troops aro now more collected, and under better control. They get their rations cooked on the spot, and they are being reinforced by recovered men from the hospital. The 52d were reinforced by 25 men to day. The enemy's force in Ki3hengunge made a recon noissance of the right flank of our men yesterday, to ascertain apparently the strength left to defend the camp., Finding the piequet posts all occupied, they retreated, and the camp has remained unmo lested. It is said they are now evacuating Kishen: gunge. It is impossible to get information from the city. The enemy's cavalry cut off communica tion outside to the right, and no messenger can penetrate from the side in our posses-ion. It is believed the troops are deserting the city, but the Palace is still strongly occupied. We all look on the complete occupation of the city and palace as a certainty. The following details are from another letter of the same date : We are now inside the walls pounding away at Saleytughur and interior defences. There is a good deal of musketry fire going on from houses and the tops of the houses, and now and then a round shot and shrapnel play among our devoted infantry, 'who, aided by the Artillery, are working their way solidly on to the occupation of the vast city. W e hold now all on our side the canal, except the Lahore Gate, which will probably fall in the course f the day. The magazine was taken this morning with a dash and cheer, the latter of which carried such terror to the hearts of the Pandies that they dropped their lighted potfires, leaving their loaded guns an easy prey to us ; 125 guns, besides a vast amount of ammunition, fell into our hands. In the assault " the Engineers suffered much. Out of the party of three that applied the powder bags to the Cashmere one officer only escaped, badly wounded. The enemy had loop-holed the door, and the sergeant had only time to fire the bag and say " I have lighted it," when he was shot dead. Mr. Greathed gives the following list of officers wounded on the 14th, though he fears it may not be quite complete : WOUNDED. Staff—Brigadier Nicholson, and Captain Anson, aide-de-camp. Engineers—Lieuts. Greathed. Salkeld, Maun sell, Horse, Pemberton, and Medley. Artillery—Lieuts. Lindsay, and Elliott. Cavalry—Lieut. Cappage.

Hay (60th Native Infantry) doing duty, and Lieut. Elderton. Sir - moor Battalion.—Major Reed and Capt. Bois• ragon. Ist Punjab Infantry.—Lieutenants Nicholson, Gambier, and Gustavinski. In a postscript Mr. Greathed adds the satisfac tory intelligence that "Kishengunge has been eva cuated. 1 . The enemy left four heavy guns and mor tars, which are being brought into camp.

Extract from a private letter from Delhi, no date The signal given fer the rush at the walls was the blowing open of the Cashmere gate, which must Erigerous duty devolved on Lieut. Salkeld, of the giveers. he whole was done by escalade, as the breach Salkeld aot Complete enough to enter u ithout ladders. pproached with three sergeants under a tr ernendoes lire of musketry . He was first shot through the arm; notwithstanding that. he went on tO the gate with the bags of powder ; as they ap proached one sergeant was killed ; the second ser geant took up the bags, assisting Lieutenant Sal keld, knocked them on to tho spikes of the gate, not being able to put them underneath, as the wicket gate was opened, and about 20 muskets pointed up as well as through many holes in the gateway firing from both flanks from the wall. As Lieutenant Salkeld put on the bags he was shot through the leg, and fell ; the second sergeant lit the match, but after lighting it he said to Lieut. Salkeld en the ground. I fear the match bas not taken light, Sir ; at the word Sir,' hs fell dead riddled with balls ; the match did ignite, blew open the gate - the third sergeant es c ap e d un h ur t. At the signal the troops rushed on—every one who car ried the scaling ladders of the 2d Fusileers was knocked over ; however, they rushed on, put up the ladders (many of which were found to be too short), changing their positions, got on the walls, cheered, and rushed down upon the enemy and car ried the place. On they went along the walls taking the Mores Bastion, Ajmei e gate, the other column taking the Church Battery, Water Battery, Treasury Compound, and Skinner's-house. THE RELIEF OF LIICKN OW. (From the Bombay Gazette of 11th of October,) Lucknow was relieved on the 25th ultimo, and only just in time, as it was found thet the enemy bad run two mines far under the defences, which, if exploded, would have left the garrison at the mercy of its savage besiegers. Its defenders had, moreover, been closely pressed by the enemy, who doubtless saw his time running short, and had only repulsed a final and most desperate assault by the desperate expedient of throwing lighted shells with their hands into the masses of their as sailants. The advance to Lucknow and the raising of the siege appear to have cost us about 400 men killed and wounded, as well as several officers slain, foremost among whom we have to lament the brave Neill, of Madras, whose valour and energy had made him the centre of so many hopes. We have yet but vague and imperfect accounts from Lucknow, and are waiting further particulars with great anxiety. There is a report, strongly requiring confirmation, which we trust it may not receive, that the place is again besieged, our force having been surrounded by Nana Sahib with 50,000 Men. It has, on the other hand, been stated that the arch-ruffian of Bi.hoor has been las• frayed by one of his own followers and is now a captive, but this report also needs confirmation.

This un s morning I attacked the enemy, turned hi s right, and drove him from his position, with the loss o f four guns, two of which and the regimental colours of the Ist Bengal Native Infantry, wore captured by the Volunteer Cavalry in a chlrge headed by Sir James Outran]. The loss on our side was trifling. The enemy suffered severely; about 120 were sabred by the cavalry. Another letter from Cawnpore, dated the 20th, contains the following : Havelock morning G en .

The balls went right over the heads of our men ; and, as we advanced, they withdrew the gun, and fled away down the road. The whole of our force were encamped for the night about a mile from the bank. Col. Wilson, of H.M.'s 64th, will command there during the absence of the column. We have just had news from Lucknow that the rum is out, and the beef will be finished on the 24th ; otherwise all well. But, if all pros per, our force will be there by the 24th. Another letter of the same date has the fol lowing details :—Our bridge was finished last night. We we; e at long bowls yesterday ; but no damage to us. This morning all the troops were crossed. They opposed us at a distance, but retired, their three or four guns on our ad vance, and we are now encamped on the other side without loss. We expect to be at Lucknow in five days. All quiet below.

