MONEY MARKETI AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. I ' The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed — st. very firmly, and prices of American under 5/d. i 24 were id. per lb., and from Sid. to Gd., id. per lb. LO dearer than last week. Surats, Brazil, and Egyptian li ,, were Id. per lb. higher. The sales were 10,000 bales, comprising 1,00 0 export and 1,500 on speculation, 31 including 500 Pernam and Maranham, sid. to 7id. ; 273 100 Bahia, s'4d. ; 500 Egyptian, 51d. to 94d. ; 1,500 22 Surat, and 150 Sea Islands, 9d. to 10d. per lb. 25 The Railway Share Market was buoyant, at a slight st. advance. St. This has been rather a quieter week in the colo -10 nial produce markets as regards the amount of 1 ) business done ; but the excitement among the 20 dealers in sugar has continued. A further ad- 2, g vance of ls. to 2s. has occurred, but holders have 10 brought very little forward in anticipation of a 10 further enhancement. Coffee has realised steady 26 prices, but the inquiry has been limited. Not 25 much business has been transacted in rice, and the St. tea market ruled rather dull. Rum has been in St. request at 2d. per gallon advance. Saltpetre was St rather flatter, and spices have not attracted much 2 1 attention. Hemp and flax have been firm, and St. tallow is 675. 6d. per cwt. for P.Y.C. on the spot. n. The public sales of wool are proceeding briskly, but St. without any noticeable alteration in the prices. 10 A ccoun ts from Constantinople, this week , men- 52°0 tion that the high prices of the necessaries of life, Bt. which continue to increase, is being taken into serious consideration by the inhabitants of the city, s t , especially foreign residents. The causes of the in- St t creased prices, of course, are mainly consequent St_ on the Russian war, but another cause of equal im- St. portance is the high charges paid for the transport of 12 food, fuel, and merchandise, the produce of Turkey, 30 in consequence of the insufficiency of the present 12 means of road communication throughout the ter- st : ritory, and the advent of railway transit is looked 3 forward to with inter est b y the p eo p le. Before 21(1).4 the declaration of war in 1853, wheat was 15 to 20 st. piastres per kile, now it has risen to 70. A mea S t - sure of barley, which formerly cost 5 piasters, 10 fetches now 35. The price of rice is more than 12i doubled, and other articles of consumption ruled 50 . very high. 40 The continental Money Markets remain gene rally calm, with a very limited amount of business st. doing, excepting at Paris yesterday , w here an im- 25 3/ 2E provement had taken place, and money was easier 10 than during the last ten days. On the Paris St. Bourse, Rentes of the French 3 per Cents. rose 10 350 t centimes, and maintained the advance with firm- 25 ness at the close. In the Share Mar ket matters 11. were also a little better, at the same time they 50 remained without any important reaction. In the 20 French grain and flour markets quotations were B y firm, with an upward tendency. The demand for 50 fine flour in Paris was limited, and brought as 16. much as 108 francs for the best quality. Spanish 1.6 and inferior sorts were sold at 105 to 106. 8 Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. report the market for American Securities as quiet. During the Week only a small amount of business has been done at the subjoined quotations : Redeemable. Per Cent.

The Bank of England return to be published this evening also is expected to be favourable. Consols, after being 88a have risen to 88 and 89 for money, while for the account they are 89k, an improve ment of to per cent. New 3 per Cents. are 88k and the Reduced 87i to 881. The Un funded Debt is 'Ts. to 34. discount. A larger business is doing in Foreign Securities. Turkish 6 per Cents. advanced to 791 and 80, and the New Scrip is 21 to 21 discount. Russian 41 per Cents. are 86, and Sardinian also 86, which, in the latter instance, is an advance of per cent. Granada Active Bonds have risen to 20, and the Deferred to 71. Mexican Stock 19k, and Peru vian Active 65. Austrian 5 per Cents. are 821. Dutch 24 per Cents. are 631, and Brazilian Small 100. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks : Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6i to 7 ; Mexican, 19i to ; Peruvian, 74 to 76 ; ditto Three per Cents., 52 to 54; Portuguese Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 95 to 98 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 86 ; Spanish New Deferred, 20 to ; ditto Three per Cents., 38 to ; ditto Certificates, 41 to 4 ; ditto Pas sive, 6 to 61. An improved feeling is apparent in the Railway Market, and the advance in the Funds has pro duced a corresponding movement in prices. The North-Western are in most favour, and have risen fully 10s. to 155., while all other lines have likewise been higher. The Foreign still remain quiet, and the Canada firm. Mining Shares are quiet but firm. Joint Stock Banks are at former values, and Canada Land Shares are at 131. General Screw Steam and Peninsular and Oriental Steam are both 1/. 10s. higher.

