troops ar near rnor,4 ceileAe(l, and uuder ly-;.lter control. They get their rations cooked en the spot, and they are being reinforced by recovered men from the hospital. The 52d were reinforced by 25 men to day. The enemy's force in Kishengunge made a recon noisance of the right flank of our men yesterday, to ascertain apparently the strength left to defend the camp. Finding the picqu-t posts all occupied, they re l'eated, and the camp has remained unmo lested. It is said they are now evacuating Kishen: gunge. It is impossible to get information from the city. The enemy's cavalry cut off communica tion outside to the right, and no messenger can penetrate from the side in our possession. It is believed the troops are deserting the city, but the Palace is still strongly occupied. We all look on the complete occupation of the city and palace as a certainty. The following det a ils are from another letter of j the same date : We are now inside the walls pounding away at Suleymghur and interior defences. There is a good deal of musketry fire going on from houses and the tops of the houses, and now and then a round shot and shrapnel play among our devoted infantry, who, aided by the Artillery, are working their way , solidly on to the occupation of the vast city. We hold now all on our side the canal, except the -Lahore Gate, which will probably fall in the course f the day. The magazine was taken this morning with a dash and cheer, the latter of which carried such terror to the heats of the Pandies that they dropped their lighted potfires, leaving their loaded guns an easy prey to us ; 125 guns, besides a vast amount of ammunition, fell into our hands. In the assault " the Engineers suffered much. Out of the party of three that applied the powder bags to the Cashmere one officer only escaped, bully wounded. The enemy had loop-holed the door, and the sergeant had only time to fire the bag a n d say " I have lighted it," when he was shot dead. Mr. Greathed gives the following list of officers 'wounded on the 14th, though he fears it may not be quite complete : WOUNDED. Staff—Brigadier Nicholson, and Captain Anson, aide-de-camp. Engineers—Limits. Greathed. Salkeld, Mann tell, Home, Pemberton, and Medley. Artillery—Lieuts. Lindsay, and Elliott. Cavalry—Lieut. enplane.

Extract from a private letter from Delhi, no glue T bilk ,r ff " Si g nal giventhe rush at the walls was the " w ing open of the Cashmere gate, which most serous duty devolved on Lieut. Salkeld, of the li g ineem The Whole was done by escalade, as the broach o t complete enough t o en t er s About ladders. eld approached with three sergeants under a tremendous fire of musketry. He was first shot through the arm; notwithstanding that. he went on to the gate with the bags of powder ; as they ap proached one serg eant was killed ; the second ser geant took up th bags, assisting Lieutenant Sal keld, knocked them. on to the spikes of the gate, not being able to put them underneath, as the wicket gate was opened, and about 20 muskets pointed up as well as through many holes iu the gateway firing from both flanks from the wall. As Lieutenant Salkeld put. on the bags he was shot through the leg, and fell ; the second sergeant lit the match, but after lighting it he said to Lieut. Salkeld en the ground. I fear the match has not taken light, Sir ; at the word Sir,' he fell dead riddled with balls ; the match did ignite, blew open the gate • the third sergeant escaped un h ur t. At the sig na l the troops rushed on—every one who car ried the scaling ladders of the 2d Fusileers was knocked over ; however, they rushed on, put up the ladders (many of which were found to be too short), changing their positions, got on the walls, cheered, and rushed down upon the enemy and car ried the place. On they went along the walls taking the Mores Bastion, Ajmere ga`e, the other column taking the Church Battery, Water Battery, Treasury Compound, and Skinner's-house. THE RELIEF OF LUCKNOW. (From the Bombay Gazette of llth, of October,) Lucknow was relieved on the 25th ultimo, and only just in time, as it was found thet the enemy had run two mines far under the defences, which, if exploded, would have left the garrison at the mercy of its savage besiegers. Its defenders had, moreover, been closely pressed by the enemy, who doubtless saw his time running short, and had only repulsed a final and most desperate assault by the desperate expedient of throwing lighted shells with their hands into the masses of their as sailants. The advance to Lucknow and the raising of the siege appear to have cost us about 400 men killed and wounded, as well as several officers slain, foremost among whom we have to lament the brave Neill, of Madras, whose valour and energy had made him the centre of so many hopes. We have yet but vague and imperfect accounts from Lucknow, and are waiting further particulars with grea t anx i ety. There is a report, strongly requiring confirmation, which we trust it may not receive, that the place is again besieged, our force having been surrounded by Nana Sahib with 50,000 men. It has, on the other hand, ben stated that the arch-ruffian of Bi hoer has been bs trayed by one of his own followers and is now a captive, but this report also needs confirmation.

On the 19th I crossed first to the island on the Ganges, and then to its left bank by a bridge of boats which bad been laboriously constructed by Capt. Croramehn, Field Engineer .

This morning I attacked the enemy, turned his right, and drove him from his position, with the lop s of four guns, two of which and the regimental colours of the Ist Bengal Native Infantry, were captured by the Volunteer Cavalry in a charge headed by Sir James Outran]. The loss on our side was trifling. The enemy suffered severely ; about 120 were sabred by the cavalry. Another letter from Cawnpore, dated the 20th, contains the follo w .• in..

