To exaggerate the interest which attaches to the corn ing encounter for the Cesarewitch is almost impossible. Wherever a racing man is to be found, whether in the United Kingdom, in Frar ce, or in America, his thoughts turn to Newmarket and the Great Handicap which is to be decided on Tuesday. Indeed, amongst the com petitors will be the representatives of the French and American turf, and, if report be true, Russia itself will ere long send a champion to do battle for an event for which it furnishes a name. The aspect of Newmarket is certainly not cheering. Although the " special' brought a large accession of visitors into the town, and although the arrivals of horses are very numerous, yet the streets are as deserted as the most inveterate lover of peace and quietness could desire. A bright light, it is true, flickers across the road from the White Hart, and in the yard attached to that comfortable hostelry waiters flit stealthily to and fro, but the small sign of life and animation visible there but deepens by contrast the sur rounding gloom and darkness. To discover the all im portant secret, the winner of the Cesarewitch, is mere difficult than determining under which thimble the little pea is hid—perhaps infinitely more puz zling than to guess Professor Anderson's prize conundrum. It is wonderful, however, what "good things" some people possess, but the man who has a "good thing" is the very man to be avoided. I will confess candidly that I have not a "good thing"—that, in fact, I was never more perplexed by any race than by the Cesarewitch, but I will also acknowledge that I have carefully and impartially weighed the " pros and cons," and that the selection which I shall make will be one that may honestly be defended. So much has been written —and such nonsense, too—about the Cesarewitch com petitors that I shall not bore the reader by recapitulating every argument which may be advanced either for or against certain animals, but shall touch very lightly upon those horses who either hold, or are entitled to hold, a prominent po4tion in the betting. I have fro• quently declared my disbelief in the boasted ability of dark horses, and my prejudice against them compels rile to regard M. Dobler with suspicion. The Dobler is to all intents and purposes thoroughly dark, but if his trial with Black Tommy (by the way, did he ever have one ?) be correct, the horse's merits are not likely to be long hidden. The first and only time I saw the D )bier was at Reading last year when he appeared to me to be a well built animal enough, and one likely to train on to advantage. His Shrewsbury running must not be taken into considera tion, for, if the reporters are to be believed, he had no business to win in that . " land of cakes." His owner is a shrewd turf tactician, and it is with reluctance that I oppose him, but I certainly cannot " stand" the Dobler. Warlock is slow, and I do net think that he will find the race run to his liking. The Plush ccll7, after attain ing almost the sic plush, ultra of popularity, has seem i igly been unable to bear his plashing honours so thick upon him as his backers intended. The Cambridgeshire, and not the Cassarwitch, will be his mark. Lima has so long been the " coming animal," that now when we are not required to wait a little longer, she really ought to do something to justify the reputation which has pre ceded her. She is weighted favourable enough, and if her racing ability has not been greatly exaggei ated, she ought to figure at least respectably in the very respectable company in which she will find herself. Fright and Renown—auld acquaintance—will assuredly run well, and I shall not be surprised to see either of them close to the winner at the finish. Eloquence has superseded her stable companion Aster in the betting, bat I do not think she will bear the ducal c tleurs very prominently. Hartley Buck taught us not to underrate old 'uns, and oven a worse animal than Poacher would, at the weights, be entitled to favourable notice. He has been highly tried, and, if my information be correct, the favourite will find him ♦ery troublesome. I was once inclined to entertain a high opinion of Mary's chance, but circum stances have compelled me to look elsewhere for a cham pion. Neither time nor space will permit me to refer to the other animals. If Mr. Clark does not assign the first place to either 61 - 63 10 - 80,1 - 55 - 57 Do. Birming. & Derby Midland G. West.(lr.) Do.

