NEWMARKET RACES.—(This Day.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) CRITERION STAKES. Deechnut.. Sydney .. Drumour... Seven ian. Woa easy. BETTING ON THE COURSE. CAMBRIDGESHIRE. Bto 1 agst Eloquence (taken) MON E Y MARKET AND COMME - ROIA' INTELLIGENCI.,_ CITY, Two o'( The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed quietly, but firmly, and, compared with Friday's rates, prices of all kinds were unchanged. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales-1,000 for ex- Port, and 3,000 on speculation. The Railway Share Market was quiet. The weekly commercial report from Paris states that trade generally continues to suffer from the difficulty of obtaining discounts at the Bank of Prance, chiefly amongst the manufacturers and Wholesale houses. The retail dealers who had be gan to lay in their winter stocks have restricted their orders until the Bank resume their ordinary rates of discount. Business is entirely confined to the demand for present consumption, and all specu lative purchases are suspended. Since the com mencement of the month the manufacturers have received very few orders for exportation ; apparently the monetary crisis has checked all operations of this kind. Theadvicesfrons the provincial manufacturers report a general dullness in business. Buyers of silk and cotton goodsh tve been veryscarce at Lyons and Mulhouse ; and also at Amiens, Rheims, and Rou baise. The prices of the finer qualities of silk and woollen fabrics is well maintained, and there is not Much probability of the manufacturers reducing them, for the high wages given to the workmen, and the dearness of the raw materials, leave them very small profits. At Lyons and St. Stephen the demand for silk fabrics continues active, but the looms are not fully employed on account of the S carcity of raw material. The official returns relative 4o the trade and na 'ligation of the United Kingdom for the month ending the 30th ult. have been presented this elorning. Considering the dearness of money and the quiet state of business, the results exhibited are exceediugly satisfactory. The declared value of all the exports is 10,216,671/. against 9,072,6591. in the same month of 1855, showing an increased export trade to the extent of 1,144,0121. The au gmentation is apparent in the following articles, 112 .) cotton yarn, cotton manufactures, haber dashery and millinery, hardwares and cutlery, li nen manufactures and woollen and worsted / a ril. The month's imports were larger of gOll l, barley, flour, raw cotton, cochineal, flax, currants, rice, saltpetre, raw silk, cassia bgnea, cloves, brandy, geneva, tea, and wine, but there was a decrease in the receipts of cocoa, coffee, Indigo, mahogany, And tobacco. The shipping accounts show that a much larger tonnage of vessels Itas employed in the foreign trade as compared with 185 5, and the same remark will ale() apply to the coasting trade. A rather uneasy feeling has been produced by the announcement of a resumption of specie with drawals from the Bank of England, a small quan tity having been sent away on Saturday for the Continent. Unless large arrivals take place from America and Australia, it is feared that the item of bullion in the Bank vaults will further decline to a serious extent. The James Baines is hourly expected, however, with a large quantity of gold, and the Africa, from New York, has been an nounced this morning with $794,600 in specie. The English Funds are rather heavy this morn ing, a lull having succeeded the activity which cha racterised the market throughout last week. As an improvement of about per cent. then took place, some of the speculators are tempted to realise their Profits and to their opera - ions may be ascribed acme of the weakness which now prevails. Con sole for transfer have been 92i- , and 92i 4. For the 6th proximo, the bargains have been at 92- i - I, 92# and 924 i• Bank Stock is steady at 213. Exchequer Bills, are 2s. to ss. premium, and the Bonds 984. In the Foreign market very few bargains have been recorded, and the quotations are generally rather flat. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 881 to 89k, b eing almo s t l ower, an d th e 4 per Cents. rule heavy at 92l Spanish Committees Certificates are marked N, Peruvian 3 per Cents. have been 76 it the Do. 3 per Cents., 54k, and the Dutch 24 Per Cents. 631.

In several instances the reaction is kto but, except in one or two of ~.t h e favourit e li nes , th e t ransact i ons are limited. The Foreign and Colonial are very quiet, at almost Previous values. Rigas are a shade weaker, being premiu:n. Mines and Miscellaneous Shares aro inactive, but in Banks a few dealings have been recorded at pre vious rates.

