Last week's imports amourte4 to 607 bales from Port Philip, 341 rem Hobart Town, 397 from Algoa Bay, 869 from Port Elizabeth ; and 831 from Port Natal. CORN EXCHANGE. Tha leading country markets held on Saturday were scantily supplied with wheat; nevertheless the demand for all kinds was very inactive, and prices had a drooping .tendency. There was a good con gn mptive demand for barley, and the quotations were well supported. All other kinds of spring corn changed hands freely, at extreme rates. In flour, very little was doing. Throughout the continent wheat has continued to realise extreme rates, with a good demand on English account, and a large business is doing in other kinds of produce, at full prices. In the United Ztates, produce is coming for ward in large quantities, and extensive purchases continue to be made for shipment to England. The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad we received 33,866 quarters of wheat, 3,505 barley, 23,007 oats, 2,280 beans, 58 peas, 1,166 tares, 3,857 linseed, 5,085 rapeseed, 30 maize, 972 sundry seeds, 4,211 sacks and 23,652 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day, frcm Essex, the arrivals of wheat were somewhat on the increase, and in improved condition. From Kent the receipts were limited, and we observed no improvement in their general quality. For really good samples of both red and white there was a moderate inquiry, at last Monday's currency; but all other kinds were a dull sale, at irregular quotations. In some instances they were certainly ls. per quarter beneath last Monday's currency. Really sound oats were 6d. per quarter dearer, and the value of other kinds was well supported. Beans changed hands steadily, at extreme rates. There was a good demand for peas at very full prices. The flour trade was by no means active. In the quota tions, however, very little change took place. The quantity of foreign flour on offer was large. We were again extensively supplied with foreign wheat. The demand was by no means active ; nevertheless, im porters were firm, and the currencies generally were well supported. Floating cargoes of grain were inactive, but not cheaper. Xine barley changed hands freely, at is per quarter more money, other qualities were steady, at very full prices. The fine samples of new malt on offer wore disposed of at high rates. Old parcels were quite as dear as last week. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Each kind moved off heavily, at drooping currencies. From our grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were large, and in somewhat improved condi tion. The attendance of buyers was by no means nume rous, and all breeds met a heavy demand, at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of from 2d to 4d per 81bs, The top figure for Scots was 4s 6d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,600 short-horns; from other parts of England 900 various breeds, and from Ireland 300 oxen and heifers. There were no supplies from Scotland. With sheep we were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied. The fine Downe and prime half-brads on offer moved off slowly, at about stationary prices, but all other breeds were quite 2d per 81bs lower. The best Downs were worth 5s 4d per Blbs. There was a fair supply of calves in the market, yet the veal trade was steady, at extreme rates, the best calves having sold at 5s 2d per 81bs.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) TILE MITRE ASSURANCE COMPANY. It will be remembered that in July last an order was made for winding up the affairs of this company. Mr. Bagley now moved the Court for a fresh order, in conse quence of the absence of the directors previously appointed to represent the company, but from some cause they had not appeared; the object was now to appoint other directors as representatives. There was a great number of affidavits and arzuments entered into, but the case was ultimately adjourned till to-morrow. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS' DAL) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AND FORGING A BOOKING-OFFICE KEEPER'S SIGNATURE.—David Chandler and Henry Sum mers, two labouring men, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel of the value of £l5, the property of a fellow-lodger, named Richard How land; and there was a further charge stated against the prisoner Summers, that of appopriating a parcel entrusted to him to book at a booking-office, and forging the booking office keeper's signature for the receipt of the money. It appears that the prosecutor, a coachman, lodged with the prisoners, and left his lodgings, 7, Hunt's-court, on the morning of the 29th August, early, and leaving the two prisoners in the room, and on his return in the evening found four of his boxes broken open, one of them being completely smashed, and a quantity of wearing apparel of the value of £l5 stolen. Mrs. Williams, the landlady of the house, proved that the prisoners left about 12 the same day, owing her a week's rent, and never returned, and that Chandler left the key with her as usual ; also that no one but the prisoners had gone up to the room till the prosecutor came home. On Sergeant Appleton examining the boxes he said they had been broken open with shoemaker's tools, and in the room were found some belonging to Chandler, and which he would own. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he did not think that was likely. Mrs. Williams said she had a charge to prefer against Summers. She had entrusted him with a parcel to take to a booking-ofice, giving him 2d. to pay for the booking of it, and he brought it back with a signature written on an envelope, which he said was the booking-clerk's signa ture, but which she had ascertained at the office was a forgery. She had a letter from the person whom the parcel was sent to, stating that the parcel had never been re ceived. The parcel contained valuable wearing apparel. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, Mrs. Williams said she had seen the book in the possession of Chandler. She also wished to state that when Summers brought the receipt it was blotted a little, which he said had been done by accident. Summers said the signature was that of the man wko took the parcel anyhow. Sergeant Appleton asked for a remand, which was granted. PIKE'S PEAK-A TERRIBLE STATE OF SOCIETY. The correspondent of the New York. Trbune, at Pike's Peak, gives a terrible account of the state of society in that so•calkd El Dorado. He writes on September 11 : ,‘ The series of wanton murders and mysterious escapes of the criminals which a few weeks ago excited the com munity, have been succeeded by still more startling and alarming developments. It is discovered that a gigantic secret organisation of horse thieves, acting under a written constitution and by-laws, bound together by the most solemn oaths, employing a complete system of signs, grips, and pass-words, and extending in its ramifications to the Missouri River, has been in operation for several months past. It has succeeded in running off hundreds of cattle, horses, and mules, committing murder when ne cessary to carry out its designs, and shielding its mem bers from punishment whenever they have teen detected. The public have been astounded to learn that it embraced several prominent citizens of Denver who bore an unsullied reputation in the commu nity. But while these facts have been made known, the people are still in ignorance of the names of its members, the details of its operations, and of the means through which which they were discovered. On the other hand, a secret Vigilance Committee has been formed to ferret out the affair, and while the names of its members, the times and places of its meeting, and the exact evidence upon which it is acting, are all unknown to the public, it has brought two of the leading horse thieves to a most sum mary and violent death, captured and examined three more, and sent parties in pursuit of others still, who have fled from the country. Between these two secret organi sations the people at large aro completely bewildered ; the confidence of man in man seems to be utterly destroyed, except in cases of long and intimate acquaintance, and the public, having reached that point at which men are inca pable of being surprised, is anxiously awaiting further developments. The leading events of the past two weeks have been, briefly, these :—An immense amount of stock had been previously stolen during the summer, including 103 animals taken from this vicinity in a single night. At last upwards of 50 valuable horses and mules were taken at once from a ranche on the Platte, simultaneously with the wanton murder of two men engaged in making hay. An attempt was made to conceal the crime by burn ing the cabin which contained the bodies of the murdered men; and several arrow-heads found among the bones left the impression that the crime had been committed by the Indians. But the owners of the stock, who followed the thieves for eighty miles across the desert towards the Arkansas, and were finally compelled to return unsuccessful because their horses gave up, ascertained that the fugi tives were white men. About the same time, two or I hree intercepted letters from Gordon, the escaped murderer, gave a clue to the horse-stealing organisation, and two or three of its members were immediately secured by the Vigi lance Committee. One of them, a heavy property-holder near town, was kept a prisoner five or six days, while the public were altogether in ignorance of his whereabouts. At the end of that time he again made his appearance, assert- ing that he had been absent on a business trip to the moun tain ; but he was peculiarly haggard and worn, and seemed to have grown five years older in the terrible ordeal to which he had been subjected. It was generally understood that he had made a detailed confession in writing, which was :corroborated in every particular by two of his confede rates, who were examined separately from him ; and that the committee have refrained from giving these confes sions to the public until he has had sufficient time to settle up his business and escape from the country. Meanwhile one of the tri-weekly stages to the Missouri River had just left Denver with five passengers. About three miles out, and almost in sight of Denver, it was stopped, at 10 o'clock in the morning, by eight men armed with double barrelled guns. They did not say a single word, except to order Mr. Ford to get out and accom pany them, and then to direct the driver to go on, both of which injunctions were very promptly obeyed. The last that the driver or passengers saw of Ford he was standingafew near the roadside, surrounded by his capt ors, d rdaysidl afterriddled b y his eightcorpse wasbuckshot d. i s co Theve r e mend , who mile from oa k a n h t i h m e road, wer e d entirely undisguised, and are underst ood to here ; but, as all the passengers h ave g one a b n e t w o e t l h l e k r n i o v w er n , thea w n a d m ed , e the driver, perilw o ofhas returnedhi his life,w t a h s e a i f r t e n r w a m a r e d s s , h y give were.

