Th• economical designs of the lieutenant-general do not stop here. He has prepared a list of over 100 generals, and is urging upon the Secretary of War the advisability of their immediate discharge. The Nashville papers say that cholera among cattle, which generally precedes the cholera among the human race, is prevailing thoroughout the State. Cattle and hogs are dying of it at a feaKul rate, and a few Cases closely resembling cho!era have, it is said, made their appearance at Nashville. Major-General George B.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. P. Wilde.) CHETWYND V. CHETWYND. There were three motions in this case, which were set down for hearing to-day ; and it will be remembered that the wife obtained a decree nisi against her husband. The Queen's Advocate, at the sitting of the Court this morning, said that his learned friend, Dr. Dean, was desir ous that the witnesses in this case should be heard in Chambers, and he, on the part of Mrs. Chetwynd, had . no objection to that course being adopted. Mr. Staveley llill, on behalf of the intervener, also ccn curred in the adoption of the course proposed. Sir J. P. Wilde said that the court could of course have no objection to acceding to the application of the learned counsel, provided he could do so according to practice. To-morrow he would state whether ho would hear the case in Chambers or in open court. Ho intended to have suggested to-day that, as there was a large number of other motions on the list, it would be advisible to let the motions in this case stand over until to-morrow, when he would take them. Mr. Hawkins, who appeared for Mr. Chetwynd, applied to have the motions fixed for Thursday, as he would be absent to-morrow, which the Court agreed to. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE LIEUT. GOUGH. This bankrupt was described as a lieutenant in the Dragoon Guards, and to-day he came up for the order of discharge. The debts (due chiefly to officers of the Madras Army) are £2,317, all unsecured; and the deficiency is £2,245, the cause of the failure being actions against the bankrupt by his Indian creditors. It was understood that the bankrupt will eventually become entitled to property, and Mr. Aldridge, fcr the assignees, said that something should be done in reference to this. His Honour made a conditional order. IN RE SIR J. E. EARDLEY, BART. This case has been before the Court on many occasions, and to-day it was again, in the list, but it was understood that private arrangements are likely to take the matter out of court. (Mr. Commissioner Goubourn.) IN RE JEMIMA ROWLAND. This bankrupt, a fashionably attired young woman, de scribed as a spinster, of Westbourne-terrace, whose case has before been mentioned, received her order of discharge, the debts due to West-end tradesmen being considerable. Mr. Registrar Winslow not being empowered to act, the greatest confusion prevails in his court, and the result of his necessary absence is seriously felt. His appointment to the vacant commissionership would be a popular one. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings at Banco before Lord Chief Justice Erle, and Justices Keating, Willes, and Byles.) THOMAS V. WALSII.-ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT OF A PATENT. Sir H. Cairns, on the part of the defendant in this suit, applied for a rule calling on the plaintiff to show cause why a verdict which he had obtained should not be set aside, and a verdict entered for his client on all the issues. Tho case was tried before Lord Chief Justice Erle and a jury at the sittings after last term. The patent which it was alleged was infringed was stated by the plain tiff to be an improvement over the existing mode of work ing sewing machines. It appeared that by modes which the patentee proposed to supersede the feeder and holder of the machine were different parts of the apparatus, and operated in a peculiar manner on the fabric to be stitched . The patentee stated that by his invention both parts were united, the effect of which would enable it to be moved more rapidly along the machine, thereby increasing the facilities for the stitching of the material. The first specification of the material was made in 1853 and the last in 1861, between which there was a very moderate variation, which the learned counsel con tended deprived the patentee of the right to protection of his alleged invention. It was further argued that there was no substantial difference in the respective process of the patentee and those already in operation. The rule was granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day, BOW-STREET. THE ATTEMPTED MURDER. IN COVENT GARDEN.