"Is there anything fresh ?" is the question which one person puts to another as they walk in the street, and invariably an answer in the negative is returned. There is really no news to cornmuni ate. Eloquence is at pre sent the " coming horse" for the Cambridgeshire. Shs has been most satisfactorily tried, and with the same animal that was " put through the mill" with Vengeance prior to the Cesarewitch. " The Admiral" is too shrewd a tactio'ar, and has had too much experience on the turf to make a mistake, and I believe be entertains a high opinion of Eloquence's chance. The Bedford running would, too, justify, to a certain extent, the fondness with which the mare is regarded ; still I con sider her formidable, albeit many persons deem her somewhat too small to enable her to sustain with succes • so severe a rase as that which will take place for the Cambridgeshire. Not withstanding.the demonstrations which have been made in favour of Coup de Main, Eloquence, and others, and despite the reports which have been circu lated about the horse's having of late done no work, Vengeance maintains his ground in the market with wooderful firmness. From ocular demonstration I can testify that so far as looks are concerned no horse in the world can be better than Vengeance, and should he keep well I skall be fully prepared to see him achieve the double event. His most dangerous opponents will be Pole Star and Eloquence. Vengeance was always considered better than Pole Star, and the estimate which was formed of their relative merits by their late trainer is, I think, correct. Malacca has a nasty fighting action, but still, according to the Cesarewitch running, he must obtain a forward position at the finish. Coup de Main—or "Lord Derby's horse," as be is called by those who wish to get over the difficulties of pronunciation—is in conside rable demand. I have been informed that before the Ascot Meeting he was tried with Forbidden Fruit at even weights, and was only beaten by a head. Now, if this trial was correct, and if Coup . de Main only ran at York to " gammon" the people, he must have a most formidable chance. Still, if I recollect aright, he was paraded about the streets of Doncaster, and was put up by auction, but nobody would bid forty guineas for him ! Still there are people who own that his race with Fisherman, his subsequent performance for the Selling Race, and his attempted sale, were a part of a plot, but I believe that, although Jack Nokes or Tom Stiles might (endeavour to deceive the public in his manner, I do not think that Lord Derby would lend himself to so mean and paltry an artifice. Coup de Main I know once possessed some form which he lost, but be may have neverthless regained it. Alma has been backed on the strength of her Kelso performance, but I will have " none of her." Poacher is an old 'un, whose light weight is his only recommendation. Hos pitality ought to run well, if he be the Hospitality that beat Fisherman so easily for the City and Suburban Handicap. Merlin I do not understand, but I do not think he could win on his merits. Of the old 'uns I prefer Hungerford, but I have nu expectation of seeing him land the " Baron's colours" in triumph. I shall not unnecessarily occupy space by referring to the other horses likely to comprise the field, which will, in all probability, number upwards of thirty starters. Taking the Cesarewitch running as my guide, and be lieving that no mistake has been made with reference to Eloquence's trial, I shall select VENGEANCE AND ELOQUENCE against the field ; but, in their default, either POLE STAR Or COUP DE MAIN will pull through. Two gentlemen, desirous of inhaling the fresh breerss on the heath, bent their steps on Saturday towards the " turn of the lands," and unfortunately came upo n a "trial party," and were just time enough to see the result. Great indignation was expressed at their intru sion, which was, of course, merely the result of accident. It is said that one of the horses in the trial carried so heavy a saddle, and so much weight, that saddle and saddle-cloths were conveyed to and from the course by a waggon and horses I The minor events I shall not touch upon, but should opportunity serve I may send some rough notes on the doings for publication in the course of the week. A FRESH MAN. Monday Morning, eight o'clock a.m. TATTE RSALL'S -SATURDAT. The