TO OUR READER& SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. A !ate edition of the ILepreas u publi.died every evening during the racing 111111A011, containing the results of the day's races. Wes► by week the disorganization in tho cot ton trade—the greatest manufacturing interest in the kingdom—becomes more strongly marked. It forms the most serious commercial feature of the day. The adversity of the cotton interest means un questionably a great diminution in the profits of the nation, for many other branches of business must be more or lees affected by it. Thu fact that the price of cotton is now higher than at any period since the year 1836, indicates the ettraor dinary character of the zrisis upon which we are entering. The subject is a most extensive one. The position and prospects of the supply, and their bearing upon the price of cotton, form but a portion of it. The condition of the manufacture itself, ae afiecting, firstly, the spinner and mane facturvr, and, secondly, the working classes, will soon be pressed forcibly upon public attention. Then the state of the foreign markets and the prospects of consumption might claim a chapter for themsch•es. All that we can do is to lay before our readers a few of the more salient facts. The total computed stock of cotton at Liverpool 1 on Friday was 711,900 bales, whilst at the cor responding period of last year it was 834,190. The I relative falling off in the stock of American is far more decided, the total of that growth now held I being little over four hundred thousand bales. 1 The importation of American being at an end, it is 1 evident that, wore the purchases to be continued at the rate witnessed during the last five or six i weeks, the whole of the stock of American cotton ' in Liverpool would be absorbed by the end of ' next mouth. This phenomenon, of course, will not occur, as the rapid rise in prices repels buyers ' for actual consumption, and even chucks the ardour cf speculators. Yet, as steady draughts un the Liverpool stock are quite I in the usual course at this period, peed ing ieplenislunent from the American source,. of supply, now exceptionally shut up, any falling d in those draught& merely serves to show how completely the trade is diverted from its ordinary path. The extensive introduction of the apeculati'.o element into the cotton trade is, per haps, the most noteworthy feature of all, se mark ing its increasing disorganization. It is observed that the present speculation for higher prices in cotton is being carried on to a very great extent by persons not regularly engaged in this branch of business. It would almost appear as if many of the legitimate traders retreated gradually into a secondary position as soon as political uncer tainties began to overshadow ordinary commer cial calculations. This is just the point at which the speculator rushes in. The atmosphere of gambling in which he thrives, and finds Ins facul ties quickened to their utmost power, paralyses the steady trader, and brings his transactions to a standstill. The latter declines the risk which the former makes it a business to assume. It is not only the raw material that is attracting an extraordinary amount of speculative attention. In addition to the operations of the local capitalists--and their number is great because it is less of a fashion in those parts than in the metropolis to live up to or beyond one's income—money has flowed to Man chester,fur investment in the matnefact.erni article, from London, Liverpool, and many other parts of the country. It appears, too, that the mania has seized some of the spinners and uutuufacturers themselves, who, quitting their legitimate walk, have let themselves run extensively into stock, as the phrase is. This signifies manufacturing on speculation, instead of to order; and its risk is aegravated by the fact that such operations stand already upon the insecure basis of a very high price of the raw material, produced by artificial causes. The first impulse to the speculation in the manufactured commodity arises from the general resort which is now being had to " short time " in the mills, and from the pro spect that the excessive and still increasing coat of the raw material will yet cause a great curtailment in the production of goods. The market for these, like every other, is of course affected by the varia tions in supply and demand ; and it is argued that, as the supply falls off, the prices of existing goods must rise, particularly if cotton continues to rise also, thus putting it absolutely out of the power of mannfacturers to produce hereafter goods at the prices current now. But then arises the very im portant question of the effect which all this may have in checking the consumption of our manu factures abroad. The nearer foreign markets refuse to respond to the rise in Manchester, and the ad vices from the more distant markets have long been very unfavourable. There can be no doubt that many of these, particularly the Indian, are largely overstocked ; and the returns from some quarters do not cover prime cost, to say nothing of profit. Home speculators in the manufactured article have, therefore, to bear in mind even the contingency of a return of goods from India. If the prices of goods are pushed up too fast at Manchester, it may become cheaper to fetch tlat in back from distant parts, the coat rat• withstanding. At the same time, it may be argued that it is safer to speculate in the manufactured than in the raw commodity, because the prices of the former are now far too low in relation to the latter. The difficulty experienced from this cause by spinners and manufacturers desirous of carry ing on their business on legitimate principles has latterly become greater than ever. An eminent firm pits out that, during the past month, the rise in time price of cotton has been 12 or 15 per cent., and that in yarns and goods only 5 to ~.