The River Plate and Brazilian Mail steamer C opernicus, at South amp t on, has brought £45,000; the America, from New York, £4,200 ; and the Virginia, £17,000. The subscription list of the National Peruvian Guaranteed Railway Loan of £200,000 was closed tyesterday aft ernoon f or London, and is understood o he of a substantial character. The final quota tion was 11 to 4 pm. _ tl At a m ee ti ng of the shareholders of the Hercules I surance Company it was resolved to make a call of £2 per share. According t o th e past h a lf- year ' s accoun t s o f th e South Eastern Railway Company a total net profit ra shown of £228,087, of which £105,249 is avail able_ for dividend. The directors recommend a divi dend at the rate of 21 per cent. per annum, writing off £6,000 of the cost of constructing the Waterloo Station. The directors of the Salisbury and Yeovil Ral wa peryreco onmamenomda dividend at the rate of 5 1 per cent. Advices from Alexandria state that the lowness of the Nile this year is a subject of general atten tion. It is asserted that a few days ago it was lower than it has ever been for 150 years, and this if!. doubtless correct, for the height of the Nile is most accurately observed and noted. On the other h and, there is no apprehension for the cotton crop ; but, on the contrary, the general appearance of the Plant is more favourable than at any time since the Year 1863-64, the last large crop. The Continental Union Gas Company (Limited) have announced an issue of new shares to the ex tent of £200,000, the renewal of some of the con cessions, and the modifications of others, since the formation of the company in 1864, combined with the largely increased demand for gas, having re quired a considerable additional outlay. The liquidator of the General Estates Company (Limited) has declared a first dividend of 2.3 3d. in the pound. The resignation of the Portugues Ministry is un derstood to have been consequent on the measure proposed for the settlement of the claims of the English shareholders in the South-Eastern Rail way of Portugal. For two years these shareholders have endeavoured to obtain an arrangement, but every expectation held out to them has from time to time proved delusive. At length a proposal was agreed to which, although far short not only of their rights, but also of the terms on which previous Cabinets had declared them to be entitled, would have been regarded as satisfactory, looking at the Peculiar circumstances of the case. But this pro- Posal, while it passed the Lower House by a small majority, seems to have been made the ground ofco country, which of censure by the Peers, and the try, which appeared to be on the eve of re gaining a position on the European money markets, is again thrown back into discredit. Had the measure been passed, a rather large Portuguese loan would at once have been introduced here with a fair prospect of success, but any such negotiation i 8 now out of the question. According to the latest reports from Lisbon, the Duke of Loule, uncle to the King and leader of the Constitutional Liberal party, was expected to form a new Cabinet. The Duke was Prime Minister when the concession for the South -Eastern Railway of Portugal was granted, and his repute as an honourable man is too high to admit of a belief th a t, should he accept office, he wil l dol ° on the condition of carrying out a policy of spoliation. At an extraordinary general meeting of the Bri tish Colonial Steamship Company a resolution was Passed for the voluntary winding up of the com pany, The sum of £26 2s per share of the capital has b een returned, and a further return of £ 2 10 s. will tr) be made at a n ear ly d a t e , leaving £3OO in hand r , 111 ,"t any possible contingency. a dividend he Liverp oo l St eam t ug C om p a ny have declared v iclend for the h a lf y ear ending the 30th June last °f °f 38 . upon the £lO shares, and of Is. 9d. upon the 1.

