MONEY MARKET• CITY NE \VS—Yo'S FERDAY. .A.rter thp reenghised hours Turkish scrip rose to 4 prem.. ex div. Late in. the afternoon there was a sudden and in.lortAnt rke in Pvruviln UrihArrpn, and Three per Gnat. Bonds, the former being quoted 94 to 95 (or about 3 per cent, higher than in the morning), and the letter 85 to 86. The rise in the new Portuguese ',lan having led to some sales, the quotation has receded, closing at 31 .0 3," ; prem. It appears from a telegram frDm Lisbon that, as was anticipated, the £500,000 of the new loan which had been taken in Portugal is being converted by the holders into internal stock. It appears, in answer to inquiries, that the agents for the new Portunese Loan are not yet able to fix the day for the issue of the allotment, the wo►k of examining £21,000,000 of applications being very heavy. The following sums have been received by Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. on account of the New Granada Dividend Fund, viz. :—Santa Marta, 1:476 15i. 10d. ; Rio Hicha, £430 ; Cartagena, £240 ; Sabanilla, £172 163. ; total, £1,319 I Is. 10d. A considerable portion of such of the Mexican dollars as were not recently sold at ss. Old. per ounce, together with those brought by the Seine, were disposed of to-day for China at ss. lid., esta blishing a rise of id., compared with.the price ob tained for a portion of the supply by the Shannon. In the interval, however, the present quotation has been current. New York telegrams of the 21st of July (appa rently the latest received) announce a rise in the exchange to the extraordinary point of 132. Gold appears to have been at about 19 per cent. prem. The Liverpool cotton mar'tet to .day was very firm, and the tendency of prices as regards Ameri can descriptions was agai❑ upwards. The trans. actions comprised 8,000 bales. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CI IN, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The bullinn movements at the Bank of England continue favouranle; a further supply of .E 50,000 having been taken there yesterday, raising the total infl-.x since the date of the last Gazette return to £496,000. Some small withdrawals have also been reported. bet in the aggregate they have not ex ceu ded 160,000 or £70,000. Notice has been given that half-yearly interest at the rate of 6 per cent. will be paid on the Turin and Savona Railway shareson and after the h proximo. Gold is now about 1 10th per cent. dearer in Lon don than in Paris, and 3 lUtha per cent. higher here than in Hamburg. A further call of 15s. per share will be made on the 16th inst, on the contributories of the Taranaki Steel Iron Company now winding up in bankruptcy. The tenth annual report of the directors of the Itiariquita and New Grenada Mining Company has been issued to-lay. It appears that the quantity of ore raised at the Santa Anna Mine, between the 31st March, 1861, and the 31st March, 1862, was 1,693 tons, and the quantity at fine silver produced vas 81 094 ounces. The protit for this sear has 13 - 4 en £2,656 188.2 d. Although the quantity of ore raised this year has been less than last, the per 'tentag e of ore has been greater, which is referred to as being a very satisfactory feature. The direc tors congratulate their proprietart upon the pros pects of the undertaking, as the reserves have in creased to upwards of 1:10,000,and that an advance las been made towards 'paying a dividend. Although full particular; of the new Venezuelan * Loan have been allowed to transpire, the contract 'up to the present time has not been formally signed. 'The arrangements, however, have made consider able progress, and the prospectus may therefore be anuounced at any moment. The favour with which the new op,n.ation is regarded at the Stock Ex change may be inferred from the fact, that it is already quoted at 3i to 4 prem. Numerous appli cations have already been sent in, and, judging from present indications, there is reason to believe that the total subscriptions will largely exceed the required amJun t. It As expect€ that the New Peruvian Loan will be announced at an early deriod. CI l'Y, Two O'CLOCK There i'tls not been much activity in the M ,rket for Pub.ic Securities to-day, speculation being quieter, while theattention of investors is directed to other chanvels. The Funds are still at a high rang e of prices, but a few sales having taken place % declin e of I per cent. has ensued, Consols being 94 1 for money and the 7th proximo, and 941 for o the 4th S ep t e mber. The New Threes are "I i; the Reduced, 941 I; Exchequer Bills re t"in at 25., and 28g. prem.; Bank Stock is 240; and India Five per Cent. Loan, 1081 I 11,newed buoyancy has prevailed in the Foreign Market, and the trans••ctions have beeu rather eztensi„. Lzyptian Scrip has advanced to 12 and 13 Prem.; L'alian Railway Lean to 741; New Grenada 2 per Cents. to 261; Italian 5 per Cents. to 727 4 ; Ruusian,.96l 97 ; ditto, New Loan Scrip 1; •; Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854 are 834 87; ditty,, 1858, 751 ; ditto New Loan Scrip 31 4i P r ' r n• ; Vent zuelan 3 per Cents have risen to 281; and the New Loan is quoted 31 41 prem. The Portuguese Loan is 3± y preen. In the Railway Share Market increased buoyancy has prevailed, and several of the ptincidal under takings show a further improvement. Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North Etstern (Berwick) have advanced ss. ; Caledonians, Eastern Counties, and So uth-Easterns, 10s.; Great Westerns, North- Westerns, and Midlands 155.; and London and 13r1ghton 1:1 to £1 ss. lbe Foreign and Colonial lines have shown little change of importance.

