-— FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, Tvxspay, Oct: 31-6 P. M. fhe inclemency of the weather, together with the European news, exerted a rather depressing effect upon the stock market to-day; but, notwithstanding, the volume of business was very large, while the advancing tendency of prices was well maintained. At the first session of the open board Erie closed at 9234, New York Central 9934, Northwestern 31%, pre- ferred 673s, Fort Wayne 106, Michigan Southern 644, Cleveland and Pittsburg 8234. At the first reguiar board there were conflicting opinions evident regarding the effect of the death of Lord Palmerston upon the affairs of this country, and a dispo- sition was shown to hammer tho New York roads, which they resisted with great firmness. The rumor of an ar- rangement between the Atlantic and Great Western and the Morris and Essex and other roads leading to Corry, Pa, was revived, und asale of the latter stock, which ‘was quoted at 80 less than a fortnight ago, was made at par. Government securities were heavy under the quo- tation of 033 a 64 for five-twenties in London. It must, however, bo remembered that this was ex-November coupon. Coupon five-twenties declined 3, new issue 3s. Seven-thirty notes were steady. New York Central closed 4¢ highor than at the second board yesterday, Fort Wayne 4, Prarie du Chien 1, Northwestern common 234. Tho latter was im strong demand in anticipation of the two years’ report to be published to-morrow, which is known to be favorable, Erie closed 34 lower, Reading 4%, Michigan Southern 3{, Cleveland and Pittsburg %, Northwestern proferred 3, Rock Island }{, Ohio and Mississippi certificates 34. Quicksilver was unchanged. Atlantic Mail sold at 154. 153}. Atter the call thore ‘was a brisk demaud for all the leading stocks, and North- ‘westorn rose to 3434. At the open board at one o'clock the market was a fraction lower, aud there was a large amount of cash stock sold, At the second regular board it was firm and active, the extreme Western roads being the leading favorites. Prairie du Chien closed 27% higher than at the first board, Northwestern 3, Ohio and Mississippi cer- Quicksilver 133. New York Central was % lower, Erie 3{, Hudson River 34, Reading 3%, Michi- gan Southern 7, Ilinois Central 1, Cleveland and Pitts- burg 34, Northwestern preferred 34, Rock Island 34, Fort Wayne 1. Government gold bearing bonds continued heayy, and coupon five-twenties of both issues experienced a further decline of 34. At the open board at half-past three there was a fractional advance upon a porton of the list, the remainder boing steady, New York Central sold at 69%, Erie 9134, Reading 11534, Michigan Southern 73%, Rock Island 109, Northwestern 3434, Fort Wayne 105%, Illinois Central 137, Cleveland and Pittsburg 8234. Afterwards, on tho street, the mar- ket was firm. ‘There was a good demand for money from the Stock Exchange, but, owing to the increasing svpply at this centre, consequent upon the return flow from the ‘West and East, the market developod considera- ble ease. The rate, however, is strictly seven per cent, unless in an exceptional case whero a balance was lent at six to be re-lent by the borrower at the legal rate. There was no distrust shown by lenders in consequence of the disturbance of monetary affairs in England by the report that a peremptory demand in relation to Mexico had been addressed by Mr, Seward to the French government, as it was genorally dis ecredit;d, and the depression of securities owing to this cause, as also to the death of the Premier, was regarded as only temporary. This correct view of the case was strengthened Iate in the afternoon by the news by the Damascus quoting an im- provement in London on the 20th inst. of 3¢ per cent in five-twenties, #{ in Erie, 14 3¢ in Illinois Central and 3 a 34 from the lowest point tonehed in consols; also announcing that the bullion in the Bank of England had increased £54,000, which Jast shows that the tide has turned {n favor of the bank. ‘The pressure for discounts in the London money market has subsided, and transac- tions at five and six per cent, outside of the “Old Lady of Threadneedle street,” were nuucrous, and this po nis to a probable reduction of tho bank rate before long. ‘The discount line conti active, but the demand is better responded to by buyers. The best grade of com- mercial paper is quoted at 7 o 9, but about as many transactions take placo at higher figures as at these, |The gold market showed greater firmnoss under the transatlantic advices, The opening price was 146, fol- lowed by a decline to 14574, and an advance to 146% a 14634, at which it stood at the close of business ‘The foreign exchange market sympathized slightly with the causes affecting gold. The demand, however, did not perceptibly improve. Bankers’ bills at sixty dayson London wore quoted at 108% a 7%. Somo of the loading drawers, however, ask 109. Petroleum stocks were irregular at tho firet board, Pit- hole Creck being the most active at a decline of 60c, from the point reached at the close of yesterday's first board. United States was 55c. lower, Benuehoff Run 150. At the second public board Buchanan Farm closed at 80c., Bracloy $1 15, Cherry Run 26c., Execlaior 5c. Empire City 39¢., German‘a 4lc., Pithoie Creek $10 90, Wobster (b. 20) $1 20, It has hitherto been the custorn of the stock brokers to receive in payment from each other, for stocks delivered, certified checks upon all the city banks indiscriminately ; but owing to the number of pew banks not belonging to the Clearing House Asvociat which bave recently sprung into existence under the national eystem, it has been found desirable for the sake of convenionce and facility in the transaction of the business of the Clearing House banks, at which nearly all the brokers keep their accounts, to refuse all certified checks not drawn upon such, and a regulation to that effect has just been adopted by the Stuck Exchange. The effect will, of course, be to confine the business of the Stock Ex to the fifty. eight associated banks, which wre named as follows, tn the ordor of their seniority of membership:— BN.

