\ 2 FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Wennaspar, July 19-6 P. M. ‘The stock market was a shade better at the first board this morning than at the second board .yesterday. New York Central closed 3; higher, Erie 34, Reading %, Mich- igan Southern 3, Cleveland and Pittsburg 3g, Northwest- ern %, Fort Wayne 3, Cumberland 34. Government securities were dull, but steady. At the open board at one o'clock the market was a fraction lower, ‘At the second board it was heavy. Erie was lower than at the first board, Reading 1, Michi- gan Southern }, Cleveland and Pittsburg 1%, North- western 9%, Rock Island 34, Fort Wayne %, Ohio and Mississippi certificates 34, Quicksilver 134, Cumberland 3g. Government securities continued heavy, Coupon ‘sixes of 1881 were 3g lower; five-twenties yere, steady. At the open board, at half-past three P. M., prices were without material alteration. New York Central closed at 93\4, Erie 81}, Michigan Southern 62%, Illinois Central 126, Rock Island 1043, Northwestern (b.8) 26, Fort Wayne (8.3) 9534, Cumberland 403%, QuickstIver 55. Tho gold market has been unsettled, under a false Tumor of the arrival of the Halifax steamer with higher quotations for five-twenties, It was also reported that the Treasury had sold about three hundred thousand dol- Jars of gold yesterday, and that a further sum had been similarly disposed of to-day, and that it was the intention of the Treasury to continue to dispose of its surplus gold in this manner, reserving only enough to pay the balance of this year’s interest on the gold bearing debt. The bulls in the gold market profess to be willieg to take all the gold the ‘Treasury is willing to sell them, in lots of five millions or more, at 150; but this is probably a mere boast, It is not unlikely that the Treasury will sell a portion of its daily receipts for customs duties, but how far this will affoct the gold market will depend upon the confidence of the bulls in the future course of gold. They are undoubtedly carrying a heavy load at present, but even under exaggerated reports of an Adverse character it is noticeable that the premium is slow to yield. ‘The difference between cash and regular sales early in thoday was 1-32 @ 1-16, but it afterwards in- creased to 34. Foreign exchange continues heavy, and low rates cur- rent operate strongly against the rise of the gold pre- mium. Five-twenties still continue to be remitted in preforonce to bankers’ bills, and although there is a risk involved in this, it temporarily operates to depress the rates of exchange. At the same time the condition of our foreign trade would indicate a considerable export of specie, in the absence of an equivalent export of seou- Titles. Gold opened at 1435, sold up to 143%, and then drooped to 14234, after which tt recovered to 14234, the price at balf-past five being 14234 a 5. Leading bankers asked 109 for their sixty days stor- ling, but sales were made second hand at 108%. The money market has been a little less active than yosterday, and there have been very few transactions at ‘over six per cent for loans at call. Apprehensions of a more active money market are not entirely dispelled, and. the absence of any statement of the condition of the pub- Lie debt on the part of the Treasury Department, and tho uncertainty felt with regard to its future policy, tend to increase them. Meanwhile it is well un- derstood that the necessities of the Treasury are urgent, and far in excess of the resources at its disposal, Tho question is, How does the Treasury propose to provide for its wants pending the meeting of Congress? and the peo- plo have a right to receive an answer, or at least to a periodical statement of the public debt, according to act of Congress. In suppressing this Mr. McCulloch committed a grave mistake. Tho toial exports from this port during the month of June were valued thus:— Bf ‘1864. 1865.

Fox and Wilson and Arbitrary Ar- rests—Developments in the Case, dic. The hearing in the Porter-Stover case was resumed yesterday before Justice Dodge, Mr. Gunning 8. Bed ford, Assistant District Attorney, appearing for the pro- secution. Mr. Graham appeared for the defendant, D. M. Porter. There was no public interest manifested in the examination—the bench, bar and the press being alone represented, with the exception of the acousedand the complainant. H. D. STOVER ON THE STAND. Cross-examined by Mr. Graham—Q Is this the paper which Mr, Porter gave you on the 9th of July, 1866, while you were yet in Fort Lefayette, and as set forth in your affidavit upon which you procured a civil order for his (Porter's) arrest? (Paper shown. to witness), A. That is a copy of the original paper he gave me; I copied it myself and compared it, and know it is correct. @ Was the agreement read to you at the time it was drawn out, and wero you satisfied with the representa- tions made therein? A. It was read to me, and I was satisfied with the representations; I don’t know that I was satisfled, Q Why wore you not satisfied? A. Idon’t know but I might have been; I don’t recollect now. ‘The agreement was then put in. ‘THE CONDITIONS UPON WHICH PORTRR UNDERTOOK 70 PRO- OURE STOVER’S RELKASK FROM FORT LAFAYETTE, ‘Four Lavaverte, June 9, 1864.

