Perhaps, in the annals of war, the glorious records of British achievements, nothing could be sound superior to the cool determination of Colonel WINDHAM, who seemed to bear a charmed life—passing unharmed through the iron shower, and who, when his previous applications for assistance were disregarded, and that it uecame essential to go himself to demand the much-required support, was chiefly solicitous to impress on a brother officer, who also highly dis tinguished himself (Captain CREALOCH of the 90th Regiment), the motives of his retrograde move ment, in order that, in the event of his almost inevitable death, justice might be rendered to his memory. Such exploits are indeed worthy of especial notice, and we earnestly hope that rewards suitable to his inestimable services may be bestowed on one who happily still remains ready and willing to fight his country's battles, under any circumstances, how ever arduous. A prompt recognition of his de serts was exhibited by General SIMPSON, who forthwith nominated him Commandant of the Karabelnaia suburb, with the rank of a Brigadier- General. But it is only from home that adequate honours can be rendered to the hero who most distinguished himself amongst the British troops on the glorious Bth of September. Some severe criticisms have already been offered respecting the arrangements for the attack, and the temporary confusion which prevented it from being immediately fol lowed up. We shall, for the present, abstain from entering on this interesting question. We may, however, state that Marshal PELISSLER, so far from joining in any censure either of the plan or its execution, speaks in the highest terms of the conduct of our troops, from the Com mander-in-Chief to the most humble soldier en gaged. There were many causes that prevented our men from achieving an equal success with our gallant Allies, and retaining possession of that which they had so nobly won. We do not mention these matters to depreciate tha brilliant efforts of the escaladers of the Malakhoff. Far from it. None more tho roughly appreciate their glorious conduct than ourselves. None are more willing to bestow the laurels so nobly won. It is, therefore, in no depreciatory spirit that we point out the addi tional difficulties of the task imposed on our men, who had a considerable distance to traverse before they could plant their scaling ladders, during which they suffered fearful losses. Our Allies were within less than 10 yards, our own troops fully 200, from the object of their attack. There was also some little surprise at the moment of the French attack, while all was in readiness to give a warm reception to the British. Even those who had just been driven from the Malakhoff lent their aid to the defenders of the Redan. We' are desirous of not treating in a captious spirit, transactions which have terminated so for tunately. Should there be any real ground for complaint, it will undoubtedly be fully canvassed, but we must not be too anxious to pick holes in the coats of those who participated in the triumphs of a day so gloriousito the Allied Army, and which will ever maintain so conspicuous a place in the annals of France and England.

To this hour cholera is a mysterious disease, though hundreds of medical men have written About it, and thousands of patients have, time after time, died of it. Is it contagious ? How comes it to visit and revisit particular localities ? Have ioweeget of sit., overorowdin g , want of ventilation, indifferent water, and poor diet anything to do with it ? How may its reappearance best be pre vented ? Is there any infallible cure for it—and if so, what is it ? Such are the questions asked with more or less eagerness, according to the season, respecting cholera whenever that disease oecomes the topic of conversation. Of course we don't pretend to have fathomed a mystery lying deeper than most medical plummets have sounded. We have it in . our power, however, to notice the conclusions arrived at by eminent authorities on the subject, and we mean at present to adduce those of a gentleman of great experience and high reputation in connection with the disease, satis fied that they will he welcome, and trusting they may be useful at the present time. The towns of Newcastle and Gateshead, it will be remembered, suffered awfully from cholera during the autumn of 1853, while the borough of Tynemouth, a few miles lower down the same river, escaped, though portions of it were crowded with refugees from the above places. This immunity, it is quite clear, did not arise from any peculiar uatural advantages, the borough having been eeverely visited on two occasions, and diarrhoea being very prevalent, though cholera was absent. It was, there can be no doubt, the result of cer tain pre cau ti ons suggested and superintended by a The nominal returns of the killed and wounded in the terrible conflict of the Bth of September distinguish e d san i tary reformer, whose professional experience as a m e di ca l man and a sanitary re have been published, and will be found in an- former on th e occasions alluded to had been of an extensive natu re .

