A “Corner” and a Rise in Pacific Mail. @OLD STEADY AND DULL. The Foreign Trade of the Port for the Week. THE COTTON AND SPECIE MOVEMENT. WALL STREFT, } SATURDAY, Oct, 12—6 P. M. @n ’Change to-day cotton wasin good demand, end %c. per Ib. higher for ‘spot’? and 8-16c. a 4c. ‘per Wb. higher for future delivery. Flour ruled steady, and wheat and corn were quict and with- @ut essential change in prices. THE IMPORTS OF THE WEEK. ‘The total imports at this port during the past Week were $6,606,985, composed of $1,403,240 of ‘@ry goods, and $5,203,745 of general merchandise. THE EXPORTS OF THE WREK. * ‘The exports from this port to foreign ports dur- Sug the past week were $6,225,768. The total ex- ports since January 1 are $177,588,111, against $184,- 256,641 during the same time last year. THE COTTON MOVEMENT. ‘The total receipts of cotton at all the ports dur- img the week were 87,268 bales, against 74,146 bales She previous week. The total receipts since Sep- tember 1, 1872, have been 818,038 bales, against 186,617 bales last year, showing an INCREASE IN THE PRESENT CROP of 131,421 bales. The total exports during the week ‘Were 37,834 bales, against 18,417 in 1871, and for the expired portion of the cotton year 111,341 bales, against 78,732 bales during the corresponding Period last year. The stocks at all the ports are 189,141 bales, against 145,486 bales in 1871. MONEY Easy, Money opened at 6 a7 per cent, declined to 8 per cent and closed at 2 a3 percent. Prime mercan- Mle paper was quoted 8 a 12 percent discount, ‘with actual business at 10 a 12percent. Forelgn exchange was quiet and unchanged on the basis of 108% a 108% for prime bankers’ sixty-day sterling and 110% a 110% for sight bills, THE BANK STATEMENT. The weekly statement of the associated banks proves highly favorable, the gain in specte ana legal tenders being over six millions and the gain im net reserve over five millions. The statement is made on rising averages, £0 that the condition of the banks is really much better than presented in these figures, and will be more truly indicated by mext Saturday’s statement, should no untoward movement occur to disturb the present RELATIONS OF RESERVE and liabilities. Were the banks to report their con- dition as they stood at the close of business this afernoon the gain in reserve would doubtless show 8 much as eight or nine millions. The easier posi- tion in which the banks have found themselves has enabled them to send large amounts et currency to the South and West, the outflow to which regions is shown in the discrepancy between @ gain of only three and a half millions in deposits against an increase of over 1x millions in legal ‘tenders and specie. A contraction of a million and a half in loans is not so readily explained, unless by the supposition that the banks CANCELLED MORE LOANS fm the earlier part of the week than they made in the latter, the principle of averages making the result appear as in the statement. The gain in specie is just about the difference between the Treasury disbursements by public sale and for imterest and the receipts on account of customs duties. The increase in legal tenders is accounted for by the Treasury purchases of bonds, of which ‘only $4,400,000 out of the five millions Dought had deen turned in at the close of business to-day. The statement contrasts with its predecessor of last ‘week as follows :— Oct. 12. $268,298,300 12,207,800 27,737,900 189, 709,300 45,729,400 - $1,512,000 2,263,900 183,700 Increase in deposits. . + 3,559,100 Increase in legal tenders.. 3,813 An analysis of the above figures shows that the banks now hold a surplus of $3,575,400 in excess of the required legal reserve—a gain for the week of 154,400, ere GOLD 112% a 112%, The gold market was dull and steady at 112% a 112%, at which figures all the sales of the day took Place. The European steamers took out no gold, the shipments being confined to $75,000 of silver. The gain of specie in the banks for the week ex- erted no influence fora decline, probably because of the steadiness of foreign exchange at its recent advance. The course of the market is shown in ‘the following table :— «ee 112% 1 PLM, 112% + 112% 1:40 P.M 112% + 112% 2P.M, 1127, » 112% 3P.

