MARK-LAN E.—(THD3 DAY.) In consequence of the present settled weather, and of the progress made in harvest work, the demand for Englirh wheat to-day was very dull, and prices were nominally 2s. per qr. lower than last week. There was a good show of foreign wheat on the stands. In all descriptions next to nothing was doing, and to con clude business importers were compelled to accept fully 2a. per qr. less money. Floating cargoes of Frain were difficult to sell, and the currencies had a drooping tendency. The show of barley was limited. The trade ruled firm, at full prices. Malt was dull, at barely previous currencies. In oats a fair average business was passing, at the rates ' previously current. Beans supported their former value, with moderate in quiry. Peas were firm in price. Flour was very dull, at barely stationary quotations. Linseed and rapeseed moved off slowly, whilst Krim!. tural seeds met with very little attention. Cakes were in fair request, and prices ruled firm. CURRENT PRICE& INGLUUL Per Qr. WELT. Mem Kent, red, 'tls 69 to 74 „ 80. welie, 'BB 6E io; 76 '4:5 88 to 78 ? qt. 0121. a. I.

When the Reform Bill has finally passed, it is not impropable that General Peel will, says Echoes front the Clubs, again take office and having returned to Pall mall, will commence, in good earnest, the greatly needed War-Office reform, about which so much has been said and so little done. Lord Cranborne has refused to rejoin the Ministry. BRITTORD GREAT SHEEP FAIR, AVOCAT 12. The fair was held to-day, and the attendance of buyers and dealers was as large as ever known. The supply of sheep, averaging from 95,000 to 100,000, was considerably above the average, and the condition was better than usual, in consequence of the abundance of keep. The trade throughout was dull buyers acting with great caution, nevertheless a tolerably good clearance wee effected, several lots changing hands more than once, at prices a little higher than at the late Weyhill and Overton fairs. As compared with last year, there was a reduction of from 84. to 10s. per heed. Wethers ranged from 345. to 44a. per head ; ewes, trom 35e. to 455. ; and Luba, from 365. to 455., prime lots of each realising coin siderably higher prices. The competition for the prizes offered by the for committee was unusually large both from local breeders of great eminence and from those at • great distance. The prise animals realised high prices wetbers sold as high as 55e. each ; ewes 60s. a head, and lambs 40s. each. The horse fair was well supplied with all descriptions, but the trade was dull, and prices ran rather low. The supply of lean stock of beasts was less than usual, and little business was transacted ; and the supply of agricultural implements on the ground was exceedingly short, very few business transactions taking place. A TREIIINDOI3B LEAP BY A PONY.—A pony belonging to Mr. Lovett, builder and contractor, Darlington-street, took • leap • few days ago which will astonish even the readers of the sporting journals. The pony stands only about 135 bands high, and whilst being harnessed in the owner's yard it suddenly took fright and leaped over a pair of gates shout 85 feet high. The animal's hind legs caught as she was going over and tore away the fattening', but the pony dropped safely in the street outside, and the only injury sustained was a slight cut. After this extraordinary leap she proceeded no further, but allowed herself to be quietly led back to the stable.— Woherkatipten Chronicle. There is one curious fact with respect to the, wasp worth mentioning, and for which, besides my own observation, I am indebted to the same intelligent naturalist. It is as follows :—lf the entrance to a waep's nest be stopped up in the day time, the numerous wasps which are constantly returning to it, make no attempt to sting the aggressor ; but if only one escapee from the inside it attacks him instantly, although, perhaps, not with the same pertinacity as the common bee is known to show.—E.

