110.1TEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

'made in the manufacturing districts during the past week has exhibited signs of increasing anima tion. It is true that not mach business was trans acted in Manchester, but this circumstance was due to the fact that manufacturers refused to take orders unless at high prices.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts were seasonably extensive, but their general quality was very middling. Prime breeds commanded a steady sale, at fully last Monday's currencies, the top figures being ss. per 81b. Second qualities of beef were steady, and quite as dear as last week; but inferior kinds were much neglected. In prices, however, no quotable change took plane. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

There was a moderate demand for most kinds of English wheat in the country markets held on Saturday, and no quotable change took place in prices. Malting barley, in some instances, commanded mote attention, but other ar ticles moved off slowly, at late rates. Advices from New York state that the trade for wheat and flour was firm, but that the export inquiry was much restricted. In maize, an extensive business was doing, at enhanced currencies. On the Continent, the corn trade generally is flat. SEEDS.. The supply of tares on sale was only moderate, yet the demand ruled inactive at late rates.

Fresh up to our market this morning the arrivals of English wheat were very moderate. For most qualities there was a fair demand, and a clearance was effected at the rates current on Monday last.

The supply of new malt was very small; but with old produce, the market was well supplied. The malt trade generally was dull, at about previous rates. The supply of foreign oats was very large. In the Eng lish, Scotch, and Irish produce the market was moderately supplied. The demand for all qualities ruled heavy, and, in some instances, prices further declined 6d per quarter.

The result of the primitive elections is by this time known .o you, at least as far as the towns are concerned. The voters have been unusually numerous, and the triumph of the Liberal Constitution party is undoubted. The Govern ment may gain a few votes in the remote country districts, where it has the support of the feudal liobereaux, and is better able to make its influence felt than in the cities and towns, where even its own functionaries virtually defy the pressure it fain would exercise. But I think you may rest assured that the next Chamber will have a compact Libe ral opposition of 300 members, and that the remaining 52 will by no means be all constant supporters of the present Government. A small compact' minority is all that has been ever hoped for by the most sanguine of the Ministerialists, and, were that obtained, M. von Bismark would, doubtless, present it exultingly to his So vereign, as a proof that the nation was recovering its sanity and as an earnest of better things to come. As it is, the Opposition press already registers a complete triumph, while the Ministerialists speak with bated breath. As anticipated, it is the Fortschritt party that will chiefly gain, but there is the less need to analyse the opposition, Since we know that, on the two main questions—freedom of the press and the necessity of having the budget voted by the Chamber —all shades of the constitutional party are agreed. It is seen with deep displeasure, although not altogether with asto nishment, that the King does not think it unbecoming to endeavour personally to influence the elections. You were informed of his words to the Burgomaster of Brefeld with respect to M. von Sybel, and of the letter which ho conde scended to write to the paltry village of Steingrund, by way of antidote to the reports that had been based on his interview with the King of the Belgians. There is a singu lar want of taste and tact in the persons who advise his Majesty in such matters. It was reported, quite falsely, as it happens, that certain words of King Leopold, at Baden, had produced a great effect, and that the Cabinet tottered. If it was deemed really necessary to dissipate the impres sion thus made, and which of itself would soon have died away, many ways might have been found of so doing, but certainly hardly a less appropriate or dignified one than that of a letter from the Sovereign to the bumpkins of Stein grund. The system, however, is persevered in. The papers publish a telegram sent by the King to a M. von Jena- Rettlebeck, who had applied to his Majesty to know whether the Upper President at Potsdam, M. van Jagow, Coun cillor Breithaupt, of Berlin, and Major Blucher, would be agreeable to him as candidates. The King replied that they were so, and authorised the publication of that declaration. As regards the course the