*parting intrlltgente. WARWICK SEPTEMBER RACES.—Texsoax. The near approach of the St. Leger invests the Warwick Wseeting with much greater importance than even the lengthy programme issued by Mr. Merry could command, as the market movements on the great Doncaster race are watched with the keenest interest, many important trans actions having been enacted at Warwick in past years. (In Mond .y the usual quiet of Warwick was disturbed by the mutant arrival of racing visitors and horses, and the fine weather gave every promise of an extraordinarily successful gathering. Derieg the night, however, a change took place, and early on Tuesday morning a violent thunder storm broke ova r the town, rain falling heavily for several Lours. There was one great ailvantage, however, in the watery visitation, as it made the course admirable going instead of being as hard KM a turnpike road, as it was from the effect of the late scorching weather. Towards noon an improvement in the weather indicated a fine afternoon, but at the close a drenching downfall drove every one to shelter. The programme of the day's racing was an interesting one, including as it did the names of several first-class horses, and promising interesting contests. The opening event — the Woodoote Nursery—bore out the protium, Lily only just managing to defeat Retty by a neck. Mr. Heathcote gave a foretaste of his after-success by winning the Avon Stakes with Brown 'pommy, while the Shorts Handicap proved a great surprise by the victory of the Catherine Hayes filly, a complete outsider. The principal event of the day, the Leamington Stakes, tuned out to be the good thing it looked for &rowing, who won in a canter from Pintail, to whom she was giving nearly two stone. And although the result was some compensation to " the Squire " for the vexatious defeat of his mare on the Ebor Handicap, it at the same time afforded ineontestible evi dence of a sheer throwing away of a race. The remaining events do not call for special remark. In the course of the afternoon some speculation took place on the St. Leger. But there was very little actual business trans acted. The positions of the two favourites remained un changed, and there was no other movement among the subordinates to alter the complexion of things.

This was a first sitting under the bankruptcy of William Donald, of Regent-street, St. James's, restaurant keeper, and of Stud Farm, Acton, farmer. The adjudication took place on a creditor's petition, and the following gentlemen were now appointed assignees :—Mr. Foster Graham, of 3s, Oxford-street, upholsterer ; Mr. George Hooper, of Queenbithe, wine merchant ; and Mr. James Henry, of Mark-lane, wine merchant. The liabilities are retuned, in a statement of affairs prepared by Mews. Johnstone, Cooper, Wintle, and Evans, at about 30,0001., and the assets are of considerable value. A liquidation of the estate out of court is said to be in contemplation. Messrs. Lordey and Morley are the solicitors under the proceedings. - , • ' ; THE MURDER IN THE OLD KENT-ROAD. Two letters found in the prisoner's pocket addrented to his brother in France, ran thus - - - • "September 1, 1867. "My dear brother Alfred—Excuse me for coming to trouble you for the last time, after having been, I believe, nearly four years without giving you any news of me. I have submitted during the last eight months to the greatest miseries, and I cannot withstand them any more. I have taken the resolution during the last fortnight to take away my life, as well as that of my wife, with whom I have been living thirteen years, as also that of my children. I have nothing to reproach her whom I hate made pass as my wife. I have nothing to reproach her with during her management. During the time that we have received together rot more than two women out of 100 would not have done. We have often had many quarrels together about things of no consequence, but always taken care of her child ren and of the household as well as I coned desire. It is with the greatest regret that lam about to commit the crime. If in every case I have strength enough for the end—for I have a daughter already 12, another 9 and the last 19 months old. I am going to try at all events to accomplish it ; and if there be a God, aa many of those Jesuits, who have by the sweat of our labours, wish us to believe, I should have permission, I believe, although in spite of my not having confess ed myself to them, to have an interview with Him, and that He will pardon me the fault lam about to commit—if in any ease one can so call it—thus to save me from misery; as we ll as my family. I cannot say any more, for it would be neces sary that I should pass in review all that has occurred during 21 years. I should require the whole night. It is now 11 o'clock in the evening. Forget me for ever, and if my poor mother still lives, do not strike her such a blow, for the poor woman has always done what she could to bring us up in a good way, as did our father, who is no more. My wife as well .as my children sleep peaceably whilst I am writing these lines—there is no thought what would happen to them. In writing at the address which lam going to put below, you will see how it has thus passed, and if there remain one of my children, do what you can to have it near you, for I have the conviction Thy brother is no more. " Loins BORDIIII. "Address, Mrs. Snow, 3, Millatead-terrace, Church. street, Old Bent-road, Lo ndon." " London, Sept. 1, 1867. " After having tried by every means, I have at last de cided to take away from me my life, that my poor mother had so much trouble to preserve, in order that the gentle. men of the jury who will trouble themselves about me may not return a verdict, as I believe it is said always, " this man is insane." I have all my faculties at the moment I write these few lines. As for the past, I have undergone during eight months that I have been ill the greatest of misery without complaint to any one, but seeing that I ran no longer ameliorate my position as well as that of my family, I have resigned myself to the fate to which I have condemned myself for this fortnight. I desire to have time and strength to accomplish my project, for I desire to leave no one behind whom people may some day reproach that his father was a murderer . If these few lines fall under your eyes, let my comrade at the workshop (boatel) know that he will gather the few articles which are at the workshop, and that be will keep them for himself, as well as a night-shirt, which he can go and get at the coffee-shop—the Leopard—which I left there laid Saturday.

