The Liverpool cotton market on Saturday closed With more steadiness, but no change in prices took Piece. t7lie sales were estimated at front 6,000 to 7.00 bales, 500 for export ; and comprising 360 Perimet a id Maranbr.tn 61-d. to 6r d. ; 200 EDp ilon 5. to id. ; and 800 Surat 41-d. to 41d. per lb. In the Railway Market there was an average number of transactions, and prices were a shade lower than on Saturday. Corn has opened flatter and nominally lower, • but sellers hold back in expectation of foreign purchasers com:ng forward. The steamer Canada, brings about half a million of dollars in specie from Boston. The American corn market was not very brisk. The Californian 'was still sending large supplies of the precious Since the arrival of the Francis ilenty, the Northumberland has been announced from Aus tralia. Her dates are not later, but she has on board about 270,0001. in gold. The letters from Germany state that the English were receiving, at Heligoland, such large supplies of articles suitable to the maintenance of a garri son, that it was more than ever apparent they in tended to make the island au important military Position. A considerable quantity of clothing had arrived for the Foreign Legion. General Oxholm, the Danish Minister to London, is stated to have instructions connected with the Sound dues ques tion. The different governments comprised in the Zollverein are stated to have acquiesced in the re quest of Prussia, and have postponed the date fGr allowing the exportation of grain until Sept., 1856. Saxony is about to open a loan for five millions of dollars to extend its railway commu- nication. The Prussian Government, it is stated, intends to buy grain to a large amount in the United Status, and will supply its army entirely from that quarter, in order to avoid pressing upon home stocks, or competing with the demands of private lc( usumption. Tile English funds have been very • depressed a gain, notwithstanding the considerable amount of Ibullien received within the last day or two, and the idea mooted by a contemporary that differences t . ruay arise with Egypt has some influence, although no one can feel seriously alarmed on that score.

East India Stock has been done It 228 and 230. Exchequer Bonds are discount I 'o par. In the Foreign Market the principal feature is ~The depression of Turkish Bonds, the 6 per Cents. •tlkving receded to 89,1 1, and the New Scrip to * t i after being discount. This is in consequence l'f the. alleged unsatisfactory nature of affairs in 'gYpt, where the Exchequer appears to be in a - °w condition ; but to the stock guaranteed by England and France the circumstance should make :11 . 0 difference. It is asserted that the Pacha shows :l ess energy in his endeavours to supply the Sultan 'With money, and hence it is pretended that some I teturbance may arise that would interfere with t he regular receipt of the Egyptian Tribute, which :Yields the interest on the Old 6 per Cent.

Rol:BING AN ENPLOYER.—Alexander Johnson, a youth in the, employ of Mr. Deputy Bedford, of Farringdon. street, was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Finni s, charged with robbing his employer. It appeared from the evidence produced that the pro secute 32. had for some time missed goods from his pre mises, and not being able to detect the thief, he set a man t e watch, the result of which was the detection of the p risoner in the act of taking a piece of cloth from one of the drawers in the shop, and his being watched to a p awnbroker for the purpose, it was supposed, of dispos izig of it, but finding he was watched. by a police man, /so informed him he had taken it from his master, but vv , mid not do it again. Alderman Finnis remanded the prisoner, to allow the of ion. to make inquiries relative to the other rob beries.. MARYLEBONE. JUVENILE DELINQUENCY.— William &urge, a young urchin, only 12 years of age, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long, charged with having robbed his father, an honest and industrious man, living at 15, Lisson•grove. It appeared from the evidence that, on Wednesday last, the prisoner broke open his father's desk and stole therefrom 55., with which he made off. On Friday he was met with and brought back home, when, by way of punishment, he was tied up for a time in the room. He, however, contrived to release himself, and then again absconded, after having a second time broken open the desk alluded to, from which he took a crown pieces Information of his flight was given to the police, and he was yesterday taken into custody by Oake, 256 D, who found him in a water-closet in Claremont-place, Lisson grove. He admitted his guilt, and alleged that he had spent the whole of the money in " sweet stuff." He had nothing to say, and was committed to bard labour in the House of Correction for three months. ROBBERY OF A FEMALE.