Probably they are more than double that amount. No ]ate returns appear to have been issued, but it is stated that eight years ago the total was £7,249,924, and since that time th e office has purchased and absorbed the business of other companies, whose career had been incom patible with the'prolongation of an independent ex istence. The Albert was established in 1838. BY a telegram received from Bombay we learn th at at a meeting of the New Bombay Bank a divi dend at the rate of 6 per cent. was declared, the r emaining profits being appropriated as recom- Mended in the directors' report. It was stated on Saturday that " the French Go vernment have authorised the French Atlantic Tele gra ph Company to lay a submarine cable be tween Brest and England." According to the following note the authority would appear to have been given to the Submarine Telegraph Company, ou behalf of the French Atlantic Company:— Sub marine Telegraph Co., 58, Threadneedle-street, Aug. 14. Sir,— Will you kindly allow me to correct a statement in your city article of to-day respecting a submarine telegraph cable to be laid down be tween Brest and England ? No concession has been, or could be, granted to the French Atlantic Company to lay any such cable, but the Preach Government having expressed their willing ness to allow the Submarine Telegraph Company to establish this communication, and employ it ex ehlaivelY for the transmission of messages to and fro m America, arrangements are being made be tween the Submarine Company and the French Atlantic Company for the immediate construction of the proposed line.—l have the honour to be, sir, Your obedient servant, J.

As coon as they received the iptelligence of the death of Marshal Niel, the Emperor and Empress sent messages of condolence to the Marchioness. The Emperor was much affected at the loss he had sustained, and proposes to write a special letter to the widow of the War Minister ' which will ho made public. The funeral of the late Marquis will take place at the public expense. The vacancy caused by his death will not be filled up at once, but it is believed that the Duke of Magenta, Marshal MacMahon, will be Marshal Niel's successor, and not Marshal Bazaine, whose name has been mentioned in some quarters. The public interest in the labours of the Commission is somewhat on the wane. There is little doubt as to the result of the vote in the Senate, and as the Temps quietly remarks, " the difference between the minimum of liberty which the Senate, under the circumstances, cannot refuse, and the maximum which it might adopt, is not sufficient to excite much interest." The eighth sitting of the Com• mission finds it without having either completed the examination of the text of the decree or heard the evidence of the Ministers on the two reserved points. The right of address was the chief topic of discussion yesterday, and, as might have been ex pected, it met with very strong opposition. M.M. Devienne and Delangle both opposed it, while M. Rouher declared that it belonged to a most impolitic sys. tem. M. de Maupas boldly maintained the necessity of re-establishing the address in a long and eloquent harangue, and he was followed in the same strain by M. de la Guerronilre. The discussion, however, concluded, I understand, by a vote of seven to four against the address. To-morrow the commission discusses the amendment of M. Michel Chevalier, which proposes to consider the fourth article separately. This article treats of the publicity of the sittings of the Senate, and the object of M. Chevalier's amendment is that it shall be applied to this very discussion of the Senatus•Consul intufavoum itself of the . The Liberal party are of course s tron g l y r amendment. The Presse affirms that the Senate will not be pro rogued, and that the reporter, although Presi dent of the Conseil Gdndral o f Rhone, w ill make his report on the spot. Of forty senators who form part of the Conseils G4ndraux thirty are nominated Presidents. They may safely attend these assemblie‘ secure of being at their posts in time to hear the reading of the report, and to fix the day of the debate. The date at which the report is read will depend on the number of the amendments and the energy of the reporter. The Council of Angouleme has expressed a wish that henceforward the mayors and their assistants shall be nominated by the municipal councils. A similar move ment is in progress at Toulon. The new Minister of Agriculture has just adopted an important executive measure. He has suppressed the regional exhibitions of cattle and agricultural productions which hitherto have been organised by his department, and has left that task to he performed by the local associa tions, which will concert together to choose the place for holding the annual shows, draw up thu programme, and award the prizes. At Nice, to-day, a celebration is to be held, not in honour of the Fête Napoleon, but of one of the great Emperor's most famous marshals, Massena, the " spoilt 3hild of victory," as Napoleon called him. The Marshal's %Wu° is to be solemnly inaugurated in the place which bears his name. His descendant, the present Duke of Rivoli, left Paris yesterday to take part in the ceremonial. Massena's other title, Prince of Essling, was taken from his greatest victory. The Toulonnais is indignant with the Paris journals for persisting in the statement that the Empress will spend £320,000 in a journey to the East. It affirms that the Empress and the Prince Imperial are going to Corsica, and that they will be absent only six days. The Corsican voyage is the only part of the programme that has been dec!dedly fixed upon. The National Guard of St. Quentin are preparing a petition to the Senate which calls for a reorganisation 3f the Guard upon principles that are more consistent with its establishment, and suggests t hat the recruitin g should he carried out in a more d e mocratic fashion, and that the o ffi cers shot b y the so d ldiers.

