ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market yesterday closed with a flat appearance, and the values of all descriptions were -id. to id. per ]b. lower. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and prices were at a decline. The Foreign and Colonial produce markets this week have opened with a very dull appearance, and most of • the principal staples are dealt in to only a limited extent. Tea continues dull, but in the common sorts a slight advance may b e noticed. Sugar continues inactive, but no quotable charge has taken place in prices. Yesterday morning, when some doubt was felt whether the Bank might not at once resort to fresh restrictions, the demand for money suddenly be came active, and the applications in Threadneedle • street are represented to have been very numerous. The inquiry was perhaps stimulated by the know ledge of the fact that the Directors were in consulta tion, but as it now appears probably upon the subject of the Liverpool Borough Bank, whose administration finding themselves embarrassed had sought assistance at their hands. This, it may be added, has been granted, and the establishment will soon be in course of liquidation. When it was found that the policy of the Bank remained unaltered, and that in fact the advices from America, at first so unfavourably construed, were of a character to in spire confidence, the pressure slackened and the market is now comparatively quiet. The supply is rather excessive, and there is little hesitation on the part of bankers and brokers to negotiate good commercial paper. Much discrimination is feces. warily used, and especially with regard to American paper; the advices received yesterday tending to produce a fear for the stability of many houses on this side. The first effects of this crash, however, will soon be over, and although many firms may be prostrated, and unable to recover for years, the predictions freely uttered Upon the subject of the probable failures are, no doubt, much exaggerated. The Indian news cannot fail to exert a most beneficial influence. Those having business connections with the East, will soon prepare for the resumption of business, and if the next two or three mails from New York should report signs of returning confidence, business will soon sympathise, and begin to assume its usual quiet and flourishing appearance; and, pro vided no new disturbing causes arise, a general recovery will no doubt be witnessed before next Spring. The Funds opened at the improved rates current yesterday afternoon. The advance did not make further progress, and sellers soon appeared whose operations have caused a reaction of per cent. It is stated that the Bank has been selling stock— that another bank in Liverpool is in difficulties— that the news from Calcutta is bad, and that the Money Market may yet be influenced by exports of gold. Extensive sales have been made, and the market is in an unsettled. Consols opened at 89 to 89k for money, and 89k for the account, but they have since been 881 and 88i respectively. The New Three per Cents. 881 a ; the Reduced, 88i ; and the 24 per Cent. Annuities 74. Exche quer Bills are 14s. to 15s. discount, and the Bonds, 974 Foreign Stocks have been very dull.

The Railway Share Market has been mode rately active, and a slight upward tendency in prices is observable. Brightens, North Westerns, Midlands, and South Easterns advanced 10s. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, ss. ; and Eastern Counties and Great Westerns, 15s. South Westerns declined about 10s. The Foreign lines were flat, but the Colonial were at improved quotations. East Indians improved 1/. to 1/. 10s. ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 10s. ; and Great Western of Canada, 6s. to 10s. Mining Shares are inactive, and at previous quotations. Joint Stock Bank Shares are steady. London and County advanced about 5s ; Oriental Bank receded ss: to 10s. ; and London Chartered of Australia and Union of Australia were at former rates. The Miscellaneous Shares were quiet ; South Australian Land improved about 15s. BRITISH FUNDS.—CLOSING PRICES—THIS DAY. (From the Offictal Ltst;) Business done. Bank Stock 206 8i 7 3 per Cent.

The water in some parts has g a r l e a a r t g ly e subsided, but in the lower portion of the m body remains.

When the line, however, is fe A. it was Sunday cleared some further dela y mug take place ere the tra i ns can run, as the force of the torrent most have affected the permanent way. A numbe r of houses adjAcent to the line were flooded, the lower floors being fi lled with water, and the unfortunate inhabitants are considerable Sufferers. The traffic on the Hackney Wick branch, Which joins the Eastern Counties at Stratford, is also suspended, the rush of water having carried away some of the permanent road. A number of sheep which were grazing in the marshes near were drowned. 20 20 10 st. 20i 20i 100 100 100 100 10 20 20 20 20 all 10 all 20 all 10 all 20i 1 100 10 100 10 100 1 20 21 20 2sl 20 (1( 17i1 a 20 2 St. 10 120 1 00 a' 100 a st. 111 20 a] 20 al 20 1( 20 20 5 20 20 a: THE , SUIN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 27, 1857. ti AIW MARK ETS—, This Day.)

OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) SERIOUS LIBEL ON THE VICE-CHAIRMAN OT TEX SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH COMPANY. Thomas Daimond Evans and Henry Thorn surren dered to their bail, charged with a misdemeanour in publishing on the Bth of Asgust a certain libel reflecting on the character of the Hon. F. W. Cadogan, Vice- Chairman of the Submarine and European Telegraph Company. In another count they were charged with having offered to prevent the publication of the same and a further count for having conspired to injure the character of Mr. Cadogan. The defendant Evans, it will be recollected, was formerly in the service of the eompany, and the letter in question was written and sent to the Times for publication in answer to a letter from Sir J. Carmichael, the chairman of the company, relative to an Indian telegraph message, denying, in the most emphatic terms, that the cempany had ever be trayed the trust reposed in them by the public, or had ever tampered with, or delayed any message entrusted to them for transmiesion. Evans pleaded a justification under Lord Campbell's Act. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, Mr. Bodkin, Mr. Giffard, and Mr. Griffiths prosecuted ; Mr. Sergeant Parry de fended Evans ; and Mr. Robinson defended Thorn. Mi. Ballantine said that this was a charge of a somewhat peculiar character,] and involved cir cumstances that s e ld om arose i n a criminal oourt. The two def en d an t s were charged w i t h h av i ng published a libel reflecting on the character of Mr. Cadogan, and beyond that they were charged with having conspired to publish the libel with a view of extorting money ; or of abstaining from doing it, also with a view of obtaining money. To those charges Evans and Tohrn had pleaded not guilty; and in addition Evans had pleaded a justifi cation, viz., that hia statements were true, and were published with a view to the public interest, and not from private or malignant motives. The jury would have to decide.first, whether the letter in question was a libel, and whether Evans' justification had been made out ; furthermore they would have to determine whether or not the libel was published bona fide, and for the benefit of the public, or for the purposes of extortion. The defendant, Evans, was formerly in the Comport/its service. Tho defendant Thorn was only known to them as Captain Thorn, of the Prince's Club, Leicester-square The learned counsel then referred to the circum stances connected with the libel, which arose out of a telegraph despatch forwarded from India in August last, which caused much excitement at the time in poli tical and commercial circles, especially in relation to the funds. The learned sergeant then read the following 1 letter comprising the libel : " Sir,—l beg to say I was superintendent of the in• strument room of the Submarine Telegraph Company from Nov., 1852 to 1854, when I resigned ; that during the above period one of the directors of the company, the Hon. F. W. Cadogan, was in the habit of visiting the ins'rument room, and welting in the board room daily —say from three to four o'clock, and I had special in structions from him to send up all messages of import ance, and, as a consequence, I can instance one parti cular despatch from Lord Stratford de Redcliffe to Lord Clarendon, dated ' Constantinople, December 3,' re ceived aids Brussels, when within half an hour after the message had been sent by the Hon. F. W, Cadogan, the funds fell i per cent. Mr. Cadogan suddenly quitted the office, and almost directly afterwards we received a message from Edersheim, London, to Jacqueman, Paris, touching this particular fall. There could, I assure you, be no possibility of these parties having obtained information only through us, and I am positive that no clerk quitted the office. That the Hon. F. W. Ca dogan frequently looks at the contents of the forwarded and received continental messages. At that time the Hon. F. W. Cadogan gave instructions to forward news to his private residence, and on one occasion I recollect the contents of the Indian telegraph, received per Aus trian Lloyds, addressed to the Times, being forwarded to Mr. Cadogan. Another time I forwarded a despatch to Mr. Seymour Clark by order of Mr. Cadogan. Again, on arrival of important continental news there occurred a fall in the funds for the moment, and the result was that about noon a rush was made to the office by the first stockbrokers of the day. Mr. Cadogan being in the in strument room said to me 'Are you busy ?' I replied in the affirmative, whereupon Mr. Cadogan took up the pack of messages -25 in number—which were lying by my side, and, taking out from near the bottom of the parcel a message from Rothschild of London to Rothschild of Paris, placed it on the top of the pile, and requested me to give it precedence. I told him that all the messages were sent out in the order in which they were received, and to alter the arrangement was doing the public a great injustice. He desired me to do so, and I obeyed ; this can be proved by reference to the file of messages, as on the original message will be found a note of mine of the fact in ink. I have not stated a single fact which lam not in a position to prove by the officer or servants who have been in the employ of the company, and by refer once to my diary, I will content myself with the fore going statement, which will no doubt completely answer the paragraph in Sir J. Carmichael's letter, and will also prove to the chairman and directors of the company and to the public that you do not hazard opinions based on rumours. " T. W. EvAss."

