MONEY MARKET. --- o --- CITY NEWS—YESTERDAY. The number of applicants to-day at the counting house of Messrs. Robinson and Fleming to inspect the samples of prepared jute, under the patent of Messrs. Thorason and Co., of Dundee, was very great. Those among them who are woollen spin ners are stated generally to have expressed a de cided opinion as to the value and adaptability of the material for mixing with woollen manufac tures. The cotton spinners also seemed disposed to consider that it will answer very well for mixing with cotton in the manufacture of clothes, although not for use alone as an entire substitute for cotton. It is said that one cotton spinner has already for some time past used ordinary jute in conjunction with cotton in the manufacture of coarse cloths, and there is apparently no doubt whatever that the new preparation will be far more suitable for the purpose. It is stated that the quantity of jute now afloat to London is 4,342 tons against 5,157 at the cor responding period of last year, and to Liverpool 3,250 tons against 2,456, so that the aggregate is almost exactly the same as at that period. In the colonial produce markets this week there has been no further change, with the exception of the extraordinary advance paid upon various fibres likely to be used as substitutes for cotton. The rise on jute since the 3d instant exceeds 50 per cent. Sugar is in moderate demand, at last week's prices. Operations of some extent occurred in saltpetre at the close of last week on Liverpool account, since when the market became rather quiet. To-day 395. 6d. to 40s. per cwt. was paid for arrivals. Cargo Bengal rice has found steady buyers, part of the recent purchases being for distillation in France. The tea market is firm, and owing to fresh arrivals the quantity sold by private contract has been larger than that last week. Common Congou rules from ls. Old. to ls. ld. ; blackish leaf Ning Chou, is. 4d. to'ls. Id. ; Oopack and Moning, ls. Bd. to 2s. 52: per lb. The supply of green has increased, but there is no change in prices to notice. At the public sales, which commenced y esterday, the Assam descriptions obtained the full valuations. Coffee fully ~‘tiaintains its former position, and the conti nental azivices seem to indicate a favourable result of the Dutch sale on the 17th inst. Singapore sorts have been sold to a considerable extent here, at ex treme rates, by private contract. An instalment of 20 per cent. falls due on the .17th inst. on the Peruvian Loan for £5,500,000 stock. £B,OOO in gold was bought by the Bank to-day. The steamer Glasgow from New York has brought about £57,000 in specie. _ _ _ The monthly statement of the Bank of France, published to day, shows a falling off in the stock of specie of £540,000.. The foreign exchanges this afternoon presented no alteration of importance. At Vienna yesterday an improvement of 4 to per cent. took place in the Austrian funds. At Paris and Berlin the rate of discount is 3 per cent.; at Vienna and St. Petersburg, 5 ; at Ham burg and Amsterdam, 31; at Frankfort and Brus sels, 21 ; and at Turin, 41 per cent. The Liverpool cotton market to-day was de cidedly firmer, and prices showed an upward ten dency. The demand for mcney was brisk, and little busi ness+ was done below 2 per cent. At the Bank of England the applications were to a fair extent, and it was noticed that some of the discount brokers have yesterday and to-day applied for the advance usual at this period of the quarter. The half yearly meeting of the Tewkesbury and .Malvern Railway Company is called for the 30th Inst., and will be made special, to authorise the company to borrow the sum sanctioned by their act of 1862. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Paris Three per Cent. Relates to-day opened at 69f, 55c., being I per cent. better than yes terday. There is a fair demand for discount accommoda tion, and the rates remain without change. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £599,000, and the exports, £727,000. A dividend at the rate of 6 per cent, will be pay able on and after the 10th proximo to the proprie tors of the lonian Bank. The traffic receipts of the Melbourne and Hob son's Bay Railway, for the month ending the 17th inst., amounted to £5,005, against £5,367 in the corresponding period of 1861. Very little change has taken place in the Eng lish Stock Market, although the tendency has been unfavourable. Consols for money are 932 a, and for the Bth Oct., 93a.