O a nu 114 PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. THURSDAY. At yesterday's sitting of the Commission M. Bongeau made along speech in support of his amendment, which proposed to extend to the Senate the right of initiative possessed by the Emperor and the Corps L6gislatif. M. Bongeau holds it to be absolutely necessary to have a counterbalance in the second chamber ; and togive it more moral influence, he proposes to elect e;ghty-nine senators by the Conseils G6n6raux, and to leaVe eighty-nine to the choice of the Emperor. Other amendments were brought forward and discu-s2d, the most noteworthy being 111. dc Sartigcs's plan of a joint deliberation of the two Chambers in case of difference ; and;ll. Hubert-Delisle's proposal for the re-establishment of the address. The latter gave rise to an animated discussion, iu which M. de la Guerroniere strongly supported the right of address. Today it 'is expected that the much-talked-of reporter will he 'nominated. M. de la Carrronibre has declined to be put iu competition, so that the choice will he between M. Bhic, the supposed nominee of It. Roubet, and M. Devienno, the representative of the most Liberal party in the Commission. AprJpcs of M. Delangle's enforced withdrawal from the olflee, it is asked whether the 'injury to his eyesight arose from too strenuous efforts to seo through the ambiguity and entanglement of the Senatus-Consultum ? It is said that Prince Napoleon has respectfully advised the Emperor to carry out the new reforms in the most liberal spirit possible, and that 'the Emperor was not indisposed to listen. The public feeling is, however, somewhat suspicious at present, and M. Itouher's influence is especially mistrusted. It is believed that he domineers over the Commission, and that the Ministers who appear to resent his interference are in reality only his tools and instruments. _ _ According to the latest accounts, all that remains for the Commission to do is to hear the Ministerial views on the two reserved articles, and to discuss the amendments. Nevertheless, it is not thought likely that the report will be completed before the 24th. The official journals deny the rumoured dispute be tween M. Rouher and M. Chasseloup-Laubat. The official severity against the press is still the constant theme, and the journals are full of arguments and appeals on behalf of the brethren of the pen. The Libert6 of this morning informs the Emperor that a prison is a very diSagreeable residence, and that the noblest and the bravest have not hesitated, in order to escape from it, to put on a mason's jacket, and carry a plank on their shoulders. It is to be hoped that this signi ficant argument by illustration will have some effect on the ex-prisoner of Ham. The Emperor, I understand, yesterday signed several decrees of amnesty for various offences. He was present with the Empress and the Presidents of the Senate and of the Corps L6gislatif at the Council of Ministers, which lasted for three hours. The Municipal Council of Bordeaux, at its sittings of the 6th of August, discussed the disturbances of last June, and the negligence of the police. Finally, the Council adopted, by 17 to 10, a resolution calling for the re establishment of the National Guard. The state of Marshal Niel is still most alarming, and the ;asst bulletin seems more unfavou►~able with respect to his condition. The weakness of the patient is said to be , extreme, and but little hopes are uow entertained of his recovery. The departure of the Einperor for the Camp at Chalons nas been delayed by a slight indispositien. It is now believed that he will not leave Paris until the fourteenth. Iliq stay at Chalons is expected to la+t over seven days. It is said that durin the last Council of Ministers neld at St. Cloud, M. de Chasseloup.Li.obat laid great stress on the importance of signalising the centenary of Napoleon by a general amnesty for all kinds of political offenders. A report pravails that the Emperor wall read a manifesto to the army at the Camp at Chalons, and that its text will be on the maintenance of order, peace, liberty, and progress. The kidnapping of children has caused great excitement in Brussels of late, and some strange stories are afloat with respect to it. Some time ago, it seems, the papers pub. fished an account of the arrest of a princess accused of killing children in order to bathe in their blood for the purpose of preserving her beauty. In consequence of this idea gaining ground, several persons who have spoken to children in the streets have been roughly handled by the crowd under the impression that they were kidnappers. A terrible accident has just occurred in a quarry near Berne. A piece of rock upwards of thirty yards high suddenly gave way and fell uprn some men who were working at the time, over whelming them under a mass of rubbish. Fifteen were found to be missing. Eight bodies were immediately dug out in a dreadful state of mutilation, and no hope was entertained of finding the others alive. IREL.4SD. DUBLIN, Aug. 12. The Horse . Show now holds the first place in our ,ocal topics, and draws an immense throng of visi tors. As a 'financial_ undertaking it is one of the greatest achievements of the Royal Dublin Society The owners of horses may return home with empty pockets, but the society will have a full exche quer. There was a largo assembly on the first d y, although the rate of admission was fixed 'at 10s., which, as regards the mass of the community, was prohibitory. Yesterday the fee was reduced, and the ❑umbers present vastly increased. It was very difficult to pass from one department of the show to another owing to the dense crowds which gorged the entrances and struggled, with varying fortune, to make their way through opposite currents. The permanent arrangements of the Agrieultura' Hall and the enclosure which occupies the site of the old Shelburne-yard afforded ample ac commodation to the animals exhibited, and en abled the public to see them to full advantage. The judges awarded the first prize to Mr. C. E. Ilawkes's b g Egg Flip, aged six years, and all who witnessed the performances ratified the deci sion. Mr W. Alexander's gr h Balloon, seven years old, obtained the second prize. Mr R. M. Sad leir's b g, five years old, took the