CORN EXCHANGE. Only moderate supplies of wheat were on sale in most of the country markets held on Saturday ; nevertheless, the demand for most kinds was in a sluggish state, and prices ruled the turn in favour of buyers. All spring coin moved off slowly, but no change took place in value. _ . The continental markets continue dull for wheats, at drooping currencies. At New Yolk, both wheat and flour have fallen considerably in value. Only limited supplies of home produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abr )ad wer e 13,115 quarters of wheat, 11,552 barley, 28,942 oats, 310 beans, 614 peas, 7,415 linseed, 3340 rAposeed, 370 mustard seed, 3,390 sundry seeds, and 297 sacks of dour. Only a limited supply of wheat was received fresh up to our market to-day from Essex. From Kent the receipts were slightly on the increase. Owing to the continuance (1 damp weather, many of the samples were somewhat out t.f condition, consequently less saleable than in some previous weeks. The attendance of millers was far from numerous, and, on the whole, the trade was in a sluggish state. A few fine dry samples sold at last Monday's quotations; but other kinds were 2e. per quarter lower. We were well supplied with foreiga grain, fresh as well as ex-granary; even the finest qualities moved off heavily, but we have no quotable change to notice in prices. Floating cargoes of grain were mostly held at full quoL.- 31 i I tions. The show of barley was on the increase, but it wr.s chiefly composed of inferior qualities. Fine malting sam ples sold freely at full prices. Grinding an , l distilling sorts moved off heavily at irregular currencies. Leicester ewes and hogs, la to 19 4d ; flannel wool, la id to Is &1; and blanket wool, 10d to is 4,i,d per lb. The demand for malt was steady, though far from active, at last week's quotations. 30R. Ou(iii HOP We were well supplied with oats, in which a steady business was transacted at previous rates. Beans sold slowly, on former terms to ls. per quarter decline. The sale for peas was rather steady, at full prices. Flour changed hands slowly, and the quotations were with difficulty supported.

The sheep were, for the most part, in good condition. Com pared with Monday last, the supply of English beasts on offer exhibited a falling off, and most breeds were in very middling condition. The attendance of buyers was tolerably numerous, and the beef trade ruled some what active, at an advance in the quotations realised on this day sa'nuight of 2d per 8 lbs. The best breeds sold without difficulty at 58 per 8 lbs. ROBBERY BY AN ERRAND BOY.—George Payne, am errand bay in the employ of Mr. P. R. Newman, tailor, 102, Regent's-quadrant; was charged .before Mr. Bing ham with stealing two pietolF, the property of his master. . From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 2,600 short horns ; from other parts of England, 260 of various breeds ; and from Ireland, 350 oxen, via Liverpool. For the time of year, we wera very scantily supplied with sheep, both as to number and quality. Notwith standing that the mutton trade was by no means brisk, prices were well supported. The general top figure for Downs was 53 61 per 8 lbs, but wo may state that a few very superior pens realised prices rather over that quota. tion. From Ireland, 160 sheep came fresh to hand. Calves, the supply of which was only moderate, sold slowly, and prices gave way 2d per 8 lbs. The supply of pigs was rather limited, and the sale ruled firm, at full quotations.

Witness desired bins to empty his pockets, which he did, and pulled out the brace of pistols produced, the property of his master. Oa taxing him with the theft the prisoner 'aid he was not going to steal them, he was only going to show them to his brother. The prisoner was then given into custody. The prisoner now pleaded guilty, and was committed to the House of Correction fur three months. WATCH ROBBERY.—John Woodham. a well-looking youth, was charged with stealing .a gold watch, value 301., the property of Mr. George H. Johnson, a gentle man residing in Pali•mall. Police-constable 46 C stated that, about half-past 12 on Saturday night, he was on duty in the Haymarket, when be saw the prisoner in company with two other lads. He watched them, and saw the prisoner go up to a gentleman and snatch his watch from his waistcoat packet. Witness seized hold of him, when he threw the watch away into the gutter. Witness picked ur the watch, and conveyed the prisoner to the station. The prosecutor was not at present in attendance, and the accused was therefore remanded fora week. j0ct.12,1857. d. s. d. 13 4to 3 38 4 0 42 4 6 18 5 0 36 3 8 10 4 2 44 5 0 :5 2 5 6 Large coarse calves 310 4 63 10 4 6 Prime small ditto ... 4 8 5 Oil 8 5 0 Large hogs 3 8 4 2 1 4 0 4 6 seat small porkers 4 6 5 0;4 S 5 2 Beasts... 5.368 5,512 Sheep and lambs 17,910 20,120 Calves... 125 Pigs 538 322 SUPPLIES ON SALE, Oct. 15, 1855.—Beasts, 5,227 ; sheep and lambs, 26,880; calves, 341; pigs, 410.

