Ale ENGLISHMAN'S SURPRISE.—My poor beset was utterly exhausted, and I myself scarcely lees so. But, as I looked around the square of the caravanserai, bow great was my utonishment at beholding a son of Britain with actually an unmistakeable living Englishman, with • genuine Manchester physiognomy, sitting before the door of one of the cells. An Englishman alone here in Shahrud— that is certainly • rarity, almost • miracle. I rushed towards him. He also, although apparently sunk in deep thought, regarded me with wondering eyes. My Bokhariot dress, and my evident fatigue had attracted his attention. Who knows what he thought of me then For myself, in spite of my extreme exhaustion, I could not resist the charm of this extraordinary rencontre. I dragged myself toward, him, and, staring on him with weary eyes, ad dressed him with • " How are you, sir!" He 'earned not to have understood me, so I repeated my question. At this he sprang from his seat in surprise ; the greatest astonishment was expressed in his countenance, while he gave vent to his feelings with " Well I Where have you learned English?' asked he, stammering with emotion " perhaps in India." I should have liked to have strewed up his curiosity • peg or two higher, and at any other time might have enjoyed a mystification amazingly. But my longride had so thoroughly tired me out that I had not the spirits required for carrying on the joke. I made • plain confession who and what I was. His joy was lade scribable. To the great astonishment of my Tartar, who till now had always regarded me as a true believer, he embraced me and took me into his quarters. We spent • famous evening together, and I allowed him to induce me to rest there the whole of the next day ; for it did the poor fellow no end of good to be able to speak of the West after six months' separation from European society. A few months after our strange meeting he was robbed and murdered on the road. His name was Loneeld, and he was agent for a large Lancashire house, for which he bad to purchase cotton. He had to carry a great deal of money about him, and unfortunately forgot, as do too many, that Persia is not the civilised land which the glowing representations of its lying agents in Europe would lead us to suppose, and that one cannot place much reliance on passports and royal firmans.—Arminiuz Vissibtry, in The Amos, for July. t &uric RZCZIPTIA—The traffic receipts of nai l:mint the United Kingdom, published fur the week e • the 14th of July, amounted on 12,409 miles to 758,7 and for the corresponding week of 1865 on 12,141 miles to 732,2621., showing an increase of 268 miles, and of 36,4931.

Ors o'Cuas. There is a good amount of business in the stock markets for a Saturday, and prices generally are firm, upon the announcement that Austria has accepted the proposal of Prussia for an armistice. Consols are quoted the same as yester day, but British railways and foreign securities are decidedly better, and Mexican and Italian bonds of 1861 are in strong demand. Banking and financial shares are steady. The discount maaket is quiet to day, and the rate for good bills is unaltered, at 9 per cent. In exceptional cases choice paper is taken at 7 per cent. Consols are now quoted 884 to f for money, and 881 to for the account (August 9). Foreign stocks are in active request, and have attained an important rise in some cases. Mexican bonds are in especial demand, and have improved 24 per cent. Italian of 1861 have also advanced 14 per cent. ; Turkish of 1862, 1 ; Greek, ; Turkish of 1865 and Spanish Passive, ; and the Committee's Certificates, I.

