MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS--YESTERDAY. T;10 Ribt Illdian Railway Company has notified, .that having nearly completed the work for which its river transport flotilla was constructed, it is pre- Pared to accept tenders for all or any portion of it.

An extraordinary meeting of the London and Nome 'Counties Discount and Advance Company (Limited) is called for the 26th inst., to confirm the resolutions passed at the meeting on the 27th ult., which provide, amongst other matters, for accepting the resignation of the then chairman and directors, and for increasing the capital by the creation of new preferential shares. The first general meeting of the Indian Tramway Company (Limited) is convened for the 28th inst. A private telegram of the Ist of November, a Week later than the accounts previously received, has arrived from Bombay with the important in telligence of a fall of 3 per cent. in the rate of exchange; the quotation being 2s. -id.

The Wellesley, with £136,500, is the only Aus tralian gold ship known to be now on the way to England. CITY NEWS ---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELTE O'CLOCK. The Money Market is rather quieter, the in quiries at the Bank of England as well as in other quarters being rather below the recent daily ave rage. The rates, however, continue to exhibit fir mness; the continuous flow of gold into the -nanik of England still encouraging, the opinion that an advance may shortly take place. The principal alterations exhibited in the Bank of England return for the week ending Wednesday last, are an important decline in the reserve of notes and stock of bullion, and a reduction in the other securities. Subjoined are the particulars : Active Circulation .. 120,312,330 Decrease .. 141,915 bullion .. 15,164,571 Decrease . 224,952 Rest ** 3,098,827 Increase 5,169 P ublic Deposits * 7,3 54 , 390 Increase .. • • • .. 426, 343 Other Deposits.. • .. 14,004,016 Decrease • .. 734,132 Seven Day and other Bills .. .. 767,862 Decrease .. • 12,863 Government Securities • • No alteration. 11,113,992 Other.

The half-yearly report of the East India Irriga tion and Canal Company, just issued, gives a satis factory account of the past six months' operations.

THE WAR IN AMERICA. NEW YORK, Nov. 10, EVENING. General M.Clellan has been relieved from the Command of the army of the Potomac, and General Burnside has been appointed his successor. General M'Clellan has virtually retired from ac tive service. A correspondence between General Halleck and the Secretary of War has been published, in wh . ch the former states that he issued peremptory orders to General M'Clellan on the 6th of October to cross the Potomac and give battle to the enemy, or drive him South. General MieleHan refused to obey this order on the ground that he was short of supplies. General Halleck, however, states that General M'Clellan's requisitions were promptly supplied, and there was nothieg to pre vent him advancing. - • The - Harper's Ferry investigating" committee have censured General M'Clellan for marching only six miles a day in pursuit of the enemy. General Lee has evaded the 'Federals, so as to avoid fighting in the Shenandoah Valley, and is supposed to be at Gordonsville. It is reported from Lt;uisville that the Can federates under General Breckenbridge, 28,000 strong, have attacked Nashville on two sides. They were repulsed on the one side, but the result cf the attack on the other is not known. The divisions of General Rosencrans's army had arrived at Nashville. No confirmation has been received of the reported surrender of §,OOO Confederates at Plymouth, Caro • line, The draft in New York City has been postpont d indefinitely. Gen, BeaUregard has ordered all slaves and non combatants to leave Charleston. • The Hammonia, Glasow, and Bohemian had arrived out, Changes in the Cabinet are talked off. General M'Clellan's removal has 'caused consi derable excitement in the army, and among the people generally. All - Republican journals endorse the President's action. The New Fork World, however, thinks that Jefferson Davis could have no better aid — G(7n General M'Clellan's removal. The New 1 ork Herald thinks that the removal will be received with doubts and apprehensions by the Conserva: lives. TILE BEST CURE FOR THE HEARTBURN.—Marriage.-- Punch.

