The demand for rice has continued active, chiefly for exportation, and holders again demand enhanced rates. Tallow has been in mode rate request, but owing to large speculative opera tions, quotations for both present and forward de livery have slightly given way. Two o'CLocir.

At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gold fr.= the United State!). Prisoner—You say in your evidence that I threw you down. Now, when I snatched at your purse did you not cling to mo and fall down ? Mr.Flowers—lt will be important to the prisoner for you to answer that question, as it will make a material differ ence in the offence : whether or no it was a highway rub bery with.violenco. Prosecutrix —I think he put out his foot and thus caused me to fall to the ground, but I will not be certain. I can not say positively how it was I fell to the ground. I only clearly recollect being there and the prisoner beating my hand. Mr. Flowers—lt was quite daylight when the robbery occurred. You are quite sure the prisoner is the man that robbed you ? Prosecutrix—Oh, yes. I had a good opportunity o seeing his face. Police-constable 144 said hd was on duty at Somerset House when the prosecutrix informed him of the robbery, and told him the thief had run through the gates. He went in pursuit of him, and meeting with another con stable he told him of the circumstance, and shortly after the prisoner was taken. At the station-house .£1 Bs. Gd. was found on the prisoner—the exact sum prosecutrix had been robbed of. Witness afterwards looked for the purse, and found it on the Thames embankment, very near the spot where the prisoner was secured. It contained a small Swedish coin, which the prosecutrix at once identified as her property. Police-constable 108 F said he was also on duty at So merset House, and, observing the prisoner run down one of the slopes to which there was no thoroughfare, he men tioned the matter to police-constable 144, when he was taken into custody. Mr. Flowers asked whether the prisoner was known ? Sergeant Ackrell said he knew the prisoner to be an old thief. He had been several times in custody, and had been convicted of felony, when he was sentenced to four years penal servitude at the Middlesex Sessions. He had done nothing else but thieving since he had served his sentence. Prisoner—That's wrong. I don't deny the previous conviction ; but I wasn't, as he says, four years, it was only three. Mr. Flowers—Well, that .can be clearly proved on an other occasion. Have you anything to say why I should not commit you for trial ? Prisoner—No ; I've nothing to say. Committed for trial accordingly. Abraham Sidelman, a Frenchman, and Robert Hopewell, were placed at the bar, charged with assaulting the police. Constable Leary, 104 F, said he was on duty in Holborn last night, when a disturbance arose against some women. He went up, and whilst doing so Sidelman struck him ; as he was taking him to the station-house the prisoner Hopewell also struck him. Sidelman said the constable's statement was untrue. He did not strike him—he only interfered when he saw the policeman strike one of the girls, and told him that he would not have done such a thing with impunity had he been in France. Hopewell said he did not strike the policeman. He was altogether mistaken with respect to him. The constable denied striking or even pushing either of the women. Mr. Flowers thought it important that the girl who it was alleged was struck should be in attendance. Sidelman said tho girl was a poor-looking person, and was probably afraid to attend. lir. Flowers said however poor and shabby she might be she would get the same justice as the richest lady in the land. He should adjourn the case, admitting Sidelman to his own bail. Hopewell, who clearly had no right to in terfere, he should fine 2s. 6d. 190 100 100 10 100 100 BRITISH MINNS. Cam. Consol. Cold, Um lehlverton Uliflbrd Amalgamated. Devon G. Cons.