—James Brooks was charged with picking the pockets of Mrs. Mary Bottrell, residing at Coventry, of a purse containing twelve shillings and a railway return ticket. It appeared that about 11 in the morning prosecutrix alighted from an omnibus in the New-road, when she was pushed against by the prisoner and another man, the latter of whom speedily made off. She had observed her purse in the hand of the prisoner, who had no doubt given it to his companion, as it had not been found. He (prisoner) was taken into custody by police-constable Gould, 374 S. _ The prisoner was dealt with summarily under the new act, and sent to hard labour for six months. SOUTHWARK. ROBBING CHILDREN. Ellen Reynolds, a young woman dressed in shabby black, with a small portion of a dark veil, which covered her features, was brought be fore Mr. Combo, charged with stealing a basket contain ing tea and sugar from a little girl named Ann Rotter, about 10'years of age. &eh; also suspected of robbing other children in various parts of London. The mother of the child said that on Saturday morn ing, the 15th inst., she sent her with a basket and money to purchase tea and sugar in Blackman-street. Finding she did not return in half an hour, she went in search of her, and found her up a court crying bitterly, at the same time being without the basket. She asked her what had become of it and the tea and sugar, when she said a lady dressed in black had taken it from her and ran away with it. Witness immediately proceeded to the police station and gave information, when it was ascertained that a female answering the prisoner's de scription had robbed other children about London. On Saturday morning last her litle girl was playing at the , door in Whitecross-street, thiion-street, when the pri soner came past. She immediately called out "Mother, come here; here's the lady who took the basket from me." Witness immediately went after herand stopped her, At the Nam time telling her she had rcbbed her child Mr. Combe accordingly remanded her until to 1110170 THAMES. • SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND.— William. _Bourne, a seaman, aged 42, of No. 35, Har dinge-street. St. George's-in -the-East, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with violently assaulting Elizabeth Bourne, his wife, who is far advanced 113 preg nancy. The complainant, who is n'•any years younger than her husband, and who was in a weakly condition from the effects of her husband's savage treatment, and whose face was i❑ a frightful state, said she had beers married to the prisoner for six years. Her husband had been away in the barque Corona for about five and a-half ninths, and he came home last Monday and joined her at her lodgings, No. 35, Hardinge-street. He Lad been quarrelling and threatening her ever since, and he was instigated to threaten and assault her by an old woman, living at No. 18, Cha pel-street, with whom he had lived, and who brought him up. On Wednesday he said the old woman had in formed him she was going to Australia with her child, and he taunted her, and said, in a very sneering tone— " You will go to Australia, will you," and he struck her in the face, and accused her of keeping him without his dinner. She told him there was food in the cupboard. A female named Ellen Murray interfered and prevented further ill usage. On Saturday he went to Green's Sailors' Home to receive his wages, and she followed after him with his child, and asked him for some money to purchase food. He refused to give her any, and ut tered the most dreadful oaths and imprecations, and re fused to go home with her. He also said he would help himself, and he had got money and would keep it, and when she asked him for money a second time he told her to go upon the town as many other women did and pro stitute her person. He then went to the old woman's house in Hardinge-street, and he gave the old woman ali the mosey.. She asked the old woman for some money, and that person sneered at her and said she would keep it, and not give her any. She endeavoured to take some money from the old woman's hand, and that person held her by the hand and the hair of her head, and the prisoner hit her in the face with his fist, and gave her a black eye. The old woman called out, " Don't Lit her in the face, Bill, for your own sake ; give it her about the body." The prisoner then beat her with great violence about the shoulders, neck, and body, and said he would kill her. She called out "mur der," and became quite senseless. Ellen Murray said she went with the complainant to the old woman's house, and soon afterwards heard screams of "mureier," and saw Mrs. Bourne come out of the house covered with blood, and her face marked. The prh.oner bad beaten his wife on his return from former voyages, and he quarrelled with her and beat her on Friday, and then left her and went to the old wo man's house and slept there all night. Mrs. Ann Baines, an aged woman, said she lived in Chapel-street, St. George's, and had brought up the pri soner from his infancy and looked upon him as her son. She accused the wife of infidelity and general bad con duct, and said the complainant had a child by another man while her husband was at sea. Sarah Nicholls, a south-wester maker, said the com plainant attacked Mrs. Haines, and that the prisoner defended her and struck his wife. Mr. Yardley, after a long