Notwithstanding the release of the October dividends, some of the leading houses are disposed to charge a fraction less for the bills they negotiate, but very little accommodation can be obtained under 4 per cent., and there is still an expectation that in creased firmness will shortly prevail. The efflux of specie has not y et been arrested X 200,000 having been withdrawn from the Bank of England on Satur day ; and as large quantities of grain are still corning forward, it is probable that gold will be sent away to some extent evert if the special opera tions for the Comptoir D'Exempte and the Bank of Madrid have now been completed. A further downward movement has taken place in the value of the English Funds, and the market has been very depressed owing to continued sales, the efflux of gold and the state of Italian politics. The unfavourable weather has also contributed to the prevailing depression. Consols are now quoted 92 -1 for transfer, and 921 93 for the account. . The New 3 per Cents. are steady, at 911 y ; the Reduced, at 911 1. India Stock has receded to 219 ; ditto New Loan remains at 1031 ; ditto 4 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is heavy at SO ; ditto 5 per Cent,. ditto at 961 ; and ditto 54 per Cent. at 1021. Exchequer Bills are par to 3s. prem. In the Foreign Stock Market the dealings have continued on a very limited scale, and in some in stances prices have tended upwards. Turkish 6 per Con ts. are 70 to 701 ; ditto New, 55 to 551 ; Portu guese are firmer at 441, Sardinian at 851 and 861, Spanish Passive at 231, and Grenada Deferred at 61. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 11 2 prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, 1 1 prem. ; and the Universal, 1 prem. The i.quidation of the accounts has occupied the chief attention of the dealers and speculators in the Railway Share Market to-day, and owing to a pressure of sales prices in some instances have shown rather less firmness. Great Northerns, Great Westerns, and North Westerns have de clined ss. Lancashire and Yorkshire have ad vanced. ss. ; South Western and South Eastern, 10s., and Midland 21. In the Foreign and Colonial Markets no deal ings of importance have been entered into. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian are firm at 111. Dutch Rhenish realised 13.

THIS DAY'S MAREETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets hold 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 conmpti%e demand for barley, and the quotations were well supported. All other kinds of spring corn changed hands freely, a; jectrerae rates. In flour, very little was doing. Throughout the continent wheat has lintinued to realise extreme rates, with a good demand m English account, and a large business is doing in other kinds of produce, at full prices. In the United Mates, produce is coming for ward in large quantities, and extensiv3 purchases continue to be made for shipment to England. The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market last week were very moderate. Fron abroad we received 33,866 quarters of wheat, 3,505 barby, 23,007 oats, 2,280 beans, 58 peas, 1,166 tares, 3,857 linseed, 6,085 rapeseed, 30 maize, 972 sundry seeds, 4,211 saws and 23,652 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day, from 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 goneral quality. For really good samples of both red and white taere 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 is. per quarter bmeath last Monday's currency, Really sound oats were 6d. per cnarter dearer, and the value of other kinds was well supported. Beans changed hands steadily, at extreme rates. our last report, at full prices. Foreign, parcels are almost nominal in value, but colonial qualities command extreme rates, with a fair demand. Last week's imports amounted to 607 bales from Port Philip, 541 from Hobart Town, 397 from Algoa Bay, 869 from Pert Elisabeth, and 831 from Port Natal. THIRD EDITION. 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. Fine 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 were disposed of at high rates. Old parcels were quite as dear as last week. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. THE WAR IN CHINA. FOREIGN OFFICE, OCT. 15, IS6O.

LATP INTELLIGENCE-(TRIS DA Y. ) and Sons. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) THE 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 ether directors as representatives. There was a great number of affidavits and arcuments entered into, but the case was ultimately adjourned till to-morrow. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAE) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AND FORGING A BOORING-OPFICE. KEEPER'S SIGNATURA—David Chandler and Henry Sum mere, 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 a pparel of the value of £l5 stolen. Mrs. Williams, the landlady of the house, prov ed 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 ap to the room till the prosecutor came home. On Sergeant Appleton examining the b oxes 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 him 2d. to pay for the booking of Summers. She had entrusted him with a parcel to take to iat2beonokdinhge-blionceghgtiivtinbgack with a signa t ure written on an signa ture, e nvelope, which he said was the booking-clerk' w w hi hi c c h h she had f asce rtained t the office was a at 8 apparel. g said she had forgery.