The amendment was negatived by a very large majority, and the original motion for the adoption of the report and accounts was agreed to.

ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH CONPANY.—The report of the directors to be submitted to the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, to be held at the Loudon Tavern on Friday, says :—" The business of the present meeting is confined to the declaration of a dividend, in order that the warrants may be issued with as little delay as pos sible. It may perhaps, however, be necessary for the shareholders again to be called together during the autumn. It will be observed that the large sum of 206,3171. has been earned by the cables during the past year. Towards the close of the financial year the revenue has had to bear the expense of two accidents to the cable of 1866, both, it is believed, the result of crushing by icebergs. The last accident, now being repaired, occurred only four days before the 27th July. The Anglo-Ame rican Company have deducted 21,8061. lee. from the revenue in respect of these two events, and this charge not having as yet been agreed to by the Atlantic Com pany, has for the present been carried to a suspense account. Notwithstanding these large deductions, there remains to the credit of the revenue account a balance amounting to 28,1331 Ifie. 6d., and out of this the board propose to declare a dividend for the year ended 27th July ultimo, at the rate of 4 per cent, free of income tax, upon the fires 8 per cent. preferential stock. The di e atom of the Atlantic Company in pursuance of their poky, which met the approval of the share holders at at their last meeting, arranged an interview with the Anglo-American directors a few days after the end of the financial year, for the purpose of discussing a reduction of tariff. The directors of both companies present agreed upon a scheme to be recommended to their respective boards, and on the sth of August the Atlantic Telegraph Compare y wrote to the Anglo-Ame rican Company setting forth the proposed reduction of tariff, and grimily recommending its adoption. They are sorry, however, to state that these concessions to the pub lic were negatived by the board of the Anglo-American Company. The Atlantic Company have also subsequently failed in their renewed endeavours to induce the Anglo- American Company to unite with them in the adoption either of the proposed or any other practicable form of reduction." MODERN NOVELR.—There can be no doubt that a singular change has passed upon our light literature. It is not that its power has failed or its popularity diminished— much the reverse ; it is because a new impulse has been given and a new current set in the Hood of contemporary story-telling. We will not ask whence or from whom the influence is derived. It has been brouslit into being by society, and it naturally reacts upon society. The change perhaps began at the time when Jane Eyre made what ad vanced critics call her " protest" againet the convention alities in which the world clothes itself. We have had many " protests" since that time. but it is to be doubted how far they have been to our advantage. The point to which we have now arrived is certainly very far from matis factory. The English mind in still so far torn.' that we do not discuss the seventh commandment with all that effu sion and fullness of detail which is common on the other side of the channel, though even in that respect progress is daily being made ; but them are points in which we alto gether outdo our French neighbours. To a French girl fresh from her convent the novels of her own language are rigorously tabooed • whereas we are all aware that they are the favourite r eading: of her contemporary in this zountry, and are not unfrequently even the production, with all their unseemly references and exhibitions of for bidden knowledge, of young women, moved either by the wild foolhardiness of inexperience or by ignorance of - thing that is natural and becoming to their condition. It is painful to inquiry where it is that all these stories of bigamy and seduction, those soi.clisant revelations of things that lie below the surface of life, come from. Such tales might flow here and there from one morbid imagination, and present themselves to us as moral phenomena, without casting any stigma upon society in general i but this is not how they appear. They have taken, as it would seem, permanent possession of all the lower strata of light lite rature. Above there still remains, it is true, a purer at mosphere, for which we may be thankful ; but all our minor novelists, almost without exception, are of the school called sensational. Writes who have no genius and little talent, make up for it by displaying their acquain tance with the accessories and surroundings of vice, with the means of seduction, and with what they set forth as the secret tendencies of the heart—tendencies which, aooording to this interpretation all point one way.— Blackutairs Magazine for Septemb er.i The cultivation of the choicest kinds of grapes hos become very considerable in Guernsey ea well as us Jersey.

