Uniformity at once dis appears; some of the offspring resemble the grand sire' and others the grand - dams , and some possess the disposition and constitution of the one and some of the others; and, consequently a race of mongrels is perpetuated." The principal use of cross ing is to raise animals for the butcher, and in this respect it may be advantageously pursued further than it has been. Thus, as a male of superior breed will stamp his form, size, and muscular de velopment on the offspring, while its constitution derived from the dam adapts it to the locality and the treatment the dam has been accustomed to, the inferior flocks and herds of the country may be made to produce young stock which will prove more valuable for feeding purposes than their dams. But unless such of the young animals as are kept for breeding arc again put to male of the better breed, there will be the same breeding of mongrels as before deprecated; and except where farmers breed solely for the butcher, they had better avoid crossing alto gether. So far we have walked in this department of hus bandry by the light of experience and observation, and the way is reasonably plain ; there are, however, some points of interest which have been suggested rather than elucidated, by recent inquiries, and which are physiologically curious, and may beootnepractically iniportiut. The question raised is whetgirr cross Greechng has lot a permanent effect upon the dam? 1)r. James M'Gillavray, veterinary surgeon, asserts, in a paper in the I eterinarian, that " when a pure animal of any breed has been preg nant to an animal of a different breed, such pregnant animal is herself a cross ever after, the purity of her blood being lost in consequence of her connection with the foreign animal." Still more recently Dr. Alexander Harvey, M.D., in a pamphlet, entitled " A Remarkable Effect of Cross Breeding," says, " There is a circumstance connected with the process of breeding in the higher classes of animals which seems to merit a larger share than it has yet received of the attention of the agricultural body. It is this— that a male animal that has once had fruitful connec tion with a female may so influence her future off spring begotten by other males as to a greater or less extent to engraft upon theta his own distinctive fea buss ; his influence thus reaching to the subsequent progeny, in whose conception he has himself had no share, and his image and superscription being, so to speak, more or less highly inscribed upon them." Professor Simonds, of the Veterinary, also eounte stances this view. Several cases which have oc curred seem to support it. Sir Gore Ouselcy had a thoroughbred mare covered by a zebra and of course produced a striped foal. The following year she was put to a thoroughbred horse, and she again produced a zebra like striped animal, and the same thing again occurred in two following years, though in each year a different horse was the sire, and there had been no possibility of resumed connection with the zebra. A somewhat similar fact has been related by Mr. William Goodwin, Veterinary Surgeon to her Ma jesty. Several mares had foals in one year by Actaeon, but which presented marks exactly similar to the Colonel, by which horse all the mares had bred the previous year. So again, Lord Morton had a mare covered by a quagga, a species of wild ass, which produced a cross resembling both sire and dam; and the two following years the same mare produced, by an Arabian horse, foals which hail the stripe and hair of the quagga. Dr. Harvey refers to a similar instance in Southdown sheep. Mr. Shaw, of ',ceche!, put a Leicester ram to six black faced sheep, and others of his flock to a dun-faced Southdown ram, and the produce were the usual crosses. The next year these ewes were put to a horned ram of their own breed, and all the lambs were hornless and had brown faces. A second year the ewes were put to a horned and black-faced ram, and there were two lambs without horns, one dun-faced with very small horns, and three were white-faced. Mr. Simonds also states a similar instance of a sow. Another is that of an Aberdeenshire heifer put to a short-horn bull, and producing a cross-bred calf; and the next season, by a pure-bred bull of her own kind, she had a cross bred animal with horns, though both parents were polled. It is also said that animals will often produce progeny like a particular male with which there has been no connection whatever, and several instances arc stated in which such things occurred. We shall refer only to one. Mr. Mustard, of Angus, had a cow of the polled breed, and perfectly black; and he had no horned, or white or spotted bull. When the cow was in season, a white horned ox of a neighbour leaped over the fence and accom panied the cow home, till she was put to the bull; a black and white horned calf was the produce, and here no possible union could have occurred.