CRUEL INVEIGLEMENT AND ROLURRY. Rosins Compton, a girl only 16 years of age,'was charged with inveigling a poor half-witted young woman to a low house in Union-court, Orchard-street, Westminster, and there plundering her of all she possessed. Matilda L9thia Higgins, a very respectable-!ooking young woman, about 25 years of age, said that on tht,, day fortnight she way sitting in the Green-park, when the prisoner came up and entered into conversation with her ; after which she invited her ti collie home to her house to have some refreshment. She consented, and accom panted her to Union-court, Orchard-street, where atter some time, on her complaining of being tired, the prisoner invited her to go to bed. She did so, and on awaking found the prisoner gone. She got up.to dress herself, and then discovered that the accused had not only robbed her of 75. , 'which was all the money she possessed, but had carried off her bonnet, shawl, frock, boots, stock ings, and under clothing. Mr. Paynter—How did you leave the place without your clothing ? Pro -ecutrix—Some kind women in the neighbourhood, when they heard of my distress, lent me things to cover me, and then I succeeded in gettieg home. My meth-r told the police, and the prisoner was taken into custody. _ _ _ A. young woman proved seeing the prisoner leaving the house with the poor girl's_ clothing, which was valued at 30s. Mr. Pay nter considered it a very cruel robbery and remanded the prisoner for a week. THAMES. STRANGM CONDUCT OF A SAILOR.--Lawrence Thomp son, a Scotehman. and recently paid off from the .ship Glencoe, was brought before Mr. Seffe charged with assaulting James Hobbs, a boarding-house keeper, of Strathmore-terrace, Shad well. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor that the prisoner had lodged with him five days, and was very quiet add temperate, and apparently in good health, until Saturday evening, when be came home and said he was ill. The prisoner looked very strange, and vomited a good deal in the yard. Tne prisoner went up to his bedroom, laid down a short time, and then got up and dressed himself, and Bald he was very bad. The prisoner continual in the same restless state, lying down for a short time, getting up again, and talking about things flying in the front of his faoe until about midnight, when he said he should like to have some spirits. A. bottle of gin was procured, and he poured oat a glassful, which the prisoner applied to his lips, re fused to drink it, and said "No, no, no; that won't do for me." He then persuaded the prisoner to go to bed again, and waited upon him and endeavoured to coin pose him. The prisoner appeared distracted in his mind, and attempted to injure himself and break the property in the room. This lasted until half-past one on Sunday morning, when the prisoner rushed out of bed, seized him, and attempted to throw him over the bannister of the staircase. A violent struggle took place,and in the course of that struggle, Mrs. Hobbs, who came to his assistance, received a violent blow from the prisoner's elbow—with great difficulty he got away from the prisoner, who rushed down stairs calling out murder and police. The prisoner got the street door open, and ran up and down several streets yelling, raving, and calling out murder. The police at length seized him and lodged him in the station-house. In answer to questions by Mr. S lfe, the prosecutor said the prisoner wait not drunk on Saturday. He re ceived his wages at the Sailors' Home In Well-street, and left part of them there. A police-constable said the prisoner was running on very strangely in the station, and had the appearance of a man who had been drinking to excess. The prisoner—l drank many things on Saturday, and some one gave me poison. Mr. Serfe remanded the prisoner, and directed that a surgeon should , examine him as to his state of mind. LOSS 01? TilE STEJMER, EMPEROR. The followiLg is taken li.um the Moniteur of yes' erday : " A telegraphic despatch, says the Journal du Havre of the 9th inst., addressed to the British Consul residing at that port, and confirming by an ticipation a letter from Fecamp, that has arrived since, announces that this st ainer, bound from Newcastle for Rouen, with a lading of coal, went on shore on Thursday evening, at about 9 o'clock, below the Grainval reefs. Light or nine parsons, one of them a woman, who tried to save themselves without waiting for help from the land, fell victims to their too great haste. The remainder of the crew and pass,ngers, together with the captain, 13 or 14 persons in all, were saved by means of a rope with a sliding scat. Among the saved, there was, it is said, a young man of Rouen. " Respecting the state of the steamer, the letter from Fecamp, dated Friday evening, expressed a fear of the ship's being broken up if the wind con tinued to blow with the same violence, but the de spatch forwarded this morning encourages the hope of her being got oil'."

