IVIONEY IVUUXET ND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE CITY, Two o'CLocx. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed - with a downward tendency. The sales were 1,500 bales. The Railway Share Market was steady, without any change in prices. The failure of Messrs. Douglas and Westcott, merchants and shipbrokers, and Mr. A. E. Byrne, in the Canadian trade, has been announced. The demand for money during the last few days has slightly abated, and although it is still very active, there is an absence of that stringency and Pressure which were experienced before the rate of discount was raised to 9 per cent. At that period the expectation of advanced terms stimulated the inquiry, and the commercial public appear to have obtained much more than they required lest they , should be unable to provide for future engage loents except on higher terms. During the l ast few days, however, it was imagined that a further application of the screw namely, au elevation to 10 per cent. would be avoided, but a good deal of doubt still exists upon the subject. The relaxed pressure, however, and the still more important fact, that for several days past, the Withdrawals from the Bank have been unimportant, have caused some abatement of the apprehension W hich recently prevailed. Although the Money Market cannot be said to have improved, still there is a better feeling which might at any moment be increased by more favourable advices from the United States, or Australian gold arrivals. The commercial failures resulting from the trans atlantic crisis have not produced so much gloom as Might have been anticipated ; but the suspen sion above referred to seems to have occasioned s crne sensation, owing to its extensive and im portant character. The effects of this general pertur ba'tiou will n o t be quickly dissipated, and during the L e s a. M -aiuder of the year there are likely to be numerous Tallies of a similar, although not perhaps of such st upendous kind. A s h or t time since a morni' g co la tereporary stated, with the utmost gravity, that the existing rates of discount in the American panic Would not affect the position of houses that had prudently conducted their business. The fallacy of this argument is daily becoming more painfully demonstrated. Such obstructions to the usual course of business must materially lead, not only to heavy losses, but irretrievable difficulties and disasters. Last week the imports of the precious metals Amounted to about 45,0001., and the exports to 1,300,000/. ANOTHER ADVANCE IN THE RATE OF DISCOUNT. Since the foregoing remarks were written the tank has come to the determination of raising the t ato of discount to 10 per cent ! This movement W as partly anticipated, although, perhaps, most p e rsons thought that it might be delayed until next L Thursd ay. U n d er th e c i rcumstances, perhaps it is ife best co urse th e B an k cou ld h ave pursued, for lf it be in its power to give a final blow to the e f is is) the sooner it is done the better. "" a proof that the public were in some degree prepared, it may be remarked that the effect of the L easure upon the Fends has been very unim portant. While, however, it may be said that the advance a s not created astonishment, the effect upon trade 'gust b e disastrous. Indeed, nearly all branches I Q be paralysed, and although Lord Palmerston 4114 Sir George C. Lewis may be very reluctant to 0 -°4 sent to any new measure, it is clear that Govern keet interference is the next step that will be found irPerative. Already trade is sufficiently depress :l' but this additional 1 per cent. must bring it " p ost to a stand. -he flatMarket for Public Securities opened with a tiou in ank Pric es. When it was announced that the had raised the rate to 10 per cent., however, Blight decline so ser . took place, but the market was f ro ,, I° uslyaffected as might have been expected te ;" such an i mportant measure. The American ua had no effect, and the market although in an nsettled state is not so fluctuating as might be imagined. Consols for money have been 88 1 411 (. 1 for December 7th, 891 g. They are now 882 a nd 89 to 89k respectively. The New Three per Cents. have been dealt in at 871 88 ;" the Reduced, 8 , 7 ,1 88 ; and Exchequer Bills 255. to 18s. discount. Bank Stock 209 to 211.

Lancashire and Yorkshire, North- Western, Midland, Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhampton, and South-Eastern declined 10s. ; Eastern Counties, South-Western, and North- Eastern (Berwick), 15s. ; and Great Western and Caledonian about 1/. to 1/. ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines are firmer. Paris and Lyons have slightly improved.

CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat, in which a steady business was doing, at very full to a slight advance in prices. Bar; ley, however, moved off heavily, and the quotations had t downward tendency. In other kinds of produce very littlo was doing. The near continental markets continue heavy tor wheat, as well as spring corn. In the United States the export trade continues inactive. The arrivals of English grain in the port of London lass week were only moderate. From abroad we received 11,599 quarters of wheat, 5,407 barley, 42,121 oats, 434 beans, 2,175 peas, 3,000 linseed, 827 rapeseed, 142 mustard seed, 1,289 sundry seeds, 153 sacks and 2,311 barrels of flour. The quantity of wheat received fresh 'up to our market coastwise from Essex and Kent was only moderate. 13y land carriage the receipts were small, consequently the show of samples was limited, The bulk of the supply came to hand in fair condition, considering the damp state of the atmosphere. Although the attendance of both town and country millers was by no means numerous, there was a slight improvement in the demand compared with Mon. day last, and that day's pr ices were supported. There was rather a large supply of foreign wheat on offer. Fine heavy parcels sold to a moderate extent at full prices. Inferior qualities meta dull inquiry, on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain off the coast were held at full quotations. We wore well supplied with both English and foreign barley. The trade ruled heavy in theextremo, and some qualities were almost unsaleable. Prices were nominally 2s per qr lower than last week, There was ♦ery little inquiry for malt, at barely eta, tionary prides. The show of oat samples was very extensive. Good sound qualities were held at full prices, bat dsmp corn sold slowly at a decline in ♦alue of fully 6d per quarter. Beans wero in short supply and moderate request, on former terms. Owing to a large arrival from abroad peas sold heavily, at le to 25 per quarter less money. Flour was in moderato request, at last week's currency, CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Several lots sold at over 3/. each. Compared with Monday last, the arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts exhibited a falling off; but their general condition was tolerably prime. The beef trade was somewhat firmer than on Friday, and a fair progress was made in sales at about last Monday's quotations. The primest Scots sold at 4s. 80. per Sibs. From Lincolnshire, Liecestersbire, and Northampton. shire, we received 2,850 short horns; from other parts of England, 380 of various breeds; from Scotland, 60 Scots ; and from Ireland, 350 oxen. For the time of year, the supply of sheep was again very moderate, and we observed no improvement in the condi tion of the ♦arious breeds. Prime Downs and half-breds were in steady request, at prices equal to those realised on this day se'nnight ; otherwise, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, at barely that day's currency. The top quotation for mutton was ss. 4d. per 81bs. Calves—the supply of which was limited—were in fair request, at Friday's decline in the quotations. The highest figure was 4s. Bd. per 81bs. We had a slow sale for pigs ; neverthe less, late rates wore well supported. There were 250 sheep in the market from Ireland. Per 81ths to sink the offale. s. d. e. d.l u. d. s. d.

A RUFFIANLY BEGGAR.—Michael Spitler, an ema ciated, ill-looking fellow, with a withered arm, was brought before Mr. Bingham on Saturday afternoon, just before the closing of the court, charged with begging in the public streets, to the great annoyance of several ladies and gentlemen. The prisoner is one of the most importunate and ruffianly vagrants i❑ London, and has been for sometime the terror of unprotected ladies, more especially to those who happened to be in a certain interesting situation, and it was only owing to the peresverance of Mr. Dighy Boycott, of the Union Club, Trafalgar-square, that the prisoner was on this occasion given into custody. Mr. Boycott stated that on Saturday afternoon he was in Piccadilly, when his attention was called to the prisoner by seeing him go up to some ladies, one of whom was enceinte, and, thrusting forward the withered stump of his arm, demanded alms. Seeing that the ladies were much annoyed at the prisoner's conduct, he went up to him, when the prisoner had the audacity to beg of him. A constable at that moment came up, and witness, on public grounds, gave him into custody. The prisoner, in a whining tone, made a long, rambling statement, to the effect that he had been in the army, where he bad lost the use of his arm. He bad been knocked about a great deal, and was well known to Sir Richard Mayne, the Chief Commissioner of Police. He had no other means of getting a livelihood, and was very sorry if he bad offended any one. The officer who apprehended the prisoner said the latter was in liquor, and when searched Is. 10d. was found upon him. Mr. Bingham severely admonished the the prisoner, and said it was one of the worst cases of the kind that ever came before hirc, and he would take care his career should be stopped for a time at least. He should therefore commit him to the House of Correction for a month. Mr. Bingham said the public were indebted to Mr. Boyett for giving him into custody. ►STEALING LINEN.