COMMERCIAL.

Istuw Youx, Oct. 12.
The stringency continues without material change ; the
rates do not range under 7 per cent., and it is generally
expected that the demand will continue and the rates be
kept up, though no pressure amounting to panic is antici-
pated. At Chicago the rates rule very high, and the market
is decidedly stringent, the demand being aetive and the
banks loth to meet it. Wheat has come freely forward, but
the pork crop West and the cotton crop South have yet to
be moved, and supplies will be required for this purpose.
The Eastern money market, through the payment of the
quarteEy dividend, is in an easier condition, and no doubt
the effect will soon be felt in the West. The supporters of
Pendleton and Butler's plan of repudiation are beginning
to understand the effect of their insane agitation. United
States Securities of all sorts have declined both here and
abroad. Although the decline was not very marked, yet
it was sufficient to induce the Secretary of the Treasury
officially to communicate the intention of the United
States to deal. honourably with their creditors. It is the
maddest folly to suppose that Butler and Pendleton are
backed by any respectable section of their countrymen,
and could only have a really damaging effect in Europe.
If our Securities fell heavily through any fright in your
markets, it is not improbable that they would be bought
in by the Secretary on Government account. At present
the Secretary is retiring the greenback-currency at the rate
of 84,000,000 per month as authorised by Congress. It is
a question whether the continuance of this policy
be not the best reply to the Repudiation theories.
As the volume of greenbacks decrease, the pre-
mium on gold must fall, and when both are equalised
a hundred dollars in greenbacks, purchasing a hundred,
dollars in gold, other schemes than those propounded must
be invented. Secretary APCulloch's policy is clear, and has
been shown by his operations during the past year. lie has
succeeded most satisfactorily in reducing the varieties of
securities and outstanding claims to a common fund, con-
solidating all into ono bearing a fair rate of gold interest.
It is to this point he works, and though the last statement
shows a slight increase iu the aggregate of the debt, yet
this is fully accounted for by the unusual expenditure and

diminished receipts from internal rdvmue, while tho re-
verse of this is the case during the present month, and a
largo balance is anticipated in the next statement. Gold
is steady, the last price being 1431 ltdoes not rise even
in the face of tho war rumours from Europe. There is an
increased demand for export, lust Saturday's steamers tak-
ing out $109,000. The total for the week was $297,393
against $270,000 for the corresponding week last year.
The imports at New York for the week and year ending
Saturday were $1,025,462 and $204,050,701, a decrease in
the latter amouut of $84,328,676 for the corresponding

to the hop plant. The season, however, is no w too far

THE PEACE CONGRESS AT GENEVA.—The follow-
ing are the three questions proposed for discussion
by the International Poaco Congress, which will open on
the 9th inst. at Geneva :—First--" Ia the reign of peace, to
which humanity aspires as the latest development of civi-
lisation, compatible with these great military monarchies
which rob the people of their most vital liberties, maintain
formidable armies, and tend to suppress small States for the
benefit of despotic centralisations ? or, is not rather the
essential condition of perpetual peace between nations
liberty foreach people, and in their international relations
the establishment of a confederation of free democracies
constituting the United States of Europe ?" Second—
" What are the means for preparing and hastening the
accomplishment of this confederation'of free States ? A
return to the great principles of the revolution, now at
last becoming truths ; the vindication of all liberties, indi-
vidual and political ; an appeal to all the moral energies
and to conscience ; the diffusion of popular education ;
the destruction of prejudices of race, of nationality, of sect,
of military spirit; the abolition of standing armies; the
harmonising of economic interests with liberty ; the agree-
ment of policy with morality." Third--." What would be
the best means of rendering the action of the International
Congress permanent and effective ? The organisation of
a permanent association of the frientiq of democracy and
of liberty." • •

the revenue by an increase of the income-tax, a
further issue of State notes, and a loan not exceed-

