MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INT ELL ra ENCE. CITY, TWO o'CLOCK The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 6,000 bales, including 1,000 American taken for export and on speculation. The market closed tamely, without alteration in prices. The sales comprised 5,000 American, 70 Pernam and Maranham at 51d. to 6id., 30 Bahia at 6id., 200 Egyptian at 51-d. to 7id., and 800 Surat at 3d. to 4d. per lb. Railway Shares were firm. Wheat is up again to-day, making the rise Bs. to 10s. per quarter. The new stamp duties on foreign bills are yield ing largely to the revenue. One firm paid on Sa turday as much as 1,7001. The Indus, with the rest of the Overland Mail, has arrived at Southampton, and her letters have been delivered. A telegraphic despatch, dated yesterday, from Berlin, states that at St. Petersburg, on the 22d inst., accounts, dated the 15th and 16th October, from the Crimea had reached that place, sent by Prince Menschikoff, in which it is mentioned that the Allies had succeeded in raising their batteries, but that the Russian artillery was so excellently placed as to have prevented their opening fire up to that date. This is later news than we have yet had by any other opportunity. Freights do not rise, although there are fewer ships being p.t upon the berth for Australia.

Her letters are not yet in town. The Speedy, which left Sydney July 11, brings 12,576 ounces of gold. The New York accounts, brought by the steamer Hermann, state there was rather more activity in public stocks at the latest date, but the quotations were fluctuating. Money was in more request, and the large exportation of specie would ctiuse contrac tion on the part of the banks, as it was much in excess of the receipts. In about a month, how ever, it is considered the money market would be come easier. The exchange on England was de clining, and shortly regular semi-monthly arrivals would take place from San Francisco. Flour had an improved tendency, cotton was steady, and freights, since the arrival out of the Canada, ruled firmer. The dry goods trade was rather more ac tive, and the prices realised were higher, except for German sorts, which went off heavily. The English Stock Market has been rather firm, although not active, but the further advance of 4s. to ss. in the price of wheat, making Bs. to 10s. since last Monday, has some effect in checking an im provement in the funds. Money in the discount market is reported to be easy. Consols bane realised 941 to 941' for transfer, and 94/ for account. The New 3/ per Cents. have been quoted 93i to 93i, and the 3 per Cents. 93/ to A. Bank Stock has been supported at 211, and East India Stock at 232.

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 23, iBb4 . AtiK ET NE WS-(THIS DA Y.) CORN EXCHANGE. The supplies of wheat on sale in most of the country markets held on Saturday wore but moderate. The de mand was active at an advance of from 5s to 103 per quar ter. Barley sold briskly at from is to 2s more money. Oats, beaus, peas, and flour were dearer, with an active inquiry. The new continental markets have been inactive, and the quotations have had an upward tendency. The latest &dykes from New York state that there was more doing in wheat and flour, and that prices showed a tendency to ad van ce. _ _ Very moderate supplies of English grain came to hand last week. The imports from abroad amounted to only 6,065 quarters of wheat, 1,840 barley, 6,856 oats, 4,323 beaus, 1,163 peas, 64 tares, 16,106 linseed, I,434.rapeseed, 45 mustard seed, and 482 sundry seeds. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market to-day were but moderate, yet their general quality was good. The stands were rather scantily supplied with scruples, as the whole of the supply changed hands on Fri day ; hence, as the country markets come very high, and as the attendance of millers was large, the demand for all descriptions was very brisk, at an advance iu the prices obtained on Monday last of from 8s to 10s per quarter. For forward delivery, even higher rates were demanded by the growers. With foreign wheat we were but moderately supplied. As millers generally are short of stock, and as consumption is increasing, a very active business was transacted, at from 7e to 10s per quarter above the rates current on this day se'nnight. The few floating cargoes off the coast were held at very ligh rates. The show of both English and foreign barley was com paratively small, and the trade was brisk, at fully 2s per quarter above last week's quotations. There was more doing in malt, the prices of which had an upward tendency The oat trade was brisk, at a rise of quite is per quarter. For beans we had en active inquiry at 2s per quarter more money. The sale for peas was active at an improvement of 2s per quarter. The flour trade was active and prices were on the ad vance. • CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The supply of foreign stock in to day's market was com paratively small, and in very inferior condition. From our own grazing districts there was a decided falling off in the arrivals of beasts, at least two-thirds of which were beneath the middle quality, indeed this was one of the worst supplies we almost ever witnessed. The