712oNEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocE. The Markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce have been exceedingly active during the past few days. With regard to tea, however, the trade have been chiefly occupied in inspecting the samples of the large quantity offered at public sale to-day. Sugars have sold readily at slightly advanced rates, while good and fine qualities of coffee have been in active request at enhanced prices. The operations in cocoa, rice, and fruit have been on a rather extensive scale at fully late quotations. Saltpetre, however, has been dull. In tallow the transactions have been rather extensive, and prices have tended upwards both for present and forward delivery. Business in the Liverpool Cotton Market yester day continued rather active, and prices were firm. The sales were 15,000 bales. About £B,OOO in gold was taken into the Bank of England yesterday. The suspension was announced yesterday after noon of Mr. W. Harryman, hop factor, of the Borough, with liabilities estimated at about £45,000, but a good dividend is expected to be realized. A sum of £2,000 has been received from Guayaquil on account of the Ecuador dividend fund. The trustees of the estate of D. Yorke and Co., bankers, of Peterborough and Ou.ndle, have declared a first dividend of 4s. in the pound. The advices from Australia report the departure of only one vessel with gold, viz., the Anglesea, with £291,554. The James Wilson, with £76,300, may be now expected daily. The traffic receipts of the South Eastern Railway for the past week show a decrease of £2,158, com pared with the corresponding period of last year. The demand for discount accommodation, to-day, has been steadily maintained. Further indications of depression have pervaded the market for Public Securities, to-day, inconse quence of continued sales by speculators who are induced to take an unfavourable view of the pro bable tendency of values on account of the unsettled state of monetary affairs in France. The prospect, moreover, of specie shipments to Ame rica being actively resumed, adds to the prevailing heaviness. Consols for transfer have been 92 to 92k; and for the account, 92k ti ; they are now, however, 921 1, and 921 respectively. The New Threes have receded to 90/ ; the Reduced to 901 ; Exchequer Bills are firm at 3s. prem. ; ditto June, at 6s. to 9s. prem. ; Bank Stock remains at 232 ; and India 5 per Cent. Loan is 1031 4. Business in the Foreign Market has been mode rately active, but prices have not shown much variation. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 80 81 ; ditto, 1858, 681 69; ditto £lOO Bonds remain at 701 ; Chilian 41 per Cents. at 844 ; and Brazilian at 91 1; Mexican are flat at 259 &; Dutch at 99; and Italian 5 per Cents. at 684 ; Sardinian are steady at 81. _ . . The following communication relates to the affairs of Mexico :—The Committee of Mexican Bond holders have received advices from Mr. Whitehead, dated Mexico, the 6th ult. Congress had been called together again, and had sat two days in secret ses sion, the Opposition having a majority of 9 or 10. It was thought that Senor Juarez and his Cabinet would be overthrown. They have required state ments from the Minister of Finance about the working of the law of the 17th July last, &c. Some negotiations seemed to be going on between the American Minister in Mexico and the Government about the waste lands which the Bondholders had required as a collateral security for the debt. The liquidation of the half-monthly account has been the chief business transacted in the Railway Share Market to-day, and prices generally have shown a slight upward movement. Lancashire and Yorkshire have advanced ss. ; Eastern Counties and Great Westerns, 10s. ; Midlands, 15s. ; and Great Northerns and Caledonians, £1 ; North- Easterns and South-Easterns declined about ss. Business in the Foreign and Colonial under takings remained very inactive. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian, receded to 162. East Indian brought 101 ; Great Indian Peninsula, 981; Bombay and Baroda, 981, and Eastern Bengal, 19Z. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares were flat, City Bank declined to 701 71.