Camp on the Oude side of the Ganges, September 20. I now beg to send you a brief account of our pro czedings, so that you may know what we are doing. I am happy to inform you that our (General Have lock's) forces are now greatly augmented, as on the 15th and 16th inst. General Outram, with one company cf the Highlanders (No. 2) from Benares, eight company's of her Majesty's 90th Regiment, about fifty sowers or native troopers, with small detachments of different corps, also a few artillery men, came in. For several days past we have been preparing a bridge of boats to cross to the Oude side, and for the protection of the workmen we sent a few com panies over with our guns. On the night of the 18th the enemy came down in force, and drove our men back to the boats, destroying some of our ad vanced works, so yesterday morning (the 19th) General Havelock had us all ready to commence crossing the river at four o'clock. The enemy at daylight was found to be in position about one mile away from the bridge, and although they were so near it did not prevent us from crossing the river. The enemy fired a good deal at us, but luckily their fire did us no damage whatever. The infantry moved over first, and on reaching the oppo site side it threw out skirmishers, and soon cleared our front for some distance, and as soon as our guns could be brought over we opened fire on them which they did not seem to like, for they soon re tired a f ew m il es f urther in, and left us plenty of room to encamp for the night, and await theatrival of our heavy guns coming over. I am happy to say that in addition to three batteries of smaller guns we have this morning brought over four 24- pounders and two 8-inch howitzers. The order to advance is not given yet, but I ex pect we shall commence to night or to-morrow morning. I am happy to say there is a great change here in th e wea th er for t h e b etter, and with this change the health of our troops is greatly im proved, and each man is now eager to commence the march towards Luckoow for the relief of our brave countrymen, countrywomen, and children, whom we consider to be still safe ; a task whi c h I have no doubt o ur b rave Genera will very soon accomplish. The following is a copy of what was put in orders by Gen. Outram on the n;ght of the 16th inst. : DIVISION ORDERS BY MAJOR-GENERAL SIR J. OUT RAM, K.C.8., COMMANDING DINAPORE AND °AWN , PORE DIVISIONS OF THE ARMY. CAWNPORE, Sept. 16, 1857. All Cawnpore divisional reports to be made for the information of Sir J.

They were, to the number of 400 to 500, ) armed with matchlocks and bows, posted on the top of a steep bill, surrounded by an abrupt scarp. They met oar aevance by a volley of some 50 shots and by a shower of arrows, This strong position was, nevertheless, car• ried and cleared by Lieut. Thatcher, supported by some 15 men of the Police Corps. 3 Lieut. Henry was almost immediately shot down in two places, one shot passing through his lungs, and the other through both thighs. The Bbeel who fired the recond shot was killed by Lieutenant Thatcher. Both Lieut. Thatcher and Mr. Taylor are united in their praises of the gallant way in which Lieut. Henry fell in the execution of his duty. In him we have lost a highly valued friend, and the behaviour of the men of the Police Corps at his funeral testified to the esteem in which he was held by them. "4. Lieutenant Thatcher's conduct throughout ap pears to my humble judgment to have been admirable. From the firstpoor Lieut. Eft itry underrated the strength and pluck of the enemy. Leutenant Thatcher did all he could to persuade him to await the arrival of the re inforcements which were daily expected from Poonah and Nuggur. Finding his remonstrascesof no avail, he placed himself by the side of Lieut. Henry, and the two raced together up the bill. His subsequent behaviour was, I venture to think, as gallant as it was ju,licious. "5. Lieut. Thatcher spoke in the warmest terms of the spirit displayed by Air. Taylor, the Inspezting Post master, and of the aveistence he afforded him. He also mentions that Amut Buss!), the Resilda of the Poonah Horse, behaved with very great gallantry. He will bring to the notice of the Police Commissioner the several men of the corps who chiefly distinguished themselves. 6. Oat of probaily some 20 men who took a prominent part in the fight four were wounded, two, I fear, very severely. No idea can be formed of the number of Bheele that were killed and wounded, as they were all ears ied off. Lieut. Thatcher himself wounded two men, and be believes mortally. 7. Up to the time of writing this I have heard nothing further of the movements of the Bheele. I trust, there fore that the attack of the day before yesterday may have cowed them. The reinforcements from Poonah have arrived, and those from Nuggur will most likely arrive during the course of the day. The Bheele can, therefore, I think, never have such another opportunity for assembling in such numbers. I lave the honour to be, &c., F. S. CHAPMAN, First Assistant Magistrate of Ahmednugger. The blowing is the statement of Lieut. Thatcher, Assietant Superintendent et Police, regarding the fight with the Bheels in front of the village of Nandoor Sin goleh : At 7 a.m. we marched on Nandoor, and as we were going there I pointed out to Henry the officials talking with Ragojee. Henry cantered up to them, and on this I turned round to Mr. Taylor, who was riding with me, and said—' Henry's going will cause a fight ; he had better leave the niggers (meaning the officials who were parleying with Regeje-) alone.' I halted the men under some trees, at a distance of about a mile from where parleying was going on. I did this by Henry's order. Shortly after a sowar galloped up with orders for me to advance. I brought the men up to Henry, and asked how it (the conference) had ended. He said Ragojee had ref u?ed to come, and pointed me out a ecarped hill which he said we were to attack. He drew the men up in a single file, and sent me with sowers to the left flank to examine the enemy's position. I did so, and reported to him that no men were visible to the extreme left. I again pointed out my objections, in military point of view, to attack at the pro posed place, and showed him another spur