Mr. Tobey—I was iu the office at eleven A. M., when Miller said he would not act hastily, and also three hourg after, when he came with the receiver. To Mr. Babeock—I attribute our misturtune to too loose expenditure and internal strife in the directory ; I have no doubt the requisite amount would have been put up to put ‘the company on a sound footing. 1ckies sworn—I was a director of the Farmers and Mechanics’ Life in the new board; was one of the stockhold- ers of the Peabody ; capital was ‘not paid in.

Yesterday was the return day of the order to show cause why the Bowling Green Savings Bank should not be agjudicated an involuntary bankrupt on the petition of Aaron May, depositor.

In a few moments Cragin and his companion, tiring of “chin music,” as they expressed it, pitched into the other two and beat them most unmercifully, Cragin attempting the while to rob Bain of his watch @nd money.

A Forced Marringe und a Discarded Hus- bi One of the most curious cases ever developed in a Police Court was brought to the notice of Judge Scott, ai Essex Market, yesterday. A man named Julius Petrokowski,, @ professor of music, living at 806 East Twenty-fifth street, was charged with ab- ducting a young lady by her parents, In Investi- gating the case it was discovered that the girl, who is a beautifal and most ethereal Polish Dionde, about eighteen years of age, was forced against her will to marry ® young man of her own race, named Antonio Silskowski, Antonio anc the young lady, who bears the euphonious cog- nomen of Bvontstawa Pzybyiska, were joined together in matrimony in ‘Transtiguration rebureh, on the loth of this month, During the performance of the ceremony Byon- istawa fainted and she was taken to ber nusbana’s home, 98 Bayard sirect, almost Insensibie. soon after her arrival the unwilling bride suddenly jumped and made an attack on her quonaam spouse with @ sttletto, when he attempted to embrace her, and ran out of the wouse, She made her way toa {rtend’s domicile, Mr. Julius Petrokowski, and there remainea till ednesday, In the meantime the husband went to his mother-in. and made his complaint; hence the action against the music professor for abduction. sudge Scott in- formed the mother and the girl’s stepfather, Julius Gorski, that he could do nothing in the matter, as the yonng lady was old enough to decide tor her- seif where she should live. He also asked why the husband did not appear in the case, as he was to all intents and porposes most directly interested, Antonio Silskowski, the discarded hnsbard, sat ia the back part of tie court room, but dia hot ap- proach the Judge's seat, ‘he case was accordingly dismiased, Ae es SUICIDE BY HANGING, Yesterday afiernoon Jacob Moever, a German, fifty-two yoars of age, was found hanging to a rafter in the attic of bis premises, 286 Sianton street, by means of a rope which he had securea for the pur- pose, ‘The body was oid Wien discovered and cut down, and life evidentiy had veen extinct for some time.

THE COTTON MOVEMENT. The receipts of cotton at all the ports for the past week were 88,966 bales, against 86,236 ine previous week, The total receipis since September 1, 1871, are 2,091,196 bales, against 2,653,339 for correspond- ing period of the previous year, showing a decrease im the present crop of 563,143 bales, The exports from all ports jor the week were 76,459 bales, against 75,185 bales for the same week last year. The tora exports jor the expired portion of the cotton year are 1,152,074 bales, against 1,576,333 bales for the same time last year, The stock at all the ports is 569,939 bales, against 709,033 for the same date in 1871. THE BANK STATEMENT. ‘The weekly statement of the associated oanks ts very unfavorable, owing to a large reduction in both their specie and legal tender reserves, ‘The specie has fallen another million, and a half under the steady influx of gold into whe Treasury for pay- ment of custom duties, while the greenbacks are down nearly @ million dollars, in consequence chiefy of speculative manipulation, although a large pro- Portion of the loss in this item can be fairly attri- buted to the shipment of currency to the out-of-town banks, much of it going to the South, where, under the more orderly relations of capital and labor gradually established since the close of the war, the planting of the annual cotton crop 1s beginning to be an influence upon our money market, much the same as the movement of the crop itself, This is an enurély new element in our monetary situation, for with the system of slavery before the war, the planting of tne crop involved no heavy initiauive outlay to laborers, and with the five or six years succeeding the war capital and labor went shares in the product of the plantation. Hence the cotton crop made money active only when it started to leave the plantation for the river and seaport towns, But within a year or so the rela- tons between the cotton growers and the colored laborers have changed, and are now practically the | ,Sawe as those which exist between the farmer and his “hands.’? To set this great labor machine in operation generally tor the first time a great deal of money 13 required; and tnquiry at the banks shows that tne Southern banks are drawing heavily on their New York deposits. The loss in deposits for the week 1s over three and a quarter millions, and is, doubtiess, a rising average for the reason that the loans show a@ contraction of only half a mililon, whereas a statement of to-day’s aggregate loans would provably show a decrease of over a million as compared with last Saturday, With this allowance the several items are reconciled to each other and the siatement explained even without crediting the stock cliques with interference. The statement contrasts with its predecessor as foi- lows :— ed. 10, Feb, 17.

MONBY EASY. Money was easy at 6 per cent among the stock brokers, and at 5 a 6 per cent among the govern- ment dealers. These were the rates for the real business of the day.