MIDDLESEX SESSIOIIB.--(This Day.) (Before the Assistant fudge.) THE BURGLARY IN. FOBEReS-PASSAGE. Three men named Anson, Newmtn, and Somers, were indicted for being concerned in a yurglary in Fobert's passage. From the evidence of Police-constable 339 A, it appeared that, on the 4th October, about a quarter past two in the morning, he saw Anson and Nevnnai in front of a house in Fobert's-passage ; and, knowing them to be well-known thieves, he took them into custody. lie (witness) returned to the house about four o'clock, and then, from certain in formation, he was induced to make m entry by the front floor window, when he found Somers inside the house, and a large quantity of property all tied ip ready for removal. He took him into custody, and placel him with the other two men he had taken into custody. Evidence having been offered, The jury returned a verdict of guilty. The Assistant-Judge asked whether anything was known of the prisoners. Sergeant Holmes of the E division, said he had known the prisoner Anson for the last fourteen years as a thief ; his cognomen amongst his associaties was " Shiner." (Laughter.) He had been previously convicted and sen tenced to seven years transportation. The other prisoners were well-known thieves. Somers—l don't know the two men beside me. The Judge—You have told the jury so, and they don't believe you. I entirely coincide with the decision they have arrived at. Somers—Well, it is very hard I'm not be believed. COST OF IADI.4N COTTON. The Judge—You don't mean to say you are not guilty. You were taken into custody in the house that was so nearly robbed. .1 , Somers—Well, I must say I was in the house, but I don't know the two others who the police say are thieves. Newman said he had never been in trouble before. The Judge said the police appeared to know them very well. All had been previously convicted, and it was for the protection of the public generally that the prisoners should be prevented carrying on their system of plunder for some time. He thought there was not the slightest occa sion to make any difference with respect to the punishment each should receive, and he should therefore sentence them each to 10 years' penal servitude. Sir,—ln the Liverpool Mercury of the 9th inst. I find a paragraph, taken from your paper, relative to the last passage of the Great Eastern, the Persia, and the City of New York, which, I think, requires some comment. No nautical man could come to the conclusion that if one vessel met with a hurricane six days before another reached the same latitude, both must be exposed to the same adverse circumstances, but rather that, as equinoctial gales only blow from 24 to 48 hours, the latter vessel would find calm weather, but probably a heavy swell On comparing the log of the Great Eastern with that of the City of New York, I find that on the 13th of September they were distant 1 deg. 30 min. lat. N., and 6 deg. 50 min. long. W., the latter vessel making only 82 miles; while on the 12th, when the accident had not occurred to the rudder, the Great Eastern made 283 miles through a strong breeze and cross sea. On the 14th the City of New York made only 126 miles, and this performance of a vessel, considered by nautical men to be a very good model, and the finest ship of the " Inman" line, ought to go far to disprove, instead of substantiate, your conclusion, "that the weather in which the Great Eastern was disabled was nothing unusual at this season of the year in the North Atlantic." The disabling of so many of the Channel Fleet, and the logs of vessels sailing near us during the gale, tend to prove that it was not the usual weather, as the harbour at Queenstown might witness. Among many there alongside us, the John Davis put in disabled, with no less than three crews on board, picked up at sea. Had not the accident to the rudder occurred, placing us at the mercy of the winds and waves, the Great Eastern would have more than upheld her former prestige, as her great 'superiority is most shown when heading a stiff breeze and head sea, and her log bears favourable comparison with " the September and October passages" of any vessel afloat. Requesting your insertion of this note, I am, Sir, yours obediently, JAMES WALKER, Commander. Steamship Great Eastern, Milford Haven, Oct. 11. A new apprehension appears suddenly to have struck the cotton trade. They have hitherto relied unwillingly, it is true, but still relied, upon high prices attracting a supplY of Indian cotton to our shores, sufficient at least to save us from the horrors of a cotton famine. Surat is not the cot ton they like, and in whatever quantity it may come, they will still regret their shipments from the South, but brown bread is far better than starvation. But what if the cotton should not come after all, if high prices should for once lose their efficacy, if, in short, the difficulties of transit should prove absolutely insuperable at any price the dealers can profitably pay ? In that case, we should be reduced to the produce of the coast districts, and there are signs that three quarters of a million bales is the maximum quantity those districts can afford. It is an odd thing, we hear it re marked, that previous high prices should never have brought us the yield of new and untapped cotton-fields. We will not assert that we can answer all these questions peremptorily, or with the amplitude of information Lord Canning could secure upon the spot ; but we can, we believe, give an approximate estimate, and proofs of that estimate, sufficiently accurate to form a basis for reasonable calcula tion. The points to be settled are, we apprehend first, what price will attract cotton froin the interior in any quantity and with certainty of supply ? and secondly, will the means of carriage suffice for a demand wholly without precedent ? 