CMlrr MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Bank of England returns completed to the 25th September is of a favourable character. The bullion has been largely augmented, while there is also an addition to the reserve of notes. The pub lic deposits have been increased by the active col. lection of the revenue, and for the same reason the private balances show a falling off. The other securities, however, exhibit a slight addition. I❑ the other items of the balance sheet the variations are not of an important character, as will be seen in the subjoined table.

Government Securities The steamer Bavaria, which left yesterday for New York, took out £6,300 in specie. The half-yearly meeting of the Oriental Inland Steam Company, will take place on the 9th proximo. There is rather more enquiry for money to-day, owing to the preparations for the usual quarterly disbursements. Continued activity was exhibited in the Liver pool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were again rather higher. The sales amounted to 25,000 bales. The subjoined remarks upon the progress of business in American Securities during the past week are from the circular of Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Company :—" During the past week nothing has oecurred in the market for American Securities to claim particular notice. The market is firm, and prices generally without alteration." During the last few days there has been more activity in the markets for foreign and colonial produce. Sugars have advanced about 6d. per cwt. with a good demand for home consumption. Tea at public sale has realised full rates, the new season's crop being quoted at 2s. Bd. per lb. for good and fine Congou. Coffee has been in active request at a marked advance, while rice, ,fruit, and spices have fully maintained previous rates. Saltpetre has been dull; but tallow has continued in fair request at slightly enhanced rates for pre sent and forward delivery. The official returns relating to the trade and navigation of the United Kingdom, for the eight months ending the 31st of August, have just been published, from which it appears that the total declared value of the exports amounted to £82,575,126, against £88,077,892 for the like period in 1860, showing a decrease of £5,502,766. The decrease is most perceptible in beer and ale, cotton manufactures, cotton yarns, earthen ware, haberdashery and millinery, hardwares and cutlery, linen manufactures, linen yarn, woollen manufactures, woollen worsted, and woollen yarn. The importation of the prin cipal articles were smaller as regards raw cotton, thrown silk, spices, tallow, and sheep and lambs' wool. There was an increase, however, in provi visions, cocoa, coffee, corn, flour, rum, unrefined sugar, tea, timber, and tobacco. The shipping accounts exhibit an increase in the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom of 607,064' tons for • the entries inwards, and of 326,078 tons for the clearances outwards. In the crockery trade for the like period 54,778 tons more were employed for the entries inwards and 89,723 tons for the clearances outwards, compared with those of the previous year. The English Stock Market yesterday afternoon was very depressed in consequence of the advance in the French rate of discount, but rather more firmness has been apparent to-day, Consols being 93 93i for money, and 93L-- I for the account. The New Threes and the Reduced remain at 901 91g.;• Exchequer Bills at 2s. dis. to 2s. prem. ; India Scrip is 103:, being flat. In the Foreign Market the dealings have been chiefly. in Mexican Bonds, and a further advance of 11 per cent. has taken place, viz., to 261 27 and 271. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 85 86 ; ditto, 1858, 691 a. Venezuelan are firm at 201. Russian 5 per Cents. are firm at 991; and Brazilian 41 per Cents, flat at 91. In the Railway Share Market business has con tinued moderately active, but prices have showed less buoyancy in most instances. Lancashire and Yorkshire, Midlands, and South-Easterns have declined ss. ; Great Northerns, North-Westerns, South-Westerns, and Brightons, 10s.; and North- Eastern (Berwick), 15s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings con tinue dull, without material change in values. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares barely sustain previous rates.

