The subjoined remarks are extracted from the circular of Mr. George Dornbusch, dated London, Wed nesdav evening: " The Russo-Turkish question is reported to be settled. The effect on the corn trade of the settlement of this vexed question will be to impart to prices a downward tendency, especially if the present propitious harvest weather should assume a permanent character, and favour the in-gather ings of the crops in good order. " Summer has at last seemed, after a long, dreary, cold, and wet spring. Since the commencement of this month, tke weather has been all that the husbandman could desire for maturing the cereal crops. and beginning harvest work. Reaping has comas , aced in the early dis- WOO, and will Bann this time extend for the neat six weeks all over the kingdom. This year, the harvest is a fortnight later than usual. Not a drop of rain has fallen for the last tea days; the wind seems for the present settled in the east ; a continuance of fine dry and warm weather will somewhat mitigate the injury to the grain crops dons by the long continued wet since last autumn, and much improve the quality, but it cannot add a stogie grain to what hasten grown. Out of 730 harvest reports from all parts of the United Kingdom, 260 of which refer to the wheat crop, only 25 reports represent this crop as flue and abundant. 30 as an average, and about 210, that is tho largest portion, de scribe it as bad, interior, and dcficfent, and this analysis agrees with the opinion of most competent judges, who say that this year's wheat crop will (from having been little sown, and grown under very unfavourathe circumstances) be one of the worst raised in the United Kingdom within the recollection of man, of poor quality, and snort is quan tity. A same of new Talavera wheat was, on Monday, exhibited at Mark-lan' ; the grains were still rather soft, and some shrivelled, but, on thu whole, the wheat appeared of average quality. The deficient wheat crop is likely to be to some tenet compensated by this year's abundant praduce of barley, which last spring was sown moth more extensively then usual, and also in districts where formerly this grain was not seeded; it promises to be a heavy crop, and where the plant has not been laid by the June diode, of good quality. Oats also are likely to yield abundantly, having been largely planted; besides, oats and barley generally thrive best in moist weather, sneh as we had this spring. Beans : An extra het adth of land was put under netivrition of this p ilse, and a fair crop is capecteel. Peas have suffered thruagh inserts, and the produce is short, but of fair via bly. Rye, which is little cultivated in this wintry, was this year sown in larger qua:Aity than usual; the tenable produce is estimated to be small, but the quality fair. Potatoes in England are stated to be extensively attacked by the blight, soil a large part of the produce, it is feared, will be lost; tine dry weather may tend to check the further extension of the disease. " The weather in Scotland had been till the last week cold and boisterous, but since has become fine ; and if it continues favourable, harreeting on the early soils will be general in a fortnight hence. Some wheat has been eat and found superior in quality to last year's produce. The yield of wheat in Scotland is expected to turn out below an average. Barley and oats promise fair crops. The pota toes are partially diseased. In Ireland, the cereal crops are reported as progressing very favourably, and promising • good produce. W heat was sawn leas than in former years, and therefore the crop cannot be large ; but barley and oats are said to proznise abundance. Potatoes have been very extensively planted, and are expected to 'reduce the hea viest crop since 1846. The disease is nut yet reported of in the north, but in the county of Cork the blight is said to be spreading. The markets are how abundantly supplied with new potatoes, meat of excellent quality ; and the con sumption of Indian corn has for the present'almost en tirely ceased, eacept for feeding purposes. " The corn trade last week ruled dull all over the United Kingdom, and prices of wheat have declined in most a k eekets is. to 2.., and it is probable that, with a centime ance of fine harvest weather, the cessation of the Russian war panic, and liberal supplies from our farmers, ear markets may continue dull tor soma weeks to come, till the effect alba falling off of the 51. diterranean arrivals will begin to be felt. La tat week sreulaton have invested large amounts in grain, now on the way, chiefly Indian torn, of which, on the strength that the molar crepe in Italy have failed, about GO cargoes were bought up at a rue