2 NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1864. a — FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, nainiainenanentll Sarcepay, Nov. 19—6 F. M. The gold market has been very feverish to-day. It opened weak, but gradually gained strength, and rose seven per cent, which advance it subse- quently lost and ga ed again, and then lost for the second time, finally closing at the opening quotation, as the following will show:— 10:00 A. M. . 218 62:35 P.M. 10:40 A.M..... 217% R20 P.M. 1135 A M. X 3:45 P.M... 12:40 P. M. 29% 4.05 PM. 145) M. 218% 5.00 PM. —With such rapid fluctuations in the price of the standard of values, the great question of every day life may well be ‘What is the price of gold?” Rumor has been leas busy to-day than usual with regard to Sherman’s move- ments, although speculation and curiosity onthe subject gfe active. The report that com- missioners are or were to be appointed to proceed to Richmond to offer terms of peace to the rebels is contradicted from Washington by one authority and reiterated by another, An amnesty proclamation will, however, it is said, be issued in the course of a few weeks. The stock market showed improvement upon the closing prices of last night previous to and at the opening of the first board this morning; but after the call it was dull and heavy, a downward tendency betng imparted to it by the failure of the gold market to sustain the advaace which had pre- viously taken place. The closing sales as compared with those at yes- terday’s second board showed the following varia- tions:—Erie declined 4, Hudson River advanced 44, Reading 1%, Michigan Southern], Michigan Central 14, Illinois Central 144, Cleveland a Pittsburg 144, Chicago and Northwestern %, pre- ferred 1, Chicago and Rock Island 2%, Fort Wayne 2%, Olio and Mississippi certificates 174, Cumberland Coal 1%. New York Central, Bur- lington and Quincy and Mariposa were steady. Government securities wore active and steady. Coupon five-twenties sold at 103%, a 104, new issu. 10394 4 %, coupon sixesof 1881 110 4%, one year certificates 96}, upon ten-forties 96 a 24,7 3-10 Treasury notes 112 a 115. Railroad bonds were quict, and State and bank stocks neglected. At the open board, at one o'clock, the market was lower, and afterwards, on the street, it con- tinued heavy. There was no second session of the regular or open board, as usual on Saturday. The money market remains quiet and easy at seven per cent on call, with good collaterals. This rate is likely to be maintained, notwithstanding the limited demand from the Stock Exchange, so long as compound interest notes are out and certificates of indebtedness offer a reasonable profit to their purchasers. Only a small portion of the former are in active circulation, and this accounts to some extent for the high rate of interest being maintained under the light demand. While bankers and private capitalists can make compound interest on their money by holding these notes till their maturity, it is not surprising that their loanable funds should be comparatively limited to what they otherwise would be. In the discount line there is no change to note. The quantity of first class paper offering is small, and the rate varies from eight to eleven per cent. Foreign exchange has been dail at 1094 a % for bankers’ bills at sixty days, and 110% at three days, for sterling, in gold. Franes are quoted at 5.9@5.14. The shipments of specie amounted to $1,238,165—of which the City of Baltimore took $904,092, the America, $324,073, and the Pennsyl vania, $155,000. Including $150,000 taken by the Persia, and $5,000 by the Liberty, for Havana, this makes a total for the week of $1,548,165. Among the new issues of fractional currency will be one of the denomination of three eents.

The immense quanti Western Louisiana and in the interior of Texas, which General Banks failed to reach last spring, is being rapidly sent over the border into Mexico.

