MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The rebound from stringency to easiness in the r ates for discount has been so rapid that the com ,lll,ercial community has had little time to change `fteir course of action in the Southern hemisphere, Australia, and also in South America. The mer cantile requi remen t s o f this country are, therefore, ior the present rather limited, and as money is su perabundant, the rates continue to tend down- Wa rd• In the open Money Market the quotations for the best bills are fully per cent. below the Exchan ge, minimum, viz., 43. per cent. At the Stock ''' l change, also, loans on Government Securities are I LI very m o d era t e reques t, an d th e c h arges f rom d a y ° daY on English Government Securities are 33- and 4 per cent. The movements of the precious metals during the I)4 t Week have been on a limited scale. The im- NOB have . amounted to about £363,635, the greater /jlpr tien of which has arrived from America and the Ea st Indies. The exports have amounted to £412 ,500, a large proportion of which has been , " eB Patched to the continent. The France has been announced this morning 4°ltiVera Cruz with £300,000 in specie. The liquidators of the English Joint Stock Bank ha le arranged to pay the dividend of Bs. in the Ntald, at the offices of the bank, on the 10th, 11th, 2 th, and 13th instant. At the bullion department of the Bank of Eng rd, yesterday afternoon, there was an influx of 8 ,000 in bars, and 3,000 sovereigns. There was , 80 a withd rawa l o f £288,000 for shipment to N e w "York. Two O'CLOCK. t:e At the Paris Bourse to-day, according to Reuter's 7 1e grara, the 3 per Cent. Renter were dealt in at 'I. 30c.

It bears the following simple inscription :—" Spoke : In me mory Victoria, Nyanza, and the Nile." TRADE WITH JAPAN.—The London Gazette of last night contains the copy of a commercial convention and a revised tariff, signed at Jeddo on the 25th of Juno last, between the Government of Japan and the representa tives of the Governments of Great Britain, Franco, Hol land, and the United States of America. THE HARVEST.—The harvest has been closed in the eastern counties under very unfavourable circumstances the weather during the past week having been extremely inclement. The great bulk of the cereal crop has, however, been secured in fair condition. There are complaints as to potato disease in, several Lnalitiee, Emigration of Young Women under Miss Rye's Scheme. By the Red Jacket, which left the Mersey for Melbourne on the 30th ult., that indefatigable emi gration reformer, Miss Rye, sent out the first com pany of young women under the new regulations secured by her personal visit to the Australian colo nies. Miss Rye, after four years' travelling and effort in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, New Zealand, and the other emigration fields of the antipodes, has returned with powers which go far to remove the difficulties that stood in her way when she began her good work, five years since. She has control of Government funds amounting to about £3,000 per month for the purpose •of sending out emigrants, suitable for the requirements of the colonies, in such a way as secures them from the evils—overcrowding, bad sanitary arrangements, and prevalent immorality—which have done so much to discourage the emigration of respectable people to that part of the world. The Scotsman gives the following particulars of Miss Rye's work : _ _ " With the view of ascertaining by personal ob servation the condition of things under which these Government emigrants leave this country, our corre spondent visited the depot at Birkenhead while they were quartered there previous to embarkation, and l i the vessel itself, which lay alongside the depot, directly accessible from the latter by a large covered gallery. He found there in all about 360 emigrants ; of whom 100 were known as "Rye's young women," about as many more young women holding warrants of emigration issued by the Government of Victoria in the colony, several families, and a considerable number of young men. The party under Miss Rye's care were girls especially selected by herself. The qualifications insisted upon in these cases are good health and good moral character. The first is tested by medical examination ; the second partly by reference, and mainly by Miss Rye's personal in tercourse with them. These two requisites, being secured, the girls are passed from their homes to the colony free of cost to themselves, except to the extent of 10s. for bedding, &c., on board ship. They are received in the first install& into the home depot, placed by Miss Rye under the care of a qualified matron on board ship, and at the end of the voyage received into the Government Emigrant's Home in Melbourne until they are providei with employers, who must themselves be accredited persons of good character. To show the kind of regulation existing in this respect, we may state that no publican is allowed to engage a girl from the Emigrants' Home, or indeed any girl who has not Men long enough in the colony to have gained some practical experience of life there. In the present instance Miss Rye's 100 consists of 72 English girls, 7 Scotch, and 21 Irish, all well formed, healthy, intelligent, and of respect able appearance. About the whole company there was an air of self-respect and business-like indepen dence, combhied with modest decorum, which spoke well for Miss Rye's fitness to discharge the task she has undertaken, and promised as well for the com munity of which these girls are about to become members. Many of them seemed to be country girls, accustomed to exercise and hard work. All were qualified for domestic service in one form or other, and seemed to be of a higher class than the average