HAMBIIRGII.—The advices from Hamburgh mention that the rate of discount had advancad to 51 to A, with the appearance of a further rise being probable. About 60,0001. of silver had been received from London, but a larger sum had been sent to Copenhagen. ODESSA.— The Odessa accounts to the 12th of October mention that on the previous day Pi;nce Merschikoff had arrived at that port. Considerable uneasiness pre vailed, and the transactions were consequently very limited. Freights were rather lower, and a numerous fleet of merchantmen had been repor'Led as approaching. Meanwhile the supplies of wheat and other vain ar riving from the interior were extraordinarily large. Al though private houses had been convertsd into granaries, numbers of laden carts, it is stated, were still forced to remain in the streets. .77 - ALF-PAST TWO. 915 a 912 Consols Ditto October Account MARKET NEWS--(THIS DAY.)

COTTON.—The sales are runall, but rates are fii.m. SALTPETRE.-264 bags Bengal at auction sold at 29s for 14 to 11 per cent., and 1,034 bags Madras at 28s 3d for ord 12i per cent. refraction. PlCES.—Pepper : 80 - bags Batavia sold at 4gd for dusty. TALLOW.- -P.Y.C. iF. 58s 6d to 58s 9d per cwt. on the spot, and Town 62s 6d. TEA.—Ord and good common congou have been in much request at full rates. The current number of the Ici.vital of St. Paersburg i just received contains a curious mistake, which may lead some people to the apprehension that the British Am bassador had quitted that city. Sir Hamilton Seymour is announced to have lest St. Petersburg, and to have arrived by steamer at Lubeck, but the person intended to be named was Captain Hamilton, a bearer of d!s patches. . I FINANCIAL AFFAIRS OF AUSTRIA.—The financial ne cessities of Austria seem to become every thy more urgent. Since the failure of her recent attempt to raise a loan in London she has been obliged to obtain fat her ass!staxce from the Vienna Bank, and consequently to authortse an increase of paper I;ssucs during the past month to an amount equal to half a million sterling. NEW YORK.—The gold received from New York yesterday was 100,0001., in addition t 3 the 30,0001. brought by the Andes on Saturday. Tne mercantile accounts show a considerable increase in the pressure for money, the rate for the best paper being as high as 12 per cent., and several failures had taken place. Among these wet a Hunt and Co., dry goods jobbers ; Jones and Johnson, insurance brokers ; Young and Howell, whole7ale grocers ; and Mr. S. Draper. The liabilities of Hunt and Co. are stated to be equal to 70,0001., but they had shown a satisfactory balancc sheet, and were expected to resume. Alt kinds of se curities were depressed, but not to any sezious extent, nor was there any apprehension of unsoundness in trade generally. The shares of the Crystal Palace have been falling for many weeks, and have at last reached 55. A few months back the price was above 150. DEPARTURES FOR AUSTRALIA.—The departures from the port of London for the Australian colonies during the past week show a decrease. They have, altogether, comprised thirteen vessels—six for Port Philip, with an aggregate burden of 3,504 tons; three to Sydney, with an aggregate burden of 1,721 tons ; three to Adelaide, with an aggregate burden of 1,118 tons; and one to Hobart Town of 390 tons. Ihe:r total capacity was, consequently, 6,733 tons. Rates of freight exhibit a further tendency to decline. BUSINESS OF THE PORT OF LONDON.—In the general business of the port of London during the past week, there has been much activity, and although the arrivals have diminished, they are still numerous, and consider ably above the average. The number of vessels reported inwards was 280, being 70 less than in the previous week. The arrivals of timber and tallow from the Baltic have been large ; but the quantity of grain reported is not -o great, the total being 60,231 qua r t ers , i nc l u di ng 34,085 quarters of wheat. In addition to this, there have been 14,915 barrels of American flour received. Of tea there were reported 9,144 packages; of coffee, 4,752 bags and 2 casks ; of cocoa, 2-396 bags ; and of sugar, 6,348 bags, 1,999 hhds., 1,049 casks, and 1 , 3 7 9 boxes. The number of vessels ceared outwards was 87, being 36 less than in the previous week ; of these, 11 were in ballast, and 13, as above stated, for Australia and Van Dieman's Land. The shipments to those colonies still continue large, and the actual exports for the week show a total of 732,717 yards of call.coes, plain and part dyed ; 123,185 yards of crapes, cambiics, and guases ; and other articles of the declared value of 89,9441., besides large quantities of hosiery, caps, counterpanes, quilts, shawls, &c. The nuMber of vessels on the berth, loading for Austra l is ; Van Diemen's Land, and New Zealand, on the 22 cl inst., was 84, being 46 less than on tae 22d ult. Of those now loading, 8 are for Adelaide, 6 for Geelong, 9 for Hobart Town, 2 for Launceston, 15 for Mel bourne, 5 for New Zealand, 15 for Port Philip, 2 for Portland-bay, 21 for Sydney, and 1 for Swan River. A WILD MAN.—A man named Williams was stopping at the United States Hotel yesterday, who might justly be styled a "wild man." He eats nothing that is cooked, nor drinks anything but water. His meats, potatoes, and all his vegetables, cabbages, turnips, &c., are raw. He alleges that he has not eaten any cooked food for several years, and that any deviation from his present mode of living would most probably cause his death. He resides in lowa, and is on his way to Wash ington, to make a purchase of some United States land. —Cincinnati Gazette. maner Limum ave in f Sep- At the 711., so ed.