FOREIGN RAILWAYS The following is an extract from a letter - dated New Or leans, June 30, 1862:—" I am now going to give you an idea of how things are in this qua-ter of the globe. We have passed through a most exciting par, the details of which, I suppose, will be written by sone future United States historian. By the means of enornous armies, well supplied with every possible war material their fleets of gunboats, mortar vessels, and heavy ahips d war, they have captured this city, and will soon obtain control of the navigation of the Mississippi River. But lam inclined to think that the conquest has been dearly bought. Wherever their armies approach , property of all kinds, ani more particularlycotton, will be destroyed. How far the people are justified in such general destruction I cannot say. The sacrifice of such vast representative wealth is terrible to contemplate, yet it is none the less true. An intimate fiend of mine, the represen tative of a large English house, tad occasion to leave 11.. re shortly after the arrival of the United States' fleet on some business connect d with his firm, and travelled through Mississippi up as far as Vicksburg, through the interior of the State. thence to the Ouachita country, and across to North-Western Texas, down the Red River to Shreveport, Nachitoches, and Alexandria, taking in his journey a belt of the mo=t productive and valuable cotton lands in the Slave States, and hence he is able t t sl eak with authority upon the condition of affairs in the interior —perhaps better than anyone in New Orleans just now. In Mississippi and Louisiana, bordering on the ricer, nearly all the o tton was being destroyed within six miles of the bank. He came down the river some 90 miles in a skiff, and rowed through dense masses of loose cotton, partially burnt, that bad been thrown into the stream from the gin -houses, where it had been lying unbaled. The Legislature of Mississippi had taken the subject of the destruction of cotton in' o their own hands; and, even if there should be any planter indispos d to destroy his crop, committees had been appointed in diffe rent counties and parishes to proceed to every plantation, have the cotton placed in the open field, and prepared for immediate ignition the moment it should be r ndangered by the approach of the Federal forces. This, he says, was not necessary, as there did not seem to him to be any necessity for legislative action whatever to compel the planter to this course, for, without an exception (and he saw a great num ber), they were all enthusiastic in the determination to lay waste sod destroy their crops and plantations. He saw several who had burnt from 2,000 to 4,000 bates, and in one instance a large planter below Vicksburg not only destroyed his crop, but his plantation residence, gin -houses, negro quartrs, and outbuildings, and remaved his slaves 30 miles back from the river. This was, los says, by no means a solitary instance, as there were many others following his example. In the remote and almost impene•rable section of country known as the Ouachita country, in North•Wtst Louisiana, the same spirit of desti uction prevailed as in Miasissioi, and in some instai.ces he met planters, whose places were situated in Berm, Bartholotnew, and Lake Bortenears (which are only approachable by very light-draught boats, at a high state of water, and where no immediate danger was to be apprehended), who had aheady burnt their cotton, not from apprehension of its being cap tured, but to give the United States' authorities to under stand that any attempt to get possession of their cottons would be utterly futile. He travelled from Monroe on the Ouachita River, to Shreveport, en Red River, a distance of nearly 200 miles, by stages, passing through an extensive and very productive cotton region, and on every plantation he found the cotton everywhere so prepareu that it coull be immediately destroyed. He learned (I have myself) from well informed planters hat the same determination prevailed throughout the cotton country in Texas contiguous to Shreveport and down the Red River to Alexandria. This is no imaginary statement, for the reports received here every day from all sections not only confirm the above, but the determination which the planters have come to seems. if possible, to have become even more decided than ever. Factors, and others interested in cotton, are inclined to think that, under ordinary circumstances and a free export, we should have received at all the ports nearly 4,000,000 bales The amount already destroyed is placed somewhere n the vicinity of 300,000 bales: and, what with the waste from the want of bagging and carelessness