WM, AIONEY iIIARKET AND CITY .N.ETV,S. CITY, Two o'CLocK. A very easy tone still pervades the !general dis count market, where the supplies of money are far in excess of the current demands, -and the conse qat.r.ce is that the rates still show a tendency to decline rather than otherwise. First class bills are negotiated slightly under 3 per cent., capi talists being disposed to accept that moderate quotation in order to find employment for a por tion of their surplus means. On the Stock Exchange the returns asked for temporary advances are still remarkably moderate. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. . _ _ The Indus has arrived from Alexandria with the heavy portion of the India, China, and Austra lian Mails, and £182,800 in specie. No important alteration took place in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. The specie movement continues satisfactory, inas much as nearly the whole of the gold received from Australia and other places is taken into the Bank of England. The remittances recently made to America, including a moderate consignment to-day, are not regarded with the slightest anxiety, be cause the efflux in that direction is scarcely expected to assume proportions calculated to inter fere with the position of monetary affairs at home. Gold is now about 4-10ths por cent. dearer in Loudon than in Paris, and 2-10ths higher herethan in Hamburgh. The directors of the Great North of Scotland Railway Company are prepared to receive applica tions for portions of a further issue of new £lO shares bearing interest at the rate of 4 1 1- per cent. per annum. On the Great Western Railway of Canada the traffic receipts for the week ending the 11th inst. amounted to £11,122, being a decrease of £4OO compared with the corresponding period of last year. Considerable excitement prevailed in the Liver pool Cotton market yesterday, and prices of American descriptions advanced Id. to id. per lb. The sales amounted to 20,000 bales. A new fire insurance company, entitled the " London and Lancashire," has just been formed. The prospectus states that it is estabiished for the purpose of extending to Liverpool, as well as to London and elsewhere, that addition to the facili ties for fire insurances which was recently demanded for the metropolis, and which the extraordinary in crease in the commerce of Liverpool now consti tutes an urgent necessity. The capital is to be £1,000,000, with power to increase. The shares are to be divided into 40,000, at £25 each, of which only £200,000 is to be at present called up. The company seems to be fortunate in the choice of its directors, as they are all gentlemen well known for their respectable and large mercantile connections With the ports of London and Liverpool. At the half yearly meeting of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company to-day the usual dividend of £2 per share was declared. The half yearly meeting of the shareholders in the - West Flanders Railways took place to-day, and a dividend of ti per share was agreed to ; the direc tors' report in which it was recommended, being 'unanimously adopted. Very little animation has prevailed in the mar ket for Public Securities to-day, speculation still being conducted on a limited scale ; but, upon the whole, a firmer tone has been manifested, and Consols are 921 7 1 ,-, for transfer, and 94 s for the 7th proximo, The New Threes are steady at 901 ; the Reduced flat at 904 ; Exchequer Bills, June, have advanced to 9s. and 12s. prem. ; India 5 per Cent. is firm at 1043 d ; the 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper at, 961 ; and the 51 per Cent. 1034 ; Bank stock has receded to 232. Business in the Foreign Market has been inac tive, and prices generally show less firmness. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 791 80+ ; ditto, 1858, 67+ 68+ ; Mexican are flat at 26+ ; Sardinian, at 81+ ; Grenada 2 per Cents., at 19+; and Italian 5 per Cents., at 68/; Chilian are firm at 85, and Rus sian 4} per Cents. are 921. Business in the Railway Share Market continued moderately inactive, and, with one or two excep tions, a slight improvement took place in prices. East Anglian, Eastern Counties, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North Western, and North Eastern (Berwick) improved ss. ; London and Brighton 10s. ; and Great Northern 15s. Midlands, how ever, declined 55., and South Eastern 10s. The Foreign lines were in fair demand, at steady prices. Great Luxembourg improved and South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian remained at previous rates. In the Colonial undertakings there was little change of importance ; Grand Trunk of Canada, however, improved to 201 t-; East Indian, realised 1O►1I; and Great Indian Peninsula, 994. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares were a shade firmer. London and Westminster improved ss. ; Union of London, 58. ; and Red Sea and India Telegraph Company declined 10s. to 15s. being dealt in at 19. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES.

