Length ; We have ; passed ,another dull week it our niarket,.tthet ra d e . con tinuing to buy in the same-cautious nianzie r.; .ned, as the market is freely -supplied . with Cotton,,acid .holders _generally anxious to :realise, we base .to reduce our scale of qnotations., The decline 'in .the " middling " and better qualities of Alum-icon:is:not more than from 1-16 d. told. per lb. ; but thetcommon, flusty:sorts, and, in fart, atqueilities of American with.sand =Must, are not ordya per lb. lower inwitiee, but are-very unsaleable. The sand and dust, so xeneril .in the common qualities of American Cotton thisyear, amounts to a very serious objection, not only on account, 'of the uncertainty of Goss—which cannot . betestimated, owing, in many instances, to the deceitful manner in , which the bales are packed—but more, at.the,present moment, .from the trouble:and an noyaneefoceasioned. in Tthe working of such Cotton, and the complaints made shy nany of the operatives. NVe feel we cannot, -especially, at the opening of a new -season, draw the attention of buyers in the . American markets too strongly to .this fact, and urge the neeessity of a more ear;ful preparation and inspection of the tales on the other side. We now quote "middling" -uplands, 6d. 11-10ths; Mobile, .66d. ; and Orleans, 7d. The Committee ,of Brokers :place "fair" Uplands, n i d. ; Mobile, 'ltd.; and Orleans, Bd. Surat Cotton is plen tifully aering for sale, giving buyers an excellent choice, including much prime quality, such as is • only to be met with :abundantly among tie first astant, at Twelve o'clock, at arrivals. In prices there is no quotable change, though no doubt the tarn of advantage is with buyers. Erazils are 4d to %d. per lb. lower, the extreme decline apply ing to Maeelos. Egyptians are dull of sale, and rather easier to purchase. 850 American and 130 Surat are r3ported to have been taken on speculation ; 1,050 American, 7,510 Surat, 60 Tgyptian, and 350 Baum, for export; 'so that the delivenes to the trade for,the week have been about 36,500 isales. In the Liverpool Share .."Nlarket business was not active, but the value of _most classes of stack maintained the advance which had been esta blished during the week, and the tendency of the market was towards a general hardening. The business done included sales at the subjoined rates :—Birkenhead, 7.; Great Western, 614 Lancashire and Yorkshire, 954 f 4 ; London and North-Western, ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 15-16tks ; Great Western of canada,l3l3-16ths. The General Produce Markets have been rather more active during the week just ended. In .Sugar, the low prices accepted by holders for re fining descriptions have stimulated the demand, and the market closes steadily at firm prices. For Molasses there has also been a good demand, and good qualities being scarce, command full rates, The Rum Market is steady, without change in price. There has also been a large quantity of Coffee offering ; but the demand has been languid, and there is some slight decline in prices. Rice is dull ; and although prices are not lower, there is an evident depressing tendency in the market. The improvement in Tea noticed last week continued until the last day or two, when the market became less acti y e ; but prices keep very firm, Common Congous are scarce at ls. sd. per lb. The demand for Beef during the week has been rather better than for some time past, but no variation in prices has been reported, although fine qualities are held with increasing firmness, .For American Pork there has been but little inquiry, and sellers, in some instances, have been pressing. Notwithstanding large recent arrivals, Cheese has sold freely, and there has been no accumulation of stock. A fair amount of business was done in Foreign Railway Shares, at rates slightly improved com pared with those of the previous day, while in all cases quotations were well supported.. Dutch itoemsn aqvanced. 7 per cent., and Lombardo- Venetian 1 per cent. French lines, in some in stances, were markedl per cent. higher. Antwerp and Rotterdam were last quoted at ,:;! to 42-; Bahia and San Francisco, 1 to 1 dis. ; Dutch Rhenish, 51 to 4% dis. ; Great Luxembourg, 7% to 7.1, ; Lombardo-Venetian, New ISsue, 24 to 2% prem. ; Paris, Lyons, and Mediterranean, 354 to 36 ; Paris and Orleans, 54 to 56 ; Sambre and Meuse, 6Z- to 6%; Ditto, Preference, 84 to 91. In the London Railway Share Market the business done was to a fair average extent, and generally speaking the tone of the market was firm, while not a few of the principal stocks advanced in value, the advance ranging from 4 to 2 per cent. Lancaster and Carlisle, with Scottish Central, closed 40s. higher, and Great Western, 20$. ; CirO:t Northern, Brighton, Mid lands, and South Wales improved. 10s. per share ; London and North-Western, ss. to 10s:, Caledonian, Berwicks, and Yorks, were each ss. better. Caledonian closed at 871 to 881; Eastern Counties, 551 to 561; Great Northern, 1004 to 1011 ; Great Western, 611 to 62 ; Lancaster and Carlisle, 194 to 198 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 951 to 96; Brighton and South Coast, 110 to 112 ; London and North-Western, 931 to 9417 South-Western, 92 to 93 ; Midland, 105 to 1051 ; Berwicks, 881 to 891 ; Yorks, 711 to 721 ; North London, 103 to 105 ; Scottish Central, 111 to 113 ; South-Eastern, 751 to 751 ; and South Wales, 621 to 634. The market for Colonial Railway Shares ex hibited some activity, and a uniform steadiness in the prices, with the exception of East India Guaranteed, which had an advance of ss. per share. Atlantic and St. Lawrence left off at 79 to 81 ex div. ; Buffalo and Lake Huron Prefer ence, 6 to 7 ; East Indian Guaranteed, 991 to 1001; ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 35 to 36 ; Ditto, Preference Bonds, 92 to 94 ; Great Indian Penin sula, 97 to 98 ; Great Western of Canada, 13% to to 13%; Scinde, 18 1 to 19 1; and Punjaub 1% to 1 dis. The following appeared in a portion of our im pression of yesterday : MONEY MARKET. The Funds opened at a further trifling improve ment, but towards the middle of the day a reaction was occasioned by the statement (apparently of an exaggerated character) respecting the increase in the French navy. Co.sols finally closed 1-16 to a per cent. lower than yesterday. In the other departments of the Stock Exchange there is a growing enquiry for a number of securities, which hitherto .have been neglected. From day to day some class of stock assumes a better position in the market, although more than a partial revival of business cannot be looked for until the numerous absentees from London shall return. To-day's telegrams from Amsterdam announce a fresh rise of Ito 4 per cent. in Austrian stock. The recent declaration in the Moniteur, that France has accom plished her mission, i.e., that she does not intend to draw the sword again against Austria, seems to have given confidence to the holders of these securities. The demand for money at the Bank to-day was very slack. The amount of gold taken to the Bank was £70,000. Large arrivals are announced. There is still little or no demand for gold for the Continent. — Daily News.

