IMMII MONEY MARKET' AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The payments of the 4th of the month have pro ceeded in a satisfactory manner, the mercantile community having been enabled to provide for their engagements on easy terms. Several circumstances hare occurred to stimulate the demand for money and to impart firmness to the rates of discount, but there is still an absence of pressure, and bills are negotiable at least 1 per cent. under the Bank of England minimum quotation, The rate of discount at Vienna has been raised by the Bank of Austria to 5A per cent. On the 15th inst. an instalment of 15 per cent. becomes due on the New Russian Loan, and on the 16th of 8 per cent•. on the last Canadian Loan. There was a meeting yesterday of the creditors of Messrs. H. Brooks and Co., manufacturers of pianoforte " actions," when it was stated that the liabilities were £37,740, and the assets £36,093. The meeting was adjourned for a fortnight to enable a committee to investigate the estate. A large amount of business was recorded in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were firm. The sales were estimated at 18,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed with an active appearance, and quotations exhibited a fur ther improvement. There has been rather more activity in the mar ket for Public Securities, and increased buoyancy has prevailed—Consols having risen to 931 1 for money, and 931 i?- 4 for the account. This improve ment has been caused by an advance in the value of the French Funds, and more favourable teuour of the advices from, the South of Europe. India Stock remains at 218; ditto New Loan is firm at 1031 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper at 961 ; and the Debentures are flat at 961 ; Exchequer Bills have improved to ls. and 4s. prem.

Business in the Railway Share Market has shown rather more activity, and prices have generally ex hibited an upward tendency, owing to the favour able character of the traffic returns.

LONDON UNITY ROWING CLUB. _ IN The members of this club re-rowed their disputed race 81 from the 3d September yesterday, and it was accompanied s' by the Venus, which was well filled. The distance was from Putney to Barnes, the prizes silver Cups, and they came in as follows : s Yellow YELLOW. RED. WHITE. Mr. Casnight, Mr. Medlar, M r, Battrick, Mr. Bedford, Mr. Burrows, Mr. Hirst, Mr. M‘Gregor, Mr. Cook. Mr. Watson, Mr. Benney, Mr. T. Morton, cox. I Mr. P or t c h, cox. Mr. Edwards, cox. They got away well together, and remained so for a quarter of a mile, when Yellow began to go away, and although pressed hard by Red, won by several lengths. White rowed very pluckily, but were astern throughout. THE EARL OF DERBY.—To his Derby is liberal, but not fo o li shly extrav a ga nt; jockeys Lord and so de lighted was he with the exquisite mannerGionodwood in hiswhich Alfred Day handled the :cowardly Dervish at race with Arthur Wellesley, that he sent him s Butler's cheque for a hundred pou nds in recognition of it. Frank serv i ces , which were certainly . very important, he always esteemed; and, if he :succeed in his forthcomi n e, to mitigate the horrors of that system of traf fi c king measure human flesh, wh ich has been so long in force in the Jockey Club, and which es nothing but a remnant of a barbarous age, he will ear n for himself the gratit u d e b of Gur jockeys, and be universally recognised as th e Wilb er f orc e of the turf. In racing law L or d Derby is well read, for his whole soul is in sport ; and of hire it is said that he once addressed the Speaker of the House of Commons ad Mr. Clerk of the been suppose Course. Onhe au _ other occasion, also, whe n it might hav was broken down with a speech of four h our o s' duration on China, full of blue-book de tails , what hld of a racing peer's arm, he inquired, as he left the house, what would win the Two Thousand, and was immediately been b analysing the motives of our Ambassador at Hongkong. Freed from political care, Lord Derby, contrary to general opinion, we will admit, is no longer the fierce aristocratic ar liamentary debater, but the genial, good-natured man of the world, full of fun, ever ready to appreciate a j o ke, and down to every move on a race-course, as he is ou the chesss - board of St. Stephen's. And if the walls of John Scott' parlour could speak, they would reveal many a " Noctes" that would rival the " Ambrosianm" of Blackwood, as his e mighty minister, sunk into the sportsman, sa t up with trainer till the light broke sufficiently to enable them to try their horses. The turf has been held to be a degrading pursuit; but while its leader, whose domestic virtues are on a par with his public worth, and who is as capable of replying to Count Cavour, in Italian, at Turin, as he is to M. Thouvenel, at Paris, in French, and is the patriot who entertained 14,000 Volunteers, at his own expense, on a recent occasion, the British sportsman may well be proud of the ascendancy of the turf over the public mind, and trust the day may be far distant when the Racing Calendar shall,, appear minus the name of the Earl of Derby.—.lAily s Naagaz• inifir OftGbor.