LAW IN TELLDENCE—f This Day.) SECONDAJIES' COURT. IMPORTANT ADVERTISINi CASE.-CLAYTON V WILDE. This was an action to reerver a sum for exhibiting adver tising boards outside St. liatherine Docks and a country market place. Plaintiff's partner said tht the firm constituted the Illus trated Mammoth Advertisig Company, and defendant re presented the Commercil Restaurant in Cheapside. Plaintiffs paid the St. Katbrine Dock Company £5OO per annum for the use of the wtls; and large attractive boards very useful to the advertise were put up. Witness under stood that defendant wishec to have a board and called upon him. Saw a Mr. Glover, aid found:that defendant wished to have a sketch of the room, and an artist was employed. The board was seen from tine to time and then fixed up. The terms were 3s. 6d. per veek, payable monthly, for not a less term than 12 months, Cross-examined—lf the pities are respectable I do not trouble them for six montis. I knew the business was carried on because I dined t the rooms. I believe Glover was authorised by defendanito give the order. If a person who has given me an orderbecornes bankrupt I prove on the estate (even if the bard has only been on for a week) for the year, and getthe dividead if there is any. Mr. Glover was called, ane said he had been in partnership with defendant, and defendant agreed that the boards should be put up. Cross-examined—Had nowritten authority. The learned Secondary—there was no necessity, ho was a partner. On behalf of Mr. Wylde i was urged that the defendant was ignorant of the contrtct made on his behalf. The advocate for the defendant vas not in a position to contro vert the evidence given, and defendant must submit to any verdict the jury may please ;o find. The jury at onco found for tho plaintiff for the full amount. IMPORTANT TO JURYMEN. A few jurymen were excused in consequence of illness, and one juryman urged that ho had obtained a certificate which would, he thowdit, entitle him to exemption for a period of between three or four years. _ . The learned Secondary said that was an error. The juryman could bo called upon to serve after two years. The juryni.n conic' not be excused. CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day.) OLD COURT. (Before Baron Martin.) THE CASE OP VINCENT COLLUCCI. Vincent Colluci, 31, artist, was indicted for stealing 19 bank notes, each for the payment of £lOO, the property of Frederica Johnstone, and also for unlawfully obtaining by false pretences from Frederica Johnstone 19 bank notes each for the payment of £lOO with intent to defraud. The charge, it will be recollected, was that the prisoner had obtained £1,900 from the prosecutrix for the return of certain letters she had written to him, and that, in place of so doing, after he had received the money he refused to comply with the terms of the agreement. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Miss Frederica Johnstone, examined by Sergeant Parry, said—l have known the prisoner ever since 1858. He was introduced to mo by my cousins at Twickenham. He was following the profession of an artist. In consequence of the introduction, I invited Mr. Collucci to our house. In 1859 I first made an advance of money to him. He told me his mother was very unwell in Italy, that he was devotedly attached to her, and that he should like to go to see her. I asked him why he did not go instantly, when he said money prevented him. I asked him if I could be of any use to him, and I told him I had about £5O by me. He said that would not be enough ; but I told him I had a blank cheque, which he appeared not to know the value of. Before he took his departure for Italy I advanced him £250. After he returned he commenced to sketch my portrait. Ultimately an attachment sprung up between us, and we were to be married. Letters then passed between us, and the last I received was on the 2d of August of the present year. I destroyed all the letters I re ceived. In 1859 I was seized with illness, and about June of the same year I told him about breaking off the marriage. He said he wag very sorry, but he had not the courage to go on, as he thought he was in a consumption. 