'ON Y' MA: KET A. 111) CITY, Two ,N.Loos.. The Live* pool Cotton Market yesterday closed frin i sy. and with some animation, and full prices 'ere obtained. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 were taken on speculation, comprising 110 Pernam and Maranham, at 64d. to 7d. ; 170 Bahia, qd. to bid. ; 750 Egyptian, 611 to lid. ; 600 Surat„ 47,,d. to s;d. ; and 80 Sea Islands, ls. to ls. 91. per lb. • The Rail -way Share Market was very buoyant at a slight advance on the current quotations of Wednesday. Notwithstanding the dearness of money, and the high rates charged for the negotiation of commer cial bills, the Colonial produce markets have been moderately active this week, and the quotations of several of the most important staples have ad vanced. Sugar has been in brisk request, and prices have risen 6d. to Is. per cwt. Holders are asking even higher terms, which does not appear to have checked business. Coffee has been steady, but the dealings have not been very numerous. Rice has been in increased demand, tea firm, and coco a dull, at previous quotations. 1u saltpetre a fair business has been done, at steady prices, and cochineal has not undergone any material change. Spices have been more freely dealt in, and in some instances improved quotations have been current. The tallow market has been very active, at en hanced quotations. The public sales of indigo commenced on Tuesday, consisting of 17,633 chests. Prices have advanced 4d. to Bd. per lb., compared 'with those realised in the July series. Telegraph advices from Madrid of the 15th inst., announce the adjudication of the Spanish Northern Railway from Madrid to Bayonne on that day to the Spanish Credit Mohler Company. It will be remembered that a law was voted by the Corres conceding the construction of this line provi sionally to that company, with a subsidy of 200 millions of reals from the Government. The Credit frost Company were also competitors, but they retired, and the Concession has been received with Unanimous satisfaction by all parties concerned. The various rumours which are in circulation, both here and in Paris, relative to the situation of the money market, and the plans suggested for its relief, at once indicate the uneasy feeling that prevails and the necessitywhich exists for continued caution. The anxiety exhibited by the Bank of England Directors to contract their engagements by ceasing to make advances on stock shows that the position of the establishment renders the exer cise of a very restrictive policy absolutely neces sary. The course adopted yesterday at the "par lour" meeting was one of great significance, prov iug a desire to limit speculation, and to be prepared for any demands for assistance from the mercantile c ornmunity. The inquiry for money is exceeding active, and rathe r higher terms are current for discounts. It seems generally anticipated that an issue of small totes would well be resorted to before the Direc tors resolve to carry the minimum, still higher, the inconvenience felt by the commercial interest b eing already very severe. The purchaaes of gold for the Bank of France, Which is supporting itself at our expense, continue, a nd a small quantity was withdrawn yesterday from the Bank of England. A large business has been done in the English Stock Market to-day, as, in addition to the invest- Ments by the public, which continue to be effected t ° some extent, there is a disposition to specu late for an advance. It is thought that the Money Market cannot be in a much worse ?ooition, and that whatever measures are adopted I beY will prove beneficial, and perhaps immediately initiate a recovery. Consols for money have been 90 i. 91, then 91i, and still later 911. The account Prices have been 91l g, and 91i %. They are now 9 1 to 91/ for the former, and 91i g for the latter. The New Threes aro 90 to 90k, and the Reduced 89 4- to 90;. Bank Stock is 210 to 213. Exchequer bills have descended to ls. discount and 45. pre- Minns, and the Bonds 98g. In thst Foreign Market business is dull, and prices remain heavy. Turkish have been lower, the 6 per Cents. having declined to 87i 88k, and the 4 per Cents. are 98 to 981. Spanish 3 per Cents. have been 41 to 41k, being 1 per cent. lower. Peruvian 4i per Cents. are marked 76, and Dutch 4 per Cents. 94F The following are the nominal prices of Foreign stocks :--Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 71 ; Mexi eat, 2111 ; Peruvian 4?, per Cents., 74 76 ; ditto Per Cents., 53 55 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 1 3 45 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 106 108 ; ditto ‘q per Cen ts-, 95 97 ; Spanish 3 p e r C en t s ., 41:1 42±; ditto N ew.., Def erre d , 23 41; ditto Certificates, 5 ; ditto r assiv e, I. v _ Messrs.

