ONEY MA E T AND COILIMPECIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday closed Imvily, but without alteration in prices. Sales about 6,000 bales, of wbiuli 590 were tlken for , ex- P‘Jrt, and 500 bales on speculation. Pernam and Maranbam sold at sp. to 60., and Surat at lid. Per lb. Railway Shares w. re quiet, but firm. Vhe following report upon the Indigo auctions 1 'ust commenced is furnished by Messrs. H. W. Jewesbury and Co. : "The quarterly sales of Maim:, commence this d'ay, consisting of 13,025 chests (including 5,380 chests of Old goods bought in at, or withdrawn from, former sales, and 1,016 cliestic in second hands), comprising the fol lowing, viz.:—Catalogue A-8,460 chests Bengal, Oude, (te„ 1.414 ehelfts• Madras, 1,327 chests Kurpah,. 45 chests BimlapaLam, 86 chests 8 lem, 10 chests Calcutta fig, 110 eliestn Pondecherry, 6 chests Java, 3 chests Carracca, 5 chests manufactured like refined, 329. chests withdrawn, 2?t4 lots warehouse sweepings. Catalogue B-1.016 chests various, in second hands. Total -13,025 chests. The qualities of Bengal are about one third good arid fine, and two-thirds middling and ordi nary • the Madras one-fifth good and fine, four-fifths middling trel ordinary ; the Kurpah one-fourth good an'd fine and three-fourths middling and ordinary ; the Burn lapis am, ordinary and very ordinary ; the Salem, xniddliti g to good, with a few ordinary ; the Oude, ene• third gt ~otl and fine and two-thirds middling and ordi nary ; the few chests Java, fine. Previous to the com mence, uent of the sale several parcels were withdrawn, includi ng the first 41 chests. The sale then opened with a , parcel of middling and ordinary Ma dras, which, howe• ler, was mostly withdrawn, only here and there a Eingl s lot selling. After this followed some middling and ordinary Bengal, which sold at an advance of 10d. to I .e. per lb. on last sale's rates. The high advancethus est 'wished shows the firmness of importers, but has caused th a sale to go flatly, though firmly. The trade appears to , be not yet prepared to pay this advance, and have eerefore bought cautiously. Bengal is 10d to is per lb. nigher, Madras, 3d to 6d higher, and Kurpah 6d to 8d higher. The attendance of buyers was•moderate.. 1333 chests have passed to-day, , of which 602 chests were with drawn. 300 chests bought m, leaving 431 chests sold. The following are the highest and lowest prices :L -444 elite. Bengal, Oude, (to.; from 2s 5d to 7s 5d per lb. 149 Madras is 4d to 3s 10d 138 Kurpah 24 Od to 4s 7d 602 - Withdrawn. 1333 1G extra lots warehouse sweep ugs The arrivals of ships in the Thames from abroad yesterday were 12, and 90 colliers came ill. Information has been received that the steamer Queen of the'. South had arrived at the Cape de Verd. Islands, Sept. 23. The ship r.elliam, which left Sydney May 28, brings 2,684 ounces of gold. The steamer. Pacific, with New York accounts of Sept. 30, describes the stock market as being bet ter and money. easier. One of the latest reports states : "The Abingdon Bank has declared a semi-annual dividend of $4 per share, payable on Monday next. The Quincy Stone Bank pays a semi-annual dividend of 4.1, per cent., OcLober 5. The Springfield banks have de clared the following dividends, payable aitober 2 : Springfield 4 per cent., Chicopees, Agawam 4, Western 4, John Hancock (for three months only) 2, Pynchon 6. The John Hancock paid a dividend of 3 per cent. in July, when its capital stock was enlarged. The others are semi-annual dividends, save the Pynchon, which is for ten month s, or since it began operations ; and in addition, this leank returns a net surplus of profits of 5 per cent. on its capital. Railroad Bank, Lowell, 4 per cent. "Reading vas the firmest railroad stock on the list to-day, and th e transactions were very large. Within the past few days the stock market has wonderfully im proved in tom), Tue movements now are more regular, and the operations on time, seller's and buyer's option, do not exhibit those extremes we have so recently re corded. An (3ighth or a quarter per cent. is now about the difference between cash sales and those on sixty days, buyer's or seller's option. This shows the abund ance and cheapness of money in Wall-street on such se curities, and is rather an encouraging feature." Tb ere 'was no change of moment in the rates at which bills oi! exchange were yesterday afternoon auo ted on the principal cities of the Continent. -Pazie,.9o days,was at 25 35 to 40 ; Amsterdam, at 11 18 to 18 ; Hamburgh, at 13 7to7i ; Trieste, 'll4Bat to 5 U ; and Frankfort, at 119. There is no demand for silver at present. The English Stock Market has been more ani mated, and the resumption of business in many of the securities for which the transfer books have been closed has occasioned a greater amount of money dealing. Consols have realised 95 to for transfer, and 95 for account. The New 3 per Cents. have been . '94i to ex dividend, and the 3 per Cent. Annuities 931- to 94k. The Long Annuities have been 4i to 415-16. Exchequer mills have beim 4s. to' 7s. premium. Foreign stocks are also rather livelier. Spanish 3 pet' Cents. bring . 