TERATURE. 4 Cruzse in the Pae ' ' oc. B y a Naval Gl limn • Edited by Cap:ain Fenton Aylmer. Hurst and Blacket. The reader is in doubt, while perusing thec.e pages, whether he has truth er - fl-tion hefor'e him ; that is to say whether the ' author's cruise was on salt water , or in the realms of fancy. As neither the name of the autho or ship are given, on e wou l d lean to the latter con clusion . but on the oth er h and, the Clever and de tailed description given of most of the islands and ports in the Pacific would seem to indicate a per sonal inspection by the author; in either case, the I result is the same, and wi.:l have before us an irate- I resting account of San Francisco, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Ayres, Valparaiso, Otaheita, and the Sand wich Islands, and many other places. The perso nal adventures are amusing, and the author does not fekr to acknowledge his uncomfortable sensa tions when out tiger, or more properly, jaguar hunting in the pampas of South America. A TIGER HUNT. " Where is the tiger," demanded Franks. " There, senhor ' • he is a ve r y d ev il, an d h as killed two men and a hundred cows." " Well, well, kill him. Lead the way." The tiger hunt ers h av i ng meantime made their own in quiries took the front rank, each holding a couple of hunt • ing dogs in a leash. We Englishmen, rifle in hand, rode after, while the Guarhos followed. Down into the valley we .scrambled, where, among the rank reeds forming the bed of a half-dry stream, the tiger was lyi ng. J ust as we reached the thick se t the dogs were unloosed, and dashed in with a chorus of yells, and I, grasping my rifle, felt half afraid, and began imagining what my friends would think if I were slain by a tiger. I had not much time for refleo• tion; a roar, that thrilled through every pulse of my body, drowned the voice of men and dogs. My horse wheeled like lightning, unseating me,*and down I came head foremost, my rifle going off as I fell. I had one glance of the tiger close beside me, and the reader may believe I was soon on my legs again, expecting every moment to be in his grip, to my intense relief ho was gone. Frank hailed me with a cheer, "Well done, Fritz, you've done what you can boast of—jumped a tiger in his spring, but follow up, here's my rifle, you will get a shot at him yet, I'll take yours and load." I did not stay to ask questions then, my blood was up, my proximity to the brute had banished fear ; he was evidently running away too, so my courage rose in p ro p or ti on. Th e h unters iwere close togethr at one side of a very thick bush, waitinc , the breaking of the tiger, a proceeding both the Guarhos and dogs were endeavouring to effect, but whether he considered it unwise to charge the mob, then a little party of trained men, or whether it was accidental, I cannot say ; however, he suddenly bounded out in the opposite direction to where we stood, dashed straight through the mob, and seizing a man in his teeth, got into the nearest thicket before he could be stopped. Quick as lightning a couple of hunters and dogs, stationed at that side, were at his heels, and, encumbered as he was, almost immediately closed with him, one of the men dashing up and burying kis long knife in his sido. The tiger turned round like a shot, dropping the body as he did so, and then followed the most wonder ful feat I ever saw or heard of. The man was carried off, though much hurt, and with a broken leg, perfectly con - scious ;he had never let go his knife, and the beast let him fall and turned away, the long blade gleamed in the air, and sunk quivering into the very heart of the tiger. Without a struggle he rollod heavily over, the blood gush ing from his mouth and nostrils, while the gallant fellow who had given the death-blow rose on one arm, and then fell fainting upon the body." The author sometimes overshoots the mark, and it requires an exertion of credulity on the part of the reader to believe all that is related ; but this is generally not his personal experience, but what has been related to him by others, for the truth of which he does not hold himself responsible. Attain some of his quotations from the writings of others are well selected. • CORAL FORMATIONS. Our readers, says Sir David, no doubt are aware that the ( coral rocks which form islands and reefs, hundreds of miles in extent, are built by small animals called polypi that secrete from the lower portions of their body a large quantity of carbonate of lime, which when diffused aroun the body and deposited between the folds of its abdominal coats constitutes a cell or polypidox, or polyghary, into the hollow :of which the animal can retire. The solid thus formed is