HANDICAP SWEEPSTAKES. The great Powers have succeeded in delivering I the Danubian Principalities from the thraldom of Russia ; but the subjoined letter, which is from a sure hand, goes far to prove that the unfortunate Wallachians are in a worse position at present than they were three years and a half ago : "BUCHAREST, OCt. 6. " Some time ago the present Government publicly an aeunced its intention to depose all those functionaries, whether ecclesiastical, administrative, or judicial, who in their quality of members of the Legislative As sembly had expressed themselves content with the services rendered by the ex-Hospodar ; but we were far from expecting such a complete razzia as took place eight or ten days ago, by order of the Kaimakan. Not only have the employ 63 of the Supreme Court of Justice and those of the Courts of Appeal in Great and Little Wallachia, been dismissed en bloc, but the Government is now occupied in the same way in the lower courts. Numerous changes have also been made in the Administration, bit in order not to tre you, I only mention in particular the dismissal of the Secretaries-General of the Prefectures of districts, and of the employes of the General Guardianship of Orphans. "Fortunately, however, public opinion unanimously condemns such an abominable abuse of ephemeral power, and most energetic protests have been made against such petty and odious coups d'etat. M. Constantine Brailoy, one of the most distinguished lawyers in Wallachia, who was formerly employed in the Supreme Court of Justice, was nominated President of the Com- mercial Court of Appeal, but he seat back his appoint meat to the Minister of Justice. The Government was so offended at this freedom of speech that it ordered M. Brailoy to be brought before the newly-formed Supreme 4 Court, to answer for his disobedience and insubordination.' "Twenty-seven lawyers of repute have offered to plead the cause of M. Brailoy, but it is doubtful whether he will ever be brought to trial, as the Go vernment must be afraid of the consequences of its own acts."

Even the Government I on prolonging an occupation which s h e oug ht fi rs t informed on a very high authority, admits that to have ceased. Before the war, Russia exercised i there are G 00; but the calculation I have obtained a protector a t e over t h e pr i ncipalities which was from men of ch aracter may, I think, b© de. very hostile to their independence, to the rights of the pended on. In the prisons and the castles of the capital,. intheislands of the Bay, in the Fort of Sultan, and to the security of Europe. Europe has Brindisi, the Castle of . Trani, the citadel of Pes abolished it; it had not the intention of substituting the cars, and in the provincial prisons there cannot be protectorate of Austria for that of Russia. Before the fewer than 1,700 unhappy men imprisoned, either war, Russia never allowed a pretext to escape for he under sentence, or on suspi c i on, or by misura di vading the p r i nc i pa li t i es and for occupying them ; and the last inv as i on o f the principalities was one of the de- l polizia.—Times (Second Edition.) terminating causes of the war. The occupation of the principalities by Austria would have the same inconve niences as their occupation by Russia. This has been clearly expressed by the treaty of Paris, and so often ex plained both in the conference of Vienna and in the congress that any equivocation is impossible. Russia has renounced her pretensions to the Island of Serpents ; she has consented to the direct cession of the isles of the Lower Danube to the Porte. If we assume that the friends of Russia bad at one time entertained certain hopes these must by this time have ceased ; the dis• cusdon relative to Bolgrad cannot revive theta. The prolonged occupation of the principalities by Austria i" therefore without a pretext. . . Austria will, it is true, escape the blam e o f th e congress , if , as i t i s said, she has come to an understanding with the Porte, and has submitted her desire to Prussia and England. But of this we may express our doubts. That Prus sia has approved in advance the conduct of Austria, will not surprise us ; a reconciliation is taking place be tween the two great German powers, and Prussia may not have wished to oppose the Cabinet of Vienna on a subject which, after all, is only of secondary interest to her, We should conceive with greater difficulty even the tacit adhesion of England, who during the first ses sion of the congress displayed so much animation in favour of the Principalities, who sustained against Andriathe necessity of their union, and constantly op posed the armed occupations of that power. We shall, doubtless, be before lorg better capable of judging this grave and delicate subject. The Neapolitan Government liberated the prisoners, acquitted at t - ,e late trials, on Saturday the 11th. Mig nona demanded a passport for Genoa, but it was refused. Madlle. Piccolomini gave a concert at Belfast on Saturday last, which attracted an immense audience. The musical writer in the Belfast Mercury is in ecstaciee at the performance of the gifted lady. ITALIAN OPERA IN DUBLIN.