Subjoined is the report of the directors of the English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered Bank, to be presented to the proprietors at the meeting on Monday, the 30th inst. : The statement of accounts which the directors have on the present occasion to submit to the proprietors shows an available balance, after defraying current expenses and making provision for losses, of 23,1831. 9e. 2d. This result is Lee favourable than bad been an ticipated, and may be traced to the depressing influence which the failure of the crops for two seasons has bad upon general business in Sydney, preventing an extension of the bank's operations there, as well as to thti competition in Melbourne for fixed deposits, and the high rates of interest paid for them. It affords the directors pleasure to be able to state that the Adelaide branch has made satisfactory progress during the part half-year, that the prospects of all the branches are considered good, and that current transactions are reported sound. They re commend that the balance at credit of profit and tom account be applied as follows, vie.:— To the payment of a dividend at the rate of seven per cent. per annum, free of income tax, on 600,0001., the paid-up capital of the bank, 21,0001.; towards the reduction of bank premises and furniture accounts, 1,0001.; leaving to be carried forward, 1,1831. 9s. 2d. _ _ Two o'CLocs. Consols are unchanged, at 88s w for money, and 881 to for the account. . . At Paris this morning the Three per Cent. Renter opened at 69.40, showing a fresh rise of f per cent. An instalment of 10 per cent., making 65 per cent. paid, falls due on the 24th inst. on the Bra zilian Loan for 5,000,0001. sterling, introduced in September last by Messrs. Rothschild and Bons. The final instalment of 9 per cent., making 74 per cent. paid, is payable on the 25th of September. . _ The steamer Great Britain arrived off Holyhead yesterday morning, from Melbourne, with 401,0001. in gold. The voyage has occupied 66 days. The China, from Alexandria, has also brought 206,0001. (chiefly from Point de Galle), and the Bavaria, from New York. 132,000/. The total by the three vessels is 739,0001. The supply by the China has already been bought for Paris, but of the remainder it is thought that some portion may remain here. In any case the draught upon the bullion in the Bank will be checked for atime. The Austrian and Hamburg exchanges were rather higher yesterday, but bills on Italy were more offered, and the rates more in favour of buyers. The silver market was excessively flat yesterday, with no inquiry for the East and the continent, and the quotation for bars was again fractionally lower, at Si. ld. to ss. Id. per ounce. Mexican dollars i declined d., viz., to 4s. Hid. Advice' from Birmingham announce the failure of the Netherton Iron Company, with liabilities computed at about 20,0001. A general court of proprietors of the Bank of England will be held on the 25th inet., for the pur pose of electing a director for the remainder of the year, in the room of the Right Ron. Stephen Cave, who has retired. The meeting of the Disoount Corporation (Limi ted) took place yesterday, when the report was adopted. It stated the gross profits for the nine months ending June 30 at 13,6541., but stated that the board were not in a position to recommend a dividend, after the payment of all expenses, and the deduction of rebate on current bills at the pre sent value of money. The directors think the share holders must have been prepared for this result by the events of May and June, the great and sudden rise in the Bank rate, and the complete stagnation of business. The half-yearly meeting of the Peel River land and Mineral Company was held yesterday after noon, when an interim dividend of per cent. free of income tax was declared. At a meeting yesterday of the Trinidad Petro leum Company (Limited) a list of new directors was submitted by the committee of investigation for the approval of the shareholders, and the necessary resolutions for the re-constitution of the board were carried unanimously. At the meeting of the British Indian Tea Com pany (Limited), held yesterday, the directors' re port, which referred in detail to the position and prospects of the undertaking, was adopted. The chairman expressed a belief that the next annual meeting the board will be able to declare a small dividend—probably 2 or 27 1 per cent. The directors of the National Discount Com piny (Limited) have issued the following satis factory report, to be submitted at the general meeting on Wednesday, the 25th inst. : The directors have the pleasure to report that of the new capital, authorised m January last, 39,576 shares have been accepted by the shareholders, and the first in- Atalanta 2L 10s. per share paid thereon, one half of which has been credited to capital, and the other half to the reserve fund. The balance of 424 shared, arising principally from the fractions of individual bolding*, on which no allotments could be made, are held for the benefit of the company. That the paid-up capital now amounts to 649,4701., and the reserve fund to 349,4701. That the accounts presented herewith allow • steady increase in the business of the company. That the gross profit for the half-year has amounted to 133,884/. Is. 2d., which added 31 to the balance of 4.0501. da. 4d., brought forty from st er of gives a total of 137,9381. 4s. 6d.

Is. ld., which enables the directors to recommend the payment a • dividend at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, both upon the old and the new capital, and to carry forward to the next scoount the sum of 3,633/. Is. 13., • result which, considering the unexampled severity of the financial tubas through which we have be= passing, will, it is hoped, be satisfactory to she shareholders. The divi dend will be payable on and after the Ist August. The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows this : week an increase of 1,536/. over last year. A meeting of the shareholders and creditors of the Oriental Commercial Bank (Limited) will be held on the 25th inst.

LORD BROUGHAM AT HOMZ.—After en absence of about seven months in Cannes and Loudon, Lord Broughstu returned to his seat, Brougham-hall, on Thurs day last, having travelled from London on that day. Con sidering the fatigue of the journey "throbord" as he is familiarly called in the nehood, looked as well or even better than could have been expected. _His head and nearly ball of his features are as usual concealed beneath the brim of his large hat, but what remains to view inlioate surprising freshness. He moves about with the same tottering step which can scarcely be called a walk. but excepting a walking stick, he is unsupported and unattended—one of the eccentrici ties of age. On Sunday afternoon last his lordship attended the beautiful little chapel adjoining the hall and in anticipation of seeing their noble neighbour again there was an unusually large number of visitors. In accordance with his usual habit his lordship wsa the last to enter the chapel, but on this occasion, apparently in consequence of the number of people near the chapel door; he lingered and looked at them from the terrace until they walked away, and then moved slowly down to his soca* tossed place shortly after the commencement of th see , vies. —Carlisle Journal. - _ ice 02 I: 1020 10 100 - CiOl 20,000 20,000 sor, so.0 6 :11 some 60,000 ii,Goof 17,T1i WOO( 17;0611 ??.°Ol io:*I ii:Oiiil •0.000 Tan lW I 8 an ill .100 Iy}l 1061 3 GO; _ ..-. 9.i _~ . 21; 2 - 121 17i 361 6e 131 - 41 Ela 46 7; U. 13 &50 , 000 I 100,400 %swim askew so,aoo tii - i OO 100,000 1.60,000 1,000,000 100,000 1110,000 200,000 gts - 41 iii:Oiii likaoo 1,400,000 060.000 750,000 dis _ a 90 91 83 90 91 1119 73 76: 94 N 90 U +oil fii - ii 9434 if i I •
