Ma LONDON, MONDAY, OCT. a Tim rather remarkable changes presented by the last ri.tnin of the Bank of England have re called attention to the condition and prospects of the money market. A month or two ago, there was every probability of some pressure arising, the harvest having been placed in count:linable jeopardy. Had the bad weather 'sated a fortnight longer, the consequences would unquestionably have been very serious. The financial world took warning in time, and made due preparation ; and to this circumstance is principally due the compa rative ease which has been experienced during the last few weeks. It would appear that the demand is now him-aging. owing to a variety of circum stances. There is no doubt that, although we bare escaped a failure of the harvest, we shall con tinue to import grain largely. This is already telling upon the exchanges. On the one hand, the Continental exchanges are drooping, and now allow of the re-exportation of all the gold that conies to hand, besides entailing a prospect of withdrawals from the Bauk. At the same time, the Ameriemi cichiuwe is declining, wider the in fluence of increased shipments of corn, and of pre parations for the transport of the new cotton crop. These movements, besides tending to discourage, for the time, remittances of specie to this side, stimulate considerably the demand for money. Nor is it only here that these features are pre sented. There is more activity in most of the markets ou the Continent. It would seem as if the Emperor Heroines's repeated exhortations to the commercial classes to have confidence were not entirely ineffectual, or that the hope is now begin ning to be really entertained, that the revolution in Italy will not lead to any European embroilment. Trade, aecoiiiingly, is becoming more active, and capitalists are demanding a proportionate advance for the accommodation which they offer. At Paris the money market has become rather tight, and the terms in the discount market are now equal to those of the Bank of Francs, 3} per cent. The Bank of Vienna last week raised nu rate of discount from 5 to 5} per cent. ; and news was received on Saturday that the rate of the Ban% of Frankfort has been advanced from 2to 3 per cent. Any rise in the value of money abroad gists, of °owes, an unfavourable turn to the exchanges. Hitherto, owing chiefly to the superior activity of our trade, which is only par tially affected by political anxieties abroad, the rate of strawy here has been above that current ou the Continent The tendency of capital has therefore bceu rather to flow into than out of the country, wore especially as there is no appetite for foreign investments. But if the rates of dis count advance abroad, there will be • prospect of a similar alteration taking place here, in order that de, balance may be kept straight. This movement, therefore, together with its effect upon the exchanges, and upon the current of bullion, must be watched. The prospect of any sudden alteration in the rates of discount is perhaps to some extent diminished by the approaching payment of the dividends. The recent increase in the private securities in the Bauk of England Las not been cetank.alee ; and it is thus fear to infer that the dividend money has not been anticipated, or " dissounted," by the commercial public to the extent usually witnessed. The general market will, therefore, be the more freely supplied, and there will not he a necessity of borrowing much from the Bank. On the other hand, the Bank, regard ing the pubitiun of affairs from their own point of view, will not lose sight of the fact that the advances w!irch they make during the period when the transfer-books are shut having upon the pre sent beim leas than usual, they have the less coming back to them „when they pay the dividends. The really satisfactory point to be noticed in any discussions respecting the course of the money market is the absence of alarming elements. The deficieucy in our harvest is, happily, not greater than eau be supplied. We can afford to pay for all that is required, and foreign producers are only too glad t transmit hither a portion of their sur plus. The large excess in the production over the consumption of corn in America will operate as a powerful chock to the rise in the corn markets. It may be affianed with safety, then, that, if the de- wand for money increase, there will be no cause for uneasiness. There is nothing in a rise of half or one per cent. in the rate of discount that need trouble the legitimate trader. It is not a dearer but a disturbed money market that would embarrass him. As the harvest is nut a failure no cause for reel disturbance ought to exist. There are, it is true, scow arrangements in the discount market whieb tend to aggravate pressure when it arises, but we may expect these to be speedily corrected. It ought to lie our object to lasks every part of our financial machinery work as smoothly and as easily as 1.-wAiLle. The cotton manufacture of this country oon tinier to exhibit a marked degree of prosperity. During the last three or four weeks there has been a consideralde reaction from the previous declaim in the prices of manufactured goods. In saeN quarters the improvement is regarded es partaking too largely of a speculative character, more esp.