DARING ROBBERY. —John Brown was placed before Mr. Flowers, charged with the following daring robbery. Eliza Wiekelgren, the wife of a cabinet-maker, said last evening about five o'clock she was passing near court, carrying her purse in her hand. The prisoner came up, made a hnatch at it, but ;not succeeding in obtaining possession of it, ho laid hold of her, threw her to the ground and commenced beating her Laud until she was compelled to open it, when the prisoner seized the purse and ran away with it. She got up and pursued him down the court and across the Strand, when she observed him run through the gates of Somerset House, and then, meeting with a constable, she told him of the robbery, and ho went in pursuit of the prisoner. She was certain he was the person who robbed her, as she never lost sight of him until she saw him run into Somerset HOuse. that the prisoner, who had been wearing a hat, was wear ing a cap. He noticed the prisoner pass something to a man, with the remark, " . Good night," and believing it was his watch he followed the prisoner and charged him with stealing it. The prisoner denied having done so, and he then gave him into custody. Benjamin Bishop, of No. 20, Upper Rathbone-place, proved seeing the prisoner and another man, one on each side of the prosecutor. The prosecutor complained of being robbed, and he (witness)saw the prisoner pass some thing to the man, and then they made off. He went after the prisoner and stopped him, and was struck by some of the prisoner's friends. In answer to the prisoner, the witness said he did not see any exchange of hats. Sergeant Cole, C division, said the prisoner was a ticket. of-leave man, the term for which he was sentenced no having yet expired. Mr. Tyrwilitt committed the prisoner for trial. French Theatricals. MANSION-HOUSE. LOITERING IN THE STREETS.. - George "TOMS was charged before Mr. Alderman Lusk, M.P., with being found loiter ing in the streets. Police-Sergeant 55 said that last night, about 12 o'clock, he saw the prisoner walking slowly up and down Gutter lane, and again at 3 o'clock this morning in Foster-lane. In reply to a question as to what he wanted in the streets at that hour, the prisoner said ho had no money to pay for a lodging. Not considering that statement satisfactory, and being informed that the prisoner had been loitering about all night, he took hint into custody. He understood that ho was a returned convict, having obtained a ticket of leave, but his informant was not there iu attendance. The prisoner asked the officer where he had got his in formation as to his being a returned convict. It was quite true that he had been loitering about for the reason he had given, but he denied that he had any improper intent. He had been at a coffee shop until 11 o'clock, and then being unable to remain there, having no money, he was forced to walk the streets. Alderman Lusk inquired what he was ? The prisoner said he was a draper, and was in the habit of buying goods which he soli at a profit. He had Wen allowed £5 a month by his relatives until lately. He had been in Australia, but certainly not as a convict. He was remanded. THEFT BY A SERVANT.—Frances Franklin, a middle aged woman, was charged with stealing property to the value of £3 from the premises, No. 2, Half-moon-place, Half-moon-street, Bishopsgate-street. Elizabeth Cousens said that she was a married woman, and her husband was a tailor. She made up articles for the establishment where he was employed, and the pri soner assisted her. On the 10th instant she sent her for some mangling and she did not return. She discovered a flannel petticoat•and several articles were missing,.and she found on the table in the parlour a number of pawntickets relating to the things which had been pledged at Mr. Horton's, Bishopsgate-street, and at Mrs. Staples', Skinner street. She identified the articles as being the property entrusted to her. The prisoner had been some time in her service. From the evidence of PoliceLconstable Underwood it appeared that the prisoner admitted to him having pledged the things, and also that she had three months in Wands worth House of Correction for a former offence. The prisoner, who made no defence, was remanded till Friday. WESTMINSTER. WOUNDIXG WITH A POKER.