ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is very little change in the general aspect of monetary affairs, the demand for discount ac commodation, although not quite so extensive as last week, being of an active character. There is a rather better supply of capital in the hands of the brokers, but 4 per cent. is still charged for the best short-dated bills. The only bullion operation of importance at the Bank on. Saturday was a withdrawal of 25,000 sovereigns. The Wave of Life, from 'Melbourne, has brought XISO,OBB. The suspension is reported of Messrs. Levy Bro thers and Co., in the Californian trade. The balance of the New Zealand Loa❑ offered by the Bank of New Zealand was taken up on Satur day at prices ranging to £5 lls. prem. No tenders at the minimum were accepted, and a much larger amount was offered than required. The accounts from most of the manufacturing districts last week were rather less satisfactory. Cloths and yarns at Manchester exhibited an ad vance in price, owing to the tenor of the American advices. In the woollen districts of Leeds, Brad ford, and Huddersfield, there was less activity, consequent upon the cessation of the winter demand. In the hosiery departments of Leicester and Nottingham, however, increased activity prevailed, while business in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton re mained without change of importance. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this day, according to Mr. Renter's tele gram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were at 67f. 70c, 67f. 85c.—Firm, animated. Increased depression prevails in the English Stock Market, and a few sales have produced a decline of 8 per cent, Consols being 93i 1- for money and account. The Reduced Annuities are 91 . 1 ; and India. 5 per Cants., 108,1 6. General depression has prevailei in the Foreign Market, but the chief feature has been the fall in Mexican of 1-1, viz., to 441 g , upon the reply of the Archduke Maximilian, which has produced sales. Turkish 6 per Ceuts., 1862, are 701 714 ; do., Consolides, 531 54 ; Greek, 3 7 g ; Spanish Pas sive, 35,4 a ; do., Certificates, 131 141 ; Portuguese, 494 ; Russian, 93 I ; Venezuelan, 62 ; and the Confederate Loan, 24 to 22 die. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been very limited, and prices have shown rather less firmness. Great Eastern, Great Western, North Western, and South Eastern have each declined 55., and London and Brighton, 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines have also re mained inactive, without material change in values. In Bank and Miscellaneous Shares the operations have been rather numerous, and prices in most in stances exhibit steadiness. BRITISH FUNDS--CLOSING PRICES. Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. The Arethusa, 35, 3,141 tons, 500-horse power, Mr. J. O. Jones, master in charge, which has been fitted for the first division of the Chatham steam reserve, is nearly ready for sea, and awaits orders from the Admiralty. The rumour is current at Chatham that she will be commissioned at the same time with the Octavia, 39, 500-horse power, and Constance, 39, 500-horse power, and all three ves sels despatched on an experimental cruise, to test their sailing and steaming qualities. The Arethusa is the last of the 50-gun sailing frigates converted to a screw steamer, and since her alteration has not been in commission. The names of the following gunboats have been removed from the official Navy List, published on the Ist inst., the whole of them having been ordered to be broken up—viz., the Carnation, the Dwarf, the Fidget, the Manly, the Pelter, the Spey, the Thistle, the Mastiff, and the Tickler, each of two guns and 250 tons burden. The above were at tached to the Chatham steam reserve, and a recent inspection of the gunboats belonging to the Ports mouth steam reserve has resulted in the discovery that several of that class are unfitted for further service. The vacant dock at Chatham is being prepared for the reception of the iron paddlewheel steamer Recruit, 6, 150-horse power, of which the comman der, G. F. Cottram, as well as the officers and crew, have been turned over to the screw gunvessel Speed well, 5, 800-horse power. An order was issued on Saturday at Woolwich to enter a number of hired men to assist in the con struction of Mr. Reed's experimental ship Pallas, ordered to be laid down forthwith and to be in frame within a month. The Pallas will ba armed with four of the heaviest guns of the service, and will carry chase guns at her bows. Special atten tion is to be directed to her buoyancy and rate of speed. Her length will be 2251 t., breadth 45ft., and mean draught of water 20ft. The Royal yacht Alberta, which has been built expressly for her Majesty's convenience in crossing between the mainland and her marine residence at Osborne, Isle of Wight, was launched on Saturday last at Pembroke dockyard, South Wales. The cere mony of " christening" her was performed by Miss Fincham, daughter of the master shipbuilder. The iron•cased sloop Research, having received her masts and machinery at Hobb's Point, was again taken into dock at Pembroke on Saturday to receive the remainder of her armour. The screw steamship Gibraltar, 81, Captain J. C. Prevost, recently put in commission, made an expe rimental trip outside Plymouth Breakwater on Fri day, prior to departure for a foreign station. The trial was under.the inspection of Capt. Edmonstone and Mr. Diemen, Mr. Steel and Mr. Batt, of the .Steam Reserve. Six runs at the measured mile, under full boiler power, gave a mean speed of 10 . 