NEWMARKET RACES. Such are the conclusions of this gentleman, from (THIS DAY.) his experience on the above occasions—the escape of the borcugh in 1853 confirming them. The non-contagious or little contagious character cf the disease would, if established, be a vast relief. The poor patient, were it generally believed, would not have, in many instances, to contend with the pangs of wounded feeling on desertion, as well as the writhings of pestilence. The sup posed relative action of a choleraic atmosphere— decomposed organic matter, overcrowding and ventilation—if correct, rather diminishes the received causes of apprehension than increases them, tending to show that the pestilence origi nates in the most readily removable nuisances, however much want of ventilation and overcrowd ing may increase its force and promote its spread. The paper is well worth a perusal, the facts being given with nauch brevity and precision, which, with the utter absence of all traces of the alarmist, and of an unfair pressure of deduction, leads the reader to place more than usual confidence in the author.

At the Mansion-house and Bow -street police court, his morning, nothing of the slightest interest occurred. At Guildhall, a cabman named Anns was committed for seven days' immprisonment, by Alderman Hum pherey, for not returning a diamond ring, which he had found in his cab, to the rightful owner, after the loss had been advertised. At the Southwark police-office, John Upton, a confi dential clerk, in the service of Mr. R. Tucker, sail-cloth -manufacturer, of Wellington-street, London-bridge, was committed for trial for robbing his employer of different sums of money, exceeding 2001. At the Thames police•court, a female name Collins was charged with attempting suicide at the London Docks. The magistrate, after admonishing her, ordered her to be discharged. At the Marylebone police-court, 2 young - men, named Smith and Taylor, were sentenced to three months' hard labour for having been concerned in stealing a quantity of shoes, the property of Mr. Hall, of 4, Warren-street, Fitzroy-quare. ,T y KET Nt.i 1 !La t half AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. SHARE MARKETS-. (THIS DAY.) - RAILWAYS. CITY, Two o'Cnoc The Liverpool cotton market yesterday closed heavily, and prices of the current kinds of Ameri can, more particularly those under 6d. per lb., were id. per lb. in the buyer's favour. All other kinds were without a quotable change. The sales were 7,000 bales-1,000 for export, and 500 on speculation, comprising 130 Pernam and Maran hare, at 6id. to 60. ; 150 Bahia, 62d. ; 200 Eop_ tian, 54d. to 7d. ; and 2,000 Surat, 34d. to Cid. The Railway Share Market opened quietly, but subsequently improved, closing firm. There is a paucity of arrivals from the colonies or elsewhere, and the supplies of the principal ar ticles of consumption are moderate. Holders are necessarily more disposed to sell than they were a week or two back, and many staples are reduced in price and will be kept much under the range which was then considered probable, looking at the small supplies. The advices from the Continent do not notice any important change in the money markets, but the action of the Bank of England was everywhere watched with attention, and many of the magnifi cent projects, hatched upon the supposition that capital could be had for the mere asking, had been deferred, or perhaps, as the issue may show, alto gether abandoned. Even the loans of some of the petty governments, ostensibly for public works, will have to await better times. From Paris the letters are written iu a more confident tone, and although the advance in the Bank rates may have some effect upon the Bourse, the assertion that the Credit Mobilier has set its house in order, and will act in accordance with the views of the Govern ment and the Bank of France, is calculated to in spire hopes of a more discreet policy in future. Yesterday, it was alleged that the Credit Mobilier was selling Turkish Bonds here, and it is a consola- s"! tion to know that our market offers no temptation 3 to dispose of anything else quoted at Paris. 20 In our remarks yesterday respecting the state of Bt' the Money Market, we gave our opinion that the 2St wisest course, under existing circumstances, that 10 could be taken by the Bank of England, seeing how 124 it is trammelled by the existing currency laws, 14t' would be forthwith to advance its discount charge to to 5 per cent., and that such a step would be more likely to strengthen than impair public con- s-t. fidence. At the commencement of business, 25 this morning, when suspense was felt more E painfully than ever, all securities ruled ex- St. ceedingly heavy, and there was a further .250 decline in them nominally, without much disposi- 100 tion to do business. At a comparatively early IT hour, however, it was made known at the Bank that the discount rate had been advanced to 5 per cent., and immediately the result we 5.3 t o had expected ensued, a rally occurring in the it, Funds ; and a more cheerful feeling prevailing 16 16 out of doors yesterday afternoon the bil 8 brokers lent money upon nod paper without 8 naming the rate, preferring to wait until this day— 23t, another instance of the injurious effect of uncer 2t tainty. It is upon our business relations, however, s3(l that we chiefly expect a satisfactory influence to be 5( exercised by this proceeding of the Bank, and when 1! we consider that our millions of exports are the " main support of the industrious artisans, and &I in that way contribute to the revenue, we shall understand how prejudicial it is to have t merchants deferring their purchases in the Man chester and Yorkshire markets because they ima gine, by waiting another week, they can buy still lower. The difficulty being now increased as re gards exporting bullion at a profit, the shipments will be entirely confined to what is imperative ; and under this head• we class a very moderate amount of monthly payments for corn, the dimi nished expenses of the war in the East, and the instalments upon the Turkish Loan. At present the demand for gold is less active, and it is even stated in some quarters to have almost subsided. The English Stock Market has been very fluc tuating again and further depressed, although at present looking more buoyant. Consols have been down to 881 to for transfer, and since up to 88i Taking off about per cent, for the accruing dividend, the price now is certainly more assimi lated to the current value of money, and may pro bably be less subject to fluctuation. The discount upon Exchequer Bills has been ls. to 55., and East India Bonds have been at par. Foreign Bonds have not been much dealt in, and great agitation has again prevailed iu Turkish. The 6 per Cents. opened at 842 for account, fell to 811, and have since rallied again to 84. The New Scrip has been down to 24, and up again to 1 dis. Spanish Deferred Bonds have been 19k 1, Mexican Bonds have been dull at 212, and Peruvian at 76. Vene zuela Bonds have been marked 24. French Scrip is at 1 prem. Dutch 2i. per Cents. are 644. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 62 to 7f ; Mexi can, 211 to 214 ; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 75 to 77 ; ditto Three per Cents., 57 to 59 ; Portuguese Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 97 to 99 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 88 ; Spanish New Deferred, 19. f t 011.94 ; ditto Three per Cents., 374 to 38 ; ditto Certificates, 4i to 41 ; ditto Passive, 4g- to 41.

