ONEY MARKET AND c.e,omrizaci4J., ThrI'ELLIGENCL. CITY, Two o'CLo::N The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, and prices of all descriptions were without any material change. The sales amounted to 5,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export, and 500 on speculation—comprising 4,000 Egyptian, 6id. to 7.1 d. ; 700 Surat, 4id. to ad ; and 100 Sea Islands, 11d. to Is. 2d per lb. The Railway Share Market closed quiet, with very few transac tions, and prices were a shade lower. Advices from Odessa of the 28th July state that the grain market there was firm ; partly in conse , quence of accounts from Marseilles, and partly from the bad weather which had continued for 20 days previously, during which it rained almost in cessantly, doing considerable damage to the crops in Southern Russia. From 25,000 to 30,000 tchetwerts of wheat changed hands at 10 to 11, silver roubles per tchetwert, which is considerably above the previous quotations. Great fault is found with the merchants at Odessa trusting to the advices from Marseilles, for the accounts from other markets in Western Europe predicted the fall which has since taken place. The average prices of wheat were as follows :- Ist quality 10i to 11i roubles per tchetwert ; San domirca 10 to 111- ; Bessarabia 10 to 10k. The stock on hand at the end of July was about 120,000 tchet. Letters from the Sea of Azoff pounced the firmness of the markets there, as the depots were not overstocked, and the results of the • ensuing crops in the surrounding country it was calculated would be below the average, while in the interior it would be a most abundant harvest. At Taganrog wheat was quoted 28 to 34 silver rou bles per 10 poods (3601b5. English) ; and superior qualities 31 to 33 roubles. Oleaginous grains are much in,request, and it is difficult to meet the de mand at Rostoff and Berdiansk. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have deferred the further consideration of the position of the Riga and Danneburg Railway Company until next Monday, when their de elsion, based upon the documents submitted to them, will probably be announced. Meanwhile the Directors, anxious to do all in their power to disabuse the public mind from the prejudice lat terly expressed, have resolved upon postponing the loan of V. per share from the 20th inst. to the Ist proximo, when the proceeds will be placed in the hands of the bankers of the company, as trustees, until a fullassurance can be given to the proprietors that the advantages set forth in the original prospec , tus will virtually be obtained from the undertaking. The Directors, and, consequently, the share= holders, have in some measure been misled ; but not to such an extent, it is asserted, as to seriously damage the prospects of the Company. What view the Committee of the Stock Exchange will take, however, it is impossible to predict ; and their decision, therefore, is awaited with great anxiety, especially by those who in the belief that 1 the shares offered a good medium of investment wore induced to purchase them at high rates of premium. The report of the Midland Railway Company for the half-year ending the 30th June has been issued, showing a disposable balance of 242,1971. 15s. VI. A dividend of 4 per cent, per annum is proposed on the 9,129,8681. 15s. 10d. Consolidated Stock. The Bank of England Directors, at their meeting to-day, have made no alteration in the minimum charge for discount accommodation. The English Funds were at per cent. decline at the commencement of business, but they have since become firmer, and the market appears to have an upward tendency. Exchequer Bills, which are marked 95., 10s., 125., and 13s. premium, have :been sold, to the extent of 5,0001., by the Government broker, who subsequently purchased 20,0001. or 30,000/.

The parties 20 in the gig were Mr. Henry Lyford (son of an eminent 100 medical practitioner at Winchester), and Mr. Edward 10 Day, a trainer at Codford, and stated to be the son of 10 0 the w e ll-k nown t ra i ner o f th at name. The nature of the i r injuries received by several children Las not yet been 25 ascertained, but more than one is in a dangerous state.