of the hill of easy ascent ; but it was in vain. Henry ordered the advance, and desired me to take the left, while he took the right of the liege. We advanced, Henry and myself on horseback. The position of the enemy was a most difficult one, being a high bill, with a scarped rock, On the top of the scarp, concealed among rocks and bushes, ware numbers of matcblock-men. Tne first shot was fired by the enemy, and was evidently aimed at Henry. It missed him, and hit a man in the rear of him. Lieut. Henry, in a loud voice, ordered " Charge bayo nets ! We rode together in advance of the men. At a distance of about 40 yards the enemy gave us a tremen dous volley. Finding we could ride no higher, we simultaneously dismounted. Henry drew his revolver, and I coy sword. We took off our bats and cheered-on the men, which was answered by a tremendous yell from our own men. We rushed to the top of the hill, together with about 14 of our men, about 20 yards to my right rear. Henry pointed his revolver at a man, and I said, "Your pistol is not cocked." He put down, staggered against me, and said, "I'm hit in the shoulder, but never mind me—go on, old fellow I" He jumped up again, and finding our pistols useless, we each took a musket from the men who had then come up. We jumped on to the scarp, and pointed both our muskets at one man, who had evidently been watching the path. We went up; Henry again called out " Good God ! I'm hit again 1" and fell. The man who fired this last shot was, I believe, shot by me just as Henry spoke. I knelt down by Henry, and asked him if he was mortally wounded. He said, "Forward, old fellow, forward I" Seeing I could do no good, I pulled him out of the line of fire. I then, with 14 or 15 men, charged two strong hills on which the enemy were strongly posted, and made myself master of the po s ition. The figl t lasted upwards of an hour, when Mr. Taylor sent me a message by a native officer that I was bring outfi inked. I retired leisurely, exchanging shot for shot with the enemy, mita a great number of my men had exhausted their ammuni tion. Oa returning to Nandoor Singoleh I broke up the remainder of my detachment, and strengthened the following treasuries :-Ist, Neemokum; 2d, Ankola ; 3d, Sumur. I had four men wounded—two, I fear, ♦ery seriously. I have no idea of the number of the enemy that were killed and wounded. I shot two myself, and to the best of my belief my men hit a great number. The behaviour of about half my detachment was ad mirable. I will make a nominal report of them. The Resild :r of the Poonah Horse, in particular, behaved moat gallantly. Armed with only a pistol, he tried to race in front of me. The remaining halt of the detachment did not come under my observation. Having only such a few men left, I considered it my duty to detach them as before stated, and not make any further attack. Before concluding this etatement, I feel it only due to myself to state that the attack was made against overwhelming numbers, that I strongly dissuaded Lieut. Henry from making it, and that the position of the enemy, in a military point of view, was as strong as could be conceived. I beg to state that I received great assistance from Mr. Taylor, Inspecting Postmaster in the Deccan, not only in his duties as postmaster, but also by Lis gallant bearing throughout this fight. I beg to refer to him for a corroboration of what I have stated. TORIN THATOdER, AsAstant-Suporintendent of Police. RESOLUTION OF GOVERNMENT. The Right Hon. the Governor in Council has received with the deepest regret the melancholy intelligence of the death of Lieutenant Henry, the Superintendent of PJlice at Ahmediiuger. This most able and gallant officer died is the zealous discharge of his duty. Undeterred by, a severe wound which he received In leading on his men, he still ad vanced, and when prostrated by a second and mortal wound, his word to those who tendered to him their aid was " Forward !" The fate of one so young, so gallant, so energetic, will be mourned by all toe services, an l it will especially he deplored by the Government which Lieutenant Hs► ry served so faithfully and devotedly. The Right Hon. the Governor in Council directs that the thanks of Government be communicated to Lieut. Thatcher for the gallantry so conspicuously exhibited by him ou this melancholy occasion. Lie Right Hon. the Governor in Council also consi ders that Mr. Taylor, the Inspecting Postmaster in the Deccan, and Anaut Buksh, Resildah of the Poonah Horse, are deserving of the high commendation of Go vernment for their gallant conduct on the 4th last. Mr. Chapman should be informed that his farther re• port will be awaited. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From, the Bombay Gazette of Saturday, Oct. 17.) The export market is ales in an active state, and in cotton a good business has been done since the arrival of the English mail at advanced prices. Metals.—These remain steady, and we have no mate rial change to notice in them except that British bar iron and ❑ail rod are in good demand, and have slightly ad vanced in price. Cotton Maaufactures.—All descriptions of gray goods continue in active inquiry at former quotations, bat the actual amount of business has been moderate, owing for the most part to the Dewallee holydays. Some descrip tions of gray shirtings have been eagerly sought after at a further advance in price. We have no material changes to notice in bleached goods, which are steady at former quotations. In Glasgow goods of all descriptions re main much the same as before, except dhotees, which still continue scarce and in demand. Turkey red goods of all sorts, except that of 24 yards, are in a steady: or rather slightly improved state. In prints there is no Chang• worthy of notice. Yarns--Both mule and water continue in active in• quiry, and prices have advanced to anna per pound on most numbers. Turkey red and green are steady at previous quotations, while orange has somewhat risen in value. Cochineal—This article is in moderate inquiry. Saffron—ln request. Spirits—Good demand exists for brandy and gin at somewhat advanced rates. Cotton—ln the market for this staple, there has been considerable animation since the arrival of the English mail with favourable accounts.

