During the past week there has been a decided-improve ment, and prices have generally advanced. In State stocks the chief business has been in the Federal Five per Cent Bonds, whilst there is only a very limited supply offering. Railroad Bonds have also been in demand, but more parti cularly those of the Panama and New York and Erie. Redeemable.

The Bank of England return completed to the 23d instant, shows some satisfactory changes. The bullion has been increased by nearly a quarter of a million, while there is a large addition to the reserve of notes. The other securities, in consequence of the greater ease in the money market, have been slightly reduced, while there is a considerable aug mentation to the private deposits. The various items and the changes they present are shown in the subjoined table ; Active Circulation .. Decrease .. Bullion ..

Owing to the present unfavourable position of financial affairs in Paris, the Italian Government have agreed to postpone the payment of half the next instalment of the loan for a month. There is still an exceedingly quiet demand for discount accommodation, notwithstanding the in creased facilities now offered by the banks and pri vate firms, but while commercial affairs remain in such an inactive state the inquiries will necessarily continue moderate. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday an extensive business was transacted, and prices ad vanced ld. to 2d per. lb. The sales amounted to fully 30,000 bales, including 16,000 East Indian. There were:no;bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. At the half-yearly meeting of the Globe Insur ance Company the usual dividend at the rate of 5 per cent., free of income-tax, was declared. During the last few days there has been rather less animation in the markets for Foreign and Colonial Produce. Tea, however, has been in steady request, and sugars have been dealt in to a limited extent, without much variation in values. For coffee, however, the inquiries have been active, and full rates have been readily obtained. Rice, fruit, and spices have continued in moderate demand at about previous values, and tallow has been at steady prices, for both present and forward delivery. A further improvement has taken place in the market for Public Securities, owing to further purchases chiefly on speculation. Consols have risen to 92! for transfer, and to 921 93 for the Yth proximo: The firmness of the Paris Bourse is the principal cause of this upward movement. The New Threes are firm at 91 1; the Reduced, 901 9ia; Exchequer Bills, March, at 7s. prem. ; Bank Stock is 232 ; India ditto has realised 224; ditto 5 per Cent., 1041 1051; ditto 5 per Cent.

The Queen has offered to confer the dignity of Knight hoo d upon Mr. Fairbeirn, the President of the British Association, in consideration of the eminent services he has rendered to science. It is understood that Mr. Fairbairn has declined the honour. THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER. —It is not perhaps generally known that some important changes in the law regarding the sale of gunpowder and fireworks are made by an Act of Parliament which came into operation on the Ist of September. By one section of this enactment, no Person can sell, or expose for sale, any firework without a lic ence for the purpose, and by another the penalty for throwing fireworks in thoroughfares, or other public places, is raised f rom 20 s . t o £5. The most important innovation, however, is the provision that no firework can be sold to any person apparently under 16 years o f a g e, without su bjecting the offender to a penalty not exceeding V. „ a. ue enforcement of this prohibition wou'd seem to threaten reductionthe to very small dimensions of the tra de in squibs A nd crackers connected with the approaching anniversary the Quial)9Wcit,r 'lot. 100 stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock 10 stock stock stock 2s.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—'This Day.) SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREE T. TATTERSALL'S-THURSDAY. ROBBERY AND MURDEROUS ASSAULT.— William Willis, a young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following robbery and violent assault : William Lewis, a respectable-looking young man, and who said he was a mariner, said that on the previous night he accompanied a young woman to a house in Hunt's-court, St. Martin's-lane, and soon after ho went to bed and fell off in a dose. Hearing the rattling of money in the room, he jumped out of bed and saw the prisoner at his pockets, and immediately seized him. Upon this the prisoner seized a large water jug from the wash-hand stand, and aimed a blow at his head; but, on holding up his arm, he received the blow upon it, the jug being smashed and his arm cut and covered with blood. The prisoner then ran down stairs, and he pursued him and called for the police. On searching his pockets 114' found all his money was gone. In answet to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prosecutor said that the young woman had left when he was awoke by the pri soner's being in the room. _ _ A constable, named Salisbury, proved searching the house and finding the prisoner secreted in a cellar, holding the door so as to prevent his coming in. He found 12s. 6d. on the prisoner, but no half sovereign. Prisoner's defence was that he went home and found the sailor in his bed asleep and said " Halloo, old fellow, what do you do here," and that then prosecutor jumped out of bed and attacked him, and that he (prisoner) struck in self defence.