Government means to adopt towards the Chamber, various conjectures are made, but nothing certain is known. It is generally believed, and with good appearance of reason, that the session will be extremely short, but the best opinions are to the effect that the King will not sanction a coup d'etat. Ministers cannot expect to get any thing out of the next Chamber which was refused to them by the last. What the Chamber itself ought to do will strike most Englishmen who have fol lowed the Prussian question. It ought to make up its mind to speak very little, and to act sharply and decidedly. A. leading member of the Opposition should at once move a strong vote of disapprobation of the ordinances of the Ist of June, declaring them illegal, and also a vote of censure on the Ministry. The Chamber should declare itself perma nently sitting until the committee had reported on the proposition, and zeturned it to the Plenum, which should then vote it at once. It is to be feared there is not much chance of this step or any tantamount one being taken There are so many persons in the Prussian Chamber who win speak in season and out of season, and so the discussion is unreasonably prolonged on an important matter which in reality demands only prompt decision, and the Ministers get time to manseavre. Few words and speedy resolves are what are now wanted on the part of the representatives of the Prussian nation. The more they talk the more they risk weakening the cause they uphold. There is believed to be no chance whatever of the King's seeing the error of bis ways, although he will hardly be got to the point to which some around him would fain impel him. As to M. von Bismark, there is no doubt as to what he desires. He is here reported and is g ener ally believed to have recently said that he hoped that in another year there would be no more constitution in Prussia. We are evidently making progress under the reign of th e P r i nce who, not quite five years, declared that " Prussia must make moral wise legislation at home, by ele conquests in Germany, by vating all moral elements, and seizing upon all elements o f union." His Royal Highness the Prince Regent thus ad dressed his Council of Ministers on the Bth November, 1858 :—" A rm, consistent, a n d , if needful, energe ti c po litical conduc fi t, coupled with prudence and circumspection, must procure to Prussia the political consideration and the power which she is not in a p o sition to obt a i n th rough her own material strength alone. Poor, indeed, is the perform ancethat has ensued upon these words of promise. Five gPtrih,n"cenowt ohn° ly s a p g o a k i e ns th t t e h m e trustin g solely to " material st e find th re e n years later we aggressions of foreign enemies or rivals, but against his own people and for his maintenance on th e throne of his an oestors. The difficulty about the command of the execution corps to be furnished by Saxony and Hanoverjointlyhaving been got over, as well as those which Hanover raised w i th regard to the simultaneous movement of the Prussian reserve, the said execution should, in ordinary routine, take place towards the end of November, or, at latest, some time in December. This would only be the logical consequence of what has taken place, and of the phasis in which the fair now finds itself. Nevertheless, politicians are evidently Unable to bring themselves to believe that the seemin g l y inevitabl e consequence will come to pass. have There b een so many slips between cup and lip in this interminable Schleswig_ Holstein question, that one has great difficulty in creditin g its approaching emergence from the intricacies of Di eta l discussions and the trammels of diplomatic notes. Mean while, one hears nothing more of the re p o rted new consti tution for Denmark which was to destroy the importance of the patent of the 30th March. The Berlin papers are still full of t he Leipsieration celebration, of the speeches made at the various ce r emonies and di nners, ' of the enthusiasm excited by the appearance of the veterans, and of the satisfactory manner in which the w h ole affair went off. As an interesting festival , the y may b e said to have reason for self-gratulation. The affair would probably have had more spirit, but for the wish to avoid m a k ing it a demonstration hostile to France. This was p erfectly sensible and proper, but it a little cramped the :eloquence of the patriotic speechmakers. Some of the song writers, persons of less mark and responsibility, felt th emselves less shackled, and one or two of their compositions reached my hands which might not give pleasure to the d efeated of Leipsic or their countrymen, in the improbable case of the poetry, for the most part very indifferent, ever reaching their h an d s . Th e F renc h wo uld be