The Indictments Against City Officials and Ex-Officials. COURT OF OYER AND TERMINER. Before Hon. Judge Mullin. Nov. 11.—In the Matter of the Indicted Officials.—The Court of Oyer and Terminer was thronged this morning with the indicted officials, their friends, numerous counsel and others interested in the case, Counse) for Alderman Franklin, one of the indicted, called upon tho District Attorney to enter a nolle prosequi in respect to him, he not having been present in the Board when the resolution in question was passed, and not hav- ‘voted for it. e District Attorney deemed it his duty, in that view of the case, to enter a nolle prosequi in respect to Mr. Franklin, on the fling of an ‘afdawit,, stating the fact of his not hiving voted tor the resolution. The same course was also to be taken in respect to Isaac O. Hunt, George W. Warner, George M. Steers, and two or three rs. In the course of the colloquy on the subject, Phe was stated by counsel that these mistakes arose from the ha. bit of the Cleri of te Common Council entering as voting a ative all who do not vote in the negative. akey Hall opened the argument to quash the inaictment on the ground of the irregularities of the re- cord, He iusisted on the irresponsibility of his clients from the cause in the charter of 1357, which says that a member shall not be questioned in any place for his you or speech in either Board. He also contended that the indictment was erroneous in designating the instrument by which the land was conveyed to the Catholic Orphan Asylum: as a lease. He contended that the indictment in its scope charges the Common Council with violating and evading a charter provision by @ vote. It is true the first count aims to charge a conspiracy to violate, but it goes on to plead the pertected act agreed opon, that there is a merger of the combination in the act. It is still the vote which is complained of. By section 8 of the charter, ‘no Alderman or Councilman shall be questioned in any other place for any speech or vote.” The design of the privilege as to speech was to secure perfect freedom in the action of the people’s servants. The resolution voted for, if it con stituted an indictable matter, does not direct a lease of the public property. It contemplates the a base or qu last forev , but the purity of the donation is d ‘so long as it shall be occup : But even if the resoiution contemplated a lease (With a reversion, with a conveyance of tate than the granter had), it was not nec Jeage than ten years. There is nothing to sh asylum might not cease to exist in nine y The Counsel for the Corporation, in behalf of Me.

The news, as a whole, is not calculated to promote speculation on this side the water. Cotton and breadstuffs are both lower, with a downward tend and provisions are very dull indeed. The funds are % a \ lower, cloeing on 30th at 9834 a 98\; the French Rentes are reported dull at 73, both for money and account, The Bank of England had not reduced the rate of inter as gold was beginning to flow freely to the Continent, and there was a fair prospect of large ship ments of silver to the East. A sum of $240,000 was sent in gold from the Bank to Paris on the 30th, and the steamer of the 4th wae to take $500,000 in silver, the price of which bad risen in consequence.

The contrary character of the news had a tendency to discourage operations, and while, on the one hand, several prominent bears closed their con- tracts to-day, on the other, the commission brokers report that their orders to sell were rather liberal, State stocks were rather dull; Missouris were 4; lower; Virginias, North Carolinas and Tennessees steady without change of price. The business done in bonds was very light; La Crosse land grants were the only description which advanced. Bank shares were in less re- quest. Railroad stocks were very injuriously affected ‘by the reports of earnings in November, It is said that on many of the Western lines, and on the New York Central and Erie, the earnings for November are worse even than those of October and September. On some of the roads the business is not paying expenses. Galena suffered more severely than other descriptions this morn- ing; at one time the decline was equal to 2 per cent from the current price yesterday morning; it rallied, however, in the afternoon, and closed within 34 of the closing price yesterday. The other Western roads sym- pathized: Michigan Central declined %; Rock Island, Toledo, 3;; Mlinois Central, 234. New York Central was lower before the first board, in consequence, it is said, offurther rumors with regard to the plan to be adopted by the Legislature for tolling the road at the coming ses- sion, When the session commenced the shorts came as buyers, and the stock rallied 34 a 14: It fel! off afterwards in the afternoon and closed weak, Erie was steady. Hodson River declined 34; Reading, 34 per cent. We note transactions in the stock of American Guano Com- Pany at 10. This company owns the well known guauo islands called Jarves Islands, and has constructed on one of them a railroad, wharves, buildings, &. It has now on the way to this port five thousand tons of guano. Panama was steady; Pacific Mail fell off to 10334 after the second board. We presume that there can be no difficulty about a 14 per cent divi- dend; however, the matter will be decided in a few days. ‘The closing prices, as reported by Kowalski, were as follows :—-Missouris, 897% a 90.