TRADE AND FINANCE, A remarkable increase is noticeable in the overland trade between the Continent and India, more especially in the shipments of cotton, and it is probable, on the opening of the Suez Canal, which will afford very great facilities for it, that this traffic will be greatly developed. During the first six months of the present year, the cotton shipped overland direct to the principal European ports was as follows :--Bales of 3921b5. net—Naples, 100 ; Genoa, 4,952 ; Trieste, 14,363 ; Venice, 600 ; Barcelona, 3GB ; Havre, 8,192 ; Marseilles, 6,673 ; total, 3,248 bales. In addition to the above, there was a considerable increase in the overland trade with the British ports, the shipments to which, during the period under review, may be thus summarised :—London, 210 bales ; Southampton, 203 ; Liverpool, 101,903 ; total, 102,316 ; making an aggregate of 137,564 bales sent overland during the first half-year of 1869. This is, of course, entirely independent of all shipments made by sailing vessels via the Cape. The most important feature to notice is the rapidity of the growth of the overland traffic in cotton between the Continent and Bombay, by which it would appear that the move ment is assuming formidable proportions. The question at once arises as to what influence the opening of the Suez Canal would have upon such a trade, and it is very evident that the importing countries around the Mediterranean basin will be greatly benefited by the new route. They will have cotton brought nearer to them and with much greater expedition than under the old route, and .probably the first cost to them will be very much less than formerly. The above statement shews that the Austrians are making great efforts, not only to obtain a fair share of the manu facture of cotton goods, but also to obtain no incon siderable portion of the carrying trade between Bombay and the Continent. In this respect Trieste is much more advantageously situated than Marseilles—we mean from a geographical point of view—for monopolising the traffic, and this view is further confirmed by the statement, which we have reason to believe to be true, that a line of Austrian steamers will be established by the Austrian Lloyd Company between Bombay and Trieste, in December next, for the purpose of engaging in this traffic. There is also a rumour that a branch of the Austrian Bank will be opened there, in addition to the French Comptoir d'Escompte, which already does a large business in Trieste. Whatever may be the ultimate results of this move- ment, there is very little present fear of the competition being very formidable to English manufacturers. We have no doubt that the same rule will hold good which has hitherto prevailed, namely, that the consumer will purchase in the best and cheapest market, and we see no reason to doubt that English manufacturers will be able to hold their own. With regard to the opposition in the carrying trade, there is even less occasion for fear. There is every appearance of the trade of the East being carried on in English bottoms, and British ship owners will probably be the first to make use of and benefit by the opening of the canal. Indeed we are aware that lage shipments of coal are being made to the East, in anticipation of an increase of traffic, and that steamship-owners are looking out for an active demand for freights from the East. It would not do, however, to ignore the fact that hopes are enter tained on the Continent of being more independent of England for their supplies of cotton goods, but so long as our trade continues to increase, and so long as we can find customers for the goods we produce, there is little cause for regret on this account, even should these anti cipations be fully verified. It may be mentioned, in con- nection with this subject, that the large increase in the number of foreign agency houses at Bombay has long been the matter of remark. The Rev. Charles Kingsley has consented to pre side over the Education department of the Social Science Association at the forthcoming Congress to bo held at Bristol between the 29th of September and the 6th of October next. The death is announced of the Viscountess Combermere. Her ladyship, who was born in 1819, was married in 1838 to the first Lord Combermero, who died in 1865 at the age of ninety-two. She was the third wife of Lord Combermere, and was a daughter of the late Mr. Robt. Gibbings. The trial of William Pullin, a youth of 19, for the murder of Richard Hill, a policeman, at St. Philip's, Bristol, took place on Friday at Bristol assizes. Pullin was found guilty, and sentence of death was passed. The jury appended to their verdict a strong recommendation to mercy. Mr. Tomkyns Dew, of Whitney Court, a magis trade for the county of Hereford, and late High Sheriff