897 knots per hour. The training•ship Britannia, 8, Capt. Richard A. Powell, removed from Portland to Dartmouth, is now moored in the stream just above the ferry. She has on board at present over 200 cadets. The Scylla, 21, screw corvette, Capt. Richard W. Courtenay, sailed from Spithead yesterday after noon for the East Indies and China station. The Duke of Somerset has conferred the good service rension, rendered vacant by Rear-Admiral Warden's promotion, upon Captain Sir R. John le Mesurier M'Clure, C. 13., of Arctic fame. The official Navy List for the present quarter contains the names of the clerical staff of the vari ous naval establishments, thus recognising the posi tion of a most important branch of the civil service. THE ARNIY. An inspection of the troops in garrison at Ports mouth took place at Southsea-common on Saturday, by Field Marshal his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, LH. The troops took up their position at 11 a.m. The force drawn up on the ground com prised the 6th Brigade of Garrisoa Artillery, under Col. Longden. The "K" battery of field artillery (12 12 pounder Armstrongs, with ammunition wag gons, &c„ and 97 horses), under Col. Anderson, C. 8., the 2d battalion of the Ist Royals, under Col. Hol combe ; the 53d Regiment, under Col. English, C.B. ; the 55th Regiment, under Col. Hume ; and the Royal Marine Artillery, under Col. Schomberg. Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., commanded, having on his staff Capt. Paulet, aide-de-camp; Col. E. Somerset, C. 8.; Deputy-Quartermaster- Gen. Col. Thackwell ; Deputy-Adjutant-Gen. Col. Warde, C. 8., commanding the Royal Artillery in the district; Col. Gordon, C. 13., commanding the Royal Engineers in the district ; Col. Tait, com manding the Royal Marine Artillery, and a num ber of other officers. Accompanied by Lord Wm. Paulet, his Royal Highness made an inspection of the men, horses, and guns as they stood in position, after which they marched past. The slippery state of the ground, from the quantity of rain which had fallen, combined with the force of the wind, caused some of the lines in " grand divisions" to waver at times considerably ; but, on the whole, the march ing past was excellent, and drew forth frequent encomiums from his Royal Highness. At the con clusion of the inspection his Royal Highness, ac companied by Lord W. Paulet, rode round the for tifications, existing and erecting, between Southsea common and Langston harbour, and, after visiting the Royal Artillery barracks at Portsmouth, par took of luncheon at the Government -house, and at 2 p.m. left by the South-Western train for London, under a salute of 21 guns from the garrison saluting battery. Major-General Duncan Alexander Cameron, C. 8., now commanding the troops in New Zealand, has been gazetted to the colonelcy of the 42d (the Royal Highland) Regiment of Foot, vice Gen. the Marquis of Tweeddale, transferred to the 2d Life Guards. A vacancy has occurred in the military depart ment of the Royal Hospital at Greenwich, value £4OO, with apartments, stores, &c., in consequence of the death of the senior Captain, Thomas Lamb P. Langharne. There is also a vacancy for a Lieu tenant on the same establishment, salary £230, with apartments, stores, &c., in consequence of the death of Lieut. Abraham Parks. Referring to " Cool as a Cucumber," recently translated into French by Mr. Charles Mathews, Mr. Blanchard Jerrold states, " It is entirely original ; I wrote it in the year 1851; it was first performed at the Lyceum in that year ; and I know of no French farce which in the least particular resembles it. lam fortunate in being an English dramatic author who has made an appearance on the French stage." SCIENTIFIC MUSIC !—Mr. Macfarren is said to have completed an opera on the subject of "Hamlet." His overture, so entitled, is an est a bli s hed conce r t pi ece , and would be sufficient of itself to prove that the choice of such a subject is a hopeless mistake. If there is one thing that music cannot achieve it is the pourtrayal of what may be called intellectual emotion. " Hamlet" is made up of this. ‘: If Mr. M acfarren has really rendered the play in music,' says a whimsical critic of the art, "we need not despair of seeing some day, the dijerenttal calculus made into a symphony." A shocking crime was committed in one of the streets of Newcastle-on-Tyne, on Saturday night. A young Irishman, named Linskey,was stabbed in the neck by some unknown hand.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat. Selected samples moved off slowly, at about stationary prices, but all other kinds were very dull, and rather cheaper. Barley was offering on lower terms; for other produce very little was passing. On the c influent no change of importance has taken place in the value of any kind of grain. At New York the export inquiry has fallen off. The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market last week were only moderate. From abroad the imports comprised 17,431 qrs wheat, 5,172 barley, 11,813 ox's, 18 beans, 8 peas, 1,020 linseed, 806 rape. 5,000 maize, 480 sundry seeds, 323 sacks and 132 barrels flour. A very moderate supply of English wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market. The quality of the produce was excellent. Both for red and white qualities the demand ruled steady, and last Monday's currency was well supported. The shop of samples of foreign wheat was large. In most descriptions sales progressed slowly, yet no change took place in prices, compared with this day se'nnight. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at late rates. With barley the market was extensively supplied. kinds were in fair average request, at the recent fall in the quotations. Most The demand for malt was in a sluggish state, and prices had a drooping tendency. The supply of oats was moderately large. For good and fine corn there was a steady ealo, and prices ruled firm. Inferior produce, however, sold heavily, at late rates. The supply of beans was only moderate, and the trade ruled firm, at quite previous quotations. Peas were firm in price and nearly all qualities were in steady request.