—Janes Murphy was placed at the bar, on remand, charged with cutting and wounding Mary Anne , Jennings, with intent to murder her. Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, said he was instructed by the family of Miss Jennings to prosecute the prisoner at the bar on the charge of attempting to murder the young lady-. He regretted to say that since the last examination there was little improvement in the state of Miss Jennings. Ho hold in his hand a certificate from Dr. Travers, the medical officer of Charing-cross Hospital, which was as follows : " Miss Mary Anuo Jennings is not in a fit state to appear at the police-court to-day." " Charing-cross Hospital, Nov 4." Mr. Lewis further said ho was afraid that Miss Jen nings would not bo sufficiently recovered to appear at the expiration of another week, if even she survived the in juries she had received. Under these circumstances ho had to ask his worship to remand the prisoner for another week, as he (Mr. Lewis) was aware that there was no power to enable a magistrate to remand for a longer period. Mr. Abrams, who appeared for the prisoner, said another remand was unquestionably necessary, though the certifi cate was somewhat vaguely worded, as it did not set forth those details which Mr. Lewis had stated. He was sorry the young lady could not attend, but he earnestly hoped that there was no ground for apprehending a fatal result. Mr. Flowers said the position of the prisoner would not be at all injured by the granting a further remand. The proceeding with the case at the present time would not be of the slightest benefit to him. Mr. Abrams was quite of that opinion. He hoped his worship did not understand him to object to another re mand. Mr. Lewis observed that it would bo bettor to make the remand for eight days. Mr. Flower thought that would bo the most judicious way, and the prisoner was accordingly remanded until Wednesday woek. stati on-house, when she revived, and walked the remainder of the distance. Mr. Partridge said the conduct of the prisoner was very brutal in beating the woman into a state of insensibility, and then kicking her. The only reason he did not send the prisoner to gaol without the option of paying a fine was that the complainant assaulted his mother, and that he was labouring under excited feelings in consequence. He fined the prisoner £5, and in default of payment two months' imprisonment. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Da: Market op*s quiet and prices are easier. Sales, probably 5,000 bales. Business of New Orleans. The receipts of the port of New Orleans for Customs alone for the mouth of September are stated as fol lows : For imports in September, paid in gold 5 99 5,626 30 For fees, &c., paid in currency 6,938 07 Total $232,564 37 • We will compare the above statement with the figures for the month of September, 1861, and it will be seen how immense, comparatively, is the increase : For imports paid in g old $25,143 32 For fees, &c., paid in currency Total 527,654 95 Or to recapitulate and show the difference more clearly:— Collections for September, 1865 5232,564 37 Collections for September, 1864 Differenco in favor of 1865 5204,909 42 This added to the Internal Revenue collections, which aro now fully three-quarters of a million per month, show that New Orleans is now paying nearly a million dollars per month, after deducting expenses, into the National Treasury, and it would be impossible to do this without considerable business was being transacted. Imports of foreign goods to the New Orleans market have been very extensive, and it is predicted that French and English dry goods, wines, and fancy articles, will soon be cheaper in New Orleans than in New York. The ship llymdall arrived at New Orleans a few days ago with a cargo on which duties had to bo paid before the goods could be delivered to the consignees, amounting to $115,000, in gold; and this is only ono illustration of the rapidly im proving trade of this port.