exceedingly wrong, however, to take offence at the demon strat ion , w hich was got up in no spirit of animosity to them, but as a politico,. liberal manifestation. It may, perhaps, alsobe considered to embody th e id ea o f res i s t an ce to foreign invasiun, but certainly not in an offensive way to any Fewer: Never.. theless, it seems to have irritated the chauvinism of so me o f the French journals, and the Opinions Nationale plainly intimates surprise at the Germans celebrating a battle in which they were beaten, although it certainly was followed by the evacuation of Germany by the French army. Whereupon a Frankfort paper remarks that it now per fectly comprehends how the Opinione Nationale can urge France to go to war single-handed with Russia, since there can exist no possible risk for people who hold Leipsic to hate been a Fronch victory. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY 14 . , VEN1NG, OCTOBER 26, 1863 luu l at THE QUEEN IN SCOTLAND, The Succession to the Throne, The Observer of yesterday states that her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales is in an interesting situation, which may be expected early in the spring to result in an event of the greatest im portance to the country. The Prince and Princess of Wales. SANDRINGHAM, Oct. 25. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the Prince Christian of Denmark, and the attendants, went out shooting yesterday. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge left Sandringham yesterday morning for town, after paying a visit to the Prince and Princess of Wales. The Duke of Cambridge was accompanied to the Wolferton station by his Royal Highness the Prince o f Wales. PRINCE ALFRED.—His Royal Highness Prince Alfred, with Prince William of Hesse and their attendants, left Floors Castle on Friday afternoon. Their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe accompanied their royal guests to the station, where they took an affec tionate leave of the youthful princes. The town was gaily decorated with a profusion of flags, and the square and streets were lined with a good number of spectators, who, as the soble party moved slowly onward, greeted them with hearty demonstrations of welcome. The Royal party reached Edinburgh about six o'clock, and proceeded to Holyrood Palace. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Colonel Clifton, arrived in town on Saturday from visiting their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales at Sandringham. The Duchess or Hamilton (née Princess Marie of Baden) and Lady Mary Hamilton will shortly leave Hamil ton House, Arlington-street, for Brighton, where the duchess contemplates a protracted sojourn, having taken a mansion there for several months. The Marchioness (Frances Anne) of Londonderry has been surrounded by a large family circle at Seaham H a ll, Durham. The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, the Earl and Countess Vane, the Earl and Countess of Portarlington, &c., have been among the party assembled there. The Marchioness (Maria) of Ailesbary has arrived in town from visiting the Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury at Savernake Park, near Marlborough. The Earl and Counte ss o f S car b orough have left 'heir country seat in Yorkshire for a lengthened tour in the east—their first destination being Alexandria. THE COLONIAL SECRETARY AT BERMUDA.—The Hon. M. G. Keon, Provincial Secretary of Bermuda, accompanied by his esti mable lady, ar r i ve d h ere ( t h at is at Halifax, Nova Scotia, says the E ven i ng E xpress of that place, under date Friday 9th October) yesterday from the adjoining Province of New B runswick, where we learn they have been making an exte nded tour. We ar e pl ease d to hear that wherever they visited they were most cordially received, as strangers always are in these Provinces. We have much pleasure as proof of this, i n copying the follow ing from the M i ramiehi Gl eaner of th e 3d i ns t . :—" L ast week we copied a brief paragraph from thellaiVaz Express which stated that the Hon. Mr. Keon, Provincial city o c f liat ß h e a rzda a , nd and tha h t i s they purposed to visit the ch i e f places on the North Shore. They arrived here on Tuesday week, and up to Thursday rema i ned as guests wi▪ th the Rev. D r . R ogers, Bishop of Chatham. The weather being for several d ays exceedingly wet and disagreeable, these di stinguished s t rangers were compelled to remain in-doors, a nd consequently d epr i ved of the opportunity of visi▪ ting the settlements on the river, or of seeing the people. His lordship, t o make some amends for this untoward circumstance, and t o ena b le his resp e cted guests to become acquainted with some o f th e leading inhabitants on the river, invited a large company of ladies