1 had advanced to him about £2,000, including a sum of money for a picture, which was sent to the Royal Academy, but was not hung up. I have always taken a great interest in pictures. I constantly spoke to the prisoner about restoring - to me my letters. About the end of May I told him I did not wish to continue our inti macy any longer. I afterwards received a letter from him relating to money, and referring to the letter I had written to him. (M. Strass, the interpreter, then read the letter.) I afterwards had an interview with him relative to the money I had advanced. I afterwards received the follow. ing letter from him " Dated June 10. No, no, no. Not a month more of such a life—not even a week—it is infernal to me—it is the vengeance of God ! I Yes, you have ruined me, physically and morally. You have destroyed everything in me—my talent, my peace, my heart. Come, miss ; you have only one of three things to choose—you will either marry me, or insure me enough to live upon, or I shall leave England. " You have three days to think it over. "V. C." When I spoke to him about money he was always emcee sively violent to me, and said I deeply injured him. 1 asked him if I could do anything for him, and he said if I would give him more money, and keep their secret, he could, perhaps, then be reconciled to existence. I after wards had another interview with him at the Pantheon. had a horror of the interview, as I felt he had determined upon doing something. He said to me, observing my agitation, " Don't be afraid." He then repeated that I had deeply injured him, and, in answer to his enquiries, I said I would give him £2,000, or anything else for the return of my letters. He said I should have them, as that sum of money would do for the moment. I told him not to think that, as I could not and would not do anything more for him. I again called upon him at the end of July, in Ovington•square. When I went he said, "Well, what have you decided ?" I said, "Nothing." He replied, " I thought you would have it in your hand ; this is a time when a woman ought to sell the very last thing she possessed. He was very violent in voice, and holding his coat, said " This is the way in which you should be dragged along by me." I again asked him about my letters, and he said he must have £lOO lof the £2,000 he was to have for the letters. I 'Afterwards met him at the Baker-street Bazaar, and gave him the £lOO. Nothing particular was said at the time, further than that I was very much disgusted with him. I wrote a few words on a small sheet of paper on Friday, the 2d of Aug., directing the prisoner to meet me at the Pantheon on the following morning at half-past 10, to exchange the letters for the money I had agreed to give. I obtained 19 £lOO notes, and went out with them. I saw him at the appointed place, and I said to him, " Where are my letters. He replied, " I have them." I said 44 Where," and he showed me something in his pocket, and then said, Remember how you obtain this money, it is a very large sum. All the notes are numbered, and they can be very easily traced." He said, " give it me." I said with great emphasis, " Give me my letters," and he then gave me a brown paper parcel. I then gave him the money. When we got to the entrance hall I said, " I want you to give me a stamped receipt for the money, but he declined to give it me. When I handed him the £1,900 I did it to recover my letters, I afterwards hired a cab, and after I had gone about 100 yards I opened the parcel and discovered a bundle of old newspapers and• one letter in my handwriting, which had been carefully placed at the bottom of the parcel within sight. 'When I got home I communicated with my brother, Mr. Campbell Johnstone, and placed the whole affair in his hands. I shortly after wards received the following letters from the prisoner " August 16. "My Dearest,—l have just received a letter which makes me laugh, and I think you will nlan laugh when you read 14. " By G—, I think you have chosen a bad path, and I warn you, if you take another step not friendly, I will give your letters into the hands of a magistrate, in order to de mand my rights. " Miss J., with your hands you would ruin me, and with your own hands you shall save me from the precipice into which you have thrown me. You have destroyed my future, and you shall give it back to me, I swear it to you by my mother I " The' idea makes me laugh much at steps against rae. Do you mean to say you will make my conduct public ? "But this is what I wish, in order to justify myself be fore the society in which I live. Remember, you have not even a reason in your favour. The star in the ceiling of my studio—the star in your hair—the picture—the star in the little bottle received from you as a token of love—and your hair, would be sufficient proofs, without the letters, to condemn you. Know that if any one shall dare to force me —to be violent with me, it will cost their life—at the erril of their life I The letters are mine, and no one has a right to demand them. I will not give them up except when you —you shall wish it. Adieu. Remember, that you will gain more by being friendly than by waging war against me ; and that I did love you, and that you, as a reward, have ruined me. " P.S.