The Joint Stock Bank shares are rather lower, 20 and Canada Land have been very quiet. 'aid.l RAILWAYS. home ert Ambg. Nottng. Bos. and Eastn. Junct... all Belfast & Ballymena. all Birming.

Mare and Co., of Blackwall. The step was adopted in consequence of an execution having been put upon the premises at Blackwall for 9,0001., which the creditor re fused to withdraw. If the sale had taken place it would have been at an enormous sacrifice, and the establish ment, employing several thousand artisans, would have been stopped. Mr. Commissioner Holroyd has now sanctioned the continuance of the works, and the Com mercial Bank have placed 10,0001. to the credit of the official assignee to enable him to pay wages and other necessary charges. The choice of assignees is fixed for Friday, the 12th of October. The quarterly court of the E held y esterda ast India H ouse was y. The proceedings, which were devoid of interest, only occapied about seven minutes. According to the Piedmontese Gazette of the 22d, the King was improving in health. The Ilon, Major Curzon, on arriving at Balmoral, with the despatches from General Simpson, received an invitation from the Queen to remain there a few days. LATEST NEWS.

It is said that ,he Minister of Finance will present to the Cortes a budget in which the expenses will not exceed the receipts, owing to the resources placed at his disposal. REPORTED NEGOTIATIONS. The New Prussian Gazette states that it can an nounce with certainty that the statement made by the lndependance Beige, as to the Cabinet of Berlin having demanded of the Western Powers to resume negotiations, is not true. The statement had pre viously been contradicted, but was on Monday re peated by the Belgian journal in the most absolute manner. The point is one on which the New Prus sian gazette is likely to be peculiarly well informed, but on Tuesday the Independance returns to the charge to declare that its original statement was strictly accurate, and that whoever believes he may contradict it is misled. I THE CRIMEA. A letter from Sebastopol dated September 4, in the Gazette du Midi, says :—" It is very difficult to divine the plans of the General-in-Chief for the future. The French troops are extending them selves along the Tchernaya ; and the garrisons of Eupatoria and Kertch are being reinforced. The town is now fully occupied by our troops, who are employed in arming batteries to act against the northern side. The magnificent docks are un touched, and in one of them is the Three Hierarchs, ship-of-the-line, to be seen cut in two, and ready to receive her screw -machinery. It is quite im possible to convey to you the remotest idea of the immense ruin effected here. The weather is de lightful, and all troops are in the highest spirits. Woe to an enemy that would now oppose the allied troops I" FRANCE. PARIS, WEDN ES DAY. The Emp eror yes t er d ay afternoon paid a visit to the Duke of Saxe-Coburg.