of our domestic servants at home. " The other girls, who were not under Miss Rye's care, were what are called ' warrant-holders.' That is, they receive their passage to Melbourne by vir tue of Government warrants or passes obtained for them, and paid for at a remarkably low rate, by re latives or friends in the colony. These are going out to fathers, brothers, cousins, or to future husbands ; and the Government will cease to be responsible for them upon their arrival at Mel bourne, where they will be handed over to their friends. The remaining emigrants on board the Red Jacket, excepting only seven families under Miss Rye's care, sent out on nearly the same terms as her girls, were also warrant-holders. Most of these belonged to the classes most suited to emigra tion—labourers, artisans, farm-girls, home-servants, and so on. Of the married men who went out with their families under Miss Rye's direction, one was a carpenter, one painter„ one plumber, and the others similar trades. " Our correspondent was much interested by the arrangements on board ship. The Red Jacket is a large ship, broad of beam and roomy, fitted up with accommodation for 700 or 800 emigrants. There are three large cabins set apart respectively for single men, single women, and married people with their families. Tho single men's cabin is forward, the single women's aft, with the married people's cabin amidships. It is with the single women's quarters we are at present most concerned, and a description of the department in which they are lodged will serve pretty nearly as a description of the other sec tions. This cabin is a large, commodious, and well ventilated apartment, with 125 berths, for the ac commodation of 250 girls, and provided with 20 or 30 mess-tables. The berths are all furnished with bedding, and curtained off from the body of the cabin. They are arranged' in racks, or sets, with 12 berths (for 24 girls) in each rack, and are both larger and further apart than is usual in the steer ages on board even passenger ships of the best lines. Adjoining the cabin are a lavatory, with large zinc troughs and small basins (this lavatory, by-the-by, though large, might be a little larger with advan tage) ; a dispensary, from which the ship's doctor dispenses only for the cabin, the others having each its own dispensary ; the matron's dormitory ; the hospital, capable of holding 30 or 40 patients ; and other necessary adjuncts. " The discipline of the ship is equally well understood from the regulations of this depart ment. No man is allowed free access to this cabin, except the doctor. This gentleman, who has made several trips to Australia and back, has already so far gained the confidence of the authorities that his remuneration has increased each voyage. By a salutary regulation his pay de pends upon his success in keeping the passengers healthy ; for he will receive £1 a-head for every emigrant he lands in Melbourne alive from the Red Jacket. Ile acts as chaplain to the ship, and is in vested for the time being with full magisterial powers. The only other persons, except, under regulations, the captain or his deputy, admitted at any time to the cabiu, are certain of the married men, who are appointed to receive the stores from the single men, who bring them from the forward hatches and deposit them amidships, and convey them to the single women's cabin. Constables are appointed from amongst the married men, to pre vent communication between the forward and after cabins ; and any breach of these regulations is punishable with 24 hours' in the black-hole. The girls are separated into messes of eight in each. Each mess has its own " captain"—the woman ap pointed as cook for the voyage—and its own table. Each woman has her own plate, basin, knife and fork, &c., and a bag to put them in, which hangs by the side of her berth, in company with the bag containing her clothes. It is the duty of the " cap tain" of each mess to keep clean the table utensils of the mess, and to preside over the mess at meals. The other girls are appointed in turns to scrub the floors, tables, berths, and fittings of the cabin, to wash clothes, And otherwise take their share in the common duty of preserving cleanliness and health. "It is obvious that these arrangements have been carefully made, and that they are about as perfect as such arrangements can be. The Emigration Commissioners have had before them the sad expe rience blunders and crimes in emi gra ti on m provisions and regulatio ns h ave not While their ships a re fit te d transport,coefe tOO o n d y mthesesoon. and arranged upon some such plan as this, those emigrants, and friends of emigrants, who are wise and well disposed, must see the importance of pre ferring government supervision to the accidents and often systematic mismanagement of private vessels. The Red Jacket starts with every advantage. She is far from overcrowded, and her passengers are healthy as far as can be known. It is greatly to the credit of Miss Rye that she has made it a positive condition of her taking part in this work that her girls shall be sent out only in government ships. Such arrangements are the best means of compelling a reform in the emigration traffic, and in emigrant ships generally. Miss Rye's influence amongst the young women of the country is great, and deserves to be greater, for while her kindness of heart and self -sacrificing interest in the work commands their confidence, her prompt and business-like acuteness assures the selection of such emigrants as will do credit to themselves and to the colonies to which they go. Her next company will be despatched in October, and in the meantime she will be occupied in receiving applications and examining applicants for her next shipment. The Atlantic Cable of 1865.

