MONEY MARKET. CITY NE W S-YESTERDAY. The committee of the Stock Exchange on Mon d y next may probably appoint the following Thursday and Friday a special settling day in the scrip of the new Peruvian loan. The particulars are published of Buenos Ayres Three per Cent. Bonds, representing £26,000, which have been cancelled by the investment of a sum of £10,026. It is worthy of remark that the application of the money to this purpose is entirely a voluntary act on the part of the Government. There was no gold transactions at the Bank to day. A considerable amount of Russian has ar rived, and is expected to remain here. The mail steamer Shannon has arrived from the West Indies with £213,000 in silver, and £49,000 in gold. The New York telegrams yesterday afternoon report a recovery in the exchange of 127, and in the premium on gold to 151 per cent. The City of Manchester was about to leave for England with £40,000 in specie. The Liverpool Cotton Market is still excited and rising. The sales to-day have reached 24,000 bales. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Bank of England return completed to the 27th August exhibits one or two rather important changes. Owing to the non-arrivals of gold from either America or Australia, there is a very limited addition to the stock of bullion. The reserve of notes, however, has been largely augmented, and both the public and private balances show important additions, Subjoined is a table of the various items and the alterations they present : Active Circulation ..

During the last few days there has been rather more animation exhibited in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. Tea at public sale fully sustained previous rates. Sugars were in demand at enhanced prices, while coffee, cocoa, and rice has been dealt in to some extent at full rates. The de mand for saltpetre has improved, but tallow con tinued dull for both present and forward delivery, P.Y.C. on the spot being quoted 488., and last 3 mont'ns, 498. 9d. to 50s. per cwt. Two O'CLOCK. The official returns relating to trade and naviga lion for the seven months ended July 31 have just been published. From these it appears that the total declared value of the exports from the United Kingdom was £69,446,480 against £70,237,685 in the like period of 1861, being a decrease of £791,205. The falling off is most perceptible in cotton yarn, cotton manufactures, machinery, rail road iron, British. sheeting, and sleeps' and lambs' Wool. The importations of the principal articles were larger as regards flax, hemp, silk manufactures, spices, tallow, coffee, corn, sugar, tea, wine, and she eps' and lambs' wool ; but smaller in raw cotton, raw silk, cocoa, flour, currants, timber, and tobacco. The shipping accounts exhibit a decrease in the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom of 581,951 tons for the entries inwards ; but an increase of 63,241 tons for 'the clearances outwards. In the coasting trade 11,449 tens less were em ployed than in the corresponding period of 1861 for the entries inwards, and 105,287 tons for the clearances outwards. Very little business has been transacted in the English Stock Market this morning, the dealers and others being almost solely occupied with the settlement in Foreign Stocks and Railway Shares; a further improvement of k per cent., however, has been established, Consols being 931 I. The New Threes and the Reduced are firm at 931 ; Ex chequer Bills steady at 17s. to 21s. prem.; Bank Stock is flat at 240; India 5 per Cent. Loan at lt,Bl d. There have been very few dealings in Foreign Securities, and prices have undergone no important change. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, are 841 851 ; ditto, 1858, 701 71 ; ditto £lOO Bonds, 74 ; the New, Scrip is 651 664 ; and the Internal Debt is 321 33. Italian have improved to 678 ; Moorish are 931 ; Russian Scrip, 1 dis. ; but Venezuelan are firmer at 26. The operations in the Railway Share Market .have been very limited, although, in some instances, prices have shown a slight recovery from their late depression. Great Westerns are dealt in at 651 3 . ex div .; South Easterns at 832- ex div. ; Midl ands at 127, and 1271 ex div.; North Westerns at 93: 948 ex div. ; Lancashire and YorkOlire at 106 and 08 106 ex div. ; Caledonians remained fi rm at 108; It. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain dull, at about previous rates.

GREAT MEMORIES. — WiIIiam Lyon, an itinerant actor, known in Edinburgh about 100 years ago, one even= ing over a bcttle with some of his theatrical brethren, 'wagered a crown bowl of punch that the following day at rehearsal he would repeat the whole of a "Daily Adver tiser." The players, wh.3 considered this as mere bravado, paid little attention to it; but as Ly on was positive, one of them accepted the wager. I he next, mo rning at re h earsa l, ho reminded Lyon of his bet, imagining a ' he w as d run k the night before he must certainly have for gotton it, and rallied him on the ridiculons boasting of his m eal , ory Lyon produced the paper, desired the other to look at it and decide the wager. Notwithstanding the want o f connec tion in the paragraphs, the variety of advertisements, and the general chaos which forms the composition of a taws _ paper, he repeated it throughout without the least hesitft. tiop or mistake.—. Dublin University Magazine. THE TUSCARORA..—The Federal war steamer Tuscorara left Plymouth under steam at half-past 8 yester day morning for the westward.