THE NIGHTINGALE FUND.—In reply to a letter in quiring 44 What has become of the large gum collected for the purpose of erecting a memorial of the services of Miss Nightingale," Mr. S. C. Hall says that the moray collected—amounting to 41,851/. 7s. 4 (since aug mented by other Pubscriwions)—w as on the 20th of June paid iota Vie hands of five trustees, appointed by Miss Nightingale to receive it. They invested the sum in government securities, bearing inttrest. Unhappily the state of Miss N.'s health does not, as yet enable her to apply th a t f un d to the purpose for which it was raised —and for which purpose alone she consented to receive it—" to establish an institution for the training, suste nance, and protection of nurses and hospital attendants. A report, accompanied by a balance sheet of receipt • and t xpenliture, has been published by direction of the comm;ttee. MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed heavily, and Surats were about 1-16 d. per lb. lower, but all kinds were unchanged. The sales were 9,000 bales 6,000 of which were taken on spe culation. In the Railway Share Market an im provement appeared and prices advanced. Owing to the disturbed condition of affairs in New York, and also in India, business in the ma nuracturing districts of the north of England is ex ceedingly dull, and as several failures have been produced, there is rather an unsasy feeling. In Manchester several silk houses have succumbed, s and in some of the other towns, it is feared, similar disasters will occur. The losses resulting from the crash in New York must involve the credit of firms at home, and it is satisfactory, therefore, to be able to state that the advices brought home by the Persia on Saturday were rather more assuring. Those from India, also, are considered the most encouraging yet received ; so that, after all, the depression caused by the recent course of events may not prove so lasting as was at first apprehended. When order is restored in the East, and confidence is re-established in the United States, business will revive, and the strain may speedily relax/ A more hopeful feeling evi dently exists, despite the elevated rate for dis counts, and the knowledge that a rapid recovery is almost impossible. The advance in the minimum by the Bank on Thursday, and the expectation of further restrictive measures, seems to have caused additional gloom among the manufacturers, who have many obstacles to contend against, especially the dearness of money and of the raw materials. The stocks of goods are light, and the most cau tious policy is pursued in all departments, and thus there is less embarrassment than might otherwise have been expected. The letters and papers by the steamer Persia were delivered this morning. Their contents, upon the whole, are less unfavourable, and the crisis ap pears to have been passed. The City Banks had succeeded in further strengthening their position, and no alarm whatever was felt regarding them, while with respect to the establishments in Philadelphia, measures had been taken to suspend specie pay ments, and business woul I be conducted on a paper currency for probably 12 month.. The bankers in New York had deeided to extend their discount accommodation, and this would greatly relieve the position of the trading community. The next two or three mails, although they may record nu merous cases of individual misfortune, are expected to prove more satisfactory, and a slow but steady recovery is anticipated. FURTHER INCREASE IN THE MINI MUM RATE OF DISCOUNT. A considerable degree of excitement has been produced in the City this morning by the Bank of England directors having raised the rate to 7 per cent. This measure was not wholly unexpected, but so serious a movement naturally occasioned general uneasiness. Unable any longer to withstand the severe pressure upon their reserves of notes and gold the authoriti, s deemed it ptudont to act with promptitude, and not to wait until the usual Thursday meeting. Ample evi dence is thus afforded of the perplexed situation of the financial affairs ; and fears are freely expressed that further restrictive measures will yet be resorted to. The alteration applies to all de scriptions of paper, and, as there is no distinction as in 1856 and 1855, it is decidedly a more stringent regulation than any adopted since 1847. The effects of this change will be most disastrous, especially if, as there is every reason to apprehend, the stringency will not be of a temporary character. Irrespective of the adverse influence of the Indian and American disturbances, the tendency of the demand for our own purposes and the