" By telegram we learn that the steamer France, belonging to the Compagnie Generale Transatlantique, arrived at St. Nazaire yesterday, bringing dates from Vera Crux Aug. 13th, Havannah 18th, and St. Thomas 24th ; 400 passengers ; and 81,500,000 for London and Paris. Subjoined is a very important circular issued this morning : You will have learned f ro.n the public prints that on Thursday last an order was obtained from the Court of Chancery authorising this committee and its solicitors, Messrs. Lewis and Lewis, of Ely-place, Holborn, assisted by Mr. Oswald Howell, of the firm of Walker, Reddall, Nix, and Howell, accountants, of No. 39, King-street, Cheapside, to investigate the books and accounts cf 0 verend, Gurney and Co. (Limited). The undersigned having formed themselves into a committee on behalf of the shareholders, ho pe, through the instrumentality of their professional auxi liaries, to establish grounds for resisting the payment of the call of £10; for holding the whole of the directors responsible for the capital of the company ; and generally for promoting the interests of the shareholders in this disastrous concern. In order to carry out these important objects it will be necessary to raise a defence fund at the rate of so much per share. The proportion will, of course, depend on the number of co-operating shareholders and shares re presented, but we have no reason to suppose that under any circumstances it can exceed five shillings per share. At all events, the undersigned have already received so many spontaneous promises of aid from shareholders very largely interested, that they confidently expect such an amount of support as will reduce the charges much below the foregoing estimate, and they consider it onlynecessary at present that with the annexed authority a provisional payment of 2s. Gd. per share should be remitted. In the event of your agreeing to support this committee you will be kind enough with all convenient speed to sign the an nexed authority and forward it with the proposed remit tance (either by Post-office order or by a cheque crossed ' Bank of England," payable to Mr. Oswald Howell) to the undersigned at the above address. ALARMING ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon a very alarming accident occurred in the Victoria station of the Brighton and Chatham and Dover Railway Companies. It appears that one of the Brighton Company's trains, con sisting of five empty carriages, was standing in the " shunting-yard," about to be shunted. The train due et Victoria station from the Crystal Palace at 2.11 then neared the station, when the signalman turned the lever in his signal box, in order to shunt the Crystal Palace train on to its proper platform. The connecting rod of the shunt, however, broke and the points remained open, allowing the Crystal Palace train to run on to the line upon which the Brighton train was standing. A collision then ensued, in which two of the carriages of the Brighton train wore smashed to atoms and the other three were more or less injured. The Crystal Palace train was one of those in which the carriages are closely coupled, and it is stated that had they been coupled by ordinary irons the force of tho collision would have overturned the whole of them. By means of the close coupling, however, not one was thrown off the line, and the lives of many passengers wore by this means saved. The damage to the Crystal Palace train in comparison with that of the Brighton was very slight. The whole of the roof lamps were smashed, as well as the lamps in the guard's break-van. The engine fortunately was a new tank engine, one specially em ployed upon the Crystal Palace line, and of extreme power. It has sustained some damage, and will require repairing. One of the guards—Robbins—states that he looked out of window and saw that an accident was inevitable, and at once applied the break, but while in the act the collision took place, and ho was thrown from one end of the car riage to the other. He has sustained a severe contusion ou his arm. Many of the passengers were much shaken. FLOODS IN THE MIDLAND COUNTIES, Sept. 7. After a slight cessation of rain on Thursday the weather again became stormy, and through the remainder of the day and night heavy and deluging rains havo fallen. In conse quence of the great quantity of moisture which has fallen during the past fortnight, there are inundations in man y districts of the midland counties, and there is now no doubt that a great deal of damage will be done. Between Keg worth and Loughborough there is a great quantity of water out, and cattle have been with difficulty extricated from the flood. The crops (particularly barley) are suffering. A great deal of that which has not been