THIS DAY. Two o'CLo( K. The business in the English stock market today has been unusually limited, eves for a Saturday, whilst at the same time priers arc extremely firm, at an advance of L yesterday. The favourable appearance presented by the Bank returns has given rise to a feeling of great confidence, and a good opi nion is entertained of the prospects of the market with the near approach of the dividend period. Consols opened as they closed yesterday, at 98 to for money, and are now quoted 96;; to 97, and 97 to for the 14th inst. This is the only stock dealt in, the official figures being 91i; and 97 for cash, and 97 for account. Ihe Board of Trade returns for the month ending the sth of Septemberlhave been issued this morning, and are of an exceedingly favourable character. Much, indeed almost unexampled, activity is shown to be prevalent in the export trade, the total exports of British produce and manufactures for the month being 6,645,9281. against 6,013,4961. in the same month of last year, and 0,323,457/. in 1849. For the eight mouths the exports amount to no less than 47,157,9841., against 43,851,568/.in 1850, and 39,203,322 in 1849, and the increase appears to be well distributed through all the various breaches of trade. Our usual detailed analysis will be given on Monday. Exchequer Bills remain quiet, at 435. to 465. premium; but the smaller classes of India Bonds have been realised at a shilling lower, at 465. and 495. premium. The foreign stock market wears the same in active appearance ns the other departments of the " house, the entire business of the day being summed up in half a dozen bargains, but prices are firmly supported. Mexican Bonds are unchanged, but the arrival of the next mail, shortly due, is looked for with much anxiety. Only the following stocks have been as yet dealt in, viz.:—Brazilian Old Five per Cents., at 87 ex div. l)utch Four per Cent. Certs., cx div. Mexican Bonds, 27. Sardinian Scrip, 21, 21 die. Spanish Active Five per Cents., 201,. A letter dated Madrid, Sept. 26, was received yester day by Mr. Capel from Mr. Benjamin Oliveira, who had reached Madrid. He was well received by Lord Howden, and Mr. Wcisweiller was to solicit an audience of Senor Bravo Murillo. The 29th was fixed. M. Oliveira, it is well known, left London expressly to represent the hardship Senor Bravo Murillo's financial law (unless modified) entails on the holders of coupons, whether attached to or de tached from the bonds. The law runs counter to all previous legislation of his predecessors in office, confiscating, as it does, the most sacred part of the claims of the creditors. Pending negotiations for the reception of the cou pons at the full value, Mr. Oliveira strongly im presses on the committee the necessity of advising the bondholders by advertisement, not to convert their coupons, and iu this is supported by Mr. Weis weiller. The cheek to the upward tendency of the market for foreign exchanges, noticed last post, was con firmed yesterday, prices being in most cases a shade lower, with the decline most decided in bills on Hamburg. The arrivals of gold, and a more plen tiful supply of bills on London at the continental bourses, are the causes of the market turning a little, but it may be chiefly ascribed to a small supply of bills coupled with a somewhat brisker demand. Short Paris was done at 25.20 to 23; ditto, three mouths, 25.10 to 45. Amsterdam ruled as before, at 12 to but Hamburg was in great demand, and though done at the commencement of 'Change at 13.10;, it soon re ceded and closed 13.10 to !. Bills were scarce and several buyers could not obtain the amounts they wanted without submitting to extravagant rates. Frankfort maintained its former quotation, and first rate bills were taken at 120. The flatness in the Italian market continues, with the sole exception of Naples, which was rather in favour of sellers, closing at 401 to Z. On the other hand the demand for bills on Spain was not great, and negotiations were effected in favour of this country. The same is to be noticed of paper on Portugal, for which no better price than 53 could be obtained, both for Lisbon and Oporto. The buyers of drafts on Austria were ex tremely scarce, and only a few transactions were effected at 12.6 to 8 for Vienna, and at 12.8 to 12 for Trieste. The prices negotiated arc as follows : - Tour. y Prices acgrohatcd. From To itmoterilita per t Short 110. 19 It,. ... 111.1014 T.