There was a general c oncurrence of feeling that trade is more active than it was three months ago, and a resolution was unani mously passed to adhere to the old scale of prices—bars, 17 ; hoops, £8 ; sheets and plates, £8 10s. per ton. THREE AT A BIRTII.—On. Thursday week the wife of James Watson, fisherman, Cromarty, gave birth to three sons. We are glad to understand that the mother and young fishermen are doing well. We learn that Mrs. Wet• so n was, on two former occasions, delivered of twins—thus ma king her the happy mother of aconsiderable family in three instalments.—lnvergordon Times. DUELLING IN AUSTRIA.—The following deplorable affair occurred on the 17th inst. at Enna. On the evening of that day young Count Almasy, lieutenant in the Volun and who was quartered there, en • teer Hussar Regiment , terod the public room of the much-frequented inn the Black Eagle, where a great numbe r of g uest s were assembl e d . A l l the seats were occupied, and, in his usual lively manner, he asked the waiter for a cha'r. Before the man cou ld bring it the Count observed a vacant chair close to a lieutenant of the same regiment, whose name is not mentioned, and he forthwith seized it and pulled it quickly away; but, as the lieutenant was partly using the chair, its sudden removal caused him to fall upon the ground. The consequence of this wa , an angry discussion between the two officers, and the lieutenant, who held himself insulted by the uncere monious snatching away of the chair, challenged the young Count to a duel with sabres. This forthwith took place, and the Count received such desperate cuts that he died eight hours afterwards. He was buried yesterday at Enns with great solemnity. The position of his adversary, who was slightly wounded, cannot be considered very enviable. The parents of the slain roan were forthwith informed of their son's fate by telegraph.—Lienzcr Abenaote. stock stock stock stock Share; stock stock stock 100 102 20 21 51 Pi 100 102 110 115 105 110 106 108 105 107 122 124 80 82 110 112 90 92 79 81 115 117 109 111 101 103 105 107 97 99 98 Iro 88 90 89 H tO2 104 06 10 166 174 106 101 74 76 20 21 10 104 15 156 134 138 11l 114 111 114 136 188 114 100 102 150 155 12Y 130 72 74 90 91 91' 99 4 1 id I P 13i 14 120 125 65 1 :(+) I I 134 186 100 102 stock Stock stock stock stock Stock 10 i 10 1 91 92 110 112 j 109 111 1 pi 90 92 99 101 98 100 P i P I d ip 22 23 132 136 10 IN 231 23/ 100 102 100 102 97 99 84 86 27 28 32 33 32 33 45 48 124 126 118 120 100 102 121 123 117 120 LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS.

THI RD EDITTO N. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) THE ALLEGED MURDER IN WESTMINSTER. The prisoner said—" I am an innocent man.". William Maloney, 40, labourer, was indicted for the wilful ;murder of .his wife, Mary Maloney, on the 2d of September. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Clarke and Mr. Orridge prosecuted, and Mr. sleigh defended the prisoner. Mr. Clark having stated the case against the prisoner, called the following witnesses : Eliza Duckwell said —T live with my father, in Leg eourt. Known deceased about ten months. Last saw her alive about 10 minutes after 12 on the Monday. I met her n Peter-street. Catherine Welsh was with me. (Deceased was going towards home. •We made some fun of a young man, and she want away laughing. She was quite sober. She had a pot of beer in a can. After his:l went into my own house, No. 4 in the court, four dsors from tho deceased. I had some milk, which I was in the act of putting on the table, when my brother ran in, and said, " Mr. Maloney is fighting, and his smock is all over blood." With this I ran out into the court and sa w Maloney standing between the window and street door. He was looking at the sleeve of his smock on which was blood. It was his right sleeve. I saw blood in the passage, and his little girl, about seven years old, crying. She was in the court. I looked through the window and saw de ceased lying on the floor, resting on her elbow, and she gradually sunk down. She rose up again a very little way from the ground to put her hand to her forehead. I saw blood coming from her shoulder. I said, " Oh, Mr. Ma loney, your wife is dead ; how was it done ?" He said she did it herself. He repeated this three times. I ran down the court, and met my father half way. Samuel Gordon, 241 B, said—About 25 minutes after twelve on Monday, the 2d of September, I was in Peter street, and a man said, " I think there was murder in Leg court." Ido not know the man. It was not Saunders. I went to the spot, and saw several people. As I got to the door I met Mr. Payne, and he told me a woman had been stabbed, and that she was quite dead. I saw a quantity of blood on the floor, a woman lying on the bed with blood about her dross. I saw a wound in her neck on the left side. I asked the woman how it was done, and a man sitting at the end of the table made answer and said, , f She done it herself. I was sitting down eating my dinner when she picked up the knife and stabbed her self, and then threw the knife away." I cleared the room of the people and searched it, and told Maloney to get up and move his chair, and after lifting the tea-tray I found the knife sticking in the board behind it. The serf eant then came, and he was taken to the station. He there re peated his former statement, that she had done it herself. By Mr. Sleigh—l did not ask the prisoner how the ltg Iwoman came to her death. The statement he made was quite voluntary. 