She also wished to state that when Summers brought the receipt it cowed. In answer The to p a r xt c e r l . was blotted a little, which he said had been done by accident. Summers said the signature was that of the man who took the parcel anyhow. Sergeant Appleton asked for a remand, which was j granted. The Journal of Agriculture. No. 70. Blackwood This able periodical has several papers of prac tical utility. Mr. Robert Scott B contributes some Notes on Novelties of the Canterbury Show of the Royal Agricultural Society, and continues his " Notes, chiefly Agricultural, taken during a Tour in Belgium, Holland, 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 reader will be pa p e r " On the more especially attracted by a quantity of Nitrogen in the Soil Andio depths as found in recent experiments," by an article 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 sur p rising alterations whi ch some observers predi ct, it concludes b y assur ing the farmers that they may be comforted, for that we have enough of moisture in this climate, and. that if a slight change be coming over it, it is ' i n the right direction —that of increasing dryness, As for any sud den transformation or rapid ' • tran sition, the wr iter discards the supposition. Ho says with j ustice, " The changes that have taken place since the dawn of history are i s o that even with our fields mperceptible ; thoroughly and deeply stirred by the steam plough, drained no p r obability that any history the re seems written within some thousands of the se i s l an d s , s hall have to record th a t seed of years, time and at seasons different from those harvest are occur."

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 Downs 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 Sibs. 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.

The reader is in doubt, while perusing these r pages,: whether he ha s truth fiction before him ; that is to say whether the author's cruise was on salt water or in the the realms th of fancy. As neither the name of or ship are given, one would lean t o the lattearuconor elusion; but on the other hand, 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 result is the same, and we have before us an inte 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 fear to acknowledge his uncomfortable senst tions when out tiger, or more properly, jaguar hunting in the pampas of South America. • TIGER RUNT. " Where is the tiger," demanded Franks. " There, senhor ' • he is a very devil, and has killed two xsenand a hundred cows." " Well, well, kill him. Lead the way." The tiger hunters having 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 lying. J us t as we reached the thickset 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 w ou ld thi n k if I were s l a i n by a tiger. I had not much time for relleo 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 he 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 xty courage rose in proportion. The hunters wore close together at one side of a very thick bush, waiting 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 a t hi s h ee l s, and, encumbere as he was, almost immediately closed with him, one of the men dashing up and burying his long knife in his side. The tiger turned round like a shot, dropping the body as he did so, and then followed the mist 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 as 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 ho rolled heavily ever, 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. Ahain 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 around 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 the 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 labours. 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, where it necessarily terminates. The industrious labourers act as scavengers of the lowest class, perpetually employed in cleansing the waters of the sea from impiritiei which escape even the smallest crwiacea, in the same manner as the inseet tribes, in their various stages, are destined to find their food, by devouring impu rities calved by dead animals and vegetable matter on the land. Were we to unite in one 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, i whether cal careous or silicious, that are the works of insect labour, we should have an accumulation of solid matter whioh 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 pleas• the parties about 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 Gyoznastlc 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. Howard's little mansal. females the balance is reversed, and the number of married lunatics slightly exceeds that of the single. The proportion of mental alienation in the different. races, and among emigrants ii various localities, is also given; and the article is full of information of a kind likely to be highly serviceable to those who make the phases of this afflicting dis order their study. The Parliamentary Inquiry respecting Lunatics and the Reeeat Legislation on Criminal Lunatics furnish subjects for considera tion ; and there are papers on " The State of Lu nacy in England," and on " The status of Crime in 1859." The Psychological Quarterly Retrospect finds many painful cases of recent crime, which may justly come under the head of mental aberra tion, and there are several other articles on similar subjects.

(From the limey Market Review.) The report of the Grand Russian Railway Com pany, presented at the meeting last held, enters very fully into the situation and prospects of that gigantic enterprise. At the outset the director a complain, somewhat querulously, of the attacks which they assert to have been made upon them, their engineers, and their general operations. Some of these statements being characterised as based upon prejudice, the directors pass them by without an answer ; but upon other points raised in a bona fide spirit, and the result of more or less well foinded 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 the scheme may be found within the ranks of its own proprietary. Three years ago the company was started with a concession of ten years to complete its system. From the commencement, an expectation appears to have been formed that the works would have been un dertaken on all points at once, and that the whole enterprise would consequently be faished within a short delay. This unreasonable view being naturally disappointed, public opinion ran into the extreme of opposition, 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 they have judged it right 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 Dunaburg, 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 prooeeding which occupied considerable time, owing to the wide range of the com pany's operations, the above undertakings were vig orously prosecuted, and at th e cl os e 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 (£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 tlfat only 306 versts of railway, part of which had been already constructed, have been opened in three years, is unfair, since it omit s to reckon the large wor k s 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 1839, 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 ex p en dit ire o f 705,380 roubles (£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 (X 39,000), against 150,071 roubles (£23,700) in 1849, while tho amount per verst was 851 roubles against 754. This is the more favourable ah it 1S unaccompanied by any material addition to the penses. The augmentation in the receipts con ti nues _ up to the latest date.

Th e total capi tal authorised for the construction of the system was originally 275,000,000 roubles (£43,500,009), d of which 110,000,000 (X 17,400, 90 0) are applied to the first three lines now being made.

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. Everything 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 eiormou,%addition to the existing capital, to the manifest depreciation of the a mount already issued.
