CITY, Two o'CLocK. Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and prices were fully supported. The sales were est' mated at 7,000 bales, 500 of which were taken by the ex- Porters. The Railway Share Market closed with a less animated appearance, and prices have slightly declined. A moderate demand has prevailed this week for most descriptions of Foreign and Colonial produce, and steady prices have generally been realised. Sugar has met with an active inquiry, and the quo tatiens have slightly tended upwardg. Coffee has realised an advance of 6d. per cwt., tea is at full values, and rice is dull, owing to the enhanced terms asked by the importers. Saltpetre is firmer in consequence of the news, from India, cotton re mains steady, and tallow is at a slight decline. In apices a fair number of purchases have been made, but no important variation can be announced. Although the decline in the value pf stocks and shares in the New York Money Market continued at the latest date, the panic feeling which recently prevailed among the business community appears to have subsided, and as no further failures had occurred, it is expected that affairs will soon assume a tranquil aspect. A further depression in value is not improbable, and discount accommodation may remain dear, but no general mercantile distress is predicted. The collapse just experienced was not altogether unexpected, the inflation in prices having been too rapid to prove substantial,. but the excitement Which is inseparable from a state of panic always leads to unnecessary alarm and the circulation of extreme opinions. The North Star has brought $lOO,OOO fu. Have and $50,000 for England, not withstanding the low rate of exchange. The Calcutta despatches enable us to form a com parison of the rates of exchange, with thOse received by the previous mail. It will be observed by the following comparative table that the tendency both in India and China is decidedly favourable, but notwithstanding this the shipments by the Ripon which leaves next Sunday will probably amount to 700,000/. of which about half is intended for Hong Kong and Shanghai.

This morning Antonio de Sa aged 29, was indicted for the wilful murder of Robert Henderson Robertson, in the Queen's Prison on the Bth of July fait. It will he ree,lleeted that on the 21st of Aug. last the prisoner was Lund guilty cf grievously wounding Mr. It sbertson and atntenced to fiftien years penal servitude, the Pidge at the same time informing him that if the prosecutor died be would have to take his trial f)r murder. Unfortunately a very few hours after the trial Mr. Robertson exp:red and Salvi was charged with murder. On the part of Cue prisoner, a plea of autrefois acquit wag put in, and the learned counsel contended that his cAlld not Le indicted on the charge of murder, as he hod already been tried and convicted for the offence he Lad committed, and ba'l been sentenced to 15 years' papal servitude. Mr. Bodkin, on the part of the prosecution, as' ed the Court for time to meet the plea put in by the prisoner or demurrer. The learned judge thought it but reasonable that time should be allowed th) counsel fur the Crown to meet the plea of anteefois After a short conversation it was decided that tie trial should bo postponed until the next session, and that it should be taken the first thing on Wednesday, the 28th of October. The Court also directed that a o , py of the demurrer should be transmitted to the pri soner a week before the day fixed for the trial, in order that he might be prepared with his answer.

The term perfection, as applied to mechanical invsne tions must alwaya:be a changeable and evanescent one in an age of progressive improvements, such as the present. The mechanical coutrivances which by their apparent id -genuity and utility excite our admiration to the utmost one day, may on the wee; be supersedeo, nod looked ripen as out of date, until finally they are only regarded as the distant landmarks which trace out the rcriel &long which improvement has advanced. As a teen!". of the spirit of emitlation which anintatee the whble human race, that which was wonderful yesterday becomes by comparison common place to thy. and tiee subject of ridi cule to-morrow. The electric telegraph feriae no Ex tep, Lion to the general rule; At the time of its inventioti, the wonderful facilities; of in. tantaneous communication which it gave were quite unequalled and perfectly beyond the reach of improvement. Nevertheless this wonderful piece of perfection has undergone several modificationi during the brief period of its existence, each of which has added something to its simplicity and utility, and yet ite the end it is but a very imperEct instrument after all. These who are accoi-teteed to read and hear of fabulous thousands of miles being sienared through in the space ef a second will find it difficult to realise the fact that the chief obj?ction to the electric telegraph as at present constructed is the slowness of its eperation. Yet such is neverthelees the case. The Electric current will, it is true, circulate through a long length of wire in a second, and thereby register one signal; but it is no less true that very few of these signals can he formed and transrnit•ed with the present arrangement in a good many minutes. It is therefore at the clenching stage of the transmission that the delay cceers, Various expedients have been devised to overcome the difficulty, which is purely a me. chanicel one, but hitherto without success. Magneto electric and recordieg telegraphs have successively been tried in vain, for though decided improvements on the old needle instruments, they offered no effectual remedy to the great evil—slowness'. The present tardiness of the signalling is one of the chief reasons of the high prices which are charged for the transmission of a compara tively few words. It of course becomes a mere matter of calculation to the telegraph companies. If a certain number of words occupy an equal number of minutes in sending, it must be clear that the limit of words which. can possiuly be sent iu the course of the twenty-four hours are very soon reached, and therefore to secure an adequate return for their