There has been less demand for money to day, and the applications at the Bank show a decrease. The amount of stock paid in full on the New Indian Loan of £5,000,000, is about £3,250,000. The chan , res in the Railway Market, to-day, have been unimportant. —Times. LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE. LONDON, Friday Evening.

They had doubtless done all they could in the Arctic seas, and had landed in the hope of preserving themselves for future efforts,—more immediately indeed, it appears,—with the view of reaching the Great Fish River, still in pursuance of their enterprise.

The trade still limit their operations to small parcels for immediate consumption, and, with very moderate purchases for export (excepting of E.

The quotations for Middlings scarcely show the true position of the market, for the lower grades are out of all proportion depressed, and sandy parcels are almost unsaleable.

The trade at the country markets this week has ruled firm, with an upward tendency in the value of Wheat, which has improved fally Is. per quarter as compared with the quotations of last week. Here, during the last two days, we have maintained the prices of Tues day. with a firmer feeling than was apparent on that day, while choice parcels of Pion" have been in request at our extreme quotations.

Our correspondent, who has favoured us with some very stringent remarks on the recent disaster in the Chinese . waters, had better, we think, suspend his judgment for the present. Under no circumstances can we insert communications not accompanied by the author's real name and address, not necessarily for publication, but as a guarantee of good faith.

They should be legibly written on one side of the paper only, and contain (in confidence) the writer's name and address. lowed, All this, or very much' of it, had been taken for granted already. England had become recon ciled to the idea of it. We had lost our hope, our utmost hope. After having hoped against hope, it had all been felt to be in vain ; and the nation's tears were beginning to be dried up, under its reconciliation to the lamentable conclusion, that its brave but unfortunate countrymen, whom it had sent forth to attempt again to force the icy barriers of a North-west passage, had, like so many before them, perished in the process. But now we are doubly sure that the eventful though sorrowful story is ended. Upon the spot itself it had long been ended. The noble and dauntless spirit of FRANKLIN passed away from its earthly tenement, now more than twelve years tlorttrn dimts SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1859 THE DAY'S NEWS. We give the latest accounts that have been re ceived respecting the negotiations for a settlement of the Italian dispute ; but they are still indefi nite. It is to this very circumstance, no doubt, that one may attribute the variety of rumours now afloat on the subject. The safest plan, there fore, will be to suspend one's opinion until some thing certain is known as to the result of the conferences still proceeding at Biarritz. One of the results of the negotiations now going on will of course be a definitive treaty of peace between France and Austria, in which it is said the preliminary treaty of Villafranca will be strictly maintained. But there is reason to be lieve it will be a treaty between France and Austria only—Sardinia being no party to it. What this means, is not yet explained. More troops for China, it will be seen, have been despatched by the overland route, including drafts of Royal Marines, and Rifle Brigade, and Infantry regiments. The Great Eastern is having another trouble, there has been a mutiny on board ; and. thirty of ago ; and ere many months were over, all his brave followers had shared his unhappy but inevitable fate. It only remains for us therefore, as a nation, to close up the melancholy history, by doing due honour to the memory of those who have thus nobly fallen in their country's service. This may be done at home, and must be done, if the nation i s to testify, according to its wont, its just appre ciation of those who have hereby suffered in her interest. But, as well as this, it will be
