MONEY MARKET 'IND WTI VEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

About £133,000 in gold was sent into the Bank
of England yesterday, making the total influx since
the date of the last return amount to £689,000.

The Ottoman Railway Company (from Smyrna
to Aidin) have received a telegram announcing the
opening of a further portion of the line on the 9th
inst., viz., to Gelat Café. 37 miles from Smyrna, and
it was expected that the first section to Kosbounar
would be opened on the 15th proximo.
There was rather more animation in the Liver-
pool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices tended
upwards. The sales were 12,000 bales.
With regard to American Securities, the sub-
joined remarks are from the circular published by
Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite :—" The market in London
for American Securities continues very dull. The
character of the advices lately received from New
York has induced a great amount of distrust, and
the disposition to sell appears to increase. Erie
shares are offering at 22, and Preferred Stock at
43, without meeting buyers. Illinois shares have
touched 39/ discount, and Construction Bonds, 8111
this price includes the coupon of 31 dollars, due Ist
October. In Federal and States Stock there is but
very little doing,"

The Molloy Market during the last few days has
shown a decided tendency in the direction of in-
creased easiness. Large quantities of gold have
been sent into the Bank of England, and bills have
been discounted as low as 31 per cent. It was,
therefore, imagined that the directors might deem
it expedient to adjust their minimum quotation to.
day at 31 per cent., but the weekly Court has not
resulted in any alteration.

The market for Public Securities opened this
morning with a buoyant appearance, but the deal-
ings were rather restricted. At first an additional
improvement of per cent. took place, but it was
not fully maintained. The quotations are still
rather higher than they were yesterday afternoon.

TABLE-TURNING A CENTURY AGO —Some years
after the astonishing transactions, and when the Stockwell
Ghost had begun to fade and be no more heard of, this same
Ann Robinson made a private confession to a gentleman
capable of enjoying a practical joke even when it bordered
—as this certainly did—on downright wickedness. She put
long horse-hairs to some of the crockery, and wires under
others ; on pulling or touching these of course the moveables
fell. When she saw the effect of her first feats she was tempted
to exercise her dexterity beyond the original purpose for mere
amusement. She loosened the hams and bacon, attaching
them by the skins, which soon gave way ; and she threw
a chemical powder into the pail of water as she passed, after
which it bubbled. She managed to throw down several
articles with her own hands, and when the victims turned
and saw them broken or in motion, they attributed it to
unseen agency. In short, the only magic was the dexterity
of the supposed witch, and—a very large feature in the
case—the alarm of the spectators, whose terror at the time,
and their conversations afterwards, magnified many of the
circumstances and invented others, and who were too full
of their own dread of supernatural agency to be capable of
examining anything, or even of a moderate degree of obser-
vation.--once a week.
TUE FATAL ACCIDENT IN A CANAL TUNNEL.—
An inquest on the bodies of the two men, named Edward
Broadbent and 'William Webb, who lost their lives in a
canal tunnel, as reported in our columns yesterday, has
been held. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased
were accidentally suffocated by the smoke in the tunnel.
They also recommended the company to sink additional
vent,la.tin g shafts.

Two cases of offences against public morals, in
which the accused were ecclesiastics, have just been tried
by the provincial courts of ee
In the Charente-
seen assaults on
school Charente-
Inferieure, Philip Delaurier, a broth I
brother of
the Christian
Doctrine, was indicted for committing indecent
as many as 25 children, who attended the
the brotherhood at Saintes. The offences were fullyl kept by

and the jury having brought in a verdict of guilt
without
extenuating circumstances, the Court senteneld, tie
Boner to hard labour for life.—The ether case occurred in
Dr-
Loire-Inferieure, where a priest named Burbin was accused
of indecent assaults, attended with violence, on the persons
of two young women of the parish where ho officiated. The
evidence not being altogether conclusive on every point, the
jury declared the prisoner not guilty, but the President of
the Court, in pronouncing his acquittal, addressed him as
follows :—" Burbin, you have heard the verdict of the jury,
which declares you not guilty of the whole charge brought
against you ; but the offence of indecent conduct towards
young women still subsists. You are free, but dishonoured ;
you are no longer worthy to be the priest of society." Then
turning to the gendarmes the President added, " Gen-
darmes, remove him r