For both red and white qualities the demand ruled inactive ; nevertheless, Monday's improve ment in the quotations was fairly supported. - . - All kinds of foreign wheat were held at extreme rates, but the amount of business transacted was very moderate. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a fair extent, and the currencies ruled firm. Malting barley moved off more freely, at very full prices. Grinding and distilling sorts were fully as dear as on Monday. New malt sold steadily; old, slowly, at late rates. Oats were firm, and the quotations were well maintaineat Beans and peas changed hands at fully Monday's advance in thoir value. The flour trade was steady, at quito previous rates.

The timidity exhibited by the backers since their signal discomfiture at Newmarket last week has grown more patent, as the last meeting at head-quarters approaches. The muster at the Corner this afternoon was extremely scant, and the business transacted; under such circum stances, was of the most limited character and was entirely confined to three or four animals. Henham Lass appeared extremely firm at her quoted price, at which she was sup ported for £lOO or £5OO. Asteroid also was inquired after, and just prior to the closing of the room 9 to 1 was taken to some money; with offers to go on. Limeflower, not Pre cise, as was anticipated, was the "sensation" of the after noon. The commission commenced at Manchester, was vigorously executed in the City in the morning, and she bloomed at the opening of the room as good a favourite as anything but the favourite ; but later in the afternoon a reaction set in, and she left off with a host of layers at 11 to 1. 100 to 8 each was taken to good money about Con fectioner and The Roe, the former having a strong party, who evidently expect to land the sweets on this occasion. The other animals enumerated in our subjoined list were occasionally touched upon, but the business transacted upon either must be looked upon as nominal. The following is a list of the closing prices : The favourite for tho Cambridgeshire is very quiet here. 6to 1 was offered on the field. Asteroid, Limeflower, and Confectioner were very firm, and Camerino has almost re sumed his former position, and the last we heard of him was an offer to take 100 to 5. The Liverpool Cup was in troduced, for which Sir William, Calpe, and Confidante were in most request, but there were not so many horses backed as we have seen on the introduction of so large an event. Closing prices : 33 to 1 agat Donner and Blitz (offered, 40 to 1 taken) 33 to 1 agat Baron Munchausen (offered) 40 to 1 agat Rocket (taken) 40 to 1 agst Sporting Life (offered) 50 to 1 agst Oxford (taken) A Sweepstakes of 5 sous each, with 50 added ; two yr-olds, 7st ; three, Sst 121 b ; f and g allowed 31b. Three quarters of a mile. Mr. Dawson's Birdhill, 2 yrs, 7st 31b (Madden) 1 Mr. Watts' Sir William Ai mstrong, 2 yrs, 7st 31b (Doyle) 0 Mr. Ruddock'e Fast Runner, 3 yrs, 9st 31b 0 Betting-2 to lon Birdhill. Won by half a length. Fast Runner did not pass the post. The winner was ob. jected to. An inquiry was subsequently instituted by the stewards on a charge of jostling preferred by the rider of Birdhill against the rider of Sir William Armstrong, who came in first. The jostle was proved, and the owner of Birdhill receives the stakes. BRITISH POSSESSIONS.

A RUSH or ROYALTY,—Amidst the mob of monarchs that have lately been favouring Louis Napoleon with their society, we think there is one King whom of all o thers the Emperor would be most deli g hted to see in France this year, and certainly his presence would be the most welcomed by the manufacturing classes in this coun try—and that is King Cotton, from America.—Punch. THE LADY WITH SIX DRESSES ON.--The Paris police a few days back, it has been mentioned, arrested at the Temple, a young woman, who had offered for sale a lady's dress of great value, for the possession of which she could not account ; and on being searched she was found to have on not fewer than six dresses, all valuable, one above the other, and in pockets in her crinoline were seve ral articles. She said that she was tho mistress of a young nobleman, who had bought the dresses for her, but that statement turned out to be untrue. From the publicity given to the affair the police have received communications from Orleans which state that she is the daughter of a re spectable woman, but has misconducted herself, and that she had stolen the dresses from the houses of wealthy per sons in the neighbourhood of that city by wh om the mother employed, She is to 1n lgooght to Walt ~--.~.: Johnny Cope, 12st 91b (Mr. Donkin) 1 Tousle, 12st .