37f, the Deferred mg, and the Passive 44. The. Committee's Certificate has been at 5k to 1 pr.tm.- The Turkish Scrip has been 3 to 31 preM. . Venezuela Bonds have been 101. Mexican Stoc kis 24i to 25, and Brazilian 98k to '99. Dutch I3onds are nominal. The follow:mg are the nominal prices of foreign :stocks :—Gre made Deferred Bonds, 5t to 6k ; Mexican, 24 to 25 ; Peruvian, 71 to 73 ; ditto 3 Cents., 51 to. 53 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 40 to 42 ; ussian 5 per Cents., 95 to 97 ; ditto 4i per Cents., 84 to 86 ; Spanish New Deferred, 181 to 18 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 371 to 38 ; ditto Certifi cates, 5 to-4 ; ditto Passive, 4g- to 4. There is vt try little doing in Railway Shares; but most lines are at a slight advance. The French Shares also tttnd upwards, and the Paris and Lyons are about 1/. higher. In .Mining, Banking, and :the Miscellaneous Shares the dealings are trifling. Crystal Palace keep steady. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.—CLOSING PRICES , Prom, the ONlictt Liu. Bu bless done. 3 per Cent.

(Front the Manchester Guardian of this day.) ' MAticaus•rxn, Oct. 10. —ln the market of to-day, we have had a continuance of that dulness which so sod denly followed the factitious liveliness of the 10th ult. But the shock that was given to confidence by the ensuing occurrences has not been so strongly felt as it was in the middle and latter part of last week. Toe American advices are increasingly encouraging: in their accounts of the cotton crop. The prevailing esti mates of the yield exceed 3,000,000 bales. The yellow fever was so destructive at Charleston and Savannah as to have put a stop to business. The house . of Phipps, which had suspended payment at'New York, was one of old and high standing ; the amounts owing in Man chester are not, however, anything near so large as they were last week reported to be. ROCHDALE, Oct. 9.—The flannel market continues good and the demand steady, with little or no variation in price: Fine goods are those which are most inquired after. In the wool market there is no change worthy of notice : the manufacturers continue to buy for immediate use only. • HALIFAX, Oct. 7.—Fewer goods have changed hands in our Piece Hall to-day than last Saturday ; and there seems to be, on the part of the merchants, very little disposition to operate. Indeed, the present aspect of the commercial world is such as to induce great caution. The yarn market exhibits no new feature, either as regards demand or price ; and wools are quiet, with the quotations firm. CITY COMMISSION OF SEWERS. Mr. DAw, the chief clerk, said a communication bad been transmitted to,bim by the Chairman of the West London Union. relative to the •alleged nuisance of the, 'City Gsa Works. Mr. T. H. HALL moved that the letter be referred to the medical officer, with instructions to report thereon. Referred accordingly. OFFAL EXPOSED FOE SALE IN WHITEOHAPEL MARKET. Mr. Deputy CEIRISTIR, having introduced a deputation of master butchers carrying on business in High-street, Aldgate, said he had to present a memorial signed by a number of the inhabitants of the ward of Portsoken, and he would shortly state the,reason why these gentle men attended. Some time since the commissioners, in carrying into effect measures of a sanitary nature, had considered it necessary to issue an order to the trade of butchers, requiring them to remove from their slaughter houses all offal before 8 o'clock in 'the morning: He (De puty Christie) had reason to believe that the butchers in High-street, Aldgate, had cheerfully complied with the desire of the commissioners, and bad obeyed their in structions, except with respect to one single article. They killed a large number of sheep and lambs, and conse quently had a large quantity of one description of offal, namely paunch, which, for a great many years, they had made a source of very large profit. Their custom was to hare large tanks. of clean - water, in which the paunches were kept, a few only at a time being taken out and exposed for sale, at their doors, as wholesale toed for dogs. They had not complied with the part of, the order of the commission which related to this species of offal, because they did not think that the sale of that which was to them a source of large profit should be in terfered with, and consequently one of . the inspectors had summoned some of the memorialists before a magis trate. The memorial was read by the clerk. The memorialists, in answer to questions put by the court, said that it was their custom to keep paunches after emptying them, 24 hours, that the water in the tanks were changed twice a day, that they were tho roughly cleansed before being exposed for sale. Deputy CERISTIE moved that