—James Woodman, coffee house-keeper in Duke-street, Chelsea, was charged with assaulting and wounding a young man named Hayward. Complainant had his head wrapped up, and had evi dently received a sharp wound. He said he was waiting near the water-side at 2 o'clock this morning at Chelsea to moor some boats, when he suddenly saw a man named Eager, and inquired of him how ho did. At that moment the defendant and his wife rushed forward, and the defen dant struck complainant with a poker upon his head and wounded him badly. Two witnesses were called, who gave exactly the same account of the transaction. Mr. Lewis, solicitor for defendant, said his client's door had been forced open by the complainant and four or five others, and himself and wife beaten seriously. lie rushed after them with the poker and struck complainant. After some evidence, Mr. Selfe said it was quite clear that defendant had struck the wrong man, who had not been in any way to blame. Defendant was committed for two months. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. COMMITTAL FOR THE FULL TERM FOR BRUTALITY TO A WIFE.-William Stephens, a low-looking fellow, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt, on a warrant by O'Shaugh nessy, one of the warrant officers, charged with violently assaulting his wife Mary Ann. The complainant said • The prisoner is my husband, and we reside at No. 3, Prince's-court, Whitcomb-street. On Saturday evening ho kicked me in a delicate part, and have been suffering in consequence ever since. On Sun day evening he said, "I've not done with you yet," and he took the kettle off the fire, the water in it being nearly boiling, and threw it at me, and my arm was so badly scalded that I was obliged to go to Charing-cross Hospital to have it dressed. He has been imprisoned before, being sentenced to one month at the Bow-street police-court for assaulting me, and he has also been bound over to keep the peace towards me. I have led a life of punishment at his iauds. lam suffering from palpitation of the heart. It is no use cautioning him—nothing will do him good. Mr. Tyrwhitt—What is ho ? Complainant—A horse coper. _ _ A Female said—Hearing screams of " Murder," I went up to ascertain the cause, and the prisoner pushed me downstairs, and I nearly killed a child in consequence. He said that if 1 came up again he would kick my teeth out. The prisoner made a ramblinkdefence, and said his wife had often assaulted him. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he considered the prisoner's such a detestable case that ho should commit tho prisoner for six months with hard labour, and at the end of that term he would have to find bail to keep the peace towards his wife. A TICKET-OF-LEAVE MAN AT WORK AGAIN.— Martin Cooper, a ticket-of-leave man, was charged, befure Mr. Tyrwhitt, with the following robbery. Frederick Puschart, a young man residing at No. 3, Little Torrington-street, was in High-street, St. Giles's, trying to prevent a quarrel between two persons, when a crowd collected, and the prisoner stood by his side. Imme diately afterwards he missed his watch, and thou noticed Agricultund Prospects. The week opened with a most unfavourable day, much heavy rain falling at intervals, with a gale of wind. Early on Monday morning the rain was again heavy; wind, west to south-west; thermo meter, 58 degrees ; barometer, 29.80 inches. The day was more favourable, but no harvest work could be proceeded with. On Tuesday the morning was fine and autuamal, cold and breezy, _with slight rain at 3 p.m., and again in the evening. Our advices on that day were as follows :—From the West Riding of Yorkshire—" Since Friday, the weather has, on the whole, been better, and some cawing was done on Saturday. Sunday afternoon was very wet. Monday and to-day fine until 4 p.m. ; but rain now comes freely again, so that but little pro gress can be made in clearing the ground, and the grain shakes out with moving. Our farmers will therefore have plenty of work to make ends meet and tie again. Turnips look well, except where they have been flooded ; but they want dry weather, as well as the potatoes, which are now taking harm." From the East. Riding--" Weather during the week has been very unsettled, with more or less rain almost daily : (5 n Sunday it poured down in torrents for several hours. ' Harvest opera tions have, in consequence, been much impeded, and the bulk of the grain still remains in the fields, while what has been gathered must necessarily be in wretched condition ; to-day, however, is fine, with a rising barometer. Most of the grain in this district will be sprouted and other wise deteriorated in quality by the long-continued untoward weather." From Norfolk : " The weather since Thursday has been more favourable, and har vest is almost completed in the marshland district." From Suffolk : " More corn yet to be secured in this district, and weather unfavourable." From Northumberland : " The weather on Wednesday was dull, but without rain. Since it has been fine, with occasional showers : wind varying from S.W. to W." Wednesday was a favourable morning, but rain followed about three p.m., with occasional showers afterwards. From Lincolnshire, on that day, it was observed : " The weather