expenditure of capital the com panies are obliged to charge a comparatively lerge sum for each • word. It is also frequently kuni necessary, a here there is a great deal of telegr e aph business for com panies to lay down two, and in soma cases three separate lines to enable them to transmit all the messages en trusted to their care. Thus the public are obliged to pay interest on double and treble the capital that would be necessary it really rapid_and effective instruments were in use. Such an instrument has, however, recently been in vented by Mr. Isham Bagga a gentleman whose name has been for some time most intimately connected with the progress of electrical science, which for its ingenuity and real utility may be nassed among the greatest in ventions of modern times. By means of this contrivance, the whole of the difficulties which beset the present sys tem of tele graphing are removed, And a very great number of signals transmitted thrmigh a single wire in an aimo-t incredibly short space of time. The chief no,t lty in Mr. Bigge's invention is the substitution of seam power for the ordinary manual labour in the sending of the signal', by which of course a very great saving of both time and. expense is efintel The manner of registering the signals at the end of the current is also both novel and efficacious, and interesting alike al an ingenious adapta tion of a scientific principle, and as a means of utilisieg a power which has never before been usefully employed. To describe minutely the modus operandi of the machine would necessitate long descriptions of technical ilstai!s equally interesting and unintelligible to those not thoroughly conversant with electrical ecienc a Therefore, it is merely intended in this notice to give a general de scription of the mechanical contrivances, and to pass ewe r briefly the theoretical reasons for the effects produced. In order thoroughly to make the improvements which have been effected manifest, it will be necessary to give some short description of the method of telegraphing at present in vogue. The signals are sent by making a cer tain number of successive communications between the pales of a voltaic battery, and a wire included in its &- unit. Thus, by uttering the succession and direction of disconnection; needles and papers are variously deflected and marked at the end of the circuit. These connections are made by means of a handle, of course slowly turned by the hand of a clerk, who occupies the wire the whole time that the message is being transmitted. In substitution of this method Mr. Bags proposes to have a series of gutta percha bands rolled round appro. priate wheels. In the series of holes with which the hands are studded the clerks insert brass pins, variously combining them in twos, threes, &c., according to the letters to be sent, and thus, as it were, "set up" the message in type. Any number of clerks, according to the number of gutta percha, bands, may be at work at once, totally irrespective of the wire, which is all the time open for other purposes. The gutta percha bands when full of signals are passed rapidly by means of steam machinery between the charged electrical pales of the instrument, in such a manner that, as each pin passes, it fame a metallic communication between the instru- - meet and the wire, and a signal is consequently trans mitted. There is hardly any limit to the rapidity at which the signal bands can be passed through the instrument, as, in consequence of the almost instan taneous nature of electricity—each pin only forming electrical contact for the 100th part of a second—it will be amply sufficient to register a corresponding signal at the other end of the circuit. lieu many pages of letter pros may, by a division of labour and an ade sleet. ea ,bor of laga,cla, ha cat up in half an hour, and ttin transmitted from one end of tee earth to the othtr ;n few minutes, one wire being used all the time. It is impcs-ible t ) overrate tho advantages of this invention, when we consider that electrical communication is now no longer as it were a luxury, but has become by long use a necessary part of our system. Telegraphing, thorn is no doubt, will in futnre become, with the increased facilities of this inveution, almost as common, and con sequently nearly as cheap, as postal communication. The importance of this instrument for a Transatlantic telegradle may at once be seen by those who know the difficulties which were experienced by the Atlantio Tele graph Company in transmitting the signals through the cable with s efficient rapidity, although the most expen• sive contrivances in the way of powerful batteries were used to obviate them. It is generally admitted that even bad the cable been successfully laid down it would with these instruments have been impossible to send more than 30 or 40 messages per diem each way ; and it was therefore contemplated to lay down a scond cable at the cost of several hundred thousand pounds to en able the company to undertake the transmission of even one-half of the messages with which they would, at the lowest carol nation, have been entrusted. The steam telegraph, I o vever, has overcome at least that difficulty which at , o I hi the way of the accomplishment of one of the greatest ut d rtalcings of modern times. Supposing a single wits to have been laid dote re between England and America, it woull be Iperfec ly possible to rxelange daily between the two countries the prircipal contents of the morning papers, and that two with v •ry little difficulty or ex pense. Though the pi incipls of Mr. Begg's invention is applicable to telegraphing with voltaic electr c . ty an the ordinate , stay, yet he preen to work his iestru ments with static or high tewion electricity. The application of thia description of electrical force .to 'telegraphic purposes, though not absolutely new, has at least the novelty of being cuceeseful, while all the former attempts to accomplish the same object failed most signally. The advantages possessed by static electricity as a conmunicating medium in place of voltaic electricity, consist chiefly in the cheapness of its pro• duction, and its high intensity, which renders it cap able of overcoming