the memorial be re ferred to the : general purposes committee, to consider and report thereon, which, After some further discussion, was carried. OBJECTIONABLE MEAT. Mr. BOWSER, a wholesale meat salesman in Newgate market, said he attended for the purpose of preferring a complaint against Mr. Pocklington, one of the inspec tors of meat, whom he charged with, on some occasions, condemning and seizing carcasses that were wholesome, and on others with overlooking those that were not fit for human consumption. Mr. PocKuNGTox, idinsWer to the charge, said the carcass which he had seized was in a very bad state indeed, in some places being perfectly green, and that his judgment was corroborated by four of the' most respectable salesmen in the market, some of whom had been appealed to to examine the camas% by Mr. Bunser himself. Mr. DQNSER admitted that he had received a letter from the farmer who sent the carcass, to the effect that the bullock had been ill,•and that his man, after having administered a pound of Epsom salts to it without the desired effect, bad killed it and forwarded it to London for sale. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said that the officer bad done himself infinite credit for the way in which he bad acted. It was perfectly clear that be bad discharged his duty fearlessly and honestly, and it was not to be endured that animals on the point of death from disease should be slaughtered and forwarded to the London markets for sale. The subject theta dropped. MARKET NEWS-(TEI - 1S DAY.)

BALAKLAVA, Sept. 27.—You will scarcely be more surprised than we are ourselves at the English army being here, in possession of a perfect seaport and new basis of operations for both armies. On leaving the hiVOuac south of the ICatcha I river, we marched to `ithe • river Belbeck, through the village of the same name. It is extraordinary that the Russians should not have attempted to stop us at either place, for there are stronger posi tions oven than on the Alma; but the Russians are s completely cowed by our, brilliant victory, in which they own to a loss of 6,000 or . 7,009 men, that we may venture upon acts and movements. that could not be done without madness under other circumstances. As for their far-famed Cossack cavalry, we have scarcely seen 100 of them. The French admiration of our attack and advance in line continues, and is only exceeded by the astonish ment of the. Russian officers, prisoners, whom we have since seen. A French officer remarked to me two days . ago that it was troy ma jestueux: I certainly do not wonder at the Russians not_ at- tenipting to meet us on the open field, after seeing how we could march againstthem in an intrenched position. The battle-field was dreadful to walk over in the evening and following day ; -battle ! , ended too late for us to remove even our own wounded that day, -and the fearful spectacle of heads blown off, shattered limbs, broken arms, the groans and sighs of the wounded, altogether made a scene I never wish to see again. I have a few trophies in the shape of brass plates representing the double eagle worn on the helmet of all regi ments of the line ; their 31st and 32d Regiments were the two more immediately opposed to us. "To continue our march. The day before yester day (Sept. 25), having had a-false alarm during the night of an approach of the Cossacks, we were under arms at 5 o'clock, ready for a move. A recon naissance was made towards the Inkerman Lights, with the view of finding a crossing practicable for the army. Colonel Alexander only found a single causeway over a morass, and a bridge over the river with a force on the opposite side. Lord Rag lan, with Sir. J. Burgoyne's advice, then deter mained upon one of the boldest link marches, per haps ever performed in the face of an enemy. The whole country between the Belbeck and-the Teller naya, which runs into the Sebastopol inlet, is covered with one uninterrupted extensive jungle or forest, intersected by no road but that leading towards Sebastopol, and another narrow one on which it would have taken perhaps days for a large army to advance. We received orders to march south-south-east, through this forest, in order to strike the high road from Simpheropol, nearKhutor Mackenzie. Our guides led us in too southerly a direction, towards the end of the valleys near the Inkernaan Lights, upon which we had to make a flank movement towards Khutor Mackenzie. The wood was so thick that the men could hardly see each other ; not only did men of the same brigade get mixed together, bnt Highlanders and Gnarls, Guards and line, formed for an hour an apparently - inextricable mass of confusion. In the midst of it we heard firing and several rounds of cannon in Our front, just where we were wanted to go. We continued our march, however, 'and soon found that the cause of the firing was the Scots Greys, and some of our artillery in advance coming upon the. high road nearKhutor Mackenzie, where