MONEY MARKET - AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce have been rather inactive during the last few days, and for some of the chief staples prices have been in favour of buyers. Tea, however, has been firm, and since the delivery of the letters by the over land mail there has been a rather fresh inquiry from the trade, at fully late rates. Sugar has been fiat,-and prices have slightly declined. Coffee con tinues in fair demand, and full rates are readily obtained for the finer qualities of Plantation Ceylon. Cocoa and rum have sold steadily at about late rates, and rice has been dull, prices in most instances having slightly receded. Spices have been dealt in at fair rates, and saltpetre and fruit have been at rather improved quotations. The public sales of wool at Liverpool have been well attended, and good useful qualities have realised an advance of ld. per lb. on the rates of last July. Tallow has been firm, and prices have shown an im provement. P.Y.C. on the spot has advanced to 50s. 3d. ; last three months, 50s . ; and spring deliveries 50s. 9d. to 51s. 3d. per cwt. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a moderate business was transacted, 8,000 bales having been disposed of, at full rates. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, although prices in some in stances slightly improved. £85,090 in gold were received at the Bank of Eng land yesterday, and it is computed that the total must now approach £20,000,000. Further addi tions are expected next week, through arrivals from the United States and Russia. The Australian mail, now due, will no doubt report further con signments, as the yield of gold, through the application of machinery and the scientific system of mining now adopted, is likely to be less fluctu ating than heretofore. The demand for money shows no increase of importance in the requirements of the commercial classes. The instalment, amounting to £450,009, due to-day on the Turkish Loan, has not produced any perceptible influence. At the half-yearly meeting of the Commercial Gas Company, to-day, a dividend was declared at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. I iThe half-yearly meeting of the Buffalo and Lake Huron Railway Company took place to-day. The report stated that the gross revenue of the line now opened for the six months was £25,812, but the working expenses had more than absorbed the amount. The Western division of the line to the Huron road was opened on the 28th of June last. It appeared from the accounts that the assets of the "Illrany in cash, stores, &c., were about £47,000. The report was adopted. The English Stock Market is rather firmer, but the transactions . are chiefly confined to the arrange ment of the account. - Consols are 981 Z- for 121°11 eY, and.9Bl for the November account. It is expected that as soon as the liquidation is over t he Prices will exhibit renewed buoyancy, owing to the accumulation of bullion and the prospect of a reduction in the rate of discount., The March Exchequer Bills, 345. to 375. prem. ; and the June d itto, 255.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—(This Day.) (Before Mr. Pownall and a full bench of magistrates.) THE ARGYLL ROOMS. There was a very full attendance this morning in court, in consequence of the interest excited by the application for a license for music and dancing for the Argyll Rooms. The counsel for the applicant, Mr. R. Bignell, were Mr. Bodkin, Mr. Sleigh, and Mr. Poland. The granting of the license was opposed by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Metcalfe, on the part of the parish of St. James's ; and Mr. D. Keene, for the inhabitants. Mr. Bodkin said he had the honour, in conjunction with his friends Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Poland, to appear in support of the application. He had the greatest respect for the opinion of those gentlemen who opposed the application, but he felt that Mr. Bignell had been treated with great injustice by the opposition on a former occasion, which re sulted in the refusal of a license for the Argyll Rooms. He felt that the majority of the magistrates would agree with him that for the last few years a taste for music had sprung up, which it was of the greatest importance should be encouraged and cultivated. Mr. Bignell, in order to provide a suitable place where innocent amusement could be obtained without the evil of resorting to a public-house, a few years ago became the owner of a pile of buildings known as the Argyll-rooms, then in a very dilapidated con dition. By the outlay of a very large sum of money the place had been entirely rebuilt, and one of the most splendid rooms in the metropolis erected, and artistes of the first celebrity engaged. For seven years Mr. Bignell had had his license renewed, with but slight opposition, until by a strong and unfair effort his' opponents triumphed, and his license was revoked, bringing him nearly to ruin. At the time the license was refused places of a similar nature in the same neighbourhood had received this privilege, after a very slight opposition, and this fact, he contended, showed that the feeling