Sales progressed slowly, but at about previous rates. The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts, as well as from Ireland, were moderately extensive, but the general quality of the supply was only middling. Prime Scots, shorthorns, Herefords, &C., commanded a steady in quiry, at an advance in the quotations, compared with Mon day last, of 2d per 81b, the top quotation being 5s per Blbs. Otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. There were no fresh beasts in the market from Scotland, Not withstanding that the show of sheep was very mode rate, the mutton trade was far from active. Prices, how ever, were well supported. A few very superior Downs realised se4d ; but the more general figure was 5s 2d per Blbs, at which a clearance was effected. The quality of the sheep was good.

The Atlantic Royal Mail Company's steamer Adriatic, from New York on the 22d and St. John's on the 27th ult., arrived here at 1.30 p.m. She brings 63 passengers:, and 13 slacks of mails. She was detained off St. John's six hours by fog. On the voyage her port cold water pump choked, caus ing another delay of 34 hours, and she crossed the Atlantic with her aft3r engine noncondensing, She leaves immediately for Liverpool. (Per the Adriatic, by Telegraph to St. John's.) ,NEw YORK, Sept. (Noon). Further details of the battle fought on the 20th inst. between General Rosencranz's and Bragg have been received. Rosencranz t e right and centre were driven from the field. General Thomas, though temporarily repulsed on the left, stubbornly main tained his position until after dark, retiring during the night to Roseville. _ _ . On the following afternoon the Confederates attacked General Thomas, but were repulsed, and Thomas proceeded to Chattanooga, where Rosen cranz had concentrated his forces, and was awaiting reinforcements from General Grant. General Rosencranz announces that be will be able to maintain his position until he is reinforced. The Confederates continued active in his front. Southern journals state that fighting was resumed on the 22d inst. General Bragg officially reports to his Govern ment that after two days' fighting the enemy has bean driven from several positions, but still con fronted him. He captured 20 guns and 2,500 prisoners. The .Richmond Whig estimates the Confederate loss at 5,000 men, including six generals (? killed) and seven wounded. The Federal loss is estimated at 12,000 men. A pertion of General Meade's forces have crossed the Rapidan. His cavalry have reached Orange Court House. There were no signs of the Con federates, who are supposed to be at Gordonsville, where an engagement is expected. Advices from Charleston are to the 22d inst. Pro perations were being actively carried on by the Federals, notwithstanding that the Confederate firing continued unabated. The _Richmond Dispatch asserts that the Confe derate Government has effected a loan of 100,000,000 f. in France upon the security of the cotton now in the South. Two more Russian frigates have arrived at New York. The steamer Jupiter has been captured. NEW Yost, Sept. 24, Evening. General Rosencranz telegraphed to Washington on the night of the 23d that he could not be dis lodged from his position. There had been no further fighting. It is semi-officially announced that the Govern ment have received advices from England that the Confederate rams would not be allowed to sail. This has created a kindly feeling on the part of the Federal Government towards England.

