MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The progress of commercial affairs in New York is still indicative of a tendency towards recovery, but the movement is very slow and tedious, and appears to create some disappointment among those engaged in mercantile pursuits. Considering the severe and violent character of the revulsion of last year the improvement, limited as it may seem, is perhaps as satisfactory as could reasonably have been expected, and many of the local papers, in alluding to this subject, justly re mind the commercial public that the business now transacted, though comparatively dull, is legitimate and healthy, whereas the previous animation and extreme buoyancy were produced by reckless speculation, the effects of which are still painfully apparent. The United States Economist nukes the following remarks in reference to the improving tendency of t ade, :—" The prospects are good for a fair business throughout the next two months, and while the demand will be characterised by extreme prudence and moderation it will be sufficient to work the stocks of goods down to as low a point as we could expect. We cannot refrain, while recording the present smoothness and quietude of the business current, from contrasting it with the excitement and ir regularity which so extensively prevailed just one short year ago. Money was worth then per month almost as much as the most usurious capitalist would now ask for its use per annum, and all the channels of business seemed to be hopelessly and permanently bloCked. We have no desire to indulge, in gloomy recollections, but it is well for us sometimes, when tempted to complain of the lack of activity at present, to contrast our present position with that we occupied a year ago. We have recovered rapidly, but our weaker brethern of the 'West require rather more time to place themselves in their old position, and we should not expect anything more of them than their best efforts to extricate themselves from their embarrassments ; next year we shall hear from them as we would wish, and shall reap the benefit of the prudence they are now exercising in buying lightly and sailing close to the wind." The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterdaypresented a steady appearance, and prices of all kinds were fully supported. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, although quotations slightly advanced. At the public sales of indigo, which commenced yesterday, there was a fair attendance of buyers ; good and fine Bengal qualities were at a slight de cline compared with previous rates, but medium sorts realised higher prices. At a meeting, yesterday, of the creditors of Messrs. E. and F. E. Westrup, millers, of Bromley, Who lately failed, a composition of 7s. 6d. in the Pound was accepted. The liabilities are estimated at £13,903, and the assets at £5,222. A sli g h t falling off is now apparent in the demand for money in Lombard-street as well as at the Stock Exchange. First class commercial bills are nego c i a t ed at 21 to 21 per cent., and even if the Bank rate is not reduced it is expected that the terms duri ng the next few days will descend to at ab out 2 p er cent., owing to the increased te -n -ance, resulting from the influx of gold and the release of the dividends. The in clbiry on commercial account, although reviving, still too limited to check the declining tendency nthe rat es , an d the effect of extensive payments, connection with loans and joint-stock enterprise, has not hitherto assumed a permanent form. Owing to the large supply of available means advances on Government securities have been freely negotiated at 11 per cent. Gold is now about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in London, but in Hamburg it is 2 -10ths per cent. cheaper than it is here. In the Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon, a slight downward tendency was apparent. The market for English Securities opened heavily at the reduced quotations current yesterday afternoon. Business continued dull, and no im provement was visible until the Government broker re -appeared as a buyer of Reduced Annuities, when the quotations indicated renewed firmness. Owing _ to th e d oubt respecting the policy of the Bank di rectors, speculation has rece i ve d a temporary check, but money is getting easier, and if the accumulation mar con tinues at th e B an k , the buoyant tone of the probably soon b e restored. Consols haveket will been 981 1 for transfer, and 981 -a for the 10th h ave vely Imo. They are now 981 -2 and 981 t respec ti. Bank Stock is marked 220 to 2211.