The promises of s upport which I have received are not only gratifying from their number, but also from the hearty earnestness with which they have been accorded. They leave no doubt that the issue of the coming contest must be in nay favour." The writ has not arrived, but the nomina. is expected to take place in the course of the tuning SHARE MARKETS.

This body also retired before us, at a considerable distance, while we continued our advance to the village of Tuzla, on a rising ground to the left of which village General D'Allonville took up a position and offered battle, Captain Thomas's troop of Horse Artillery firing several rounds with precision, which were answered by the enemy without effect. After waiting here for two hours, and seeing that the enemy were effecting a further retreat; General D'Al lonville formed a junction with the column, under Alushir Achmet Pasha, at the town of Sak, where we bivouacked, destroying the town and considerable Rus sian cantonments. On the 24th inst., yesterday, we returned to Eupa toria by the sea coast road. On the first day's march, the French cavalry were in front, the English cavalry in support ; the Turkish cavalry on our left flank. On the second day, the cavalry under my command were in advance, supported by the French cavalry, the Turkish cavalry on our left flank. I have great satisfaction in stating that General D'Allonville expressed to me his approval of the manner in which the cavalry I have the honour to command manoeuvred in the field, as likewise of the good prac tice of our Horse Artillery ; and I may perhaps be per mitted to express my acknowledgments of the courtesy evinced towards me, and the troops under my command, by the General during the time we were in the field, and since we landed at Eupatoria. I beg to enclose a return of casualties,* caused by ex haustion from the want of water, of which there was a very great scarcity everywhere. Captain Hamilton, Royal Navy, has requested me to inform you that the French brig of war, Allouette, and her Majesty's ship Diamond, co operated with the troops on this occasion ; but that he, finding a sailing vessel unhandy on this service, placed the guns and men of the Diamond on board the steam transport Oneida, from which he fired on the flanks and on some advanced pickets of the enemy.— I have, &c., (Signed) GEO. PAGET, Brigadier-General Commanding Light Cavalry Brigade at Eupatoria. The General Commanding-in-Chief, in front of Sebastopol. * 2 Troop Horses, 3 Males—Land Transport Corps. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day). CORN EXCHANGE. A very limited supply of English wheat has been re ceived up to oar market this week, coastwise and by land =lima, and the show of samples to-day was trill:rig. All kinds were in fair request, and the finest parcels were the turn in favour of sellers. • The imporLs of foreign wheat have been under 3,000 quarters. The amount of business doing was very limited, yet Monday's currency was freely supported. Floating cargoes were in reque ,t, at extreme quotations. The barley trade was very firm, and the finest malting qualities were held on higher terms. Malt sold steadily, at full prices. There was a slow sale for oats, and the quotations were with difficulty supported. Beans, peas, and flour realised full prices. ARRIVALS THIS WERE. Barley. I Malt. Oats.

A New Edition. DESPATCH FROM GEN. SIMPSON, (Prom a Supplement to Tuesday's Gazette ) WAR DEPARTMENT, Nov. 8. Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad dressed to his lordship by General Sir James Simpson, G.C.B. Sebastopol, Oct. 27. My Lord,—l have the honour to transmit a copy of a .etter I have received from Brigadier-General the Hon. A. Spencer, informing me of the return of the force under his command to Kinbourn, after having made a short reconnaissance. As it has been decided that the French will garrison the Fort, the English troops will return here, and I ex pect them about the 3d November. I have to report the arrival, on the 25th inst., of a de tachment of prisoners to the number of 132, from Odessa, where the greatest part of them arrived on the 24th September. Amongst them is Lieutenant James, of the Royal Engineers, who was taken on the night of the 2d of July ; he has been kept at Reazan, and reports having been ♦ery well treated by the Russians. The prisoners have been kept at Voranetz on the Don, and when they left there were only two remaining, who were sick, and fifty-one deserters. I transmit the nomi nal list of the men. The force from Eupatoria, under the command of Ge neral D'Allonville, made a reconnaissance on the 22d instant. They fell in with a large force of the enemy and offered them battle. The Russians, however, re treated before them after an exchange of a few rounds with the Horse Artillery. I beg to enclose a copy of the report of Brigadier- General Lord George Paget, in command of the English cavalry at that place. I have the honour to report the departure of all the Turkish force that were here, for Asia, with the excel) : tion of some Artillery, which has been transferred to the Contingent. The weather continues magnificent, and the health of the troops all that can be desired.—l have, &c., JAMES SIMPSON, General Commanding. The Lord Panmure, &o. (Enclosure 1.) Kinbourn, Oct. 24, 1855. Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the informa tion of the Commander-in-Chief, that the troops under my command, as per margin,* returned yesterday even ing from the reconnaissance they made in company with the French army. The force left Kinbourn on the 20th instaut, bivou acked that night and the following at the village of Patowffka (eight miles), proceeded from thet ce to the village of Schadoffka, which the Allies burnt. A good many farms, all deserted, and a great quantity of hay were also destroyed. On our return yesterday about 250 of the enemy's ca valry menaced our rear. The troops are very healthy. At a conference held to-day, it hac been determined that the Fort of Kinbourn is to be occupied for the winter by French troops, and it is expected that the English troops will embark for the Crimea on the Ist of November.—l have, &c.