the past few days has been more favourable for the harvest, and the farmers have been busy with their crops. Should the weather continue fine, the fields will soon be cleared. Both wheat and barley have sprouted." From Nottinghamshire: e "We have had finer weather this harvest has been pushed forward as much as possible arou n d h er e. There week, and the are complaints of barley having sustained consider able injury from the late rains. Wheat is not so badly damaged as was expected." From the west coast of Scotland : " The weather has been fine from Friday up to yesterday forenoon, when heavy rain again set in." Thursday was a cold, boisterous day, with scarcely any sun, dull and gloomy, yet some corn was got up in the north. Our advices from Worcestershire on that day ran thus : " Har vest operations continue to be much impeded by rain, which we experience more or less daily. Farmers appear to take every opportunity of carrying be tween the showers, and thus at least three-fourths of the crops in this district are now secured, a large portion being in wretched condition." From Buck inghamshire our advices stated :—" There is still a large breadth of barley and oats and the weather anything but settled." On Friday there were occa sional showers, and where such was the case little work could be accomplished. Our adVices were as under :----From the West Riding of Yorkshire— Since Tuesday the weather has enabled our farmers to gather a fair portion of their crops even in better condition, from drying winds ; but rain came on heavily again last night. To-day is most dry thus far, but the sky looks unsettled." From the East Riding—" The weather for the past week has been still very unpropitious, much rain having fallen at intervals, which hinders harvest operations, and the crops, a great part of which in this district is still in the fields, are in a critical condition." From Lancashire our advices state- 4, Much rain has con tinued falling, chiefly during the nights; but with breezy days a considerable breadth of the crops has been hurried off the fields from the fear of still further damage being sustained. Notwithstanding the temperature is cool, there are very general com plaints of sprouted grain." From the northern parts of Lincolnshire :—" The weather since my last has been very unpropitious, scarce a day without rain during some part of It ; but in spite of this, owing to good winds, much corn is being gathered, and the bulk of the grain will be got in by a few days hence. Much wheat will be found seriously damaged, and barley equally so. The reports of the yield of wheat are not up to the expectations of the growers." From Devonshire, in the neighbour hood of Exeter, our advices say : " There appears a good deal of both barley and oats still unsaved on some of our hills, but we see nothing out on the line of rail. The wet weather for the last fortnight has stopped thrashing, and the supply at market has been in consequence small. With dry weather I expect much larger supplies." Early on Satarday morning a heavy rain set in, with a cold north easterly wind, which lasted until the afternoon, when the wind veered round to the north-west, and it ceased raining for the remainder of the day. The week, however, closed with a most gloomy aspect for the farmer, and there bids fair to be a most dis astrous finish to the northern harvest, as well as to all late districts ; while, without a favourable change in the weather, the next trouble will be that the land cannot be got ready for the sowing of wheat. It is difficult to foresee the result of this long procrastinated and very expensive harvest. The low temperature has been the means of pre servation from germination up to a certain point ; but beyond this, it has been too wet for such injury being avoided.—Mark-lane Express. THE PRESIDENTIAL TOUT .—The Daily News is of opinion that President. Johnson has acted foolishly, and offended the sensibilities of the American people by his tour through the States. His journey to lay the corner-stone of the Douglas monument wears the aspect of a politi cal pilgrimage to the shrine of his new political faith. In every Northern city there is a large minority who belong to the Democratic party, and who welcome Mr. Johnson as a new and powerful leader with all the enthusiasm of renewed hope. But neither the enthusiasm nor the loud shouts of triumph will have much effect upon the polls. When the shouts have passed away, and the boasting has effected its temporary purpose, Mr. Johnson's speeches will remain on record, and the doings of Mr. Johnson's friends at New Orleans and elsewhere will be exerting their effect, and the electors will be quietly resolving, in the terms of a motto displayed in the loyalists' convention