Dickinson, of 28, Webb's County-terrace, New Kent-road; and John Hasham, of 95, Elm-street, Gray's-inn-road, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned, with others not in custody, in stealing 400 yards of cloth, of the value of £lOO, the property of Mr. W. Fisher, of 13 and 14, King-street, Hol born, cloth worker. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, prose cuted, and Mr. L. Lewis defended. Mr. L. Lewis having opened the case, called Mr. Albert Fisher, of 20, Kingsgate-street, Holborn, who said he assisted his father, who worked for Messrs. Landon and Holland, woollen merchants, of Bond-street. At the beginning of the month he had 28 pieces of cloth, the pro perty of Messrs. Landon and Holland, and sent it home in the cart by his brother, telling his brother, after he had seen it packed, to deliver it. Had since ascertained from those gentlemen that only 18 pieces had been delivered. The pieces stolen contained about 40 yards, and 400 yards of the value of XlOO, had not been delivered. Last Saturday he accompanied his brother and Haslam to the Elephant and Castle, and after waiting a short time he (witness) saw Johnson and Dickens, who were fetched by his brother and Haslam, and he followed them. Heard Haslam ask the two other prisoners whether there was any chance of getting the cloth back, as there was a row about it, and they said " No." He heard his brother ask them for money, and after his brother came out of a public-hcuse he showed him £2, which he had re ceived from Johnson. His (witness's) father being absent he did not like to take any steps then. By Mr. J. Lewis —I do not know where my brother is. I heard him say that he wished to go to sea. I have not heard from him. My brother confessed to me that the goods had been stolen, and said it was all through Haslam, or he should not have done it. I heard brother say he wanted money to get off to sea with. Sergeant Joy, 9 C, said he went in company with last witness to Haslam's house, 5 Elm-street, Gray's-inn-lane, and he said on seeing him (Joy), " I know what you have come for. I've had no rest since I was concerned with others in stealing cloths from Mr. Fisher, and if you will, allow me to go with you I will point out the men concerned in it," and he accompanied him , (Juy) to Johnson's house and then to Dickinson's residence. Subsequently the whole of the prisoners were taken into custody, when Haslam said Johnson and Dickinson were the men who assisted in stealing the cloth and selling it, but they denied it. The prisoners were then remanded for a week, bail being refused. WESTMINSTER. ANOTHER ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Ann Billingham, a young woman of prepossessing appearance, 22 years of age, described as a servant, of 11, Northumberland-place, Com mercial-road East, Whitechapel, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Ingham, charged with attempting to commit suicide, by throwing herself into the Thames, at Chelsea. Richard Shaw, a waterman, Lawrence -court, Lawrence street, Chelsea, said that at about eight o'clock last night he was standing on the raft at Mr.Coates', the boat builder, Cheyne-row, Chelsea, waiting for a boat to come in that had been let out, when he saw the prisoner come down the steps. He asked her what she wanted, and as she made him no answer, ho thought she was a bargeman's wife going off to a barge. and took no more notice of her. On turning round again presently, however, he saw her up to her waist in the water, and ran up the steps for assistance. When he came down again she was out of the water, but as he made towards her she jumped in, and was floating down the river, but he caught hold of her clothes and dragged her ashore. He asked her what she had done it for, but she made him no reply, and he fetched a constable who took her into custody. Police -constable 319 V said that he was called to take the prisoner into custody. She gave no account of herself, but at the station said she was very low-spirited, and was very sorry for what she had done. Mr. Ingham asked prisoner what she had to say in answer to the charge. Prisoner said she had nothing to say. Mr. Ingham remanded her for a week, and directed her friends, who were present, to attend on that day. SOUTHWARK. A YORKSHIREMA.N VICTIMISED.