business of comparing on the " Cambridgeshire" drew together a tolerable number of subscribers. Specu lation on this event was, however, somewhat limited. Vengeance, Pole Star, and Coup de Main still occupied the foremost positions, at the prices quoted on Thursday, although Pole Star had the cs,ll of Lord Derby's horse at the close. Merlin was in some request, at 12 to 1, and Eloquence, who came with great force into the "city market" on the preoeding evening, was backed at 100 to 7 and 14 to 1, and 13 to 1 was the final offer against her. The Poacher was frequently inquired after, and Alma, on the strength of her Kelso performance, advanced to 16 to 1, taken. The other transactions were unimpor tant. CLOSING PRICES.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner G - oulburn.) IN BE C. VENABLES, JUNIOR-JUDGMENT. This bankrupt was described ao of Clifton, Taplow, paper manufacturer, and applied last week for his certi ficate, when arguments were urged at great length. His Honour tow gave judgment, and said that on the one hand it had been urged that the bankrupt was enti tled to the favourable consideration of the C ourt, and to a certificate of the highest class. He had given it hiv best consideration, and was sorry to say he could not bring his mind to that conclusion. His Honour, how ever, said that as to the charge of fraud, by obtaining goods from a Mr. Collins, just before his bankruptcy, he considered it to have been hastily brought, and there was not the slightest pretence for it. The only question, therefore, was the class of certificate, and looking at the conduct of the bankrupt since his bankruptcy, and it had been exemplary, and there was much to commend, as he had made overy exertion for the benefit of his creditors ; he was therefore en tiled to an immediate certificate of the second class. His books had been kept with great regularity and propriety, but, unfortunately, when be became involved, be en- deavoured to keep on by resorting to accommodation bills, and it was this that prevented him receiving a certificate of the first class. K ra% NE wrS.—f This 1:: ay CORN EXCHANGE The country mar:ets held on Saturday were but mode rately supplied with wheat, the conditioz I of which was by no means first-rate. All kinds move( 1 off slowly, and prices were in favour of buyers. Barley ra oved o ff h eav il y ; but most other grain supported previous rates. The continental markets are rather d' all, yet very little change has taken place in the quotat ions. From the United States largo quantities of whea I and maize con tinue to be shipped to England. Up to our market last week the ar rivals of English produce were small. The imports from a broad were 23,714 quarters of wheat, 1,584 barley, 28,290 o ats, 145 beans, 279 peas, 1,512 linseed, 1,187 rapeseed, 90:.? sundry seeds, 481 sacks, and 3,752 barrels of flour. The supply of English wheat received fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise, from Essex, Kent, &c., was limited, but there was a decided improven tent in its gene ral condition. By land carriage the receip is were trifling, and the show of samples of both red and white was small. The attendance of town and country buyers was far more numerous. Selected samples changed hands at last Mon prices, but there was no activity in the demand for them. Inferior qualities moved off slowliy, at a decline in the quotations of from is to 2s a quarter. There was a full average display of for dgn wheat, fresh as well as ex-granary. Importers were v ery firm in their demands, and an average business was p Lasing in medium qualities, at full quotations. Floating cargoes were firm, but not dearer. Fine barley ruled steady, and prices were firmly sup ported. In grinding and distilling sorts only moderate sales took place ? on former terms. We had a fair inquiry for malt, at. very full prices. The supplies of Irish and foreign oats being liberal, the oat trade was dull, and prices were 6d. per quarter lower than on Monday last. Beans were in short supply, and steady request at fa quotations. Peas sold to a moderate extent at late rates. Fine flour realised fall quotations. Country markets, including American, were steady. IN RR DURRANT. This bankrupt was described as of New Oxford-street, boot and shoe maker, and today passed his examination on accounts, prepared by Messrs. Paul and Turner.