The balls went right over the heads of our men ; and, as we advanced, they withdrew the gun, and fled away down the road. The whole of our force were encamped for the night about a mile from the bank. Col. Wilson, of H.M.'s 64th, will command there (luring the absence of the column. We have just had news from Lucknow that the rum is out, and the beef will be finished on the 24th ; otherwise all wt-11. But, if all pros per, our force will be there by the 24th. Another letter of the same date has the fol lowing details :—Our bridge was finished last night. We were at long bowls yesterday ; but no damage to us. This morning all the troops were crossed. They opposed us at a distance, but retired, their three or four guns on our ad vance, and we are DOW encamped on the other side without loss. We expect to be at Lucknow in five days. All quiet below.

Camp on the Oude side of the Gauges, September 20. I now beg to send you a brief account of our pro ceedings, so that you may know what we are doing. I am happy to inform you that our (General Have lock's) forces are now greatly augmented, as on the 15th and 16th inst. General Outram, with one company of the Highlanders (No. 2) from Benares, eight company's of her Majesty's 90th Regiment, about fifty sowars or native troopers, with small detachments of different corps, also a few artillery men, came in. Fur several days past we have been preparing a bridge of boats to cross to the Oude side, - and for the protection of the workmen we sent a iew com panies over with our guns. On the night of the 18th the enemy came down in force, and drove our men back to the boats, destroying some of our ad vanced works, so yesterday morning (the 19th) General Havelock Cal us all ready to commence crossing the river at four o'clock. The enemy at daylight was found to be in position about one mile away from the bridge, and although they were so near it did not prevent us froraicrossing the river. The enemy fired a good deal at us, but luckily their fire did us no damage whatever. The infantry moved over first, and on reaching the oppo site side it threw out skirmishers, and soon cleared our front fur some distance, and as soon as our guns could be brought over we opened fire on them which they did not seem to like for they soon re tired a few mil es f ur th er i n, and left us plenty of room to encamp for the night, and await the at rival of our heavy guns conning over. I am happy to say that in addition to three batteries of smaller guns we have this morning brought over four 2l pounders and two 8-inch howitzers. The order to advance is not given yet, but I ex pect we shall commence to night or to-morrow morning. I am happy to say there is a great change here in the weather for the better, and with this change the health of our troops is greatly im proved, and each man is now eager to commence the march towards Lucknow for the relief of our brave countrymen, countrywomen, and children, whom we consider to be still safe ; a task which I have no doubt our brave General will very soon accomplish. The following is a copy of what was put in orders by Gen. Outram on the night of the 16th inst. : DIVISION ORDERS BY MAJOR-GENERAL SIR J.

The important duty of first relieving the garrison of Lucknow has been first entrubted to Major-General Havelock, C. 8., and Major-General Outram feels that it is due to this distinguished officer and the strenuous and noble exertions which he has already made to effect that object that to him should accrue the honour of the achievement. Major-General Outrarn is confident that the great end for winch General Havelock and his brave troops have so long and so gloriously fought will now, under the blessing of Providence, be accomplished. The Maj.)r-General therefore in gratitude for, and ad miration of the brilliant deeds in arms achieved by Gen. Havelock and his gallant troops, will cheerfully wave his rank on the occasion, and will accompany the force to Lucknow in his civil capacity as Chief Commissioner of Oude, and tendering his military services to General Havelock as a volunteer. On the relief of Lucknow the Major-General will re sume his position at the head of the forces. rue fullowing order was issued on the 831110 evening by General Havelock to the force about to proceed to the relief of the garrison of Lucknow FIELD FORCE AFTER ORDERS, BY GEN. HAVELOCK. Cawnpore, Sept. 16. Brigadier-General Havelock, in making known to the column the kind and generous determination of General Sir James Outram, K.C.8., to leave to him the task of relieving Lucknow and rescuing its gallant and enduring garrison, has only to express his hope that the troops will strive, by their exemplary and gallant conduct in the field, to justify the confidence thus reposed in them.

Our army will have reached Luck now either last night or this morning. LUCKNOW. The force under General Havelock, skirting the city, forced their way to the Residency against strong oppo sition, and relieve the brave garrison on the evening of the 25th. The relief was providentially just in time, as subsequent examination showed that two miles all ready for loading had ru❑ far under our chief works, which, if sprung, must have placed the garrison at the mercy of the rebels. On the 2Gth the batteries of the besiegers were assaulted and taken, and the ex-King's sons tied tewards Fyzabad, The loss bas been heavy.