In some f the Principal li nes th e amount of stock in the mar o ket is rathe r heavy, andthe " contango" charged for carry ing over to the next account is preposterously high.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—( This Day), BOW-STREET. A determined-looking girl, about 18 years of age, who gave the name of Mary Ann Packman, a fruit-hawker, and John Collins, who appeared to belong to the same class, were placed at the bar, charged with being drunk and as saulting the police. Police-constable F 163, said—Last night I was on duty in Drury-lane, when I heard a loud screaming. On pro ceeding in the direction from whence the discordant sounds proceeded, I found the female prisoner in Brownlow-street, shouting out in such a manner as to disturb the whole neighbourhood. I told her to be quiet and go home, but she refused to do so, and I then took hold of her to take her to the station-house. At this moment the male prisoner came up, and said no peeler should ever take the girl in charge, and began to rescue Packman from my custody. Police-constable 90 F arrived, and got Collins away fro m the girl, who, immediately she saw her companion in charge of the police, commenced a most determined and violent resistance. The two prisoners were, after a great deal of trouble, and the united exertions of three constables, safely locked up. One of the policemen (90 F) was severely bitten in the hand by the woman. Police-constable, 90 F, corroborated the evidence of the former witness. He also stated that the injury inflicted on his hand by Parkman was of the most painful description. A female who unfortunately happened to be in the cell in which Parkman was placed on her arrival at- the Bow street police-station, said—A few minutes after Parkman was locked up she turned round upon me, and flew at me like a tiger. She struck me, knocked me down, and then bit my arm in a very shocking manner. I screamed loudly for assistance, but not until Parkman heard the police ap proaching the cell did she leave off ill-using me, that there might be no witness to the assault, but on the con stable retiring she recommenced assaulting and biting. Mr. Henry (to the prisoners)—What have you to say to this charge ? Packman said she was drunk, and knew nothing about it. Collins said the police assaulted him, and he was the ill-used party. Packman was fined 405., or three weeks' imprisonment ; Collins 205., or 10 days' imprisonment. The prisoners were locked up in default of payment. A CASE OF- STARVATION.—A swarthy-looking man in a very destitute condition, named Roberts, was charged with breaking one of the street lamps in Seven-dials. Police-constable 148 F said—l was on duty last night in Seven-dials, when, hearing a breaking of glass, I looked round and saw the prisoner had broken one of the lamps. He said he did it to get shelter. Mr. Henry-,—What have you to say to the charge ? Prisoner--Correct, sir. Mr. Henry—You know piu have no right to break the street lamps. What did you do it for ? Prisoner—To get a bed to sleep upon. I have got no home, no friends, and am starving. I have been wander ing about hungry for a long time. Mr. Henry—You should have applied for relief to the workhouse. Prisoner—l've done so, but they all refused. I've tried three or four of them. Mr. Henry—Then you should have come here, and they would have been compelled to relieve yell. What are you, a soldier or a sailor ? Prisoner—Both sailor and soldier. I have been 12 years in the East India Company's service, in the 18th Regiment of Bengal Artillery. I have seen much service, and lam now wandering about starving, waiting for my pension. Mr. Henry— But you should not break the street lamps.' • Prisoner—l'm well aware of that, sir. Mr. Henry—When were you discharged from the army, and where is your discharge ? Prisoner—l was discharged in June, 1856. I've lost my paper. Mr. Henry—l am afraid that it was not a good one or it would have been worth keeping. Prisoner—Yes, yer honour, it was. I lost it while I was harvesting. The reason I have no pension at the present time is, that I did not complete 14 years' service, or that I was not disabled or wounded. I have tried to get employ ment, but I have failed, and in a great city like this I am left to starve. Mr. Henry—You should have made the refusal of the parish authorities to relieve you known. at the police-court. As it is, I must send you to prison for five days, unless you can pay for the damage you have done. AQUA TICS. SCULLERS' RACE FOR £6O.—A smilers' race for the above amount came off yesterday, from Cliff Creek to Northfleet Creek, a distance of upwards of six miles, be tween Henry Corby, a waterman of Gravesend, and James Finnis, a waterman of the Tower. The former is scarcely known, although the same age as his opponent, who since 1851 has won race after race, and only lost two or three. There was a great deal of money laid out, Finnis being the favourite at 5 and 6 to 4. Corby won the toss, going over ti the Essex shore, and at the time of starting took a slight lead ; it was rather rough at the time, and Finnis's old fashioned boat not being so good a one as Corby's he began to ship water soon after starting. In the first 200 yards Corby got six or seven lengths ahead, and they rowed with that distance between them for nearly two miles, at a capi tal pace. Then Corby took a longer lead, which he in creased at every stroke, and Finnis eventually gave up half a mile from home, Corby being nearly the same distance ahead at the time. Corby rowed in a boat built by Mr. Wyld, of Lambeth, and was trained by Tom Grant, at Mr. de Wardt's, the old Amsterdam, Gravesend. PAIR-OARED RACE FOR £lO.