MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. During the past week there has been little change of importance in the general course of business in the manufacturing districts. At Manchester, how ever, a further advance has taken place in the value of both yarns and piece goods. The woollen trade at Leeds has continued steady, and at Halifax, Hud dersfield, and Bradford preparations for the spring demand has given increased employment to the operatives. The hosiery trade of Leicester has con tinued busy, and a fair amount of business v; as done at Nottingham and Hinckley. The iron trade of South Staffordshire has shown symptoms of im provement, but in the various hardware districts, Viz., Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, no material alteration can be recorded. There was more activity in the Liverpool cotton market on Saturday, and 15,000 bales were dis• posed of, at full rates. There is a steady demand for accommodation, and it is readily supplied, although very little business is now transacted under 31 per cent., the recent increase in the inqui r y, an d th e mon etary advices from Paris, having induced greater firm ness on the part of the banks and discount houses. About £45,000 in bar gold was taken into the Bank of England on Saturday. The Africa, from New York, has brought £1,166 in specie. The rate of interest on French Treasury Bonds bas been raised from 31 to 4 and 4-3- per cent., ac cording to the time they have to run before falling due. A second call of £2 per share has been made by the directors of the South Eastern of Portugal Railway, payable on or before the 4th proximo. The traffic receipts of the Northern of France Railway from the Ist of January to the 23d ult., amounted to £1,786,596, being an increase of £62,400 compared with the corresponding date last year, and on the Paris and Orleans Railway for the same period the receipts were £2,046,558, or £166,626 more than in 1860. The transactions in the market for Public Seen ties to-day have been rather restricted, but having included a few speculative sales, prices have shown a downward tendency. Console are quoted 92 I for transfer, and 93 931 for November, being i t per cent. lower than they were on Satur day afternoon.

In the leading country markets held on Saturday wheat sold somewhat steadily at the late decline in the quotations. Barley was dull, and prices had a downward tendency ; but in oats, beans and peas, as well as in flour, very little change took place. The French markets have continued heavy, at drooping currencies. At New York a large business has been trans acted in wheat and dour, with moderate sale for export,•at higl.er prices. The arrivals of English grain up to our markets last week wete moderate. From abroad we received 13,557 quarters of wheat, 1,100 barley, 25,804 oats, 900 beaus, 447 peas, 2,150 linseed, 968 rapeseed, 35 maize, 470 sundry seeds, and 2,102 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this mornings market, the receipts of Eng lish wheat were less extensive than on Monday last. Al though the demand, both for red and white qaalities, exhibited no activity, yet, compared with this day so'nnight, there was decidedly a better feeling in the trade, and an advance of Is per quarter took place in the quotations. With foreign wheat we were fully supplied. On the whole the demand ruled steady, but by no means active, at last week's currency. ELECIION OF LORD MAY OR. CLOSE OF THE POLL. In floating cargoes of grain sales progressed slowly, yet prices were fairly supported. The trade for barley was heavy, and the quotations gave way ls. per quarter. Malt moved off slowly. In its value, however, no quot able change was observed. Good and fine oats were in steady request, at quite previous rates, Inferior qualities, however, sold slowly on forme r terms, For beans the demand ruled very inactive, and in some instances prices ruled in favour of buyers. In the value of peas, very little change took place. The inquiry for them, however, was far from active, Most kinds of flour met a limited sale, yet the quotations were maintained.