gathered is soddened and stained, and in some places has sprouted. At Aslock ton, between the rivers Trent and Smite, the land is under water. The meadows between Beeston and 'Sawley are submerged ; and, indeed, in the vale of the Trent gene rally the waters have appeared, and, as there is every ap pearance of unsettled weather, a much greater and very probably much more disastrous flood will take place than has occurred at this time of the year in the midland coun ties for many years. At Burton-on-Trent and other dis tricts in Staffordshire the floods have appeared. Harvest has been greatly retarded, and much of the grain—that which has remAined so long in the field—will be of very inferior quality. Throughout Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Notts, and Derbyshire there was a good breadth housed before the heavy - rains had done much damage ; some has unfortunately been carted too precipitately. Around Bourn, Louth, and Spilsby the rains have been deluging, causing injury to all kinds of produce. In some parts of Notts very little has been done in the fields during the past fort night, and consequently the condition of the grain is suf fering, The barometer remains low, the waters are still rising, and there is every indication of continued moistnrow A fair breadth of grain in some districts of these counties has been well cleared. Around Stamford there is not much remaining out, and from Tallington to Peterborough nearly all the grain is cleared. THE ROYAL VISIT TO DUNROBIN.—The Inverness Courier, referring to the report of the postponement of the long-looked for visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Dunrobin Castle, says :—" A circumstance has just occurred that creates some uncertainty as to whether the visit will take place this year. The King and Queen of Denmark have announced an intention of coming to this country on a visit to the Prince and Princess of Wales, and should this take place at the time set apart for the northern journey it would be necessary for their Royal Highnesses to postpone the latter and proceed to England." The Northern Emign, however, says it is still believed that their Royal Highnesses will be present at the review on the 29th curt., and that the Prince of Wales will in person take the command. A distinguished party is to be at the castle, including Lord and Lady Grosvenor and the Earl and Countess of Caithness.—Edinburgh Courant. FRENCH GENERALS RISEN FROM THE RANKS. — England has no parallel instance to show of pro motions from the ranks of the army to the highest mili tary offices, which have been so common in France since the first revolution. "La carriero ouverte aux talents" has there received many illustrations, which would doubt less be matched among ourselves were the road to promo tion as open. Roche, Humbert, and Pichegru began their respective careers as private soldiers. Roche, while in the King's army, was accustomed to embroider waistcoats to enable him to earn money wherewith to purchase books on military science. Kleber, Lofevre, Suchet, Victor, Lannes, Soult, Massena, St. Cyr, D'Erlon, Murat, Attge reau, Bessieres, and Ney all rose from the ranks. In some cases promotion was rapid, in others it was slow. . . . Ney enlisted at 18 in an hussar regiment, and gradually advanced step by step ; Kleber soon discovered his merits, surnaming him " The Indefatigable," and promoted him to be adjutant-general when only 25. On the other hand Soult was six years from the date of his enlistment before ho reached the rank of sergeant. But Soult's advancement _ was rapid compared with that of Massena, who served for 14 years before he was made sergeant; and though he afterwards rose successively, step by step, to the grade of colonel, general of division, and marshal, ho declared that tho post of sergeant was the step which of all others halt cost him the most labour to win. Similar promotions from the ranks in the French army have continued down to our own day. Changarnier entered the King's bodyguard as a private in 1815. Marshal Bugeaud served four years iu the ranks, after which he was made an officer. Marshal Randon, the present French Minister of War, began his military career as a drummer boy ; and in tho portrait of him in the gallery of Versailles his hand rests upon a drum head, the picture being thus painted at his own re quest. Instances such as these inspire French soldiers with enthusiasm for their service, and each private feels that he may possibly carry the baton of a marshal in his knapsack. —Self Help, New Edition. DIRECT COMMISSIONS.—We are requested to state that from the Ist of January, 1867, until further notice, the ago of candidates examined for direct appoint ments will be from 17 to 20 years for the infantry, from 17 to 22 years for the cavalry, and from 17 to 26 years for colonial corps. BANQUET TO MR. BRIGHT.