attendance of buyers being good, the beef trade ruled brisk, at an advance in the quotations of fully 2d. per 81bs. The pritnest lots sold freely at ss. per 81bs. The receipts of beasts troin Lincolnshire, Leicester shire, and Northamptonshire, amounted to 1,800 short horns ; from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 20 horned and polled Scots. There was a decrease in the supply of sheep • neverthe less, the demand for all broods was in a sluggishl state, at last Monday's currency. We were rather scantily supplied with calves, for which the inquiry was inactive, and, in some instances, the quo tations had an upward tendency. The top figure was 4s. 81. per Blbs. The sale for pigs was steady, on former terms. Last week's import of foreign stock into London was very moderate—the total supply amotriting to 3,289 head. In the corresponding week in 1853 we received 8,787; in 1852, 10,068; in 1851, 6,688; in 1850, 9,330; in 1849, 6,527 ; iu 1818, 4,301; and in 1847, 4,980 head. IMPORTS INTO LONDON LAST WEEK.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) The above Court reEumed its sittings this morning before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Right Hon. the Recorder, Aldermen Hunter, Sir C. Marshall.land Kennedy, Mr. Sheriff Crosley, Mr. Sheriff Muggeridge, Mr. Under•sheriff Crosley, Mr. Under-sheriff Farrar, &c., &c. There are 103 prisoners for trial. The Recorder, in his charge to the Grand Jury, con gratulated them upon the fact, that the calendar for the present session did not contain a single charge of mur der, and that, with a few exceptions, the cases were of the ordinary description, and not likely to present any legal difficulties in the consideration of them. There was one case of manslaughter, in which a woman was charged with killing a child ; and it appeared that, in a transport of jealousy, she bad made a violent blow at a woman who had the,child in her arms, but missed her and struck the child, and the blow caused its death. Under these circumstances, the prisoner was guilty of an illegal act in striking at the woman—and such was the conse quence. If the facts were made out to their satisfaction, it would be their duty to find a bill for a manslaughter. There was another case, of a very painful and pecu liar character, where a gentleman of station and family, and a clergyman of the Church of England, was charged with shooting at a very valuable member of the bar of that Court, and upon the floor of the Court, and in the presence of those who were now addressing them. He believed the only ques tion that could arise was as to the state of mind of the unfortunate gentleman at the time the act was com mitted, but with that the grand jury had nothing to do, and the only course they could take was to find the bill. There was also a charge against a Roman Catholic clergyman, a gentleman of position and education, of having infringed the provisions of the Dissenters' Mar riages Act, which required that no marriage of that character should take place except in the presence of the registrar and in the chapel. In the case in question it was alleged that the marriage was solemnised in the vestry, and that the registrar was not present, and if these facts were made out it would be their duty to re turn a true hill. His lordship concluded by referring to the charge of sending diseased meat for sale to the Lon don market, and ho remarked that although there might be some doubt as to the intent of the parties in the pre sent instance, yet ,as the question involved was one of considerable importance to the public, he thought it would be better that they should find a bill in order that the matte: might be fully inquired into. The grand jury then retired. MINING INTELLIGENCE.

Both on Saturday and Tuesday a flattish tone generally prevailed in the cloth halls, and only a limited business was done. But there have been considerable deliveries direct at the merchants' ware houses. We have no change to report in the state of the trade in the warehouses ; a steady seasonable busi ness has been done during the current week, principally for the home market. HUDDERSFIELD, Oct. 17.—Business to-day was at A still lower ebb than in former weeks. Just now there seems to be a general flatness in trade, which begins to be felt in the surrounding villages and hamlets. Fancy vestings are in very low demand ; the woollens keep the superiority. In reference to wool, we may expect as alteration till after the sales, which are just at hand. RocliDaLic, Oct. 16.—The market for wool was rather flat, purchasers being wishful to make bargains at lower prices than the rates prevailing. The amount of busi ness done was comparatively small. BRADFORD, Oct. 19.—Purchases are made sparingly, hut there is no accumulation of stocks in staplers' hands. The farmers seek prices that cannot be give❑ here, and this withholding of stock keeps prices firm. Pieces — There is no improvement in the demand and no disposition to make goods for stock. The necessity of still further curtailment in our operations suggests it self as the only safe course. HALIFAX, Oct. 14.—We had a very dull business in the piece market, and prices inclined to be worse. In the yarn trade the transactions may be considered mode rate, but late rates are not well sustained. Wools have been exceedingly flat this week, and both combing and clothing descriptions rather give way.. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