On Saturday, on the occasion of the final close of the poll, a number of electors assembled in the Guildhall. At four o'clock the poll clerk closed the books amidst some slight cheering. Mr. NOTTIDGE then came forward and said, on behalf of the committee who had conducted the election on the part of the Lord Mayor, he begged to thank the livery for the triumphant manner in which they had re turned him at the head of the poll. 110 thought there never was an election for Lord Mayor which so clearly showed the expression of public opinion. A band of gentlemen, without the slightest pretensions to electioneering tactics, had, he was happy to say, cairled their cause to a successful issue, opposed as they had been by a talented and well organised electioneer ing - body. The Lord Mayor's election had been brought about without the aid of a single paid canvasser, end he had been returned by a majoilty of over 1,000. He had also the happiness of informing them that they had returned the Lord .Mayor free of expense—(Cheers)—as not one farthing of the expenses would come out of b=s pocket, and the committee intended to present the honour to the Lord Mayor as an expression, on the part of the lively of Lon don, of the manner in which he fulfilled the functions of his office during the year coming to a close. It was important during the ensuing year, which would be a very eventful one, that a man of good sound common sense for their • chief magistrate should be appointed, and the gentleman who world fill that office was all that could be desired. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) He was not a man who had been dropped on fortune's hill—his honour had been to mount it—(cheers)—and they might rest assured that the Lord Mayor would add additional honour to the office they had conferred upon him. (Cheers.) The following numbers were then exhibited as the final state of the poll : Mr. Potter, of Farringdon-street, said he lid not th;iik that the manner in which the election had been conducted reflected much credit on the livery of London. He had yet to learn what the Lord Mayor had done to merit his elec tion to a second year of office. The speaker continued his remarks, but before ho had come to a conclusion the whole of the assembly had quitted the hall. DEATH OF MR. DEPUTY Holm—We regret to announce the death of Mr. Thomas Holt, the deputy of Farringdon Within ward.

We had a fair average supply of foreign stock on offer in our market to-day, but there was a slight falling off in its general quality compared with several previous weeks. From our own grazing districts, as well as from Ireland, the receipts of beasts fresh up were seasonably good, and, for the most part, in fair condition. The primest breeds c om manded a steady sale, at full prices— v i z ., f rom 4 s 4d to 4s 8d per 81bs ; otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at last week's currency. A few very superior Scots and crosses were held at 4s 10d per Elbs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 2,900 short horns and mixed breeds ; from other parts of England, 500 various breeds ; from Scotland, 7 Scots ; and from Ireland, 600 oxen and heifers. There was only a moderate supply of sheep in the pens. The best Downs and half-brads were in steady request, at full currencies. Otherwise the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. The top quotation fa mutton was 5s 4d per Sibs. Calves, the supply of which was rather limited, moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices. The highest quota tion for veal was 45 4d per 81bs. Although the show of pigs was a full average one, the pork trade was somewhat active, at fully last week's cur rency. Per Sib. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.

FALL OF HOUSES.—Shortly after eight o'clock on Saturday evening a number of newly-built houses, near the Old Kent-road, suddenly fell down with a terrible crash. At first some fears were entertained that the accident had been attended with a loss of life, but on examining the debris it was found that that apprehension was happily unfounded. journalism seems to be looking up in Naples. Fifteen months since there was but one daily journal in the capital of the Two Sicilies—the Gazetta di Napoli. Now there are 15. With so much mental information, and a little gas, and a little drainage, and a few miles of foot pavement in the streets, we may hope for the best, so far as the Neapolitans are concerned. THE FORTHCOMING FOOT RACE.