of Is. to *l.s. over termer rates. Wheat also be gins to attract attention, and it is a curious feat that several importing boosts have appeared on the market as buyers, induced by the high prices of corn abroad, the eicessive freights, the small supplies in prospect, and the short wheat crops in the west of Europe. "The arrivals of grain off the coast from the south of Europe, owing to the change of wind and the few shipments made since May, have nearly ceased. Within the :as; tight days only 17 cargoes have arrived (13 wheat, I barley, 1 rye, and 2 mane). making a tutal since the 15th June of 740 cargoes, the whole of wluch,wiih the exception of a few, hate been disposed of. The number of vewiels passed the Sound, bound to the United Kineploai, from the 18th July to the 31st July, are 117 cargoes, of which 101 are wheat, 11 oat', and '2 barley (of which del cargoes of wheat to London.)" SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—GIIAiIISEND, Au:. 9. Lost ev Mop, when the Dr's' sic aurnaekee, which plies between Gravesend and London, t inched at tl.e Rasher vilie-pier, it see found in casting the mooring rope on to the pier barge, that a toil of tho rose had got round a your woman's leg above the ankle, and berme any effort could he made to entriestc h.q., or to 1-liclien the rope, her lee was broken, and the foot nearly erred from it. The sufferer was immediately lair! Al, and carried to Dr. Ridge's surgery, Gravesend, when it wee frond necessary to proceed I without delay to amputation of the shattered limb. It woulti appear that, in order to get out of the way of the man who was about casting the ripe feom the steamer to the pine, she iustivertently nut one W it into the coil rf rope on the deck. The patient, although some unfavoursble symptoms at first exhibited themselves, is now doing well. DEP %kV' Iln or VIE PArtile. LiVhal . GOL, WEDNI4DAY —ishout 1 o'clock this afternoon the I:nited States Mail Steamship Pacific, Captain Ezra Nye, sailed from the Mersey for New York, with the usual instils for United States and Posses-ims in N ,rth America, 170 passengers, and a large sod valasble cargo of merchan dise on freight. IIIiI)CCIION OF THE WINE DUTIES: Yesterday, a meeting to promote a movement in (event , of au alteration in the present high rate of duty charged epon toreign sod colonial wises, was held at Fen d•ll's Hotel, under the auspices of Mr. Oliveira, MP. The followiag members of parliament were also present : Messrs. Kirk (Newry), C. O'Brien (Clare), Fitzgerald (Ennis), ete. Mr. Oliveira having opened the proceedings, Mr. C. O'BktzN, M.P., moved the appointment of a general committee to carry out the objects of the meeting, to which he expressed his warmest concurrence. lie did not fear any isqury to the revenue from au equitable reduc tion of the duty. Mr. Witatt.er,M P., seconded the resolution as a friend of temperance, which he considered would be greatly pro moted by the chenp•ning of wine. Agreed to. The second resolution, which nominated the committee, was proposed by Mr. KIRK, M.l'.—lle c sold not, he said, advance in this movement without taking measures to Se cure reduction of duty on British 1411014:4Ctlifeil in foreign countries. lle believed that in vine-growing countries there was a greater demand for linen than iu any other, and therefore ho thought that any tau el favour to them should be reciprocated by a proportionate reduction of the import duty on linen. Mr. EVANS seconded the resolution, and supported the movement without quelitiratirm. Ile wanti dno recipro city, but merely to be enabled to buy everything he wanted u cheap as passib!e. Agreed to. One or two other resolutions relative to details were sub sequently adopted, and the meeting separated, having first agreed to a you're( thanks to Wu chairman, on the motion of Mr. Forster, M.P. LONDON AND SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY. at Yesterday the Unit-yearly meeting of the pro- r t prietore was held nt the York It iad Assembly Rooms. York- st. road, Lambeth. In the absence of Mr. F. Scott, M.P., who St was engaged on the Peterborough Election Committee, the SO chair was taken by Mr. !libber[, the deputy-chairman. SS The report, an abstract of which appeared in the L.rpress of Aigust G, having been read, the accounts were taken 25 as read. le The CHAIRMAN' maved the adoption of the report. SO The motion ea+ seconded by Mr. Tile. After a desultory discussion, the report was adapted 25 unanimously. A resolution declaring a dividend of 31 per cent. per an num for the bait-year was passed subseitostio. The CHAIRMAN then proposed a resolution, authorising the directors to apply to parliament for a bill for ranking