increasing stringency of the Continent indicated additional pressure, but the effects of the New York panic and the Indian Loan have greatly aggravatt-:d the financial disorder now witnessed. The injury that will ba inflicted upon all branches of business is almost incalculable, and numerous weak firmsimust necessarily succumb, since they will have to pay a most usurious rate of interest for the accommodation necessary to transact their bysiness. The trade of the country is conducted to such an immense extent up6n credit that the alteration de cided upon this morning must jeopardise such firms as have not the enjoyment of a first rate reputation. The majority of our commercial houses may be of what is termed a second or third rate character, and though highly:respectable, must suffer serious inconvenience by the enactment of such a stringent regulation. The allowance for deposits "on call" has been increased to 61 per cent.,- which must C 211.30 a general depressio,u of all classes of speculative securities yielding an inferior rate of interest. Immediately the alteration became known, the Funds receded about per cent., and it is . almost unnecessary to remark that the Stock Ex change has been in a most excited state all the morning. As the news from India and America has arrived, the speculators are in a position to form a more correct opinion as to the future, and they have not hesitated to press sales to a considerable extent. Consols have been 882 for money, and 901 to ± for ac count. They have since receded to 881 and 881 re spectively.

LELIZL) 17, The mystery in which ;his extraordinary, aliair is invOlved appears as great now as when the remains of the unfortunate individual were first diseovered, and we believe we are correct in stating that the police have no more positive information on' which to proceed in therdetcciaon of the guiity parties than that we traced out and published on Saturd:y. With reference to the rumour in circulation on Sl ' turday, that it was a medical Ancients' hoax,' gr(at indignation has been expiesFed in many quarters in consequence. There cau,be no doubt that such a course of proceeding is reprehensible to the gnat:lt extent, and not in any way to te pardenPd, but it is the duty of the press to. chronicle such facts. in connection with events of this kind as come to their knowledge, and which not only appear to bear on the subject under investigation, but such as a:e put forth with something like authority ; that doubts were entertained on Saturday relative to whether this really was or was not a murder is true, and it is also true that certain individuals of posi tion examined the . mutilated remains with a view of arriving at a correct conclusion whuther or not the body had been mutilated by unprofoisional hands. The opinion ultimatelyarrived at, we believe, 7 . was that the body had been roagbly treated by unprofessional hands, and that the saw with which the bones had been cut was not snch as that used by professional men. Another examination of the remains made this morning iti Mr. 'Superin tendent Du kin's private-room, by Mr. Painter the divisional surgeon, and other eminent surgical gentlemen, leaves no doubt on their mind that the body was cut up by persons who have uo know ledge of the mode of proceeding adopted by medical men. As is usual on occasions of this kind, whoa there is great excitement iu the public mind, various reports are in circulation as to the time and place when the unfortunate individual who, 'now there is no doubt, was foully murdered, lost his life. One which coin cides with the • supposition expressed by us on Saturday that the foul and inhuman deei was perpetrated on the Surrey side of the water in one of those many houses of infamy which are to be found in that district, is the mysterious disappear ance of a man who, about three weeks since, re sided in the neighbourhood of St. George's-road. He is described as a man about the size represented by the remains found, and attention was directed to his movements from the quantity of jewellery he were' about his person, and his 'great in difference to the value of money ; he at all times had an abundance of gold and silver in his pockets, and his great delight appeared to be to treat every one he met with that would accept of his bounty and drink with him. Another state ment is that of a lad employed upon the Morning Pose, who imagines from the description given of the clothes that they are similar to, those he saw on a gentlemanly locking man who. was hustled, a short time since, into a door-way of one of the questionable houses in the neighbourhood of Old Drury. However, the