~. THE E4CPREBS, MONDAY iirEmicy' OCTOBER 7, 1861. I 8 per cent. As millowners worked at a disadvantage before, they must be working now l in many instances at a considerable loss. Hence the more general adoption of " short time." Why Oils plan has not been carried out more lar4ely already is explained by Messrs. DC FAT and Co. : " A loss of 5 per cent. is the come " quence of letting machinery stand partially, be " bides the risk of losing hands who thoroughly " understand the particular work managed by " them." On every side the difficulties of the trade are increasing. Where producers have re delved instructions to make goods " to order," the excessive cost of cotton stands in the way. The future course of the price involves • risk which requires to be insured against in arranging the kilns of each fresh transaction. It has thus happened in not a few cases that manufacturers who are anxious to keep at work, and who have been offered orders, have preferred to refuse them on account of the risk. The importance of this element, and the growth of a feeling of gloom with regard to the prospects of the cotton manufacture, are shown in the circumstance that • number of mill-owners have gone in advance of the precautions required at the moment, and, instead of working " short time," have closed their establishments altogether. It will be apparent from these particulars, that whatever may be the course of affairs in America, upon which the future of the cotton trade almost entirely hiliges—whether there be a continuance of the war and of the blockade, or a truce, and re lease of the new cotton crop—difficulty is in store fur us at home. The former contingency signifies a very hard time for the entire cotton manufactur ing interest, and privation to the opera tive population during the coming winter a period of the year when scanty work and reduced earnings aro especially unwel come : whilst the second contingency would be attended with the collapse of a vast speculation, and probably with ruin to a large number of indi viduals. Speculation in cotton is no new feature, but has this year been pushed to an enormous ex tent, whilst the growing speculation in the manu factured fabric forms a new and serious phase. At some period there will be • most extraordinary convulsion in the cotton trade, which is already Ma remarkable state of tension. As regards this point it is important to notice that spinners and manu facturers must now be in an unusual degree hider pendent of the Liverpool market ; for, as Messrs. C. Fe Sox, and Co. point out, during the last three months they have taken cotton at the rate of 52,700 bales per week, against 43,744 bales weekly during the first six months of the year, and against an average delivery of 48,607 bales throughout 1860. Should the course of events render it inadvisable for them to continue to keep their largo stock, which they hold at high pr;oes, they are in a position to stand aloof from the Liverpool market for a considerable period. This may hereafter disarrange in no small degree the calculations of the speculators who are operating for still higher prices, and it would precipitate a tremendous fall in cotton were it possible for the American difficulties to be relieved. " This," observes the authority cited, "may hereafter " become • very important element in forecasting " the future" of the trade. Vie WC it estimated that the extent to which " short time " has at last been adopted involves at present • reduction of about 16,000 bales • week in the consumption of cotton. This would make • total saving of only about 200,000 bales during the rest of the current year. Further movement is being made, however, in the same direction. " Detrimental u this is to the working classes," observe Messrs. Du FAT and Co., "it is the only " step to prevent still greater disasters, for, by "reducing the production of goods, yarns, Arc., " these articles will rise in value, and an approxi " 'nation to the price of the raw material will be " attained, while a still more important point " will be secured—namely, economy in work " ing up cotton at • time when none is " arriving from America." This economy is cer tainly the more imperative if it be true, as another practical authority estimates, that the supply from India and all other quarters would probably not enable our mills to be kept at work for more than two days in the week on the average during the greater part of the next year. It would certainly appear that, thus far, we have not been by any means so thrifty as we ought. "It is worthy re " mark," observe MOMS. TAIIIIIAN and Roust, writing on xhe let inst., "that the export de " mend seems to be on the increase ; in the past " thirty-nine weeks the quantity actually shipped " from Liverpool, London, Hull, and outporte, "amounts to 481,130 bales, against 433,190 bees " in the same period last year, being equal to " 1,230 bales per week, while the deliveries for " home consumption, so far, show a falling off of " only 1,270 bales per week ; as yet, there fore, no progress has been made towards " economising supplies." This conclueon is susceptible of some little modification, however, inasmuch as the cotton delivered for home consumption, as we have already stated, cannot have been entirely consumed, an unusually large amount being held in hand by the trade.