----Mr. John Bright has consented to receive the address which was passed to him at a pablio meeting in Rochdale a short time ago at a ban quet that is to be held some time in the month of October. Earl Russell, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. J. S. Mill, Mr. W. H. Leatham, Mr. E. A. Leatham, Mr. G. Wilson, Professor Fawcett, and other distinguished gentlemen, are invited to be present. A spacious mill belonging to the Co-operative Store, which will accommodate 8,000 persons, has been secured by the committee to hold the banquet in, and the interesting event will be on a grand scale.—Manchester Examiner. - • . NOTES FROM TRAINING DISTRICTS. (THIS DAY.) [The Doncaster St. Leger is near at hand, to be rapidly succeeded by.the Cesarewitch and Cam ;bridgeshire, the weights for which are now pub- L 'shed. Turfites are deeply interested in the results a these three great events, and are anxious to gl can all reliable information as to how the several caL didates are progressing in their preparation. T o L Beet the requirements of our numerous sporting subset! bers, we have made arrangements to be fur nished daily with Special Notes from the various Training Districts, so as to keep our readers well " posted up" on the actual work done each morn ing by the principal competitors for the leading current racing tournays.] Naval and Military Intelligence. The Dart, 4, screw despatch gun vessel, commis sioned at Portsmouth by Commander Marcus Low ther, is completing her stores and general equipment for service on the West Coast of Africa. The Earnest, wooden gunboat, 60-horse power, is ordered from Portsmouth to Harwich, to relieve the present gunboat tender to the steam ;Coastguard ship at that port. The Hector and Pallas, ironclads, under orders to join the Channel fleet at Portland, remain at Spit head, but are expected to sail at the latest early on Monday morning. The Hector Will tow au unarmed mortar float round for lighter service at Portland. A considerable augmentation has been made in each department of the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich, in fulfilment of orders from the Secretary for War, and at no time since the outbreak of the Russian war has there been such a demand for extra hands as at present, about 400 artificers having been added to the Royal carriage department alone. Some difficulty, itis stated, is experienced in obtain ing the temporary services of competent men, such as able and experienced carpenters and wheelwrights, to fill up the vacancies created by the removal of a number of men belonging to those trades to the new iron works. Now that a pressing demand has been made by the Admiralty for a ready supply of arma ments for the ships of the fleet it is found necessary to seek for an additional number of men to supply the places of those who were rejected when the old carpenters' shops were converted into smitheries and machinery rooms, and the carpenters' branch was much reduced. A large number of gun carriages, slides, &c., is being constantly issued and shipped for Portsmouth, Devonport, and Chatham, and 50 others, partly completed, are promised for Ports mouth by the end of the present month. They are to consist of 6i and 12-ton guns, for ships' use, and 7-ton for land service. The weight of the carriages and slides is respectively 37kcwt. and 56kcwt. They are all of the new wrought-iron plan now generally introduced for land and sea ser vice. The War Department steam vessel Lord de Grey and Ripon, T. H. Moore, master, yesterday shipped ten 12-ton guns, &c., for Portsmouth, .and went down the river to the Lower Hope on trial, after some repairs and alterations to her boilers which were found satisfactory, her average speed being 10k knots per hour. The War Department vessel Thames, J. Hornsey, master, in command, sailed from Woolwich Arsenal, partially laden with stores, under orders to call at Purfleet, to ship powder for Shoeburyness, to pro ceed to Sheerness, Upnor Castle, and Chatham, and at the latter place. rrh Leonard Hills, yesterday w t o en l a t n de d ow guns, charteredntso, lsNh, Woolwich transport o t , w sh i l , & e., Arsenal, under orders to ship stores for Dublin, including 15 tons of ball cartridges. Her Majesty's paddlewheel vessel Medusa, Com mander Thomas Potter, yesterday commenced un shipping the large amount of ammunition ordered to be returned to Woolwich from Portsmouth, as referred to in The bun of yesterday. An additional number of hands were sent on board in order to effect the removal into lighters for despatch to Gravesend, for embarcation as early as possible, and which may