e principally regulated by the value of the fifth quarter; yet, in view of the times, we propose twenty-five cents gross as the maximum price for our purchases of beef cattle in this market, and obligate ourselves to retail the same from our stalls at from 40 to 60 cents net, which will barely refund to us the first cots."

A Washington telegram of the 25th says that Sheridan has pursued Early one hundred miles from Harper's Ferry, and "has advanced so far from his base of operations that communication is hazardous." An order has been issued expelling from Norfolk all persons over sixteen years of age who do not take the oath by the 15th of October next. The following are the latest gold quotation: On Saturday the excitement was intensified, and the market was in a state of panic all day.

An immediate rally took place, and the price at half-past 3 had reached 206½; but shortly before five o'clock it had dropped again to 202½@263. Later in the evening, at the up-town exchange, it sold as low as 199½ and

The London Army and Navy Gazette thinks that, as things now look, and without some other combinations, Richmond is pretty safe, and that in the meantime the agitators and unrestrained declamators of the different opposition parties connected with the forthcoming election prove a most valuable auxiliary to the exhausted Confederacy. Robert M'Tear, who dates has communication at St. Mary's Hall. Glasgow, October 15, writes to the Glasgow Herald about a visit he has just made to Garibaldi, whom he says he found in perfect health, and having recovered from his wound except a slight stiffness in the ankle. Mr. M'Tear writes: He expressed great regret at the continuance of the struggle in America, and said he did not believe that the North desired the extinction of slavery, or that the war was carried on for that end. It is a war for power and to satisfy wounded pride on their part, and has become

But this transfer left McCausland by himself, who was attacked by the enemy, and his command stampeded, losing two guns. This attack was made by Powell--General Custar being opposed to our left — Meritt, probably, in the centre. We captured the book of the medical director of Torbert's cavalry, and it showed that, on the 3d of September, their in camp numbered eleven thousand two hundred and eighteen men, and on the 15th of October they numbered seven thousand two hundred and fifty. "Our wounded left in Strasburg after the battle on the 19th ultimo say that the enemy put their losses at between eight thousand and nine thousand on that occasion, and bragged very little over the result."

Brazilian Affairs. News to the 9th ultimo from Rio Janeiro, received per steamship Cuba, indicate that the Florida affair will be amicably settled with the Brazilian Government.