"My dear Parents,—Frem the recent terrible ac. counts that must have reacleed England prior to this, concerning the fearful loss of life and property to ship ping on this coast, of which, I am sorry to say, we have been victims, has, I fear, nit my account, left ycu in a state of the greatest anxiety. " However, although in a very weak and wretched condition, as you wer e a ssure d b y report that my life was spared, it must have spared you in a measure the anguish of those whose eons. and husbands were unfor tunately killed or drowned in the ill-feed Edina. "I will now 'proceed to give you a full account of a fearful shipwreck and loss of life, with the sufferings and wretched condition of the survivors. "We sailed from Newcastle, ail;-teed, on the 28th of February, 1856, with a crew of eight persons (my self included), for Rio Grande. Ne thing occa--red to impede - the progress of nee veyega in the nerthern hernisphr re, arid with fair •weathen by the 12th of May, we had got as far south ae 31.50, where we were surprised with a gale of wind froth S.S.E., which occasioned us to bring to oindeh a close-reefed main sail. The gale continued to increase stet , . lily, and up to Thursday the 15th had attained the' force of a hurricane, with a terrific sea ; to which •date at noon we had not met with c iarna g e. Finding by the lead that we had drifted into 18 fathoms of water, it was deemed expedient to set more sail, for the purpose of keeping, to windward. As no observations had been obtained for several days the position of the ship was not certain. Accordingly the close-reefed topsail was being got ready when, at 1 o'clock p.m., a heavy ground sea gathered to windward, and struck the ship with terrific violence, laying her on her beam-ends, and carrying away bowsprit, foremast, cook-house, boat's companion, bulwarks, and stanchions, fore and aft, with everything on deck —making a clean sweep. The mainsail was knocked to atoms, and five men fell with the foremast, two of whom were killed, whose bodies became entangled in the floating wreck, and were seen no more ; the remainder recovered the deck uninjured. The cook, poor old Andrew, was se verely jammed, his right leg, ribs, and head were broken. He was taken to the forecastle, where he remained in his bed till he was drowned. From the stanchions being all broken off in the coverin_e boards the water was ad mitted freely, and on account of the weight of wreck hanging to the mainmast and giving the ship a strong list it was advisable to relieve inr by cutting away the mainmast, which, after being severed with an axe, fell. The ship now righted, with about four feet of water in the well, with which she was so deep that the sea made a continual breach fore and at. The covering-boards were secured as well as practicable, and the seamen were lashed to the pumps. They endeavoured to keep her afloat. She must now have been 24 miles off the land, and dead on a lee shore. At about 4 o'clock p, m. the mate and second mate, while pumping, were struck by a heavy ground sea ; their ribs were broken, and the former, with a severe bruise in the foot, was carried below in a state of insensibility. The pumps were still plied by those who were uninjured; and about 5 p.m. I received a severe blow on the right leg by the chain cable, which gave me excessive pain, by the wound being so washed by salt water that I was compell e d t o abandon' the deck and seek shelter with the others in the forecastle. 5 30. It became dark, and a miserable night we had-to encounter. 9.30 p.m 'lt became evident, by the heavy Purr, that the ship was fast nearing the shore. We bad tried to clear away the bower cable; but as it was capsized in the locker, we had not strength to do so. I had hoped to have been enabled to ride her, but had I done so she would either have foundered or filled with water, as the mainmast, by towing alongside with the lee rigging, which could not he cut, had dragged out the chain bolts and beaten a hole through the stern. The heavy ground sea began to pour on board—the pumps were abandoned —and the poor fellows, with death before their eves, sought shelter with the disabled, in the forecastle, where they had not been but a few minutes before she struck the ground. She be gan now to beat violently —was thrown broadside to the beach, and heeled to seaward. Sea after sea commenced its work of destruction, and the water rose so fast over forecastle sheets that we bad to retire , when 'Lord have mercy upon us !' was so l emn l y and devoutly responded to by all • and about 10.30 p. m . we l e f t our only shelter for that of almost certain destruction. Lashed to the pawl-bit were five human beings--struggling for their very existence. The seas seemed to out-rival each other as they fell bodily over us, washing us repeatedly off our legs, and tearing our ship to pieces with awful violence. I remained with the rest for about two hours, till