—Come and see me as speedily as possible ; and, if you like it, in company with the gentleman who wrote the letter, as I shall be very happy to make his acquaint ance. " V. C." "August 17. "It is now more than throe years you have known me, so that you ought by this time to have known my character also ; and therefore you ought to think that the path you have chosen is a bad one. I stand on my rights, and on the laws of this country. There is no mortal man can touch that which belongs to me without scandal and behaving scandalously ; therefore away with useless excuse or foolish bravadoes. Can you see me in good friendship as you have done in times past ? Then you and I can arrange and see what else we can do. Remember that to get ot of the ruin into which you have thrown me, I am ready for evei v t ilin u g or anything—know this I Alas, I beg of you do not pu,:' me to extremes, which may be dreadful for you and for me : You P. s ale D placed m m s e k i e n position y a our g u srguardian write ite to which tmheerefoirs itb but one path to get out yet—the path is in your hands I Come and see me. Adio. "V . C . time lost, I have already said I sh a ll not open the 'letters." " August 16. "Dear Sir,—The answer to the letter I have received is that I shall send it to the house of are the guardian. "I am, with profound consideration, your very obedient servant, " V. ConLucci." The wax impression on the parcel is from a seal I gave the prisoner. Cross-ozsmiuod by Mr, lioeue—No one Was present when the conversation took place between us at the Pan theon. I carried the parcel from the room in my hand. I did not attempt to conceal it in any way. I only date my letters occasionally. I don't know that I did not date the letters I sent to 31. Collucci. Between the 12th of July and the 3d of August I saw the prispner once at his house. I cannot recollect whether I was alone. I did not take the letter you refer to, as written by myself, from his studio. I never saw the parcel in the possession of any ono before I saw it at the Pantheon. No one saw it there till I shewed it to my brother ;I had opened the seals before ho saw it. I had a residence at Twickenham, and went there occasionally. I destroyed some of the prisoner's letters on the 2d or 3d of August. I should think more than half a dozen. The only two I have are those which have been produced. I was the first person who spoke respcting the return of my letters. No one, on my part, knew of my engagement to the prisoner. The en g agement I allude to is that of marriage. The correspondence between us was always friendly and affectionate. The letters I wrote were, in general, in answer to his. I cannot tell how many letters I wrote, but I am certain it was more than the number mentioned in the indictment—viz., 63. Mr. Keene—Your name is Frederica? Witness—Yes. Mr. Keene—You called yourself his Colomba ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Keene—That means a dove ? Witness—Sometimes it means a pigeon. (Laughter.) Mr. Keene—You said, didn't you, that a dove sat in a jessamine bower. _ _ _ _ Witness—He said that and I admitted it, Cross-examination continued--:-The prisoner was a great deal in my company. He never told me he was compro mised before the world in consequence of his attachment with me, or the people were talking about his getting money from me. He never explained to me how I had in jured him or how I had made his life miserable. Mr. Keene then called for the production of a letter dated May 16, 1861, written by Miss Johnston to the pri soner—one of those taken by Tanner, the constable, at the prisoner's house. It was handed to witness, who at once admitted it was in her handwriting. Mr. Keene—lt is written in Italian, and begins my dearest friend, does it not ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Keene wished the letter read. The learned judge thought at present that could not be tone. Cross• examination continued—The letter was written fter the rejection of his picture by the Royal Academy. Mr. Keene—Was not the prisoner then, in your estima ion, the most worthiest of men, and worthy of your love. Witness—No, not of my love. The time I wrote that letter my feelings for him, as he said he was unfortunate, was of the warmest kind. I considered he had been dis appointed, and I wrote to him as I should have done to any one in misfortune. You can put what construction you like upon it, (Suppressed applause.) Mr. Keene—Was it not a condition by the prisoner that you should give him a written paper stating the reasons why the letters wore given up ? IVitness—No. Mr. Keene—Nothing of the kind. Witness—No, certainly not. Nothing of the kind, Mr. Keene—Y ou did get some of your letters from the prisoner. Witness—Yes, when he was going to Italy. After he had been absent some time and Italy was in a disturbed state. I opened the letters as was my custom with other written papers, and then destroyed them without the slightest reserve or hesitation. Re-examined by Mr. Chambers—The picture the pri soner was to paint was not confined to myself. My sister was included in it, and also a little dog. My sister accompanied me to the prisoner's studio. I most certainly did not make up the brown parcel myself. I had no motive to do so. Mr. W. P. Campbell Johnstone, examined by Mr. l‘L Chambers, Q.C.