The English stack market today opened with ap parent firmness, with Console ruling 1- better than yesterday, at 981 to 1 for money and the Bth Sept. A reaction to 98 toe succeeded, the later advices relative to the Eastern question being unfavourably viewed, and the intelligence of corn riots at Liege also having a depressing influence; but at about half-past two a sudden decline to 971 to ensued, on sales by ' brokers usually reputed to be well informed, which induced a general report in the house that the Bank of England Board, at its weekly sitting to-morrow, is likely to raise the rate of discount. The broker N% ho ordinarily acts for the ' Bank and fur liovernment appearing as a seller at the reduced prices, Consols further fell to 971 to 1, but soon rallied to 971 tol, which was also the closing quotation at 4 o'clock. The fall of the day is thus per cent., and the selling seems to have been con siderable. In the ogler departments of the market a corresponding degree of heaviness prevailed, espe cially at the close. Money to-day was in rather more demand in the Stock Exchange. The official report of business in the funds includes :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 941, 98, 1, 974, ; ditto for account, Bth Sept., 981, 971, 1. Three per Cent. Reduced, 981, 99, 981, a. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 1011, 1, 101. Annuities of 30 years, 1860, 5 11-16 ; Bank Stock, 2281. Exchequer Bills remain quoted ls. die, to 2s. prem., and India Bonds, 15s. to 20s. prem. In the foreign stock market inactivity continues to prevail, and prices are unmarked by any especial movement. At the close, however, the tone seemed generally weaker. Mexican has again slightly given way. At four o'clock Mexican Bonds were . quoted 261t0 1; Peruvian Deferred, 59 to 61; Span ish De ferred, 231 to z ; the Committee's Certificates, 6 to 61 per cent. ; Granada Active, 23 to 24; ditto De ferred, 91 to 10. The list of actual sales embraces : Brazilian Old Five per Cent. Small Bonds, 102 ; ditto Four-an:'-a-llalf per Cents., 1852, 99-1. Chilian Six per Cents., 105. Dutch Four per Cent. Certifs., 981. Mexican Three per Cents. for account, 15th Sept., 26,i, 1. Portuguese Four per Cents, 451, 441. Russian Five per Cents., 119, 1181. Sardinian Five per Cents., 961, 1, I. Spanish Old Three per Cents., 471. The Committees Certifs., 61 per cent. It may be mentioned that, although it is very generally recognised that the Bank of Englund will before long raise its rate of discount, the idea that the step in question will be adopted to-morrow was not generally entertained in mercantile clicks. Nor does the rumour appear to have had the effect, so often noticed under such circumstances, of causing any material increase in the demand fur accommoda tion. Money to-day was in good demand, and fully employed, but there was no apparent stringency. Owing to the 4th of September falling on a Sunday, the bills due on that day will, of course, have to be met on Saturday next. This will, doubtless, lead to an increase in the demand for accommodation. The demand for raid to-day has continued active; but the actual renuttaneea are still checked by the absence of fresh arrivals from Australia, and by the indisposition to take gold from the Bank of England at its fixed rate of 31. 17s. 104 d. Several parties desirous of remitting have been awaiting the arrival in the f hames of the Highland Home and Emigrant, which bring in together 24,000 ounces of the pre cious metal from Port Phillip and Geelong. This gold was temporarily deposited in the Bank to-day, and will consequently be in hsnd to-morrow for melt ing, preparatory to its being sent away. Some fur !her large amounts of Russian imperials have been withdrawn from the Bank for remittance to Russia. The price of dollars has again risen, some sales having been effected to-day at Os. Old. per ounce. This silver was from the continent, and was taken for despatch to the east by the steamer which will leave for Alexandria in the earlypart of next month, and which will take out a very large sum in specie ' and bullion. The demand for dollars, it may be mentioned, owing to the rebellion in China, is at present more active than that for bar silver. Some very heavy amounts of silver have lately been col lected in Hamburg and other parts of the con tinent to meet the eastern demand, and there can be no doubt that their transmission to this side has aggravated the unfavourable tendency of the foreign exchanges. The mar ket for silver still maintains a firm appearance at the late advance ; but none of the large amount of treasure brought in by her Majesty's ship Daedalus has vet been sold, not being yet deliverable. Letters received from the City of Mexico thin day, via New York, mention the important feet that the condoeta had left fur the coast with no less than 4,000,000 dots. in specie, being the largest amount ever despatched by one conveyance. There is thus a prospect of the Indian and Chinese demand for silver being well met. In Mark-lane to-day, although there was less busi ness on foreign account, Monday's advanced prices were fully maintained. Purchasers for the Conti nent are still in the market. Letters received from France to-day by eminent firms refer to the probability of a reaction in the French corn markets, after the late extraordinary up wai d movement. Private letters received to-day from several parts of Scotland, including Dundee and Kirkaldy, allude in terms of great uneasiness to three days' incessant rain "A ..:1 which the country, at this critical period, was then visited. The half•yearly meeting of the Rouen and Havre Railclay Company is to be held at Paris on the 30th Septelaber. With reference to some recent failures in Mexico the New Orleans Picayune observes : Several mercantile failures are announced. Among them these of Arhida and Co., of Zacatecas, for 121,000 doh.. ; Valenzuela and Suarez, of Silao, for 80.000 dole.; Villa nueva, of Guadalajara, for 90,000 dole Others of great im pomace, but of which no positive announcement is made, are said t., have occurred. Land shares to-day were scarcely changed in price. Australian Agricultural closed 343 to 353. Van Diemen's Land were 10s. higher. North British Australasian were quoted 1-16 dia. to 1-16 prem. ; and the New shares, par to prem. Crystal Palace shares closed 1 13-16 to 1 13-16 prem. ; and the new issue, 14 to 15 prem. Australian Bank shares were heavy, especially Australasia and Union. Oriental Bank were also cheaper. Those of the Bank of India, Australia, and China, however, were firm. Australasian Pacific Mail Steam (121. paid), mark 73. Shares of the Bombay and Baroda Railway were quoted par to j prem. ; and the two French Water Companies also par to prem.