At four o'clock he apprehended White in a coffee shop. Police-constable O'Sheay, 156 B, said that he was passing the prosecutor's house when he saw White in Devonshire-place adjoining. He observed to White, " Holloa I what is up ? There must be some one inside." He then heard the smashing of some panes of glass. Upon hearing that he called the landlord, and at the same time he called out police. He knew Williams,whose name is Cocks. He has been previously convicted. Inside the house he found several panes of glass broken, through which a per son could easily pass into the bar. On taking him to the station-house he flung something away. B 74, produced a knife which Was picked up by him and which the prisoner admitted belonged to him. A question arose as to whether the charges of breaking and entering could be sustained, when, as it appeared, that the outer door was in a very insecure state, Mr. Ingham decided there was no burglary. The prisoners were each sent for three months to the House of Correction. 83! I 014 100 i .year not to be t bilk year! PRITISH POSSESSIONS. POLICE-THIS DAY.

ROBBERY AT A JEWELLER'S.-OUTRAGEOUS CASE, - _ _ Adrian Brim, described as an interpreter, no address, and Auguste Tortinet, commission agent, of 40, Silver•street, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold watch and chain of the value of £lB, the property of Mr. Charles White, jeweller, of 146, Great Portland-street. Mr. Albert interpreted. Mr. Charles White said on Monday last Brun came into his shop and said he had been at work at the Great Exhibi tion and wanted to take a good gold lever watch home with him to F rance. I told him I had not got one then, but yesterday Brun called with the other prisoner and approved of the watch, and then Brun wanted to see a gold chain. I showed him a curb chain with a key and white stone. Brun then wanted to know the price of the chain and watch. While I was writing Brim threw something like snuff or salt in my eyes, and off they went, taking one of the watches with them. The watches and chain were on the counter separate from each other. I rushed round the counter after them, but hardly could see, being almost blinded. I ran up Clipstone-street and overtook the tall one (Tortinet) about half way between Bolsover-street and Carburton-street. I pursued Brun, and he threw the watch away from him, but it was not much injured, being a hunting watch. On getting back to the shop with Brun I missed a chain. I asked him whether he threw the stuff in my face or the other, and he said he did it. Thinking he might give me another doze, I seized him, and then gave him into cus tody. At night I went to the address Brun gave, and there I saw Tortinet, but not the chain. The watch was worth £l5, and the chain £3. I produce the watch, but the chain has not been recovered. I then gave Tortinet in charge. Mr. Albert read over the evidence to the prisoners. Boyd, 197 B, said—Yesterday afternoon I was called into Mr. White's, and took Brun into custody for throwing something in Mr. White's eyes, and then stealing a watch. Prisoner, on the way to the station, said he had done so because he had no money. At the station Brun wrote the address where they could find the other man (Tortinet). At 8 o'clock I went to 40, Silver-street, and took him. into Custody, Mr. White being present at the time. In answer to a question. Mr. White said he was positive as to the prisoners being the same men, for they had been to his shop two or three times altogether. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week. SOUTHWARK. A MUSICIAN IN TROUBLE.—A well-dressed genteel young man, who gave the name of William Parker, was charged with stealing a purse containing 205., the property of Mrs. Mary Annie Groves, who resides at Potter's.fields, Horslydown. The prosecutrix said last evening, as she was return* home along High-street, in the Borough, and opposite Southwark-street, the prisoner who had been following her for some time, pushed up against her right side, and when she looked at him be ran away. She found that she had lost her purse, and called out " Stop thief," and afterwards she saw the prisoner in custody of policeman 494 A. She identified the purse produced as her property. The prisoner, in reply to the magistrate, said that he was a violin player, although he had previously described him self as a traveller, and that he had come up from Ports • mouth only the day before. He heard the cry of thief, and with others joined in the pursuit, when he was stopped by the constable, and afterwards given into charge by the pro secutrix. He asked the latter if she saw him take the pursi, and he answered in the negative, and he then denied all knowledge of the robbery. David William Creek, a sailor in the Coast-guard ser vice, said that been 8 and 9 o'clock last night, as he was proceeding along High-street, he heard the prosecutrix cry ing out "stop thief," and the prisoner running away. Ha followed him about 200 yards from where the prosecutrix was standing. He picked up the purse produced. The prisoner repeated his denial of all knowledge of the transaction, but in reply to the magistrate said that he would prefer having the case summarily dealt with to being sent to the sessions. Mr. Combe explained that he could not dispose of the case unless the prisoner admitted his guilt without the ac companying statement of innocence. The prisoner then pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 6 months in the House of Correction. WESTMINSTER. BURGLARY.