1. The:district from which new cotton, i. e. cotton in excess of the coast supply, must come, may be most readily defined as Berar. Berar is not the only great cotton field, but it is the largest, the richest, the most centrical, and for many reasons the one which affords returns least favourable to buyers in Europe. It is, for example, as far from a port as a district in India can possibly be, is only partially under British rule, and is occupied by a comparatively untrained race of cultivators. The central depot of Berar is Hingun ghat, and at Hingunghat the price of packed cotton must be taken at 3d alb all round. Much lower figures aro some times given, but they are all, we believe, for unginned cot ton. Mr. Mackey gave 21c1 per lb as his estimate for Gaze rat, and we know of nothing which should make Borer cheaper. Wages also have increased more than 50 per cent. since his time, our taxation is heavier than the native, and we must allow for an excessive demand. Altogether the figure given in the official report for 1854-3 d. per lb. — must, we fear, till European buyers live on the spot, be ac cepted as accurate. This cotton generally travels by a fair weather road to Mirzapore, on the Ganges, at an expense estimated by Capt. Haig, the singularly able engineer of the Godavery, who, in 1856, predicted the very calamity which has occurred, and pointed out the means of remedying it, and who was in possession of all the information obtainable on the spot, at 80 rs. a ton. or in round figures Id. a lb. At Mirzapore the fibre is transferred to boats, and though the subsequent voyage to Calcutta adds but a fraction to the actual carriage, still the exposure, and the frightful propor tion of accidents—a proportion which has broken up the native insurance or bema system—adds at least another id. We have then to add Calcutta profit at 25 per cent., and freight t 3 England at £4 10s. a ton, and the account will then stand thus : Price of packed cotton Bullock carriage, 420 miles to Mirzapore Boat to Calcutta .. t !I Profit to merchant 1 „ Freight i per lb. 4 7) Total price on board ship Add the English importer's profit, and the enormous addi tion great pressure for carriage makes to the price of bul locks, and cotton from Berar is not, at less than 51d per lb. a very profitable article of import. As a matter of fact, we believe Calcutta dealers aro apt to look in times of pressure for 6d., a figure the Indian cotton has just touched. That price once secure, we believe Central and Southern India may be swept of its crop and its hoard ; the latter, we believe— and we are partly supported by Mr. Mackey—larger than is commonly supposed. The merchants must, however, be made tolerably secure, for the interval between the issue of the order in Calcutta and its fulfilment is at least ninety days—a long time to stand the chance of a breach in the American blockade. The money must go from England, for Calcutta has not the capital, and, besides, looks to quicker returns. 2, That price, then, we believe, on the best information we can collect—and Capt. Haig's is absolutely reliable — will suffice to bring all cotton now grown to England ; there remains the means of carriage, a point upon which no man alive can give an absolute opinion. But there is one broad fact patent to everybody, and that is, that whatever the crop, it does already go somewhere. The means which disperse it all over India will carry it to Mirzapore. Prices may rise, and drivers may grow contumacious, but we have allowed for their rising 200 per cent., and Indians knew their own interests. Government might in this matter do a good deal—its commissariat being accustomed to such little arrangements as preparing 15 miles of carriage to travel 200 miles ; and a strong hint to the magistracy to keep a horse patrol on the road, and flog every policeman who levied an illegal transit duty—i. e. every policeman on the line, un less watched—would do yet more. There may still be diffi culty, but not, we believe, greater than would cause a delay of perhaps two months in the regular despatch of the crop. It is not the conveyance of masses of goods, but the time taken in conveying them, which puzzles Indian speculators, and the area over which export would extend is equal to a good many Irelands full of flourishing and bullock keeping villages. The quantity obtainable has still to be ascertained, and upon this point all assertions, except one, must be mere guesswork. The exception is this, that the minimum pro duce of India is always sufficient to export to England and China 600,000 bales, without sensibly affecting the regular supply left to clothe two hundred millions of natives. The supply is a good deal more scattered than can be pleasant to dealers, but there are no provinces so far from available water communication as Berar—though the Godavery in American hands would be a thronged highway—and for whatever cotton there is, the native certainly cannot, and for one year will not, compete with his English rival. In deed one reflex consequence of a real pressure for cotton in India would be an enormous increase on the demand for the English manufactured article, and the development of a trade which contains possibilities that might startle even Manchester. There is one little certainty connected with Indian commerce which to us has always seemed to bear slightly on the condition of England, and it is this : If India took head forhead the amount of British goods, which Ceylon takes head for head, our export trade to India alone would be 300 millions sterling, or greater than our exist ing export trade with all the world. There is no difference of soil, climate, population, or anything else, except that Ceylon was never under the company, that English and Roman laws make life and property tolerably secure, and that the island is owned by British settlers.—Spectator. DEATH OF MAJOR SIBTHORP, M.P.—We regret to announce the death of Major Sibthorp, M.P. for Lin coln. The hon. and gallant gentleman died suddenly yes terday, and fell into the arms of Mr. Beresford Hope, with whom he was conversing.

