MONEY AT ARKET.

CITY NEWS—YESTERDAY.
About £107,000 in gold was sent into the Bank

A general meeting of the shareholders in the Bank
of London is convened for Jan. 19.
The Liverpool cotton market was steady, with
Sales to the extent of 8,000 bales.
We nuderitand that the tender of the Royal
Mail Steam Packet Company for the conveyance of
the mails between Southampton and Brazil has
been accepted by government. The new contract
18 for a period of seven years, and the previous sa-
tisfactory arrangements will be closely adhered to.
The whole of the tenders sent to government for the
West Indian mail service are believed to have been
l'ejected. Fresh tenders, however, are expected to
be invited.

Advices received, via New York, announce that
dell
eyrhole of the £200,000 in specie and bullion, as
as the cargo from Greytown, had been saved
the wreck of the Royal Mail steamer Avon.
The cargo consisted chiefly of indiarubber, and has
elyerienced but trifling injury from the water.
Kittle hope was entertained of saving the vessel.
Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have announced
Pqraent in due course of the dividend falling due
Jan. 1 on the Venezuela 3 and 1-1- per Cent.

Per cent. per annum on the latter, as agreed to by

falling due at the same time on the Venezuela 6 per

The commercial advices from New York state that
the financial recommendations of the Committee of
Ways and Means were expected to be adopted by
Congress with some modifications. The proposal
'that the Government should already retract their
Pledge to pay the interest on the national debt in
gold was thought likely to be set aside for the mo-
ment, Mr. Chase having already borrowed from
the banks enough to meet the sums on that ac-
count falling due on the Ist of January—nearly
4800,000. That the step would be taken before

dered certain. The proposal to limit the circula-

AMERICA'S DAY OF RETRIBUTION.

The following is an extract of a sermon preached
on Thanksgiving-day, by the Rev. F. G. Clark, in
the Presbyterian Church,Twenty-third-streer, New
York :—" The substance of the strife, as everybody
knows, is slavery. Settle this question and our
battles end. Over this vast problem we are fighting
the most desperate war the world ever saw. The
questions to be decided are too profound for mortal
solution. No man has yet risen up to tell us what
to do with this institution, or, if once rid of it,what
we shall do with the race thus emancipated. The
fruit of slavery has fattened the nation. It has be•
come the most influential thing in the land, because
the most profitable. We found it first a foundling
on our door stone. It grew up to rule the house.
We baptised it and called it Christian. We
canonised it, and called it Saint. We deified it and
served it as God. God waited, but did not forget.
If God is just, so huge a wrong can never die a
natural death. The day of reckoning has come.
What we have been hearing for a year is only the
rumbling of the world's great clock before it strikes
the hour of God's full time. God has taken this
great question out of the hands of States and states-
men, and politicians. He &creed that it should not
be adjusted ; and this because he is just. We are
powerless now. We can fight and die, but we cart
decide nothing. Why did we not conquer at Bull
Run ? Our General never failed before. Our sup-
plies, our troops, our courage, were enough for vic-
tory. Why then a defeat P

We would have conquered a hundred times, but
God is not ready. His retributions are incomplete.
He is holding everything in suspense until the
world shall pause to give attention. He has a
sublime work to do. The retributions now falling
due are rising like a tide, and running into all
the coves and fissures of society. Our land is more
and more finding out what God means.
God is just. Nations must remember tbeir sins.
God is doing a thing in the earth which all nations
will see and remember. Let us pray God to do this
work thoroughly, if we can bear it. May he settle
our troubles on the principles of truth and justice.
Better have the gold in the furnace twenty times
than have it come out aught else than gold. To God
we commit, with implicit faith, our bleeding coun-
try. " Our soul waiteth for the Lord : he is our help
and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in him
because we have trusted in his holy name.

A POLISH SALT MINE.