was, to a certain extent, mainly directed against the individual rather than the establishment. He could not help contrasting the granting of a license to Cremorne-gardens and the refusal of the same to the Argyll-rooms. It had been said that per sons of a light character visited these rooms, but he would ask were other places licensed by the courtexempt from the presence of these objectionable persons, and how, he should like to know, was the evil to be met? The vestrymen of St. James, in their petition against the license, said the females who went to theearooms were, after the entertainments were over, "thrown upon the streets;" but were not the audiences of the theatres and of a most exemplary establishment to which a license had been granted yesterday—Exeter-hall— also "thrown upon the streets?" Then it was stated that the evil complained of in the Haymarket had decreased since these rooms had been closed, but he should call before the bench evidence to prove that such was not the case, but, on the contrary, in his opinion, he thought they would be of opinion that strictly the reverse was the fact. Then the petitioners said the applicant had expressed himself in coarse language, that he would keep open the rooms in spite of the license being refused, and that, in fact, he did so, thus treating the whole of the magistrates on the bench with contempt; but his client only acted as every other man would do. He sought the best legal opinion, and in accordance' with the advice he received he acted, and he did not think a gentleman on the bench would blame him for so doing. The petitioners also said that on the refusal of the license to the Argyll Rooms, Mr. Bignell had removed his esta blishment to the Adelaide Gallery, and there attracted the same sort of loose company that frequented the Argyll Rooms. But where were the parochial authorities of St. Martin's-in-the-fields They did not agree with the opinions of the authorities of St. James's. If so, he thought the license which was granted yesterday to the Adelaide Gallery would have been strongly opposed, and the fact that such a step had not been taken entirely disproved that part of the complaint of the petitioners. In opposition to the pe tition of the parish of St. James's, he had a petition signed by 285 of the most respectable residents in the immediate vicinity of the Argyll Rooms, with their addresses and trades affixed, who, so far from being of opinion that the rooms were a nuisance, strongly supported Mr. Bignell in his present application. He had also another petition in favour of the application, signed by 500 or 600 noblemen and gentlemen who had visited these rooms, who testified to the admirable manner in which the whole arrangements were carried out. He thought, if the evidence of bystanders was to be at all regarded, not a single house of amusement, the licenses to which were yesterday granted, could be said to be exempt from the presence of persons of loose char acter. He thought, as licenses had been granted to the Holborn Casino and Cremorne, the same privilege could not, in justice, be refused to the Argyll Rooms ; and he felt the strongest reliance that, after hearing the evidence he should place before the bench, the application would be granted, and justice done to an individual who had been vilified and ill-used. The first witness called was Inspector Richardson of the A division—ln 1844-5-6 I attended nightly at the rooms. The men generally preponderated. The conduct of all parties was orderly. I never had a charge made to me during the whole time I was at the rooms. The music always ended at 12 o'clock. The women .were re spectably attired, and conducted themselves/in a decorous manner. I never saw Inspectors O'Brien and Lester at the Argyll Rooms. There was no masquerade given there. I have observed the state of the streets both while the rooms were open and closed. I have seen no difference since the license was revoked. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—l have no opinion that the women who go to the Argyll Rooms are prostitutes. There is not now a stream of persons flowing out of Windmill-street, but the appearance of the street generally is just the same. The persons who came out of the rooms generally left in cabs, but some circulated about the streets. I don't know that a great many of the frequenters of the rooms entered public-houses and re mained there till the morning. I left after the rooms closed, so I had no great opportunity of forming an opinion where the people generally went after the place was closed. By Mr. Keene—l have seen Inspectors O'Brien and Lester at the door of the rooms in Argyle-street. I have been 16 years in the force. I was sent by the Commis sioners to the place. Re-examined by Mr. Bodkin— The streets appear to me just as much crowded at the present time as ever. Edward Castles, sergeant of the A division—l have known the Argyll Rooms for the last six years. I have been on duty there. I have never known a single disturb ance take place at the rooms. The people who go there conduct themselves in a very orderly manner. I think there generally used to be about