MONEY MARKET A ND 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 transactions in Foreign and Colonial produce this week have been curbed by the general disincli nation to enter into extensive engagements while the money-market is so unsettled. As was anti cipated, the advance of the minimum to 8 per cant. ut once induced a cautious feeling ; pur chases were confined 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. pgr 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/. per share will be returned to the shareholders. A call of 51. 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 16,0001. 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 vas stated, a few days eince, 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 steamer for India will probably take out an important sum, and 300,000 f. has already been prepared for ramittance by that opportunity. An adjourned meeting of the British Steam 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 there is still a comparatively quiet demand for money, and although it is expected that the Bank of England return to be pubished this even- ng will exhibit some remarkable changes, showing Is 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 has 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, &a., they may be enabled to obtain highly remunerative profits from their speculations. A decline of per cent. took place in the English Stock Market to-day, but business is dull, and the movement was produced by a few stiles and the dis continuance of money purchases. The market is bet ter supplied with stock, and the tendency was tempo rarily unfavourable. Consols for money have receded 88 f, and for account 88/ The market is now stronger, aid the quotations are 88, and 88; 89 respectively. The New Three per Cents. have been dealt in at 88 to 88k, and the Reduced 871 to 88. Bank Stock has been 212 to 213, and is marked as low as 207. Exchequer Bills are 265. to 10e. discount, and the Bonds are 971 I. There is again a very quiet market for Foreign Securities. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been firm .87i to 88, end they are now called 871 88. The 4 per Cent. Guaranteed are 97i ; Dutch 4 per Cents. 974 ; and Peruvian 4t per Cents. 77. Mexican Stock is dull at 191.

THAMES. CONTUSION 071 MURDER.— Emma 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 oniher own confes eion with the wilful murder of a newly bora child at Brighten. 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 aft erwar d s sho appeared to be greatly agitated, and made a statement to Mr. Russell, an officer of the asylum, that she was in the servic3 of a gentleman as house maid, in Brighten, abut 7 months ago, and her fellow servant, the cook, gave birth to a child at one o'clock in the morning; and she assisted the mother in strangling it, and then ran down to the beach and threw the body into the sea. The cook destroyed all trace of what bad happened and then absconded. The prisoner was about to follow her, but her ma ter s compelled her to stop one m on th l onger. T he pr i sonc k added that she had not been h a ppy s i nce, an d t h e 44435 of the murdered child were always upon her. Inspector Griffin, of the I division, said he had re ceived a letter from the chief of police at Brighton, in 'newer to a oornmunication, and it was in effect that inquiries had been made, and that HO child had ever been found on th e beach Or in the sea at Brighton. Mr. Selfe said the police at Brighton ought to snake further inquiries whether any servant—a cook— had left a gentleman's family suddenly, about seven months ago. The prisoner had made a statement which could be either disproved or confirmed. The mere circumstance of nobody having been found on the sea shore did not prove that the prisoner's statement was false. It was probable the increased publicity that would be given to the case might be the means of obtaining more information and be 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 tp the continuance of damp 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 whioh was extensive— scarcely any business was transacted, and most kinds were lower to purchase. Floating cargoes of grain ruled heavy. Fine malting barley supperted previous rates, but grind ing Malt moved off slowly , at barely stationa r y p rices. and distilling sorts were heav The cat trade was in a sluggish state, and da m p p arcels y, and rather drooping. of foreign were rather cheaper.