CRIMEAN, IST ASSISTANT MAGISTRATE OF AHMEDNUGGEB, TO THE POLITICAL ERCRETARY TO GOVERN3IENT, BOMBAY. Nassick, Oct. Sir,—l have the honour to forward the accoi n t 3 P s t a t e m e nts regarding the affair which took place the hne before edterday with the Bheels at Nandoor, and in which Lieut. Henry, the Superintendent of Police, was unfortunately killed while charging at the head of his men. 2. From t!le accompanying statements I think it is clev that, whil, every credit is due to the memory of the late Lieut. Henry fur the gallant and determined way in which he led the attack, yet the attack itself was, owing to the enormous superiority of the Bheels in point of numbers and their strong position, a very ill- SUN, LONDON. SATURDAY EVENING' advised one. They were, to the number of 430 fo 500. armed with matchlecks and bows, posted on the top of a steep hill, surrounded by an abrupt scatp. They met our advance by a volley of some 50 shots and by a shower of arrows, This strong position was, nevertheless, car ried and cleared by Lieut. Thatcher, supported by some 15 men of the Police Corps. 3 Lieut. Henry was almost immediately shot down in two places, one shot passing through his lunge, and the other through both thighs. Tile Bheel who fired ,econd shot was killed by Lieutenant Thatcher. Both Lieut. Thatcher and Mr. Taylor are united in their praises of the gallant way in which I;eut. Henry fell in the execution of his duty. In him we have lost a highly valued friend, and the behaviour of the men of the Police Corps at his funeral testified to the esteem in which he was held by them. "4. Lieutenant Thatcher's conduct throughout ap pears to my humble judgment to have been admirable. From the tiretpoor Lieut. Henry underrated the strength and pluck of the enemy. Lieutenant Thatcher did all he could to persuade him to await the arrival of the re inforcements which were daily expected from Poonah and Nuggur. Finding his remonstrances of no avail, he placed himself by the side of Lieut. Henry, and the two raced together up the hill. His subsequent behaviour was, I venture to think, as gallant as it was judicious. "5. Lieut. Thatcher spoke in the warmest terms of the spirit displayed by Mr. Taylor, the Inspecting Post master, and of the.aseistence he afforded him. He also mentions that Amut Buxsh, the Resilda of the Poonah Horse, behaved with very great gallantry. He will bring to the notice of the Police Commissioner the several men of the corps who chiefly distinguished themselves. 6. Out of pts,ba'ely same 20 men who took a prominent part in the fight four were wounded, two, I fear, very severely. No idea can be formed of the number of Bheele that were killed and wounded, as they were all carried off. Lieut. Thatcher himself wounded two men, and he believes mortally. 7. Up to the time of writing this I have heard nothing further of the movements of the Meals. I trust, there fore that the attack of the day before yesterday may have cowed them. The reinforcements from Poonah have arrived, and those from Nuggur will most likely arrive during the course of the day. The Bheels can, therefore, I think, never have such another opportunity for assembling in such numbers. I have the honour to be, &c., F S. CHAPMAN, First Assistant Magistrate of Ahmednugger, The folewing is the statement of Lieut. Thatcher, Assistant Superintendent el Police, regarding the fight with the Bheels iu limit of the village of Nandoor Sin gel/3h : At 7 a.m. we marched on Nandoor, and as we were going there I pointed out to Henry the officials talking with Regejee. Henry cantered up to them, and on this I turned round to Mr. Taylor, who was riding with me, and said—' Henry's going will cause a fight ; he had better leave the niggers (meaning the officials who were parleying with Ragojee) alone.' 1 hotted the men under some trees, at a distance of about a mile from where parleying was going on. I did this by Henry's order. Shortly after a sower galloped up with orders for the to advance. I brought the men up to Henry, and asked how it (the conference) had ended. He said Ragojee had refused to come, and pointed me out a ecarped hill which he said we were t• attack. He drew the men up in a single file, and sent me with sowers to the left flank to examine the enemy's position. I did so, and reported to him that no men were visible to the extreme left. I again pointed out my objections, in military point of view, to attack at the pro posed place, and showed him another spur of the hill of easy ascent ; but it was in vain. Henry ordered the advance, and desired me to take the left, while he took the right of the line. We advanced, Henry sad myself on horseback. The position of the enemy was a most difficult one, being a high bill, with a scarped rock. On the top of the scarp, concealed among rocks and bushes, were numbers of matchlock-men. Tne first shot was fired by the enemy, and was evidently aimed at Henry. It missed him, and hit a man in the rear of him. Lieut. Henry, in a loud voice, ordered " Charge bayo nets ! We rode together in advance of the men. At a distance of about 40 yards the enemy gave us a tremen dons volley. Finding we could ride no higher, we simultaneously dismounted. Eenry drew his revolver, and I rey sword. We took off our bats and cheered on the men, which was answered by a tremendous yell from our own men. We rushed to the top of the hill, together with about 14 of our men, about 20 yards to my right rear. Henry pointed his revolver at a man, and I said, "Your pistol is not cocked." He put down, staggered against me, and said, "I'm hit in the shoulder, but never mind me—go on, old fellow!" He jumped up again, and finding our pistols useless, we each took a musket from the men who had then come up. We jumped on to the scarp, and pointed both our muskets at one man, who had evidently been watching the path. We went up; Henry again called out "Good God ! I'm hit again !" and fell. The man who fired this last shot was, I believe, shot by me just as Henry spoke. I knelt down by Henry, and asked him if he was mortally wounded. lie said, "Forward. old fellow, forward I" Seeing I could do no good, I pulled him out of the line of fire. I then, with 14 or 15 men, charged two strong hills on which the enemy were strongly nested, and made myself master of the position. The figli lasted upwards of an hour, when Mr. Taylor sent the a message by a native officer that I was being outflanked. I retired leisurely, exchanging shot for shot with the enemy, until a great Lumber of my men had exhausted their ammuni tion. On returning to Nandoor Singoleh I broke up the remainder of my detachment, and strengthened the following treasuries:-Ist, Neemoimm; 2d, Aukola ; 3J, Sucaur. I had four men wounded—two, I fear, very seriously. I have no ide a o f th e number f the enemy that were killed and wounded. I shot two myself, and to the best of my belief my men hit a great number. The behaviour of about half my detachment was ad mirable. I will make a nominal report of them. The Resild ,r of the Poonab Horse, in particular, behaved most gallantly. Armed with only a pistol, he tried to race in front of me. The remaining half of the detachment did not come under my observation. Having only such a few men left, I considered it my duty to detach them as before stated, and not make any further attack. Before concluding this statement, I feel it only due to myself to state that the attack was made against overwhelming numbers, that I strongly dissuaded Lieut. Henry from making it, and that the position of the enemy, in a military point of view, was as strong as could be conceived. I beg to state that I received great assistance from Mr. Taylor, Inspecting Postmaster in the Deccan, not only in his duties as postmaster, but also by his gallant bearing throughout thfs fight. I beg to refer to him for a corroboration of what I have stated. TO[tIN THATCIIER, Assistant-Superintendent of Police.

