410.NEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. There is not the slightest change of importance in the position of the money market, the applica tions being still very much restricted, while the rates continue to range from 31 per cent., which, of course, has the effect of diminishing the number of enquiries at the Bank of EHgland. There is an abundance of money on the Stock Excbange,advances on Government Securities having been negotiable as low as 2 per cent., notwithstanding the recent settlement of accounts, which usually has the effect of stimulating the inquiry. The progress of monetary affairs on the Conti nent continues to engage attention, and it is satis factory to find rather a more hopeful tone in the letters received from Paris. It is stated that the Bank of France has arranged to draw upon bankers at Hamburg to the extent of 1 1 ,400,000, and that further operations of a similar character are in contemplation elsewhere. The rates of discount in some other continental cities are advancing, the Bank of Frankfort having raised its minimum quo tation from 3 to 4 per cent. About £22,000 in gold was taken into the Bank of England yesterday. The royal mail steamer La Plata, which left to day for the West Indies, took £7,100 in specie. Increased activity prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were very firm. The sales amounted to fully 25,000 bales. Renewed indications of heaviness have been per ceptible in the Market for Public Securities to-day, the position of monetary affairs in France still operating as an incentive to the speculators to pro ceed for a decline in prices. Sales for transfer have also produced some effect. The variation in prices to-day, however, has been very limited. Consols have been 924- a for transfer; and 921 I f for the 7th proximo ; but are now 92 7 1- ; and 921 re spectively. The New Threes are steady at 901 4 ; the Reduced at 901 ; Exchequer Bills, March, firm at 4s. prem. ; ditto, June, at 10s. prem. ; Bank Stock has receded to 2311 ; India 5 per Cent. Loan is 031 104. Very little alteration has taken place in Foreign Securities, and the dealings are to an average ex tent. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 81/ ; ditto, 1858, 691 ; Chilian 4* per Cents. are steady at 844 ; Spanish firm at 508; Mexican at 259 24, and Dutch at 64* ; Brazilian 4* per Cents. are 91. A Ermer tone has prevailed in the market for American Securities during the past week. The subjoined remarks are from the circular of Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite ;—The market in London for American Securities has been firmer during the past week, consequent upon the improved quota tions received from New York. Prices here still rule lower than in America, taking exchange into consideration, so that such Stock as comes to market is freely taken for exportation. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : or • 1861.

On the North Western there is a decrease of £3,215 ; on the Lancashire and Yorkshire, of £2,676 ; on the North Eastern, of £569 ; on the Grand Trunk of Canada, of £283 ; and on the Great Western of Canada, of £1,980. The Great Western, however, shows an increase of £2,203; the South Western, of £668; the Brighton, of £176 ; the Midland, of £839; the Great Northern, of £4,052 ; and the Manchester, •Sheffield, and Lincoln, of £773. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have continued moderately active, and a further slight advance has taken place in values. Great Westerns, Eastern Counties, Midlands, and South-Easterns have improved ss. ; North British, 10s.; and Cale donian 15s. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, however, declined ss, and Great Northern brought about previous rates. The Foreign and Colonial lines have exhibited little change of importance. Dutch Rhenish have improved 55., East Indian and Grand Trunk of Canada, 55., and Scinde, 10s. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are a shade firmer. London and Westminster im proved 10s.; Oriental Bank, £1 ; Canada Land declined 10s., and Red Sea Telegraph ss.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR REDEMP. TION ? An important question on this head has been raised by a pamphlet which has recently appeared, casting doubts on the validity of the Indian guarantees.* The contract be tween the Government and the Indus Flotilla Company, it Seems, provides that 17 per cent. shall be annually set aside by the Governor of Bombay as a first charge on re venue, and which accumulated amount is to be forfeited to the Government should the latter be called upon to purchase the vessels. The question therefore arises, if this annual payment, or its accumulated arrears, is to be regarded as a first charge on the capital, where do the debentures rank ? A debenture is virtually a mortgage of property, given as security for r epayment of money advanced as a loan. But it is only in special cases in which a mortgage is considered good, unless it is a first mortgage ; and in the case of such perishable property a s river steamers, even a first mortgage can scarcely be considered a very eligible investment. It is h i g hl y important, then, that the fact of this alleged in debtedness should