MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The accounts received from the various manu facturing districts mention that business during the Past week has been steady, with slight symptoms Of improvement in many of the leading branches. In the iron trade of South Staffordshire there has been little alteration of importance. In the orders from the United States there has been some improvement, but the demand for home consumption still continues on a very limited scale. At Birmingham the various branches of business connected with the district had exhi bited little animation, and the fancy button and Jewellery trades have been particularly quiet. A steady amount of business has been done at Man chester in most kinds of cloths fit for home use, but the inquiry for the Indian and German markets had slightly fallen off. Manufacturers, however, were busy upon contracts, and prices for both goods and Yarns arc fully supported. The woollen cloth trade at Leeds still continues extremely active, a rather large amount of business having been done in both heavy and light fabrics, and in the warehouses and cloth halls there has been much activity. The manufacturers and spinners of the neighbourhood are working full time, and the operatives are well employed. The worsted trade of Bradford con. tinned steady. Owing to the high rates ruling for wool prices had an upward tendency, and advanced rates in several instances had been current for piece goods. At Leicester the hosiery trade was active. Yarns were firm, and wools had an upward tendency in value. The various hardware trades of Sheffield, Wolverhampton, and the adjoining neighbourhood had been only moderately active, and prices remained unaltered. _ _ _ The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed firmly, and prices were unaltered. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market a fair amount of business was done, and quotations slightly improved. There is no change to record in the general state of the Money Market. It continues remarkably easy, and the terms, although ranging as low as 2 1 and 21 per cent., still tend downwards. If, as anticipated., the minimum is reduced to 21 per cent., accommodation may soon be obtainable at 2 Per cent. As the available supplies in the hands of the bankers and discount houses are ex cessive, competition will force the current rates in the open market a fraction under the °Reid quotation. This state of things will be maintained until trade revives, or some new outlet is provided for the free circulation of capital. It is not for a moment supposed that the accumula tion will go on much longer without stimulating None kind of enterprise, although at present no desire is shown to embark in wild speculation. On the contrary, the utmost prudence is exercised in the selection of investments, and no support kerns likely to be given to new undertakings un less of the highest order. In the course of a few Weeks, however, when a large namber of small capitalists will return to town, the tendency of affairs in this respect will be more accurately ascer tained. Confidence is evidently gaining ground, and it appears anomalous that money should be kept idle in the banks and other places, on deposit at nominal rates of interest, when there are so many safe and remunerative securities 40 W offering in the market, at quotations quite incompatible with the satisfactory dividends which t hey regularly return. It is generally supposed that they will soon become in increased favour, for the public are now more reluctant to enter into new enterprises than for many years past. The rate of exchange at New York on London has risen to 1091 110, and, as the Africa has brought £134,000, increased remittances are now expected to arrive. On the 13th inst. the stock of bullion at the banks in that city was £5,612,000. The absence of Australian vessels has checked the influx of gold at the Bank, but, as several are now overdne, it will no doubt be speedily resumed. The market for English Securities to-day has been very buoyant. It opened at a slight advance, With an improving tendency ; but shortly after \yards the Government broker purchased £16,000 s tock, and a fresh stimulus was given to the upward blovement. Consols have been 97=Z- 4 for money, and 971 yfor the account. The March Exchequer Bills arc marked 365. prem. ; and the June ditto, 245. to 278. prem. India Debentures have risen to 981 99. A large business has been transacted in the ,Foreign Stock Market, and prices have generally improved. The principal movement has been in the Turkish scrip. which has risen to par and 'Premium. The original 6 per Cents. are 961, 97, and the 6 per Cents. 1041- Z. Spanish Bonds are rather fiat, the 3 per Cents. being 46Z, 1 ; the Deferred, 26 1,1,-; the Passive, 111; and the Certificates 51-. Peruvian Bonds are also heavy, the 41 per Cents. 95 1, ; the Urribarren, 791; ditto 3 per Cents., 73 Brazilian 41 per Cents. (1851) were 96a, ►. The following is from the Committee of Spanish- American Bondholders relative to affairs in Vene• zuel a The committee have this day received advices from Mr. Mocatta, dated La Guayra, 28th August, via New York, in which he states that, through the intervention of Mr. Orme, the differences between the English, French, and Venezuelan Governments have been adjusted on terms alike honourable to all, and that rejoicings were then going forward. General Castro had arrived on that day to ratify these arrangements, and on the 30th they were all to go up to Caracas. Mr. Mocatta trusts that he will now be able to Proceed with his mission favourably, in which he 'will be supported by Mr. Orme, who has already \von golden opinions. _ _ The Railway Share Market this morning has inhibited signs of improvement, the advance in most of the principal lines being about to per cent. Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, Mid land, and South-Eastern have improved 5s ; and South• Western and North British, 10s. ; Great Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Brighton, and North-Eastern (York) declined about ss. The Foreign lines have been very dull, at about previ ous quotations. In the Colonial Market Grand Trunk of Canada declined £l, and Great Western of Canada improved y. East Indian and Great Indian.