called a coral which represents exactly tke ani mal itself. These strong cells are sometimes single and cupped, ramifying like a tree, and sometimes grouped like a cauliflower; or, imitating the human brain, the calcareous cells which they build remain fixed to the rocks in which they began their hibours. After the animals themselves are dead, a new set of workmen take their places, and add a new story to the rising edifice, the same process going on from generation to generation until the wall reaches the surface of the ocean, whore it necessarily terminates. The industrious labourers act as scavengers of the lowest class, perpetually employed in cleansing the waters of the sea from impurities which escape even the smallest crustacea, in the same manner as the inseet tribes, in their various stages, are destined to find their food, by devouring impu rities caused by dead animals and vegetable matter on the land. Were we to unite in ono mass the immense coral reefs three hundred miles long, and the numberless coral islands, some of which are forty to fifty miles in diameter, and if we add to this all the coraline limestone and the other formations, whether cal careous or silicious, that are the works of insect labour, we should have an accumulation of solid matter which would compose a planet or satellite, at least one of the smaller planets between Mars and Jupiter, and if such a planet could be constructed, may we not conceive that the solid materials of a whole system of worlds might have been formed by the tiny but long-continued labours of beings that are invisible. After visiting the Russian station at Petropaulo vowsky, we are carried to British Columbia and Vancover Island. Here the author made some stay, and has written in consequence at greater length on the climate, geological formations, and products of the country. The remarks upon all subjects are sensible and straightforward, the writer choosing rather to express his own convic tions than caring to please the parties aboxt whom he writes. His comments upon the Romish priests in South America are severe in the extreme, but only express the feeling of abhorrence with which the immoralities of these reverend gentlemen must be regarded by all right-minded individuals. Athletic and Gymnastac Exercises. By John H. Howard. Illustrated with upwards of 70 En gravings. Longman. Thanks to Mr. Kingsley and his followers the importance of developing the physical powers, as well as cultivating the mental faculties, is now recognised by most of the instruc tors of youth ; and since the rapid extension of the Volunteer movement we are more likely to devote too much attention to athletic exercises than too little. The establishment of gymnasiums is of great advantage to boys, who would be oftener kept out of mischief if they had some active recrea tion upon which to expend their redundant ener gies. This little volume will be of great assistance to all such youthful Spartans ; and if they are somewhat dismayed by the startling postures re presented in the numerous woodcuts, they may be encouraged by the informatiOn that all the exer cises mentioned in this volume have been performed by Mr. Howard and his pupils. "In France and Belgium," says the preface, " gymnastic exercises form a part of the education of youth, and happy is he who succeeds in achieving any one feat which leaves him sole master of the gymnasium." Those of our young compatriots who wish to achieve similar distinction, and outstrip their competitors, should study Mr. oward's little manual. The Journal of Agricuiture. No. 70. Blackwood and Sons. This able periodical has several papers of prac tical utility. Mr. Robert Scott B u rn contributes some Notes on Novelties ofthe Canterbury Show of the Royal Agricultural Agricultural,Society, and continu es his " Notes, chiefly Tour in Belgium, Holland, taken during and en the Rhine, which will be very interesting to the agricul turists of this country as they are enabled to com pare the various modes of culture in use abroad with their own systems. The scientific rea der will be more especially attracted by a paper " On the quantity of Nitrogen in the Soil at various de an a title p icle pis as found in recent experiments," an d by on Rain and .Meteorology in relation to Agriculture. The latter paper is very interesting, and after discussing the variations of temperature to which we are liable, and the surprising alterations which some observers predict, it c oncludes by assuring the farmers that they may be comforted for that , we have enough of moisture in this climate, and that if a slight c han g e be coming over it, it is in the right dire ction — p ,,,, 8. that of increasing dryness.