now sitting at Phila delphia, that " Treason defeated in battle shall not rule by ballot." The Northern people have known how to defeat hostile armies in the field—they know how to beat a hostile party and a President who favours aign. The President has u to make them understand his policy, but instead of endorsing it, as he asks succeeded de i d tin in the his ele endeavourc toralcatup them, they will rebuke and defeat it, as the best in terests of their country and humanity demand. The Elector of Hesse, less fortunate than the King of Saxony, as he loses his Crown and his States, has decided, as was recently intimated, on abdica ting ; he; retains all his private fortune, plus an income of 600,000 thalers (2,200,0001.) charned on the State domains, the annual receipts of which exceed five millions of thalers. The Elector is besides authorised to reside wherever he may please, saving in the neighbourhood of Cassel, his old capital. LYRIQUE.—The good people of Paris—for who shall say that there are any bad people in so plea sant .a place ?—well, the Parisians are frequently reproached with their excessive capriciousness and their bad taste in dramatic matters. They have drawn down this reproach upon themselves by flock ing every night to :the Biche aux Bois, the Famille Benoiton, and other dramatic representations of questionable merit. But Paris is not altogether peopled by the foolish and the frivolous. It con tains a vast floating population whose taste is be yond reproach. See how they run to the Theatre- Lyrique. Faust always fills the house, from the poulalier to the extreme verge of the orchestra. !Does not their constancy thus loudly testify to their good taste? Are they, then, powerless to appreciate the boundless beauties of Gounod's style, and the artistic groupings, the admirable arrangement of colours which are combined upon the stage so as to make pleasant pictures in the fancy. To Gouuod and to Mme. Carvalho exclusively appertain the honour of attracting the multitude, for all the rest is sorely in different. M. Carvalho has substituted Monjauze for Michot, Cazaux is the new Mephistopheles, and Mlle. Cornelia plays Siebel. If Michot played the . devil with Dr. Faustus, what can be said of his suc cessor ? M. Carvalho has all Caesar's predilections for obesity. " Let me have men about me that are fat; fellows who have a lean and hungry look cannot hope for an engagement." Now, Monjauze and Cazaux are no disciples of Banting ; they are the fattest artists that ever grunted in Epicurus stye, and a fat Faust • is an anomaly ; so is an obese Mephistopheles. The envoy from the realms of Plutus should be as lithe and nimble as the knight of La Mancha ; and the Faust whom Goethe drew should be a philosophic maypole. We could however look over these abdominal protuberances, a feat which neither of those artists could themselves perform, had they any voices, but they have none. Monjauze seems to re,;ard the entrance to Marguerite's cottage as that seat beneath the shade, " for talking age and whis pering lovers made," since he whispers the exquisite melody " Laisse-moi contempler ton visage," in notes so gentle as to be inaudible. Is this the im passioned love-song with which Faure and Mario electrified us and made us wonder whether any woman could resist such special pleaders ? The Falstaff who pl ays Mephistopheles is the same "stout i party" whom you remember at the Opera ; he is a well-meaning painstaking singer, but, like Words worth's primrose, he is " nothing more." The same may be said of Mdlle. Cornelia. But Mme. Carvalho is perfection. See her clad in complete chastity, walk ing "in maiden meditation fancy free" across her garden, panoplied in all the pride of virginal purity, and mark the beauty of her decadence after the love lorn girl has fallen before the tempter. How sweetly does her mind wander on the " Seigneur" who had accosted her as she sits at her spinning-wheel chanting her ballad, and then mark the maiden's bound into childish glee as she decks herself out in the jewels, the seducer's lure. It is all beautiful from first to last. VAUDEVILLE.