—John Carpenter was charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing a basket of linen ♦alue 41. from a linendraper, and the property of a gentleman named Montague. The prisoner was seen to go behind the counter in Regent street and lift off the basket of linen, lie was running off with it when a constable stopped him and took him in charge. Remanded for a week. THAMES. DISCOVERY OF A NEST OF SWINDLERS.-3 ohn Bristow, stated to be 20 years of age, but who looked older, was brought before Mr. Yardley, eharged with unlawfully conspiring with others to defraud manufacturers and tradesmen of their goods. It appears that several complaints have been made to Mr. Howie, the superintendent of the K division, that a gang of swindlers had located themselves at a place called Union Wharf, Narrow-street, Limehouse, and had obtained large etuantities of goods of various trades men and manufacturers wider false pretences, and had sold them under cost price. O❑ Saturday afternoon, a police-constable named Sheridan, No. 443 K, took the prisoner into custody on the wharf. He found upon him only a pocket-book containing memorandums, a Crimean medal, and two pawnbroker's duplicates. The prisoner was given in charge by a Mr. Simpson for obtaining goods under false pretences. The prisoner said he knew nothing—even of his own father, and was very reserved. John Richard Taylor said he had been in the service of Henry Duval, of Union-wharf. The prisoner was the son of the proprietor of the wharf. Witness was em ployed as a sort of auctioneer and valuer to sell the pro seeds—he meant the goods brought to the wharf. Some wire valued at N. 4,. was ordered and brought to the wharf, which he :old for 51. 10s. They desired. him to do so. Mr. Yardley—Whom do you mean by they / Witness—The prisoner, his father, and others. 24 fenders arrived on three different occasions, and were all received by prisoner. After the first transaction of the wire, I was not admitted to the place. He did not know when the prisoner's father and others had gone. Several persons, including the prisoner, were in the practice of receiving goods and selling them for a less price than they were purchased for. Mr. Yardley—For a less price than they were invoiced to you for. Witness—Yes, sir. _ _ Mr. William Simpson, a manufacturer in Birmingham and at present staying at No. 199, Holborn, said that a few weeks ago he received an order for iron fenders from a Mr. Duval of Union Wharf. It was stated that the fenders were intended to be sent to Australia. He executed the order through his London agent. The value of the fenders was 90/. He had since understood that the fenders were sold at a less price than he would manufacture them for. Mr. Yardley—Rave you been paid for them ? Mr. Simpson—No, sir. Mr. Yardley—And you complain that you have been defrauded of goods value 90/. ? 111 r. Simpson—Yes, sir. Other persons wero waiting to prefer charges. Mr. Yardley--There is some evidence of a conspiracy to defraud. 1 will remand the prisoner until Saturday next. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

In addition to the above, the local association for the prosecution of felons will pay 20/. to the persons who may be the means of procuring their conviction. IMMENSE NUGGET.—We had on Thursday the satis faction of inspecting an immense nugget from the Aus tralian mines in the shop of Mr. Muirhead, goldsmith, Buchanan-street. This nugget weighs 400 oz , is of pure gold, without any apparent admixture of quartz, and is in the condition in which the lucky digger discovered it. It is valued at about 1,6001., is the largest but one ever brought to this country, and is certainly a curiosity worthy of the inspection of the citizens. We believe it will remain on view for a few days.—Glasgow Doily Moil. 1100 100 all all Tall St. 10 St. St. 25 25 St. 10 10 St. 'lOO 50 3 St. 100 St. 100 i St. 'lOO St. 100 St. 100 25 all 25 16 3 50 ' all l St 100 St. 100 10 3/.1 17A all' all .100 100 100 all all all all 35i -- 36 17t -- 184 ~ . - -• 31 - 3 3 48 - 50 6 .- 7 ...d , m md 84 76 31 9 754 4i 29k 9 17i 53i 21 18. 53 46 32 98i 484 74 51 94 4 E6} 51 37 I 81 i St. 11 100 20 1 20 E 50 1 St. 10( St. 10( St. 101 8 tt 10 I a] 26i al 13A al 20 . a St. 110( 124, a 12, a St. 101 12t 1 St. 101 St. 101 St. 101 St. 1 10( 10 9J St. 10 17 : 20 1: 12i 1 25 11 20 a: St. 10 St. 101 St. 101 8i al St. 101 St. 101 St. 101 25 al 10 al 1.0.6 al St. 'll St. 11 St. 11 St. 11 St. li 20 1 25 a 25 St. flOl ... j2l 20 I 1, ::: 11 5 4 10 , 9 20 7; 1 10 35 2' 30 al 20 1. 47 I 901 90 32 62 li 1011 1 i 19 36 5i 6 68 74 20 f 4f 171 13 7i 7 30 1 11 28ii a] IDo .