—A young man, who gave the name of John White, who is well-known to the police under the alias of Barker, was charged with stealing a silver watch from the person of Mr. Joseph Strickland, a manufacturer in business at Farabury, near Leeds, in Yorkshire. It appeared that the prosecutor had come to London for the purpose of seeing the Foresters' fete at the Crystal Palace, last Monday, and on his return was proceeding from the station at London-bridge up the Borough, accom panied by a friend, with the intention of taking an omnibus to Kingsland, where he was lodging. When he came to the corner of Union-street, he and his friend stopped in order to allow a pro cession of teetotallers' to pass, and while ho was standing there he felt some person press against his side, and he perceived the prisoner running away. He ira. , mediately missed his watch, which had been broken off the chain. His friend informed him that he had seen the pri soner in the most deliberate manner place himself against him, and snatch his watch out of his waistcoat pocket, and then he caught hold of the prisoner. A struggle ensued, but he succeeded in detaining him until a police constable came up, to whom he gave him into custody, notwithstand ing that some of the prisoner's companions attempted to rescue him. The watch was not found, as the prisoner in all probability passed it to one of his associates, who are well known thieves in the neighbourhood. Some amusement was caused by the energetic manner in which the prosecutor gave his testimony, and his evident, mortification, as a Yorkshireman, at being robbed, even by a London thief. The prisoner, who denied the charge, was committed for trial. MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN HOLBORN. Yesterday Dr. Lankester, the Central Middlesex coroner, opened an inquest at the Queen's Arms, Red Lion-passage, Holborn, upon the body of Eliza Chandler, aged thirty years, the wife of an assis tant at Prosser's oyster shop, in Holborn, and re siding at 13, Red Lion -street. _ ~. It appeared from the report of the police and from the evidence adduced that the deceased was discovered last Tuesday night by a Mrs. Perkins lying in the passage of No. 12, Hand-court, Red Lion-street, apparently drunk and incapable. With the assistance of some lodgers in the house, who were friends of the deceased, Mrs. Perkins conveyed her to a room where she was laid on a sofa, and, being supposed to be drunk, she was suffered to re main there unnoticed until the following morning, when, on an attempt being made to arouse her, she was found quite dead. Mr. Sheen, a tailor, living at 12, Hand-court, missedd appearede e ease h d e rt u oo p nb s upstairs , i i r a s o h nf e ilg r ighuto D frr. e o c m eased deposed that on his return home on the night in question he found Mrs. Perkins attempting to get r under e a t n u the d r n h h e influence o m as e s i t s h te a d t Henry Chandler said deceased was his wife. He bu siness. The following morning he received a mes sage from 12, Hand -court stat i ng there ill. His first question she was lying was, has she cut her throat or poisoned :h g erself i r viously attempted suicide He because she had pre- Hand-court, and at one; found her lying dead in Mr. Valpy, surgeon, ofseGutrafor Dr. Valpy. that he attended upon the decetisei a nn a - u l d ane, deposed f she had been seriously inj ure d at the ba o c u l i r ld o of th that head. He performed a post mortena examination of the body, and discovered a severe fracture of the skull over the back of the head and great bruises and depression on the bone. Internally it was as certained that the occipital bone was fractured nearly under the seat of the bruises extending from the upper part of the back of the head to the base of the skull, with considerable effusion of blood. He examined the brain, and found clots correspond ing with the depressed surface of the bone, and con siderable - effusion. All the other organs of the body were quite healthy. The cause of death was from fracture of the skull. _ By the Coroner—He could ot conceive that it was caused but by a very severe blow. It teas not, in his opinion, such a fracture as nit he produced from falling downstairs, The Coroner thought it unnecessary to examine further witnesses at present, as the case assumed tooserious p a n ic a e t r ur e e , o f h to tbee E at once disposed of. Inspector division police, pro duced a large stone which he said w as k e pt to a fasten back a door at the foot of the stairs where deceased if t was he found deeea s e d fe fell back insensible, kan e cl ainst that stone he desired to know in a state of drunkenness, whether such injuries would rot be likely to be produced. Mr. Valpy was quite sure no fall would produce such injuries. n to enable the poilichee t C o o m r o al e e r an adj i u n u v r e n s e t a thetion inquiry , of the affair, 1 THIRD EDITION.

