Money.

Money.
The money market to-day shows little
if any improvement in the demand for
accommodations, and but little is being
done outside of the usual routine of
business. In discounting notes the
banks charge 10 to II per cent, and in
the open market J to p per cent is the
rate charged.
Exchange is in better supply and Of
ferings between banks more liberal.
Some few transactions are reported to-
day at 81 premium per $1,000, and others
are mentioned where lots of $4,000 was
taken at par. In selling ic premium is
the rate charged on New York checks.
There is but limited offerings of coin
to-day, and excepting small purchases
Of gold at llll to lll2 nothing has been
done. The opening rate at New York
was ll2s, and at one clock decline
of &c was reported.
Local stocks, scrips, uneurrent money
and railway shares are quiet and without
the slightest change.

A Cincinnati telegram of last night
reports the return of the committee of
the Chamber of Commerce appointed to
visit the Louisville canal The commit
tee state that everything was favorable
to the completion of present contracts
and opening of the canal to navigation
by the 10th of October, save the work
awarded to Hugh Mckinney & Co., and
that they had been assured by General
Weitzell that unless this firm showed
disposition and ability by the goth inst.
to finish the work in the time desig-
mated, he would take the work from their
hands and place it in others who would
be certain to do it.
A resolution was adopted by the Gin
cinnati Chamber of Commerce yester-
day, asking the cooperation of the
Board of Trade in the effort to procure
Congressional appropriation of three
hundred thousand dollars for work re-
quired to be done after the completion
of present contracts upon the Louisville
canal.
The Memphis and Arkansas River
Packet Company have again been

The river rose upwards of twelve
inches at this point yesterday, and was
still rising at dark, with twenty-five
inches on the shoals. The rains of Fri
day evening and night above are re-
ported heavy, and this causes the rise
here.

land grounded a few days ago at Mud

erstaf bar, six miles below.

This celebrated sauce is used and is
highly esteemed throughout the world,
in India, in Asia, on the continent of
Europe, in Australia, and the United
States. Lea & Perrin have appointed,
as sole agents in the United States
Messrs. John Duncan & Sons, of Union
Square and Fourteenth street, New York
City. There are so many spurious mix
lures and limitations of the Worcester
shire sauce that the manufacturers have
carefully stamped the bottles and tables
with the style of the firm, and have in
structed all lovers of the sauce, when
desiring to purchase the same, to be
careful and ask for Lea & Perrin sauce.

Before Judge Joachlmsen.
Gilbert u.s. MacduE-This case came up on an ap-
pication for new trial on the ground Of newly DIS
covered evidence. Bya recent of the Legislature
passed April ~, 1871. IN relation to the Marine
Court 1t Is provided that the said Marine Court has
power to grant new trial In any action on the
ground of newly discovered evidence material to
the issue and TO the merits or the case"
Plaintiff brought an action against the defendant
Tor the recovery OF the value OF plano, and OH the
trial or the action established, by his own oath,
which was the only evidence on the subject his
ownership thereof ana that the defendant had be-
come possessed OF lt IN derOgat0n OF his title. The
defendant admitted that he purchased the property
from one Hayes who sod 1t to him as his own prop
erty.
Judgment was rendered for the plaintiff upon
Which an appeal was taken to the General Term OF
the Court, which has not been decided The applt-
cation IL made by the defendant, Macdun, IN which
he swears that since the trial OF the action he has
for the first time discovered that he might have
proved by Hayes that the piano was not In fact the
property OF the plaintn ut the time 1t was sold to
Inn.
The Court held that by the Legislature comforting
power to grant new trials makes IL the duty OF the
discovered evidence Is material to the issue and
merits OF the case; that 1t not being denied by the
plaintin, bnt that such testimony can IN fact be
procured, defendant has laid the foundation for the
exercise OF the power granted under the act; that
the rendering OF judgment by the Justice was no
bar to the motion; that the newly discovered evi.
much as the case Is founded upon plaintiffs claim
and defendants title TO recover III this action the
Legislature IN allowing new trials In this Court
aimed to prevent actual injustice and recoverieS
upon false and unreliable evidence. which power
should be literally but cautiously exercised; that
similar application II made to the Supreme Court
would be regular and In form. The motion shoald
be granted Judgment set aside and proceeding OF
