MONEY MARKET AND 'OM MER CIA L INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Tu o o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were e stimated at 7,000 bales, including 1,000 Americ an taken for export. The market was steady, but cic used without spirit at previous rates. The sales cc unprised 4,500 American, 150 Pernam and /farmll lam at 6d. to 6 1d., 400 Bahia at qd. to 61d., 400 Egyptian at 5/d. to 6/d., and 600 Surat at 3d. to Ad. per lb. Railway Shares were firm, and prices 1 lad an upward tendency. The continued prevalence of contrary winds keeps ( )ut a large number of vessels that are in the Chann el, and among them are supposed to be seve ral fro m Australia. The accounts received from the United States, and d .elivered iu part this morning, are so exclu sively • occupied with the cc drought" question that the money-market does not receive in many of ti le journals the customary attention. At the late st date, however, the 29th ult., there was gr( ater ease, and the New York Banks had increased th eir specie without too violently contracting their lc , an s. At New Orleans likewise, there was more. c onfidence, the Price Current, of the 20th ult., ► itating : " Since the date of the last report but a very moderate amount of business has been transacted in exchanges. The demand has been very limited for all descriptions, though at the same time we would observe that the offerings have been exceedingly light. Bills on England are only sought after for remittances, as the rates claimed are altogether too high for exchange purposes. Drawing of A 1 bills ask 101 to 101, but so far we have heard of no sales higher than 101 per cent. Bills on France sell slowly at from 5.071 to 5.15 per dollar, according to names. Time bills on the North have been in but very moderate request, the market still ranging widely. Sight funds are lower—several large transactions having been made yesterday at from S to a per cent. premium. The banks, however, still ask 1. per cent., but are willing sellers. Money is quite plenty, and good short paper scarce. We quote sterling 94 to 10 and 104 per cent. premium ; France 5.071 to 5.15 per dollar ; New York and Boston, 60 days, 1 to 1 and 2 per cent. discount. Sight I, and 1 per cent. premium." The following statement will show the operations of the San Francisco Mint for the quarter ending June 30, 1854: TJnparted bars— Ounces.

"Parted bars" contain only the gold, arid the reason of the small demand for them is that parties who ire the silver extracted p refer coin, as being more des mer chantable. Although the paucity of business in the Stock Exchange is still a feature, owing to the very limited attendance of members, prices are main tained with considerable firmness, and there is a palpable buoyancy, which would lead to the infe rence of a further, even if a gradual;:rise being pro bable. The splendid harvest weather is manifestly the prime mover, and while we are relieved from further anxiety on this score, we have other cir cumstances operating in our favour, and promi nently the goodness of our revenue and the sound position of our traders, free as they are from spe culative engagements. Consols have been up to 95g- I for transfer and account. Exchequer Bills have realised 6s. premium, and the Bonds of 1859 have been done at 99/. For foreign stocks there is not much inquiry. Spanish New Deferred B onds have been 182. and the Committees Certificate is at 51. The accounts this morning received from Madrid state that the payment of interest on the debt which had been suspended was to be resumed yesterday, the 11th inst. There have been no bargains in Mexican. Turkish Scrip has been 5a premium. Venezuela Bonds are 25. Brazilian 4-i per Cents. have been quoted 95& to 96. Belgian 41 per Cents. 91/, and Dutch 21 per Cents. 62. Higher prices than those obtained yesterday have not, in all instances, been realised for Railway Shares. The Great Northern have been in good request, the Caledonian continue well supported, and the Great Western are buoyant. The general business of the share market has been restricted. The French and other foreign lines are merely nominal. In the Joint-stock Bank Shares there have been but few transactions. South Australia are a shade higher. Not thergain is reported in the mining market, and miscellaneous shares are dull. ear to be a shade fi rmer. Crystal Palace app BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.—CLOSING PRICES, • (From the Oficial List.)