in picking, the avail able crop, presuming all our war troubles at an end at this moment, would not exceed 3,000,000 bales-circumstances may greatly diminish this last figure. With regard to the prospective crop of 1862-3, it is very doubtful if sufficient cotton has been planted to yield more than 3,000,000 bales. The attention of planters has been turned almost entirely to the production of cermals, and a gentleman told me that he slaw plantations that last year produced 2,000 ba es and upwards planted almost entirely with corn. Now, the pro spects of returning trade are very gloomy, and, under the most favourable circumstances, it will take a long Vine to restore confidence and place the commercial community a position to afford facilities to the planters. The cotton factors even now are hopelessly insolvent. It is impossible to tell what this class will do in the event of further de struction of property in the interior. Our banks in Sep tember last suspended specie payments— perfect robbery, and the subsequent withdrawals of their specie beyond the reach of their creditors must eventually go into liquidation, and the question is, will theit present issues ever be re deemed. You see now that affairs look very gloomy ; a source of no small regret to myself, for my future prospects were exceedingly bright. The suspension of the banks affected me to a small degree. Everything is in a deplora ble state. Flour now commands 30 dole per barrel, beef 30c per lb." KITTY PALMER. We extract the following quaint but pleasing poem from the new volume of lioutledge's series of the Poets, which contains the collected poems of Mr. W. C. Bennett : "KITTY PALMER." [The sole inscription on an old headstone in Dulwich Churchyard.] But " Kitty Palmer"— not a word Beyond—the mossy head. stone's showing; Not even a date; it seems absurd To care for ono one can't be knowing, Yet I can't help it; she lies nigh The quiet road 1 travel often. And ale eye, when 1 vise her by, Towards Kitty there, coy heart will soften. There's nothing there her age to say; Young? old ?—all's hid by time's thick curtain; Was she a babe, scarce born a day ? A girl ? a woman ?—all's uncertain ; Was she maid, wife, or widow?—well, That knowledge —we must do without it; We know there's nothin g here to tell, And that's all we can know about it. What conquests were her's ?—did she reign, A child, but in her home's affections, Or, older grown, seek, not in vein, Heart Humphs, for sty et recollections ? Was she vain ? humble ? foolish ? wise ? Ri c h P poor? coy ? hold I) quite dull or witty ? Oh, were you wicked with your eyes, A plague to men—l hope not, Kitty I Did children make her smile or sigh, A blessed or afflicted mother? Did sheet weddings laugh ? or try By death-beds, sobs in ‘ain to smother? At her grandchildren's christenings, eyes, Half tears--half laughter, aid she show now? Or weep their flight to Paradise From cradles here ? —ah, wno can know now I Yet still my fancy will go on About this long-gone Kitty dreaming. She, freed from all we think upon Of worldly toils and cares and scheming. Whatever she was, here her rest— How pleasantly these green elms shade it, How calm and throblues is her breast, However wild, or sad, life made it I As here I see her lie, forgot By all who used to hate or love her, By all but oho who makes thin spot So sweet with thymy turf above h er . I cannot come to picture her But as a sweet one life could render With smiles to heaven —one fit to stir In me but thoughts serene and tender. So 1 think of her—think her fair, And on the painttd sunshine g , z i ng See laughing eyes and golden b a i t; All beauty that one sh , uld be prai s i ng; A happy girliab wife before My sight she lives, to fancy giving Content more cairn—more sweet, since more Undimmed by fears, than do the living. For we are things that know n„ peace-- Poor slaves of care and toil and pleasure Of wants and hopes that never cease For calm conten t we h ave no leisu re; But her's no more are sin and d eath, All we must fear, with which we've striven; Earth's must be still unquiet breath; She breahes but heaven's, we trust, forgiven. All they who knew her, too have passed Fr , m time; all broken heart-lies mended, They have rejoined her where at last All tears are dried —all sorrows ended : What matters then that here her name Alone is written! She is faring As well as most who cased for fame, For whom now not a soli is caring, Ah, you who here are writi ng this, And dream perhaps in fitture I.tory: Your name may live—who, catch or miss, Snatch at a little gleam of glory, Is it 0 much that men should know y ur words years hence; —nay, I , an, breathe calmer !