—This theatre has had another fiasco, " The Confessions d'un Enfant du Siecle." Jean Jacques' confessions were not particularly palatable, but they are so charmingly told, that we almost forgive him when his reflections upon Madame de Warrens drove him to those excesses into which even Horace fell when he journeyed to Brundusium. The confessions of the enfants of our age are, however, nasty and stupid, far more Irish and less nice than those of either Rousseau or Horace. M. Labreteche is a highly respectable bourgeois, a model husband and father. A snake bites his finger at a menagerie ; the doctors tell him that he must die, the virus is already coursing through his veins, whereupon he makes a clean breast of the Augean stable. This respectable gentleman's death-bed confession is as edifying as Addison's. He sent for young Lord Warwick, to let him see how a Christian could die, bilt unfortunately he died drunk. M. Labreteche, the moral model husband, admits that he had been shockingly immoral in his habits ; he had even in troduced Mlle. Verdurette under the toit conjugal, where, by the way, Asmodeus might find many !Ter - durettes iu the model menages of Paris. He tells how he has defrauded his friends, swindled, cheated, lied, and when he asks for absolution, the doctors find that the cobra capella was but a common harmless snake, with no more venom in its fangs than Sir Toby Belch found in Sir Andrew Ague Cheek. Whatever genus the snake may have belonged to, this new failure at the Vaudeville is of the same genus as the constrictor. NOUVEAUTES.—The Pays de la Gaudriole will re pay ycu for your pilgrimage to this little out-of-the way theatre ; the place is not easily found, you drive up to some unknown regions in the Faubourg St. Martin, you ascend to the third storey—pre miere porte a gauche, and there is the theatre. There you will find yourself in the Pays de la Gaudriole, and'had O'Connell seen its indigenous population he might have waived the Emerald's claims to the " finest pisantry" in the world. A right pleasant country to live in must be this same Pays de la Gaud riole—the plot baffles all description, it has even mastered M. Charles Monselet, whose droll sketch of the Gaudriole, in the Etendard, is confidently submitted to those who don't object to the Gaud riole of the old Gaulois. M. Monselet's critique is even far more amusing than the play itself. Many of the theatres are making ready, awaiting but the words " Present, fire !" from their colonels. Much is expected from the " Parisiens h Londres," at the Porte-St.-Martin. " Je tape dans le tas " is the chiffonieresque title or the piece now in prepa ration at the Delassements-Comiques. M. Sardou has got a piece on the stocks at the Gymnase, " Nos bonsVillageois," promised to us on the 2d October ; and the younger Alexandre Dumas will put " Ma dame Aubray" on the stage next month. "Don Carlos" is detained behind the scenes because the singers can't settle their little rivalries. Verdi is said to be very angry, and well he may. Why does not M. Perrin launch out his quos ego at these ref rac tory artists ? The " Nouveau Cid" has • gone the way of all such too solid flesh—putrescence set in before its appearance on the stage. The purveyors of al fresco entertainments have had a bad season. They display considerable inge nuity in imagining devices to attract the people to their trim gardens on the Forum, but even the most intrepid quail before the meteorological impedi ments to pleasure, for who would care to listen to music in a macintosh ? Jacques loved to sit and muse under the shade of melancholy boughs, but would his philosophy have sustained him under the shade of a melancholy umbrella ? M. de Besselievre, the entrepreneur of the concerts in the Champs- Elysees, 'presents his customers with their photo graphs. Acquit us, gentle reader, of the imper tinence of attempting to make you poser ; the photographer will perform that part of the business for you, and you can hear some good music to boot, and all for a franc—c'est pour rien. At Asnieres they have Blondin. At Mabille and the Chateau- Rouge they have all the amusements, or some of those which Horace loved, though the fair habituees might not perhaps come up to his idea of the " Nymphasque decentes." And as to the Hippodrome you can see Sara l'Africaine much in the same cos tume as decked the lovely limbs of lingo's Sara la Baigneux, and a wonderful Nubian is this swarthy ecuAre ; so black that charcoal would make a white mark upon her face, and she bounds over and under, on and off her flying steed with wondrous agility, so that we found ourselves following the Bedford motto, and shouting out " Che Sara, Sara." There is a wonderful biography about her. She was sold into slavery, and passed with a batch of other chattels into the possession of the Emperor Theodorus. But her adventurous spirit enabled her to break the bounds of the harem ; she escaped to the desert, caught a horse from the wild herd that never needs a fold.---" Oh, give me but my Arab steed"—and without saddle or bridle, or even a halter, she gal loped across the desert to the Hippodrome. The sn,ring smile of the sceptic is suggessive of Bar num's finger in this biography —but avaunt ye dis believers ! It must be all true, since the most vivacious of all chroniclers, in the Gazette des Strangers, gives the high sanction of his authority for the facts.

