Om ’Change to-day cotton was quiet for “spot” nd active for “future,” with the market easy. Flour was steady, while wheat and corn were easier, THE IMPORTS OF THE WEEK. ‘The total foreign imports at this port during the Past week were $6,487,625, made up of $1,734,488 of dry goods and $4,753,137 of general merchandise, THE COTTON MOVEMENT, The receipts of cotton at all the ports for the past week were 120,465 bales, against 113,148 bales the previous week. The total receipts since Sep- ‘tember 1, 1872, are 646,989 bales, against 459,111 for ‘the same period of last year, showing an increase an the present crop of 187,878 bales.

The gold market underwent a further decline to 111% on heavy sales of “long” gold by parties who ‘had at last given up the speculation for arise, A farge “short” interest was also stimulated by ‘vague rumors that the Treasury programme for November, to be published on Monday, contem- plated the sale of eight to ten millions the current month. Toward three o’clock there was a sharp gally to 111%, under purchases to cover short sales, and the price closed 1115.

The Sub-Treasury paid out $415,000 on account of interest and $24,000 on account of redeemed ‘ve-twenties, ° MONEY EASY. The money market was easy and quiet. The rate ‘on call opened at 6a7 per cent, declined to3 per cent and closed at $ a 4 percent Foreign ex- change was weak and rates an eighth lower. ‘There was little doing, as usual on Saturdays, Prime mercantile paper was quoted 9 a 12 per cent discount. THE BANK STATEMENT. ‘The weekly statement of the associated banks is favorable, but the changes are not important, ex- ceptin loans, which show an expansion of over two millions, an enlargement of accommodation which we must believe has gone to the benefit of the mercantile interest, and is at the same time a ‘Tellable indication that the banks feel themselves in & safe position. The gain in surplus reserve is only $210,700; but any improvement in this respect 4s @ matter for CONGRATULATION ‘at this time of the year, when the reserves are apt to ran very close upon the legal limit. Indeed, the ‘banks in simply holding their own would have done ¢much more than was expected of them. As it is ‘they show a strength that has been seldom equalled -@t this time of the year and will stand to them in ‘any emergency the ensuing sixty days, or until the periodical monetary relaxation that comes with ‘the Ist of January. The statement compares with its predecessor as follows:— ‘Sanks now hold $6,625,975 in excess of the reserve wequired by law, against $6,415,276 the previous week. THE RAILROAD BONDS.

GOVERNMENTS LOWER, The government bond market was dull and Prices of the gold-bearing issues lower with the de- cline in the gold premium, but not to the same ex- tent. The currency issues were steady. The follow- ing were the closing quotations:—United States currency sixes, 113% a 113%; do, do., 1881, regia- tered, 114% a 116; do. do., coupon, 115% a 116; do. do., five-twenties, registered, May.and Novem- ber, 111% a 111%; do. do., 1862, coupon, do. do., 111 @ 111%; do, do., 1864, dv. do,, 11148 111%; do, do., 1865, do. do., 111% @ 11134; do. 1867, re- gistered, January and July, 113% a 113%; do. do., 1865, coupon, do., 113% a 113%; do. do., 1867, do, do,, 114% a 114%; do. do., 1868, do. do., 114 a 114%; do. ten-forties, registered, 108 a 108%; do. do., coupon, 108 a 108%; do. fives of 1881, regis- tered, 109 @ 10934; do. do. do., coupon, do. do., 109 a 10934. STOCKS DULL AND IRREGULAR, The stock market was duller, with at spells a quiet amounting almost to stagnation. The gen- eral market opened buoyant, but fell off and closed heavy. The stronger features were Onios, Wabash and Lake Shore. At the outset Northwest and Rock Island were rising, but near the close de- clined to the lowest prices of the day. Western Union and Pacific Mail were feverish and the others generally steady. The “bears” are quite sanguine the election of General Grant has been discounted, and the “bulls” believe the public are awaiting the actual result-of the political contest, on the theory that the battle is never lost (for Greeley) till it ia won (for Grant). A rise in Consolidation Coal to 47%, and in Mayland Coal to 23% reflects the better maket for the soft coal mined by these companies. The Southern State bonds were quiet and firmer, with considerable inquiry for Virginia consols, which advanced to 5434 a 56. The general list was steady.

