MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIIAL INTELLIGENCa CITY, Two o'CLooK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed firmly, at the full rates of last week. The sales were estimated at 10,00) bales, comprising 2,000 for export, and 1,000 on speculation. The sales in clude, in addition to American, 100 Pernam and Maranham, ad. to 7d. ; 20 Bahia 6id. ; 100 Egyptian, ad. to 7d. ; 1,000 Surats, 41d. to sga. ; and 60 Sea Islands, ls. to 2s. 2d. per lb. The Railway Share Market was steady, and prices slightly advanced. Accounts from the provincial grain markets in Franco report a further decline in wheat where they are well supplied, and an upward tendency where the parcels brought for sale are not sufficient to meet the demand. At Rennes the fall is H. 50c. per hectolitre ; while at Saint-Lo sales are active, with an advance of 2f. 21c. per ditto. At Toulouse wheat fell 50c., but maintained its price ; and at Lyons wheat declined the same, while flour rose If. per sack. At Chalons-sur-Heine no variation took place in the quotations of the previous week. The Directors of the Northern of France rail way company have issued a circular relative to the disappearance of their cashier, and his defalcations. After a careful examination they have ascertained that the account with the bank has not been tampered with, but that 5,747 shares had been abstracted, which was effected by false entries be tween the two cashiers. The company have taken measures to continue the business of the treasury without any interruption, so that the depositaries of shares will , not suffer. In the meantime the matter is undergoing a judicial investiga tion. The number of shares abstracted being 6,747 of 500 f. mai, would amount to 2,873,500 f., but, as they have doubled their value in the mar ket, the loss of course is greater. They are now quoted at 997 f. 50c. The Australi an mails, per Sardinian, will, it is expected, be dE :livered this afternoon. At the adjou rued special meeting of the National Discount Comp any, held to-day, the various amend ments in the rt: des and regulations of the company were confirmed.. A special mei sting of the proprietors of the Bank of England will be held on the 17th inst., for the election of a dii .ector in the room of Mr. Prescott, deceased. The half.yea sly meeting of the North British Railway Comp my was held to-day ; Mr. Hodgson in the chair. The report was favourable, and showed a surpl us enabling the directors to recom mend a modera to dividend on the ordinary stock of the company. ' The total receipts for the half-year were 124,599/. After paying 5 per cent, on the guaranteed stoc' k, the board recommended a divi dend at the rate, of 2i per cent. per annum on the ordinary stock. The report wv s adopted. Rumours wei 13 freely circulated yesterday after- noon to the et rect that the Bank of England's minimum rate of discount would be advanced per cent. to-day. The directors, however, have separated, after a very short meeting, without adopting any such measure, showing that, however unsett led the public mind may be with regard to monetary affairs, they are not yet so unfavoui able to call for a more restrictive policy on the part of the Threadneedle-street autho rities. At the di Lte of the last Bank return the re serve of notes v ras 6,063,7201., and unless, there. fore, a serious d iminution took place this week, it was unlikely that an increase in the terms of discount would be made, especially as the stock of bullion is believed to hare remained without material alteration. The arrivals of gold keep pace with the exports, and while these are balanced no s ensible decline in the metallic deposits of this national establishment need be apprehendeii. The demand for money continues brisk ; and although the Directors have made no alteration to-day, many are of opinion that an advance cannot be much lon ger delayed. The next two weekly returns will be awaited with a considerable degree of interest, since they will show whether there is just cause for anticipating a speedy enhancement in the official value of discount accommodation. Owing to the uneasy feeling created by the ex- pression of discouraging opinions as to the aspect of the money market, the English Funds experi enced a drop of nearly per cent. yesterday, but owing to the result of the Bank Meeting there has been a slight tendency to recovery this morn- in. Consols, however, are still low. For money they have been 93i to 94} and 94! ; and for account 941 :Ind 941 1. Exchequer Bills are 15s. to 17s. premium, and India Bonds 13s. to 17s. premium. A special transfer of the New Threes has been effected at 94g. A lower range of prices prevails in the Foreign Market, and the transactions have bean numerous. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been 1021 and since 103, while the 4 per Cents. are 1031. Spanish Threes are 44}, the New Deferred 25, and the Passive 6:.