NEWMARKET. Upwards of eighty " strangers" having arrived in the course of Sunday and Monday, the Long Hill, the race-course, and other portions of the heath, were completely covered with horses at exer cise this (Tuesday) morning. Of course the observed of all observers were Lord Lyon, Savernake, Knight of the Crescent, and Achievement, the first and last of whom unexpectedly arrived by special train the afternoon previously. Knight of St. Michael led Knight of the Crescent a nice steady gallop on the Bury side of the town, where Gladiateur usually does his work, and the two knights went brilliantly along. Gardevisure took Lord Lyon a nice breather up the hill, and the latter goes as free as ever, but sweated much. Savernake pleased us more than ever, for his action was grand, and he was as lively as a kitten. Os tregor went at a walking pace, and so did thb improved 0 ut-and- uter. Gownsman is lame. The Baron's team did good work, especially Janitor and Hippia, and Breeze is m ending ; but for the Cesa rew it c h we still h av e an idea . that Lothario will be the trusted one. Broormelaw showed a deal of temper this morning, but Bread albane went striding along quietly and in good form. Sultan is looking and going first-class ; so do Master Richard and 11 Re Galautaomo. Nu begins to look very light now, but Jollity gets on first-rate in her long work. Saladin is full of flesh. The Rake is very fit. The training grounds were too crowded to do any particular amount of exercise, but most of the animals galloped from a mile to a mile and three-quarters or so. IL SLEY. Lord Lyon and Achievement, despite the short work they have done recently, have gone to New market with others of Mr. Sutton's, and several of Mr. Ten Broeck's, Claymore, Fitzroy, Paris, Peon, and Slender being amongst the American string ; and it is very likely the latter will remain at head quarters for some time, as is customary with them at the back eud of the year. All were looking well ; but we fear for " the brother and sister" this essay. This morning Jezabel and Grisette had a nice gal lop, after which the former led the yearlings their ordinary work. _Rust and General went steadily. Gay Tom, the Celt, Threadbare, Aggravator, Vampire, Vocalist, and others got through a fair amount of exercise. MARLBOROUGH. Savernake was despatched in a van to Newmar ket yesterday after our notes were transmitted from Bunablekite and Stratheonan are at Newmarket both are fit. This morning Zenubia and Moldavia, in the big autumn handicaps, galloped a couple of miles beautifully, led by Empress of India. Beatrice took Plaudit and Rose a nice striding gallop ; and El Cid pioneered Graciosa. The Admiral followed hawk swell a mile, but Newland merely trotted, a s did Chatsworth. Lozenge, like Rounds, again was merely walking. Louisa, Violet, Elvire, and othert4 galloped over three-quarters of a mile. LAMBOURNE. We have a very short team at Newmarket this week, Mr. klerry's horses being too moderate, and Mr. Graham keeping his for later events. Excel er is not at work just now. Regalia and Chepstow were eased a few days back, but are now pushing along. The former galloped a mile and three quarters steadily by herself this morning; an d Caithness did a mile and a half. Chepstow cantered a mile twice, fast. Mirella is absent ; and Watch, box walking again. Pluto and Marco Spada are spinning along beautifully ; so are Beanstalk, Nor_ manby, and Ornament. RICHMOND.

A report has been issued by the committee of in vestigation appointed at the general meeting of shareholders of the Buenos Ayres Great Southern Railway Company (Limited.) They conclude with the following : " Your committee have carefully inquired into the pro bable results of the future working of the line, as, however satisfactory it may be to have the Government guarantee of 7 per cent., that is not a return with which the shareholders should rest content. The returns, up to the present time, are of too experimental a nature to afford any sufficient basis for calculation on this subject ; but the opinion of Mr. Parish and the engineers is in favour of a large increase in. traffic. Already villages are beginning to spring up at various points in its course where there were previously mere wastes. At Chascomus, the southern tertainueof the line, 72 miles from Buenos Ayres, building has been stimu lated, and the population along the lino are beginning to understand the facilities which the railway presents to them.

THE WEATHER IN SCOTLAND.--A change highly favourable for the progress of harvest operations has occurred in the weather of the past two days. Both Satur day and Monday were fine autumn days ; with a gentle breeze blowing from the south-east ; whilst at night the moon shone with full " harvest" brilliance. The weather has some appearance of being settled. —Scotsman.