A further considerable may therefore be expec ted by the Arctic tomorrow. Much of it will p robably be sent to Pais. whither it can now be remitted without loss. THE STAMP ACTS. —A. Antedeputati of bankers, con sisting of Messrs. Masterman, , Glyn, Prescott, Bevan, and Sir J. Lubbock, u w p a o i n te s d om upon the Chancellor p eo o t in w ts as co t n o nected of the Exchequer yesterday with the Stamp Acts. Their chief object tain if the retrospective and consequently objectioesnaebelre operation of the measure which comes into force on the 11th of next month, by which all foreign bills are to be subjected to a stamp could be modified so as to apply only to those dated on and after that day, instead of to all that then fall due but it was stated that while there would have been every disposition to accede to the request as far as regards the question of revenue, the clauses in the act are considered too explicit to admit the desired construction. With respect to an inquiry whether bankers may continue to give acknowledg ments without receipt stamps for money paid in or re remitted by their customers, and also to receive advice from their agents of similar payments, the answer was that they will still be free to do so. STATE or TRADE.—In the manufacturing towns the state of trade during the past week was almost every where satisfactory. At Manchester there was some di nainution of activity, especially towards the close, but a favourable feeling prevails. The Birmingham report describes renewed animation in the iron districts, al though the heat of the weather has continued to interfere with the operations of the furnaces, while the transit of materials has been impeded by lowness of water in the .lanals. At Kidderminster a strike of the weavers, car ried on for a fornight, has resulted, as usual, in the men returning to work upon terms less advantageous than those first offered them. The Nottingham markets are affected by the cotnmercial embarrassments in the United States, but the borne demand for hosiery has been very good. In the woollen districts the present is the dull season ; b us iness, nev ertheless, is steady at firm prices. The Irish linen m arkets rem ain languid. THE LAMBETH BURIAL BOARD AND THE CLERGY. — The increased mortality in the populous districts of Lambeth, Kennington, and Vauxhall, has placed the local authorities in a position of considerable difficulty. Upon the compulsory closing of the grave yards, in com pliance with Lord Palmerston's order, the vestry voted a sum of 10,000/., chargeable upon the rates, for the pur chase of a piece of land near Tooting, for parochial inter ments. The ground bas been open for interments for some time past, and it is intended to erect a small chapel in connexion with the cemetery, provision being also made for the maintenance of a perpetual curate, whose stipend will, to some extent, be defrayed by means of burial fees. Until these arrangements can be completed, the district clergy have undertaken the duty, upon a distinct understanding that they are to be allowed com pensation, calculated upon an average of the last three years, in lieu of the burial fees, which have hitherto formed an important item of income. The new rector (Mr. Lingden), after the morning service at his own church on Sunday last, had to go down to Tooting, where there were 2nerals waiting for sepultural rites, some having been two hours on the ground, exposed to the rays of a vertical sun, with the thermometer at 87 in the shade. The Burial Board have submitted the matter to the Archbishop. of Canterbury and the Bishop of Winchester, urging the appointment of a 00 resident elergraus WA tbe demi w &' be speedily __ Mgll4 _, " ftirb .Jbaton.

Last night one of the 20 greatest aeronautic novelties ever produced in England was brought out here. It was designed and finished 10 expresnly t o g ive eclat to the Anglo-French fetes, which 20 were expected to take place about this time to cele- 40 20 brats the cordial union of the two countries,. and con -20 sists of three balloons, differing much in form and 20 size, but distinctly carrying out what the artist 20 wished to convey--viz., the efforts France and Eng- 20 land are conjointly making to preserve the balance of 5 power i n Europe. The centre balloon is termed the 20 Universe, and is a very beautiful one of the usual shape. 10 The two supporters or attendants are colossal emble- 2_c matic representations of England and France in a repos- 20 ing attitude as Justice and Plenty. The car which is suf- 8 , ficiently roomy to hold six persons, is placed in the centre, 1 10 and from its positionis calculated to give greater confidence 20 to a timid amateur; and also inse the comfort of the 20 more courageous adventurer. Tire inflation oft is very 6 curious triune machine was a matter of very great interest, 20 and it really could not be said to be tinie ill spentto recline, . in this delightful weather, under the shade of the beautiful trees at Cremorne, and witness the gradual develop- 40. went of the French artist's praiseworthy efforts. The 4 ‘. 1 ascent was one of the finest we ever saw, aud so calm 50 w as the evening, that for three - q uarters of an hour the 25 um balloon could be dist inct 'y seen by the very n erous 20 com pany who complimented Mons. H illeard by their presence at the gardens. Thursday evening the second 100 00 20 display will be made. . 1 F ATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER. —Yesterday an in- 20 at ques t was held by Mr. Langhain , deputy coroner, the Ship, Millbank - street , Westminster, on the body of Edward Burnett, aged 13, son of the clerk of the works, 50 to the Horse Guards, who was drowned on Friday last 50 in the river Thames. Deceased was a chorister at the 0 C a nterbury Hall, Lambet h, a nd, in com p an y with three 110 100 other youths, bad hired boats and gone up the river as far as the Suspension-bridge at Chelsea. On their re- 20 turn the tide was running strong, and deceased, who was 50 a n indiff ere nt rower, ran his boat against a barge moored 20 25 in the middle of the river, whereby the boat was over turned and deceased was drowned. His companions ii .,, swa in to the boat, and contrived to stride ac ross u ntil ' ""'",, taken off by the other lads who were in the second boat.