L ITERATURE, Miscellanies : Prose and Verse. By W. M. Thackeray. Vol. I. Bradbury and Evans. It was a happy thought, the celebration of the close of Mr. Thacketuy's Masterpiece by the publi cation in a collective form of his hitherto scattered Miscellanies. Scarcely has our great novelist brought to a conclusion his exquisite story of "The Newcomes"—one of those remarkable novels of a century in which we have, as the Quarterly aptly remarks in the language of Hamlet, " the very age and body of the time, its form and pressure " when there issues from the press the first of the four volumes wherein are to be comprised the mis cellaneous productions contributed during past years by the author of " Vanity Fair" to the pages of our periodical literature. Writings these prove to be, for the most part, penned by Mr. Thackeray before ho had given evidence of those extraordinary powers which have placed him very recently in the foremost rank among our contemporary Great Men of Letters. Until the appearance of " Vanity Fair" not any one among us could have bad the smallest notion of the genius lying dormant (coin paratively speaking) in the heart and brain of that gay, genial, humorous, delightful writer who had been scribbling away so industriously for so long a time in so many different publications, so often so very pleasantly, but so seldom until then rising at all above the level of the talents of his clever and motley collaborateurs. No sooner, however, had we got tolerably well advanced in the "story with out a hero " than we all of us felt at once that after all this was no common man; that hitherto we had failed to recognise the true height and depth of his capacities ; that at any rate, to say the least of it, he himself must have only just then for the first time hit upon the right vein iu his intellect, that vein which has since proved to be so rich in the gold of wit and the silver of satire, and in all those other pre cious products of the ore of genius, racy of the soil from which they come, and since then run into so many moulds of grace, or beauty, or grotesqueness, and stamped with the timbre of a genuine and authoritative originality. Mr. Thackeray, from the date of his writing this initial chapter of his first great work, became a Creator in the realms of Fiction—poet in the true sense of the word—a recognised chief in the phalanx of our national literature. He came before us in a new form—no longer as a raree-showman fingering the wires of the puppets dancing behind the tiny footlights and under the arch of the miniature proscenium, or causing the parti-coloured shadows of the baker, and the devil, and the little old woman, and good master Punchinello, to glide across the white sheets (of paper) according to the movement of the slides iu his magic-lantern—rather now it seemed as some potent magician of the ink-horn, surrounded by the spirits he had summoned into being at the beck of a simple wand enough, the waving of a wizard goosequill. Another Prospero, attended by his dainty Ariel, and his loathsome Caliban, and his abominable Sycorax. " Vanity Fair"—the first of the wierd circles traced out by his wand of power (the pen) showed us within its circumference a crowd of new and extraordinary existences. Among them Becky Sharp, the clever and detes table—Rawdou Crawley, with the tender, human heart in the body of a callous blackleg--William Dobbin, honest dunce with the gentle nature and the splay feet—the Most Honourable the Marquis of Steyne, the living satyr of the book, clad in the trappings of a patrician, and animated by the soul of a blackguard—these, with their throng of strange companions, carrying us to Russell-square, and Park-lane, and Crawley-court, and the field of Waterloo, to London, and Brussels, and Chelten ham. " Pendennis" we remember, of course, as the next of these same weird circles—the one which brought us acquainted with the coxcomb Arthur, and the tuft-hunting Major, and the gentle mo ther, and the sweet cousin, and drunk old Costi gan, and vulgar little Foker, the