—I am brother and also trustee and guardian to my sister Frederica. She showed me the par eel she had received from Collucci, and I wrote him a letter demanding the return of the letters within two hours. I received a letter from him in about two hours after stat ing that he had sent an answer to my sister. Subsequently he said he would give up the letters when she required them. I then wrote to him again demanding my sister's letters. Having made some inquiries rela tive to the prisoner, I then put the whole matter into the hands of my solicitor. A warrant was obtained and placed in the hands of Sergeant Tanner. I am certain no French gentleman in writing to a lady would use certain expressions found in the prisoner's letters. Sergt. Tanner, of the detective force, said—l went to the prisoner's house to execute the warrant. The prisoner appeared not to understand what I wanted. I explained it to him. He then took me upstairs and gave me sixty-three letters, and on being asked for the money he had received from Miss Johnstone, he returned me an envelope contain ing sixteen £lOO notes, and when I asked him what he had done with the other three he said he had expended them on Miss Johnstone. He said he did not understand what was being done, and ho further said, " I have never given Miss Johnstone a parcel at all, upon my honour as a gentleman." When the prisoner gave up the letters, he said Miss Johnson had promised to do something for him, which he would not mention, and, had she kept her word, he would have re turned her her letters, He took a seal from the prisoner which corresponded with the wax impression on the brown paper parcel, This was the case for the prosecution- Mr. Keene then proceeded to address the jury for the defence. The learned Judge having summed up the case, The jury retired, and after an absence of five minutes, returned into court with a verdict of guilty. The Chief Baron having commented severely upon the conduct of the prisoner, sentenced him to three years' penal servitude. THE KENTISIP , TOWN RAILWAY ACCIDENT._ Henry Raynor surrendered to an indictment charging him with manslaughter, Mr, Metcalf said, as the second grand jury had followed the precedent of the grand jury of last session, and thrown out the bill against the prisoner, he did not intend to offer any evidence against the prisoner on the coroner's inquisi tion. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, and Rayner was ordered to be discharged. THIRD COURT. THE CASE OF THE REV. 31R. HOLLOWAY. An application was made to the Court to postpone the trial of the Rev. Henry Holloway until next session. After some consideration, the Court consented to the request. POLICE INTELIIGENCE:J( This Day, MARLBOROUGH - STREET. ROBBERY AT A SOLICITOR'S.—Wm. Joseph Tillson office-boy, in the employ of Mr. Edmund Brown Oldrave, solicitor, 33, Bolsover-street, was charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing some decanters and other articles the property of his master. It appears that the boy had been some tips in Mr. Old rave's employ, and had been treated with great kindness. On the day previous, while passing through Carburton• street, Mr. Oldrave saw some decanters, which he nised as his property, at the do or of a sho p ke p t by a Mrs. Stephenson, and on asking who she purchased them of she said of a boy. Mr. Oldrave then looked in a cheffonier in [ which the decanters, a teapot, and other articles, altogether of the value of £l5, had been locked, and though Le found ' the cheffonier still locked, the whole of the contents were gone. The boy, on being spoken to by Mr. Oldrave, said he had sold two of the decanters for 9d. The boy said there was sombody else in the house be sides him; there was a woman who used to get tipsy, and sent him to Mr. Chapman's, the pawnbroker, with a silver teapot and some other things, but they would not take them in because he was so young. Mr. Oldrave said a female and her husband had lived in his house, and the female was addicted to drink, but she had left full