—The race be- tween Deerfoot, the Seneca Indian, and Jackson, " the American Deer," which is to take place at Brompton on Monday, the 14th inst., is exciting much interest among the class of persons who patronise such sports. The Indian, who defies all corners, is likely, it is thought, to meet with his match in Jackson, whose friends are backing him well. The place selected for the match is the "West London Cricket Ground, Brompton, a very suitable place for the perform ance, capable of well accommodating quite as many people as aro likely to attend. On the following Monday Deer foot will run with a man named Jones, who has obtained some celebrity in Islington and its neighbourhood, and who defeated " the Little Wonder" (Mills) a fortnight ago. With Jackson the match is to be four miles for £5O, and we believe that the same conditions will be made with Jones. Deerfoot is also to run next Monday afternoon in a handicap at Dublin, with Levett and Mills (the Little Wonder before mentioned), both of whom he has previously defeated. Sharp running, however, appears not to be his only qualification, for he is matched with Beckwith, the champion swimmer of England, to swim 20 lengths of the Lambeth Baths, for €5O, on Wednesday, the 23d of Octo ber, Deerfoot receiving a quarter of a minute start. MURDER IN STIRLING.—As Sheriff Sconce was engaged in the Falkirk Small-debt Court on Wednesday, a telegraphic message from Stirling was handed to him on the bench, to the effect that a murder had been committed in Stirling on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. When the contents of the telegram became rumoured in court no little excitement and interest were manifested, seeing that information of the murder had not reached the authorities of Stirling till after the despatch of the morning train, which conveyed his lordship to Falkirk. It appears that a house of questionable fame is kept in the Castlehill, Stirling, by an old pensioner. His pension became duo on Tuesday, and he and his friends of both sexes betook them selves to the consumption of an unlimited quantity of liquor. There had evidently been a series of quarrels in the house, the precise origin of which, however, is not known in the meantime. Several of the persons, on retiring to bed, seem to have been absolutely oblivious from drink. On awakening in the morning, the pensioner states that he found his wife lying in bcd beside him, cold and lifeless, having a ghastly throat wound, effected with some sharp instrument, indicating that she had been murdered. Infor mation having reached the polipe, the persons found in the house were apprehended, and, a w arran t o f committal hav ing been signed by Sheriff Sconce, they were on Wednesday lodged in Stirling prison. One of the women (Christina MtLean, or Peters) is, in the mea n ti me, suspected of having murdered her own sister (the wife of the pensioner). The maiden name of the murdered woman is Jean Peters, and the suspected murderess is the widow of the wretched criminal, M'Lean, who was executed at Linlithgow three or four years ago for the brutal murder of a man at Dur hamtown, near Bathgato,—Falkirk Defendant said he was drunk and wanted to ride. Mr. Beadon said if he (defendant) was drunk the con ductor had a right to refuse him, and was liable to be punished if he did not. In the month of November next power would be given to commit with hard labour for as saults of the kind, and had it been November he would have given him hard labour. He (Mr. Beadon) would like to know what right he (defendant) had to strike a man who was in charge of a public vehicle. Defendant was fined 405., or a month. CURIOUS CIIARGE OF STEALING A HORSE AND CART.— William Thorn, of 5, Holles-street, farrier, and Robert Utbcy - , of 3, Chenies-street, father, were charged with stealing a horse and tort, of the value of £2l, the property of Henry Lewis Steers, a general dealer, of Cherry Orchard road, Surrey. The prosecutor, it appears, had been drinking, and the two accused, probably for a lark, drove off his horse and cart, and lost a quantity of sand from it and the basket, but there appeared little room for giving the accused In charge for a felony. Mr. Beadon said he should discharge the men, and he would advise the prosecutor to keep sober for the future, THAMES. ALLEGED MURDER AT SEA.--SOOR after Mr. Wool rych had taken his seat on the Bench this morning. Mr. J. C. Evans, superintendent of the Thames division of police, who was accompanied by two seamen, named James Gilroy and William Benson, applied for a warrant to appre hend William Burwood Baldry, the master of the ship Shantang, which was away for three years, and which arrived in the port of London about a fortnight since. Mr. Evans said that three of the seamen belonging to the Shantang had made statements to Captain George Pearce, the shipping master at the Sailors' Home, in Well-street, that James Riley, an ordinary seaman, had died on the 12th of September last, at sea, a few days after he had been severely flogged by the captain. The statements of the men wero forwarded to the Board of Trade, with the official log-book, and a communication was made to the Home Secretary. Captain Harris, the Assistant Commis sioner of Metropolitan Police, was directed to put the police in motion, and two of the seamen were now ready to be examined