obstacles in the shape of slight defects in the communications, &c., which would en tirely interrupt au ordinary current of voltaic elec. tricity. The necessity of agumenting the intensity of electric currents for telegraphing has lately been cow sidered of great importance by electrical engineers, and for this put pose " induction coils" have been very ex tensively employed of late. The method of supp l y ir g the static electriety is novel, and at the same titre simple. It requires no introduction of an electre-rg netic coil at the end' of the circuit to enable it to register the signal on the paper, the mere force of the electric i discharge being sufficient to pierce . the p o a t pe th r. o . o als tinguish the difference of the po h sitton sign of and Ito es charges through the pins are the le v f h t , sent through those on tle which peculiar arrangement of negative electricty aro sent , hf l , e t p h o o s u it g i h ve h e o le t c h tr o i h ci a t r y go i s s pass through the wireonee i by made to pierce the paper in different directions. the apparatus, the efferent a speciesof electricity Theare electrical force is while the machine is in operation, cor.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a special court (the first since the va cation) was held for the purpcse of considering 01.3 provisions of the Thames Conservancy Act, which received the royal assent on the 17th ult. There was a large attendance of members of both courts. FUND FOR THE RELIEF OF THE SUFFERERS BY THE MUTINIES IN INDIA. Mr. Richard Rowe handed in the following 'no tice of motion, which was read by the Town Clerk : —" That this Court, regarding with strong feelings . of abhorrence the savage enmities inflicted upon our fellow countrymen, women, and children, by the native troops of the Bengal army, and deeply sympathising with the helpless sufferers, now re duced t? a state of utter destitution, is most.desir ous of aiding the efforts for promptly relieving their nccoasities, and directs the Chamberlain to con ribute the sum of 500/. in aid of the funds now being raised in this country for that purpose." Mr. Wooltorton read the following not:ce of mo tion :—"That this Court, deeply lamenting the calamities that have befallen our fellow-subjects in India, desires to express its warmest sympathy with them in their misfortune. That the sum of 1,000/. be subscribed by the corporation towards the sum being raised for the alleviation of their neeesities, and that the same be handed to the Right Hun. the Lord Mayor by the Chamberlain fer that pur pose." ("No, no.") THE THAMES CONSERVANCY ACT. The Rembrancer having formally laid upon the table the new Thames Conservancy Ac', The LORD MAYOR rose and said,—Gentlemen, I felt it my duty to call you together to-day for the purpose of affording you an opportunity of taking into consideration the provisions of the bill which has been laid upon the table by the Rernembrancer. I felt it the more necessary to do because I find that you have the appointment of six gentlemen to a I as commissioners. I thought it would be desirable to consider the matter well before V:e Court ass•mr bled for the purpose of selecting cren , lemen to fill the office of commissioners. Ac ° this is a matter which cannot be at all interesting to the public, but which concerns wholly ourselves, I take the liberty of suggesting that strangers should be re quested to withdraw. (Hear, hear.) DeputyLoTT moved, and Depnr yatxurseconded, that strangers be ordered to withdraw. The modon was then agreed to nem. con., and the doors of the court were closed to the public during the remainder of the day. MARKET NEWS.---(this Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. Coastwise, a very moderate supply of English wheat has been received up to our market this week. By land carriage, the receipts of that grain fresh up to-day were small, nevertheless, the show of samples was Wet ably good. All kinds met a dull sale, and Monday's prices were barely supported. The imports of foreign wheat are only 2,750 quarters. Fine qualities were held at very full prices, but nil other kinds were neglected. wars less activity in the barley tza,le.

A LADY KILLED BY AN OMNIBUS. —Yesterday Mr. Bedford, the coroner, received information of the death of Mrs. Christiana Clark, the wife of a merchant at North Shields, which was occasioned by injuries re ceived by being run over by a Bayswater °embus, opposite Salisbury-street, in the Strand. The deceased arrived in town a few days back with her tillable:ad and two &lighters from North Shields. They were pr. - ceeding to Hungerford-mark et, on their way to the Crystal Palace, when the unfortunate lady, in crossing the Strand, was knocked down by the pole of an omni bus, and both the near wheels went over her legs Soon after her admission to Charing-cross Ilospi•al amputation of one ef her legs took place, after which she gradually sank, and died on Tuesday. ROYAL LEGITIMACY IN PERSIA.— ' According to the last accounts from Persia," says tl:e independence of Brussels, " an event of great political itniottance has taken place at Teheran. It is well known that poly gamy is permitted in Persia, and the Shah, as well tv his subjects, can have several wives. It is the custom in the East for Sovereigns wily to marry princesses of OA blood royal. The Shah has departed from thatenstom, and beeline attached to one of his seraglio, who, although not belonging to a princely fatni!y, pos sessed great ii • telligence and power of mind. She, therefore, became his favourite sultana. She gave birth ishe to a b so n, whr, y from a very early age, was distinguished euch rt. markable intelligence that the Persian people were pleased to consider him as their lawfA heir to the the throw'. Their wishes have jest been grat.fied, fur presurtit tive heir having died last year, the Shah has deaignattd the young son of his favourite sultana as his successor. A ceremony conducted with' extraordinary pomp, at tended this annour.cement. As ama ter of course this jealouey was excited in the seraglio by this ' measu re, but the people have Leen unanimous in the ex . pression of their joy at the !choice made by their Bove reign."