To day a petition in bankruptcy was opened against this well-known lady and her partner, Mr. Thos. Day, and on which they were adjudicated bankrupt, and sur rendered in the usual manner. They are described, " Tavistock-street, provision-merchants, &c." Protec- tion was granted. ACCIDENT TO MADAME SEACOLE.—Madame Seacole appeared with her face bound up, having met with rather a serious injury, in consequer.ce of an omnibus in which she was riding yesterday tilting over, and she and several other persons were thrown on the side ; her face was cut and her arm injured, and others also suffered. It was somewhat singular that when she was got out she was instantly recognised by an officer and some of the Crimean heroes, who at once offered their services, and abused the driver for what they considered his careless- nev. CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.) The October sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning at the Old Bailey, before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Alderman Finnis (Lord Mayor elect), Alderman Sir J. Musgrove, Alderman Sir F. G. Moon, Alderman Kennedy, Alder man Hale; Sheriff.; Mechi and Keates, and Under sheriffs Crossley and Anderton. The Recorder in charging the grand jury, said he re gretted to find that the printed calendar was in point of numbers unusually heavy, and that he could not hold out to them'tbat their labours were likely to be light. The number of prisoners in the calendar amounted to 161, which in all probability would be increased by the num ber committed on the first two days of the session to 180 or 200. He was unable to suggest any particular cause for this increase of numbers, and he was inclined to attribute it to accidental causes rather than an indi cation of an average increase of crime. The calendar though heavy in number was not so in the character of the offences. There was one charge of murder and one of manslaughter. There were comparatively few cases on the calendar involving charges of either destruction of life or severe injury to the person, but there was a con siderable number of charges of burglary. These charges were generally more numerous at this season of the year than in summer, from the long nights affording facilities fur their perpetration ; and they also increased in spite of the severity with which the perpetrators were treated in that court when charges were distinctly proved against them. He regretted much to find that larceny by ser vants, whose duty it was to protect the property of their employers, did not decrease. The charge of murder in the calendar was one of a peculiar character, and was a charge of murder against a husband, arising from the death of his wife from taking medicine to procure abor tion. The learned judge then detaqed the circumstances of the case, which, it will be recollected, occurred a few days since at Hackney, and said that he feared there would be a difficulty in proving the charge of murder, and tbat'a legal difficulty existed in convict ing the prisoner of being an accessory before the fact. He advised them to well attend to the evidence, and, if it did not warrant them returning a bill for murder, to return a bill charging the husband as an accessory before the fact, in order that the statutes on this point, which it was feared were defective, might undergo revision. After referring to other cases in the calendar, the learned Judge said that the case of Robson was one that had created much attention, from the nature of the charge and the prisoner's connection with the Crystal Palace Company. The prisoner was charged with two offences —one for stealing a number of certificates of shares, the property of his employers, and the other with having forged the name of a person to a transfer of shares. If the prisoner forged the name it was an indictable of fence ; and if he dealt with the certificates entrusted to him by his employers, either by selling them, obtaining money on them, or giving them to a friend to obtain a loan of money on them, it was in either case a dealing with the property of his employers, and amounted to larceny. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day). SOUTHWARK. THE ATTEMPTED MURDER IN BERMONDSEY.