be fully investigated by those contem plating the investment of money in such Indian securities as those now being offered, as, if it should turn out that the , vessels of the company issuing those debentures are al ready virtually mortgaged, by a charge of 17 per cent. per annum on the capital, a material fact will have been kept out of sight. By a Man c h ester "A Guide to In dian Investments." Nan. London : Trubner and Co. Orders have been given in France to construct six mortar vessels according to a new plan said to have been devised by the Emperor Napoleon himself. The new works for the enlargement of the bar racks at Warley, near Brentwood, are to be carried out forth with at a cost of £6,000. The Royal Artillery force at that station now amounts to 700 rank and file. DEATH OF W. TAGET t F.R.C.S.I.—This dis tinguished member of the medical profession in Ireland, th© contemporary of Cusac, Marsh, Harrison, &c.—ex pired yesterday, after a protracted illnes. As an hospital Surgeon and school lecturer, says Saunders, he did " more than any other man of his time to elevate the character of Irish surgery." SNOW IN SWITZERLAND.--A letter from the can ton of Uri (Switzerland), states that great quantities of snow have fallen there within the last few days. A dili gence was overwhelmed three days since by an avalanche Xear Hospenthal, but all the passengers were rescued un hurt. in the Grisons, 200 sheep have been buried under avalanches, and 700 head of cattle lost from a similar oause in the canton of Ticino.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Fano.) FIRST APPLICATION UNDER THE NEW ACT FOR DIS- CHARGE FROM CUSTODY.-RE GLASS. Mr. Brough, instructed by Mr. Weston, Moorgate-street, applied for the discharge of this bankrupt from custody. This bankrupt had only been in custody three days, and had made a previous application to Mr. Commissioner Evans, who declined to interfere until notice had been given. Mr. Tees opposed on behalf of the judgment creditor, and said that under the old act the Court, except under special circumstances, refused to discharge from custody until assignees had been chosen. The bankrupt had filed his petition, and he (Mr. Tees) contended that ho could not be discharged until he had complied with the provisions of the 93d section of the new Act, and had filed an account of his estate and effects. The opposition was not vexatious, but as many similar cases were likely to occur, it was desirable that the practice should be settled. Mr. Brough said that the application was made under the 11th section of the Act of 1849, and there was no rule that the balance-sheet should be filed before discharge, and he submitted that the Court had power to order the dis charge. His Honour, after referring to the new act and rules, said that the safer plan would be not to make the order until the statement of affairs had been filed. Mr. Brough said that could be done to-morrow, or even to-day, and his Honour would, perhaps, direct that on filing such statement the bankrupt should be discharged. His Honour.said that the statement must be in court before he could make any order. The bankrupt was, therefore, taken back in custody. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MAR LBOROTJGH-STREET. DOUBTFUL CHARGE OF FELONY AGAINST A GROCER'S FOREMAN.—Robert Newton Wiskell, a respectable looking man, in the employ of Mr. John Timson, grocer, of Ber wick• street, Soho, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a sovereign from the till cf his employer. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Groat Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoner. Thomas Hustwick, shopman to Mr. Timson, said that on the previous afternoon he saw the prisoner, who was fore man to Mr. Timson, go to the till and take a sovereign from it, and retain it in his hand. He (witness) then sent for Mrs. Timson, and subsequently Mr. Timson came. When prisoner was charged be said he had been 12 years in the trade, and denied the charge. The prisoner was not sober at the time. In answer to Mr. Lewis, the witness said prisoner had only been employed five weeks, and was paid his wages yes terday, he being under warning to leave. The witness also admitted that he had not been on good terms with the pri soner, who had struck him. He had seen 30s. in gold in the till, and missed it after the prisoner had been to it, but a boy had also been there. Inspector Walker, C division, said be took prisoner in charge, and found three sovereigns and 16s. on him. He denied the charge, and said he should bring an action against the prosecutor. The prisoner was drunk at the time, and had sent for a oab to Mr. Timson's door to leave in. In answer to Mr. Lewis, the inspector said Mr. Timson had paid the prisoner £2 Bs., and he found £3 16s. on him. Mr. Timson said, in answer to a question from Mr. Lewis, that he had a good character with the prisoner, and that the reason why he was discharging him was because he got drunk. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had no doubt the witness thought the prisoner took the sovereign ; but there was not enough evidence. He should therefore discharge prisoner. LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS.

