The frequenters of the Royal Ex change, the Stock Exchange, Lombard-street, Mincing-lane, and the neighbouring alleys—where, within the scope of a little more than a couple of stones' throw, the commerce of the world centres, and where transactions to the extent of scores of millions are noiselessly arranged every day—have latterly caught flying glimpses of one another any where save in their accustomed haunts. A fort night more, however, particularly if the weather should become uncomfortable, will bring them all back from the four winds of heaven. The usual and natural effect of their return is an increase of movement in business circles. During the holi day time there is an indisposition to pass beyond the ordinary routine on the part of the workers who remain in the metropolitan smoke, and even where some bold spirit rises superior to the flatness incidental to the season, and aims at some new enterprise, it is very difficult at such a time of relaxation to effect those financial and other combinations which in such cases are fre quently found neoesaary. True, during the :holi day period, as at other times, the ordinary trade of the country pursues the even tenor of its way, but there is certainly a diminution in its volume, while new enterprise is especially restrained. It is more particularly, however, in the finan cial and speculative departments that the influence of the vacation makes itself felt, the principal reason being doubtless that already alluded to—namely, the difficulty of uniting powerful men in an effective combination. Thus a couple of months ago the money market groaned beneath the weight of the new loans and other schemes which were flung in a lump upon it, and the public were absolutely bewildered with the variety of articles—each warranted superior to memory of the last panic NLfive r suffice to render it probable •thiaos pie impatience at the magnitudtmap store money, and be tempted to lluiseiripot to • tent. We entertain not thelejikst no matter what may be the =hos sr re irritt .13 ,o o dosSit Akt, diroOtaon of the new investments they may yearn after, an abundant supply will soon be forthcoming. For the manufacture of new securities there are ready hands, and heads shrewder in nothing Sian in the intuitive perception with which they detect the bent of the public inclination, and provide the monied speculator with the very article he wants almost before he has had time to open his mouth to ask for it. Financial observers have not failed to remark that ever since the reduction in the Bank of Eng land rate of discount to 2 per cent. there has been a better demand for, and a diminished supply of money, and the causes of the change are perhaps deserving of notice. They are not to be found in any general revival of trade, for there is no such revival; nor in any recovery , in the cotton trade, that important department of business remaining as depressed as ever; nor in any aptitude for speculation, for there has been a good demand for money during the last two months, when speculation has been dormant. The real cause appears to be a diminution in the amount of the money placed, subject to allowance of interest, at the disposal of the joint-stock banks and discount establishments. Where there has not been a diminution there has been at least a disturbance of the deposits. For the reason of this it is not necessary to look any farther than to the low rate now allowed for loans and deposits. The deposits in the joint-stock bank' consist to a very considerable extent of small sums, including many owned by retired tradesmen, officers, widows, and spinsters ; and now that only 1 per cent. interest is given, the return is so small that many persons are indifferent to receiv ing it. Since this low rate was fixed, there has been a constant withdrawal of small deposits, and the effect in the aggregate is rather considerable. No doubt the sums withdrawn do not remain perfectly idle. If they are taken from one banking depository, they are probably, sooner or later, placed in another. They do not, however, reappear at once, and when they do re appear they are not so completely available for banking uses as they were, as may easily be imagined from the mere fact of the place of de posit having been altered. In those cases where money bearing one per cent. interest with a joint- stock bank is withdrawn and immediately invested in some security yielding a better return, it may very likely flow at once into some other bank, and become quickly available again. It is certain, however, that, principally from the cause mentioned, there has been a displacement of many deposits, particularly of those of small amount, and that a temporarily disturbing effect has thus been produced, particularly as it has been in operation at a season when the bankers in the provincial districts, in Scotland, and Ireland, have been called upon for a considerable amount of accommodation by their agricultural customers. The practice of allowing interest on deposits has unquestionably contributed greatly to the accumulation, within a few years, of nearly fifty millions of money in the London joint-stock banks alone, and the re duction in the rate of allowance to a merely nominal point goes far just now to neutralise their power of attraction. It is the very reverse of the process at work in times when money is dear, and when the high terms offered for deposits by these establishments cause small capitalists to collect together and lodge with them all the funds they can spare. lb. amt. COBURG, Ocr. 6. The Queen, accompanied by the Prince of Wake, Princess Helena, and Princess Louise, attended divine service yesterday at the chapel of the Castle of °diming. The service was performed by General-Superintendent Meyer. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Prussia and the Duchess of Coburg were likewise present. _ _ _ _ all others—which were thrust under their notice. But the holiday season sets in, and lo ! there is a sudden and general pause. Promoters, directors, and contractors have all scampered away to refresh themselves for another bout, and scarcely a single new scheme rustles in the air. The approach of the period when Capel-court ordinarily emerges from its torpor is thus looked forward to with interest by the posseesors of the two thousand millions ster ling of public securities who exist in this country, and who are accustomed to see the market value of their property raised or lowered according as the humour seizes the speculative classes. Not leas interesting must the approaching renewal of activity be to the multitude of capitalists, large and small, who are ever on the watch for oppor tunities of profitable employment of the article in which they deal. And as what affects the money market affects in some degree the *hole course of trade, the financial and speculative movements which are to be expected when enterprising men once more meet together possess a very wide interest indeed. The mortal remains of - the Prinoses Ferdinand of Saxe Coburg and Gotha were on Saturday night deposited in the family mausoleum. The procession moved from the Roman catholic church, in which the funeral service had been previoualy performed, at eleven o'clock. At the mausoleum it was met by the Prince of Wales, attended by Lieutenant-Colonel Keppel, and the Crown Prince of Prussia, attended by Captain Lucadow. Lieutenant-General the Hoe. C. Grey, the Hon. Sir C. Phipps, K.C.8., and Lieutenant. Camel I)u Plat, were likewise present by command of the Queen. This morning the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Prussia, and the Prince of Wales, left Coburg for Nurem berg ; from thence the Prince of Wake will pay a visit to Prince and Princess Louis of Hine, sad he will afterwards rejoin the Prince and Princess at Ulm, and then with them proceed oa s tour in Switzerland and on the coasts of the Mediterranean. The suite consisted of Count Briihl, Major Vois Obernitz, and Lieutenant-General Bnollys, and Lieutenant-Colonel Koppel, Equerry in Waiting to the Prince of Wales. At an earlier hour Prince William, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Albert Henry of Prussia, set out for Berlin, attended by Countess Hohenthal, Baroness von Dobeneek, and Captain Lutadow. Prince Leopold is quite recovered from his late illness. Her Majesty received yesterday visits from her cousins, the Princes Augustus and Leopold of Ltiale Coburg and Gotha. That the speculative world will have a lively time seems highly probable. Trade is not likely to experience any immediate or material expansion, and it is frequently remarked that when trade is dull, speculation is brisk. Men must have some thing to do, and if there is no adequate occupation in manufacturing or industrial pursuits—no ade quate charm in cotton, corn, tallow, sugar, hides, or other commodities—they will dabble in foreign loans, in railways, banks, mines, or insurance com panies. The necessity is that something shall be made to moot. Fashion is very powerful, and speculators are often like a flock of sheep. For months or even years together they will scarcely look at (as the case may be) Indian securities, Belgian, Lombardo-Venetian, or Bra zilian railway shares, or Turkish or other foreign stocks, but suddenly, without much more solid reason than a gyration of fashion, some one or more of these securities has its turn, comes into market favour, and rises greatly in price. Its merits are suddenly recognised, and people express wonder that theyshould ever have been overlooked. It is satisfactory to remark that there are no indications of any coming excess, but the antici pation of a good deal of speculative movement within the next few months seems to have a broad foothold to rest upon. The value of money is almost unprecedentedly low, and unlikely to rise materially. The prostration of the cotton mann- facture ii still causing the retention in this coun try of thirty millions sterling of money, which ordinarily quit it every year for the purchase of the raw material. Accordingly, there are six teen millions sod • half of specie and bullion in the Bank, notwithstanding soma recent draughts in connexion with foreign loans, with the increased importations of American and other corn, and with payments for Indian cotton. The mere facts that the Bank rate of disootutt is only 2 per cent., and that the THE EXPRESS, MONDAY ECG, OCTOBER ,LATENT INTELLIGENCE. It U .