We came suddenly upon one group of workmen, under a
shelving ledge, who were occupied in detaching masses of
crystallised salt from a cleft in which they worked. They
were naked to the middle, having nothing on but coarse
trousers and boots, and wrought with their crowbars and
picks by the light of a few grease lamps held by grimy little
boys, with shaggy heads—members, no doubt, of the same
subterranean family. Some of the men were lying on their
backs punching away with tremendous toil at . the rugged
masses of salt overhead—theieheads,faces,and bodies glitter-
ing with the showers of salt grit that fell upon them; while
sthers stood up to their armpits in dark holes delving into
the lower crevices. Seeing our lights they stopped to game
at us. Was it possible they were human beings, these
bearded, shaggy, grimy-looking monsters ? Surely, if so,
they well represent the infernal character of the place.
Never upon earth (the surface of it I mean) had I seen such
a monstrous group; shocks of hair all powdered with salt;
glaring eyeballs overhung by white lashes flashing in the fit-
ful blaze of lamps ; brawny forms glittering with crystal
powder, and marked by dark currents of sweat f No wonder
I stared at them with something akin to distrust. They
might be monsters in reality, and take a sudden notion to
hurl me into one of their infernal pits by way of pastime,in
which case the only consolation would be that, where there
was such an abundance of salt, there would be no difficulty
about the preservation of my remains. After all, there was
something sad in the condition of these poor wretches—shut
out from the glorious daylight, immured in deep dark pits
hundreds of feet under ground, rooting, as it were, for life,
in the bowels of the earth. Surely the salt with which other
men flavour their food is gathered with infinite toil and
mingled with bitter sweat !--/Roper's Monthly Magazine.

ACCIDENT TO A RIVER STEAMER.—This morning
an accident happened to one of the Iron Steam Boat Com-
pany's vessels Citizen H, which at one time appeared rather
alarming. The boat had scarcely proceeded 100 yards from
Waterloo-bridge pier when she struck upon something
lying at the bottom of the river, which made a hole in her
side. The water instantly cleared the cabin of its passen-
gers, some of whom were very much frightened. Another
vessel belonging to the same company came to their assist-
ance, and all were taken off the injured boat without acci-
dent. Tho captain ran the vessel ashore ; but as the tide
was running up, the afterpart of the boat and engine-room
were, at one o'clock, entirely under water, Efforts are
being made to move her further hallow,

" CURTIS ow MANTIOOD. -This is truly a valuable work,
and should be in the hands of young and old. The profes-
sional reputation of the author, combined with his extensive
experience as medical referee in the treatment of nervous de-

this

7IIE CITY MUNICIPAL ELEC2IONSI

The annual meetings of the inhabitants of the
various wards of the City of London were held yes-
terday, in accordance with the Lord Mayor's pre-
cept. The proceedings on the whole were of a very
quiet character, and there are only three wards in
which there are contests, viz., Dowgate, Lang-
bourne, and Bishopsgate. The principal topics
under discussion were the general metropolitan im-
provements, the lighting of the public streets, and
the Lancashire distress. The bill about to be
brought before Parliament for relieving the streets
of some of the great traffic was also discussed at
several of the meetings.

ALDERS GATE.

Mr. Alderman Besley presided. In this ward
there was a vacancy, caused by the death of Mr.
Deputy Godson, and for which two candidates are
in the field, Mr. John Sewell and Mr. Frederick
Augustus France. The returns from the different
precincts gave the names of the following gentle-
men :—Mr. Lorkin (deputy), Mr. De Jersey (de-
puty), Mr. Woodward, Mr. Norris, Mr. Sims, Mr.
Chaplin, Mr. Fowler, Mr. Sewell, and Mr. France.
The alderman then took the sense of the wardmote
as to each name, when the result was as follows—
For Mr. Norris there voted 39; Mr. Chaplin, 37 ;
Mr. Lorkin, 36 ; Mr. Woodward, 36; Mr. Sims,
34 ; Mr. De Jersey, 34; Mr. Fowler, 29 ; Mr.
Sewell, 28 ; and Mr. France, 18. The alderman
accordingly declared the first-named eight gentle-
men to have been duly elected by a show of hands,
when a poll was demanded by Mr. John Herring
on the part of Mr. France, the same to open this
morning at ten o'clock and close at four in the
afternoon.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
HUDSON V. SIR If. SLADE AND OTHERS.

The evidence being concluded.
Sergeant Shee proceeded to address the jury in reply. He
contended that although the evidence appeared to exculpate
Sir F. Slade and others from giving the plaintiff into cus-
tody, yet it clearly showed that Mr. Bradshaw :was re-
spons ble for the act, as he accompanied the police to the
station-house when the officers were first called into the
Parliament-chamber of the Temple.
The case will occupy the whole of the day.

This was a meeting for last examination and discharge.
Mr. Pouk supported, and said that the case had been
adjourned for the bankrupt to furnish a goods and defi-
ciency account, which had been furnished, and he believed
that the trade assignees were satisfied, as there had been no
objection taken.

A clerk of the solicitor to the assignees appeared, but his
Honour said that he could not hear him. The solicitor
ought to have been in attendance in person ; he was allowed
a fee of a guinea, and ss. for his clerk. lie should there-
fore direct a memorandum to be placed on the proceedings
that, on the taxation of costs, the solicitor's fee should not
be allowed.

Mr. Pook said there was no ground for opposition, and
no creditor opposed.