CRUELTY TO A HORSE.-1 his morning a young man named George Rice was placed at the bar charged with cruelly illtreating a horse. From the evidence of the police-constables it appeared that the animal was harnessed to a loaded scavenger's cart, and the prisoner finding the poor beast unable to drag the load, he commenced beating it with the butt-end of the whip until it fell down. The constables seeing this ill-usage, went up to the prisoner and took him into custody. He attempted to defead the cruelty by stating that it was " temper" on the part of the horse. That statement was untrue, as it was soon discovered that the animal was in a dangerous condition arising from glanders. To such an extent was the horse diseased that it had to be killed this morning. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the horse being diseased, but he admitted he knew it to be an "old'un," and possessed of a good deal of " temper." The magistrate said it was a bad case, and fined the pri soner 80s., or 21 days' imprisonment. UNRULY PAUPERS.—Two young men, named llarvey and Winter, were charged with breaking windows at St. Pancras Workhouse. From the evidence it appeared that the two men applied for admission last night, which was refused. They said they would have a lodging somewhere and took up a stone and broke a large pane of glass in one of the windows. The magistrate said they should have lodgings in prison for three days if they did not pay for the damage done. They were locked up. Two boys, Camp and Clerk, were sent to prison for three months, for stealing the lead piping from one of the out buildings of the Great Northern Railway. THIS DAY'S SKIPPING.

The 4th Stafford shit e Battalion were being inspected on the drill ground, in that town, by Major Dick, the Government inspector for the district, and in the presence of Lord Hatherton, lord lieutenant of the county, when, as the men were engaged in file firing, Private Baggaley, of the Tettenhall Company, was shot in the right hand. The wound, it is supposed, was occasioned by his rear-rank man. The wounded man was carried off the field to an adjoining inn, and Surgeon Hancox, of the Bilston company, amputated the fourth finger, and also took away a portion of the hand. It is feared that the third finger will also be lost. At the last drill of this battalion a man's eye was shot out by a blank cartridge. THE CHARGE OF MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS.— At the Thames Police-court, yesterday, Captain William Baldry, master of the ship Shantung, was placed before Mr. Woolrych for final examination, charged with wilfully murdering John Riley on the high seas on or about the 12th Sept. last. The magistrate fully committed the pri soner for trial on the capital charge. Bad news has arrived in France from Cochin China. M. Lavassier de Lavergne, the chief of the staff of Admiral Bonard, commanding the forces in that country, bas been recalled from Toulon, where he was to have re embarked for his post. His recall is attributed to an in tention of organising an expeditionary force of 5,000 to pene trate the Hue, the capital of Cochin China, a measure with out which it is not thought possible to place relations with that country on a satisfactory footing, After the experi ence in China this remedy seems certainly more effective than any other. There is an increase this year in the number of freshmen entered at the minor colleges at Cambridge ; al though at St. John's and Trinity there is a slight falling off.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING'. WEDNESDAY. A change has come over the weather, and the warm sun shine of yesterday gave place to a cloudy sky and a keen breeze. No time was there to lose in the morning's settling of accounts, for the races began at 12 o'clock, but business was conducted very quietly for about an hour, the winners congratulated, and bookmakers, with very few exceptions, found to have landed round sums of money. The mishaps which took place in the Ca3sarewitch, no less than five having pulled up lame, were a frequent topic of conversation, and then the company, which was large for an " off day," began moving towards the heath. Ten events stood on the cards for discussion, and the sport was opened by a field of 13 going to the post for the Oatlands Plate, which was won by Aurelian (fourth in this year's Derby). Large fields went to the post for every race up to the eighth, the Select Stakes, for which, after dividing the forfeits with The Lawyer, Ket tledrum cantered over. A curious crowd collected around him at the weighing house, but his training groom quickly put his clothes on, and little save his white legs were visible. At 4 o'clock 12 ran for a Maiden Plate, the winner of which was claimed, and half an hour afterwards the day's sport was concluded by Q.E.D. defeating King of Hearts in a Sweepstakes of 50 sovs each, the other three subscribers not going to the post. No betting on future events took place on the heath. The Oatlands Plate (handicap) of £5O, for 3-r-olds and upwards. Cambridgeshire Course. Mr. Hamilton's Aurelian, 3 yrs, 7st 101 b..

On reaching the site of the Old Duke's Stand Wild Bird was beaten and was passed by Aurelian, Gibraltar, and Lord Stamford's colt, the three running nearly abreast to the brow of the hill, where Imaus took the second place, but was never enabled fairly to reach Aurelian, who won cleverly by half a length.