investigation, examined the defendant's certificates, and said he was very sorry that a man whose character for ability and conduct was de scribed as very good should have committed such a savage assault on his wife, especially as she was at the present time five months advan?.ed in preg nancy. The prisoner was not to blame for an attachment to the old woman, but his wife had a prior claim upon him. If the wife had been guilty of adultery the prisoner could leave her, and was not bound to support her ; but he would say, in parsing, there was no evidence that she had been faithless. He was afraid the old woman had too much influence over the prisoner, and had poisoned his mind against the wo- man he was bound to cherish and protect. Re sen tenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. The magistrate, in conclusion, said, " lie hal to thank you for that, Mrs. Haines." SPORTING NOTES. NEWMARKET AND NORTIIALLERTON. The memorable Acrobat and Dervish correspondence seems about to be imitated. The Squire has rushed into print, and has boldly set to work to extenuate his con duct with reference to Rifleman, and to explain that horse's inconsistent running at Doncaster. His slate. ments are plau ible, and may have their foundation in truth, for people of experience on the turf will readily remember performances even more extraordinarily "in and out " than those of Rifleman. The appearance of the horse, however, when stripped before the St. Leger, was certainly sufficient to alarm his backers and excite the worst suspicions. The running on Friday, too, was calculated to resolve the doubts which were then enter tained into certainties. Still the " diabolical hints and damnable innuendoes" which are publicly circulated should be received with caution, for people who lose their money say many things in their haste, justified, per haps, by appearances, but unwarranted by facts. Rifleman is terttinly something like the Lady mentioned in the Sekoo/ for Scandal, who recovered her shape in the most marvellous manner, for one day be so is lame that he can scarcely limp to his stable, and the next he is sound enough to run and win a severe race ! For the present I shall reserve my judgment on this case of Rifleman v. Saucebox. Mr. Osbaldeston has expressed his readiness to make the proposed match between the two horses. Should it take place circumstances will render it deeply interesting, and it will be even more exciting than was the encounter between Mountain Deer and Teddington. . . The Manchester Meeting was an unmitigated failure, and it will doubtless be discontinued. The incidents which marked the sport were unimportant. Lady 13ird was an immense " pot" for the Wilton Handicap, and both Mary and Pole Star were withdrawn to guard against spoiling the "good thing." A repetition of the Warwick Squaring seemed about to be made, but when the numbers were placed on the telegraph and showed five runners, the betting underwent a significant change with reference to the favourite. Lady Bird was the first beaten in the race, and Gamelad won easily. Garnelad, with " filbs extra," followed up his success on Friday by winning the Northern Metropolitan, and his two achievements caused attention to be directed to his Cesarewitch chance. The autumn campaign at head-quarters will commence to-morrow, and will doubtless be marked by events of unusual importance. The Eastern Counties Handicap is the leading item on Tuesday's programme, and it is likely to occasion an interesting encounter. Old Ephesus heads the list at 9st, and the remembrance of the gallant style in which he " cut down" Early Bird, Dervish, and King of Trumps for the County Plate at York, induces rue to believe him capable of defeating whatever op ponents he may encounter to morrow. Para and Chalice stand next in my estimation. The Triennial Stakes will not excite unusual interest. King Torn will make his "re-appearance" to-morrow. The Triennial for two-yr-olds I shall assign to Aleppo. Rifleman will, perhaps, win his en gagement on Thursday. Spindle has Gibs. extra to carry for the Hopeful Stakes, but that additional weight will scarcely destroy her chance. For the Grand Duke Mi chael the sweets of success may be tasted with Claret. Should Polmoodie start fur the Buckingham Stakes he will doubtless experience little difficulty in winning. In his absence I shall prefer "my own Blue Bell." For the St. Leger I shall select Habana. Southern sportsmen will regard the meetings ap pointed to take place at Northallerton and Moumonth with indifference. The sport is not likely to be either plentiful or interesting at the North Riding Meeting. Byrsa and Mirage may make a good race for the Two- Yrs-Old Stakes, and it is probable that they will catch the judge's eye in the order in which I have set down their names. The. North Riding Handicap numbers eighteen nominations, of which the names of Talfourd and Braxey appear most attractive. Biron may carry off the Northallerton Handicap. The Monmouth Meeting is so remote and inaccessible to southern Turfites that it would be useless to prate of its promise of sport. Sept, 24.