my strength began to give way. By this time the decks had floated off amidships the masts, or stumps rather, had floated out, and the ship was fast going to pieces. I re solved to try and swim ashore. Accordingly, I stripped myself of everything, said 'good bye' to my poor fellows, and plunged from the paul-bit into the boiling surf. With a small piece of wood, which I found while swim ming, I endeavoured to keep my bead above water, but the first sea knocked me over and over, and my piece of wood was lost. However, in the interval of another sea I recovered a larger and better piece, which I held on, and by the aid of which I happily succeeded in touching the bottom. I attempted to walk, but the under tow carried me again to seaward, and I had to swim away as fast as I could. Another sea sent me further in shore than before, and with the assistance of my piece of wood as a walking stick, stuck in the sand, I held on till the waters bad receded, and I found myself high and dry on a desolate beach, without a eouse or habitation to shelter me. I had been in the water 20 minutes. I fell on my knees and offered up a prayer to tho Almighty for my deliverance, and then retired to the back of a sand-hill for shelter, with which the coast abounds. I commenced with my hauls to dig a hole in the sand, where I laid myself. I had not been there long before vio lent shivers came over tee, and I was obliged to look out fora better place. I went down en the beach with the hope of finding something to cover my nakedness, but did not succeed. I felt dreadfully cell. However, I rolled up two headless flour barrels, built up a head to one with sand, and crept into them, when the nails so tore my flesh that it was with great difficulty I could get out again. I again went to the beach, and there found a barrel much larger and free of nails, with a head to it, and a ca=ile of brandy mcst full, only two bottles having been used, the spite of which I got out with my teeth, and had a good swig. I tried another, but from the spirit being above proof I could not swallow it, my mouth and throat were so much swollen. However, it stopped the shivering, and I rolled away my new cask, got into it, and slept till daylight. I got out at break of day and went to the beach, which was close by, in hopes of finding clothes, when a sorry scene presented itself. The gale was still raging with fearful violence— the beach, as far as the eye could reach, was strewed with fragments of broken wreck—the ship was reduced to a mere skeleton, and four poor souls were lashed in the same place, dragging out a miserable existence, the sea was washing over them head and ears, no assistance was near, and not the slightest hope of a rescue. I turned myself from the scene, and with stiffened limbs returned to my comfortless sandhill with sadness. On my way thither I found two pillows had come on shore. I pulled off the covers, washed off the sand, and laid them to dry. In the meantime I laid myself down and fell aeleep, under the influence of the sun. In about an hour I awoke, with a severe smarting pain all over my body, and found that it had so scorched me that I was the same as if I bad been whipped with stingingnettles. My pillow slips were now dry; I made boles for my head and arms and I put therm on, which sheltered me against the weather. Being winter here, it is considered very cold in the absence of the sun. I had now been 25 hours without as much as a covering for my body. On the 16th, at 10 o'clock a.m., lashed to a piece of wreck, the mate, through hunger and thirst, committed himself to the surf. After a severe struggle he happily succeeded in gaining the shore, but in an exhausted condition. I ran down to him, but it was some time before he recognised me ; on board they all thought I was drowned. • They had seen me on the beach in my nakedness, but concluded that I was a native. 'On his way to my sandhi!' he fell in with the brandy cask, out of which he drank a little and revived. He soon found fresh water, of which the coast abounds, which, with a little brandy, gave us a grateful beverage. Having two shirts, a pair of drawers, nod a pair of trousers on, he pulled oil' his inside shirt and gave me, which, in addition to my pillowcases, made me a little more comfortable than before. Night coming on, we, as well as we could, prepared our habitation, which consisted cf a headless water puncheon, a piece of tarpaulins, for a head, and the cabin hair cushion cut in two ; although wet it made a good bed. Huddled together we passed a far more comfortable night than before, and but for my sun-burnt pain I should have done very well. At about daylight on the 17th the boy, in consequence of the wind and sea having abated, succeeded in walking ashore, and after being on the wreck for 33 hours, he reported that on the 16th, just before dark, Charles Hancock, in attempting a land ing, was drowned alongside, and that John