M. PORTER. Q@ Why did you give the draft for five thousand dol- Jars additional? A. Because it was my conviction if did not come down with the money I should be re- arrested by order of Messrs. Wilson and Fox. Q Did Porter ever tell you that Messrs. Fox and Wilson had legal power of themselves to cause your rearrest? A. He gave me to understand so, and as near as I can recollect he toid me so—that they could issug orders, signed by the Secretary, to arrest any one; it was put to me in that shape, and Porter told me the game in other wo! & ‘Did you understand it was from their influence with the Secretary of the Navy that thoy could get an order for your rearrest—did you get that impression from. Porter? A. I got the impression from him that they could have me rearrested in their own name; I saw ‘Wilson about that time in Porter’s office; that was be- tween the Sth and the latter part of July; I met him by Porter's appointment, but for no particular purpose that T understood at that time; I was then from tlve to twenty days out of the fort, fou were discharged on the 4th of July; was not the appointment to meet Wilson at Porter's office made the evening of the day of your release? A. It might have been. Q Was not the object of that meeting to allay any fear that you had of Wilson’s rearresting you? A. peeing the Kind; nor did Wilson, to my recollection, state it round for alarm as to being rearrested. Qe er, in the presence of Wilson, give you that assurance? A. Not that I recollect; not think ear as I re- sharge rey +6 nd thi hg tae ‘against me, and that they wishe me to kuow them better; I was not in Wilson’s presence more than five minutes; if Porter had an object in bring- aout the interview, I had and I know nothing of his; did not see Wilzon again till somo time in Sep- @. Did you feel friendly towards Wilson when you met him at Porter’s office, knowing, as you say, that he wanted money asa condition to refrain from causing your reartest? A. 1 cannot say that I hada friendly fecling towards him under the cireumatance. Q Did you,'on the Weed and Opdyke trial, swear to this as to the mode in which you were imprisoned by Colonel Baker in the tort, and the strat he resorted to to imprision you there} A. Yes, sir; Iwas told that I ‘was not going “2 the fort; after I arrived at the fort, the next week, Mr. Sedgwick came to see me, and said that he had my release in his hand, on Satu ; Thad been there just a weck on that day; he (Sedgwick) said that er went back and told Fox the very wi Teaid in rey to him, and which I nover said, for I never sani a word against Fox amd Wilson in my life; he said he was coming on the Saturday night, but was gent for by Mr. Fox and_the order for my rel taken away from him, because I said hard th.ngs against Mr. Fox in regard to the investigation before the Naval Commitice, Q Did you state this? A. Yes; I was told I was not going to the fort; that is what J stated in substance. Q. What did you say in regard to Mr. Sedgwick going to Mr. Cheever and collecting $9,000 to pay some govern- ment offic'al to help to get you all right? A. At the ume I told that story I did not consider myself under oath; the Judge gave me half an hour to tell my story through, and I did not consider myself under oath at that time, but I might have been, perhaps I was not particu. lar ob every point; Sedgwick got in al! about $9,000, but not all from Cheever; Sedgwick had been more than te by me be‘ore he came tosce me at the fort; he had considerably overpaid—from $4,000 to $7,000 per- haps overpaid; having taken the money from Mr. Cheever he never came to the fort again to see me. @ Do you consider that he swindled you? A, Lleave that to the public to judge; he has got some of my money in his ds; he said I would be releaved from the fort. Q At whose sugsestion did you employ Mesers, Brown: ing & Hill? A. Some of my iriends in Washington om- ployed them; { think Mr. Farwell suggested Mr. Brown- ing, and Mies Howard had something to do with it; $500 was paid as aretaining fee, and that all was ever paid to my knowledge. 9 Was Mr. Browning mentioned as one having espe- celal influence with any one in the departments at Wach- ington? A, Not at thattime; but I heard he was a man of influence with al? parties, and subsequently heard that he was formerly connected in business with the late President ; Miss Howard wrote to me that I would be re- leased in @ very few days. Q Did she say anything of having svcared the right sort of men—men whose influence would not fail? A, She might have eaid go; sho said that as soon as the re- cord was read by the proper authorities the release was given, Q Did you understand from her that some trresistible influence was used to secure your release? A. Nothing but the record, which, when it was examined, I was released. @ Are you not under the impression at this moment a large sum will bo exacted, and which you will to pay up asa condition of your discharge from Fort Lafayeitey A. No heavy amount, to my knowledge. Q. Will you pay ten thousand dollars if exacted? A._No; I don’t know yet what leseer sum I will py 1 will perform no agreement that is exorbitant; but I don’t expect that an exorbitant charge will be made by those Ce Miss Howard paid them a retaining fee of ve hundred dollars; I mean to sottle with those gentle- men fairly and squarely. Q. According 10 whatever agreement was made in your behalf? A. That will depend upon circumstances. ‘The examination was then adjourned till Monday next at ten o'clock. Counterfeit Greenbacks.