(BY UNITED KINGDOM ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY.) The extraordinary interest felt in this execution was proved by the fact of the gaol being visited on Friday by a larger number of persons than had ever been known previ ously. Several hundreds remained on the spot during the whole night. The crowd was not at all confined to the lowest class, there being several well-dressed gentlemen, and even some of the other sex—all of whom, to comfort themselves through the somewhat chilly night, were hud dled together among the warm bricks in the kilns hard by. Every point commanding a prospect of the wretched scene was crammed with the boisterous mob. Taylor still re mained obdurate to the earnest ministrations of the chap lain, the Rev. Mr. Appleton, but as the fatal moment approached he seemed to relax into a better frame of mind. Ward was thoroughly resigned to his fate, and seemed quite penitent. An immense number of labourers and operatives apparently from the vicinity of Manchester and Ashton were present, and we saw many of them who had walked all the way from those towns to witness the execution. By half-past 10 the crowd had reached fully 50,000. Several of the worst class amused themselves by singing ribald songs, and cracking vulgar jokes, having a bearing upon the occasion, whilst a few infatuated, but doubtless, well-meaning individuals in black, improved upon the opportunity by distributing religious tracts, sing ing melancholy hymns, and addressing the populace ; their solicitations were, however, unheeled entirely. A strong body of police under the charge of Mr. Superintendent Ride were upon the spot. People continued to pour in with such rapidity from all directions that at 12 o'clock it was computed there were folly 100,000 persons in front of the drop. . In shocking disregard for the awful position of the two men who were about to expiate their crimes on the scaffold the motley throng was swayed to and fro by the horrible levity of thousands who seemed to appreciate the exhibi tion as an exciting show. Loud shouts of laughter, in human gibes, not of hardened men, merely, but of showily dressed women, too, rose from the dense multitude. As the dreadful hour approached, these scenes became less boisterous, and a feeling of awe seemed to creep involun tarily upon every one present. Shortly before noon Calcraft, accompanied by the Go vernor, Captain Gibbs, Superintendent Ride, and other officers, came out upon the scaffold. The old executioner, who seemed ashamed of showing his face, having found that the arrangements were satisfactory, re tired amid loud shouts of derision. Contrary to ex pectation the groat bell was not tolled, and it was seven minutes past 12 when, without announcement, the un happy criminals, pale and pinioned, stepped out upon the drop. Now every voice was hushed—there were gibes no longer. A sickening:and painful sensation overcame all sub ject to human feelings. Beside the poor fellows stood the chaplain and governor of the gaol, Mr. Thomas Wright, the prison philanthropist, and other gentlemen, whilst Calcraft, with business-like alacrity at once set about draw ing the white caps over the pale faces of the condemned, and adjusting the ropes. Both men appeared in their ordinary clothes. The appearance of Taylor had undergone no perceptible alteration since his trial beyond a slight twitching of the features and hands which appears natural to him. He was perfectly cool and self-possessed, clasped his hands, smiled at the throng, and bowed lowly and frequently as well as the manacles would allow. Ward was as cool as it is possible to conceive. On meeting the eye of some comrade in the front he nodded to him familiarly, and then looked around as if to find some other friend. Calcraft was! busy with the ropes while Mr. Wright addressed a few earnest words to the culprits, and the chaplain real the usual services with loud emphasis and solemnity, the re sponses of Ward being heard distinctly, at a distance of 50 yards. Then the bolt was drawn and the condemned murderers were launched into eternity almost without a struggle. A fierce shout of execration greeted Calcraft on the completion of this work. We understand that Taylor has made no statement in reference to the doaths of his children further than that they were not occasioned by chloroform or wet cloths, but by some simple medicine, which caused no pain. He has not been visited since the departure of his wife, but she wrote him daily up to Friday. Ward was, on Friday, seen by his wife and two children, and the interview is said to have been of the most heart rending description. MARKETS-TIIIS DAY. COVENT GARDEN.

