The gun-boat Viper arrived at Lisbon on the
3d in three days and a-half, and sailed on the sth
for the Black Sea.

In Monte Video freight was fair, and the coming
season was expected to be a good one.
At the River Plate the market for imports was
dull.

A report was current at Buenos Ayres that the
outside party was arming under General llornosin,
in consequence of a decree of the Government that
all unmarked cattle would be claimed by it. Ex-

The Bahiana hence was spoken by the Braziliera
on the 3d inst., in lat. 34, long. 18.

STRAND THEATRE.—The talented directress of this
pretty little theatre took her benefit last evening, and
we were glad to see that the efforts she has made to
provide entertainment were rewarded by a densely
crowded house. Miss Isaacs never sung or acted better
than she did last night, and the public owe something
to Mr. Allcroft for having so prominently brought be-
fore' them so accomplished an artiste. Mr. G. Honey

Windsor was also played, and excited, as it has nightly
done since it was first produced, shouts of laughter.
The benefit of Mr. Davis, the treasurer to the establish-
meht, is fixed for to-morrow evening, on which occa-
sion Miss R. Isaacs will appear in one of her most po-
pular parts ; and Miss Marshal, so long a favourite here,
will also appear as Polly Crisp, in addition to numeroue
other attractions.
EMIGRATION.—The Waterford Chronicle states that
nearly 250 persons left that port last week, bound for
the United States.
APSLET HOUSE.—We are informed that it is the in-
tention of Itzs Grace th 4 Dike of Wellington to re•ope:t
to tho during the winter mouths, the ruarnion
his late noble father. A variety of improvements have
taken place, and a very large sum of money has been ex-
pended to render the objects worthy of remark, and more
visible than they formerly were--Musical Tranicript.

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.

The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday closed
heavily, but without alteration in prices. Sales
about 6,000 bales., of which 500 were taken for ex-
port, and 500 bales on speculation. Pernam and
Maranham sold at sid. to 6N., and Surat at 2id.
per lb. Railway Shares were quiet, but firm.
The following report upon the Indigo auctions
just commenced is furnished by Messrs. H. W.
Jewesbury and Co. :

"The quarterly sales of indigo commence this day,
consisting of 13,025 chests (including 5,380 chests of old
goods bought in at, or withdrawn from, former sales,
and 1,016 chests in second hands), comprising the fol-
lowing, viz.:—Catalogue A-8,460 chests Bengal, Oude,
&c., 1,414 chests Madras, 1,327 chests Kurpab, 45
chests Bimlapatam, 86 chests S dem, 10 chests Calcutta
fig, 110 chests Pondecherry, 6 chests Java, 3 chests
Carracca, 5 chests manufactured like refined, 329 chests
withdrawn, 214 lots warehouse sweepings. Catalogue
B-1,016 chests various, in second hands. Total-
-13,025 chests. The qualities of Bengal are about one-
third good and fine, and two-thirds middling and ordi-
nary ; the Madras one-fifth good and fine, four-fifths
middling and ordinary ; the Kurpah one-fourth
good and fine and three-fourths middling and ordinary ;
the Bimlapatam, ordinary and very ordinary ; the Salem,
middling to good, with a few ordinary ; the Oude, cne-
third good and fine and two-thirds middling and ordi-
nary ; the few chests Java, fine. Previous to the com-
mencement of the sale several parcels were withdrawn,
including the first 41 chests. The sale then opened
with a parcel of middling and ordinary Madras, which,
however, was mostly withdrawn, only here and there a
single lot selling. After this followed some middling
and ordinary Bengal, which sold at an advance of 10d.
to ls. per lb. on last sale's rates. The high advance thus
established shows the firmness of importers, but has caused
the sale to go flatly, though firmly. The trade appears
to be not yet prepared to pay this advance, and have
therefore bought cautiously. Bengal is 10d to is per lb.
higher, Madras 3d to 6d higher, and Kurpah 6d to 8d
higher. The attendance of buyers was moderate. 1333
chests have passed to-day, of wbich 602 chests were with-
drawn. 300 chests bought in, leaving 431 chests sold.
The following are the highest and lowest prices :-
444 chts. Bengal, Oude, &c., from 2s 5d to 7s 5d per lb.
149 Madras is 4d to 3s 10d
138 Kurpah 2s Od to 4s 7d
002 Withdrawn.

