MISCELLANEOUS.

It was reported in Prussia that the Orrison of
Odessa had received reinforcements. It is said to
consist of infantry from the 6th corps—that is, one
division (16 battalions) at the utmost ; the re-
serves of the 24th line (Dnieper), and the 23d light
(Ukraine) regiments, belonging to the 4th corps (4
battalions); the 28th line (Zitomer) sth corps ;
and 11th (Archduke Ferdinand) ; and 12th Lancer
regiments, 6th corps; in all about 20,000 effectives.
The Kreutz Zeitung, whose Russian connections
ought to enable it to be well informed on all Rus-
sian subjects, announces that the Emperor Nicholas
is generally expected to arrive at Warsaw imme-
diately.

Colonel Gerhardt, of the Russian engineers,
has returned to Warsaw. This officer has been
long detached for the purpose of engaging persona
to work the telegraph lines now constructing in
different parts of Russia, and also for establishing
a contract for the supply of wires to a large
amount, to be furnished by the house of Siemes, of
Westphalia.

Reports are again rife that the King of Prussia,
has resolved to assemble the First Chamber in con-
formity with the new law, and that the lists of
members to be appointed by the Crown are already
made out. It is further added that a new and
more restricted law for the election of members for
the second Chamber will be introduced, and, if
not acceded to, that the Chamber will be dissolved,
and the law octroye. This is the wish and purport
of the feudal and anti-constitutional party.
Baron von Manteuffel proceeded this day to join
and transact business with the King in
The Prime Minister will probably accompany his
Majesty back to Berlin on Tuesday or Wednesday.
The King of Prussia's visit to the scene of disc ,ster
on the Oder has produced excellent and chee ring
effects upon the suffering populations, and will be
as grateful to his Majesty's benevolent heart a s to
those whose sufferings he has witnessed, and will
endeavour to alleviate.

A Rhonan journal states that the gambling-
tables at Aix-la-Chapelle are to be closed. A sta-
tistical return, recently published in a Berlin
journal, shows the average net dividends of shatre-
holders in the Homburg tables to be 40 per cent
The house of Lebel, Roux, and Co., of Ham-
burg, which contracted to supply the French. .Bal-
tic fleet with stores, has (says the lireutz Zettvmg)
suspended payment.
Accounts from Memel, of the 27th, state that
the Archer and Conflict, which had been compel/led
to put out to sea in consequence of the violence of
the S.W. gales, had returned all well to the roads.
Aftonbtadet asserts that the fortifications of
Bomarsund are now in the possession of a Svvedlish
sailor, named Clas Berggren, who acted as an in-
terpreter to the French Commander-in-chief Mar-
shal Barguay d'Hilliers, who made him a pres ent
of the ruins in acknowledgment of his services.
He is now in treaty with some builders at Stoat:-
holm, for the purchase of the blocks of huge granite
not destroyed by the British and French artillery.
A Bucharest correspondent of the Fremden Bl att
says that certain Greek cloisters in Moldavia and
Wallachia being suspected of having supplied the
rebels in Greece with considerable sums of money,
the Sublime Porte has sent its firman to Dervish
Pacha, empowering him to sequestrate the com-
promised cloisters, and apply their revenues to
State purposes.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT CHELMSFORD.-011 Tuesday a
fatal accident occurred at the Chelmsford Board of Health
works. It seems that the men are engaged in boring an
artesian well, which has already Leen sunk more than
200 feet, and on Tuesday the foreman, named Daniel
saeulte four
p frombo a
a man of 25 years' experience in such matters, was
the second staging in the well, about 140
the surface. A monkey weighing 15 cwt. was
to drive the pipes, and this was placed between
f
bearers on a staging above the deceased. For some
particulare
purpose, not exactly known, the deceased cut
a portion of one of these bearers, which unfortunately
released the monkey from its place, and when he was in
a stooping position it fell upon him, carrying him down
on to the next stage and crushing him beneath its weight,
i both his thighs being broken, and his cheat forced in.—

MONEY. MARKET

AND
. COMMEJ.eCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.

The Baits of cotton at Liverpool yesterday
were eV:in:Abed at 10,000 bales, including 3,500
American taken for export and on speculation.
The market closed with a hardening tendency—
American 1-16 d. dearer, and other sorts well main-
te.ined, but not higher. The sales comprised 8,000
American, 100 Pernam and Maranham at sgd. to
sid., 200 Egyptian at 6d. to 10d., 1,200 Surat at
3d. to 4-id., and 100 Sea Island at is. to Is. 3d.
per lb. Railway Shares were dull.
The Board of Trade returns for the month, to
the sth inst., give the total exports at 8,783,7141.,
being an increase of 456,6281. over September,
1853, when, however, the unenumerated articles
were not included ; consequently there is no doubt
a decrease.

