IPM MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Affairs in the discount market continue without change. Mon e y i s a b un d an t, an d th e demand for it very small. Three months' bills are again nego tiable at 31 per cent. As these terms permit the brokers to obtain a small profit upon their opera tions, and enable the mercantile community to ex change their paper at easy rates, the subject of an alteration in the offi3ial minimum no longer perplexes the commercial mind or engrosses its attention. A further withdrawal of £14,000 was effected at the Bank of England yesterday. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon there was no material alteration. The preliminary arrangements of the Royal Bank of India (lately started in Bombay) for commencing business in London are completed. The London and County Bank are the company's London bankers. Mr. Maculloch, formerly manager of the Agra and United Service Bank at Bombay, has been appointed the London agent, with offices in the East India Chambers, Leadeuhall.street. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Rmter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentea were 67f. 05c. Dull. The English Stock Market is less buoyant than it was at the close of business yesterday. Consols, which had been fractionally higher, have returned to their original quotations, which are 93 -} for money, and 93 e t I for the account. Tne New Threes and• Reduced Annuities are 94,- ; the New ditto, 764; India Stock is 226; the 5 per Cent. Loan, 1091 ; and the 4 per Cent. ditto, 1001 101. In the Foreign Market a further downward ten dency is apparent, and business is dull. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1854, are 92i ; do., 1862, 71i y ; do., Consolides, 521 53 ; Mexican, 42,},; Greek, 30i 2- ; do., Coupons, 1414 ; Spanish Passive, 35i ; do., Certificates, 131 ; Portuguese, 49Z- ; do., New Loan 11, d prem ; and the Confederate Loan, 63 65. The settlement of the account has been the chief business attended to in the Railway Share Market to-day, and prices have in several instances exhi bited more firmness. West Midland,NorthWestern, South Western, North Eastern, York, South and North Stafford have improved 55., and South Western, 10s.; Caledonian, however, have receded ss. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there has been little change of importance as regards prices. Bank Shares continue in moderate request. Char tered of India, Australian, and China have im proved to 391 40; Union of London to 381 ; India Land Mortgage Bank are quoted 3 to 3i premium ; East London, 21 to 3 prem. In the Miscellaneous Market, London Financial shares realise 151; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 84 i ; Discount Corporation are quoted 83. to 8; prem.; and Mercantile Credit, 11 to 2 prem.

Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, the Princess Christian, and the Princess Dagmar, attended by the Countess of Morton and the Countess Reventlow, drove out yesterday after noon. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and his Royal Highness Prince Christian, attended by Captain Grey and Captain Castenshjold, retarned from Newmarket last night shortly after seven o'clock, THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE and Lady Louisa Cavendish and family have taken up their residence at Hardwick Hall, near Chesterfield, since leaving Holkar Hall, near Milnethorpe. THE EARL AND COUNTESS OF LINCOLN have now taken possession of the house in Piccadilly formerly the residence of her Ladyship's father, the late Mr. Hope, and bequeathed to the Countess at his death. Her Highness the Princess Hohenlohe arrived in London yesterday from Dover. Earl de Grey, the Secretary of State for War, has consented to preside at the annual supper of the St. Martin's division of the Queen's (Westminster) Rifle Volunteers, which will be held at the Freemasons' Tavern on November 11. Earl Cowley, the British Ambassador at Paris, has returned to the French capital, after an absence of six weeks. The Count and Countess Kleczkowsha, nie Tudor, accompanied by their family, arrived at the Bruns wick Hotel, Jermyn-street, last night, from St. Petersburg. THE GRAND OLD STORY ABOUT THE DEATH OF THE PAGAN GODS !—ln Paso, says Mr. Ansted in his recently published work on the " lonian Islands in 1863," about the time that our Lord suffered his most bitter passion, certain persons sailing from Italy to Cyprus at night, heard a voice calling aloud, Thamus•l Thamus I who, giving ear to the cry, was bidden (for he was pilot of the ship:, when he came near to Pelodes (the Bay of Butrinto), to tell that the great god Pan was dead ; which he doubting to do, yet for that when he came to Pelodes, there was such a calm of wind that the ship stood still in the sea unmoved, he was forced to cry aloud that Pan was dead; wherewithal there were such piteous outcries and dreadful shrieking as hath not been the like. Milton al ludes to the circumstance in his "Ode to the Nativity"— The lonely mountains o'er, And the resounding shore, A voice of weeping heard and loud lament—. and Plutarch refers to the same remarkable incident. QUEEN MAB. By JULIA KAVANAGH.