TEE WARE Bars.— Today was appointed for the last examination of this bankrupt, who had carried on business, as a banker, at Ware. Mr. Plews (Lawrence and Plews) appeared for the assignees, and applied for an adjournment, as Messrs. Thomas and Copley, the accountants, bad not been able to complete the accounts, which are very voluminous. Proofs to a very large amount were admitted on affi- davits, and others in the usual form ; but as they were simply on notes and deposit receipts were not argued. Messrs. Linklater and Messrs. Chidley supported other proofs, which were also admitted. The accounts, as far as they have been arranged, show liabilities about 70,0001. ; but it isiimpossible at present to estimate the amount of the assets. An application was made on behalf of the bankrupt that a certain portion of the household farniture should be reserved for him, and that no sale should take place except under the order of the Court. Mr. Plews said that the property was advertised for sale, and consisted of household furniture, plate, wines, and carriage and horsem, but the assignees did not wish to act adversely to the bankrupt. His Honour asked the value of the property which the bankrupt wished to have retained ? Mr. Plews said about GOO/. or 700/. His Honour asked what would be the amount of the debts and assets I Mr. Whitmore, the official assignee, thought the debts and liabilities would reach between 70,0001. and 80,0001.; the amount of the dividend would depend on the validity of a deed of settlement made by the bankrupt on his wife and children ; but even if that could be set aside, it would not reach 108. in the pound, so as to entitle the bankrupt to the statutory allowance. His Honour then said the Court and the assignees might, however, make an allowance. Mr. Plows—Yee, to the extent of 3001. It was ultimately agreed that the furniture should be withdrawn from the sale, and the plate, &c., sold, and the question as to the furniture should stand over, the bankrupt selecting a portion to the amount of 3001., to be given to him hereafter, if the creditors were satisfied. The meeting was adjourned till the Ist of November. The audit meeting was appointed for the 31st October. The allowance to the bankrupt was continued. CITY SHERIFF'S COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) ALP Y. COHEN. ANTI-EMICIATION.—The plaintiff in this action is a journeyman carpenter, and sought to recover the sum of 165., the balance of an account for work and labour done. Thera was no defence, and the plaintiff pressed for an immediate order for payment, as he was about going to Australia. His Honour—You bad better be very careful what you are about, for I have good reason to know that there are many mechanics out of work there, who were sober, industrious men here. Don't be misled by inter ested persons. Plaintiff—But I am going out at the expense of the Government. His Honour—That maybe, but the Government here have nothing to do with the work there. There are a number there out of employment. I should advise you to write over to some friend or carpenter over there, and hear the truth, before you go. An order for payment forthwith was made. NEGUS V. GEE. THE OLD ADAGE—A MISS Is AS GOOD AS A MILE.— THE STATUTE Of LIM►TATIONS.—This was an action to recover the sum of 51. 2.5. for goods sold. There was no defence to the action on the merits, but a question was raised as to whether the debt was not barred by the Statute of Limitations, as the summons had only been taken out on the Saturday, as the six years expired on the Tuesday, and the summons was not served till afterwards. His Honour said a miss was as good as a mile in some cases, and the plaintiff was just in time. Judgment would be given for him. Plaintiff expressed his fear that it would h 6 years longer before he got the money. His Honour—Oh, you need not be afraid of the Statute of Limitations now. The juigment will last for 20 years, and longer than that. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(Ms Day.) BOW-STREET. STEALING GUTTA Charles Nash, a dissipated looking man, was placed at the bar charged with stealing 30Ib. of gutta percha, the property of Mr. Nosworthy, leather cutter, No. 3, Little Queen•street. The son of Mr. Nosworthy stated that he lived at 3, Little Queen•street, Holborn, and at about half-past 6 o'clock last evening he was in the back part of the shop at work and beard a noise at the door. On proceeding there to ascertain the cause he found that a long roll of gutta percha, containing about 301 b. of that material, and worth about 31., had been stolen. He looked across the street, and saw the prisoner with the roll of gutta percha on his shoulder, and on asking him what he was going to do with the property, he said he (witness) did not know what he was about, but he told him he knew perfectly well what he was doing, and then took the gutta percha from him, and then a strug• gle took place between them. His father came up, and the man was given into custody. Police-constable 8 E said the prisoner, on his being take❑ into custody, admitted stealing the property, say ing he had better do as he had done than starve. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge. The magistrate committed him to prison for G months. THAMES. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A TRADESMAN'S SON.— John Lefevre, a tall, :well-dressed man, the son of a blacking-manufacturer, in Great Garden street, White chapel, who was stated to be very respectably con nected, was charged with stealing 6s. 6,1. from a till in the Lord Ne'son public-house, Mill-wall, Poplar. Mr. Robert Sheppard, the landlord of the Lord Nel son, said the prisoner and another man came into his house yesterday afternoon. They called for a pint of half-and-half and a slice of bread and cheese, in payment of ,which the prisoner tendered him a half-sovereign. Witness took 9s. qd. (the change) from his till and handed it to the prisoner, who put it in his pocket. Directly afterwards witness had occasion to go into the kitchen, leaving the prisoner and his companion stand ing in front of the bar. He could see all that was going on in the bar from the kitchen, and had not been there a minute when he heard the till open and money rattling. He looked towards the bar and saw the back of a man hastily leaving it. He went into the bar, pulled open the till, and missed all the money that was in it when ho last opened it to give change. He was sure there was 6s, 61. in it, if not more, when he left the bar. There was a florin among the silver in the till. The prisoner and his companion were leaving the house when he came out of the kitchen. lie went after them and ovct took the prisoner, who was given into custody. The other man effected his escape George Osborne, a police constable, 129 K, stated that he searched the prisoner and found upon him five half-crowns, a florin, two shillings, three sixpences, and eightpence in copper. The prisoner said he had been to a public house and changed a sovereign, and that it would be a bad thing for his father when he heard •f this. Mr. Sheppard, is answer to a question by the Magis trate, said there was one half-cro wa in his till. The prisoner asked the witnesses questions, which elicited nothing favourable to him. He said he should reserve his defence, and was elm nutted for trial. ROBBERY IN THE WEST INDIA. DOCK. —Charles Denny, a well known thief, was charged with stealing 82ibs. of lead, the property of the East and West India Thck Company, on their pre mises. Henry Kett, a watchman in the employ of the dock company, said he was going round the West India Dock last night, at 8 o'clock, and while passing by a saltpetre warehouse he heard a hammering within. He knew that no one had any right there at such an hour, and watched. Soon afterwards the prisoner emerged from the warehouse, and put something on the grass in front of the warehouse, and then began hammering it with a mallet. The prisoner went into the warehouse, and re turned with a second load, which heale() put on the grass, and began hammering again. He went up to the prisoner, who was beating out some old lead on the grass. The prisoner ran away directly witness came up. He chased him round the field and took him into custody. The lead, which had been hammered out flat for the purpose of being concealed round the body , weighed 82:b., and was the property of the last and West India Dock Com pany. Mark Anthony Luldle, a dock constable, said the lead produced had been stripped from the roof of the saltpetre warehouse, rorh which a large cittantity had inch taloa '~' i 1 . in the course of the last fortnight, and much injury done to the building. The prisoner—You cab% say I took the lead. Liddle further stated that the prisoner was convicted of felony on the 13th of Mare), 1554, and sentenced by the Assistant-Judge of the Clerkenwell Sessions to 12 months' imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoner had since been in custody and summarily convicted for a petty theft. The prisoner was committed for trial. SOUTHWARK. THE OLD DODGE—RINGINGTHE CHANGES.