—George Williams and Henry White were brought before Mr. Ingham, charged with breaking and entering a house as follows : Mr. Edward Norris, licensed victualler, proprietor of the Old Star and Crown, Broadway, said that about one o'clock that morning he was awoke by a policeman. He got up and opened the window, when the officer said that there was some one in the house. Witness went downstairs and let the constable in. Almost immediately he found Williams, who was brought to him. He was taken to the station-house.; THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 29, 1862. IRELAND. DUBLIN, AUG. 28. The Commissioners of Fisheries are at present in Galway, holding meetings and receiving " all such pertinent evidence as shall be offered on the sub ject of the Fisheries," having been called upon to make a by -law to prohibit the use of nets in th e River Clare, Galway. Messrs. F. Brady and J. R, Barry are the Commissioners. It appears that a number of gentlemen interested in the subject signed a requisition asking for this inquiry, and that netting should be prohibited in that river, which is long and narrow, containing every facility for spawning, and suitable for angling, but not for netting. There were 2,500 salmon caught in it by angling during last season. The lessees have spent £3,000 in bring- ing the fishery to its present state. The cases of poaching have diminished from 56 five years ago to four last year. 80 men are employed protecting the rivers round Lough Corrib. In summer, the river is sometimes dried up and the fish left in pools. Two years ago, a gentleman killed 16 fish in this river in one day, and 68 in one week. Witnesses were of opinion that if the proprietors were per mitted to net the river the fish would be annihilated. Even here not one fish is taken for ten that were taken in former times. One of the witnesses stated that shortening the season one fortnight would do more to preserve the fishery than the prohibition of netting. The report which was in circulation for the last few days that the convicE Walsh had offered to dis close the names of the persons who employed him and Beckham to murder Mr. Fitzgerald, and that in consequence his life would be spared, turns out to be groundless. He has made no revelations, and the Lord Justices, in reply to his memorial for mercy, have stated that they see no reason for in terfering with the course of justice. He will be hanged on Monday. A few days since a passenger on his way to Holy head went on board the Munster mail steamer at Kingstown. Feeling unusually cold, when, trying to ascertain the cause, he found one of the legs of his trousers cut open. This had been done by a pickpocket, while he was getting his luggage on board. The object of the operator was to let the purse drop out. la this he failed, but be managed so expertly as to escape detection, and probably he was looking on, amused at the awkward predica ment of his intended victim as to his dress. There was a dense fog in this city yesterday morning. It also covered the Irish Channel, ren dering navigation difficult and perilous. The Munster mail steamer was delayed beyond her time, and the mails were landed by the boats of the Ajax, which had been sent to the mouth of the harbour to serve as guides. The Liverpool steamer got across the mouth of the harbour, and, while in that position, the Munster was within a few feet of running into her. The s i gna l guns o f th e war ship, which were fired at intervals, served to prevent accidents. THAMES. A DISGRACE TO THE BLUE-JACKET.—ROBBERY ON BOARD SHlP.—Robert Shelton, a Liverpool seaman, was brought before Mr. Self° charged with stealing a coat, waistcoat, cap, and other articles, the property of David Jones, an apprentice on board the brig Laura, in the Lon don Dock. Davy Jones said he belonged to New Quay, in Wales, and that yesterday afternoon at dinner time he went to his chest in the forecastle, and all his clothes and his cap were there. About two hours afterwards he went to his chest again and then missed a suit of clothes and a cap. He looked abeut and saw the prisoner on deck sneaking out of the ship. He went after him and gave him into custody, A seaman confirmed the latter part of the prosecutor's statement. Mr. Selfe—What is your name ? Witness—Davy Jones. Mr. Selfe—What I two Davy Jones's on board one ship ? - Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Selfe—Did the prisoner rob your locker, Davy Jones? (A laugh.) Witness—No, sir. John Lee, a police-constable, No. 42 H, stated that he saw the prisoner and the prosecutor struggling together yesterday afternon, at 5 o'clock, in the London Dock. Ho took the prisoner into custody, and the prosecutor said, " That man has got my clothes on." Mr. Selfe--Is he wearing the prosecutor's clothes now ? Witness—Yes, sir, his jacket, waistcoat, and trousers. Here is the lad's cap which I took from the prisoner. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and said he had lately come from Liverpool and was drunk yesterday, and did not know what he was about. Mr. Selfe—Nonsense ; you have committed this robbery very artfully, and put on the lad's things. You live in that horrible place Bluegate• fields, and are 41 years of age. You say you come from Liverpool. If this is the sort of impor tation we have from Liverpool the sooner it is stopped the better. You have ransacked Davy .Tones' locker and stolen his clothes. I convict you of larceny, and sentence you to be imprisoned for six months in the House of Correction and kept to hard labour. SHIPPING---THIS DAY.