Pringle, Cook, and Lunhart's establishment in the same tow* has suspended. The Philadelphia Ledger of the 30th says : "The investigation which has been going on for a week or two past by the directors of the Bank of Penn. sylvania into the affairs of that institution, we under stand, has been brought so near a close that an invita tion was yesterday extended to the presidents of the other banks in the city to examine the result. This was declined, on the ground that the city banks bad appoint ed a committee of their number to represent them on the subject, sal to interfere in the matter until that committee had made its report would be indelicate and improper. We understand generally, however, that the exhibit is not favourable. The immediate liabilities of the bank, in round numbers, independent of capital stock, we are informed, are about 2,000,000 dole., to meet which there are assets appraised at 1,750,000 dols. If this appraisement and amount of liabilities are correct, the bank would seem to be unable to pay its debts, leaving nothing for stockholders." TI eßoston, Traveller of the 29th says : "There was quite a reaction in mining shares, and the few °Hess to purchase, induced by the very low quota tions now ruling, had an electric effect upon the mar kets. Minnesota advance f $lO per share ; Rockland opened at 164. but closed at 20. Pittsburg sold after the board at 168, an improvement of $3 per bhare over the auction prise of yesterday." The New York Life Illustrated says : " There is scarcely a publisher who has escaped from the list of 'failed or suspended.' We may name without discredit the following :—Harper and Brothers, J . H. Colton, and Co., H. Cowperthwaite and Co., John P. Jewett and Co., J. S. Redfield, P. J. Cozzens, Miller, Orton, and Co., R. Marsh, J. M. Emerson and Co., Miler and Curtis, Bangs, Brother, and Co., G. P. Put nam and Co., Sanford and Swords, H. W. Derby and Co., Fowlers and Wells, and others, who found it im possible to meet their engagements during this unpre cedented panic, which so completely deranged the cur rency throughout the whole country." The Secretary of the Navy was said to have made arrangements whereby the mechanics attached to the various navy yards will be kept fully em ployed throughout the winter. The United States' steam frigate Saranac, which recently sailed for the Pacific, encountered a severe gale, during which she sustained such damage to her machinery as to compel her to put into Norfolk for repairs. The Democrats of Newbury port had nominated the Hon. Caleb Cushing for their repre , •entative in the State Legislature, and he accepted the nomina tion. The city of Baltimore had been placed under martial law by the Governor of Maryland, in order to put a stop to the outrages counuittel by gangs of rowdies during the election. An immense meeting of the democracy of the city of New York was held on the evening of the 29th, in and around Tammany Hall, when resolu tions were adopted ratifying the party nominations for county officev, endorsing the Kansas policy of Governor Walker, and recommending amendments to the banking system of the State. The steamship Granada arrivei at New York on the 29th ult., with Havannah advices to the 24th. She brought 156,358 doll. in specie. It was thought that the Quaker City would take a large amount of specie for New York. The money crisis in the city of Havannah had caused Government to issue a de cree ordering an eramivation to be made as to the solvency and capital of all the newly formed joint stock speculation concerns on the island. Sugar had declined in price, and trade generally was dud. There were no freights for American vessels in pent. The reports of the sugar crop were favourable. Colonel Blythe, the United States Consul-General, had returned to his post. A large cargo of slaves had been landed in a starving condition. The steamship Star of the Wect, from Aspinwall, for New York, with the California mails and treasure, had not reached Havannah at 6 o'clock on the morning of the 24th. By way of Havaunah we have news from San Jose, Costa Rica, to the 23d ult.-20 days later than previous accounts. Gen. Cauas had left the capital on a diplomatic mission to Nicaragua. It was evident that the relations subsisting between Costa Rica and Nicaragua were anythi❑g but cor dial, and it was announced as very probable that the two old parties in the latter country would soon again be arrayed in arms against each other. The steamer Tennessee had arrived at New Or leans with news from the city of Mexico to the 18th, and from Vera Cruz to the 21st ult., and a quarter of a million in specie. A new Cabinet had been formed. The rebels in the south had been routed by Alvarez with great slaughter. The entire coast of Yucatan was reported to be in the hands of the revolutionists. I letter from Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, dated the 8•h inst., says that— " The pressure in the American money-market has caused a decline in all kinds of produce here. Our Go vernment, too, is in a fix, and some of the initiated are not silent in announcing it insolvent. There is no im pediment in internal improvements, nor curtailment in the salaries of officials. The country is perfectly quiet. The new coffee crop never promised so well, and the yield of the present season will exleed anything on re cord. Washed coffee is scarce, at 15c per lo of this cur rency, and unwashed 121 1 a to 13c ; cotton, 14c per lb ; cocoa, 30 dole per fanega of 1101bs, and inferior classes, 26 dole ; indigo, 103 c ; hides, 240 to 26c ; deerskins, 9 dole 50c to 9 dole 75c per dozen ; goatskins, 5 doll ti 5 dohs 100 ; 20 dole for 2,2401 b, and some as low as 16 dole ; figeurn ♦itae, 12 dots to 13 dole per ton ; and brown sugar, 6e to 60 per lb."