and gentlemen to meet the m on Monday evening last, and as his premi ses were too small to accommodate the company comfortably, he entertained them in the Academy Building, the n umerous rooms o f which were thrown open on the occasion. The supper table was laid out in the spacius scho.cturesm, ol roo, which w as neatly fitted up for the sp un, with p: flags, and other decorations. The arrangement of the tables, and th e tasteful manner in which they were set out, displayed much taste and artistic skill. The company numbered from seventy to eighty ladies and gentlemen—all of whom app aren tl y spent a most ag ree able and pleasant evening. At the supper table l personal ad other toasts were gi ven, among severe them—our beloved, n res T pectedordshi , and honoured S overeign, Queen Victoria ; his ...a p, Dr. R ogers, Bishop of Chatham ; Hon. Mr. Keon and Lady ; Rev. Mr. Bacon ; the Volunteer Movement; the Ladies ; and several others, all of which were responded to. It was a very agreea b le re-union of persons from various sections of th e r i ver, com prising all shades of opinion and of political Greed ; and it was pleasant to see how they beca me cemented, an d f use d into a harmonious whole. No ripple appeared on the gene rally purturbed surface; not a har s h word uttered to mar the festive scene ; or a discordant note struck to jar on the most sensitive ear. In fact all proceeded as merry and as harmoniously as a marriage bell. A. short time after they rose from the supper table the company dispersed, pleased with the evening's entertainment. O n th e following day the hon. gentleman and his▪ lady, together with a few other guests, partook of a luncheon, and spent a mos t agreeable afternoon, at the hospitable mansion of Ri c h ar d H utchison, Esq., at Douglastown. While there Mr. Keon and lady visited the Shipyard and Steam Saw Mill. The latter was a novelty to them, as they had never seen one in operation before. They left Chatham for Halifax by w a y of Richi bucto on Thursday. wis , h , them a saf e and pleasant journey to their " sunny home in " the Vexed Bermudas." YOUNG PRINCE ALFRED AND OLD LORD BROUGHAM.—The young Prince and the old Chancellor were the most remarkable of the personages at the late gathering in Edinburgh. It was hard o n P r i nce Alfred to require him to "do" the Social Science Congress in the midst of the vacation. But having once accepted the task, he performed it thoroughly. Addresses, sections, meetings, conttersasioni—he attended them all ; l e t us h ope that a violent fit of mental di▪ gestion may not be the result. The Council owe him no small thanks, for evidently he was with many the chief attraction of the meeting. At th e con _ versazioni, where he good-naturedly appeared in the High land dress, the Social Science ladies, this year more plenti ful than ever, swarmed round him, like bees round a honey jar. Bat indefatigable as was the Prince, the old President fairly beat him. He looked more infirm than last year, and —a confession of age which has never been extorted from him before—he condescended to read a great part of his inaugural address by proxy. But this was the only item in which he shirked. Day after day he was übiquitous — dining, discussing, complimenting everywhere. At the monster working-men's meeting he was audible throughout the huge building, and almost eloquent. Once only he broke down. In moving a vote of thanks to one of the sectional presidents for his address, he attempted to refer to Lord Lyndhurst's death; but after vainly trying to force the words out through his broken sobs, he was compelled to sit down. His conduct in the chair at the closing meeting was a wonderful display of octogenarian power. A fit of temporary insanity had seized the assembly, the wildest motions were made and the most outrageous nonsense was talked; occasionally the uproar was tremendous, but the old man, clear, prompt, and full of tact, eventu ally brought back a ll part i es to common sense a nd good humour. DEATH OF THE EDITOR OF THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS.—Wc greatly regret to announce the death of W. J. Stewart, Esq., editor of the Illustrated London News, which occurred at his residence on Saturday last. Mr. Stewart had been for a considerable time in a weak state of health ; b u t we believe that his death, which resulted from disease o f the heart, was quite unexpect e d until shortly befo re it t oo k place. In him we h ave l ost a gentleman endeared to his friends b y the extreme amia p bility of his disposition, as well as a young author o f real promise. We understand that a posthumous novel i s a l ready in the pre ss , a nd will shortly be produced by the üb lishers of his former successful work, " Footsteps Behind Him." ME V E NERABLE MRS.

