NEW YORK, OCT. 2, Morning.

The excitement on the Stock Exchange yester-
day increased without the influence of either mili-
tary or political news. The market was very active,
and closed buoyant at an advance of 1/ to 2 per
cent.

Advices from New Orleans report that a large
number of people have taken the oath of allegiance
to avoid the penalties of the Confiscation Act, which
General Butler is rigidly going to enforce.
The operations of the civil law have been resumed
in New Orleans. The sheriff had opened six dis-
trict courts. The country below New Orleans is
much troubled by Confederate marauding parties,
and a provost-marshal has been appointed for both
sides of the river.

Twenty guerillas have surrendered themselves.
The gunboat Iroquois has been sent to the
mouth of Rio Grand...

The British prize steamers Circassian, Memphis,
Bermuda, Stettin, and Columbia are being fitted
out as Federal cruisers.

Mr. Simon Draper, of New York, has been ap-
pointed provost-master-general of the United States,

The steamer Victoria, from Sabine Pass, and the
steamer Cuba, from Mobile, have arrived at Havana
with combined cargoes of 1,300 bales of cotton.
The Confederate Congress has passed a new Con-
scription Act, to include all able-bodied men be-
tween the ages of 35 and 45.
Southern reports state that an engagement
occurred between the Federal gun-boat Santiago de
Cuba and the Confederate steamer 290, in which
the former was riddled with shot, and forced to
retreat. The report, however, is not entirely
credited.
The New York, Herald asserts that Mr. Eli
Thayer is appointed military governor of Florida,
to carry out the scheme of introducing into the
Southern States a loyal labouring population.
The Government will equip from 10,000 to 20,000
six months' volunteers, and station them in the
States to be thus influenced. Each volunteer will
receive a homestead of public lands, and free trans-
portation for his family to the principal port of the
State where they are located.

It is intended by this means to infuse into the
Southern States an industrious and loyal popula-
tion, in order to protect the Union men.
_

It is supposed that the manufacturing and pro-
dugive districts of England can be made to contri-
bute to this emigration.
The Federal War Department has determined
upon the exchange of State prisoners with the rebel
Government. _ _

Heavy Federal reinforcements are being sent to
Hilton Head and along the shores of the Broad

River.

It is supposed this is preparatory to an attack

upon Charleston.
The steamer Vanderbilt is being converted into
a man-of-war to carry 12 guns of heavy calibre.
She, it is believed, will be the fastest vessel in the
Federal service.

The Confederate Congress have authorised the
issue of 5,000,000 dols, in copper coin, of denomi-
nations of 5, 10, and 25 cents.
A letter from Louisiana is published in the Pro
vidence Journal, stating that the Confederate Go
vernment intends to emancipate and arm at least
400,000 negroes, and use them against the Federal
Government, with the determination to rule or
ruin.

The New Fork Times thinks that General M'Clel-
lan's report represents a tearful picture of life
wasted in South Mountain and Antietam battles,
and thinks the price paid was worth the capture
or annihilation of the rebel army, and asks what
officer, or what difficulties of country, or what
combination of circumstances is to be held respon-
sible for this worst of bargains.
The Albany Argus states that General M'Clellan
has issued full reports of the battles in which he
has been engaged, but that they have been sup-
pressed by the War Department.
The Federal Post-office Department has issued a
notice that any letter mailed with the stamps at all
soiled or defaced will be treated as unpaid. The
New York press generally strongly condemns the
course of the Government in thus repudiating its
own stamps. The New York Times says they have
now no intrinsic value. They arenot a legal tender,
nobody will redeem them, and they will not pay
the postage. The public might as well take wooden
buttons or pebble stones, for they would have as
much value.
The Mayor of New York vetoed on Sunday the
resolutions of the Board of Aldermen, declaring that
emancipation would be dangerous to the national
welfare. These resolutions were passed previous to
President Lincoln's emancipation proclamation.
The mayor in his veto strongly approves of the
proclamation, and thinks it must give the death.
blow to the rebellion. He also disapproves the
proposal of the aldermen to create a new com-
mittee formed for the committee on Union national
affairs and a number of delegates from each of the
political committees of the city. The mayor thinks
that a committee thus constituted would assume a
partizan character, acting in sympathy with the
views of that party with which the majority of its
members would be identified, and would soon be-
come a strongly political rather than a patriotic

committee.
The Governor-General of Canada and the Lieu-
tenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, accompanied by,
a large suite, have arrived at Chicago for the pur-
pose of a hunting excursion in the western prairies.

THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.--The opening of
this important line of railway will not now be delayed for
more than a few days, end but for the small requirement of
Col. Yolland, the Government inspector, it would have
been opened for traffic this day. An alteration in the shape
and size of the glass lamps of the signals has been consi-
dered necessary, and, with this exception, everything has
been approved. The permanent way, the switches and
points, the bridges and stations—all in fact that relates to
the working of the line—h6ve been found satisfactory, and
the contractors and officers of the company have been com-
plimented in the highest manner by the Government in-
spector for the admirable manner in which the works have
been executed. The brickwork of the tunnel and the re-
taining wall has been highly praised, as also the construc-
tion of the bridges, and the station accommodation. The
arrangements for working the line are completed, and the
engines and carriages are all ready. Further trials have
shown that the plan of consuming the smoke and steam by
the locomotive engines has perfectly succeeded, and after a
couple of engines had been running backwards and forwards
during the whole day, no disagreeable effect arose from any
of the products of combustion in the tunnel. It has been
decided that the trains will start from Paddington and Far-
ringdon-street every 10 minutes, from 8 in the morning till
Bin the evening. FI om 6to 8 o'clock in the morning, and
from 8 to 12 at night, the trains will run only every 20
minutes. Express trains will start every hour, running the
whole distance from Paddington to Farringdon-street in 10
minutes. With these exceptions all the trains will stop at
the intermediate stations, the time occupied in the whole
journey being 15 minutes. The lowest fare taken will be
2d., and this will be charged between any intermediate
station, and the lowest through fare will be 3d. There are
three classes of carriages, first, second, and third ; all, how-
ever, equally well lighted by the gas carried with the train.
The second-glass carriages are fitted with cushions, the
third are light, spacious, and well ventilated, and the first

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

The meeting commences to-day, but the events to be
decided are of no great importance, unless the handicap
over the Cesarewitch Course should throw some light over
the great race of to-morrow. The following table will
show, at a glance, the winners, starters, age, weight, and
value of the stakes since its foundation as a race

The present Cesarewitch will always be distinguished by
the manner in which Silkstone leaped into the premiership
soon after the acceptances were declared, and remained in
that difficult position without interference for so long a
time. And really beyond her, Umpire and Henham Lass,
scarcely anything else has been backed with spirit, or be-
yond a trifling amount. Knutsford will beat all the top
division, as he has shown us repeatedly he can stay every
yard of the way, and has won several handicaps in good
company. Umpire is a tremendous favourite from the
manner in which he finished before Wallace, Optimist,
Amy, and Bedouin, in a trial at Newmarket last week, and
Mr. Ten Broeck regards the race as ever, with the exoep-
tion of having to beat Silkstone. This he may have a right
to do, by what he has seen Umpire do, and his animals are
good enough to tell him correctly. Aurelian's best perfor•
mances have always been over a mile and a quarter. Fault-
less has been nicely put in, and as Mr. Bryan's horses are
all in form, there is just a chance of this mare running very
forward. Doefoot will, of course, be subservient to Silk-
stone, so I will pass on to Stradella, who has lately won
three good races in a manner that makes me think,
in the absence of the favourites, she would have 110
excellent chance of winning now. But it is alniost too
much to expect from her to give near two stone to Silkstone.
Millionaire, being in Mr. Bryan's string, may assist Fault-
less ; but I do not consider him to be good enough for any
other purpose. Flirtation is represented to be wonderfully
fit, and her trainer is confident of at least getting a place
with her. Feu de Joie's weight seems at first sight to be
' too much for her ; but when it is recollected how she beat
the two Oaks mares, Hurricane and Irnperatrice, in a can-
ter at Epsom, and also defeated Zetland for the York CUP,
it could hardly have been less. On the heath no mare get'
better; and when the rottenness of the field, with few ex-
ceptions, is taken into consideration, she must be admitted
to have a great chance, and her York exhibition at once
negatived her inability to stay. Loiterer, f‘rom being beaten
in his trial, I cannot fancy, and I can see no reason for
being fond of Wingrave. Upon Henham Lass many per-
sons put their faith, and Mr. Bevill makes no secret of his
belief that if the mare tuns to her form at home, she Will
win very easily. Of course Audrey has been the school'
mistress, but she is very uncertain, and I think, moreover,
that Henham Lass wants heart to struggle home, so I will
not stand upon her on this occasion. Anonyma would
gallop for a week, but however essential staying powers
are in the Cesarewitch, a trifle of speed is also needed
with them, and in this I fear Lord Glasgow's filly IS
greatly deficient. The Queen of Spain may run t°
further the interests of Hartington, who will carry the
stable money. Catch-'em-Alive has almost gone out of the
market, as it is discovered to be impossible for him to beat
Silkstone. Agag is by his trial the best of Mr. Naylor'e
lot, and if so he will be very formidable. At home he Cell
do wonders, but in a crowd he will never try; still, if 118
runs kindly this time, he will be sure to find his way DA°
the first flight. My Mary and Haddington have been per-
forming respectably at Kelso, and the latter even with hid
101 b. penalty is certain to take a prominent part in the We'
Of Lord Coventry's four Balder alone seems to be trusted
by his lordship, and as he lately did all they asked him
most satisfactorily he has naturally come to a very short
price, and I believe he will very nearly reward the patience/
of his noble owner, who has given his horse as well as his
trainer every fair play, as Balder has not been in public
since he ran for the Two Thousand. Corona has no chance
in such company. Boabdil has broken down, and Balhasi
is useless. Attaman ran well enough at Bedford to hrirt
him into notice here, when the difference of the weights
considered; but I have seen no move in his favour;
Bedouin ought to be behind Umpire, if the trial is correct'
Watchman has been watched for, but I think he has had
too much taken out of him to come again so soon. Si'