They were eventua ll y ejected from the pre mises, and give n i nto custo dy, a nd after he had done so the woman s t ruck bins a violent blow in the face. The prisoners must have been aware that such characters as the female prisoner were not admitted, as a placard was displayed at the entrance to that effect. Charles Adams, one of the w aiters at the establish ment, corroborated the above statement, and said Pres ton struck him twice, The prisoners Preston an d Langhera said they dem plained to the complai nan t of the quality of the wi ne supplied to them, and because they did so they were ordered to leave the room. This they refused to do, when they were hustled from the top to the bottom of the stairs, and if there was any disturbance it teas all owing to the complainant and his servants. Complainant said the prisoners had destroyed pro perty to the value of 121. Mr. Bingham said hegould not award damages over 51, but for this indecent condu ct be should fine t he male prisoners 40s. each, and order them in addition to find one surety each to keep the peace for three months. The W 01132 J , he should order to pay 205., or ten days. The suspension of Messrs. W. and H. Brand, in the American trade, was announced yesterday afternoon. The amount of their acceptances is stated to be about 140,0001., and they would have been larger, but the firm have latterly contracted their engagements. With re.pect to assets nothing definite has transpired, but it is thought they will be found to represent a fair total.

About 50,000 half imperials (42,0001.) are expected immediately from Russia. The exchange at St. Peters. burg is still as low as 36d., and therefore much larger sums would be sent but for the obstacles interposed by Government. The unfavourable state of the exchange is attributed to various causes, among which are the large purcbasea of Russian stock made in Germany and elsewhere since the interest on deposits at St. Peters burg has been reduced from 4 to 3 per cent., the pay ments for the steamers bought for the Government and private companies, large imp or t s to replenish the stocks e xhausted during t he war, and, lastly, the sums spent abroad by Russian travellers, including the Imperial family.