—A well-contested pair oared race for the above amount was rowed yesterday after noon between four members of the Battersea Alliance Rowing Club. The distance was from Battersea to Putney, the following being the result : Blue and White 1 Mr. Freeland Mr. M`Cullock. E. Weston, coxswain. Green and White . 0 Mr. Bade n , ...........• Mr. Robins E. Thorpe, coxswain. They contended in the club race last Friday, when, owing to a foul, the present match was made. Blue and White were the favourites at 6 to 4, and had the best sta tion on the Middlesex side. The umpires and a referee having been appointed, they got off very evenly together outrigged gigs), and were oar-and-oar for 100 yards, when Blue and White bean to leave their opponents, and off Kensington Creek had drawn their stern-post level with Green and White's stroke thwart. The , pace was exceed ingly good, but Blue and White continued to draw their boat gradually away, and opposite the White Hart were a clear length a-head, ultimately winning by four lengths. SCULLERS' RACE FOR A SILVER CUP.--A capital scullers' race was rowed yesterday afternoon, between Mr. John Moller and Mr. Frederick Everett, two gentlemen amateurs of very considerable pretension as smilers. Meller was the favourite—his friends laying the odds at 5 to 4. A referee having been chosen, they got to their sta tions—Everett winning the toss. In Fetting away, Meller had a slight lead, but' it was very trifling and momentary, and then his opponent became scull and scull, and at Finch's was nearly a length a-head, and after a most exciting race went in the winner by two lengths. The distance was from Putney-bridge to Hammersmith-bridge, TESTIMONIAL TO THE REV. JOSEPH DITCHER. —We are rejoiced to learn that a suitable and handsome testimonial has just been presented to the Rev. Joseph Ditcher, M.A., vicar of South Brent, " in recognition of his firm and consistent maintenance of the cause of truth in the face of much opposition and reproach, in the case of Ditcher v, Denison." The testimonial consists, as we understand, of a large-sized polyglot Bible, a pocket Bible, and a fine quarto copy of the Book pf Common Prayer and of the Book of Homilies; all being richly bound and bear ing appropriate inscriptions. —National Standard. DECLINE OF UNITARIANISM.—The In quirer (Unitarian 'organ) has the following remarks on the decline of Unitarianism :-=" Year by year our congregations grow weaker—often in numbers, more often s till in s oc i a l influ ence and relative importance. It is but a short time since the treasurer of one of our institutions assured us that the denomination to which we belong is gradually changing its character altogether, and that he now drewhis subscrip tion from the lower grade in the middle class. Or if we take individual congregations, we find the same re sult; and Wakefield, Exeter, and Norwich, are but indivi dual examples of a universal rule. Liverpool has doubled and trebled its population, and the three Unitarian con gregations which existed at the beginning of the century barely maintain their ground eith'er socially or numerically." On the other hand, we learn from the Leeds Mercury that the Rev. W. Forster, of Kentish-town, who quitted the Independent body some time ago and joined the Unitarians, spoke at Sunderland at the settlentent of the Rev. C. Matthews as Unitarian minister there. Mr. Forster said this was the third minisk‘r, formerly orthodox, whom he had introduced ; that his own congregation num bered many from the Independents, Baptists, and Esta blished Church ; that many Independent ministers did not believe what they preached—and among them a " pet " minister—and that some were Unitarians. NEW CARTRIDGE.—In one of the Gazelles last week appeared a notice of a new invention of some interest, which has received provisional protection. This is a new cartridge. The inventor—Mr. George Redford—late acting-assistant-surgeon of the 58th Regiment, a very ingenious gentleman, has contrived a means of making bullets and cartridges for the Enfield rifle out of the same piece of metal, and at the same moment. The cartridge is a prolongation of the bullet into a very thin leaden sheath, which can be charged, folded, and secured. The metal cartridge sheath breaks readily away from the bullet. Of course, if not incompatible with the requirements of good shooting, this kind of cartridge will have many advantages. It can be produced cheaply, and with extreme rapidity—by millions in a day, w ith the proper machinery. When charged and fastened up, bullet and cartridge may be thrown into water and yet sustain no injury. This offErs great advantages, especially for naval purposes, and tLe transport of 1114135013 a oxamunition by sea. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. THE GREAT CESAREWITCH DAY. TUESDAY.