A DOUBTFUL CASE.—Kate Harris, a stylishly-dressed female, was charged before Mr. Beadon with committing a violent assault on Mr. Sam. Handler, tailor, 28, Marl borough-street. The prosecutor, after having stated that he met a friend in Regent-street, and accompanied him to hear some lee hires at the Raglan Hall, said, that while going up the Haymarket the female accosted him with the remark, "You can't get a lady ;" and on his saying that he did not wish to have anything to do with such a person as her, she up with her fist and gave him a violent blow on the nose, causing the blood to flow. He pursued her, and at last gave her into custody, when she immediately told the con stable to take him. The female said the prosecutor had behaved ungentle manly to her on a former occasien. Turner, 11 C, said the prosecutor and the prisoner came up together, and the female requested him to take prosecutor for knocking her down, and the prosecutor charged the prisoner with assaulting him. He therefore looked at each of them, and seeing blood on the prosecutor's face took the female into custody. The prisoner said th© prosecutor had once taken her to his lodgings and " bilked" her. He also wished to state that when at the station she slapped the prosecutor's face. In answer to Mr. Beadon the prosecutor said he had never had anything to do with the female, but this she denied, saying he had been with her twice. Mr. Beadon, not being satisfied with the prosecutor's ver sion of the affair, told the prosecutor to bring the friend who was with him on the previous evening to-morrow, and he would hear more of the case.

Most of the country marketA held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat, which moved off slowly, at drooping currencies. Fine barley was held at full prices ; but in ferior parcels were rather lower to purchase. Oats, beans, and all other articles were full; _ The continental markets have been much less active for wheat ; nevertheless, very little change has taken place in price. In the United States the qu - etations have shown a drooping tendency. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of home-grown produce were moderate. From abroad we received 15,965 quarters of wheat, 13,682 barley, 99,631 oats, 25 rye, 2,188 beans, 1,605 peas, 910 tares, 10 linseed, 1,646 rape seed, 75 mustard seed, 45 sundry seeds, 415 sacks and 6,096 barrels of flour. Fresh up, to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, a full average time of year supply of wheat came to hand from Kent ; but the arrival from Essex, Suffolk, &c., was only moderate. As millers generally refused to get into stock except on lower terms, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, and, in.some instances, sales were effected at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of from is to 2s per quarter. We were extremely supplied with foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex-granary. The demand was heavy in the ex treme, and the quotations were nominally is to 2s per quarter lower than last week. Floating cargoes of grain, off Falmouth, were dull, and drooping in price. Very little English barley was on offer; but the supply of foreign was large. The trade was heavy at a reduction in the currencies, compared with Monday last, of from is to 2s per quarter. There was a steady business doing in most kinds of malt at full prices, Oats, the supply of which was very extensive, were very dull, and fully Is. per quarter lower than on this day se'nnight. In beans very little was doing, at ls. per quarter less money. Peas moved off slowly, at a decline of Is. per quarter. We had a heavy sale for flour at drooping prices. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

To-day's market was fairly supplied with foreign stock as to number, but its general quality was inferior. Sales progressed slowly, and prices were not supported. The supply of beasts derived from our own grazing dis tricts was seasonably good, and there was a decided im provement in the weight and condition of most breeds, com pared with many previous market days. The beef trade was in a sluggish state, and in some instances prices gave way 2d per 81bs, the extreme value of the best Scots being 4s 10d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,220 shorthorns; feom other parts of England, 500 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 54 Scots ; and from Ireland, 800 oxen, &c. Although the total supply of sheep was by no means ex tensive, there was only a limited inquiry for all breeds. However, a fair clearance was effected at last Monday's currency, the best old Downs having sold at 5s per ,81bs. About 450 sheep came to hand from Ireland. Calves, the show of which was moderate, were in fair request, and last week's prices were well supported. We had a steady demand for pigs, at full quotations. The supply was good.