Both sovereigns wore plain clothes. The Emperor was accompanied by the Duke de Montebello and General Fleury. Their Majesties proceeded from the terminus to the Palace in an open carriage, without any escort, the people shouting by the way, " Lung live the King—Long live the Emperor !" In the courtyard of the Palace the Zutiaves funned a double line. The Empress, with the Prince Imperial and her ladies of honour, awaited the Emperor and the King of Prussia in the vestibule at the foot of the grand staircase. On their arrival, the Empress advanced to the threshold. The King graciously kissed her hand, caressed the Prince Imperial, and afterwards offered the Empress his arm. Their Majesties then ascended to the imperial apartments. The staircase was lined on both aides by the Ceut Gerdes. This evening there will be a grand dinner. A hunt by torchlight will afterwards tako place. TURIN, Ocr. 5.

In this allocution the Popo deplores the great evils brought upon the church by the Sardinian government. He recalls " the violent expulsion of the Archbishop of Naples, the exile and imprison went of other bishops and priests, and the sup pression of convents, as well as the spoliation of the religious orders, whereby the members of the Millie bad been reduced to misery." His Holiness further complains of "the profana tion of churches, of the schools having been de prived of religion, and of the license of the press." He also deplores the state of things in Naples, " where cities and villages have been burnt, and honest ecclesiastitz and many citizens arrested and massacred, notwithstanding the declaration of the Sardinian government that the church is free." The Pope afterwards mentions the acts of vio lence committed in Mexico and New Granada against the church, and praises the constancy of the catholic episcopate and the generosity of the faithful towards the Holy See. His Holiness also commends the Roman people for their devotion to the temporal government of the Papacy. ROME, Ocr. 4. At the reception of the Siamese ambassadors by the Pope, the former, in a speech addressed to his Holiness through an interpreter, said that they had been sent by their sovereign to express his veneration for the head of the religion which was preached in Siam by zealous missionaries, and to assure his Holiness that the catholic religion would always be protected in that country. The Pope, in his reply, desired the ambassadors to thank their sovereign for the protection he had granted to the catholics in Siam, where, he was happy to learn, the missions were making pro gress. _ _ The ambassadors then offered the presents which had been sent to his Holiness by the King of Siam. NAPLES. General rumours haring been in c 'rculation at Naples that a demonstration against the French occupation of Rome would take place on Tuesday last, General Cialdini addressed the following letter to the commander of the National Guard : Naples, Sept. 30. A manifestation is being prepared for to-morrow in this city with the object of accelerating the solution of the Roman question. I cannot permit this ; for by so doing we should delay rather than hasten that solution. I have made use of the moat efficacious means of persuasion, even to entreaties, that it may be avoided ; but if in spite of all it is obstinately persisted in, I am equally resolved to pre vent it, and to repress it by all means that the law allows. Italy has need of calm, of the calm which has already done so much fur the greatness of the nation, and without which the past and the future would be ruined. The people of Naples especially want tranquillity. Order is necessary to allow the workmen to progress in their works; whoever disturbs it is the enemy of the country. Will you, thee, Illustrious general, communicate these sentiments' to the National Guard, which has deserved no well of the eouutry, and I am sure its known attitude and firmness will once more succeed in preserving order in this city. The General of the Army, CIALDINI. The above appeal was perfectly successful, the lit of October having passed off very quietly. NAPLES, Oct. 5, ErINDICI. It is believed that the remnant of the reactionary bands lately disembarked have been able to effect their escape by re-embarking.