they intercepted is Russian army of some say 15,000 men and a large convoy of provisions and ammuni tion. The party of Greys were only 20 strong, but so cowed wore the Russians and taken by sunrise, that half their army cut off towards Simpheropol, the rest to Sebastopol. We all came out of tlle wood about two or half-past two, at the very spot whore this took place. Every waggon was de- I stroyed, the flour given up to out men, powder scattered, cartridges destroyed, camp equipments thrown over thepreci pipes, clothing, accoutrementS, barrels, and articles of every description strewn along three miles of xoad, along which we marched towards the bridge over the Tchernaya. The whole appearance of the road was more like the result of a battle than anything else. Their army, iu short, was cut in two, • so divided that, they must have spread terror and increased the already great demoralisation of the Russian forces, both in Sebastopol and in other parts of the CriMea. After halting at this spot for an hour and a half to rest the men after their fatiguing forest march, we continued along the high road to the bridge across the Tchernaya, a march of six or seven miles further, leading to Balaklava, and we reached our bivouac at half-past 8 p.m., having been under arms more than 14 hours. The nett morning early we pushed on towards Bala ! klava, and halted at the entrance of the pass. The Rifles were sent forward to crown the -heights •on each side of the bay, supported by a brigade of the I Light Division ; on each side also; these again were supported by the two brigades of the Ist: - Division, the Guards going to. the right and the Grenadier Guards taking possession of the village of Radakoi. Hero they remained while the Rifles and Artillery I attacked the • small -post,- -which is of • very little strength—an old ruined Genoese . castle. A few shells soon brought them to reason, and the white flag was hoisted. Lord Raglan had a. very narrow escape, for on, first turning au angle of the road with all his staff, a shell from the fort'flew among them and wounded one of the staff. When this • little affair was settled, the troops retired, except two companies of the Grenadier Guards, who were sent to protect the houses of the inhabitants and small town of Balaklava. So little did the Rus sians expect us, that the wives and children of many officers who are . in Sebastopel had gone there for safety. The harbour is quite landlocked, with rocky and very precipitous hills on each side, but so deep that even the Agamemnon steamed in this • morning. • " When we were at our Belbeck bivouac, and it was decided we should come on and take this place, young Maxse was sent back to the mouth of the Katcha, where the fleet was lying. Having to ride through the country which we had crossed, he only toolca verbal message from Lord Raglan, for fear of his falling into the hands of the Cossacks. He reached the fleet at 4 yesterday morning, and before 12 the •fleet was off Balaklava. BALAKLAVA, Sept. 28. My Lord Duke,--1 have the greatest satisfaction in acquaintineyour grace that the army under my command obtained, possession of this important place on the 26th instant, and thus established a new and secure base for our future operations. The Allied Armies quitted their position above the Alma on the morning of tho 23d, and moved across the Katcha, where they halted for the night, and on the following day passed the Belbeck. It then appeared that the (mealy had established a work, which commanded the entrance of the river, and debarred its use for the disembarkation of troops, provision, and Materiel ; and it became expedient to ,consider whether the lino of attack upon the ,north side should not be abandoned, and another course of operation adopted.. It having, after due deliberation, been deter mined by Marshal St.'Arnaud and myself, that we should relinquish our communication with the Katcha, and the hop© of establishing it by the Belbeck v and endeavour by a flank march to the left to .go round Sebastopol and • seize Balaklava, the mevement..was commenced on the 25th, and completed Onthe following day by the capture of this place by her Majesty's troops, which led the ad vance. The march Was attended with great diffi culties: On leaving the high road from the Belbeck 'to , Sebastopol, the Army had to traverse a dense wood, in whiCh there was but one road that led in the direction it was necessary to take. That road was left in the first instance •to the Cavalry and Ar tillery and the divisions were ordered to march by compass and make a way for themselves as well as they could ; and, indeed, the Artillery of the Light Division Pursued the same course as king. as it was found to be possible, but, as the wood became more impracticable; the batteries could slot proceed other- Wise than by getting into the road above men- tinned. The head-quarters of the Army, followed by seve ral batteries of 'Artillery, were