The Constitutionnel contains a most intemperate article on the Suez Canal scheme, in the course of which Lord Palmerston and the Sublime Porte are threatened with a European coalition, while Eng land even is not spared certain mysterious menaces. It is very certain that our contemporary, as well as the other Paris journals which follow in its wake and have elevated the Suez canal project to the height of a grand political question, could not have selected a system more calculated to strengthen the opposition of the British Government and nation to the enterprise in question than these idle thr, ate and this reckless language. We extract the follow ing passages from the article in question : The opposition of the English Ministry has completely failed in its object ; it has given new importance to the project of cutting through the isthmus. Those who remained indifferent or even incredulous threw offimmediately their indifference and their incredulity, and ranged themselves amongst the most resolute partisans of the enter prise. The first effect of the opposition of Lord Palmerston was consequently to secure to the project greater popularity and more numerous ad hesions. Protestations arose from all parts of Europe. In France, the departmental assemblies addressed to the Government of the Emperor the clearest and strongest wishes in favour of the en terprise. In this crusade against the unjustifiable hostility of a foreign minister, not only did the councils-general represent the national sentiment, which, however, was very great, but they nobly made themselves the champioas of the general interests of the world and of the superior rights of civilisation. Assuredly, when assemblies so wise and so prudent thus pronounce against the policy of a friendly nation, whose feelings they are very anxious to respect, the public sentiment must be very strong here. Let Lord Palmerston judge thereby the fault he has committed, and the danger of persisting in it. The chambers of commerce, whose proceedings are more spirited and less re served than the councils-general, do not disguise their astonishment and their reprobation at the attitude assumed by Lord Palmerston; they demand that the French government shall intervene to as sure the success of a project of which the execution will be one of the glories of the century. Thus this project does not merely excite general sympathy, it excites enthusiasm, and any obstacle which it meets with irritates public opinion, the Queen of the World, which is imposing even in its errors, and which possesses an incalculable power when founded on right and justice. Look at what opi nion has already done ! This idea, proscribed only three months ago by a minister who, no doubt, thought that he was still directing Europe in the name of the coalition of 1815, had been carried so high by the public sentiment, and by testimonials from the entire world, to which that of France has placed the seal, that it is now in a position t o a d. , _ _ dress itself directly to the governments themselves, and to count on their sympathy and their assist ance. If, then, Lord Palmerston persists in en couraging the hostile attitude of his ambassador at Constantinople, he may see formed against him on this question of the Isthmus of Suez a coali tion of all France which will no doubt cause his overthrow, and obtain from the Divan a firman sanctioning the enterprise. But why should the English Cabinet persist in policy so false ? Why should it force friendly and allied Governments to represent to it that the public wish, so strongly expressed, does not leave them at liberty to refuse their support to this enterprise of universal utility? The opposition to the Suez canal, which wounds public sentiment even in England, is already van quished morally. Let us hope that England will not persist in a resistance which would be useless and fatal to her interests more than to any others. Let her reflect on the indifference with which her present misfortunes are regarded in the world, and ask herself if it be well for her to persist in a haughty and selfish policy which alienates from her all sympathies! Let her remember that France is at this moment her safest, most loyal, and most useful ally ! Let her admit that we abstain from creating the least embarrassment to her, and that we faithfully keep to our word as a cordial ally. If she cedes with good grace in the affair of the Isthmus of Suez, she will rehabilitate her compro mised policy. But if she continue to support to the last extremity a battle lost in advance, she is certain to excite in the whole world a general cry of reprobation and a feeling of irritation which may produce the most fatal consequences ; she would thus render difficult the harmony and esteem be tween nations, which are so necessary to the main tenance of an alliance which, sincerely practised, is the safeguard of all legitimate interests and the most powerful guarantee of the progress of civili sation." BANK OF ENGLAND RETURNS. TO THE EDITOR or THU, TIMES. Sir,—Referring to " A Merchant's" letter in your paper of the 22d inst. I beg to enclose an e pit ome of Mr. Weguelin's evidence before the Select Com mittee on Bank Acts, viz. : " The weekly account is brought up to . the Sa turday previous to the Friday's publication, being an interval of four days. The account might be brought up to Wednesday night and published on Friday without inconvenience to the Bank. As far as the Bank is concerned the accounts are now de livered in time for publication on Tuesday. Delay is now desired by the Bank for Thursday's meet ing. The Bank proposes that the accounts should be made up to Wednesday and published on Fri day, whioh would reduce the interval to one day instead of four. In a time of uneasiness it would be very satisfactory to the public to shorten the period. The longer the interval the greater the risk of the public being taken by surprise." To complete the accounts returns must be made by the branch banks, which might be rendered by telegraph am, sir, your obedient servant, Oct. 24. A COUNTRY BANKER. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