The banquet in the evening at the Guildhall will, it is expected, be attended by nearly the whole of the Ministers and a very brilliant company of guests. Trophies of banners and armour are ar ranged on each side of the hall, together with the arms of nations in alliance with us. The Lord Mayor's arms and those of the Sheriffs are conspi cuously placed, and stands of arms furnished from the Tower stores also form part of the decorations. At the west end of the hall will be an illuminated star, and in the east window the Prince of Wales's plume of feathers in glass. The hall will be lighted iu the usual manner with gas, and will present its ordinary brilliant appearance. In the entrance to the hall will be placed various suits of armour, and arms, and flowering shrubs, and in the lobby of the law courts numerous statues will be arranged. The display of works of art is much larger and more creditable than on previous occasions, and these lobbies and ante-rooms will afford a most agreeable promenade to the company. We are informed that the wives of men who have left a month since for India, and were sent to their respective parishes, have not yet received the 6d. per diem allowed by the authorities. Surely to such poor creatures this slight boon should be given at once. Procrastination in such cases wonld lead to the ruin of many.—United Service Gazette. Guy FAUX NIGHT IN DizTEH.—The Cathedral-yard was last night the scene of the accustomed Fifth of November revel. The "General " was absent ; but the work went bravely on. There was some fear ex pressed that in consequence of his absence the revel would run into riot. But perfect good order prevailed, and the annual demonstration against Puseyism and Popery that is now becoming aggressive, was made in excellent heart and the best temper. The bonfire pile was 17 feet high. It was built up wish 960 fagots and A large number of moots (tree root-). The blaze was mag nificent. The old Cathedral came out in all its glory, tie contrast of light and shadow being worth a day'sjour ney to see, as the old angles came out and retired amidst the ever-changing Ughts of the bonfire and the fitful gleams of brilliancy ovith which coloured pyrotecbny flooded the air. The trees were full of leaf, and autumn bad as yet hardly marked the foilage with his warning band. This fulness of the branches gave new effects to the old scenes. We bad no settled pageant this year, no local character to show up to public contempt by tLe lurid light of this historical flame. The city Puseyites have settled down into general contempt ; so young Exeter lets them alone. There had been same idea of re minding the Roman catholics of the un-English speeches of some of the Pope's partisans on the Indian affair ; but it was thought not right to compromise the whole body of the English Catholics for the disloyalty of the Irish and the factiousness of the Pope's subject, Cardinal Wiseman. The dresses, therefore, were generally gro tesque and droll. But military costume prevailed, though offus accidents, orderly , t h the Se p bu ,kysy we oun wereregret mann ot had his leg shatt ere d b y t h e bursting of a band-rocket, somewhat under car t i w c p a oa t s u sse r e e rdio ; and forgotten. o t that te there n . h The were whole d-rogcket, and was itth thrown n f o e u n n d t he necessary greu ni t o nearam pu amputate it.