for the same, has been fined £5 by his brother magistrates for using a fixed engine called a stopping-net in fishing for salmon in the River Wye, along the banks of which river Mr. Dew is a considerable landholder. Another charge against the metropolitan police was made on Saturday. A man, charged with disorderly conduct by two policemen, stated that tho constables assaulted him without provocation, and declared that ho bad several wit nesses ready to give evidence in his favour. The magis trate, remarking on the gravity of the charge, adjourned the case. The Wesleyan Conference at Hull was brought to a close on Friday. In the course of the day's proceedings it was stated that the new lleadingley College was now com plete, and that no debt would be left upon tho building. The President having intimated that this satisfactory result was in a groat measure owing to the untiring efforts of the Rev. John Farrar, the thanks of the Conference was pro mated to that gentleman. The London correspondent of the Elgin Co:lrma says that the project of another trans-American line will soon be before the public, to cross the coLtinent entirely on British-American soil, running from Ottawa through the Bed River settlement, across tho Rocky Mountains, and down the Fraser River to British Columbia. The Hon. John Rose, Finance Minister of Canada, has resigned that office, and comes to London to reside permanently, in order to develop° the new scheme. About 1,200 excursionists from the neighbourhoA of Market Ilarborough have just visited Alton Towors, by special invitation of the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot A sumptuous dinner was provided, to which about 300 were invited, the remainder of the visitors being entertained at luncheon. The dinner was served in the Talbot Gallery. After dinner, Mr. Disraeli, who is visiting the Earl, pro posed the health of the noble hos t a n d hostess in a short speech, in which politics were strictly eschewed. There was no such a thing in August, ho said, as politics, Her Majesty has presented to Lady 11 , ardo a valuable diamond bracelet, in which, concealed by a spring, is a beautifully executed miniature of his Royal Righnefs Prince Arthur, tho reverse bearing the words—" To La, - 3, Warde, from Victoria, 1869."

There will be several meetings this week, but they call for little notice, as very few of the cracks will put in an appearance. Scurry races will still b, the fashion, and it will be a hard matter to deal with the programme when the horses intend, d to start are on the spot. At Stockton the class of animals contesting most of the races will be poi. and the small field for the Tradesmen's Plate nau.,t be almost compensated for if Robespierre and Lord Hawthorn meet. It is not a certainty that either will run, however, although they appear capable of beat ing off the opposition that could be brought against them. The lot of two-year-olds in the Cleve land Stakes include the smart Syrian, Lady Mary, and Exciseman ; the two last-named being in one interest; and the colt must be fully up to the mark to bowl over Syrian. They are simply a lot of rips in the Trial and Selling Stakes, for Attache is not half the horse he was once, and the same may be said of the Town Plate crew, with the exception of Promptress, who is weighted within a few pounds of the once famous Lady Dew hurst, a year her senior. Briggi's best—Sunshaie or La Charantonne, may trouble Lady Zetland most in the Harry Fowler Stakes, unless the prize is good enough for Good Hope ; and Saratoga ought to win the Match. T. Dawson will be very busy with Lord Hawthorn in the GreatNortheru St. Leger, &c., Good Hope in the Middleborough Handicap and Stewards' Cup, and several strings in the 2-yr-old handicaps. Very few books are open on the St. Leger. Only twelve months ago it would have taken thousands instead of hundreds to bring a Pretender from 2 to 1 to 6 to 4, without his being such a " safe 'un" as the Earl, whose opponents guessed so well what was going to happen to him that they let eager backers get on at their own prices, and to any tune. Lord Hawthorn must be thought a great deal of, or he would not be such a favourite for the Ebor Handi cap with 7st. 81b. to carry. Pero Gomez will see a much shorter price before many days elapse. The Drummer has no business to be at his present short price, as he is only a moderate horse, and only got third in the Derby by an accident. A FRESH MAN. INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE. PUTNEY, Monday, 12 o'Olock. Resuming their practice after the rest of yesterday both crews wont out this morning, and rowed up the Reach against the ebb (the Americans trying some new oars). Their new boats from Clasper of Newcastle and Jewitt of Dunston had not arrived, so they took their exercise in the Salter four. The Oxonians, as usual, went ad mirably, and were loudly cheered by a somewhat nume rous assemblage, the Americans coming in for their share. Their style of rowing generally is not improved, and it is very rough contrasted to the finished polish of the rival crew, nevertheless they got the boat along very fast, strength being the principal item, and odds of 3 to 1 taken. They sat their boats thus:— OxFoub.