It is an important stock mart in the county of Falvey, and attracts considerable interest. There was in the aggregate a large supply of mixed descriptions of stock brought in for ode ; but, with the exception of useful dairying stock, there was scarcely any demand, and, consequently, a diminution in salsa, and this to some extent may be ascribed to the peanut high value of meadow bay, and the reserve made for autumn grams feed. Prices were as follow :—Much cows, fresh calved, down, 14!. to 18!. each ; Alderney brad do. and email milking cows, W. to 151. ; and cows to calve. down, 81. to 91, • well-bred stock heifers, U. to 91. ; good deers, 111. ; sad wall-conditioned beasts and grass-fatted cows, 141. to 191. Lean stock—stale and half-milking cows cow , mended no attention from buyers. In the horse fair there was a large show, but which did not comprise many high priced horse'. Cart horsed fetched 16 to 24 guiocas, nags 12 to 18 guineas, colts 15 to 20 guineas, and ponies 6 to 9 guineas. Sliesp—full mouthed ewes nude 275. to 295. a head, and well bred do. :32a., and stock lambs 15e. to 20s. per do. Pigs—There was an active demand for store pigs, and which realised exceedingly high figures. Strong stores made 28s. to 825., and small do., to run the stubble*, 19s. to tie. a hot -- FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT AT MONMOUTE.—On day afteracion a sleuder boat, containing five men and a little boy, who steered, was proceeding along the river Wye at Monmouth, and was being rapidly carried by the strength of the stream towards the bridge. Some persons shouted to those in the boat to apprise them of their danger, but the warning arrived too late ; the boat almost immediatelyeame into collision with one of the buttresses, and split along the keel from end to end, the five men and the little boy being precipitated into the water. One man, named Rusboree, struck out and swam down the stream, and was ultimately picked up by the boats which put out to the reams. His son, the little boy, clung to an oar, and was also sued. Another man, too, snooped with his life, bat was in • very exhausted condition. The remaining three, however, were drowned, and their bodies have not yet been recovered. Their names could not he ascertained, but it is believed that they all came from Hereford, and were in the employ of the West Midland Company. SEVERE THUNDERRTORM AT MOFFAT.—A very MINIM tempest swept over the bill tract that encircles Moffat, and forms its three chief watercourses—Evan, Moffat, and Annan. At two o'clock on the morning of Saturday, an extraordinary series of lightning flashes and thunder peals, following each other in rapid su ' bunt over the three dales, and led to au immense a almost instantaneous spite in these rivers. The swollen tides rose far above the banks, and have laid a great extent at cropped '.tad ander water. A house on the banks of Use Evan, about two miles from Moffat, was lauded by the raging water, one-half of it was knocked down, furniture, farm-implements, bay, poultry, Inx, I were washed away. With difficulty the inmates lumped with their lives and saved their live stock. Ite mar, Thomas Wangh, earned his ailing daughter through** drench and the "fire-flaught" for • mile to his awed neighbours house. In the next parish—Bilpatriek4ada— there has been at Wnodfoot and Miltoos a good deal of damage done tc the crops, and some hay hu been carried off. The traffic on the railway between Buttock Station , and the summit was interrupted for a time, because the ' waters of the Evaa bad washed the ballast from below the rails. The traffic was worked upon a single line with peat caution and little speed. For eighty years a flood like this has not been seen. —North Br;tisA CHARING.CROSS RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.)

