MONEY MARK ET AND CITY IVE .f.% CITY, Tlio o'CLocirc, During the last few days the operations in,. 'the Markets for Foreign and Colonial produce have I seen of a rather active character, and for most of the principal staples prices have shown an upward ten dency. Tea has continued in steady request , and for good grocery descriptions of sugars ti in in . quiries have been on an increased scale. CO See has continued in demand at full prices, whit a a fair business has been transacted in fruit eat spices. Rice has remained without any material c'h,ange in values, and only limited transactions hav e been recorded in saltpetre. The tallow market has continued extremely active, and owing to the smallness of the 'stock in the hands of the dealers quotations have s i nown in creased firmness P.Y.C., on the spot, is quoted, 50g.. to 50s. 6d. ; last three months, 595. , 6(1., and spring delivery 51s. per cwt. About £35,000 in gold was taken into the Bank of England yesterday. The large quantity of silver brought by the Tas manian from the West Indies has be en disposed off —the bars at ss. Id, per oz., and the Mexican dollar at 4s. lltd. per oz., being an advance of id. in the former, and in the latter, on the rate realised for the previous supply. The Tagus for Lisbon has conv(!yed £25,000 in sovereigns. There is an increase of £229 in Vile traffic receipts of the South Eastern Railway fc ,r the past week, but a decrease of £3BB on the Brighton. Notice has been given that the guaranteed inte rest of 6 percent. per annum , upo in the shares, and 5 per cent. on the Banks of the R oyal Danish Rail way will be payable on and after the 25th inst. The half yearly dividend of Bs.. 6d. per share on the shares of the Alliance British and Foreign Life Assurance Company will be paid on the 10th inst. It has been notified by the S panish Financial Commission that the auction of the Redeemable Debt will take place at Madrid o u the 30th inst., for which purpose the Governmen t have assigned 3,270,872 reels. The Money Market to-day has exhibited no change of importance, the inquiries having been moderate, at previous quotations. Owing to the dulness of trade the commercial demand is parti cularly limited, but the general can for money is aagmented at the present moment by the revenue collections. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday con• tinned activity prevailed, and prices tended up. wards. The sales were estimated at 15,000 bales. A very quiet market has prevailed to-day for Public Securities, business being exceedingly dull, especially on speculative account, while the deal ings for transfer have also been too limited to create animation. Consols are 921 93 for money and the 18th inst. ; and 93/ 1 for November. The New Threes and the Reduced are firm. at 90191/ ; Exchequer Bills, March, par to 3s. prem. ; ditto, June, 7s. to 9s. prem. ; Indian 5 per Cent. Loan is 1031 ; and the Bonds are steady, at 15s. prem. A fair amount of business has been recorded in the Foreign Stock Market, and prices in some in stances have shown mole firmness. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 841 d ; ditto, 1858, 68/ 691 ; Mexican have improved to 26/ 1, Russian to loot, and Dutch 4 per Cents. to 991; Grenada 2 per Cents. are 19/ ; Sardinian remain at 81; but Spanish are flat, at 491 50. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been unimportant, but in one or two instances prices have exhibited more firmness. Lancashire and Yorkshire, Midland, North Eastern (Ber wick) have improved ss. ; and North Western and South Wales, 10s., and South Eastern, £l. Business in the Foreign and Colonial undertak ings• continues dull, and little change of import ance took place in values. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian realised 16/ ; Great Luxem bourg, 8: ; East Indian declined to 1011 ; and 'Great Indian Peninsula improved to 981. Joint-stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are exceedingly dull, without any change of im portance in value. Union of London brought 274 ; and Peninsula and Oriental Steam, 684.

