MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. 81u . CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, and prices tended downwards. The sales were estimated at 3,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and values were without alteration. In the Colonial Produce Markets, the alteration of the Bank rate of discount to 8 per cent. has not had• ranch influence at present, but a general restriction of business will no doubt be experienced. The demand for most of the principal articles is confined to immediate wants, but the quotations are firm and both sugar and coffee are dearer. .Tallow is in request, and P.Y. C. has advanoed to 565. 9d. per cwt. on the spot. The public sale of Indigo yesterday passed off with less firmness, but upon the whole, prices have been well maintained. The series will terminate to-day. Additions are being made almost daily, to the list of failed firms, whose difficulties have been caused by the disturbed btate of affairs in America. It was announced, yesterday afternoon, that Messrs. Auld and Buchanan, of Glasgow, merchants and shippers had succumbed, and the liabilities are estimated at 100,0001. The numerous casual ties reported by the Ariel will, doubtless, occasion severe embarrassment on this side, but in other department s of business not connected with the United States, there is a free dom from disaster, and notwithstanding the in creased dearness of money, no general distress is, for a moment, anticipated. The Agamemnon, Captain Hyne, London to Calcutta, with part of the 10th and 84th Regiments, Was spoken with (22 days out), from Dartmouth, lat. 1.32 S., 22.36 W. The Heather Bell, Arms 'worth, from Victoria, has arrived in the Downs in 69 days, havingl9,674 oz. of gold on board, valued at 78,5961. This small remittance is very oppor tune, considering the current demand fOr gold, and if further arrivals soon take place, they will materially assist in checking withdrawals from the Bank, which, is spite of the advance of the minimum to 8 per cent., will doubtless continue. The present rate of exchange at New York will St. t: admit of imports of gold being made at a large go profit ; and hence it is imagined that the existing 25 restrictions will not entirely prevent the efflux. 100 25 The advance in the minimum rate of discount to 50 8 per cent. has not produced so much excitement 20 as might Save been expected from so important an st. alteration. The advises from America had pre- 50 pared the public for the change. As it had not been adopted in the early part of the day, but was delayed till half-past 2, an impression prevailed St. that it would be postponed till the pa rlour meet- sstt: ing on Thursday next. It was stated, how- 25 ever, that a large order for sovereigns 2 50 5 had been received on American account, st and this rendered it necessary to impose st. 10 additional res trictions with the utmost promptitude. The discount houses have raised their terms from 20 7to 7 per cent. for loans at call and for short ig notice. This, no doubt, will insure a liberal supply st. from the public, who may be attracted by such a 20 high rate of interest ; and, as the demand must 10 necessarily be checked, it is expected that the st. money market will speedily show some symptoms sstt.• of relaxatien. This measure is even more sttin -500 gent than any adopted in 1847, for when 8 per st cent. was then established a distinction was made 10 with regard to the date of paper tendered for ne- -4 g o ti a tion, but in the present in stance that rate is 20 applicable to all description of bills. 20 The Bank of France have raised the rate 2 2 5 5 of discount to i per cent., the highest 25 point, we believe, ever attained, the old charter baying limited the charge to 6 per cent. St. This determination to act, as occasion may require, 25 has given satisfaction, as it is only by the exercise E of the most restrictive regulations that the autho- 50 cities can combat with the extraordinary pressure, 20 and he instrumental in eventually bringing affairs 10 round to a healthy condition. 5 Advises just received from Paris, by telegraph, 20 report a decline in the Three per Cents. Rentes to 10 66f. 50c. 20 in The Funds have been buoyant to-day, and a re- =— action of per cent. from yesterday's closing prices kas taken place. Business ie dull, but steady pur- 118 c hases for investment are made , and these 18 strengthen the market. Until it is ascertained 18 whether the measure adopted in Threadneedle -100 street, will prevent the drain of gold to America, 100 the operators will no doubt use great caution. 100 Consols have improved to 884 a for money, and 2C to 883 A for account. They are now 88f 4 and 88l respectively. Exchequer Bills are flatter, viz., 15s. to 10s. discount. India Bonds are 235. discount. The New Threes, 87 ; and the Reduced 87± Bank Stock, 212 to 214 ; and India ditto, 208 20 to 210. 