The meteors were these:—At 9:03 P. M. a splendid white meteor, about one-quarter of the diameter of the moon, burst 10 deg north of Arcturus, eatended north bearing a bright day, 1 A.

On his arraignment he stated that he was intoxicated and committed the assault for a lark merely, He ‘was committed for trial on the charge of assault and battery. ATrempreD BuRGLARY.—Eetween eleven and twelve o'clock on Thursday evening George B, Leonard, an employé in the liquor store of Edward & R. Gamble & Co., No. 504 East Sixteenth street, heard a noise m the rear of the store, and, on mak ing investigations, discovered burglars at work. He gave the alarm, and they made their escape, with the exception of Patrick Handiey, who was found by otticer Mynam, of the Sixteenth precinct, secreted im the cellar. The burgiars had pried open the shntiers, but failed to effect an entrance. Handley was committed by Justice Ledwith, at Jefferson Market, on the charge of attempted burmary.

The complaint repre- sents that the defendant on the day named entered the up town establisument, 49 Sixth avenue, of which Frank Gorman bad the superintendence, and going behind the counter took out fourteen doliars in currency; after which he proceeded to the safe and abstracted flity-seven dollars from it, which he put tn his pocket. Frank Gorman also made an aMidavit, from which it appears that Mr. McDonough, “the litte,” as he is called, took the money in his presence and told him that hereafter he (Gorman) should work for him. ‘The defendant admitted that the money was taken, but declared it was lis own property. He consequen jeaded not guilty and gave ball to answer. The difMiculty has grown out of some transfer of tae property from the one to the other, McDonough, “ihe little,” took possession of the piace and still retains it, and the ownership of the premises from which the money, it is alleged, to have been stolen is still undecided. MAYOR'S OFFICE, = Business at the License Bureau yesterday was not very brisk; it was, in fact, almost spiritless, owing perhaps to the fact that all the spirits were congre- gated at the Tombs, The only case of interest was that of A CHARITADLE JERSEYMAN, named Abraham Holmes, from Shrewsbury, who loaned a young man seventy-five dollars to wina watch with, and lost it of course. Jersey is noted for its “flats” and Shrewsbury for its oysters, and Mr. Holm look like a J was evident: taken for a ‘flat," “and an roprietors of the bogus jewelry establishment No. 1 Broadway, learning, per! that Shrewsbury, thought he mi & good “oyster”? for them to ¢ a They dia eo, and h ab fore the Marshal's desk and thus rela oung man he came down after comme z ling envelopes out of a box, Well, he won some ttle Sia, and then he two more tickets, and be ae all bis money, or aimost all his money, and he knew ho pee @ sure thing on getting the watch, and Ilent him seventy-five dollars; but he lost, — kind o' thought maybe he belonged tothe Marshal Tooker—I shouldn't wonder, Do you i?

Pruvay, April 23—6 P. M. ‘The money market, which at the close yesterday under the apprehension of gold sales by the Trea- sury, had become active at the full legal rate of in- terest, underwent @ rather sudden change this after- noon, Durmg the earlier heurs there was @ con- tnued inquiry under the renewal of this apprehen- sion, and callloans were made at seven per cent. After two o'clock, however, it was found that the demand had been entirely satisfied and, large bal- ances could not be placed at any rate of interest and went over night unemployed. Tue reaction was also quite perceptible in commercial paper, which showed @ concession in discounting rates, prime double names, at four months, selling a8 low as eight per cent, ‘The range of rates was from this figure to eleven per cent, ‘The banks, in discounting more freely for their customers, have withdrawn the competition of a great many drawers, so that with the decline of the rates on call the demand 1s rather from buyers than from makers. The passage of dtatement day will algo enable the country banks to resume their favorite operation of purchasing paper for the sake of the margin between its discount and the market rate of interest, The government market was quiet and dull, with @ frm undertone, with very little fluctuation in prices throughout the day. The London price came 8034, which was maintained to the close of business, and exhibits a reactionary tendency in the foreign market. As this is Friday, the weekly meeting day of the Bank of England directors, it also shows that there has been no change in the rate of diacount, and: that all apprehension on the subject has paszed, ‘The following were the closing street quota- tions this evening:—United States sixes, 1881, regis tered, llia 1174 10., COUPON, 11734 @ 11754; do., five- twenties, registered, 112 a 1124; do. do., coupon, 1862, 12076 @ 1214s; do, do., coupon, 1864, 11614 a 11634; do, do., coupon, 1865, 118} a 11834; do. do., coupon, new, 1865, 115}f @ 1154; do. do., coupon, 1867, 115 a 11514; do. do., coupon, 1863, 116 a 11534; do., ten- forties, registered, 10524 a 108; do. do., coupon, 106 a 106}4; currency bonds, 101% a 104%.