- chilly as the production of goods and yarns is very considerable, aad is still being largely increased, as new manufacturing power is put to work. It mast be admitted, however, that there are no signs that the increase in the production has as yet sixoseded the &mad for oonsuniptii,n, for even duruij tl c dullest inontha of the year the accumis of stocks was nut important. It is remarked, too, that at present the spinners and manufac turers sr • nen: ly as deeply engaged beforehand as they have been at any period during the last few years. This fact greatly increases the probabi lity of pre. vs being well maintained up to the end of the year. Thee fax the producers appear to have had the solvantage over the shippers. The producer., o. . .rre Ldexan. Ut. FAY and Co., " care little about the result (of consign. " !yenta), provided " paid for their " and it must come home " markets are further " The accounts from India disOonreging highest degree, yet the "Wpm.* continue upon a comidembla seals. The length of the time which is required Ice the consignments to reach their destination is apparently relied upon, it being hoped that the Indian markets will have improved in the interval. There mess to be a good deal it risk in these calculations. Meanwhile the aid is, of course, to stimulate industry throughout our cotton districts, occasioning full employment, good wages, and a proportionately large consumption of revenue-paying articles of necessity, comfort, said luxury. The expansion of the corn trade with America is already operating in the same direction. It is not doubted that the large orders for bread stuf . sent to the United States will be followed by increased activity in our own export trade. Con siderable preparations are therefore being made by the cotton trade to supply the expected demand for spring goods far America. The prosperity of the consumers—i.e., the manufacturers—of cotton, is materially due to the abundant supply of the raw material A good deal of anxiety had been felt with regard to the position of the holder of cotton—the intermediate agent between the producer and the consumer. Last year's crop of cotton in America was the largest ever known, having reached about 4,675,000 bales, or 828,000 bales beyond that of the previous year ' • and of this large excess no less than 740,000 bales remained at one period in stock in Liverpool—that is to say, we held on speculation 740,000 bales of cotton, worth six or seven millions sterling, more than we held at the corresponding period of the previous year. Had any disturbance arisen in the money market much inconvenience might have been occasioned to the holders. During the month of July there was, indeed, scarcely any fixed price for cotton at LiverpooL The price was regulated mainly by the necesaities of the seller. Considerable as:fi at:es had, consequently, to be submitted to by weak holders who could hold no longer. It is satisfac tory to remark that the stock has since run down rapidly. The computed quantity in Liverpool now is 834,000 bales, so that the axons, as compared with the corresponding period of lest year, is re duced to a little more than 250,000 bales. Seve ral circumstances have combined to relieve the holders. In the first place, there has been an in creased demand for exportation, the total disposed of in this way this year being 443,064 bales, against 274,841 bales to the corresponding date in 1859. Secondly, the consumption by the trade has expo. risnoed a marked increase, the quantity taken in the forty weeks of the present year being no lams than 1,944,200 bales, against 1,675,740 in forty weeks of 1859. Thirdly, • much larger quantity has been bought on speculation. Fourthly, the very low rates current for cotton here have given a check to the shipments from India. The last week's reports from the manufacturing districts are satidactory. At Manchester, the market is stronger. The stocks of India goods are reduced or cleared off, and there are orders in advance. A good effect is also produced by the increased confidence which is observable in com mercial circles on the Continent. Transactions for that quarter are entered into with less hesita tion. In the woollen districts, business baa been of scarcely the average extent. Support is given, however, by the increasing orders for the American trade, as well as by orders for yarn from RUMill. From Nottingham and Leicester the accounts are more cheerful than those lately received. The hosiery trade is described as sound, and there has been a better supply of orders. The linen trade is rather dull, being affected by the weather. In the hardware branch, a good steady business con tinues to be done, and manufacturers, whilst keep ing their people at work, are not adding to their stocks. There are still complaints of slacknaes in the iron trade, but the ironwaaters have deter mined not to alter their prices. The usual quar terly meetings in this trade will take place during the present week. go oat tO-dity.

