AMMUNITION FOR CHINA

An order for 2,00000 16s. of ball cartridges, packed
in 2,100 bees, has been executed at Woolwich within
three days, including the stowing on shipboard. Theie
stores are to be sent to China by overland. A second
order for the same destination, to a much larger extent,
is in course of execution, to be despatched by sea.

period to her existence. There is a decided
mania, says the Herald, for -committing suicides
just now, prevailing. J.. H. Kearney poisoned
himself on Sunday at French's Hotel. Henry F.
Wood put an end to his life by taking laudanum
on Sunday, at No. 152, East Twenty-fourth-
street. Edward Cassenbrock, keeper of a dance-
house, at No. 81, "James-street, committed suicide
early on Sunday morning by shooting himself
with a heavily loaded pistol.
About one o'clock on Tuesday morning, the
13th, a bloody affray occurred in Jackson-square,
at the junction of Eighth and Greenwich avenues,
between a large party of Irish labourers and
others. During the tnelA,e deadly weapons were
freely used, and several of the combatants were
badly wounded. The riot and bloodshed were
caused by some difference of opinion on the subject

of religi-on.
By way of Utah we receive an account of
another massacre of emigrants by the Indians.
The occurrence took place on the 24th of July, on
Raft River, Oregon, the attacking party being a
band of the Shoshones. Six men and one woman
were killed, and six men and one woman were
wounded. The waggons of the emigrants were
then robbed of $1,700, and their stock was driven
off. . _

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.
NEW Yotpc, Sept. 13,

The general features of the money market are inac-
tion and uncertainty. Capitalists want to invest all their
funds in A 1 paper, and are willing to take low rates
for their advances on the secrity, of such paper. The
banks are discounting freely to their customers, and find
full employment at 7 per cent. for all their funds.
Money at call is difficult to plate in large amounts, at
better than from sto 5-1 per cent. The chief lenders on
call are the foreign banking firms, who are keeping
their receipts from the sale of sixty-day bills of exchange
to use in the market in this way. The foreign exchange
market is very firm at 110 to 1101 for sixty-day sterling
bills, chiefly 1101. Duncan, Sherman and Co. sold
£200,000 at 110 to 1101, but no other drawer sold belOw
1108 some at 110 3-16, and other's at 1101. Good
commercial bills are scarce, and sell at 109 to 1091

COTTON

(From Messrs. 117: P. Wright and Co.'s Circular.)

Since our circular of 6th instant, the news per Europa
to 27th August, and per Ocean Queen, via Cape Race,
to Ist September, has been received. The week's sales
of Cotton in Liverpool ending 26th August amounted
to 40,000 bales; prices closing at 6 13-16 d. per lb. for
middling Uplands, bid. for Mobiles, and 7d. for New
Orleans. During the next four days the sales were
31,000 bales, at an advance of 1-16 d., but holders at
the close offered freely. From the manufacturing dis-
tricts the advices were good.
Inactivity has been the characteristic of our market
during the past week, the total sales from the 6th
instant being estimated at 4,500 bales. Holders do not
press their Cotton for sale, and former quotations are
retained ; here and there, however, a lot is sold at a
trifle less. In New Orleans on Saturday, 10th instant,
the closing quotation for middling was 1 lie. per lb.,
and in Mobile 101 c., a decline on the week of lc. per
lb. Freight to Liverpool was 9-16 d. in the former and
?-,d. per lb. in the latter. A good number of ships have
been chartered and are on the way to these ports, and
these rates of freight will probably be of very temporary
duration. The quality of the receipts, at the latest
iat-- 1v;

I ,es advised by fetter, was improving. The clearances
for the week have been—to Liverpool, 4,157 bales ;