five men to one woman present. After the band ceases the visitors always leave the place in an orderly manner. If they had con ducted themselves in a different manner I should have reported the circumstance. When I used to re turn home after the rooms were closed, I never saw the same class of persons walking the Haymarket. I know that respectable persons go to the rooms. I never saw Inspector O'Brien there, but Inspector Lester I have three times. By Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—l don't know what becomes of the respectable women after the place closes. I have had refreshments at the rooms, but I always paid for the things myself. Three other constables used to do dutyat the rooms. Tanner was the name of one of them. Rich. Tanner, of the A division—From 1855-56 I was at the Argyll Rooms about 150 times. I never saw O'Brien there. I have seen Lester there about three times, but never actually in the rooms. The nightly attendance of the public generally averaged about 500. The men always preponderated. I never saw the slightest approach to indecency. When the band ceased a few minutes before twelve o'clock, the visitors all left very quietly. There was no greater crowd outside the door of the rooms . than a theatre. I have seen persons refused admission. Young persons—boys or girls. The company consisted of men and women, who left in cabs. By Sergeant Ballantine—lnspectors O'Brien and Les ter's duty would lead them to ascertain the state of the streets after the place closed. I don't know where people go to after they leave the place. By Mr. Bodkin—l have seen respectable people, both male and female, there—members of the aristocracy. Mr. Bodkin—And are never ruined there ? (Laughter.) Richard Hird, a constable of the police force—l attended the Argyll Rooms for about five years. During that time I had two charges of misbehaviour. The parties were instantly put out of the place. Two witnesses, named IVakforci and M'Lauren, police constables on duty at the Argyll Rooms, gave similar evi dence. The latter said be had seen the wives of inspectors of police and several respectable inhabitants of Windmill street visit the rooms. Mr. Clarkson, of Coventry-street, furniture printer, said —Our premises abut on the Argyll Rooms. He had fre quently attended the Argyll Rooms, and seen respectable people present. I was never in a more orderly and better conducted place of entertainment, and if I am not mistaken I think I have seen the learned Sergeant there. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—l don't think you have, sir; and if you had, I don't think it a thing to talk about here. Mr. Bodkin—Oh, my learned friend need not deny it. (Laughter.) Sergeant Ballantine—l don't deny it. I've been there with you. You persuaded me to go. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Bodkin—Yes, but it did not require much pressure. (Laughter.) My learned friend and I, with several :mem bers of the House of Commons, went to the Argyll-rooms one night, and we found it as well conducted as the wit ness described. A number of witnesses residing in the neighbourhood gave evidence of a favourable description. Mr. Purdy, a musicseller, residing in Vernon-place, said —I have visited the Argyll-rooms. I have taken my wife there. The music is first-rate. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—l will not ask you what your opinion of the ladies was, but what did your wife think of them ? (Laughter.) Witness—She said they were extremely well conducted. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine--For the class? (Laughter.) Witness--Yes, for the class. (Laughter.) If she had not been told she said she would not have known they were different from other people. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Groom, the beadle of St. Martin's-in-the-Field, gave it as his opinion that the oyster shops and the cafes in the neighbourhood attracted a great (leal more than the casinos rooms were conducted. erection. Mr. Jacobs, of the Haymarket, and several witnesses, have given evidence of the respectable manner in which the Mr. Armstrong (a magistrate)—l think we ha - , , e had quite sufficient evidence of that nature. Every witness that has Leen called merely corroborated the evidence of the preceding witness. The evidence on the point of r :.specta bility is overwhelming. (Applause.) Mr. Bodkin—Then I will merely call one other - britness. - Mr. Stray (re of the vestry of the parish of St. James's) —I was present when the petition against this Ii cense was agreed to. There was no notice given. I complained of the irregularity of the procedure. The petition was pro duced ready written and agreed to, The chairman put the "ayes," but not the "noes." (Laughter.) I was one of those who opposed the license last year. I find that since the closing of the rooms the number of cafes have in creased, the number of prostitutes have inscreased, and the indecency has increased. We have two more cafes in the Haymarket since last year. I think if the rooms were again opened it would take away a great 'many of the women in the Haymarket. The women now walk the Haymarket in deep pink stockings, red boots, and their petticoats nearly up to their knees. Mr. Lawrie, a magistrate—Then you think it would be doing good to collect these people in the Argyll-rooms ? Witness—Yes, just so ; it would take them out of the streets until respectable people had gone to bed. (Laughter.) . Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Have you not had a quarrel with the Vestry of St. James's, because they erected a urinal near your door ? And have you not said that you thought it very bad treatment, after what you had done towards suppressing the casinos ? Witness—l have said that it was bad treatment after what I had done. They had to remove the objectionable Mr. Bodkin—This is the case on the part of Mr. Bignall? Mr. Sergeant Ballantine then addressed the bench in opposition to the application, on the part of St. James's, and contended that no case had been made out to justify a reversal of the decision the magistrates arrived at last year. He complained that Mr. Bignall, who was in court, was not called, and who preferred remaining in comfortable privacy to making his appearance in the witnessbox, where, ofcourse, he would have been subjected to a rigid cross-ez amination. A female (the only one in a crowded court) —Why don't you call him. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Sergeant Ballantyne—That, no doubt, is the voice of one of the respectable ladies who visits the Argyll Rooms. (Laughter.) The question, however, was a very pertinent one for the consideration of his learned friend. The leaaned sergeant then made some very forcible obser vations upon casinos in general, and said that if they were required they ought to be placed where they could be a nuisance to no person. He then proceeded to comment upon the name of the persons, and dwelt particularly upon the signature, "Dean Milman, 3, Bell-yard, Doctors' Com mons." Mr. Bodkin—You make a mistake, that is not the signa ture of the Dean of Westminster. It must have been placed there by some practical joker. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine Practical joke ! it is the forgery of an honest man's signature. Mr. Bodkin—A person named Dean Mihnan, I have just . been told, resided at the place mentioned. My learned friend contends that it is the signature of the Dean, and I say it is not. My contradiction is as good as his assertion. After some further discussion on the point, the learned sergeant proceeded with his address, and concluded with a strong appeal to the bench to adhere to their decision, which if persisted in would, he trusted, in some small degree im prove a part of the metropolis which was now looked upon as one of the worst places in the habitable globe. Mr. Keene addressed the Bench in support of the second petition of the parish of St. James's. Mr. Pownell, the chairman, then put the question, when there appeared— For granting the license 25 Against it Majority in favour of the license . , —ll The Chairman said the license was granted. The an nouncement was received with loud cheers, which were re peated again and again, on the result of the application becoming known outside the court. MISCELLANNOITS Miscellaneous.

The application of. Edward Tyrrell Smith for a license for the Alhambra Palace, Leicester-square, was next proceeded with. [We shall give a report of the proceedings in a late edition.] POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A JUVENILE btrosTon.--William Edney, aged 13, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged under the following circumstances : Horsford, the chief constable of the Mendicity Society, said, while in the New-road, he saw the boy follow a gen tleman down Portland-street, where he saw the gentleman give him something. He afterwards saw him beg of a lady, saying " His mother had broken her ribs, was confined to her bed, and that if he did not get the sum of ss. she would be turned out of her lodgings into the street." Having left her he went and begged of another gentleman. The mother had not broken her ribs, neither was she ill in bed. On searching him Is. 6d. was found, and in answer to ques tions put to him, he said he was going to the Queen's Theatre with another boy. In Nov., 1856, the boy was brought to the Mendicity Society's office by a gentleman, and he had been charged three times with similar conduct. It further appeared that the boy was, some months since, brought to the court charged with similar conduct, on which occasion the gentleman he had begged of observing his decent appearance felt some interest in him, believing at the time from his manner of telling his tale that it was true, and, pending inquiries, left a sovereign for his use. Mr. Bingham said, on the last occasion he gave him up to his mother in the hope that she might get him on board a ship. _ _ _ The sister, a respectable looking young woman, said nothing could be done with him. Her mother tried to get him on board a ship but did not succeed. ➢ir. Bingham said he was thoroughly depraved. If they could get him to Australia they might change his nature. He would give them a little time to see if they could get a ship for him. Remanded. A gent'enan said he would try to assist them at a house in the city. A PALTRY FINE.