4io NEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton 4arket yesterday closed with a very quiet appear 14ce, and prices of all descriptions were without any haterial alteration. The sales were estimated at )000 bales, 500 of which were taken on specula tion. The Railway Share Market closed dull, but Prices were steady. For a week past the failure of Messrs. Taylor and as a consequence of the stoppage of Messrs. Ilirrison and Wats:m's Bank, has been spoken of tlinanainent, but it was announced yesterday after loon that the suspension had actually taken place. ht present nothing has been ascertsined with regard o assets or liabilities. The more favourable ad 'lces received yesterday from America have pro laced increased confidence among the inanufac ttlring interests, and several failures, which were xpected to follow those reported in New York, will, is now thought, be averted. A small quantity of gold, viz., 8,0001., was taken . tt ato the Bank yesterday, and it is believed that 313 :te of the Australian supplies just announced will similarly appropriated, but the greater portion 5 f the remittances by the True Briton has already 4 aen purchased for the Continent. The advices received from India have formed the leading topic of couversAion in city circles since their arrival, and judging from the tenor of the larious opinions expre , sed they would appear to gave given general satisfaction, because it is evident that the rebels have been unsuccessful in most of t heir movements. The commercial intelligence i 3 also rather favourable, the Banks having t owered their rate of intaree, and most of the Principal import markets are reported to have khibited signs of improvement. Tile exchanges , 41 the whole are rather m ore encoura g ing, b oth in India and China, and it is, con leguently, presumed that our monthly exports of qlecie will be still further diminished. The last t wo or three steamers have conveyed a smaller bantity than for some time previously, and every v ariation in the exchanges of a satisfactory cha racter tends to create confidence in the future specie tlovements. The arrivals from Australia continue l arge ; and, although the remit tances from New p ork are restricted to a very insignificant total, the a ggregate imports of gold and silver are, still in e gress of the shipments to the East and elsewhere. In the discount market there is no abatement of 11 Itessure, the demand on commerci al account still b eing exceedingly active. Provis ion is bein g made , t°C the 4th proximo, when a heavy amount of mer arltile bills becames due. The arrangements con 4ected with the specie remittances at the same Period, and the liquidation of the half-monthly ac t°unt in stocks and shares, also augment the gene -41 i nqu i ry . The reaction of I I per cent. which occurred iu the Paris Bourse yesterday is ascribed to the decline are, and some realisation of profits after the recent 2~ 1( i 0 all r3i all ft. 1100 !gull all St. 100 50 3' St. 100 St. 100 St. 100 St. 100 St. 100 25 all 2S 161 50 ' all St 100 St. 100 10 31.1 20 17? 20 all 10 , all St. ,100 advance. It has been announced that the dividend on the Great Western of Canada Railmay shares will be at t he rate of 6 per cent. per annum. The English Sock Market partially has re tained the decline which took place yesterday, since 4 More favoura,l.sle construction is now p ut u p on t he advices from the East, and some of those I°ll o sold upon the arrival of the intelli !ence have re-purchased. This has strengthened tone of the market, and as there is some de bland for stock on behalf of the public, the ten dency is upwards, but an attempt, which appears kecessful, is made on the part of the dealers to Money a decided movement in that direction. goney is worth 6 per cent , and the attention of the brokers and jobbers is chiefly occupied with the B attlement. Consols have been 90 to 90k for t ooney, and 90i I for the 14th proximo. They are SOW rather flatter, viz., 89i 9J and 90 to 90i re 'Pectively.

Prices generally show a slight improvement. Caledonian, Eastern Counties, Great Western, Midland, North-Eastern, York and North-Western have advanced about 10s., and North-Eastern Ber wick 11., Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln declined 6 3. North British and South-Eastern 10s., Chester and Holyhead, Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, and Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton were at previous quotations. The Foreign undertakings Were at almost nominal values. Namur and Liege declined about ss. In the Colonial market prices Were rather firmer. East Indian improved 10s. Grand Trunk of Canada, Great Western of Canada, Geelong and Melbourne, and Great Indian Penin sular were a shade higher. Joint Stock Bank and. Miscellaneous Shares are Much neglected, and there is no change to report in prices. FUNDS.—CLOSING PRICES—THIS DAY (From the Offietal Ltist:l Business eer.e. 3 per Cent.