a double line from Dorchester to Exeter, and for making the Southampton and Dorchester line (which is now a single ow) a double line throughout. The reetAution was then carried unanimously. A PROPIIISTOR wished to know on what ground the di rectors bad dismissed Mr. Lau, the engineer of the com pany. The CHAIRMAN believed that there was nothing which the shareholders would more readily leave to the directors than the question of appointing or dispensing with servants of the company. (Cheers.) In the exercise of their func tions they had thought fit to dispense with the MlTißell of Mr. 11 ow ; and Mr. Bass having thought fit to put the matter in the hands of a lawyer, he (the chairmen) should give no explanation on the subject. (Cheers.) This terminated the proceedings. A meeting of the New S‘iuth-Western Steam Navigation Company was 1-eld immediately after the close of the pre ceding one ; Mr. Tyra in the chair ; the proceedings of which consisted entirely of the declaration of the usual divi dend of 5 per cent. EAST LANCASHIRE RAILWA Y. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the proprie tors of this railway took place yesterday, at the Bury eta• tion, Mr. THOS. DI:01/ALE, the chairman of the director., presiding. An abstract of the report and accounts has already appeared in the Express. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and accounts, congratulated the shareh.lilers on the im provement which had taken place in their property during the last three years. Mr. Rum director, seconded the motion, which was carried without a word I,f discussion. A dividend was then declared after the rate of 6 percent. per annum for the past half-year on the sic per cent. capital of the company, of 6 per cent. 'strenuous on the amount called up of the preference fifth shares ; and of 3 per cent. per annum on the ordinary stock of the company. Mr. Bossism, of Ornaskirk, moved a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was carried unanimously, and the proceed• logs terminated. The lumina. only occupied 25 minutes. CORK AND DAXI4OX RAILIVAY The half-yearly meeting of proprietors was held yesterday at the London Tavern ; Mr. Louis in the chair. The report stated that the increase in the receipts might be considered satisfactory, the revenue for the past six months having exceeded that of the correspondtog period lest year by 1,0821, showing an increase of 27 per cent. The bill for the extension of the line to Bantry, with a branch to Clonakilty and ultimately one to Skibbereen. would in a few days pins the r. maining stages in the House of Lords and receive the royal went. The bill provid,:d for the perfect security of the holders of debentures and preference shares, while the original share holders were afforded a fair prospect of dividends shirtly after the whole line is opened. One of the many advan tages which the extension of the line to Bantry was calcu lated to confer was the facility with which, by a branch to Cmoithaven, not only may the mineral and other natural products abounding in that and the intermediate districts be brought to market, but an important communication would thus be established with a harboer which was admi rably adapted, from it: geagrAphiell position, fur a trans- Atlantic station. The receipts for the half year amounted to 5,9,561., and the expenditure to 5,6051. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, said that the dime ton having now overcome the difficulties which stood in the way of the extension line to Bantry, he hoped that those who, from a mistaken view of their own interest, hod opposed them, would now come forward and help them to push on the line t the west. The report was adopted, and a vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the business. WHAT IS A MILE. (From Punch.) We think that the question of " What is a mile ?" —a question which premises to swallow up in interest the eastern question, and all other questions which as yet remain unanswered—should be settled as soon as possible, for until it is settled we shall proper settlement of the cab fares. This settlement fa due not only to the persons who ride in cabs—but to those who drive them, for there are so many varieties of a mile, and so many different ways of =wolfing it, that it is impossible to say which the right one. Fur instance— If a young lady walks round the corner of the street in which she lives, she comes home quite fatiguee, and " is sure she has walked more than a mile." Ifa husband is dragged—a little against his will—to a certain street where there happens to be a bonnet shop, though it is not more than twenty yards, he is morally cer tain "he has been taken a mile out of his