CITY NEWS-THIS DAY.

CI a, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
There is no perceptible change in the position
of monetary affairs to-day. The inquiry is steadily
sustained, and it is supplied by the banks and
discount houses on the same terms as for some days
Past. By negotiating first class bills at per
cent. they continue to obtain a large amount of
business that would probably he taken to the Bank
of Englaud if full rates were demanded in the open
Market.
According to the advices just received from New
York, the demand for money at the latest date was
particularly quiet, and there was an unusual ac-
cumulation of specie in the city banks. A return,
completed to the 6th inst., exhibited a total of
£7,228 OW, while the deposits had increased to
£28,533.0t0.
At a meeting in India, on the 14:h ult., of the
Bank of Bombay a dividend was declared at the
rate of 9 per cent. per annum.

The adjourned meeting of the Elst India Steam
Navigation Company will take place on the 30th
instant.

The accounts from the manufacturing districts,
for the past week, are generally satisfactory. The
woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield
continue steady, while a moderate business was
done in cloths and yarns at Manchester, at fully
previous rates. The hosiery and lace trades of
Leicester and Nottingham remained active, while
in several departments of business at Birmingham
and Sheffield there has been a slight improvement.
The interest due on the Ist of October on the
Melbourne, Mount Alexander, and Murray River
Railway Loan is advertised as payable on and after
that date.

The ordinary general meeting of the Lower As-
Itam (Tea) Company is convened for the 29th inst.
The traffic receipts of the Dutch Rhenish Rail-
way for the fortnight ending 31st August, amounted
to £11,431 12s. 112 d., and for the corresponding
period of last year to £10,853 15s 11d., showing
an increase of £577 17s. 10d. in favour of the pi e-
sent year. The receipts since the commencement
of the present book 3 ear, on the Ist May, including
the above, amounted to £78,726 3i. 4d., showing
an increase, as compared with the corresponding
period of last year, of £4,031 19s. 101 d. The work-
ing expenses for the fortnight amounted to /3,632
58.5 d., or 31 77 per cent. of the receipts, and for the
corresponding period of last year to £3,294 64., or
30 35 per cent., showing an increase of expenses
amounting to £337 19s. sd. against the present
year. The working expenses from the Ist May
to the 31st August, amounted to £28,141 184. lad.,
or 35 74 per cent. of the receipts. The working
expenses for the year 1861-62 were 38.45 per cent.
of the r, ceipts.

Two O'CLOCK.
The Liverpool cotton market to-day vg,s
at about Friday's rates. Sales about 3.000 hales.

09f. 35c., but receded to 69t. 30c., being 9 er cent.
better than on Saturday.
There was very little inquiry for E glishi wheat
in Mark lane to-day, and when sales were effected,
a decline of ls. to 2s. per quarter took place.
Business in the Eng Stock Market continues
very inactive, without the slightest indication of
any revival of speculation. Tha dealings for the
public as investors being also unimportant, the
market naturally presents an appearance of extreme
dulness. Consuls are 933 for transfer, and 933
for the Bth prox., being 3 per cent. lower than on
Saturday, owing to a few sales. The New Threes
and the Reduced remain at 92 3 ; Exchequer Bills,

35, then receded to 341, and is now 343 ; Egyptian
is 904 ; Moorish, 933 ; Peruvian, 983; Portuguese,
461 ; ditto New Scrip, 23 prem.; ✓Russian ditto is

1858, 671 68 ; ditto New Scrip, 11 3 dis.; and the
ConP,olides, 373 3.
In the Railway Share Market business has been
dull, and a downward movement has taken place
in prices, Great Easterns, Great Northern A.
Stock, North Westerns and South Westerns have
declined 55.; Midlands and North British 10s. ;
and London and Blackwell, £l.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings were
dull, and in several instances a shade flatter.
South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian, however,
were steady at 223; Great Luxembout g have re-
ceded to 14t-; Cape Town and Dock to 108. Born-
bay and Baroda to 103; and Great Indian Penin-
Bu, 1033 1031.

increased heaviness. Union Bank of London have
declined to 323; Oriental Bank to 54; Bank of
Australasia to 69; British and Irish Magnetic

MARKETS-THIS DAY.

MARK LANE.
Although the supply of English wheat on sale in the
country markets held on Saturday was very moderate, the
trade ruled heavy for all qualities, at a decline of from is
to 2s, per qr. Barley, oats, beans, and peas were steady at
late rates. Flour sold heavily at reduced currencies.
On the continent the wheat trade is dull at drooping
prices. Advices from New York state that the shipments
of breadstuffs to Great Britain continue on an extensive
scale.