The ceremony of turning the first sod for the Inverness and Nairn Railway works will take place on Thursday , the 21st inst. The Countess of Sea fi eld was requested to take the principal part in the ceremony —to inaugurate railway works in the Highlands of Scotland—and at once consented. We understand that the magistrates and town council, the trades of Inverness, and other corporate bodies, propose to oe present at the interesting ceremony. The festivities of the Northern Meeting take place on the same day: The ceremony will take place in the immediate neighbourhood of the town, and will be so arranged as not to interfere with the usual sports and amusements of the first afternoon of the Northern Meeting. Several gentlemen belonging to Inverness, who have taken a very active interest in the success of the Inver ness and Nairn Railway, have late;y vis!ted Morayshire with the view of inciting that prosperous and enterprising county to take initiative measures for extending the In verness and Nairn Railway at least as far as Elgin. The distance is only about 20 miles, the country is level, and should require no expensive cuttings or embankments ; the proprietors are as liberal and publio-spirited as any .in Scotland, and the pecuniary means and traffic of the district are quite equal to the formation and support of a suitable line of railway. It has been resolved, we understand, to dispose of the houses and lands belonging to the Crown at Fort Au rrnstus. They are not valuable,• but are expected to realise about 3,oool.—lnverness Courier. IRISH SOUTH-EASTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was hen. on Saturday, at Dublin ; Mr. John Edward Redmond in the chair. The directors' report showed that the gross receipts it the half-year ending June 30, 1854, amounted to 5,5581., and the corresponding period of 1853 to 4,8081. ; increase, 7501. The annual returns for the same date were:—Year ending June 30, 1851—passengers, 47,040 ; total receipts, 5,97 G/. 1852—Passengers, 52,602 ; total receipts, 8,4191. 1853—Passengers, 60,850 ; total re ceipts, 9,863/. 1854—Passengers, 71,064 ; total re ceipts, 11,9341. The balance-sheet showed an available surplus of 2,1941., outof which the directors recommend that a dividend be declared on the paid-up capital at the rate of 2s. per share, and that the balance, after payment of the same, amounting to about 3501., be carried to the credit of the current half-year. The permanent way and works continue in good order. The bill for Bagnalstown and Wexford Railway has received the Royal assent, and, in pursuanee of its provisions, the present meeting was made special, to enable this company to subscribe to and bold shares in the undertaking to an amount not exceeding the sum of 50,0001. After some discussion, the report was adopted, and the meeting separated. SCOTTISH MIDLAND JONCTION.—It is stated that, at the ensuing half•yearly meeting of the shareholers of this company a dividend of 31 per cent. will be declared.— Glasgow Constitutional. SCOTTISH CSNTRAL.—It is reported that a dividend at the rate of 41 per cent. will be declared at the meeting of shareholders of the Scottish Central Railway Company on the 19th September inst.