way, if he has been taken an inch." It is curious the number of miles a mother-in-law has walked when she feels desirous, poor creature, of having a cab. Besides, miles vary so much. A mistress's mile is gene rally very different to a servant's—a master's to a clerk's. Auctioneer's miles are proverbially very short ones when they are describing a property as being not more than "an omnibus distance from town," or when they are enlarging upon the merits of a villa that is "only an easy drive from a railway station." Traveller's miles. on the contrary, are generally very long ones. You will hear a delicate young man, who hoe just returned from a pedestrian tour, boast of having walked his " two thousand " just as if he had trail. d a pedometer behind him, and had measured every inch of the road. Mammas also have a very elastic method of stretching out a mile, which cabdrivers would doubtlessly not object to adopt as their own particular standard of mason meet. They talk very glibly of being " three miles long," whereas, if the dis tance came to be measured, it would probably turn out to he—like cabmen's distances generally—not more than half. There is another deficiency, toe, that frequently occurs with the mileage question. We have known a distance that, when a party first went over it we. only fuur or five miles, become suddenly increased to eight or ten at least when the sa me party—tem:6.oly if a dinner party—had to go over it again on their way back. This difficulty has been felt sa strongly at times that every one of the party has pre ferred—at that late hour—stopping where be was instead of walking home all that distance. These unnecessary dif ficulties imperatively call for a eeeedy answer to the puz zling question, " What is a Mile ?" for nithrrto the irie-tion has been passed over by our police magistrates, from one parish to another, like a pauper, for the want of a settle ment. BATTERSEA PARK.-A short act which lately re ceived the royal assent, has been weed to provide for the I purchase and estinguichmcnt of all rights of common and lemmas and other commonable rights °Ter the rite of Bath racy park, in the county of Surrey. It is enacted that the Bittersea.park C , immilvioners are to pay 1.5001. t.l the churchwardens of St. Mary, Battersea, to be appl,cd to such purposes al a vestry, to be convened for that purpse, shall direct, and thereupon all rights of common are to male and determine. Animal Pre. ogum. SHARE LISTS. WIDNESDAT EYZNINO. The railway market to-day .was scarcely so good as yesterday, but still ruled comparatively steady, especially in the afternoon. Business throughout this market was very dull. Great Westerns were firm, owing to a 4 per cent. dividend being now generally expected. London and North Western stock closed rather cheaper than yesterday. THIS DAY.—Two o'Choex. The railway market to-day has participated in the rise in the funds, and is now generally higher, busi ness, however, remaining quiet. Great Westerns arc very scarce, and has been offered fur immediate delivery. This stock has consequently advanced considerably, as have also Oxford and Worcester., Lancashire and Yorkshires, Midlands, and Caledo nians. London and North-Western stock is quoted 1151 to 116; Midland, 72 to IL ; and Dover., 211 to Z. French shares are higher, especially Strasbourgs, which have rapidly risen to 395 to 5.

WEDNESDAY SYII7II/fO. The English stock market today opened and closed at yesterday's prices, after being temporarily main taintd, in the intervening period, at a slight advance•. In the afternoon there was rather more disposition amongst the speculators to sell fur the nest account, on the continued uncerthinty of political affairs, and the tightening tendency of the money market. At the final e!osc, therefore, the tone was not strong • but the market presented little distinctive feature. The Stock Exchange has generally been devoid of active business, and the variation of prices in each department is slight. The Paris Bourse was reported in the afternoon by telegraph as closing firm, and tended to support the market. Business was quiet in the Consol market, which was chiefly occupied with the settlement of the ac count. The opening and closing price was 97-' to for money and to-morrow •, but at one time the ' quo tation was 974 to 98. The account seems nearly balanced between operations for the rise and fall, and the contango to the Bth September ruled at 1.16 to 1. The official business report embraces Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 971,1, 98, 97;,1 ; ditto, for account, I .lth August, 971, „I. Three per Cent. Reduced, 98 1. Three-mid-a-Quarter per Cents., 101, 1001, 101 k, 100:L, 101.

