MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed flatly with a downward tendency in prices. The sales amounted to 2,000 bales. The Railway Share Market exhibited rather more firmness, and prices have slightly improved. The transaAions in Foreign and Colonial produce this week have been curbed by the general disincli nation to enter into extensive engagements while the money-market h so unsettled. As was anti cipated, the advance of the minimum to 8 per cent. at once induced a cautious feeling ; pur chases were confiued to immediate wants, the public sales were less numerous, and prices tended downwards. In sugar the operations have been limited, and most descriptions are cheaper, the trade having bought sparingly. Coffee has de clined Is. to 2s. per cwt., and the market for this article is also dull. Rice has further receded. The public sales of tea have passed off without anima tion, and at rather easier prices, and in rum there is no material alteration. Cochineal has declined 7d. per lb. ; indigo, since the quarterly sales, has become flat, and cotton is lower. Tallow is rather firmer. It was resolved at a meeting held yesterday to wind-up the London, Manchester, and Foreign Warehouse Co., and it is believed that 2/. par share will be returned to the shareholders. A call of W. per share has been made by the Scinde Railway Company. Owing to the prepay ment, however, there only remains about 5,0001. • to be collected in accordance with this subscription. About 16,000/. in sovereigns was taken from the Bank yesterday for America, and it is stated that shipments on a large scale are likely to be made to the continent for silver, as the recent advance in terms for bills drawn upon the three Presi dencies will stimulate the efflux thither. It Was stated, a few days since, that the adminis tration of the Bank of France was losing gold, but the accounts received to-day allege that a considerable amount had returned to them, and there was no immediate prospect of supplies being sought in this country. The next steaner for India will probably take out an important sum, and 300,0001. has already been prepared for remittance by that opportunity. An adjourned meeting of the British Steam l i Fisheries Company has just been held, Mr. Dykes in the chair, for the confirmation of the resolution passed on the 21st of September last for dissolving the company, which was agreed to accordingly. In Lombard-street and at the Bank of Eng land th ere is still a comparatively quiet demand for money, and although it is expeoted that the Bank of England return to be pubialied this even ng will exilibit some remarkable changes, showing a considerable strain upon the resources of the establishment, there is a more hopeful feeling with regard to the future. The fact that so small an amount luti; been taken to America is con sidered as a proof that the restrictions already adopted will prevent the efflux which was at first anticipated, it is nevertheless imagined that a considerable amount will be conveyed to private hands. Many passengers now going to America will take out large sums of money, since, by saving the insurance, Azc., they may be enabled to obtain highly remunerative profits from their &pe :ulations. A decline oft per cent. took place in the English Stock Market to-day, but business is dull, and the =vet:cent was produced by a few sides and the dis continuance of money purchases. The market is bet ter supplied with stock, and the tendency was tempo rarily un favourable. Consols for money have receded 88 /, and for account 88i The market is now stronger, and the quotations are 881 ; and 88; 89 respectivoly. The New Three per Cents. have been dealt: in at 88 to 88k, and the Reduced 87/ to 88. Bank Stock has been 212 to 213, and is marked as ldw as 207. Exchequer Bills are 1.55. to 10s. discount, and the Bonds are 97i I. There is again a very quiet market for Foreign Securities. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been firm 87i to 88, and they are now called 87i 88. The 4 per Cent. Guaranteed are 97-1. ; Dutch 4 per Cents. 971 ; and Peruvian 4i per Cents. 77. Mexican Stock is dull at 194. The following, are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :--Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5 6 ; Mexi can, 19 1.9,1 ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 75 77 ; ditto 3 per- flon.ka., SO 64.