The child was not sworn owing to her being too young to know the nature of an oath, but she positively asserted that the prisoner was the party who took the basket fro:n her. Inspector Mackenzie, M division, sail he had re ceived several notes from various parts of London giving a descriptirn of a female like the prisoner going about LorOon robbing old!..ren. The female in question is described as being stropgiy pock-mar:zed, and a scar ova r her right eye. Mr. Cambe ordered the prisoner to raise her veil, when her appearance answered the description in every particular. Inspector Mackenzie asked for a remand to enable him to obtain the evidence of other prsons whose children had been robbed. 124 x d 83 G9i 5i 1211 56i i i f '63 6 96 5f 92 i 11 i 83i 2i 231 f i 65 1 i i 5 38 10 St. S. iJy 10 20 5 19 10 St. 20 50 All 100 9 70 69j 104 f 100 100 100 100 100 100 all all 10 tool 100 10 50 12 12 10 57i 7 6i 32 St. 5 St. 20 12i 25 20 10 8i 25 10 L. 0.6 8i 9 81 23 ila i 141 5 4 i 24 i i 116 k 35 4 i 41# # Pr" 121 Fm 101 2i RKBT NE IT 7 S. —(Tars DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. ad wheats supported previous rates in most of the country markets held on Saturday, but new qualities ruled dull, at a decline of from le. to 2s. per quarter. There was a fair amount of business doing in spring corn and flour, at full quotations. Our advises from New York state that lar.:e quantities of grain and flour were in course of shipment to England. The French markets are very brisk, and dearer. Those in the Lower Baltic continue active. Up to our mark, , t, la,t week, the receipts of English grain were very moderate. From abroad we received 5,450 quarters of wheat, 530 barley, 3,598 oats, 200 beans, 18 peas, 37 tares, 4,002 linseed, 2,515 rapeseed, 52 sundry seeds, and 812 sacks of flour. The supply csf English wheat received fresh up to our market this morning, coastwise, was on the increase, and we had an extensive arrival by land carriage. At least four-fifths of the arrivals were of the present year's growth, and in full average condition. In the early part of the day the demand for all kinds was in a very sluggish state, although there were several buyers in the market from Francs% It continued heavy for some time, and prices at length gave way from Is to 2s per quarter, without much progress being made in sales. There was only a moderate show of foreign when.t. ap e had a fair sale for most kinds, chiefly on Continental ac count, at full quotations ; but for home consumptio n wr y little business was doing, on former twins. Floatg in cargoes of grain wore h e ld a t ver y f u ll pr i ces. Scarcely any barley, either English or foreign, was on show, and the whole was readily disposed of at ve:y full prices. _ _ The malt trade was firm, and fine qualities were rather dearer. Oats, the supply of which was limited, sold to a fair extent, at full quotations. The few beans in the market were taken at fully previous rates:. White peas were brisk, end fully 2 dearer. Other kinds- supported last week's currency. We had a fair ssle fur flour, and some Spanish sold for France at very full prices. The exports from London last week were nearly 7,000 sacks.

The prices of meat in France are still unusually high, notwithstanding that a considerable increase has taken place in the importations of stock both from Spain and Holland. In the latter country, production can scarcely keep pace with the foreign demand. There was a full average supply of foreign stock here, to-day, in middling condition. The arrivals of stock from Ireland, last week, direct by sea, were 141 beasts. To-day, there were on sale 341 beasts, and 1,500 sheep, together with 200 pigs from Dub lin and Cork, sda Liverpool. Their generid quality was good. From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts fresh np this morning were tolerably good as to number, but very deficient in quality. From Scotland no stock came fresh to hand. For most breeds we had a slow trade, at Fri lay's decline in the quotations of 2d per 81b5. The top figure for beef was 4s 8d per 81bs. The receipts of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, were 2,200 short horns, end from other parts of England 500 of various breeds. The re• mainder of the supply was derived from Ireland and the Continent. Although there was a considerable falling off in the sup ply of sheep compared with slonday last, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state. In prices, however, no change took place. The best old Downs realised 5s per Sibs. Prime small calves sold steadily, at very full prices. Otherwise the veal trade was heavy, at barely late rates. There was a fair demand for pigs, and last week's cur rency was well supported.