Negotiations are in progress for the purchase of the remainder, the principal portion of which will shortly be in the hands of the contractor. The progress made in the works of the railway has been sa tisfactory, and 31,1701. has been expended on that account during the ball-year, principally in connexion with the bridge across the Thames at Charing-cross. The directors have pleasure in reporting that the requisite powers have been obtained in the present session of parliament, enabling them to extend the railway into the City, tea terminal' in Cannon street. To afford the requisite accommodation for this new bailie, it has been detenuined to provide a third line of way batistes the junction of the City terminus line (a little west of Wellington-street, Borough) and the Charing Cross Bridge, to be devoted exclusively to the City and west end trains, which will thus ' , be prevented interfering with the through trains of the South Eastern Company ; and the directors are informed by their engineer that this important addition to the convenience of the railway may be provided without exceeding the original capital of the undertaking.' The CHAIRMAN, in moving the report, said—The report and accounts have already been circulated, from winch you will observe that considerable progress has been made daring the half-year. The heaviest part of the undertaking, as you are aware, is the bridge amuse the Thames at Charing-cross, but the engineer reports that the progress made at that point is satisfactory--the works being now advanced from the south bank to scar the middle of the river. The most important event that has occurred in connexion with the company during the last six months has been the passing of the act enabling us to extend the line to • terminus in Cannon-street, and thus bring the City and the Westend in direct railway communication with each other. Numerous pleas have been pos from time to time with the lame object, and many notices wen given of projects far bringing the City and West-end together by railway, ta the last session of parliament. The termini of this railway will be far more conveniently situated thee the lines which were proposed along the north bank of the Themes ; as we shall abut at one end on the Strand at Chain-twee and at the other on Canoenekest, rely about a hundred and fifty yards from the Kaneko house, the Busk of Eaglend, and the Bevel Ex We have lately arraireed to commence the works Dear Waterloo Station, with the object of connecting our rail way with the Booth-Western system from which we naturally anticipate considerable advantages, ani there is every reason to believe that the coooexion, when formed, will prove of very great convenience to the public. Mr. Atteure objected to that portion of the plan which contemplated bringing west-end passengers into the City. He believed that the expense would be enormous, and the return insitflkient. He thought that such an extensive pro- ject sisoaki Dot be thrown exclusively on the South-Eastern Company, but should be taken up by the public. Mr. BIATTIE wiled to know when any portion of the line would be open to Waterloo or Charing-cross Mr. HAW 18111•11, IVY willing to make the attempt to have the line open to Waterloo by the Ist of May, 1862, to meet the requirements of the Great Exhibition. (Hear.) He thought it possible, provided all the intervening pro perty was promptly purchased. The question was in feet one of expense, and was one niers for the consideration of the director than his own. He expected to have the whole line opened in the course of next year. Mr. Burris thought that it was of the utmost t% to im have • portion of the line open in time tor M Exhibition, and believed that the directors and shareholders would do their part. m inated Tb• report was then adopted and the proceediogs ter .

The funds to-day are firm at the closing quota tions of yesterday, with rather a favourable ten dency. This is the day for the monthly settle ment. English railway stocks continue heavy, and Great Western shows especial depres sion, baring fallen 1 per cent. The only other movement of importance is a fresh rise in Turkish Bonds and Lombardo-Venetian railway shares. Tho general tendency of prices in the Stock Exchange seems to be upwards, owing to the fine weather. The India Five per Cent. stock is better, at 99$ to j. The scrip is firm, at 100} to At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter opened at 613 fr. Mc., showing no alteration. The telegram describes the Bourse a, firm, especially as regards railway shares. Consols are officially marked 901 to 2 for money, and 901 for the 10th of September. The present quotations are 94 " sellers", for cash, and 903 to 2 for the September settlement. The official business report is as follows : Bank Stock, 235, 234, 236 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 901, ; New Three per Cents., 94, ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 993, ; ditto for account, 100, ; ditto Bonds, 10s., die. ; Five per Cent. " enfaced " rupee paper, 941 ; Exchequer Bills, March, 15s. dia.; ditto June, 35., ls., die. ; ditto small, 4s. die. Turkish Bonds are in great demand to-day. The loan of 1854 has risen per cent., and that of 1858, 1 per cent. The present quotations are, respectively, 794 to 80, and 702 to 711. There are more inquiries for Mexican bonds, which are last marked 222. Peruvian continue in good request, and are riming. Sales are recorded as follows :—Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 1003 ; ditto, for account, 1004 ; Mexican Three per Cents., for account, 221, ; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., for account, 973, 984 ; ditto Uribarren Four and-a-Half per Cents., 874 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, 794, i; ditto, for account, 70, 2, 711 ; ditto 100/. Bonds, 72&, 1. Great ease prevailed iu the discount market yesterday. An important feature is the decrease in the supply of bills, and accompanying this there is a considerable surplus of money. The rates consequently are still drooping. 