AMERICA. REUTER'S EXPRESS. cavalry. Roddy, with 100 rebel cavalry, has crossed the Tennessee. He passed through Larkinville on Thursday, going in the direction of Winchester. There seems to be good reason for believing that the rebels were fighting among themselves last Monday, 500 or 600 being killed or wounded. De serters differed in their statements as to the cause and force engaged. One version is that some Georgia troops refused to cross the Chickamauga, and that Withers' division was sent to compel them. Another story represents that Tennessee troops refused to obey orders, and Longstreet's forces were sent against them. A line of battle and the flash of guns could be distinctly seen from the mountain tops. This occurred on Mon day, at the time of their cannonading, from which it was concluded that this was the nature of their trouble. A despatch from Knoxville, dated Oct. 11th, states that General Burnside advanced along the line of the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad, on Thursday and Friday. He overtook a rebel force under Jackson and Williams, on Sa turday, at Blue Springs. A skirmish took place. The rebel firing was sharp and de structive. They were, however, driven from the field at sundown. Darkness prevented pursuit. The rebel force, estimated at 6,000, retreated on the Greeville road. Despatches from Washington state that on Satur day a force of Kilpatrick's cavalry attempted a re connaissance on the south bank of the Rapidan. They were attacked by a large force of rebel cavalry and artillery under Stuart. A brisk fight ensued, lasting an hour, when our cavalry fell back upon their infantry supports, near James City. Here another fight took place, in which the Union forces were worsted and compelled to retreat. The rebels captured 100 of the 120th New York re giment. The Federal cavalry then charged on the rebels, retaking nearly all the prisoners. Rebel reinforcements coming up, our forces were pushed back to Culpepper. Later intelligence says our forces have eva cuated Culpepper. Such stores as could not be removed, were burned. it is reported th a t t h e whole rebel army is over the Rapidan, and that General Meade has fallen back to the north bank of the Rappahannock• it is said that L ongstreet ' s corps has returned f ro m the Southwick. Th e re b els began to cross the R a pidan on Th urs d ay, moving towards Madison Court House, evidently trying to turn Meade's flank. It is reported that , rebel gaps in the Bull R un M ounta i n. cavalry hold the Heavy cavalry reinforcements have gone t o th e front. It i s asserted that a large cavalry- force has been sent to dislodge them from the mountains, and that General Meade is amply prepared f or any attack. Extravagant rumours are afloat in Washington of reverses to Meade, but no apprehension is felt in military circles. Latest advices from New Orleans confirm the reports of the fight at Morganza, or Alorgan's Bend. It appears that General Dana advanced inland some nine miles from the Bend when he came upon a large force of the rebels. The fight which ensued resulted in the defeat of the Federal forces, with alo • loss variously estimated at from 400 to 1,000 killed, Wounded, and missing. The advance of General Franklin's Texas expe dition reached Franklin, La., on the Ist of October, and it was supposed that the main body would con centrate there before moving further. The Ccn federate forces are retreating intact before Franklin. The New Orleans correspondent of the New York World writes as follows of the situation in that department : " From Ship Island in the Gulf to the head waters of the Missouri; along the Ohio, the Red, White, and Arkansas rivers, the Fe deral armies are scattered, guarding unim portant points and making ' brilliant raids,' which are of no military consequence, pur suing the enemy through the wilds of Arkansas, the swamps of Western Louisiana, or the fastnesses of the Cumberland mountains. And what is the result ? The enemy retires, concentrates, and falls back upon the isolated armies with crushing effect, just when and where he pleases."

