MIIMEII! ;rine, mple later: f the I well s the r his that tron s. A Ann Mr. I' the MONEY MARXB2' AND CITY IVETV,S. CITY, Two o'CLom. The payments of the 4th of the month have pro ceeded in a satisfactory manner, the mercantile communit?having been enabled to provide for their engagements on easy terms. Several circumstances have •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 I per cent. under the Bank of England minimum quotation. The rate of discount at Vienna has been raised by the Bank of Austria to 5,- 1 , 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 93Z- 1 for money, and 93 for the account. This improve ment has been caused by an advance in the value of the French Funds, and more favourable tenour of the advices from the South of Europe. India Stock remains at 218; ditto New Loan is firm at 1031 2; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper at 961 ; and the Debentures are flat at 962; Exchequer Bills have improved to ls. and 4s. prem. Increased activity has prevailed in the Foreign Stock Market, and prices have further improved. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 73i to 741 ; ditto New, 56 to 561; and the 4 per Cents. have advanced to 1012, Mexican to 22Z 1, Brazilian 42 per Cents. to 871 1, Sardinian to 841, Russian Scrip to 11 prem., Spanish 3 per Cents. to 481, ditto Certifi- . cates to 61 1, and Peruvian 3 per Cents. to 73-a ; ditto 41 per Cents. are firm at 941, and Venezuelan at 24. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 11 21 preen. ; the Thames and Mersey, I Z- prem. ; and the Universal, 1 a prem. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under :- 1860. 1859.

On the Brighten there is a decrease of £55 ; the South Eastern, of £968 ; and the Great Northern, of £1,295. 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. Great Western, London, Chatham, and Dover, South-Western, and South-Eastern, have improved 10s. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North-Western, £1 ; North Eastern (Berwick) and Midland, £1 ss. to £1 10s.; and West Midland, £1 10s. to £2. The Foreign lines were quiet, although prices were well maintained. South Austrian and Lom bardo:Venetian advanced to 111, and Great Luxem bourg to 71. In the Colonial Market the Canadian lines have been very buoyant. Grand Trunk have advanced to 4 ; and Great Western,l to 1 ; East Indian improved 1.

At the inquest held on his body : last evening, by Mr. Langham, in the Westminster Hospital, st it appeared that his father had cautioned de ceased from st going on to the oven, because on the previous Sunday some dust had fallen in. Robert Lawrence, in Drake's employ ment, said he was with the deceased a little before 8 on Wednesday morning last. The deceased, as usual, w ent on 61 the crown of the arch for some wood to light the kitchen at fire. The father was out at the time. He (witness) took up a board of bread into the shop, and while placing the loaves round the shop on the shelves he heard frightful screams proceeding from the bakehcuse, and being joined by his fellow servant they ran down stairs, and found that the poor boy was in the oven, but owing to the dust and smo ke they were unable t o ex t r i cate him for a space of about three minutes. The jury returned the following verdict •. " That the deceased died from the effects of burns, conse quent on falling into an oven, and there was considerable neglect in not having had the oven repaired."

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 LArl of Derby, --.ga ily s MagaZinffOr October, SNARE 111ARKET.-(TATS DA Y.)

CORN EXCHANGE. MEAT MARKETS. NAPLES, SEPT. 20. 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, Ginza, 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 :ong 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, " Ii Borbone e morto, andiamo a sotterrarlo. Viva Garibaldi!" ("The Bourbon is dead, let us go and bury him. Long live Geri 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 nll milking lint. They had worked at it day and night. " And here," said one man, " are 1,500 lemons going off to Garibaldi. 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 tgingsgo 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.

IMPROVEMENTS AT HOLYROOD.—During the Queen's late visit to Edinburgh plans wore finally approved for the erection of now stables and coachhouse at Holyrood Palace, A very convenient site was some time ago pur chased for the purpose, and last session a vote was taken towards the expense, which it is understood will amount to £3,000 or £4,000. The site is immediately opposite the Palace, forming ono of the sides of the great quadrangle; and the whole ground between the present blank wall and the lane running parallel to it, known as the Horse Wynd,will be available for the new erection, with the exception of the ground occupied by the Abbey Courthouse, and one or t wo other buildings. "While the ordinary entrance will be from the Horse Wynd, an ornamental gateway opp os it e th e P a l ace will give direct communication with the quadrangle. The structure will also include a new guardhouse for the maili • tary, who at present have apartments in the vestibule. The building will be masked from the Palace by an elegant facade, which will greatly enhance the appearance of the quadrangle. Among various improve men t s i n progress i n connec tion with Holyrood is the construction of a reservoir on Salisbury crags for the supply of the beautiful fountain lately erected in front of the Pi!lace. The reservo i r i s 45ft. square and 12ft. deep, divided into five comp ar t men t s , laid with Caithness pavem ent, and lined with masonry 2ft. thick. The various compartments will be arched over, and the whole ground will be turfed over, to conceal the work. Pipes have been laid cqunecting the re servo i r w ith the fountain, and an overflow pipe communicates with St. Margaret's loch. This supply of water is derived from the springs on the hillside.

I TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. 61 r,—May I venture to crave sufficient space in your valuable olumns for a few further remarks on the above subject, which some of the observations contained in y our art i cle 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 ifn thethe port holes with timber and i ron plating of as that of the sid e , i n the vicinityo same 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 thanc pounder op n ro d v e - r e the comparative effect of the heavy s 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 no means requisite to remove it in order to make room for the rifled 80-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,' directed against the sides of a ship of wood ; and if such a ship should indeed succeed in reaching, undamaged, the 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 " strike home." If a proportion of only one-half of the British shots which decided the close fights of the Nile and Trafalgar had 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 would 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 ful filled what I have conscientiously regarded as a paramount public duty, viz., to submit for general ....idoraaon on a zubjcct of tho gravest national importance such information of a relevant nature as the course of my professional duties has brought before me, I have now only to render to yourself, sir, my sincere thanks for the very liberal oppor tunity afforded me for so doing, and to add that, except for any necessary purpose of explanation, it is my intention not to be led into any public con troversy on either the facts or opinions I have thus felt it my duty to state.—l beg to remain, sir, your obedif..Prt. servant, E. P. HALSTED, Captain R.N. Tallaah-a-Bhiethe, Perthshire, Sept. 29. CONSUMPTION OF V INE. The consumption of wine since the reduction of duty has scarcely realised the anticipations enter tamed. Periods of transition, however, are always unsatisfactory, and the change of system will not be fairly tested until we shall have had some few months' experience of the low rates which are to come into operation on the Ist of January. In 1859, under the old duty of ss. 9d. per gallon, the consumption during the first eight months of the year showed an increase of about 10 per cent. over the corresponding period of 1858. During the same months of the present year the increase has not been more than 131 per cent. Assuming that under ordinary cir cumstances the rate of progress would have been the same as in the preceding year—a result which, look ing at the extreme prosperity of the trade of the country can scarcely be doubted, the increase at tributable to the reduction of the duty to 3s. would appear to have been limited to 3 per cent. The preparations for an augmented demand appear, however, to have been very active. Our total im portations of wine from the Ist of January to the 31st of August, 1859, were 4,917,144 gallons, and this year they have been 9,063,658 gallons, showing an increase of more than 84 per cent. As a con sequence the stocks in the bonded warehouses at the end of last month amounted to 12,487,702 gallons, being 2,800,380 gallons in excess of the quantities at that date of 1859. At the same time it is to be remarked that although the consumption shows but an unimportant change in amount it has greatly varied with regard to qualities. Thus the South African wine taken into use has fallen from 530,276 gallons to 318,018, while the Gallonsdtoscriptions have increased from 85,711 gto 178,517, and the French from 478,595 909,031. Of ports, the consumption has remainedgallons stationary, amounting to 1,248,315 g al . l t ons as P ri f . sherry and other Spanish descriptions, s i .n h 185 1 9, creased in about the same proportion as more than the total taken being 2,19G,803, :or 40 per cent. of our aggregate coristuhmopitiniopunro t f at w io in n e s of all kinds.

ST/11E OF TRADE. LEICES TER, Oct. 3.—For the tim e o f th e year t h er e is a f a ir amount of busi ness d o i ng ; the hosiery trade generally being in a h ea l t h y state. In the country districts business continues flat, but not more so than is usual at this period of the year. High 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 FISIIING ON THE EARN. The rod-fishing on the Earn dosed on Saturday. Tho 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 see .g sea-trout h? captured was also large during the summer. Anglers w fished for trout did not enjoy what could be ca lled r ood sport, owing to the prosence of pike and perch itithe from The river police have now been place d at stations Da the Cowrie to Kinkel], for the protoetion of tho Ash Ppmvuipg $940911, THE ROAD MURDER, IThere 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 f4cts it 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 w h o l e, a s i gn i ficant bearing on the ma i n object of the inquiry. It tends to throw a further light on the general features of the case t before and. as on the conduct of the ac cusedanicd. after the discovery of the murder. Mrs. Kent deposes that she saw the nurse murdered childbed about 8 o'clock on Fri day evening, th e She went into the room being o present and assisting. ain .d to look at the chiid about an hour after, and ab o'clock. The nurse had the p n al com a : com e a al upstairsvisi visit at the W night, but when Mrs. Kent entered the bedroom to look at the child for the last time she was not 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, and having frequently on previous nights "heard the child crying in the nursery." She woke frequently during this very night, but heard no more till" early in the morning," when she "heard a noise which sounded like the drawin room shutter opening." It is of course impos s ible - 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 t:e 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 the child, this was so unusual that, on finding him gone, the first impulse of the nurse who had charge of 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 she came in the morning, though she went in and out of the nursery several times after Mrs. 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 the 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 inforsmnantot must also have been the nurse, though this expressly stated in her evidence. y °oriFelcy, the hand, the nurse stated superintendent of the Wilptsoscietiuvnetly child was " had never missed the blanket tut t e of Wolfe, found." This was stated in thehen g F o l e y's evidence another constable, who confirms p t o h lice, that she is, however, in on this point. This discrypnaonielance.