the men in spite of what I take to be bad advice.
When I talk of bad advice I do not wish to be misun-
derstood. I do not know enough of those who came
into this district to produce changes and discontent
to impute any bad motives to them. But when I
speak of bad advice I speak of the effects of that
advice, and not of the motives that prompted it.
The advice was to my mind bad in this degree—it
was advice that did not tend to the good of the
men, and which could not have led to their advan-
tage, and which they did well and wisely in repu-
diating. NOw upon no person would it less pro-
perly devolve than on myself to enter into the cir-
cumstances which have taken place during the last
year. You all know how great and active attempts
were made to create a spirit of discontent, and to
induce the working men of this country to think
they ought to place themselves in an attitude of
hostility to the masters. To a certain degree these
attempts were at first successful, but there were a
considerable number who knew from the beginning
that this was all wrong, and could not tend to any
ultimate good. They took courage to speak out
themselves, and so soon as they did so they found
many more coming round to the opinion that there
was no real ground for discontent, and that there
was no real ground for placing themselves in all
attitude of hostility to their employers, and that
above all it was not to their interest to allow fetters
to be imposed upon them, so as to prevent them
disposing of their own labour as they thought best.
The opinions of the non-union men gradually pre-
vailed and gained the preponderance. There can
be no more marked testimony to the complete suc-
cess which had attended their efforts in combination
with the earnest and considerate, and temperate and
moderate conduct of Mr. Markham, than the scene
we have witnessed this day, when so many of the
working men of Staveley have come forward to
present to Mr. Markham this signal mark of their
approbation. lam not going to trespass upon your
attention more than to say this occasion will be
long remembered as one of the most remarkable in
the history of Staveley—it is an event which de-
serves to be known throughout the country. It is
a proof that there is no real antagonism, and that
the working men know and feel that there is no
real antagonism, really in the interests of capital
and labour, and that where there is a will there is
certainly a way for a good understanding between
employers and employed. I trust this good under-
standing will long continue, and that this day will
long be remembered as one of the_ brightest and
most remarkable which ever occurred in the his-
tory of Staveley. (Loud applause.)
Mr. Jackson, M.P. for North Derbyshire;
Allport, general manager of the Midland Railway ;
Mr. NC7. marsh, and several other gentlemen ad-
dressed the audience to the same purport, and the
proceedings, which had been throughout very en-
thusiastic, terminated with the National Anthem.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 4, 1867.

The Reform Fête and Banquet Committee are
determined not to spare any efforts to render their
undertaking as successful as possible. They have
solicited the aid of Earl RUSSELL and Mr. GLAD-
STONE, and these distinguished statesmen have
taken advantage of the opportunity thus afforded
to them in their replies to give vent to some of
their feelings of disappointment at the chrracter of
the Reform Bill. Earl RUSSELL will be in Ireland ,
at the time •fixed for the entertainment to take
place, and has, therefore, sufficient reason for re-
fusing the invitation held out to him. The noble
lord goes on to say that be must be candid, and his
feelings are not those of rejoicing. " I must add,
therefore, that I am too uncertain what effect
Lori DERBT'S leap in the dark may produce to be
a fit and enthusiastic companion for those who
wish to celebrate the passing of the
Reform Bill of 1867." This is decisive
at any rate, and very likely is more to the
point than many of the speeches that will be
delivered on the occasion referred to. We never
expected that Earl RUSSELL would be pleased if
any Reform Bill were passed, but we hardly thought
he would be so extreme as this. The noble lord is
no flatterer, far from it ; he speaks his mind in a
downright, simple, straightforward fashion, and he
is certainly by no means sanguine respecting the
present Administration. On the contrary, he men-
tioos many npJasuros which he deems to be
wces3ary for the welfare of the country,
and then adds, " Upon all these mea-
sures the present Government will, I conceive,
use the influence which they have acquired to resist
and suppress those remedial schemes, which, in my
ju lginent, are absolutely essential for the future
welfare and honour of the United Kingdom." It
would be easy to say that these are not generous
terms in which to speak of political opponents
when there is no particular question uppermost to
engage attention or to excite controversy ; but
we can go further, and say that the language
here used is not just. This time last year, had he
been called upon to speak prophetically, would

MEETING THIS DAY.

The usual half-yearly general meeting of this
company was held to-day at the London Tavern,
Mr. llugh Montgomerie, the chairman, presiding.
The report, copies of which had been circulated
amongst the shareholders, was taken as read.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report and statement of accounts, said the first
point to which the report referred was the
reduction of the expenditure, according to
the resolutions passed at the last half-yearly
meeting. The accounts went three months beyond
the period of that meeting, and as far as pos-
sible the estimates made had been carried out. The
expenditure in Canada was $lB,OOO, and in Eng-
land £2,170 10s. 4d. That sum did not include
the £3OO remuneration to the directors, but that
would not affect the shareholders, as the directors
would not take any remuneration for the present
year. He had no doubt that the Canadian Govern-
ment would have met them fully and frankly with
respect to the question of the settlement, and they
had done so, allowing an extension of three
years for the settlement. With respect to
the gold in the township referred to in
the last report, there had been nothing since
to induce the directors to believe that gold did
exist ; but, on the other side, there was nothing to
show that gold did not exist in the quartz formation
which would pay, and if that were the case the
business of the colony would be very great. There
had been an increase in their timber trade, and this
was a most opportune period for the sale of timber.
The state of the township was so fully explained in
the report as to render it unnecessary for him to go
further into that subject.
After some discussion the rer ort was ultimately
adopted.