India Bonds were about 26. lower, being quoted 188. to 235. prem. Foreign stocks were generally firm, but some realisations of Russian were effected. Portuguese was rather better, the Four per Cents. marking as high as 44 cx div. Mexican maintains its late rally. Business in this market was very inactive. At 4 o'clock, Mexican Bonds were quoted 261 to 4 ; Peruvian Deferred, 57 to 59 ; Granada Active, 21 to 22; do., Deferred, 81 to 91; Spanish Deferred Threes, 24 to 1 ; the Certificates, 61 to 61 per cent. Sales are thus recorded : Brazilian Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds. 1852, 100. Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 981, 98. Equador Bonds, 5, .51. Por tuguese Four per Cents., 44, 43, 431 ez div.

Spanish Old Three per Cent., 471, : ditto New Deferred Three per Cents., 231 ; the Passive Bonds, 51 ; the Committee's Certificates, 6; per cent. This was rather a quiet day in Lombard-street, there not being any marked pressure for money. Discussions continue relative to the probability of the Bank of England making a further advance in its rate of discount; but it was not generally appre hended that such a step is likely to be taken at the weekly Board meeting of to-morrow (Thursday). ofhe amount of specie taken out by the Tay, for the Brazils, is 63,9601., besides jewellery valued at about 13,000/. The Orinoco, which sailed last week for the West Indies, took out 6,0381. in specie, and 1,3501. worth of quicksilver. The 21st auction of the foreign redeemable debt of Spain is fixed to take place at Madrid, on the 30th inst., for which purpose 375,000 reels (3,7501.) have been assigned by government. Tenders are to be re ceived in Loudon until the 20th. In Mark-lane to-day trade was exceedingly quiet, the weather being very favourable for the harvest, and the supplies of corn to a fair extent. Prices, however, appear to be nominally the same as on Monday last. Floating cargoes are held very firmly, and there are few offering on sale. The Liverpool and Hull markets yesterday were lower for wheat, with very little business doing. Lard shares remain stationary in price. Austra lian Agricultural were last quoted 32i to 33! ; and Scottish Austraiian Investment, 1 13-16 to 1 15-16 prem. Australian Bank shares were steady, and those of the London Chartered Bank of Australia and Union of Australia were better. Berlin Water works shares were quoted 1 die. to par. Crystal Palace closed 11 to 11 prem. Netherlands Land shares were firmer. The accounts lately issued by the London and North Western Railway Company have been can vassed with much interest, and the construction put upon them is generally unfavourable. From an analysis of the figures drawn up by a correspondent who has devoted much attention to railway statistics, some very interesting results arc deducible. • The total revenue received in the first half of the present year is 1,298,854 7 ., against 1,196,072/. in that of 1852. The increase is chiefly apprr. nt in the merchandise receipts, which amount to 458,508/., against 390,993/. in 1852. The receipts for passengers, parcels, mails, &c., were 689,7471., against 668,800/. last year ; for carriage of coal, 59,884!., against 50,9161.; for live stock, 23,999/., against 25,568/. In the shape of in terest. on cash balances, &c., the company havo re ceived 10,793/., against 11,339/. last year ; for rents of laud, buildings, a:c.,13,922/.,againat 11,9781.; for divi dendson investments,4l,49oe, against 33,922/. Turn ing to the disbursements of the half-year, the charge for maintenance of way is 52,467!., acainat 53,9631. in the same half of last year; locomotive power, 172,0751., against 131,233/. ; coaching expenses, 69,3531., against 59,746/.; repairs in coaching de partment, 21,501/., against 22,720/.; police charges, 21,527!., against 19,7621.; merchandise expenses, 92,482!., against 80,314/. ; repairs of waggons, 26,2851., akainst 22,240/.