first prize for high jumping, and Balloon the second. In the next class the winners of the prizes were a hunter owned by Mr. W. 11. Tennant, and Mr. James Long's c h Prince. The inquest at Portadown was continued yes terday. Sub-constable Walsh's evidence, which was partly heard on Tuesday, was completed. The substance was that, on returning to bar racks with a party of police, who had been a the bonfire, he saw several of his comrades who had been injured in the affray. Sub-con stable Wallace deposed that he saw a crowd of 300 persons at Quarry's Turns, and prepara tions for a bonfire. In answer to the Coroner, he stated that there was no person near the turf. He tried to induce them not to light the fire in the road. He was then despatched to the barracks to report the affair, and he met Sub-inspector Nunan, who directed another party of police to proceed to Quarry's Turns, but said, " Take care not to inter fere with the people or their fire." As they ap proached the fire drums were heard beating in all directions and fifes playing. The party he had originally been with were driven from the fire about a quarter of a' mile, and he found Sub-constable M'Loughlin bleeding from the face. A man standing near stated that he had been struck with a drum stick. At this time there came a rush of people from the direction of Portadown, and he saw policemen chased through the fields. He hastened to the place and heard persons near him say, "Don't lot him go away ;" others said, " Don't hit him.". He was attacked by two men 'named Stewart and Stanley, and knocked down senseless. Ile lost his watch and purse. :John Sturgeon, a letter carrier, was tho next witness. He swore that he saw Constable M'Loughlin struck with a drumstick on the face. The police were " bobbing around" to avoid the stones, but he did not see more than eight or ten stones altogether. Constable Kerr deposed that several volleys of stones came about his party. He ordered the men to fall back on the town, and in the retreat they were followed by a crowd, who pelted them with stones and cried out " Murder them I" He put up his hands and called upon them to stop, but they became more excited and hunted the constabtes through the fields, where eveatually some of the party took refuge in a dike, hiding for their lives behind a ditch. That continued until midnight. About half-past 12 o'clock they made their way through the meadows and reached the barracks at 1 o'clock. They were afraid of being shot on the high road. On cross-examination ho stated that the people were perfectly quiet for two hours and a half after he arrived at the bon fire. He had been told by the head constable not to permit a fire to be lighted on the road. It had been reported that Mr. Gladstone was to be burnt in effigy. lie did not think it judicious to carry out his orders and prevent the people from light ing the fire, although early in the evening he might have been able to do so. The inquiry was again adjourned. The committee passed a resolution :expressing their concurrence with the first resolution adopted 1 SPORTING I by the archbishops and bishops at their recent meeting, recommending the assembling of a general Synod, but they regret the decision respecting the Conference. A nun who is labouring under insanity jumped out of a window 30 or 40 feet high in the Dingle Convent, and had a narrow escape of being killed on the spot. Her foot caught a wall in her descent, and this broke the force of the fall. She has suf fered very severe injuries, however, and is now in the Killarney Lunatic Asylum.

Mr. 11. 13alen Pritchard, of the General Photo graphic Establishment of the War 'Department, read a very interesting paper at a recent ineethig of the United Service Institution on the applica, tion of photogrally to military purposes. The author stated that the first time photography was used in connection with military matters was dining the Crimean War, when Lord Paninure, then Secretary of State for War, conceived the idea of securing some photographic records of the cam paign. The series of pictures produced, or at least a great number of them, were, he believed, stored up at the War-office. There was reason to fear that they would be found on examination to have faded considerably. At the time they were pro duced the Art was still in its infancy, and many of the manipulations exercised were of an experimental character. Since that time the art had progressed to a wonderful degree, and the necessity of diffusing a knowledge of the subject bad been so fully appreciated by the autho rities of the War Department that a school of in struction had been formed for the special purpose of instructing classes of young soldiers in its de tails. This school, which formed a portion of the Royal Engineer Establishment at Chatham, and was under the direction of Captain Stotherd, R.E., had been of considerable benefit to the service. During the recent Abyssinian campaign a staff of photographers, instructed and equipped from this establishment, had been attached to the Quarter- General's Department, and had done good in copying maps and sketches of the route, taking pictures of objects and points of in- master service and in terest of which a record was considered desirable. The author then addressed himself for a shore time to the applications of the process made prac tical by the non-combatant portion of the service. One of the most important uses to which the pro cess was applied was the copying of maps, plans, designs, and rare MSS., as practised at the Ordnance Survey-office, Southampton. In this establishment the process of photo-zincogrophy, the invention of Colonel Sir 11. James, R.E., had been carefully ela borated, and had been employed NN ith such unequi vocal succas that the Governments of France, Prusia, Austria, Belgium, and America had adopted it with more or less moiitica.tion. In addition to the muNplication of special maps for warlike pur poses, valuable service had bo,ea done in the estab lishment at Southamp.on by the repro auction of rare and curious MS. fae-similes of the Great and Little Domesday Books, bound up in 33 imperial quarto vols., and also of the national MS. of England and Scotland, without the necessity of tampering in any way with the originals. At the