The official journal of Palermo of the 10th saya : The measure of general disarmament, rendered necessary by the deplorable deeds which have just been enacted at Palermo, has obtained the assent of the population, which has replied to the orders of the government, by proceeding in • body to the offioes of the questorship to deposit there all kinds of arms. The quantity which has been delivered is so large, and the goodwill entertained by the citizens in submitting to the orders of the authorities ham been so manifest, that the lieutenant-general has ordained, in order that the disarmament may proceed more leisurely, that the period allowed for the delivery of the arms shall be prolonged to next Tuesday.

The excitement on the Stock Exchange yester day increased without the influence of either mili tary or political news. The market was very az , tire, and closed buoyant at an advance of to 2 per cent. Advises from New Orleans report that a large number of people have taken the oath of allegiance, to avoid the penalties of the confiscation act, which General Butler is rigidly going to enforce. The operations of the civil law have been re sumed in New Orleans. The sheriff had opened six district court& The country below New Orleans is much troubled by Confederate marauding parties, and a provost-marshal has been appointed for both sides of the river. Twenty guerillas have surrendered themselves. The Federal gunboat Iroquois has been sent to the mouth of Rio Grande. The British prize steamers Circassian, Memphis, Bermuda, Stettin, and Columbia, arc being fitted out as Federal cruisers. Mr. Simon Draper, of New York, has been ap pointed Provost Marshal General of the United States. The steamer Victoria, from Sabine Pus, and the steamer Cuba, from Mobile, have arrived at Ilavannah with combined cargoes of I,3oo . bales of cotton. The Confederate Congress has passed a new con scription act, to include all able-bodied men between the ages of 35 and 45. Southern reports state that an engagement oc curred between the Federal gunboat Santiago de Cuba and the Confederate steamer 290, in which the former was riddled with shot and forced to retreat. The report is, however, not entirely credited. The New York Herald asserts that Mr. Eli Thayer is appointed military governor of Florida, to carry out the scheme of introducing into the Southern States a loyal labouring population. The government will equip from 10,000 to 20,000 six months' volunteers, and station them in the states to be thus influenced. Each volunteerwill receive a homestead of public lands and free transportation for his family to the principal port of the state where they are located. It is intended by this means to infuse into the Southern States an industrious and loyal popula tion, in order to protect the Union men. It is supposed that the manufacturing and pro ductive districts of England can be made to contri bute to this emigration. The Federal War Department has determined upon the exchange of state prisoners with the rebel government. Heavy Federal reinforcements are being sent to Hilton Head and along the shores of the Broad River. It is supposed this is preparatory to an attack upon Charleston. The steamer Vanderbilt is being converted into a man-of-war, to carry 12 guns of heavy calibre. She, it is believed, will be the fastest vessel in the Federal service. The Confederate Congress have authorised the issue of 5,000,000 dollars in copper win of deno minations of 5, 10, and 25 cents. A letter from Louisiana is published in the Providence Journal stating that the Confederate government intends to emancipate and arm at least 400,000 negroes, and use them against the Federal government, with the determination to rule or ruin. The Confederate surgeon-general reports that the number of sick and wounded received in the Rich mond hospitals since their organisation is 99,000 ; of these, 7,000 have died. Federal Brigadier-General Rodman, wounded in the battle of Antietam Creek, has since died. The New York Time thinks that General M'Clellan's report represents a fearful picture of life wasted in South Mountain and Antietam bat tles ; and thinks the price paid was worth the capture or annihilation of the rebel army, and asks what officer, or what difficulties of country, or what combination of circumstances, is to be held responsible for this worst of all bargains 1 The Albany Argus states that General M'Clellan has issued full reports of all the battles in which he has been engaged, but that they have been sup pressed by the War Department. The Federal Post-office Department has issued a notice, that any letter mailed with the stamps at all soiled or defaced will be treated as unpaid. The New York press generally strongly condemns the course of the government in thus repudiating its own stamps. The New York Times says they have now no intrinsic value. They are not a legal tender; nobody will redeem them, and they will not pay the postage. The public might as well take wooden buttons or pebble stones, for they would have as much value. The Mayor of New York vetoed on Sunday the resolutions of the Board of Aldermen, declaring