Owing to the exclusion of the representatives of the Lon don press from the weighing room, and the obstructions which are thrown in their 'way rendering it extremely dif ficult to obtain accurate information of the running, we give the subjoined account of the race, " subject to correc tion." We could not determine the relative positions of the horses on coming through " choke jade." At the ditch gap, however, Scribbler held a slight lead, and running on the extreme left was English Rose second, followed by Ma lacca, Zouave, and Janet as nearly as we could make out in the order named. At the head of the ruck were Mr. Sykes, Underhand, and Odd Trick, the others clustering close together at their heels, the extreme rear being brought up by Mdlle. de Chantilly, Poodle, Fearful, and Bird-in the-hand, Mr. Bowes's colt being at that point the " abso lute last." As they approached the new ground Zouave took the command, and was soon in possession of a clear lead, his immediate followers being Scribbler, Rocket, Phy sician, English Rose, the Brewer, Malacca, Underhand. and Prioress, the American mare being outpaced early, but running with great gameness under the determined riding of Fordham. On reaching the bushes a change in the fore most positions occurred, for Zouave dropped back, and Physician, English Rose, Malacca; and Underhand no longer showed in the front rank. On their disappearance The Brewer obtained the lead, Rocket, Prioress, whom Fordham never "left," going on second and third, with Satinstone, Zouavo, The Courier, Turned Loose, Beacon, and Scribbler next in pursuit, but with scarcely a ghost of a chance of overhauling the leaders. Half way in the cords Rocket shot out and the American mare and The ilrewee joined issue, one of the most exciting races ever seen ending in favour of Rocket by a head, Prioress-- thanks to the admirable riding of Fordham—running a dead heat with The Brewer for second place. Two lengths off Satinstone (placed by the judge) was fourth, and about four lengths from him were Zouave, The Courier, Turned Loose, Beacon, and Scribbler. At the head of the ruck were Mr. Sykes and Fearful, and far in the rear wore Odd Trick, Bellona, Vandermuelin, and Me lissa. Several lengths behind them were English Rose, The Grand Secret, and Mdlle. de Chantilly. Leamington broke down.

Lord Chesterfield's Telegram, 3 yrs, Bst 71b, received 50 sous ft from Mr. R. Ten Broeck's Babylon, 4 yrs, Bst 71b. The withdrawal of The Roman Candle, and the fact that Prioress should again run a dead heat for the race—but this time for second place only—were the most remarkable inci dents connected with the Cesarewitch. The winner had, from some cause or other, been long unpopular in the mar ket, albeit his party, despite the opposition which the horse encountered in the ring and the sinister reports which were circulated' about him on all occasions, publicly expressed their confidence in Rocket's chance. His success is the more gratifying to his party from the fact that they sold Beacon, who was at one time an immense favourite, for L. 50 only. Rocket was ridden with admirable skill by little Custance, one of the most promising light weights of the day. The principal winners are " Mr. Howard" (to whom the horse formerly belonged), Mr. E. Green, and Mr. G. Hodg man, Mr. G. Lambert, Mr. Torrance, and the trainer. LATEST BETTING LAST NIGHT.

Fresh up, to-day, the receipts of English wheat were limited ; but we had a few of Monday's unsold samples from Kent on offer. For good and fine parcels the demand may be considered steady, at full prices ; but other kinds were dull, at Monday's currency. Only 1,510 quarters of foreign wheat having come in, holders were firm in their demands; but the amount of business doing was limited, on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain sold at full currencies. Fine malting barley sold steadily, other kinds slowly, at previous rates. Malt was in fair inquiry, but not dearer. For oats there was a steady demand, and prices were well supported. In beans and peas only . a limited business was doing; but for flour there was an improved inquiry. ARRIVALS TR'S '.SEER. Wheat.