1012 1 1 98; ; 11; I 93 71 THIRD COURT. (Before tho Common Sergeant.) FOREIGN-OFFICE, SEPT. 18. Police constables Maxted and Mason gave similar evidence as the previous witness. Mason, however, gave a more exact account of the remarks made by the prisoner when he was taken into custody. Maloney said " She done it herself. 1 know nothing about it." I then cautioned him in the usual form. He then said, " I was having a few words with my with wife, and I sent my child out for some oats for the rabbit. I was eating my bread, potatoes, and bacon, and when I had done I laid my knife on the table. She took it up and done it herself, and threw the knife away." I asked him who liftedlher on the bed, and he said " I don't know." He said he did not assist. I looked at his hands and clothes. Both hands had blood on them ; most on the right one, and blood on the right sleeve of his slop. On the cuff of the right sleeve of the shirt are spots of blood, and some on the front of the trousers on the right leg. There are also spots of blood on his shoes. At issaitdrO " He ha s go t some bl oo d on users," to w hi c h h e re pli e d been there y e wou l d have h a d t h e the 11,11 If f station,iei thern si d e ooff thetthe e s l e e r hg g a e od sergeant said, same." He also stated that his wife had said she would commit suicide. Mr. Taylor, chief clerk at the Westminster Police-court, read the statement made by the prisoner. It was similar to that made to the police-constable. Dr. Payne, of Denbigh-street, Pimlico, said—l was called on the 2d inst., about half-past 12, to 2, Leg-court, to see a person who it was stated had stabbed herself. I found the woman Maloney lying on the floor in a large pool of blood. I saw a wound on the left side of the neck, from which blood was still flowing. With assistance I got her on to the bed. I asked Maloney to assist, and he said "No, I can't." I asked him if he was the husband, and he said he was. I said, " How did this happen, have you been quarrelling ?" He said " No. 1 had just come in to my dinner and had placed my pocket-knife by the side of my plate, when she suddenly seized it and stabbed herself, saying " I have done it at last." The knife had penetrated the cavity of the chest, and a large quantity of blood had passed into it. The knife produced would cause such a w ound. It would require a very sharp blow to inflict the wound. I certainly don't think the deceased could have inflicted the wound herself. Justice Bylos- From your observation was it probably a suicidal wound or not. Witness—Probably it was a self inflicted wound. Joseph Saunders—l formerly lived in Somers Town. On the Monday of the occurrence I was looking for lodgings, and walked down Leg-court, As I was going up some party told me there was a place in Bennet's-yard, March- - , mount-street, and I went to tho door in Leg-court, on the left hand side, and looked in and saw a man. strike a woman with a knife. _ I afterwards saw him in custody of the police. He struck on the left side of the neck. I have no doubt Maloney is the same man: I saw the blood flow on his right hand. She screamed out a little. He did not say a word. I came off out, and said to some women, " There's murder," and went away. I did not point out _ _ where. I said, "There is murder in one of the houses." I saw three policemen take Maloney out of the court directly after, and I pointed him out as the same man at the police By Mr. Sleigh—l was quite a stranger in Westminster when I saw the deed done. I did not rush in to render assistance. I went away after it occurred. I did not think it my duty to accompany the police to the station. I was frightened, and did nut know hardly what I did. I know I still continued looking for lodgings. I had been out pf work for four weeks previous to the occurrence. I went and had my dinner after I saw the man stab the woman. I will swear I was not in the eating-house 10 minutes. I did not mention a single word about the occurrence. I will swear I did not say to the woman in the eating-house " I've just seen a woman stab herself." I have sworn I had not been into any place of refreshment before I went home, but I don't call having the two or three ounces of pudding refreshment. Before I came to London I was employed as a farm labourer. The first tins I had ever been in a court of justice was •when I Went before the magistrate. I did not hear witnesses exa mined after I had given my evidence. I had nothing to drink when I had my dinner. I did not go into a drinking house after I left the shop. Re-examined by Mr. Clarke—The mates of the prisoner have threatened my life if I gave evidence in this case.

