MARK-LANE.-:THIS DAY. Our market was well supplied this morning with English Wheat, by land-carriage samples from Essex and Kent, and the quantity on sale was still further decreased by the por tion of last week's sopply which remained over unsold from Friday last. White :Wheat was pretty readily pur chased by the town millers, at pricn rather below those of Monday last, whilst the iosl Kent Wheats hung heavily on hand, at a reduction of Is. per quarter. Lincoln and . Cambridgeshire Wheats sold on much the same terms as on Friday, being a decline of Is. per quarter upon the value of this day sc'nnight. Flour was unchanged in value, with a fair demand ter fresh qualities of foreign. Choice malting Barley was scarce, and its value was well supported, bat secondary qualities were rather cheaper. foreign sold on much the saute terms as before. The arrivals [of Oats during the past week have been moderate, at the same time quite sufficient for the demand.

From these returns it appears that the average amount of circulation for the past month is less by 6,1781. than that for the preceding one, and less by 2,382,2371. than that allowed by law. The diminu tion in the circulation thus continues unchecked in its downward progress. The annual exhibition of stock and agricultural implements in connexion with this society was held on Thursday afternoon on the Castle-green of Carlisle. The quality of the stuck elicited very high approbation, awl the ahow was well attend.A. At t h e conclusion of the business 160 persons sat down to a dinner at the Bush Hotel. Sir JAM T. 4 l; 11111 AM, (tart., M.P. presided. After the rerr oval of th.. clo th the usual loyal toasts were drunk, on the proposal of which Sir James Graham .took the opportunity al' eulogising Prince Albert and Mr. Pax ton in proposing the Great Eshibition. A toast to the Karl of Carlisle having been replied to by Mr. P. 11. Howard, The Hon. C. lIOWAItD proposed the health of the chairman. Sir J. GRAHAM said,—My friend on ray left, and one of the members foe this division of the county, has expressed his regret that Lord Carlisle is not bore to propose my health, because he is an old mid valued friend of mine. (Hear.) I regret Lord Carlide'a absence sincerely ; but *till, looking down this table, I see many old and long valued friends present whose approbation and expresaions of kindness really touch my heart. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Howard, who is sitting upon m rght, has referred to my past occupation*. Gentlemen, I feel that to-night lam really labouring in the home department. (Laughter and loud cheers.) This is the Millie department which, after all, I prefer, and hale always preferred, to any other. (Cheers.) I Call truly say that tho cultivation of my estate, said the management a i x i s own farm, have been, after all the occupation.. of my v life, the occupations which I love hest. (Loud elargen.) Nosy, gentlemen, if all that I have done with respect to agriculture in this county dues not speak for itself, anything 1 could say would be thrown away. For nearly 30 years I have year by year expended in the cultivation of a portion of the aoil of Cumberland a proportion of my income which, 1 believe, taking all circumstances together, La larger *kw that of almost any other proprietor with reference to thi. surface upon which that money has been expended. (lieu, hear.) You will excuse ma for saying so much. (Cheers.) It is no empty boast, but perhaps I may be pablooeil for taking this opportunity of saying that I be -11,%.., considering the rental of that estate when I began that outlay, the amount of that outlay continued for 30 years, and the present rental which I now draw from it—l 6e not believe that any proprietor has spent so large a sum 1 ..1111 so small a return an the shape of additional rent. I um greatly obliged to you for the kind manner in which sou have received the toast, and expressed yourselves to wards me. -- tdiU6l 17 174 I d 4 , 4 the ~ Se S 1 f o V/ 17 4 ENGLISH FUN D9.—Tui s Tue. flank Stack, end Long Annuitieu, 3 per Ct.

SAIL RDAT EVIIMINO A considerable amount of business has bceu tral acted during the week in West l'rovidence and 'fre tnayne, the former at an improved price, and the latter about the same. For Alfred Consols there has been a good demand, and altogether the business done has been to a fair extent. Though presenting no remarkable feature, the market is expected to rule quiet till towards the end of next month, when the dealers anticipate a little more activity owing to the change of investments which usually accompanies the great dividend periods. A prominent topic of conversation during the' week has been the gold discoveries in Australia, all tho details connected with which have appeared in our columns. Already we can perceive the first in dications of a movement to turn these discoveries to profit, in the organisation of joint-stock enterprise, whilst the setting in of the current is evidenced by many occurrences of minor import. Handbooks for the use of the Australian gold-seeker arc already making their appearance in the booksellers' windows.

