COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. RAIL I k 7 A 4ro„ CITY, Two Wet° , 'is The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed with much animation, and price s o f A mer i can de- 50 scriptions were a shade dearer. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by "I the exporters, and 3,000 by the speculators, corn- 27 prising GUO Egyptian, at 6W. to t*l ; 2,000 Surat, 4 2 , 41d. to sd. ; and GO Sea Islands, ls. to is. 9d. per tE lb. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and prices of the leading stocks were rather easier than : t. on Friday. 50 Accounts from Leipsic state that the autumn fair 5 0 which comm e n ce d on th e 20th u lt. h a d a tt rac t e d a 2020 larger attendance of foreigners than in former 10 years. A number of Turks and merchants from 1 5 1 0 - / the Danubian principalities were present, and 25 their purchases of winter goods had been numerous. St. ( There was an a b sence , h owe v er , o f severa l o f the St.) American purchasers who usually attended. st. Commercial advices from Paris state that the 2 3 5 6 raising of the rate of discount by the Bank of , st : France bad produ ce d mu c h ac ti v it y i n a ll branches t of trade. The retail e r s , h owever , are s till reserved st 10 . in their pUrchases, and restrict themselves to sup. 10 plying their immediate wants. At the same time there is every appearance of a vigorous trade being 10 done this season. The manufacturers have received 3t st few or d ers f rom t h e prov i nces, b ut t h e foreign agents, now at Paris, have given large commissions F to the principal houses. The present high rates of exchange are much felt by the manufacturers, vs it diminishes their profits. Thisiis particularly the case amongst the woollen and silk manufacturers, who have also to pay high rates of wages in consequence of the dearness of provisions. The prices of woollen fabrics have not altered, but the increasir. A g demand for inter mediate qualities is expecte , :t to advance the quo tations of that class of goods. In silks no further rise has taken place in the price of the raw mate rial, although it is said to be getting scarce in the markets of the Drome and Ardeche. The want of 0 will, however, checks any upward movement. Many large speculators who had made purchases at the lowest rates many months ago are no iy realising their profits, but without pressing sales. The New York accounts, received by the Arabia, report an active demand for money, but no pressure 5 seems to have been experienced. At the same time the opinion is expressed that a period of Ot At greater stringency is not far distant. In October 50 an immense amount of capital has to be employed 20 in commerce. The importations continued on an st. extensive scale, and the movement of the crops :; 9 would ere lon g augment the demand for money. st. The la s t wee kl y return of the City Banks showed an increase of $135,659 in the loans and discounts, st: and a decrease of $10,702 in the specie. it. A. further advance in the minimum rate of dia. 25 count at the B an k o f E ngland ! 25 50 The authorities at the Bank of England are evi- St. dently much perplexed at the present condition of St. the money mar k et. Last Wednesday their terms 'were increased from 4i to 5 per cent., and to-day Is it is announced that the rates are now 6 per cent. for bill s h aving 65 days to run, and 7 per cent. for to those of longer date. This gives e v id ence of a very 10 discouraging state of things, and there can be no g• doubt th a t i t would have been far better had the .: rate been raised last week at once to 5i or 6 per st , cent. These frequent changes create uneasiness, 10 if sot al arm, and tend to increase rather than allay 4.. the crisis against which they are directed. It St. may be , mentioned that the measure adopted k this morning was quite unexpected, and 20 it consequently had a marked effect on 2 ' ; the Stock Market. Although the demand for dis counts at the Bank of England, during the last two or three days, has not been excessive, large St amounts of bullion have been withdrawn on Con- 2; tinental account. There seems a very unsettled feeling with regard to the future, and the present 5( stringency is expected to continue for some time to 2 ' 1; come. The e ff ec t o f t h e enhanced terms upon trade will, of course, be prejudicial, but the coun try being in a prosperous eat° less inconvenience is likely to arise than would otherwise be the ease. I The Stock Market has, of course, been agitated 2 by the further alteration of the rate of discount. Consols opened steadily a t a b out 92g for money _ and the Bth inst., but they soon afterwards dropped to 914 1, when the measure of the Bank of Eng land was announced. They are now depressed at about 911 for money, and 91.1 for November. Exchequer Bills have receded to 10s., is., and ss. premium ; and the Bonds are 99i. Business in the Foreign Market has been almost suspended, prices having been affected to some extent by the decline in the value of Consols. Turkish 6 per Cents, have declined to 981 994, and the 4 per Cents., 100 to 1001, being a decline of about Ito 4 per cent. Brazilian 5 per Cents. are 1001 ; and ditto Rothschilds', 1001. Chilian 3 per Cents, realise 71. Russian 44 per Cents. are 96i, and the Small Bonds 97. Sardinian are 91i ; Spanish 3 per Cents. brought 424, and Dutch 4 per Cent. Certificates, 951. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Mexican, 221 to 221 ; Spanish 3 p er Cents., 42 43 ; ditto Deferred, 24/ 244 g. In the Railway Share Market a good business has been done, although prices have sympathised with the fall in the English Securities. Caledonian, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Brighton, South- Western, Midland, Norfolk, North Eastern Ber wick, and South Eastern declined 10s. to 15s. The other lines were also rather lower. The Foreign and Colonial lines were also in moderate request, at a slight reduction on previous rates. Joint Stock Bank Shares aro neglected, and prices are quite nominal. Ottoman Bank are 71. In the Miscellaneous Market very little business has been transacted, generally at lower quotations. 4k 4 , 8 8. 17 - 14 - 12 - 91 - 54 - 61, - 16' 9 i 15i 16, 33 so 23 25 1 - - 5 80 - 82 51i - 52 32 : 8 - 8. 924 93, 79 - 81 123 125 113 115 644 65 60 65 70 - 74 -- 6 1 54 64 954 • 96 • -..'

BUSSOLL ON AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. At the annual meeting of the Bedfordshire Agricultv ral Society, held on Friday last, at Woburn Abbey, the seat of his Grace the Duke of Bedford, Lord Charles Russell, in the course of his speech, made the following observations :—The subject of agricultural statistics was r.ther a vexed question. He had upon previous occa sions ventured, in an off-hand kind of manner, to pro nounce himself favourable to their collection. Of course no one can for a moment doubt the importance of infor mation of all kinds to farmers. I have no hesitation in raying that that which I covet most for myself and my is information. But, on the other hand, if there CHESTER RACES. CHESTER, Oct. 6.—Pantomime and Borderer have arrived. MILTON.—The following are expected to leave here for Chester :—Bashi Bazouk, Calvary, Cardsharper, Evelyn, and Peto. HAMBLEDON.—Gamekeeper has left for Chester. is one thing more than another at which my nature re volts it is the horrors of the inquisition. Now, there is a very old saying, that truth lies at the bottom of the well. This is an abstract truth, but the fact is that troth lies in the middle of it. It is just the attainment of that golden medium which would be so desirable in th collectiox of agricultural statistics. Why, how important they must be. It was only yesterday,. when riling over this estate, I heard a conversation which had arisen between some farmers as to the probable cost of cattle during this autumn, and everything relating to this point turned upon the nature of the turnip crop ; but the very best-informed gentleman present did not seem to know whether the crop was good or bid through. out England, and therefore they had not sufficient data upon which to form their opinion. If, then, it was de sirable in such a case to obtain information to enable them to lay in their autumnal stock, how much more important was it to have correct information with re vue; to corn, the great staple of the country which pro duces the food of man. I have said that the whole of the difficulty of this question arises in its solution, and I want to know who is so fitted to come to an accurate solutt - n as the farmers themselves. At present, as it ap pears to me, the question is somewhat equivocally dealt with. Ono scarcely knows the opinion of the agricultu ral world upon the subject. Some are for, some against it ; but no one appears very much in earnest about it, for no ono lays his shoulder to the wheel to collect the general opinion. If agriculturists were really in earnest, and really desirous to cast off the certain stigma under which they will labour as long as people are under the impression that they want to keep back something, they would collect the opinions of all persons interested in the question, and then, either through their representa tives in Parliament, or by means of a deputation to the Home Secretary, make known their view and wishes to the Government of the country. (Hear, hear.) I say this, because I am anxious that the agriculturists should, as a body, stand ai well in the social scale as it is pos sible for them to do. They stand at the present moment almost as high as any body of men can, and no human being has a right to complain of them, or to throw at them the charge that they profess what they do not practise ; and if some are a little dissatisfied, and sneer at the agriculturists, while at the same time they expose their own ignorance, it is owing to the fact that the far mers have opposed the collection of agricultural statistics. Let them, then, put their shoulders to the wheel and remove tLat stigma, and then they will occupy as high a pisition as any industrialC community in the universe. NEW BONAPARTIST PROJECT.