An entrenched camp of 20,000 chosen troops, etimu lated by rewards, were protected by or protected these works. Maddaloni formed the basis of Garibaldi's opera tions. His left wing extended from Santa Maria to Averse, and was protected by a deep canal,which intersects this part of the country. Major Corte, with the volunteers from Basilicata, occupied the position at Averse, and General Millets commanded at Santa Maria, which was strongly fortified. The head-quarters were at Caserta. The right wing ex tended from Dontici to San Salvatore ; the former extremity being held by General Maio, the latter by San loner°. Mont San-Angelo, which com manded the course of the Volturno, formed the key of Garibaldi's position, and was the object of his own especial attention. No less than twenty guns were placed on this height. On the evening of the 30th ult. there was great agitation amongst both armies, and everything announced that early next day some decisive action would take place. Accordingly at 6 o'clock on Monday last 15,000 royalist troops, of whom 5,000 were cavalry, marched out of Capua under the command of General Palmieri. General Nigri commanded the artillery, which consisted of five batteries. General Rituoci acted as commander-in-chief. At the same time a body of 5,000 marched upon Maddaloni, with a view of taking the Garibaldians in the rear and cutting off their retreat. Another force numbering 1,000 left Piaua with a view of crossing the Volturno, below Capin°, and debouch ing, by San Lucie. At half-past 6 a sharp fire of musketry ,began, which was soon drowned in the louder roar of the artillery. By 8 the Neapolitans under General Ritneci had pushed their way up to Santa Maria ; but whilst executing this movement, Garibaldi sent from San Tamara, on his left, the regiment of Malenehini, ordering it to peas by Santa Maria and occupy the ground which the royalists had to traverse. The royalists were thus placedbetwecn two fires, and being shut in by the railroad and the highway, they suffered severely. The 7th Royal Regiment of Chassears were entirely destroyed except 36 men. Three times the position of the Garibaldians was taken and retaken at the bayonet's point. The combat was bloody, fierce, and obstinate, and but little quarter was given on either side. The sword or bayonet often completed what the gunshot wound left imperfect. The day was a magnificent one, and, with the exception of the rattle of the musketry and the roar of the cannon, the fight was carried on on both sides without any shouting or uproar. At noon victory began to declare itself in favour of the Garibaldians. Fresh battalions and artillery arrived from Caserta and Naples, which took part in the action. At the beginning there were only 10,000 Garibaldians engaged, but by these new arrivals they wore augmented to 15,000. Garibaldi himself was everywhere watch ing the various phases of the combat, and prepared with 2,000 men, whom he had in reserve, to throw himself into Caplan the moment the opportunity should present itself. Behind the heights of Maddaloni, where BiXiCI commanded, the fight was also desperate. The royalists had several time" taken the position, but they were as often beaten back. The Affanti column prevented the royalists from crossing the river at San Lucie, whilst Colonel Corte with the Lucaniau and C;labrian volunteers supported the combatants at Santa Maria and checked the royal troops, who tried to force their way by San Tamar% on which aide the Garibaldians Lad been weakened by the movement to the right of General Malenchini. rive guns were taken, and numerous wounded prisoners were brought to Santa Maria, whence they were sent to Caserta by the railway. A great number of officers were wounded or killed. Colonels Diunie and Corrao were wounded early in the fight. The Anglo-Sicilian battalion, commanded by Colonel Dunne, suffered terribly, but the officers never quitted their posts. The battery of Sae Angelo suffered severely. The fields were strewed with the wounded, the dead, 40 dying. At two o'clock the Garibaldians resumed the offensive, and at six the Neapolitans were driven across the Volturno, and entered Capua in precipitation. On the heights of Caserta 2,000 prisoners were taken, with their arms and baggage. The Petrie mentions that a corps of Bavarian', which had got separated from the royal troops, were pursued into the bills above Caserta Nueva by Bixio and a troop of Calabrians. It was re solved to give no quarter, the Calabrians being urged on by a spirit of vengeance against these foreigners. In the midst of the fight, they are said to have thrown away their muskets as too cumbersome and rushed upon the enemy, whom they poigniuded to the cry of " Viva l'ltalia." The correspondent of the Preen says :—" At Santa Maria a squadron of hummers or dragoons was literally annihilated by a discharge of grape. The number of prisoners is very great. Some esti mate them even as high as 6,000. The lose of the Garibaldians in wounded has been con siderable, but