On reaching the T.Y.O. post Restes, in company with Obe ron, Miss Emma, and Furious, came on with the running, the Baron's colt with a slight lead, which he held to within half-a-dozen strides of the chair, where Restes, swerving, cannoned against Miss Emma, and nearly unseated Daley, and drove her on to Oberon, and in so doing prevented Mar tin getting up, Restes passing the post a head in advance of Oberon, who defeated Miss Emma by a like distance, a head only separating the third and fourth, Captain Forti bus and Flash in the Pan being close up. On returning to weigh Martin made an objection against Restes on the grounds of a cross, which was investigated by the Stewards after the last race of the day. The Stewards heard evidence upon the case, and awarded the race to Obe ron, but acquitted Challoner from any intentional offence.

We have to announce the sudden death of Major Waldo Sibthorp, M.P., which took place on Sun day morning las!, at the Victoria Hotel, St. Leonard's-on -Sea, at the comparatively early age of 45. The lamented deceased, while on a fish ing excursion some few months since in Derby shire, was seized with paralysis, from which he soon rallied, but never thoroughly recovered. On Wed nesday last, however, he left his seat, Canwick, near Lincoln, for a short sojourn in the south, in compa ratively good health; he stayed a few days in Lon don, and on Saturday morning proceeded to St. Leonards. In the course of the following day he was taken. suddenly ill from compression of the brain, and within two hours he had breathed his he has last. The death of Major Sibthorp causes a vacancy city since Lincoln, vativ e n which terest represented e representation t theatio nc Conservative serthe death of his father (Colonel Charles de Laet Waldo Sibthorp) on the 14th Dec., 1856. In politics the gallant major was a Liberal• Conservative, and during the whole of his representative career has faithfully and diligently attended to the interests of his constituents, supporting the party with which he was more nearly allied in principle whenever he could consistently do so, but ever maintaining a strictly independent position in the house. Major Sibthorp owned extensive estates in Lin colnshire, and also in Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire, Middlesex, Yorkshire, and Nottinghamshire. He is succeeded in these possessions by his eldest son, Mr . Coningsby Charles Waldo Sibthorp, a youth 15 years of age. As soon as the news of Major Sibthorp's death reached Lincoln, meetings of the leading Liberals and Conservatives were held, and the former decided to invite Mr. J. Hinde Palmer, Q.C., of London, who has twice unsuccessfully contested the city. The Conservatives telegraphed to Lient.-Colonel Sibthorp, brother of the late member, offering to support him; but we understand that he declined to come forward. The Lord Mayor of London was then spoken of, and we believe he was commu nicated with, but it would appear he was not anxi ous for the honour they wished to confer upon him. At length a deputation waited upon Mr. J. Bram ley-Moore, merchant, of Liverpool, and chairman of the Liverpool docks, who some years ago represented Maldon, and he consented to contest the election in the Conservative interest. Yesterday evening his address was issued, and he will commence a canvass this morning. In his address he states that he is a Liberal-Conservative ; that he will not pledge him self to a blind support of party measures ; and that he approves generally of the policy of the late Con servative Government. He also approves of the course taken by the present Government in its rela tions with foreign Powers, and will not offer to it a factious opposition. With respect to home policy, he is in favour of moderate and gradual changes, and is opposed to the ballot as un-English. Mr. Palmer has not yet issued his address, but he is well known as an advocate of broad Liberal prin ciples. COLLISION BETWEEN 7HE BENCIi AND THE BAR, AT CABLLsLE. At the quarter sessions held at Carlisle, on Tues day, Joseph Carr, formerly a railway clerk at Carlisle Citadel Station, was charged with em bezzling the money of his employers. Mr. M'Outrey and Mr. Fawcett appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Sleigh, of London, was specially retained for the prisoner. The chairman of quarter sessions, Mr. Hasell, being chairman of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway Company, declined to hear the case, which was consequently heard before Mr. Spedding, of Mireside, and a bench of magistrates. Mr. Marshall, M.P. for East Cumberland, took his seat on the bench ; and, in the course of the trial, commented on the propriety of a question put by Mr. Sleigh to a witness who was under examina tion. Mr. Sleigh retorted, said he hoped he knew his duty, and that be was not in the habit of taking up the time of the Court by making un necessary interruptions. He said he understood there was some gentleman on the Bench connected with the railways ; and he expressed his opinion that to sit there and interfere with the chairman, when the prisoner was at the