Very moderate supplies of English grain were reosived
up to our market last week, but the imports from foreign
parts wore large, viz., 47,035 qrs. of wheat, 12,507 barley,
16,303 oats, 1,220 beans, 105 peas, 2,210 linseed, 636 rape-
seed, 2,250 maize, 75 sacks and 19,077 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to our market this morning the arrivals of new
English wheat were very, moderate, and the quality of tila
produce was unsatisfactory; indeed, many samples came
to hand in a condition decidedly unequal to that brought
forward on Monday last. For all descriptions, however,
the trade was in a very sluggish state, and sales could
be effected by submitting to a decline in prices, compared
with this day se'ennight of fully 2s per quarter.
The show of samples of foreign wheat was large, and con-
sisttyl, in part, of good old Dantzic and useful Arner'can
produce. All qualities, however, were very difficalt of
sale,and the quotations must be noted ls. to 2s. per quarter
lower than on Monday last.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at barely
last week's currency.
Malting barley was in short supply, and the demand
ruled steady, at full quotations. Grinding and distilling
sorts, however—owing to increased importations—moved
off slowly, and, in some instances, prices ruled the turn in
favour of buyers.
The inquiry for malt was somewhat restricted, yet no
change took place in its value.
The market was scantily supplied with home grown oats,
and the show of foreign samples was small. The trade,
consequently, ruled firm, and the currencies were fully
supporter.

New English beans come very slowly to hand, and the
import from igreign ports is small. All kinds commanded
extreme rates.
Both English and foreign peas—the suppliy of which was
small—ruled firm at full currencies.
The flour trade was very dull. Country marks were 6d
per 2801bs ; and barrels, 6d obeaper than on Monday last.

There was a very full average supply of foreign stock
on offer in to-day's market, in moderate condition. On the
whole sales progressed steadily, at about last week's cur-
rency.
With home-fed beasts we were seasonably well supplied,
and the arrivals from Ireland comprised 1,000 head. From
Scotland, however, the receipts were trifling. Prime Scots,
crosses, and shorthorns commanded a steady sale, at prices
fully equal to Monday last, the top figure being 4s 8d per
81bs, but most other breeds, which comprised the bulk of
the supply, moved off slowly, at late rates.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire,
we received 3,100 shorthorns, &c. ; from other parts of
England, 770 various breeds ; from Scotland, 12 Scots and
crosses ; and from Ireland, 1,000 oxen and heifers.

These were followed by a number of others.

For the time of year, the show of En4lish sheep was very
moderate. The condition of the stock, however. was good.
Downs and half •breds, as well as prime Leicesters, moved
off freely, at extreme quotations, a few pens of the former
having realised 5s 6d per 81bs. Other beasts ware in fair
request, at full currencies

Prime small calves changed hands freely, at fully late
quotations; otherwise the veal trade was in a sluggish
state, on former terms.
No change took place in the value of pigs, but the pork
trade may be considered steady.

St. Matthew's Day, felling this year on a Sunday, /he
annual orations at Chris•'a Hospital were postponed until
this morning; when 'he Lord Mayor, sheriffs, aldermen,
and common council attended in State. Divine service was
performed in Christ Church, Newgate-street ; the sermon
was preached by the Rev. T. W. H. Gurney, M.A., of
Trinity College, Cambridge, lately one of the masters of the
school, now Vicar of Clavering, Essex.
After service the Lord Mayor and corporation adjourned
to the hall of Christ's Hospital, where a large number of
visitors had assembled. From a raised dais in the centre
the speeches were delivered.
The proceedings w. re opened by Mr. E. C. BARER,
second Grecian schoolar of Magdalen College, Cambridge,
who recited a prologue in Latin iambics.
Mr. FREDERICK C. BARBER, fourth Grecian, who is
proceeding to St. John's College, Cambridge, delivered the
Greek oration on the benefits of the Royal Hospitals.

Next in order came the English oration on the same sub-
ject by Mr. HENRY HUGHES, first Grecian, Mathematical
Medallist, 1860, Pitt scholar, 1862, student of Christ Church,
Oxford. __ -

Mr. CLIFTON BOKENHAM, fifth Grecian, Mathematics'
Medallist, 1862, scholar of Pembroke College, Cambridge
delivered the French oration.
_ _ _

The National 21 nthem was then sung by the boys with
great power, and with this the interesting proceedings of
the day were brought to a close.

This morning Mr. W. Payne held an inquest at the
Tower Tavern, Tower-street, Westminster road, on th•
body of a woman named Sarah Ann Day, about 34 years of
age, who, as alleged, was murdered under somewhat
peculiar circumstances in the parlour of a house, No. 75,
Tower•street, Westminster-road, on the afternoon of
Thursday last.