—The sudden determi nation expressed by the French Emperor to remain ah s_mt from Paris until the first week in December has given ri=e to much gossiping rumour, which, no 6 having been contradicted, is taking root in the publidmind. 'rho r , ason for the measure, accredited by the romantic portion of the community, is that, in consequence of the still delicate h ea lth o f t h e E mpress , it wou ld b e w i se to avoid the Tuileries until after the vapours which arise from the Seine in the month of November shall have been dispelled by the first frost , '. It is, however, certain that Versailles has struck the fancy of the Empiess, who from the very first has expressed a repugnance to inhabiting the Tuileries, and whose aversion to the place has increased to a greater degree than eversince the bir,h of the Prince Impe rial. The publiCity of the gardeesof thepalace, the im possibility of enjoying private exercise with the nurse, and the rride of power cause this fancy for a winter establishment at Versailles. Should the •prospect be realised, the whole of the buildings round the palace would be restored to their former uses. The foreign am bassadors would have their alleted hotels, and the diffe rent ministbres their bureaux—in short, the dead city would be restored to life again. The plan forms part of the system which has long occupied the mind of the Bo' p,lir, and is connected with his scheme of the future decent ralisation of France. Ever since Louis Napoleon's accession to the throne, he has entertained the idea of punishing Paris by reducing it to the simple part of d : leader GI the fine arts, literature, and. science, and ied priving it o f i ts p o liti ca l pos i t i on.

In the value of inferior kinds very little change took place. Barley was firm at extreme rates, and all other articles sold at full prices. The value of wheat still continues to rule high in the continental markets, although steady shipments of pro duce continue to be made from the United States. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain were very moderato. From abroad we received 28,02 t quantities of wheat, 3,337 barley, 16,871 oats, 11,967 linseed, 5,335 rapeseed, 60 mustard seed, 1,041 sundry seeds, and 5,273 barrels of flour. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market to-day from Essex and Kent, coastwise and by Jand car riage, were very moderate, and the majoritiyof the samples were much out of condition, especially those from Kent. The show of wheat was small, aad-millers generally showed more disposition to purchase. All good and useful kinds changed hands briskly at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of from 1s to 2s per quarter. Damp parcels were firm in price, but the demand for them was by no means active. There was a fair show of most kinds of foreign wheat ; nevertheless, the demand for that grain ruled steady, and a fair average business was transacted in most kinds at very full prices. We had a better demand for floating cargoes off the coast. The few samples of malting barley on offer were quickly disposed of, at an improvement in value of from is to 2s per quarter. Grinding and distilling sorts were in fair request at full prices. Malt was in short supply, and fair request, at extreme quotations. The show of oats was moderate, and most kinds sold steadily, at prices quite equal to Monday last. Both beans and peas were in short supply, and steady re quest, at ♦ery full prices. The flour trade was firm, and, in some instances, coun try flour was rather dearer.

Of late only limited purchases of beasts and sheep have been effected in the Dutch markets on French account. There was a moderate f sow of foreign stock in to-day's market, but its quality was by no means first-rate. The arrivals of home-fed beasts were seasonably good as to number. Their general condition, however, was in. fake.. For the few prime breeds on offer there was an improved demand, and in some instances prices were the turn higher than on Monday last. Middling and inferior beasts moved off slowly, at th e lata decline in value. From Lincolnshire, Leicestsrshi:e, and Northampton. shire we received about 2,200 short horns; from other parts of England 300 of various breeds; and from Ireland 40) oxen. No suppl'es retlhed us from Scotland. Notwithstanding that there was a considerable falling off in the arrivals of sheep, the mutton trade ruled heavy, at last Monday's fr!l in the quotations.