1333 16 extra lots warehouse
sweepings
The arrivals of ships in the Thames from abroad
yesterday were 12, and 90 colliers came in.
Information has been received that the steamer
Queen of the South had arrived at the Cape de
Verd Islands, Sept. 23.
' The ship Pelham, which left Sydney May 28,
brings 2,684 ounces of gold.
The steamer Pacific, with New York accounts of
Sept. 30, describes the stock market as being bet-
ter and money easier. One of the latest reports
Mates :
"The Abingdon Bank has declared a semi-annual
dividend of $4 per share, payable on Monday next. The
Quincy Stone Bank pays a semi-annual dividend of 4i
per cent. October 5. The Springfield banks have de-
clared the following dividends, payable October 2 :
Springfield 4 per cent., Chicopee 5, Agawam 4, Western
4, John Hancock (for three months only) 2, Pynchon 6.
The John Hancock paid a dividend of 3 per cent. in
July, when its capital stock was enlarged. The others
are semi-annual dividends, save the Pynchon, which is
for ten months, or since it began operations ; and in
addition, this bank returns a net surplus of profits of 5
per cent. on its capital. Railroad Bank, Lowell, 4
per cent.
" Reading was the firmest railroad stock on the list
to-day, and the transactions were very large. Within
the past few days the stock market has wonderfully ha-
proved in tone. The movements now are more regular,
and the operations on time, seller's and buyer's option,
do not exhibit those extremes we have so recently re-
corded. An eighth or a quarter per cent. is now about
the difference between cask sales and those on sixty
days, buyer's or seller's option. This shows the abund-
ance and cheapness of money in Wall-street on such se-
curities, and is rather an encouraging feature."
There was no change of moment in the rates at
which bills of exchange were yesterday afternoon
quoted on the principal cities of the Continent.
Paris, 90 days, was at 25 35 to 40 ; Amsterdam,
at 1118 to 18i ; Hamburgb, at 13 7 to 7i ; Trieste,
at 11 48 to 50 ; and Frankfort, at 119.
There is no demand for silver at present.
The English Stock Market has been more ani-
mated, and the resumption of business in many of
the securities for which the transfer books have
been closed has occasioned a greater amount of
money dealing. Consols have realised 95i tog for
transfer, and 95 g g for account. The New 3 per
Cents. have been 941 to it ex dividend, and the
3 per Cent. Annuities 93 to 941. The Long
Annuities have been 4a to 4 15-16. Exchequer
Bills have been 4s. to 7s. premium.
Foreign stocks are also rather livelier. Spanish
3 per Cents, bring 37k, the Deferred 188, and the
Passive 4i. The Committee's Certificate has been
at 5 to 1 prem. The Turkish Scrip has been 3
to 31 prem. Venezuela Bonds have been 101.
Mexican Stock is 24i to 25, and Brazilian 98. E to
99. Dutch Bonds are nominal.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 51 to 6± ;
Mexican, 24 - to 25 ; Peruvian, 71 to 73 ; ditto 3
Cents., 51 to 53 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 40 to
42 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 95 to 97 ; ditto 41 per
Cents., 84 to 86 ; Spanish New Deferred, 18g to
18 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 37/ to 38 ; ditto Certifi-
cates, stosi ; ditto Passive, 4 to 4g-.
There is very little doing in Railway Shares, but
most lines are at a slight advance. The French
Shares also tend upwards, and the Paris and Lyons
are about 1/. higher.
In Mining, Banking, and the Miscellaneous
Shares the dealings are trifling. Crystal Palace
keep steady.