The Complaints Against the Washing- ton-Greonwich Streets Railroad. The Committee on Raiipoads of the Board of Council- mon met yesterday, Councilman McGrath in the chair. The following is the gist of the opinion sent to the committee by the Counsei to the Corporation. ‘The Legis!ature in 1860 granted permission to lay, con- struct and operate a railroad through the Ninth avenue, Gansevoort and Washington etroets, Battery place aud Grocnwich and that if the parties who laid down the rails m qrestion be the parties mentioned in the act, he (t he counse!) does not seo how, under the decision of the Courtof Appeals, given ina similar cuxe, the Com- mon Council can in any way interfere with the tracks, The — being read to the parties who assembled before the committee, one of them stated that the opin- fon was probably confined to tracks that are usd, and that the Corporation have the power to all tracks thatare only obstructions to the publi |. These Ines were legalized for a purpose, and, that purpose not Lavine been ecarsied out, the Corporation ought to re- move th Another stated that these tracks destroy the grades of the streets in which they are, and injure ail vehicles that cross them or chance to get into them. The Common Council therefore have the power to remove them as nuisances. Councilman Green snggested that the Leg'slature be petitioned on the subject, as the most ccrluin and rapid remedy. A Piorenty Owsen repliod that this was unnecessary if the Common Council have the power to order the grade to be perfected or the tracks removed. The Common Co neil have the power to perfect the grado, and ask the Logislature by a reeolntion to remove the trucks, and he believed it would be done, The Crammay stated that the committee would report all the fasts to the Board. Another Prorerty Owner stated that he considered neither the Legislature nor the Corporation bave power to create or perpetuate a nuisance, No one appoared on behalf of the railreads, One of the Prorkeatr Ownrna eaid that the opinion of the Corporation Counsel did not touch the real point at isewe al ali—whether the Corporation have the right to nused tracks as nuisances. AMMAN said if the tracks are nuieances the £treet Comm’esioner has the power to remove theta, The Commutice then adjourned. Police Intelligence. ALLEGED THEFT OF A SLOO?. Captam William J. Babcock, residing at 223 Bay strect, Jersey City, yesterday appeared before Justice Dodge and lodged a complaint against Joseph Dufly and Ja:nes Shaughnossy, charging them with stealing a sloop from him valued at $1,000.

Gerolipi was subsequently arrested by officer Dowdell, of the Tombs Police Court, and Justice Hogan required him to give bail in the sum of $500 to answer before the Court of General Sessions, ————— The Liability of Bail. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS, Before Judge Barnard. Our readers will remember @ suit brought some time ago by Julla Colwell against Charles Schenck, a sca cap- tain, whom she charged with a rape committed on board his ship, and against whom she obtained a verdict of five thousand dollars. The defendant gave bail in one thou- sand dollars to stand the trial.