—Margaret Williams, a well•dressed female, was brought before Mr. Combs for final examination, charged with obtain irg money under false pretences by the following artful dodge. Henry Green, a grocer, of 112, Great Suffolk-street, said that on Monday, the Ist inst., about six o'clock in the evening, the prisoner came into his shop and asked for a quarter of a pound of sugar. He served her, and handed him half a crown. He gave her 2s. 43d. change. She took up the money, and after shuffling io about for a moment or so, said "You don't call this right. I gave you half-a-crown, and you have only given me one shilling instead of two." Witness said he had given her the right change, but she persisted that he had not, and was so abusive that he was glad to get rid of her by giving her another shilling. He, however, sent his boy to watch her further proceedings, being satisfied that she was a thief and swindler. Mr. Gabb, the landlord of the Moonrakers public house, Suffolk-street, stated that about half-past six o'clock on the same evening the prisoner came into his shop and was served with half a pint of beer, which she paid for with a penny. She then asked for 3s. in exchange for half-a-crown and sixpence in cspper. Wi‘ness accom modated her, and about ten minutes afterwards she was served with some gin. She gave his wife half-a.crown to take for it, and witness saw her receive 2s. 4d. in change. Witness saw her change one of the shillings for a sixpence, when she said to Mrs. Gabb, "You have only given me change for a two shillings piece, whereas I gave you half a crown." Witness immediately stepped forward and told her that she received her right change, and that he had seen her substitute a sixpence for one of the shillings. She then abused him and left the shop, when he fullowed her and gave her into custody. The prisoner at first denied the charges, but when Mr. Combo told her she should commit her for trial, he said she had better plead guilty and receive sentence at once. Mr. Combe accordingly sentenced her to three months' hard labour, under the New Criminal Justices Act. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

The telegraph communication with the metropolis has only been effected within the last few days.—B. ighton Gazette. GRAND MUSICAL FETE.--We perceive it is the inten tion of the directors of the Royal Surrey Gardens to give a musical performance of more than usual attraction on Saturday next, when the visitors will have an oppor tunity cf hearing Madame Alboni, Madame Gassier, and Herr Formes, three artistes possessing the most extra ordinary vocal powers of any singer s at present before the public. The occasion will derive a dditional inte , est from the fact that it will probably be the last time the admirers of Madame Ge - leier will be enabled to hear her melodious notes during the present season. At a meeting of the Royal Santiagfo Mining Company, held yesterday, a call of 11. per share was made, to pro secute the undertaking. It is stated that the miners sent out from this country have proved inefficient through having contracted habits of intemperance, and that na tive labour is becoming scarce and expensive. Under these circumstances it is proposed to int: o Luce a limited number of Chinese„ and to provide for the necessary engagements and other expenditure further means are required. The latest advices are more encouraging, and the management hope that remunerative discoveries may yet be made. ONE WHO HAS WHISTLED AT TILE PLOUGH.—We are happy to learn that that excellent nobleman, Lord Kin naird, has opened a subscription list for Mr. Somerville, to enable him, with his family, to proceed to Australia, where there is no doubt he will find a wider field for his useful literary labours than he can at home. Mr. Somerville's services in the cause of the working classes in perilous times were attended with the most salutary effects ; whilst the parties who successfully struggled to emancipate commerce had not a more able, zealous, and indefatigable agent. We understand that his pecuniary distress arises from having had transactions as an author with persons whose circumstances prevented their being able to carry out their engagements with him. We are . informed that {Messrs. Ransom, Bouverie, and Co., of Pall-mall, are the bankers to whom subscriptions are to l.e forwarded. Lord E.janaird heads the list with 10/. LINCOLN RACES.—(This Day.)