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 3. The Ringdove, a gunboat of the third class, is to be launched at this dockyard tomorrow. Another attempt is, we hear, to be made to dislodge the wreck of the Boyne, a vessel that was sunk in one of the harbour channels many years ago. The Waterwitch, hydraulic gun vessel, got under weigh again to-day, for the purpose of trying her speed at the measured mile in Stokes-bay. The vessel itself will share the fate of the Vixen and the Viper, and be condemned as a sea-going craft, for, of the three, she appears to be the most unseaworthy ; but the authorities are determined to give the system by which she is propelled through the water the fullest trial, and every effort has been made on each trial to effect an improvement on the trial which pre ceded it. private letter from St. Vincent, dated August 7th, announces the arrival at that island of the Malabar, Cap tain Rich, one of the new ships to be employed in the Indian troop service. She bad steamed out from England at three-quarter speed, and bad averaged 12 knots an hour, having during the run mad* 14. Her engines, wh'ch were built by Messrs. Napier, of Glasgow, worked admirably the whole time. The Euphrates, a sister ship to be em ployed in the barns service, had previously arrived at St. Vincent, having also made an excellent pssugs. The Valorous, paddle frigate, arrived on the 6th, from the City 3 of Good Hope, en route to England. CHATHAM, Bier. 3. This afternoon the temporary repairs to the caisson which gave way at the entrance to No. 4 dock, on Saturday morning, were completed, in readiness for its ren oval from the dock entrance to one of the building slips, on which it will be drawn up, to undergo the re quisite overhaul and repair. Beyond the injuries already stated, the Beaoon, which was in dock at the time of the occurrence, is not believed to have sustained any image, but the accident will delay her completion for ass for some time. There L little doubt that this accident, which bad it occurred during the working hews of the yard must have been attended with great loss of life, will induce the Admiralty to substitute iron for wooden caissons at all the dockyard.. A party of non-oommiadoned officers and men of the 3rd battalion of the 60th Rifles arrived at Gravesend yes terday, on the hired troopship Clara, from Madras. The colonelcy of the 80th Foot has become vacant by the death of Lieutenant-General Young. Lieutenant H. It. Stewart, R.N., has been ap pointed a naval mail agent on the Southampton station. CHARTERING OF STEAMERS FOR THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEPITION.—The Admiralty agents at Liverpool con tinue their surveys and engagement of ships for the trans pmt service in connection with the Abyssinian expedition. The splendid steamer, Queen, one of the National Steam ship Company's steamers, has just been chartered for the transport service on the Indian side of the Isthmus of Sue.. The Queen is the second vessel belonging to the same company which hes been chartered by the Admiralty for the same service. The West India and Pacific Steam ship Company's steamers West Indian, Californian, and Bolivar have been accepted for the transport of mules on the Mediterranean side of the isthmus. The majority of the vessels at present will be ready for sea on the lOth met, The Bosphorus ea, was yesterday, in addition to the above steamers, taken up for the transport service. SINKING OF TWO STEAMERS IN THE THAMES.— Yesterday afternoon two steamers sunk in the Thames. The Condor is.a.) 645 tone, one of the fleet belonging to the North German Lloyd's Company, laden with iron and general goods, was coming up the river, and off the Surrey Commercial Docks she gut athwart a tierof vessels moored on the Rotherhitbe side. She came with such force on to the stern of a ship as to knock a hole in one of her plates below the water hue, causing her to commence filling imme diately. The captain, learning from the engineer that the water had nearly reached the fires, caused the ship to be immediately run ashore, where she soon filled, and at high water only her masts and funnel were to be seen. The other mishap betel the Druid steamer, Gl5 tons burden, which bed arrived from Cronstadt with a cargo of grain. In steaming up past Wapping she struck heavily on some thing at the bottom of the raver, apparently an anchor, which ripped open her plates and caused her to fill in stantly. As the sunk the crew escaped by the rigging. This will bee serious loss, as the cargo will be quite useless beton she out be raised. _ _ THE NORTH BRITISH RALWAY.