CORN MERCHANT.---IN RE BASSA.LT.-- - - JUDGMENT. His Honour this morning gave judgment in the case of this bankrupt, who was a corn dealer and factor at Ux bridge, and the application for certificate was argued at great length a few days since. The bankrupt had been indicted on several cases, but acquitted, and it was urged on his behalf that ho ought not be subjected to any penalty under the Bankrupt laws, but ho was strongly opposed by tno assignees on general grounds, and by Mr. Way, a creditor, for fraud. His Honour reviewed the general facts of the case. The bankrupt had carried on business for 20 years, and had acquir e d a reputation w hi c h i n d uce d persons to place great Con fidence rs.... in him, and he a pp eare d t o h ave ma i nta i ned that _Li!ur. o a u t r o n without s p o t or bl em i s h up to July, 18G0. His onsaid he would read the report of the official assi g n ee, founded, on the accounts by Messrs. Harris Brothers and H a in debted for not bernes, and to which he was, no doubt, in convicted at the Criminal Court. He not b for a single moment dispute the d (h ir i e s c l t l io o n no t u o r t ) he w J o u u rf; by the learned Judge that there was no legal fraud, but which had unquestionably committed a grave offenceebe tho Court could take cog that he was being tried taisance of. It could not for the same offence, for he h a d id learned judge on a f ac ts, but under the direction o f n t o h t e bes n acquitted on the gro e s v l er, had considered point of law. He (his honour), h ow the conduct of the bankrupt so v e ry properly was :e ekn and d e s fo a r id e wished for the opinion of a jury. The casewrong that he him, and he was opposed, and assignees for the creditors generally, and r b 'y so, by the He went through the evidence reported last .&.3' Mr. Way. he could not come to any other conclusion that th rupt's conduct came within the 253 d section, of obetab"ank goods under false pretences from Mr. Way, and e n t i h n e g r offences ; but there was one great fact in his f, event, that his books had been exceedingly well kept. Under all the circumstances, the certificate would be suspended for 15 months from the date of the petition, and then to be of the third class. He said that before he indorsed the certificate as to the c a u s e of suspicion, he would give the as s i gnees and Mr. Way time to consider whether they wished pro tection to be withheld, which, if he indorsed the writ, they must do. He should adjourn his formal judgment for a week. The assignees and Mr. Way said they would consent to Protection being granted. His Honour said it must be a request, not a consent. Protection was then granted. The Commerce Breton, a piper published at St. Mato, states that the cod-fishing has been very unproduc tive this year. The most fortunate fishermen have re turned with two-thirds of their usual complement, and others, more unfortunate, with loss than ono-third. SHARE MARKET--(THIS DAY.) ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS.

The. Ariel, 7, screw, had sailed the same day on a cruise. The Penguin, 5, screw, Lieut. M'llardy, tender to the Narcissus, had arrived at the island ,in advance of the Narcissus, and was to await her arrival. The Lyra, 9, screw, was also there, but was to sail on the 27th of August for the Cape, and probably thence on to England. Orders have been at length received at Ports mouth to break up and remove the ruins of the Meteor floating battery from No. 2 dock at that port. The Meteor was placed in this dock on the 10th of November, 1860. She bad after wards her armour plates removed from her sides and was opened up for examination, when she was found to be in such a defective state throughout the whole of her frame that it was evident the cost of rebuilding her would greatly exceed any value she could represent when complete. The dock will once again become available for the public service. This dock ;,will take in line-of-battle chips of the Princess Royal class. ' The Warrior, 40, screw, Capt. the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., will not make her trial at the measured mile in Stokes Bay at so early a date as was originally determined on—the 10th inst. The exact time has not yet been fixed. A great improve ment has been made in the appearance of the ship's hull, by substituting white, picked out with gold, for the former heavy looking bronze of the figure head, and also the carving on the stern and quarter galleries. Rear-Admiral Charles Eden, C. 8., left the Admiralty, Whitehall, yesterday afternoon for Portsmouth. It is understood that the gallant Ad miral will not return to the Admiralty until after the trial of the Warrior over the measured mile. The Nelson, 90, screw, is ordered into dock at Portsmouth to ascertain the whereabouts of a leak that has been in existence for some time in her bottom. Yesterday a number of additional shipwrights, joiners, and smiths were placed on the Defence, 22, iron frigate, in the the third dock at Chatham, in order that every effort may be made to fit her for sea. Nearly the whole of the hands placed on board her have been hired for that purpose, the various vessels now building at Chatham prevent ing any of the shipwrights and artisans being taken off them. Daring the last few days about 200 extra mechanics have been entered at Chatham, and