The foreign merchants thankfully acknowlrdge the attempt of the Expreas to draw attention to the irregular charges of postage on foreign letters. A letter from Sonnenberg was charged, a few days ago, five shillings, and the unfortunate addressee, on remonstrating, was told that an Austrian letter 'sent through I'russia could not be transmitted fur less. The geographical demonstration that Sonnen berg is nut in Austria, but in Saxony, was of no avail. - - With the manifestation of some demand for the Indian markets, the silver market at length wears a more settled appearance. The amount pressing on the market was yesterday placed at os. Oid. per ounce, and Mexican dollars arc firm at is. 10 d. The price of silver will not be affected by the several ar rivals chronicled on Thursday and - yesterday at the various outports by the Franklin, the Tagus, and the Emperor, as these supplies arc almost entirely in gold. Bullion at Paris, both gold and silver;is fluctu ating,,but the exchange keeps op. The price of gold, on Thursday, at Paris, was 1 per mille discount (new tariff rate), which, at the Eng lish mint price of 3/. 17s. 10id. per ounce for stan dard gold, gives an exchange of 23.141, and the ex change at Paris on London at short being 25.22, it follows that gold is about 0.318 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By last advices the price of gold at Hamburg is 4281 per mare, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17;4. 103 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.61; and the exchange at Ham burg on London at short being 13.7!, it follows that gold is 0.348 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. By last accounts, 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 being 100 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.67 per cent. in favour of England. Upon taking into consideration the difference of interest and charges of transport, we had that the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

With the numerous and heavy arrivals we arc daily chronicling, it is beyond a doubt that the tendency will continue decidedly upward till the commencement of the dividend payments, for which the Hank will be well prepared. The further large increase of upwards of half a million in the govern ment deposits augurs well for the position of the quarterly revenue statement just about to appear. As attacks have been lately made on the constitu tion of the Stock Exchange, it is but fair to call attention to the measure which was instantly adopted to provide for the widow and family of the unfortunate Mr. Ingle ltudge, and the subscription for which already approaches 1,000/. This is but one of many examples of liberality. 2710L1211 FUN li2.—Tiii. PAT. Dank eituele. .bI Lou Ara litioi, 1 per CL lieatiee..l, phut loilla et...ek. 2.4 2 1 per Ct.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF TILE PRODUCE AIMETS. .MINCIN4-LANE, SATURDAY MORNIXO, In the colonial market great heaviness still prevails, and prices, in many instances, rule in favour of the buyer.. The low qualities of Sugar have again been old at reiltietil rates, but the good sorts have generally upheld quotations. 'I he public sales of Coffee also, have not been large, and former prices have been well supported. For Costa Rita very lull rates have been paid. Rice has been in fair demand, and full quotations Karr been obtained. Saltpetre has been dull. The Tea market presents little alteration. BRITISH HUSBANDRY. PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF BREEDING. (Concladed from the Express of Oct. 1.) Mr. Dickson, in his work on breeding, traces the natural progress of the art of breeding, and points , out the errors to be avoided at the various stages of that progress. Rut no one need now go through any of these stages, fur the modern breeder at once avails himself of the experience and the errors of his predecessors, by purchasing at once good stock of the sort he intends to breed. And with a man who intends to make breeding his first object, this is the best plan; he should buy both males and females of the purest blood, and the best forms his judgment and his means enable him to obtain. But, with the general body of farmers, breeding is only a part, and usually a secondary part, of their business; and they cannot, consistently with the general management of their farms, devote either the money or attention neces sary to become professional breeders. With them the question is how their actual stock can be most improved, and at the most reasonable cost. We answer, by the steady use of pod and pure bred males. Still he must take care that the male be not only of pure blood, but that it is fully equal in its points to the actual stock. Thus