DIMING ROBREItY AND SAVAGE ASSAULT.—Dennis Donovan, the most desperate ruffian and thief in the dis trict, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with steal ing a pair of Wellington boots ; value 10s. '6d., from the shop of Mr. George Barnes, boot and shoemaker, No. 114, Rat cliff -highway, and also with assaulting and wounding Isaac Pawsey, a police constable, No. 53 K, who has received very serious injuries. John George Holland, shopman to the prosecutor, stated that on Saturday night, at a quarter before twelve o'clock, he heard a jerk just inside the shop near the door, and saw the prisoner running away with a pair of boots, which he had just stolen from the place where they were hanging. He pursued the prisoner, who ran up a court called Palmer's folly, where he dropped the boots. Isaac Pawsey, a police-constable, No. 53 K, saw the prisoner put his arm just inside the shoemaker's shop and steal the boots. He pursued the prisoner and overtook him, and upon taking him into custody he said that 50 such as him (the witness) should not take him, and threw himself on the ground and kicked and plunged in a fearful manner. The prisoner got the fingers of witness in his mouth and bit them, and would not let go. He was compelled to use his staff with the only hand he had at liberty. It required the united exertions of six policemen to convey the prisoner to the station-house. In answer to questions by the magistrate, and after much pressing, the witness said his left hand and fingers were severely bitten and lacerated, and he was in great pain. His fingers were in the prisoner's mouth all the time he was struggling with him. Mr. Yardley—Why, you left out the most important part of your evidence until I pressed you, and that is very surprising, considering the injury you have received. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had been repeatedly in custody. Police-sergeant Cox, 45 K, said the prisoner was tried and convicted of larceny at the Clerkenwell Sessions, five years ago, and had since been convicted by the magistrate, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. There were other convictions against the prisoner. Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner for trial at the sessions. 16,9 32 5,041 3,367 .629 969 8,027 2:625 CITY OF LONDON HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF THE CHEST, VICTORIA-PARX. — The returns from this institution show the number of patrelieved during the last week to have been 876, of which 118 were new cases. We (Kendall Mereary) are glad to learn that the dejetwer to be given to Professor Owen in the Whitehall Assembly Rooms in the early part of the ensuing month is likely to be attended by most of the influential families in the town and neighbourhood, and by intiny from a distance . THE AMERICAN MAILS.—The Canada, royal mail steamer, sailed on Saturday for Boston with the American letters, &.c., a full cargo, and complement of passengers. The Africa sails next Saturday for New York. Letters will be received at the post till 12 noon, and finally, with late fee, at 1 p.m. The lan din g -sta g e box closes at 2 p.m. COLLISION AND Loss OF LIFE IN THE BRISTOL CHANNEL.—On Friday, a French schooner called the Galante was brought up to Bristol for the purpose of undergoing repairs, having been in collision with a French brig belonging to the port of Bordeaux. The collision, which took place on Wednesday night off Lundy Island, was a severe one, and the master and two of the crew of the schooner while endeavouring to get on board the brig were crushed between the two vessels, and all three lost their lives. An important arrest has just been made by the police at Lyons. For some time past numerous com plaints had been made of robberies having taken place on the railway between Lyons and Amberieux, where the trunks of passengers, after having been opened, and valu able articles taken out, had been again carefully closed. A few days since the substitute of the Procureur Imperial, on stopping at Bourg, found that a quantity of jewellery had been stolen from his trunk, and information of the jsct was given to the police. Suspicion having fallen ou a guard of the train, his house was searched, and a number of valuable opera-glasses, purses, ladies' travelling bags, &c., were Ifound. His wife was immediately arrested, and in a few hours after the man himself was taken into cuptcdy. , A judicial examination has been. commenced. ' ' THIRD EDITION. LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS.