If there are sixteen nails in one yard, how is it that there ought never to be more than five nails to a foot. A QUESTION FOR Mn, MORPRY.—What kind . of men are most above-board ? Why, chess men, of course I—Fun. A man was recently convicted for stealing his neighbour's 6DW and hiding it in his cellar. It was a cowardly mode of cow .hiding. There are ties which should never be severed, as the M used wife said when she found her brute of a husbandhang in a hay loft. A man at Newcastle, who served four days on a jury, says he is so full of law, that it is hard work for him to keep from cheating somebody. The old joke is revived about the Scotch, " Why is Scot. land so destitute of trees? Because every Scotchman cuts his stick as fast as he is able."

Nathan, who owned three-fourths of the cargo and the cap tain's wife." A person was relating to a san:of the Emerald Isle how one of the generals had gained a victory, with only a few hundred men on his side, when Pat said—" An' be had soveral hundred men on his side ?"—"Yes," " Begorra, wasn't his ribs strong." A. little fellow, weeping piteously, was suddenly inter rupted by some amusing occurrence. He hushed his cries for a tr.on3ent—the train of thought was broken. " Ma," said he, renewing his snuffle, and wishing to have his cry out " Ma—ugh I ugh ! what Was I orying about just now 2" The natives of Australia are a simplerace, and their super stitions are curious. They believe that after death they re turn as white men. One of them, hanged at Melbourne,. said on the scaffold, "Never mind, I jump up white fellow with plenty of sixpence, A young lady once married a man by the name of Dust against the wishes of her parents, After a short time they, lived unhappily together, and she returned to her father's house; but he refused to receive her, saying, "Dust thou art, and unto Dust shalt thou return." A correspondent suggests that before any enthusiastic sets out to invent perpetual motion he should practice the trick of getting into a basket and lifting himself up by the handles. When he succeeds in the latter he may stand some chance of being successful in the former. The ydung lady who could read the following, and not " pity the sorrows of a poor young man," deserves to live and die an old girl : " I wish I were a turkey. dove, A sitting on your knee; I'd kiss your smiling lips, love, To all e-ter-ni-te,e." A young - girl was batrodnced to James I. as excelling even learned men in classical acquirements, " Well," said the monarch, "now tell me what this prodigy can do." He was informed that she could read and write Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. "Ah I" replied the king, these are rare attain ments for a maid. Can she spin also ?" " In carving a partridge," said Sidney Smith, "I splashed Miss Markham with gravy from head to foot; and though I saw three distinct rills of the brown liquid trickling down her cheek, she bad the complaisance to declare that not a drop had reached her." Such circumstances are the "triumphs of civilised life." THE NEW FIELD-MARSHALS. The following is a recapitulation of the services of the recently gazetted Field-Marshals :—His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge entered the army in 1837, with the nominal rank of colonel, and did duty with the 12th and 17th Dragoons and 33d Foot, and subsequently commanded the Dublin district. In 1852 he became colonel of the Scots Fusilier Guards. At the outbreak ~f the Russian war he proceeded with the Guards to Scutari, and subsequently commanded the first division of the army. He was in the thickest of the fight at the battles of Alma and Inkernsan, and in the latter his horse was killed under him. He was also present at Balaklava and during a groat portion of the siege of Sebastopol. On the death of Lord Hardinge his Royal Highness was appointed Commander-in -Chief—a post which he has filled wild the hearty approbation of the army and the entire satisfaction of the public. Viscount Gough commenced his military career in 1794, and served at the Cape of Good Hope against the Dutch in that year. Next year he was again fighting in the West Indies. In the Peninsular war he commanded the 87th Regiment at Talavera (where he was wounded), at Barrosa, Nivelle (wounded a second time), at Vittoria, and at the defence of Cadiz, where he was once more wounded. The 87th was fortunate enough to capture an eagle at Barrosa, and the baton of Marshal Jourdain at Vittoria. After a long period of comparative inaction, he was appointed to command the forces in China in 1842, and at the termination of hos tilities he was made a baronet and G.C.B. From 1843 to 1846 he was actively engaged against the Mahrattas and Sikhs; and the battles of Moodkee, Ferozeshah, Sobraon, and Goojerat will always be identified with his name. It was after the last-named battle that this gallant officer was created a peer. He was appointed to the colonelcy of the Royal Horse Guards in 1855, and specially proceeded to Sebastopol to distribute the honours so hardly won by the army. S r Edward Blakeney also entered the army in 1794 as cornet, -but he speedily changed into the infantry, and commenced an active career in 1796 in the West Indies. In 1807 he was present at the capture of the Danish fleet and surrender of Copenhagen, and in 1809 he served at the cap ture of Martinique. In 1811 he commanded the 7th Foot, and was presentat thebattles efßusaco, Albuera (in thelatter of which he was severely wounded), sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajoz (wounded a second time) ; and he was atso Vittoria, Pampeluna, the Pyrenees and Nivelle. Ina 1814 at 14he served at New Orlea ns , an d n ext year joined the Duke of Wellington's army in Belgium. He was com mander of the forces in Ireland for some time, and on being made Lieutenant-Governor of the Royal Hospital at Chel sea, was succeeded by' Lord Seaton. Sir Edward was ap pointed to the colonelcy of the Ist Foot in 1854. Lord Clyde commenced his military career in 1808, and with the 9th Foot was engaged at Vimiera and Corunna, Vittoria, St. Sebastian, passage of the Bidassoa, and was three times severely wounded. In 1814 he served in America with the 60th Rifles. In 1842 he served under Lord Gough in China, commanding the 98th Regiment. In 1848 he com manded armyon at Chillianwallah ; he of the Punjaub, under Sir Charles a N d a i p v i i e s r i n ando th f wa e s wounded wa s also present at Goojerat. I n 1851 an d 1852 h e was ac tively employed against the hill t r ib es , an d re t urne d to England only to proceed once more on ac ti ve serv i ce i n comma nd of the Highland Bri ga d e, with which he remained d ur ing the Crimean war , He had not been long at home before the Indian Mutiny broke out, and Lord Panmure, then Secretory of State for War, decided upon placing the appointment of Commander-in-Chief in India in his hands. The gallant old soldier made his decision at once. We be lieve the offer was made and accepted one afternoon in the private walk which leads from the office in Pall-mall to the Mall iu St. James's-Park, and that Sir Colin 'Campbell was on his way to India before 24 hours had expired. His dis tinguished services during the mutiny, for which he was raised to the peerage, need not be enlarged upon. Lord Clyde was appointed to the colonelcy of the Coldstream' Guards in 1860.