—The first of the three operas constituting the repertoire of the brief engage. ment effected by Mr. Harris with the leading vocal artistes of her Majesty's Theatre was presented yesterday evenin g (the 14th) befo re an au di ence which might with justice be called an overflowing one. "La Traviata " was the opera. The curtain fell amidst thunders of ap plause, which was kept up until Mdlle. Piccolomini was led forward before the curtain, when the entire box audience rose, and cheers the heartiest we have heard in the theatre greeted the fair and gifted actress and vocalist. For the two remaining performances all the reeerved seats in the theatre have been taken.—Dublin Freeman. The Augsbury Gazette learns from Venice that the Military Governor, Count Gorezkowski, has received official notice that their Majesties the Emperor and Em press of Austria will arrive in the " City of the Lagunes" on 25th Nov., and remain there a whole month. Bologna letters of the Bth speak of the continuance of the outrages in the country. One letter begins thus : " We are in the midst of assassinations and robberies, and, indeed, one would suppose that the Government wishes to turn our attention from political affairs, and to leave the field clear to the brigands." A letter of the 7th from Forli, in the Papal States, speaks of a disturbance having taken place in a small town called Meldola, about 10 miles distant. It origi nated in the arrest of a young man by the gendarmery, for having refused to discontinue smoking in the street. Several groups of young men assembled and prayed the civil authority to liberate him. The Mayor sent the order to that effect, but the gendarmes refused to comply with it, and they treated that functionary very rudely. The people became irritated, and commenced assailing with stones the gendarmes and a number of soldiers of the line who came to their assistance. These had to take refuge in a wine-house. A reinforcement came up ; a col lision ensued, in which a gendarme was killed, and the soldiers were disarmed. It was said the Government would demand the aid of the Austrians. The police attempted to arrest the ringleaders, but they succeeded in escaping. EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT.—MaudesIey Draper was on Wednesday fully committed from Marlbo roug h- street Police -court, on a c h arge of embezzling 7001., the pro perty of his employer, Mr. Harding, a trimming menu facturer, 108, Regent -street. The Univers confirms the intelligence given some days ago to the effect that the Sultan has presented to the Emperor of the French the sanctuary and church of St. Anne, detained by the Turks since the capture of Jeru salem by Sultan Saladin. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—As a covey of partridges was crossing the rail on the farm of Mr. Kent, of Chip penham' on Thursday l as t, th ree o f t h e bi rds flew with such violence against the telegraph wires as to cut their heads clean off, and another broke its wing. —Bury Post. EXTRAORDINARY JOCKEYSIIIP.—At the Caledonian Hunt meeting, at Ayr, last week, the ridet: of Yeutick, H. M`Lean, in the race for the Western Stakes, in the endeavour to chop down the field, discovered his saddle slipping round before he had run half a mile. Dropping astern, he, however, followed on i n th e race, wa i t i ng until the saddl e h a d fairly slid beneath the animal's belly, when, on the horse's bare back, he again set to work, and proved the winner amidst tremendous applause. RESPITE OF Jon M‘Mniens.—The Lord Provost on Tuesday received a communication from the Home Office, conveying the intelligence that John 111‘111anus, who was 1 sentenced at the last Circuit Court to be executed in Glasgow on the 23d inst. for the murder of a labourer named M 4 Lavey, at Castlehill Iron-works, on the 12th of Aug. last, bad been respired.—Glasgow Daily Mail.

HAMBURG, Thursday.—The Board of Commerce, favourably viewing the petition of the merchants, has sent to the Senate a memorial of 38 folio pages, strongly recommending a go ld stan d ard for Ger many, and urgently praying its immediate intro duction here. ECLIPSE Of THE MOON.—The following is a de scription of the beautiful lunar eclipse that took place on Monday, as seen from Mr. Howell's Observatory, at II eve :—" Th e moon vas sliming with intense briehtness over the sea, in a cloudless sky, S.E. by S., and at an elevatio n o f a b out 45 deg., when, punctual to th e predicted time, Oh. 21w., a slight dimi nution of light was evident on the eastern limb of our satellite, like a very faint wash of Indian ink, and after a little while, as she advanced in her easterly course, dipping into the earth's shadow, this latter appeared like a small dent in the moon's side, gradually growing deeper and wider, until a large piece seemed to have been actually eaten away. At this time the indented part could not be clisitingui,hed from the surrounding ebou sky, but about lmlf an hour from the corn tuencd merit, on carefully looking through Mr. Howell's equatorial for the obscured portion, I could plainly diatinguich it, clearly defined by a sharp edge, and of delicate roseate hue, and which, on my drawing their attention to it, was also seen by Capt. Soay and the other gentlemen present. As the eclipse proceeded, and more of the moon's disc became covered by the earth's umbra, the red colour grew much stronger, per vading, though with unequal intensity, the whole por tion of the disc on which the shadow was