ANOTHER SUPPOSED CASE OF CHILD MURDER. —Yesterday Mr. William Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, held an inquest in the boarl-room of Camberwell Workhouse on the body of a newly-born female infant, which was found tied up in some old rags in a market gar den in the Camberwell New-road. As in most of these cases, there was not the slightest trace as to who deposited the body where it was discovered, The Coroner, having alluded to the large increase in the number of the bodies of children found exposed in the public streets, and the im possibility of detecting any of the guilty parties, the jury returned au open verdict. Mr. Roger Brooke, Assistant Surveyor to the Corporation of Nottingham, says, in a letter to a contemporary :—A short time since the corporation of this borough determined on making great alte rations in what has always been considered to be the oldest part of the town. Many houses which bore the impress of great age have been pulled down, in order to construct a commodious street leading from the general market-place to the centre of the lace-market. Among these was one which was popularly known as "King John's Palace," although no reliable authority could be found for the tradition. Last Monday, however, some of the workmen announced that they had discovered a large underground cell, and cn repairing to the spot I found it to be a fact. Not one alone, but thirteen cells have been discovered, all com municating with each other, and eventually with the Castle, which is about a quarter of a mile distant. I and some gentlemen of the Town Council spent the greater part of yesterday in ex ploring these discoveries. The curiosity evinced by the people of the town was so great that a large body of policemen had to guard the entrance to prevent any accident. The walls of four of the cells have been lined with rude but substantial masonry, while others appear to be in their primitive condition. In one of those which we found thus lined we dis covered numerous remains of ancient armour lying in a corner, while near to them were several weapons, one of which in particular (a battle axe) is in an excellent state of preservation. In another we discovered three skeletons, apparently the remains of prisoners, for each one was lying near what appeared to have been huge staples fixed in the wall. One of the skeletons crumbled away to dust, the other two are very fragile indeed. It was some time before we could muster courage sufficient to examine the passage leading to the castle, on account of the foul air. On our doing so, however, we found the air to be comparatively pure, owing, no doubt, to the existence of fissures in the rock. Nothing remarkable was discovered in it, but the fact of their being such a passage gives a colour of probability to the tradition concerning " King John's Palace." There is every reason to believe that these excavations extend still further, and I entertain sanguine hopes that more interest ing discoveries will yet be made. It is intended on the return of my superior, Mr. Tarbottom (who is at present absent on sick leave), to conduct the search still further. MARKETS---THIS DAY. MARK LANE. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of new English wheat were only moderate. The trade, however, was dull for all qualities, and previous quotations were barely supported. There was a good show of samples of foreign wheat on the stands. The transactions were for the most part of a retail character, at about Monday's currency. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request on former terms. Barley, owing to the small supply on offer, was firm at extreme rates. The malt trade ruled inactive, yet prices were supported. The supply of oats was very moderate, and all kinds moved off freely at full quotations.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—The last performance of Verdi's brilliant and telling " Great International Ex hibition Cantata," with the magnificent solo by Madlle.