By Mr. Alexander—That no person who enters horses in an assumed name shall be allowed to adopt and register as such the same name as that of any gentleman who runs his horses in his own name. By Lord Stamford—That the Tan Gallop at Newmarket shall be kept up in an efficient manner. By Mr. Greville—That the tax of 1 per cent. on winnings, levied under Rule 26 of the Jockey Club, shall cease after the present year. in the event of this not being agreed to Mr. Greville will move—That the entrance of the two Plates of 100 soya. each, for the establishment of which this tax was levied, shall bo reduced to I soy. By Lord W. Powlett—That in consequence of the crowded state of the dining-room, no more members of the new rooms shall be admitted, either by ballot or as members of White's, Brookes's, and Boodle's, until a vacancy occurs ; and that the number of members shall not in future exceed that which now exists. The stewards of the last Goodwood races and Admiral Rous will lay before the meeting the case of dispute as to Croagh Patrick's right to the Stewards' Cup and Chester field Cup at Goodwood, with the correspondence relating thereto, and ask the opinion of the meeting as to the ulterior steps to be adopted. Tho dates of the Newmarket meetings, 1862, will be an nounced. According to the arrangements now existing, they will be as follows :—Craven Meeting, Easter Monday, April 21 ; First Spring Meeting, Monday, May 6; July meeting, Monday, July 7 ; First October Meeting, Tues day, Sept. 30; Second October Meeting, Monday, Oct. 13; Houghton Meeting, Monday, Oct. 27. If these dates are not altered, the pritcipal meetings de pending on Newmarket will fall thus :—Epsom Summer Meeting, Tuesday, June 3; Ascot, Tuesday, Juno 17; Bil bury and Stockbridge, Wednesday and Thursday, July 2 and 3 ; Doncaster, Tuesday, Sept. 16. Goodwood will commence as usual on the last Tuesday in July (the 29th). A statute of the late Sir William Peel has been placed in the chancel of sandy Church, Bedford, There is another direction in which cotton may be sought and found, and for which purpose Government either has sent, or is about to send, a competent person to institute inquiries. Upper Burmah prior to the insurrection in China had a considerable trade with Yunan, and by this route exported into China 10,000,0001 b. of cotton, the growth of her fields, annually. For the last five or six years this route has been closed, and, as no other market has been found for the staple, the cultivation has been allowed to languish It is not so long since but that a slight effort made might cause it again to flourish. A brisk market in Rangoon, there can be little doubt, would soon, but for one obstacle, revive it ; that obstacle is the Ring of Burmah's export frontier duty. This is a matter for nego tiation, and the relaxing of our frontier duties on rice, or fish, would in all probability have the effect of inducing his Majesty to take the embargo off cotton. As it is a mat ter of importance that the growth of cotton should be encou raged as much as possible, and as Burmah Proper can pro duce it, it would be well worth a trial as to whether or not some understanding might not be come to between the King of Burmah and the Governor-General's agent on this subject. Some attempts have been made in British Burmah to im prove the staple of the cotton grown there and to introduce foreign varieties, In only one instance has success attended these attempts ; some New Orleans seed sown in light sandy soil yielded a fine crop equivalent to 1251 b. per acre. There is, unfortunately, a great disinclination on the part of the Burmese agriculturists to make use even of foreign seeds, and to all foreign agricultural products. The Texan seed sowed in an experimental garden at Rangoon yielded a fair crop, but all other seeds failed, attributable to the want of knowledge among the persons introducing the seed as to the nature of the soil adapted to each variety. However, it would be vain to look to the British provinces of Burmah for any large supply of cotton, the population being so scanty as to preclude all hopes of cotton cultivation being undertaken on any large scale. The subjects here broached, however, are well worthy the consideration of all persons in England who look to India to keep up the requisite supply of cotton, and through her means to continue in employment, and so save from starva tion, by any American vagaries, the 4,000,000 British sub jects employed in connection with the cotton mills of the United Kingdom. ABOARD THE WARRIOR.—One of the stokers, a grim-faced man, who paced about moodily, and with an air of suffering under not being permitted to set the ship going, rubbed spitefully at furnace door handles, and here came forward and volunteered information in a pained and hurt sort of a way. The engine represented, he said, aforce little short of 6,000 horses. A big man could pass, not only up and down the main steam pipe and its branches into the cylinders, but also through the passage of the side valves into the condensers. The Warrior had ten boilers, and each boiler was fed by four furnaces. Every boiler had 440 tubes. The piston weighed no less than 13 tons, and the stroke was four feet, the number of revolutions being 50 a minute. The steam shaft was one great piece of malleable iron, 30 feet long and 20 inches in diameter. The screw was of gun metal, 24 feet in diameter, and weighed about 20 tons. The ship consumed 125 tons of coal every 24 hours. After the second heavy dose of scientific facts, Master Gun ner started me again on a fresh tour, up all sorts of shiny iron stairs, and along all sorts of iron-grated passages. Now I found myself in a sort of small ballroom traversed by a great shaft of iron—now in a dark hall, studded en either side with 20 furnaces. Sailors were working up and down the stairs, mechanics were fitting up tables in the offi cers' cabins, marines were tugging at gun-carriages ; every one was busy, for the vessel was soon to be off to Ports mouth, and thence to start in search of a storm, in order to test hex sea-going powers.