two months. Mrs. Stephenson said sho bought the decanters, glasses, and other articles for 4s, 2d. Mr, Oldrave said they were worth 30s, He did not wish the boy punished. Mr. Beadon said he felt that the boy had been led into it by a bad and miserable woman. He should require that the boy's father enter into his recognisances in £2O for two years that the boy should abstain from anything of the kind, and be of good conduct. Mr. Oldrave said he had heard that some of his property was at the receiving-shops, The receivers were far worse than the thieves, Mr. Beadon said that was a very trite remark, but the difficulty was in catching the receivers. The boy was then given up to his father, THE TRICE OF GOLD The quotatiOn of gold at Paris is about 4 per mine prem., and the short exchange on London is 25.321 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. lOid. pet ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the priceof gold is 4.10 i per mark, and; the short exchange on London is 13.8 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days') sight is about 107 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is against England, But, after making allowance for loss of interest and charges of transport, the present price leaves no profit on sending gold to the United States. THE COURT OF CHANCERY.—The Lord Chan llor, on the first day of Michaelmas Term, Saturday, Nov. -;t at Westminister, and take appeal motions, peti 2, will b- , nals, and at Lincoln's-inn on Monday, Nov. tions, and aPI-- for appeals, &c.

The Master of the Rolls will ch an _ minster on Saturday, No. 2, and take motions, and a. , he cery-lane on Monday, Noy, 4, and following days, for genezal paper, &c, THE GERMAN FLEET. The following is a translation of a despatch which has been addressed by Count de Platen, Hanoverian Minister of Foreign Affairs, to the Governments composing the Germanic Confedera tion, communicating the intentions of his Govern ment respecting the construction of a squadron of 50 gunboats Hanover, Oct. S. The Federal Diet is already acquainted with the present position of the negotiations relating to a plan of defence for the German coasts of the North Sea and the Baltic, other than those belonging to Prussia. It does not appear probable that any practical and decisive resolution will be soon taken respecting the proposals for a general and compre hensive system of maritime defence which were some time since made by the various Governments most immediately concerned. In these circumstances, the Government of the King considers it not only desirable, but in the highest degree necessary, that the maritime states of the Confederation should come to a mutual and common understanding, in order to take those de fensive measures which the situation requires. Hanover taking the initiative in this matter, has proposed the construction of 50 screw gunboats. In the opinion of the King's Government the most cer tain way of obtaining this result would be to induce the several riverain states immediately to set about the construction and armament of a larger or smaller number of these gunboats, under the sanction and control of the Federal Diet, which should reimburse them from the general funds of the Confedera tion. The King's Government, having satisfied itself of the practicability of the project, has re solved to construct a flotilla of 20 armed screw gunboats, to be specially appropriated to the defenoa of the three great rivers, the Elbe, the Ems, and the Weser. The Hanoverian Government under takes to proceed with all necessary activity in the construction of this number of war vessels, which will form its proportional part of the squadron of the North Sea. There is reason to believe that each of the other riverain states, without waiting for the issue of the general deliberations on the subject which are about to take place in the Federal Diet, will show a :readiness not inferior to that of Hano ver in constructing and arming a certain number of vessels destined to protect and defend the coasts and ports of the North Sea. The envoy of Hanover to the Federal Diet, having received orders to bring the resolution of his Government to the knowledge of the Diet, has been instructed at the same time to submit the fol lowing propositions ;- 1. That it may please the Diet to authorise the riverain govornments of countries bordering on the North Sea and the Baltic, not including Prussia, to join, each in proportion to its geographical import ance, in constructing under the control of the Diet 50 steam-ves:aels, which shall form the squadron of the North Sea, and that the said Governments may be requested to come to an understanding on the subject. 2.