He was caught by the wheel while he was doing this, and whirled round the machinery 40 or BO times, during which his right arm and left log were bat tered off, and such was the force of the knacks that till( poor man's limbs sustained, that the slates on the roo f were broken through. The engine-man happened to bi at hand and stopped the engine. The unfortunate ma: I only survived the accident about three hours. Leed crcury. SPORTING NOTES. THE C..kItfiIIIDGESHIRE STAKES. j" A bt a :ic of prejta iim—made up of likings and 1 disliking&,, The conflicting rumours which are circulated at New market—the movements and counter-movements which ; are hourly made in the "Ring," and the "Kiddings" for and against certain animals are enough to perplex and confuse the most 'cute and experienced turff tacti cian. To determine the tendency of speculation would puzzle a conjuror. At my present writing Orinoco is the favourite, albeit the probability exists that he will again retire before the advance of Rattle. These horses, i indeed, are operated upon in a somewhat suspicious I style, and au opinion obtains that one of them is virtu ally a dead 'en. Whether this opinion be well-founded or not, however, remains to be seen. In my notes on i Saturday, I stated that circumstances might induce me i t , substitute Rattle for one of the three animals which I j then selected against the fiell, and from the facts which 1 1 have recently came to ray k nowledge I am induced to atrike Orinoco out 4f my good books, and place Rattle there in his stead. Rattle went a rousing gallop this morning ; his style of going and general appearance were sufficient to sustain the most sanguine expectations of his most s it.iiirie supporters. If lam not misinformed Flatman will ride Lim. Orinoco seems a mystery. Whilst in tic Subscripticn Room this evening 4 to 1 was loudly offered on the field, whilst . 300 even was offered on Rattle against Orinoco. Parties who had paid no heed to these public offers, quietly took 4 to I in ponies and in fifties about Orinoco. Still, too, fifty even was betted that Orinoco will not be one of the first three! The game which is intended to be played is, I admit, beyond my ken. I have not yet discovered the little pea, although I expect it will turn up with Rattle. The prejudice which exists against Soherz is not very yietlent among the know-ails of Newmarket ; among the terai,;ng fraternity, in particular, the horse is somewhat popular. He galloped this morning to the evident satis faction of his friends. The origin of the adverse move ment against him is variously described. Some people state that he is short of work, others that he has recently been coughing badly. The main cause of his retrogression in the betting is said to he very curious ; Birbeck, the jockey who rode him for the Cesarewitcb, was on Saturday seen to ride up the street, booted and spurred. Touts immediately jimiped at the conclusion that he • was about to try Scher; and were, of course, eagerly on the look-out. The trial was watched. Birbeck, it was said, rode a bay horse, which was beaten. This bay horse was by the touts thought to be Scherz, and the precious news was without delay sent through the telegraph to London, and, in fact, to all parts of the kingdom. Scherz, how ever, was not in the trial, and the bay horse which Bir beck rode belonged to Lord Exeter. The partiality which I entertain for Schema I have ne wish to disguise. I deem him a competitor of formidable pretensions, but his comparatively heavy weight induces me to hesi tate before placing implicit confidence in his chance. Hervine is in considerable force. Her running with Orestes—if correct—is alone sufficient to justify the fevourable opinion which has been formed of her. I, however, am inclined to believe that Orestes, when he met her at Chantilly, was out of all form. Newmarket Subscr:ption Room, 12 o'clock p.m., October 22. Quince has been knocked out of the market. The shin' of support which was got up for him on Saturday has produced little effect. Both Nabob and Little Harry wi'l go for the "off chance." Little Harry will, I ex pect, run a good horse, and if the distance were a quar ter of a mile longer, I should not deem his chance insig nificant. By the way, Miss Sellon, a mare that has re csutly run in a Welter race at Chester, is spoken of as being likely to prove another Truth. At ono time, I know, people who were connected with her f incied she had a chance for the Chester Cup this Tear. That Ulu Sellon is "in" well enough, few people will deny. Of the outsiders, however, my only strong liking is for Helena, with whom John Osborne thinks he can win. This mare has displayed racing qualities of a superior stamp, and must not be slightingly regarded. Before, however, " summing up " the probabilities, I will en deavour to indicate the horses likely to muster at the post. The field will be selected from the following—the doubtful starters are printed in italics : Age et lb Nebo's Little David 4 8 9 Orestes Age st lb Hervine & 7 0 Khadidjah 5 6 13 Ethelwolf Caracara Tanthe Kennyside Hero 3 6 9 Speed the Plough 4 6 7 Eva The Assayer 3 6 7 St. Clare Quince Claret 3 5 10 Miss Sellon Stonehenge Little Harry 5 8 4 Rattle - 4 1 2 DerviB - 4, Onnoco (ino. 3 lb eltra) 4 7 10 Tim Deformed ~lalen:L . 