brewer's son, and the beautiful Fotheringay, and the pretty detes table Blanche Amory (a sort of Becky Sharp be dizened in gauze and crinoline), and queer rusty Bows, the love-sick fiddler, and that glorious ace of trumps George Warrington. Lastly, have we not watched the shifting groups in that amplest and most deftly defined circle amongst them all, the one bringing under our observation and within reach of our familiar knowledge the very respect able family of " The Newccmes," together with the mob of their many friends and acquaintances ? An enumeration of their mere names will be suffi cient, so fresh are they all just now in the popular recollection—Ethel, Clive, Barnes, Hobson, Sir Brian, Lady Anne, and, beyond all, Colonel Thomas Newcome (noblest of the noble creations of the genius of Mr. Thackeray), together with whom are remem bered J . J., and F. 8., and Miss Honeyman, and the Rev. Charles, and Sherrick, and Madame De Florae, and Jack Belsize, and the Marquis of Fs rintcsb, and the Prince de Moncontour, and with these and many others, including Rosa, and Clara, and Lady Kew, and Mrs. irLiekonzio, thel dear old familiar faces of Laura, and George Warrington, and Arthur Pendennis. Between whiles, too, since the days of " Vanity Fair," have we not had, un der the guidance of Mr. Thackeray, in "Esmond," a glimpse, and that, moreover, a very wonderful glimpse, at the style of society as it must have ap peared in the feign of her late Majesty Qse n Anne, a hundred and fifty years gone by ? Be sides having a peep at the phantom features of our incomparable humourists of the last cen tury—Fielding, and Addison, and Steele, and Swift, and divers other contemporary votaries of Momus, and tributaries of prose and verse to Pas quin on his pedestal ? Now that the more memo rable of the literary enterprises of Mr. Thackeray have been crowned by his magnum opus, of " The Newcomes," it is well that we should be afforded the luxury of marking the growth of our author's genius, of estimating the altitude which his intel lectual powers have attained since the time when we laughed over his pages idly and lightly as over those of some merely ephemeral feuilletonist. That luxury is now thoroughly enjoyable through the medium of this first delightful volume of his "-Miscellanies." Three others are to follow in due season; so that by the time this varied and amusing collection of hitherto scattered writings shall have been completed, we shall have revived our acquaintance with all those motley moms de plume which have been in turns the masks and dominoes of William Thackeray. Yelloivplush —Fitzboodle —Fat Contributor— Bashi-bazouk Snob—Jeames—Policeman X—Malony of Kul ballymolony—and above all our comical old friend with the moon-face and the barnacles, bight Michael Angelo Titmarsh. Gathered together from all sorts of well-known and out-of-the-way periodicals these four volumes of " Miseellathei : rose and Verse : by W. M. Thackeray," will supply us in a great measure, cream skimmed from the via lactea of our popular periodicals stretching across the firmament of con temporary literature—from the Times, and Punch, and Fraser, and many other daily, weekly, and monthly publications of note, not forgetting, be sides these, let us hope, one or two brilliant papers contributed by the same industrious hand to the more ponderous pages of the Quarterly. To volume one of this attractive collection of "Miscellanies" we are indebted for a complete assemblage of the lyrical productions of our eminent satirist, including, among them, besides, seventeen " Ballads," and two "LoveSongsmadeEasy,"andfeur"GermanDitties," and one "Imitation of Horace," and four metri cal scraps from the portfolio of Titmarsh, uncler the title of " Au old Friend with a new Face," the five famous " poems" of the Malony of Kilhally molony, and the nine wonderful " Ballads of Policeman X," followed by the half-jocose, half pathetic copy of verses, entitled " The End of the_ r Play," appended to one of the livelies t of A! s Thackeray's Christmas books.