The United States steamer North Star, Captain Lefebre, arrived at Cowes this afternoon with ad vices from New York to the 31st ult., being two days later than those previously to hand. She brings 10 passengers for Southampton,l4 for Havre, and 14 for Bremen, and a small cargo, but has no specie. The following is extracted from the money article of the New York Herald of the 31st ult. : " The stock market to-day was an improving one from the opening. With mere activity in all the leading rail road stocks better prices ruled. At the first board Ohio Sixes, 1860, advanced ! A . per cent. ; Missouri Sixes, 14 ; Erie bonds, 1871, 21 ; ditto, 1852, 1 ; New York Cen tral Railroad, 1 ; Erie, f ; Reading, 14. Pennsylvania coal fell off 1 per cent.; Cleveland and T„ Ledo, ; Michi gan Southern, preferred, 2 ; Galena and Chicago, 1. Illinois Central Railroad opened at 82 and closed at 83 per cent., with moderate sales. All the most prominent Western Railroad stooks appeared to be in demand, and were fr..ely offered. Almost the entire movement in the market is confined to the brokers. Outsiders may be picking up some small odd lots for investment, but there is a strong bull' movement, which is resisted by a few determined spirits, who are not satisfied that we are yet out of the wood in our financial troubles. The leading bulls' come from the old bear' party, but there are a few of the old grizzlies left, who have an abiding faith in the dishonesty of managers of incorporated companies generally, and of railroad companies in particular. The earnings of our railroad companies for the month of October this year will be far behind those for the same month last. We understand that the New York Central receipts will show a decrease of more than 100,000 dole. The Harlem re ceipts for the ueonth will Le about 90,000 dole., nearly one-half of which will, we are informed, be net income. This road is now well managed. The mil age has been largely reduced, and a great saving in this way effected. On the same amount of receipts the net earnings are now much larger than heretofore. The whole secret of this can be four'l in the face that there is now a practical man at the head of the management, and he seems to know how and where to save money without injuring the efficiency of the road. We want active, scientific, and practical men as presidents of our rail road companies, and not fancy financiers. Let a finance committee of the directors attend to that, and let the pre sident attend to the actual operating affairs of the line of route. At the second beard the market was rather weak, and for some railroads stocks closed heavy. New York Central Railroad decline 4 per cent.; Reading is ; Erie Railroad advanced per cent. • Cleveland and Toledo The movement in Erie this afternoon was to some extent, and the sales were principally for cash. The most irregular and uncertain stock on the market just now is Reading. It runs up and down 2 and 3 per cent, without the slightest difficulty. The only State stock sold this afternoon was Missouri Sixes, at 69 to 694 per cent. The prompt and decided course pursued by the Governor and Legislature of Missouri in pro• viding for the payment of the January interest on the public debt, independent of the different railroad com panies, and for the prompt payment of interest when due, for all time, has had a favourable eff e ct up on th e market, and will place Missouri State Sixes as high upon the list as they ever were.