probably be completed to-day. The Medusa may then return to her post at Sheerness. Her Majesty'spaddlewheel steam frigate Leopard, 18, Capt. Capt. C. T. Leckie, from China, arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday evening. She left Madeira on the Ist inst. The Spanish frigate Gerona had captured off that island the steamship Tornado, from England, ostensibly for carrying illicit aid to the Peruvians, and had sent her to Cadiz. The Gerona was left looking out for the Cyclone, another steamer alleged to be engaged in the sa me pursuit as the Tornado. The Volunteers and the Belgian Tir National The joint labours of the Belgian Commission and the English Volunteer Committee have resulted in the issue of a tolerably perfect programme of the proceedings at Brussels, commencing on the 23d inst. The Volunteers will be able to compete, as in previous years, at the ordinary shooting of the Tir National, 225 metres (about 250 yards), with the same regulations that applied last year. But the class of shooting which more particularly appeals to our riflemen will be that at long ranges, now in troduced for the first time in Belgium. Prizes have been offered by the King, the Government, and the Garde. Civique, and one series is open to riflemen of all countries bearing military weapons without covered or magnifying sights or hair triggers. The ranges will be 450 metres (about 500 yards) and 550 metres (about 600 yards). The targets will be similar to those used at Wimbledon for the Swiss Carton prizes, two yards square, with a bull's-eye of 24 inches, counting four points ; a centre of 48 inches, counting three points, the outer counting two points. Five shots are allowed at each distance, two sighting shots in addi tion. There will be no charge made for entrance fees or sighting shots, but the list of competitors will be closed on the 20th. Entries are to be made to the Hon Secretaries of the English Com mittee at 79, Basinghall-street. A special competi tion has been also arranged for English Volunteers only, prizes having been offered by the Belgian rifle men who visited Wimbledon last July, by the Chasseurs Eclaireurs of Brussels, by the second legion of the Garde Civique of Brussels, and by others. Seven shots are to be fired at 450 and 550 metres, regulation long Enfield rifles, with Government ammunition, alone being admissible to this con test. Targets and scoring are to be on the Wimble don system, and the Hythe position adopted. These prizes must be shot for in uniform, 14 marks to be made at the shorter range to qualify competitors to shoot at 550 metres, two sighting shots allowed at each range. There will be no entrance fee for this competition. The special fetes organised for the entertainment of our Volunteers are numerous, and show that the Belgians are determined to repay, with heavy inte rest, the hospitality received by their representatives in this country last July. On Saturday evening, the 22d, there is to be a torchlight reception to the Vo lunteers at the railway station, whence they are to be marched to the Hotel de Ville, there to be pre sented with the yin d'honneur by the burgomaster— the same evening a route is to be given by the Lite rary and Artistic Club. On Sunday there will be an official reception at the Tir National, steeplechases, and a ball. On Monday evening a military concert at the Zoological Gardens, and a ball given by the Reunion Lyrique ; on Tuesday evening a ball, given by the Societe de Grande Harnaonie ; on Wednes day a fete, illuminations, &e., in the gardens of the Zoological Society ; on Thursday a State visit to the Opera by the King, when scats will be specially re served for Volunteers ; on `Friday an excursion to Antwerp on the speaial invitation of the Garde Civique of that city ; on Saturday a public banquet and promenade concert. The South-Eastern and Chatham Dover Railways have agreed to start trains from their several metro politan termini at 7.25 a.m. on the 22d inst. Special boats and trains will convey the Volunteers from Dover to Brussels, in time for the reception in the evening. The fares will be, for return tickets avail able for a month, 325. 6d. first class, and 225. second class. The English Volunteer Committee have had a by no means easy task in arranging these details, the active honorary secretaries having anything but a sinecure in their respective departments. Lieut. Farley (29th Kent) has visited Brussels this week to perfect the programme, Mr. Bigmore (Ist Surrey) having charge of the English correspondence. It is fully anticipated from the interest manifested by Volunteers from all parts of the country that a largo number will avail themselves of the opportunity of spending a pleasant holiday in Belgium.