This bankrupt was described as a wine merchant, of
Upper-road, Islington, and this was a meeting for last exa-
mination and discharge ; but being stated by Mr. E. Reed,
for the assignees, that an arrangement was pending for
winding up the matter out of court, an adjournment was
taken. The accounts are said to be heavy.

THE TARRAGONA INVESTIGATION.

It will be remembered that the decision of the Jockey
Club in this case was postponed from the Second October
Meeting until the Tuesday in the Houghton week ; and
after a resumption of the inquiry on Monday evening, the
stewards announced that, after a long investigation, there
is no case proved either against Colonels Burnaby or An-
nesley, the two gentlemen supposed to have been implicated
in this now celebrated case,

FORDIIAM'S PONY LEVITY AND NEPTUNUS.
It will be remembered that a match of £5OO each, between
Levity, " Fordham's pony," and Neptunus, was made some
time since, under the understanding that owners were to
ride. Some misunderstanding has arisen between Fordham
and Mr. Jackson, and as "owners up" was not specified in
the written articles, the owner of Neptunus now insists
that, according to a recognised rule of the Jockey Club,
no weights being specified, both Levity and Neptunus
must carry Sat 71b each ; in which case, doubtless, Bullock
will ride the last-mentioned horse. Fordham, on the other
hand, contends that the spirit of the match itself was on the
the verbal understanding that owners were to ride, and
that he can call witnesses to prove it was so arranged, un-
der which inference alone the match was made. The mat-
ter is, we believe, to come under the investigation of the
Stewards of the Jockey Club, at a meeting at the Subscrip-
tion Rooms, Newmarket, this (Wednesday) evening. In
the meantime, we shall be glad to hear that some amicable
settlement has been effected between the great jockey and
the Northern Leviathan.

THE O'CONNELL STATUTE MOVEMENT.—The Free-
man's Journal of yesterday in reference to this movement
says :—" The spirit of the country is daily manifesting
itself more and more earnestly in its efforts to do honour
to the memory of the great man. The first men in the
land are already amongst the subscribers. The head of the
Irish bar, the Lord Chancellor the head of the Catholic
Church, the apostolic delegate, the venerable Archbishop
of Dublin—the heads of the mercantile public, men of
all shades and classes are to be found on the list, and before
a mouth will have elapsed we confidently expect that every
parish and every town, and every village will have its
organisation. There has been already banked £953 14s. 6d.
and we have the most perfect confidence that before the day
we named the £2,000 will be beaked.,.

THE VIGOUR OF YOUTH RESTORED IN
FOUR WEEKS by Dr. RICORD'S ESSENCE OF
f,IFE.
This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most
.battered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution,
excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu-
ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate
case is four weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by
'he medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst.
Dr. Ricord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in-
tructions for use, at lie., or four quantities in one for 338.,
and will be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed,

SOUTHWARK.

DARING} Itortimiv.—A young man named William
Saunders, was charged before Mr. Maude with stealing a
pair of boots, value 4s. 6d., the property of Henry Fuller,
a boot and shoemaker in business, at 43, Union-street,
Boiough.

The prosecutor said that the boots were hanging on the
rail outside the shop, and he missed them about five
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and he then saw the prisoner
running across the road in the direction of the new street.
He told his shopman to follow him, and the latter suc-
ceeded in overtaking him, when he found the boots under
his coat. He brought him back to the shop, and prose-
cutor then gave him into custody—the prisoner not
offering any observation as to how the property came into
his possession.
This evidence was confirmed by the shopman, and it
appeared that the prisoner was well• kn wn to the police.
Sentenced to three months' hard labour,

TYING UP A DRUNIARD.—John Marks, an elderly
man, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and
assaulting Mr. William Shields, a sail maker, of Bridal-
road, Poplar.

It appeared that the prisoner, who has been in good cir-
cumstances, applied yesterday afternoon to Mr. Shields for
employment. The complainant said, " I have no work for
you, and if I had I should not employ you in the state you
are in." The prisoner, who was very much intoxicated,
used very bad language, and struck the complainant on the
nose. Mr. Shields and his son, a boy, were unable to re-
move the prisoner from the sail loft they were in, and
having sufficient materials at hand made the prisoner fast
to a beam, and prevented him using either hands
or feet. A constable was sent for, but one could
not be found, and the prisoner was then set free and
allowed to leave the said loft about 10 minutes afterwards.
Mr Shields, accompanied by Mr Stokes, a witness, left the
premises of the former, and were walking along the road
when the prisoner accosted them, made use of threatening.
language, and attempted to strike Mr. Shields. He "6