In the silk market during the past month, ac-
cording to the report of Mr. Henry W. Eaton, the
movement was as follows :
" In advising you that the next public sales are fixed
to commence on Tuesday, the 24th instant, it is satis-
factory to be able to report a decidedly improved feeling
in the silk market. In Chinas a considerable business
Las been done during last month, resulting in a slight
advance in good third to best silk, and an increased
firmness in other qualities. The accounts from China
received this morning fully confirm the reported short
settlements of new silk, which are stated to be under
2,000 bales against about 12,000 bales at the same period
last year. The second crop is also said to be under an
average one, and of inferior quality.
" The certainty that the imports will be thus de-
layed, and the continued large deliveries, seem to have
imparted renewed confidence among consumers both
here and abroad, and a good current trade may I think
be expected at present, or perhaps slightly improved,
rates. In Bengals there is little alteration to notice.
There has been rather more inquiry, but nothing to
establish any alteration. In Brutia silk there has been
nothing doing, but in Persians a few parcels have
changed hands from Bs. 3d. to 10s. The stock of the
former consists of about 20 bales, and of the latter 1,300
ballots. The Italian market remains quiet."
The Jamaica accounts brought by the steamer
Magdalena, which has on board 900,000 dols. in
specie, mention that the Legislature would be dis-
solved on the 3d inst. The Island notes had
reached par, owing to the expectation that they li
would be redeemed at an early date by the arrival
of coin from this country for the purpose. The
Board of Emigration has been devising plans
for the procuration of labour. From the other
islands the agricultural advices are mostly favour-
able, especially Barbadoes, which appears to be in
a very flourishing condition. The cholera in Gre-
nada appears to have swept off about one-tenth of
the entire population, but happily the malady was
on the decline. At St. Lucia, however, its
ravages were great.

The Foreign Exchanges were rather firmer again
yesterday afternoon.

The demand for gold has fallen off, and a large
amount of the recent arrivals has been sent into
the Bank of England.

The amount of specie taken out by the Penin-
sular and Oriental Steam Company's vessel Candia
to India, China, &c., to-day, was 90,466 L, of
which 61,2641. is in silver, for Madras, Singapore,
Hong Kong, Canton, and Shanghai, and 29,2021.
for Alexandria, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

The Collimate of Mexican Bondholders have re-
ceived letters dated the 2d and sth ult. from the
city of Mexico. In these there is nothing definite,
but the agent expresses a hope that he should get
another dividend. The remittance for the dividend
would have been larger but for the want of hard
dollars. The Committee memorialised Earl Cla-
rendon a short time back, and the result was the
sanding of instructions to the British Minister at
Mexico strongly to urge upon General Santa Anna
the claims of the creditors.

The Panama papers received by the Magdalena
steamer state that there was a report of General
Echenique being taken prisoner by General Cas-
tillo. This does not appear improbable, seeing
that the Lima papers mention the retreat of
Echenique after the action at Zyeuchoca, where he
was worsted. If President Echenique has been
captured, there is no doubt that the bondholders
will soon be able to get a satisfactory arrangement
of their claims from Castillo.

The English Funds have been very weak this
morning, and a pressure of money stock is still
spoken of. The comparatively high prices, and
some little disappointment that an immediate rise
did not occur upon the taking of Sebastopol, pro-
)(Ably occasioned this ; but if money gets easier
and confidence stronger, as it should do, there will
probably be an advance, admitting even that
Consols are already at an elevated point, con-
sidering the war and the present heavy expen-
diture upon us all, however, it is hoped,
to be repaid sooner or later by the enemy.
Consols have been 954 and 95i to ±,
for Transfer, while for Account they are 95i
Exchequer Bills have been ss. to Bs. premium.
`The Bonds are at par.

In the Foreign market there has been much greater
activity. Mexican Bonds, which touched at 251,
iave been done since at 24'1. The remittance for
Che dividend is 27,000 dollars. Peruvian Stock
"has been quoted 71 to 73. Brazilian Old Bonds have
lbeen done at 99 ex dividend. Portuguese 4 per
Cents. have been at 41. Spanish 3 per Cents. have
'been at 48, and the Deferred at 181. The Turkish
scrip has varied from 3/ to 3i premium. Dutch
28 per Cents. have been at 62.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 51 to 61 ;
Mexican, 241 to 251 ; Peruvian, 71 to 73 ; ditto
3 per Cents., 51 to 53 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents.,
40 to 42 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 98 to 100 ; ditto
.4-1- per Cents., 87 to 89 ; Spanish New Deferred,
18 to 181 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 374 to 38 ; ditto
C lertificates, 5 to sis ; ditto Passive, 4 to 44.
The Railway Share Market has been unsteady,
bi at prices are rather better in a few instances.
T. lie Norfolk, South Wales, Great Northern, and
L incashire and Yorkshire, have been in request.
G mat Western are flatter. The foreign lines have
• 3en quiet.

In the mines there have been a few bargains,
t] ie banks are firm, and there is more doing at full
rates in the docks, Crystal Palace, and muted's.-
..) sous shares.

WIGAN ELECTION.—The ciose of the poll yesterday,
al; four o'clock, was as follows :—Acton, 339 ;
3,0 ; majority for Acton, 5.
REPRESENTATION OF FROME.—Mr. Donald Nicoll, the
rate sheriff, and one of the Middlesex magistrates, has
issued an address, soliciting the suffrages of the electors
of this borough.
PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is
about 3 per mille discount (according to the last tariff),
which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d. per
wince for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.094 ;
amd, the exchange at Paris on London at short being
25.10, it follows that gold is about the same price
in Paris and London. By advices from Hamburg,
the price of gold is 4244 per mark, which, at the English
Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10Ad. per ounce for standard gold,
gives an exchange of 13.4 i ; and, the exchange at
Hamburg on London at short being 13.4 i, it follows
that gold is 0.06 per cent, dearer in Hamburg than in
London. The course of exchange at New York on
London for bills at 60 days' sight is 110 per cent., and,
the par of exchange between England and America be-
ing 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is
nominally 0.42 per cent. in favour,of England ; and,
after making allowance for charges of transport and
difference of interest, the present rate leaves a profit
pa the im ports ti of gold from theyaited