100 Foreign Stocks were very dull. Turkis h 6 per is,g Cents. however are 874 88, being firmer. Swedish 4 per Cents., 83 ; Russian, 106 ; Peruvian 77 ; andloo Dutch 4 per Cents., 97±. 20 The following are the nominal prices of Foreign 20 Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5 6 ; Mexi can, 19 19± ; Peruvian 4± per Cents., 75 77 ; 100' ditto 3 per Cents., 52 54 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 1 0 0 0 43 44 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 105 108 ; ditto 4± 100 er Cents., 95 97 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 401 40i ; ditto New Deferred, 25g 251. _ . In the Railway Share Market this morning a slight downward tendency has prevailed, notwith standing the buoyancy of the Funds, some of the principal lines being at a slight decline upon pre vious quotations. Great Northern, North-Eastern (Berwick), and Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton, receded about ss. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, North British, and South-Eastern, 10s. ; Eastern Counties, 15s. ; and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and Midland, 1/. The French and Canadian lines were also at depressed quotations. Paris and Lyons declined 10s. Lombardo-Venetian, 10s., Great Western of Canada receded 55., and Grand Trunk of Canada Jl. to 11. 10s. East Indian were dull, and declined about 11. Mining Shares exhibited little variation in value. Alfred Consols were dealt in at 131 14, St. John del Roy at 13/, and Lusitanian at 1. Joint Stock Bank Shares are steady. Oriental Bank have receded about ss. In the Miscellaneous Market prices remain much the same as before. The meeting of the General Omnibus Company to-day was adjourned till further notice. BRITISH FUNDS.—CLOSING PRICES—THIS DAY. arm the Official List:) Businers done. rook Stock 3 per Cent.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE LACHER AND BITTER. These bankrupts had carried on business in New Ba sirighall-street as merchants, and to-day came up for their certificates, the consideration of which had been ad journed in order to ascertain the amount of the debts and 'assets. The former were stated by Messrs. Paul and Turner at upwards of 3,0001., but on the examina tion it appeared that the assets did not amount to 150/., which persons coming before the Court on their own petitions were required to produce. The consequence was, that although the bankrupts were allowed to pass their last examination, the consideration of the certificate WAS adjourned from time to time tillthe required amount was paid in to the estate. His Honour said, that although 18 months had elapsed since the bankruptcy, it was the fault of the bankrupts ; but the justice of the case would be met by a suspension of the certificate for three months from the present date, anl then to be of the second class; protection in the interim.

Mr. Cummi ng , i nspector o f the B division, said that Henry Watson was so seriously injured that he was unable to attend. It was not known what money he had lost. It appeared from the evidence that about seven o'clock last night the complainants were in Queen-street, Chel sea, when they were suddenly attacked by the prisoners. He (Watson, jun.) was seized hold of by three women and forced into the road, and at the same time he was knocked about the head by Green. While he was re moved from his father the latter was hustled by the other prisoners, and he was knocked about by them. The assault upon the elder prosecutor was most violent and determined. Two females, named Jane Ward and Mary Anne Ward, who were at a window in Cluesn'e.row, stated that they saw the elder Watson standing in the midst of the prisoners, several of whom were knocking him about. Mr. Paynter asked Win. Watson if he had lost any money, and in answer he stated that be bad lost 164. Ire recollected Stanley feeling hie pockets while he was being struck by Green. M.

Mr. Salle said the prisoner was a very had fellow, and a disgrace to the uniform he was wearing. He sen tenced him to pay a fine of 51. for illegally pawning a coat, part of the stolen property, and 10s., the value thereof, and in default of payment to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for three calendar months. The prisoner was sent away in the van to prison. MA.RLEOROUGH-STREET.

The prosecutor deposed that he was at present resid ing at No. 40, Conduit-street. The prisoner had been his servant up to Saturzlay last, when be was discharged. Yesterday morning prosecutor left home about 11 o'clock to go on board his ship, having previously deposited 451. in notes, and 601. in gold in his desk, which he locked and put the key in his pocket. On his return about six o'clock he had occasion to go to his desk, when he found that the lock had been tampered with, so that he could not unlock it. He questioned his other servants as to who had been in his room, when he was told that the prisoner had called and been up stairs, where he remained a short time, and then left.