the first to clear the forest, near what is called, in Major Jarvis's map, Mackenzie's Farm, and at once found themselves on the flank and rear of a Russian division, on the march to Bashi-Serai. :This was attacked as soon as the cavalry, which had diverged 'a little ,into a bye and intricate path, could be brought up. A vast- quantity of ammu nition and much valuable baggage fell into our hands, and the pursuit was discontinued after about a mile and a half, it being a great object to reach the Tochernaya that evening. The Russians lost a few men, and some prisoners were. taken, amongst whom was a Captain of , Artillery. The march was then resumed by the descent of a steep and difficult defile into the plains, through which runs the Tichernaya river, and this the cavalry succeeded in reaching shortly before dark, followed in the course of the night by the Light, - Pint, Second, -and Third Divisions ; the Fourth Division having been left on the heights above the Belbeck till the following day, to maintain our com munication with the Katcha. . This march, which took the enemy quite by sur prise, was a very long and toilsome one, and, ex cept . at M.ackenzie's Farm, where two wells, yield ing a scanty supply, Were found, the troops were without water, but they supported their fatigues - and privations with the utmost cheerfulness, and resumed their march to this plaCe on the morning of the 26th. As they approached Balaklava nothing indicated that it -was held in force ; but as resistance was offered to the advance of the Rifle Brigade, and guns were opened from an old" castle, as the head of the column showed itse lf on .the road leading 1 There is this very peculiar feature about the into the 'town, I deemed' it prudent to occupy the , , action—that 'we had the very thing to do which two flanking heights by the Light Division and we alone could have done, and that the ,French a portion of : Captain Brandling's troop of Horse had to do work for which they were particularly Artillery on the left; movements 'terminated •by I suited.

'I saw one of the 32d Regiment on the, field just after the fight. He was shot right thrall :t ill - he head, and the brain protruded in large masses at the back of the head. and front the front of the skull. I saw with my. own eyes the wounded man raise his hand, wipe the horrible mass front his brow, and proceed to struggle down the hills. to wands the water I Many of the Russians were shot it three or four places ; few of them had only one w mind. They seemed to hare a general idea that they would be murdered : possibly they had been told that no quarter would be given, and several deplorable events took place in consequence. As our me.a were passing by two or three of them were shot or stabbed by men lying en the ground, and the cry wa raised that " the wounded RuSsians" were firing on our men. It was a terrible and sickening sight to go over the battle-field.. Till deprived of my horse by a chance shot, I rode about to ascertain, as far as possible, the loss of our friends, and in doing so I was often brought to a standstill by the difficulty of getting through the piles of wounded Russians, mingled too often. with our own poor soldiers. The hills of Greenwich park, in fair time are not more densely covered with human - beings than were the heights of the Alma with dead and dying. On these bloody mounds 2,10 English Officers and men, and upwards of 3,000 Russians, while 'their western extremity was coVerecl with the bodies of 1,400 gallant Frenchmani and of more than 3,000 of their foes. . • The attitudes of some of the dead were awful.

Another lay in a per fect arch, his head reacting on one part of the ground and his feet ou the other, but the back raised high above it. Many men without legs or arms were trying to crawl down to the waterside. Some of the dead lay with a calm, placid smile on the face, as thOugh they were in some delicious dream. SCUTARI, Sept. 28.--Wo have got to Scutari at last, but I thought we should not have brought any men at all, as the men kept during the voyage quickly dying of, their wounds ; there were only three surgeons on board to dress and look after 600 men. My dear fellow, E, ngland has a great deal to answer for, in not ;►aving sufficient medical men to attend the wounded soldiers who risked their lives and bled for their country's honour. I never had my arm looked at by a doctor from the day I received the wound till yesterday ; but, thank God, from previous experience, I was able to look after it myself, and the wounds of others also. During our stay on 'board the ship many a bright man lost his life through want of medical attendance ; we throw about 80 or 100 overboard coming down the Black Sea, but it is just as bad at Scutari. We 'disembarked on the 26th, and we have had.meither tea, rations, nor anything except lb. of bread. There was a'draft of 300 men to have sailed to day for the Crimea, but it was countermanded.