Caroline Lock pleaded guilty to an indictment charging her with stealing a number of articles of wearing apparel, the property of Mr. Newton, of Gower street. The Judge said he should like to know something about the prisoner. Mr. Newton said she had been in his service for some time, and was looked upon as a trustworthy person. Her wages, he thought, were about £l4 a year, and she had money in the savings bank, so he did not think it could be want that had driven her to commit the robbery. She, however, he believed, was about to be married, and perhaps such a circumstance might have induced her to take the things. The mother of the prisoner, a widow, said the prisoner was her daughter, and was the eldest but one of ten chil dren, five of whom she had with her at home. Sho could not account for her child robbing her master, but she asked the Court to deal mercifully with her child, who had hitherto borne an honest and upright character. The learned Judge said it was a very melancholy case. The prisoner, in the possession of a good character, had gained the confidence of her master and mistress, and after that had so far forgotten herself as to rob them. He could not but think that the idea of marriage had induced the prisoner to steal the articles. Her conduct in admitting a young man to her master's house after he had retired to rest was highly censurable, for it was by such acts houses were too frequently robbed. In this case, however, it appeared the person admitted was a respectable man, but he could not but think it was highly improper for him to visit the house at such a time. He would, in the present instance, inflict a very lenient sentence on the prisoner, as he had been in formed that immediately she came out of prison she would quit London for the country, where he hoped she would conduct herself in such a way as to regain the character she had now to a certain extent lost. The sentence of the court was that she be imprisoned in the House of Correction for two calender months. Margaret Mackenzie was found guilty of stealing a shawl and other articles from her landlady. Police-constable 16 D said the prisoner was a most dangerous and ungrateful thief, she had been repeatedly in prison. The judge sentenced her to three years' penal servitude. SECOND COURT. (Before Mr. Payne.) Two men, named Hawkins and Scott, were indicted for stealing a bag of rags, value 18s., the property of the employer of Hawkins. The jury found both prisoners guilty. The Judge sentenced Hawkins to nine, and Scott to 18 months' imprisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(I7iis Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ANOTHER DOG STEALING CASE.—A crossing-sweeper, named Thomas Lucas, was charged, before Mr. Beadon, with knowingly and corruptly receiving the sum of 10s. from Mr. Marcus Amor, jun., of 135, New Bond-street, for recovering a dog, his property, the dog having been stolen. It appeared that about five weeks ago Mr. Amor lost his dog, and the prisoner came to him and said he knew where it was, and the man who had got it. Mr. Amor told the prisoner he would give him ss. for his trouble if he got the dog back, and the prisoner left, but returned and said the who yin us h t a n d a v g e o o i s t s a i d e they e w t o h ul e d p r r i a s t o h n e e r r kill lo s i . t : and personst hat the he brought the dog back. Prisoner made a rambling defence, showing that he was well acquainted with the dog stealing fraternity. He, how ever, denied all knowledge of the way the dog got to Shore ditch, where he found it: Mr. Beadon said the prisoner's conduct proved that he well knew the dog stealers; and it was strange if, as he pretended, he knew nothing of the dog that he should be able to go to the man who had it. Butcher, 137 C, who recently captured a dog-receiver of the name of Kendilton, and who now awaits his trial, asked for a remand, which was granted. THE REASON WHY. —T wo rough looking fellows named Wm. Waling and John M'Alister, who had evidently given each other a severe mawling, wore charged with \ being drunk and fighting. Mr. Beadon—Why do you get drunk, and then fight? One of the Defendants—We had not seen ono another for a long time, and we met, got drunk, and then had a fight. (Laughter.) Mr. Beadon discharged them with a caution. VHS Reins' MARKETS. HAY MARKETS. SMITHFIELD.—Meadow hay, £2 Os to £5 Os Od ; Clover do., £3 lOs to £6 Os; and straw, £1 8s to £1 l6s per load.