The CHAIR i MAN—It s now my duty to propose to you a toast which applies more particularly to the business of the evening; and 1 had heard with some regret that it was fancied in some quarters that all the good societies of this nature could achieve had already been accomplished in Cumberland. (Laughter and cheers.) I dissent from that idea altogether. (Hear. hear.) lam decidedly of opinion that meetings of this kind, proceeding in a generous spirit of competition and friendly emulation. contribute to the pro ems of agriculture in an eminent degree. (Hear, hear.) I should have said so, even if I had not attended or preluded over such meetings, from my Femend observation of the operation of institutions of this kind, but it was only nem.- s.ry to *thud to what we saw yesterday, so nearly con torted with the subject of the present meeting. more ave c-114 was it only necessary to be in the Castle Yard this awning, to force one at once to the conclusion that these societies have a most salutary effect. (Cheers.) Mr. Howard his alluded to the reaping machine which I dare say most of you saw in operation on Wednesday. Amon the many a dvantages to be derived from the Cheat Exhibition I know bone that will contribute morn to general improvement in every branch of agriculture than the display of these new sad improved implements. (Hear, hear.) k rum what 1 saw ”Stualy 1 should say that the reaping machine is susceptible of improvement, and yet is undoubtedly en icstruen lit of great promise. (Cheers.) I doubt not that tE present threshing machine was subject to as much *fern comment when first introduced, and yet see bow univissally it is now applied. It is true it was made on the !alter side of the Atlantic, and for that very reason I think it is entitled to especial attention in England. It is the work of those whom I regard as distant brothers, employed in the same occupation, and contending who shall bear off the palm of success. This is the rivalry which I should "Pk to see between the two nations. (Hear, hear.) We are brethren by aature and brethren in our love of inde- Puidence and free institutions. Their institutions stand 'Pm the same bases as our own, and say suggestions colds( from that quarter are entitled to oar sweet end eensideme. hos. (Hear, hear.) I think that the anPublellin eir.reher' day was a very seven, trial to the egamikine. lie the net Place. the crop upon which the melee wee 11■1011ri WIZ 110 t s uc h a crop as would lead me to sappiest that Agri ruaural Society of East Cumberland bed done all for the beintit of the agriculture of the neighbourhood. (.' Hear, hole," and laughter.) In the first place it was not one of the cleanest of crops; it was certainly not one of the tie/1- ' R of Crops; and, judging from the appearance of the soil, tt streek me that it was very much exhausted. (Neer, hear.) If we look at it as exhibited in the second held, we bad it operating upon ground in still worse cesMities than the other from recent alterations. It was fall of °,. t ° o ‘. c 4, and old hedges whom roots had not been eradicated. was the land set aside upon which to test the power of the machine, b u t after all its working was not unsatisfac tory, (Hear, hear.) I think there are imperfections that machine, tad no doubt the skill of the lileglirde, d keowledge meekaaisail seism, and never-hiliag ol improving every invention, whether native = ‘ ,.. , " 4 • will overcome these dificulties. (Cheers.) I Wok ups the whole thenttinie of the machine was skean * ,4 4 eteolkwit (Rue, beer.) Ido not think the mode -- are sow altered. It was not then profitable on a large scale: but now the demand for flax for manufacturing linen alone is almost boundless. Its exportation is im mense, and &great question is pending, but it is unsettled, whether flax may not be profitably mixed with wool and cot ton in textile fabrics. If that should turn out successful, then the growth of flax will be prudent on the part of agr. culturists. The difficulty is this. You are aware that the seed of the flax, for the purpose of nourishing the soil, is infinitely preferable to oileake or suy other of the refuse portion of the flax seed ; but if you use the flax seed itself mixed with other articles of food, such as chopped hay or warmed food of any kind, the linseed itself is the meet productive, the most fattening, and the most re munerative in its return to the soil. The seed of the flax, therefore, for the improvement of the soil is the best growth that the fanner can encourage. Then conies the question of straw. The straw is bulky and requires difficult mani pulation and handling; and I do not consider the coneys. non of the flax into straw is the proper business of the farmer—it is the duty and business