—This is one of the best of the numerous productions of Miss Kava nagh's pen. She has long since established herself as a novel writer, and every fresh attempt gains her a larger circle of admirers. Her power of description is great, and she succeeds in setting her characters clearly before the reader. " Queen Mab" is more charming than any of her former creations. The story will surely find much favour with the public.—Ubserver. SIGNIFICANT !—THE SHADOWS OF COMING EVENTS.—The officers of the " Empress's Dragoons," says the Paris correspondent of the Vines, gave a dinner a day or two ago, in the Salle Louis X :11. of the Palais of Versailles, to the officers of the Cuirassiars and Lancers in garrison in that place; Marshals Magnan and Regnault de St. Jean d'Angely, Generals d'Allonville and Pat 6., and several other officers of rank were among the guests, Covers were laid for 230. Toasts were, of course, given to the Emperor, Empress, and Prince Imperial, to the army, &c. On the health of his regiment of Dragoons being pro posed, Colonel Pajol said, in returning thanks :—" Per haps the day is not distant when the Emperor will call upon us to measure our swords with the oppressors of a people so full of sympathy towards France. We will then, like those who have gone before us, let the world know the i advantages that may be derived from the combination of al the arms of cavalry." This expectation of a war with Russia—for it can only be Russia that is meant—was greatly applauded. The presence of two marsbals and of other officers high in command makes the incident still more remarkable. Before the war in Italy there were indi cations of a similar kind. LIVERPOOL, Oct. 27.—The Leviathan, in ballast, trading between Havannah and Mobile, and the schooners Condor (with general cargo), Flying Scud, and Vanguard, with cotton, have been captured by a Federal cruiser in the Gulf of Mexico. Advices from Beaufort, North Carolina, dated the Ist October, state that on the 29th September a large side-wheel steamer, apparently deeply laden, ran the blockade out of Wilmington. A LIVING WAIF.—The English schooner Theo dore, which arrived at Havre the day before yesterday from Newcastle, picked up at sea, about 10 miles from the Eng lish coast, a fine Newfoundland dog, which was standing oa a piece of timber about two yards long, forming part of the wreck of soma vessel, other portions of which were seen floating near. When the dog, which is a very fine animal, saw the schooner's boat approaching, it jumped into the water and swam to meet its deliverers. TWELVE MILLION BUTTERFLIES.—In the canton of Basle no less than 12,000,000 butterflies have been caught this year, and the Government has paid the s c e a c t t e s h: f r o a rt th: fiv n e ot a i r n e co fe n: n i a d ls e e ra ; ble sum of 1,000,000 f. Natu ralists tell us that of every hundred of these beautiful in and as each of the latter is estimated to lay, on the average, forty fruitful eggs, the destruction of these 12,000,000 is virtually the same as the annihilation of 216,000,000 caterpillars. Mr. RUSKIN has built a Swiss chalet on the mountain side overhanging Chamouni. Ho purposes to study the mountain effects throughout the greater portion of the year; and, if report speaks truly, we are to be fa voured with the result of his observations, in a volume of glowing Ruskinese. A VESSEL STRUCK BY A WHALE.—Captain Kirkham, of the barque Edwin and Lizzie, w hich has just arrived in the Mersey, gives particulars of one of those rare instances of a whale striking a vessel direct on the stem, and which in the care of his ship nearly caused her to founder, so tremendous was the shock she received. The Edwin and Lizzie left Prince Edward Island with a cargo of timber, and on the 12th of October, in lat. 45 1 north, 1,,n, 27 8 west, at half-past lin the afternoon, was struck by a large whale. Part of her cut-water was carried away, and the main stem cut right through to the wooden ends. This terrible blow, as might be expected, caused great alum on board the vessel, and so rapidly did she leak that the putups were instantly manned, and kept goi ng night and day without intermission. Fortunately th ey were equal to the emergency, and though the Edwin and Lizzie (a new vessel) had seven feet of water in her hold, she was brought safely to the Mersey and docked, BRITISH POSSESSIONS.

". CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day, OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) THE MitRYLEBONE MURDER. The defendant was fined 10s. Sarah Emily Mitchell, aged 24, was indicted for the wilful murder of her illegitimate child. There were several other counts charged in the indictment. The prisoner was dressed in deep mourning. She was seated in a chair, and was held up by two female warders. When she was asked to plead not a word was extracted, and a plea of not guilty was entered. Mr. Clark and kr. Beasley prosecuted. The prisoner was defended by Sergeant Shee. The learned counsel, in opening the case, said the pri soner had been in the service of Mr. F. Chappell, of Liverpool, who led her astray, and the result was the birth of a child, which she was charged with having murdered. This person brought her to London, and toos lodgings for her at No. 103, Marylebone-road, where she had another which did not live, At this time she began to entertain feelings of jealousy towards Mr. Chappell, threatening to destroy both herself and her child. As the qulstion of insanity would be raised, he should feel it his duty to put into the witness box the medical gentleman who attended her, and who had examined her in order to ascertain her mental condition. Mr. W. Catherow, surgeon, of Weymouth-street, said he had attendEd the prisoner on the 3d July, she was then in a very prostrate condition from excitement caused by jealousy. He calmed her and left her about half•past four o'clock ; the same afternoon he was agaia fetched when he found her lying on the sofa with her throat cut, and the child was also lying on the bed dead. A razor was found near the bed. From the appearance and actions of the prisoner after she had inflicted the wounds, he was of opinion that she was labouring under some disturbance of the mental system. Sketched. Cross-examined by Sergeant Shee—She was nervous and excited from the first moment she saw him. Her second child was nit of full growth, it only lived about six hours. She had much restlessness and excitement, and he had to give her large quantities of laudanum to enable her to get any rest. She talked to him a great deal about Mr. Chappell. She was provided with every necessary for her comfort except during the last three weeks when she re fused assistance from Mr. Chappell. She said she would have Mr. Chappell's affections or no money. Mr. Chap pell's lawyer came to witness and asked him to arrange terms of separation. He spoke to the prisoner on the subject, and from that time she refused assistance. His attention had been called to the prisoner's mind by the sister, who had frequently called upon him, and he ulti mately asked Mr. Byam to meet him. Elizabeth Mitchell, sister to the prisoner, was then ex amined, and her evidence went to show that for some time back, in consequence of the jealousy she entertained of Mr. Chappell, she became at times quite unconscious. She always expressed and showed the greatest affection for her child. She knew Mr. Chappell had told prisoner that he thought it would be for the happiness of both that a separation should take place between them, and with that view his solicitor would call upon her to arrange the terms of separation. He also had told her that neither she or her child should ever want for anything. Mr. W. J. Byam, of Welbeck-street, surgeon, confirmed the evidence of Mr. Catherow as to the state of mind of the prisoner. Dr. Thorne, of Camberwell, who attended the prispner in her first confinement, in June, 1862, gave similar evidence. He was positive at that time that if she became a mother again her mind or body would give way, or perhaps both. Ho saw her again on the 2d of August, when the child was dead. His opinion was that she was maniacal. He saw her again afterwards, and up to the last moment she was in a state of suicidal mania. Baron Martin said it was a question for the jury whether the prisoner was a responsible person. Ills own mind was clear upon the matter. Mr. Clarke said there was much more evidence of the same kind. The jury then turned round to consider, when Baron Martin told them that the charge against the prisoner was one of murder, and could not be reduced to manslaughter. Everything depended on tho state of mind. The jury then acquitted the prisoner on the ground of insanity. Baron Martin said that in consequence of their verdict, the propriety of which it was impossible to doubt, the pri soner must be detained in custody until her Majesty's pleasure was known. the prisoner was then removed from the dock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE WEST•END BEGGING NUISANCE —A tall, Strongly built fellow, named Daniel Sullivan, was charged before Mr. Knox with begging. From the evidence of Wm. Gordon, 323 A, it appeared that he saw the prisoner last night begging at the door of the Junior United Service Club of the members as they entered or left. Ile saw the prisoner receive money of two or three of the members—who he (Gordon) had no doubt gave it him from fear—and he then took him into custody, Ou searching him at the station he found 4s. in his posses. sion. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for a month with hard labour. A sturdy fellow named Casey was charged with a similar offence, 4s. 6d. being in his possession at the time. He was also committed for a month with hard labour. Mr. Knox inquired of Inspector Bowles whether the beg ging nuisance complained of in Regent-street and Bond street was so bad as formerly. Inspector Bowles said that since his worship had sent all the persons charged to prison there had been almost an entire cessation of the nuisance. DISORDERLY CONDUCT IN THE HAYMARKET.