Six Million Dollars Abatement in the Forthcoming Tax Budget. SOMETHING LIKE A REAL REFORM. &e, &e. &ec. Our Special Albany Despatch. Ausary, Oot. 31, 1865, Governor Fenton leaves here to-day for his home in the western part of the State, going by way of New York clty and the Erie road. He will remain a day or two at the Astor House to attond to some New York matters. I learn upon entirely reliable authority ‘that the re- maining charges against your municipal authorities, cer- tainly as far as Comptroller Brennan is concerned, will be dismissed, as in the action taken with regard to the other or street cleaning matter. Not only has there been “no sufficient proof” adduced, but the refusal of Herrick and the other parties making the charges to sus- tain themselves by even the mere courtesy of an appear- ance before the Governor, indicates not only the obvious end but the original aim of the whole affair, The law- yers concerned have had clients—or ‘rather thoy have had fees—and those persons retained upon the pay list of the Citizens’ Association havo had some excuse for using up whatever funds there were on hand in that concern. This was the immediate aim. The practical battle of reform will come off in another connection, and will derive its impulse from a different influence altogether. The reduction of taxation in New York city has had its principal obstruction in the bogus proceedings and knavish designs practised in the name of reform. A comparigon of tho yearly tax levies shows that the aim of the bogus reformers has been to pile up ‘an increase of millions upon millions. Their game is now played out. The pressure of abuse and personality will find an abortive end in the decision of Governor Fenton. His patience and sagacity have been the theme of unanimous commendation 1n this whole matter, while his course in evading the selfish pressure of partisan greed deserves the credit of some marked acknowledg- ment. Perhaps the very best tribute which the Governor's course could have will be paid to him in the forthcoming budget of Comptroller Brennan, presenting an estimate for the coming year reducing the gross sum,below that of Jast year some five or six millions of dollars. - Exclusive of the interest upon the war and funded debtsof the city, I am assured that this badget will be less than eight or nine millions of dollars, which, in comparison with tt seventeen millions of the current year, will make rather notable reduction. Of course the Comptroller's ‘budget will not be law until the Legislature passes upon it, and the great danger will have to be provided inst of having itsmanagement in Albany fall into the hands of the Municipal Reform Association, whose covert col- lusion with the republican corruptionists of the lobby has swollen the levy cach year here since 1863. ‘The proposed reductions and economies do not refer exclusiv<ly to the Corporation departments, but include also the special commissions without distinction. All the sinecures and snuggeries of the city and county government, such as the Bureau for the Collection of Assessments, the fecs and commissions allowed by the Supervisors, the fat things of the Excise, Fire and Unsafe Building Commissions, tho’ Corporation Attorney, Public ‘Administrator, the pollce und ward courts, the Surrogate, Register, County Clerk aud Sherift’s offices; the Pol'ce, Alimslodse and Park Commissions, and, in short, all m Itiplied ramifications of the six municipalites of New York will be morcilessly presented in this schedule. Already the news of this proposed overhaul- ing has leaked out, and the greatest consternation pre- vails in certain q carters. Iaseure you that the greatest joke of the political season wili soon be distinctly visible ‘with the naked eye. The heavy counsellors and hungry attaches of the Citizens’ Assocation each has one or mor? friends and dummies snugly hid away in‘one or the othor of these dusty old holes, and when the Comp- troller beging to rou’ t!.cm out with tho sharp stick and short commons of his new budget there will be such a howling and squalling as has not bocn heard in New York wince th» abolition of Fernando Wood's old police. Then ‘ou will kee the so-call d reformers laboring to induce Gomptrolt r Drennan to inurense his tax lovy, Just as they aro now soerctly working to induce Governor Fenton to withbold-his decision on their trumped up charges, until they can forco the Comptrotlor to relinquish h:s reform ideas and adopt the old schedul 8. It will be important to remember in this connection that the Court of Appralx has just decided in favor of Comptroller Brennan in a case whch he carried up, that tho want of suiticient appropr ation isa bar to any’ d:bt to be incurred a ainst the city by the departments or ‘This cuts off the entire bus ness of get ente, except under the provisions of the reg Taking a glance back at the mai e been broug! issue, where they will have been fairly aud fully tigaied, and then real zing the position of independenc> and the fall warrant whieh the proceedings will give for tho Comptrolier's wholesale juction of that hopeless tax levy, the real design of those who, independently of the bogus Citizens’ Axsociation, have | rged on the inves- tigatien, will be understood and properly appreciated. P. $.—Owing to the postponement of the military re- view in New York, which Governor Fenton was toattend, his visit will be deferred, and he did not go down to New York to-day as he intended. Tho Navy. A PRACTICE FLEET SUGGESTED. Tt is urgod by many of our naval commanders—the conviction forced on them by their experience in the late war—that somo suitable point should be solected where a ficet of naval vessels should bo assembled for practice and instruction, fleet manoeuvres, practice at mark while mm motion, &c, This system hos been in use in all the European pavies for years past, and has been viewed as one of the most salutary schools for the acquisition of paval instruction extant. It is urged that many of our naval officers grow inactive for the very want of some- thing to do, and the knowledge they acquired on one cruise Is nearly forgotten before they begin another; so tha* the general rale is that our officers are “rusty’’ com- pared with thoso of other nationalities. It is suggested ‘that Hampton Roads affords s \table accommodations for tho flect surgested, as the great depth and area of waier would enable veskels of the greatest draught to ma- neuvre with perfoct safety. We believe it is the inten- tion of the Navy Department, at all events, to designate Hampton Roads ns the depot for all outward bound vessels for foreiyn stations. NEW NAVAL STORERREPER.
