Yesterday a very attractive novelty was added to the standard attractions of the above gardens, in the shape of a numerous and valuable collection of poultry, pigeons, sad rabbit., sent to by all the eminent eonnoisseurs, and amongst which prises to the amount of 2.50/. were distri bitted. The show was pronounced to be first rate, both is quality and in the number of specimens exhibited, and, aotwithstanding the lowering aspect of the day, attracted a numerous and fashionable assemblage. There was a tre mendous array of the fashionable cocking, cinnamon, lentos coloured, white, sad black—the last being the greatest no velty, and some of them valued at 1001. a pair. These birds, so Ott racti re to the amateur, and so ungainly to the uninitiated observer, wax larger at every succeeding show, as if the growth was stimulated by public approbation; so that at some distant day we may expect to en them disputing the palm of stature with the emu or the ostrich, and ridden, saddled and bridled, into the show by their enterprising exhibitors. The specimens exhibited yesterday possessed all the points of the cochin sang re sas7e being speckles. in hackle, excessively circum scribed in posterior diminutions and having countenances, the expressiveness of which was detected with intuitive sympathy by the judges. In consequence of the season of the year, the chickens were in higher feather than the adults, but the whole collection was pronounced to be of the very highest chencter. The first prize was awarded to Mr. Eason, Thurlow Lodge, Lower Norwood, for the best cock sad two hens; and prises were also taken by Messrs. hate, Adkins, Rawson (a large exhibitor), a n d several others, indeed the only difficulty felt by the judges in this clan was in the enbarras de ric4use, with which they had to deal. In Hambro fowl, Mr. Nichols' pen of golden speckled, was much admired, and carried away the first prize of its clam. Epicures will be glad to know that the Aylesbury ducks of this year surpassed all former specimens; and connoisseurs will not be surprised to learn that in black Spanish fowl, Captain Hornby, of Knowsley, carried away nearly all the prises. Of seven pens sent in by this gentlemen, fi ve became prizeholders. The dealer's prise was carried off by Mr. Casting, of Lcadenhall-mar krt. under who.e supenntendenee the whole arrangements of the show were carried out. One of the Spanish fowls shown by this exhibitor was much admired, and by many considered to be equal to Captain Horuby's. The pigeons were not so numerous as had been expected, in conse quence of the sudden death of an intending exhibi tor ; but then were some pens of fantails of rare excellence, to which first prises were awarded. In the more miscellaneous departments geese, rabbits, drc., the exhibition war exceedingly well supplied, and many of the openness obtained prises. In addition to th e poultry show, the visitors to the gardens bad the opportunity of inspecting Mr. Marriott's Apiary, in itself a most rotten-st ing exhibition, and the newly constructed marine aquarium, is which the limy inhabitants of the deep may be seen disporting themeless in obedience to their various idiosyncrasies, sad affording to the student in natural his tory a esemplete Mae of instruction and amusement. The erection at tile feature in the attraction of the plan has been 'needed with considerable trouble and expense, as Lugs glass tanks, filled with salt or fresh water, had to be provided, and the specimens to be collected from various and distant quarters. It is to be hoped, however, that the public patronage will be such as to make the aquarium as profitable as it is interesting and instructive. In the even lag the usual concert, including Miss Poole's Meet, and fireworks, completed the bill of fare. Mi Ds. ami do. !MN de. SOL..

The transactions were very restricted, but there was little disposition to buy, and prices showed a drooping tendency all day, finally closing at a gene ral but unimportant reduction from those of yester day. l3erwicks were rather firmer, on the issue of the directory' report; but Caledonians were marked by renewed heaviness. THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocx. Great dullness continues to prevail in the railway market, but the tone appears a trifle steadier to•day. London and North-Western stock is rather better, at 112 to 1; Midland remains quoted, 71} to 721; Great Western, 88t to 891; Dover,, 211 to t ; and Great Northern., 21 to 211.