—Mr. Joseph Matthews, of 18, Edgware-road, gentleman, and Mr. John Jones, surgeon, were charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and behaving in a disorderly manner in the Haymarket. Mickleborough, 307 A, proved seeing the two defendants in the Haymarket, about a quarter-past one this morning, pushing against the passersby. He expostulated with them, telling them that in such a place their conduct was calculated to cause a great disturbance, and they went on a short distance, but again repeated their unruly conduct, and Mickleborough then took them into custody. One of the defendants eaid they had been dining with some friends and got tipsy. Mr. Knox fined them 10s. each, or seven days. Two females, named Ann Pearce and Emily Jervis,were next charged with disorderly conduct in the Haymarket, a nd assaulting Holden, 297 A„ The case having been p roved, they were committed for a month each. ......,.__ --...... W ESTMINSTER. SPECIMEN OF AN HONEST Boy.—John Garraway, a respectable-looking lad between 12 and 13, was charged with stealing a fowl under the following circumstances:— Alfred Lovelock, 336 B, said that at 7 o'clock on Tues day evening he was on duty in Elizabeth-street, Pimlico, when he saw the prisoner and three other boys loitering round the shop window of Mr. Williams, cheesemonger and poulterer, 24, Eliz abeth -street. Having his suspicions aroused, he watched them, and shortly afterwards saw the prisoner go inside the shop and steal a fowl. upon which w it ries went up to him, and, finding the fowl under his coat, took him to the station, the other lads escaping. Mr. Wilkins having identified the fowl, Mr. Arnold asked if there was any one present belonging to the lad. The prisoner's father hero stepped forward. Mr. Arn'old—Your boy is charged with stealing a chicken. What have you to say about his general conduct ? The Father—He's as honest a c hild , your worship, as ever stood upright in shoe leather. (laughter, in which the magistrate joined.) lam a French polisher, and sent him out with a job yesterday, when he got along with some other boys and they set him on ; and I hope you'll not send him to prison till the other boys are found. Mr. Arnold—That's all very well, but h ere the constable saw him take the fowl and took it from him. What have you to say, boy ? Prisoner—l am very sorry I took it. Mr. Arnold—l must say that, for "a s h onest a child as ever stood upright in shoe leather," this is a most impu dent robbery. You are remanded for a wee k . The father here commenced inveighing against the con stable for not apprehending the other boys, and was turned out of court, declaring that his boy should not go to prison without them, The defendant---There, 2s, costs, first time, 2s. costs the second time, and ss. fine the third time. FIFTEEN TI➢IES CONVICTED.—A. well-known and despe• rate thief, who gave the name of John Walbrook, was charged with stealing money from a till in the Shakspere Head public-house, in Jubilee- street, Stepney. Miss Grace Mare, barmaid, said—l was in the bar parlour this morning, and heard the jingling of money. I went into the bar, and saw the prisoner leaning over the counter, with his hand in the till, which was open. He was in the act of taking some halfpence out of the till. He dropped them when he saw me, and rushed out of the house. I called out " ;,top thief," and he was caught and detained. Mr. James Griffin, Inspector of the K division, said—l know the prisoner well. I believe his real name is John Middleton. He was here on the 22d of May last for opening a parlour window and stealing a watch. He was remanded, and when he was brought up a second time Hawkes, a City police-offieer, proved twelve convictions against him. Two of them were at the Sessions, and ten were summary ones. I know of three more. Mr. Partridge—What became of hirala ' st time he was here. Witness—Mr. Woolrych sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. Mr. Partridge—Then I shall commit him for trial. The Great Confederate Chiefs Be- THAMES. A POLICE PENSIONER FlNED.—Joseph Burton, a beer seller, and formerly a police-constable of the IC division, who has been In the receipt of a pension for the last four years, was charged on a summons with having his house opened for the sale of ale and beer on the morning of Sun day, the 18th instant, before the hour of one o'clock in the afternoon, the same not being then and there for the re• freshment of travellers. George Clark, a police-constable, No. 145 K, said that he saw a little girl leave the defendant ' s hous e a t h a lf past 10 o'clock on the morning in question with b eer i n a j ug. At 11 another girl came out with malt liquor in a mug and another person went in. At 20 minutes past 12 a man came out with a bottle under his coat. It contained a pint of malt liquor. The defendant afterwards met him and abused him. He was called a seam p, and other opprobrious names. The defendant said he served no one on the morning in question, and the man who left his house had some cod liver oil in a bottle, and h e w o uld defy any policeman to distuguish between c.al liver oil and beer. Inspector Griffin of the K division, said the defendant had been three times convicted for selling beer during the prohibited hours on S u nday, and although he was a pensioner on the Metropo litan Police Fund, he was very abusive to the police, and had used very bad language. The defendant—Now what sort of convictions were they, no tines were inflicted. Griffin—On the first two occasions he was fined 25., and on the third conviction, 58. JEFFERSON DAVIS. "During the week, after the battle of Manassas, when the weather had cleared and the scorching July sun blazed