REMITTANCES OF GOLD TO ANE.RICA The resumption of gold remittances to the United States is a singular but wholly unimportant fact. The certainty is just as strong as ever that if the war continues not merely shall we witness a drain of specie from that country, but a suspension of cash payments. The Government expenditure is at the rate of a hun , lred millions sterling per annum, to say nothing of the augmented outlay of each individual State, or of the cost sustained by the Confederates while 700,000 at least of the ablebodied population of the country are withdrawn from manufactures and agriculture, and have become consumers instead of producers. With an expenditure of only about £15,000,000 per annum, and with all their people engaged to the utmost in industrial pursuits, the United States, were not usually found year by year to accumulate any exceptional stock of the precious metals, and the idea that under their changed cir cumstances, land with 40 millions sterling, or nearly one-half of their usual exports cut off by the cotton blockade, they may now, for the first time, begin to fill their coffers and to draw away the supplies of other regions., would appear the most extraordinary assumption that could be entertained. If the United States can show that the way to attract the precious metals is by quadrupling their expenditure, with holding 50 per cent. of their ordinary exportable produce, and. calling an eighth part of their adult population from the plough and the loom to the barrack, we shall soon have every country in the world plunging into war in order to enjoy the ex citement, profusion, and idleness that are thus to prove the most rapid causes of national wealth, Yet the American journals have some dreams of the kind, for they are predicting continuous arrivals of gold from this country, and, while they have an acute sense of the horrors we are to sustain during the winter from the want of cotton, they can see nothing but a plethora of resources at home, which should induce all people to subscribe as fast as pos sible to each two-monthly issue of an additional ten millions of Federal stock. The amount of sovereigns now being sent from Liverpool by each steamer will, of course, be cited as a confirmation of the new theory, anti. will stimulate all the classes who are revelling in the national funds to entertain antici pations even still more wild, of the continuance of this splendid example of inexhaustible means, which, in fact, increase in proportion as they are drawn upon. Meanwhile, however, the less ardent European world will prefer to watch the experiment to the end. The French demand for grain and flour will soon diminish, and in the course of a few weeks the exportation of those articles will also be reduced by the closing of the canals. Even if the whole crop could be sent forward it would not be easy to see how a total worth forty or fifty millions could suffice not only to meet an expenditure of two or three times that amount, but ereate a balance against Europe that must be remitted in gold, and yet be yond breadstuff's there is little else we can look for. The inference, therefore, must be that the present financial felicitations at New York are like those of a spendthrift who, having been momentarily put in funds by a sudden realisation of his best assets, wholly loses sight of the fact that these receipts have not borne any relation to the actual yearly course either of his income or liabilities.