The house was crowded in every part Signor Arditi's in comparable orchestra distinguished itself in a splendid per formance, between the acts of the opera, and as a sort of preface to the :antata, of the overture to Rossini's cele brated " Guglielmo Tell." This the band played literally to perfection, and it drew down an instant and unanimous eiecore. The Duke de Blacas has left Brown's Hotel for Paris. A HEAVY LOAD.—On Tuesday last a large block of granite, no less than 30 feet in length, and weighing about 35 tons, was conveyed by 40 horses, assisted by about 200 men, to the polishing works of Messrs. W. and J. Free man, of Penryn, from one of their quarries. Careful ar rangements were made on Monday week to bring this great weight over the rough moors on to the hard road. This was partially effected on that day, and last Monday the stone was brought to the bottom of the first hill ready for ulterior operations. EverT thing in the arrangements seemed to be roost successful, the progress over difficult hills both in ascent and descent was uninterrupted, and on the arrival of the block at its destination in the town, all the workmen of the firm and the inhabitants, of whom seve ral hundreds had assembled, joined in three hearty cheers. This block is intruded to form the shaft of a memorial column to be erected at Strathfieldsaye in honour of the late Duke of Wellington, Messrs. Freeman having been in trusted by the present Duke with the execution of this work, so far as the granite is concerned. The column will be raised on a pedestal of still larger dimensions, supported by three tiers of steps, each stone of which will be of great s i z e. The other parts of the design comprise mouldings in polished granite, involving stones of nearly 100 superficial feet. The whole will be surmounted by a bronze statt.e of j the late Duke by Baron Marochetti, LORD COCKBURN AND THE SHEPHERD.—Lord Cockburn was once sitting on a hillside with a shepherd, and observing the sheep reposing in the coldest situation, he observed to him, " John, if I were a sheep, I would lie on the other side of the hill." The shepherd answered, 4, Ay, my lord, but if ye had been a sheep ye would have had mair sense." IA A TRAIN OFF THE LlNE.—Yesterday an acci dent, which almost miraculously terminated without any fatality, occurred on the Midland Railway, between Nottingham and Derby. The 11 30 a.m. train for Scar borough left Nottingham at the usual time, and had arrived within a mile of the new station at Trent, when, owing to some mistake on the part of the pointsman, and probably also to the excessive speed at which the train was proceeding, the engine ran off the line. Fortunately there were very few passengers in the train, and in the first two or three carriages none at all. The engine -driver at once shut off the steam when he perceived the accident, and the train was stopped before any important damage was done or any injuries received, with the exception of a con tused wound of no consequence inflicted on the stoker. The Journal tie Toulouse mentions the arrest of an individual accused of crimes which bear a strong analogy to those perpetrated by the notorious Dumollard : —For some time past complaints had been made of a roan who occupied himself with engaging young females as ser li - vants for persons residing in the neighbourhood of Tou louse, under promise of getting them higher wages than what they were b e f or e receiving. 140 females who consented to follow him to the places he indicated were subjected to the grossest indignities, and afterwards robbed of all the money they possessed. A third, after proceeding with hi m for some distance, turned back, refusing to follow him any further. One of his victims recognised him two days ape in the street, and he was arrested and taken before the Coin missarY of Police, where he avowed his guilt. Th e o an's , name is Riounie, a liberated convict, and under surveil lance. Whil e being taken to prison be attempted to escape from the police agents by leaping over the bridge into the river, but lie was secured before h e cou ld g et over th e parapet.

The conduct of the unhappy, man is much more decorous since his trial, and he d iligently attends to the exhortations of the chaplain, the Rev. R. F. Smith. The prisoner now ed it:its that if lie had been as good a husband to the murdered romats as she was a wife to him, he would have been soared the fate in which he is now involved. The terrible conflagration which occurred two days since in the neighbourhood of the Brotteaux, at Lyons, first began in the carriage-building establishment of MM. Fallot and Robergeot, and owing to the combustible nature of the stock, the flames spread with fearful rapidity, and defied all the efforts of the firemen. Nearly the whole block of houses adjoining the above premises was also burned down, and more than eighty families, chiefly working People, lost all they possessed. No life was lost, but several persons were more or less injured in their efforts to sav© the contents of the burning houses, The damage is roughly estimated at 900,000 fr.