again as of old, by common consent we all took to the woods, and encamped there. As for ' Jeff Davis,' it appears that when the rout of the enemy was complete, he had ridden without escort along the lines—hut his features and figure were so well known that he was quickly discovered, and loud yells of delight rang out from our whole army. Taking advantage of the fall of the evening, he dropped in' upon our officers (many of whom were fellow-townsmen), or ex 'members of the U.S. branches of Legislature) to haves quiet chat. As I had never seen a live Pre sident, my curiosity was on the qui vine, and when his presence was whispered to me, I found him sitting at our colonel's tent door, with a circle of captains and lieu tenants, conversing very quietly on State affairs, but with no more animation or sign of pleasure than if a victorious army was not around, or a beaten one flying from him. in c itizen attire, with beaver hat, and smoking a cigar, he lis tened to all that was said, assented cr dissented with a nod of the head, and some time after, mounting his grey mare, ambled off to Manassas, as unostentatiously as if he were the least person in the Confederacy. Since then I have seen the President frequently on different fields of battle, and have observed little change in his habitually modest and thoughtful demeanour, although on many occasions his proud and victorious troops, unconscious of his presence, were rending the skies with their shouts, or charging the enemy w ith unexampled fu r y." " STONEWALL" JACKSON. • "Stonewall" may be a very fine old gentleman, and an honest, good-tempered, industrious man. but I should admire him much more in a state of rest than continually seeing him moving in the front. And such a dry old stick, too lAs for uniform, he has none—his wardrobe isn't worth a dollar, and his horse is quite in keeping, being a poor lean an imal of little spirit or activity. And don't he keep his aides mo ving about I Thirty miles' ride at night through the mud is nothing of a job; and if they don't come up to time, I'd as soon face the devil, for Jackson takes no ex cuses when duty is on hand. He is about thirty-five years o ld, of medium height, strongly built, solemn and thoughtful, speaks but little, and a:ways in a calm, de cided tone; and from what he says there is no appeal, for he seems to know every hole and corner of the Valley, as if he made it, or, a t l eas t, as if it had been designed for his own use. He knows all the distances, all the roads, even to cow-paths through the woods, and goat tracks along the hills. He sits his horse very awk wavily, although, generally speaking, all Virginians are fine horsemen, and has a fashion of holding his head very high, and chin up, as if searching for something skywards ; yet although you can never see his eyes for the cap-peak drawn down over them, nothing escapes his observation. His movements are sudden and unaccountable ; his staff don't pretend to keep up with him, and, consequently, he is frequently seen alone poking about in all sorts of holes and corners, at all times of night and day. I have fre quently seen him approach in th e dead of night and enter into conversation with sentinels, and ride off through the darkness without saying, God bless you,' or any thing civil to the officers. The consequence is, that the officers are scared, and the men love him. He was a student at West Point, but never remarkable for any brilliancy. What service he has seen was in Mexico, where he served as lieutenant of artillery. At one of the battles there his saptain was about to withdraw the guns, because of the loss suffered by the battery, and also because the range was too great. This did not suit our hero ; he ad vance d hi s p i ece sever al hundred y ards, and 'shortened the distance,' dis ounted his opponent's guns, and remained master of the posi don." To the above the writer appends the following note :- 6. General Jackson was never known to put his horse out of a trot, except when desirous of escaping the cheering of his men, on which occasions he would raise his cap, discovering a high, bald fore head, and force his old 'sorrel' into a gallop. This old sorrel' war-horse is well known throughout the ar m y ; w ith head down it seldom attem more than a trot, but and that may be th e reason why the gene stands fire Wel l, ral prefers and always rides him. Many gentlemen, im agining that the hero would appear to better advantage on a blood animal, have presented several to him, but they are seldom used. When our army entered Maryland, in Sep tember, 1862, in order to get in the rear of General Miles at Harper's Ferry, and secure the 14,000 men under his com mand, Jackson's corps was stationed east of Frederick, and an influential citizen, in token of admiration, gave the com mander a very valuable horse, that he might appear to advantage . Jackson mounted in the public street, and was immediately thrown into the mud I The old sorrel' was again brought forth, and the general ambled off, very good humouredly, never essaying to mount fine' horses again." Statue of the Emperor Napoleon I. The Moniteur has the following on the statue of the Place Vendome :—" A modification which is a t will this be viewed with satisfaction b y all artists moment in course of execution at the column of the .Place Vendome. The present statue of the Em peror Napoleon I. is to be replaced by one similar to that which was fixed on the column under the first Empire. It is well known that the Emperor, wishing to perpetuate the memory of the glorious campaign terminated by the battle of Austerlitz, ordered the erection of a column with the bronze of the cannon taken from the enemy. This monu ment, begun