In the Bank Suspension Law passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature, it is stipulated that the deposits by the State Treasurer, or to the credit of the common wealth, in the several banks and other corporations, and all banknotes which are now or may h ere aft er b e in the Treasury, during the period of suspension, shall, from time to time, on demand of the said Treasurer, be paid by the said banks, or other corporations, respectively, in specie, in such amounts as may be required by the Treasurer to enable him to pay the interest accruing on the public loans of the commonwealth. 46 The dry goods trade the present week has exhibited rather more vitality th i n has been witnessed hem since the panic set in. The first auction sale of importance since the panic came off on Wednesday, the 28th inst. The sale comprised au assorted and valuable cata logue of French goods of late importations, chiefly by Messrs. Curtis and Co. The terms of the sale were four months for approved endorsed notes, payable in the city of New York, for all sums over 100 dole., or 5 per cent. discount for cash. All bills under 100 dole, to be settled in cash without discount. The cata logue comprised about 725 lots. The sale drew a good company, and the bidding was in many cases quite -- spirited.

RESOLUTION OF GOVERNMENT. The Right Hon. the Governor in Council has received with the deepest regret the melancholy intelligence of the death of Lieutenant Henry, the Superintendent of Police at AtimednuNer. This most able and gallant officer died in the zealous discharge of his duty. Undeterred by a severe wound which he received in leading on his reen, he still ad vanced, and when prostrated by a second and mortal wound, his word to those who tendered him their aid was " Forward !" The late of one so young, so gallant, so energetic, will be mourned by all the services, and it will especially be deplored by the Government which Lieutenant Hei.ry served so faithfully and devotedly. The Right Hon. the Governor in Council directs that the thanks of Government be communicated to Lieut. Thatcher for the gallantry so conspicuously exhibited by him ou this melancholy occasion. The Right lion. the Governor in Council also consi ders that Mr. Taylor, the Inspecting Postmaster in the Deccan, and Amnt 13uksh, Resilciah of the Poonab Horse, are deserving of the high commendation of Go vernment for their gallant conduct en the 4th inst. Mr. Chapman should be informed that his further re port will be awaited. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From, the Bombay Gazette of Saturday, Oct. 17.) Toe export market is also in au active state, and in cotton a good business has been done since the arrival of the English mail at advanced prices. Metals.—These remain steady, and we have no mate rial change to notice in them except that British bar iron and nail rod are iu good demand, and have slightly ad vanced in price. . - Cotton Manufactures.—All descriptions of gray goods continue in active inquiry at former quotations, bat the actual amount of business has been n.oderate, owing for the most part to the Dewallee holydays. Some descrip tions of gray shirtings have been eagerly sought after at a further advance in price. We have no material changes to notice it: bleachei goods, which are steady at former quotations. In Glasgow goods of all descriptions re main much the same as before, except dhotees, which still continue scarce and in demand. Turkey reel goods of all sorts, except that of 24 yards, are in a steady; or rather slightly Unproved state. In prints there is no change worthy of notice. Yarns—Both mule and water continue in active in quiry, and prices have advanced to A anua per pund on most numbers.

Spirits—Good demand exists for brandy and gin at somewhat advanced rates. Cotton—ln the market for this staple, there has been considerable animation since the arrival of the English mail with favourable accounts. Wool—Best descriptions are scarce, and a good demand exists for them. Coffee—Mocha in demand. Pepper—Scarce, and sold at slightly advanced rates. Opium—Demand for this drug continues active, and the small quantities which arrive find ready sale at advanced rates. Freights are at present quoted at 2/. 54. per ton for the utited kingdom, and 9r. per candy for China. Market as easy as before, but a scarcity soon ex pected.

The Philadelphia Ledger of the 30th says : "The investigation which has been going on for a week or two past by the directors of the Bank of Penn. Sylvania into the affairs of that institution, we under ' stand, has been brought so near a close that an invita tion was yesterday extended to the presidents of the other banks in the city to examine the result. This was declined, on the ground that the city banks had appoint ed a committee of their number to represent them on the subject, an 1 to interfere in the matter until that committee had made its report would be indelicate and improper. We understand generally, however, that the exhibit is not favourable. The immediate liabilities of the bank, in round numbers, independent of capitsl stock, we are informed, are about 2,000,000 dole., to meet which there are assets appraised at 1,750,000 dole. If this appraisement and amount of liabilities are correct, the bank would seem to be unable to pay its debts, leaving nothing for stockholders." v f : 11 (Boston Traveller of the 29th says : " There was quite a reaction in mining shares, and the few orders to purchase, induced by the very low quota tions now ruling, had an electric effect upon the mar kets.

The New York Life Illustrated says : " There is scarcely a publisher who has escaped from the list of ' failed or suspended.' We may name without discredit the following :—Harper and Brothers, J. H. Calton, and Co., H. Cossperthwaite and C 0.,. John P. Jewett and Co., J. S. Redfield. P. J. Cozzens, Miller, Orton, and Co., R. Marsh, 3. M.

