The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed firmly, but tamely, and, compared with Friday's 50 range, the prices were extr eme . The sales were •31 estimated at 6,000 *bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export, and on speculation, comprising 27i 50 Pernam and Marauham, at bid. to 7d. ; 22 150 Egyptian, at 6id. to 7/d. ; and 1,000 Surat, 2g . at 41d. to sid. Th e Railway Share Market was 4 depressed, and little business was done. The Monit eur of yesterday publishes an official st. 0 table of th e average prices of grain throughout the 50 principal markets in France during September, 20 which exhibits an important diminution compared 10 with the general returns of the previous month. 1 5 - ( 0 ) This has b een ma i n l y b rought about by the large !E arrivals of wheat at Marseilles during the past I f t ) . S t. month. At the sam e ti me i t is remarkable that the quotations in that market show very little re- , trograde movement, notwithstanding the immense 2i 1 quantities of wheat r ece i ve d f rom Odessa and the it. Seaqf Azoff, which encumbered the docks and quays. i lt• s The average p r i ce d ur i ng the second week of August t. was 33f. 49c. per h ec t o lit re i n the Marseilles market, 10 and the corresponding week in September it was !t; again 33f. 27c., showing a small decline of 22c., 10 while the fall in other markets ranged from lfr. to 3t. 2fr. 50c. per hectolitre. All the markets in the I t : midland districts, whi c h h a d b een dra i ned of sup- 3t. plies under the impression that there would be a 3t • bad harvest i n thi s part o f F rance, have been it. stocked from Marseilles, where the corn merchants ~`,l are demanding hi g h pr i ces notwithstanding the '"" 1 abundance of gra i n i n t h e market. The average 16f, price of wheat in the markets generally during i 3 t * August was 32f. 63 c ., an d for the month of Sep- 23 tember 30f. 38c., exhibiting a fall of if. 25c. per ili hectolitre f or th e w h ole of France. , St. 3t. The rates of continental exchange for three 20 months yesterday afternoon were generally lower, 10 the movement in the terms of discount throughout St. J<forthern Europe having further deranged them. 25 Gold, both a t P ar i s an d H amburg, at the present et. moment, is dearer than in London, but remittances 6 . 26 of gold from New York to this country continue to 10 10 yield a small profit. Accounts from Hamburg mention that the pressure for money in that city 8 1: had slightly relaxed. Shipments of specie from so 'London thither are still made, and a large amount 25 of silver was tak en f rom the Bank of Englaid yes- 1`21,n terday for that purpose. The meeting of the South Australian Copper Mining Company was held to-day, but was ad journed in consequence of the report of the new ,manager not having arrived in time for the meetin g . Up to the present time no definite information, relative to the extent of the frauds committed by Mr. Robson, at the transfer office of the Crystal Palace Company, has been published, but the inves tigation is still proceeding, and the result will shortly be made known. Meanwhile, the coin. reittee of the Stock Exchange have resolved " that where shares in the Crystal Palace Company have been duly registered and acknowledged by the er , mpany, the committee decline to interfere." The demand for discounts at the Bank of Eng hand continues excessive. Most persons are agreeably surprised at the fa vourable nature of the quarterly Revenue state ment, showing an increase in the income during that period of 1,114,288/. It is remarked that if the amount of the loan and the sum absorbed in the liquidation of Deficiency Bills were deducted from the two opposite sides of the account, the Chancellor would then have had a very respectable surplus. This return, together with the rather more satis factory accounts from Paris, reporting some diminution in the silver speculation, has had a marked effect on the Funds, which, after recovering rath er d ec id edly yesterday after zoon, still tend upwards. The belief is expressed that the Bourse has been at its worst point, and a recovery is now expected. Consols for Transfer have been 92k 92 i s, and 92k 93. For the Bth inst. the rates have been 92i 924 93, and 921 1. They are now about 92 for both. The New Two-and-a-Ralf per Cents. are 77. Exchequer Bills have recovered to Bs. and 12s. Pm. ; the Bonds are 991 ; and East India Bonds 10s. to 14s. premium. foreign investments are dull, but firmer. Turk ish 6 per Cents, have rallied to 99i 4 , 100, and the 4 per Cents. are looi. Russian elf per Cents. are quoted 96 ; Spanish Deferred, 24 ; and Brazilian Small, 100 ex div. Dutch 2i per Cents. are 64, and the 4 per Cents., without the dividend, 951 The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks Grenada Deferred Bonds, 64 to n; Mexican, 211 to 22i ; Peruvian, 76 to 78 ; ditto 8 per Ceuta., 55 to 57 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 42 to 44 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 106 to 108 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 95 to 97 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 41k 421 ; ditto Deferred, 23k 231; ditto Certificates, 51 I ; ditto.