Hales died during that night in a state of dehrinni, finial . Cold, wet, hunger, and exposure, making a total of five lost out of eight. Hungry and miserable we now left this scene of desolation, and onward we crippled with the hope of finding some one to save us from starvation • a bottle of brandy and one of water, with four soaked and sanded biscuits, were all we c ilfected from the stores of the ship, and on we walked following the shore till dark, without seeing the vestige of an habitation. The mate, with his toes jammed and ribs broken, suffered severely. We halted at dark on the sand, partook of a little • brandy and water, and, huddled together, we again spent a long, cold, and miserable night. Some rain fell, which rendered our situation truly pitiful. We walked that day about ten miles, and on the following day dis• covered three men advancing, who proved to be Portu guese. •To them we made our wants known, and were treated most kindly. The master took us to his fishing hut, where we were supplied with coarse food, and we finally recovered in eight days, so as to be removed on to Rio Grande. In the mean time our benefactor took horse, and with my report rode 83 miles to Rio Grande, which he delivered to the consul. It was merely stat ing the wreck and lives saved, which he forwarded to England. The journey occupied six days. O e hi s re turn he provided a waggon and 14 oxen, and we were conveyed to Rio Grande, where, after receiving every kindness on the ro a d, we sa f e ly arrived. Ten ships were off the bar, prior to the gate, and ail lost. The sacrifice of human life was awful. The ship was a total wreck when we left, beams, topsides, and covering boards were ashore, and everything of service knocked to pieces. She lies 100 miles north of this place. "The following is a list of the crew who sailed with me :—James Morrie), mate, Starcrose ; Robert Alford, boy, Exeter, saved; Charles Hancock, 24, second mate, Kenton, drowned ; John Hales, 29, seaman, Topsham, died from exposure; Andrew Madge, 68, cook, Exeter; 'E.

The opening article is a review of the " Contemporary Greece " of Edmund About, and introduces to th e rea d er the principal results of the distinguished author's tour of observation.

The article altogether merits a careful perusal, throwing as it does both new and more vivid light on the present condition and prospects of Greece and the Greeks.

VISIT OP HER MAJESTY TO PLYMOUTH, PLYMOUTH, Aug. 13.—The officials at this port were yesterday astounded by the appearance of a signal from the Implacable, 72, Captain Arthur Lowe, lying in the Sound, announcing the appearance of the royal squadron off the port, and steering westward. It was not long before the royal yacht, followed by the other ships of the squadron, were seen. On entering the port the Impla cable, and Gorgon, 6, paddle, Commander Towsey, dressed ships, manned yards, and fired a royal salute. The gun-boats anchored within the Breakwater also "dressed ship." The royal standard was hoisted at the Citadel, and the customary salute fired, the royal yacht proceeding at a steady pace, followed by Fairy, Vivid, Black Eagle, and Trinity yacht, round the island to Barnpool. By this time the news had spread of her Ma jesty's arrival, and a large number of persons had assem bled under the Hoe and the Heights, who welcomed the royal visitors with loud cheering. When abreast of Mount Edgcumbc, in Barnpool, she lay to for a short time, and an exchange of signals took place with the fort at Mount Wise. The Victoria and Albert then pro ceeded into the harbour, followed by the vessels above referred to. As the royal yacht approached the har bour, the Impregnable, 104, Captain Wise, flag of Ad miral Sir Win. Parker, Commander-in-Chief, dressed, manned yards, and gave three cheers as the Victoria and Albert passed, and all the other ships in commission fired a royal salute. Subsequently a like salute was fired from Monnt Wise. The yacht anchored off the dockyard, and as she was at anchor Admiral Sir Wm. Parker, accompanied by Mr. Secretary Richards, and his Flag Lieutenant E. H. Howard, proceeded on board to pay his respects to her Majesty, as did also Rear-Admiral Sir J. H. Pluniridge, and Major-General Eden, accompanied by their respective staffs. The cap tains of the several ships in commission also paid their respects to the royal visitors. Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales subsequently visited Mount Edgeumbe, where they remained about an hour, when they returned to the yacht to luncheon. About half past three p.m. his Royal Highness Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales, accompanied by Captains Du Plat and Crispin, left the yacht for Keyham. Oa the arrival of their royal highnesses at the prin cipal landing place they were received by Admirals Sir Wm. Parker and Sir J. IL Plumridge, and their staffs, itc. The artisins discontinued work on the arrival of the Princes, and with the police lined the quays and loudly cheered the party as it passed. Prince Albert first visited the boiler-house, and all the new machinery recently erected ; from this he proceeded to the now buildings erected for foundery and smitheries. From this his royal highness proceeded to the dock in which the Himalaya is now undergoing repair. He next visited the tunnel, returning to the yard, and passed over the dock heads to the landing place. The heads of the several branches were present to give information, and his r.)yal highness appeared to take great interest in the establish ment and the progress of the works generally. About half-past 5 their royal highnesses re-embarked to return to the yacht. At this time a tremendous shower fell, but, aware of the treacherous character of the weather in the west country, a store of umbrellas had been pro vided, under which the party left the pier. At 6 o'clock Prince Albert, again accompanied by the Prince of Wales, landed at the Queen's steps, Mount Wise, where a guard of honour from the 54th Regiment received his royal highness, who proceeded to visit Major-General Eden, at Government House; from thence his royal highness proceeded to inspect the new (Brunswick) barracks. Here he was accompanied by General Eden and the military authorities. At the close of this inspection his royal highness again embarked at the Queen's steps, and returned to the yacht. It was first understood that her Majesty would not land, as she still felt the effects of sea sickness, from which she suffered severely in the passage from Dart mouth to this port, there being a head wind and a heavy chopping sea, in which the yacht rolled heavily. At 5 o'clock, however, her Majesty, accompanied by one of the princesses, and some of the ladies in attendance, left the yacht in the royal barge, steered by Captain the Hon. J. Denman, and proceeded to Mount Edgcumbe, where she was received by the Countess cf Mount Ecigcumbe, and remained for up wards of two hours. On her Majesty's re-embarking to return to the yacht, a royal salute was fired from the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe's private battery. Among the guests aw the royal dinner table last even ing were Admiral Sir W. Parker and Major-Gen. Eden. In the absence of her Majesty's private band, the band of the Royal Marines; under the direction of Mr. Win terbottom, was ordered on board the yacht in the even leg. — Should the weather prove fine to day (of which there is not now, 10 a.m., much prospect), it is said to be her Majesty's intention to proceed up the Tamar and visit Endsleigh, the seat of tire Duke of Bedford. The royal squadron left Dartmouth at 9 o'clock yes- terday morning, her Majesty having remained at that port from noon the preceding day. During the sojourn Prince Albert and the Prtncs of Wales proceeded up the Dart as far as Totnes, in the new river steamer Dart mouth. Her Majesty also made an excursion up the river in the royal barge, and in the evening landed at Dartmouth to proceed for a carriage ride round the neighbourhood. The previous night the royal squadron anchored off Portland, having left Cowes the same evening. PLYMOUTH, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Her Majesty the Queen, Prince Albert, the Royal Fa mily, and attendants, went up the river Tamar to-day, so tar as Cothele, in the Fairy, and from thence to the Weir Head, in the Gipay, Saltash . river s t eamer. T he royal party left th e roya l yac ht Victoria and Albert about ten in the forenoon and returned on board again about six in the evening. The band of the 54th Regiment are on board the royal yacht. Should the sea be calmer in the morning it is probable the royal yacht will leave this port. Richard Moore, 20, Topsham ; and James --, Dun dee, drowi ed.

INTENDED DINNER TO TEE BRIGADE OF GUARDS. TO TIM EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,--All Londoners highly approve of the dinner to their own brave garrison. But as the metropolis con tains a vast number of C:►ledonians, why not give, also, a dinner to the Highland Brigade, now stationed at Shorneclfffe ? A few Highlanders already spoken to have spontaneously agreed to contribute above 100/. for this laudable object; and to render this mark,of honour more acceptable to the brave, let numbers swell this tribute by their contributions. Three hours will carry from London-bridge all who may wish to be present. All that is required to give effect to this measure is that some active patriot make a move and call a general meeting, when, no doubt, the basis of accomplishing it will be effectually formed. The regiments there, under the command of Sir Colin Campbell, are the 42d, 79th, and 93d Highlanders, all of whom have been present from the landing at Eapatoria, in 1854, until the eva cußtion of the Crimea. An insertion of this will much oblige A SCOTCHMAN. THE AMERICAN MAILS.—SOUTBAMPTON, Aug. 13.