The Secretary of the Navy was said to have made arrangements whereby the mechanics attached to the various navy yards will be kept fully em ployed throughout the winter. The United States' steam frigate Saranac, which . recently sailed for the Pacific, encountered a severe gale, during which she sustained such damage to her machinery as to compel her to put into Norfolk for repairs. The Deinocrati of Newbury port had nominated the Hon. Caleb Coshing for their repre.entative in the State Legislature, and he accepted the nomina tion. The city of Baltimore had been placed under martial law by the Governor of Maryland, iu order to put a stop to the outrages committed by gangs of rowdies during the election. An immense meeting of the democracy of the city of New York was held on the evening of the 29th, in and around Tammany Hall, when resolu tions were adopted ratifying the party nominations for county officers, endorsing the Kansas policy of Governor Walker, and recommending amendments to the banking system of the State. The steamship Granada arrived at New York on the 29th ult., with Havannah advices to the 24th. She brought 156,358 doll. in specie. It was thought that the Quaker City would take a large amount of specie for New York. The money crisis in the city of Havaunah had caused Government to issue a de cree ordering an examination to be made as to the solvency and capital of all the newly formed joint stock speculation concerns on the island. Sugar had declined in price, and trade generally was dull. There were no freights for American vessels in port. The reports of the sugar crop were favourable. Colonel Blythe, the United States' Consul-General, had returned to his post. A large cargo of slaves had been landed in a starving condition. The steamship Star of tie West, from Aspinwall, for New York, with the California mails and treaBute, had not reached Havannah at 6 o'clock ou the morning of the 24th. By way of Havannah we have news from San Jose, Costa Rica, to the 23d ult.-20 days later than previous accounts. Gen. Canes had left the capital on a diplomatic mission to Nicaragua. It was evident that the relations subsisting between Costa Rica and Nicaragua were anything but cor dial, and it was announced as very probable that the two old parties in the latter country would soon again be arrayed in arms against each other. The steamer Tennessee had arrived at New Or leans with news from the city of Mexico to the 18th, and from Vera Cruz to the 21st ult., and a quarter of a million in specie.