A few mournful words passed ; the trembling lip of the heart-broken loving father, and the black. choked-up gri e f o f th e di s t rac t e d 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 latter place. A fete words on the general aspect of affairs may not be unacceptable. This is exactly our position at th e present nionient--The whole of the Bengal army—h orse, foot, and artillery—about 100,000 men, are in arms against the S ate, ex cepting about 5 regiments of Sepoys, who have been disarmed by European troops at the muzzle of tbe cannon. Delhi is still in posteasion of the re bels ; so is the kingdom of Oude ; so are all the north-west provinces of India, with the exception of a few spots, such as the forts of Allahabad, Agra, and a few entrenched towns along the course of t i e Ganges. Gen. Havelock, who commands the All . habad column, is the oily man up to this moment who has won a battle. He fought and won at Fut tehpore, ditto at Pandco Nuddy, ditto at Cawn pore, ditto in several places in Oude, wh ere a t length he was repulsed and obliged to rect oss 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 he advanced into Oude. This could not continue, and he was consequently obliged to retreat gloriously, after gaining nine battles and capturing 70 pieces of cannon. It is hoped that by the time this is posted, the Bth, Gen. Havelock will be reinforced by one or two more regiments, and that he will push on again for Lucknow, in 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 than undergo a re 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 likel; to prevail at home, on account of the way in which things are reported here by the press. For id nee, 163 names are given of those massacred at Cawu - s pore, which would lead one to believe that that was the whole number. It is not so. These 163 are the persons taken back from the beats and coolly butchered in dt tail afterwards. Tire total number killed is about 800, but no one can tell i xactly, as many have been in from the cenntry of whom there was no knowledge. Another batch was massacred at Cawnpore before the final massacre. A party of refugees, who welts c .miug down the river from Futtetighur, 150 in all, were taken and shot on the parade ground. Another mistake is committed, and the Times 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 tbe man who has a wbits , 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 diev, nor sleep without a sentry at my door.

" 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 miles 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 swing in the wind for 24 hours, the remainder of the follows being transported for 14 years. This is as it should be, and were there a little more energy and determination shown by the government officials who are trusted with unlimited power of life and death, we should have had less 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 there an European community strong enough in Calcutta I feel certain that the government would bo de posed, and a committee of public safety appointed to look after 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 iu 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 fearrul atrocities ; and, however unboly 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 ho is on his way to the relief of Lucknow we are looking anxiously fur further advances. He is the man to command and to despatch, and had we a few more like him and Chamberlain in coentnand before Delhi we should have f.red better. Forte.

There were 23 engineers and inspectors of the railway colleo ed at Cawnpore, and all massacred. The following letter, received by the last mail, is addressed by a medical officer in the N.W. vitices to his relatives in Brighton : Agra Fort, August 10. to D th e e a r r r — friend: iEn v E er o y g b i n a d n y d, ar a o s un w d e chance o f l e t ters rea chi ng B om b a y. I write to you, me ear are therrei writings a as I have not' heart to depict to --- the horrors every soul in this presidency must have gone through. On the 13 hor 14 hof May there came a. report that the in-urgents having murdered every European at Delhi were marching on Muttra, whereupon we immediately despatched the ladies to Agra. I drove my wife all the way in the car riage, and arrive tl at Agra about 11 o'clock at night. I returned the.next day, and found Muttra occu oßfl t o u n r l t y p o a r se e occu pied by tro o p s , no t t h e insurgents, but those of the c ita on j d o 'h las. I who s i m m afterwardsimmediate l y y p , r a o v t e m d y d d e e m si o r n e demons seas put in medic a l c h arge o f th i s ra b ble-2,500 strong—as at that time I was in hopes we were tl march upon Delhi. G— tells me that she sent you my letter, in which I gave a description of my wanderings and escape after the Bhurtpore troops had mutinied ; and as we are desired to keep our letters to 45 grains I do not think it worth while recapitulating, trusting that the letter has safely reached you ; but from that day until the 7th July, when I arrived here, I had not known what a night of rest was. 