Youatt says, " Let it be supposed that the cattle of a certain farmer have some excellent saahties about them, but there is a defect which considerably deteriorates theirvalue, and which he is anxious to remove. He remembers that 'like produces like,' and he looks about for a bull that possesses the excellence which he wishes to engraft on his own breed. lie tries the experi ment, and, to his astonishment, it is a perfect failure. Ilis stock, so far from improving, have deteriorated. The cause of this every day occurrence was, that ho did not fairly estimate the extent of the principle from which he expected so much. The new bull had the good point that was wanting in his old stock; but he too was deficient somewhere, also; and therefore, although his cattle had been in some degree improved by him in one way, that was more than counterbalanced by the inheritance of his defects. Here is the secret of every failure—the grand principle of breeding. The new comer, while he possesses that which was a desideratum in the old stock, should likewise possess every good quality that they had previously exhibited—then, and then alone, will there be improvement without alloy." One very important question in breeding and one about which much discussion has taken place, is, whether the male or female parent exercises most influence on the offspring—whether improvement be greatest from the ivale or female side. The Arabs, so celebrated for the scrupulous care with which they watch over the punty of blood in their horses, who trace their pedi;Frees through a hundred generations, arc comparatively indifferent as to the male; but prize their mares as transmitting to their offspring their chief excellencies. They readily sell the horses, but no price will tempt them to part with their mares of the purest breed. Facts, and the conjoint opi nions of scientific observers and practical breeders, alike support an opposite doctrine. Of course this assumes that both parents are in somewhat equal circumstances, for if the female be constantly and carefully maintained in a condition of eminent excel lence, the male being comparatively neglected, she may often transmit her own peculiar properties in defiance of the antagonist ones of her mate. In ordinary cases, however, the influence of the male predominates. The offspring of the male ass and the female horse resembles the former more than the latter. The long ear, spare muscular development, narrow feet, and sluggish action, are almost equal peculiarities of the mule and the ass. The size, too, approximates to that of the ass; for the large Spanish mules are the offspring of asses of great size. Small mares, too, will bring colts of large size when put to lGtilhorses. Pony mares will thus breed stout Soways, and well bred mares about fifteen hands high, will produce full-size carriage horses by a powerful stallion. So the improvement effected by means of a good short-horn or Hereford bull in a herd of ordinary cows is very striking. In sheep the male's influence is still stronger. The cross Iseween the South • Down ewe and the improved Cotswold ram produces a large, long-woolled sheep, closely resembling the sire; and the produce of the Leicester ram and Cheviot ewe has a close resemblance to the male in size, appearance, and fattening qualities. As re size, general appearance, form, and muscular development. therefore, the iufluence of the male is 1 superior to that of the fe male ; but it must by no means be supposed that these points in the female are matters of indifference; and above all the mother should be free from hereditary disease and possess a • good constitution ; defects from such causes are found . to be more likely to be transmitted through the dam than the sire. The temper, disposition, and nervous 1 development are said more frequently to follow the female than the male. 'fhe influence of the female also Nerves to soften down and modify the form of • the male ;as a large coarse horse is put to a hand ' some well-bred mare, the offspring, though larger • than the dam, is usually handsomer than the sire. Mr..l. Walker, in a recent scientific work, con tends " that organisation is propagated in halves ; that the voluntary and locomotive systems are pro duced by one parent, and the vital and sensitive sys tems by the other." The former by the male, the latter by the female, though occasionally an opposite result is observed from the female being the more vigorous of the two. Mr. Walker condemns attempts to enlarge any breed of animals by menus of a larger sire, as calculated to produce a coarse and ungainly progeny. Experience, however, is against that view. The small sheep of Orkney, Wales, and Ire land, and the black-faced sheep of the