Continuation and Conclusion of the Hearing—Motion te Discharge Patter- son Denied—Justice Dowling Commits the Prisoners Without Bail—I'ne P. cipal Witne 1s Also Committed. The bearing in the case of Walter Patterson, Michael O’Briea and Ira Garadier alias Garside, charged with de. fraudiog the Bank of Cemmerce out of $25,000 and up- warcs by mesnso!a forged check, besides being cov- cerned in the commission of numerous othor forgeries in Uhis city and elsewhere, was jcontinued before Justice Dowling atthe Tombs Police Court yesterday morning ut ten o'clock. At the time announced for the iuvestiga- tion to proceed, the court room was filled wiih merchants, bankers, citizens, police officers, law- yers, &c., all of whom watched the progress of tbe case with dee interest, The prisoners being brought from their cells, C.S, Spencer, Esq., counsel for Pattor- gon, moved for bis discharge, on the ground that thero had Leen no testimony produced by the prosecution con- necting bim with the forgeries, exvept the evidence of an accomplice, who bad not been corroborated in any im- Portant particular, Mr. Spencer made an elaborate argu- ment in support gf the position he took, at the conclusion of which ex-Jutge Stuart, associate counsel for Patter. sou and the otber defendants, cited several rules of law governing the case, and argued at considerabie length on the danger of hol ling Patterson for trial on ttc unsup. ported testimony ef un accomplice He was followed by Assigtant District At- torney Stowart, who sald it was unnecessary for him to review the evidence elicited during the exami nation, and contended that if the magistrate found tuere was probable cauge to mugpect the prisoners to be guilty of the crime as charged, it would be bis duty to poid them for indictment by the Grand Jury and subsequent trial, Mr. Stewart further argued that the only question for the magistrate to pass upon was the probable cause to suspect that a crime had been committed, sad if so, by the prisoners, it was bis boundea dacy to commit them to awuit the action of the Grand Jur The District Attorvey said that the witness, Coughlin, had been corroborated in ali the material points, that the fact of ail (he parties meeting ate billiard suloon in Fourth avewue aud there writing # letter; that the Subsequent forging of & check at the Coliias Hotel, were corroborating circumstances entitled to cou Bideration with tho Court, Br. Stewart did not think there was any ove who had listened to the proceed- ings but what believed tho prisoners to be guilty of the crime charged against them, and closed with a poweriul Appeal to tue mayistrate to bold Patiersou for tral. air. Spencer replied that the priocipal witness tad not been corroborated according to the requiremenis of law, And urged that tt would be establishing a dun.ero precedent to commit Patterson on the yery slight evi- dence brought forward by the prosecution. Mr. Speucer said it must first be shown that a crime has been com- mitted, the loiter ond check sbow that, as iso co the gentlemen who cams forward to testity to the forgery; Dut (says the counsel) the testimony does not conaect Patterson with the forgery, After the arguments bad closed Justice Dowling at once denied the motion to dis- charge Patterson, It was stated in couri that latterson urged his counsel not to for bis discharge lest he 70% | the necessity of prompt should be rearrested and taken to Philadephia, oF © wuere, to auswer other charges.» THE DEFENCE.

GENEROUS POPULAR TRIBUTE TO OUR HEROIC ARMY AND NAVY—LARGE CONTRIBUTIONS FKOM THE EMrINK CITY, BTC. Since the commencement of th» rebellion and through the darkest days of the war New York bas never ceased to encourage and support the army in its noble efforts to re-establish the Uniou and uphold the constitution and laws, At seasons like the present, when (ne war-worn veterans who have wituetood the tempest of batile oo mavy bloody fleids turn their thoughts (rom the camp to their peaceful homes, it must be gratifying to them to know that they have not been forgotten by their tel low citizens at bome, and as they sit down to their Tuankegiving dinner on next Thursday they wiil ba solid proof before them of the gratitude of the iby und patriotic citizeus of this metropolis. A short time since a few prominent citizens set on foot A movement for furvisuing of s Thanksgiving diaver for the soldiers and sailors of the Army of the I’stomac, aod a preliminary meeting was beid at tue Astor Houte at which initiatory steps were taken for ioauzurating the movement, which, under tbe able managemeut of the committer, bas been more successul thas, the m et Sanguine avticipation of its projectors Protwiaent amoug the gentlemen who exerted tuemseives to benul! of tue soldiers was Mr. Postmaster James Kelly, Theodore Roosevelt, Exq., @nd a number of other wealthy und public epirited men, who always to be found ‘ore. most iD every work of patriotic beuewvience which ap. peuis to the uaseliish generosity of this community. ‘The large warehouse of Siessrs.

On Thareday the steamer James T. Brady, which bas been placed at the disposal of the commitice by her owners, the Messrs, Leary, was doepatched to the James river Sect with (he contributions for the satjors’ dinner, and after delivering her vaiuable cargo, wuich consisted of several thousand barreis of apples, preserved fruits and other delicacies, besides an immeuse supply of poultry, chiefly curkeys, cuickens and otner domestic fowls, pies, puddings and pastry ad libitum, ene wil re- turn to New York, to take to the army what freight may have beon received at the depot yesterday evening uad She will be at pier No. 4 North river this morn- fog, for the purpose of receiving freigut, aud will ctart on her generous mission on stonday.