on oath. The third man, a very material wit ness, had gone to Liverpool since he made his statement to Captain Pearce. Gilroy and Benson were then examined at considerable length by Mr. Woolrych, and from their united statements it appeared that the captain had frequently beaten Riley with his fists. Before the ship arrived at St. Helena Riley appeared to be very ill, and he wanted to go on shore vdth other sick men to obtain medicine and medical advice. The captain refused compliance with this request, and said he would give him all the medicine he wanted at sea. After leaving St. Helena Riley got worse. One day the captain ordered Riley to clean some brasswork and assist in tarring the rigging. The mate told the captain that Riley was not able to work. The captain said rope's end him, and make him work. The mate declined doing so, and the captain gave directions for Riley to be sent up from below. As the deceased was coming up the ladder the captain beat him with a rope, and upon reaching the deck he flogged him severely over his body. The deceased sung out for mercy, and the captain said, there is no mercy for y0u,.1 will have your work, or have your life. The captain then tied two over hand knots in the rope and resumed the beating of the deceased, who cried piteously for mercy. All the crew assembled, and one of them proposed to go aft and take the deceased away. Another seaman overruled this, and said you will get yourself in trouble if you interfere. After the captain had beaten Riley in a most savage manner for a long time, the poor fellow was taken below and put into his berth, where he groaned heavily and appeared to be suffering much. Three days after the deceased was flogged he stripped for the pur pose of washing, and his body then presented a dreadful , appearance. The flesh, as described by Gilroy, "was black and blue all over, and the colour of it could not be seen. His breast, legs, and shoulders, were covered with, weals." Five days previous to Riley's death he sent for tie captain, and said, in a faint voice, "are you not ashamed of your self." The captain said "what for." The deceased said, "for not putting me on shore at St. Helena; you have beaten me, and murdered me." The deceased, a l so sa i d, "he la go i ng t o d ie. " want to make a will, as I know I a The captain told him there was no ocoa'sion to make a will, and, on his complaining of cold, gave him a blanket and things to cover him. In answer to questions by M r. W oolrych, the witnesses said they believed that the bruta'. flogging inflicted by C ap- Min Baldry was the cause of the deceased's death. Mr. Woolrych immediately issued his warrant for the apprehension of Captain Baldry, arid it was entrusted to Mr. Evans to execute. Captain Baldry was summoned to this court a few days ago by six of his crew for balances of wages due to them, and he said his own wages were not. paid, and he could not get any money from his owners to pay them. Mr. Selfe then made some strong observations: on the captain's con duct in spending money he had received for and on account of several men shipped in Batavia, FUNERAL OF AND TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO A POLICE INSPECTOR.—On Saturday a numbe'c of police as - sembled in Walcot-place, in front of the late residence of Inspector Stephen Thornton, of the detective department, Scotland-yard (who died suddenly last Mon-day morning, after entertaining a party of his friends the prev ious day to celebrate his 29th year in the police), to ar ;compan y his re mains as far as Kennington-gat e as a ma' r k of respect. Th e funeral procession being formed, advan c ,ed to Kennington gate, where the police filed off and r• °turne d to their sta tions, tions, leaving the hearse and mouruf aig coaches to their way to Ashted, near Epsom,, *where the deceased P was buried, I subjoin a list of the archbishops and bishops who have expressed their conviction of the import ance of the art of elocution being studied under competent masters, by all future candidates for ordi nation. The opinions of their lordships will be found in extenso in the appendix to Mr. d'Orsey's lecture (recently published by Messrs. Bell and Daldy of Fleet-street), and I earnestly commend them to the attention of every thoughtful man. I hope to resume my work at Oxford as usual, early in Michaelmas Term, and trust, now that the press generally has supported the course taken by the Bishop of Rochester, that public opinion will express itself strongly on the subject, and that other bishops will be induced to follow his lord ship's example.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, CHARLES JOHN PLUMPTRE.