—RiChard Burchell, Abraham Burchell, and Patrick Ryan, were placed at the bar before Mr. Seeker, charged with at tempting to murder Patrick Griffin, who is nuw lying in a precarious state in Gay's Hospital. Mr. Salomon appeared for the prisoners. John Griffin, a young man, about twenty-two, said he was a labourer, and resided in Brown's-place, Grange road. His brother, Patrick Griffin, came from the other side of the water to see him on Saturday night. That was about 9 o'clock. And they went to a beer-shop close by. They remained there a short time, when he told his brother that Richard Burchell had severely beaten him about five weeks ago. His brother said if he had been by his side at the time he should have served him out, and if he saw Richard Burchell he would not be pleased with him. They went out of the beer shop about half-past 9, and proceeded to Richard Burchell's house. Witness pushed the door open and called him, saying, " his brother was there and would see him righted." Richard then came out, took up a brick, and threw it at his head, striking him on the side of the left eye, which caused him to fall down. Abraham Burchell then came up and kicked witness while on the ground. Toe wife of Richard, who was inside the house, called out, " Stick them I stick them !" Witness was then pulled by the legs, and on getting up he saw his brother and the man who is now in the hospital lying near the palings. He thought he was dead, and he fell on him and kissed him. Witness was at that time covered with blood from the wound on the side of his head, and he was then taken away to a doctor's, where his wounds were dressed. His bro ther was left behind. He did not see any blood or marks of violence on his brother, neither did he see any violence offered to him. In cross-examination by Mr. Salomon, witness said that before they went to the beer shop they called on Mr. Magnahan, where witness lodged, and told him they were going to Burchell's to settle a dispute. Magnahan told them not to go. When he was at tacked at Burchell's a great crowd had collected, so that he could not see what they did to his brother. George Ansel', a lad employed at a greengrocer's in Forth-street, Bermondsey, said he saw the two Griffins in the beer shop at half-past 8 on Saturday evening. They appeared to be under the influence of beer. About half-past 9 witness was in the garden adjoining Richard Burchell's, when he saw the latter kick Patrick Griffin, the injured man, with the heel of his boot several times. Ryan also kicked him, and witness saw Abraham Burchell beating last witness. Witness thought they had killed Patrick Griffin, but he did not see any knife or sharp instrument used. Richard Burchell went into his house, while Patrick Griffin was on the ground, and fetched a pair of bellows which he struck him over the nose with. He did not see either of the Griffins strike any one. _ Sergeant Coleman, 23 M, produced a certificate from the surgeon of Guy's Hospital, setting forth that Patrick Griffin, the injured man, was in a very dangerous state, Superintendent Bramford hero asked for a remand, when his worship asked whether the man was likely to live. The superintendent replied that he was not. Mr. Seeker, after reading over the deposition taken in the hospital, remanded the prisoner until to-morrow week, CURRENCY PER 151.

About 1,000 Irish sheep were in the market, and the supplies of most English breeds were on the increase. Their general condition, however, was by no means first rate. The mutton trade was in a sluggish Rate, but we have no change to notice in prices. The top figure for Downs was bs per 81bs. _ Calves were in very moderate supply and fair request, at last Friday's decline in value. There was a steady demand for pigs at very full prices.

The Quarterly Review. No. CXCVIII. The eight articles in the new number of the Quarterly Review, just p u bli s h e d , may b e very eadily characterised. They a re so o b v i ous ( eac h of them) in des i gn, and so definite and restricted (all of them, without exception), in b ear i ng . Th e drst is literary, in relation to " B acon ' s E ssays. " The second historical, in regard to "French Al geria." The third ecclesiasti ca l, i n reference to . " Church Building." The fourth bi ograph i cal, in illusion to " Montaigne." The fifth topographi cal, in the matter of " Ancient Rome." Th e sixth physiological, and at the same time physionomi ca l, n regard to the " Human Form. " The sev en th psychological, and in some sort controversial, in relation ,to " The Nans of Port Royal." Th e eighth at once political and lachrymose, in reference to what is here pathetically termed the "Declin ing Efficiency of Parliament." A rather formid tble comparison might have been provoked by the subject -matter of the introductory paper, a com parison of it, that is to say, with one of the most splendid of the critical and biographical Essays of Mr. Macaulay (originally published like the rest of that great writer's Essays in the pages of the Edinburgh), but that the review before us in the Quarterly is avowedly one having relation merely o a fractional part of the writings of the most glorions of the Lord High Chancellors of England, and one of the noblest of the world's philosophers. Archbishop Whately's annotated edition of "Ba con's Essays" is the recently completed reissue of those wisesaws, epigramsand apophthegms, afford ing to the writer a plea for his argument, a peg upon which to hang up the garland of his admiration. It is judiciously confessed by the reviewer that the great phi'osophical essayist's intention in regard to these samesketches, namely, that of rendering them "as grains of salt, which should rather give an Appetite than offend with satiety," has been to the toll attained. And, even more, it is added, hat their author's confident anticipation of their eaduring fame and popularity has been completely justified, the anticipation expressed by tim when he avowed his belief that they would •‘ last as long as books and letters endured." The Article on " French Algeria " passes under review the miscellaneous volumes of M. Burbrugger on certain local " Roman Antiquities," of M. Renior upon certain local " Roman Inscriptions," of Dr. Shay.