The same evidence having been given as that which
appeared in The Sun of Saturday, the jury returned a
verdict of " wilful murder against Henry King," and the
coroner having made out the warrant of committal, handed
it to Mr. Thomas Cooke, the coroner's officer, to lodge it in
the hands of the Governor of Horsemonger-lane Gaol,
where the accused man King is at present confined under
remand.

LAW---THIS DAY.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.)
TN RR WM. G. HOWARD.

This was an application for discharge from custody under
peculiar circumstances—the grounds of the application were
that the debtor had filed a deed of composition, signed by
therequisitenumber of creditors, whereby he had assigned all
his property to trustees for the benefit of creditors, Which
was to be available in all matters of bankruptcy.
His Honour did not see that he had any power to inter-
fere. _ . _ _ _ _

Mr. Bagley opposed, and said that Howard had been
bankrupt and obtained his release, but a subsequent claim
against him arose, on which he was taken in execution, and
he then signed the deed of composition for the benefit of the
new ereditore to pay Is. in the pound, but no property had
been given. He was not in prison, but in Sloman's Spong•

ing House.
His Honour said he could notinterfere. An assignment
alone was not sufficient ; there must be an actual posses-
sion. It was not a case in which ho had any power.
Application refused.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

The September Sessions of the Central Criminal Court
commenced this morning before the Lord Mayor, the Re-
corder, Sheriffs aad Under-sheriffs.
The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, said the cases
to be considered by them were not more numerous thin
might have been expected, considering the period that his
elapsed since the court last sat. The first case which he

considered it necessary to call their attention to was that of
a man named Cooper, who was charged with the murder of a
woman who passed as his wife, at Isleworth. The pri-
soner, who was supposed to have been married previously,
went to Isleworth and proposed to live again with the de-
__

ceased, but she refused. They had a quarrel, and after-
wards they were walking together. A report of a pistol-
shot was heard, and in a few minutes afterwards

the deceased was found in a dying state, a bullet being,
after death, found in her head. The pri, oner had car-
ried three bullets with him, and when he was asked what
they were for he said one was for Annie (the deceased), olio
for her mother, and the ether for the person who might
take him. When he was taken into custody a loaded pistol
was round in his possession. The next case of wilful
murder was one against Adelaide Cole. She went up
stairs with her child, and shortly afterwards the infant was
found dead, its throat having be,n cut. There appeared to
be but little doubt that the prisoner was insane, but that

would be a question for the jury who tried the case to
decide. The next case was that of Susan Harter, who
wood charged with the murder of her new born child at
Wimbledon. She informed a fellow-servant of the fact of the
child's death, and afterwards the body was found in a box
belonging to the prisoner. According to the medical evi-
dence, the death of the child must have been caused by a
stick or some other instrument being thrust down its throat.
The next case was that against Mary Ryley, Emma Rose,
and Mary Flynn, who were charged with the murder of a
child belonging to Riley, who left it in charge of a girl,
who gave it some laudanum. When Riley came back and
ascertained what had been done she slapped the girl's face,
upon which she ran away, and had not been heard of since.
The coroner's jury found a verdict of wilful murder against
the three prisoners, but there did not appear to be any evi-
dence against them, and he was surprised at the ver-
dict, The learned Recorder then went at some length
into the cases preferred against Mrs. Catherine Wilson, of
poisoning two persons, and remarked that there was some
difficulty in the cases, as there was no direct evidence that
poison had been administered. There were several cases of
manslaughter. The only other case to which it was neces-
sary to call their attention was that of William Roupell,
who was charged with forging a deed, and also his father's
will. Ha 'did not know what evidence might be laid before
them; the only evidence apparently laid before the magis-
trate in Surrey,who committed the prisoner for trial, was his
own voluntary statement. There was the evidence of the
short hand writer, from which it appeare I that the prisoner
distinctly stated that he was guilty of the forgery of which
he was charged. A voluntary statement such as that made
upon oath, raised presumption against the prisoner, which
if not explained, would justify the grand jury in finding a
true bill against him on those charges of which he had
admitted himself to b, guilty.
The Grand Jury then retired to their room.

The trial of Mrs. Catherine Wilson has been fixed for
Friday. The Attorney General, Mr. Welsby, Mr. Clark,
and Mr. Orridge will conduct the prosecution, and Mr.
Montagne Williams has been retained for the defence.

THE ROUFELL FORGERY.

The Attorney General, Mr. Welsby, Mr. Clarke, and
Mr. Orridge, prosecute in the case.

UNLAWFULLY WOUNDING.
Edward Sandover was found guilty of unlawfullywound-
ing Emma Spurgeon, at Ilford.
It was proved that he had been drinking to excess, and
was in a state of delirium tremens.
The Recorder sentenced him to 12 months' imprisonment,
with hard labour.