in 1806 and terminated in 1810, was surmounted by a statue of Napoleon I. in heroic costume, in conformity with traditional usage. This statue, the work of the sculptor Chaudet, was taken down in 1814, and afterwards melted to cast the statue of Henry IV., now on the Pont-Neuf. A Royal ordonnance of the Bth of April, 1831, ordered the restoration of the Imperial statue only ; instead of preserving the original cos tume the Emperor was represented in the dress be usually wore when with the army. This new statue was placed on the column in 1833. Since that date the change made in the costume has been much criticised. It must not be forgotten that this occa sion was a kind of apotheosis, and that, if it is allowable to give the statues which commonly de corate our public places the costumes habitually worn by the men they represent. it cannot be the same with statues intended to surmount a triumphal column. The ancients were well aware of this, as shown by Trojan's column, of w hi c h the column in the Place Vendome is an imitation. The Emperor Napoleon 111., faithful to the reminis cences of the First Empire, wished that the effigy of the founder of the dynasty should be re-estab• !idled on conditions in conformity with tradition. The new statue, confided to the talent of M. Dumont, member of the Institute, and cast by Tbiebau lt, is completed, and will be shortly put in i ts p lace. It holds in one of its hands the same wi n g ed Victory as the statue had in 1810, and whic h has been pre served, and the beauty of its lines will harmonise with those of the column. At the sametimethat ' the Emperor ordered this chang e, be c omprehended that the present statue, co nsecrated by thirty years, and representing t he military costume so well known throughout the whole word, ought to remain before the eyes of the people and of the army ; and he ordered that a pedestal should be erected for it at the Road-Point of Courbevoie, at the corner of the Avenue de Ne,_rui.lolyra.phle'hdies placeu_jtoiiies admirably chose n fur such a monu ment.

In the early part of the morning the market was rather quiet, but later in the day a good telegram from India was announced, quoting the market at Calcutta much excited, with a con siderable advance in yarns and cloths, which had the effect of imparting greater strength and acti vity to this market. Prices advanced Id per lb., and in some cases sellers report ld advance as com pared with last Friday. The market for these de scriptions of (shipping) yarns closes with a strong and buoyant feeling. A moderate business is also reported to have been effected in co p y arns at an advance on last week. Manufacturers hesitated iu the morning to give the advance, but on the whale a fair amount of business is understood to have been done, and the market for these goods is better than last week. Among the telegrams from India is one from Calcutta, dated the 13th of October, quoting Gib shivtings, 8d per piece higher; 71b do., 8d per piece higher; 81b shirtings, 18d higher; and cotton also considerably advanced. In the cloth market there has also been some improvement. The excitement in the Liverpool cotton-market last week checked, and, in fact, almost stopped business in calicoes, but the renewed activity at Liverpool of the last two days have been to some extent responded to here, and we have had considerable inquiry for most descriptions of cloth suitable to India, and many offers have been made. The dearer cotton market obliging manufacturers to further advance their quotations, these offers have in some cases been declined, and the business effected for actual ship ment is understood to have been small. Some sales, however, have been effe c t e d to sh i ppers, where sellers were willing to meet buyers at something under extreme rates. A fair business has been done in some cases at the full advance, but it is generally believed to have been of a speculative character. LEEDS, 27th.--There has been quiet but steady markets in the cloth-halls to-d a y. A mo d erate amount of business was done in meltons, tweeds, and ordinary black cloths; but as the early part of the day was very foggy, the attendance of buyers was rather small. At the close of the markets a fair amount of heavy goods, such as pilots, witneys, left the halls, affording satisfactory proof that win ter fabrics are still in request by some of the retail dealers. Prices of woollen goods of all descriptions are very firm. The flax trade is busy, and both the raw material and yarns and threads are rising in price. Seldom have the fiaA-mill hands here been better employed than they are at present. NOTTINGHAM, 27th.—There was a limited atten dance at this Exchange-hall to-day, and the demand for lace yarns was quiet, on account of the high prices asked ; the amount of business transacted was small, and extreme rates were maintained. For hosiery yarns the demand was also slow, at fully late rates. There is hardly so much doing in silks, prices remaining stationary. Nothing of import ance was done in brown nets. ROCHDALE, 26th.—With the apprcach of cold weather there is an increase in the demand for flannel, and manufacturers have no difficulty in getting quit of their products, though prices keep creeping up. Rarely have the manufacturers been clearer of stock than they are at present, especially of middle and low priced goods, which were well sought up to-day, there being a good attendance of buyers. Yorkshire goods also sold well, as they have done for some time past, and the makers hold prices very firmly. The wool trade is moderately active, but the high prices demanded by the dealers check operations, and purchasers are made mostly for im mediate requirements.