The pioneer steamer of the new Canadian line of screw steamers, constructed expressly for the trade from Liverpool to the River St. Lawrence, arrived in the Mersey on Saturday morning from the Clyde, where she had been built by Messrs. William Denny and Brothers, making the run from Greenock in 13i hours, coming round the Calf of Man. Her engines, which had'not been previously tried, made fifty revolutions on a pres sure of 101bs. The vessel was so light that the screw was half out of the water, so that what was gained in lightness of draught was lost lost in power of propulsion. The Canadian is constructed to carry 68 cabin passengers. The state-rooms, which are models of elegance and com fort, contain every convenience of life on board ship, from luxurious velvet-cushioned sofas and strong berths tastefully curtained, to mirrors, patent lamps, and wash hand basins. They are each 7 feet 3 inches in length and 8 feet 6 inches in breadth, fitted up with two berths 2 feet wide. The saloon, which is an apartment of sur passing beauty, 58 feet in length, is heated by steam. The style of carving is the old cathedral ; and nothing could have been more finely adapted to give the great length of the saloon its full effect than the plainly arched roof and unohrsusive panelling which belong to this style. The light in this magnificent room is excellent, being admitted from the end of the cupola by four panel panes of stained glass, the work of Messrs. Ballantine and Allan, Edinburgh. The ladies' cabin, which is to tue right of the saloon on going out, contains fourteen berths, and is everything that could be desired for pri vacy and comfort. This cabin is also heated by steam'. Before ascending to the deck again we are conducted to the steward's pantry, a splendid room, 13 feet by 8, superbly garnished with silver plate of all dimensions and crystal of every imaginable cut. The cooking range has been fitted up in the most complete style and on the most improved principles. On deck, also, there are two large ice-houses, 12 feet long each by 7 deep and 6 in breadth, and a respectable cowhouse. The fore cabin is admirably fitted up. There are 280 berths in all, disposed in two single ranges along the sides, and one double range in the centre of the ship. Air and light are abundant, and there is no lack of space to promenade when the deck would be a doubtful scene for bodily exercise. About a ninth part of the whole num ber of berths are boxed off from the rest for the use of unmarried females. There aro also two hospitals for the use of steerage passengers, one for males and the other for females. The machinery of the Canadian is on a scale commensurate with her size. She is fitted with a pair of direct-acting engines, cylinders 62 inches dia meter, 3i feet stroke. They are immensely strong, and are expected to make upwards of fifty revolutions per minute. The boilers are two in number, firo at both ends, have brass tubes, and are constructed to give an ample supply of steam. The propeller is 16 feet in dia meter, and of 25 feet pitch. The Canadian is full barque rigged, and has a very handsome appearance.— Lirerpoof EXPEDITION TO CENTRAL AFRICA. Further communications have been received from Dr. Barth, from Timbuktu, giving an account of his pro tracted sojourn at that dangerous place. The date of the present letters is two months more recent than that of the first letters despatched thence. They reach up to the 15th December last. They contain the gratifying news that this indefatigable and courageous traveller had regained his full health and strength. Ho writes that be would have quitted Timbuktu long ago (a place where his life was greatly exposed to the effects of an unfavourable climate, and much more so to the dangers arising from the hostile disposition towards Christians of the most fanatical Mohammedan population of Northern Africa), were it not that he would have before him certain death, and share the fate of the unfortunate - Major Laing, if he left Timbuktu without sufficient pro tection. The murder of that excellent officers was insti- gated by the Fullan (or Fellahas) of Hamd-Allahi, a tribe living south-west from Timbuktu, the same fac tion that is so much opposed to Dr. Barth. These Hamd-Allahi Fullan had received from their chief the most peremptory order to effect the capture of th, tra veller, and bring him to his head-quarters, whether dead or alive, for they had expressed their disbelief in the pretended character of Dr. Barth being an ambassador from Stamboul.; and they had demanded all his papers, to ascertain whether they substan tiated what the Sheikh el Bakay had caused the great mass of the people to believe. Hitherto their hos tility has availed nothing, owing to