In Tarns there has been more doing, and prices are fully id to id per lb, in advance of the quotation of last Tuesday. In some rather excep tional cases an advance of id has been obtained. The demand has been chiefly for Germany, and the houses in that trade has been rather free buyers for all kinds of yarns at .141 to id advance. Buyers for the home trade and for India, China, and the Medi terranean have been doing very little business There has been a little better feeling springing up in the cloth market since Friday, partly owing to bet ter accounts from India and partly the result of a firmer cotton market at Liverpool, which has strengthened the hands of sellers of nearly all kinds of cloths, who are asking the extreme rates of last week. Buyers, however, are exceedit.gly cautious, and the increased firmness of sellet s is by no means encouraging them to renew operations. Exceed ingly little business has been done to-day, and what has been done has been chi. fly for speculation. LEEDS, 29th. —The markets in the cloth halls this morning have been of an ordinary character. There was a moderate attendance of buyers, and they bought a fair quantity of seasonable goods. The weather having become bright and warm, and the harvest prospects more hopeful, the woollen trade in general in this district wears an improving aspect. Wools keep firm in price; bat the local dealers have rather less demand just now than was the case a few weeks ago, manufacturers looking in some degree to the forthcoming sales of colonial wools in London either to supply their wants, or as to form an index of prices for some time to come. The flax trade is tolet ably active, but the advance in the price of the raw material rather checks operations. ROCHDALE, 29th.—The flannel and wool trades Here keep steady, and prices ale firm. To-day there has been a f..ir sale of the finer qualities of fl and a moderate one of the coarser kinds. Low goods for the colonies continue in request, and of some descriptions the stocks are small. The man aLc• turers are not very brisk, but they have no great complaints to make of the want of work. THE COTTON QUESTION. A writer in a contemporary says—On the 6th and 11th of February last you we. e kind enough to insert two letters of mine upon the then rela , ive cheapness of East Indian cotton as compared with American, the feasibility of its be ing used by our spinners with a proper alteration of their machinery, and the great necessity there existed of their doing so with the almost certain stoppage of the American supply during this year, and thereby encouraging the im portation of cotton horn India to supply the deficiency which would be caused by the entire absence of a crop which previously had supplied four-fifths of the consumption of the world. Subsequent events have fully proved the advice to be correct which I then presumed to give spinners and manu facturers. A lair trial soon enabled them .0 ascertain that East India cotton was capable of supplying the place of American cotton, and that yarn of finer numbers than they ever contemplated could be produce front - urats when their skill and ingenuity had been briught Cully into play by the necessity of their position. H-nce the fact that from Jan. 1 last to the parent. date spinnets have purchased iu this mar ket and consumed 438.000 bales of Surat cotton and only 198,000 American, while last year, during the same period, they consumed 1,130,000 Ante ican and only 115,000 Surats. Thus the capability of East Indian cot ton being made avail able as a substitute for American is, I think, settled, and the great improvernen in its quality that has latterly taken place, and which the present high scale of prices will sti 1 further stimu ate, gives every encoutagetnent that from India alone we shall ultimately I eceive such a supply as will make us independent of the United States of America, and which now appears so necessary fur the future welfare of our manufacturing it. teresl s—considering the great uncertainty that