Arrived.—North of Scotland, from Sundswall ; from Kragoroo ; Emmanuel, from Hudickswall ; Bertha, steamer, from Christiania.; Germania, steamer, from Son ning. The Metropolis Sewage and Essex Reclamation Company have made a call of £2 per share, payable on or before Saturday, Dec. 4, at Messrs. Glyn, Mills, Currie, and Co., and Messrs. Drummond. At a general meeting of the shareholders in Hewitt and Co. an ad interim dividend of 10 per cent. was declared, free of income tax. It was stated that the condition of the fleet of fishing ves sels was very satisfactory, and the steam vessels already built had rendered efficient service in se curing a quick despatch of fish to market. PROPOSED PARK AT PECKHAM-RTE.—The preser vation of the open spaces of the metropolis on the southern side of the Thames has stirred the energies of the vestrymen and ratepayers of Camberwell. At the vestry meeting held last week a select committee of the vestry was ap pointed, with the object of acquiring the smaller commons adjoining Peckham-rye, and constituting the whole into an informal park.—South London Chronicle. HOSPITAL FOli CONSUMPTION, BROMPTON.—The 20 male patients of this hospital who will pass the ensuing winter in Madeira will sail to-day. They will assemble at the hospital at 11.30, will dine together at 12.15, and then be conveyed to Cadogan Pier, whence (at one) they will proceed by special steamer, with sundry members of the committee, on board the Maria Pia steamer, which will sail for Madeira forthwith from Hermitage Pier. SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM.—During the week ending Nov. 4 the visitors have been as follow : On Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday (free days), open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., 8,736 ; on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (students' days—admission to the public, 6d), open from 10 a.m. till 4 p.m., 1,558 ; total, 10,294 ; from the opening of the museum, 5,634,480. CRYSTAL PALACE.—ONE SHILLING DAY.—Yes terday the 'admissions on payment wore 5,881; do. by season tickets, 3,560 ; total visitors, 9,381. THE CATTLE PLAGUE AT SANDRINGHAM.—The Rinderpest has made its appearance on the Royal estate at Sandringham. A couple of home-bred stock, bred by Mr. James Mitchell, of Wolferton, and purchased re cently by Mr. Carmichael for the Prince of Wales, have died from this terrible disease. Tho herd of which they formed a part were only brought off the marshes to the Park last week. At Wolferton the disease was discovered on Sunday at Mr. Gayford's, one of his royal highness's tenants, two bullocks being found on inspection on Mon day to be very bad, as also a heifer of Mr. Mitchell's. The inspector yesterday ordered them to be destroyed. All the markets and fairs in the district have been stopped. At Dersingliam, 22 bullocks have either died or been killed, and several others aro infected. A FARMER WITHOUT ARMS.—The American Agriculturist gives an account, received from Onondaga county, New York, of a farmer who was born without arms. " Instead of appealing to the charitable for support, he commenced early to help himself. His first property was a hen and chickens, next a pot lamb, and afterwards a shaggy colt. He took good care of these, and increased his stock a little at a time until he became a prosperous farmer. Having no hands he learned to use his toes, which wore longer than common. His legs were also very flexible, and by practice he was enabled to readily perform most opera tions with ease. He put on and took off his own clothing, shaved and fed himself, milked his own cows, and took part in most labours of the farm. He was a terror to evil doers, whom ho could punish with severity. Ho was powerfully built and possessed of great strength in the head and shoulders. He would butt like a ram, or seize an offending urchin with his teeth and shake him with bull dog tenacity. He is dead --died at the age of 70, leaving a large family—having been married three times." THE LIFEBOAT PALMERSTON.—A benevolent gen sleman, a member of the Stock Exchange, hasplaced at the disposal of the National Lifeboat Institution a sum of £4OO to enable it to place a lifeboat on the coast to be called the Palmerston, and to bo stationed at Cullercoats, near the mouth of the Tyne, in lieu of the former lifeboat there which was becoming unfit for further service. A ROMAN MOSAIC PAVEMENT has been discovered at Exeter. A commencement has been made of the works for the Pneumatic Railway ; which is to connect Waterloo Terminus with Whitehall by means of a tunnel under the Thames. BUTTERFLIES. - -Large numbers of the clouded yellow butterfly (Edusa) have been seen at Ventnor, in the Isle of Wight. The wings aro soft, and the insect is per fect, showing that they are fresh from the chrysalis. This is the third brood this season. - LIEUT.-GENERAL SIR RICHARD AIREY, the new Governor of Gibraltar, has appointed as his aides d aide-de-camp e-c ainp°aPta to in S il ir IroNod., of the 25th Regiment, who was Codrington, and Li eu t. B o lt on J. A. Monsen, 73d Regiment. As we mentioned some weeks back, Lieut.