By eorge Raymond. G. Routledze and Co., rerringdon-street. Mr. Raymond is well known as a writer of con siderable and versatile ability ; and this cheap edi tion of his collected Sketches and Tales will serve ' to justly extend his name and reputation. Too many of our "light-article" writers exercise their functions in the ephemeral style of romantic twad dle, or the flippant tone of "fast" funniness. Com. mon place insipidity, or diluted Joe Millerism, usually constitute the chief part of a modern " light" writer ; but the author of this volume has happily exhibited the possible union of ease, hu mour, and freshness, with perception, imagination, and philosophy. Here is a bit of truth, which too many who marry without allowing either heart or brain to "give them away," will unwittingly sub. scribe to : "There are some falsehoods, says Lord Bacon, which are continued by tradition, because they supply com modious; allusions. ' The Lottery of Wedlock' may be one of them. That the prizes are few, we admit ; but the produce of our scrip will be found less the caprice of Fortune than the result of our own went of judgment. In fact we are too apt to debit this lady with our own blunders. " The expressions prize and blank assume a kind of right to expect that Fortune will do something especially for us—that the cause is now entirely hers—that hay. in purchased a ticket in the wheel, we had but to give to the blind goddess our blinder faith, and she will ac complish all the rest, without our stir. "It may appear startling; but, perhaps, the greatest duplicity in life is the season of courtship. Affection is a most arrant traitor, and, like the rapt astronomer, whilst gazing on the stars sv , i fall into a pit. We deceive ourselves in our regard of another, and we deceive an other in the false representation of ourselves. We put on our best garments without at all suspecting the holiday dress of our companion. Suitors, in each other's eyes, are as perfect as those once-were who now lie in church yards—affectionate brothers, dutiful sons, and sincere friends. 'Rogues all' have a prescriptive title to thi* language when they are six feet in the earth, and all suitors claims as equal an estate when over head and ears in love. The question, therefore, is less an affair of the die 'thee of positive wilfulness, and its results less the operation of lottery than of conduct. No lottery, but a juggle—we juggle others, and we Juggle ourselves. For surely those who marry (,to use the words of Voltaire) through the caprice of a few days, a connection without attachment, a passion without affection, the affectation of cicisbeism, or a romantic fancy, cannot place the upshot to the charge of Fortune, who are themselves alone the responsible parties. It is no longer coejugium,' but conjurgium'—the reed and the fern, of opposite natures." In the relation of a well-told family story we find many such wholesome passages as this : "Premeditated pleasure as frequently fails as preinedi. tated wit. You wait an occasion which perhaps never arrives, or you force its fulfilment, which is utterly un productive. Woe be to those in the journey of life who promise to themselves a great deal of gratification.' Not merely does the common uncertainty of mortal things wait on these airy pledges, but it seems that the fondled chances grow up mot) sickly under the strong nourishment of confidence. The promising boy tui s out the dunce of the family; the promising lode y fields nob the payment of working the mine ; the promising Christmas affords but a dull festivity ; for all these matters having been too anxiously taken out of the common hands of chance for the fancied security of special promises, they stop payment at the very moment we are counting our gains, and prin. cipal and interest are lost together. "By these suggestions we do not mean that the best line of prudence should not be pursued in all things, but merely that what appears the most advised, should still be held unacquitted of mortal uncertainties, and be invested with no more than a portion of con& deuce :—success will in this way become more tri umphant, or failure lose much of its mortification." The following description of an eccentric elderly old gentleman is graphically given : "Mr. Gorcum leas an old bachelor, who having in earlier life, with great foresight, quarrelled with all his relatives, lest at any time they should ask favours of him, had lately made a great convenience; of the Wopshott fancily ; and as he was reputed to be extremely rich, he never found them unprepared to extend to him any personal accommodation whatever. His costume was not a little peculiar; for his shoes were of that thick ness with which the tanner, in the child's spelling-book, would have defended the besieged city—the shape rather that of a flat-bottomed boat ; so that he appeared (to use the words of some modern humorist) to have placed each foot in a coal barge, and feloniously walked away with the same. As to the stockings—those hanging in heavy festoons about his legs, were clearly manufac tured at a period when the art of weaving had not at tained the perfection it has in our day, " Rough and ragged like the Russian bear,' and entangling in their hirsute surface a world of straws, hay-seeds, and disabled blue-bottles. The small clothes, fitting with cutaneous adhesion, were black, and so was the waistcoat, and so also was the coat—that is, I have said black, from utter despair of fixing on any other known colour. The collar was flap, the