STOCKS STRONG, BUT LESS ACTIVE, ‘The stock market was less active as regards the amount of business in the whole lst; but, leaving out of consideration the diminished dealings in Pacific Mail, there was perhaps a gain in general activity. At least there was a wider disuribu- tion of the speculative interest, and a spas- modic running from one stock to another, until prices at the close showed an improvement ranging from 4a13, percent, The carly card was Pacific Mall, which the pool endeavored, or professed to endeavor, to “corner,” , THE CASH STOCK being worth at one time a half per cent more than that deliverable on Monday. The price in the regu- lar way advanced to 85%, and the highest for cash stock during the day was 85}. The speculation next ran on Union Pacific, which gold at 39%, and eventually on Rock Island, which closed and Western Union Telegraph, which wound up at 74% 874%. The good bank statement excited its usual paradoxical effect and caused a decline just after 1ts appearance, but the “gober second thought” caused a brilliant rally and further advance and a lively movement gencrully in the closing half hour of business, Hannibal and St. Joseph sold at 87% and closed at 37.

The Escape of Prisoners from Blackwell's Island. Sixteen Desperadoes Take a French Conge During the Year—A Gang Capture a Boat and ‘Their Keeper, and All But One Get Away—Another Attempt Frustrated Yesterday. ‘The boldest escape on record of convicta from the Penitentiary, at Blackwell’s Island, took place on Friday afternoon, when six powerfully built @esperadecs, rowing past Hell Gate, in a prison boat, accompanied by their keeper, Patrick Gearey, rose upon him, seized his pistol, and,’ cocking it, threatened to blow out his brains and throw him overboard if he moved hand or feot. The unfortunate keeper was power- lesa, for the comvicts were masters of the situation, They forced him to steer them to the foot of 106th street, East River, where they landed and made their escape, their first proceed- ing being to run towards the gas works there in process of construction, where they were far- nished with clothes by the laborers or accomplices, which hid from public gaze their ZEDRA-PATTERNED PRISON GARB. Startling as the announcement may appear, no less than sixteen prisoners, including the five just mentioned, have escaped this year from Black- well’s Island Penitentiary, and doubtless many of the incarcerated rascals there think, according to the well-known couplet, Stone walls do not a prison make, Nor iron bars a cage: for when so many of their number escape, each man may justifiably hope that his day will come sooner or later, About a couple of years ago, at Sixty-second street, a keeper engaged in the Penitentiary found haifa dozen pistols levelled at his head, and he was ordered to let his boat’s crew Haines oe eget sere ee NO PROTECTION EXISTS FOR THE KEEPERS, and Se Welrare ted gang of rufians can take possession of these boats, there being merely the pistol of the detective to fear. A couple of armed men at these points as sentinels is an absolute necessity. THE LAST ATTEMPTED ESCAPE. Yesterday a young Frenchman, a penitentiary pri- soner, tried to reach Manhattan Island from Ward's Island, where he was working for the day in company with a hundred other prisoners, He rushed down to the water’s edge and attem» ted to swim across the lly had he entered the water when hots came hissing into the stream near him and caused him to reconsider his plans. The hun- dred prisoners just alluded to are taken daily in, the steamboat belonging to the Commissioners of Charities and Correction to work on Ward’s Island and are pincet. between decks, under a guard of ten armed keepers, A VISIT TO BLACKWELL'S ISLAND, The writer went yesterday to the foot of Eighty- sixth street, where escapes from the workhouse are of frequent occurrence. To this place also come “ten-day men,” principally sent for drunkenness and street brawis. At the foot of Highty-sixth street stands a refreshment saloon, and one of the ‘waiter’s there said it was quite a common nine to see men swimming off the Island, and when they landed their friends would be waiting with a change of clothes for them, the prison garb bein; thrown into the river. Walking down avenue the reporter soon reached the Workhouse ferry. The keeper had his pistol on his knee and steered fe peat, the oarsmen being “ten-day men.” THROUGH THE WORKHOUSE GROUNDS, where hundreds of men and women were seen lounging about, awaiting the supper bell, a large fron gate was entered, and the reporter found him- self in the Penitentiary grounds, Passi sage @ beautiful avenue of several hundred yards in length the handsome villa