The ecaths in London, which had been in the previous week 1,021, declined in the week ending I Saturday, Oct. 9, to 993. In the ten years, 1848- 57, the average number of deaths in the weeks cor responding with last week was 1,073 ; but as the deaths returned for last week occurred in an in creased population, the average, with a view to comparison, should be raised in proportion to the increase, a correction which will make it 1,180. When the deaths from cholera in epidemic seasons are eliminated from the calculation, the comparison will show that the deaths in the present return are less by about 100 than would have resulted from the average rate of mortality at the beginning of October, Sixty-three districts of England, in which the mor tality is least, have been selected, and their average rate of mortality in the last three months of the year has been ascertained. If the deaths in London last week had been according to " the healthy rate" thus obtained, and which it is useful to adopt as a standard, they would have been 770 ; and the ac tual excess, or the number of unnatural deaths, is 223. The mortality from scarlatina continues to in crease, the deaths from it having risen from 125 and 134 in thetssto previous weeks to 145 last week. All of these 145 deaths, with the exception of 10, occurred to children under 10 years of age. The corrected average of this disease for 10 correspond ing weeks is 76. It reached a higher mortality than the present return shows in the first week of October, 1848, when the deaths from it rose to 180. Six deaths front scarlatina were registered last week in the sub-district of St. Margaret, West minster, six in Islington East, and seven in Bow. Of 41 violent deaths registered last week, 11 were eases of suicide. Last week the births of 810 boys and 711 girls, in all 1,521, were registered in London. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1818-57 the average number was 1,382. At the loyal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week WIZS 2'9.685 in. The barometric pressure varied from 29:266 29.92 in. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 52.1 deg., which is 0.4 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr Glaisher). The thermometer in the shade attained its highest point on Sunday, when it was 69.5 deg.; it fell to its lowest point on Saturday, when it was 35.4 deg. The range of the week was, therefore, 34.1 de;;. The mea n d a il y range was 19.7. The dif ferencebetwem the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 6.9 deg. The mean tem perature of the water of the Thames was 58.1 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 75. The wind was nearly always south-west. The rain fall was 0.47 in. In the 13 weeks ending Saturday, Oct. 2, 14,345 deaths were registered in London ; a number which differs little from that of the same quarter of last year, when it was 14,259. The mcaii temperature of the quarter was 61 deg., which is lower by 2.3 deg. than that of the corresponding period of last year, but higher than those of the preceding three years. Of the 14,345 deaths, 5,032 attributed to diseases of the zymotic character, constitute a high proportion, which is drawn to the extent of more than than four fifths from the youngest of the popu lation. Scarlatina has carried off many children, and it has increased manifestly during the latter half of the quarter. The deaths- referred to it are 1,243, and more numerous than in any of the cor responding quarters of 1854-57, in which the num bers varied from 349 to 978. Croup and hoopinp,-- cough also exhibit an increase on those quarters. Diarrhoea and summer cholera have been percep tibly less fatal than usual. In the summer quarter of 1857 the deaths from the former of these com- plaints were 2,343, from the latter 177 ; while the respective numbers of the quarter now terminated are 1,391 and 90. Of 500 deaths produced by means of violence, 412 were the results of accident or negligence, 21 were by murder or m anslaughter, and 67 by suicide. .; ct no TREATMENT OF THE APPARENTik, DR 01V2VE D. The following instructions for the resuscitation of the apparently drowned have been extensively circulated by the National Lifeboat Institn:ion throughout the United Kingdom and our Colonies. They contain the latest discoveries on this im portant subject, the Institution having taken great pains to obtain the opinion of the medical profession generally,both at home and on the Continent, on the comparative merits of this and the antiquated plan hitherto adopted in this country. Of the 300 medi cal men, some of them representing medical bodies, who gave the society tilde opinion on the subject, 254 were entirely in favour of the new method, 10 on the side of the old plan, and 36 were undecisive. It should be stated that the leading principles of the instructions arc these of the eminent physiolo gist, the late Dr. Marshall Hall. 1.