— Thomas Hamilton, a lad in the employ of Mr. Aldis, pawnbroker, Berners-street, was charged with the following assault : Richard Chilman said he was going along Berners-street on the previous evening, being a little the worse for liquor, and when near Mr. Aldis's shop he stopped for a minute to look at some tickets before going in, upon which the prisoner, who was standing outside the shop door, said to another lad, " There goes a beer-engine." He lifted up his hand as if with the intention of striking the lad, when he said, " strike me dead, if you touch me I'll knock your head off," and then struck him a violent blow on the head, causing the wound (rather a severe one) as it then appeared, and which at the time bled a great deal. In answer to a question, the complainant said it was done with a rule, and that he was going into the shop to redeem something. The prisoner denied he had done it, it was caused by a fall. He merely said "There goes a fire-engine," which was going by at the time. He certainly struck the complainant, but he did not cause the wound. A very respectable witness named Crandle, residing at 52, Poland-street, h, re stepped forward and positively swore he heard the lad say to another, " There goes a beer engine," and so far from the allusion being made to the fire-engine by the lad, the fire-engine did not pass for full four minutes after the occurrence. The complainant's head bled a good deal. Mr. Bingham said the prisoner must pay a fine of 10s. THIS DAI'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Oct. S.—Wind this day at noon, W. strong breeze ann fine.

MICHAEL, Acting Registrar of Bank Returns. Inland Revenue Office, Oct. 2, 1858. NEW METHOD OF C.4UTERISATION. Dr. Maisouneuve, in a paper recently addressed to the Academy of Sciences, describes a peculiar method of his invention, by which the largest tu mours imaginable may be destroyed, without danger to the patient, in the course of a few hours. The method consists in puncturing the tumour, if neces sary, and then introducing a caustic into the wound. All caustics are applicable to this operation ; but that which Dr. Maisonneuve prefers is that known among French chemists under the name of " pate de canquoin ' " consisting of one part of chloride of zinc, four of wheat flour, and quantum suf. of water. This is made into a paste of some consistency, which may be cut into various shapes, viz„ cones, strips, or double cones, resembling spindles. These diffe rent pieces are allowed to dry and harden in the air. The first kind is used in what the inventor calls " circular cauterisation." This is applicable to very salient tumours of a certain size. The operator punc tures the tumour all round the base at distances of about half an inch each, and introduces caustic cones into all the wounds, which will all meet nearly in the centre of the tumour. There is no effusion of blood, the caustic acting itself as an haemostatic ; in the course of an hour or two all the tissue intervening between the cones is eaten away, and the tumour, being thus deprived of all vascular or nervous communication, loses its vitality. All the dangers resulting from purulent infection or traumatic reaction are avoided by this process. In what the inventor calls parallel cauterisation, the caustic is used in the form of strips or pointed laminae, which are thrust into the tumour parallel to each other, so as to form as it were a bundle of caustic arrows. The destruction of the tumour is here direct, its tissue is disorganised throughout, and as rapidly as before. The process is specially appli cacle to tumours deeply seated in the flesh, and not very prominent. The fusiform caustic is used in Dr. Maisonneuve's third process—that of central cauterisation. In this process a sinule deep incision is made, and a double cone or spindle thrust in, which scoops out, so to say, the matter of the tumour, forming a thick eschar all round. This eschar may be extracted through the aperture already made, and fresh caustic may be introduced until the tumour is reduced to an empty egg-shell, as it were, which will gradually contract and heal in course of time. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up to-day a very moderato supply of English wheat came to hand, coastwise and by land carriage, but there were several of Monday's unsold samples on the stands. Very few buyers were in attendance, and the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy. In prices, however, compared with Monday, no quotable changes took place. In foreign wheat the show of which was large, exceed ingly little business was transacted, and prices ruled almost nominal. Floating cargoes of grain were a dull inquiry. Fine malting barley realised previous rates, but inferior foreign qualities were Is. per quarter cheaper. Malt, the supply of which was moderate, sold slowly, at late rates. We were well supplied with oats, in whiefa an average business was doing, at barely late rates. Beans, peas, and flour moved off slowly, but we have ne change to notice in their value.