Moir, arrived at Southampton yes terday at 12 30 p.m.,. with the mails from the Brazils, River Plate, &c., in charge of Lieut. T. P. Barrow, R.N., to the following dates : Bueno3 Ayres —. Oct. 2 St. Vincent (Cape) Monte Video Rio Janeiro — 15 Teneriffe Nov. 4 Bahia I Pernambuco — 22 Lisbon — 9 The Tevoit experienced very boisterous weather on the Brazil coast ; thence to Lisbon, moderate winds, with favourable weather ; from Lisbon to the Channel, strong north-easterly winds. This steamer landed 31 passengers at Lisbon, and brings 63 to Southampton, among whom are Lieut.- Colonel Grenfell, from Buenos Ayres ; Capt. J. S. ' Da • Gomenson, Lieut. A. C. R. de Silva, Col. J. A. Bellard, Baron G. Von Bonin, from Rio, &c. On freight she has specie value 1,0821., of which 6021. is in gold and 4801. in silver ; diamonds value 30,5001. ; precious stones, pearls, &c., vaine '750/. ; and a cargo comprising 350 serons of cochineal, 200 brls. of tapioca, 60 brls. of gum copal, 495 boxes of oranges, 6 casks of wine, and 129 packages of sun dries. Two live tigers from Paraguay have also been brought by this steamer. _ _ At Monte Video was H.M. ship Wasp. At Rio Janeiro Her Majesty's ship Cumberland (Rear-Admiral P. W. P. Wallis), Madagascar fri gate, Virago and Assurance steamers, Spy and Siren brigs ; French frigate Poursuivante, and steamer Tenare ; United States' frigate St. Law react); Spanish frigate Villa de Bilboa, and schooner Cruz. At Pernambuco, H.M. ship Har rier. The steam transport Southampton, with troops for India, was at St. Vincent, and would lewd on the 31st Oct. Her Majesty's ship Scourge and the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Alhambra left Lisbon on the morning of the 9th, the former for Portsmouth and the latter for Southampton. From Buenos Ayres there is not much political news. Recent intelligence from the Azul and Pata gones represented things as perfectly quiet in the South, with rumours, however, of projected inva sions on a large scale, in which Calfucura was to be aided by the Chili= Indians. In commercial mat ters there was very little to notice. The arrivals and transactions in the dry goods markets had been very moderate. For articles of daily consumption there was more activity, but the demand stilt ex ceeded the supply. The saladeros were at a stand still, and doomed to remain so for the remainder of the current year at least. The season promised to be very late. Dry hides arrived in great abun dance from the interior rivers, and also heavy sup plies of epidemia hides from the country districts, notwithstanding which the demand increased and prices continued to advance. The case was different with salted hides, ox and horse. Hardly any thing was doing in wool, holders being firm and s oeculators chary—the difficulty being enhanced by the course of the money market. Our correspon dent at Buenos Ayres, in his letter of October 2, says : The Government here has presented a bill to the Chambers, sanctioning the arrangement made with the London bondholders. It will, no doubt, be sanctioned ; and the parties interested owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Riestra, the Minister of Finance, for the courage and perseverance with which he has prosecuted that nego tiation. " News arrived yesterday of another Indian invasion to the north-west, but we are as yet in the dark as to the real details, albeit Pergamino is within a day's rids of the capital. " This packet takes home a strong representation to her Majesty's Government on the National Guard ques tion." From Rio our commercial advices are to the 14th ult. In the import-market business had been ex ceedingly limited since the departure of the Petro polis steamer. There had been but little movement in the wine -market, and prices continued depressed. Of Miditerranean red wines, sales were reported of about 145 pipes Port Vendres at from 193$ to 2405; Malaga white had been placed at 220$ to 2305, and 2405, according to quality. Stocks in first hands consisted of 2,773 pipes red and 50 pipes white. Re cent sales of second quality Lisbon red wino at 230$ had tended to depress the market still more, and although the stock of red Lisbon was not ex cessive, sales to any extent could not be effected unless at very reduced rates. This steamer having brought but 70 firkins butter, and expected sup plies being small, an unfavourable impression was produced on prices, and rates had risen from 640$ to 680$ and 700$. In first hands 700 firkins. Quotations for flour were :—Baltimote, 18$ to 18$500 ; New Orleans, 19 to 193500 ; Philadelphia, none; Richmond, second, 223500 to 235500; ditto, first, 24$ to 25$ ; Stook, 32,000 brls., of which 16,000 are Richmond. In the coffee-market a fair business was done after the Med way sailed up to the end of the month, since which less disposition to operate had been manifested, as the qnality of the lots at market was not sufficiently good to meet the views of buyers. Really good and fine coffees, both old and now, con tinued to arrive very sparingly, which was the more striking as at this period of the crop a far better selection is usually looked for. Supplies had in general been moderate within the past fortnight. From the let to the 13th October the sales had been 18,000 bags, and from the 15th to the 30th Sept., 155,000 bags, making together 113,000 bags, of which 96,000 were for the United States, 43,000 for the Channel and North of Europe, 30,500 for the Mediterranean, and 3 4 500 for the Cape of Good Hope. Round l ots ruled up to the 9th October for the States from 0200 to 0450 ; Channel, 0100 to to 4200 ; Mediterranean, 4200 to 55400. Since then nothing had been don alnd. quoc-ations were entirely nominal, in consciiumce of the unfit-oar s:tile news received from Rir , pe and tho . United. States by the Teviot, which arrived on the morning of that day. There was no alteration in the prices of Campos sugars. In hides nothing had bgen done beyond 500 at 480 rein ; stock, 3,147. Freights were very dill, '1 —l, eht4rtei ed vessell hung h:avily on the ;nark w. Exchange on LArlon, 271c1. tigd. ; bills t ) Rattle extent , trawn at six months were passed at 27id. and subsequently at 27d. At Bahia considerable activity had prevailed in the flour-market during the week preceding the de parture of the Teviot, and stocks amounted to 7,500 barrels. There had teen no fresh arrivals of jerked beef, and prices ruled from 6sooo to 65400 por ar roba, according to quality. Irish butter sold at 740 reds per pound. No supplies of Dutch cheese in hand. Stocks of wine were considerable, and dealers only purchased to supply their immediate wants, ex- pectiog a consideral;l; decline in price ; quotations were almost nominal and flat. Ot sugar no sales of importance had been effected, with tLe exception of about 6,400 bags of brown Nazareths, which were purchased at 2sBoo and 25900 per arroba ; of good browns in cases a few small lots changed hands at 35200 per arroba ; of whites no sales had transpired. All other descriptions being neglected, prices were nominally 3sBoo to 4$ per arroba. There had consequently been a decline of about 50Ors. per arroba since the report by the last Southampton steamer. Sales of coffee had been effected at Bsloo per arroba for Maceios, and BsBoo to 9$ per arroba for Babias, being 400 rs. to 60Ors. above quotations by the last steamer ; there was little left in first hands, but the demand had been less brisk latterly. Supplies of coffee werecotning in regularly but there was less demand ; stocks were small, consisting of about 1,000 bags ; last sales w ere a t 0900 per arroba. Small lots of cocoa which had appeared in the market found a ready sale at 7sBoo to 841 per arroba. Hides were selling at 330 rs. to 340 rs. per lb. for dry salted, and 380 rs. to 390 rs. per lb. for dry. There was more inquiry for dry hides, and holders demanded 400 rs. per lb. No tapioca in the market, and good qualities were much inquired after, and would fetch high prices. Quotations of freights were-nominal. In exchange transactions were effected at 271 d., 60 days for cash ; bills were still offeringat 27id. on easy terms of payment. From Pernambuco our correspondent writes as follows on the 22d ult.:— " Teviot arrived ou the 2d inst.. with dates to the 9th ult., and on the 9:b inet., we received London news to the 17th ult. by the Brazilian mail steamer Oyapock. " The advices received by these two vessels being un favourable for sugars, some decline in prices took place. The supplies have been good, and upwards of 20,000 bags have been purchased for shipment to the Channel, Mediterranean, and Liverpool. Prices are firm, and packers are determined to hold their present stocks until later advices are received from Europe. We quote Daus oovados 23900 to 33300 per arroba, or 275. ld. to 30s. sd. per cwt. f.o.b. ; and whites, 33900 to 53100 per arroba, or 365. 7d. to 463 93. per cwt. f.0.b., ex freight. "Cottons, with exciting news from Liverpool, have amain advanced, and we quote them to day 83800 to 93100 per arroba, or 8 15-161 to 9 13-64 d. per lb f 0.b.; P.raibas, 95400 to 93500 per arroba, f.o.b. or Bid. to 8 37 64d. per lb. ; and Maceios, 93250 per arroua, or 8 7-641. to 8 11-32 d. per lb. f.o.b.