The Massilia, with the above mails, arrived at Marseilles at 8 a.m. this day. 1 1 ti l 1 cC The mails were to leave for London at 10 a.m. The Delta, with the heavy portion of the mails, was to leave Malta at midnight on the Ist, and may be expected at Southampton on the 10th inst. The Singapore brought the mails to Suez, and arrived there on the 27th September. .ern SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4, 1860 STATE OF IVAPLES: THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. NAPLES, SEPT. 29. The political atmosphere has been much relieved by the storms of the last few days, and there seems to be a greater approximation between Garibaldi and the Piedmontese. The remonstrances and ad dresses which have been presented to the Dictator, if they have not altered his policy, have led to satis factory explanations, and the public mind is now much calmer. Apart from political movements and Ministerial intrigues, there has been little of importance to note this week. The Ministerial crisis is now, I hope, at an end, and, in the absence of more precise information, I may give you the names of Conforti, Ferrigno, De Sanctis, Giuza, Bianco, and Petitti. The course of this new combination may be assumed from the name of the President, Con forti, who has been always remarked for his extreme moderation ; and perhaps in this state of transition, when the Neapolitans are about to pass under another regime and a certain sic jubeo power is accorded to the Dictator, such a Ministry is the best that can be chosen. What is wanted, above all things, is harmony of views and thorough honesty in carrying them out. The late Ministry was formed of discordant mate rials ; all pulled in different directions ; and for this reason, perhaps, certain Acts were passed savour ing somewhat of violence and injustice, and which were too precipitate in their character. I must tell you of the funeral of the Bourbons which was enacted by the gamins of the city two or three evenings since. We were startled by the sound of many voices singing a species of new chant ; and running to the Toledo to see what the sport was, we found a long procession of youngsters walking solemnly along, carrying in the midst a bier on which was extended one of their companions. There were lights burning and the usual accompa niments of an ordinary funeral, while all chanted, as with one voice, " Il Borbone e morto, andiamo a sotterrarlo. Viva Garibaldi!" (‘, The Bourbon is dead, let us go and bury him. Long live Gari baldi!") ; and so they walked along with mock seriousness, turning out of the Toledo by the Cafe Europa. I went over to Caserta on Thursday. My im pression is that Garibaldi is in no great hurry to commence any active operations. Time will do everything for him, and Cialdini will probably soon be here, when the enemy, from being pressed on either side, must be shortly crushed. It awakens curious reflections to find one's-self visiting Gari baldi's officers in the apartments of Austrian Archduchesses, and expressions of wonder con stantly rose within me as I drew a contrast be• tween the past and present appearance of things in this Royal residence. All the provinces of Italy were represented here. I chatted away with Lombards and Sicilians, with Venetians and Tus cans. One told me of his adventures in Palermo, and another boasted that he was one of the Cacciatori of Garibaldi who followed him through all his adventures last year. If uniforms indi cated the provinces from which they came, alas, I should say, for the hopes of an united Italy, for almost every man had a different one; in fact, there is as yet no uniform. The red coat or shirt is the prevailing dress, but some were in white, the Vene tians in gray, the Cacciatori of Garibaldi in a dark dress ; the Calabrians, when not in rags, were dressed in black velvet, and the picturesque conical hat and black feather. Not far from the station several officers were instructing the soldiers in the secret of making bridges and carrying them off again. Trains, express and ordinary, were coming up or down laden with soldiers and artillery. There goes an express for the General! Sutlers and the usual followers of a camp were standing or lying about in all directions, and others were singing the hymn of Garibaldi, while cannon were being prepared for going up, and the shirts of the advanced posts could almost be distinguished. While going about the country I have been struck with the readiness with which every one lends himself to make preparations for the relief of the sick or wounded. Yesterday I went into some country villages in another direc tion, and in the houses into which I entered they were all making lint. They had worked I . 4 . ;4 . :L.,. ~.„1 i“,pht. " And here," said one man, " are 1,500 lemons going on to tJuriuttim. I cannot give money, but everything else he shall have." In short, whether in town or country, there seems to be no want of enthusiasm or action in providing everything that is needed for the brave fellows who are fighting for their country —" Though where the things go to I cannot tell, said the director of an hospital ; " they come here by the cartload, but I never see them again." Two offices have been opened, one in Naples and another in Messina, for enrolling and organising Hungarians, who are to be provided with every thing necessary for their formation. This decree was signed at Caserta on Tuesday last. A committee, as you know, exists for doing the same thing by the Venetians. Signor Manin had been requested to act as the president, but has refused. lhe Cressy has come over from'Castellamare, having been relieved by the Renown. The Aga memnon is still at sea, and the men have been exercising at the guns. 1311 ERIAL WEEKLY AVERAGES.