now exists, first as to the probable duration of the civil war in America, and secondly as to the possibility of its causing a permanent curtailment in the growth of cotton in the Southern States. At the dose of ►ast year the estimated consumption of the world was over 5,00u,000 bales per annum, four-fifths of which was supplied by America. At the present moment nearly one year's American crop has been withheld, and even so far how serious is the result, I How necessary, there • fore, it is that our true position should be clearly under stood, so that the danger being evident the remedy may be sought for, and by timely application save us from still greater peril and injury. So far this year, compared with the same period of IS6I, the import of American shows a decrease of 1,400,000 bales, while East. Indian cotton during the same period only slows an increase of 160,000 bales, while the quantity now at sea for Europe from America is nil against nearly 300,000, and that of E&st Indian to arrive by the end of October is 402,000 against 391,000 bales at the sme period last year. Last week in your columns it was stated that private telegrams had been received trout Bomb ty advising a further shipment of 115,000 bales of cotton in one week to this country, and that it was ea t ected, that when the advices would be receiv. d hence of the late important rise in prices, that still further extensive shipments would be immediately made. Now, as I am assured you will be glad to correct any error which may inadvertently be inserted in your columns, I take the liberty of stating that the Bombay letters and circulars by this same mail have to-day been received, and instead of 11.5, , 00 bales stated to be shipped in one week, it appears that only 28,000 bales were shipped in two weeks ending on that date against 72,000 bales during the saute petiod last year, and that only about 85,000 bales were then in stock, and on shipboard ; and also that the monsaon which either had or was about setting in would almost prevent any cotton being received coastwise or from the interior until the beginning of October. so that it was quite impro bable that over 100,000 bales more could be shipped in suf fi ient time to arrive here before the close of the present year. Thus the prospective supply from India for the remainder of this year will be ne greater than we received (+wing the same period last year. Then we received 49.5,200 bales of East Ind an cotton, while this year, with the cotton now afloat and the probable qua tity yet to be shipped to arrive Wore Dec 31, the quantity will barely exceed that amou t. I have been privileged by the perusal of letters received by the most eminent of India h• uses trou. their firms in Bom bay, and also by conversation with several gentlemen from India now here who are well acquainted with that country, all of whose testimony fully coLfirms and corrob-rates this view of the supply to be received from India this year. Y. u will therefore perceive how critical is our present position, and how necessary it is that every effort should be made to stimulate the bringing down of cotton to 'he ports of India. so 55 to admit of immediate shipment; for after a period of 10 months, during which the spinners and manu facturers of Europe have been working " half-time," the supply of cotton on hand and that on th e wa y i s s till mise rably small, and quite incompatible with the necessities of the world, as the following figures will show: PRESENT VISIBLE STOCKS IN EUROPE, AND AMERICAN AZ D EAST INDIAN AT SEA. 1862. 1861.

Such a comparatively small supply for the next three months will naturally strike those who may even not N ' andwill vte employmentrs be conversant w th the trade bow critical is our p osition at the present moment, and how necessary it is that renewed efforts should be made to obtain from Ind ia, now our onl y hope, as large a proportion as possib le of the su pp l y of cotton which Europe now requires to m eet the consum p - • tion of Cotton goods going on.