of Mr. Fitch, the warden, was reached, Addressing himself to @ prisoner engaged in the useful pursuit of knife cleaning, he learned that Mr. Fitch had just left for Baltimore and would not be back for ten days. Nothing re- mained but to find the deputy warden, Mr. en- haven. He was found in the prison, but was not able to give any STATISTICS as to the number of prisoners who had escaped this year or to give the names of all the men who had escaped, as the clerk had al#®dy left. He said that when prisoners escaped they were almost in- variably befriended by accomplices, who awatted them on the New York shore. He considered the escape of the five men as the boldest affair on record at the Island, and he had himself had much experience with the prisoners. Suosequently the reporter paid a visit to the keeper, Mr. Geary, from whom the five men had escaped. in appearance he is a handsome man and possesses a remarkably determined cast of feature. THE KEEPER'S STORY, On Friday afternoon, at half-past four o’clock, as I was pulling down from Ward’s Island, against a strong ebb tide, running past Hell Gate, laden with @ cargo of sod, a boat manned by two men pulled across my bows. No sooner had this occurred than my stroke slipped his oar, doubtless imtentionally. Icalled out to him to recover it, and he got up, and with two others sete were six persons rowing) sprang aft and pinioned My arms just as i was in the act of pullin; Caren | piel. They seized it from “ge grasp, cocked it, and threatened to blow out my brains it I stirred hand or foot and throw me into the water. Tney then turned the boat up the river and headed tor 106th street, where five of them landed and ran off at fullspeed to the gas works, The sixth man, a German, was NOT QUICK ENOUGH in getting ashore, and I managed to capture him. I then moored the boat, and with my prisoner went to the Eighty-sixth street police station, where I caused an alarm to be _ given, but up to the present moment none of them have been recaptured. Their names have been given by me tu Detective Mahoney, of the Fourth ward, who will soon have some ‘of them back again. I have been nearly four years a keeper, and have never lost a prisoner: I was appointed through the Hon. Denis Burns. [ consider the vigilance exercised effectual on the Island, but this case is an exceptional one. The guard boats are ee, plying round the island irom half- ast six P. M. to half-past five P. M., when the ll rings. Last summer we were short of keepers. Thanking the keeper for his statement, the re- porter bade him good night. CRIME IN NEWARK. cali eee nt Arraignment of the Krementz Burglars— A Militia Captain in Limbo—Stabbing a Conductor. In the Newark courts yesterday Billy O’Brien, alias Porter, the notorious New York burglar; Hirsch Harris, alias Grenthal, the receiver, and Mary Ann Johnson, the latter’s daughter, were arraigned to plead on indictments charging them with being im- plicated in the now famous Krementz burglary case. Harris and his daughter pleaded not guilty, and their trial was set down for the 2ist instant, O’Brien, who Is also indicted for a desperate at- tempt to break jail, the boldest on record in New- ark, pleaded guilty to both, having first admitted the justice of pay. one indictment. Thomas Jackes and Ronald MeNichol, the bail bond conspirators in the same case, were also indicted and placed be- fore the bar to plead. “Not guilty” was their answer, and their trial was set for the 23d, Charles Hickey, Patrick Smith and James Murphy, each charged with complicity in the attempt of O’Brien, alias Porter, to break eo also indicted and will be tried on he 18th. SOCIAL IMMORALISTS. In the same Court was arraigned to plead one Gustav A. Warmouth, who is charged with having grossly assaulted a female. He pleaded not guilty and was remanded to prison in default of $10,000 1. In the lower Court, before the Police Justice, Captain Albert Gademan, of the Veteran regiment, was called up to answer acharge of bigamy pre- ferred by Catharine Gademan. She alleges that Gademan was married to her several years ago in Pottsville, Pa., and after living for some time with her left her with her parents and removed to Newark, Soon after arriving here he married again and joined the Fifth veteran regiment, and in course of time was elected to ptaincy. About @ month ago he became dissatisfied with his Newark spouse and sent to Pottsville for the old one, He hired two houses and spent three days with one and then three days with the other, tell- ing both that he was compelled to work at nights in the factory. Finally this double-shuftie play was found out and hence the arrest at the instance of the Pottsvilie sponse.