a number of hands are still required, preference being in all cases given to those workmen who were discharged a few months since, on the reduc tion being made. There is still a great deal of work in the way of fitting to be completed on board the Defence, but, from the energy shown by the dockyard t a few w ee k s w ill, it i s con dny anticipated, authorities,ated, see her fit to b e un d oc k e d to ea re ceive her masts on board. She is to be ventilated after precisely the same system as that adopted on board the Warrior, which has been found to answer so satisfactorily. The President, 51, fitting in the fourth dock at Chatham as a training ship for the London Naval Reserve Volunteers, to be stationed in tho Thames, has had a number of additional hands placed on her, in order that she may be completed during this month, when, according to present arrangements, the Rattlesnake, 21, screw corvette, 400-horse power, will be admitted into the same dock, to be fitted for the steam reserve. A portion of the additional shipwrights and other hired mechanics recently entered at Chatham dockyard will be placed on board the line-of-battle screw steamer Bulwark, 91, which is to be cut asunder and otherwise altered to adapt her for a 51-gun iron•cased frigate as soon as the plans and drawings for the proposed alterations have been finally approved by Admiral Robinson, the Con troller of the Navy. The engines for the Bulwark, which are of 800-horse power, nominal, being nearly completed, will, it is understood, be placed on board the Royal Oak, 51, iron-plated steamer, at Chatham, which will be ready for them some time before the alterations arc effected in the Bulwark. The screw stearrtsloop Malacca, 17, Capt. Napier, from Sheerness and Portsmouth for the Mediterra nean, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Sunday even ing. The Norwegian corvette Nornen left Plymouth Sound yesterday for the West Indies. The screw steam-corvette Orestes, 21, at Ply mouth, is ready to leave for the Cape of Good Hope on the arrival of the gunboat Handy, which she escorts to Sierra Leone. The screw steam-gunboat Speedy, 4, Mr. Burney master, went yesterday from Hamoaze into Ply mouth Sound for the purpose of trying her ma chinery. The Java, one of the old 50-gun frigates, was taken into dock yesterday to have her ballast dis charged, and her copper taken off her bottom before being iron-plated for a .target vessel. This precau tion will be the means of preventing much pecula tion which has been found to exist on the ships hitherto removed to Portchester Lake for a similar purpose, The Handy, screw gun-vessel, Lieutenant-Com mander Glover, is now ready for sea. She will go out of harbour to-day. The Cambrian, 40, sailing-frigate, Commodore James M'Cleverty, C. 8., may be expected at Spit head daily from the East Indies and China. By a letter from her the writer says—" You may look out for us almost as soon a s th e Ch e sapeake." The Racoon, screw steam-corvette, Captain W. C. Chamberlain. is hourly expected at Spithead from the Mediterranean. It is anticipated she will be paid off at this port. Orders have been received at Chatham from the Admiralty directing that the whole of the gun-boats in the first division are to be supplied with Arm strong's rifled cannon in lieu of the smooth-bore guns which have up to the present time been in use, and in accordance with that order the Carnation was yesterday brought alongside the ordnance-wharf at Chatham, where she discharged one 68-pounder and one 33-pounder, together with the carriages. She then shipped two new carriages suitable for a 100- pounder and a 40-pounder Armstrong, of which her armament is for the future to consist, and her slides underwent some slight alteration to accommodate the new carriages. Neno of the vessels are, how ever, to take on board the new guns until they are required for service. We have to announce the death of Admiral G. Le Geyt, which took place recently at St. Helier's, Jersey, at the advanced age of 84. The deceased entered the navy in 1791 as captain's servant, and was subsequently appointed master's mate of the Prince Edward, in which vessel in 1795 he wit nessed the capture of two French vessels ; in the following year he was present at the capture of a French frigate, and was shortly afterwards nominated acting-lieutenant of the Rover, in which he assisted at the taking of Le Jean Bart privateer. In 1799 he was appointed Second Lieutenant of the Tamar, and was present at the reduction of Surinam and the capture of several French ships. In 1803 he was promoted to the command of the Stork, in which vessel he remained a n n in d e su y b ea se r q s tinique until its surrender. The deceased , u e e ff n e t l c y t i effecting s s t t h i e ng ca i p n tu tb re e o b f; o s e e k r a e r d a e l i o v f e s: T e a l r s : admiral obtained post-rank in 1812, and was nominated a Companion of the Bath in 1840. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Wm. G. Douglas, to the Cornwallis, additional for service in the Coastguard; Ramsay Cooke, master to the Asia. for the Stromboli; Joseph Lovering, acting chief engineer to the Asia, for the Stromboli ; Henry Cook, engineer to the InLus, for the Perseus; Alexander Bothwick, act ing first-class assist.-engineer, to the Asia, for-the Highlander ; Edward D.