The object of the bill was more to relieve rate payers than to provide relief for the poor. He b:tlieved that the distress would be greater than at present, but that the worst time would be over by October. Aft« r some remarks from General LINDSAY and Mr. CRALTURD, Nr. COBDEN said he bad that morning received a telegram from Rochdale, infotmiog him of the opinion of the people that the bill would be valueless. It was the general desire of the people of Lancashire that borrowing powers should be granted. In the name of Lancashire, be was willing to give up the rate in aid altogether if they could not have the borrowing powers with it. (Hear, hear.) Mr. J. B. SMITH supported the rate in aid. He thtught the Government made a great mistake in itot to ing means for promotiug the growth of cotton in India. Ile opposed the borrowing powers, considering that if money were borrowed, the parishes would nut be ab.e to pay with out great emberra.ssment. Mr. NEW DEGATE thought the request of Lancashire reasonable one. The people of that county must be the best judges of theit own requirements. The loan, he thought. ought to be granted in the first instance. Mr. HENLEY approved of the plan of the Government rather than than of borrowing. He thought the plan of the G 'vernmeot should be adopted, and if it failed, Parlia ment could be called together in the a .tutrin. Mr C. LEIGH suupported the views expressed by Mr. Cobden. Lord PALMERSTON said that nn doubt it was an easy way of getting money t. borrow it, rtgardless of conse quences, but it w.Juld be the introduction of a new principle which might be applied to every district in the country in which there was any (Est rsss. He believed that the wealth of Lancashire and Cheshire was suf ficiently great to provide for any rate in aid which might be thrown upon them. (Hear, hear.) He regretted that some of the wealthy capitalists of Lancashire and Cheshire, perceiving the diffi,ulties and distress which were cowing on, bad sold the mitetials they ought to have used, and had gone out of the country. He hui•ed the house would stand by the bill as it stood. 111 r. AYR VON denuunced the bill as it stood as a gross injustice. Mr. DEEDES supported the ameLdinent propcsed by Mr. Pul er. A'dernian SIDNEY supported the proposal of the Go verLmt nt. He ou!cl not understand where the money pi °post dto be b rrowt d was to come from. He thought a loan would be a very unsuuni mode of meeting et tem porary pressure. The Marquis of HAILTINGTON supported the amend mcnt, believing that Laos would be the only means of making pr perty pay its fair share. The house divided — For the amendment 95 Against it BB Majority Col. .V. PATTEN hoped th:A al er each au rxpresion of opinion the Government would take the matter in hand with a view to a modification.

I Wu., being the ma as yeeterdsP Recent discussions in Parliament have called special attention to the new mansion erected by the Duke of Buccleuch on the site of Montagu- Louse, and which is just now on the point of com pletion. but though every care has been taken, and no expense spared, to make this house one of the moat perfect in metropolis, there seems to be a doubt now whether, after all, the Duke will over inhabit it ; certain it is that his Grace has renewed. the term of his temporary residence, which expired this autumn. The peat fault of old Montagu house was that, in wry high tides, it admitted Old Father Thames into its kitchen, and the greatest care has been taken in the new structure to prevent the entrance of so unwelcome a visitor. All the old materials were ground down and made into a sort of concrete to form the foundation of the new building, and ev-ry possible precaution taken to make the new mansion water-tight in its lower regions ; and, while thus guarded in its foundations from the irruption of one element, due care has been taken in the superstructure against the destructive agency of another. The new house is substantially, though perhaps not theoretically, fire-proof. Iron has been substituted for wood in all the most im portant parts of the construction, and should a fire unfortunately arise, every possible precaution has been taken to prevent its spreading beyond the aparment in which it should arise. Everything, therefore, has been done that wealth could com mand and talent devise to make this a desirable abode for a nobleman of the highest rank. But there is a rumour that the Duke is not indisposed o part with his house to the Government on being reimbursed his outlay ; and therefore the new Montagu-house may yet be converted into public offices. The contract for the completion of the building expires at the latter end of this autumn, and ere the Duke begins to decorate end furnish there is no doubt the destination of the bui,iding will be decided.—Cuttrt Journal.

He moved there fore that the words "above the junctions of the rivers" should be struck out of clause 3.

Mr. HIBBERT thought that if the bill passed in its present shape it would operate very harshly on many semi-distressed unions.

The quotation of gold at Pas about I per mine premium and the short exchange on London is 2:i.2Z per £1 sterling. n comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 00. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-1 th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. liy advices fr.,m hamburg the price of gold is 464 per mark s , and the short exchange on London is 13.6 per £1 sterling. "tandard gold at the English Mir t. price is, therefore, rather more ti.an 3-1, thr per cent. dearer in London than in 1-lam burg 1 he course of exchange at New York on London for bills at t.O days' siAlit is about 1.8 to 129 per cent., and the pre mium on $.401 is le) to 17 per cent.