—A meeting of the shareholders in the Carlisle and Silloth Bay Dock and Ikrilway,Company was held at the Town-hall, Carlisle, yesterday, Mr. J. D. Carr in the chair, to consider the effect of the new act of the North British Company upon the &Roth section of the shareholders. Mr. John Irving, one of the diroctors,who had, in the interest of the Moth shareholders, watched the progress of the bill through par liament, had prepared a statement of the case, which was now read to the meeting. It concluded by saying that " however hardly the creation of a permanent stock at an enormously high rate of interest might bear upon the ordinary shareholders, its pressure was much more unjust upon the Silloth proprietary (who bad no voice in the management), inasmuch as their interest was entirely de pendent upon the dividend declared on the ordinary North British shares." After hearing the statement read, the meeting adjourned till the 15th inst. THE CENTRiL WALLS EXTENSION RATLWAT.---. The half yearly report to the shareholders in this railway states that there has been during the past half year con siderable prageer made in the works of the line, which were ret rded by the long and severe winter. A portion of the railway was open to Garth in March last, and thence to Llanwrtydd, in May, being • distance of about 16 miles. The line is worked by the London and North Western Railway Company under a parliamentary agreement. The Liverpool borough coroner held no less than five inquests in one day on children who had been suffo- cated in bed by being overlain by their patents. SURREY SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Adams, Assistant Chairman.) Charles Jefferies, a respectable - looking young man, snr rendered to an indictment charging him with robbing his employer, Mr. Charles Bailey, the proprietor of the South- ampton Arms Tavern and Hotel, Surbiton. Mr. Oppenheim conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Lilley defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Robert Ozted, manager of the prosecutor's business , that the prisoner had been four years in Mr. Bailey's employ as barman. It was the practice of witness to empty the tills every hour, and finding considerable deficiency in the takings lately, he coal. rounicated with Inspector Armstrong, of the V division. Several half-crownswere marked in his presence and handed to him to be paid over the counter while the prisoner had charge of the bar. On Wednesday, the 214th of August, find ing only four of the half-crowns in the tills instead of five as there ought to be, the prisoner was called into the be; parlour ' and in the presence of Inspector Armstrong, charged with robbing his master. He denied it most strenu ously, but on searching him the missing half-crown was found on him. Inspector Armstrong said he received five marked half. crowns on the 2sth of last month from lest witness, and caused them to be paid over to the prisoner. He identified the half rcrown found on the latter as one of them. Mr. Lilley addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and called several witnesses to character, but a verdict of Guilty was returned. Mr. Oxted was recalled, and in answer to tbe deputy chairman, be said that for some time past the deficiencies had been at least 21. 10a. a day. The court sentenced the prisoner to twelve months' hard labour. George Amman, 24, surrendered to an indictment, charging him with stealing the sum of 4s. 11d. from the person of Margaret Sharpe in the Southwark police•court. Mr. Lilley defended, and Mr. Goddard prosecuted. The evidence of the prosecutrix went to show that on the afternoon of the 10th of July she was a witness in • case at the police court, which wan very crowded at the time. She was waiting near the door, when the prisoner and another Iman came to her side next her pocket, where her money was loose. She felt a tug at her dress, and on putting her band down discovered the prisoner's hand near her, and saw him drop some money. She put her hand in her pocket, and missi n g the 4s. 11d. she told the prisoner that he had robbed her. He denied that, and, with his companion, picked the money up, when Fenanm, one of the warrant officers, came up and took them both into custody. His companion wu discharged, but the prisoner was committed for trial. The prosecutrix and her witnesses were severely cross examined by Mr. Lilley, ►nd it was elicited that other persons were nearer to her th►n the prisoner, but she saw money drop from the prisoner's hand. Mr. Lilley addressed the jury at some length, and called a number of witnesses who gave the prisoner an excellent character. _ They retired to their room to consider their verdict at a quarter past one. At four o'clock one of the officers in formed the court that several of the jury were smoking their pipes on the roof of their retiring room, instead of consulting as to their verdict. The chairman directed the officer to order them down and perform their duty. The doors were also locked, and the jury were again in their