EIIBIEKATION OF SIEGE TRAINS FOR INDlA.—Wool wich, Oct. 19.—This teortain4 at nine, the officers and man of Captain Dy J field battery, of the 6th battalion Royal Artillery, as;embled on the Common for inspection previous to embarkation on board the Vis count Canning screw steam vessel for India. This batterywill form part of th e heavy siege train, the guns being iogthose which were returned from the Crimea at the close of the Russian war. The whole of the men pre sented a most soldier-like appearance, and the majority were decorated with tha Sebastopol medal and various I c l asps . After inspectio n the officers and men formed in marching order and proceeded hem the gataison to the Royal Arsenal Pier, accompanied by the whole of the Sir W. F. Wi!liams, commandant, and Lieutenant - Colonel C. C. Teesdale, C. 8., his aide-de-camp. The streets were as usual thronged by a tnultinde of specta tors, who louldy cheered the troops. preceded by Major-General THE MEDITERRANEAN AND INDIAN TELEGRAPHS. Yesterday the expedition for laying the subma rine telegraph to connect England with Malta and. Corfu, via Sardinia, left Liverpool for the Mediter ranean, and as the future of the entire system of European submarine telegraphic communication, including the ultimate extension of it to India, may be said to hang on the snccess or otherwise of the enterprise, the latest intelligence on the subject cannot fail to be of interest. _ The cable, which has been manufactured at the works of Messrs. Newall, at Birkenhead, is about 920 miles in length, of the same diameter as that manufactured for the Atlantic Telegraph Company. The first section of the line between the coast of Sardinia and Malta will require 350 miles of cable, and the second, between Malta and Corfu, about the same ; the remaining 220 being reserved for the purpose of what is called slack, and to meet contingencies. The whole extent has been coiled up into the hold of the Blazer, placed at the disposal of the expedition by her Majesty's government, and which was the vessel engaged in laying down the first submarine telegraph between Dover and Calais. The engineers are Messrs. if ewall arid Mr. Webb, who had the laying down of the Orfordness cable, and they will be joined at Cagliari by the representatives of the French and Sardinian govern ments, who alsofurnish vesselsand other assistance. The plateau of the Mediterranean, between Sar dinia, Malta, and Corfu, presents far more favour able conditions fur the submergence of the cable than that part between Sardinia and Algiers, where the depths are between one and two miles. The greatest depth to be encountered between S irdinia, Malta, and Corfu is but one mile, the average being a dead level of not greater than half a mile, and the physical configuration of the bottom being free from those rocks and obstructions so opposed to the successful operations of the telegraphic engineer. All the most perfect appliances in the shape of machinery and mechanical skill have been secured for the occasion and are of a character consistent with the importance of the enterprise. In the event of this great sub marine link being successfully completed between Sardinia and Corfu, it will be the means of sup plying the British Government and the East India Company with a directroute as far asporfu toward India and Australia, besides affording to the French and Sardinian Governments, and the other south ern countries of Europe, a means of direct commu nication with the East. Amongst its other advan tages is the instantaneous communication it wines ta blish between England and the important Govern ment station and port of Malta, at present touched at by nearly all the vessels shat navigate the Me diterranean, and from which:Government and other despatches are so numerous and so important. The entire length of the line will be 700 nautical miles. Her Majesty's Government have contracted to pay for the transmission of their official telegrams" and those of the East India Company, an annual sum of 72001 fur 25 years. With a view to the extension of tie line to India via Alexandria, Selucia, the Persian Gulf, and Kurrachee, through the medium of either of the projected Red Sea or Euphrates Valley lines, a con cession has been obtained from the Austrian Govern ment for a submarine line from Ragusa, on the shores of the Adriatic (forking out of the Corfu cab] e) to Can dia, and thence to Alexandria, which will bring Bom bay within 15 days of London ; and when eitherthe Red Sea or Euphrates lines shall be carried out in continuation, the juxtaposition of the English and Indian capitals, as regards the transmission of intel ligence, will be, so to speak, instantaneous. Then will he realised the celebrated saying of Lord Pal merston in 1847, in the 'louse of Commons, when foreshadowing the advance of the great submarine communication. " The day," said his lordship, " would arrive when, if the minister were asked in the House of Commons whether a war had broken out in India," he would answer, " Wait a moment, and we'll telegraph to the Governor- General and tell your.'