OF THE TIMES. SIR, —One of your contemporaries has lately in formed the public, I presume in bitter irony, that Her Majesty's Government has taken the earliest opportunity of testifying its sense of the services of General Havelock by giving him a good service pension of 1001. per annum. Sir, I am a soldier of 21 years' standing, who have endeavoured to 1-arn my profession, and have read with passionate admiration of the heroic constancy and devotion of soldiers of the British army at all periods of its history ; but never did I read of any achievements or of any devotion or fortitude superior to those which have been displayed by the handful of heroes who have been led by the avenger of his countrywomen on their victorious march of incessant fighting from Allahabad towards Lucknow—fighting not only against those human devils, the rebellious soldiers of the Company, but against a deadly sun and a deadly pestilence. Sir, the great deeds of Wellington, from the be ginning to the end of his brilliant life, never lay so near the hearts of the English people, and never found so loud an echo in them, as those which General Havelock has crowded into a few we-lie. I am not comparing the victories of General Have lock with those of Wellington in the abstract, but I do say that English pulses never s'3 beat for Wellington's most brilliant victories as they have done to the incidents of Havelock's avenging march. Yet the Government insults the feelings of the country by rewarding with a pecuniary dole the man whose name is bleesed by every English wife and mother, and to whose skill and energy, if India be preserved to us at the present time, that pre servation will be mainly attributable. I only echo the sentiments of most men in the British army in saying that I should feel it more glory to have formed one of Havelock's force than to have fought at Waterloo. I say the odds' were infinitely greater against him ; the interests for which he fought were equally great, and they were infinitely nearer to our hearts. When all the circumstances of his situation are fairly considered, the achievements of General Have lock are unsurpassed by any in the history of Eng land, and the smallest recognition of his services which will satisfy his countrymen is that he be made a Lieutenant• General and G.C.B. But probably the routine of the s , .rvice stands in the way. Our governors have shown that they can disregard routine when it suits their purpose. Let hem keep routine for little deeds—these are great ones. Can any one of the batch of K. C. B.'s made after the Crimean war compare in his services for one moment with General Havelock ? Can even Sir W. Williams of Karz, to whom the country has been so lavish, compare with him 7 Must England always be open to the reproach of rewarding with iodiscreet profusion or with un worthy parsimony? Or does the British Government act on the cold-blooded rule of the Roman Senate, which denied'a triumph to the Consuls who took Capua from Hannibal on the ground that they had only recovered that which originally belonged to the re public? It is, perhaps, because Havelock has only overcome Sepoy mutineers that he is not thought worthy of any reward except a pecuniary one, to which he was well entitled before. Any mail that arrives from India may tell us that this good man and good soldier has fallen in the fulfilment of his great mission. Let us not have to reproach ourselves that we did not recog nise his merits until he was no longer able to de rive comfort and encouragement from the recog nition. Your obedient servant, A SOLDIER. THE LATE ADMIRAL BOXER.—The gallant admiral was about 65 years of age. In a second he was in his boat, holding his helm and talking to every one he met. His boat was seen in every part of the harbour, and often in the bay, even in rough weather. From day break till sunset he might be seen rowing about like a hunted pirate, rather short in statrue, very active, quick, and expeditious. Sailor-like, blunt, straightforward, and by report generally liked. Such I fo und Admiral Boxer. —Soyer's Culinary Campaign. T RO OPS FOR INDIA.— Southampton, Monday.—The steamer Sultan, Capt. Neil Cook, one of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's fleet, is to leave this port on Friday next for Alexandria, with two companies of the Royal Engineers, consisting of 2 50 men and 11 c ffi cers, who will proceed ' by the overland route to Bombay and Calcutta. The Ewan° will, we believe, follow about a fortnight afterwards with another body of troops for the same destination. The European and American Com pany's steam-ship Calcutta, Capt. Blackmer°, having completed her fittings, &c., leaves to-morrow for Cork, where she is to embark the 51st Regiment for India.l RACE BETWEEN CHARLES LEWIS (OF BETHNAL-GREEN) AND THOMAS ROBINSON (0) MILE-IND).—This race came off_ on Monday at Mr. Robert Sadler's, Garratt-lane, Wandsworth. The distance was 120 yards. Lewis had the important advantage in his favour of being several years younger than his opponent, and this bad the effect of causing his friends to be so confident of victory that they at once made him a decided favourite in betting, freely laying the odds of 7 to 4, and in some instances 2 to 1. After making one false attempt they succeeded in bounding off, and a finer or more even start could not have been possibly effected. No sooner had they got fairly to their stride than the struggle was commenced at a tremendous pace, the competitors in splendid style keeping well together until about 60 yards of the dis tance had been accomplished, when Lewis, despite the efforts of his opponent, gradually stole from him, and went in a'winner-by three yards. The Aberdeen Journal states that Mr. Welsh, of the Observatory at Kew, ha., for the last six weeks, been making a series of observations over Scotland, south of the Caledonian Canal , on the variation, dip, and of the earth's magnetism. Similar experiments are going on at present in England and Ireland. Mr. Welsh intends to extend his o bservations to the north west of Scotland ne xt autumn, and to lay his results Lefore,the British Association in 1859. THE ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. (This Day.) The election of Lord Mayor for the ensuing official year took place this morning at Guildhall. There was a large attendance of the Livery and the pirblie ; and in consequence of the notoriety gained by Sir R. W. Carden (the senior alder man next the chair, and next in rotation for the Mayotelty), in the evidence given by him before a committee of the House of Commons, rela to the openieg of public-Louses on Sundays, greater ir.- terest was manifested in the proceedings than usual. At 12 o'clock the Lord Mayor, accompanied by the Sheriffs (Mr. Ald. Laurence and Mr. Allen), the Com mon Sergeants, Alderman Sir P. W. Carden, Alderman Kennedy, Alderman Wire, the City Remem• brancer and the other officials, in their robes of office, proceeded to St. Lawrence Church, Old Jewry, where the prayers were read by the Rev. Mr. Calvert. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Albert Alston, M.A., of St. John's College, Cambridge, chaplain to the Lord Mayor, from Ist Cor., chap. iv., 2d verse—"lt is required in stewards that a man may be found faithful." It is a singular circumstance that the procession to the church was headed by Mr. Thomas Rose, in his robes of office as deputy bridgemaster, the gentleman against whom Sir R. W. Carden obtained a summons on Satur day at the Mansion-house for publishing libellous matter against him. On the return of the procession to the Guildhall, shortly after one o'clock the Lord Mayor took the chair.