The learned Judge then closely questioned the witness as to his antecedents. Justice Byles—Are you a churchman ? Witness—All my life I've not had much time to go to church. Justice Byles—You have heard of the commandments ? Witness—Yu. Justice Byles—The one that says, Thou shalt not boar false witness against thy neighbour ? Witness—Yes. • Justice Byles—Do you know that man's life is in your hands ? Witness—Yes. Justice Byles—Knowing that, do you still persist in the statement you have made ? itness—l do. The man at the bar is the person I saw stab the woman. lam certain of it. A Juror—Did you see the blow struck ? Witness—l did ; and I also saw the blood flow on the pri soner's hand after he did it. This closed the examination of Saunders. Mr. Sleigh having addressed the jury in :defence of the prisoner, _ _ The learned Judge, in summing up, said he thought the fact of the prisoner going out of doors, coolly surveying the blood on his shirt sleeves while his wife was in the agonies of death, told very much against him. The fact of the blood being on the right hand sleeve of the shirt was also a circumstance against him. His lordship complimented the surgeon upon his strict impartiality, and adverting to the opinion he had expressed that• the wound might have been suicidal, said it was certainly a point upon which the de fence might properly rely. The jury would take the knife with them when they retired, and would then be able to come to a conclusion whether or not it was a self-inflicted wound. His lordship saw nothing to invalidate the evi dence of Saunders, although his conduct wag; extremely singular in giving no information on the spot. The jury retired at a quarter to five and returned exactly at five, and gave as their verdict that the prisoner was guilty of killing his wife without premeditation. The learned Judge said they must answer the question, was he or was he not guilty ? The Foreman asked the learned Judge whether they might return a verdict of manslaughter if they thought the prisoner had no intention of murdering his wife ? The learned Judge said he saw no evidence to warrant such a verdict. The jury 'must say guilty or not guilty. They had a duty to perform to the Crown anl to the court•_ try. The case was entirely in their hands. Juries were the law—the law itself was only an abstraction. The jury again retired. After the lapse of 10 minutes, the learned Judge sent for them, and after he had pointed out to them the difference between murder and 314411' slaughter, they found him guilty of murder; recommending him to mercy on the ground that ho went home without malice, and that something must have occurred to provoke him. Mr. Sleigh hoped it would be recorded that the jury had returned a verdict of guilty, without malice. The learned Judge said he could not attend to the appl cation. The learned Judge then sentenced him to death, stating that the recommendation of the jury would be forwarded to the proper quarter. THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE HAAPSTEAD JUNCTION RAILWAY. The trial of Henry Rayner, the signalman, against whom a verdict of manslaughter was found by the jury at the coroner's inquiry, has been postponed until next sessions. Rayner surrendered and pleaded not guilty. He was admitted to bail. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Keating.) ALLEGED FRAUDULENT TIANKILUPTCY.