- BOROUGH HOP.

Tho accounts from the plantations are more encourag-
ing, the late genial weather having proved most beneficial
to the hop plant. The season, however, is no w too far
advanced to hope for any very considerable change. The
market is very inactive, and quotations aro quite nominal.

THE PEACE CONGRESS AT GENEVA.—The follow-
ing are the three questions proposed for discussion
by the International Peace Congress, which will open on
the 9th inst. at Geneva :—First—' Is the reign of peace, to
which humanity aspires as the latest devolopment of civi-
lisation, compatible with these great military monarchies
which rob the people of their most vital liberties, maintain
formidable armies, and tend to suppress small States for the
benefit of despotic centralisations i or, is not rather the
essential condition of perpetual peace between nations
liberty foreach people, and in their iatornational relations
the establishment of a confederation of free democracies
constituting the United States of Europe ?" Second—
" What aro the means for preparieg and hastening the
accomplishment of this confederation of free States? A
return to the great principles of tie revolution, now at
last becoming truths ; the vindicaticn of all liberties, indi-
vidual and political ; an appeal to all the moral energies
and to conscience ; the diffusion o' popular education ;
the destruction of prejudices of race, of nationality, of sect,
of military spirit ; the abolition of standing armies; the
harmonising of economic interests vith liberty ; the agree-
ment of policy with morality." Tlird—" What would be
the best means of rendering the acion of the International
Congress permanent and effective? The organisation of
a permanent association of the friends of democracy and
of liberty."

FOUNDERING OF TWO STEAMERS.

Yesterday afternoon a somewhat remarkable oc-
currence took place on the river below bridge by
the sinking of two steamers. The Condor (s.)
645 tons, was one of the fleet belonging to the
North German Lloyd's Company commanded by
Captain Bosse, from Stockholm and Copenhagen,
laden with iron and general goods, was coming up
the river, and on arrivng off the Surrey Commercial
Docks by some accident she got athwart a tier
of vessels moored on the Rotherhith side, and
came with such force on the stern of one of the
vessels as to knock a hole in one of her plates
below the water line, causing her to commence filling
immediately. The steamer was without loss of time
extricated from her position, and the captain learn-
ing from the engineer that the water had nearly
reached up to her fires in the engine-room, caused
her to be immediately run ashore, where she filled,
and at high water only her masts and funnel were
to be seen.
The other mishap betel the Druid steamer, 615
tons burden, which had arrived from Cronstadt
with a cargo of grain. In steaming up past Wap-
ping she struck heavily on something at the bottom
of the river, apparently an anchor, which ripped
open some of her plates, and caused her instantly to
fill, and she sank, the crew escaping by the rigging.
The latter will be a serious loss, as her cargo will be
destroyed and useless before she can be raised.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CRUEL ROBBERY. —Edward Elliott, a young man, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a silk dross, a
lace shawl, and a sovereign, the property of a young
woman named Caroline Harrison, residing at 2, Union-
street, Middlesex Hospital.
Tho prosecutrix, an unfortunate, said that on Saturday
morning the prisoner called between 7 and 8 o'clock to see
Mrs. Webb, the person she was lodging with. The pri-
soner was admitted into Mrs. Webb's shop, the prosecutrix
being in bed in the parlour at the time, and shortly after
said he would go out and fetch in two friends, and he left,
and at the same time she heard the rattling of silk, and on
going into the shop, where she had loft her clothes, she
missed them, and also a sovereign which was in her dress
pocket. Some time afterwards the prisoner came back, and
she then taxed him with robbing her, and held him, but
he scratched her and got from her, and ran away.

—Mr. Tyrwhitt asked whether either of the prisoners came
into the shop.
The prosecutrix answered in the negative.
The prisoner said it was one of tho men who took the
things, and a pawnbroker in Wardour-street could prove
that it was another man who offered the articles in

pledge.
Police-constable Robert Carter, 117 C, said that on
taking tho prisoner into custody last night ho said he had
not committed the robbery, but that it was one of his
friends, and he also said that if they did not lock him up
he would pay the prosecutrix ss. a-week.
The prisoner said ho never made such a statement.
Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the prosecutrix whether she went
with the officer to the prisoner's lodgings to give him into
custody.
The prosecutrix said she was unable to go, as she bad
no dress to put on.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would remand the prisoner, who
could call his two friends as witnesses if ho thought
proper.