advancing like a smoky haze, with a very fiat curved outline. In advance of the curved and coppery umbra a variable band of bluish tint gradually came into view, some times very light, which continued until the period of deepest immersion (10b. 45w.), when a very small por tion of the moon's upper limb remained visible, and of a yellowish green colour. Fer a quarter of an hour the moon remained almost entirely buried in the earth's shadow, but still visible, the larger portion being of a coppery glow, but towards the upper limb dissolving into orange, this again into blue, anti the very small segment at the top into yellowish green. The appearance of the moon was now very peculiar, like a transparent body As crossed by coloured eenes, parallel to our horizon. • time proceeded, the moon was seen slowly rising above its bove the shadow (at one time looking like a crescent with horns turned downward), and as more of the illumined surface came into view the colours gradually faded away, a in t r2e7veirilsienuotredaera,fteurnintilidtahieghttrm i at the finally thesouih d - i w sa e p sre a d r g ed e of the disc. the obscuration having lasted just three hours six minutes. The obscuration of the moon made a very perceptible difference to the brilliancy of Jupiter, situated about 15 deg. to the west, and also to that of the stare which shone brightly all around, and tw o small ones . within 15 min. of the moon itself. For a short time after eleven o'clock a few clouds passed over the moon, and then the sky remained clear again to the end. A total eclipse of the moon occurred some ,ears ago , when, contrary to the expectation of several of us who were observing it the moon's disc remained visible as an ill-defined circle of cop pery red, even when completely buried in the earth's shadow. Remembering this made me desirous of watching the eclipse of last night, to see whether any similar phenomena would be displayed during a partial obscuration, and which I expected, because the eclipse wa s so nearly total. The appearances presented last night could he seen with the naked eye ; but through the telescope we could also see the whole surface of the moon, and plainly distinguish the various spots, lines, and circularranges of mountainaso well known toastronomers. The cause of the singular and beautiful appearances witnessed by us last night was the refraction and de compositioU of the sun's light iu passing through the earth's :atmosphere ; but those desirous of investigating the sulaject will find it fully explained, on mathematics. principles, in ' llerschell's Outlines of Astronomy,' sec tions 421, 422, 423, 424, and 425."

Defendant did not appear, but an agent attended and swore that be was authorised by the defendant to appear and ask for 14 days' time, when be would be in a posi- tion to pay. Mr. Aickman, the chief bailiff, said that, by the offi• cer's return, it appeared that the summons had not been served personally. His Honour: But this man has sworn that the de• fondant gave the summons to him, and, therefore, that would be good service. The witness repeated that he was instructed by de fendant ; but, on being c:osely pressed, admitted that he had the summons from defendant's daughter. His Honour said that the witness bad placed himself in peril. He had sworn over and over again that he was instructed by the defendant, but as an agent he must have known that he was not telling the truth. He would get himself into trouble if he was not more cir cumspect. The summons was therefore dismissed, but the hearing Fees were returned, and a fresh summons granted gratis.

The prisoner was committed for trial. SOUTHWARK. UNGRATEFUL ROBBERY.—lfartin Kelly, a lazy look ing young fellow, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with stealing tea shillings, the property of Sarah Gatty. The prosecutrix, a poor hard-working Irishwoman, stated that she lived with her husband in Ewer-street, Gravel-lane, and a few days ago the prisoner, whom she had known in Ireland, called upon her stating that he was in great distress. She allowed him to lodge in the same house and gave him food. He slept with a young man in an adjoining room to her kitchen. Witness had by her hard work saved ten shillings, which she deposited in a box in the latter place. On Tuesday morning she left the prisoner there while she went on an errand, and on her return, a few minutes afterwards, she missed the prisoner, and discovered her box broken open, and the ten shillings gone. She immediately went to the police st3tion and mentioned her loss. Mr. Combe asked her whether she saw the prisoner leave the house ? She replied that as soon as she entered and missed him from the kitchen she heard a noise up stairs, and on going to see what it was she saw him jump out of the window into the street, and he made his escape before she could get out. In answer to the charge, the prisoner, in the most impudent manner, denied the theft. All that the prosecutor had stated was false. Mr. Combe asked him what made him jump out of the windows , and run away if he bad not robbed her ? He replied that she threatened to murder him, and he thought it the best way to act. The prosecutor denied having done anything of the kind. When she returned home and discovered that she bad been robbed she certainly cried out, " Oh, you