SPORTING NOTES. -- 'V'`-........-_ THE LIVERPOOL .LIIEE Tire \V-irce,•ter cfmonittee were sadly diEappointed by ire unpropitious weather. The rain Tailed their sport, and rendered their meeting a failure. The stand on the first day seemed dreary enough, and only a few dread nought turfites were huddled together in the enclosure. Speculation was, therefore, dull in the extreme ; but bad there been more backers of horses the bookmakers would not have had much cause for complaint. The Selling Stakes did good service to the race find, and the money derived from them went far to make up for the deficiency in the grand stand " takings." The alterations and revisions that were made in the programme proved moat effective, and, but for the foul weather, the very praiseworthy exertions of the coa.nmittee would have been most successful. Mr. Frail i a not the man to be die. couraged, or else he wouVL abandon his attempt to establish a meeting at Wen lock, after the poor reward which he received on Fri , lay. The same cause, how ever, that militated agains t the Worcester gathering also operated prejudicially ar ;ainst his undertaking at Wen. lock. The racing inside ate at the two localities under notice excited only a p Assing interest, and, as they are not likely to influence coming events, I shall not refer to them. Really the Liverp 00l people owe a deep debt of gra titude to Mr. Top' Jam for the energy and liberality with which he promot es sport at Aintree. Why the incoma of certain hotel . teepers must be nearly doubled by Mr. Topham's ere.tions, and yet, to their shame be it spoken they do 'sot give him much pecuniary assistance. Nearly the "sinews of war" are derived from him, and ou 'Aim rests the entire responsibility of either the failure, or the success of the meeting. Racing men alone are capable of appreciating his efforts, and they do so cordially, despite the little grumblings in which ey occasionally indulge. That the supply of sport will be satisfactory we may confidently expect from the rich promise of the programme, and that the muster of turates will be large is evident from the numbers who at my present writing hold themselves " under orders" for Liverpool. Six events will be decided on each of the first two days, and seven on Thursday, racing enough surely for these dreary November days. The Antree Plate may attract a somewhat large field. Uzella and Flyaway appear to me to be as trustworthy as anything amongst the nominations. The Sluggard and Little Cob will perhaps show the way for the Welter Cup. Thirty-two youngsters are entered far the Knowsley Nursery, and at present it is difficult to "spot" the starters. Polly Peachum, Anne Develin, and one of Mr. Merry's will, however, be the best to stand on, For the Juvenile Stakes I shall select Old Times. Theodine may win the Hurdle Race, unless, indeed, Miss Harkaway and Chester discover jumping qualities " I wot not of." Little Tom and Dusty Miller ought to carry their colours forward in tLe Surrey Corinthian Handicap ; and for the Sefton there are three names—Special Li• cense, Queen Bess, and Weatherglass—which attract my fancy, and which may be as close together in the race as they are in the handicap. Unlucky as Fisherman invariably is in a handicap, yet I am not inclined to believe that his chance is " out" for the Autumn Cup. Whether the game old horse, how ever, is to be brought out again this season I cannot tell. Special License came out with " a rattle" at Man chester on Friday. Ite is certainly well in, but I be lieve him to be suited to a shorter course. I shall therefore give my preference to William Day's intended (either ST. GILES or DECEMBER), and to UNDERHAND. The other stakes have yet to close. A FRESH MAN. THE COASPIRACY IN SERVIA. Subjoined is a synopsis of the report forwarded by the Belgrade police to the Servian Criminal Court on the 24th October, on which date the poli tical prisoners were handed over to the judges for trial :--* " Not long since a horrible conspiracy was discovered, the object of which was the assassination of the Prince and the oveithow of the Government. The prin cipal conspirators are :—Stephen Stefanovitch, Pre sident of the Senate, General and Knight ; Paun Jankovitsch, Senator, Colonel, and Knight; Radovan Damjanovitsch, Senator, Colonel, and Knight; Paul Staniscbitsch, Senator, Colonel, and Knight ; and Zwetko Rajovitch, President of the Court of