that emancipation would be dangerous to the national welfare. These resolutions were passed previous to President Lincoln's emancipation pro clamation. The mayor, in his veto, strongly approves of the proclamation, and thinks it must give the death-blow to the rebellion. He also disapproves the proposal of the aldermen to create a new com mittee formed of the committee on Union national affairs and a number of delegates from each of the political committees of the city. The mayor thinks that a committee thus constituted would assume a partisan character, acting in sympathy with the views of that party with which the majority of its members would be identified, and would soon become a strongly political rather than a patriotic committee. The Governor-General of Canada and the Lieut.- Governor of Nova Scotia, accompanied by a large suite, have arrived at Chicago, for the purpose of a bunting excursion in the western provinces. NEW YORK, Ocr. 2, Evmmm. General M'Clellan hah lately visited Washington. Fighting is expected in the neighbourhood of Wiu chester, Virginia. Heavy firing has been heard in the direction of Leesburg, but the cause is unknown. The Monitor has been towed up to Washington. A large portion of General Buell's army has moved towards the interior of Kentucky in several columns. The Federals have evacuated Cumberland Gap, with artillery and stores. They blocked the Gap with stones, making it impassable, and marched towards Ohio to join BuelL No confirmation of the peace rumours has been received.

The republican and democratic parties are malting vigorous efforts to carry the fall elections. General. Wadsworth, republican nominee for the pmt of governor of the State of New York, made a speech declaring that the republican party intend to hold the country together at whatever cost of life, blood, and suffering, and to devastate the country, if necessary, but not to survive its dis memberment. Mr. Foote, in the Confederate Congress, has de clared that proposals for peace could only come from the South : if they were refused, the evils to the civilised world resulting from the continuance of the war would rest upon the heads of the Northern leaders. Intelligence from Vera Cruz to the 9th Septem ber announces that the steamer Normandie had arrived safely out. The steamship City of Baltimore arrived at New York on the 28th of September. The steamship Europa was intercepted off Cape Race on the 29th. The English steamer Petahoff, with a cargo of 1,300 bales of cotton, arrived at Halifax on the 29th ; she was abort of coal. It was supposed the Petahoff had run the Southern blockade. THE LATE BATTLES. The following despatch has been received at the War Department from General Welellan : Near Bbarpobarg, Sept. 29, 1862. General, —I have the honour to report the following as some of the results of the battles of South Mountain and Antietam. At South Mountain our loss wan 433 dead, 1,806 wounded, and 76 missing ; total, 2,325. At Antietam oar loss was 2,010 Lilted, 9,416 wounded, and 1,043 missing ; total, 12,469. Total loss in the two battle, 14,794. The loss of the rebel. in the two battles as near as can be ascertained from the number of their dead found upon the field and from other data will not fall far short of the fol lowing estimate Major Davis, assistant inspector general, who superintends the buried of the dead, reports about 3,000 rebels buried upon the field of Antietam by our troops. Previous to this, however, the rebels had buried many of their own deed upon a distant portion of the bath, field which they occupied after the battle—probably at least 500. The loss of the rebels at South Mountain osaoot be mom tamped with accuracy, but as our troops continually drove them from the commencement of the action, sod as a much greater number of their deed were seen on the field than of our own men, it is naturally reasonable to suppose that their loss was greater than ours. Estimating their killed who were buried by themselves at 500, the total number of rebels killed in the two battles would be 4,000. According Ito the rates of our own killed and wounded, this would make their loss in wounded 18,742. As newly as ran be determined at this time the number of prisoners taken by our troops in the battles will, at the 'lowest estimate, amount to 5,000. The full returns will, no doubt, show a larger number. Of these about 1,200 are wounded. This gives a rebel lose in lulled, wounded, and prisoners, of 25,542. It will be observed that this does not include their stragglers, the number of whom is said by citizens here to be large. It may be safely concluded, therefore, that the rebel army lost at least 30,000 of their beat troops. From the time our troops first encountered the enemy in Maryland until he was driven back into Virginia, we cap tured thirteen guns, seven caissons, nine limbers, two field forges, two caisson bodies, thirty colours, end one signal flag We have not lost a single gun or a colour. On the battle field of Antietam 14,000 small arms were ordlected, besides the large number carried off by citizens, and those distributed on the ground to recruits and