The Crier having made the usual proclamation— The RECORDER came forward and addressed the meet ing. He said they had now ti ex-reise the important privilege of electing a Lord Mayor for the year ensuing. The livery woull be loft in the possession of the Hall for that purpose, and he was sure they would well know how to discharge the duties that would devolve upon them. (Cheers.) The Lord Mayor and Aldermen then returned. Three cheers were given for the Lord Mayor (Alderman Finnis), and a groan for Alderman Carden. The Common Sergeant next came forward and read the nomination of the aldermen below the chair who bad filled the office of Sheriff, and were eligible for Loid Mayor, viz. :—Alderman Sir H. W.

Mr. Sheriff LAWRENCE appealed to the livery to give Mr. Anderton a fair and impartial hearing, if it was his intention to prnpose a candidate in opposition to Sir W. Carden, otherwise he would be out of order. (Hear and cheers.) Mr. ANDERTON again attempted to address the livery, but was met wilh biases and cries of " Down," inter mingled with some cheering.

She told hint his company was not required, and he then, with a stick which he had in his hand, lifted up her clothes in a very indecent manner, several times. She requested him to desist, when he assailad her with a volley of the most obscene language, and then struck her in the mouth with his stick, causing the blood to flow pretty freely. She called out "police," when he again struck her just as the officer came up. She then gave him into custody. Margaret Earle was with last witness, and fully cor roborated all she had stated. The prisoner emphaticaly denied the accugation, and call-id a witness in support thereof. The witness=, how ever, admitted that he was intoxicated at the time, and knew nothing at all about the affair.

The man assured him in the most positive terms that he had no intention of doing anything wrong. Applicant then toll him that common politeness required he should go and see his former employer, and gave him a shilling to pay his omnibus and back. In the course cf the evening he returned, and after some hesitation said he must leave applicant. Mr. Paynter—W hen did he say he must leave Applicant—lmmediately.

