand for oats, at fully he late improvement in value. ♦RRIVALS TILTS WEEK. Rhea. Barley. Malt Oats.

Yesterday a very numerously-attended and some what stormy meeting of the depositors in this bank was held at the London Tavern, over which Mr. Jeremiah Long, chairman of the committee of shareholders appointed on the previous occasion, was requested to preside. The CHAIRMAN observed that they were very well aware of 'the painful nature of the business which had been the cause of their being called together. They were the unfortunate creditors of Messrs. Davies and Co. A meeting had been called for Monday last, but that meeting had not taken place, and a fiat in bankruptcy had been issued. Seeing that the meeting in question had not been held, a number of shareholders who did assemble on that occasion were formed into a committee, and that committee determined to convene a meeting of the entire body of the creditors, with the view of consulting them as to what steps it would be most advisable for them to take for the protection of their interests. They wished in whatever they did to exhibit the kindest feelings towards Davies and Co., although they could not but feel that the firm had by no means done all that they might have done, and that might have been expected of them, for their creditors. They were desirous of meeting them in a friendly spirit, but they wanted to have justice done them. They all thought that they had not bees treated fairly, and although he was not of that opinion, there were some who thought they had not been treated honestly. The case was a very serious one. Some had deposited all they had, and one man had been already so affelted by his losses that he had lost his reason, and was now an inmate of a lunatic asylum. The committee thought that the creditors ought to take the matter into their own hands, and had therefore called them together to ask them what they would do, always leaning, as he hoped they would lean, to the side of neighbourly and friendly feeling towards Davies and Co. (Hear.) Mr. EDWARDS proposed, and Mr. F. SEARLE seconded a resolution declaring that the creditors would take the matter into their own hands. Mr. CHAMBERLAIN supported the motion. He was a member of the committee, he said, and repre sented a lady who had deposited with Davies and Co. all she had. He argued that Messrs. Davies and Co. ought to have struggled to the last, and that they ought to have made as complete a statement as they could, so as to have done all in their power to relieve the anxieties of the creditors. If there was ever a case of bankruptcy which ought to be thoroughly investigated it was a case like this, where there was so large a number of poor deposi tors. (Hear.) They were told that bankruptcy was inevitable, owing to the peculiar position of Messrs Davies and Co.'s assets, but he was inclined to think that the bankruptcy was Messrs. Davies and Co.'s own act—that they had in effect made themselves bankrupts—and that they and the Messrs. Hill, the petitioning creditors, were acting together. With such extraordinary facilities as London presented for calling creditors together, it did strike him as an odd thing that the bankruptcy should follow so close upon the stoppage of the bank—(hear, hear) — and before the creditors had had an opportunity of being called together to express their opinion. Close on the announcement of this fact, it was also stated that the London and County Bank was going to do something good for them—(hear, hear, and a laugh)—but what they proposed was, after all, only discount the prospect of a dividend, taking secu rity from every party to whom any advance was made. He did not know what the bank.produced— (A voice —X 5,000 a-year)—but he thought that they, as creditors, were entitled not merely to all the property of Davies and Co., but also to what the goodwill of the bank would fetch. (Cries of" Hear, hear,"and " No, no.") The speaker contended further , on this point, but was assailed with a variety of in terruptions, and cries of " The goodwill of a bank rupt is worth nothing." He con tended that the good will of Davies and Co, had a value, even now, and he expressed a hope, which elicited much laughter, that if the London and County Bank opened a branch there, and made use of the connections and advantages placed at their disposal by the bankruptcy they would be prepared to hand over to thecreditors a good round sum in exchange for such benefits. They had heard, in many cases, of good round sums being given to private bankers on retiring, by the joint stock concerns which succeeded them, and he thought that Messrs. Davies and Co. ought to have made some such arrangement in the present case. (Hear, hear.) If there should be any course which would save them from going through the Bank ruptcy Court, by all means let them do all they could to get it adopted, and he would - not vote for the appointment of any man as assignee who was not pledged to the adoption of that course. (Hear.) He should therefore support the resolution. Mr. WILKINSON, on the part of the London and County Bank, explained the course they had taken in the matter. No duubt if Mr. Davies had made the offer, while he remained able to pay 20s. in the pound, the goodwill of his bank would have been worth something ; but the moment the bank became insolvent, the goodwill was entirely valueless. (Hear, hear.) On Friday morning they had been asked to assist at the bank, and in fact to carry it on. But a statement of the affairs of the bank was laid before them showing a debt due from Messrs. Evans Brothers, to the extent of £53,000. (A Voice —What ! £53,000 to speculative builders ?)