By Currer Bell. Smith, Elder, and Co. Charlotte Broute's three celebrated stories are now published in a popular form, each complete in a single volume—" Jane Eyre "—" Shirley"—and " Villette." The last in its new shape has but just made its welcome appearance. Through this edi tion many fresh admirers of Currer Bell may b e tempted to enlarge their imaginary acquaintance in the realms of fairyland by taking into their hearts, or rather embalming in their memories, fresh. existences like thrifty, prying, unscrupulous Madame Beck—good, handsome, yellow-haired lion-headed Dr. John—quiet, plain, observant Lucy Snowe—giddy, pretty, empty-headed Ge nevra Fanshawe—beautiful, quaint, elf-like Paulina & e Bat iompierre—beyond all, the lean, bright-eyed, passionate Monsieur Paul Emanuel, with his black hair glistening like a raven's wing, and his cigar burning redly in the twilight, and his shabby coat flapping in the wind as he moves about the garden with the great watering-pot, watering his beloved flowers, followed everywhere by the little pit-pat of the tiny, dog that loves him almost as well as the watchful Lucy, hid, away there in the dim background I Life-like forms they all are, moving before us about that green Belgian landscape, or among the staid grey houses of queer old tranquil Villette. We turn the pages of the tale now with some what different emotions from those experienced when the first edition of the work was published and perused. Since then the writer of "Jane Eyre," and " Shirley," and " Villette," has herself passed away from the scene like a tale that is told, and praise and blame must alike in, her regard, sound now only in the dull cold ear of death. Three works alone she wrote, if we except her share of the " Poems" issued from the press some few years back by those three strange sisters, Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bronte, Carrel-, Ellis, and Acton Bell, as they called themselves—who have all in this brief interval appeared and disappeared so mysteriously. Peace to their manes ! One, at least, among their number has left us in that clever, morbid, enthralling novel of " Jane Eyre," a work that will live, and mostly for the sake of which the readers of Currer Bell still bear " Shirley" and " Villette" in somewhat vivid remembrance. The Double Marriage. By Mrs. La Touche. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. This is a story that displays skill and ingenuity ; the spirit that pervades it is melancholy, although not of a morbid tendency. The point of the narra tive is that of a double marriage contracted Isy Sir Geoffrey Willoughby.. The perpetrator of this wickedness never appears on the scene, he is in India, and little is said of him. Una de Vesci, the daughter of Lady Camolin, was the ill-fated second wife ; she is the heroine, and a most interesting one, from her grace, her gentleness, and goodness. She had no one to instruct her youth in the best knowledge, or fortify her mind for life's trials. She had to sustain unaided the severest sufferings as a wife and a mother, with only her own sense of right to uphold her, and her own faith to be her guide. Her mother was worldly and proud ; she had insisted on her daughter's marrying well, as she thought, and Una, who was easily guided, and innocent and ignorant of the wicked world, con -1 sented. After four years spent in India she re turned to England with her son, for the benefit of her health. Then her real troubles began. In India she had suffered greatly, but when again at home she felt all the keenness of the pain of parting that hung over her. Too late she found what she had forfeited, a life of peace, for what ? It needed not imagination to pourtray, or a nervous fancy to picture ; too well she knew what was before her. Una is here called a martyr, and she seemed to lay claim to the name, for she suffered in silence with patience and prayer. The tale of Dora Fleming, the first wife, is ingeniously interwoven with the course of events ; and the climax of the confu sion, when the news of Sir Geoffrey's death is sent by electric telegraph on board•the vessel bound for India, in which the two unfortunate victims were about to sail, is a most exciting passage, and is told with feeling and force. After so many scenes of agony and hours of weary anxiety and suspense it is but a natural termination to see Una consigned to an early grave. It has been said that sorrow does not kill, but that is the sorrow spread over a lifetime, with glimpses of light and intervals of rest. The sorrow that was laid on Una was crush ing and overwhelming ; it was not in human nature to revive after a youth so overcast, and summer was not to succeed to a blighted spring. There were painful family scenes to add to the other miseries, and through all Una was herself calm and composed. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths arc peace, is written of the spirit whose guiding influence informed and inspired our heroine, and Una left behind her to linger in the memory of her friends a vision of their past agency and a promise of their future fulfil ment. Of those who surrounded her no such words could be spoken. Her brother Alan was an instance of reckless self-indulgence and ungoverned passion ; his career was stormy, and bis end awful. No interest can be felt for him, and it is only when his path intersects that of Florence that regret is felt for him. It seems cruel to see SO. fair a course overshadowed by so dark a destiny. Camolin, the elder brother, was very different, but lie is not so often met with ; he is reserved, and delicate health rendered him still more a contrast to his eager and impetuous brother. Lady Camolin is a decided sketch, and her grief at the end of her brilliant son in so disgraceful a man ner, and with so awful a deed, is truly described. Arthur Winton is an extraordinary character, but he is not interesting, from his fitful variations and inconsistent conduct. Mary Stanfield is a relief, in her simplicity and steadfastness, to the more showy but unsubstantial personages around her. The conclusion is calm after all the storms, and with . the exception of Winton and Florence be in g united, which destroys the illusion of his devoted attach meat, it is satisfactory.