CHANTILLY RACES.-YESTERDAY. EMPEROR'S VASE. Saunterer Miss Cath Ventre St, Gros Zouave Gouvieux (J. Osborne) 1 2 Won by a length. SPORTING NOTES. NEWMARKET, CHESTERFIELD, AND NORTH- ALLERTON. The racing last week was principally distinguished by the many accidents which marked it. Six days of turf casualties of a most serious nature were experienced, and they, of course, upset all previous calculations. At Leices ter rain had rendered the course as slippery as the greasy pavements in London under a November fog, and scarcely a race was decided there which was not attended with an accident of some description. The most alarming occurrence was, however, at Monmouth on the Friday, when Chanoinesse fell and broke her neck, hurling young Bray with great violence to the ground. The poor fellow broke his thigh and received other severe injuries. Bray is one of the civilest and cleverest light weights of the day, and the catastrophe which has befallen him has excited much commisseration, not only amongst his eonfrers, but also amongst the general racing public. The sport at Manchester was marked by only one incident which will cause it to be long remembered. The Hadji ran so badly that people are almost inclined to believe that the St. Leger form was all wrong. Although an at tempted excuse has been made for him in the as sertion that Cornboro' hung towards him at the finish, yet, granting the fact, I do not think that the judge's decision would have been altered under any cir cumstances. Speculation on the Cesarewitch has not undergone many changes within the last few days. Early in the week 100 to 1 was offered against Warlock, and the horse received his " quietus" on Saturday when he was scratched. Some important alterations in the " tone" of the turf market may be expected this week. Newmarket is in a state of anxious expectation about its meeting, and perhaps for many years the programme issued from head-quarters was never so attractive. The series of three gatherings promise abundant sport, and, to judge from appearances, the First October, which will commence to-morrow, will attain an extraordinary success. The Eastern Counties Handicap is the staple attraction for to morrow, and it will bring out a large field. To discover the absolute winner would be about as difficult as to find a friend in the Grand Stand enclosure at Epsom on a Derby. day. Casting my eye down the list of nominations it is at tracted by the names of Peter Flat, 5 yrs, Bst 51b ; Lord of Lorn,.3 yrs, 7st 61b ; Orchehill, 3 yrs, 7st 31b ; My Niece, 3 yrs, 7st 21b ; Babylon, 4 yrs, 6st IMb ; Frederick, 3 yrs, Est ; and Melibceus, 3 yrs, sst 121 b. Of this lot I shall, perhaps, be induced to stand Orchehill and My Niece. Mayonaiso, the handsome daughter of Teddington, may have no difficulty in placing the Buckenham Stakes to Mr. Crawford's account. The principal starters for the Ninth Triennial Stakes D. 1., will perhaps be Bird-in-Hand, Kent, Queen of the East, Delusion, and Sir Colin. Kent may have his num ber put up at the judge's chair. Toxophilite will put in an appearance for the Grand Duke Michael Stakes, and will perhaps hit the target of success. The stakes are worth £BOO, so if any one had given £3,000 for him at the hammer their investment would not have been very unprofitable. The Hopeful Stakes will produce a more interesting race, and the issue will perhaps be with Prelude and Ariadne. Bad as Melibceus may be, 4 stone 1 lb. is a lumping weight for Happy Land to concede to him. The match may, however, be compro mised, as the owner of Happy Land may be disinclined to bring the horse out prior to the Cesarewitch. Mentmore will, I fancy, beat Leontes, aid Jaffa may succumb to Harry. Hepatica will experience little difficulty in winning the St. Leger, and Meg Merilees will carry off the Granby. Mayonaise is the only animal which at present attracts my attention for the Triennial Stakes for two-yr-olds. The match between Leontes and Northampton will be won by the former, and Soothsayer ought to beat Grand Duchess. For the Triennial Stakes, A. F., I shall " stand" the Ancient Briton. Nimrod will beat Morality ; and the two yr-old Pandora, with only 71b in her favour for the two years, will bowl over Babylon. The sport at Chesterfield will be disregarded by the majority of turfites, and indeed it is not likely to attract attention from any one except those persons in the immediate neighbourhood. Joyeuse, with her top weight, may win, the Revival Plate, Target the Chesterfield, and Cornboro the Chatsworth. The meeting at Northallerton will present many attrac tions to Yorkshire folk, and it will, of course, be mainl3 supported by the northern stables. A FRESH MAN. MANCHESTER AUTUMN MEETING.---SATURDAY.