We are inclined to hope that the Sappho may haveget dismasted in a hurri cane, and have made for some, of the East India or Sey chelle Islands, from which no intelligence could reach. We understand that orders were despatched to Sir Frederick Grey in August to send a steamer to follow in the presumed track of the Sappho, in hopes of gaining som,e information, the result of which search cannot yet be known.— United Service Gazette. 7.r0 CLEAR THE THROAT- 2. Place the patient gently face downwards, with one wrist under the forehead, in which position all fluids will escape by the mouth, and the tongue itself will fall forwards, leaving the entrance into the windpipe free. Assist this operation by wiping and cleansing the mouth. If there be breathing—wait and watch ; if there be no breathing, or if it fail, then— TO - EXCITE RESPIRATION. 3. Turn the patient well and instantly on the side, and— 4. Excite the nostrils with snuff, hartshorn, volatile salts, or the throat with a feather, &c., and dash cold water on the face, previously rubbed warm. If there be no success, lose not a moment, but in stantly To IMITATE RESPIRATION— 5. Replace the patient on the face, raising and supporting the chest well on a folded coat., or other article of dress. 6. Turn the body very gently on the side and a little beyond, and then briskly on the face, alter nately; repeating these measures deliberately, etticimtly, and perseveringly about fifteen times in the minute, or every four seconds, occasionally varying the side. By placing the patient on the chest, it is compressed by th e we i ght of the body, and expiration takes place ; when turned on the side, this pressure is removel, and inspiration occurs. 7. On each occasion that the body is replaced on the face, make unifcrai but efficient pressure with brisk movement, on the back between and below the shoulder-blades or bones on each side, removing the pressure immediately before turning the body on the side ; [the first measure increases the expi ration, the second commences inspiration]. *** The result is —R es pi ra ti on or N a t ura l Breathing—and, if not too late—Life. 8. After respiration has been restored, promote warmth of the body by the application of hot flan nels, bottles or bladders of hot wat er , h e ated bricks, &c., to the pit of the stomach, the arm-pits, between the thighs, and to the soles of the feet. To INDUCE CIRCULATION AND "WARMTH 9. During the whole time do not cease to rub the limbs upwards, with firm grasping pressure and with energy, using liandkv,rchiefs, flannels, &c. (by this measure the blood is propelled along the veins towards the heart). 10. Let the limbs be thus warmed and dried, and then clothed, the bystan ders su pplying the requi site garments.

Nor roll the body on casks ; 5. Nor rub the body with salt or spirits ; 6. Nor inject tobacco-smoke or infusion of tobacco. 7. Avoid the continuous warm-bath. 8. Be particularly careful to prevent persons crowding around the body. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. On the restoration of life, a teaspoonful of warm water should be given ; and then, if the power of swallowing have returned, small quantities of wine, or brandy and water warm, or coffee. The patient should be kept in bed, and a disposition to sleep encouraged. - The treatment recommended should be perse vered in for a considerable time, as it is an errone ous opinion that persons are irrecoverable because life does not, soon make its appearance, carsaving been successfully treated after perseverfne several hours. AN INFURIATED Cow.--Considerable alarm was occasioned on Sunday evening in the neighbourhood of Trinity Church, Blackheath-hill, owing to several persons having been attacked by an infuriated cow belonging to Mr. Searle, farmer, of Lee. It appears that. the animal hed been confined in a shed on the lam during the day, and about six o'clock contrived to make its escape. Two lads, in an endeavour to drive it back, were knocked down with considerable violence. The animal then made its way on to Blackheath-hill, just as the congregation were about enter ing Trinity Church, two police constables beino• attacked and thrown down during its progress, as alsi) a fel I° name d Collins, residing in Bennett-street, Blackheath-hill The latter e internal on Blackheath injußrilaesc.Tahtho, where cow con tinued course e ed er un se ti v lit arrived was secured against committing any further mischief. ,~s VD their the ages, have any ra . as Ire -1 be it in hem 174, 20 1 1 Stock Sto.l Stock 20 201 20i 100 100 100 Stock' Share) Stockl Steckl a