A REVERSE Of FORTIINE.---DUring the confine ment of the last Earl of Cromartie in the Tower, his nephew, although taking no part in ion. was imprisoned with him, and on his uncle's dis charge was permitted to leave with him. Tho earl and countess (earl and countess no longer now) resolved to reside in London, at least for some time, and as simple Mr. and Mrs. Mackenzie fought earnestly against their mis fortunes. Their nephew and his two daughters had also to struggle bravely for daily bread. In the end, George 111. restored some portion of the attainted pro perty to the earl's daughter, on whose neck was plainly visible the mark of a blood-red axe, and admitted his nep hew into the Charter-house. But the earl's two great-nieces had to fight the battle of life alone, and obtained a precari ous living by making shirts and mending linen for their friends, and taking care of sets of chambers for gentlemen of the law. In Cannon-street there is a house that looks out upon a little railed-in grave -yard, and there these patient, suffering ladies resided for some time, nobly fulfilling the duties of their fallen station, and dying at length honoured and lamented by all who know them. — Once a Week. READY, AYE READY.—We all remember that when, during the Indian mutiny, it was thought necessary to despatch Sir Colin Campbell to Calcutta to assume the command of the forces, the gallant old general gained great credit for having demanded only 12 hours to prepare for his departure. In this, however, he was outdone by the late Earl Cathcart, who when asked by Lord Hill, the then General Commanding-in-Chief, what time he would require to prepare himself for active service, and proceed to Canada with despatches, replied, as he rose to take his departure, after a moment's hesitation, " Half-an-hour, my lord, but if necessary I will be quite ready in 20 minutes." --Once a Week, - Roger Hogan, Tailor, Upper Marylebone-street.