-Colonel Pearson, of the Grenadier Guards, will be his assistant military secretary.—Army and Navy Gazette. TESTIMONIAL TO AN M.P.—On Friday evening Mr. Miller, M.P. for the Leith Burghs, was en tertained to dinner by about 250 of the electors, in the Assembly-rooms, Leith—Provost Lind Say presiding. A presentation of plate was made by the hon. member, in acknowledgment of his services to the port of Leith, especially in connection with the Leith Harbour and Docks Act of 1860. ' AN OBLIGING DRIVER.—On Wednesday after boon a gentleman, belonging to Galashiels, was plying the gentle art in the Tweed, near to Ashiebteel, when he hooked a fish at a part of the river very unfavour able for landing such a finny monster as this one gave in dication of being. The rocky banks and rough underwood, as well as the heavy state of the river, made the task one of considerable difficulty, and after a great deal of time and trouble spent to no purpose, there appeared to be no hope of landing his prey, and he was on the point of giving up in despair, when the Innerleithen and Gala coach hove in sight of the other side of the river. The driver being hailed for assistance at once brought kis horses to a stand, and unyoking one of them, a gentleman passenger at mice forded the river on horseback, and, by the timely aid pf this auxiliary, the angler soon brought safe to the bank p, fine salmon 231 b, weight,w-Edinburgli courant, Monthly Periodicals. THE BRITISH ARMY AND NAVY REVIEW.—" Un der Two Flags" is continued with unabated spirit and interest by Ouida,who depicts the raptures and miseries of a fast life with a zest that leads us to suspect that he has partaken rather freely of the wayward sport himself. He enters into the feelings which he portrays so vividly as if he formed the very soul of the party; but we must do him the justice to say that he points the moral with a prophetic warning. The life of a roue finds no favour from his description of the road to ruin. " The Stag Hunt "is capitally done ; indeed, one is surprised at the marked contrast exhibited be tween the listlessness of a Guardsman and the energy of a sportsman, combined in ono and the same, and yet wo must suppose the character to be rather too highly coloured, notwithstanding its apparent adher ence to reality. "The Royal Navy—the Reserve," enters very critically into the subject of providing our Navy with seamen. There can be no doubt that the apprehended want of seamen in case of a sudden emergency created a just and national anxiety, but the reason was not far to seek. The naval service was disliked for the extreme rigour of its discipline, and had a bad character for the oc casional tyranny of many of its officers, from the captain downwards. Besides, the pay was far below that obtained in the merchant service. Ariother rea son was, the utter horror engendered by the odious system—the press-gang. But now these evils are redressed or greatly abated, a better feeling has been created, and men volunteer with alacrity into the Royal Naval Reserve. " Rifling Heavy Ordnance" is a masterly paper upon the great guns of the day. It dis cusses the merits of the several competitive attempts to produce the best gun for land and sea service. That much needed weapon does not yet appear to have been decided on, out of the many specimens pro duced and tried before the Ordnance Committee. Indeed the people begin to get tired of the long procrastination of this experimenting tribunal, and grave doubts, if not suspicions, are sure to be entertained about the matter. If a good gun is found they are never satisfied till they fire it to destruction, as if any invention, however good, could be expected to last for ever. Out of the num ber of competitors there is one whose system promises to answer all requirements—that is Commander Scott, of the Royal Navy. His system seems to be a sort of compromise between the extremes of many. At the trial of his gun with the French one the advantage appears to have been greatly in his favour, although the French had hitherto borne the palm in its trial with other systems. However, we suspect the decision of the Ord nance Committee will 11 waiting for the declaration of war to quicken their wits, and then we may hope to hear some thing of the future, but not until then. " Austria" is dis cussed by Col. G. Paulett Cameron in a kindly spirit infinitely beyond her deserts. With the bolt wishes for her people, we cannot forgive the conduct of her rulers with respect to Denmark, and her mean subserviency to Prussia, an up start rival as perfidious as she is aggressive. Let Austria but be just to the Hungarians and others of her many peoples and she will soon recover her lost position, both at home and abroad. CORNHILL.