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(7 is Day.) COURT OF BANKRITP I CY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE W. S. BOUSFIELD. This bankrupt was described as trading, with others, under tl e style of the Patent Engine and Boiler Company, at the Alpha Works, Isle of Dogs. . _ The balance-sheet extends froinDoc•,, , mber, IS6O, to July, 1861, and from a statement of affairs at the former dak there was a surplus of 4768. The present accounts (by Messrs. C. Browne and Dubois) shows—Debtor to creditors, £(387 ; to do. holding security. £4,183 ; liabilities, £2,306 ; creditors by cash, £B3 ; good debts, £693 ; prorerty given up to assignees, £5OO ; do. in the hands of creditors, £4,349; losses, £4,232; domestic expenses, £192. The creditors holding security are family creditors, for money lent, and the property arises under the bankrupt's interest under his brothers. The liabilities are on account of a person named Scott, with whom he had been connected in business. The case had been twice adjourned, but Mr. Murray, foe the assignees, asked for a further adjournment for further inquiry. Mr. Linklater, for the bankrupt, objected, on the ground that the bankrupt had answered all the requisitions of the assignees. The bankrupt ultimately passed 1 1 .11DDLESEX SESSIONS.—(This L'ay.) The adjourned sessions commenced this morning, before the Assistant Judge, at the S9ssions House, Clerkenwell green. Dugdale, the llolywell-street publisher, was indicted for publishing immoral books and prints. Ile pleaded not guilty. He objected to his trial being proceeded with that day, as he had not had sufficient time to prepare his defence. He also claimed before trial a list of the witnesses that were to be examined to bear out the indictment. The Assistant-Judge said every facility should be afforded him to meet the charge; and, in order that he might not complain of haste, he Would postpone the trial till Monday next. Another person, lately carrying on business in Russell court, was indicted for a similar offence, but he 'pleaded guilty. Sentence was postponed until after Dugdate's trial. Stephen Meakin, a labouring man, was indicted for steal ing quantity of lead from the roof of a house in the neigh bourhoed of Leicester-square. Evidence having been adduced to prove the charge, the prisoner called witnesses to character, amongst them his late employer, who said for 12 years ho had placed the greatest reliance in his honesty and had never known him fail. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. One of the warders said the prisoner was known at the House of Correction, as he had been there more than once. The Assistant-Judge recalled the person who had given the prisoner a character for honesty, and asked him what he thought of the information that had just been given to the Court. Mr. Ambrogetti said the prisoner was honest. He knew he was addicted to drink, and that was the reason he had quitted his service. The Assistant-Judge told him that people were not generally sent to the House of Correction for getting drunk ; but as it might be for assault, and not for felony, ho would defer passing sentence till next session, when he should expect to hear something definite about the prisoner. If it turned out he had been before convicted of felony, he would pass a very severe sentence for the offence of which he had just been convicted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH -STREET, ASSAULT ON AN OIkINIBUS CONDUCTOR.—MichaeI Grady, a gas-fitter, and who gave his address, 29, Sloane square, Brompton, was charged with assaulting the con ductor of a Brompton omnibus, badge 6,581. The conductor said the defendant got on his 'bus at the top of the Haymarket the previous night, and seeing that he was drunk he refused to take him as a passenger, and told him to get down. The defendant then used the most dreadful language, the 'bus having several ladies in it at the time, and tried to pull him off his standing place, and then struck him. He afterwards gave the prisoner into custody. CLERICAL ELOCUTION. TO TITE EDITOR OP THE SUN. am very glad to see that the press gc "lallY is giving its powerful aid in favour of the art of public reading and ,sper.kiug being inatle a compulsory study OR the part of all candidates for ordination. The Bishop of itoclwster has done that -which every one must admit is a step in the right direc tion. But it is only fair to other zilembets of the Episcopal bench, to Eay that nearly all have expressed iu the strongest terms their approval of the art of public reading and speaking being studied by all clergymen and candidates for ordina tion, and I am happy to say this expression of opinion is beginning to have due Weight in both universities. It is now just twelvc months ago since I ventured to submit to the Vice Chancellor of Oxft , rd a pro position (of course accompanied by Fat' sfa etory tes timonials as to competency to undertake the task), that in the absense of any endowed professorship of elocution at that university, I might be per amni d t t e p d r a t c o t i give f l e t c h t i , e u r a e r s t a a t n d m hold o c m l a s s s a e t o x s o f r