DEATH OF BEN CAEN?. THE E.V•CHAMPION
(TMII DAY.)

Thin morning, Mr. Benjamin Caunt, of the
Coach and Horne., !It. Martin's•larse. was found dead in his
bed, under eircuniatances which will occamiva a coroner'.
ineptiaitioe. The deceased, better known as Ben Cauca,
wan for year. :Lei active member of the price ring, and fought
many pitched bmttlen, and ultimately obtained the belt as
champion. TM. lie was afterwards compelled to resign, lbcing
beaten by the '• Tipton :flasher." He took great interest
in the great ii ;lit between Sayern and Heenan, hut he had
fee some time been much distressed in his mind, and had
Liken to drinking rather freely, having a few yews since
lost two of him children at the fir. which took pla•e at his
boughs. titoce then, be had lost his wife by death ; and,
to complete all, he lost the license to Lin Louse ;
and although he appealed to the quarter us•
awns, he could not obtain a revernal of the
judgment. The deceased was in his business the whole of
yesterday attemliog to his e•stomers, and appeared in his
usual health. .11 night he complained of slight imlinpoei•
Lion, but retired at his unual hour to rest. Thin morning
early one of the domestics, on going to him bedroom, wan
alarmed at finding him dead. Medical attendance MIN 141.
tallied, but it was of no avail, as he appeared to have been
dead two oe throe hours. The deceased was between 45
and 50 years of age.

CHALLENGE OP THE A.V ERWAN 'HA MPION
AuAINsT ALL ENg:LA ND FUR TEN TiIeWSAND
DOLLARS.

Heenan, or some one on hill hehAlf, has &admixed
the following letter to the New York Spirit ;

" Washington, August 15, lAA.
"In conseqnence of :ertain remuks that have re.
eeutly appmr,il in English journals in which my
name is again brought forward in connection with
the championship, I wish, through you, to say. a
word. it is said !Lice, that!Lice, now tliat he is champion,
desires above all things to inset me • and it is also said that
he is willing to make a match for ihe championship, and
for as much more as 2,000 f. a side. Now, if there is any
sincerity in this offer, it affords me an opportunity to say
what I will do.

" Notwitlistandingthe unfair manner I was dealt by when
I WY in k'aiglaisl (from which I entirely acquit Tom
Seven.), 1 am willing to try her maxim of fair play
once more, and will fight the best man that England
can produce for the sum of 2,OLY. a-side ; and
if Mace is thought to be her best man, I
will, of course, fight him. I allude to him in this way be.
cause I do not think he is her best man, and because when
I was in England last I was frequently abused hy many
writers for the reason that Toni Sayers was a mailer man
than myself.
"In making this offer. I of course intend to include
the winner of the pending match for the champion-
ship between Mace and King, and, though I con-
sider that I already own the belt, you may, as
• matter of furor, challenge for that too. Let me
esv. bovriver, that in consequence of the manner in
which 1 was bunted and hayseed when endeavouring
to train before, and also in countless°, of the ruf-
fianly treatment I received from the crowd at Pare-
borough at the conclusion of my fight with Sayer., I
would prefer to tight Mace or his conqueror, or who-
ever the selected mail may be, on this auk of the
Atlantic - ny in Canada. In that came I would
relinquish to him oat of the main stake sCdf. for his
expenses, and give him • bond in 1,50 W. more, guaranteed
against say private interference with the fight iu miabehalf.
If, on the other hand, 1 required to go to England,
I hall expect the same allowance and an equal guarsetee.
"On these terms (which I believe are as fair as au
be made) I will meet Mace, or say other man, whom
Englishmen may prefer, fur the championship of the
two hemispheres ; and if the latter portion of my
offer is the most acceptable, I will go to England as
I went before,galone and without local influence, and
test again, by • still more deliberate verdict, the force of
that other British maxim, which infers that the best man
may be allowed to will, even though hi be a stranger and
not • Briton burn.

" Flier send these views of Mille forward, awl
whenever you get an answer, and will notary me of
it, I will place in year or any iodinated hands as
much massy as the ether parties ray regain to bind
the mats* ee r a Ant deport. Hoping earnestly
that you may omesed herbs this earth rade, or, if
declined, that than ray to as sad at prebendal Euglish

master, who stated that the defeadant and other boys
were continually stealing the fruit out of his orchard on the

MOSE)" MARKET.-(THIS DAL)

Two o'CLoct.

The settlement of the monthly acccuut in the
funds to-day has been accompanied by a very
large failure ill the Stock Exchange, which
inc., caused the suspension of six or sertn other
members of the establishment. As the operations
of the principal dealer referred to have been
directed to lower prices, the adjustment
of his account has contributed to a fresh
rise of fully per cent. which has been et-
tablisbed in Consols. The India Five per Cents.
are rather better, and the other markets firm with
little business.

The India Five per Cent. Stock has risen to 1031
to 101, and the Scrip to 1041 to 1.
The usual telegrams (rum the Paris Bonne have
not yet arrived.

Gongola are officially marked 932, and 2 for
money, and 93 for the new account
(October 10). The present quotations are
9311 to for money and 932 to
fur October. The official business re-
port is as follows :—Three per Cents. Re-
duced, 91i, 2 ; New Three per Cents., 911 a, I,
92 ; Thirty Years' Annuities, 1885, 15 7-10 ; India
Stock, 222 ;ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 1033, {, e ;

Five-and-a-Half per Cent. " eufaced " rupee
paper, 103}, 104 ; Exchequer Bills, March, 2e.
dia.; ditto June, Bs. prem.

