THE COTTON TRADE.

The sales of cotton for the week, as made up on Thursday
evening, amount to 62,550 bales, of which speculators have
taken 28,250, exporters b,870, and spinners 28,400 bales.
These sales are swelled by the operations during Friday and
Saturday of last week, which, as recorded in the Albion of
Monday, reached 40,000 bales, leaving only 22,550 as the
transactions of the four subsequent days, the height to
which prices have advanced rendering purchasers much more
cautious, and checking that eagerness to operate so appa-
rent for some time past. The effect upon prices has been
to reduce Americans id. per pound on qualities below good
middling, the better descriptions being held with great
firmness, while Surats, Brazils, and Egyptians maintain
their previous rates. It was not to be expected, whatever
the peculiarity and strength of the influences bearing upon
us favourable to an advance in the value of cotton, that
heavy purchases on the part of speculators, such as we
have latterly seen, could continue, week after week, with-
out cessation, or that the increasing value of cotton could
go on unchecked ; and the position this market is in this
week arises from the pause in the operations of all classes
of buyers, neither speculators, exporters, nor spinners,
force.
Whenever any disposition to enter the market in
Whenever this feeling changes, as it soon may, a further
advance in prices is expected instantly to take place, for
none of the influences affecting the market are changed,
and opinion gains ground that the war will last longer
than expected. How far such views are correct, the result
will show ; in the meantime they act with full weight, for
holders would not, even now, meet an increased demand
without putting up prices ; it is the insignificance of the
transactions that causes their weakness. Tho pause in
this market has given a check to the operations of buyers
in Manchester, who previously seemed, in some degree, to
view the advance in prices hero as a natural effect of dimi•
nished supplies, and were beginning to act upon it, but
our sudden pause has caused a complete :collapse in that
market, and the transactions this week have been on a very
limited scale. The advices from Calcutta and Bombay, re-
ceived this week, per telegraph from Malta, are again of a
favourable character, more especially from the former, the
largest market in the East, where the purchases of shirt-
ings are stated to be extensive at advancing prices, with
yarns also higher. At Bombay imports are reported
active at better prices. On Monday 2,500 bales were sold,
including 500 on speculation and for export ; and 2,500 to-
day, of which 1,500 are on speculation and for export.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING'.

moted :—Moral force, the pressure of public opinion

as represented by sovereigns and people, by

governments, national assemblies, meetings, and
the press; the uncompromising condemnation
of the .infringer of public law, and of every wrong-
doer ; the no less positive acknowledgment of the
right and the wronged, and the cheering encourage-
ment to the latter to persevere in their passive re-
sistance and faith in the ultimate triumph of jus-
tice. S ach, to the best of my judgment, are the
means by which Poland may and must, under GOD,
and in Ills own good time, retrieve her national

NEW YORK, OCT. 25,
(Per North American, via Londonderry.)

At the battle which was fought near Leesburg,
on the 21st instant, between the advance column of
the Federal troops under General Stone and a body
of Confederates under General Evans, the former
were eventually compelled to abandon the field
and fall back across the Potomac, with the loss of
600 men, including General Baker, killed. The
Confederate loss was unknown. The Federal
troops were subsequently reinforced, and marched
upon Leesburg, but on the approach of two strong
columns of Confederates again retreated into Mary-
land.

Some alarm is felt at Washington with regard to
the supplies of forage, &c., which were formerly
brought up the Potomac.
The Pacific telegraph line to San Francisco was
completed on the 25th inst.

3 I SALE OF THE EAST INDIA HOUSE.—Yesterday

LYCEUM THEATRE.

To-morrow (Thursday) evening 3lr. Falconer, the lessee,
takes his benefit, on which occasion his new and highly
successful comedy, " Woman," will be repeated for the
sixty-seventh time. In addition to the usual entertain-
ments that have for months been attracting crowded and
fashionable audiences, Mr. Falconer will recite " a new and
original ballad poem, suggested by a visit to Stratford..
upon-Avon, and all about Anne Hathaway." The play-
going public will, we feel certain, only be too anxious to
show to Mr. Falconer how highly they appreciate his talent
as manager, author, and actor, by attending his benefit, and
thereby give him substantial proof that he has not laboured
for their amusement unnoticed or unregarded. A more
spirited and enterprising man has not had the Lyceum
under his management for years, and we cordially wish
him continued success.

Government had effected this, and the argument on
which it was based and explained was unanswer-
able. If the undertaking was successful the Go-
vernment would get back their advances; if unsuc-
cessful, they would know that every exertion had
been made to secure success, and that ai er the re-
payment of their outlay to the shareholders the
balance from the sale of the property would go to
the Government. The capital of the new company
was moderate, £100,000; with one half called up
it would be sufficient to restore the communication
between Aden and Kurrachee, and thus to bring
India within five days of England. The shares
were of £2 each. The Limited Liability Act
defined and limited individual responsibility of the
shareholders. The prospects of success were con-
sidered satisfactory by the highest authorities, and
the result of success would be to impart a high value
to the shares; the result of failure would be to
recover the money laid out from the sale of the
property of the old company, now made over abso-
lutely to the new company. It was a one-sided
speculation with great contingent advantages, and
without risk of losing the capital under any cir-
' cumstances. Two-thirds of the capital required by
the Government to be at once raised having been
subscribed during the first few days, it was unne-
cessary to keep open the lists until the decision of
the old shareholders was known. Now that it was
known no time should be lost in completing the
capital, so as to have the shares allotted in the
course of the week. He hoped they would all
assist the undertaking to the utmost of their power.
He and his colleagues and the officers of the com-
pany had well supported the measure. The Govern-
ment had met the question in a fair, liberal, and
comprehensive spirit, and the shareholders in the
old company having most judiciously accepted the
Government proposal as regarded their annuity,
had only to give effect to their views by extending
their cordial and hearty support to the new com-
pany.