villain !" and that's all. When he was with her he had not a shilling, but she had ascertained that he had spent several since. Mr. Combe said there could be no doubt he had robbed the poor woman, and, to give the police an opportunity of making further inquiries about him, he should remand him until Wednesday next. THAMES. SHOCKING CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—lVillianz Coddard, a carman, of No. 39, Randall street, Poplar, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged by Richard Sinclair, one of the Royal Society for Preventing Cruelty to Animals, with working a horse which was unfit to be worked at all. The horse, which was in the station-house yard ad. joining the court, was in a terrible condition. There was a large sore on both shoulder; each as big as a man's hand, and beneath the sad ale an extensive wound. The horse was yoked t a cart laden with bricks, and its agonies were very great. The saddle was covered with blood and matter, which had oozed from the wcund. The prisoner said he was a poor mar, glad to obtain a day's work. Mr. Selfe—You must not work a horse in that con• dition ; it is a. piece of great cruelty. The prisoner said he only obeyed the orders of his master, and was very sorry. Mr. Selfe ordered a summons against the prisoner's master, and also directed the police to detain the horse till after the hearing. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

The departure from Southampton of the cont ract packet appointed to convey the mails of this month to. Australia will be postponed for a few hours. [ustead of the packet being despatched after the arrival at Southampton of the day mail from London of the 18th inst., as announced in notice No. 45, dated the 15th ult., it will be fitted on this occasion to the night i nail from London, and consequently letters, &c., will bo i u time if posted or arriving in London up to the usual hours on the evening of the 18th inst. Oo thoother dates, however, fixed for the departure of the Australian mails, viz., on the 12th November, 12th December, and I Lth January, the mails will be nude up in London, as already notified, on the morning of those days respectively, and will be despatched by day mail to Southampton for embarkation on board the packet. As an error, in respect to the time of despatch of mails for Australia, has been made in the earlier impressions o f the British Postal Guide" issued on the Ist inst., th • Postmaster-General thinks it necessary to draw especial notice to the circumstance that, after the mail of the pi •- sent month, the mails for Australia will be made up in London and despatched by day mail to Southampton. By command of the Postmaster-General. ROWLAND HILL, Secretary. General Pest-office, Oct. 16. The errata of the " British Postal Guide" would be wore bulky than the book itself. The following letter has reference to the above notice : TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sru,—Pernait me to correct a misstatement into which you have been inadvertently led, in your remarks of this morning with reference to the sailing of the steam-ship °ileitis. for Australia, and which conveys an impression unfavourable to the punctuality of the European and Aus tialiau Royal Mail Company, in the despatch of their first contract steamer. The day appointed by the Post-office for sailing was Sa turday first, 18th inst., not Monday last, as you errone ously state, and in accordance with which (the Oneida be ing now perfectly ready for sea) she will proceed out into the river on the morning of Saturday, and embark her passengers, waiting till Sunday morning, for the mails only, by order of the Postmaster-General. I am, sir, your obedient servant, J. GALBRAITH, Manager. European and Australian Royal Mail Company (Limit e I), 12, St. Helen's-place, London, Oct. 16.

The institution is hi g hly success f u l . - Y. ,cr. THE QUEEN'S TASTE FOE, TAIITANS.—The furniture of the !low Castle of Balmoral (says the Court Journal) is of a very peculiar character. All the rooms are alike, that is, all the curtains, draperies, and coverings of the apartments are of one pattern, though differing in the costliness of the fabric. The design is a tartan, with a red and white check ' • and is is extrao r di nary h ow wel l this harmoni ses with the character of the building—its situation and its associations. Another peculiarity is the absence of paint on any of the internal doors ; will out any exception, of all these the wood is perfectly an naturel, though it is very highly polished ; and thus the aspect of the old feudal castle is maintained with every 'possible degree of modern comfort. SINGULAE ACCIDENT.—An inquest has just been held et Keddington, by G. A. Partridge, Esq , coroner, on the body of Emma Choat, aged two years, who, it ap- pared from the evidence of the grandmother, was run ning across the room with a knife in her hand, when she fell down, and the knife ran into her mouth. The grandmother pulled it out directly, but the child was dead almost instantly. Mr. Simpson, surgeon, made a post mor:cm, examination of the body, and found an in cised wound at the hack of the mouth just above the swallow, extending to the spinal :narrow. There wag not the slightest wound on the tongue or lips. Verdict Accidental death.—Bury Post.