MORE POISONING.—A decent servant.looking young woman .was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Eagleton, charged with attempting to commit suicide. Police constable 120 deposed that on Saturday nigh t he saw the defendant sitting on the steps of the Scotch Chapel, in Coleman-street. On going up to her, he noticed she put her tongue out of her mouth like a per son suffering from thirst, and he asked her what was the matter. She replied she had taken poison. She gave the witness a phial bottle marked "poison," and he then took her to Guy's Hospital, where she was attended to by the house-surgeon, but the laudanum she had swallowed was of so weak a nature that no ap prehension was entertained of its result. She bought threepennyworth of laudanum, she said, at a druggist's shop, but she refused to say where. On her was found two thimbles and two keys (one that of a beer or cider tap). The defendant, whose demeanour in the box was very respectful, declined to make any statement as to her name, relations, or occupation, because she did not wish her father to know what she had done. Mr. Alderman Eagleton addressed her in conciliatory terms, and informed her that as she declined to give her name or address, it would be his duty to remand her from time to time, until she made the necessary dis closures, for until that was done he could not l►berate her. It would be necessary for him to have some gua rantee that the offence should not be repeated before he discharged her. He, however, would give her an opportunity of communicating what was required to the officer in private, and she was allowed to retire with the officer for that purpose. Up to the time of our report leaving, she had refused to give the required information. SOUTHWARK. CRUELTY TO A DoNKEy.—Jolaz. Bording, a genera dealer, res►ding at Mitcham, was brought up in custody of Jabez Heller, one of the constables attached to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, charged with cruelly working a poor, worn-out, aged donkey, totally unfit for work. Heifer said that on Saturday afternoon he saw the de fendeukdriving a donkey and cart along the Borough towards the Elephant and Castle. Perceiving that one of its hind legs was perfectly useless, and that it could with difficulty move along, he stopped it and found a large wound near the hock. The poor beast was also spavined, and in that deplorable state that it would be a charity to have it slaughtered. The Magistrate left the Court to look at the animal, which stood trembling in the yard. On his return he said he never saw a donkey in such a state before. They were generally well taken care of by the poor, and never allowed to be in that condition. He was of opinion that it must have been cruelly treated. The prisoner said that since he had had the donkey he had allowed it to go on the co ninon, and he used it well. The sore and complaint came on without his knowledge, and he did not intend to use it any more. He should put it on the common again. The magistrate told him that all the care in the world would not cure the animal. Would he consent to have it slaughtered immediately 'I The prisoner replied that he would, although he did not like to part with the donkey, as he had promised the man from whom he had it that he would not. The constable and prisoner then took the poor animal to the knacker's, where it was killed, and on returning with the tail he was discharged. The magistrate, how ever, cautioned him how he acted for the future. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(Tbis Day.) LONDON, Oct. 6.—Wind this day at noon, ; light airs and dull hazy weather.

Loss OF AN OLD BRITISH MERCHANTMAN.—A letter has been received from Mr. H. England, an agent sent out by the Tyne Insurance clubs to the island of Gott land, who states that the old Liberty and Property of South Shields, which was stranded on that island, is a total wreck, and that her stores will be sold for the benefit of the underwriter. The Liberty and Property was among the oldest, if not the oldest, merchant vessel in England, having been built in the year 1750 at Whit by. She was well known to the seafaring population on the north-east coast, having been engaged iu the coal and Baltic trade and the transport service during the whole of her long reign. She ' was a strange old fashioned-looking craft, and generally attracted a good deal of attention in the Thames and other ports that she SHIPWRECK ON THE NORFOLK COAST.—In the course of the heavy equinoctial gales; the disastrous effects of which have been already noticed in The Sun, the barq , ie Coromandel, 600 tons, was wrecketlon the Ridge Sand, near Winterton, Norfolk. The ship sailed from Arch angel for London on the 13th of August, and was laden with deals. In the course of the voyage thick and bad weather was experienced, and the crew were exhausted by constant labour at the pumps. Shortly after the vessel struck en the sand part of her deck cargo was w.ished away, the stern was brokers in, and the poop was gutted. The mate and some of the crew got ou board the Falcon schooner, and the master, Capt. Au thrson, and the remainder of the crew were saved in a fishing smack. The wreck has since been removed to Winterton, and run ashore on Yarmouth beach. The men saved in the Falcon were landed at