Cas• sation. The others are persons who had cognisance of what was intended. The three persons first mentioned unanimously agreed that the reigning lord and prince should be put to death (übije). On being asked whom they intended to choose as his successor, they replied, that they had no hope of getting a foreign prince. The family of Karagjorgjevichs, was to be altogether excluded, and they had no wish to have an Obrenovitsch. To judge from the language used by Stefanovitsch to one Peter Lekitsch, be intended to have himself proclaimed Regent on the death of Prince Alexander. Stefanovitsch, however, confessed that he had entered into communication with Prince Milosch, and had held out to him hopes of regaining the Hospoda- Hate. Stefanovitsch had an interview with Miloscb, at Pesth, and obtained a promise of 5,000 ducats from him ; but the conspirator never intended to keep his promise to the old maw, ' who is as weak ae a little child, and consequently not fit to be a ruler.' The 5,000 ducats were taken to Belgrade by a Dr. Patzek, who delivered the whole sum, with the exception of 150 ducats, which he kept for himself, into the hands of M. Zwetko Rajovitsob, who sent it to Ste phen Stefanovitsch. The latter divided the money in the following way :—He kept 850 ducats for himself, and gave M.M. Jankovitscb, Damjanovitsch, Stanischitsch, and Raj ovitsch 1,000 ducats each. Damjanovitsch undertook to find a man who would assassinate the Rospodar, and asked Mrtzajlovitsch, a Cus tom-house clerk, it he could recommend a trusty individual. The reply was in the affirmative, and a certain Milosaw Petrovitscb, a robber and murderer, was soon introduced to the principal conspirators. A passport and a rifle were procured for Milosaw, and, after information as to where the Prince was to be found had been given him, 40 ducats were put into his hands by Paun Jankovitsch as earnest money'" Her Majesty has been pleased to issue to the late Lord Mayor (Mr. Alderman Finale) a new Commission of Lieutenancy for the city of London. and the following gentlemen have been appointed commissioners :—Mr. Lewis L'ovd, Mr. C. Magniac, Mr. J. M. Daniel, Mr. Duncan Dauber, Mr. W. S. Lindsay, M.P., Mr. G. M diatt, M.P., Mr. Undereheriff Parker, Mr. J. P. Fisher, Mr. J. Bonus, Mr. T. K. Lynch, Mr. C, Skipper, Mr. R. L. Taylor, Mr. G. G. Glyn, 361. P., and Mr, C. W. Dilke THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE Snow.—The annual cattle show of the Smithfield Club for 1857 is fixed to takeplace on Tuesday the Bth, Wednesday the 9th, Thurs day the 10th, and Friday the 11th of December, at the Baker-street Bazaar. The club have increased their money prizes this year from the usual average of about 6501. to 1,0511. The number of classes into which the show is to be divided this year has been increased from 32 to 42, separate classes have been assigned, pursuant to reso lutions passed at the last annual general meeting of the Swithfield Ciub, to the Sussex breed of cattle, Norfolk or Suffolk polled breed, Scotch polled breed, Icish breed, and Welsh breed. The stewards for the ensuing chow are :—For beasts and long-wooled sheep, Mr. James Hole, Mr. Wm. Sanday, and Mr. Wm. Torr ; for short wooled sheep, cross-bred sheep, and pigs, Mr. Edward Fruit, Mr, Henry Fookes, and Mr. Jonas Webb. THE LIABILITIES OF MESSRS, NAYLOR, OF SHEFFIELD. —The satisfactory intelligence has been received from Sheffield that the liabilities of Messrs. Naylor, Vickers, and Cu., instead of amounting to 1,000,0001., as reported in some quarters, do not exceed 450,0001. or 500,0001., and that no other firm in the district is likely to be brought down by their suspension, Some of the prin cipal creditors are in Sweden, and the only r(a+on for delaying till the 24th inst. the meeting at which a precise statement will be presented is in order that representa tives of these parties may be present. It is understood that the stock of iron held by the firm in America and England is worth 270,0001., and that every debt owing to them in America is of a character on which any sound and prudent house might have implicitly relied. The blow, therefore, has been one of the most sadden that has ever fallen on any mercantile establishment, and it is believed that the entire proceedings connected with it, instead of damaging the future reputation of the partners, will add to the confidence hitherto placed in them.— Ti/nes.
