Hurst and Blackett, Publishers, 13, Great Marlborough-street. OZOKERIT (PATENTED). A quiet and somewhat uncertain feeling has prevailed in the Stock Exchange to-day, which has resulted in a slight reaction in prices. The downward movement, however, has been in no way important, and has arisen in many instances from realisation or from transac tions in connection with the settlement of the account. Consols left off at a decline of 1-16, the last prices being 92, 92i for money, and 921- to 921 for the 4th of October ; Reduced and New Three per Cents. were 902 to 91; India Five per Cents., 1091 to 110 ; India Bonds, 10s. to 20s. prem ; Exchequer Bills, ls. to 6s. prem.

He shall found no dynasty ; he shall wear no durable Crown. But in the midst of deeds of blood and slaughter, with affrighted Europe trembling beneath the weight of his daring martial hosts, he descends beneath the heavy hand of Fate ; and falls to rise no more ; with none to mourn him, none to inherit his renown, none to record his good deeds, and none to lament his destruction."

Office, 6, Red Lion-square, W.C., London. —During the last 10 years this Institution has been instrumental in rescuing a vast number of poor girls from a life of degradation and misery. The plan adopted has been to seek the wanderers in the streets of London and gather them together at the midnight hour, when short and faithful addresses have been given. During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly every week in some of the most frequented districts of the metropolis. The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many fallen ones. To enable them to continue their important work, FUNDS are earnestly solicited, and will be thankfully received by Mr. John Stabb, Hon.

A BOOK FOR TOURISTS IR NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL, AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS. BY EDWARD SPENDER PRICE 3s. "It is a straightforwardly and sometimes gracefully written Sketch of Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, from the holiday traveller's point of view, not, however, exclusively devoted to matters of scenery or itinerary, but designed to give the voyager an intelligent interest in the manners, customs, industries, and institutions of the districts he is exp) Ting. Fos intending visitors to Norway especially, Mr. Spendei s book will be welcome. It has, moreover, the decided advantage of com pression, clearness of style, and easy manageableness of bulk."— Daily Telegraph. "The volume perfectly fulfils its purpose. It is neat and cheap and contains in a small space a great quantity of very interesting matter, much of which will be novel, and all of which will be useful, not only to those who visit the places described, but to those who stay at home. Mr. Spender is an acute observer, a most industrious and judicious collector of facts, and an eloquent and graphic writer, and does ample justice to his subjects."— Yorkshire Post. "It deserves a welcome, this book we lave so kog uncon sciously been in search of. The itineraries themselves are to the intending excursionists a veritable benefaction. . . Altogether the book is one to carry in one's knapsack or valise during the happy time of our holiday excursion, and to give a place to on our book-shelVes afterwards as a most pleasant remembraocer." —Stu) " Fjord _lsle, and Tor' is a very delightful little book. The essay on Norway is particularly full of information, but the others are not far behind it in proportion to their length, and all are written in a genial spirit."—Globe. " Without being exactly a guide-book, it answers all the pur poses of one, and contains beside a vast quantity of information, all given in the most condensed form possible. There is not a line of space wasted in line writing, but the descriptions of scenery bear witness to the author's genuine love and appreciation of the picturesque, just as his closely compressed facts and statements prove the practical and hardworking man of letters."—Man chester Courier. " From back to Sack 'Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is full of matter interesting equally to the tourist and the ordinary reader. It is written in an easy and pleasant styl , and is well 'got up.' " Eastern Morning News. - • " We cannot part with this fascinating little work without con gratulating Mr. Spender upon it. Addressed, as it more especially is, to travellers in Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, it is, nevertheless, a book that will afford the keenest gratifica tion to the general public. . . . As to its literary merits we need say nothing, the name of the author being sufficient guarantee on this point."—Western Mail. "The articles shew unusual power of observation, are full of genial gossip, and supply just what the excursionist wants--- reliable information."—Western Pally Press.