—" Wives and Daughters" is evi dently drawing to a conclusion, which will be re gretted by many readers on account of its very in teresting style and home-like descriptions. Molly Gibson is a very pleasing character, and her real worth is being gradually discovered until she be comes far more really attractive than the fascinating Cynthia. Jn this instalment the sad event of Osborne's death occurs, and the old squire is overwhelmed with grief. A touching scene is that in which the young widow and her little son appears, and the sight of the child rouses the mourner a little, and he willingly acknowledges the infant heir. The miseries of concealment are well shown in this episode of Osborne's death, and a useful moral is drawn from it. " Armadale" is also proceeded with, but Miss Gwilt predominates in.this portion of the story, and she cannot possibly attract, for she is a most objectionable character. There is mystery on mystery, and the story is carried on very ingeniously through the agency of a most voluminous correspondence on all sides. An article on " Greenwich Hospital" contains some well-deserved strictures on its mismanagement, and declares that "sterner battles than the Nile or Copenhagen have been fought by British seamen in the very place where they thought that their toils and dangers were over for ever. There is correctness also in the observation that there is something disappointing in the transformation which this splendid foundation has lately undergone. " Costumes and Character" is a paper that is very readable, and contains some apt illustrations cf the peculiarities which distinguish various nations in this respect. "French Felons" presents us with some sad details, and we meet with a sombre picture of the doings of thirty years ago. "The Holy Fair of Hurdevar" is an account of the mysterious doings that take place in that far-off spot, "whore the sacred Ganges emerges upon the plains of Hindustan." THE DAY OF REST.—This magazine is con tinued in its usual style. " The Hidden Sin," in this rumber, becomes very dreadful, and there is a good representation of the plotters i n a plate at the commencement of the story. " Pictures of Old London" form, as usual, one of the most attractive portions of this periodical, and the illustrations are interesting to contemplate. An account is given of the career of Sir John Richardson, and it is truly said that the deaths of great and well-known men have been coming heavily and in rapid succes sion upon us these few years back." " The Autibography of an Italian Police Officer" is very eventful. THE VICTORIA MAGAZINE.—The Social Science Congress naturally discussed several points interest ing to the fair readers of the Victoria, and accord ingly we find an account of three papers on " The Education of Girls," and a summary of the argu ments employed by Miss Carpenter, Miss Sheddon, and others, in their essays on similar topics. The learned elaborate treatise on " The Civil and Political Status of the Female Sex," translated from the French of Professor Laboulaye, is continued, and the present instalment treats of the social laws of the Germans—the first chapter being devoted to the position of the woman in her father's house. The laws of the old German nations—the Visigoths, the Lombards, and the Allemania, were very strict and precise iu all matters relating to the parental authority, the mar riage portion, &c. Another paper in this number is the reprint of Dr. Edmunds's introductory address at the inauguration of the Female Medical Society. We have, besides, a criticism on Mr. Ruskin's lectures on " Sesame" and "Lilies." There are the continuations of two stories, " The Fisherman's Daughter," and " Trouble at Thorn hill," and the conclusion of Miss Gifford's melancholy, though well-written idyl, " The Triple Curse." THE SUNDAY MAGAZINE.—Many pleasant and profitable papers are to be found in this cheap, well printed, and simply written magazine. The won derful work of Thomas-k-Kempis is the subject of an essay, in which it is remarked, " There are barbed sayings in it which pierce you through and through ; there are others which refresh you by their suggestiveness ; and others still which express familiar truths with a consciousness and beauty that remind you of apples of gold in baskets of silver.' " Among other papers conspicuous for their simple and practical piety we may notice " The Golden Opportunity," a story for chil dren, and "A very Remarkable Dinner Table," which many readers may gladly help in this cold winter weather. THE MONTH.—'the opening paper is on the bril liant but chequered career of the late General Lamoriciere, to whom it does full honour. An in teresting article on the " Calendars of State Papers" will attract the antiquarian, while the litterateur will turn to an account of " The Faculty of Paris in the Time of Moliere," and to a thoughtful and well-written criticism on the works of Henry Taylor, author of "Philip van Arto velde." We have, besides, papers on our Street Architec ture, on the Personal of an Old Oxonian, and on the Epi gram of Parmenionso. As will be readily observed, the magazine does not confine itself to the mere ephemera of the day, but treats of subjects well worthy of the attention and the study of thoughtful and cultivated minds. GOOD WORDS.