To-day General Birge turned over the office to him, but the formal orders are not yet out, CHANGE OF TROOPS The One Hundred and Third United States colored troops, commanded by Major W. C. Manning, has been ordered to Fort Pulaski to do garrison duty. KRORO INSUBORDINATION PUNISHED. For some weeks there has been a growing disposition to insubordination among some of the more turbulent of the colored soldiera, The bad feeling oxisting at one time between ono or two colored regiments and one or two white ones encouraged this tendency. <A few days since a few soldiers of the most troublesome sort in the One Hundred and Third United States colored troops attempted to dictate a course of conduct to some of the officers, and, falling, undertook to mutiny. Their heads were promptly shaved. Yesterday another of the same class was ordered to be arrested for disorderly con- duct. He resisted arrest and used mutinous language to a lieutenant who proceeded to enforce the arrest, where- upon the officer drew a sabre on him, and the mutineer came very near having a cloven skull. As it was bis head wag badly out, and there are no further signs of mutiny.

UNDER STORM. On Thursday Some rp a week of intense heat, with the mercury up as high as one hundred and twenty de- grees in tho sun, a heavy shower occurred, with torrents of raiu, heavy thunder and vivid lightning. The ship Caravan was struck, but not much ge done to her. ‘The Marine Bank building was struck, but was so pro- tected by lightning rods as to suffer but little injury.

Officer McGuirk, of the Sixth precinct, was on trial on charge of ill-treating @ workwoman, named Kate Kal- lock, of No, 12 Ridge strect. ‘The complainant stated that she was returning from Jersey City, where she had een to eee some frionds in the evening, and thatas it was too lato for a stage, she walked up to Chatham street to get a oar; that while sho was standing there officer MoGuirk came up and ad- dressed. her, saying, “How goes things to-nightt!” She replied that the officer had mistaken ber character, but the latter answered that he could not always telt @ book by the cover, and then took hold of her and carried a black eye and inflicting other injuries; that she was taken to court the following morning and fined ton dol- lars and costa for disorderly conduct, which was the complaint the officer had made against her. Complain- ant offered written vouchers of her character from her present employers, and her own appoarance was that of ‘& respectable workwoman. OfMficor McGuirk stated ‘thas, on the night in question ho saw complainant stand- ing in Chatham street, talking with different men; that 9nd when be found story evidence. Smith, of the Sixteenth precinct, was oom- [peaprpetn pos for not arresting two men who, acoord- ing to evidence add , had a severe rough and tumble fight in his presence. Several witnesses swore to his being on the ground during the fracas, One of them, named Jacob Zimmerman, said ho boarded at the Brevoort boarding house in Bighteenth street. President Acton—You keep the Brovoort House, on Fifth avenue, do you? ‘Witness—No, sir; that house is too common for me; I weep, one in Eighteenth street. tizen Zimmermag said he saw officer Smith very close to both the eae J and asked him to arrest thom, which he would not do. ‘Smith said he did not see the men clinched, and after they got up, not knowing which party was the aggressor, he could make no arrests. President Acton informed him that It was his duty to have arrested both of the parties engaged in the fight, and admonished him to remember that in the future. Citizen apart of bagerd eres ae ave- nue, charged officer Dooley, the Thirtict pence with frequenting 1r houses and playing cards an dominoes in uniform ; that he visited one house in par- ticular, kept by Mr. opperman, in Tenth avenue, and there played for the drinks with citizen Labinski. Officer Dooley said the charge was one founded in malice; that some little timo since he arrested com- plainant’s brother, and that complainant had since then said he would take his shield off him if he could; that he bad been sick from the 20th of Juno to tho 6th of July, which includes tho time specified in the complaint, and consequently could not have becn on duty at that time; and further, that Police Surgeon McDonald had told him he must take moderate exercises while laid up and keep his mind unused ; that he did go into the place * alluded to and play a game of cards, but not in uniform. ‘This was the whole case, and as the charge did look some- thing like malice it was dismissed. Roundsman Green, of the Tenth precinct, was charged with arrosting a soldier unjustly and badly treating him, but the evidence was all in Green’s favor, and as usual with this officer when brought before the Board, he came off with flying colors. - ‘The last. caso was that of officcr Graff, of the Seven- teenth precinct, who was complained against by citizen Georgo Malloy, of 156 avenue C. Citizen Malloy statod that he gave a woman in charge to officer Graff, she hav- ing stolon from him a pair of pantatoons, and told the officer that he would go with bim to the station house and make a charge against her; that they walked along about twenty feet, when the officer let her go and would take her no farther. Officer Graff stated that the partics were man and wife, and that citizen Malloy wanted his wife arrested for stealing « pair of pants from him, and that ax soon ar ho (the officer) found out the relations the parties sustai to each other he let the woman go. Citizen Malloy was informed that it was no crime for the wife to take husband’s pants; but the latter said he did not live with her any moro, she being avagrent. President Acton then recommended him to get 1 divorce, vw which he replied he was in the midst of that trouble now. As the offloer atted right in the mat- ter the complaint was dismissed. \ Police Intelligence. BOLD STREET ROBBERY—ONE OF THE THIEVES i CAUGHT.