PROPOSED NEW RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—The ex isting form of railway carriage is proposed to be improved so as to accommodate a larger number of persons. The • carriage is to be formed of two tiers of scats instead of one, the body being placed low so as to give the necessary head room for the passengers in each tier, access to be given to the upper tiers by side doors, staircases, and steps, and to the lower, or ground tier by doors placed at the ends, the body having a projecting platform protected by railings at each end, to enable passengers to enter the end doors, with a passage or thoroughfare (as in America) from end to end of each carriage on the lower floor. NEW FIRE ESCAPE.—A gentleman of the name of Bate is at present exhibiting at the Polytechnic Institu tion en exceedingly ingenious yet very simple piece of machinery which he has patented, and the object of which is to save life in cases of fire. The "Escape" is neither more nor less than a canvas tube, with vulcanised India rubber springs applied externally, so as to yield with a heavy weight, such as a man's, but so tightly grasping the tube as to prevent the heaviest weight descending with un safe rapidity, This tube it is proposed to encluse in a me- Wile column which shall stand in front of buil •ings, from the roof to the pavement ; access to the column and tube to be provided for on each floor by iron doors, shutting with springs ; and the egress being provided for by a spring buffer at the bottom, on to which the descending body falls unhurt, read in felling opening by another spring the door at the foot of the column into the street. There can be no question of the practica bility of such a contrivance as this; and the only question is whether or not builders will think it worth their while to go to the alight expense of adding this to the other conve niences of modern houses, a point about which there must Ibe some doubt, seeing that builders are already absurdly economical in regard to that best of all fire escapes, and cheapest of all ornaments—front balconies, continuous along rows of houses. But it is very likely that this ulna lion will attract attention among private individuals owning the houses they live in, and among companies holding large buildings in which there are residence.. Not the least advantage about Mr. Bate's plan is that, in ease of fire, " property " can be thrown down the tube first, reach ing the ground undamaged, and " life " can descend imme diately after to take care of the property. MILITARY ANECDOTE OF THE LATE LORD SALTOUN. —Lord &thous was with his regiment, in 1815, at Quatre Bras, on the 16th of June, where the Guards were severely engaged. At the crowning field Of Waterloo, on the 18th of June, he and his fellow-countryman, Colonel Mac donell, commanded the all-important post of Ilougomont, on the right of the British army, and held it all day against the overwhelming numbers of the French host, Colonel Macdonell within, and Lord Saltoun without. Towards the close of that eventful day he returned to his place in the fine, with but about one-third of the men with whom he had gene into action. lie now took a pro minent part in the last celebrated charge of the Guards. One • abort anecdote of this moment of his career will at once de pict the character of the man, and the regard which the • offices, and the love which his men bore for him. Velun tccring to go to the front some twenty or thirty paces, while the battalion was lying down, and the last column of the French army, some 10,000 strong, was coming on to endea vour to break the British line, and retrieve the day—he arranged that be would put his cap on his sword, es a signal when the men were to get up and fire. Utterly re gardless of himself, and seeing the advantage of allowing the French column to approach to within certain destruc• tion, he waited till they were so neer that hie brother officers and friends called out to him—" For any sake, come hack Saltoun—our own men must shoot you ;" on which there was a general cheer, from right to left, " Never fear; we wont shoot my lord."—Edinburgh Courant. TILE NIAGARA FALLS AND LAKE ERlE.—Profes sor Silliman, the eminent geologist, discredits the opinion advanced by some, that the gradual wearing away of the rocks of Niagara Falls may possibly result in draining Lake Erie. In a recent lecture he remarked They will not a h b a o l t u a t tt two h o e i m r unknown period, and probably for ever , s i nce at this p lace en u t t h r e e y tre w a i t il slowly 1 y ag a a n i d n s fo u r re a l n y iles the hard limestone will form bo th the base and top of the sefunrtthsteart,iown b falls, and thus stop the des t ruct ion of the rock. Some have theught that they would finally reach Lake Erie,and that then the lake would be completely drained. Such an e v ent is impossible. At the point already mentioned the torrent will gradually wear away the surface of the limestone, forming a rapid, and thenceforth Niagara will be one of the lost wonders of the world."— Washington Union.