LOSS OF THE SHIP RICHARD ANDERSON, SOUTH AMPTON, Saturday.—The captain and crew of the American ship Richard Anderson, arrived at South ampton to-day, gives the following report of the loss of the ship :—She left Rotterdam for Baltimore on the 29th of August, and on the 23d of September, in lat. 44 9 N, long. 33 12 W, she sprang a leak. The water continued to increase, notwithstanding the constant exertions of the crew at the pump... On the 27th of September a hurricane from the south-west burst over the dovoted ship, stripping her o all her sails, and throwing her upon her beam-ends, 7.1.11 the cargo got adrift, and the water continued to increase until i he hold was neaey full. In this state they continued, expecting the ship to go down every moment, until the 29th, when the barque Ville de Fecatnp hove in sight, and took the captain and 15 of the crew off the wreck (one of the crew was washed overboard in the storm). They were soon after transferred to the barque Sir Edward Parry, bound to London, and landed at Weyfihouth, from whence they came on to Southampton, and had an interview with the American consul. ' NEW ACT ON THE METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. —An act of Parliament was passed i❑ the late session to amend the Metropolitan Cattle Market Act of 1851, under which the New Smithfield Market was erected. The object of the new statute is to give new and more extensive powers to the City of London. The former act is newly repealed by the present, and the 21st Geo. 111., cap. 67, amended. By this act a " Dead Meat Market" may be established by the corporation, and they may make improve. clients in the present market, and establish new markets, but Smithfield is to remain closed as a cattle market. The management and control of the metropolitan market is placed under the Common Council. Bye-laws may be made and regulations framed with respect to the driving of cattle, by the City and the Metropolitan Police Commissioners, which are to be sanctioned and published. The City is empowered by the present act to dispose of ground which they had taken, but which is not required for the present market ; they may make improvements, and do other acts to make the market available for the purposes intended. Certain tolls and dues are to be prescribed, with the approval of the Se. cretary of State ; and the City is authorised, with the consent of the Treasury, to raise 400,0001. for the pur poses of the act. Accounts are to be kept, and reports laid before Parliament. The slaughter-houses are to be licensed by justices. Some extensive powers are con ferred on the City by the new statute. GOVERNMENT PROTECTION TO EMIGRANTS FOE CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES.—As soon as an emigrant ship reaches the emigrant station in the St. Lawrence, at Grosse Isle, a few miles below Quebec, she is boarded by the Government Medical Officer. It there are any sick on board they are landed and remain at the hospital, at the expense of the Government, until they are cured. lenmediately on the ship's arrival at Quebec, Mr. Buchanan, the Government Emigration Agent, goes on board. He inquires into all complaints, and sees that all the conditions of the Act of Parliament for protect. ing emigrants have been strictly complied with. This he is able to do in a most effective manner, as, when ever an emigrant ship leaves the British port for Quebec, the Government Emigration Officer port at the forwards to him, by mail steamer, a list of every passenger, with their names, ages, sex, trade, &c. This list is always received by Mr. Buchanan a fortnight before the ship's arrival. He thus possesses every particular that may be useful to him in protecting the emigrants, and direct ing them to where they can at once get suitable employ ment. If there be any just cause of complaint against the captain of a ship, justice is afforded by a summary law passed for the purpose, and Mr. Euchanan himself superintends the prosecution. The Government of Canada Las issued a pamphlet upon the resources of the country and the prospects in store for the industrious of all classes who desire to make it the land of their adoption. This pamphlet, as well as full particulars of the throbgh-booking system, by which emigrants are protected from the time of their landing until they reach their destination, together with maps of the Canadian Railways, showing their connection with those of the United States, continue to be issued gratuitously to all who apply for them, personally or by letter, at the offices of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, 21, Old road-atroet, London, E,C, Vi':,trb 7tlibition SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock.