Havelock, C. 8., to command the force, The important duty of first relieving the garrison of Lucknow has been fird entrusted to Major-General Havelock, C. 8., and Maj sr-General Outrarn feels that it. is due to this distinguished officer and the strenuous and noble exertions which he has already made to effect that object that to him should accrue the honour of the achievement. Major-General Outram is confident that the great end for winch General Havelock and his brave troops have so long and so gloriously fought will now, under the blessing of Provioence, he accomplished. The Major-General therefore in gratitude for, and ad miration of the brilliant deeds in arms achieved by Gen. Havelock and his gallant troops, wilt cheerfully wave his rank on the occasion, and will accompany the force to Lucknow in his civil capacity al Chief Commissioner of Oude, and tendering his military services to General Havelock as a volunteer. Ou the relief of Lucknow the Ilijor-General will re sume his position at the head of the forces. The following order was isaue.?. on the same evening by General Havelock to the force about to proceed to the relief of the garriso❑ of Lucknow : FIELD FORCE AFTER ORDERS, BY GEN. HAVELOCK Cawnpore, Sept. 16. Brigadier-General Havelock, in making known to the column the kind and generous determination of General Sir James Outran), K.C.8., to leave to him the task of relieving Lucknow and rescuing its gallant and enduring garrison, has only to express his hope that the troops will strive, by their exemplary and gallant conduct in the field, to justify the confidence thus reposed in them. Copy of Service Message received by Rectric Tele• graph :—_ From Camp Bagagunge, Sept. 22, dated Cawnpore, Sept. 24, J's From Sir James Oatram to the Governor-General. The rebels along the road are flying before our force which marched 20 miles, and yesterday 14 miles—their retreat to , ) precipitate to enable them to destroy the Bunnee Bridge. Otly four more guns taken, but many have been east into wells, and only four passed the BuLa 'e Bridge, Firing at Lucknow distinctly beard, and royalsalute by our 24 pounders;to announce our approach to our friend. Our army wilt have reached Luck now either last night or this scorning. LUCKNOW. The force under Generic Havelock, skirting the city, forced their way to the Residency against strong oppo sition, and relieve the brave garrison on the evening of the 25th. The relief was providentially just in time, as subsequent examination showed that two miles all ready for loading bad run far under our chief works, which, if sprung, must have placed the garrison at the mercy of the rebels. On the 26th the batteries of the beslegers were assaulted and taken, and the ex-King's sons fled towards Fvzsbad. The loss has been heavy. The brave and determined General Neill is, alas, killed ; also Cowper, of Artillery ; Webster, 78th Foot ; Packenham, 84th ; Bateman, 64th; and Warren, 12th Light Cavalry.

CHAPMAN, IST ASSISTANT MAGISTRATE OP AHMEDNUGGER, TO THE POLITICAL .SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT, BOMBAY. Nasaick, Oct . Sir,—l have the honour to forward the acCOinP 6: z s t a t e ments regarding the affair which took placet ee- h y in the day before yesterday with the Bheels at Nand oor , and in which Lieut. Henry, the Superintendent of Police, was unfortunately killed while charging at the head of his men. 2. From the accompanying statements I tLink it is elear that, while every credit is due to the memory of the late Lieut. Henry for the gallant and determined way in which he leo the attack, yet the attack itself was, owing to the enormous superiority of the Bheels in point of numbers and their strong position, a very ill- COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.—Oor. 30.

Moir. arrived at Southanspton yes terday at 12 39 p.m., with the mails f rom th e Brazils, River Plate, kc., in charge of Lieut. T. P. Barrow, R.N., to the following dates Buesoi Ayres Oct. 2 I St. Vincent (Cape) Monte Video Rio Janeiro ...... 15 •Teneriffe Nov. 4 Bahia P,rnatubuco.. 22 Lisbon The Tevoit experienced very boisterous weather on the Brazil coast ; thence to Lisbon, moderate winds, with favourable weather ; from Lisbou to the-Channel, strong north-east!rly winds. This steamer landed 31 passengers at Lisbon, and brings 63 to Southampton, among whom are Lieut.- Colonel Grenfell, from Buenos Ayres ; Capt. J. S. De Gomenson, Lieut. A. C. R. de Silva, Col. J. A. Bollard, Baron G. Von Bonin, from Rio, &c. On freight she has specie value 1,0821., of which 6021. is in gold and 4801. in silver ; diamonds value 30,500/. ; precious stones, pearls, &c., vain* 7501. ; and a cargo comprising 350 serous of cochineal, 2JO brls. of tapioca 50 bris. of gum copal, 495 boxes o f oranges, 6 casks: of wine, and 129 packages of sun dries. Two live tigers from Paraguay have also been brought by tbis steamer. At Moiite Video was H.M. ship Wasp. At Rio Janeiro Her Majesty's ship Cumberland (Rear-Admiral P. W. P. Wallis), Madagascar fri gate, Virago and Assurance steamers, Spy and Siren brigs ; French frigate Poursuivante, and steamer Tenare ; United States' frigate St. Law retie° ; Spanish frigate Vida de Bilboa, and schooner Cruz. At Pernambuco, H.M. ship Har rier. The steam transport Southampton, with troops for India, was at St. Vincent, and would 'ewe on the 31st Oct. Her Majesty's ship Scourge and the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Alhambra left Lisbon on the morning of the 9th, the former for Portsmouth and the latter for Southampton. From Buenos Ayres there is not much political news. Recent intelligence from the Azul and Pata gones represented things as perfectly quiet in the South, with rumours, however, of projected inva sions on a large scale, in which Calfucura was to be aided by the Milian. Indians. In commercial mat ters there was very little to notice. The arrivals and transactions in the dry goods markets had been very moderate. For articles of daily consumption there was more activity, but the demand still ex ceeded theaupply. The saladeres were at a stand still, and doomed to remain SO for the , remainder of the current year at least. The season promised to be very late. Dry hides arrived in great abun dance from the interior rivers, and also heavy sup plies of epidemia hides from the country districts, notwithstanding which the demand increased and prices continued to advance. The case was different with salted hides, ox and horse. Hardly any thing was doing in wool, holders being firm and s „eculators chary—the difficulty being enhanced by the course of the money market. Our correspon dent at Buenos Ayres, in his letter of October 2, says : " The Government here has preseated a bill to the Chambers, sanctioning the* arrangement made with the London bondholders. It will, no doubt, be sanctioned ; and the parties interested owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Riestra, the Minister of Finance, for the courage and perseverance with which he has prosecuted that nego tiation. " News arrived yesterday of another Indian invasion to the north-west, but we are as yet in the dark as to the real details, albeit Pergatnino is within a day's ride nf the capital. " This packet takes home a strong representation to her Majesty's Government