Dr. Cooke was present, and after four hours' solemn deliber,t tion with closed dcw . s, the public were admitted,' anti Dr. Co9ke rose and prop , sel the annexed re solutions, which were teconde l by Dr. Edgar, acid passed nem. con., after which the Presbytery ad journed, a committee having been formed, consist ing of Drs. Cooke, Morgan, E !gar, and Mr. Mac- Naup.liten, to conf e r at 10 o'clock next day with Mr. Hanna on the subject of open-air preaching. " 1. That the poaching of the Gospel in the open air as well as in our churches, bad been customary during the entire history of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. " 2. Taat this custom we hold to te founded on our Lord's commission and on Apostolic practice. " 3. That we are rest - Aced, by all legitimate means, to maintain for our, , elree, and transmit to posterity, this right, which we have hitherto uninterruptedly enjoyed. " 4. That, while we are T. stiva.d, we nevertheless feel conscientiously bound, as ministers of the gospel of peace, to de all i❑ our power, even in the exercise of our rights and the performance of our duties, so to live giving no offence in anything, that the ministry be not blamed.' (2 Cor. vi. 3., &e.) " 5. That, under the exieting circumstances of this town, we do affectionately entreat our brother, Mr. Hanna, as a matter of Christian expediency (1 Cor. vi. 12) to desist from open-air preachieg till, in the mercy of God, a reasonable time be afforded fur excited pae siens to cool and subside, an event which we hopefully anticipate, because, until within these few weeks, no organised obstruction or annoyance was experienced by any of our ministers during their open-air services in any part of the town and country. " 6. That we most earnestly remonstrate with our brother as to the language he has occasiona ly employed in letters to his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant and to the local magistracy. "• 7. That a committee be appointed to confer with Mr. Hanna in r eference to these resolutions ; and that they be, and leereby are, authorised to take such Mea sures as to them shall seem desirable, for maintaining by appeal, either to the Executive or the Legislature, the constitutional privileges of this church. The com mittee to consist of the Moderator, Drs. Cooke, Morgan, E tgar, and Mr. Macnanghten." Undaunted, however, by Presbytery or public opinion, the Rev. Hugh Hanna still seems deter mined to show fight. In a brief note addressed to a friendly local journal he says : " The meeting of the Belfast Presbytery has com plicated the question of open-air preaching in Belfast. What I may specially do I cannot just now say. The resolutions of the Presbytery are entitled to a respectful consideration. I have not yet seen them; but I shall act according to my own sense of duty, looking for Divine light to guide me." " Divine light" to guide a man, to create riot and ill will—i£ not worse—on the Sabbath-day ! Mr. Hanna, however, on second thoughts, adopted the wiser course, and made no attempt to repeat his dangerous experiment, leaving the field open to Mr. Matico, the gentleman who has already gained some little notoriety as one of the apostles of street preaching. There was not, it appears, the slightest disturbance yesterday. _ TAMPERING WITH THE MILITARY. In connexion with the state of Belfast the Ban ner of Ulster tells this story : "The 30th Regiment, which arrived here this week from Dublin, had scarcely occupied their com fortable huts in our infantry barracks for the second night when some of those disaffected persons by. whom Belfast has been kept in a state of tumult and disorder for months past, took advantage cf the social moments of some of the corps, in public houses, to enlighten them as to the causes and history of our riots, attributing them, of course, entirely to the Orange party, who, as the soldiers were informed, had not only gone the length of wrecking Roman Catholic houses, but had even attacked and nearly destroyed the chapels themselves and the dwellings of the priests. The soldiers, whose religious prejudices and national feelings were thus worked upon, were, in several instances (as they were heard to boast), Tipperary boys,' of whom there are a considerable number in the 30th. Belfast is, or is made to appear to be, bad enough in a social view, without any infusion of the Tippe r try element ; and, though our Protestant citizens have as little fear of being driven into the Irish Channel by a column of irregulars' from that dis tant and daring country as ever they had, we can well appreciate the motives of those who would pre pare excitable soldiers for taking part, while under the influence of drink, with such mobs as have lately brought disgrace upon the metropolis of the North."