The attendance last night was the largest since the in auguration week, a n d a p parent l y the most musical. This, however, was not surprising, sinoe the concert was one of unusual excellence, and the whole-of the first part was devoted to compositions by Mendelssohn, whose name fur the English public generally has no rival in attraction, except that of Handel. It would seem that in a garden and in a theatre the spell is alike. Men delssohn's music, though refined and poetical in the highest degree, exercises a strong influence over the crowd, which with reasoning minds must be as convincing a proof of its geniality and intrinsic worth as those more special qualities which have obtained for it the admiration of musicians. At any rate we are glad to see M. Jullien pursuing the same policy at the Surrey-gardens which has met with such legitimate success in every one of his cis. pontine enterprises ; and it is equally gratifying to find in one district as in the other a public eager to support and able to appreciate what is healthy and good. The selection from Mendelssohn's works was made with great judjnent. It was not a bit too long, and yet comprised a rare variety of pieces— all, without ex ception, beautiful and masterly. The overture in C major, written for a military band, which began the con cert, was played for the first time before a London audi. ence. It is a spirited and charming work, and every where bears the familiar stamp of its composer. It was, moreover, capitally executed ; but at the same time we think the stringed basses (which are not in the score) added heaviness, rather than force, to the effect. M. Jullien's "model band" would have sufficed without annexations.. Of the symphony in A major (the " Italian")—given entire, and with remarkable correct ness and precision—it unnecessary to say more than that it was listened to by the enormous assembly with undeviating attention, and applauded in a manner which proved how heartily it had been enjoyed. The first move ment of the quintet in A for stringed instruments (per formed by M.M. Ket,tenus, Schreurs, Vieux temps, and another genlleman not named in the bills) was an experiment, which, considering the vast dimen sions of the music -hall, must be pronounced wonderfully successful. Nevertheless, a pianoforte would, we think, have been better in ? l ace , an d mere likely to be under stood, than such exclusive " niusica di camera" as this tranquil and melodious quintet—one of the works, by the way, in which Mendelssohn earliest declared the in• dependence and originality of his style. The chorus were employed upon two of the most tuneful of the part-songs-- "0 hills, 0 vales," and "The Vale of Rest,"—both of which were well sung, under the direction of Chorusnias ter Land, and the first encored. We recommend for the future that the orchestra should give the chord at the termination of each verse in these part-songs, in order to prevent the voices dropping towards the end—which they did last night in both instances more than a semitone. This would be preferable even to the association of a bassoon or violincello with the basses—an expedient frequently resorted to. The Mendelssobn selection came to a close with the mag nificent finale to th e un finished opera of " Lorely,' which was executed with great spirit—Madame Reidersdodreffvotseiangibngri,dein oaf very e artistic style, the music of the Rhine. After this performance the applause was enthu siastic, We u nderstand that, in consequence of the suc cess of the present essay, there will be another " Men delssohn night" on Wednesday next. The features of , the seoond p ar t were t h e Zouaves— who ip M. Jullien s new qu a d r ill e created the same sen sation as before; a duet, by K a lli wo d a , f or two F rench horns, skilfully executed by the Messieurs Stokel— two n ew members of M. Jullien's orchestra; and Bishop's graphic " Chough and Crow" (solos by Madame Riders- 'i dorf, Miss Kate Rance, and Herr Rokitansky), which was unanimously encored. The madrigals and glees seem to have obtained as much vogue here as at the Crystal Palace—at least if we may judge from an an nouncement that they are to be repeated every Friday. The first morning concert is fixed for the 23d instant. The prize Champion reaping machine may be seen at work during the whole harvest on Mr. Dray's farm, Farningharo, near Dartford, Kent. On Monday, the 18th inst., a public exhibition will take place (on the above farm) of the "Champion" and also the "Union" reaping machines.