on the National Guard ques tion." From Rio our commordal advices are to the 14th ult. In the import-market business had been ex ceedingly limited since the departure of the Petro polis steamer. Therm had been but little movement in the wine -market, and prices continued depressed. Of Miditerranean red wines, sales were reported of about 145 pipes Port Vendres at from 193$ to 2405; Malaga white had been placed at 220$ to 2305, and 2405, according to quality. Stocks in first hands consisted of 2,773 pipes red and 50 pipes white. Re cent sales of second quality Lisbon red wine at 230$ had tended to depress the market still more, and although the stock of red Lisbon was not ex cessive, sales to any extent could not be effected unless at very reduced rates. This steamer having brought but 70 firkins butter, and expected sup plies being small, an unfavourable impression was Produced on prices, and rates bad risen from 640$ to 680$ and 700$. In first hands 700 firkins. Quotations for flour were:—Baltimore, 18$ to 18$500 ; New Orleans, 19 to 195500 ; Philadelphia, none; Richmond, second, 225500 to 235500; ditto, first, 24$ to 255; Stock, 32,000 brls., of which 16,000 are Richmond. In the coffee-market a fair business was done after the Medway sailed up to the end of the month, since which less disposition to operate had been manifested, as the quality of the lots at market was not sufficiently good to meet the views of buyers. Really good and fine coffees, both old and new, con tinued to arrive very sparingly, which was the more striking as at this period of the crop a far better selection is usually looked for. Supplies had in p general been moderat e w i t hi n the astf ortnight. From the Ist to the 13th October thesai sales had been 18,000 bags, and from the 15th to the 30th Sept., 155,000 bags, making together 173,000 bag, which 96,000 were f or the United States, 4000 for the Channel and North of Europe, 30,500 for the Mediter ranean, and 3,500 for the Cape of Good Hope. Round lots ruled'up to the 9th October for the States from 55200 t 0 .55450 ; Channel, ssloo to to 55200 ; Mediterranean, 55200 to 55400. Since MERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 13. The United States steamer North Star, Captain Lefebre, arrived at Cowes this afternoon with ad vices from New York to the 31st ult., being two days later than those previously to band. She brings 10 passengers for Southampton,l4 for Havre, and 14 for Bremen, and a small cargo, but has no specie. The following is extracted from the money article of the New York Herald of the 31st ult.:— " The stock market to-day was an improving one from the opening. With mere activity in all the leading rail road stocks better prices ruled. At the first board Ohio Sixes, 1860, advanced per cent. ; Missouri Sixes, lf ; Erie bowie, 1871, 21 ; ditto, 1852, 1 ; New York Cen tral Railroad, 1 ; Elie, ; Reading, 11.. Pennsylvania Veal fell off 1 per cent.; Cleveland and Toledo, ; Michi g►an Southern, preferred, 2 ; Galena and Chicago, 1. Illinois Central Railroad opened at 82 and closed at 83 per cent., with moderate sales. All the most prominent Wester n Railroad stocks appeared to be in demand, and were fr.ely offered. Almost the entire movement in the market is co Jilted to the brokers. Outsiders may be picking up some small odd lots for investment, but there is a strorg bull' movement, which is resisted by a few determined epirite, who are not satisfied that we are yet nut of the wood in our financial troubles. The leading bulls' come from the old • bear' party, but there aro a few of the old grizzlies left, who have an abiding faith in the dishonesty of managers of incorporated companies generally, and of railroad companies in particular. The earnings of our railroad companies for the month of October this year will be far behind those for the same month last. We understand that the New York Centralreceipts will show a decrease of more than 100,000 dole. The Harlem re ceipts for the reonth will he about 90,000 dole., nearly one-half of which will, wo are informed, be net incense. This road is now well managed. The mil-age has been largely reduced, and a great saving in this way effected. On the same amount of receipts the net earnings are now much larger than heretofore. The whole secret of this can be foue—l in the fact that there is now a practical man at the head of the management, and he seems to know how and where to save money without injuring the efficiency of the road. We want active, scientific, and practical men as presidents of our rail road companies, and not fancy financiers. Let a finance committee of the directors attend to that, and let the pre sident attend to the actual operating affairs of tie line of route. At the second bcard the market was rather weak, and for some railroads stooks cicis;ciheaey. New York Central Railroad decline 4 per cent.; Reading li ; Erie Railroad advanced i per cent. ' • Cleveland and Toledo i. Tae mo vemen t in _Erie this afternoon was to some extent, and the sales were principally for cash. The most irregular and uncerta'n stock oa the market just now is Reading. It runs up and down 2 and 3 per cent. without the slightest difficulty. The only State stock sold this afternoon was Missouri Sixes, at 69 to 691 per cent. The prompt and decided course pursued by the Governor and Legislature of Missouri in pro• riding for the payment of the January interest on the public debt, independent of the different railroad cum panics, awl for the prompt payment of interest when due, for all time, has had a faveurable effect upon the market, and will soon place Missouri State Sixes as high upon the list as they ever were. "The banks of New ()deans on the 19th were it is be lieved, in a stronger position, and were anticipating the receipt of $4OO 000 in coin by the Cabawba from Havan na!), and $40,000 by the Philadelphia. The Bank state rcEnt for the week discloses a considerable decrease in every main item, the precise changes being as follows; , Decrease in short loans Decrease in specie Decrease in circulation .. 1,332,025 D. crease in deposits .... 2,058,586 Decrease in exchange 105,166 Decrease in amount due distant banks 53,905 Decrea.e in deposits proper " The officers of the Connecticut banks are to hold a convention at Hartford, next Monday, to take into con sideration the proposed cutting loose from the Suffolk bank, and to see what they can do to help their cus tomers. " The interest on the State debt of Pennsylvania, due Feb. 1, 1858, will, we understand, be paid in specie. In the Bank Sespeneien Law passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature, it is stipulated that the deposits by the State Treasurer, or to the credit of the commonwealth, in the several banks and other corporation. and all banknotes which are now or may hereafter be in the Treasury, during the period of suspension, shall, from time to time, on demand of the said Treasurer, be paid by the said banks, or other corporations, respectively, in specie, in sueli amounts as may be required by the Treasurer to enable him to pay the interest accruing on the public loans of the commonwealth. " rho dry goods trade the present week has exhibited rather more vitality than has been witnessed before since the panic set in. The first auction sale of