—Charles Kingsley's romance of " Hereward" is apparently approaching its conclu sion very rapidly. The threatened separation be tween Torfrida and Hereward takes place in this part. Alexander Smith's domestic story of " Alfred Hagart's Household" is continued. Mr. Kaye proceeds with his interesting series of lives of our Indian heroes, some of whose daring and adventurous careers are less known than they should be among their countrymen. Sir John Herschel gives us the third part of his papers on " Light," treating in this number of double refraction and polarization. Many other instructive and valuable papers may be found among the contents. THE FORTNIGHTLY REVIEW. Nos. XI. and XII. The Principles of Success in Literature," by the Editor, are continued in a paper on the Laws of Style. Mr. Bagehot gives us an essay on the "English Constitution," Mr. Freeman contributes a paper on the " Proposed Revision of the Swiss Federal Constitution," and Mr. Anthony Trollope dis cusses " The Civil Service" as well as continuing his love story of "The Belton Estate." There are besides articles on the future of our navy and on international law, so that politics and literature aro pleasantly -blended. This serial combines something of the character of a review with the style of a magazine, and the result is, on the whole, satisfactory to readers and writers. THE ECLECTIC.—The first paper is on one of the most venerated of the early divines, Chrysostom. It is remarked that, " on the whole, none of the great names of those early ecclesiastical ages wins from us more admiration and affection than that of this illustrious man. Great as he was as an orator, he shines not merely by the splendours of his rhetoric ; indeed, he steadily re sisted the growing and too prevalent idea that the Christian Weller should be a mere orator Mr. Dickens's Mutual Friend" forms the subject ;of an interesting and compre hensive criticism ; and. there is also an article of Dr. Milman's on historical productions. THE SIXPENNY MAGAZINE.—The story of " The Fatal Legaoy" is brought to a conclusion, in which the villain of the piece scarcely gets his deserts, and there are plenty of other tales to amuse the reader of fiction. The articles on " Popular Physiology" are continued, and this month we have an account of the function and diseases of the liver. The siege of Malta, one of the most exciting passages in mediaeval history, is related at full length. Among the remaining topics are " The Old Musician," " Content," "Handwritings," and " Bells." " NEWTON'S LONDON JOURNAL.—The introductory papers are on the " Use and Abuse of Coal in our Manufactories," and on the American Torpedoes Chatham. The usual list of recent patents and reports of scientific proceedings are given, together with a selection of the papers read before the British Association at its autumnal meeting. LE FOLLET.—The fashions in this autumnal season are duly represented in this number, which has an additional plate devoted to the out-door garb of the fair leaders of the toilette. As usual the plates render all the costumes charming, and the letterpress is gay and animated SIMPKINS' ALMANACS.—Nothing more vividly shows the spirit and enterprise with which the trade of the metropolis is carried on than the series of ex cellent licensed victuallers' almanacs, printed by Mr. Simpkins, of 70f, Strand. The almanacs are ar ranged in a variety of shapes and sizes, but the great object of a good calendar is never lost sight of, viz., its usefulness. The pretty "Pocket Keepsake," with its brilliant covering of emerald and gold, is a perfect little treasure, as it has been arranged to afford fireside amuse ment during the winter evenings. It contains, in addition to the usual calendar and tide-table, parlour magic, songs, dances, and a string of humorous conundrums whilst the "Desk Almanac" is replete with commercial information, its value being :enhanced by the addition of a well-written and entertaining resume of the events of the year 1865, which is both reliable and correct. The "Sheet Almanac" is a very attractive trade placard, and cannot but be productive of the greatest publicity to those who adopt it in business. The series will certainly become the theme of general conversation during the next few months to come, because whilst they will prove of the greatest ser vice to the public, they cannot fail to cause the enter prize and spirit of the donors to be widely spoken of. Mr. Simpkins' Almanacs are decidedly the best of this class, and as specimens of letterpress printing they are of first rate excellence. The Cholera in Malta. -o - TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I have been requested by the Cholera Relief Committee of Malta to endeavour to obtain some assistance in this country, and I have undertaken the task, feeling confident of success. I need scarcely remind your readers that the importance of Malta to this country is greatly increased since the abandonment of the lonian Islands ; and other cir cumstances concur to render Malta an object of sympathy and respect. It is second only to the Holy Land as a place celebrated in sacred