GENERAL COURT-MARTIAL.
CHATHAM, Ocr. 20.
The general court-martial ordered to assemble at
this garrison for the trial of Lieutenant George William Von-
aittert. Yule, Royal Engineers, met at Chatham barracks this
morning, the court bebg composed of the following men-
here —Colonel C. Elmhbin, commanding the 3rd Balance,
president; Lientensat-Colonel G. Elliot, Royal Marines;
Lieutenant-Colonel A. P.O. Rose, Royal Engineers ; Lieu-
tenant•Dolonel J. H. Orecoigne Royal Matinee; Major
D. G. A. Darrock, 3rd Battalion; 'Major A. Wombwell, tad
Battalion ; Captain J. V. O'Donnell, 27th Inniskillinp;
Captain B. Grantham, 98th Regiment ; CaPaW J. W. A.

tain Wiltshire, 87th Royalßoyallrish Fusiliers; Lieutenant
W.
C. E. Lund, Royal Env:mere ; Lieutenant It. T. Sweeny,
83rd Regiment ; and Lieutenant C. R. Ricketts, 32nd Regi-
ment. The Deputy Assistant Adjutant General, Lieutenant-
Colonel J. W. Reynolds, officiated ea Deputy Judge Ad-
vocate.
Immediately on the court being opened, the President,
addressing the reporters, informed them that nothing of the
proceedings of that court would be allowed to be publiahed
until the conclusion of the trial. The charges against the
prisoner were very numerocm, and occupied some time in
reading. The principal charges were, for conduct to the pre-
judice of good order and military discipline in several In-
stances, mere especially in having absented Lima& from arty
mincing parade on the mornings of the 31st August, and
the let, Isd, 3rd, and 4th of September, although orderedby
Major B. P. N. H. Nugent to attend prudeet six o'clock ; foe
absenting himself on several occasion from the °facers'
hall of study, Brocopton Barracks, and when desired
to write a letter explaining his rereema for so doing,
allow' r the official letter to remain nnanawered fur
a period of twenty-three hours; for absenting himself from
a regimental court-martial, of which he warn a member,
ordered to assemble on the Bth of September; for scandalous
conduct unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentle-
men, in having stated that he was absent from lots quarters
all day on the 6th September, and aleo in further falsely
stating that he left his room at I p.m. on the 9th September,
and did not return until 6 in the afternoon, when he was not
absent frees his room thaty until o'clock in the evening."
The prisoner pleaded not guilty to the whole of these charge,
The court was °erupt the whole of this day in taking the
evidence of Major Nugent in support of the charges, his
examination occupying nearly floe hours. The witness
proved the whole of the first portion of the charges. At 4
o clock the court adjourned until II to-marrow. The trid,
which attracts much interest in the garrison, is likely to
last several days.

Tr:LEG RAM."—There has been a good deal of die-
=melon in the newspapers above this werC and its claim to
be accepted as legittinattli.L.porl Ms d from the two Greek words
out of which the word been formed. In the
course of that dissuasion it been severel times stated, in
letters to the nays, that the word " telegram" originated
in the whim= of that journal ; and the nines was evidently
as well dispoeed to " own the soft impeachment," as Mrs.
Maley." could possibly be. The statement, however, is
altogether enomona. So for ea we know, the word first
fa the Timer, when giving the first despatch from
egrealls74,d about two months ago; and then it was commu-
nicated front the Foreign OEoe, not only to the noes, but
to the other Laren papers. 8o far as we can discover, the
weed was elm 11111t1 In India, and &peen frequently in the

General Hearsay, dated Calcutta, April 21, 1857, which

AIONRY MARICBT-THIS DAY.