As was expected late last night, when gold under- Went its sharp decline, the prime bankers put up their rates to-day to 108% for sixty days sterling bills. This figure is nominal, however, for large amounts could be purchased at 108}, while the un- settled and sensitive state of the gold market keeps buyers inactive. The following was the range of quotations:—Sterling 60 days, commercial, 107}¢ a 108; good to prime bankers’, 108}sa 108%; short sight, 1034 a 1094; Paris, 60 days, 5.26 a 5.20; short sight, 6.20 @ 6.1734; Antwerp, 5.25 @ 5.20; Switz- erland, 5.25 a 5.20; Hamburg, 353¢ @ 353s; Amster- dam, 39% a 40%; Frankfort, 401 a 40)¢; Bremen, 17% & 7834; Prussian thalers, 7034 a 71. Dealings in gold were feverish in consequence of the uncertain conditions attaching to the proposed sales of gold by the government. Under a rumor that the order had been countermanded the price advanced at one time to 133% ; but the following notice from Mr, Van Dyck, the Assistant Treasurer, put an end to the story:— By direction of the Secretary of the Treasury notice is hereby given that sealed proposals for the purchase of goid will be received at this office until noon of Thursday next, 29th inst., when the same will be opeued and the bids declared. Proposals will be received for sums not less than $5,000 and payment may be made either tn lawful money or Ubree per ceit certificates. Successful bidders will be required to deposit five per cent of the amount of the parchase on the bed of sale. Like proposals wiil be received on Thursday of each succeeding week until otherwise ordered. It will be observed that Mr. Boutwell does not specify what amount he is willing to sell. One re- port inthe Gold Room this afternoon stated that Mr. Boutwell had telegraphed, in answer to the in- quiry of Mr. Van Dyck, that the government reserved the right to sell any amount it saw fit, and would be guided by the character of the bids, The effect was a very feverish feeling in the gold market, and operators are sorely puzzled to know what to do. The original order was modified s0 as to sub- stitute the words “lawful money” for “greenbacks”’ in the equivalent for payment. This alteration so as to permitthe use of certified checks was, doubtless, one secret of the sudden transition of the money market to its easier condition this afternoon. range of the price of gold was as follows:— The Cash gold was in good demand up to Clearing House time, and rates for borrowing ranged from flat to 3-64 and 1-16. In the afternoon loans were generally made flat, The following is the report of the Gold Bank:— Gold cleared. Gold balances.

New York Central was very unsteady, fluctuating frequently between the limits of 167 and 16834, under the pressure of a struggle between two of the great cliques of the street. Pacific Mail recovered over one per cent, as compared with yes- terday, and a prominent clique are also said to have taken hold of it for a “bull” movement. The feature was Fort Wayne, which suddenly went up to 1534. It is supposed to be in the hands of the Erie clique and Mrgely “cornered.” Ae the Erie party are anxious for an outlet to Chicago they may yet com- pel the three-fourths of the directors continued in office by legislation to endorse the project of a third ratl between Galion or Crestline and Chicago.