room. At half past five they returned into court, and pronounced the prisoner Not Guilty. The prisoner was immediately discharged. THE POLICE COURT& MANSION•HOUSE._ A tall, shabby-looking man, who gave the name of Edward Butter, and who deaonbed himself ae • commercial tra veller, was brought before Sir R. Carden, who sat for the Lord Mayor, charged with having robbed a number of errand boys of property which they had been entrusted with to carry home to customers, in • very ingenious manner. Three cases were clearly established against the prisoner. On the 18th of August • lad named William Newman was taking home six pain of boots, value 71., from his employer, Mr. Sinnett, • bootmaker in Bishops/ate. street, when he was stopped by the prisoner, who told him a plausible tale of his being acquainted with his master, and that he had sent him after him for the parcel, and be was to go back and get a tote that was left out for him. The boy, being thrown off his guard, gave the pri soner the parcel and on his going back to his master the fraud was detected. The prisoner appeared to have car ried on a regular system of robbery of this descrip tion. In one care he succeeded in obtaining twelve pairs of boots, and every day almost, for some time past, complaints have been made to the police of robberies of this description having been perpetrated. The prisoner wee detected in rather an extraordinary manner. On Thursday evening • boy named Dicks was sent by his father, who is • tailor in the Commercial-road East, to take a coat borne to a customer, and he was going along Leadenball-street with the coat wrapped up in • parcel, when he met the prisoner, who began the old story about his having been sent for the coat, and that it was to be given to him, and he was to go back. The boy told him that he did not know him, and be should not let him have the parcel, upon which the prisoner pretended to be angry and snatc hed the parcel from the boy, and walked off. The lad followed him, and it happened that at this moment another lad, named William Newman, who had been robbed by the prisoner in a similar manner only a few days before, came up sod said that the prisoner was a thief, and although the prisoner sodas round to dodge the two boys they kept him in light till they met • policeman and gave him into custody. The police-constable who apprehended the prisoner said that he affected to be very indignant at his doing so, and, when he found be could not get away, he said he should Ilke to be taken to the police-station, in order that the matter might be "thoroughly investigated." (A laugh.) Sir R. Carden inquired how many more charges of the same kind could be established against the prisoner. The officer replied that four other boys were in attend ance, all of whom bad been robbed by the prisoner, under exactly similar circumstances, and be believed if be wes remanded that twenty charges could be proved against him. Sir R. Carden ohserved that there were already three clear cases, and he did not think it was necessary to take any others. It would be as well, however, that the par ties should be in attendance at the trial, in order that the court might know what sort of a fellow the prisoner was, and the extent of depredations that he had been com mitting. The prisoner, when asked what defence he had to make, merely said that some of the witnesses were mistaken in speaking to his identity. Sir R. Carden said he musk try and make the jury believe so. It was a most abominable thing for a man to go about robbing little boys in the manner he appeared to have done ; and he should commit him to take his trial at the Central Criminal Court upon the three charges that had been proved against him. MARYLEBONE. A tall, gentlemanly-dressed person, who gave the name of Alfred Norman, aged 21, address refused, was charged with stealing a diamond and ruby cross, of the value of 301., from Flora May, an " unfortunate." The prisoner had represented to prosecutrix that he was an officer stationed at Hounslow. He now said that he had given a wrong name, so that his friends should not know his disgrace. Mr. Johnson appeared for the prisoner. The account of the occurrence given by the prosecutrix was that the prisoner accompanied her to her residence, and when he left next morning she missed the cross. She also said that he gave her a bad half sovereign. Mr. Johnson addressed the magistrate at length, and said that he had elicited from his client that he had given a false name in order that disgraoe should not attach to his family, who were in a high position in society. He then dwelt upon the class of persons of whom the prose. cutrix formed one, and whether a jury would give credence to such evidence. Mr. Mansfield said he should remand the prisoner for a week. but would accept bail, two sureties in 25/. leach, or one in 501. The bail not being forthcoming, prisoner wu taken to the Howie of Detention. The Irish papers state that Corydon, the Fenian informer, has just been occupied for an entire day before • Dublin police magistrate, it is supposed making informa tions. The crown solicitor was present, and the informa tions, it is inferred, may possibly have some connection with his late English tour. _ _ [Advertisement.] BoLLOwAT's PILLS.