importance since the panic came off on Wednesday, the 28th inst. The sale comprised an escorted and valuable cata logue of French goods of late importations, chiefly by Messrs. Curtis and Co. The terms of the sale were four mouths for approved endorsed notes, payable in the city of New York, for all sums over 100 dole., cr 5 per cent. discount for cash. All bills under 100 dole, to be settled in cash without discount. The cata -1 sgue comprised about 725 lots. The sale drew a good company, and the bidding was in many cases quits spirited. Some lines of the cheaper qualities of silk., such as eel for $1 or less, were wanted, cud were quick of sale at steady prices. Common styles of goods, in cluding cottain plaids, &c., such as were dull before the panic set in, were heavy, and several lots were passed. Broche shawls and some lines of mousseline de laine were sold at fair prices. The sale, however, taken as a whole, was said to be about 10 or 16 per cent. below the prices obtained for similar goods sold by auction earlier in the season, or before the pressure came on. One or two sales of considerable magnitude are to come off next week, one of which is to comprise a catalogue of French goods, imported by a leading house on six months' ci edit. A heavy sale of cotton domestic sheetings and shirtings is also to come off next week. The j ebbing trade has been irregular this week, some days looking brighter and promising, though late in the season, quite an improvement in business, and agai n b ecoming dull and unsatisfactory. With some exception s , w i th regard to certain localit i es, collections were coming in rather better than what might be expect e d. The dispositi on o f th e l arge a u c tio n hou ses to resume s a l es at a credit of four and six months was considered t o li e a token of returning confidence. The cards still appeared in front of wholesale dry goods jobbing houses offering to sell by retail at wholesale price.• These curds were also hung out by wholesale clothing houses, offering to sell at tremendous reduc tions in prices.' This course of the wholesale houses have been very injurious to the city and adjacent country retail trade, who had laid in supplies before the panic set in. The export trade of American piece goods con tinued light. The domestic tee le in American cotton goods was raodeiate, and prices without change of moment, while sales were light. The auction sale next week will be some test of the market prices. Woollen goods were heavy. The decline in wool has had a depres sing influence both upon manufacturers and upon prices. The depressed condition of the wholesale clothing trade hes caused certain lines of woollen to be neglected and prices depressed. Fancy goods of nearly all descriptions have been less active and the trade dull. Should the present stock of American goods be much re duced, and cotton decline in price. we may expect to witness ere bug more or less resumption of work by Ees'ern mills, many of which have been driven to work short time, or have suspended operations." The Express of the 30th says :-- "The most discouraging news we have to-day is from New Orleans. The cotton factors are in trouble, and money is no easier. The $300,000 in specie we sent them yesterday by the Black Warrior, will be something to mend matters. Canada is feeling the pinch. From To ronto we learn that Messrs. Ross, Mitchell, and Co., importers, have failed. Their liabilities amount to about $1,250,000. And the worst of it is, that their failure will be likely to pull down many country houses. The reported failure of Mayor Hutchinson i. incorrect." The Philadelphia Press of the 30th says :-- "The Collector of New York and others capable of giving reliable information state that it is their opinion the receipts at New York from Customs will run up in three or four weeks hence to the rate of 100,000 dollars a day, and that the receipts at other porta will increase in proportion. In this event, then, there will exist no necessity lot the Government to negotiate a loan or to issue Treasury notes ; the revenue from Customs will be ample for the economical administration of the govern mod! Nor will there exist any ground for refusing to carry on works for which appropriations have been al ready made, if any such design was ever contemplated by the Administration. The Hartford Times says the following Connec ticut banks aro still paying specie : "New Haven Cuunty — Meriden Bank, Meriden Home Bank, West Meriden. " Lichfield County — Norfolk Bank, at N or f o lk ; H ur l. butßank, "Hartford County—Connecticut River B an ki ng Com pany at Hartford.

The bank at C inton and the Middlesex County at Middletown are the only two in the ' county that do not pay. " New London County.—New London Bank, New Lo don ; Colchester Bank, Colchester." Tho Hartford Press says that from six manufac turing establishments in that city no less than 700 persons have been discharged, and more h ave b een put on short time. In Boston, as in New York, wholesale dealers in silk and millinery goods have decided to limit credits to four months. Tho dry goods houses are reducing thfir prices. At Wheeling, Virginia, the Belmont, La Belle, and Missouri It on Works have determined to sus pend. At Brownsville, Pennsylvania, upwards of forty men have been discharged frolu Snowden's foundry then nothing had been done, and quotations were entirely nominal, in consequence of the unfavour able news received front Europe and the United States by the Teviot, which arrived on the morning of that day. There was no alteration in the prices of Campos sugars. In hides nothing had been done beyond 500 at 480 reis ; stock, 3,147. Freights were very dull, and home chartered vessels hung heavily on the market. Eichange on London, 271 d. -0 id. ; bills to some extent drawn at six months were passed at 27id. and subsequently at 270. • At Bahia considerable activity had prevailed in the flour-market during the week preceding the de parture of the Teviot, and stocks amounted to 7,500 barrels. There had been no fresh arrivals of jerked beef, and prices ruled from 63000 to 63400 per ar robe, according to quality. Irish butter sold. at 740 reis per pound. No supplies of Dutch cheese in hand. Stocks of wine were considerable, and dealers only purchased to supply their immediate wants, ex pecting, a considerabl e d ec li ne i n p r ice ; quotations were almost nominal and flat. Of sugar no sales cf importance had been effected, with the exception of about 6,400 bags of brown Nazareths, which were purchased at 2sBoo and 23900 per arroba ; of good browns in cases a few small lots changed hands at 35200 per arroba ; of whites no sales had transpired. Ad other descriptions being neglected, prices were nominally 33800 to 4$ per arroba. There had consequently been a decline of about 500 rs. per arroba since the report by the last Southampton steamer. Sales of coffee bad been effected at 83400 per arroba for Maceios, and 83800 to 9$ per arroba for Babies, being 400 rs. to 60Ors. above quotations by the last steamer ; there was little left in first hands, but the demand had been less brisk latterly. Supplies of coffee werecoming in regularly but there was less demand ; stoch were small, consisting of about 1,000 bags ; last sales were at 43900 per arroba.