The eteamsbips City of Baltimore, from Liver pool, and Columbia, from Gaiway, arrived hero yesterday. Latest advices received in -Washington from Chattanooga state ;-- "The rebels have removed their artillery from Lookout Mountain, where they had about ten pieces in position, and appear to have somewhat with. drawn their forces. It is supposed they will concen trate their artillery on Mission Ridge. Some of the enemy's pieces are very heavy, and all seem to carry well. They hold both Lookout Mountain and Mission Ridge, from which they threw shells on the 4th and sth inst. "We have several lines of intrenchments, and extensive earthworks are still going on. Tho plan of the enemy appears to be not to attack in front, but to compel us to abandon Chattanooga by hold• ing us in our present position with their army in our front, annoying us with their artillery, and breaking our lines of communication by cavalry raids in our rear. The last part of this programme is now being carried out by Wheeler's:cavalry, which managed to cross the Tennessee at Cotton Port Ferry, near Nashville. After crossing, the main body moved in a northern direction. Part of the force fell in with the train of the 14th Army Corps in the Sesquatchy Valley, and destroyed ,between two and three hundred waggons, thirty of them being loaded with ammunition, and the remainder with clothing and supplies. Part of a Federal cavalry division, consisting of the 2d Indiana, Ist Wisconson, and Ist East Tennessee cavalry, then came up and attacked them. A running fight en sued, in which 120 rebels were killed and wounded, and about 60 of our men. On the 7th a general order was issued in accord ance with instructions from the War Department consolidating the 20th and 21st corps into the 4th, and ordering their commanders, Generals M'Cook and Crittenden, before a court of inquiry at In dianapolis. General Rosencranz officially denies having bronght any charges against General Milroy and Crittenden. With the assistance of reinforcements already ar rived, movements will soon be made to drive the enemy from our front. The army is well sup plied with everything but clothing and blankets, tho want of which causes considerable suffering. All the wounded capable of being moved have been sent north. Our casualties in the late battles will not be less than 15,000. Wheeler's cavalry was attacked by Colonel Crook on Wednesday, and defeated with a loss of 150 killed and wounded, 300 prisoners, and three pieces of artillery. In a subsequent fight near Fayetteville they lost 300 more prisoners. At last accounts they were retreating to the interior, pursued by Federa SECOND EDITIoI7V-. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 o'CLocK.

SPORTING NOTES, The Newmarket Houghton Meeting, which finishes the racing on the Heath for the present year, commences to day. The all-important event to be decided is the Cam bridgeshire. Several of the horses engaged have been very steady in the market during the last few days, more espe cially Limosina, Catch'em Alive, and Carnival, while others have fluctuated considerably. A great number of horses having appeared in the quotations at various times, no doubt there will be a very large field. Prior, however, to considering it at full length, I would fain revert to the ungenerous and unjust remarks which have been made against the owner of Lioness and his respectable trainer, in reference to the Cesarewitch. If there is one single stable that commands more than another the confidence of the racing world, it is that of Mr. Merry, who runs his horses in the good old-fashioned style practised by Lord Derby, Lord Glasgow, Lord Portsmouth, and General Peel. Rarely, if ever, are complaints made about his being fore stalled in the market, nor is a jockey with a doubtful re putation ever permitted to ride his horses. Of their train ing it is needless to say one word, for the Calendar at the close of every season is the finest advertisement that Mr. Dawson can require. To accuse him and his employer of having pulled the strings, and run the mare when unfit, to blind the handicapper, is unfair in the extreme ; because it was notorious in the district in which she was prepared that she had been lame " all round" in the early part of the season, and, moreover, had been fired, the marks of which will never be obliterated. It was, therefore, a question whether she might not have broken down in the races in which she ran at Reading and York. So that, if by superior treatment, Mat Dawson was enabled to get her right, the circumstance was the more creditable to him, and takes off any blame that might be attached to the handi capper, who ought not to be mortified at the success of any animal.

Morris Summerside Carnival, after his defeat of Clarissimus, has been backed t:r large sums, as little as 11 and 10 to 1 being taken about him. There can be no question that he is one of the best, if not the best, horse of his year. But it would be too much to expect him to win with such a steadying weight as Bst 81b, although Saunterer ran third to Odd Trick with Bst 121 b. Carisbrook, if in anything like the form he showed last year at Ascot, when he won the Prince of Wales Stakes and the Fourth Biennial Stakes, ought to run well, as the hill will just suit him. Gamma came with a rush into the market last week, which caused Limosina to de cline a point or two, bat the demonstration was short lived. , as he ha s aga i n b een sent to the outside division. disgrace di'gr ten chequer is very leniently treated, and ought not to s himself.