Dick Lander have been nomi nated to naval cadetships. REELECTION OF THE LORD MAYOR. This afternoon the retiring Lo.d Mayor, who received the highest number of votes from the Livery, was re-elected for another year. Lieut.-Col. Sir H. M. Havelock, son of the Ge , neral, has arrived at Aldershott and entered on his duties as Deputy-Assistant -Adjutant-General of the division, in the room of Major Nugent, who has been appointed Assistant-Quartermaster-General in Nova Scotia. Sir Henry Havelock, who entered the army in 1846, is in his 33d year. The principal event at Aldershot during the last few days has been the half yearly inspection of the various regiments composing the division. Among the regiments Inspected may be mentioned the 9th Lancers, by Major.. Gen. Lord George Paget ; the Royal Engineers ( A troop, 2d company and 9th company), by Col. Simmons and Lieut.-Gen. Sir J. Pennefather ; the Ist battalion, Bth (" The King's") Regiment, the 61st Regiment, and the 2d Battalion, 16th Regiment, by Brigadier-Gen. Brook Taylor; the 2d Battalion, 20th Regiment, and the 53d Regi ment, by Brigadier-Gen. Brown ; and the 28th end 84th Regiments, by Btigadier-Gen. Russell. The inspection of the remaining regiments in camp-- viz., the 12th Lancers, the 16th Lancers, the 3d, 4th, and part of the sth battalions military train, the 78th Highlanders, the 45th Regiment, the Ist Battalion 60th Rifles, &0., was continued on Satur day and yesterday by Major-Gen. Lord G. Paget (Cavalry Brigade), Brigadier-Gen. Brown (2d In fantry Brigade), and Brigadier-Gen. Russell (3d Infantry Brigade). The regiments inspected have made a creditable appearance. The sergeants of the 78th Highlanders have just celebrated at Aldershott the fourth anniversary of the first relief of Lucknow by the troops under Gen. Havelock in 1857. The healths of Gen. Lord Clyde, Lieut.-Gen. Sir J. Outram, Lieut.-General M'Neill, and other distinguished officers, were drunk with great enthusiasm. The non-commis sioned officers of the Commissariat staff corps have also celebrated the anniversary of the formation of that useful branch of the service. The Government is about to make considerable alterations and additions at the cavalry barracks, Maidstone, to provide increased accommodation for the officers and troops attached to the cavalry depot. The chief of the alterations will include the erection of a new and commodious riding-school, about 160 ft. in length and upwards of 50 in width, at an estimated cost of £3OOO, the contract for which has been taken by Mr. Naylar, Rochester. Addi tional quarters are also to be erected, which will necessitate the removal of several houses abutting on the barracks. The new block of buildings will be constructed of brick, with iron girders, the pre sent barracks being built of wood. IHE PRISONERS HELD BY THE FEDE .RAL GOVERNMENT AT FORT LAFAYETTE. (From the New York Herald.) We have been furnished with the following interesting account of matters at Fort Lafayette by Mr. M. C. Stanley, a recent inmate thereof, who was discharged upon an investigation of his case, which established his entire innocence of the charges brought against him, and exhibited him as a perfectly loyal Union man : " Upon the arrival of the prisoner at Fort Hamilton he is at once delivered into the charge of Colonel Burke, and the document for his com mitment exhibited. The document comes from either the Secretary of War or Secretary of State, accord ing as the prisoner is one of war or of state. Col. Burke thereupon has the accused ferried across the little channel which flows between Fort Hamilton and Fort Lafayette, and upon his arrival in the latter stronghold he is given into the charge of the commanding officer, Lieut. Wood, who writes out a receipt for his prisoner. After this formula is over he is shown to his quarters, which of late have been the casemates or gun-rooms around the walls of the fort. This economy has bean necessitated by the filling up of the more desirable officers' quar ters by the first arrivals. " Aa soon as the new comer is left to himself he is at once surrounded by his now fellow-prisoners, and plied with questions as to his name, where he came from, and what are the charges against him, which usually wind up with an expression on the part of the interrogators of doing all they can to render his stay as agreeable' as possible. The conversation continues, and when friendly relations have been established he is very blandly asked what he will have for his dinner or supper, ac cording to the hour at which he arrives. In the same breath they extol the delicious character of beef steak with mushrooms, and broiled chicken or other savoury dishes, and urge him, some to have the former, others the latter. In a maze of astonish ment at this good treatment of criminals by an offended government he states his choice, or perhaps expresses a wish for a little of several of the dishes mentioned ; and the character of the wine then comes up for extolment, and the wags get into quite a dispute among themselves as to the relative qual. ties of the Burgundy, Port, Madeira, claret, &c., which is given them at dinner. The still further astonished prisoner drinks all this in with con siderable pleasure, and beginning to get over the fright which his arrest and incarceration have pro duced, congratulates himself that a stayat Fort La fayette is a capital thing. But his fond delusion— at least, the one produced by his fellow-prisoners— soon vanishes when the conversation which by this time has, of course, changed to other subjects, is suddenly interrupted by the signal for dinner or supper, and he is conducted to his seat in the dining room, where, in place of a mahogany table with lustrous white damask cloth, silver service, and richly cut glass ware, all of which his