So "4 l 1 t 6" Ili Pa 214 23i ANOTHER ASCENT OF MONT BLANC. Lieutenant Augustus C. Murray, R.N., hu pub lished the following account of his ascent of this moun tain : _ " I have made the ascent of Mont Blanc since writing last to you. We attained the ()rands Mutate in safety, and remained there, as usual, for the night. At midnight we left them, lighted by a single lantern. Tee wind in creased from the time of our departure, until it became so terrific • gals that we could not proceed by the new path usually pursued, so we determined to try the old one, the same which Dr. Hamel attempted in 1820. It was the advice of Jean Tairrax, my chief guide, which determined me under existing circumstances to attempt it. Following this route, we had successfully advanced, notwithstanding incessant storms of hail and snow, which beat full in our faces, nearly to the summit of the Ruben Rouges, when suddenly an awful crevasse burst open before us with the crash of thunder ; our advaneed guide at the same instant disap peered, and we all feared the poor fellow was lost, when to oar joy we heard him cry out, and succeeded in res cuing him by throwing dawn our rope, which happilyjust reached him on the jagged fragment of ice to which he clung—a narrow escape, for on either side of him yawned a perpendicular chasm of some 150 feet iii depth. We still kept on, notwithstanding, with undiminished ardour, in spite of the constantly increasing fury of the storms of wind and hail, until we finally managed to reach a small rook just above the Petits Malec, under which the tem pest now compelled as to creep for shelter, absolutely forting us to cling to it with all our strength to our being blown away. All the difficul ties of the ascent were now overcome, and half an hoar mere would have brought us with ease to the summit, which had the storm ceased, &child thght with ease have surmounted. It was tantalising to be so near, after enduring so much, without being able to attain the absolute summit; but Jean Tairraz assured me that it was impossible to proceed without the loss of all our lives, as the wind would infallibly blow us over the adjoining precipice did we attempt it. Without giving a second thought, under such Ciftllll3eacees, to the further ascent, we decided on descending without loss of time, every moment of which was now becoming doubly precious. Throwing ourselves at full length on the snow, and crawl ing to the edge of the descent, we slid down in a few minute,, what bad taken us more than an hour to our meant. Then commenced the labour of our descent, as the snow had fallen to such a depth that we were half buried at every step. Worn out with fatigue, we dually reached the Grande Mulcts, where we were to spend the night; and such a night came on—l would not have lostlit for worlds. Even now it thrills through me, far surpassing in grandeur all I could ever have conceived. The fearful hurricanes of wind, the falling avalanches, the opening alivallMlS, the crash of thancher, the fierce lightning, riving in vivid flashes the dark clouds veiling the summit of Mont Blanc—all combined to form a scone which the absolute nothingness of man must truly see and feel to conceive of. When I looked upon it from our lonely and desolate resting spot, far above the sweet village of Cho =oasis, it seemed as though the mountainous worlds around us were warring with an angry heaven. The next morning when I looked in search of our upward route, it was impossible to distinguish • vestige of it, from the changes that had taken place during the night. What had been comparatively level, was now heaved up into gigantic wave,. Numerous and impassable crevasses likewise blocked the way. About 5 cm. we recommenced oar descent, and fortunately arrived in safety at Chamouniz. We com menced our aseentlon the Ist of August, at 7 a.m., and re turned on the 3rd, at 9 a.m. I went alone, taking five guides with me, of whom es Wet one, Jean Tairru, is a line brave fellow, and is Asides a clever naturalist. I most cordially reosammil ISM to any one willing to try this most arduous essest. Ome man besides, a volunteer, Le up at the last erovesno amdl returned. There is one g I would advise mem who may wish to emend Mont Bleat. The guides of Ckameaaix are fettered by police revelations, and aseobliged to serve in rotation with out regard es their ce to avoid which annoyance the best phi Is to salmi yamp cipalguideatC►amounix, and walk In T w4sh his and obtain the Sardinian mi sister's Waif Ay the