—(Cries of " Hear ' hear," and " Shame.") Such being the case the London and County Bank naturally de clined to make advances without a chance of repay ment—the bank accordingly stopped payment in the evening. Messrs. Davies and Co. begged the London and County Bank to do the best it could for the creditors, many of whom were represented as being very likely to suffer on the Saturday and Mon day. It was then, looking at the assets of Messrs. Davies and Co., that the London and County Bank felt justified in offering the creditors 7s. in the pound. (Hear, hear.) Of course if a creditor wanted £5OO, and was able to repay it, he could have it in the usual way. Many, however, took their 7s. with out asking for advances, and in fact without opening an account, at all. (Hear, hear.) Such was the offer they made, and those whom it suited accepted it, while any who disapproved of it declined. It was a mere question for every one to consider and determine for himself whether it was worth his while to accept such an offer; and, under all the circumstances, the London and County Bank did not feel justified in offering any more. The first in timation he had of the failure was on the Friday morning, when Mr. Troughton was sanguine of the bank being able to hold its ground. In reply to Mr. Fowler he stated that those who had ac cepted the Is. had not thereby done away with their right to vote for assignees. The Rev. TIMOTHY GIBsoN, of Bethnal-green, said that the advance of .£53,000 to Messrs. Evans Brothers without any adequate security, was a striking and an unsatisfactory feature of this case —(hear)—especially as the failure of the bank was attributed to such advances. (Hear.) He had been told that if the property in question had been taken into the market at the moment it would have rea lised £35,000, so that the loss to the bank would have been £lB,OOO. On this £lB,OOO, then, the bank, according to their own showing, have stopped payment. (Hear.) He felt a deep and painful inte rest in this matter, seeing that he had, as trustee, deposited £4OO of poor people's money in this bank, and these poor people were expecting to receive that money in the middle of December to enable them to purchase articles of clothing and other necessaries for themselves and families. He did not know, in fact, that he might not have his very bed taken from under him as a consequence of this failure. (Hear, hear.) Mr. TANQUERAY, on behalf of Mr. Hill, the peti- tioning creditor, declared that that gentleman was no relation or connexion of Mr. Davies, and that lee know nothing whatever of the state of the bank till past four o'clock on Friday . afternoon. He denied that the fiat had been issued with the knowledge and consent of Mr. Davies. The resolution was then put and carried unani mously. Mr. HUMPHREYS appeared for several clients deeply involved, and urged strongly the pursu ance of a peaceful policy, the appointment of men of business as trade assignees, and as members of a committee to vetch over the progress of events. He disclaimed any professional objects when he suggested the names of gentlemen who, he thought, would represent the various interests very fairly, and that it be an instruction to them to call to their counsel some eminent solicitor, who would enable them to form correct views as to their posi tion. It would be well to see if nothing could b e done to avoid going on in the Court of tßank ruptcy, which would entail an expense upon i estate of from 33 to 40 per cent.

The committee was reappointed, with the addi dition of such of the assignees who had just been nominated a s were not already on it, and they were authorised to take such steps to secure the election of the assignees just nominated as they thought proper, with power to act for the general benefit of the creditors who guaranteed them the repayment of all reasonable expenses. Mr. FOWLER, a member of the committee, ex plained the course they had pursued, and amongst other things stated that they had written to Mr. Davies a letter narked " private," and inviting him to a meeting on the previous day, to hear what prospect he could hold out to them in order that they might h ave been able to stat e the result of his communication to the creditors at the meeting to-day. (Hear, bear.) This letter was marked " private," posted to Mr. Davies at the Bank, and as it had not been returned, he presumed it must have reached that gentleman. The com mittee met at the time and pl ace appointed, but neither saw nor heard anything of Mr. Davies, which-they thought was hardly treating them as they had a right to expect. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Fox, for Mr. Davies, denied that such a letter had ever reached him. On.the contrary, M r. Davies had actually consulted him as t o atten d in g the meeting ho was addressing; but he ad vised Mr. Davies not to be present at any meeting to which he was not invited. It had been thought advisable, for reasons which he need not enter into there—(hear, and laughter)—that an adjudication in bankruptcy should take place, and the meeting of creditors was adjourned because nothing effectual could be done till after the examination in bank ruptcy. Mr. Fox then explained, and apologised for the delay in notifying to the creditors the ad journment of the meeting, and stated amongst other circumstances that Mr. Davies was at Brighton. Whereupon an excited creditor exclaimed in earnest tones—" What right has he to go down to Brighton to spend our money ?"—an inquiry which caused great noise and confusion, at the partial suppres sion of which Mr. Fox stated that Mr. Davies had not gone down to Brighton to " spend their money;" he had gone there to his mother's house, as many of them would be glad to do in a similar time of trial. This statement elicited counter cheering on behalf of Mr. Davies, and the tone of the meeting was still further improved when Mr. Fox stated that if they were only united and prudent the estate would realise for them 10s. or 12s. in the pound, without the £53,000 at all. It was true that Messrs. Evans and Co. made a show of assets to the extent of 20s. in the pound, hut he did not believe that. (Hear, hear.) He begged to say that personally he had nothing whatever to do with the acceptance of these inadequate securities. (Hear, hear.) He did not want to smooth over matters ; but he demanded for Mr. Davies what they, as creditors, had asked from him, viz., a full and searching investigation. The amount which they as creditors would realise depended on their acting in concert, and putting forward