The night was intensely dark, but the Coastguard men heard the cries of distress, and inimediately put off in their own boat, but the sea was running so high and break ing so heavily on the bar, that they found it impossible to save the poor creatures. They therefore returned to the harbour as soon as possible, and gave the alarm. The life boat of the National Lifeboat Institution was instantly launched, and succeeded in saving two of the poor creatures from a watery grave. They were found to be quite ex-. hausted, and afterwards stated that they could not possibly have held on tang minutes 'longer, Unfortunately, how ever, one poor fellow had lost his life before he could be rescued, and had it not been for the prompt services Of the lifeboat the other two men must have perished. Soon after ei g ht o ' c l ock on Satur ß day KLOW morning a vessel was observed aground on the Arklow Bank, by the l° °lc.• ot}t of the Coast-guard Station. The lifeboat of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution W 9.8 immediately launched, a porti on o f the Coast-guard going off in her,as _ the sea was t oo rough to admit of the i r own boat g oing than out. The lif e b oa t reached the b ank i n littl e moresh an boats hour. Th e sea was then so hi g h th a t the fishing to aP ing (several of whi c h h a d gone out), coul d proach the vessel, but the lifeboat went lantly through the surf. On nearingnfoettharelawaarleycka nidt gal. was discovered that the crew had left her, and that wa t s c h n e was hopelessly lost, her bulwarks beinrghtleirewn that could be ascertained respect intently undera sh e was the a new vessel. This Sarah, of Port Glasgow, and appa ank 13 to which the lifeboat is the fourth wreck on Arklow siterhas been the means of saving has been out this year, placedand at Arklow. So great is the 25 lives since she shermen have in her that the only confidence which t w he m fi difficulty is what men to select as a crew when her services are required out of the number who are ready to volunteer.