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 had 50 Choukerdars around the bun galow, we felt we could not trust one, and, of course, at the least noise, I always seized my pistols, - for we have ever since been obliged to carry arms, for one or two old pensioners, who appear to be faithful, declare that we cannot trust a single native: The demons are such complete masters of deceit and hypocrisy, that wh n the sountry is again quiet the killed will be a sorry list to. read. On Saturday, the 4th of July, we received a Jotter saying things wore such a bad aspect that we had better try to come to Agra, and on Sunda% night, the sth, we left Muttra in a boat, as the only native we could rely on assured us the river was by far safer. We got through the night very well, and till 12 o'clock the next day, when, passing a village, our boat received a volley of bullets, and our head lai atman fell wounded ; we returned the coirpli men', but could only sea one man fall. After a little more firing we managed to pasi the village, but to our great dismay saw them all collecting rind running across the country to catch us as we rounded the land, when they again opened fire upon us, and were so covered by ravines teat we could riot return it.' When the boat men assured 'Ds that on the side of tee river, at about ha f a mile further, we should encounter a still mere hostile village, and as we should hen be between two fires, and the river not above 120 yards broad, three or four of the boat !ben ran off, and we were obliged to play at "hide and seek " in the grass, afraid lest a single na• t.ve 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 Secundra, iu flames, and, beyond, Agra appeared one mass of smoke. We hid in the grass and ravines till seven o'clock in the. evening, wh e t we came out of our holes and made for Agra. The boatman had previously made his escape, and must have given information, for soon after three men wish matchlocks came prowling round our holes; we were afraid to stir an inch in case of giving an alarm, so we allowed them to escape. About seven o'clock, when the moon was rising, we loft all our guns in the bole, and I merely had my sword, for we were all so tired we could not carry theguus, not having had anything to eat the whole day, and the only water we could drink was what we found now and then in the cart-rucks. We came along withou , . any opposition till within a few miles of Agra, when we nearly ran up against a mounted picket of the insurgents, but the sentry must have been very careless, for, having fallen on the ground, we crouched back and went round, but were dis tree.sed to find that they had pickets all round Agra. However, we managed to pass by them, keeping in the ditches and not exposing ourselves, and about 12 o'clock arrived at the civil lines. Every bungalow had been burnt, and seeing a number of fires, we thought they might be friendly Choukerdars,but did not trust ourselves too near them ; however, one of them chal'engecl us and when toll they were six sahibs in dimtress, about for ;y men and a few mounted that we were up at on ce an d a f ter us ; w h et h er it was we were running for our lives, we were over the walls like deer, and soon out of rtl • pursuit. I, however, lost my s h oes, and sprained iei my n 1e ,o badly thst it se.: s s i t h difficulty liuld move, anc l e but I managed to hobble along a few yards farthe r till we came to a puddle of water, where we thought of sleeping, but on on e o t our patty running up a bank Lie taw ten men on the look out, so we went on another 200 yards arid lay down to [deep, hoping to get up before it was daylight and again make off for the ravines, sending one of our party, who was as black as the natives, into the fort to make known our distress and bring us some food. As soon as it was time to be off, I found I could not walk a couple of yards, fur toy ancle had much swollen and was very painful ; so I prayed for the others to leave me and save themselves—a project which they would not listen to, as they said we must all share the same fate ; and after a good deal of persuasion on my part for them not to delay their departure, the day broke and it was too late to go; and as a villager passed close by us from a village about 300 yards off, we asked him if he could giye us any help, when be said the Jemiudar was a very good man, and well inclined to Englishmen, but he must go back and ask him. At that moment, when we saw him reach the village, we all thought our last moment in this world had arrived, but there was a kind Providence overlooking us, and what wasour surprise and comfort to find the Jemindar sent for us to come in l Tao men carried me, and they gave us milk and turds and whey, and after promising them rewards if they g it us safe into the fort, they placed us all in a palki-gbarry with punkahs all round. Having previously dresst dus in theirclothes, a n.l thickened our skins with charcoal, they put ropes to the carriage and brought us safe to the fort "as their wives."—How thankful I was to the Al mighty for such a deliverance, and after having washed and dressed in .11—'s clothes, you may imapiue how glad I was to meet my dear wife and ettildren again. The writer then goes on to give an account of the massacres at Cawnpore, Allababad, &c., which are already well known in England—and then writes : " Did tell you of the battle of Agra? When we started from Muttra we little thought a battle had been fought at Agra a few hours before, but it vas not my lot to be there. General Havelock and. lie men have been doing such wonders, principally with the Enfield rifle, that the insurgents find they will not extirpate all the English in the land. The natives look upon the force from China as quite a new caste, who appear to strike terror into them ; they say, they cannot distinguish between Hindoo and Mussulman, and hang everybody indiscrimi nately, 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 ; but still there is no doubt there will be a great slaughter. The Almighty is certainly avenging himself upon t hem, and I trust that, though every station has been destroyed,there will be many lives saved to return to their triangle in England. Give my love to --, arid tell them th a 7 though we have lost everything, we have as yet been spared. Our abodes here are something about 14 ;get by 8 feet for each fend y. There are 1,069 European men in the fort able to carry arms, and altogether, with natives, 5,980 sleep within its walls ; 4,000 of these are servants, not one of whom can be trusted, but they have not arms, and so I trust everything may turn out well.