-1. Willan ; 2. Yarborough ; 8. Tinne ; 4. Darbish"re ; and Hall (coxswain.) ILiliviltD.-1. Faye ; 2. Lyman ; 3. Simmons Loring; and Burnham (coxswain.) POLICE i.:\iTELLIGENCE.-11.1s Day. MARLBOROUGLI STREET. TILE GRENVILLE MURRAY CASE.—On Mr. Knox taking his seat on the bench this morning he said he wished publicly to read a letter he had received from Mr. Edwin Newman, Mr. Newman, it may be remembered, being the solicitor who produced on a summons the tin box con taining certain papers connected with the case. Mr. Knox read the letter as follows: "7, King's Bench-walk, Temple, London, Aug. 15. "Sir, —I think it due to you that I should utterl3 and at once deny that there is a particle of truth in the follow ing wocds which I have copied from ' a correspondent's' letter published in the paper called the Queens M es3enger, of the 12th inst., viz., That Mr. Newman has said in his (A. County Member's) presence that Mr. Knox declared he must commit Mr. Grenville Murray, because the pressure of Peers put on him had been too strong to resist.' " This statement, and every part of it, I declare to be a gross falsehood, and I defy ' A County Member,' or any other person, to prove the allegation. "I may further add, that you are quite at liberty to make what use you think proper of this letter. " I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient, faithful eervaut, " EDWIN NEWM,IN. "A. A. Knox, Esq., J.P., Police• court, Marlborough-street." Mr. Knox said the only remark he had to make was that the statement in the newspaper was not true, and that Mr. Newman's statement was perfectly correct. ASSAULT AT THE ALIIAMBRA.—CharIos Allen, hair dresser, Old 13rentford, was charged before Mr. linox with assaulting Carter, ono of the attendants at the Alhambra Pulace, Leic,ster-square, and damaging his uniform coat, to the amount of 30s. Mr. Sawyer, from the office of Mr. Lewis, Groat Marl borough-street, appeared for the prosecution. Carter said that on Saturday night he was called to the prisoner, who had upset a gentleman's glass, insulted the gentleman, and threatened to knock his two eyes in' o one. Lie remonstrated with the prisoner, but, finding that of no avail, he attempted t) eject him, when he struck him and tore his uniform coat. In answer to Mr. Knox, the complainant said the pri soner was drunk. Other evidence of a corroborative nature having been given, _ . Mr. Knox ordered the prisoner to pay the damage and a fine of 10s. WESTMINSTER. UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.—James Taylor was charged with an unprovoked assault upon Jacob Pigott, a German Laker. Complainant said that he was passing through the Fulham-road yesterday afternoon at three o'clock when he saw two boys fighting. A gentleman coming up sepa rated them, and gave one of them, who was defendant's brother, a smack on the face. Tho boy immediately seized a stone, and, with a filthy expression, was about to hurl it at the gentleman, when complainant laid hold of his hand to prevent his doing so. Directly after that the defendant rushed into the crowd, and without saying a word knocked him down with a violent blow in the eye which ho followed up by a second on the jaw. Defendant said that he heard his brother was being ill used and went to the spot, when complainant said, "I'm the man for you to deal with," and challenged him to fight, which he did, and beat him. Complainant denied in the most positive terms that any ling of the sort had occurred. The constable said that a number of respectable trades men had come to the station as witnesses for the com plainant. Mr. Selfe thought it vory strange that complainant should have said to defendant, " I'm the man for you to deal with." On comFlainant's request the defendant was remanded for the attendance of witnesses. Bail was taken for him. THAMES. ALLEGED CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—A man named John Norris, in the employ of Phillips and Son, market garden ers, Bromley, was charged with cruelty to a cart horso he was riding on Satu day afternoon. After the evidenco of Dr. Coward, who gave prisoner into custody after seeing him strike the horse ton or twelve times with a heavy whip, The prisoner said the horse was a vicious one. The foreman to the prisoner gave him a good character, and said that the horse was a wicked one. Mr. Paget discharged the prisoner. MR. R. LASCELLES' CONCERT.