THE GRAND _RUSSIAN RAILWAYS: (From the Honey 31arkct Bevim.) The report of the Grand Russian Railway Com pany, presented at the meeting last held, enters very fully into th e s it ua ti on an d prospects of gigantic enterpri se . At th e ou tset the directors complain, somewhat queruloully, of the attacks whichthey assert to have beers made upon tnem, their engineers, and their general operations. Some of these statements being characterised as based upon prejudi ce , th e di rectors pass t h em b y without an answer ; but upon other points raised in a bona fide spirit, and the result of more or less well founded uneasiness, they offer some explanation. It also appears from the context that the shareholders are by no means unanimous in supporting the board, and that many of the so-called opponents of its own scheme may b e f oun d w i t hi n th e ran k s o f own proprietary. Three years ago the company was started with a concession of ten years to complete its system. From the commencement, an jaxpectation appears to have been formed that the works world have been un dertaken on all points at once, and that the whole enterprise would consequently be finished within a short delay. This unreasonable view being naturally disappointed, public opinion ran into the extreme of opposition s especially when it was found that, from certain circumstances, it was necessary to de lay or suspend some of the works. The directors, therefore, state that th ey h ave j u d ge d i t r i g h t to explain to the shareholders in every point the present condition of their property, and thus to place themselves in a fair and open position before the public. The original plan of the company included the completion of the Warsaw line, which had already been begun by the state, and the construction of railways from Vilna to the Prussian frontier, and from Moscow to Nijni-Novgorod, a line to connect Libau and Duttaburg, and on the southern section the establishment of a communication with Theo dosia at the Dnieper: Of these it was determined, in the first instance, to carry out the Warsaw, Prus sian, and Nijni lines, and the capital required for these was estimated to be 110,000,000 roubles (about £17,400,000 sterling.) After constituting the staff, a proceeding which occupied considerable time, owing to the wide range of the com pany's operations, the above undertakings were vigorously prosecuted, and at the close of 1859 2,891 versts (three versts make two English miles) were laid out of the 4,146 com prising the system, and 306 opened for traffic, be sides the construction of numerous earthworks, buildings, &c. Of the capital subscribed, 88,000,000 roubles (L 13,900,000) was paid up, and 65,000,000 roubles (.£10,200,000) actually expended, including deposits of caution money, advances, &c. The directors institute a comparison of the progress of the railway during the three years with that of some of the leading German undertakings, and en deavour to show that it is altogether in favour of the former. They also claim to have done compara tively more within a short period than even the great French companies, notwithstanding the fact that, from the severity of the climate and other causes, the working days in the year are only abont 135, or half the number in other parts of Europe. It is also urged that the objection that only 300 versts of railway, part of which, had been already constructed, have been opened in three years, is unfair, sipce it omits to reckon the large works which have been exe cuted on other parts of the system. By the com mencement of 1862 it is hoped that the three lines will be finished throughout. With regard to the Theodosia and Libau Railways the surveys have been completed, but for the present the works have not been begun. This result is attributed to the financial crisis of 1857-8, followed by the war of 1859, the enormous increase in the price of labour, the fall in the exchange, and the discovery that the capital guaranteed by the state, viz., 62,500 roubles the verst (or about £14,000 per English mile), is insufficient for the formation of these projects. The result of the working of the 257 versts of the Warsaw line (129 only for part of the year) open for traffic in 1859 gives a gross revenue of 877,029 roubles (X 138.000), and an expenditure of 705,380 roubles (X 111,000), leaving a net profit of 171,649 roubles (say £27,000), which the directors consider a satisfactory return. In the first three months of the present year the receipts were 248,505 roubles (£39,000), against 150,071 roubles (X 23,700) in 1859, while the amount Rer verst was 851 roubles against 754. This is the more favourable as it unaccompanied by any material addition to the es ex penses. The augmentation in the receipts continues up to the latest date. The financial expose of the company totl napi enaouraging part of the report. The f the system tal authorised for the construction (L 43,500, 00 0), was originally 275,000,000 roubles° the least of which 110,000,000 )maadr e e. applied It is to the first three lines bloirngthe Libau and acknowledged, hewever, that capital provided is Theodosia undertakings the. , (X 110 17,4 00 9 :9 0 increase in this quarter at insufficient, and that least must be made.. an niniancial difficulties are also parbee been in found Paris, a coupons and obligations, which on the share felt in another direction.

Negotiations are now being carried on with the Government for the concession of fresh privil eges, to enable the raising of additional capital required for the Theodosia and Libau railways ; and, in the event of their non-success, the operations of the company will be c on fi ne d t * o the railways at present in course of construction, for which the share holders are assuredthe • capital . authorised is ample. There is assumed, however, to be little doubt that the . • assistance demanded from the Imperial Govern ment will be accorded, and, in that case, it is avowed that the company will make a fresh effort to obtain further subscriptions from the capitalists of Europe. That this attempt will meet with anything like success is very doubtful. The project of establishing railways over the whole of Russia through the medium of one single corporation is too vast to com mend itself to the judgment of simple financiers. Everythin g is grand, vague, and uncertain. The cost is reckoned by hundreds of millions of roubles, and an error of calculation such as has already been made Might involve an enormous addition to the existing capital, to the manifest depreciation of the amount already issued. If Russia wants such a railway system as she has proposed let her construct it_ her self ; the undertaking is too large for a ny e thl short of an absolute government.