other unarmed men arriving immediately after the battle. At South Mountain no collection of small arms was made, but owing to the hasty pursuit from that point 400 were taken on the opposite side of the Potomac. (Signed) Geo. B. lretsuris, Major-Gener►L Major• General H. W. Haßeek, General-M.4)ldd of the United States Army. The Richmond Examiner of the 28th ult. says that General Bragg, with 10,000 men, is at Glasgow junction, and that General Roseau has gone to meet him. The Norfolk Union regards the defeat of General Bragg's army as certain, and says that there are 200,000 Federal troops between Nash ville and Louisville. The Boston Doily Advertiser of the Ist October publishes the following in reference to the evacua tion of Cumberland Gap : New York, Sept. V. A special despatch from Cincinnati to-night says, intel ligence haa just been received from General Morgan, who hue evacuated Cumberland Gap with his entire faros, and is now well on his way to the Ohio river. On evacuating the Gap, General Morgan sprung the mines, closing the purge through the mountains so completely, as to make it entirely impossible. All the stores, artillery, and mums time of war, were either brought away or destroyed, not leaving the value of 5 dole. to the enemy. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Ocr. 2, Evimucc.

The samples of lace displayed in the Malta department of the International Exhibition have caused a large amount of orders for the article, and the prices in con sequence have greatly iocreaaed. With a view to enoourage this branch of industry among the Maltese, a number of philanthropic individuals are about establishing a school, to teach the poor Maltese to make lace, and to insure the best materials and best patterns, at the lowest remunerating prices. If this object is properly carried out by having the best silk, and the best models for the Maltese to oopy, a peat improvement will be speedily effected in the quality of the lace, and if the real working people can obtain mousy for their work when finished the once; will speedily fall. The pima paid to the poor people who work, sad who sell to ths shopkeepers, sad that paid by purchasers to those shop keepers, are so differeet as to be almost beyond belief.

Her Majesty's paddle-yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain G. H. Seymour, will sail tirmoirrow morning from Portsmouth for Antwerp, to convey her Majesty to Eng- land on the termination of the royal visit to Germany. According to existing arrangements, should the weather prove favourable, the royal yacht is expected to return direct to Osborne from Antwerp. Should the weather, however, not be favourable for the voyage down Channel, the yacht will proceed to the Thames. _ _ . . . Lae t Mouclay night the opera Orpheus, of Chick, wee performel at the Royal Opera House, Berlin, and attracted so large an audience that there was not a single mat of any kind unoccupied. The Mlle of this great pres sure was that this was the centenary night of the first per formance of the work, originally brought out in Vienna in 1762. A German paper contains the following :—" It is now decided that the ex-Queen of Naples will not re turn to Home, as her brother, Duke Louis, this day con veyed her to the Ursuline convent at Augsburg in order to avoid the importunities urging her to again share the fate of Francis 11. Their marriage has not been happy for some time. The endurance of the young Queen at Gaeta hoes much of the romance with which it was surrounded by their party ; but the courage and patience which the Ba varian duke's daughter showed there must be fully recog. oink 'The moral defeat which Francis It. will sustalu by the separation from his amiable consort will not be without importance for Victor Emmanuel and the unity of Italy." The German Journal of Fraafort stater that during the last stay of the King of Prussia at 'Baden, his Majesty's cash-box was stolen one evening in theroom which Chancellor Bock occupied on the ground-floor of the hoteL The fact was discovered by a footman, who, on returning home, saw the window of the room open, and gave the alarm. As it became apparent that the thief could not have left the hotel, a strict search was made throughout the establishment, and the box was at length found in the garden wider a bush. The thief had evidently tried hard to break it open, but had not succeeded for want of the proper tools, with which a professional thief is generally provided. The perpetrator of the robbery has not yet been discovered. Despatches were received on Saturday at the Colo- Mal-office from the governors of the settlements oo the West Gout of Africa. Despatches were sent to the Governors of Gibraltar and Malta, the Lord High Coonnissiooer of the fustian Lslanda, and to the Governor of Canada.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. Wait on OWN PARIS, Sammy Evemx.., The Temps, accepting as true the news whi c h accredited yesterday (in spite of a contrary affinsa tion by the Opisiow NatMnak) that M. Rattasei not coming to Paris, says : This change of mind might be explained In two ii, ‘ ,. It might be that W.