Great Western have risen 11. to 1/. 10s., Northern 1/., South- Western 10s. to 155., Midland 1/. to 11. 55., South- Eastern 10s. to 155., and the rest in proportion. The French are steady but dull, and the East Indian and Canadian are without any marked change. The Shares of the Bank of London and the City Bank are firmer ; but the Ottoman, the London Joint-Stock, and the Oriental rule heavy. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY ♦T ONE, O'CLOCK.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) His Honour resumed his sittings after his vacation IN RE DELL AND BAINIRIDGE. Mr. Bagley, instructed by Mr. Warrand, applied to the Court under the following circumstances :—The choice of assignees took place in August last when Dell surrendered, but Bainbridge had absconded. An appli cation was then made to Mr. Commissioner Fane for an order to prosecute Dell, but that learned commissioner declined to interfere, but gave leave to Mr. Turner, the solicitor to the assignees, to apply to his Honour (Evans), He, Mr. Bagley, had now to apply for an order that the bankrupt or his solicitor, Mr. Warrand, should have notice of any application, so that the case might not be heard ex parte. His Honour said that he could not make any such order. The application was therefore refused. IN RE CIAMINADA. This bankrupt was described as of Bread-street-build ings, merchant, and to-day was appointed for his last examination, which had been adjourned to enable the bankrupt to file his accounts. Mr. Chidley appeared for creditors, but as no ac counts had been yet filed the examination was now adjourned sine die. CITY SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) EXPARTE •-••••••-• An application was made by the plaintiff in a case tried a short time since in this court, in which the,plain tiff recovered a verdict. He now complained that the attorney whom he had engaged detained the plaint note, and he therefore applied to the Court to grant a certificate of judgment having been obtained, so as to enable bim to take out execution in another district, His Honour—Why does he keep the plaint note ? The applicant said that he had agreed with him to conduct the case for 2/., but he afterwards required another it., which was paid, and on the case being heard his Honour granted 1/. as the attorney's fee, which he (the attorney) claimedin addition to the money paid, and refused to give up any of the papers unless allowed to draw it, or it was paid by applicant. He (applicant) refused, and contended that he had then paid more than the attorney was entitled to, as he (applicant) could have engaged a barrister for less money. His Honour—Then you would have had to have paid a barrister and an attorney. Applicant—No ; I need not have employed an attor• ney in this court. His Honour—l know you must under the General County Court Act. (On reference to the City Act it was found that there was no proviso to that effect.) His Honour—U der the circumstances we will direct a certificate to issue, but I think you will be in some difficulty without the plaint note ; and I must say that I do not think you act very generously, for your attor• ney conducted the case with very great skill, and bad to attend on two or three OCCABiOIIS. The certificate was then granted. POLICE INTELLTGENCE.— (This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A NEEDY THIEF.—Joke Edwards, a miserable•looking young fellow, was charged with picking pockets. The prisoner said distress drove him to steal the handkerchief. He had a sick wife, and they were both in a state of starvation. Mr. Beadon—lf you were in such distress why did you not go to the workhouse and apply for relief ! Prisoner—l did, your worship, but I was refused relief, and in addition got nearly kicked out of the place. Mr. Beadon—Then yon ought to have gone to a ma , gistrate and stated your case to him. Prisoner—Yes, that's all very well, but how would you like to go without " grub" for a day ! It would drive yeu to do anything, as it did me. Mr. Beadon—l shall/commit yon for six weeks. Prisoner—Thank you, sir, I shall get some " grub" at last. Assam'. —David Anderson was fined V. for an unprovoked assault on Mr. Newington, pastry-nook, residing in Great Titchfield-street. SOUTHWARK. A DISHONEST APPRENTIOE.—CharIes Mitxteell, a re spectable-looking lad, was brought before Mr. Seeker, from Wandsworth House of Correction, by Sergeant Gardner, 25 M, ohargod with unlawfully obtaining a gold chain from Mr. James Pree, silversmith and jeweller, Great Dover-road, Borough. Mr. Pree said he knew the prisoner, as being brought np by an independent gentl.a...n; na m ed as residing in Robbing-lane, Old Kent-road. He wasap prenticed to Mr. Jackson, a silversmith in the City. In the early part of the year Mr. Housewood purchased a chain of witness for him. In April last the prisoner came to him and said he had lost his chain, ' and Mr. Housewood was going to present him with another. The prisoner selected one, saying that it was for Mr. Housewood, and that it would be paid for in a fortnight. As soon as the prisoner was committed to Wandsworth, he found out that Mr. Housewood had neither entered the chain nor sold it, but that he had pledged it shortly after he had it in his possession. The chain produced by the pawnbroker was the same the prisoner took away. Committed for trial.