the deaths are proportionately few. Cu!. Spaugaro distinguished himself greatly, having retaken all the positions which the royalists had forced and raptured seven of the guns. The Hun garian hussars displayed great bravery, having twice rode down the royalist infantry in the midst of a storm of bnaets." The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa estimates that 20,000 efßictive troops were engaged on the King', side and 12,000 on the Garibaldian. Thu lout of the former in killed and wounded was 3,000; of the hitter 1,230. King Francis H. was hinisett present at the battle in plain clothes, and was seen several times where the battle raged. Garibaldi was, as usual, in the thick of the fight. According to the correspondent of the COI Witutionnel, it was the division of General Bizio which decided the victory is favour of the Garibaldiana It was reported et Naples that Garibaldi had entered Caput, and illuminations wore ordered to celebrate the event ; but it does not appear that this report has been confirmed. The Turin correspondent of the Das* states, on what he calls good authority, that the advanced made 1 THE COMMAND IN CHIEN OF THE ITALIAN ARMY. The Opinions of Turin of the sth says : "The King takes the command of the army to complete the great enterprise of the foundation of a strong kingdom—the kingdom of Italy. This generous act of the monarch will accelerate the completion of the work by the unity of command, and turn to the best purpose the great results ob tained in Southern Italy by General Garibaldi, and by the bands of volunteers who henceforth will be part of the Italian army.

According to advioes from Bucharest Prince Couxa has appointed a diplomatic agent to Turin. It is believed that the Porte will protest agailst this appointment, because it has always claimed the exclusive right of representing the Danubian Prin cipalities in for. ign countries. CHINA. ST. PETERSBURG, Ocr. 7. Advices have been received here from Pekin to the commencement of July. The insurrection in China was gaining ground, especially in the eastern maritime provinces. The militia had been called out in Pekin and its envi rons. Discontent prevailed everywhere. Provisions of all descriptions were exceedingly dear. Commerce was stagnant. The inhabitants of Pekin were favourably dis posed towards the English, and desired their pre sence at Pekin. This was caused by reports that the English who disembarked at Pecheli had not illtreat,d the natives. A corps of 6,000 men had been despatched from Pekin against the English ;10,000 soldiers had been sent in another direction. A report was current at Pekin that the Emperor would pins the winter at Moukden. The Emperor's thirtieth birthday would be cele. orated by festivals at Pekin.

I have been to Vinoennes to-day to see the open. ing of the national shooting match—Tir Nations!, at it is:called—for rifles, fowling-pieces, ordinary muskets, and bows and arrows. There was nothing like excitement about the matter in Paris, and scarcely any in Vinoennes. I went down in an omnibus, in which my only travelling companions were three old ladies—a pretty plain proof that the general public takes but little interest in this imitation of the Wimbledon meetings. At 10 o'clock,the hour appointed for the commencement of the shooting, there were not more people in Vincennes than may be seen on any ordinary fine Sunday. The ground selected is a portion of the plain nearly in front of and very close to the fortress. A tem porary wooden building of considerable length has been erected for the accommodation of shooters and spectators. The public pay lfr. for admission. Those who desire to shoot must pay a minimum fee of Mr. for five shota,and competitors for the grand prize of 10,000 fr., must invest 50fr. for their chance, and for that sum they only get five shots. Rifles are furnished, but people may bring their own if they choose. There are upwards of SO targets placed at a distance of 170 yards, and visible only through a succession of square holes about two feet in diameter, cut through a aeries of some dozen rows of wooden palings. This arrangement is made, I presume, in the interest of public safety, since every wide ball must necessarily lodge in some one of the rows of palings, unless it reaches the goal on a level with the target, and then, in case of failing to hit, it will be received by an earth embankment just behind. During the two hours that I watched the proceedings this morning, only a very small proportion of the target holes were occupied. The principal firing was kept up by national guards and troops of the line shooting with their ordinary weapon, which is the old musket riled. Some amateurs, among whom was Jules Gerard, the famous lion killer, fired shots, few and far be tween, from the compartments allotted to rifles, or mesa de precision. Some of these weapons were to the eye of an ordinary observer very com plicated and clumsy pieces of machinery, and the immense time taken in cleaning, loading, sighting, adjturting,and