The following, from the pen of an Ensign in the 72d. Regiment, appears in the Field :—" I had just arrived at Khandalla, and I met there an old schoolfellow, who 'was going out to shoot pigs, and he asked me to come with him. He lent me a single barrelled rifle, and we went out, about a mile and a half from camp, to a place which was notorious for pigs. It was a deep ravine, with a very high mountain on one side, and a low one on the other, and filled up with dense jungle. My companion placed himself about the middle of the ravine, and I took up my position near to the end, where the ra vine narrowed. We had below about forty beaters or coolies, who began at the open end. and beat up towards me. They had passed Hoyland without anything being seen, but as they neared the spot where I was stationed, I heard a rushing and break ing among the bushes, and -naturally expected to see some pigs come out, so I cocked my rifle and brought it up to my shoulder ready, when, to my utter amazement, out bounded a tiger ; I then did what I have since been told was a very foolish thing. I fired at him with a single-barrelled rifle. Luckily the shot struck him through both his fore legs ; had I hit him anywhere else he would have charged, and I should have had no chance of escape ; as it was, however, he rushed on as well as he could into the small part of the jungle beyond me, and we got him to show himself by making the beaters roll down large stones at him ; but he always disappeared again before we had time to fire. At last I watched the exact spot where he went after one of these short appearances, and, making a lucky shot, sent a ball right through his stomach. Upon this he got up, and with a frightful roar that made my flesh creep, he rushed back to his old haunt, receiving two or three balls in his body as he bounded through the open space between the two jungles. It appeared, however, he was in no hurry to give up the ghost, for he got back all right to his original lair. We now the ow nativesfound, whoupon weearlleinegarfvoyrimngoriet had now no alternative but to ride home for fresh abmadn:uthnritioatehxa-te * cm of fear, thrown away everyyulletthweechualpdr.itWs We supplies, which we did, after givin g well-deserved thrashing ; and we took advantage of the opportunity of making a late breakfast ; having done which, we again started for the scene of action—this t w o rifles and a large hunting-knife.

We went up within five yards of him to ha ve a look at him, Heyland firing both barrels at h im, about 15 yards off, previously, to make ce rtain of him; but I suppose in his excitement he missed him, as the tiger never moved. When we were about five yards from him, I proposed to give him a shot and make doubly sure; but Hgland said, 'No, no ! you will spoil the skin,' and laid hold of my rifle, which I, like a fool, let go, thinking the brute must be dead; e make I s e brealecexe running effortt alongside save m o y f s m e l f e l but as we were taking another step forward he rc;:. with an awful roar, and sprang after me. up ran down-hill, and got off all right; but I 11111 1 had hill as hard as I could, and the tiger after rce just got up to some coolies who in our advance, and were I heard the as fast as they could,k. andirhat an awful mo beast breathing at my y knife and turned round in. haida nfnolilnogweadwauys ment was that ? scrape alive, so drew pected to get out of the ing his mind, leaped upon the desperat ionwhen o tfhee tig t e o r, back and mauled him most frightfully ; but it was his ffort ad ch th an e g coolie got off with a mauling would have i led any European, but did not dY ing ' lel native who was . kill that him. I can assure you that I shall in future be a little more cautious about going up to one again. before I am quite certain of his being dead.'s THIS DAY'S MARKETS. Fresh up to this dtly's market the arrivals of English wheat were somewhat on the increase. Generally speak ing, the trade ruled inactive, yet no change took place in the value either of red or while qualities, compared with Monday, that day'ro improvement being fairly supported. importers cf foreign wheat were firm, and the quotations were well maintained.. The show of samples was only mo. derate. Floating cargoes of grain sol d somewhat freely, at ex- treme rates. The trade for barley rule d firm, a nd the quotations we re well supported. New malt sold slowly, a t late ra tes, but old qualities were very dull. Oats were in steady request, at fully previous currencies. Beans and peas wer e firm, a nd quite as dear as on Ron da, Ly. In flour a very moderate business was transacted, never theless prices ruled firm. _ ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

THE BUILDERS' STRIKE IN LITERPOOL.—This strike, which has extended over many weeks, is now only partially settled, owing to the demands of the Brick layers' Union. The joiners and plasterers resumed work upon the withrawal of the hour system, but not so the bricklayers, who refuse to resume work unless the masters give them a guarantee that they will make no change in the present order of the payment of the wages for so pulAtias t 0 cc e, .. 3.2.10 i 7.4.0 51 17s 6.8.6 8.12 4.11.6 1.10.6 9 2i 114 1.14.0 9.18.9 10.6.7 5.9.0 all 1 18.18.9 261 4. 113 s Gd, 1.7.1 all 1 10s. all all PRIC