history. And in modern European history it is distinguished as having been for three centuries the residence of that great military order which performed heroic and most valuable services to Christianity and civi lisation, protecting commerce and the intercourse of nations in the Mediterrauean, and forming a bul wark against the attacks of the Mahometan Powers. For these reasons I cannot doubt that the facts which I am about to state must be highly interesting to benevolent persons in this country. Early in August the Cholera Relief Committee was formed. It has worked successfully ; for at the first outbreak of the disease nearly every case proved fatal; but by the effective means adopted by the members and the medical men employed by them, a very satisfactory improvement has been obtained. Nevertheless, out of 2,578 persons attacked, in a population of 138,000 (exclusive of the mili tary), 1,523 have died. A subscription list was opened, headed by the Governor and other official persons. It has produced £l,lOO, which, under Divine Providence, has effected much good. But the committee now find themselves called upon to meet the distressing wants of a number of conva lescents, besides those of new cases. In the village of Zeitun especially, which is 4i miles from the central hospital, the committee has found it neces sary to establish for that and the adjacent villages a temporary house of refuge for the sick. For these urgent demands the local subscriptions are insuffi cient. But even when the epidemic has ceased, still its sad effect on the local trade and industrial classes will be severely felt, involving vast misery among the poor, and especially those who have lost the working head of the family, on whom they were de pendent for their bread. Thus the charitable duties of the committee must, if possible, be continued for some time to come. Among other things, they must keep up the soup kitchens, which distribute 17,000 rations a day in the four cities and Floriana. For these important objects the local means are not sufficient, and an appeal is therefore made to those in this country who are able and willing -to grant assistance. On receiving the letter from the committee, who have a right to claim my services as senior member of the Order of Malta in this country, I first applied to that excellent lady—truly illustrious for her Christian benevolence and her innumerable works of charity—Miss Burdett Coutts. She sent me £2O, at the same time expressing her wish to assist in some permanent scheme for improving the sani tary condition of the island. The Right Hon. E. Cardwell, Secretary of State for the Colonies, has also sent me £2O. I hope and trust that others will follow the example, although some may be only able to give a few shillings. I beg you to publish this letter.—Your obedient servant, Nov. 4. GEORGE BOWYER. MARKETS—This Day.

PORTRAITS OF TIIE LATE LORD PALMERSTON.— The portraits of the late eminent statesman are multiply ing with great rapidity and in such variety that resem blance in most cases seem to be a matter of little moment. The Messrs. Day have published a sketch, and the firm of M'Queen and Co. has also produced a well executed litho graph, but in neither has the artist been very successful in his work. THE CHRISTY MiNsTnns.—The great success attending the entertainment given by the " darkies" at St. James's Hall has rendered it necessary to give an additional day performance every week for the future, and, accordingly, there will be an attractive concert given every Wednesday afternoon as well as on Saturday. The last new success of the Christys is Mr. Rawlinson's singing of the beautiful ballad, "I am happy as the day is long ;" it promises even to eclipse the celebrated melody, "Would I were a bird," which is now one of tho themes of London. For the first of the now series of concerts (to-morrow) the programme is overflowing with good things. Gen. Lee is recuperating at Rockbridge Baths, Va., before entering on his duties as President of Wash ington College, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. LIVERPOOL RACES—Trns DAY. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

Recent intelligence from Columbus, Ga., is to the effect that cotton sells there for 20 cents per pound, and in Uoldsborough at 28 cents, in currency. A letter from Macon, Miss., says:—" Very little cotton has been planted this year in the prairies —perhaps enough to make seed for another crop. Memphis from all sources will hardly be furnished with 50,000 bales next winter. The excessive and protracted drought has dimin ished the corn crop in many rich districts, by nearly one half. There will be, however, corn enough for local con sumption." Lowell's 33 cotton mills employ 948 males and 1,650 females, and last year produced $7,125,953 worth of fabrics ; two calico and muslin delaine mills employed 188 males and 11 females, and turned out $3,167,122 worth of fabrics ; five carpet mills employed 382 males and 573 fe males, and turned out $3,570,435 worth of carpeting. The most valuable cargo of cotton ever shipped from the United States was cleared from New Orleans for Liverpool, on the 30th Sept., by ship Emerald, 3,105 bales, worth $637,009. Although a previous vessel took 3,150 bales, the total weight was less and the value less by $47,000. COTTON IN TENNESSEE.