the protection of the Sheikh el Bakay, and to the energetic bearing as well as the unceasing watchfulness of Dr. Barth himself. Unhappily, the renowned Sheikh has no military power of any kind, his authority consisting solely of an exten sive spiritual influence over a great portion of the Western Sudan. Dr. Barth, therefore, and his own small retinue, are almost at all times well armed, and ready to resist effectively any sudden attack. It is greatly to be regretted that Dr. Barth is not in pos session of a letter from the "Sultan of Stamboul," inas much as he states most emphatically that he would then not he in the least molested by any of the Mohammedan inhabitants. He hoped, however, to be able to depart from Timbuktu by the close of the year, and thus be freed from a situation which must at once be highly de trimental to mind and body. While preparing the pre sent letter, Dr. Barth had the great joy to receive Amib, the mighty chief of the Tingeregif, a Tuaric tribe, inha biting the regions east of Timbuktu, along the Kowara, or Isa 85,i140, as it is more properly called there. That long-expected chief came, on the bidding of El Bakay, as the traveller's , protector, with a welcome escort of 100 horsemen, to see him safely through his dominions, on his way back to Sakatu. The news of Dr. Vogel hav- I ing been despatched from Europe to join him had also reached Timbuktu, and given him the utmost delight. Dr. Barth had collected a great mass of information and drawn up various maps, of both which he has sent a small hut valuable portion on this occasion. There is no further news from the party under Dr. Vogel, but ample communications may be expected in the course of the present month.— Communicated to the Atheneum by Mr. A. Petermann. The following letter, on the new treatment o cholera by castor oil in King's College Hospital, has been addressed to us by Dr. George Johnson : " Sir,—l shall feel obliged if you will permit me to make your jourrial the means of publishing the results of our re cant experience at King's College Hospital, in the treat ment of cholera by castor oil. I have no desire to rush hastily into print, or to deal in therapeutical novelties ; my own inclination would lead me to collect facts now, and to defer the publication of results to a time of more leisure and less anxiety; but. I cannot reconcile myself to the adoption of this cautious mode of procedure when I con sider that cholera is daily sweeping off hundreds of victims, and therefore that any method of treatment which , pro mises a more than ordinary amount of success ought as speedily as possible to be made known. " All the cases of cholera which have come under my care in the hospital have been treated by castor oil, ad ministered in a mode which I shall presently explain.

Grn at complaints were made yesterday among the poor resin ling in Peter's-court, Rosemary-lane, relative.to the defy iency of water, which is dipped from the gutters for hoi it :ehold use.

JAMES'S, WESTMINSTER.—No deaths were re ported to have taken place yesterday in the Wardeur st r eet and Golden-square districts of this parish, where th e, disease has raged with so much severity. On Sun th ►:y no deaths occurred, as far as we have been able to eoertain ; but it was a melancholy day, on account of titre number of funerals which took place. ST. MARTLEBONE.—The number of deaths for the w•Li )ek was 11. There was an enormous increase of di,: Lrrhcea over the past week, but the proportion of cho le,r a is small. ST. SAVIOUR'S UNION AND CHRIST CHURCH DISTRICTS. The mortality from Asiatic cholera in St. Saviour's and CJ rist Church for the week ending Saturday was as ei:. cessive as the previous week, but it is to be observed ti 1 at those weeks have been the heaviest yet experienced. T lie number of deaths amounted to 81 ; 56 in St. Sa y iour's and 25 in Christ Church, the heaviest visitation t bat parish has experienced. In theNe w-cut two persons died yesterday morning, also r mother person in York-street. The disease is not confined I o any precise locality; and aremarkable instance is staled t hat in one house in the Blackfriars-road, on the occa e ion of the epidemic in 1849, the occupier and his wife 13oth died, and the same fact has taken place on the pre sent occasion. There are a ve-y great many cases of diarrlicea, but owing to the activity of the medical offi cers, and the steps taken by the board of guardians, by arrangements with the medical men in every district to supply medicines gratis, it is found that the inhabitants have become aware of the importance, on any unfavour able attack, of making immediate application for relief, the omission of which has caused the increase of cases that have turned out fatal.