Mrs. Yelverton is sup posed to tell her own story, and the work might in fact have been written by any one familiar with the trial, which was a n i n e day's wonder. the author has taken care not to deviate in the slightest par ticular from h er ev id ence . Th e meeting in Scot land, the Scotch marriage, the adventures in Ireland, the Irish marriage, the honeymoon, the voy eg .--, to France, and the observations are faith fully related. Capt. Cyril Etherington tries to in duce the fa sc i nat i ng and romant i c Th i erna to marr y him in the Crimea without witnesses. As this is the most novel part of the story, we will give it at length:- 4 In one of our long rides the following conver sation occurred Do you see that ? ' said Ether ington, pointing with his w hi p t o a b u ildi ng a t some distance. 'I do not,' replied Thierna ; it looks like a church? Do you th in k we could 'take a short cut by it, and meet the others d own i n the va ll ey ?' he asked, looking her intently in the face.' Pos sibly,' she returned ; ' but why do yon ask ? you mean more than that.' I do,' he replied, riding near and appropriating the reins and her little hand 'at the same time; `this state of things is an utter impossibility. I was insane to think I could give youup, for no sooner were you out of sight than my resolve gave way, and from that moment.l hav e said,never softly, contemplatedraising her losing devotedl will wait any length of time.' 'No, we will not l wait,' his put each other to that test. I cannot do without you now, and it would be no consolation to me to be told I should possess you 10 or 15 years hence ; putting the uncertainty out of the question. Let us make certain of the present, and put the future be yond a doubt,' he added, watching her colour come and go. We should find half a dozen priests saying their breviary at that church, who for 100 or 200 piastres would make you mine before that cloud which overhangs us turns to rain.' But, Cyril, they are Greeks,' said Thierna, in astonishment. `Greek or Roman, they can make our two fates one, and my uncle may rub his classics before he finds out how the knot is tied.' But how would you pre vent it coming tolhis knowledge ?' asked she ; some one would be sure to tell him.' If no one knew,' he replied cautiously, no one could tell ;no one but the padre must know our secret.'. No one,' said Thierna, a little alarmed; would that be a right thing to do ? I would rather trust my friends, from whom I never had any secrets, and I should not like to deceive them in any respect. If that is what you are taking me to church for, pray let us return.' Cyril was silent, and looked disappointed ; still he did not loosen her rein or attempt to turn the horses. At length he said, leisurely, ' You do not love me, Thiern a — no t l ove me as I thought you did, with a pure devoted affection. You will not make the smallest sacrifice of the pomps and vani ties of the world in order to make me a better and a. happier man. Your presence near me is like the shadow of an angel's wing, wafting every unhal lowed thought to a distance, and breathing an atmo sphere of peace. None but you have ever under stood me. Hard lessons, taught by aheartless world, have made me bad and reckless. lam always pre pared to battle my way by ruse or force, and you are the only softening influence I have known. It was a blessed thing I could not leave you, or I t,hould have plunged headlong into evil.' Pray don't say so,' cried Thierna, her eyes filling with. tears. Yet to this,' continued he, you would ex pose me for the sake of a little worldly display—for a few bridesmaids sewed up in pink and blue, a few postilions with white favours and coachmen with large bouquets in their button-holes, stupid uncles talking nonsense ever champagne and a pyramidal wedding cake; ladies weeping polite tears into lace handkerchiefs." Cyril, Cyril !' Thierna burst in, you quite misunderstood me. I should really shrink from all that fuss ; it is the secrecy I object to—not the manner.' `Does the secrecy make the tie less sacred in the sight of God or ourselves ? If you had parents it would be quite different ; but as we stand are we not both at liberty to bind ourselves; do we injure any one, or offend the laws of God, by so doing ; and when the publishing of the act, right in itself, would injure me, then say by what principle of right you are bound to proclaim it ?" Indeed, I cannot argue the point with you, but I wish you would let me con sult some one.' No,' said Etherington, decisively ; you shall not breathe a word to any one of what has taken place to-day. Consult your own heart and good sense, then trust to my honour and