their condition as to remove the local causes of
!THIS DAYPS NEWS
• atmospheric impurity, which appear to favour the
development of cholera in a pestilential form. NEWMARKET RACES.
Such are the conclusions of this gentleman, from (THIS DAY.)
his experience on the above occasions—the escape
of the borcugh in 1853 confirming them. The
non-contagious or little contagious character cf
the disease would, if established, be a vast relief.
The poor patient, were it generally believed,
would not have, in many instances, to contend
with the pangs of wounded feeling on desertion,
as well as the writhings of pestilence. The sup-
posed relative action of a choleraic atmosphere—
decomposed organic matter, overcrowding and
ventilation—if correct, rather diminishes the
received causes of apprehension than increases
them, tending to show that the pestilence origi-
nates in the most readily removable nuisances,
however much want of ventilation and overcrowd-
ing may increase its force and promote its spread.
The paper is well worth a perusal, the facts being
given with nauch brevity and precision, which,
with the utter absence of all traces of the alarmist,
and of an unfair pressure of deduction, leads the
reader to place more than usual confidence in the
author.

CITY, Two o'Cnoc
The Liverpool cotton market yesterday closed
heavily, and prices of the current kinds of Ameri-
can, more particularly those under 6d. per lb.,
were id. per lb. in the buyer's favour. All other
kinds were without a quotable change. The sales
were 7,000 bales-1,000 for export, and 500 on
speculation, comprising 130 Pernam and Maran-
hare, at 6id. to 60. ; 150 Bahia, 62d. ; 200 Eop_
tian, 54d. to 7d. ; and 2,000 Surat, 34d. to Cid.
The Railway Share Market opened quietly, but
subsequently improved, closing firm.
There is a paucity of arrivals from the colonies
or elsewhere, and the supplies of the principal ar-
ticles of consumption are moderate. Holders are
necessarily more disposed to sell than they were a
week or two back, and many staples are reduced
in price and will be kept much under the range
which was then considered probable, looking at
the small supplies.
The advices from the Continent do not notice
any important change in the money markets, but
the action of the Bank of England was everywhere
watched with attention, and many of the magnifi-
cent projects, hatched upon the supposition that
capital could be had for the mere asking, had been
deferred, or perhaps, as the issue may show, alto-
gether abandoned. Even the loans of some of the
petty governments, ostensibly for public works,
will have to await better times. From Paris the
letters are written iu a more confident tone, and
although the advance in the Bank rates may have
some effect upon the Bourse, the assertion that the
Credit Mobilier has set its house in order, and will
act in accordance with the views of the Govern-
ment and the Bank of France, is calculated to in-
spire hopes of a more discreet policy in future.
Yesterday, it was alleged that the Credit Mobilier
was selling Turkish Bonds here, and it is a consola- s"!
tion to know that our market offers no temptation 3
to dispose of anything else quoted at Paris. 20
In our remarks yesterday respecting the state of Bt'
the Money Market, we gave our opinion that the 2St
wisest course, under existing circumstances, that 10
could be taken by the Bank of England, seeing how 124
it is trammelled by the existing currency laws, 14t'
would be forthwith to advance its discount charge to
to 5 per cent., and that such a step would be more
likely to strengthen than impair public con- s-t.
fidence. At the commencement of business, 25
this morning, when suspense was felt more E
painfully than ever, all securities ruled ex- St.
ceedingly heavy, and there was a further
.250
decline in them nominally, without much disposi- 100
tion to do business. At a comparatively early IT
hour, however, it was made known at the Bank
that the discount rate had been advanced to 5
per cent., and immediately the result we 5.3 t o
had expected ensued, a rally occurring in the
it,
Funds ; and a more cheerful feeling prevailing 16
16
out of doors yesterday afternoon the bil 8
brokers lent money upon nod paper without 8
naming the rate, preferring to wait until this day— 23t,
another instance of the injurious effect of uncer-
2t
tainty. It is upon our business relations, however, s3(l
that we chiefly expect a satisfactory influence to be
5(
exercised by this proceeding of the Bank, and when 1!
we consider that our millions of exports are the "
main support of the industrious artisans, and &I
in that way contribute to the revenue, we
shall understand how prejudicial it is to have t
merchants deferring their purchases in the Man-
chester
and Yorkshire markets because they ima-
gine, by waiting another week, they can buy still
lower. The difficulty being now increased as re-
gards exporting bullion at a profit, the shipments
will be entirely confined to what is imperative ;
and under this head• we class a very moderate
amount of monthly payments for corn, the dimi-
nished expenses of the war in the East, and the
instalments upon the Turkish Loan. At present
the demand for gold is less active, and it is even
stated in some quarters to have almost subsided.
The English Stock Market has been very fluc-
tuating again and further depressed, although at
present looking more buoyant. Consols have been
down to 881 to for transfer, and since up to 88i
Taking off about per cent, for the accruing
dividend, the price now is certainly more assimi-
lated to the current value of money, and may pro-
bably be less subject to fluctuation. The discount
upon Exchequer Bills has been ls. to 55., and
East India Bonds have been at par.
Foreign Bonds have not been much dealt in, and
great agitation has again prevailed iu Turkish. The
6 per Cents. opened at 842 for account, fell to 811,
and have since rallied again to 84. The New Scrip has
been down to 24, and up again to 1 dis. Spanish
Deferred Bonds have been 19k 1, Mexican Bonds
have been dull at 212, and Peruvian at 76. Vene-
zuela Bonds have been marked 24. French Scrip
is at 1 prem. Dutch 2i. per Cents. are 644.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 62 to 7f ; Mexi-
can, 211 to 214 ; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., 75 to 77 ; ditto Three per Cents., 57 to 59 ;
Portuguese Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian
Five per Cents., 97 to 99 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half
per Cents., 85 to 88 ; Spanish New Deferred,
19. f t 011.94 ; ditto Three per Cents., 374 to 38 ;
ditto Certificates, 4i to 41 ; ditto Passive, 4g- to 41.

In Railway Shares there has been a decline, but
the changes in price are frequent, and there is 2020
rather less confidence on the part of Bear specula- 20
tors on Great Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire. 2033
French shares have been more offered, and in the
10
other foreign lines not much is doing.
The Joint Stock Bank shares are rather lower, 20
and Canada Land have been very quiet.

THE BANKRUPTCY OF C. J. MARE cC CO.

A petition in bankruptcy has been adjudicated against
Mr. C. J. Mare, representing the firm of Messrs. C. J.
Mare and Co., of Blackwall. The step was adopted in
consequence of an execution having been put upon the
premises at Blackwall for 9,0001., which the creditor re-
fused to withdraw. If the sale had taken place it would
have been at an enormous sacrifice, and the establish-
ment, employing several thousand artisans, would have
been stopped. Mr. Commissioner Holroyd has now
sanctioned the continuance of the works, and the Com-
mercial Bank have placed 10,0001. to the credit of the
official assignee to enable him to pay wages and other
necessary charges. The choice of assignees is fixed for
Friday, the 12th of October.

The quarterly court of the E
held yesterda ast India House was
y. The proceedings, which were devoid
of interest, only occapied about seven minutes.
According to the Piedmontese Gazette of the 22d, the
King was improving in health.
The Ilon, Major Curzon, on arriving at Balmoral,
with the despatches from General Simpson, received an
invitation from the Queen to remain there a few days.