Worship, • solicitor, applied for a summons against the conductor of an omnibus running between Liverpool and Wevertree. Mr. Worship said that on the previous evening he was desirous of proceeding home as an outside pas senger, but there was no room, there being upon the out side the number of people the vehicle was constructed to carry. One of these, however, was a " checker" —• man employed to prevent fraud on the part of the conductors. He refused to quit his seat; and Mr. Worship, con tending that the "checker" is not • passenger within the meaning of the act, asked for a summons against the conductor for refusing to take him to Wavertree. The summons was granted. INTERESTINti GATHERING OF NON-UNIONISTS. The miners and ironworkers of Staveley (Derbyshire) have earned for themselves a wide reputation by the attitude they have taken in trade union matters. It is scarcely twelvemonths ago since • contest arose among them as to whether trades' unionism or the principle of free labour should prevail, and the result has been that the non unionists have snoceeded in conquering their opponents. This new state of things was brought about in • groat measure by the firmness and straightforward cm , duet of Mr. Markham, managing director of the Staveley Coal and Iron Company. The workmen, to mark their sense of the benefits, both pecuniary end social, which they have received through the effort, of Mr. Markham, have subscribed together and purchased a handsome testimonial, which was presen'ed to him on Monday evening in the presence of a very large and influential gathering of miners and employers of labour. The Duke of Devonshire, who was one of the speakers, said if he had thought the meeting would be considered as the celebration of a victory after • struggle between em ployers and employed, he should have thought it his duty to absent himself. The distinguishing feature of these proceedings was that they were met to celebrate the victory of good sense and good judgment on the part of the men in spite of bad advice liberally given them. He did not know enough of those who came into the district to pro duce change and discontent to impute bad motives to them ; but he referred to the fact that certain advice was given which, in his opinion, was bad. They (the workmen) found that it was to their interests to have no fetters upon their labour, and to work as they thought best for them selves. The result was that ;non-unionism prevailed sad acquired the preponderance. This was en event which de served to be known throughout the country. It was a proof that the workmen felt that there was no real an tagonism in the interests of capital and labour, and that where there was • will there was certainly • way for • good understanding between employer and employed. He trusted that this good understanding would loog continue, and that that day would be long remembered as one of the brightest and most remarkable that had ever occurred in the history of Staveley. EAST LONDON RAILWAY.—Mr. W. Hawes ' chair man of this company, has just issued a circular to the pro prietors, in which he states that the importance of the new Railway Companies Act, 1867. could not well be overrated, for it removed restrictions which had hitherto embarrassed the arrangementa of railway companies that had not dis posed of all the shares authorised by their acts of incorpo. ration. Previously to applying the provisions of the act, the directors had forfeited all unregistered scrip upon which instalments were unpaid, and resolutions with a view to the disposal of them would be submitted to the forthcoming extraordinary general meeting. He also stated that no debentures or bonds had been issued, and that the contractors had been paid in full to the 10th of August last, which was the date of the engineer's last certi ficate. The works were so far advanced that, if the shares not taken up were subscribed for, the line might be o pe ned from the Wapping station adjoining the London Docks through the Thames Tunnel to New-cross, and to the Wunction with the South London Railway, by June, 1868. hile those works were being carried on vigorously, those from Wapping to Whitechapel would be proceede d with, and there was every reason to ho for the successful pro gress of every part of the line. The cost per mile would not exceed 300,00 M., a sum very much below any other metropolitan railway.