It bore on the squared end this inscription :—" Presented to stir the minister to stir himself to enable the country to stir a cheaper coal." THE SJPPLY OF COAL.—The Great Northern Com pany have, it is said, offered Lord Fitzwilliam 60,0001. a year for his coal mines, on a lease for 50 years. A considerable portion of the coals supplied to the Great Northern come from the pits of his lordship.—Yorkshire Gazette.

The Horatio, 24 guns, training ship, Commander Robert Jenner.—The seamen and boys under training for the service are now sent out in the Lizard steam vessel every week for gun and general exercise, cruising between the Nore and the Mouse. A target being placed at a distance of 600 yards from mid-channel, the boys are engaged as helmsmen, leadmen, and captains of the gun (an 18-pounder) in turn ; their progress in gunnery is the admiration of their officers ; on repeated occasions the target has been carried away by the second shot laid by the boy gunners. Such is their proficiency that it has been found advantageous to give some of the more intelligent boys a number of other boys, who are entirely drilled in their various exercises by them ; this is found to produce in most of the boys a strong desire to make themselves fully competent to fill the same office at the earliest period possible. All the new raised seamen in this ship have been sent away to Portsmouth in the Fearless steam vessel, to be put on board ships in commission at that port. The Monarch, 84, guard ship of ordinary, Captain Charles Hope.—All the seamen available for continuous and general service who were serving on board this ship have been draughted for service in ships commissioned and in commission it Portsmouth ; they have left here in the Fearless steam-vessel. The Boscawen, 70, guardship of ordinary, at Chat ham, Captain Peter Richards.—All the seamen available for continuous and general service have been sent round to Portsmouth, as in the case of the Monarch and Horatio. It is reported that m consequence of some of the ships having taken their departure from Portsmouth, all the men sent round from this port in the Fearless will return again to their respective ships.

THE ARMY. CHATHAM, OCT. 24.--A detachment of the St. Helena Regiment assembled to-day in the Garrison Parade ground, Chatham, and were inspected by Colonel M.

The detachment will embark to-morrow at Gravesend, on board the freight-ship Stag, for convey ance to St. Helena, to join their service companies. Captain C. H. Mareehaux takes command, and Mr. Alexander embarks in medical charge of the troops ; two women and three children also embark with the draft. Captain J.