SUGAR.—For good and fine grocery qualities there is an active demand at full rates, and in the refined market a steady business has been done at fully previous quotations. COFFEE.—There has been a fair demand for home con sumption, and good and fine descriptions of Plantation Ceylon have sold readily at previous prices ; other qualities remain without any change. ItteE.—The dealings have been to an average extent, and late values have been well maintained. SALTPETRE. —Only limited transactions have been entered into, and no changes can be reported in prices.

THE LATE VISCOUNT FORTH AND MRS. LLOYD. —A paragraph, copied into our columns yesterday from the Bristol Mercury, headed " A Sad Story," was, we are in formed by Captain Lloyd, inaccurate in that portion which related to him. Captain Lloyd states that on his marriage the lady was only 19. She had not had any children, and no scandal had attached to her name. Ho obtained no pe cuniary benefit or assistance from the marriage ; indeed, the settlement made by his father was, he states, far larger than that on her side. Lord Forth met Mrs. Lloyd last year after the proceedings in the Divorce Court, and not as stated, in the Queen's Bench, Shared 100 stk t 18 204 204 10 100 t 100 100 17i 20 stock 100 100 100 stock 100 100 "ilOO stock stock 100 100 100 stock stock stock ;took Itockl stock 'lOO 15 all 100 1 FOREIGN RAIL Algerian Antwerp t Rotterdam.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. MONDAY. The opening of the meeting certainly disappointed ex pectation. Although the morning trains brought a large accession of visitors from London and the north, the atten dance on the heath was not so numerous as that on the first day of the First October Meeting. The card, indeed, possessed very few attractions either for the genuine betting man or the less interested lover of racing. Originally ten events were appointed for decision, but of these four were compromised. The Handicap Plate was therefore the only item of interest which the card contained, and the race for it excited considerable curiosity, from the fact of the "trial horses" of nearly all the leading favourites of the Cesare witch being amongst the competitors. Thus the figure made by the " performers " was watched with much inte rest. Sir William, as was anticipated, threw some light on the chance of Paste, whilst the positions held in the betting by Calpe, Asteroid, the Giraffe filly, La Vapeur, and Rap parec were affected by the running of their respective stable companions, Chere Arnie, Moorhen, King of Diamonds, Mdlle. de Chantilly, and Weazel. The rase, it will be seen, was won by Chere Amie, who is trained in the same stable with Calpe. More pleasant weather could scarcely have been desired ; the atmosphere was bright and warm, and despite the meagre supply of sport, the afternoon on the heath was thoroughly enjoyed. The movements relative to the Cesarewitch are described at the foot of the subjoined re turn of the racing. Handicap Sweepstakes of 20 sovs each for 3-yr-olds and upwards. T .Y.O .

The first piece performed was a farce, entitled "A Cozy Couple," in which Mr. and Mrs. F. Mathews made their appearance, and were most warmly welcomed. " The Scrap of Paper," which fol lowed, is a very recent novelty, and full justice was done last season to the excellence of the cast and the general good taste and feeling with which the details of this charming comedy were carried out. Mr. and Mrs. Wigan, who played of course their old parts, were received last night with every demonstration of public cordiality. Miss Herbert, with Messrs. Ashley, Belmore, and Dewar, and, indeed, the whole of the per formers, can have no reason to complain of their reception. At the close of the comedy Mr. and Mrs, Wigan were loudly called for, and bowed their acknowledgments when the curtain was raised for the purpose. Miss Herbert also was complimented by a call, and was led across the stage in the front of the curtain by Mr. Dewar. The farce of " Done on Both Sides," in which the principal parts were performed by Mr. G. Vining,lllr. Frank Matthews, Mrs. Frank Matthews, and Miss Moore, concluded the evening's entertainments. Mr. J. Robins also made his appearance last evening in the broadly humorous character of Pigmalion Phibbs, in the farce—a part well suited to his quiet humour. By the additions that have been made to it the company have gained strength, and the amount of talent now engaged in this theatre will readily be tested should any old stock drama, or any new one with a strong caste, be broughatnoaut. fashion able w h o le performances were characterised by a high degr ee o f finish. The house was filled with a numerous audience. PRINCE LEOPOLD.—W e believe that his Royal Highness Prince Leopold will riot pass the ensuing winter in Southern Italy, as was originally intended.