knowledge of what is right and wrong. Believe me, Thierna, we must depend upon and be guided by each other ; a third party must never intervene, or our marriage will not be what I anticipate with so much ardour, one of unalloyed trust, sympathy, and complete union. Come, dearest," he said, springing from his horse at the church door, and looking up at her with his most caressing smile, his teeth doing their work of witchery. Another moment, and she would have been in his arms, but a galloping horse and his rider loomed in the distance. ' Look, Cyril,' she ex• claimed, who is that ?' They both gazed earnestly for a moment. Captain Tudor,' cried Thierna, with a gleeful laugh. Etherington sprang to his horse, his mouth tightly compressed. He gave a savage lash to the lady's palfrey, who sprang off at full speed. You see it was not to be,' she said, as they galloped side by side. It shall be !' said he fiercely ; and something like an imprecation hissed through his teeth, in spite of his usual philosphy and the shadowing presence of the angel's wings." THE .RUGBY AFFAIR. A Rugby correspondent of the Leeds Mercury writes :—" Mrs. Hill, the baby, and the nurse maid, have been residing in Rugby since Saturday last. Airs. Hill possesses sufficient personal attrac tion to justify belief in the report that she has led captive many suitors. It is a fact that she was run away with when at boarding-school, and that she was brought back by a well known person, who, in his endeavours to rescue the lady from her ga , lant and enterprising admirer, received a lasting memento on the most prominent feature of his countenance. "The wealth of the lady was greatly exaggerated in the first accounts of the case. Lady Burdett, the mother of Mrs. Hill, resides at Brussels upon an income of £2,000 per annum, terminable with her life. Her estate is .managed and the rents of her property collected by Mr. Maltby, the vice consul of Brussels, and this accounts, in a great measure, for the intimate knowledge which Mr. Maltby appears to have of Mrs. Hill's private affairs. Mrs. Hill derives considerable pecuniary advantages from the settlements made upon her by the prisoner, and that in some measure, apart from the promptings of maternal instinct, accounts for the anxiety which has been manifested to have the child identified. Mr. Hill entered a cause some months ago in the Divorce Court, and should the issue be that he obtained a judic!al separation from his wife, the two questions of the paternity and identity of the child would occupy the attention of the lawyers. It is stated that there are cir cumstances which cannot be shown until the case comes before the Divorce Court. That there is some explanation in respect to this long-lost child which has not yet come before the public, seems clear from the fact that the brother of Mrs. Hill—Lieut.-Colonel Burdett—offered himself as bail for the prisoner. The stories which have been told of Mr. Hill having come to England from Brus sels, disguised and in secret, have their origin in the prolific imagination of one of the keenest penny a-liners' of the metropolitan press. During the whole of the week preceding_hia arrest he was in himselfLo n do London, , withan and t h e undisguised. black w h i a k li e i r s s objectain moustachedisguising s not to pzevent arrest either for debt or perjury ; but his friends and himself say with a far more honourable and praiseworthy object, that of seeing o h f i s the w i wife t w e without d h a e n r dk repeatednow in to allow him to s p ea k to herg. him, refusals oli h e her consequencepart The Eastern exchange continues with a very satis factory tendency. At Calcutta the rate is without material alteration, but both at Canton and Shanghai there has been a further favourable movement of about one per cent., the respective quotations being 4s. 51. and 6s. 21d. A deplorable affair has occurred in the Rue da Faubourg Saint-Antoine, A married couple carrying on the trade of butchers at No. 164 in that street had frequent quarrels, owing to the man for some reason having for bidden his wife to visit her family, and to her disregarding his prohibition. On Monday evening the wife taking ad vantage of the man's absence, went to see her sister. After a while, he arrived, and bitterly reproached his wife for disobeying his orders; but by the intervention of his sister in-law and her husband, who were present, he becam e calm, and promised to live on b e tt er t erms w ith his.'" i As, however, the woman feared th a t th e ma n would d pan eo y her some act of violence, she beg ge d h er s i s t e r t?aa er lu making home, and pass the night in h er ro om, the u no objection.