The Chief of Police Arraigned—He Pleads Not Guilty to Each of the Four Indict- ments—The Trial Set Down for Wednes- day. Chief of Police McWilliams was brought before the Court of Oyer and Terminer, at Jersey City, yesterday morning, and called upon to plead to four indictments found against him. The first charges him with having burglars’ tools in his possession, with intent to break into and rob the First National Bank. The second charges him with breaking and enter- ing; the third with having conspired with John Doyle, Charles J. Proctor, Frank Denning and Jo- seph Foley to break and enter the First National Bank, with intent to steal, and the fourth with misconduct in office in neglecting to arrest parties whom he found in possession of burglars’ tools. To all of these McWilliams pleaded not guilty. The trial was set down for next Wednesday, the same day on which Detective Doyle will be tried. McWilliams was remanded the County Jail and bad not We bail up to a late hour last evening. The trial was at first set down for to- morrow, but the Chief informed the Court that he could not be ready so soon. Mr. Winheld, his counsel, desired a Praeoeeee till Monday week, but Judge Bedle informed him that the application, based on proper affidavits, must be made on Wednesday. ‘he case will be tried by Judge Dares. cWilliams looks haggard and careworn.

The Witnesses To Bo Given an Oppertunity to Testify in Their Own Defence—Discharge of Two of the Negro Prisoners and Brob- FLEMINaToN, N. J., Oct, 12, 1872, From the manner of the Prosecuting Attorney” this morning it was evident that there was some-- thing of more than ordinary importance 2 4 and when the nine white prisoners, by the three negroes, were marched into ¢ourt, the few curious spectators who had assembled‘ Were on the lookout for some new developments. The majority of the prisoners looked more hopeful than usual and evidently anticipated a speedy and favorable termination of their troubles. The three negroes were kept apart from the Irishmen in ‘a corner by themselves, ‘and the two parties eyed each other continually: through the short sitting which was had to-day. Confinement seems to thrive with the colored men, a8 they presented a more subdued and decent ap- pearance than when they were first consigned to- prison, Justice Durham took his seat on the bench at half-past nine o’clock, and the counsel on both: sides ranged themselves on either side of the table: which for the past two weeks has been appro- priated to the representatives of the press. ‘The active Kuhl and the depressed Bird appeared for the defence, and the gentlemanly Chamberlain. the Father of the Bar, Allen, for the prosecution. _ Mary Wolverton, whose direct testimony was given yes- terday, was cross-examined this morning : the nan who had the gun—and who told the crowd as they came back that they were on the wrong. that the negroes had killed one of their men (Bnwi }, and.

Mr. Cham- berlain insisted that it was proper to examine the b sdpatabed and that there was no necessity for them» confer with counsel iu order to tell the truth. Mr. Bird eloquently supported his colleague, Mr. Kuhl, and advanced unanswerable arguments why an adjournment should be had. Mr. Alle said that his own opinion was that the defence a right to call witnesses for the defence, thor said, the privilege had been sometimes denied hi The duty of the Justice is limited, he said, and it was not for him to pronounce upon the guilt or in- nocence of the prisoners; his duty was merely to see whether they were to be held for examination or not. The prosecution did not pretend to ex- amine the prisoners under oath, and he admitted the peculiar position in which the counsel for the defence and the prisoners were placed, and he recognized the justice of Mr. Bird’s remarks an@ wonld not oppose the motion if the District Attor- ney was of the same mind. Mr. Bira thanked Mr. Allen for his generous con+ ae on aren for an adjournment until Monday. ir. Kul ASKED FOR THE DISCHARGE OF JOHN BOGUE, on the ground that sufficient evidence had not been advanced to hold him, — Mr. Allen objected, and said: there was already sufficient evidence advanced not only to hold him but to convict him. An tion was also made for the discharge of oree Milburn and two of the negroes, Yates an Thatcher. Mr. Allen would not op the motion . regarding Milburn if the latter would give ty to appear as a witness on the trial of such of the prisoners as would be held, and so far as the two hegroes were concerned, there being no evidence old them, he would consent to their disch: They were discharged accordingly and left the Court. Sammy Wilson, the third negro, was re- manded back to prison, there being very strong evidence against him. HUGH CASSIDY’S STATEMENT. Mr. Kuhl asked what disposition was to be made’ of the case of Cassidy, the old Irishman, against whom not an iota of testimony had been advanced, and much amusement was created in Court by the lively sketch the old man gave of the way he came to be in his present difficulty. He said:—I wuk on McFadden’s job, near the ould Presbyterian church and was at home in my bed on the night of the riot and until nine o’clock the next Sunday morning. I knew nothing of the row until I heerd that a white man had been cut up in pieces like butcher's mute by the Hargure Tam a gol to tell the truth, gentiemen, and I'll explain how come to be arrested.

He said something more to me about what. the ih had done, and said to him . “You lie, you nayger, and if [ yon be- hind a wood anda gun in my hands I would put. fad from telling lies ina hurry again.” I don’t. ‘now anything more until I was arrested, and I aid not know where I was brought, for when I was going into jail here I thought was going » tavern.

I heard alterwards that the “nayger’’ had sworn the country, and when he is not produced = me Idon't see any reason why you should heid against me, but he has left me, Mr. Allen said if the prisoner would give surety to keep the peace he would be released, but as the ae is a stranger and has no friends in the istrict he may have diffcuity in Mga) bail. As itis a manifest injustice to hold him he will probably be discharged. The Court was then adjourned until nine o'clock on Sunday morning, when the most interesting: day’s session yet held may be expected.