ACCIDENT TO A JOCKEY.—Bray, th e j ust l y ce l e b ra t e d light weight jockey, met with an accident of a most serious character on Friday last. He was riding Lord Clifden's Chanoinesse in the Chippenham Handicap at Monmouth, when the filly fell, and breaking her neck, died alm9st in stantaneously. Poor Bray was thrown and he sustained a most severe fracture of the thigh. licdical advice was nu mediately obtained, and the unfortunate lad at once removed from the course. He now lies in a precarious con dition. It will be remembered that Bray met with a some what similar accident at Stockbridge this year. LITERATURE. Eva Desmond ; or, 211utation. 3 vols. Smith and Elder. There is considerable skill displayed in this story, and some of the characters are described in an able and forcible style ; but it cannot be said to be pleasing, and there are some points in it which might, with advantage have been omitted. The description of Clara Neville is painful ; and the idea of Ernest sacrificing himself for gold might have been conveyed in a more pleasing form. Eva Desmond, the heroine, is a delightful person, and, indeed, constitutes the chief charm and attraction of the work. It is very sad to notice how the bright aspirations of her youth were clouded, and her hopes dimmed, till at last she appeared but the wreck of her former self. Eva's mind was too well regulated, however, for her to sink into a despon dent state and lead a useless life. She roused her self, and, if she did not enjoy the happiness she had . expected, she was far from being altogether disap pointed. It may, indeed, be questioned whether Charles Stanhope was not amore suitable companion for her than Ernest Clifton, who must have been of a mean and base disposition or he never would have acted as he did. There was something inspiriting to Eva in urging her husband forward till at last he won the glorious meed which his superior abili ties so pre-eminently deserved. Charles Stanhope himself is not a very interesting character. Ilad he never met with Eva it is probable he might never have been particularly 'distinguished ; but her influence inspired and directed him, her pru dence planned his actions, and her hopeful, buoyant spirit sustained his drooping spirits and failing courage. The domestic scenes in the fathily of the Cliftons are described in a natural manner, and various passages met with in the course of the work give evidence that the author might, on a future occasion, do better things, if the drawbacks to the present production arc avoided. MR. HUTT, M.P., ON THE INVASION PANIC. At a municipal dinner at Gateshead, given on Thursday, by the Mayor, B. J. Prockter, Esq., the health of Mr. Hutt, the member for the borough, was drunk. In returning thanks, Mr. 111 TT said, I did not go to Cherbourg, and am therefore incompetent to enlighten the world, as more accomplished persons have recently done, on the power and discipline of the French navy, or on the secret designs and pur poses of the Emperor Napoleon. I did not twom pany the Royal cortege to Cherbourg chiefly from personal reasons. It was more convenient to me, at that moment, to go in another direction ; but I will not conceal from you that I do not regard with perfect complacency the object of that expedition. The parade of France of a vast naval force, and of immense resources of naval warfare, almost within sight of our own shores, was not, it seemed to me, the circumstances of the two countries considered, a very well-chosen entertainment to set before the Queen of England, and I think you will have shared my regret that our admirable sovereign should have been constrained, by the arguments of political ex pediency, to be an actor or spectator in such a scene. (Cheers.) At the same time, I do not doubt the mo tive of the Empe ror o f th e F renc h , i n sen di ng th e invitation, was perfectly unexceptionable. I have no doubt that he considered the Royal visit would be a means of smoothing down those unreasonable asperities which recent circumstances had excited m France, and which the unfortunate, the unto ward concessions of the late Government of this country had rather encouraged than allayed. If the presence of Queen Victoria at Cherbourg has had any such conciliating influence, one cannot, perhaps, much regret that it took place. It was certainly a fitter means of restoring the good temper of the French people than the modification of our laws and institutions to suit their inclinations, or than compromising the cause of the independence of nations, which was then committed to our care. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, the visit to Cherbourg has called a great deal of attention in this country to the formidable steam navy which has been created in France, at a time of profound peace, and at a crisis when the state of its finances seemed little to favour such an expenditure. Such preparations and pretensions have filled some persons amongst is with dismay. They see in these things a design, not merely on our security, but on our existence as a nation; and they accordingly call for immense and immoderate measures of defence. Such is the feeling of one party. But there is another, which seems seriously to believe in the song of " Rule, Britannia"—(a laugh)—to regard any attempt among Frenchmen to create a navy as something ridiculous—and to consider the specimens of it ex hibited at Cherbourg as not fit, either in regard to the ships or the sailors, to hold a candle to ours. And these gentlemen are backed by the peace party, who look upon all war as impossible, and all inva sion of our shores as an absurdity. There is, depend upon it, much blindness and folly in all of these exaggerations, Between two powerful nations, jealous of their honour and past history, and daily brought in contact on various points of rival and jarring interests, there must always be the possibi lity of war, however remote or undesired ; and it would be the height of folly—it would be a perfect abdication of reason in us, to act as if we had any patent of superiority in war, either by land or sea, over other nations, except in those prudent prepa rations and in that science and discipline on which all warlike superiority must ultimately depend. (Cheers.) At the same time Ido not admire panic fears, and I do not believe in the ambitious projects so freely attributed to our ally, the Emperor of the French. I am convinced, on the contrary, that when he told the people of Bordeaux, "L'empire c'est la pail," he announced the settled policy of his firm and sagacious mind; and I don't think lie is the man to be driven from that policy of peace, because cer tain parties in France hostile to his power—Social ists, Orleanists, and Legitimists—are always labour ing to involve Mm in war—and especially in war with England. What could the French Emperor gain by war ? If his forces suffered a reverse, it would be the ruin of his fortunes. If they were victorious, do you suppose it would be for his inte rest to divide with their successful commander the homage and the confidence of the French people ? From every calculation, therefore, of self-interest as well as from every consideration of an enlightened and generous policy, I believe that the Emperor of the French will hold firmly to the British alliance. (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, we must all desire it. The alliance of France and England is the best se curity for universal peace, as well as for the progress and civilisation of mankind. (The hon. member re sumed his scat amidst loud cheers.) THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. The Electric and. International Telegraph Com pany had, at the close of last year, 5,637 miles of telegraph, which were provided with 29,498 miles of wire ; the British and Irish Magnetic Company had 3,441 miles, with 15,688 miles of wire ; and the South Eastern Railway Company 301 miles, with 1,296 miles of wire, making a total of 9,379 miles of telegraph, with 46,482 miles of wire. The number of stations open for the public were, on the Electric and Isternationa I Telegraph Company's line 460, on the Magnetic 230, on the South Eastern Company's 80 ; and the number of instruments em ployed 2,938 in the Electric and International, 574 in the Magnetic, and 141 in the South- Eastern, making 770 stations, and 3,653 instru ments. The total number of messages transmitted during the year was 1,241,163, which were thus distributed :—Electric and International Company, 844,668 ; British and Irish Magnetic Company, 356,186 ; South-Eastern Company, 40,309. The number returned by the first-named company does not include the business messages sent by the 68 railway companies with whom the company has agreements, and by public offices, and which are estimated at three times the number sent by the general public. Neither are there included in the return the number of messages which were trans mitted by the company to 142 provincial newspapers and 55 reading rooms, which are daily supplied with the heads of the public news. In the case of the British and Irish Magnetic Company no account is taken of about 250,000 messages which were transmitted jointly by that company and the Sub marine Telegraph. Company to and from the Con tinent and from various railway companies, news papers, and news rooms. The telegraph of the South Eastern Railway Company has no working arrangements with e ith er o f the telegraphic com panies. The total increttite in the number of mes- Sages during the last three - years upon the lines of the three companies above named has been from 1,017,529 in 1855, to 1,1 21 , 523 in 1856, to 1„416 in 1857, and the total mileage .has increased from 43,720 miles in 46 ,482 IR 1857. _1855 to FUNERAL CAR or .Iv4roLEON I.—Woolwich, SEPT. 2G.—ln accordance :with orders received from the War-office for the immediate transmission of the funeral car of Napoleon from Woolwich Arsenal to Paris, a numbei of workmen were employed up to a late hour last night in the construction of an encasement of wood in which the vehicle will be placed. This encasement is ten feet in height, and is so made that the funeral car may be inspected by the people of France at the various stations on its transit to Paris. The car, with its entire drapery, feathers, &c., will be placed in its encasement, the top of the latter having been flitted with rods to which curtains will be attached. The cax will be accompanied to Paris by Gen. Sir J. F. Burgoyne, G.C.8., inspector-general of fortifications, who is commis sioned to deliver the vehicle as a present from her Majesty to the French empire. a'~ "`^ 104