• compensation, 7,937/., against 4,2031.; general Charges, 22,0231., against 21,005 7 .; law expenses, 4,637!., against 4,9101. ; local taxes, 27,720/., against 22.369/. ; passenger duty, 21,373/., against 23,4641. The charges for in terest on loans have cost the company 189,6401., against 187,160 e last year; debenture stock, 4,7591., against nil; chief rents, 4,456 e, against 4,386/. ; par liamentary charges, 10,0001., and the same last year ; l'eterborough station, 2,000/., and the same last year ; loss on North Union Railway, 1,079/., against 6,060!.; Preston and Wyre, loss 5,000/., and same last year; Buckinghamshire, loss 19,127 e, against 14,331/.; Shropshire Union, lore 16,7701. _ against 16,493/.; Stour Valley, loss 9,512/., against 10,462!.; ditto expenses, fail, against 2,5001.; Leeds and Liverpool Canal, loss 1,3961., against 800/. ; Manchester, Buxton, and Mallock, loss 1,293/., against nil. The charge for renewal funds being 21,3181. against 31,9e61. last year, the profit of the half-year available for dividend is 469,673/. against 432,731/. The surplus standing over from the last half-year beii '' s 92,786/. against 182,176/. at the same period of the previous leer, the sum applicable for dividend is raised to 512.4591. agaiast 615,207/. The dividend at 5 per cent. tor 1853 will absorb 533,1551., whilst that for 1852 at 5 per cent. swal lowed up 546,901/. The surplus standing to credit of the company ou the 30th Jane, 1853, after pay ment of the dividend, is consequently only 29,303 e, Against el surplus on tho 30th June, 1832. Throwing into a summarised shape the results deducible from the above figures, we tied the follow ing sum- n r.tr.or of 1653 as co:neared with 1852, viz. : iuer.a.e iti passenger rscel t )t% 20,947/. ; in crease in goods rie:sipte, 67 ; 51:-:.; increase iii coal receipts, 8,9681. ' • increase in dividends on inv c s;- meets, 3,3681.; decrease of lass on North Union, 4,981/. ; decrease of loss on other lints, &c., 1,39;/.: decrease of renewal funds, 13,6781. The sums against 1853, as contrasted with 1832, may be thus stated: increase in locomotive power, •10840!.; in crease of coaching expenses, 9,607/. ; increase in merchandise expenses, 12,168/. ; increase in local taxation, 5,331!.; increase in sundry charges, 3,7251. ; increase in debenture interest, 2,4604 ; charge for dividend on debenture stock, 4,7391. ; in crease iu Duekinghamshire loss, 4,981/. ; decrease in sundry receipts, 2161. The balance or increase in profit for dividend is thus 36,9471. It is interesting to notice that at Midsummer, 1833, as much as 533,1361. is required to pay a 3 per cent. dividend, being at the rate of' 106,631/. per one per cent. for the half-year; whilst at Midsummer, 1832, only 346,904/. was required to pay a 51 per cent. dividend, or at the rate of only 99,4371. per one per cent. for the half-year. This increapfn the sum required to pay the same rate of dividend is attrileit able chiefly to the fact that, from and after the 30th June, 1832, the quarter shares received or di nar y dividend instead of 4 per cent. interest. We thus arrive at the following facts:—The in crease in gross revenue was 102,782. i., of which only 20,94 V. was derived from passenger traffic, and the remainder almost entirely from the carria.c of rmr chandiso and coal. Tito exact increase in goods and coal is 76,4831., and the increase in workieg expenses 73,6911. The increased proceeds from these two branches are thus absorbed, leasing the increase iu passengers receipts about the traffic profit of the hall year. The increase in preference charges amounts to 3,8 . 2 . 2/.; and as the additional interest or divi dends on investments amounts to LAN., these two items on opposite sides of the account neutralise each other. The renewal funds arc reduced from 34,996/. to 21,3181., a difference of 13,678/. It is objected by some that this seems irre concileable, as no less than 101;192/. has been bor rowed by revenue from capital fur the renewal of works and stock, and the works and stock account was in debt, on the 30th June last, nearly 300,0001. The outlay of capital during the half ycer was 287,077/, A notice has been issue d from the East India House to the effect that a muting will be held on Friday next "for the purpose of further considering the bill now before parliament, entitled ' A bill to provide for the government of India." Advises from Alicante, dated the lat of August, state : All vessels bound to this coast from a British pert aro subjected to three days' quarantine, in consequt nce of the cholera morbus having broken out in Copenhagen, which city being in constant communication with the United Kingiom, has caused the Spanish authorities to take tho present precautions.