4 7 7 Scherz Ca's-paw Nancy Plinio Minister 6 7 2 Oetiz via A'ooye I have pretty free] dieiL•in g s, Without furthei ly expressed my likings and • preamble, therefore, I shall that the result of the race state my deliberate opinion will be in favour of either • RATTLE or HELENA. This conclusion, so far as Rattle is concerned, is, in my opinion, justified by the running for the Cssarewitch. Scherz I shall reserve merely as a "cock-boat," because the movements "respecting him place him under suspicion. Little David, Little Harry, and Heroine I should be inclined to back for a place could I get what Donald would call good•looking odds about them. The 200 sovs. Handicap on Wednesday seems a "good thing" for Habena. Graeculug Esuriens is in bad odour. He will not do battle fur the Glasgow Stakes, and his Derby backers are apparently inclined to "get out" at any price. The Glasgow will doubtless be won by Claret. Oulston will carry off the 50 sovs. Sweepstakes, and Ivan will, I fancy, beat The Trapper for the Han dicap Across the Flat. A Manchester Tout, who was entrusted with the execution of a large commission by the owner of Mus covite, has collected the money, but refuses to part with a dxpence. Ms conduct, however, has occasioned no surprise, but people are astonished by the fact of gentle me❑ appointin: such a fellow as their confidential agent. Thin matter, and certain little particulars relative to the scratching of Monie Moses and Early Bird, I must re serve for a future occasion. A FRESH MAN. SPOETING INTELLIGENCE.

A concise, yet ample, account is given of how and whence the chief supplies are derived, and much of the infor mation is somewhat astonishing to those who are not prone to dive into the leviathan statistics of " eating and drinkin g ." Aft er g i v i ng a v i v id description of Billingsgate and its traffic, the article informs us that— " A few years ago all the oysters were brought by water to Billingsgate ; but a short time since a great na tural bed, called the Mid Channel Bed, which stretches for forty miles between the ports of Shoreham and Havre, was discovered, and, the dredging -ground being free to all comers, a vast field of wealth has been opened to fishermen, especially as from the p rox i m i ty ' of the Briglitonait South Coast Railway the produce can te seat immediately to town, and escape the clues of metage and other tolls to which all fish landed at the market is liable. Seaborne oysters are thus placed at a great dis advantage, and the different companies owning them justly complain at a city exaction which takes a large sum annually out of their pockets, besides the.oharge for porterage it entails upon the purchasers. Mr. Alston, who is, without doubt, the largest oyster-fisher in the world, sent up last year between 40,000 and 50,000 bushels from his fishery Cheyney Rock, near Sheerness, and paid 8001. for metage. The whole trade paid no less than 3,0001., and this for services which their own men could do as well themselves, were it not fora custom which enforces idleness upon the smack people." Relative to herring fishing we learn that "up wards of three hundred square miles of net are cast by the fishermen of the Port of Yarmouth alone, every fine night of the season," and that above a billion of herrings are annually sent into the mar ket. The revellers in lobster salad—that popular accompaniment to the equally popular chorus of "We wont go home till morning"—may like to know where all the lobsters come from : " The lovers of this most delicious of the erns tacem tribe will probably be astonished to learn that they are mainly brought from Norway. France and the Channel Islands, Orkney and Shetland, do, it is true, contribute a few to the metropa• tan market, but fully two-thirds are reluctantly, and with much pinching and twisting, dragged out of the thousand rock-bound inlets which indent the Norwegian coast. They are conveyed alive in a screw steamer, and by smacks in baskets, sometimes to the extent of 20,000 of a night, to Great Grimsby, and are thence forwarded to town by the Great Northern Railway —another ten thousand arriving perhaps from points on onr own and the French coast. The fighting, twisting, blue-black masses are taken as soon as purchased to what are termed `the boiling-houses,' of which there aro four, :situate in Duck arid Love-lanes, close to the market, and here, for a trifling sum per score, they change their dark for scarlet uniforms. They are plunged into the boiling cauldron, basket and all, and in twenty minutes they are done." e e * * * LITERATUBB. ; "The lobster trade is mostly in the hands of one salesman, Mr. Saunders, of Thames-street, who often has upwards of 15,000 consigned to him of a morning, and who causes no less than 15,000/. a-year to flow into the fishy palms of Norwegians for this single article of commerce. Only think of the mountains of meat the Lon doners gnaw through, when we hear of about five hundred thousand beasts, more