Imes yes may wish to select. I should certainly advise Iva et least. Then walk back, and take • few days' good onertdos before you attempt it. I suffered much from not having done so. A Him determination and good health will then carry ono through." A MUSHROOM-GROWER LOST IN HIS CAVERNS. On the 10th of January, 1847, M. Puy entered his caverns I. plan the arraagera•at of his future crop. He went on and on, thinking of business, without discovering that he bad lost his way. On attempting to return, he found that he was traversing paths hitherto unknown to him. Sometimes he was obliged to crawl on his hands and knees, to proceed in what he believed the right direction, but still he could not bit upon any beaten and recognisable portion of the interminable grotto. At last his light went out, and farther progress any way, if not impossible, was perfectly useless. He sat down, determined to wait, knowing that he should be missed, and that search would be made for him. It was the wisest, in fact, the only thing he could do. There he remained in the dark all night, seated on the floor of the cavern, he knew not where. Next morning, Madame Pay, his mother—for M. Puy is still a single man —finding that he did not return home to Lille to sleep se usual, felt sure that he had wandered too far in the ear risree. Madame Puy is still living, and in health, but she " well remembers that day, and those which followed it." She immediately called upon her friends and neigh • hours to assist the workpeople in making a search. They readily answered to the appeal, incurring themselves no slight danger. The man who guided me through the mushroom beds, in his seal to find his missing muter lost himself for thirteen hours, although well provided with lights. Another day elapsed, and no M. Puy. The whole population of Lille was filled with anxiety. The authorities were called upon to lend their aid. 'rho troops were ordered down into the Drums were beaten, and guns were fired ; but it is singular that in those horrid recesses the moat powerful sounds make but lilts way. Douriniers. or customs-men, were sent for from the frontier, bringing with them their power ful, keen-scented, and well•tninsd dogs. But instead of the dogs finding M. Puy, they themselves narrowly escaped being lost After M. Pay had disappeared for three whole ckys, he was found at last by a bold young man, in the place where he had determined to remain till sought for. The spot is just under a mill in the neighbouring village and is a long, long way from the point or starting. His first inquiry was, bow long he had been there ? for he had no mesas of measuring the laps* of time. He was astonished MMus that three days had been passed in that lone conesaimmt, without either food or drink. It was well for him. perkape, that he was obliged to remain in that state of igaasauos. As the hoar of his deliverance became more sad more delayed, he might otherwise have fallen into a fatal despair.

In the English stock market, e,cd throughout the Stock Exchange, business has t:o.day been very quiet, and prices have shown a ":brooping tendency. The unfavourable appearance of the weather at this criti cal harvest period, co , :pled with the decided upward tendency of the corn market, excites apprehension, the more especially as it is now placed beyond doubt that the wheat yield in this country will be a de ficient one, and that we shall be compelled to import breadstuff; much more largely than usual. As we anticipated months back, the still unsettled Turkish question continues to weigh upon the market, and combines with the other adverse influences now in operation to check any tendency towards improve ment. The fluctuation of the da y's market has been extremely trifling, and business in every departinent is unusually dull. Console opened at yesterday's closing quotation of 981 to 4, but soon declined to 981 to I for money and the Bth September, at which range they te• maineci until the official close. At 4 &clock the tone was flat, sad the quotation stood at 981 exactly. The official business report includes :---Three per Cent. Co noels, for money, 114/1, 1,1; ditto for account, l i tiehl PApt.,4lBl, 1. Three per Cent. Reduced, 991, '99, 1. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 1014„ 4 . Long Annuities, 1860, 515-16, 6. India F.,tock, 2.57. Bank Stock, 2281, 229. Exchequer Bills were firm at par to r,s. pram. Business in the foreign stock market was very re ttricted, and, the transactions being totally devoid of animation, there was no change ira prices worthy of notice. The dividend payingstocksar e generally steady. At 4 o'clock, Mexican Bowls were quoted 281 to 27/ ; Peluvian Deferred, 59 to 61 • Spanish Deferred, 231 to 1; the Committee's Certi ficates, 61 to 61 per cent.; Granada Active, 23 to 24 ; ditto Deferred, 101 to 1. Theliat of sales embraces :—Bra :Wan Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds, 1852, 100, 99. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 641. Equador Bonds, 51. Granada Deferred, 104. Peruvian Four. and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds, for account, 31st August, 85/. Russian Five per Cents., 1171, 1181 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 102. Sar dinian Five per Cents., 961, 1. Spanish New De fiered Three per Cents., 234, 4, r. The Committee's Certificates, 64, 6Z per cent. Money to-day was again easy, but the general rate for discount of first class paper out of doors appears to be maintained at 31 per cent., notwithstanding eiscadonal transactions of an exceptional nature at 31. It is understood that the discount houses have shown less willingness to accept money on call at their present scale. In the market for foreign exchanges to-day . there was but little actual alteration in rates, but indica tions were presented of a downward tendency. There was great inquiry for bills on Hamburg; and paper on Pane was also in request, especially at 3 months' date. The total amount received by the East India Com pany for bills on India, from the 7th to the 23rd inst., is 129,6921. Hamburg letters of the 20th report a rise in the rate of discount to 31 per cent., consequent, appa rently, upon the shipments of silver from that city. The steamer which left on the 19th brought over 10,0001. worth of silver for London, and further sums were being sent to Sweden. Wheat showed an upward tendency. The Postmaster-General gives notice that he will receive tenders for the conveyance of the Australian mails of the 4th October on the new system, till the 15th September. One definitive share of 200 francs, or 81., paid in the Lyons and Genova Company, is advertised as exchangeable on the Ist September for four shares of 21. paid of the South Eastern of France Railway Company. Payment is advertised in due course of the first interest coupons falling due the Ist September on the loan of 2,403,000 florins of the Dutch Rhenish Rail way Company. The directors of the Netherlands Land :Enclosure Company are inviting proposals for the loan of 60,0001. on debentures to bearer, bearing S per cent. interest, which is to be payable half-yearly in London and on the Continent The Australian Royal Mail Steam Company have advertised the steamer Australian to leave the East Indic Docks on the 23rd September for Australia. The lieneral Screw Steam Shipping Company have also given notice that the Harbinger will proceed on her sesond voyage to Port Phillip and Sydney as soon aloha.= be refitted and stored. The direct ors of the new undertakings known as the "Charte red Bank of India, Australia, and Mina," sad the " Chartered Bank of Asia," have immorally issue d formal notifications to the effect that charters have been obtained, and only await the completion e( tL 'a requisite forms. There was li tole change in land shares to-day. Australian Agri,. ultural were a shade less strong, clot t in g 35/ t o 381. Peel River left off Ito 11 prem.

The Continental demand wee again renewed this morning, and several transactions took place in both Wheat and Flour, at • slight improvement upon the rates of Monday last.

"UP, GUARDS, AND AT Tram!" (Vol. v., p 428; Vol. viii. , p.lll.)—Some years ago, about the time that the Wellington statue on the arch at Hyde-park-corner was erected, I was dining at a table where Wyatt the artist was present. The conversation turned much upon the statue, and the exact period at which the great Duke is repre sented. Wyatt said that he was represented at that mo ment when he is supposed to have used the words, " Up, guards, and at them.' It having been questioned whether he ever uttered the words, 1 asked the artist whether, when he was taking the Duke's portrait, the Duke himself ac knowledged using them 1 To which he replied, that the Duke said that he did not recollect having uttered those words; and, in fact, that he could not say what expression he did use on that occasion. The company at dinner seemed much satisfied with Wyatt's authority on this point. —Notes and Queries.