levelling themouggested the idea that in the hurry and excitement of real warfare they must often be of little use. I saw two or three Britishers walking about with rifles slung on their shoulders, and no doubt waiting for. their turn, but the "many English officers in uniform," spoken of by the press entirely escaped my obeez vation, and I much doubt if any were present to day. The only uniform I saw besides those of the troops and national guards engaged in shoot ing was that of Glen. Guiod, the president of the shooting committee. Possibly the thin attendance of Englishmen may be accounted for by the fact of its being Sunday. There are, I know, some " glorious volunteers" in Paris, who have brought their uniforms with them, and I dare say some of them will show at Vincennes in the course of the week. The shooting is to go on till the 18th, ' from 10 till 5 every day. There is ample provi sion for eating and drinking in • restaurant fitted up within the building. Ido not think that the exhibition will become very popular among the Parisians. They like spectacle, and it does not suit their genius to wait quietly for hours to see who beet hits a mark. Moreover, the position allotted to the public is such :hat even those who might take an interest in the matter can see nothing worth looking at. They are too far re moved from the space to which alone those who shoot are admitted to hear the names of the com petitors, or to know whether the mark is hit or not. The exhibition may possibly become more attractive when the newspapers come to speak of it ; but to-day the general public was scarcely represented by so many as a score of individuals at • time. trio* ova ous owl 0031 BEYROUT, Sam 24. In my last letter, dated the Slat instant, I announced that many, if not moat, of the prin• cipal Druse sheiks who had been summoned by Fuad Pacha to come to Bey rout had arrived. All these are now under arrest, or, at least, are detained in the large barrack-square, where each has a room and his servant to wait on him, until the trial of the whole can come off. The proceedings by means of which Fuad Pacha arrested them were altogether Oriental. They came down without any guarantee, either implied or expressed, regarding the future, many no doubt thinking that they would be very lightly dealt with as regards the past. Fuad Pacha would not speak to or see them until they had all assembled in one of his large tents. The Christian sheiks and others who had also assem bled at Fuad's call, were ordered into another tent. Every ono—even those in the Pacha's confidence-- was under the idea that a grand couference between the two sedlia Wad to take plasm ; but not so. When all were assembled, the tent containing the Druse sheiks was quietly surrounded by a battalion of Turkish troops under Ismael Paella (Enmity, of Kars), and the inmates were told by an official that they must at once proceed under the guard into the barrack square, about 30 yards off. It was a ticklish moment, for the sheiks had all brought down large bands of armed retainers with theca, so muck so that there must have been some three hundred fighting men standing with their horses close to the barracks, between the latter arid the tents; but not a hand was moved. Kmoty had under him one of his tried battalions, and the very look of his own long moustache shows be is not the sort of man to be trifled with. Once that the retainers had seen their chiefs marched into the square, they were told to betake themselves off to the moun tains, one servant being allowed to remain with each chief. The Christian sheiks and chiefs were then told they might go, but that they must remain in or near Beyrout, so as to be within call when wanted. Altogether the affair was admirably managed, and reflects the greatest credit upouboth Fuad Pacha, who planned, and K.mety, who carried out the scheme, without the slightest disturbance or bloodshed. As a matter of course, there are some who have a good deal of pity for these arrested sheiks, but I cannot see how brad Pacha could have acted other than he has. The sheiks came down here without the slightest guarantee of any sort ; they were merely summoned to come. They stand accused, many of them, of actually inciting the fear ful massacres of Deir-el-Kamer, Hsahbeya, amid Rasheya ; others--all--of being cognisant of these horrors before they took place, and of doing nothing whatever to prevent them ; of being, in short, what lawyers call accessories before the fact. There can be no doubt but that they came down— er many did—under the impression that English " protection" would see them through it. They were very quietly undeceived, by our consul-general very properly refusing to receive Syud Bey Djoublat ou his arrival. Their trial cannot come off for some little time yet. Would it have been wise to leave these men at large to intrigue with the Moslems of the town, or to betake themselves to the mountain, where it would have been impossible to lay hands ou them again !