CONFESSION OF MIIEDEL—Enuma Middleton, a young woman, about 29 years of age, and lately an inmate of an asylum for fallen females in Mount-terrace, White chapel, who has been in custody a week, was brought up on remand before Mr. Selef, charged °Ober own confes sion with the wilful murder of a newly bore child at Brighton. The prisoner had been an inmate of a probationary asylum at Dover and was brought to the asylum in Mount-terrace a fortnight before her apprehension. A few days afterwards she appeared to be greatly agitated , and made a st a t ement to Mr. Russell, an officer of the asylum, that she was in the service. of a gentleman as house maid, in Brighten, about 7 months ago, and her fellow servant, the cook, gave birth to a child at one o'clock in the morning, and she assiste d the mother in strangling it, a n d then ran down to the beach and threw the body into the sea. The cook destroyed all trace of what had happened and then absconded. The prisoner was about to follow her, but her master compelled hrr to stop one month longer. The prisoner added that she had not been happy since, and the eyes of the murdered child were always upon her,. Inspector Griffin, of the K division, said he had re ceived a letter from the chief of peliee at Brighton, in answer to a communication, and it was in effect that inquiries had been made, an d that no chill had ever been foued on the b eac h Or in the sea at B ri g hton. Mr. Selfe said th e p o li ce a t Brighton ought to make further inqui r i es w h et h er au y servant—a cook — had left a gent l eman ' s fam il y su dd e nly, about seven months ago. Th e prisoner ha d male a statement whi c h could be e ith er di sproved or con firmed. The mere circumstance of nobody having been found on the sea shor e did not prove that the prisoner's statement was false. It was probable the increased publicity that would be giv en t o t h e case m i g ht be the means of obtaining m o r e i n f ormat i on an d he remanded the prisoner for another week. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. A very moderate supply of English wheat was on sale here, to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, and most of the samples—owing to the continuance of (lamp weather-- were scarcely fit for millers' purposes. The trade was in a depressed state, and prices were nominally the turn lower than on Monday. In foreign wheat--the show of which was extensive — scarcely any business was transacted, and most kinds were lower to purchase. Floating cargoes of grain ruled heavy. Fine malting barley supported previous rates, but grind ing and distilling sorts were heavy, and rather Cirooping. Malt moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices. The oat trade was in a sluggish state, and damp parcels of foreign were rather cheaper. Beans, peas, and flour moved off slowly, at Monday's prices. ARRIVALS TUTS WEBB Wheat. Barley.

OCTOBER 23, 185'7. THE INDIAN MUTINIES. A few mournful words passed ; the trembling lip of 'the heart-broken loving father, and the black, Choked-up grief of the distracted mother, soon ended our conversation. They have fortunately been living at Calcutta for some time, or they would have also fallen in the bloody massacre. They will quit the country immediately, and pro ceed either home or to Australia—probably to the oaffurairpsosm iti a o y n n a o t t th b e e u pr n e a s c e c n e t pt m ab o l m e. et . l latter pla ce .

Gen. Havelock, who commands the All t habad column, is the only man up to this moment who has won a battle. He fought and won at Fut tebpore, ditto at Paudco Nuddy, ditto at Cawn pore, ditto in several places iu Oude, where at length he was repulsed and obliged to recross the Ganges, and is now at Cawnpore, - encamped with Gen. Neill, on the plain of the massacre, having not more than about 1,000 or 1,500 soldiers in all fit for work, and 500 in hospital. Gen. Havelock lost, from all causes, at the rate of 100 men for every 12 miles be advanced into Oude. This could . . not continue, and he was consequently obliged to retreat gloriou-ly, after gaining nine .battles and capturing 70 pieces of cannon. It is hoped that by the time this is posted, the Bih, Gen. Havelock will be reinfl reed by one or two more regiment-, and that he will push on again for Lucknow, which garrison there is a European regiment and some hundreds of men, women, and children, closely besieged for more than three months. Reports have now arrived that Lucknow is lost ; that in the last extremity their garrison, rather titan undergo a i e hearsal of Cawnpore, blew themselves up. This is not believed, and is, I hope, untrue, but still there is great anxiety for the people in the 'temporary fort in Lucknow. Much misapprehension is likele to prevail at home, ou account of the way in wirch things ate reported here by the press. For nab no, 163 names are given of those massacred at Uawn - pore, which weuld lead one to believe th at that was the whole number. It is net so. These 163 at e the persons taken hack from the b ate and coolly hotchered-in el tail afterwards. Ti,e total !lumber killed is about 800, bet no one can tell many have bet-nip frem the critntry of %%horn rl,ere was no knowledge. Aie.ther batch was massacred at Cawnpore before the final massacre.. A party et refuges, who were c ming down the river from Futtelighur, 150 in all, were taken and shot on the parade ground. Another mistake is 'Corn mi dot', Etna the 'l imes is deluded by it. It is supposed that the people of the country do not sympathise with the Sepoys, nor join in their bloody deeds. This ought to be corrected, for every hand is uplifted against the man who has a white face. Those villagers who used to throw themselves at my feet in May, came out in June with swords and guns, and all sorts of weapons, to take away my life. I dare not go into the quietest district without a guard of sol diers, nor sleep without a sentry at my door. The European inhabitants of India are disgusted and sick of the old system of government in this country. There is an infatuation over govet ntn ent Allahabad, Aug. 13. which blinds it to all reas in.