Nelly Armstrong. By the author of " Rose Douglas." Bentley. This is the latest issue of Mr. Bentley's half crown series of standard novels, and is a simple, in teresting, and well told tale. It depict s the tempta tion and fall of a heroine in humble life who leaves the country for s erv i ce i n Edinburgh, tube r© s h e i s seduced, abandoned, forced to take to the streets, but is rescued by the efforts of a former mi s t ress, though only to die of a decline. The picture draw n of the condition of the lower classes of Edinburgh (but which is applicable to all our great cities) i s evidently drawn from observation, and is, we fear, only too true. We give an extract from this picture of the work : "It was a very small room, but lit contained two beds besides an infant's cradle, and Mr. Duncan informed Mary that its inmates every night amounted to eleven. Five of them were at present within—a very old woman being one of them—but the rest, with the exception of the person who opened the door, were children. For this hole the family had to pay a high rent, which at that time they could ill afford, as the father was out of work. Their neighbours, too, both above and below, were of the worst description. "'But,' as the poor woman said, how could they help themselves? Working folks couldn't easily get houses to suit them, and they had just to take what they could get. The thing she most disliked about their present situation was, that her children were making ac quaintances in the wynd, which she could not prevent, and were learning bad ways. The air, too, was so foul that none of them were strong. The old mother, besides, was very bad with rheumatism, and they had little to cover her with, for they had been obliged to part with some of their blankets to the pawnshop to keep body and soul together lately.' "It was a painful account. Mary was glad to pull out her purse again, thankful that it was in her power to relieve immediate necessity. She then retired with tears in her eyes. " Ay, it is hard for such as them to live in this neigh bourhood, Miss Elliot,' said the missionary, who observed the impression upon her feelings. ' But the worst of it is, that their bairns will never be so decent as themselves; they will sink lower. The sights here, besides the filth and the foul air, have a vitiating effect upon the mind. The woman knows this, and I have witnessed it again and again myself.' "'Can they not get houses elsewhere ?' asked Mary. "'More than they could afford to pay for. The working classes have little choice in Edinburgh, and the conse quences of living in such a locality are dreadful. That family now is still struggling on in a poor but a respectable way. They have not been above half a year here. But they will probably end as others have done before them. They lose heart at length—for the bad air here has a most depressing effect upon the spirits—and then either father or mother, perhaps both, will take to drinking, after which the course down the hill is fearfully rapid. I know it by experience. Oh I Miss Elliot, I often feel my courage fail when I witness these things ; but it is God's work, and I dare not desert it.' " Britons Robbed, Tortured, and Murdered in Peru. From the Pen of Captain Malville White, M.E. Hardwicke, Piccadilly. A third edition of the little work in which Capt. Melville White details his wrongs and those of some of his fellow-countrymen in Peru is now pub lished, and it will no doubt have the effect of strongly directing attention to the state of affairs in that wretched country. The subject, however, belongs rather to the domain of politics than of lite rature, and it is, seemingly, now under the consi deration of Government. SPEECH OF 7HE KING OF POII7tNAI. The King opened the Cortes in person on the 4th inst., on which occasion he made the following speech : " Worthy Peers and Representatives of Portugal, —The day on which I find you assembled around the constitutional throne, strengthening the ties of affection and mutual confidence between the Crown and the nation, has always been one of sincere plea sure to me. On the present occasion my satisfac tion is so much the greater on this account that I consider as fortunate for myself, and as offavourable augury for the country, the motive Which has in duced me to call you together in extraordinary ses sion in accordance with the requirements of the political code—the basis of public liberty, in solemnly announcing to you that I have chosen for my wife the Moat Serene Princess Maria Pia of Savoy, daughter of his Majesty the King of Italy, I was certain that in your approbation of the con tract of marriage I should find a new confirmation of the flattering hopes which my future marriage promises to realise, by associating with my perso nal happiness the splendour of the throne and the wishes of the nation. The testimonies of devotion with which in the last ordinary session you received the news of my approaching marriage, and the af fectionate demonstrations by which the country has given me new and precious proofs of its loyalty and attachment, impose upon me the duty of thank ing you, and also the people of Portugal, for the interest taken in my personal happiness and in the prosperity of my dynasty. Worthy peers and deputies,—My ministers will lay before you the marriage contract recently signed at Turin, and I hope your vote will express, in conformity with the sentiments which for ages have marked the gene rous character of the nation, the spontaneous sym pathy with which it accepts an alliance which dates from the establishment of the monarchy. The ses sion is opened." 