Sir,—May I venture to crave sufficient space in your valuable columns for a few further remarks on the above subject, which some of the observations contained in your article of the 22d inst., and in some subsequent correspondence, lead me to believe may prove useful ? 1. The " preparation of the Trusty," referred to in my former letter, consisted in filling in the port holes with timber and iron plating, of the same thickness as that of the side, in the vicinity of where the ship was to be fired at, so as to prevent the profitless mischief of shot finding entrance at the ports. 2. Nothing could have been easier than to prove the comparative effect of the heavy 68-pounder smooth-bored gun again the sides of the Trusty at the Shoeburyness trials, inasmuch as this gun con stituted the permanent armament of the gunboat from which the firing took place on that occasion, and it was by Po means requisite to remove it in order to make room for the rifled SO•pounder. The reason why it was not used I therefore conclude to be that it was thought useless to do so. A solid 681 b. spherical shot of wrought iron, carefully lathed so as to have the smallest possible windage, was, I am aware, driven from this gun through the plated side of the old Albert at Portsmouth from a. distance of 20 yards; but no shot from this gun has, as I believe, ever yet succeeded in entering a ship with a side of combined timber and plating especially constructed to resist it ' • and if in any single case this has, indeed, been done, the conditions have been, I doubt not, quite as exceptional, in point of range and other circumstances, as those by means of which the rifled " bolt" succeeded. The superior " smashing power" claimed for this gun is said to reside in the greater initial velocity of its shot, a superiority which, even if admitted, is in name and nature essentially ephemeral, and from the range usually adopted at experiments, a distance of 200 yards seems to be the limit assigned -by its advocates for its existence at all. But 2,000 yards is a perfectly effective distance for shot, shell, and carcases of molten iron,rdirected against the sides of a ship of wood ; and if such a ship should indeed succeed in reaching, undamaged, th© above smaller distance from her iron-sided opponent, the signal disparity between the two would only become the more obvious and decisive where every shot on both sides must equally strike, but not at all equally ~.., ......—.-- Xis u, plopuruon or only one-halt or the British shots which decided the close fights of the Nile and Trafalgar bad done no more mischief than that of sticking in the sides of the French ships, history must have had to record very different re sults from those which now adorn her pages in re spect to those battles. 3. Perhaps the most practical mode in which to submit to public judgment the moot question of the effect of "ordinary" broadsides will be thus. Out of the 17 effective shots so deliberately fired at the sides of the Trusty, is it to be expected that a larger proportion than two would have entered the ship if the whole number had been fired at once, with the necessarily more promiscuous and uncertain aim ,of a broadside ? Those who entertain such an ex pectation will perhaps furnish the public with the reason why. 4. With respect to concentrated broadsides, no persons can, I think, be found who has ever wit neesed the serious practice of this mode of attack between any two ships. Concentrated broadsides, and " divisions" of broadsides, for which all our ships are prepared, have, I am well aware, been de livered against targets by well practised crews with formidable accuracy ; but in all such cases favour able circumstances - have been chosen, the focal dis tance has been carefully ascertained, and the firing has been all on one side. Nevertheless it has been seriously proposed to concentrate the entire broad side of a 90 gun ship on some given portion of the side of an iron-clad ship, and thus endeavour to dis pose of the whole question raised by that very dis agreeable Gloire by sending one of her representatives to the bottom—a result which lam bound to admit, under certain conditions, might be practicable. But, besides determining the exact distance, it would require in this case that the ship firing, and the ship to be fired at, should both be fixed in im movable " rests" similar in principle to that pro vided by Mr. Whitworth for her Majesty's coup de grace at Wimbledon. And instead of trusting to the perfectly simultaneous "pull" of the 45 " trigger-lines" of the 45 seamen gunners distri buted over the three decks of a ship 250 feet long, it world also require each gun to be provided with its own voltaic apparatus, and the combined wires be placed in the hands of a single operator. With the tail of the bird thus properly prepared the pro posed " concentration" of " salt" might, no doubt, be effectually applied. Finally, having now fel filled what I have conscientiously regarded as a paramount public duty, viz., to submit for general consideration on a subject of the gravest national importance such information of a relevant nature _ i the course of my professional duties has brogl before me, I have now only to render to yourself,ipsir, my sincere thanks for the very libera _ tunity afforded me for so doing, and toi atiotnhaitt, except for any necessary purpose of exP an ' an y public con is my intention not to be led t. trovers on either the facts or lonfeionrieoninsailn, havessir , y thus o u r felt it m duty to state. —I beg obedient servant, ED Captain R.N.