Rope, a Story of Chequered Life. By A lfred W. Cole, author of " The Cape and the Kafirs," &c. London : T. C. Newby. 1853. It is said that the days of " three volume novels" are numbered. Cheap literature—penny periodi cals—are the order of the day. We all like to get things cheap, including books ; but, after all, cheapness is not the only requisite in literature, or in other things. Penny periodicals may be very amusing and very instructive, and many of them ' are so ; but we can hardly expect them to be so profitable to their conductors as to enable them to pay their contributors very handsomely. So, while laying out our penny, we must not be too fasti dious, but be satisfied with the dish it provides for our entertainment, not expecting a salmi of phea sant when we can only look reasonably for a mutton chop. 11 , ut three volume novels are by no means de funct yet, as the daily announcements of Bentley, Hurst and Blackett, and Newby, will prove. One of these lies before us by the author of " The Cape and the Kafirs." Mr. Cole comes before the public not unknown to fame as a writer of travels and a contributor of light sketches in prose and verse to several of the magazines, chiefly of a humorous turn. We believe, however, that he now makes his delrelt as a novelist, and the title of his book is at least an auspicious one. We intend no disparagement to Mr. Cole's novel when we say that it perhaps bears internal evidence of being a first work of fiction. We have no doubt that he is conscious of this himself, for his mind is apparently a " critical" one, if we may judge from many remarks interspersed through the work on literature and composition. We suspect that he scarcely felt himself quite at his ease during the progre ss o f t h e firstpart of his story — say half the fir s t vo l ume. It is evident that his shackles fall off as he proceeds, and every step for wards manifests greater force and greater freedom of execution. Thus the second volume is an im provement, and the third surpasses the second. That is, at least, evidence of the author's capabi lity of still greater things hereafter. The story is one of " chequered life"—the life of a young man, who with talents and education is left at an early age almost destitute, and who flies to that melancholy refuge for such individuals—perio dical literature. Are we wrong in suspecting that the author has embodied many of his own expe riences in the life of his hero, Frank Nugent ? There is but little intricacy of plot—it is rather a chain of scenes, in which the author seeks to delineate character, and to interest us in the working of the minds of those who play their parts in those scenes. This he has accomplished most successfully. No one who reads " Hope" can fail to be deeply in terested in all that concerns Flora Danvers, than whom it would be impossible to imagine a more high-souled, gentle-hearted being—energetic and passionate withal—a very woman indeed, but such a woman ! Perhaps a character equally well finished, and equally interesting, though from a most opposite cause, is that of Captain Dashwood. It is evidently a favourite character of the author's, and has been carefully elaborated. He has not fallen into the great error of young authors of depicting an incar nation of villany—on the contrary, this Captain Dashwcod, the bite noire of the story, is possessed of many estimable and attractive qualities ; while his vices are precisely those of a man who has in wardly resolved to discard principle altogether. There is more of " dramatic ' talent displayed by the author in the scenes in which Dashwood plays a prominent part than in any other portions of the story—as for example, where he shows Flora the forgery, and in their subsequent interview alone in the library. Either of these scenes would be a " hit " upon the stage. We cannot, for want of space, notice all the cha racters in this interesting and most promising tale. Amongst them are Mrs. Townley St. Leger (evi dently a portrait from life), who is Frank Nugent's patroness ; the Honourable Tom Saville, his bosom friend ; Gerard Mowbray, well imagined, but scarcely worked up enough ; Lionel Danvers, the spendthrift brother of Flora, whose career from ex travagance to somethinc , worse is well traced ; Mrs. Marsden, a kind of Mrs. Malaprop in low life ; Fanny Marsden, her daughter, a bright-eyed, true hearted,loveable little damsel ; and David Tonks, " good honest " David Tonks, a poor penny-a-liner, and not the least interesting or least estimable cha racter in the book. Among the minor ones may be mentioned Mars den, the soi-disant coal merchant, and actual betting-office keeper, whose deeds and those of his frateznity are exposed graphically S and humorously, and a Mr. Melchicadech, a Hebrew money-lender, who does business with the peerage and the army t ' list only, and who lives at Pentonville, only to give his clients the trouble of coming that distance to see him. Let young men who think of " doing a b:11," by all means read the account of Mr. Mel:. chisa,dech. One of the greatest merits of this work is the easy flowing style of the diction throughout. It is never heavy or tiresome, even where no progress is made in the story. The author chats pleasantly with his reader at times, and the subject is always one of interest—very often connected with books and authors in general. We should have liked to present a few extracts to our readers, but we must forego them. And as those who have faith in our advice will not fail to read the work itself, why should we present them with detached passages of it ? We cordially commend it to their notice, as one of the most pleasing, interesting, and promis ing novels we have read for some time. No one will be disappointed with it ; while, for ourselves, we prophesy for Mr. Cole, should he progress as he promises, a high place among the novelists of the day. Table-Moving : Tested and proved to be the Result of Satanic Agency. Table-Turning, the Devil's Masterpiece. By the Rev. N. S. Godfrey, S.C.L., of St. Catherine hall, Cambridge, and Incumbent of Wortley, Leeds. The title-page of these extraordinary publications made us, as no doubt they will others who read it, look with some degree of anxiety for the address of the rev, author. We were, however, doomed to disappointment, as no address app 3ars, and we are left in doubt whether Mr. Godfrey was at large or under constraint when he gave to the world the result of his experiments. Acquainted as we are with the justly high cha racter of the publisher, we are at a loss to conjec ture how it was he allowed his name to appear in connection with this publication. Surely, he could never have even glanced at such passages as the one or two we shall reluctantly transcribe "I now felt convinced that electricity had nothing to do with the matter, and resolved upon a different course of experiment. I spoke to the table, and said, 'lf you move by electricity, stop ! It stopped instantly. I commanded it to go on again, and said, while it was moving, If an evil spirit cause you to move, stop.' It moved round without sopping. I again said, 'lf there be an evil agency in this, stop.' It went as before. I was now prepared for a further experiment of a far more solemn character. I whispered to the schoolmaster to bring a small Bible, and to lay it on the table when I should tell him. I then caused the table to revolve rapidly, and gave the signal. The Bible was gentry laid on the table, and it instantly stopped 1 (The ita"cs are Mr. Godfrey's own.) We were horror-struck. However, I determined to persevere. I had other books in succession laid on the table to see whether the fact of a book lying upon it altered any of the cond!t'ons under which it revolved ; it went round with them without making any difference. I then tried with the Bible four different times, and each time with the same result. It would not maze so long as that precious volr me lay upon it." (The italics are again Mr. Godfrey's ovv On the occasion of another experiment we have it sagely recorded : "It stopped when the names of God and Christ sere severally put on. The name of James was put on — table knocked on. The letters a, m, taken out, and u, s added on—table instantly stopped. That namend it was taken off, and the name of the Devil p ut on, a knocked at a very rapid rate, so much so as to excite oui astonishment, and cause us to remark, 4 What a rate t i the table is going at!' It being now ten o'clock with an , we dis continued our experiments for that me, but unshaken conviction that the ta ble was an imated by evil influences. Only one other circumstance occurred. Two parties in the room went back to the table after an inter val of twenty minutes, and the table instantly began to move. I therefore went up to the table, and, placino my hands on, said to the s pirit, ' I command y ou i n the name of the Lord Jesus to quit this table.' I then walked away, and although the two persons tried for probably ten mi nutes afterwards, the table stirred n o more. Now, what can sur p ass this?