police are most active in their endeavours to discover the gUilty Parties, but we fear that their exertions will be fruitless until such time as the clothes are identified-4 difficulty which various circumstances will render doubtful for some time, from the probability of the murdered man having resided a great distance from London, and which will be greatly further delayed should he prove to be a foreigner, an inference which the style and texture of his clothes leads to the sup position of. Late on Saturday night Etheringtoe,the toll col lector, was taken by the police authorities to a locality it would be inexpedient no to name, to see two females it was supposed corresponded in appearance with the woman who passed over Waterloo bridge on Thursday nigh,t.with the bag and parcel, but after a careful and minute inspec tion (without any knowledge on their part of what was going on) he stated his inability to identify either of them, although one of them very strik ingly resembled the woman referred to. As yet no clue has been obtained relative to the carpet-bag, or the cord by which it was lowered on to the buttress. From the first announcement of the discovery of the remains to the present time/, scarcely an hour has passed without ono or more persons calling at Bow-street police station, to have a view of the clothes to ascertain if they belong to some relation wbohas mysteriously left . his home, but,hitherto, no identification has taken place. The number of such almost m e to re th such horrible leads de are frequent suppositio neqnen th at tintlie me tropolis than i s su p pose d f rom those which occasion ally come to light, and etartle the community with the horribly brutal and disgusting manner in which they must have been perpetrated. The inquest on the remains will be held this afternoon, and we intend in a late edition to give a full report of the proceedings before the coroner. CA NTEECBURY HALL. This establishment continues to gain golden opinions iu all quarters for the excellence and propriety of its amusements and arrangements. La Pressc de Londres considers it the fir.t place among met' opolitan places of recrea uen.

Miss Russell, niece of the cele brate) Henry Russell, was greatly applauded in an air front the " Trovat9re," which she sung with considerable grace and feeling, and we trust that her talents may be so appreciated as to cause it to b 3 exercised on ala ger stage. Madame Marietta likewise rendered periect justice to the pieces which sho sang. We should also notice the Irish dance of Mr. Collins, and the exertions of the other artistes, but for the present we must limit ourselves t) stating that each and all of them contributed to the success of the evening and the amusement of the spectators. We recommend you, dear readers, to go to Canterbury Hall, if you wish to be well amused." SAM COWE!L AT WHITEHAVEN. Had we not heard Sam Cowell before, we should almost have been persuaded, by his insinuating and bewitching performance in the theatre, on Tuesday evening, to have forgotten the vocation in which we appeared before him, and have joined a numerous audience in their encore. Sam Cowell is no "low comedian." He ap proaches and reaches te, without inappropriate gesture, all that was intended by him and expected by his company. He personifies human nature as it i 4, and net unfrequently or inaptly delineates it as it will be, quickly the Cc t l a ei l turning— could s l' lsir i t a ia s l t l i y o From grave to gay, from li vel y to severe. The compositions that aro r e p resented b y him, be sides being of an order unexceptionable ," to ears not t e such olild as n o couldpolit eapplaud,," are, though snehas condemn. Excellent music, too, a • ccompanies Sam ; and what is more, Samivel accompanies it. But we shall be told we are tryingtotiofunny ; and certainly to make essay in that direction on so genuinely funny a chap as Sam Cowell, would be indiscreet as " whistling at an inquest 1" But for the " Humiliation Goy ernment, the public would have had a second opportunity of hearing tl • • ' this most legitimate son of Momus. His name, however, we trust will not lose place in the memory of those who pleased to hear him on Tuesday evening; and that if ever be should revisit Whitehaven, hinted by him as prob able, that recollection will be abundant!y attested.. The songs sung by Mr. Cowell were the follow ing ;---Alonzo the Brave and the Fair Imogene ; this Musical Age ; Adventures of Robinson Ciusce ; " Perpetual Motion," or the Man with the Leg of Cork ; The Artful Dodger's Farewell to Hengland ; A Tale of a Dismal Swamp ; The RAtcatchei's Daughter.— Whilehaven News.