imagination had conjured up, he discovers a plain deal table, unpainted and without a cloth, with a tin plate containing a piece of partially cooked pork, a tin cup of coffee, and a large chunk of bread. As he contemplates this in dismay a loud laugh from his fellow-prisoners, who, from the door have been watching his movements, throws a little light on his disordered intellect, and he perceives that he has been the victim of a hoax. This constitutes his installation into FoLt Lafayette society, and he in turn becomes as eager as the rest to 'sell' the next new comer. " This is one of the ways in which the inmates manage to while away the time, and, in fact, it has become so popular among them that the an nouncement in the daily papers (which, by the way, they receive every morning regularly before one o'clock) of any arrest at once creates quite an ex citement, and everything is prepared to thoroughly initiate the expected individual. " Those of the prisoners who have means and friends can pass time in comparative comfort. A mess has been established, by permission of the commanding officer, which is under the control of the ordnance serjeant a ttached to the post. It numbers about 30, and at a cost of one dollar a head per diem the table is supplied from market daily with good food of every description, together with such viands and liquors they may choose to purchase extra. The trade is better, in fact, than such as aro provided in second-class hotels at fashionable watering-places. " Tho sleeping arrangements are also very com fortable. The mattresses, bedding, blankets, and sheets are of good quality, and care is taken to keep them clean. The bedsteads are small iron ones, which are folded up in the daytime, making addi tional room in the somewhat confined quarters. " Two hours a day are allowed to prisoners for exercise out of doors in the open space in the centre of the fort, viz., between six and seven o'clock in the morning and between five and six o'clock in the evening. In the intervals they are confined in the rather commodious quarters which are appropriated to officers when the fort is completely garrisoned, where they amuse themselves playing chess, draughts, backgammon, whist, and the like, read the newspapers, or discusss the events of the day as they reach them through the last-mentioned channel. At nine o'clock every light is extin guished and universal silence prevails until the next dawn awake them to re enact the same un varied routine. " In case of sickness Mrs. Wood, the lady of the commanding officer, is unremitting through her domestics, in kindness and attention, and has won the esteem of all the inmates for her considerate " With. the water occasionally bad on account of absence of rain, with some defects in the cooking arrangements, which are not sufficient to supply the extra quanity of rations now in demand, ren dering them only partially prepared for edibility, the prisoners still manage to pass their time of incarceration in a much more pleasant manner than is generally believed, with the exception only of the privateers' men, or pirates, as they are deemed, who are closely confined and supplied with Government rations. They are not denied, however, any luxury which is sent in from outside, nor prohibited from purchasing such, as they sometimes do by clubbing their limited funds together." The New York Herald gives the following list of persons from foreign countries who have taken service in the Federal army :.prince Salm-Salm, Prussia; Count Liebenhoff, Prussia; Lieut. Oscar Brendeuer, Prussia; Lord Adolphus Vane Tempest, England; Lieut.-Col. Fitz roy Do Courcy, England ; Count de Paris, France; Duc de Chartres, France; Capt. Vegesach, Sweden; Capt.

SCULLEItS' RACE FOR £100.: A smilers' race for £5O a side came off yesterday between William Delamaine and Robert Hewlett, both of Deptford; the former just out of his time, and the latter an appren tice. It was expected there would be a good race, but the spectators on board the Diamond Funnel Packet Company's boat the Fairy, were disappointed sadly. Both had taken good care of themselves, and looked well, but Delamaine seemed somewhat too finely trained. Mr. Wm. Gilbert was umpire for Howlett, G. Mears for Delamaine, and Mr. Forrest was referee. Delamaine had the best place on the north shore, the distance being from North Woolwich to Deptford (Upper Watergate). They got away evenly together in old-fashioned boats, and so remained for a quarter of a mile, when Howlett began to take a slight lead, and this he gradually increased until at Blackwall'he was leading by three lengths, and this he further increased all the way. Delamaine rowed pluckily, but Howlett beat him by a quarter of a mile, doing the distance in 33 minutes. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. HAY MARKETS.

They had completed a boring, and were in the act of ramming home the charge of powder, when, it is supposed, the iron with which they were packing the shot struck against some substance which caused a spark to ignite the gunpowder. A fearful explosion took place right in the faces of the men, tossing them in all directions, ono poor fellow being thrown nearly 30 feet, yet, strange to say, none of them were hurt, with the exception of one man, who sustained a slight cut on his left eyelid. THE GAIN OF GODLINESS.—With that matrimo. nial good fortune which very often attends members of the clerical profession, we are informed that one of the curates of the most fashionable and affluent parish in Bristol—a gentleman much respected by his congregation and friends —is about to marry an accomplished young heiress, whose family reside in the district, and whose fortune on her mar riage day will be L 50,000, with fully twice that sum in re • version.—• Western Daily Press.