NOTIONS FROM NEWMARKET. A satisfactory supply of sport, and weather which offered no drawback from its enjoyment, rendered the opening day of the First October Meeting pleasant enough. The town is not full, yet the number of visitors is fully equal to the average, and, all things considered, the prospect of a successful campaign at head-quarters is most encouraging. The Subscription Room no longer presents a bare and unfinished appearance ; the interior has been elaborately decorated, and over the mantel piece is an oil painting of the horse Reubens, who seems, by the way, to be a particularly wild and " flashy " animal. The sport was interesting. Ayacanora carried off the Hopeful Stakes, beating Lambourn, who at one time looked "all over the winner," by a neck, and I am inclined to believe that her success was mainly attribut able to the superior skill and judgment of Alfred Day, who certainly cannot be " handicapped " with Sopp, the rider of Lambourn, Vanity, who had all the best of the weights, was third, and a bad third too. The game which was played with Poacher and Flacrow proves that the "party" are shrewd turf tacticians. To bring Flacrow to 3 to 1, and have the real Simon Pure at 16 to 1, was cer tainly an admirable piece of racing stratagem. Fordham's luck and determined riding only brought Blue Rock through, for on entering the cords Poacher seemed really about to snatch the victory from him. The two top weights, Flacrow and New Brighton, were third and fourth. Mcetissima was a rare good thing for The Triennial, and, as usual, the "talent" were in the secret. Her backers, however, did not feel comfortable until Mr. Clark had given orders to hoist her number on the tele graph. Ayacanora was beaten by a neck only, and Che valier d'lndustrie, on whom Wells again sported Mr. Howard's colours, was only a head behind her. The Cup was contested by Homily and Fandango. The horse won, but I think I never saw animals more leg.weary and distressed after a race than they were when pulled up. It was some time before Fandango could be led back into the town. It is said that the Cup has not been contested for upwards of sixty years, and indeed it would seem that the modern system of racing would only enable us to find two four-yr-olds capable of galloping over the B.C. twice in a century. The Northallerton Meeting has certainly drawn •ff certain book makers from Newmarket, whilst it will be well supported by the North Country division. The programme contains eleven items, and for the most part good racing may be expected. lam so completely in the dark as to the probable starters that I can only express my opinion on the chances as they appear on paper. The Two-Years-Old Stakes seems likely to be confined to Sneeze and Strathnaver, and, despite the former's 51b. extra, I shall expect her to win. The representative of the Whitewall stable—perhaps the Leger winner, War lock—shall do battle for me for the Great North Riding Handicap. Either Bourgeoise or Prince Plausible will win the Northallerton Handicap. A. FRESH MAN. Newmarket, Tuesday Night. NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. TUESDAY.

CESAREWITCH AND CAMBRIDGESHIRE STAKES.-- YOUATT Vat, GRAY's adfice for the above events is now ready. Lance for the Portland Stakes, at Doncas ter, and eleven other winners is something extraordinary, but the advice on the above races will astonish all, as 1,000 to 1 can be obtained about the double event. I am positive one, if both, does not come of. Recollect, I named Mr. Sykes and Crown Pigeon last year (first and second). Apply early, or the long price will be lost.

DITLLLN, TITESIA.Y MORNING. THE LIINACY COMMISSION. It will no doubt afford infinite satisfaction to , Irish patriots (on paper) and denouncers of Govern ment jobs generally that the labours of the Lunacy Commission just appointed are expected to be brought to a close within the ensuing six months. The virtuous indignation, therefore, which has been excited against the appointment of Sir Thos. Redington as chairman and Mr. H. J. Barry as secretary (paid, too), has been so much needless waste of powder and ball in the ranks of the inde pendent oppositionists. THE CRIMEAN BANQUET. The subscriptions continue to pour in steadily, if not rapidly. A meeting of the committee is appointed to be held on Friday next, and if the gross sum then received reaches to a certain fixed figure, it is said that the day and the site of the demonstration will be finally decided upon. As far as can be judged, the arrangements already made hold out a hope that the Dublin banquet will realise the most sanguine expectations of the pro moters and subscribers of all degrees. TILE LATE STORM. The papers are filled with details of the casualties consequent upon the terrific gales of Friday and Sa turday. The storm appears to have been confined to the eastern and north-eastern coasts. In Belfast it was severely felt, and the shipping in the river and along that coast suffered a considerable amount of damage. At present the weather is quite calm, but, according to the weatherwise, everything in dicates the advent of an unusually premature win ter. A letter f rom Drogheda, written last night, says : "Along the course of the Mattock river, which is a tributary of the Boyne, and runs from westward into that river, the farming portion of the community hare suffered very material losses. Although throughout Meath the far greater portion of the crops had been gathered in, yet one fa rmer l os t seven acres of w h eat which had been stocked in the fields, and was carried away with the great floods which accumulated