INDIAN MUTINY RELIEF FUND. —The following letter has been addressed by the Due d'Aumale to General Peel :—" Twickenham, Oct. 14.—My dear General Peel —I have been infora,el that a meeting will be held to morrow at Twickenham under your presidency, for the purpose of raising a subscription for the relief of the sufferers by the Indian mutiny. Full of gratitude for the hospitality which I have received in England, and rdeimsod you st ru m ly y , sympat,ising heartily with th ose o f your compatr i o t s contribution r i a b r u e t i soon togallantly th e b above fund, fighting in and Ina, remain en y ours H. D'ORLEANS." CAUTION TO SERVANTS.—An attempt Was made on Sunday, the 4th inst., t o ro b th e h ouse of Mr. Muzioof Highbury-grove, and would probably h ave succeeded had it not been for the presence of mind of th e servant girl, vik o was left alone in the house, the family having gone to church. A cab drove up to the door, and one of two men of respectable appearance stepped out and knocked at the door, leaving his companion in the cab, and asked in a very business-like and earnest way whether Mr. Muzio was at horn*. The girl replied in the negative, upon which the visitor said that was very unfortunate, as he wished to speak to her master upon most urgent business. At that moment the girl observed that the gentleman bad pushed his foot within the door, and im mediately suspected that his object was plunder. "Oh," said she, " if you wish to see him so much I'll call him to you." The instant she uttered the words the visitor bounced into the cab, and away it went with amazing rapidity. Fine IN LEATHER-LANE, HOLBORN.—Yesterday morn ing, shortly before four o'clock, a fire happened in the premises belonging to Mr. Win. Bird, proprietor of the Coach and Horses, wine and spirit warehouse, No. 40, Leather-lane, corner of Hatton-garden. At that time the landlord, his wife, a female servant, the barman, and potnian were in their beds asleep, and it was with con siderable difficulty that they could be made sensible of their impending danger, and when that was at length accomplished they were unable to descend by the stairs, owing to the same being on Sre, and the smoke issuing in immense heated bodies. In the course of a few minutes the Royal Society's fire escape attended, when Joseph Arkwell placed his machine in front of the tavern, and brought down Mr. Bird, his wife, and the female servant from the second floor front. He ascended again and brought down the barman and potman from the first floor. The engines were soon got into play, when the firemen managed to get the flames subdued, but not until considerable damage was done. THE LAW OF HIRING HORSES.—On Saturday, in the Lord Mayor's Court, the case, " Gaits v. Reed," was tried, in which a question was raised of some publio in terest. The plaintiff, who lets out horses, sued the de _ fendant for 331. for the hire of a horse. Defendant paid 17/. 11s, into court. Defendant hired the horse, and kept it for 111 days, and the bill sent him by plaintiff was at the rate of Gs. per day. Defendant resisted this, and paid into court a sum at the rate of one guinea per week, less the shoeing. The point was, what was a fair and reasonable charge I For the plaintiff it was shown that horse contractors would charge from 801. to 1001. per year for the hire of a horse which might not have cost more than from 251. to 401. One witness said he would charge 10%. a day, which was equal to 1501. per year. For defendant, it was shown that 6s. a day wt 0 the charge for a horse for a single day, and, if longer, the charge would be one guinea per week. They also valued the plaintiff's horse at 15/. or 201., and his son admitted that his brother only gave 43 guineas for that and another, but they considered them worth 701. The judge said the jury had nothing to do with the value of the horse if it had done its work. It would be for them Oldham t a t. day for to say what was a reasonable charg e . The jury returned a verdiebfor plaintiff for 10/. 45., in addition t o t h e 17/, lls. paid into court. the T d ri e s y ß fi x x r e a d n b a y EN h T is aT w l o O r N s h O i r p t O h L e D m a Aalyto o Yfes ther being nomination of a fit and proper person to represent Old ham in Parliament, a temporary hustings was erected, and thereto his wcrsbip proceeded, accompanied by the friends of Mr. W. J. Fox. Mr. Fox himself was not present, but was represeLted by Mr. Wm. Knott. absence of allopposition rendered the proceedings remark. ably tame, and business could scarcely be said to be sus pkuded. The Mayor having opened the proceedings, Mr. Fox was proposed by Dr. Leach, and seconded by Mr. Robert Yates. No other candidate being proposed, his worship pronounced Mr. W. J. Fox to be duly elected. Mr. \V m. Knott, in returning thanks on behalf of Mr. Fox, remarked that the next session would be highlytic important—first, on account of the Reform Bill nw give h had been promised, and to which Mr. w ould Fox to be his attention ; bu'6 the most important mat ter brought before Parliament during the next session would mig remark be British India. Relative to this be quered ht but re. that India was not only t ber was not what e een constructed. An ascend anc y of bayon ets dancy of those prin. was needed for India , but o th e e d a its glory, It wou ld h o A ne cessary to have ciples to which Englandtt owed directed to th e c i v il , soc i a l, e ofand to India, these M r.