Yes pasian wont on from Warwick, and Thomas is to ride him in the Leger, to cut out the work for Lord Lyon. Neither of Godding's horses are fit for the big race, and the roan colt will be found the best. Ho merely cantered and galloped a mile and a quarter to-day. Artesian is very ripe. Nu has been eased, and is not likely to run for the Great Yorkshire Handicap, after all. Knight of the Garter galloped over a mile this morning. Tourmalin and Tormentor (We latter of whom is badly treated in the Cosarowitch, and will not run) each did a couple of miles. RICHMOND. Podargus followed Pedant a mile and three-quarters to day; and both Quick March and Bumble Kite did first rate work Stmthconan went over two miles, led by Lozenge, and accompaniedby Dolan. The latter is a good outsider for the Great Yorkshire Handicap. Newland, Chatsworth, and Feomy galloped a mile beautifully. MARLBOROUGH. Savernake was eased a little this morning, for he and Bmdamante went a mile and a half very steadily. He is an uncertain horse, and though he lost his trial he may confirm the Derby 'form. The Mayonaise fillies did well, and go to Doncaster with the above couplet. ILSLEY. Lord Lyon went the Horse-shoe Gallop (two miles and a half) at a sweating pace this morning, steered by Cus tance, and in the presence of Col. Pearson and Mr. Sutton. Split the Difference led the crack. Achievement also took a good gallop ; and the brother and sister leave for Don caster on Monday morning. MALTON. Westwick, Knight of the Crescent, War, and Knight of St. Michael, galloped a couple of miles this morning, going splendidly. Arthur Edwards is to ride the first named in the Leger. Skylark went a mile and a half. Tho Grand Cross moved freely. Gipsy Queen, Klarnot, and Queen of Nuts, are fit. STOCKBRIDGE. Gomera led Rustic two miles this morning, and the latter is much improved and must get a place for the Leger. Repulse and Ischia went a mile and three quarters. Har penden and Sweet Anne galloped a mile; they have won their trials. The above are all we are likely to have at Doncaster, as The Duke and Uncas aro not in work just now. SPORTING PROPHECIES ON THE ST. LEGER. (From Bell's Life.) Wo do not perceive that there is more than the chapter of accidents to interfere with the success of LORD LYON. Immediately following whom we expect to see Strath. conan and Savernake, the grey being the best outsider in tho race. ORANGE BLOSSOM. On Richmond's delight —ho's a grey, not a roan 'un— I've staked my last groat—Heaven pardon my sins. And my private belief is, that failing STRATJICONAN, The Aylesbury jacket on SA.VEIINAKE wins ! (From the Sportsnum) BEACON. I consider tho raco a " moral" for eithor Lord Lyon or Savernake, and for tho reasons above stated I give the preference to Loiu LION, whom I expect to see accom plish the triple victory as cleverly as did Gladiateur last year. - VIGILANT. I must reluctantly confess that .1. now think Savernake will be again defeated by LORD LYON. (From the Sunday Times.) VATICINATOR. We cannot go against our early loves ; and shall venture to anticipate Judge Clark's verdict thus:—Loan LYoN, 1 ; Savornako, 2 ; Knight of the Crescent, 3; leaving Strath conan and Wcstwick to head the succeeding lot. (From the Sporting Life.) AUGUR. The more I look at it the greater certainty does the race resolve itself into for Lord Lyon, and, having public form. alone to guide me, I fully expect to see foremost places oc cupied by the same animals who rendered themselves famous at Epsom ; in fact, the Derby result prophesies the St. Leger issue, and when the judge pronounces his verdict it will be iu favour of LORD LYON. (From the Sporting Gazette.) MERLIN. I shall bring my somewhat lengthy remarks to a close, with another "plumper" for LORD LYON. COCK ROBIN. Now inch by inch, and foot by foot, steals up the red and black, For Savernako is stopping swift and surely to the crack, The chesnut 'suitors in his stride, and hangs towards the bay, And grimly Custanco smiles, for ho can tell whoso is the day. A moment more—and closely locked the champions seem to fly, But death is in the fielders' hearts, and ours the victory; For flashed along a hundred wires before the sun went down, Were the tidings that LORD LYON had achieved the triple crown ! TROUBADOUR. `rive "rouge et noir," the "red and the black," As at Baden, so we sing, too ; And if for a place the Knight you back, You'll paddle the winning canoe. So, back LOICD LYON for all you're worth, A race horse honest and true; Never flinch, nor