By Car. taro Rafter, author of " The Guards," and " Our Indian A imy." 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. iThis story consists of a series of sketches in t!:e life of a young officer. It is described in a vivid and graphic manner, and the style is fiov'ing and agreeable. The adventures of the hero are many and various, and in the course of their ocaurrence the reader is made acquainted with numerous in dividuals ; and is intrcal seed to a I grades of s aiety in the ,difilring countries of Ireland, ;ipaino, and India. Percy Blake early commenced his career in the militia, where ho was inducted into the mysteries of his future life. At first they were trivial circumstances that occupied his time. In explanation of this he remarks, that "our youth is spent in killing time, and our age in repenting of the murder." Some of the anecdotes are very amusing, one of which was his sending a letter of remonstrance to his commanding officer, in conse quence of his supplanting him in dancing with an heiress. Another lady, whom he admired greatly, was Mary Anstruther, but Le was again unfor tunate, for an old uncle came, up from the country, and chancing to come in contact with Percy, as the latter was hastening; to pay his respects to the ladies, he exclaimed, "Keep your distance, sir." A few weeks afterwards Percy Blake was summoned to protect his mill that was set on fire by some miscreants. After some time the unlucky owner of the property was dis covered at the top of the house screaming for as sistance. On his appealing to Percy for assistance, the latter curtly replied, " Excuse me, sir, I know how to keep my distance." It may be suggested by some that this is carrving on a joke too far, in the presence of actual danger, but the testy old uncle was speedily released —not, however, to be grateful forpreserratio n ; he was too i ndignantathisdetentio r a An interesting episod e is introduced of the escape of a French prisoner. The two sisters, the supposed country cousin, are all very ingeniously described, and the sudden transition from jealousy to astonish ment, and thence to generosity, is natural in the conduct of a hasty, kind-hearted person, like Percy Blake. The good action was not thrown away ; for, afterwards, in a battle-field of Spain, " even where the thickest of year's tempests lowered," Percy Blake met th e h ero o f the escapade of that dreary night in Ireland. He was then the pre server, instead of the preserved. An exciting scene is given of a co ur t- mart i a l , i n which an uncle of Percy's was implicated. Flaherty was in the ranks, but his nephew generously came forward and by Lis adroitness contrived to outwit his ene mies, and proved that his uncle had been unfortu nate and imprudent, but not guilty. He was ac quitted by the Court, and his nephew obtained much credit for so boldly befriending him when in disgrace. But his accuser, Hopkins, a captain in Percy Blake's regiment, was not so easily appeased. Hawn, ' previously f orme d a di slike to our hero, he seized this opportunity to revenge himself ; and being a first rate duellist, he determined to pro. yoke him to a challenge. He therefore took occasion, in the presence of others, to offer him in sults he could not pass unnoticed, and the result was a duel in which both combatants were wounded. Hopkins was confined to his room for some months, and his opponent prevented by a fractured arm from accompanying his regiment to the Peninsula, as he had hoped and intended to do. As he had long been seeking an oppor tunity of winning that distinction on which he had placed all his hopes, he seized the first occa sion to join his company at his own expense, and his solitary journey across the disturbed peninsula presents some striking scenes and descriptions to the reader. One of the most remarkable of these is his assumption of the dress of a Spanish senora, in order to avoid detection by a company of French soldiers. This disguise is, however, discovered, and he is only rescued from immediate death by the energy of the fair Maria, his companion, who stabs several men in his defence, leaving him more horrified at her murdering propensities than grateful for her de ' votion. He finally escapes through the interven tion of a band of Guerillas. While in Spain he becomes attached to a young orphan novice, who consents to an elopement; but, unfortunately, when everything for their flight was prepared the com mander-in-chief forbids the officer's departure. After some time the fair Julia fulfilled her original intention, and became