of the manufacturer. (Nier, hear.) The process is twofold ; first, that which takes from the straw the substance which adds to its out ward bulk—that may be done by a machine, which is not very costly ; then comes the snore difficult process, the separation of the fibre, which is bound together by a gluti nous substance which must be dissolved before the fan it self, is its textile shape, can bo obtained. As yet this sew ration has been achieved only by a very difficult mod tedious as well as a very expensive process—by wit. tint in pools of stagnant cold water. Lately, in Ireland, important improvements have been introduced, and the separation is effected by the use of boiling water and by • certain chemical process. A still more recent discoreey Ins been made about which I will not speak, as yet, wish perfect confidence, but of which I can venture to speak with hope. It is the invention of Id. Claussen, a French man, and if it succeed it will render theoperatioa of dis solving the gluten from the fibre of the flax a work of only two or three hours. It is a chemical process, which M. Clansmen has patented, and there is a very sanguine hope that it will be so successful as to enable flax to be pro pared for the manufacturer at a small cost and very readily. If 1 have made myself intelligible, it is plain that the straw cannot be oonveyed to a great distance to undergo this pm ens, and that the manufacturer must be brought to this deer of the farmer. Such is the enterprise, the shill, cad I would almost say the patriotism, of the manufachashng Ift• Vast of this country—not without reference to oak but antlined with gain, which is the real incentive et dl ha. provement—that if you can show that any such will pay the manufacturer, that onstaftatiwat of = material will establish a mill la Me ottighltiodong; sod I hold it to be Gne of the duties of bona* to socartio whether this mode of dealing with flax be not feasible, and, if it he feasible, to make an effort to introduce ha their neighbourhood the machinery and the manufretimo requisite for the extended growth of so important and un ful a crop as flax. (Cheers.) This is tedious, but stil these are matters of great importance — matte rs board ep with our present welfare, and with the future and happiness of the great community of which rizr. part. (Hear, hear.) lam among the first to admit that the basis of our national prosperity is the produce of the soil. (Loud cheers.) If it were not so I should ha pow indeed, for all I possess is in land, and in land et this county. You, therefore, have the utmost pledge of my sincerity and my wish to promote the welfare of the agriculture of this county (hear, hear) but you must have it in a manner coincident with the welfare of the community; and these are the objects sod these the modes in which to attain that end. Societies of this kind appear to me to have that tendency, and I was delighted to hear a sentiment which fell from you, Mr. Vice-Chairman. (Cheers.) You said you did not despair of the prosperity of the agricultural interest. (Cheers.) You said that agriculturists must meet increased difficulties with increased exertions. (Cheers.) You added that Heaven always favours those who help themselves, sad that the agricultural interest would not be the last interest to make the requisite exertion. (Cheery.) It is only necessary that that exertion should be well directed. It n the duty of landlords to lead the way in respect to all these improvements and experiments ; the landlords of England must not be left behind in the race of exertion ; and, if we be a united body, then I say: w Enema will Bever ma, ra4bnit to boned prove true.. (Loud cheers.) I ant afraid I hive already detained yyoouc too long with these details ; I will prolong them no further, but give you from my heart, "Success to the East Cum berland Agricultural Society." (Loud cheers.) The tonvta, "The Royal Agricultural Society of Eng land," " The successful aad unsuccessful candidates," and "The tenant farmers," were afterwards drunk, and the company separated, well pleased with their meeting. TUE LONGEST SUIP.—BEATEN AGAlN.—Under the heeding "The Longest 8 hip in the World," our contem have mentioned that Messrs. Mare, shipbuilders, of lar r e n k es irall, and Messrs. Penn, of Greenwich, engineers, have taken a contract to construct, for the Peninsular and Oriental Stearn Navigation Company, an iron steam-ship, of the following dimensions and power, viz.:—Length be tween the perpendiculars, 324 feet; breadth of beam, 43 feet; depth, 32 feet. Strange to say, however, the Ameri cans bawl beaten this by anneipation. The steamer Eclipse, now an the Meeks at Louisville, Kentaeky, is to be three hundred sad fifty-nine feet in length.