After supper go to bed," says the old proverb, .‘LE S PAP E 1 g 41 ; r 0 0 1. 6 .. but it was not, in fine, observed by Mr• G 4 ; and his co-conjurors. " During supper," - the narrative, " other tests suggested and about twenty minutes before twelve , laid our hands on again. I commanded the Jag; S to move, and it immediately began as befolelL now said, If there be a hell, I command you ter knock on the floor with this leg (the one next me) twice.' It was motionless. If there be not a hen, knock twice.' No answer. If there be not a. devil, knock twice.' To our horror, the leg slowly rose and knocked twice." (The italics againareMr.Godfrey's.) I then said, In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, if there be no Devil, knock twice.' It was motimi less. This I tried forseveral times, and each time with the same result." After proceeding somewhat further, we have the sudden announcement— " Thus ended our experiment." Whether the conjurors returned to the supper table again, or re tired at last to their beds, the narration is not at the trouble of relating. ttZ We must here rem - ark by the way, on the extra ordinary idiosyncracy which is the author's, and also Mrs. Godfrey's, and also theßeverend Curate's. Were it our own case, or that of any one else, we venture to assert, of the whole human community, being " horror-struck," the very last thing in the world that would come to our mind would be the idea of eating and drinking. A little sal volatile, we should have thought would have been the thing for them, at all events for the poor lady. But no matter. Of supper Mr. Godfrey thought, and to supper, with cl amm y b row , an d s hivering limb, and faltering voice, Mr. Godfrey went. One passage more w e s h a ll quo t e , w hich, i . f it e had been written by an incumbent in his senses, we must say his Bishop who reads it without appointing a commission or suminoning to the Court of Arches, wou ld d eserve to b e lashed by the merciless S.

They sit until they are o b serve d b y some one of the ' wandering spirits,' w h o th ereupon enters the table, making it crack at the moment of its entering in. It occurred to me that the table moved simply by the laying on of hands. Can it be that this is the beginning of Satan's last struggle, that on the imposition of hands the table i s en dowed with power from the Devil, as the Lord's servants, on the imposition of hands, were, in the Apostles' days, endowed with power from on high?" Alas ! for the excellent Bishop Longley, if S. G. 0. could only get a glimpse of this sentence ! T.HE CHOLERA. (From the General Board of Health, Oct. 22.) 1100 UNION.