PETER'S, WALWORTH DISTRICT.—In Hill -street there were four very bad cases on Sunday, one of which terminated fatally to a fine little fellow about eight years of age, of the name of `William Hazard, son of Mr. Hazard, No. 11 in that street. At Nos. 1 and 2, Hope Cottages, two females liver° attacked, and no hopes are entertained of their recovery. `lns ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL. —Yesterday two more deaths from Asiatic cholera occurred in the cholera 'wards of this hospital ; one of the sufferers having only ;been removed but a short time previously from.lslington. The courts and alleys of this parish have, owing to the defective drainage, suffered very severely, and hardly a .day has passed since the outbreak of the epidemic but a case of cholera has been reported. The sitting magistrate at Marlborough-street police c .ourt, Mr. Bingham, yesterday received the following Kite : " Dear Sir,—When the first grief and stupor which m mat have attended the horrible ca/amities in the neigh ib of Golden-square shall have moderated, I have a n doubt that many poor creatures will apply at your I) ffice for aid to meet the distress caused by funeral ex .tiiroess,hhopoNsv. however small, semultalnodn meet to cess s i o o m n e of ot t o o s m e c i a n s t e b s, er f 3 rou will with your usual kindness and humanity oblige iz.e by doirg so, I enclose a small sum, which I heartily w ish I had the power of making greater, and if you will (la) me the favour to acknowledge its receipt in the daily pa pels as a contribution in aid of the sufferers in the no ighbonrhood of Golden-square from P.', I shall be very th; inkful.

GLOUCESTER.—It is with regret that we have to an ncounce that Gloucester is now visited by that much dreaded and pestilential epidemic, Asiatic cholera. As yet it has net been productive of any very serious con que nces—two deaths only having occurred, while about five or six cases have come under successful medical treatment. SCOTLAND.—OnIy one new case of cholera has oc curred in Edinburgh since Tuesday, hut two of those previously reported have proved fatal. In Glasgow within these few days there has been a considerable di.ninution in the number of cases, although the mor tality tables for the month of August show the burials from cholera to havebeen 1,023, the total number of deaths being 2,288. The average monthly mortality is under 1,000. The Greenock mortality bill for August gives 52 deaths from cholera. Theravages of the malady have been very severe in Campsie and Kirkiatilloch. In the former village, which contains a population of 3,000, there have been, in the course of four or five weeks, about sixty deaths, while in the latter, which contains about 6,000 inhabitants, there have been, since Wednesday fortnight, between 40 and 50, and very few recoveries. In. Ayr there have been stray fatal cases of severe diarrhoea, ter minating in decided cholera, for several months, and of late a few cases of cholera of unmistakeable Asiatic type; but these have not been numerous enough to create any general alarm. The disease has made its appearance in different parts of the county of Argyll. At Oben there have been three deaths from the epidemio ; at Furnace, near Inverary, four at East Tarbet, four ; and at Ar drishaig, one, if not two, deaths. Since its appearance in Dumfries, about a fortnight ago, there have been 9 cases and 4 deaths. The official report for Perth, from the outbreak of the epidemic six or eight weeks ago, up to Wednesday, gives 55 cases and 21 deaths. There have been 10 recoveries, and 24 cases remain under treatment. Several fatal cases of severe cdarrhcea, if not cholera are reported from Montrose, and in Aberdeen the disease still continues.--Scotsman.

AMSTERDAM AND ROTTERDAM PRODUCE MARKETS...... business was rather more active. The favourable result The weekly reviews from the above markets state that of the late sales of coffee had caused greater firmness among holders, and the advance was well supported. In sugar there had been no great change, but the tendency was toward improvement. The chief operations had been in raw descriptions. There 4vas increased steadiness in rice, some purchases having slightly improved the tone of prices. Indigo and tea, although the operations were limited, had been maintained at former quotations. ACCIDENT TO ARCHDEACON CORE.—We regret to announce that Archdeacon Coxe, late Vicar of New castle, met with a serious accident on Wednesday in last week. The venerable gentleman, whilst returning from Bamborough to Eglingham, and when near a place called North Charlton, was by some means or other thrown from his horse, and sustained a severe concussion of the brain. Dr. Wilson, of Alnwick, was speedily in atten dance ; and the unfortunate sufferer now lies at North Charlton, in a critical state of health.—Newcastle Courant.