"August, 1857. "Long ere now you will have had the heart rending intelligence of the massacres of Delhi and Cawnpore, as well as the scenes of slaughter, and bloodshed throughout this side of India. You will, I fear, have had very distressing news from Cawn pore, not only of the loss of friends but also of money ; for I think your partner and his family lived there—and although I have not heard the name mentioned, I have heard of few or none who escaped. You know how happy I should be to see you again, and most sincerely do I hope any of our disasters here -may not bring you evil. I cannot help thinking, however, that you will come, for you do not wrap yourself up when energetic measures are necessary. . . . I have reasons to thank God that we are in perfect peace in this part of the world —but at the station of —, about 25 mites from us, a plot was discovered (fortunately in time) by which the lives of every European in the station would have been sacrificed. The conspirators.were promptly seized, tried by our present summary process, and the ringleader hanged in the Bazaar the following morning, his carcase being allowed to awing in the wind for 24 hours, the remainder of he fellows being transported for 14 years. This is as it should be, and were there a little more energy and determination shown by the government official.; who are trusted with unlimited power of life and deith, we should have had leis to mourn for now. As it is, cowardly pusillanimity is shown by almost every member of the government from Halliday downwards, and the feeling of indignation against the service generally runs so high that was then e an European community strong enough in C.4lcu,ta I feel certain that the government would be de posed, and a committee of public safety appointed to look aft er the safety of the European inhabitants. Surely, the fearful scenes of massacre and shedding of innocent blood which have been enacted by these black barbarians (and all from the impotency of our rulers) will arouse the feelings of England in our behalf, and induce them to rescue us from the chance of a repetition of such scenes. " My blood runs cold as I think of the fearful atrocities ; and, however unholy vengeance is, it is the natural cry of every unsophisticated heart. " To-day letters give us good news from General Havelock's force, who have routed Nana Sahib's forces with great slaughter, taking some 30 guns, and as he is on his way to the relief of Lucknow we ' are looking anxiously for further advances. He is the man to command and to despatch, and had we a few more like him and Chamberlain in command before Delhi we should have f ?red better. Forte nately the Commander-in-Chief, Anson, General Barnard, and General Wheeler have been taken away to make room for younger and more reso lute men. Poor Sir Henry Lawrence is deeply regretted by all. Had we Dalhousie at the head of affairs, we should have no difficulties from such red-tapists as B—, P—, dn., for at a crisis like the present we want a statesman like the marquis, who could and did act with vigour, regardless of forms, where they not only seemed to defeat the ends of justice, but rendered justice im possible from delay. The following interesting letter has appeared in ;he teeman's Journal : much to harass us by the rapidity of their move ments. It the kitmagar had not announced tlffin (lunch), I believe I would never step. I will end by one line more after, I dispatch a biscuit. The biscuit is done for, and I new finish. The Ranee of Jhanai has embodied 12,000 fighting men against us. The Rajah, or one of the Rajahs of Bundlecund, has embodied 14,000 men, but not yet declared against us. Now, depend upon it, others will do likewise unless a heavy blow is soon struck. There were 23 engineers and inspectors of the railway collet ed at Cawnpore, and all massacred. v i si :e d e d s i t e o " his ed b r y e_la E ti v v e e r s y i b n o d B AI r Brighton nl°-,nodr:t- "a The following:tlmeteteari,carieeoeffiiveeedr i b n y th th e e N l . a w st . m p a t i o l,..