The publication in our paper of the exchani prices from the Continent produced the more inte rest yesterday, inasmuch as in consequence of the sudden fluctuation ir. the exchange at Vienna on London, a powerful banker having sole possession of the telegrapie quotations might have made 5,0001., which would of coarse have been so much lost to tho negotiates. - intehange had been falling during the week, when on Thursday it was an nounced that the quotation on Wednesday at Vienna was 1 lfl. 30 kreutzers. This quotation was by some persons thought to be erroneous, as the previous i quotation was 1111 kreutzers, and a rise of 17 kreutzers at one tim e being equivalent to 2l per cent. was quite unexampled. They therefore con ' sidered the quotation was a misprint for 11 11. 30 I kreutzers; but those more familar with the subject, observing that the exchange at Vienna on Paris was likewise quoted higher, the renort was received as authentic. Thus in the very first week of the new communication of the telegraph prices the mercan tile interest have benefited to a considerable extent. We are glad to state that, at a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Campbell, Arnott, and Co., of Liverpool, yesterday, 13s. 4d. in the pound was accepted, and authority given to the firm to continue the Panama business. I Money continues abundant, and the rates as before. The payment of a large amount for dividends is at hand, and in a short time the railway companies will begin to purchase Exchequer Bills with their cur rent profits. Today another instalment of 15 per cent. becomes due on the Sardinian loan, and will no doubt be fully paid up, as otherwise the payments already made become forfeited. The shams of the new South American and General Steam Navigation Company are in allotment at Liverpool, and, as half the amount of the shares is payable on allotment, a sum of 100,000/. will have to be paid up. Abroad money is easy in most districts, except in Austria. The operations of the Bank of England have been of the usual character at this time of the year, and the large imports of bullion last week have told materially on the stock of the precious metals. The accounts of the Bank of Vienna to the 31st of July are as follows: Bullion Circulation Discounts The accounts to the 31st August are as follows : Bullion Circulation 23,221,520 Decrease 688;3'23 Discounts Except so far as the decrease of circulation is con cerned, these returns aro not so favourable as those earlier in the year. The accounts of tho National Bank of Sardinia for the week ending the 10th September show the following results:— Bullion £938,177 Increase £84,129 , , Circulation 1,373,882 Decrease 88,390 Private deposits 63,852 Increase 13,152 Public deposits Discounts The price of silver has during the week continued to decline, and bar silver has marked ret. Ojd. per oz. standard ( the lowest price for a long time, with the prospect of a largely , increased production of gold from California and Australia. Tho quicksilver workings of California, which were looked to to increase the yield of the South American silver mines, have not yet had that operation, and as the wages of labour are now under such influences in Mexico and the South Pacific countries that an advance is likely to take place, besides the competi tion of gold digging as an employment, there is at the present moment little prospect of silver receipts being increased. This would have a tendency to increase the price of silver, but the consumption is I undoubtedly- decreasing for coinage and articles of plate. Gold is now coming largely into circulation here silver used to be the favourite currency ; gold is being more used for jewellery and gilding; and silver plate is less in demand on account of the extension of plated wares and electro plate. Under these circumstances there is no imme diate prospect of any great alteration in the relative value of the two precious metals beyond what may be produced by any sudden political de mand.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ARSON AND SUICIDE IN FILANCB.—An extraordinary crime has been committed at St. Hippolyte, in the department of the Tarn and Garonne. On the 11th instant, at about nine in the evening, the house and outbuildings of a farmer named Aradel, com monly called Corrah, were observed to be on fire. Twenty or thirty people soon assembled and were taking measures to extinguish the flames, when the report of • gun shot was heard, and at the lame instant the son of the mayor of Bouloe, who was in the crowd, fell senseless and severely wounded. He was scarcely raised from the ground when a second shot was fired, and another young man fell bathed in his blood. The crowd, which had increased, then be came panic struck, some ran off to Lauzerte to inform tho magistrates of what bad happened, while others, half stupefied, gazed about, trying to discover in vain where the shots could have come from. A third shut, wounding a third person, dispersed the crowd in all directions and the flames were left to spread unchecked. The flash of the third shot was, however, observed to proleed from the window of an adjoining gra nary by two or three persons, who, not having themselves the courage to make further search, went to meet the geus tobywalulachddtehre darmes on the Lauzerte-road, and informe d . them of it. rac ce a . ry bu't The brigadier, regardless of the danger, instantly mounted, and was was followed by his men. They found a young man seated nToheitamire.earch,edoramt means s e t o o t. t e h n o u g an on a stool with his back turned to the window from whenco the shots had been fired. He was deadly pale, trembling, and his garments were dripping with blood. His left hand was leaning on a gun, and at his feet was a double barreled pistol yet smoking. His face was one largo bloody wound. His lower jaw was broken, and there was a hole iu his fore head from which blood flowed in torrents. The wretch had just shot himself in the head. Although horribly mangled be still breathed. Ho was recognised to be Bartholomew Aradcl, the son of the proprietor of the house burnt down. He was arrested and taken to the hospital of St. Unman, where he soon died of his wounds. The explanation of this terrible drama is as follows :—Dartholomew Aradcl, ruined by gambling, or nearly so, and owing money in all direct." lions, rewired upon suicide. But he first set fire to his father's house, and then hid himself in the granary to rho at all those who attempted to extinguish the 'Meg. It is supposed that he had meditated the diabolical project fur some time, as several cartridges, bullets, and a quantity of powder and lead were found upon him. The three wounded preens are happily expected to recover.