"Exchange-80,0001. have been parsed for this con veyance at 27d. 60 days' sight ; closes flat. The Teviot left Lisbon on the afternoon of the 9th inst. The French transport steamer Mouse, from Goree, bound for Brest, coaling in the Tagus, was the only foreign ship of war left in the port. The Portuguese Cortes were opened en the 4th by the Ministers, who were authorised to rea d a speech on behalf °this Majesty. It did not, how ever, contain anything which had not been pre viously public, and as the deputies and peers did not assemble in sufficient numbers to enter upon their legislative functions, the session was, on the 7th, prorogued until the 9th Dec. The speech from the throne referred to the paralysation of commerce and reduction of Customs' revenue, in consequence of the fever prevailing at Lisbon, as urgently call in.. for legislative enactments in respect to the pub lic'finances ; but it was supposed the fever kept the legislators away from Lisbon, notwithstanding the good example set them by their young sovereign. The last reports' of the fever brought by the Teviot are much the same as those received by the last packet, viz. :-223 new cases, 80 deaths, and 116 cures, in 24 hours, up to 10 p.m. on the 7th. The weather does not appear to have continued sufficiently cool to have any beneficial effect upon the epidemic, which continued to suspend all but absolutely unavoidable commercial operations. Money was still scarce upon the Lisbon Exchange —and had not the Board of Public Credit been a taker, the rate on London for three months' bills must have gone above 54k, at which some paper remained over. A few bills offered also on Paris at 520 to 524 ' - Hamburg, 48i ; and Amsterdam, 43g. In stocks and shares no business had been done, and the quotations are nominally the same as by last packet. THE CRISIS. MANCHESTER, Nov. 13. What effect the virtual suspension of the Bank Charter Act may have on trade here it is too early yet to predicate, but it has calmed publics feeling on commerical matters considerably to-day, and we have had a more cheerful and hopeful feeling in the market, leading spinners in some instances to put up their prices a little. It has not given con fidence to buyers, however, and both spinners and manufacturers compelled to realise have had to make further concessions. Where sales have been effected they have been made at rates below those of last week a good deal, and shirtings may be quoted is. to ls. 3d. per piece below the rates pre vailing a mouth ago. Even with these exceptional instances, business has been on an exceedingly small scale. The suspension of a house in the American trade here is mentioned, and the particu lars will probably be before the public soon. BRISTOL, Nov. 13. The intelligence that Government had authorised the Bank of England to extend its issue of notes upon securities was communicated on Thursday afterno n to the President of the Commercial roonisi by Mr. Joshua Saunders, manager of the Bristol branch Bank of England. The information was at once posted on the reading stands, and spread through the city with electric rapidity. The gloom which had been caused among commer cial classes by the disastrous advicea of the morning was at once dispelled, and the general feeling was that the right step had been taken at the right time for preventing the ruinous consequences of a monetary panic. The intention of Lord Palmer ston immediately to convene Parliament to sanction the course which he had adopted (announced in The Sun of yesterday) has also been received with extreme satisfaction. The change in the aspect of commercial matters here within the last 24 hours is very gratify*. EDINBURGH, THURSDAY EVENING. This morning the banks were again visited with heavy demands for gold fbut the panic had already shown symptoms of considerable abatement when in the afternoon an announcement was issued by the Lord Provost to the effect that, at an interview between his Lordship and the managers and direc tors of the various banks, they had agreed to ac cept the notes of both the Western and City of Glasgow Banks ,whenever offered in the ordinary course of business. This gratifying and reassuring intimation had of course the effect of restoring full value to the notes in circulation, and as arrange ments are said to be in progress to retire the notes of the Western Bank, and to resume payment by the City of Glasgow, there seems every reason for hoping that the crisis, so far as regards the currency of banknotes, is at an end. (From the Caledonian Mercury.) On Wednesday night a deputation from the Chartered banks left the rcity for London, with 4,000,000 of securities, with the determination, if the Bank Act should not be suspended, to go to the Bank of England and demand gold to that amount. On the same evening, according to a message re ceived in Glasgow, the Governor of the Bank of England had an intervi ew w ith L ord Palmerston. Whether the effect was produoed byeithter or both of these circum s ta nces, we are unable we have since l earne d th at the Bank C o ha s r a t y er , Act t has been suspended. The City of Glasgow Bank officials are makin g up a financial st a t ement, which, if it prove sati sfactory, will lead to this establishment's opening on Mon day. Altogether things am now in a much better state than during the previous part of the week, and we trust they will continue to improve.