Emma Livry is satisfactory, as the fever has almost entirely subsided, and in the opinion of her medical attendants all fear of danger has disap peared.

At a few minutes before five o'clock yesterday afternoon a fire broke out at William-street, Whitefriars, on the Mid dlesex side of the Thames. The premises destroyed are those of Messrs. Charles Price and Co., of William-street, Whitefriars, described in "Kelly's London Directory" as turpentine, resin, pitch, and ter manufacturers, and are im mediately behind the western side of Chatham-place.. closely adjoining the Temple, and within a few yards of the City of London Gas Company, whose gasometer at the time of the fire was completely full. It was a low tide when the fire broke out, and the oil from the factory ran out in large quantities on to the muddy bank. It soon took fire, and half the river appeared to be in flames; indeed, the flames rolled through the arches of Blackfriars-bridge, and curled over it, much to the dis— advantage of many persons who had taken up their position there, and apparently very much to the danger of the crazy old structure. At a quarter to C,. Campbell, Calder, and Govan's iron works took fire, and burned with tremendous fury. At t his moment the fears for the safety of the gasworks became heightened to a very great degree. The engines now continued to arrive in rapid succession, but the close proximity to the immense telescopic gasometer seemed to add a terror to the scene that seemed to damp even the courage and spirit of the fire brigade. The land steam engine of Messrs. Shand and Mason arrived in about 20 minutes after the outbreak of the fire, and in a very short time was got into operation, but the effect produced from the immense volume of water dis charged was imperceptible. hg e eh e rt s ,saa dangernt t s y h occupiedtime n f d r t o h. m e h r ee fewiwraa sorrifwvt well l l el g u o n t i t u h l n e t d e fi e n r r o m a ' and all cwk ear f te u n r i t ni casks of oil were got out of the burnin g this warehouses and rolled into William-st ree t ; b ut with exception the whole of the valuabl e s t oc k was consumed.lt is impossible to estimate the v a l ue o f the property destroyed, but it will probably amou nt to £ 40,000- or Lo0 5 • Messrs. 000 Price were insured, but the loss will, it is expected, far exceed the amount of the insurance, Price These warehouses of Messrs. were destroyed by fire 17 years ago, when several explosions took place, and some of the firemen lost their lives. At 12 o'clock last night all fear of the further spread of the fire being at an end, Capt. Shaw, Mr. Henderson, Mr. Hodges, and a body of the Brigade, made as close an in spection of the ruins as possible, but the intense heat thrown out from the still burning ruins, and the dangerous condition of the walls of the destroyed warehouses, mad this a work Of great difficulty and danger. It was found that the fire was still raging fiercely in the vaults running under the warehouses, and it was again found necessary to bring the brigade steam engines, and also that of Mr. Hodge, into operation, and at one o'clock this morning large bodies of water were being poured into the premises without making any perceptible diminution in the flames, which were shooting up with great force in all directions. Mr. Arthur Price, the resident partner in the firm, with a large staff of his clerks and workmen, were rendering every assistance to the firemen. During the height of the fire it appears several of the firemen were severely in jured by the; falling debris, and three of them engaged :n playing on the backs of the houses in Chatham-place from the roof of Mr. Capel's coal depot, were at once completely enveloped in a dense cloud of smoke, and narrowly escaped with their lives. All the books of the firm were saved, but were much damaged by water and removal. The origin of the fire cannot yet be ascertained, but it is thought to have arisen from spontaneous combustion.