Scotch High lands, have all been enlarged and improved by means of the Cheviot, the Southdown or the Leicester rain •, while the Cheviot sheep has been equally improved ; by the Leicester rain. The writer, in f. Morton's eyeloixedia," referring to Mr. Walker's theory of propagation by halves, save, "So far as our own observations go, the locomotive system and the disposition to form fat and flesh go to-' 'ether, and these are generally propagated by the male parent ; as for instance, when a Short-horn or Hereford bull is used with an ordinary herd of cows, or a Leicester ram with an inferior breed of sheep, the almost invariable effect of this latter cross is to produce an animal whose feeding and fatting qualities very closely approximate to those of the sire, and are beyond all comparison superior to the dam." Some physiologists and naturalists have attempted to determine the influence of either parent in re spect of the sex of the offspring, but the only conclusion to be drawn from their opinions and statements, which are contradictory, rather goes to confirm the common notion among breeders that when the male is older than the female, the majo rity of the offspring are likely to be males. We believe that this is not much to be depended upon, for we have known instances of cows breeding all their calves of one sex by different bulls, to the great vexation of the owner. In one instance a gentle man desirous of establishing a herd of Shorthorns in a remote district purchased two cows at high prices; they bred nine calves, by different bulls, and there was only one female calf out of the nine. Another question in connexion with breeding, which has excited some difference of opinion, is the I breeding in-and-in. That it preserves the perfections of an improved breed, if not too long persisted in, and the animals are not too closely allied, is certain; but it generally ends in producing a weakly progeny, and particularly deficient in the reproductive facul ties. Though breeders may occasionallz nn tr e y rs. it, the system should be carefully avoided by On the subject of crossing, the writer on breeding we have before referred to confirms the views wo have expressed, saying, " The first cross is generally successful ; a tolerable degree of uniformity is pro duced, resembling in external conformation the sire, which is usually of a superior breed ; and thus the offspring are superior to the dams.

Buyers are reluctant operators. COVENT GARDEN.-THIS DAY. Peaches are nearly over. Pines and Grapes are abundant. A few West Indian Pines still make their appearance. Damsons arc scarce, as are also Oranges and Lemons. Nuts remain nearly the same as quoted last week. Carrots, Tur nips, Cabbages, dm., are sutlicient for the demand. Potatoes are generally good in quality. Lettuces and other salading are sufficient for the demand. Mushrooms (bushels) appear but slowly. Cut Flowers consist of Heaths, Pelargoniums, Mignonette, Heliotropes, Stephanotis, Signora& venusta, and Previa, Semis. FRUITS. Pule.appler, per lb., 4s to C.

The share market has presented a somewhat un usual appearance to-day, as,in face of a very restricted business, all the leading stocks have advanced, and the few buyers offering have in scarcely any instance been enabled to operate except at higher terms so changed are the views of the dealers. With the great firmness now apparent, it appears likely that next week will witness a considerable upward move ment; and, should prices continue to wear an im proving appearance, it may be confidently expected that a good portion of the large mass of dividends payable a fortnight hence will come into this market.

Excepting sundry rather large parcels of Australian and brook-washed Odessa Wools sold this week to speculators the market has been very quiet. All sorts of reports are currant respecting the quantity to he brought forward at the next sales on the 23rd inst. Some importers fancy that in 1532 Wool will be considerably higher in price, and in tend carrying over till February the Wools intend:4l for the October sales ; and some have been buyiave Wools that were sold in August at an advance of hi. to lid. per lb., to hold, perhaps, even till 18.33, speculating upon the Australian shepherds converting their crooks into pickaxes and their shears into gold-scrapers. Let such bear M mind that as soon as Wool [juts the consumption decreases, anal Woul from all parts of the world cusses flowing into England whenever prices get high here. Manufacturers generally are acting very prudently, buying only from hand to mouth, knowing that a good trade depends upon the raw material lacing at a reasonable price, which enables them to sell their goods at a low price, to clothe the millions.