The Brooklyn Coroner was notified yesterday to hold an inquest over the body of Mrs. Mary Eberly, who died from the effects of burns, at her residence, 109 Carlton avenue, Deceased was engaged in eg & stove on Friday last, when she upset a ttle of liquid upon the stove. The fluid ignited, and, scattering over over her clothing, burned her in @ fatal manner. POUND DEAD IN BED. At half-past five o'clock yesterday morning Catharine Kennedy, ® woman forty years of age and born in Ireland, was found dead in bed at her residence, 386 East Thirty-fourth street. She was a woman who frank to great excess, and undoubt- edly excessive intemperance was the cause of her death. real Herrman was notified to hold an FFICE OF M. L, Coroner’s Inquest on Louis C. Samuels, Alleged To Have Been Murdered on Ward’s -Istand. His Death Ascribed to a Cold Shower Bath— Brutality of the Attendant Nurses—The Cases of Fiendishness Which Have Occurred Since the Death of Ornell and Seymour— The Fearfal Mismanagement of the Lunatic Asylum—The Commission- ors of Charities and Correction Desire a Rigid Investigation * Into the Demise of Sam- uels—Adjournment of the Ingnest. In the HeRaup of last Thursday a full account of the death of Louis C. Samuels, a lunatic, confined at the City Asylum on Ward's Island, was published, setting forth the full facts in relation to the alleged brutality manifested by the attendant upon the unfortunate deceased. Dr. Echeverria, the resi- dent physician of the asylum at that time, stated the case to our reporter, which facts were corrob- orated by him yesterday under oath at the Coro- ner’s inquest, Goroner Gershon N, Herrman, having the case in charge, convened a jury at twelve o’clock yester- day. The publicity given to the alleged homi- cide tended to draw together a full attendance to the inquest, comprised, however, mostly of the friends of the attendants upon whom the acts of brutality are charged. The first evidence taken was the TESTIMONY OF DR, JOSEPH CUSHMAN, This witness, being duly sworn, said—My name is Joseph Cushman; I am a physician and Deputy Coroner; Lhave made a post-mortem examination of the body of Louis ©. Samuels, at the Insane Asy- lum, Ward's Island; the body was very much emaciated; on exvernal examination I found a faint ecchymasis over the leit arm, near the elbow, and slight abrasion on the back of the left hand; there were no other marks upon the body; on open- ing the skull I found slight evidences of old arach- noiditis; the brain appeared normal, and was of firm consistence; the thoracic and abdomnial or- gans were examined and found normal; the inter- nal organs were congested; heart contracted; death, in my opinion, was caused by exhaustion. THE NEXT WITNESS called was Dr. Gonzales Echeverria, who, being sworn, stated that he was the resident physician at the Insane Asylum on Ward's Island; deceased ‘was admitted last August; witness saw Samuels for the first time on the 2d of September, who was then suffering from acute mania, was talkative and incoherent, but quite inoffensive; he seemed to be a man of education and respectability ; during the month of September Samuels continued in about the same condition, with very slight changes in his mental condition, only that he was troubled with diarrhoea, which at that time was prevalent in Ward M, where the patient was confined; about two weeks ago he recovered from the diarrhea, and, although pevnlant and incoherent, he seemed improved in his mental condition; he very fre- quently complained to me of being STARVED AND ILL-TREATED by the attendants in the ward; witness always took his complaints with a deal of precau- tion,-since he was inclined to be incoherent, but kept a strict watch on the attendants, especially on McDonald, inasmuch as this man bore evidences of not being a sober man; every morning on wit- ness’ visit found McDonald with eyes red and face flushed, smelling very much of liquor; considered him a dangerous attendant upon the patient, as he was likely to be cruel; on Saturday morning, October 26, had the first opportunity of satisfying himself that his apprehensions were correct, as he found a patient named Patrick Cassidy in ward M had his face and shirt spotted with blood; Cassidy told witness that he had