Turkish Bowls are less inquired forto-day, hut there
is little change in the prices, which are quoted 82 to 1
fur the Loan of 1854, and 68 to if ex div. for that
of 1858. Mexican Bonds have advanced. There
are also inquiries for Equador Bonds. Sales are re-
corded as follows : EquadorNew Consolidated, 151,
1,1, ;?., ex div. ; Mexican Three per Cents., for

_ .

In the discount market yesterday the demand was
only moderate. Good bills continue to be taken at
3p, to 31 per cent. At the Bank of England busi-
ness continues rather slack.

In the Consul market the rate for loans from
day to day does not exceed 21 to 3 per cent.
The amount of gold carried to the Bank yesterday
was 31,0001. A large amount of Rived= ham ar-
rived, and, with other gold, will probably be taken
to the Bank to-day.

The wheat market yestenlay was rather active, at
a further advance of le. to 2e. per quarter over the
previous Monday's rates. Large quantities both
of wheat and flour coutinue to be exported to
France.

The Liverpool cotton market yesterday was firm,
with sales to the extent of 10,000 bales.
The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this
week a decrease of 9471. It is said that the ex-
cursion traffic has been checked by the late accident.
The South Eastern return shows a decrease of
2,800/., which must be attributed to the compe-
tition of the London Chatham, and Dover line,
combined with the reduction in the fares.
The financial circular of Mews. Cammann and
Co., dated New York, the 27th ult., has the fol-
lowing :

There has been no essential change in the leading features
of the stock market since our last report of the 13th ult.
Business continues on a very limited scale, and the fluctua-
tions in prices have been unimportant, except for roam of
the Slave State bonds, which have declined in consequence
of the reported probable b the Confederate Con-
gross of an act confiscating all held by citizens of the
Free States. The dulness of the market generally is attri-
butable to the universal indisposition to either buy or sell
to any extent until the probable course of political affairs
OM be more clearly foreseen. The increased energy dis-
played by all departments of the government in their pre-
parations for the further prosecution of the war, however,
strengthens confidence in the ultimate success of the Federal
forces. The arrangements made by the Secretary of the
Treasury with the banks in New York, Boston, and Phila-
delphia for the negotiation of 150,000,000 dole., 7 3-10 per
cent. Treasury notes, will, it is expected, provide for all
the financial wants of the government until the end of the
year.

- With regard to the tallow market, a correspond.
ent sends the following .

Since my last report of this market, the extraordinarily
large demand noticed on the 2nd instant boa continued in
full vigour, the delivery for consumption last week being
5,895 casks against only 2,754 in the corresponding weak
last year. PriCel continued extremely firm down to the
sth, and advanced to 495. on spot, 495. buyers last three
months, and 49e. 6d. to 50a. for January to March. A
trifling reaction then occurred, occasioned partly by recent
buyers realising, and partly by speculative sales—the latter
operations adding to the already extremely large oversold
account. On referring to the statistics of former seasons,
the only one to which the present period is analogous
was that in 1831-2, which followed a great speculation.
similar in all respects, except that of duration, to that of
the last two years. In that seamen, 1831-2, the price fell
lals. per cwt. as soon as the speculative account was dolled,
cud the effect of lower pricer' immediately became apparent.
The delivery for consumption from June, 1831, to June,
1832, was 128,003 casks, against only 78,000 in the same
period of 110041, exhibiting an increase of 50,000 cask. in
one year. There is every probability that the additional
consumption in this season, consequent upon the present
lower quotations, will be even greater ; indeed, so far as it
has proved to the present time, the comparative excess is
already much larger.
Letters from St. Petersburg state that it is now an ascer-
tained fact that about 30,000 casks will be laid up there
until next season. This being the case, it may be well to
ascertain the total probable supply for consumption from
all eouroes from June, 1861, to June, 1862. The stock on
let June last, deducting about 9,000 casks which were
destroyed by fire at Cotton's Wharf, was 56,000 casks. The
total supply at St. Petersburg ta eatinuttedat 95,000 to 100,000
casks, of which it is stated 30,000 will be retained there, leav-
ing about 615,000 to 70,000 casks for shipment to all places.
Out of this quantity British outports and foreigners will
require from 25,000 to 30,000 reeks, and the renuo oder, say
40,000, for London, and from other places 25,000 or 30,000
casks. The account, therefore, will stand thus:-Ist JUG!,
186 L, stock, 56,000 casks. ; supply (ran Se. Petersburg,
40,000caaks. ; supply from other places, 27,500 casks. ; Pita,
123,500 casks. Delivered from Ist of June, 1831, to lit of
June, 1832 (the only sermon which bears any analogy to the
present one), 128,000.mA'. It appears, therefore, to be evi-
dent that the total supply from all sources during the cur-
rout season will be barely equal to the requirements of the
trade for consumption )provided prices do nut materially
advance), leaving no stock whatever on hand in June, 180...
But the scanty supply coming forward from St. Petersburg,
and consequent scarcity of new tallow all this season, will
render the settlement of the outstand.inmgg bear account so
difficult of adjustment that a very eoosidenble advance in
price seems to be inevitable before that aocouut QM be
closed.