LEICESTER, pet. 3.—For the time of the y ear there is a fa i r a mount of business doin g ; th e h os iery trade generally being in a h ea lth y state. In the country districts business continues flat, but not more so than is usual at this pe r i o d o f t h e year. H i g h prices are asked for wool, and the market continues firm. Yarns have undergone no change in price. NOTTINGHAM, 3d.—There has been very little doing in the lace warehouses this week, in conse quence of business having been impeded by the holidays of the annual fair. There is not much change to note; plain goods are rather more in quired for, and there is fully as much doing in fancies as for several weeks past. The silk lace trade remains quiet. There is no favourable change to report in the hosiery trade. Very little is doing in any department, but both in lace and hosiery manufacturers are making as little stock as pos sible. A good deal of lace and hosiery machinery has been standing this week, and numbers of the operatives continue out of work. Yarns are un changed in price. CLOSE OF THE SALMON FISHING ON THE EARN. — The rod-fishing on the Earn closed on Saturday. The number of salmon and grilse killed, especially during August and September, exceeds that of any previous sea son for many years past ; and the quantity of sea-trout captured was also large during the summer. Anglers who fished for trout did not enjoy what could be called good sport, owing to the prosence of pike and perch in the river. The river police have now been placed at station? friff: Comrie to Kinkell, for the protection of the Ma cigaPg spaning NOMA. TILE !D_E'R, There seems at length to be some prospect of obtaining at least a clue to the hitherto impene trable mystery of the Road murder. The new in vestigation now going on at Trowbridge has brought to light a number of small particulars con nected with the crime, and at least one fact that will probably prove of considerable importance. It would be improper at this stage of the inquiry to press in all its force the conclusions suggested by the facts against any individual who may be sus pected, and least of all against the nurse who stands charged with the murder; but we may note the course of the investigation, and let the facts it 1 reveals speak for themselves. Mrs. Kent was publicly examined for the first time on Monday, and her evidence, though bring ing out no new facts of a striking character, has yet, as a whole, a significant bearing on the main object of the inquiry. It tends to throw a further light on the general features of the case, as well as on th e con d uc t o f th e ac cused before and after the discovery of the murder. Mrs. Kent deposes that she saw the murdered child put to bed about 8 o'clock on Fri day evening, th e nurse being present and assisting. She went into the room again_to look at the child n about an hour after, thenp d a a final visit at 10 o'clock. The nurse hadcome upstairs for the night, but when Mrs. Kent entered the bedroom to look at the child for the last ti me she was not ot there—at least not in the outer room where the child slept, but in a little room within the nursery, so that Mrs. Kent had to call her out. We lay no particular stress on this circumstance, but simply note it, as any particular is of import ance in such an inquiry where the ascertained facts are so few. Mrs. Kent further deposes that she is a light sleeper, often waking during the night, an d having frequently on previous nights "heard the child crying in the nursery." She woke frequently during this very night, but heard no more till " earl y in the mornin, ' when she "heard a noise which sounded like the drawing-room shutter opening." It is of course impossible to say precisely at what time this was, but the "early morning" generally means when it is getting light; and as it was near the longest day, it would be light on the morning in question soon after three. Mrs. Kent states that " she cannot say she was alarmed," as she thought the servants were astir. She did not wake again till a few minutes after seven, when she arose and began to dress. While she was dressing the nurse knocked at the door, and inquired, " Are neither of the children awake, Ma'am ?" The rest of the dialogue, with the remaining evidence on this point, may be given in Mrs. Kent's own words. " I replied, What—neither of them awake, ' nurse ?' because I was astonished at her ask ing for two. She then said, as well as I can remember, Then Master Saville is not in with you ?' I replied, ' Certainly not.' She then said, 'He is not in the nursery.' I immediately went into the