been slapped and his NOSE BROKEN BY M’DONALD, who did not deny the fact, making the excuse that he did so because Cassidy wanted to put on two pairs of pants; witness reported the matter to the Commissioners of Charities and Correction that morning; on visiting Ward M on the morning of the 27th of October found the deceased in bed, per- fectly blue and very chilly; he was complaining bitterly against McDonald for having punished him. with a cold bath; deceased had been insufficiently fed, and was emaciated to such an extent that nothing but skin and bones were left of him; _ witness ordered McDonaki to give & cup of milk to all those who had had no breakfast; McDonald answered that that he could not obtain it until one o’clock, when the Warden would give it out; told McDonald then to give Samuels a cup of tea; on Monday, October 28, on arriving in ward M, witness found the room occupied by Samuels locked; having a presenti- ment that something wrong had happened wit- ness entered, and found deceased crying and ina very weak condition; deceased told Witness that ald had slapped him and KICKED HIM IN THE STOMACH with his knee; Samuels asked witness for a pencil to write to his brother and the Commissioners con- cerning the cruelty practised towards him; told Samuels that he would inform the Commissioners, and sent the following letter to the President of the Board one Hon. Isaac Butt, President, &c. :— is Dear Str—Louis C. Samuel, in ward M, complained this Piya McDonald had ill-treated’ him, ithe kicked him in the stomach, and that McDonald was very brutal towards him. Samuels had marks in the right arm othayins. pases Pstry Pan is the se complain’ made by lcDonald, taken pI morning, when ' Samuels said that McDonald was always punishing him, and that McDonald had kept him that morning for several minutes in a cold bath to punish Samuels is a 3, feeble luna Yours respectfully. GONZALES ECHEVERRIA, Dr. Echeverria made a statement to the Jury in order to denionstrate that he had not acted hastily nor evinced any petty jealousies in his transactions, although he pret charges ist the Warden, one of the house physicians and the drug- gist, oh ec ieenog conduct and drunkenness after midni He said substantially, to show that the attend- ants bad not been in ey manner checked by the complaints made against them, on the indictment of Farrell, that the following CASES OF BRUTAL TREATMENT have occurred d the last six weeks, following the death of Ornell and Seymour :— SEPTEMBER 20—Gilla Rajaella, an Italian boy, in ward G, was kicked and bruised by the attendant McGloughin. One of the bruises was bleedin when the doctor saw the boy, After his attention was called to the fact by another patient McGlou- gin could not deny the fact, and upon complaint was Hig partner, O’Brien, became dis- gusted and ret ed. Ocroner 10—Thomas Cooper was struck and Wounded over the left eye by the attendant Folley. Half an hour after the action Cooper, who had been confined in his cell, gave @ very dispassionate statement of the harsh treatment received at the hands of Folley. Although the charge was fuily proven this man is still kept at his post. OcrosER 18—Adoiph Petybold: was kicked and punished by the attendants, Farrell and Molony, because he could not control himself, owing to nap coh eee tae atte bpd Ce was reported e Board; the two attendants are, however, retained in thelr places, ibe : OcrobER 21—Herrman Eilers was ill-treated and kept in the most filthy and horrid condition, cov- ered with vermin, by the attendant, James filey, Etlers complained to Dr, Thomas Hunn, one of tlie Commissioners, the day before he diea 22) of the treatment received from Riley, and which had already been ‘4 E. Robin- epee to the Boar son, & very ration: tient, complained to the same Conimissioner that McNamara, an attendant in the ward, was in the habit of kicking him and Le) caer patients. The fact has been reported to OcToBER 20—While the body of Samuels had not yet become cold, James Riley, in astate of drunken- ness (for which he was reported to the warden by the resident physician, with the request that he should be suspended at once), ill treated Michael O'Reilly in 4 most brutal manner, kicking him until he was rendered almost stiff and