71IE IRON 7RADE IN AMERICA. From the letter of an old and very intelligent correspondent we quote the following remarks, hav ing reference to the prospects of our iron trade in the United States :—" The Pacific Railway bill has passed, and it will be commenced next year, if not before; this will consume 360,000 tons of rails and railway iron, the great bulk of which must come from England, and be shipped to the Pacific ports. Other gigantic public works are in contemplation also, which must have a very beneficial effect on the iron manufactures of England, for it must be re membered the manufacturers of this country can only keep pace with the increase of population, and scarcely that. Wages are too high here for the manufacturers to enter into competition with Dig" llnd, let them put whatever duties they may on im ports ; beside, the people will not stand prohibitory tariffs in times of peace here. Therefore, let ourcr Government at hom e k eep qu i et, an d not interfere if e in any w a y w i t h t h e affairs of the Americali they do it w ill b e a very suicidal policy ' to their interests." manufac turers Kanawha The same correspondent addsti t ' be now, they and the price is Salt works are in full operation, by the cargo. turers are making fortunes ; tho_f i ' b _ s.); from 15 to 20 cents. per bushel : n u ts. manufacturers are are obtaining from 30 to 50 0 Army ::contractors and g,u money generally is an re a markably cheap, eon very busy everywhere, butareforeign produce—coffee, plentiful, Provisions sidering the times; dea r, just cent. per cent, tea, sugar, &c.—is beforevery dear, the war.

MANCHESTER, SEPT. 12.—We have had very little business to-day in either yarns or cloths, and exact quotations in these, as in cotton, are rather difficult to get hold of. The Prices of cotton were reported here yesterday as 4d. per lb. under the extreme rates quoted a week to ten days ago, bat to-day they are reported at a decline of not more than 171 d. So, in cloth, the quotations were reported 61. per piece lower on Tuesday for sellers, but so far as we can learn there have been very few people willing to sell at more than a nominal decline. But in yarn and cloth, as in cotton, there is extremely little business doing. The sellers of yarn say they have found a consider ably improved feeling for all descriptions ; holders of yarn and speculators are very sanguine that we shall yet see much higher prices, and are holding on the faith of this improvement. The accounts from all parts of this district warrant the belief that many more mills will be closed than at present as soon as the present stocks of cotton are worked up, and the extremely small sales of cotton at Liver pool this week confirm this belief. The total sales to last night from the previous Thursday (inclusive were which 5,300 on l y were to the trade, 12,700 bales, of The consequen ce i s that the stocks of yarn are reported to be getting within a very small com pass, and a pretty general opinion prevails that we shall see a renewal of speculative operations next week on a considerable scale. There is not much doing for consumption, and most of the yarn in the market is held on account of speculators. The tele grams from Calcutta are rather favourable, but at present prices we hear of but little disposition to purchase for export. The general opinion expressed; on the Exchange with regard to the proposed sub.. stitute for cotton is unfavourable. We speak of that offered in London. Persons who have seen the staple say that the appearance of it leads to a favourable impression, but that on trial it would prove too brittle for spinning by the machinery now in use, and that on this ground alone, however suitable it might be in other respects, it must fail of general acceptance. Cloths are regaining firmness to-day. It is still relatively much cheaper than cotton, and the holders of stocks, who are mostly speculators, at in e di o ' 4 ,. i d e p s e of are consequently encouraged to keep possessiein cloths () e t h s hope ure s o a f i d higher to b e prices. pur cha b u 2 e f3 s _e.r tn lb. under the cu rren t rate of yarn; and this is no doubt the reason of so many mills general opinion among the sellers of cloth to-day is„ that by holding they will yet be able to get some thing beyond the extreme rates recently obtained. This is the general opinion, and although, as above, stated, there have been no sales worth mentionir.g, cloths of all kinds are held with much tenar'ty. . The regular merchants are still almost entirely shut out of the market by speculators, and hence, thougk we have telegrams from Calcutta to the 26th ult. of a favourable character, they have led to no busi ness for export, It is believed that a good deed of business could have been done at the rates f o yester day, but prices are firm, and close with an upward tendency. THE RAILWAY. An average day's work of the railways of the United Kingdom in 1861 war.