Bridlington, and have been forwarded to their homes by the Snip. Wrecked Mariners' Society, LITERATURE. Poems and Tales of Travel. By John Leekey. Whittaker and Co. The author in his modest preface tells us the poems were written for amusement in leisure hours that occurred during a few years of travel, and ventures to hope that some of their notes may sound in harmony, although their strains may not be of that sweetness, nor their colouring of that beauty, to give me the name of poet," further trusting " they will be found harmless in tone and sentiment, so as not to provoke ill-feeling nor sow the seeds of mischief in any breast." His confi dence is by no means misplaced, for several of his little poems possess merit enough to afford the positive pleasure, while the most objectionable features of any are those which the critical eye will alone detect. The greater portion are of a descrip tive character, and description is Mr. Leekey's forte. He has evidently a poet's eye for the beau ties of nature, and what be sees he treasures lovingly in , his recollection, and reproduces with satisfaction and a commendable degree of skill. Bad metre and faulty expressions are to be found in apparent abundance, but while these indicate the need of improvement there is enough to con vince us ho is capable of it, which is more than we can say of every writer whose "Poems " come be• ford us. Lays of Memory. By a Mother and Son. Hurst and Blackett. The peculiarity of the literary partnership to which this volume of poems owes its origin, the domestic affection and goneral right feeling it re veals, together with the object to which the profits, if any, are to be devoted (the building of a church), recommend it to the favourable consideration of the public, as they do to the indulgence of the critic, who has also to take into account the fact of the mother's contributions being penned during protracted sickness. High class poetry the Lays certainly are not ; nevertheless they are likely to be more or less a cce pt a bl e to au influential portion of the community—to wit, what is called the " religious world," and others who delight in reli gious sentiment, genial affection, and fervent devo tion, fluently expressed. The Lays arc hand somely got up by the publisher, and are divided into sacred and social, the latter to our taste being the best. The reader, however, will judge for himself in a matter of this sort. Calisthenics. By Henry de Laspee. Darton and - Co. A contribution to practical education in the foi in of a lucid and copiously illustrated exposition of the Elements of Bodily C u lt ure on P esta l ozz i an principles. The author has evidently studied the subject intelligently and with profound attention, and possesses the power to place the fruits of his s cientific labours in an attractive light. We say. cientific labours, for, as we have intimated, he is no mere drill-serjeant, teaching mechanically what he has been taught, but has laboriously carried out and traced the principles of bodily culture to their practical development, and this avowedly to meet higher ends than were contemplated by his predecessors. The admirers of the Pestalozzian method will be gratified by the successful manner in which the principle of the primary culture of the faculties and senses , on w hi c h th e i r specia! adaptation for the purposes of life is dependent, is here applied ; while every one who recognises the importance of early physical training wilt see rea son to admire a system of calisthenics so elaborate and admirably set forth as this. Wealth. How to Get, Preserve, and Enjoy it. By Joseph Bentley. Joseph Bentley. A fourth edition of a valuable little work al ready commended to the favourable notice of our readers. In addition to the plan of industrial training for the people developed by the author, the reader will find a complete abstract of the Life Office returns just printed by order of Par liament for 1855 to 1856, and a table showing the present state of all our life assurance companies. Members of the industrial classes who have a little money to spare can hardly lay out a couple of shillings to better advantage than in the purchase of " Wealth." CONNECTION BETWEEN SYDNEY AND PANAMA. —The Royal Mail Steam Company have issued a circular to their shareholders, proposi ng t o esta bli s h t h e long'de sired connection between Sydney and Panama. They recommend a fleet of auxiliary screw steamers, and cal culate upon a satisfactory return, not only from a pas senger traffic from England, but also from the United States, as well as by obtaining postal allowances from both countries. The line will also possess the advantage of being of incalculable importance to New Zealand. It is calculated that the entire voyage could be performed in 55 days, and the constant experience of the way in which tho Australian arrivals vice the Cape have been anticipated by letters brought by transient sailin i g vestels to Peru, and thence tansmitted across the I f A , r_. tuns, tends to warrant this conclusion. The caprt e : ( l l necessary is 400,0001., and this is suggested to b d e raised partly by an issue of new shares of 2017 by debenture. The departures would be monthly, and Suez line, so as e ach, and partly would be fixed between the times of to secure a fortnightly comuituaication.