The ordinary business of black doeskins, fancy mixtures, and union goods of all descriptions allow no symptoms of revival, and stocks of these are increuing. Bedford and woollen cords, which usually begin to move at this time, still continue flat, and low qualities of all sorts remain quite inactive.

MANCHESTER, Sepv. 3. The slightly better tone which was yesterday thought to exist in consequence of a steadier cotton market at Liverpool has not borne the test of a more thorough business day like thin, and except that the market is a little more lively in consequence of a more general inquiry than we have had lately, there is no change. This more thorough inquiry seems to have been merely the result of the supposed greater disposition to do business, but has really led to very little indeed. Country manufscturers coming to market this morning say they have found things as bad as they ever knew them to be, with prices only obtainable which would involve a considerable loss. In shipping yarns sellers report prices steadier, and a little more business doing at the very low prices of Friday, principally for China, but say that the Cal cutta houses are operating very sparingly, and are not disposed to buy except at very reduced rates. Home trade yarns, sellers say, are a little more settled and regular in price, but the very lowest rates of last week have to be submitted to where business is transacted. In this class of yarns the business of the day has nearly reached an average. Manufacturers say they have bought yarns at the very lowest prices touched since the cotton famine, and certainly on easier terms than they could afford to spin them in their own mills. The cloth • is without change. Though very little business has been done during the peat week in the ordinary course, et buyers making offers for large quantities have su oo to transferring some considerable stocks from sellers' ware houses for shipment at something under the lowest quota tions in the open market. These transactions would pro bably have extendedbut for a sudden check given by the latest telegrams from Calcutta, reporting further depres sion in that market. More business could have been done in India goods to-day on the same low terms, but the advices from Calcutta seems to beveled buyers here to suspend operations for the present. The buyers for Chins have now been in the market for some weeks, but have really not done much in aggregate amount. They appear to have been more employed in actively testing prices as they have slowly declined than in purchasing to any con siderable extent. Home trade cloths are again quiet slid depressed. Country manufacturers say they never wit. noosed so much caution displayed. The orders they re ceive even from first-class houses an restricted beyond all precedent, and, as a rule, may be reported at about one sixth in quantity the orders which would be given in • normal state of the market. Not only is very little bad ness doing, but prices are very depressed for this class of WOOLLEN.—Lazne, San'. 3.—The attendance at the cloth halls this morning has not been very numerous, although we noticed several buyer. from a distance being present, including the representatives of various London wholesale and mantle houses, together with a few from the more adjacent Warns. The transactions have not been ex tensive, and in most cases the parcels transferred have been small. In the coloured cloth all there has not been a great demand for any particular make, with the exception of tweeds, which still hold the first position in the market, although the inquiries are not so numerous as of late, and in many instances prices are much easier. Crating. and plain cloths have not been freely transferred, and have changed bands simply in cases of requirement. In the white market there has been a slight improvement in the business done in hair lista. Several moderately good parcels have changed hands in mrdium and better orbs. goods. The demand for beavers and witneys continues without much attraction, some fair transactions having taken place, especially in the former make. The thick melton trade is quiet. Prices as a rule have been well maintained. CORN.—licu., Sere. 3.—Weather, with the excep tion of a few hours' rain on Saturday last, ham been as favourable as possible for harvest work, and great progress has already been made ; most of the white corn in this district is cut ' and some portion already carried. Farmers generally are too busy to thrash, and but little has yet ap• peared on our local markets for sale.