MARLBOROUGH • STREET. THE INCAUTIOUS SALE Olr POISONS —ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Martha Sarah Come, a decently attired married woman, was charged before Mr. Knox with attempting to commit suicide by taking sulphate of zinc. Police-constable 36 F said that about 8 o'clock on Satur day night he was informed by the husband of defendant that she had taken poison, and on going to Monmouth court he found the defendant lying down, with her head resting against the wall. She admitted she had taken poison, and that she had bought it at a chemist's shop in Seven Dials. He then took defendant to Charing-cross Hospital, where the stomach pump was administered, and it was ascertained that the defendant had taken sulphate of zinc. Mr. Knox asked the constable iT he had got a certificate from the hospital, and the constable said he had not, bat the husband was in court. The husband said his wife had:been drinking all the week. On Saturday night sbe came into a house where he was, e xclaiming "I•ve done it, I've done it," and that she had bought poison at a chemist's shop close by. He (the husband) then went to the shop where there was a bit of a b o y behind the counter, and he said he had sold his wife some poison. His wife had once before been remanded for cutting her throat. 31. r. limos. said the thing that struck him as most fearful i n the case was that a boy behind a counter should sell poison in Pennyworths to half drunken persons. He would have the female sent to the infirmary for a week, when the c hemist and his boy must attend, and if they declined, su mmonses should issue. He (Mr. Knox) would have the m atter Properly looked into. The defendant was then remanded. BREAD Row IN GREAT TITCHFIELD STREET.-OP pOSITION BAKERS.--Mr. Wm. Franklin, a baker at Somers Tow n, was charged with being drunk and disorderly. ilr. Edwaid Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for Mr. Ludwig Rehn, a baker in Great Titchfield street and Somers Town. Charles Robins, 94 E, deposed that on Saturday he saw the defendant in Great Titchfield-street. The defendant had been drinking, and was calling out to Mr. Hahn, " You German. You have lowered the prices in Somers Town , and I have come to annoy you." The defendant had a cart and two men with him, and was selling bread at 4d. t he 41b. loaf. There was a crowd of 300 or 400 persons assembled, and the street was quite blocked up. The de fendant told the men with the cart " not to move a step. If they tak e any one let them take me. They can on ly ane me 45., and t h e b akers of Somers Town will pay the fine." As the defendant continued to cause a great ob struction, he then took him into custody. Mr. L udwi g Rehn, baker, of Great Titchfield. street and Somers Town, said that on Saturday the defendant came in front of his shops with his horse and cart, and caused a great disturbance by ca lli ng out " 4d for 41bs of bread, " and We'll serve the -- - out." H e th en se nt for a c ons t a bl e , and 0 r emoved th e cart, but as soon as the defendant saw the police coming he bolted into a public house, and, on the pol i ce going away, came back again and abused h i m , saying he was starving a number of families in Somers -town. The defendant, after being taken into the police, an d b ailed out, came back to his shop an behaved in a simila r manner. Mr. Ed ward Lewi s said that Mr. Rehn had received a threaten ing letter, b u t h e had no indictive feeling, only custody by by wish i ng the nuisance stopped. Mr Knox said he would deal with the case as one of drunk a nd disorderly conduct,'.and fine the defendant 40s. oram month. T h e defendant said he was sorry for what he had done, and would not repeat it. Mr. Kno x said the defendant had not only been guilty of c an , ° a against M r .

She was certainly very much intoxicated when brought into the station-house. The prisoner implored of the magistrate not to send her to prison.

The advices received from General Rosencranz since Monday have favourably affected the gold and exchange markets, causing rates to recede from the extreme rates of that day. The closing quotations to-day are—Gold, 36i prem. ; Exchange, 1381, ; Stocks inactive—New York Central, 135.; Erie, 107 - ; Six per Cent. United States Bouds, 107. Cotton very firm. Flour and wheat steady. Corn improving. Provisions heavy. Coffee quiet. Saga' steady. Panic in the North on Receipt of the News. "Manhattan" says that if Burnside and Rosen cranz are attacked their defeat is pretty certain. The rebels are in spirits, as well they may be, while our forees that went into the battle, confident of eating Bragg up, are completely dispirited. It must be so. We know that fact here as well as it is known by General Rosencranz in Chattanooga. We must expect to hear of Southern victories until next May. In the summer the Southern troops feal more lassitude than the Northern, while in the winter it is precisely the reverse. It is the Northern troops that are ineffective, while the Southerners are braced up in their systems, end are eapable of doing wonders. Again, we are to have a long period of suspense as to the future of the large army in the South-West. The effect of the late news is ter rible to witness. Men of business go through the streets with clasped hands and their faces distorted by agony. Crowds stood from early yesterday =ruing until late at night watching the bulletin boards, hoping to hear a few items of cheering news. It came on bad—the air breathed it bad; and the favourable news sent on by the Govern ment, and the favourable construction placed upon the