than two millions o f s heep, with calves and pigs to match, being annually devoured, without including country killed meat at Farriegdon and Whitechapel mar kets. The sterling value of this flesh amounts to fourteen millions. Then we receive six hundred thousand rabbits from Ostend, not mentioning the produce of our own warrens. Two millions of fowls come from Surrey and Sussex ; and the Aggregate quantity of poultry and game consumed Is something startling to th ose l a di es w h o fi n d t h e wineof a chicken" rather too much for them— in public. Tile account of Covent Garden market and its supplies is excellently rendered. Speaking of Cu cumbers, it is related by Mr. Cuthill that— _ ------- "He has seen as many as fourteen acres under han I glasses in a single domain, and has known 200,000 gherkins cut in a morning for the pickle merchants. Strangely enough they have refused to grow well around London ever since the outbreak of the potato disease." As regards rhubarb— " Rhubarb is almost wholly furnished by the London markeegardeners. It was first introduced by Mr. Miatt forty years ago, who sent his two eons to the Borough market with five bunches, of which they only sold three. From this time he continued its cultivation, notwith standing the sneers at w h a t were called his 'physic ' pies.' As he predicted, it soon became a favourite, and now hundreds of tons weight are sold in Covent Garden in the course of the year." Coming down to vulgar beer, perhaps some of our readers may be enlightened by the following anecdote touching our English nectar. " On countless sign-boards of the metropolis this last is advertised by the title of entire,' and it is thus that the liquid and its name arose. Prior to the year 1730, publicans were in the habit of selling ale, beer, and two penny, and the 'thirsty souls' of teat day were accus tomed to combine either of these in a drink called half and half. From this they proceeded to spin 'three threads,' as they called it, or to have their glass filled from each of the three taps. In the year 1730, how ever, a certain publican, named Horwood, to save him self the trouble of making the triune mixture, brewed a liquor intending to imitate the taste of the 'three threads, and to this he applied the term ' entire.' his concoction was approved, and being puffed as good por ters' drink, it speedily came to be called porter itself." The second paper i s on "Ch urc h B ells, " clever in.its detailed facts, and interesting in its poetic, legends relative to those "iron tongues of time." Dear Oliver Goldsmith, whose very name is musio to our ears, is made the subject of a lengthy article, which will be read with interest by all who are capable of appreciating " The Vicar of Wakefield," and " The Deserted Village." This is followed by some theological pages on " The Eclipse of Faith." For our own part, we think creeds and professions unfitting subjects for public disputations and we fear that the espousings and expoundings of the various schisms and " ism s " extan t , ar i se oftener from pride in man than reverence of God. The number winds up with some pleasant gossipping recollections of " Samuel Foote." There are a great many very familiar "Joe Millerisms " told us again, but there is much that is very amusing, and comparatively new. Foote was a rich humorist, a clever dramatist, a gay companion, applauded by his theatrical audiences, and flattered by lus table friends ; yet we find it stated that " he lies in the cloisters of Westminster Abbey without any memo rial either in stone or marble." The common fate it seems of those who " set the table i n a roar." "Alas ! Poor Yorick !" WAR AND FINANCE. The country is at present so intent upon the war in the Crimea, that it will not find time to attend to other considerations. But everything in England is a money question. And the state of the national finances cannot long be disregarded. Tilers is little doubt amongst many of the moat emi nent and right-judging of the London merchants and bankers, as well as amongst those scientific persons who have most deeply studied the monetary question, that but for the unlooked-for flow of an enormous amount of gold into this country from California and Australia, the state of the country, during the last year, would have been most calamitous. The efflux of gold to pay for corn would have necessitated a contraction of the cir culating medium by the Bank of England and the country bankers, and a panic worse than any we have yet witnessed, inasmuch as free trade would have facilitated the export of bullion, would have been the result. Any resistance to Russian aggression would have been, under such circumstances, out of the ques tion. Our sword must have slumbered peacefully in its scabbard, for the simple reason that we should have destinies of Europe have thus been made to been unable to pay the expense of drawing it.

At a time, therefore, when it is of the greatest import ance to this country to maintain that commercial prosperity which may keep up the revenue,. and enable the people to bear the increased and increasing burden of taxation, our whole financial system is dependent on the quantity of gold which we may be able to retain in the Bank coffers.