No tapioca in the market, and good qualities were much inquired after, and would fetch high prices. Quotations of freights were nominal. In exchange transactions were effected at 274 d., 60 days for cash ; bills were still offering at 27id. on easy terms of payment. Front Pernambuco our correspondent writes as follows on the 22d ult. :- " The Teviot arrived on the 2d inst. with dates to the 9th nit. 2 and on the Oda i n st., we received London news to the 17:11 ult. by the Brazilian read steamer Oyapock. " The advices received by these two vessels being un favourable for sugars, some decline in prices took place. The supplies have been good, and upwards of 20,000 bags have been purchased for shipment to the Channel, Mediterranean, and Liverpool. Prices are firm, and packers are determined to hold their present stocks until later advices are received from Europe.

The French transport steamer Mouse, from Goree, bound for Brest, coaling in the Tagus, was the only foreign ship of war left in the port. The Portuguese Cortes were opened on the 4th by the Minister: , who were authorised to read a speech on behalf of his Majesty. It did not, how ever, contain anything which had not been pre viously public, and as the deputies and peers did not assemble in sufficient numbers to enter upon their legislative functions, the session was, ou the 7th, prorogued until the 9th Dec. The speech from the throne referred to the paralysation of commerce and reduction of Customs' revenue, in consequence of the fever prevailing at Lisbon, as urgently call ing for legislative enactments in respect to the pub lic finances ; but it was supposed the fever kept the legislators away from Lisbon, notwithstanding the good example set them by their young soverelgn. The last reports of the fever brought by tie Teviot are much the same as those received by the list packet, viz. :-223 new cases, 80 deaths, and 116 cures, in 24 hours, up to 10 p.m. on the 7th. The weather does not appear to have continued sufficiently cool to have any beneficial effect upon the epidemic, which continued to suspend all but absolutely unavoidable commercial operations. Money was still scarce upon the Lisbon Exchange --and had not the Board of Public Credit been a taker, the rate on London for three months' bills mutt have gone above 54i, at which some paper remained over. A few bells offered also on Paris at 520 to 524 ; Hamburg, 48i ; and Amsterdam, 43g. In stocks and sharps no •hu‘iness had been done, and the quotations are nominally the shine as by last packet. THE CRISIS. MANCHESTER•, Nov. 13. What effect the virtual suspension of the Bank Charter Act may have on trade here it is too early yet to predicate, but it has calmed public feeling on commerical matters considerably to-day, and we have had a m , re cheerful and hopeful feeling in the maiktt, leading spinners in seine instances to put up their prices a little. It has not given. con fidence to buyers, however, and both spinners and manufacturers compelled to realise have had to make further concessions. Where sales have baen effected they have been made at rates below those of last week a good deal, and shillings may be quoted ls. to ls. 3d. per piece below the rates pre vailing a month ago. Even with these exceptional instances, business has been on an exceedingly small scale. The suspension of a house in „the American trade here is mentioned, and the particu lars will probably be before the public soon. BRISTOL, Nov. 13. The intelligence that Government had authorised the Bank of England to extend its issue of notes upon securities was communicated on Thursday afteruo la to the President of the Commercial rooms! by Mr. Joshua Saunders, manager of the Bristol branch Bank of Ecgiand. The information was at once posted on the reading stands, and spread through the city with electric rapidity. The gloom which had been caused among commer cial classes by the disastrous advices of the morning was at once dispelled, and the general feeling was that the right step bad been taken at the right time for preventing the ruinous consequences of a monetary panic. The intention of Lord Palmer ston immediately to convene Parliament to sanction the course which be had adopted (announced in The Sun of yesterday) has also been received with extreme satisfaction. The change in the aspect of commercial matters hers within the last 24 hours is very gratifying. EDINBURGH, THURSDAY EvEriarra. This morning the banks were again visited with heavy demands for gold; but the panic had already shown symptoms of considerable abatement when in the afternoon an announcement was issued by the Lord Provost to the effect that, at an interview between his Lordship and the managers and direc tors of the various banks, they had agreed to ac cept the notes of both the Western and City of Glasgow Banks ,whenever offered in the ordinary course of business. This gratifying and reassuring intimation had of course the effect of restoring full value to the notes in circulation, and as arrange ments are said to be in progress to retire the notes of the Western Bank, and to resume payment by the City of Glasgow, there seems every reason for hoping that the crisis, so far as regards the currency of banknotes, is at an end. (From the Caledonian Mercury.) On Wednesday night a deputation from the Chartered banks left the 'city for London, with 4,000,000 of securities, with the determination, if the Bank Act should not be suspended, to go to the Bank of England and demand gold to that amount. On the same evening, according to a message re ceived in Glasgow, the Governor of the Bank of England had an interview with Lord Pahnerston. Whether the effect was produced by either or both of these circumstances, we are unable to say, but we have since learned that the Bank Charter Act has been suspended. The City of Glasgow Bank officials are making up a financial statement, which, if it prove satisfactory, will lead to this establishment's opening on Mon day. Altogether things are now in a much better state .han during the previous part of the week, and we trust they will continue to improve.