- in regard to his " Travels and Observations," of Mr. Sumner in reference to " White Slavery," of the Poet Campbell in the matter of his Letters from the South," of Herr Rellstab i under the title of " Algier and Paris n Jahra, 1830," of Lady Duff Gordon under that of " The . French in Algiers," of M. Poujoulat, of Dawson Barrer, of General Daumas, of J. Barbier, of Jules Gerard (the " Lion Killer"), and of the Count de Castellane—not forgetting the " Scientific Explora tion " instituted in 1840, 1841, and 1842 by order of Louis Philippe's Government, or a curious Latin ffork, in nine ',rooks, delineative of Africa and printed in 1509, or (by a very great deal the most nteresting of all these illustrative volumes to us Englishmen) Mr. A. Salome's Narrative (published in 1819 at London) of the famous expedition to Algiers made, gloriously and successfully made, two years previously by the British Fleet, under the command of Admiral the Right Hon. the Lord Viscount Exmouth. Due mention, is of course, made in this contribution, descriptive of French Africa, of the numerous gallant Soldiers of Gaul who have achieved a reputation for ' themselves at the point of their keen swords in the African conquests of the armies of the French Government. Bugeaud, who won a Puke's coronet at Isly, and a Marshal's baton-in Kabylia—Bedeau, who was wounded in the streets Jf Paris in the year of 1848, two days before the good Archbishop Denis Affre was infamously assassinated Cavaignac, who for six months governed France with the irresponsible power of a Dictator—Oudinot, who in 1849 besieged and conquered Rome then held by the "Reds" under Alazzini and Garibaldi—Lamoriciere, who, in 1851, upon the memorable 2d of December, was seized in ilis bed by the Prtetorian Guards of the Prince President, afterwards Cie Errpe:orNapoleon changarhic:r, who suffered in the same ignomini ous manner the punishment due to a conspirator —Baraguay di Billiers, who conducted 10,000 men into the ,Baltic three years later, and gained the highest prize within the reach of a soldier of fortune, the bauble-baton of an Imperial Nlarshal, at Bomarsund Saint Arnaud, who won his baton in the daring and triumphant coup d'etat of Louis Napoleon, and who afterwards lied the glorious ,death of a hero two nights after the battle of the Alma, when to the sound of the gun and the trumpet, the great French Marshal was held upright in his saddle (dying) by two of his dragoons, serenely directing the legions of Gaul upon the all but impregnable position occupied by the Russian forces under Prince Menschikoff. Besides these celebrat 3d African generals three others hardly less renowned—Canrobert, the preux chevalier of the late sanguinary conflict in Crim Tartary—Bosquet, Lhe heroic leader of the indomitable corps of the Zouaves—and lastly, the terrible Pelissier, noted arst of all as the Arab-smoker, and secondly as the Due do Malakhoff ! Marshals of the Empire under Napoleon the Third all three of them, these last tuentioned—three of the most conspicuous Captains not merely of France, but of Christendom. The article on Michel Montaigne" relates to the two _ latest of his biographers M. Gran, and Dr. Fayen. That on "Ancient Rome " has been suggested by the paper descriptive of " Roma," in Dr. William Smith's inimitable " Classical Dictionary." The rest of the contributions be it said are of average ability, the most interesting of the number having reference to the " Physiognomy o f th e H uman Form," chiefly in relation to the " Human Face Divine." Cookery for Servants of All Work. By Mrs. War ren. Groornbridge and Sons, Paternoster-row. Mrs. Warren has conferred a real benefit on the class she professes to serve in this little volume. Cookery books, on the average, are destitute of the most important instructions to a noviciate in the N,rt, viz., as to whether the fish, meat, or vegetable under manipulation is to be put into hot or cold water, and as to the time it requires for' proper dressing. We have often observed that the greater the pretensions of the gastronomic volume) the more perplexing are the directions it contains ; and w e can only say that, with two or three guinea and half-guinea volumes at hand on this important and vital subject, we shall turn in preference to Mrs. Warren' s c h eap pamp h let whenever we a re in doubt as to the legitimate concoction of a custard pudding, or the perfect treatment of a. stewed steak.
