Ox* o'Ouroz. The stock markets are generally firm to-day, and a further advance has taken place in prices. It is anticipated in many quarters that the Bank rate of discount may be reduced next Thursday, in conse quence of the rapid influx of bullion to that establishment, and the announcement of the transmission to England of about 900,0001. in Australian gold, the bulk of which is expected , to arrive at the end of the present week. The dul ness yesterday of the corn market is also regarded as a satisfactory feature. On the other hand there is a demand for specie for New York, and the Allemania will take to-day about 102,0001. The funds exhibit an improve ment of per cent. Foreign bonds, British rail ways, American securities and banking shares participate in the upward movement, but financial stocks remain quiet. ' The demand for money continues extremely moderate, and the supply large. The general rate for good bills is .7i per cent., but exceptional transactions are reported at 7, or 1 per cent. below the charge at the Bank. In the Stock Exchange short loans are obtainable at 5 per cent. Consols are now quoted 88 to j for money, and 881 to 89 for the account (September 6). Foreign stocks are firm, and a rise of j per cent. has occurred in Spanish Passive, the Committee's Certificates, and Italian of 1861. Turkish of 1856, however, have declined j. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 44 to 54 ; ditto of 1865, 261 to 26 ; Greek, 11 to ; Spanish Passive, 19# to I ; ditto Certificates, 14} to t ; Italian of 1861, 52f to f ; Brazilian scrip, if to 11 dis. ; and Mexican, lei to j.

About 108,000 sovereigns from the Continent and 62,0001. in bar gold were sent into the Bank yesterday, making a total of 170,0001. The steamer Tanjore, which arrived at Marseilles on Friday last with the light portion of the Cal cutta, China, and Australian mails, brought ' 66,0001. in specie for England. The Nyanza is expected to reach Southampton on Friday next with the heavy part of these mails, in addition to the large sum of 607,0001. in gold, of which about 505,0001. is from Point de Gallo (chiefly received there from Australia), and the rest from Calcutta and Madras. The Kent is also on the way from Melbourne to England with 161,5001. • the General Grant, with 10,5001. ; and the William Duthie, from Sydney, with 14,5001. The aggregate is 859,5001. The bills have been returned of Mesas. Young husband and Co., in the Australian trade. The firm has been established about nine years. The dividend on North and South Western Junc tion Railway stock is officially announced at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, and on Dublin and Belfast at the rate of 4. The e'stribution in the former came at the corresponding period of 1866 amounted to 5, and in the latter to 4. A call of 201. per slstre, p-yable on the Ist of September, ham been made upon the shareholders of the Humber Ironwor'..s and Shipbuilding Com pany (Limited). The shares in this concern are of 501. each, upon which 20/. has already been paid. Annexed is a communication on the recent default by the Turkish government in paying the July dividend of the Converted Internal, or General Debt. It is to be feared that in many cases the non-payment has been productive of much worse than mere " inconvenience," however great : - To vim EDITOR OP THE EXPRESS. Sir,—The delay which is taking place in the payment of the dividend on the Five per Cent. Turkish Stock of the General Debt is really very inconvenient to the majority of the holders. Is it then too much to expect the General Credit and Finance CompanT, who introduced this scheme to the public here with q.4lte a Amish of trumpets, to come forward to protect our intereats ? Ido not see that they have made a single step towards hel • us yet. Or dues that company consider it hono le to allow its interest in this stuck to cease now that it has realised the very handsome rofit which, if report speaks truly, they have made out of this transaction am, &a, London, August 20. A VICTIK. I The traffic receipts on the Atlantic and Great Western Railway for the last week in July were 125,070 dols. against 138,063 doh. in the same pe riod last year, showing a decrease of 12,993 dots. The total receipts for the month amounted to 462,674 doh. against 472,483 dols., being a de crease of 9,809 doh. The South Eastern Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 1241. compared with the corresponding period of 1866. The Calcutta Price Current for the Gth July con tains the following remarks on the East Indian markets : ---• • • • Stock and Money Market.—Though the fortnight has without bringing intelligence from London or passed Bombay of further disasters, and no fresh failures have taken place here, the distrust continues very great ; dis counts are not obtained without much difficulty, and busi ness generally is greatly restricted. During June imports of specie were Zit lakhs gold and 704 Labs silver, exclu sive of 13 lakhs by government ; and since the let instant about 25 Lithe have been received from China. Exports in June were 84 lakhs silver, and 111 lakbe gold ; of the latter 9 lakhe were sovereigns shipped for England. On the sth the Bank of Bengal reduced its rates 2 per cent. Eachange.—More business was done for outward mail of 30th ultimo via Bombay than bad been noted for several mails previously, at 2-04 to 241 for bank bills ; 2-0 j for first class credits, end 2-14 for documents; but since then the demand for paper has quite fallen off, and transac tions for outgoing mail are very limited ; rues are the same, except that the Oriental Bank Corporation gets 2-04 for bills ou London at six months sight. It is worthy of remark that whereas previous to the outward mail of Bth May there were upwards of ten banks competing a .th each other and with private buyers in the market for bills, since the mail of T2nd May was despatched there have been virtually only two banks in the field. Subjoined are extracts from Traver' Circular on the present position of the money market. I will be observed that the views expressed afford a marked contrast to the opinions which until a very recent period were stea dfas tly held by some of our more prominent commercial authorities : The effect of the reduction of the Bask rate of discount this week from 10 to 8 per cent. will be more felt in the provinces and on the continent than in London itself, where it has been anticipated for some days past, although lest week no change was expected for some time to come. The relief has been principally afforded by unlocked for arrivals of gold from New Zealand, andcertainly time that means were found to render the m oney market inde pendent of such accidental causes. In the country the immediate effect of the reduction will be to a certain ex tent to promote trade, which for some time past has been languishing, whilst on the continent a greater degree of confidence will be felt in our financial engagements, not so much perhaps on account 0 4 the actual amount of reduction, which still leaves the Bank minimum at a far higher rate than is compatible with an tuireecrieted commerce, but because it will be re garded as the commencement of still further reductions, and consequently as • sure indication of returning eta bing. The reserve is still a million and a half below the minimum which the Bank directors wished to reach ; but, on the other band, the quantity of gold received by the Bank during the peat week has been very considerable, whilst there have been no withdrawals of any magnitude for export.