f t o l r i the . stud yl y proposal meeting with a prompt and courteous ac quiescence on the part of thcVice-Chancellor, I com menced the work by giving a public lecture to the members of the University on the Gth of November last, at the Star Assembly Rooms, " On Elocution considered in reference to Professional Life." The experiment met with immediate success, members of the University, graduates as well as undergraduates, entered their names as pupils, the following morning ; and from that time I have de voted the first three days in the week during the Oxford terms to residing there and receiving mem bers of the University as pupils in elocution. A similar work was begun the same day at the sister University by my valued friend, the Rev. Alex. J. D. d'Orsey (the English lecturer of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge) and adverted to by him in his lecture last February at the Royal Insti tution, " On the study of the English Language, as an essential part of a University course." The introductory lectures which I gave at Oxford last Michaelmas Term were published, as you are aware, early in the present year, and for the favourable notice they received from yourself and the press generally I feel my best thanks are most justly due. I cannot help saying that I think one great mis take has been committed in surrendering the teach ing of elocution almost exclusively hitherto to retired members of the theatrical profession. Hence an idea has sprung up that a man who has studied elocution must of necessity be artificial and what is termed " theatrical" in manner, and clergymen have consequently foregone many advantages from the dread lest the charge should be brought against them—whether unjustly or justly—that in their reading or preaching they aimed at " stage effect." I gladly and readily admit the obligations owing equally by pastors and congregations to more than one eminent tragedian for instruction given in the important art of "Reading Aloud," but what I assert to be matter of regret is, that hitherto the stage has, with a few rare but striking ex ceptions, almost monopolised excellence in elocu tion. Surely the Church, whose office it is to deal with solemn realities and not fictions, ought not to think beneath its notice the study of an art by which even fictions are made for the time to seem almost realities. I am sure that any man who will give an hour or two for a couple of months to studying and prac tising regularly every day the elements of elocution, will conquer many apparently serious obstacles to his efficiency, whether arising from defective articu lation, or from what is often thought to be, but is not so in reality, a naturally weak voice. Let him only do this, and he will find his reward in reading and preaching with perfect ease and comfort to himself, while at the same time he will appear to his congregation to be alike in voice and manner, earnest, simple, manly, and natural. BOOK CANVASSERS AND HAWKERS' ' LICENSES. A case, which had been several times remanded, was decided on Saturday at the Manchester police court, in which Thos. Slater, a canvasser or hawker in the service of Mr. Ainsworth, of Piccadilly, Man chester, was charged with "carrying to sell, or ex posing for sale," numbers or various parts of various publications. George Wood, the license inspector who laid the information, said that on the 26th September he saw the defendant enter several houses in Butler street, Manchester, with a pack. He followed him into the shop of Mr. Taylor, draper, where he was exposing his goods for sale. He asked the defendant if he had a dictionary, and the latter showed him a "shilling part" of one. Amongst the other.books was Sir Walter Scott's " Waverley." Witness asked the defend ant if he was aware he required a license, and he said he was not liable to have to obtain one, because he hawked answer mfor the man a s whoto " made" them ; and in to a question who the maker was, he said " Mr. Ainsworth, of Piccadilly. " The defen dant was then given into the custody of a police officer. Mr. William Taylor said the defendant had pre viously left a number of a book at his premises, and called for it on the day named. The defendant said Wood could have the whole of th e num b ers of the dictionary, Ernestj if Jones, for quir the defence,edthem,fori havingl2s. addressed r .

In answer to the complainant, Mr. Ainsworth said he was not the printer of any of the books found in the defendant's pack ; they were his property. Mr. Ross said the Bench felt compelled to con vi▪ ct. It could not be said that the defendant was in any way the maker of the goods, or went sound as a commercial traveller. It would be satisfactory to them, however, if the question was settled in a higher court, and they should be glad if an appeal • was made. The defendant was fined the lowest penalty (one-fourth of the fullest amount), viz., °" 5 and costs.