bar charged with felony, was indecent. Mr. Marshall remained on the Bench some time after, but left before the case was finished. At the conclusion of the trial, the prisoner having been acquitted on the first indict ment, the Hon. Percy Wyndham, M.P., rose and said :—Having the honour of a seat on this Bench, I beg to ask you, sir, if it is not the right of any magistrate to ask you, as chairman, any question he pleases during the progress of any case, or to discuss the matter with you as much as he likes. I ask this question because one of the counsel engaged in this case grossly insulted Mr. Marshall by imputing to him interested and base motives when he was consulting with you and ask ing a question connected with the business before you. I felt at that moment, and I know that that feeling will be sympathised by gentlemen sitting on this Bench, that when Mr. Sleigh made use of that accusation, he adopted a tone which, however usual or proper it may be in that court to which he has alluded—l mean the Old Bailey, where, I believe, he is specially appreciated—l hope is rarely heard elsewhere. Mr. Sleigh—l take the liberty of say ing that, personally, I treat those observations with that contempt which they deserve. I am not to be told by any man, be he Justice of the Peace, or be he what he may—be he in the position in which he can, or thinks he can, with impunity in sult me—how I have to perform my duty. Whether I perform it to his satisfaction or not, it matters not to me. If I had said anything which I thought needed an apology to that Magistrate (Mr. Mar shall), I am too much, I hope, a man of honour, and too much a man of courage, to be ashamed or to hesitate to tender an apology for any injury I had done, or for any affront I had occasioned. (Applause in the body of the Court.) I never intended either one or the other, and therefore I offer no apology. What I did intend to do I did; and what I did I would do again, if occasion should occur. (Renewed applause, which was immt diately suppressed.) If I offended any member of the railway company who are prosecuting this defendant, and who took his seat on the Bench by virtue of being a Justice of the Peace—Mr. Wyndham : He is not a member.—Mr. Sleigh : I understand he is a direc tor of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, and as such a party to the agreement which constitutes the Citadel Station Committee, I don't believe any justice of the peace who hears me now, if he were in any shape or form concerned in the part of a prosecution, would think, on reflection, it right to sit next the judge and make observations in refer ence to the progress of the case.—The Chairman : Allow me to say I did not interfere at the time, be cause I did not think it was seemly to interrupt an important criminal investigation with such discus sions ; but I was aware at the time that Mr. Marshall was very much annoyed and did take your re marks in the way in which Mr. Wyndham has put it. But I do believe that no insult was intended, and that you only wished to stop what you thought was au irregularity . However, I am bound to sa y u r a r t t e , I dig , a m right to interfer that, tsei a dt c btbi c un o ytgr them eel m g rye t t o aaoss t p h aor e jne c use o idd n goe s ef t , iitnaust bench o el e n n ca o hn f tdh of separate se magistrates pcoa e n l o ec t h n a it s y s much ande andth that t ask the anywhole question as I have. Mr. Marshall came here sitting as a justice in the exercise of his ordinary privilege, and doing as he sometimes does taking a little part in the case ; but I am sure he did not intend to act partially.—Mr. Sleigh—l am sure of it; and lam sorry it occurred to any magistrate to make any observations to me. Mr. Marshall is, I have no doubt, a man of integrity, and I shall have his sanction for saying that it would be more seemly if a man so connected did not communicate with the judge.—The Chairman—l assure you there was nothing said to me to bias my mind.—The matter here dropped. There is an odd and original way of putting a matter sometimes in Scotch people, which is irresistibly comic, although by the persons nothing comic is intended, as for example, when in 1786 Edinburgh was illuminated on account of the recovery of George 111. from sever n e ! c l a. ness—in a house where great preparation was go n ivg ico o nc i es, the occasion, by getting the candles fixed i e " ci, u ,, Aye, it , s an old nurse of the family looking on, e e v: m h 712 e king is sick, a brew time for the cannel make*' nfs ig ottish Life and Cha racter. man I"—Remini.---v es ---, o - p A CC IDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN ...,L, —lnformation was received last evening at the terminus of the Great Northern Railway, that r a l 1 ey niece, in g and from o n reaching a accident had occurred at the Ashton station, on the a a r f r i v tal al of the 2.20 p.m. train. A lady named Bloyds, who .

In stepping down her foot slipped, and was so severely crushed between the carriage and the platform that death resulted shortly afterwards. This is another warning to imprudent travellers by rail.