41 per cent. was asked for good bills, but transactions took place in several quarters at di. In the Stock Exchange yesterday the supply of money was so considerable that 2 to 3 per cent.. could scarcely be obtained for short loans on government securities. The amount of gold bought by the Bank yester day was 160,0001., partly Australian , by the Great Britain, the 329,0 001. by this vessel aving reached London in the morning. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon the only variation of importance was a fall in the rates on Vienna, which may not be without a favourable significance in a political sense. All the other ex changes were firm. The quotations are given below.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday de clined to 10,000 bales, but the market was firm. The monthly return of the Bank of France will be published on Friday next. The appeal of Mr. T. Laurence (of Streatfeild and Co.) against the decision of Mr. Commissioner Holroyd was dismissed yesterday by the Lords Jus tices, who passed some severe comment,' on the con duct of the bankrupt. Mr. Commissioner Holroyd had refused Mr. Laurence's certificate altogether, and declined granting protection until the expire-' tion of six months. We understand that a partner in the great firm ' of Raid, Brothers, has joined the board of the Mercantile Fire Insurance Company. The directors of the East India Irrigation Com pany have issued their first report. It shows that, as stated the other day, Sir Charles Wood has con ceded to the company the interp . retation which they, in common with every one outride the India office, placed upon the terms of arrangement originally made. As by this conceabion the only obstacle which threatened to prevent the satisfactory settlement of • contract at Calcutta has been removed, the establishment of this (the first) unguaranteed company for the con struction of reproductive works in India may be said to be accomplished. Lord Canning Las already perused the draft contract which was drawn up on the company's behalf, and those portions which he suggested should be amended have been altered so as really to meet his views ; moreover, all in authority at Calcutta are desirous of lendinii a helping hand to the enterprise, the prospects of which are therefore much improved. ' Should it, independently promoted, achieve success, as is greatly to be desired, a great encouragement will be given to the flow of lotgoaranfecil capital to India. This is an object for which government assistance ought surely to be forthcoming at every point. The shareholders in the North of Europe Steam Navigation Company met yesterday at the London Tavern, to receive a further report from the liquidators of the company. The pro ceedings to seem have attracted little interest, not more than a dozen persons being present. The accounts having already appeared, it is merely necessary to observe that they were received and adopted. To questions as to what had become a all the capital of the company the liquidators pro fessed ignorance, except as to what was contained in the report in the hands of the proprietors, and with regard to the aggregate proceeds of the ships in which that capital was laid out the same an swer was returned. Mr. Abel having inquired the result of the suit in equity commenced by Captain Andrews against the liquidators, to which it was stated, in reply, that 430/. has been recovered by the liquidators. Mr. Wheeler, a late director, having being proposed by Mr. azenove, as auditor of the liquidators' accounts, it was proposed as an amendment that Mr. Abel be appointed, and upon that gentleman declining to serve the choice of the meeting fell upon Mr. Atkins. The business of the meeting thereupon terminated. A special general meeting of the London, Chat ham, and Dover Railway Company is convened for the 21st instant for the following important pur poses : _ - 1. Foraothorising, in pursuance of "The Loudon, Chatham. and Dover Railway Company (Various rowers) Act, 1664' the raising of the sum of 60,0001. by the creation and issue, ashy the said act provided, of new shares, for the purpose of paying the deferred interest due in respect of the Dover Extension Capital. 2.

At the last meeting of the directors of the Com pressed Coal Company (Limited), held at their offices in St. S wallas's-lane, it was determined to proceed without delay to the erection of their LOU don works. It is expected that in about two months the process of manufacture will be developed, s• as to extend their operations in the various cod districts. The allotment of shares is to commence on the 9th instant. TUIRDAY EVI2IIIOI Consols, which closed yesterday at 901 "buyers' for money and to-morrow's settlement, opened this morning at 901 to 1, and closed at 901 to 4.