Consols opened this morning at a slight improve ment, but have since relapsed to the last quota tions of yesterday, some sales having been made to realise profits. The Three per Cents. Re duced and New Three per Cents. remain firm in consequence of the recent large absorption of these securities, partly on account of the London and Westminster Bank. British rail way stocks have given way, upon a renewal of speculative sales for a fall. The supply of stock, however, is very limited, while the amount to be taken up at the settlement to-morrow by bona. fide inves tors is unusually large. The "backwardations," or premiums for the loan of stock to the next ac count, have accordingly increased, especially as regards Midland. Foreign bonds are strong, though mostly unchanged in price. There is a fair demand for money, but the rate is unaltered, at lkto 11 per cent. Short loans on English government securities are offered in the Stock Exchange at about the same quotation. Consols are now quoted 941 to 1 for money, and 941 to 95 for the account ; and the Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents., 941 to 96. The railway market is flatter, and several of the principal stocks have receded. Brighton has de clined 11 per cent. ; Metropolitan and Great Northern (original), 1 ; Great Western, 1 ; Midland, South Eastern, and Great Eastern, ; and London and North Western, 4. Annexed are the quotations :—Metro politan, 1284 to 129; Great Western, 431 to 441; London and North Western, 1161 to 1161; Midland, 1191 to 120/ ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 130 to ; Caledonian, 1124 to 1131 ; South Eastern, 674 to 68 ; Great Eastern, 90 to ; Great Northern, 114 to 115 ; ditto A, 1161 to 1174 ; London Chatham. and Dover, 18 to 1 ; North British, 31 to 32 ; Brighton, 504 to 51. The government broker has bought to-day 21,0001. Three per Cents. Reduced, on account of the sinking fund, at 941. Turkish Bonds of 1865 continue in request, and have advanced 1 per cent., viz., to 311 to 321; but Spanish Certificates are lower, at 161 to 4. Other stocks are firm, but show no change of importance. Turkish of 1862 are quoted 57 to 58 ; Greek, 131 to ; Spanish Passive, 214 to k ; Italian of 1861, 491 to ; and Mexican, 141 to 4. In the market for bank shares the dealings were still principally confined to London and West minster and Imperial Ottoman, which have again advanced—the former to 94 to 96, and the latter to 11 to oi dis. Financial shares are without change. Inter national Financial are quoted 21 to 2 clis. ; London, 24 to 23 dis. ; General Credit, 21 to 2 dis. ; and Credit Fonder, 54 to 5/ dia. United States 5-20 Bonds exhibit a reduction of per cent., at 731 to 74k ; and Erie Railway shares are 1 lower, at 44 to 46 ; Illinois Central are called 77} to 78, showing no movement. Anglo-American and Atlantic Telegraph 8 per cent. preference shares 'are steady at 18 to ; and 3i to a respectively. The City of Boston, from New York, has brought 26,0001.. in specie. The half-yearly meeting of the London General Omnibus Company (LiAited) will be held on the 3rd of September, when a dividend will be declared. • • A special meeting of the Bt. George's Harbour Company is called for the 30th inst., " to take into consideration certain provisions of the St. George's Harbour Act, 1861 ;. to determine what course will be most advisable in order to bring the affairs of the company to a termination ; to decide as to the disposal, by division o 4 r otherwise, of the balance of the London and Noith Western Railway Com pany's stock belonging to this company ; and gene rally for other purposes relating thereto." All persons having claims against the Bombay Royal Insurance Company, the Bombay Cams Insur ance Company, and the Came Constituents Insurance Company, which are now in course of winding up, are required to present them for payment to Messrs. D. D. Cams and Co., of London, by the 31st of December. About 10,0001. in gold was sent into the Bank yesterday.

The liquidators of the English and Swedish Bank have given notice of a further return of 41. per share, payable on and after the 12th Septem ber next, making 14/. per share returned. The following relates to the Atlantic Telegraph : The Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company's ship Chiltern sailed to-day from Greenhithe with 320 miles of submarine cable on board for Placentia, in Newfound land. The cable, which has been manufa ctured: for the New York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Com. piny, will be laid from Placentia to the island of St. Pierre, • French colony in the Gulf of St. Lwow*, and thence extended to Sydney, in Nova Scotia. Great efforts are being made during this season in establishing through out Nova Scotia a ernes of land lines which it is hoped will enable the communications to be maintained between Europe, vii the submarine cables, and Canada and the United States, throughout the coming winter, so as to avoid the serious interruptions to traffic which occurred last winter. In any case this new cable about to be laid will enable telegrams to be sent independent of the old land lines in Newfoundland, so that the risk of interruption by snow-storms and floods will be much reduced. Directly the Chiltern has laid the Placentia cable she proceeds to the entrance of Trinity Bay for the of repairing the 1868 Atlantic cable. By telegrams eat ressived from the Admiralty surveyors in that neigh bourhood, we hear that a shoal patch has been discovered in the immediate vicinity of the recent accident to the '66 cable, and there is every reason to believe that the mishap occurred owing to that cable having accidentally been laid across this ridge, on which there is very little more than forty fathoms of water, and where Icebergs naturally ground. Sir Samuel Canning, who so nmeendully sub. merged the Atlantic cables, aided by an adlcient shiff, has proceeded in the Chiltern to execute the above important troche The report of the Credit Fonder of England Company (Limited), to be presented at the general meeting of the 19th inst., states that the net profit during the past half-year amounts to 62,000 L 14s. 10d., out of which a dividend of 3e. per share is recommended, which will absorb about half that total. In order to avoid any misconception as to the value of the investments held by the company, they are described seriatim, and include the City of Milan Improvements Company for 243,615/. ; the Varna and Rustchuk Railway, for 196,4671. ; Belgian Public Works, 107,279/. ; Irri ga tion Com pany of France, 282,740/. ; Imperial Land Com pany of Marseilles, 325,666/. ; Millwall Docks, 148,326/. ; and some other companies. A part of these sums is secured by mortgage. Several - of the undertakings enumerated are on the point of, or steadily approaching, completion, when they are expected to yield a remunerative return. The direo tors have from time to time written off the deprecia tionbetween the estimated and par value of the secu rities held, the difference amounting at present to no leas than 1,146717/. The hope is expressed that no further depreciation is likely to take place, but even if it should do so "there exists so large a dif ference between the actual quotation of the shares of this company and their par value that it ii obvious that even under the most untoward cir cumstances the shares could hardly be intrinsically worth leas than cent. per cent. above their present quotation." The ship Taeping, one of 13 vessels now engaged in a race from China to England, with the first portion of the new seasons crop of tea, pained Anjer on the 27th of June. This ship, it will be remembered, arrived in the Downs last year at the same time as the Ariel. Owing to the ' tbitnessof the tea market the usual premium on the cargo of the first ship will not be paid this year, but the interest in shipping circles attending this great ocean competition can hardly be said to have diminished.

The legal position of the new bonds relative to the funds in hand being still under discoed/ 0, we regret we are unable to state at present when • dis tribution, beyond the 1 per cent. now in cone of pay ment, will be rrude.—We are, &o.