Faye : We are enabled to give very interesting details of the action at Lexington, Missouri, where, after four days' ' bud fighting, the gallant Colonel Mulligan was compelled to surrender to a forte which outnumbered his brave garrison eight to one. For fifty-nine hours )he men bad not a drop of water to quench their thirst, the enemy having cut them off from the ricer, and all the wells and springs in the town being dried up. Previous to his surrender Colonel Mul ligan offered to take his army out to • level piece of ground, and fight the rebel general in the open field with the odds of four to one against him, but the challenge was declined, and capitulation became an inevitable necessity. The gallant commander, Colonel Mulligan, is said to have wept like • child when he found himself compelled to surrender, and it must hove proved a bitter trial to him and the undaunted fellow. whom he commanded. The game journal of the previous day says : General Prentiss has despatched to St. Louis a statement of the surrender, which reduces the loss on both sides con siderably below the first reports. The latest accounts from Lexington previous to the an nouncement of the surrender report the movement' of rein' forcenients to sustain Colonel Mulligan, both by land and water. The steamers White Cloud and Des Moines went up the river on the 2lst, with three regiments, to assist the garrison at Lexington ; and a force of 3,5&t) men had left St. Joseph Chilicothe oe the lsth instant, for the unto point; but it appears that none of their reinforce ments arrived in timo to save the garrison, which undoubtedly was compelled to yield to the immensely supe rior fcrce of the rebels. It is said that the cabinet expressed considerable surprise and some indignation that General Fremont did nut reinforce Colonel Mulligan, as he has plenty of men at his command. General Fremont is re ported now as about to take the 6old in person against General Price. Vie following i 9 the official report received from General Fremont : St. Louis, Sept. V.—Nothing since my despatch thie morning, announcing the se-render of Lexington. Our loss in 39 killed and 120 wounded. The loss of the enemy 1,•100 killed and wounded. Our non•commiasioned officers and privates wore morn not to bear arms against the rebels, and released. The commissioned officers are held as prisoners. Our troops are gathering around the enemy. I will wind from the field more details in a few days. The Sf. Louis Republican publishes the following statement : The fort was surrendered on the 201. h September. The men fought for fifty-nine hours without water, and had only three barrels of vinegar to quench their thirst. There were breastworks all round the camp, with the exception of the portion next the river. It was here that the hardest fighting took place. The rebels procured a large number of hemp bales, and rolled them in advance, and under their cover gradually succeeded in securing a position in the rear. They then cut off the supply of water, and had the fort completely surrounded, They made but few charges upon the breastworks during the entire siege. Their object seemed to be to surround the fort, and cut off the supply of water, and having succeeded in this they waited until Colonel Mulligan was compelled to yield to • foe more terrible than the 27,000 rebels who surrounded hint. Au Unmans. amount of gold, supposed to be about a mil. lion of dollars, fell into she possession of the rebels.

(FROM ova OWN CORRZSPO:CDENT.) PARIS, SUNDAY EVENINU Some of the French journals have sent special correspondents to Oompihgne, but they are likely to find very little to write about.

There is a talk of some pheasant shooting in the preserves, but there will be no grand stag hunt. All the rumours from Compiegne tend to confirm the assertion which the Berlin journals have been at great pains to impress upon the public mind, that the King's visit is of an " essentially private character." Some of the CompiNgue tradesmen had hung the Prussian flag from the first floor windows, but they have been ordered to take it down ; and the decorations intended to be made on the road from the railway station to the chateau, and for which the municipality had voted a con aiderable sum of money, are countermanded. The Pays, which yesterday announced as "latest news" that the visit of the King of Holland was postponed, now says under the same heading, and, of course, with equal authority, that no change has been made in his Majesty's arrangements. All the government journals contain paragraphs affirming that corn is cheaper in all the great pro ducing countries, and that the price of bread in Paris—now lfr. the 41b. loaf—cannot fail to be re duced very soon. The Marseilles journals state that the case of the King of Italy e. the King of Naples, which was set down to be heard on October 19, stands over till the end of the month to suit the convenience of M. Berryer, who is retained for Francis 11.

His cousin and competitor for the throne, Priuco Rambousalem (sic), had. been murdered, and the Queen's old privy councillor R311781111Z, the head of tho Malgache party, had been got rid of iu the liko way. The new sovereign is reported by French 'correspondents to be very favourably disposed towards France. The Mouiteur de I'lle de la Reunion gives credit to a report that he has solicited the protection of the Emperor Napoleon. Several French merchants established at Tamatave have gone to Emyrue, where the king resides. Tho French Amlemy proposes to givo a special prise of 3,000 fr. for the best essay on the following sub ject :—" The necessity of conciliating, in the critical history of literature, the improved sentiment of taste and the prin ciples of tradition with the learned researches sod historic intelligence of the genius of different ',copies."

Said army during the campaign of MS, made au ascent at Florence the other day in the balloon which he used for field service. It is vary simple, the requisites casuist* simply of an iron stove (like those used in Germany, only having no pipe), which might be carried on one mule the balloon itself (apparently of linen) packed in the ear would not overload a second. To fill these about half a load of straw was consumed, and in half an hour the ie. Elation was complete. The scene when the balloon roes was very amusing, the Italians clapping their hands like children, and uttering little truisms with pleasing simplicity. "Ah ! now it is round !" " The rope's cut ; it will mount on high !" " Ah, bravo! As it ascends it seems to grew km!" M. Goddard descended in safety near Fiesole. In Friday's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies at Vienna, the Minister of State, M. de Schinerliog, entered into a statement respecting the unsatisfactory results of some of the colleges of the Jesuit. in certain parts of Austria, and concluded, amidst loud cheers from the lefts by stating that for the future the exceptional favours awarded to those institutions would be 'Wished, and that they would be subjected to the rules applied to other religious corporations.