The following despatch has been received at the East India House : The Governor-General of India in Council to the Court of Directors of the Eat India Company. Fort William, Sept. 9, 1857. We have the honour to forward for your information the accompanying copy of a minute recorded by the Governor-General, relative to the death of Sir Henry Lawrence ; the appointment of General Sir James Outrara to the united command of all the troops in the Dinapore and Cawnpore divisions ; and his re-appoint ment as Chief Commissioner in Oude. Minute by the Governor-General of India, Sept. 8, 1857. Recently the Government availed itself of Major- General Outram's presence in Calcutta, to appoint him to the united command of all the troops in the Dinapore and Cawnpore divisions. Major-General Outram is now approaching Cawn• pore. He will accompany the reinforced column of Brigadier-General Havelock in its advance upon Luck now, and, as circumstances may arise calling for the exercise of civil and political authority on Major-Gene ral Outram's part within the province of Oude, it be. comes necessary for me to place on record the determi nation which was formed by the Government some time ago, of ra-appointing Major-General Outram, for the present, to the post of Chief Commissioner in vaca ted by the lamented death of Sir Laivr°subdceb: K.C.B. . . beg to submit this proposal for the concurrence of my colleagues. Although intelligence of Sir H. Lawrence's deatl, reached the Government long ago, no official announce meet of this sad event, and uone of the particulars co., sleeted withit, were received until some time after the first reports ; and the details are not even now very fully known. A. wound received whilst leading an attack on the 2d of July against the insurgents, and believed to have been slight in itself, but acting doubtless on ss constitution impaired by protracted labours in an exhausting climate, and on a frame weakened by the unusual fatigues, 44zietjes, and [responsibilities of the preceding month, , ufficed to close the career of one of the most valued and best loved men whom India has counted amongst her servants and benefactors. In the course of his service, extending over 35 years, in Ramat], in Affghanistan, in Nepal, in the Punjab, and in Rajpootana, Sir Henry Lawrence was distin. guished for eminent ability, devoted zeal, and generous and self-denying exertions for the welfare of the people among whom he was placed. As a soldier, an admi• nistrator, and a statesman, he has deservedly earned az exalted reputation among the foremost, and has bees an honour to the Government he served. Impressed with a sense of his great qualifications X selected him to be Chief Commissioner in the province of Oude. In that position, from the first appearance of disaffection amongst the troops quartered in theprovinee, his conduct of affairs was mArked by foresight, c a l m judgment, and courage. If anything eitild have avorted the calamitous outbreak which nas been f. ! llovved by the temporary subversion of orr authority in 0o .le, I be-. lieve that :lie ;nea , ures which were taken by S.r Henry Lawrence, and the confidence which 'li men, high and low, native and European, felt in his energy, hls wisdom, and his spirit of justice and kindliness, woull hav .i ao. complished that end. As long as there was ac .y hope of restraining the wavering soldiery by appeals to their sense of duty and honour, he left no becAning means untried to conciliate them. When violent and open. mutiny called for stern retribution, he did not shrink. from the (to him) uncongenial task of inflicting severe punishment. When general disorder and armed rebel. lion threatened, he was undaunted, and completed rag l pidly and effectively the precautionary preparations which, from the beginning, he had had in vieve. And, though he has been prematurely removed fro the scene, it is due mainly to his exertions, judgment, alid professional skill, that the Lucknow garrison has l',een able to defy the assaults of its assailants, and still maintains its ground. There is not, I am sure, an Englishman in India who does not regard the loss of Sir Henry Lawrence, in the present circumstances of the country, as one of the heaviest of public calamities. There is not, I believe, a native of the provinces where he has held authority who will not remember hie name as that of a friend and generous benefactor to the races of India. For myself, short as has been my personal inter. coml.) with that distinguished luau, it is a grateful though a mournful duty, to record my appreciation of his eminent services to this Government, my admiration of his high character, and my affectionate respect for his memory.

BOARD OF TE.ADE, WHITEHALL, OCT. 27. The Right Hon. the Lords of the Couimitte of Pau Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a copy of a Des patch from her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Madrid, en closing copy of a Spanish Royal Order, providing that masters of vessels arriving in any port in Spain lutist, iii the event of there being no Spanish Consular Agent within five leagues of the port of clearance, be provided with a bill of health certified by a Consul or Consular Agent of any fiieudly nation ; or iu case there should be no European officer of this nature withi❑ five leagues of the port of clearance, such fact must be certified ou the bill of health by the authority by whom the bill is issued. Whenever it may be found impossible for the master to obtain a bill of health at the port of clearance, it will then be necessary for him to provide himself with a document as fully authen ticated as possible, declaring that no bill of health could be procured at such port. Under such circumstances, however, the master of a vessel must procure a bill of health at the first port at which the vessel may , touch on her voyage, where such a document can be obtained.