-1 0-morrow evening this gentleman gives an evening concert at the Milton Rail, Kentish Town, which doubtless will attract an overflowing audience. Miss Russell, Miss Fitzhenry, Miss Coleman, Mr. R. Green, Mr. Liskard, and a number of other public favourites, give their aid to Mr. Lacelles ; the) programme is well selected, and the whole is under the direction of Mr. 'William Corri. This is the first time a concert of such an attractive character has been given at the hall, and a few such similar entertain ments could but prove satisfactory to the inhabitants of that part of the town. The New York Mercury tells a story of the lion. Horace Greeley, who spends every Saturday and Sunday in his rural home of Chappaqua. With Mr. Reid ho went over his farm on a recent Saturday, showing his guest his prize cabbages and the other things of which he had reason to be proud ; among them his pigs ; but hero, sad to relate, the pleasure of the occasion was marred by a fell di: aster. An excavation on one side of the pig-pen, made for the purpose of trying some new patent system of drainage, had been made during the week without the knowledge of 11. G., and ho and Whitelaw, walking con fidently on, absorbed in pleasing converse, suddenly stepped where there was no ground for the soles of their feet to alight on. The next moment they were flounder ing in a pond of savory slush that had oozed from the pens. LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR.—MRS. S.

EXTRAORDINARY RESURRECTION OF AN A LLEG ED MURDERED WOMAN. The Pendleton mystery has at length been par tially cleared up. A telegram to-day says : " Seven days ago Manchester was horrified by the discovery of the body of a ,woman in the canal at Pendleton, bearing marks which led to the belief that she had been foully murdered. The body was identified at the inquest as that of Kate Macdonald, who had been missing since Christmas last. It was buried, and last night the missing woman Macdonald turned up at Salford Pollee station." I;OURSE OF EXCHANGE.

Mr. Murray appears to be a gentleman of great literary skill, and he has attached to the Saranac lakes so strong a tinge of romance that the furore became general to visit them this summer. In consequence, a spot, wholly unprepared, be came crammed with visitors who poured in till all the hotels and houses being full, the woods became white with the tents of camping parties. The stories told about those devoured by the black flies, and those saved through the exertions of others filled the papers. The prices of guides ran up to $5 a day, and everything became enor mously expensive. Beds were put up under trees with no extra charge for mosquito serenades ; as to fishing it was discovered that there were 30 rods to every trout, and at night 17 torches to every spear. A "shoddy" party, husband, wife, and daughter arrived with several large Saratoga trunks, and on their arrival called for three par lour bedrooms, but the house being already full they were put up in the attic. The next day the young lady was horrified because " she had to put her foot on the bare floor, and drink out of a common glass tumbler." She had never done such a thing in all her life, and would not stay another day for a thousand dollars ; and so her papa had to take her home immediately. Travelling expenses by team, for two days, amounted to $5O, and their money all gone, the unhappy father was obliged to get the landlord to cash his check for 6100 ; but the land lord allowed he was glad to get rid of them, oven at that price. Mr. Murray is heartily abuse!, and there is said to be a fear of his acsassination, although his only fault is that he wrote with force and effect. One party on their return registered their names as " Murray fuols."—Anglo- American Times. in Detroit, a divorce case is progressing, the petitioner being the husband of a woman's rights' wcniaa who has taken a consp icuous part in the movement. Find ing his life made miserable as the victim of extensive cruelty and systematic ill-treatment, on that plea ho ap plied for separation, having kept a diary of the events as they transpired. Ono day he was "mending the bed," when "Frances 11. became excited," She threw at hint "in rapid succession, ' Josephus,' a volume of 'Rollin's History, the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.' a three pound iron weight, and a broken bottle." The three pound weight, the broken bottle, and "Rollin's History" "mercifully missed" him; but "Josephus," for once - "struck" him "with great force," and Mr. Silas Wegg Ihimself would have roared to see him decline and fall off when the Roman empire crushed him, as it once did the Scythians and the Gauls. "It weighs ten pounds," said the complainant, "and struck me iu the side." r_l(
