CABINET COUNCIL THIS DAY).--The Ministers
again assembled in Council, this afternoon, at the
Foreign-office, at two o'clock, the summonses having
been issued last evening. There were present—The
Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord John Russell, the Lord
Chancellor, Earl Grey, the Earl of Carlisle, Lord
Campbell, Sir George Grey, Viscount Palmerston,
Sir Francis T. Baring, and the Right Hon. H.
Labouchere. All the Cabinet Ministers, we under-
stand, are expected to remain in town until after A
courier has arrived from our Ambassador at the Court
of the Sultan, Sir Stratford Canning.
SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING.—The advices
from New York, per Washington, although only one
day later added, to the rather encouraging reports from
Liverpool, caused quite a stir in the Havre cotton
market yesterday, sales amounting to 3,345 bales, and
at an advance in price of If. 50e. to 21. Last evening
the following ships arrived at Havre:—The Olivter,
from New York; Augusta, frora Carmen; the Jules and
the Branjeu, from Para; and the Grand Frederick, from
St. Petersburgh. The sailings were the Admiral, the
Robert Parker, and the Samuel Hicks, for Now York;
the William, for Now Orleans; the Caroline, for Port-
au-Prince ; and the El.za for Carthagena.
DETERMINED SUICIDE.—This morning at a quarter
before eight o'clock, a most determined act of aelf-de-
struction was committed by Mr. Kaye, linen-draper, of
No. 55, Tottenham-court road, who precipitated himself
from the second floor window into the street. The
deceased, it appears, had lately been in very embar-
rassed circumstances, and it was considered necessary
for his friends to keep a close watch over his actions, but
this morning, durieg the temporary absence of the party
attending upon him, be took advantage of the oppor u
nity, and without even waiting to raise the sash of the
window, he jumped through the frame into the street.
The unfortunate man was immediately picked up sv.d
conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital, where it was found
that life was extinct, and the body lies there to await
the coroner's inquest. The deceased was 50 years of
age, and has left a wife and nine children to deplere his
untimely end.

We regret to have to announce the death, from
congestion of the brain supervening on cholera, of Mr.
Edward Raleigh Moran, for more than eighteen years
sub-editor of the Globe new paper, who expired at his
residence on Saturday last, after a fortnight's illness.
He was a man of considerable accomplishments, and, in
his ow❑ department, almost unrivalled is quickness of
perception and fertility of resources. The suavity of
his manners and his genuine goodness of heart will
cause his loss to be sincerely regretted by a large circle
of 14erary 4nd.other friends.