—A very fine staple has been raised in sections of Tennessee, but the quantity is not large. About seven or eight hundred bales from Georgia and Alabama also pass through there each week on their way North ; and notwithstanding the heroic determina tion of the Southern people to " live within themselves " hereafter, they are exceedingly anxious t• exchange cotton for articles of Northern manufacture. The supply, however, will be quite limited for some years to come. If every cotton plantation were in the hands of Northerners to-day they would have at least 4,000,000 of bales in the market by the first of January, 1867. COTTON IN THE SOUTHERN STATES. —A gentle man whose judgment is reliable, and whose means for ob servation have been unusually good, writes as follows from the South : " Having now ended a pretty extensive tour through the Cotton States, a sort of review of my observations upon the cotton question may not be without interest. In Lo wer Georgia and Northern Florida, and a part of South-Eastern Alabama, nearly all the cotton was in the country at the time of the surrender. In other portions of those States the larger part was destroyed at the time of Sherman's and Wilson's raids. Mississippi had been so thoroughly raided that there was compara tively little left, but she will probably make more cotton this year than all the other Gulf States together. The receipts of cotton at New Orleans from the Red River country are far below the general expectation, and the quantity planted this year is very small. In Texas a full average crop was no doubt planted, but the weather during the last month was very unfavourable for maturing it ; the army worm had made its appearance in several places, and was threatening serious damages, while the prospect for obtaining the labor necessary for securing the crop MO very unfavorable. The amount of old cotton in the State at the surrender was much less than generally supposed, probably but little, if any, more than 100,000 bales. After a careful comparison of all the facts I have been able t• gather, I should say that 1,500,000 bales old cotton would cover all that was in the South at the time of the sur render. Add to this say 400,000 bales—a liberal estimate —for crop of 1865, and you have all that may be expected for a year to come. It is too soon to speculate upon the prospects for the coming year, but I may remark, in a general way, that they are not very encouraging. A few planters are taking hold in earnest, and organising thei forces for putting in a crop next spring, but these cases are rare. There is yet time for great improvement, and it is to be hoped, for the good of the whole country, that the now dormant energies of this people may be awakened, and they be led to see that the future is full of promise of a rich reward for all their labour."

The young woman Lorkings, who sued her attorney, at Yew York, for alleged fraudulent detention of nearly $lOO,OOO " won in Havana lotteries," has gained her case. It appeared during the trial that she bad been the mistress of one Trance do Cruz, clerk to a Matanzas merchant, and had received large sums of money stolen from the employer; that after coming to New York, in June, she returned to Cuba, and made restitution of cer tain sums, whereby she obtained from the Matanzas merchant an acquittance in full. The better, however, to protect what remained to herself, and get it safely out of the reach of tho Spanish law, she purchased drafts for it under the name of Mary Simpson. The New York attor ney helped her thus far, and then, getting the drafts into his own possession, refused to know the Lorkings as Simpson, and rather hinted a division of the spoils. The Court decided that Lorkings was Simpson, and that the attorney should not have even the foes originally agreed upon ($2000) to help the young woman out. Whereupon there was cheering and clapping of hands—sounds unusual in the quiet precincts of the Supreme Court.

A now bivalvular El Dorado has been discovered at the bottom of the Sound, and all the oystermon hereabouts aro on their way thither as fast as Boreas sees fit to blow them. This bed of oysters is located two or three miles from the shore, and is nearly opposite Shippan Point, in the town of Stamford, Connec ticut. It is reported to exceed in extent the bed which was discovered opposite Norwalk in 1860. Tho oysters are of most excellent quality, most of them of the proper age and growth to make them fit for immediate use. The excitement growing out of the discovery is very great among the people who live in the villages along the coast Many persons are leaving their regular occupations to devote their labor to gathering the shellfish, and scarcely anything else is talked about but the new oyster bed," MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