Two °Tux&

The funds remain very firm. A further advance
of about 3 per cent. aas attained in the morning,
and although this led to some sales, prices are still
quoted } per cent. higher than at four o'clock yes-
terday. Most of the other departments of the Stock
Exchange are fairly supported.
Consols for the 10th of November, after touching
881 to 89, fell to 881 to 1, and are now quoted 881,
" buyers." The Three per Cents. Reduced are marked
871 and 881; the New Three per Cents., 871, 881,
and 871; Bank Stock, 214 and 212 ; India Stock,
2091; Exchequer 8i115,141. tolOs. dis.; India Bonds,
335. to 26a. die., being heavy; and Exchequer
Bonds, 1868, 961.
Turkish Six per Cents. are rather flatter, at
871 to /. The only other foreign securities in
which transactions are officially recorded are the
following :—Brazilian Old Five per Cents. at 991
Dutch Four per Cent.*Certifs. at 97 ; and Spanish
Old Three per Cents. at 401.
The Phoenician his arrived from Sydney, but has
only 10,3001. in gold on freight. Her dates are old.
In all quarters yesterday the course of affairs wu
characterised by quietude. The supply of money in
the discount market wu larger than has been wit-
nessed of late, owing partly to the high rates now
offered for loans, and partly to the fact that the divi-
dends have been so recently released. At the Bank
of England the applications, though to a fair extent,
were upon a quieter uale,owing, perhaps, to the acti-
vity of the demand on Monday, prior to the raising of
the rate to 8 per cent. It was announced that the
Council of the Bank of France were convened as early
as nine o'clock yesterday morning, and, after a rather
protracted sitting, raised the rate of discount from
ak to 71 per cent. ; but this movement had been
anticipated, and consequently produced no effect
here. There is still no sign of a revival of the drain of
gold to the Continent, and the Bank of England yes-
terday purchased about 68,0001. in Australian gold,
in addition to the 60,0001. mentioned yesterday. It
is expected, however, that a considerable amount in
sovereigns will be despatched to New York this
week. The Arago will sail from Southampton for
that port to-day, also the City of Baltimore, from
Liverpool, and the Canada, from Liverpool, on

Saturday.
The purchases, which consist partly of ft-invest-
ments of the dividends, are rapidly absorbing the
supply of stock afloat amongst the dealers, and
have caused the value of money in the "house' to
decline to 5 to di per cent. for loans on government
securities up to the 10th November. This state of
things is inducing capitalists and bankers to borrow
money on government stock in the market, since
they can employ the money at much higher
rates. Yesterday stock to the amount of up-
wards of 200,0001. is understood to have been thus
lent. The dealers in the Steck Exchange take the
stock readily enough, because they have need of it
to complete the contracts which they have already
made with investors. It is highly probable that, if
the public continue to pour money into the Stock
Exchange, bankers will avail themselves of the
supply to a much more considerable extent, de-
positing their stock temporarily in the market. Of
the large amount of stock mentioned as sold on
Saturday, about 100,0001. was delivered yesterday,
being the first transfer-day of the week, but this
was quickly absorbed. Another small purchase of
Reduced Thrft per Cents. was made by the govern-
ment broker.

The Paris Bourse retains great steadiness. The
effect of the rise in the rate of discount of the Bank of
France yesterday was a fall of only about per cent.
in the Three per Cent. Renton which closed at 66.70,
both for money and the end of the month. On the
Boulevard, prior to the opening of the Bourse this
morning, transactions took place at 66.60.
At Vienna and Frankfort on Monday there was an
improvement of I to 4 per cent. in the Austrian
funds, from which it is to be inferred that the rise in
the rate of dismount in London was not known in
those cities. Letters from Vienna describe the state
of financial affairs as very critical, and express fears
of failures. Any embarrassment there would proba-
bly react with severity upon the French market.
At Amsterdam on Monday there was a general, but
not excessive, fall in the prices of securities. Austrian
stock declined 4 per cent.
From Milan we learn the suspension of Messrs.
Balabio and Co., a banking firm of old standing.
The house is understood to have been interested m
the Lombardo Venetian Railway.
At Hamburg the rate of discount remains at 94
per cent.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were
generally firm. As rapids the rates on Pula,
Belgium, and Hamburg, the tendency was favoura-
ble. The quotation for Austrian paper has ad-
vanced. The current rates are shown below, viz.:
Amsterdam, three months, 11.191 to 12; do., short, 11.16
to 16; Rotterdam, three months, 11.121 to 12 ; Antwerp,

At Paris on Monday, the exchange on London was
more favourable, being quoted at 25.25 to 274 for
short, and 24.80 to 824 for three months bills.
The produce markets remain flat, and many arti-
cles retain a downward tendency, including sugar
and tea. At the public sales of coffee held yesterday
a decline of 2s. per cwt. was in many instances sub-
mitted to.
A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Ross,
Mitchell, and Co. is called for the 23rd inst., at
2 o'clock, at the Guildhall Coffee-house; and for the
26th inst., at 1 o'clock, at the Queen's Hotel, Glas-
gow. A statement of the affairs of the firm will
then be submitted by Mr. Henry Chatteris, the ac-
countant. _ _