Mr. DENT explained that those who wished to
take the remaining shares in the new company
should apply immediately, and they would get
them.
The meeting then separated.

CORN EXCHANGE.

A limited supply of English wheat was received fresh
up to this morning's market, and tho trade ruled firm, at
Monday's advance in the quotations.
In foreign wheat a fair business was transacted, and the
currencies were well maintained. The imports this week
have been very moderate.

There was no activity in the demand for floating cargoes,
nevertheless prices ruled firm.

Malting barley moved off slowly, at barely late rates.
Other kinds, however, were firm in value.
In malt the trade was in a sluggish state, yet no altera-
tion took place in prices.

Good and fine oats sold steadily, at full quotations ; but
other kinds were a dull inquiry.

Beans and peas being in limited supply, changed hands
at extreme rates.

The flour trade was steady, at very full prices.

Translated from the German of Dr. PIUKFORD.

" Dr.rickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing* malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhoea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

FINN VALLEY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held at Strabane on Thursday; Lord Lifford in the
chair.

The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that
since the last meeting the contractors had been
put in possession of land, and were at work at the
Stranorlar end of the line. In the cases in which
the directors could not effect the purchase of the
requisite land by amicable settlement the Govern.
went arbitrator had made his valuation, and had
fixed Dec. 6 and 7 for hearing objections to it. The
directors would be able to deliver to the contrac-
tors all the lands required for the line without
delay to the progress of the works. The directors
had entered into a contract with the directors of
the Dundalk and Londonderry line to work the
railway for 10 years after its completion for 35 per
cent. of the traffic receipts; the Dundalk Company
were to provide rolling stock and to pay all working
charges. The capital account showed that £34,773
had been received, and £9,727 expended, leaving
a balance of £5,046.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the shareholders on the pro-
spect of completing the line and works within the
estimate by the end of July next.
Nr. MACKY seconded the motion.
Mr. BOWER, the engineer, said that he had esti-
mated that the probable return on the outlay would
not be less than 41 per cent., and that 8 per cent.
might be realised under the working arrangement.
The report was unanimously adopted, and a vote
of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceed-
ings.

DRURI-LANE THEATRE.

Last night Miss Avonia Jones, from Australia, made her
first appearance on the London stage, and met with a
success that gives brilliant promise for the future. The
part selected was that of Medea, and from her first appear..
ante to the termination of the tragedy she fairly rivetted
the attention of the audience by the great talents she dis-
played. Nature has endowed Miss Jones most bountifully
with personal attractions. Her voice is of deep and touch-
ing sweetness, and her action is chaste and classical. Frcm
first to last the applause was of the most genuine descrip-
tion, and at the fall of the curtain there appeared to be a
general congratulation on the success attained by the new
actress. She was led forward by Mr. Smith at the
conclusion of the tragedy, and received quite an ovation.
A more promising debut has not taken place for years.

The London, Malta and Alexandria Telegraph
(via Tripoli and Bengazi) being now in successful opera-
tion, tho rates at which messages are to be transmitted
have been published. For a message of 20 words from
London to Alexandria the charge will be £2 6s. 9d. The
communication between Malta and Alexandria does not
occupy more than five minutes. Should the English clerks
who are being placed at the principal Italian telegraph
offices, under a convention signed by the Italian Govern-
ment, experience no impediment in the prosecution of their
labours, it is believed that the period required for sending
a despatch through from London to Alexandria will not
exceed five or six hours.

LORD PALMERSTON AND 711 E CINQUE PORTS
VOLUArTEERS.

Lord Palmerston has written to Major Harcourt,
as senior officer of the Cinque Ports Volunteers, to
the following effect :
" I should very much like to see the several volun •
teer corps of the Cinque Ports during my stay at
Walmer, but I should be desirous of doing so in
the manner most convenient to them; and as it
might put them to some inconvenience to assemble
together at any one place, I should be equally gra-
tified by being allowed to inspect each corps succes-
sively at its own headquarters, which, by previous
arrangement, I could easily do.
" Perhaps you will have the goodness to let me
know, by a letter directed to Walmer Castle, what
arrangement will be the most convenient to the
several corps."

COMFENSATIONS.—The finance accounts for
1859-60 showed that £130,000 had been paid in that year
as compensations to the officers of the late Ecclesiastical
and Prerogative Courts; but in the year 1860-61 the pay-
ment was only £120,000. 'Mewl accounts aro made up to
the 31st of March, but not laid before Parliament until
June, and in the series of last June the estimate of the
charge for the current year is further reduced to £116,000.
THE MURDER AT EVERLEIGIL—The prisoner
John Stocker was on Wednesday evening remanded to
Marlborough police-station to appear before the magistrates
sitting there today (Sgturday), when.c3 it is probable that
he will be again remanded till next Friday, the 30th im.t ,
then to be examined before the bench assembled in Petty
Sessions at the Crown Inn, Everleigh. The decased, Ann
Hill, was buried by order of the coroner, at 6 p.m, on Wed-
nesday, Mr. C. J. Monk, Mrs. "'think; and the servants of
their establishment attending the funeral. One of the
medical witnesses positively swore that a dog-whip found
in Stocker's possession was the instrument with which the
strangulation WAS effected,