Two very severe cases of cholera at Barrington Colliery have occurred here this day, " both of them likely to prove fatal," according to the report of Mr. Maclaren, surgeon, Bedlington. METROPOLIS. From returns made this day to the General Board of Health of cholera cases in the parish of St. George (East), Middlesex, it appears that from the 17th to the 22d inst. there have been nine cases of cholera, of which one has thus far resulted fatally within 24 hours of the attack. The description of locality and house is, in every in stance, without exc e pti on , i n which the cases are re ported to have occurred, extremely Gad. In one case " the room of the family" is stated to be " dirty and full of poisonous air." In another the return is, that the rooms are " overcrowded and dirty, with filthy children in rags, with dirty skins." Again, "dirty in the ex treme, eight persons sleeping in the same room." Ano ther, " very overcrowded." Six cases occurred in one house, 33, Upper Chapman-street, also described as " overcrowded." Another house is stated to have " very bad drainage, bad smell pervading the whole of the house, no sewer or means to carry off the water : sewer close by, but no communication." Returns made by the superintendents of the F, K, L, M, and N divisions of police to the commissioners, and transmitted by them to the General Board of Health, state that between the 15th and 21st inst. there have occurred eight new cases of cholera in those districts, and two deaths, in addition to three cases previously re ported, one of whom has died, and the other two have recovered. On Saturday, the 22d, Dr. Milroy had an interview with the board of guardians of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, to confer with them upon the measures required to be taken for the protection of the public health by the rules and regul ttions issued by the General Board of Health, under the recent order of her Majesty's Privy Council. The board have had several times under their consi deration the scheme of erecting model dwellings for the poor, in pursuance of the power possessed by local governing bodies under Lord Shaftesbury's Act of 1851, entitled, "The Labouring Classes Lodging-houses A c t." The nature and provisions of this act do not appea r t o be at all known by the local authoritiesin the metropolis. The act is entirely distinct from the . Common Lodging houses Act, as its name imports, its title being, " The Labouring Classes Lodging-houses Act ;" nor should any one be misled by the retention of the term "lodging houses." The object of the framers of this act was not merely to enable parochial authoriti es t o construct a better order of common lodging-houses than those at present existing for single persons and for nightly accommoda tion, but to construct healthy dwellings f or th e perma nent residence of poor families on the model of the Metropolitan-buildings, St. P ancras, and the houses for families in Streatham-street, Bloomsbury. By the Common Lodging-h ouses Act, 1851, powers are conferred for the due regulation of common lodginghouses and by the "Labouring Classes Lodginghouses Act, 1851," powers are conferred for the due erection of other and better habitations for the families of the poor. Ono of the immediate objects of this act was to make provision for the reception of families in the enforcement of the law for the discontinuance of cellared dwellings. By the c3mbined effect of these measures local authorities may secure the beneficial execution of the law for enforcing the discontinuance of ill-conditioned cellar dwellings w ithout obliging their tenants to resort to hovels which are unfit for inspection of habitation. Every fresh of the state of the dwellings of the poorer classes in the metropolis is a fresh illustration of the necessity of the powers conferred by this act, and of the responsibility incurred by neglecting to use them. NEW TURKISH LOAN.—It appears by the advices from Constantinople that Turkey contemplates the pos sibility of raising a loan of 2,500,000/. in London at 10 per cent., and that she considers the repayment of the last loan to have taken place on terms to warrant such an application. This, however, is a great delusion. The conditions of that loan were of a nature to induce persons to buy the stock at upwards of 11 per cent. premium, and when the Sultan, after using the money for many months, r epudiated the acts of his Ministers, and refused to fulfil those conditions, the holders were arbitrarily compelled to accept 3 per cent. as a compen sation. It is true that, after the protracted anxieties to w hi c h th e y were exposed, they were glad to get even an inadequate compromise, but it was a severe reproach to the Turkish Government that such should have been the case. The public will also bear in mind that it was r oßTll. a_t l a v n any the present Minister by whom the former loan was con and whose acts, having been disowned expected to meet with a similar fate once, have ' understand that the Edinburgh, Perth, and (fm t su r eta a ouy c tr t se ed mbtea , in.

CARDINAL WISEMAN.—It is understood that his Erni" nence, after having been present last week at the grand religious spectacle at Amiens, continued his journey to Paris, from whence it was expected that he would pro ceed to Rome upon important business. The decrees of the Synod of Roman Catholic prelates, which was held at Oscot in the course of last summer, though not yet made public, have been sent back, it is rumoured, from the Holy See altered in many important details ; among other points, condemning the exclusive use of Gothic ecclesiastical vestments, and recommending the adoption of a more strict conformity to those which are in use at Rome. It is believed that this decision is likely to prove rather unpalatable to a c onsiderable portion of the Roman Catholic prelates and clergy. It is supposed that it is on business connected with this subject that the Cardinal has gone to Rome to confer with his Holiness.