a Lady Abbess. Notwith standing these misfortunes Percy Blake preserved his love of military fame, and had the satisfaction of joining Picton's division in the storming of Ciu dadßodrigo. Here he had anarrowescape, beingene of the many sufferers from the explosion of a maga zine. His promotion subsequently removed him to India. Several amusing anecdotes are narrated of his various adventures there, commencing with his inauspicious visit to Julia Monson, a lady to whom he had become much attached in his voyage out, and to whose residence he proceeded ; but an ob stacle opposed itself to the furtherance of their ac quaintance in the person of the aunt, a most ludi crous character, who made absurd mistakes, and blamed others for the consequences of them. Percy Blake resigned the affair in despair , and re turned to his n ew f r i en d s. " A day in the Jungle" is entertaining, and the new comer proved himself a novitiate in Oriental subjects by flinging himself down to rest in awaiting his companions, on what he thought the stem of a palmyra tree, but what was really a monstrotes boa constrictor. His dis may was great on being apprised of his mistake. A deep-laid plan and subtle trick of the Brahmins was clearly detected by Dr. Scott, of the Re giment, at the time when it was about to lead the hero into serious conseque»ces. In a skirmish about some trifle Percy Blake had struck a Brahmin, who pretended instantly that he was dead, and with many forms and ceremonies his companions brought the corpse to the tent of the major, who was horrified, and on the point of sending Blake to Madras, when the Doctor skil fully detected the cheat. Not permitted to touch the body, he poured some sealing wax which he had ignited, upon the defunct, who started into life and fled away. Among numerous stirring events time passed on, and Percy Blake had the happi ness of rescuing Julia, who had married another through treachery of her friends, from great danger, and restoring her to her family. A painful inci dent is recorded of the break-up of the monsoon, in which awful scene the unfortunate Croker, a favourite friend and companion of Percy's, was drowned. This was the hero's last tie to India. He had retired from the service in India owing to some misunderstandings that had arisen, and returned home. Here, after some time, he met, in t rave lli ng, his beautiful cousin Honoria, whom he had introduced to our notice at the com mencement of the story. After so many various attachments that had been rejected, prevented, and forbidden, it was a relief and a privilege to find one who had been true and faithful to the _play mate of her childhood through the years of his exile and the various changes of the world striking spectacle of life is presented in t hese vo lumes. We are introduced to the excit ing ev ent s of social existence, and the stirring scenes of glori ous war. In all the disputes and differences in separable from a roving military career the he ro maintained the courtesy of a g entleman, and tho superiority of a noble nature. Percy Blake pos sesses many attractions to the a d m irers of the bril liant and sparkling in romance. Aristobulus ; a Tale of Jerusalem. By M. R. vanagh. 3 vole. Newby. The scene of this story is laid in the Holy City, and its epoch is in the reign of H ero d, a b out 30 years before the Christian era.

This concludes the book, as it touch upon the still darker story of his unfortunate sister, whose sacrifice to Herod's jealousy has en gaged the pens of poets and romancists. TII9 violent and envious Herod, his wicked sister and evil genius Salome, the beautiful and virtuous Mariamne, and her cunning and crafty mother Alexandra, whose idol is her son, all occupy pro ' minent places in the story, while several minor characters serve to fill up the tale and diver the Egyptian, f orms a pleasing con ', sify the interest.

The total novelty of the scene and characters may afford a refreshing change to those who are weary of narratives of modern life, though the passions of the human heart, and their influ ence over the actions of men, present the same features in all times and countries. The well known features of the story may also prove an at traction to those who find an interest in historical romance. 10 4 6 I 4 8 5 0 13 6 310 Neat small porkers ... 4 4 4 8 Boasts... 4,668 Sheep ... 31,190 Calves... ... 248 StremmsoV SALr% Sept. 21, 1853.—Beasts, 5,654 ; sheep, 26,450; calves, 250; pigs, 880. 40 4 6 5,00 S 23,330 209 407 _ . . ,ept. 27, 1852.—Beasts, 6,286; sheep, 28,560; calves, 301 ; pigs, 415.