The communication in question runs thus :—" My dear Marshal—l had anticipated quite as a fate to find myself again this year in the midst of my Guard, and to be able to judge for myself of the solidity and patriotism of that select force. Unhappily I cannot go to the Camp of Chalons. Express my regrets to the troops under your orders. Although lam absent, my thoughts are alwsye with them, and I send you the list et recompenses which you will distribute to them in my name." A DETERMINED POACHER. —An instance of the fearless and voracious nature of the seal has occurred during the present season at the salmon fishing near the mouth of the River Ness. It would appear that, during the last two months at least, • monster seal has been WM mitting fearful depredations among the fish. From the observations of the fishermen the animal seems to lanai the locality day and night, watching his opportunity for securing • victim, and the number of ash that fall a pre] to his insatiable maw must be considerable. After retiring for some distance, and with head above water reconnoitnag the operations of the boats and parties on shore, as if watching the convenient moment, he sinks under water. and evidently m akes in the direction of the nets where be grapples with the fish as they enter, or are endeavouring to make their escape. The nets have been frequently da maged, and on several occasions fish taken bearing the un mistakable impress of their enemy's delicate taste ; one case a fine grilse was cau ght having the head and porticos of the shoulders bitten clean awry. Every endeavour Las been made to shoot the plunderer, and numerous guns and rifles have been brought to bear against him, but with out success. Some of the fishermen declare that he is a veteran at the business and has visited the fishing* for the last few years in success ion. Whether this be the case sr not, he seems adroitly trained to the work, and vs* enough to elude all chance of capture. The loss to the fishing must be considerable.--Incenses A dvertiser. EXPLOSION FROM SHOTTON GAS COAL—Another of thew explosions caused by Shotton gas coed occurred at Hartlepool Dock on Saturday morning. The Wingate , Grange schooner had just completed taking in a cargo of . this dangerous fuel, when an explosion took place, and one of the crew was seriotudy burnt about the head and hands. During the day preparations were made for the vessel proceeding to sea, but at one o'clock another and more fearful explosion took place. The decks of the mod were rent up for some distance, the coals were thrown into the air, and the d ocks illuminated by the brilliant flash. A seaman in th e vicinity was frightfully burnt about the face and hands. The vessel will have to dis charge before proceeding to ses to get repaired. T HE WEATHER AND THE itaaviter.—During th• last few days the temperature has materially risen, sad this, with brisk breezes and sunshine, has tended Se improve matters, and to put • stop to the anxiety which the rain and broken weather had begun to excite. A grass breadth of grain has been cut, and, with a few days of warm and drying weather, thousands of acres will be leared by Saturday n ight in good condition. Bo far so c matters have as yet gone, there appears to have been but little injury done ; but any oontinuance of the recent rain and muggy weather would soon have made itself disastrously felt. Them, is some talk of mildew here sad there ; but we believe this to be very pertial. Reports speak well of the wheat, exempt on bad soils. Oats sod barley are also favourably mentioned, the former being • peat improvement on the crop of last year. Tbs rain has proved • highly beneficial to the root crops, which are looking no markably well, whilst the pastures appear to have taken out a new lease. The mooed crops of clover are in map , plum uncommonly good, and pee a capital swaths. • Altogether the accounts are prouusisg, end, with too . weather there is every reason to believe that we shalt , gather in, in these districts, a tolerably early and tory harvest From the hop districts the seconale se V cate some improvement, but the complaints of the Nit nights, of deck bine, and slow progress are univemaL As we remarked in our lest, the a re warm nights and sunny daya. At present the of the crop is that the growth will fall very far below eft average---if more than two-thirds of a full crop.—dassro Advertiser. 10,000; 60,000: 91,000 40,000: 60,000. 160,000! 10,0001 10,000 10,000 20,000 20,000 1 110,0001, 44,0001 40,0001 20,000 2°P°°l 6.0001 0,000 1 100,0001 1000001 10,000 1 13,000 32,000 6,000 10,000 10,000 17,600 %WM' 1%2 171,11 iiiiiii 99j 1001 211 I 1061 15 17 96 38 15 17 38 40 _Ws _d xd Si 4 1 2e5 B}}B 44W 46} 7 11; 12 111 17 • a j M 1 i •~ itilij 16] 16 II 20 je - 254 5 2 2 4 : I ii - 2 p.r 2 2 dis 60 17e teals