DESTRUCTION OF THE ARKADL

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 27.
Fuad Pasha's mission to the Czar, the rumours of
extensive Ministerial changes, and the actual com-
munication by the Sultan to his Divan of his per-
sonal views and projects with respect to the material
improvement of the Empire, as suggested by his re-
cent tour in Western Europe—. interesting as those
topics are--occupy the Constantinopolitan mind,
Turkish or Greek, very little in comparison with
an event which has created a sensation here only
short of that which would be produced by the final
extinction of the Cretan insurrection, so often
officially announced, but now only beginning to
look like a certainty. The Izeddin, one of the Sul-
tan's yachts, which has for some time been em-
ployed in cruising in the Cretan waters, arrived
here on Friday last with the news that the career
of the famous blockade-runner, the Arkadi,
had at last been cut short. Though the Izeddin
was decorated with flags in honour of the achieve-
ment, in which she herself took the principal part,
the Greeks refused to believe in the catastrophe,
and one of their local papers denied even the news
published by the semi-official French papers, but
had to issue a special edition in the evening re-
tracting its contradiction. The following account
of the Arkadi's destruction may be relied on as
' correct :—" On Monday evening, August 19, the
Izeddin was lying with her steam up under the
lofty rocks of Aya-Roumeli, on the southern coast
of Crete. There was no moon, and it was a dull,
cloudy night. At a quarter past 9 the officer of the
watch, and the men on the look-out beard the
sound of paddlewheels, which ceased in a few mo-
ments. The Izeddin fired a couple of shots, and the
unknown steamer, which had evidently been pro-
ceeding stealthily, then quickened her speed, and her
situation was made known by the smoke from her
funnels, which previously was not visible. The
Izeddin, which was about four or five miles off, at
once followed in her wake, and commenced by firing
her two bow guns—Prussian breech-loaders—the
Arkadi (as the stranger was concluded to be) reply-
ing with her stern gun. She overtook the Arkadi
after a chase of two hours and a half. The Arkadi
suddenly stopped, owing, it was afterwards found,
to the derangement of the starboard paddlewheel,
caused most likely by a shot from the Izeddin. The
latter, hooting past, fired one of her stern chasers,
which raked the Arkadi's deck, and then, turning
swiftly back, with full steam on, struck the Arkadi
on the stal;board bow, which she ripped up. The two
vessels remained in close quarters for eight or nine
minutes, during which time both crews fought hand
to hand over the bulwarks, the Greeks firing pisto7s
and throwing tomahawks, and the Turkish marines
keeping up a steady fire with their rifles. No at-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

BOW-STREET,

AN ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY.—George Gibson, a stoker,
employed by Messrs. Jeakes and Co., of Great Russell-
street, Bloomsbury, engineers and contractors, at their
works in Charles-street, Drury-lane, was charged with
stealing between two and three lbs. of brass castings, the
property of his employers.
Mr. Abrams, who appeared for the prosecution, stated
that though the property stolen on this occasion was of
little value, there was reason to believe that a system of
robbery had been going ou for some titno. The discovery
was purely accidental, living resulted from one of the
other men taking the prisoner's coat ininistake for his own.

James Nicholson said he was a handy man, employed at
Messrs. Jeakes' and Co.'s work,:, in Char:es-street. Prisoner
was stoker in the smiths' shop. Last evening: witness,
when leaving work, took up a coat which he thought was

his own, and was in the act of putting it on, when he
noticed that it was somewhat heavy, and putting his hand
into one of the pockets took out a pocket handkerchief
containing between two and- three lbs. of brass cuttings.
Thinking some one had been playing a trick upon him ho
exclaimed—" Who has been putting metal in my pocket.'
One of the men called out to the prisoner, "Gibson„
have you been putting anything into Niatolson's pocket ?'
The prisoner replied "lie ?" and hurried towards the spot.
Witness then perceived that he had got the wrong coat,
and said, " Oh, it is not mine." •' No, said the pri-
soner, " it is mine." Nicholson asked him what busi-
ness ho had with cuttings in his pocket ? lie replied
that he picked them up when sweeping the shop. At that

time the foreman was gone, but the first thingin the morn-
ing witness spoke to him about it.
John. Toomey, the foreman, said in consequence of what
the last witness told him he sent for tie prisoner, and
asked him what he meant by stealing the brass cuttings. The
prisoner said he picked them up, but he did not take them
out of the works, and he did not call that stealing.
The prisoner, being called upon to plead, said, " I am
not guilty of stealing the brass."
He was committed for trial.