senseless, as was reported by Dr, sree, te house physician, who saw him at the time. The body of lic 1 O'Reilly was head to and the brute who 80 “ktgured aan, was Padeey Kn " and is now at large, insteatt of being punii by law. On Monday the Commissioners met ‘d’s Island n it McDonald, who to investigate the charges agains! not pres charges against McDon the case of Samuels. Thi fast named DIED ON THAT NIGHT; was informed of his death by Galvin at two o'clock and that he had taken a drink of water, whicn he Poel did not belleve; reported tne death of muels with the belief that deceased died of ill- treatment, : Witness was Pipa td at the post-mortem exami- nation and stated substantially the same points as Dr. Cushman. Dr. Echeverria gives it as his opinion that Samuels died from exhaustion, ill- treatment and the cold bath; furthermore, the at- mdants should be appointed for their sobriety and competency, and be men of moral character and not easily excited. Thomas Galvin, one of the attendants of ward M, Was sworn, and said he had been in the Asylum two months, on Randail’s Island four months; that,’ under the rules he was EMPOWERED TO GIVE PATIENTS A BATH once or twice @ week; was attending Samug?s; MeDonald was not; gave deceased a bath on the &th; Dr. Echeverria saw him on 25th; did not think Sainuela sick; Dr. Eche had hot been in the ward for some days, to his knowledge; saw who prescribed Dr. the! Deals re, for Samuels, and OUT OFF HIS DIET, with that of other patients; always tr patients kindly never saw any of the at- tendants under the iniluence of liquor; no patient from that ward is ft to go out; Samuels hi P . Echeverria that witness had ill- treated him, but the Doctor found no foundation for the char; A great many of the attendants have been erase from ward, it being the en to which fiithiest patients are trans- ferred, James McDonald, the attendant of Louis 0, Samuels, was called and sworn, who deposed that he was in wara M, with Galvin; had never given Samuels a bath nor struck or tll treated him in an: way; neither has he struck Cassidy or broke hi nose; dy’s nose is not broken; has only drank twice during nis ony on Ward’s Island; de- ceased was quiet, talked incoherent sometimes and quite sensible at others; could not place any reliance npon what deceased said and would not belteve what he stated regarding the bath. Henry Hughes testified that he was Vice Presi- dens of Olympia Lodge of Odd Fellows, and in his official capacity visited Louis C. Samuels; found him rational; remenibered the witness and asked after other brethren of the lodge; deceased com- plained bitterly of Dei ny he received rom McDonald; the lodge patd $15 per month tor extras the patient was sup} to receive, but inatead Samuels stated that he was starved, The Warden. of the asylum (Thomas Burke) like- wise testified that he took cognizance of the con- duct of keepers, who are reported to the Comnus- stoners for dismissal it complained of, Two other witnesses testified, but the evidence was immatértal. Coroner Herrman stated that the Commissioners had requested the most rigid inquiry into this vase, and, as they could not be present then, he would adjoorn the further proceedings until 'Thurs- day, November 7, at twelve M, MORE LIGHT WANTED IN NEWARK. In the Newark Common Council, on Friday night, @ movement was made looking to a much needed improvement in the present miserable manner of lighting the street lam) The police were in- structed to see that the wpe were ail lit on their respective posts. There ® custom in Newark worthy of the age of rush gets which releases the gas company m supplying the city on nights when, according to the almanac, it is full moon, but when, according to fact, the pale pocnens, either goes to roost or enjoys a game of ide and seek among the clouds. ‘The result is the city is tor many nights of the year left in total darkness, to the danger of citizens canals with their discomfort. In the Winter ume, of frosty, slippery sidewalk nights, this is particularly o! noxious. Some action looking to a better order of things ought to be taken by the Counoll without delay. eo MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. Married. CAMPBELL—NELSON.—On Wednesday, October 16, by the Rev. J. P.