(From the Englishman of Sept. 14.) It is early yet to speculate even as to the quantity of cot ton whic'e, England may expect to receive from India, the produce of the crop grown in the present season. That the demand for cotton so loudly made from Manchester will be responded to there can be no doubt ; but to what extent, it is at pres ent, and will be for some time, impossible to deter mine. The seed is as yet but barely in the ground in those districts in which the south-west monsoon is most severely felt ; and, as the fall of rain this season has been unusually heavy, sowing has in a measure been retarded. Neverthe less, the reports from the provinces are favourable, inasmuch as the area already sown, and that set apart for cotton cul • tivation, is said to be unusually extensive ; in some districts double the quantity of land hitherto devoted to this object having been laid down with cotton. One great difficulty to be overcome is the feeling of distrust inherent in the native of India which is roused by any attempts made to induce him to eatend his cultivation of any particular crop. Reports are no .t wanting, and from trustworthy sources, of whole fields - having been rooted up immediately on inquiry being made as to the probable out-turn of cotton in some particular dis tricts—the ryots looking upon all such inquiries as precursors of additional and heavy taxation. This is a feeling which must and will wear out, but for the time it is attended with unfortunate consequences, as it tends, in some measure, to limit the supply of the staple so urgently demanded. These remarks apply more particularly to districts in which the ryot cultivates his land entirely at his own risk and charges. In those districts where the cultivator receives advances for his crop, before he even turns the soil preparatory to its re ception of the seed, no such distrust is felt, for, so long as payment for his crop is secured, it is a matter of indifference to him what that crop maybe, always provided it is the most profitable which the soil of his field will produce. In Dhar war, the Raiepore Doab, and 'Western Berar, on one side of India; in the North-West,and some parts of Bengal on the other, great efforts are being made, and not unsuccessfully, very greatly to extend the cultivation of cotton this season. What the result will be lies yet within the womb of futu rity. It is not a question of price which will influence in creased cultivation, at least not so far as the cultivator him self is concerned ; cotton pays him as well as any other crop he can raise on the same soil. The difficulty lies in the great risk .of transport to the coast, and the expenses attendant thereon. These are the great drawbacks to the production of cheap cotton in India, and it is to the im provement of the communications between the coast and interior, and thereby lessening the risk and expense of trans port, that the Cotton Supply Assocation and those inte rested in its produce must turn their undivided attention and exert their best energies. With these difficulties over come there is no reason why India should not produce as good and as cheap cotton as the Slave States of America. Moreover, in the districts whence cotton is derived Man chester may establish the additional market for her wares she so much requires. The same ways, whether rail, canal, or river, by which cotton will be drawn from the places of its growth, will convey into the interior the produce of Manchester mills, and, provided she can produce coarse fabrics of a quality similar to the native home-spun cloths, and sell them to the ryot at a low figure, Manchester need fear no dearth of cotton; the entire yield of the cotton fields of India will be at her disposal. Tho Punjab with its five rivers, all affording means of speedy and safe transport, appears to possess 'great advan tages for the cultivation of cotton. It numbers among its various works of public utility very heavy irrigation works, which, for the production of cotton of the finer staples in a climate such as that of the Punjab, are highly desirable, if not absolutely requisite. It has a numerous agricultural population, and is admirably administered—the former a sine qua non, the latter most advantageous—when capital has to be invested in the soil, and advances made for the fruits it has yet to yield. In the past year, 1860-61 the cotton produced in the several divisions of the Punjab and its dependencies amounted to 43,316,8001 b., of which about 4,000,0001 b. found their way to the coast. The quantity therefore absorbed in the country itself was in round num bers 39,000,0001 b., a very large portion of which might with good management and a judicious outlay of capital have been taken in exchange for the products of Manchester mills, instead of being devoted as it was to the manufacture of cloths, which Manchester ought to be able to supply at a figure which should defy competition on the part of any native hand looms. The Lieutenant-Governor gives it as his opinion that the production of cotton might be in definitely increased, but that to this end it will be neces sary for English speculators to have their agents in the country ready to pay at once for the crop and to give directions regarding the method of cleaning it; he further adds that it is his belief that a greater breadth of cotton has been sown this year than last.

THE POPE AND LITTLE CHILDREN.—A corres pondent of the Temps, in a letter dated Rome, Oct. 17, de scribes the following scene as having been witnessed by himself :—" On one of the many fine days with which we have been blessed this autumn, the Pope, in a special good humour, was walking in the country, and saying all sorts of kind things to little school children, who were allowed to kiss his feet. A chamberlain by his side carried a box laden with little paper packets in the form of horns of plenty, filled with medals which his Holiness had blessed. The Pope benignly distributed there among all the children who approached him, after having asked them some little ques tions from the catechism, or about the Immaculate Con was tion, the number of gods, &c.