We are very sorry to say that this se a .' bypotlimis now seems the most probable. The above is an instalment of opinions to the same effect which are likely to crowd upon you this week in confirmation of the view which I have lately taken as to the delusion of the Italians in hoping that the Emperor was about to evacuate Rome. The Opinion Nationale, that staunch chainpion ni Italian unity, and the reputed organ of Prin ce Napoleon, is not able to speak more hopefully. It briefly says, referring to'the negative result of the last cabinet council : This dilatory policy cannot but aggravate a situation already ninth too strained, and we can scarcely undereasd the recent publication in the Monittur unless its oh/edam to prepare public opinion for • speedy solution of the goes tion of the temporal power. We should, indeed, be ecrry t o see in that publication nothing bat • snametare intended to amuse the impatience of parties, or. at mat, to hold out a hope at such a long date that it an be taus factory only to the enemies of Italian unity and to the partisans of divine right, who cekelaie upon the complies time of the future. What the Opinion Nationale, by an euphemism necessary in the crippled state of the French prow, says it would be sorry to see is precisely what it knows, and laments, to be the case. It was rumoured that Prince Napoleon had bets in Naples for the purpose of making a report to In , imperial cousin on the state of feeling in Southern Italy. This idea, originating, of course, with the inevitable "foreign journals," is, we are now told by the Condiertionnet, altogether erroneous. When the prince was in Italy last May, the Princes, Clothilde, being in an interesting situation, wi nnable to accompany him ; she had never seen Naples ; and it was simply for the gratification ni her natural curiosity that the prince, the other day, escorted her thither from Ajaocio. A telegram from Cette says that a railway bridge on the line from Cette to Montpelier, between the Mireval and Villeneuve station., has been carried away by a flood, and that the com munication between the Southern Railway and that of Paris and Marseilles is thereby interrupted. M. Mathieu (de la Drams) will certainly say that his prophecy of heavy rains, from the ith to the 14th, is borne out by the weather in the south France, although as to Paris it has signally failed. The Tribunal of Commerce yesterday pronounced a judgment of some importance against the Bank of France. M. Jeanuin, a bill clerk of the Comptoir d'Esoompte, received in the course .4 his rounds a number of bank notes, among which, as it turned out, was one bearing neither number nor signature. The English usage of taking the numbers of notes passing through com mercial hands does not prevail in France, sal M. Jesunin was therefore unable to say where he took the imperfect note. His employers refused r, receive it, and left him responsible for the 10-- The note was a genuine proof of a Bank of Fran,: I,ooofr. issue, but had never been perfected by a number and signature, and could only have been put in circulation by a fraud. Under these circum stances M. Jeannin brought an action for I,ook. against the governor of the bank, not upon the note, but for damages occasioned by carelessuev in allowing the note to be issued. The tribunal adopted the plaintiff's view of the law, and pre a verdict against the bank for the full amount. The France mentions the 20th as the day on whit the Emperor will go to Compiegne.