The Secretary of State for War has received a Despatch from Lieutenant-General Cameron, C.B. Commandi ng the Troops in New Z ea l and, of which the' following is a copy Head -quarters, Queen's Redoubt, August 4. My Lord,—With reference to the reports I have for. warded to your lordship, relative to the operations in which the troops in this province have been engaged during th e past month, I beg to state that th e i r success has been owing in great measure to the valuable assistance rendered by Captain Sullivan, Senior Naval Officer at this station, and by the officers and men under his command. A large 'party of seamen and marines of her Majesty's ship Harrier have been encamped ou the bank of the M an gatwhiri river since the 11th ultimo, and their serv i ces have been of the greatest advantage to the force under my command, all the boats employed in conveying troops and supplies across to the Koheroa having been entirely manned by them, At my revest Captain Sullivan has superintended the construction of six large flat bottomed boats, especially adapted for the transport of troops up the Waikato. Tw o of these have been brought overland from Auckland, a dis tance of 35 miles, to the Mangatawhiri, where they have been extremely useful. Without the aid of such boats operations up the Wai kato could not be carried on, as there is no road on either bank of the river. Fur these services I am much indebted to Captain Sulli van, as well as fur his cordial co-operation on all other occasions since the commencement of hostilities. I have also to acquaint your Lordship that the small colonial steamer Avon was brought into the Waikato from the Manukau by Commander Mayne, of her Majesty's ship Eclipse, and is now at anchor off the Bluff Stockade, at Havelock. In reporting to Captain Sullivan the perform ance of this important and hazarcous duty, Commander Mayne speaks highly of the assistance ho received from Captain Greaves, Acting Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster- General, by whom the lower part of the river was surveyed last summer. In justice to Captain Greaves, who is a most zealous and talented officer, I beg to forward Captain Sullivan's letter regarding his services on this occasion. The Avon is the first steamer that has ever been brought into the Waikato, as it was supposed, previous to the stir_ vey made by Captain Greaves, that the numerous shoals in. the lower part of its course rendered the passage of a steamer impossible. The Avon con carry 200 men ; her bulwarks have been made bullet-proof, and she is armed with a 12-pounder Armstrong gun. 1 have not doubt she will be of great service in our ope• rations up the Waikato.—l have, etc., D. A. CAMERON, Lieutenant-General. The Right. Hon. the Secretary of State for War. Banks of Mangatawhiri, July 27. Sir, —I have the honour to infor m y ou that the Colonial steam vessel Avon has this day arrived at Havelock, and is now ready for any service in which she can assist you. Commander Mayne, to whom I had confided the task of bringing the Avon from the Manukau into the Waikato, a river hitherto considered navigable only for canoes, in his report to me, thus speaks of the valuable assistance rendered by Capt. Greaves, Deputy- Assistant Quartermaster-Geno - ral Capt. Greaves, Deputy-Assistantt is Qu o a w rt i e i r g niti t s o te h r ig General, accompanied the vessel, and i knowledge of the river and unflagging energy that the ser vice was accomplished so successfully; he preceded the vessel the whole way, sounding and showing the channel ;" and it is with pleasure I seize this opportunity of tendering him ' through you, my hearty th an k s f or his valuable aid. —I have, &c., J.