The Civil Tribunal of Naples is at this moment engaged in hearing a claim brought by the descen dants of King Murat and Queen Caroline, against the Minister of the Household of the King of Italy and the Director of the Sinking Fund of the Kin gdom, for the recovery of property confiscated in 18 15. Napoleon 1., in giving the throne of Naples to his brother Joseph in 1806, reserved to himself an annual income of one million out of the property of the Crown, and when, in 1808, he put his brother in-law Murat in the place of Joseph, he transferred to the former and his wife Caroline Bonaparte the half of that income, not as a donation, but in ex change for palaces and property which the Murat f irony possessed in Paris and other part of France. Certain estates in Italy were appropriated to the payment of this income and were administered as private property belonging to the Royal family. King Ferdinand 1., on recovering the throne of Naples, although he had by a decree of the 14th of August, 1815, declared all property inviolable, afterwards disposed of that belonging to the Murat family, adding a part to his own private domain, and returning the rest to the State. The heirs of Murat now demand the restoration of that pro perty, which has considerably increased in value, and which all became natione.l property by the decree of September, 1860. They also claim pay ment of the rent received on that property since 1815. The present claimants are four; the Prin cess Louise Murat, daughter of King Murat and Caroline Bonaparte, and three daughters of her sister, the late Princess Letizia Murat, Marchioness Pepoli. The other descendants of the family re siding in Paris do not take part in the suit. PAPER. Among the botanical specimens sent over from Japan to the Societe d'Acclimatation by M. Eugene Simon, there are a few young trees, out of the bark of which the Japanese make very good and strong paper. In China, the bark of the Broussonnetia papyrifera, a ki❑d of mulberry-tree, is used ; that of Japan is a variety of the same species, to which Van Sieboldt has given the name of Broussonne tia Kaminoki. Considering the daily increasing difficulty of meetin g the demand for rags, which are sold at about £2 per cwt., the bark of this tree, imported from Japan, would prove ex tremely valuable to the paper trade, inasmuch as it would not cost more than half that price. The B. Kaminotiii might be easily acclimatised in various parts of Europe; it prefers a stony soil, especially of a calcareous nature, and should be planted at intervals not exceeding three feet ; otherwise the branches would extend, whereby the bark would become full of knots, causing much loss of substance in the manufacture. The soil is not manured until the second year; in the autumn of that year the plant is lopped close to the root, and this operation as well as that of manuring slightly, is repeated every second year. 1001bs, of branches thus obtained, stripped of their leaves, yield 101bs. of bark. The branches, on arriving at the manufactory, are put into hot water for half an hour; the bark can then be easily stripped off with the hands, and is afterwards left in the sun to dry. It is next macerated for three days in river -water, and bleached in the sun. These operations having been several times repeated, the bark is at last boiled in a lye of ashes for the space of three hours, the❑ manipulated for some time to separate any epidermis that may have remained, and lastly, when dry, the mass is pounded fine and made into a pulp with water, to which a glutinous liquid, ex tracted from a shrub called Nebooriko, probably the Accia Nenzu, is added, in the proportion of about two pints per cwt. of pulp. The latter is then made into sheets much in the usual way. THIRD AE D ITION. SUN OFFICE, S., I EVEN O'CLOCK. SPORTING----'_TH IS DAY. TUNBRIDGE RACE;;.— THIS DAY.

Lord Russell has received the following despatch from. Dr. Baikie, in command of the Niger expedition : Bids, Nusse, Central Africa, Feb. 26, 1862.. My Lord,—l feel it my duty again, respectfully, to re quest your lordship to call the attention of those in Rag land interested in the supply of cott on , t o th e pecu li ar eligi bility of this portion of Ventral Africa as a future cotton field. Here there are no adverse interests, no speculative political parties to interfere :with our wishes, no monopo lists nor capitalists to raise prices. Three -fourths of - the labouring population, whether free or slave, are at liberty to have their own farms, and to sell the bulk of their own crops. Thus, though the small farmer may himself 1 3 , 8 a slave, the larger his crops the larger his profits, and in working hard be is not labouring by mere task, or aim ply for the benefit of his master, but for his own immediate behoof; and thus, though a large part of the population of Bonu and Nusse are slaves, the labour on the small farms is not strictly " slave labour." It is from these small farms that most of the cotton conies to the market, and it is these small farmers whom any de mand would stimulate. In Yoruba, more is re oduced by large traders, and there it has caused an increased demand and price for slaves; but here it would have, if anything, an opposite result, as it would enable many of the present serf population to effect their freedom. I have, in a former despatch, shown how superior Sudan is, as a field for cotton, to the regions explored by 1 wr. Livingstone, alike from the greater proximity and superior navigability of the Niger to the Zambesi, as well as that here cotton is already in abundance, and cultivated by a people able and willing t o wor k , an d accus t ome d to i ts habits and rearing. Nothing further is required but in creased demand, and means of purchase, cleaning, and ship ping; the rest would speedily follow.—l have, &c,, (Signed) Wm. BALFOUR BA.IXIE. WAR-OFFICE, AUGUST 29.