during the late storm. Two acres of oats belonging to another party were swept away, and more or less which bad not been taken home to the farmsteads met with similar casualty. The Mattock river swelled far and away be yond anything known before, and eventually the accu mulation of waters bore down upon the bridge which. spans the Mattock at its discharge into the Boyne, broke down the structure, and rendered the way impassable for vehicles. The Drogheda steamers which were out dur ing the gale, and for the safety of which apprehensions were felt, are all right." THE LATE INSURRECTION AT NEUCHATEL. A letter from Berne gives the following details of the deliberations of the National Council : " This day, Friday, Sept. 26, the National Council was occupied with the Neuchatel question, that is to say, it deliberated upon the conduct and reports of the Federal Council relative to the events of Sept. 3. "The reporter of the commission, Gen. Dufour, in a few words, explained and supported the two resolutions which it is the intention of the commission to decree :-- "`l. The people of Neuchatel, in maintaining the re publican constitution in the canton of Neuchatel, and thereby the integrity of the Swiss Confederation, have deserved well of the country. " 2. The National Council approves the prudent and, at the same time, energetic line of conduct of the Fede• ral Council, and invites it to persevere in it.' The General dwelt upon the fact that the commission was unanimous on these two points ; he congratulated the Republicans of Neuchatel on having triumphed by their own strength, and for having by this great mani festation done away with all doubt , strangers might have entertained respecting the intentions and the wish of tke great majority of the canton. The commission,' he repeated, accepts and approves unanimously the re ports of the Federal Council, which also pronounces itself as regards future diplomatic communications. No over ture will be admitted which has not for basis the recog nition of the absolute independence of Neuchatel ; and, under present circumstances, it is not for us to take the initiative. After all,' concluded the General, the cons sequences of the events at Neuchatel may perhaps be happier than are anticipated.' " After this speech M. de Gonzenbacb, who by birth and by his political position is olosely connected with the nobility of Neuchatel, spoke to the following purpose : It was not his wish to disturb the harmony of the assess bly ; he approved the conduct of the Federal Council ; he admired the heroism of the Neuchatel people, whose affairs and history he had carefully studied. Never on any former occasion did he feel so full at heart, but his conscience bade him say a word for a friend in misfor tune. The leader of the insurrection was for a long time his nearest neighbour ; he was a man of feeling, of noble sentiments, a benefactor to the poor ; moreover he was a Swiss ; his wife was a Swiss ; he rose to the rank of Lieutenant• Colonel in the Federal army ; the rigorous idea only which he entertained of the oath he took to the King of Prussia, of which he had never been relieved, had doubtless drawn him into an illegal act. Was it their intention to make such a man wear a convict's dress ? Was it their intention to sentence to the same opprobrium hundreds of other men who, once free of their oath, would become as good Swiss as members of that assembly ? There was a means to avoid such an evil ; it is that the Federal Assembly shall order the Federal Council to take the initiative of negotiations with the King of Prussia ; the result of those negotia tions would be on the one hand the happy solution of the Neuchatel afair, or, on the other, an amnesty. Th e wor d amnesty' had n ever b een heard in that assembly with out applause. You have always shown yourselves great'ssaid the speaker in conclusion, " and you will show yourselves magnanimous.' M. de G - onzenbach pro posed an amendment according to the last portion of his speech, " M. Mathey, Prefect of Neuchatel, the same person who jumped from the second storey of his house to call the citizens of the Val-de-Ruz to arms, expressed also his thanks to the Confederation and to the Federal Council; he said the canton had simply performed its duty towards the common country. As regarded the clemency alluded to by AL de Gonzenbach, it was not for republicans to take lessons from monarchs. Let justice have its course, then any proposal for clemency might be considered. Should the telegraph inform that very day the inhabi tants of Neuchatel that the Council had voted the pro positions of the commission it would be a truly national festival. " This speech was loudly applauded. " Councillor Escher, the vice-president of the assem bly, said he appreciated the personal motives of M. de Gonzenbach; but the National Council had a duty to perform, to shield the interests of the Confederation. He said the initiative might be taken by a third party, and lead to a satisfactory result for all parties. 64 Various other members addressed the assembly. Dr. Schneider entered into a long historical statement to prove that Neuchatel always possessed the right of self government, which right was acknowledged by the King •f Prussia himself. Whatever was the solution the in dependence of Neuchatel was a fact. "M. de Gonzenbach finally withdrew his amendment, and the assembly unanimously adopted the two proposi tions of the cpuimission." Tllll EQUINOCTIAL GALES. In addition to the numerous lists of wrecks given in our yesterday's impression tho following have to-day been reported at Lloyd's.