such men as Mr. Davies would have confidence in, seeing that the offer to supersede the bankruptcy must come from the bankrupts. They would have to appoint men who would strive to realise as much for the estate as possible, and not men who would employ themselves in discovering a score or two of mare's nests. (Hear, hear.) Mt. HARMAN expressed a belief that £15,000 would be the extent of their loss from the Evans affair, but thought that every effort should be made to get the bankrupts' estate out of the Bankruptcy Court. A number of speeches were then delivered, in which the most conciliatory tone was adop t ed towards Messrs. Davies and Co., and the following resolution was enthusiastically carried : " Resolved,—That in the opinion of this meeting it is desirable that the bankruptcy should be super seded, if practicable, at the earliest possible period ; that it is most desirable to avoid litigation and hostile proceedings; and that a copy of this reso lution be forwarded to Messrs. Davies and Co., through their solicitor." The CHAIRMAN cautioned the creditors against giving anybody a power of attorney to vote and act for them, and said that where such powers had already been given they could be and ought to be revoked, so that they might all act together. They would meet Messrs. Davies and Co., whom he had known for 35 years, in the most courteous, kind, and proper manner, so far as they could do so consistently with due regard to the creditors. (Hear, hear.) A vote of thanks to the chairman brought the proceedings to a close, after having lasted from one o'clock to four. MR. COBDEN AND TLIR ROCHDALE MANUFACTURERS. A meeting of woollen manufacturers was held on Wednesday at the Wellington Hotel, Rochdale, to hear the report of the deputation appointed on Monday week to confer with Mr. Cobden, in Paris, relative to the admission of flannels into France. The MAYOR stated that soon after their arrival in Paris, the deputation had an interview with Mr. Cobden, and learned from him that it was contemplated to fix a specific duty on all woollen goods. The deputation endeavoured to show Mr. Cobden that flannels ought to be admitted at an ad valorem duty. Mr. Cobden at one saw that, in the case of flannels, an ad valorem duty would be best, and said he would do what he could for them. In the evening Mr. Cobden met them again and in formed them that, after some discussion, the com missioners had given up the specific duty, and that, under the new treaty, all woollens or fabrics in which wool predominated, would be received at the same duty. The deputation then tried to get blankets and low flannels introduced at a duty lower than on fine flannels, stating that same deseriptions were so near the raw material that they considered a distinction only proper; but they were reminded that the lower the price the lower would be the duty. He (the Mayor) considered that there was a probability, almost amounting to a certainty, that all woollens, and all fabrics in which wool pre dominated, would be admitted at 15 per cert., that rate to be reduced in 1864 to 10 per cent. It was probable, too, that the date of the treaty coming into operation would be anticipated. He could not close his report without stating that the deputation was met in a cordial manner by Mr. Cobden and his English coadjutors. The amount of fatigue which was undergone by Mr. Cobden was very great, and must tell on a man of his age. He received deputations from as early hour till the time at which the commissioners sat, and again after their sitting ; and he (the Mayor) was assured, by other deputations he had met at the hotel, that they were all satisfied with the attention paid by Mr. Cobden to their representations. The deputa tion had been assured that the treaty, when con cluded, would be a most complete and perfect treaty, and that it was likely that Mr. Cobden's assistance would be asked for in the arrangement of treaties for other countries.

CANNING 'S GREAT SPEECH.—Perhaps the most fa l se , the most unreasonable, and in every way the most absurd speech ever uttered by a British Minister, was that o f Canning, when he said in those much-quoted words 4, I c alled the New World into existence to redress the balance of the Old." He had no more to do with calling the New World into existence than he had to do with the discovery of America. If anybody had a right to claim that honour it was Castlereagh, who sketched out in papers now lying in the Foreign-office the course that Canning afterwards followed ; but even for Castlereagh to have claimed such merit in such terms would have been false and ridiculous bombast. We cannot in a single sentence point out the still greater absurdity of the subsequent statement, that his object was to redress the balance of the Old World. The meaning of the sentence is, that he ruined Spain in order to weaken France. To any one acquainted with the history of the transaction, as it has since been re vealed in various State papers, Canning's sounding phrases are a tissue of the most glaring falsehoods and absurdities. Nothing can well bs more unreasonable. And yet this was the most successful piece of oratory delivered in the present century. The effect was electrical. The House of Commons rose to its feet as he uttered these words, stared at him in blank amazement, and then burst into such tremendousnado,a! cheering as even the walls of St. Stephen's had ra re l y echoed. Shall we say that a speech thus effeetyVVire assembly of the most educated gentlemen of the not eloquent because of its turgidity , its &lex utter absurdity?—" Cornhill Magazine" far ~ bar d . its THIRD EDITION.

Bull Dog, on the coast of Greenland and North America, saved the American schooner Nautilus in the month of August last. Early last summer the Nautilus visited Greenland, having on board the celebrated Professor Cranbourne, with several young students from Massachusetts, who had arranged to pass their vacatrisor! i ii i c i i exploring the arctic regions. The Nautilus it app a_ n only two professed sailors on board, the students prreeievrarn.g to do the whole work of the ship.