On the 13th or 14. h of May there came a report that the insurgents having murdered every Eur, , pean at Delhi were marching on Muttra, whereupon we immediately despatched the le dies to Agra.

We were always obliged to keep sentry by night, and in constant fear of being mur dered ; and when I again arrived at Muttra, though we h-d 50,Choukerdars around the bun galow, we felt we could not trust one, and, of . • course, at tt,e least noise, I always seized my pistol, for we have ever since been obliged to carry arms, for one or two old per sinners, .who appear to be fait oul, declare that we cannot trest a single native.

On Satur lay, the 4th of July, we received a letter s.ying thin g s wore such s bad aspect that we had het'er try to come to Agra, and on Sunday night, the sth, we left Mu .! a in a boat, as t; e 0 , ,1y native we could iely on assured us the river was by far sorer. We got through the night very- well, and till 12 o'clock the next stay, when, passing a village, our bopt received a volley of bullets, and our head b, atman fell wounded ; we returned the compli mew, but could only see one man fall. After a little more firing we managed to pass the village, , but to our great dismay saw them all collecting and running pax( ss the country to catch us as we rounded the land, when they again opened fire upon us, and were so covered by ravines that we could Lot return it. When the boat men a.sured ns that on the side of the river, at about ha f a mile further, we should encounter a still in ,, ra hostile village, and as we should .hen be between two fires, and the river riot above 120 yards broad, three or four of the boat men ran otf, and we were obliged to play at "hide and seek " in the grass, afraid lest a single na tve should see us, in which case he might run and give intelligence. One boatman remained with us, and our party was six. It was about twelve miles from Agra when we left the boat, and we could plainly see all the bungalows, at Seoundra, iu flames, and, beyond, Agra appeared one mass of smoke. We hid iu the grass and ravines till seven o'clock in he evening, when we came out of our h , lea and made for Agra. The boatman had previously made his escape, and must have given informatitn, for soon after three men wish matchlocks came prowling round our holes; we were afraid to stir an inch in case of giving an al-tim t so we allowed them to escape. About seven o'clock, when the moon was rising, we left all our guns in the hole, and I merely had my sword, for we were all so tired we could not carry theguos, not having hadisnything to eat the whole day, and the °lily water we could drink was what we fund now and then in the cart-rucks. We came along without any oppositirn till within a few miles of Agra, wheu we nearly ran up against a mounted picket of the insurgents, but the sentry must have bsen very careless, for, having fallen on the ground, we crouched back and went round, but were dis tressed to find that they had pickets all round Agra. However, we managed to pass by them, keeping in the di cites awl not exposing ourselves, and about 12 o'clock arrived at the civil lines. Every bungalow hair been burnt, and seeing a number of tires, we thought ',hey might b.: , fr,endly Chouktrasr,but did not trust ourselves t ‘o ne.ir them ; howeve., one of them eliaenged. us anil when toti they were six sahibs i u distress, about forty mrn and a few mounted ones were up at once and after us ; whether it was th ,t we were running for our lives, we were over tit,, walls like deer, and soon ow, t.f their pursuit.

At that moment, when we saw him reach the village, we all thought our last Imoment in this world had arrived, but there was a kind Providence overlooking us, and what was our surprise and comfort to find the Jemindar sent for us to come in I Two men carried use, and they gave us milk and , urds and whey, and alter promising them rewards if they g a us safe into the fort, they placed us all in a palki-gbarry with punkahs all round.

When we started from Muttra we little thought a battle had been fought at Agra a few hours before; but it was not my lot to bo there. Generalliavelock and his men have been doing such wonders, principally with the Enfield rifle, that the insurgents find they will not. extirpate all th English in the land. Tho natives 1 ,, 0k upon toe force flow China as quite a new caste, who appear t strike terror into them ; they say, they cannot distinguish between Hindoo and Mussulman, and hang everybody indiscrimi nAtcly, and shoot them before they can see them ! (the Enfield rifle.) This is the army of retribution, and I expect when they march on Agra the city will be quite deserted ; hut still there is no doubt there will be a great slaughter. The Almighty is certainly avenging himself upon them, and I trust that, '.hough every et %ton Las been destroyed, there will be many lives saved to' ieturn to their friends in RIO-aid.