news by the newspapers, has not had any effect. Men of capital despair. They had hoped that the Federal armies would march straight on to victory, and that the capture of Charleston would be fol lowed by that of Mobile, and that Richmond would surrender still later—to be followed by a general getting down upon their knees by the rebels asking for forgiveness. All these dreams are evaporated. The stern decision of battle has made it apparent to all these hopers of victory that this war is far from ended. Tennessee will be recaptured : it is a necessity of the fall of Rosencranz. The hopers now see that the South will have the best of the game for a few months. They can only be met by raising another million of men in the North. Wall street and capitalists sh iver when they think of such a fate, and know that raising more men is about played out. Greenbacks have ceased to be believed in. The Sacred Harmonic Society (remarks the Reader) has issued its announcement as to the apprOach ing season. The most welcome bit of news it embodies is to the effect that the misunderstanding with Mr. Sims Reeves has been arranged. THE GRAND " FIND" OF UNPUBLISHED WORKS BY BEAUMARCHAIS.—The recent discovery of seven volumes of MSS. in the handwriting cf the celebrated author of the " Mariage de Figaro" in the shop of a London bookseller is likely to give ns considerable insight into some of the more secret social facts preceding the first French Revolution, as they contain several volumes of correspon dence. M. Fournier, who first discovered them, thus writes to M.Thierry, Director of the Theatre Francais, respecting them :—" There is among them a manuscript of the ' Bar bier de Seville;' another of the 'Mere Coupable,' with numerous variations in the handwriting of Beaumarchais; another of the piece of the Faux Ami,' which afterwards became Les Deux Amis.' You will, moreover, have nine or ten pieces completely unknown—comedies, one in three acts in prose, and another in one act in verso ; comic operas, farces, &c. Add to this a whole volume of songs and music noted by Beaumarchais himself, a volume of literary corres pondence, one of diplomatic letters, and another relative to the affair hitherto so mysterious of Beaumarchais and the Chevalier d'Ecn ; and, if you conclude the purchase, you will possess the richest part in the manuscript inheritance of Beaumarchais." M. Thierry immediately accepted the terms on which the bookseller proposed to sell the manu scripts, and they are now the property of the Theatre Francais.

Though this was the first time Mr. Lemon had appeared before a Manchester audience in the character of a reader, he was not personally unknown to the Manchester people. His appearance in the amateur dramatic company, which a few years since visited Manchester under the leadership of Mr. Charles Dickens, made a very favourable impression as to his histrionic ability, and this quality, added to his genial nature, found full scope in the subject ho selected on Saturday—a serio-comic picture from Ms own writings, of the life and aequaintances of a gambler, and entitled "Hearts are Trumps." The sketch included many of the striking varieties of human nature that are met with in everyday life, as it is set before us in the modern novel. Thus it had its heroine, an interesting and wealthy ward ; its low comedy man, a compouad of footman, groom, and gardener; and its hero, the father of the young ward, who, though a blackleg and a gambler, had nevertheless sufficient sense of shame to keep his livelihood a secret from his daughter. In compd. ante with the dying request of his wife, Mr. Gray—ee ra n the tale—plac e d hi s d aug h ter under the care of an eccentric, good-hearted, old woman, named Miller, at Rei g at e , h e i n the meantime oman' carrying on his gamhling trans actions in London, where he was only known under a pseudonym. The description of the gam bler's occasional visits to his child was given with great pathos, and the deathbed scene of Mrs. Gray was pictured with similar feeling. As a contrast to the knavery of the father and the gentle nature of the child, Mrs. Miller's honest open-hearted footman—Joe Martin—stood out in pleasing promi nence. Thou only half a Yorkshireman, Joe had all the shr ew d s and straightforward goodhumour of an out-a n at Yorkshirema.n. His peculiar dialect gave a zest to the witticisms and retorts with which he greeted the cockney visitors to Oak Cot tage, Reigate. One Wagstaff, a fellow-blackleg with Gray, fell in love with the heroine, discovered her pa rentage, and on being refused by her father he re venged himself by revealing Gray's occupation to the inmates of the cottage. The women - made their way to London, and found Gray and Wagetaff at play, and cheating a young fellow named Wilmot- This denouement was treated admirably. It pour trayed Gray's chagrin at finding that his wicked ness was discovered, his remorse, and his daughter's forgiveness, which melted even the steeled heart of Captain Wagstaff. Wilmot was recognised as . a n _ old acquaintance, and he, of course, married th e heroine. The sketch also included the marriage of ~oung another hero—Mr. Joe Martin—to a bux om I with servant named Susan Fletcher, the love contrast to whom formed a pleasing and humourouce of the the more practical and knavish char o a asly ters and die. story. The impersonations were varitered into the tinctly rendered, and the au dienc e . e , reading with spirit, their at ten showing how highly they aPP r i e e lated the abili ty of their entertainer. s.W.—Aterrrived— sinprva—ois Day. ind this Y weather.