general photogra phic establishment—a branch of the chemical de partment at Woolwich, under the direction of Pro fessor Abel, F.R.S., the camera was employed in many ways. All experimental structures, such as shields, guns, small arms, waggons, or rockets were photo graphed. The results of firing experimentally against iron plates of different thicknesses were re produced ; pictures for purposes of instruction, showing the method of working guns of different descriptions, and the positions taken up by indivi dual gunners on the issue of various orders were taken, photographs exhibiting the regulation mode of wearing accoutrements, the precise manner in which the harness of horses should be adjusted, the method of packing waggons and fitting ser vice saddles, and the mode in which military tents and equipages are set up were also included in the collection of the institution. Prints from the ne gatives were issued to various departments of the army, both in England and India. Photography could be usefully and economically employed in the construction and preservation of patterns at Woolwieh And other manufacturing stations. Returning to the subject of the employment of photography in the field, he said that the avowed purposes for which the art was used in that case had been for reproducing and copy ing maps and plans, and taking pictures of fin portaut localities and interesting objects. In dis cussing the importance of this part of the system, he said that during the Abyssinian campaign as many as 30 copies had been prepared and distributed to brigadiers and others within 21 hours after the original plan of certain places had been sketched. He thought it advisable that copies of field maps intended to be of a lasting character should be printed on linen, cambric, or silk. He recommended that landscape views should be taken, not only on account of the particular interest they possessed as such, but also on account of their value to an army in the field. Sketches of an enemy's position might be obtained at a considerable distance without much risk of danger. He himself had obtained a picture of a building two miles distant from the camera. The camera might also be used as a theodolite, and the distance between the reconnoitring party and the enemy's position accurately and rapidly deter mined, supposing the actual dimensions of the enemy's fort or intrenchment to be known. The camera might also be used in the production of landscape pictures to illustrate the ground plan or sketch of route. He then explained the manner in which these field pictures should be taken and the advantages accruing from their existence. The progress of works might also be ascertained by means of photographs, and this system of ascer taining the rate at which works were proceeding had been adopted by several firms of contrac tors. The remainder of the essay, which contained several novel and interesting suggestions, was occupied with a discussion on the respective values of different kinds of plates used in photography, and on the methods of preserving pictures taken by means of the camera. At its conclusion a cordial vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Pritchard for hie elaborate paper. COURSE OF EXCHANGE. Amsterdam - Short ... 11 191 ... Do Rotterdam — ... 12 2 ...

There is no general inquiry, as many spinners are well supplied with stocks. The slackness of business is against the maintenance of late prices ; in the case of needy sellers it is less a question of price than one of securing a cus tomer. The market, therefore, is getting more irregular. In the hosiery trade there is a little more doing. Buyers who have hitherto held back are now generally making their arrangements, and, although the orders that aro coming in are smaller than usual, there is altogether morn general employ , ment for the operatives. A steady improvement seems to have set in in the elastic web branch. Manufacturers who for some time have only been partially working their mills aro now increasing their production, and speak hopefully of the future. Some good orders have lately been placed, both for the home and shipping markets. TOWN SELLING STAKES. Grillade c Hilda Clarionetto Six ran. FOREST HANDICAP.

A minute examination has been made by engi neers of the boiler of the steam-tug Alice, which blew up in the river ou Wednesday. It was 2fr tons in weight, and was made at a Glasgow foun dry a few months ago. It was a portion of the body of one of the crew on board the tug, and the rest of it has not been found. Only one complete body has been picked up, viz., that of the stoker, a lad of 17 years of ago, named Josephs, upon whose body an inquest was opened to-day, and adjourned after fame further evidence had been given respecting the make of the boiler on board the vessel. CHARGE OF MURDER. At the Mansion House to-day ain named Joseph Kay, aged 42, described as a wine cooper, living at .95, Palace-road, Hackney, was brought be fore the Lord Mayor, and charged on his own con fession with the murder of two of his children, Louisa Ellen, aged three years and nine months, and Leonard Henry, aged one year and eight months, by cutting their throats with a table knife while they were asleep in bed. The police, however, made some inquiries into the matter, and found the prisoners statement un true, but the Lord 11ayor ordered him to be de trined with a view of undergoing au examination as to the state of Lis mind. Race Glasses, byVoigllinder, are now no longer the ox. elusive luxury of the rich. Since the great demand for photographic lenses has diminished, au opportunity has boon afforded for applying mechanical power with the greatest success, whereby the cost of those beautiful and most perfect instruments is reduced iu price in some instances to as much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now no dearer than those of the best French or English makers. At the depot Callaghan, 23A, Now Bond-street, corner of Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulge their taste in the possession of a veritable Voigtliinder at comparatively trilling cost. It is superfluous to say the quality is as ever matchless. 1 1141 vot ed ' )r tli° TO ffl' icil ;JAY/ ( bO/ 0 al )la ce : 213051' flg " tbeit 010 t° sola aSS• rgo- Liror