pockets flap, the lappels were flap, and the tail most unquestionably was flap—it was a flapping black sea, undulating at this moment from the north-west winds which swept the continent of Marylebone. As a member of the old school, be wore a white stock, which, like the strangling collars of Dionysitie, seemed rather invented for death than tile, and most successfully aiding that interesting determination of blood to the northern extremity, by which so many valuable old gentlemen are suddenly taken off. " Gorcum was in truth a perfect Trojan, and never was there a countenance better fitted to endure a ten years' siege than his—his external hippopotamus visage looked to scorn the slings and arrows of outrageous' time, which fell blunted before it. Its completion, an imperfect mixture of cochineal, sienna, and burnt umber, except on the more prominent part of the nose, on whose vermiculous top the Prussian blue mostly pre vailed. It was a face, in fact, to cut up into mahogany tables, for it was also a lignum vitae which defied more delicate manufacture." In short, we have derived much gratification from the perusal of Mr. Raymond's little book, and can honestly declare that we have frequently given five times the stun for a volume which has not afforded us a fifth part of the interest and amusement con tained in this. Zariel's Grandchild. By R. Sparling. 3 vols. Newby. - This is a pleasing story. It relates the adventures of a young girl who was placed in peculiarly un pleasant circumstances. Her mother married against the will of her father a Captain Dolormo. It was hoped that he would be reconciled to them, but it was otherwise. John Zuriel., the millionnaire, had formed in his mind grand plans for his daugh ter's advancement on her marriage, and he could ill brook seeing his ideas destroyed in such a sum mary manner. Selina did not very long survive, her husband was ordered abroad, and she only lived to see him return. Dora, her daught: r, was different from her mother in possessing more firm ness of purpose, and more spirit and energy in her general demeanour. After the death of his wife, Major Delorme (as he had then become) did not improve, in fact rapidly deteriorated, in character. The early years of Do:a's life were peaceful enough in the little cottage where they continued to reside after her mother's death. The first trouble came in the person of Mr. Conroy Bradshaw, who is an admirable specimen of vulgar effrontery. The Major had to drop his old fastidiousness in the choice of acquaintances, and welcome whom ho thought likely to render him service. However, Mr. Bradshaw commenced importuning father and daughter for the hand of Dare, then grown a lovely girl. He would take no denial, and at last the Major desired him to leave them. He continued, however; to keep up the acquaintance to please himself, and was a torment to the gentle Dora. Far greater difficulties beset her path, for her father, iu a moment of despair, put the name of a friend to a bill that he had requested him to sign, but which the latter had declined to do. The terror and anguish of the daughter may be ima gined, but by the most strenuous exertions she con tinued to save the wretched man from the terrors of the law which awaited him had he taken his trial as a forger. It was wisely resolved by the heroine that she must immediately leave their residence and proceed to London. True, the guilt was not known, but people must discover something was wronaz in the Major's irregular life, and accordingly they left their beau tiful retreat for the smoke and dirt of the city. After a time they again went to a distance from London. Dora had it on her mind to repay the moneyihdaistoMwra. Lesparde had agreed to pay rather than the signature. She did at last effect this, partly by her own earnings as a te acher, and partly by id her to mo L th es e p r a s r . de T e h by the assistance of a friend of sum had already been pa Zuriel, who did not wish any one gr net a o nde b b e d: rimer through genero sit y to the conclusion is satisfactorily arranged, and Dora Delorme is enabled to rest after her arch'- pus labours a nd her many painful experiences in the conviction that she had done good service to many. The story is interesting whenever she ap pears, and some secondary characters are amus ingly sketched. So that on the whole it may prove a favourite with novel readers. The Art Journal.--Two engravings from pic tures in the Royal Collection, and a third of the "Statue of the late Earl of Belfast," by Mac dowel, comprise the larger illustrations. The pic tures illustrated are "Constantinople, or the Golden Horn," by J. .Tack, beautifully engraved by T. A. Prior ; and " St. Catherine," by Guido, skilfully executed by J. M. St. Eve. The British artist selected for illustration is James Duffield. Harding, four of whose river and pastoral pictures, tastefully rendered, contribute not a little to the ivalue of the number. The literary portion of the journal is both varied and attractive, and will be epprociated by the loverpot art. wis a ll Do ' ob l i re o ce rbe 9 here 1 .I‘ o ' ly ow' Ot t. 10 °1 ,a .011 , " 'No"' l i c , P° o f o Ps t r well' St. St. 50 50 20 45 1 100 0 sal 100 10iij 100 100 100 100 100 100 St. St. St. St. 9t. all all 141 12 1100 all 1100 104:1 16 5i 2i 100 all sll 100 82s, Bt.l 81281 10 St. St. all an all all all 100 20 20 20 20 i(X,' ion ICO UV 20 20 100 100 100 20 20 100 50 100 100 100 20 T7f 8 49 78 9 22i i 3f 5 4i 104 f 11t 161 20i 15f 31t IF'dh.i, x d ..,.~. twA we* N.