frown, keep putting it down, And "paddle your own canoe !" (From the Field.) Our faith is in Lord Lyon and Savernake, and as we must stand or fall with one horse, LORD LYON, for the third time in these columns, shall be our champion, and next to the Derby winner we apprehend Savemake and Knight of the Crescent will be found. (Frans the Era.) TOUCIISTONEL Rustic has shown so much improvement at home during the past few days that he will be quite a different horse to what he was when he last ran, and, remembering how he disposed of Mr. Sutton's colt at the Royal Meeting, when the latter was thought to be a certainty, we sha 11 take no notice of the defeats of the Duke's representative at Epsom and York, and place the leading three thus :—RusTic, 1; Lord Lyon, 2 ; Knight of the Crescent, 3. Tim STABLE MOUSE. Both the Duke of Beaufort and the Marquis of Hastings have backed Lord Lyon for a large stake, and continue to lay odds upon him, while the latter peppers Rustic at every convenient opportunity. At the price, however. I consider him the best place investment, and with Fordhain's artistic assistance, coupled, perhaps, with a silont but deep reso lution to have his revenge, at least, upon Strathconan, I shall be much disappointed if be fails to o btain a situation, albeit not the first:—Lour Lio n, 1; Savernake, 2; Rustic, 3. (From the Weekly Times.) FLY-BY-NIGHT. I think - , when the num bers are hoisted, the result will be—Loinli ra s, 1; Savernake, 2 ; Strathc onan, 3.

EXTRAORDINARY SToRy.—A singular instance of the effect of lightning occurred at Whalley Range, near this city, on Sunday afternoon. Three boys, named Edwards, Greonhough, and Jones, the first two residing in Cedar-street, and the last in Erskine-street, were over taken by tho severe storm which raged during the greater part of Sunday, and took refuge under a tree having largo overspreading branches. They had not been long in shelter when a vivid flash of lightning illuminated the atmos phere, and the lads were more or less stunned by the force of the shock. The electric fluid seemed to have circled round the tree in a curiously serpentine fashion, and what boon wore me r s eaegrooufslay representedtr ee, affected,withth fi p p r bh o ro s e : so n , gt leaves,ir nagphoi was still more singular was the f ac t o f one of the boys h ews thehoof pw h e a hr d fi co and then Edd branches rf a ta r rid sidese )h, accuracy. Tho impression of the tree was reproduced in a less determined form on the lad's right side—that which it would seem had been less exposed to the power of the lightning ; but both picturesgraduated from the knee, ter minating and joining at the apex of the chest. Jones ap peared to have had a still more narrow escape from death,. as the destructive fluid was attracted by h is scarf-pin— which was twisted in an extraordinary manner - and tra versed his person, scorching him severely.— Manchester Courier. AMERICAN PYRA3IID.—An American paper states that a party of five young men, while on an exploring ox that throe hl i e n ni t te h t i wh ck ai - ss pedition recently along the Colorado' River, discovered an. immense pyramid on a barren Plain. It was composed. of inches to nearly fitinbe,r,d , than seoOmfpeleetter and that rt t eh h sne o tn u tenie layers of steno from 18 ness, and from five feet to eight feet in length. It had a levelevident that a of great convulsion of nature had displaced its entiro top, as it wa g evidently lying on ono of its sides, a huge and broken ma ss, nearly covered by the sand. Its 104 feet; and it must have been formerly u f 11 20 feet higher. This pyramid differs iu some respects fro m pyra mids.

The copper-bearing;series on the north shore of Lake Huron extends over a surface of 2,000 square miles, and nearly the same extent of country on Lake Superior is endowed in the same manner. It is thought not improbable that new surveys will prove that even this estimate is far short of the actual fact. Iron also exists in largo quantity and of superior quality on the north-east end of Lake Superior. The land where the minerals are found is generally moun tainous and rocky. The land best adapted for agricultural purposes is chiefly in the valleys of the rivers, and is of sufficient extent to support large settlements, but the open ing up of loading roads is an essential condition of the rapid development of the country. The 'committee, therefore, recommend that land bo granted to such persons or com panies as are willing to construct railroads and open up the country.