„ to carry 500,000 pas sengers, 258,000 tons of 'minerals and merchandise, 35,000 live stock, 1,10,0 dogs, and 740 horses. The precise number the travellers of the year can not be state',, because there is no record of the journeys of season ticket-holders ; but it must have been more than six times the number of the population of the United Kingdom. The trains, passenger and goods trains added together, tra velled 2,897,748 miles more than in 1861 than in /860, which is equivalent to going round the world 116 times more last year than in the year before. 3,881,990 trains ran in the course of the year ; that is to say, upwards of 10,600 a day, or more in a day than seven times the number of minutes in the day. If the trains had been equally distributed, running night and day without ceasing, they would have travelled among them 200 miles in every minute. The length of the line open increased by 436 miles, and bPrtame 10,869 miles ; and the gross receipts of the year £28,565,355, considerably exceeded the interest of the national debt, and amounted to about L i 8 per cent. on th e cap it a ) . T he total raised by shares Li and loans increased from £348,130,127, at the end of 1860, to £362,327,338, an increase of more than £14,000,000 in the year. The working expendi ture rose to above 48 per cent., and net receipts only increased by about £130,000, or less than one per cent. on the increase of capital. The net receipts were rather over 4 per cent. on capital. 284 persons were killed upon railways in the course of the year, and 883 injured; but the accidents to passenger trains in which passengers were killed or injured were but 43 in number, causing the death of 46 passengers and injury to 781 more—one passenger killed or in jured in about 220,000. In addition to this 14 ac cidents were reported to the Board of Trade in which no passenger was injured, and 20 passengers were killed through getting into or out of trains in motion, and 13 more through their own misconduct or want of caution.

CANADIAN PAR TRIDGES, A correspondent of a contempo rary wr it es as follows :—I amsomewhat amused a t th e sta t ement given Mr. Taylor, of R amsey, about the sup posed effect produced on tw o o f h i s patients and a cat Canadian partridges. According to Mr. Taylor's account i t was something akin to nc b ofy eating paralysis, nea r ly resulting in death in the case of ° e the ng patients. To make the case the more bby a l a rming . , Mr. Taylor assures us that " the birds I were perfectly fresh, having been packed in ice." Now, as I h ave li ved over 40 years in Canada,— that is, ever since I was born,—l must be permitted to express some surprise at this assumption against my country-bi r d the partridge, and I h ave slain and eaten many hundreds, if not thousands, of them in my time. During the last two winters they were unusually abundant and fine in Lower Canada, and I seldom dined without a slice of this delicious but agree a ble effects bird, from it. but never ex perienced anything Mr. Taylor says, " It is reported to be known in Canada that these birds are sometimes poisonous ; that when the snow is long on the ground they are driven by hunger to feed on the berries of some shrub added,bwhich make s th e i r fl es h unsafe for human food." Th e d octor might, from his own experience, h " also for feline food." But it seems strange that the birds themselves should survive the Poisonous effects of the berries and still retain so much of the virus in their flesh as to poison women and cats. To have sustained his assumption, Mr. Taylor should have had a careful chymical analysis made of the remainder of the " case of partridges," or, at least, of the bits which he doubtless caused to be " emetted," if he will allow me to coin a word, from the stomachs of his patients. He should also have ascertained what else his patients and the cat had dined on. The importance of making these investigations may be judged of from what occurred to myself on Saturday last. Having lunched on a score of oysters, I dined about three hours later at the Exhibition, and was shortly after taken vio lently ill. On returning home I stated my case to my medical adviser, who asked me what I had eaten. I said " Oysters for lunch," think ing of what I had often heard of English oysters, that they were more or less poisonous, from their being supposed to feed on deposits of copper at the bottom of the sea. The Doctor asked, fresh'` what did you dine on ?" I replied, ° b n i „ boiled beef, which they give you at the .u 4 beef." • , corne a capital for that honoured English dish, yes, th m e ay eo- fi cal d le . d t " Nothing else ?" says the Doctor.