nursery to look for him. I sent her to his sisters' rooms ' • when she came back I asked her when she had missed him. She said, 'At 5 o'clock.' I then asked her why she had not come to tell me before. She said she had not done so because she thought I had gone into the nursery and taken him out. I said to her, How dare you say so ? You know I never do such a thing.' The boy was a very heavy child, and the nurse knew that I was not able to carry him ; in fact, I had never taken him out of his cot—at any rate, while the nurse was asleep. I had told her before that if ever anything was to happen in the nursery to make her uncomfortable in regard to the children she was to come to me." Mrs. Kent swears she had never taken the child from the crib early in the morning when the nurse was asleep, and had specially charged her, if any thing unusual happened with the children, to come to her at once. Yet, on this particular morning, when the nurse, according to her own statement, awoke at 5 o'clock, and found the child gone from his crib, she made no effort whatever to find him, but assuming at once that his mother had taken him—a circumstance, she admits, which had never before happened during her residence in the family —turned round and quietly went to sleep again. This conduct, though no doubt compatible with in nocence, is on all principles of judgment quite sin gular enough to excite surprise and even suspicion. For supposing Mrs. Kent had taken tke child, this was so unusual that, on finding him gone, the first impulse of the nurse who had charge o f him would naturally be to see where he was, and what had led to his removal. As she felt no surprise at the absence of the child, so she appears to have betrayed neither excitement nor alarm when it was discovered that he could not be found. At least, according to the somewhat confused testimony of the under-nurse, Emily Doel, the accused did not even mention the child's absence to her when ehe came in the morning, though she went in and out of the nursery several timo. w ftor Mro. Kent had been informed of the fact. The next point of importance brought out in the evidence is the discrepancy of statement with regard to the blanket found With the murdered child, and in which the body had evidently been wrapped. Two of the constables employed in looking over the premises on the morning of the murder deposed that before the body was found the accused spoke to them of the missing blanket. Morgan, the parish constable, with Urch, one of the county police, went upstairs at half-past seven and asked the nurse to show them the child's crib, which she did. " The clothes," he adds, " were quite smooth—smoother than I should have expected. _ _ I said, ' Do you mean to say that this is where the child was taken from ?' She replied, ' Yes.' The clothes were turned down, and I saw the mark of the little fellow's head on the pillow. I said to the nurse, ' Have you lost anything out of the nursery except the child ?' She replied there was a blanket taken or drawn, I forget which word she used, from the cot ; but there was nothing else missing." Urch gives the same testimony, adding that te nurse said the blanket " might have been drawn • out without removing the quilt." Mrs. Kent, too, knew, before her husband set out for Trowbridge, and, therefore, before the body was found, that the blanket was missing ; and apparently her informant must also have been the nurse, though this is not expressly stated in her evidence. On the other hand, the nurse stated positively to Foley, the .e superintendent of the Wilts county police; tyntou f Wolfe, ~ h a d never missed the blanket till thechild was found." This was stated in the hearing another constable; who confirms Fsoley'sc however, in on this point. This discrepancy i e ,. Its value itself of no very great impor h t ni c er the circum must very much depend on w t evidence g the blanket gone stances under which it comesd?nu telligible motive or not. finding Perfect innocence ; point to some in is, of course, compatible w the circumstances ; but indeed, quite natural under look like a conscious knowledge would certainly denial comes later, and is no the show a desire to conceal the the subsequent and detlaiibneiryate denial of this simple If though inn ()cent . hn . itself, may ness of guilt. after-thought, it may th© which,conscious quencelt ought to'be stated, however, ldiscrepaney of statement with regard knowledge p ear toofgt News. that thetothe blanket comes out in the case of Mr. sam u e i Kent as well as of the nurse.—Daily THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.