A meeting of British merchants was held at the Lon don Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, yesterday afternoon, to take into consideration the recent massacre of the French at Tien-Tsin. Mr. Hodgson, M.P., took the chair. The chairman said if we had not been so intensely occupied as we had been at home with a greater massacre in Europe for the last six weeks, the terrible circumstance of the Tien-Tsin massacre would have excited the greatest possible interest. Even as it was it was felt how important it was in the interest of humanity to ascertain what were the real cir cumstances of the case, in order that a similar out rage on our own subjects should be prevented. It was for this purpose and with a view to see her Majesty's Ministers that they had met at pre sent. When they had done so they trusted to be able to lay before another meeting the result of their interview. Having made these observations, he would call on Mr. Gilman to move the only resolution that would be offered to them on the present occasion.— Mr. Gilman said he was glad that the horrible outrages perpetrated on Christian ladies engaged in works of mercy had not been fully detailed, for we should be obliged to tax our utmost imagination before we had the slightest conception of the enormities that had occurred. At present the country that had been so outraged —unhappy, down-trodden France was unable to defend its interests in China, yet the time would inevitably come when it would be able to do it. He con cluded by proposing the following resolution :—" That the lamentable massacre of the French at Tien-tsin on the 21st June had led to anxiety and alarm on the part of the British communities at the several open ports. That it appears the calamity occurred during the absence from Tien-tsin of any vessel of war. That this meeting deems it desirable to represent the fact to her Majesty's Government and everywhere, whether, in view of the serious events which have occurred, they have taken, or intend to take, any and what further precautions, for the protection of British life and property in China."—This resolu tion was seconded by Mr. Magniac, M.P., and carried.— A deputation consisting of Mr. Hodgson, M.P., Mr. Mattheson M.P., Mr. Magniac, M.P., Mr. Gilman, and Mr. Jones 'Gibbs were appointed a deputation to wait on Earl Granville that afternoon. In accordance with the resolution passed at the London Tavern, the deputation waited on Earl Granville at the Foreign Office, with the result of that meeting. His Lordship informed them that Her Majesty's representatives in China had supported the representations which had been made by the French Government to China on the subject. That in regard to further representations to be made by the Government, they were to be addressed to him, embodying the points named, which should be fully replied to. AN UNLIKELY STORY. The Electeur Libre professes to know, from indisputable sources, the sense of the conversation between the King and the Emperor during a private interview. "I am your prisoner," said the Emperor, "and if you do not keep me after the war, I am certain of finding in France, if not a the eight millions of votes given to me on the Bth of May last, at least an imosing majority. My ill-fortune will increase my chance, and Napoleon I. has too profoundly implanted the popularity of the name of Bonaparte for you to be able to root it up. If you make me a prisoner, as my uncle was at St. Helena, you will cast s new prestige over the mis fortunes of our race, that time will only increase in favour of my son in a country like France, where sentiment plays so great a part." King William made no reply; forty eight hours after he received the news of the proclamation of the Republic in Paris. He sent imme diately a message to the Emperor, of which this is the substance ; I have no wish whatever to dethrone you. Our common enemies are the Republicans. The French Republic will be vanquished. My soldiers will enter Paris, and I will place you myself upon the throne, condemned to impotence by the terms of a treaty to be ratified by all the neutral Powers of Europe, the stipu lations of which will include the neutrality of the fron tiers and the loss of two provinces. Your return will be a great punishment to French pride," LAW AND POLICE. ROBBERY 011' " TRANSLATED" BooTs.—John Fitzgerald, aged 22 years, who said he was an Irishman, brought up in Liverpool, was charged at the Thames Police-court, with stealing a pair of boots, the property of Rosetta Abrahams, who keeps a shop for the sale of translated boots and shoes, in Spectacle-alley, the last of the middle rows in Whitechapel. The boots, the subject of this charge, were on a table in the shop near the door, and while Mrs. Abrahams had gone up stairs the boots were taken by the prisoner. She was coming down stairs and received an intimation of her loss. She saw the pri soner running across the road. Mrs. Abrahams gave chase to him and the boots, and captured both. The prisoner, in defence, said he came from the town of his adoption in search of work, and that he found the boots. He had sold everything since he had been in London; He would plead guilty to stealing the boots, which he was informed were translated. The magistrate asked the meaning of translated boots, and was informed they were old ones which had been repaired and made to look like new ones. The prisoner was sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES. —At the Westminster Police-court, Mr. Philip Newberry England, who is a financial agent, surrendered to his own bail to answer a charge of forging a bill of sale, with intent to defraud Messrs. Tildersley Brothers, the gas engineers and chandelier manufacturers; andhe was further charged with conspiring with one Thomas Batson to defraud Mr. Thomas Brunton Cooper, a furniture dealer, of Fulham. A great deal of evidence was given, and the case was adjourned for a fortnight, when the charges of perjury and conspiracy will be gone into. The two defendants were liberated as before on their own recognizances. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE D ONC A STE R RACES--YESTERDAY. BRADGATE PARK STAKES, Ptarmigan. Gunga Jee Our Emily Five ran.

Chassepot, the inventor of the French breech-loading rifle, has been in Birmingham for the last few days, engaged in making purchases of breech-lo a di ng arms an d ammunition, as is be lieved for the French Government. The Birmingham Gazette says :—" It is correct that M. Chassepot is in Birming ham ; it is also correct that the inventor is under an assumed name, and that this fact alone must dismuss the groundless assertion that several gunmaking establish ments have orders from the French Government. All the purchases of guns in Birmingham have been made by mercantile houses—mainly London firms—and the French Government is neither known nor recognised by our townsmen. In every instance, the gunmakers' res• ponsibility ends with the delivery of the goods in Bir miugham." THE DUKE OF HAMILTON AND THE FRENCH. IMPERIAL FAMILY.-A report has been going the round of our contemporaries, announcing extensive changes at Brodrick Castle, in the Isle of Arran, preparatory to the arrival there of the Empress and the Prince Im perial, to whom the Duke of Hamilton has offered it as a residence. There is no truth whatever in the statement. Brodrick Castle is nothing more than a shooting-box, and quite inadequate to the requirements of the Imperial family ; but Hamilton Palace is quite another affair, and as the relative of its present proprietor, the Emperor, who stayed there many years ago, may repeat his visit at no distant date. The Duke of Hamilton arrived at Brodrick I Castle, in his yacht, from Ireland, on Thursday week, to join the circle of friends who had preceded him for shooting. The party have had capital sport, thanks to the excellent breeding season and the watchful superin , tendence of Mackenzie, the head forester. On Tuesday week Mr. H. Crawshaw killed two stags in three stalks, one of which had 16 points, and weighed 22st. 91b. : whilst the weight of the other, who had 13 points, was 26st. ! -- Sporting Gazette. Erie railway shares closed at 17i, 18i, and Illinois Cen tral at 108, 109. Indian Government railway shares have been in request at steady prices. Eastern Bengal have sold at 1041, Great Indian Peninsula at 106i„I * ; Scinde 1041. The market for foreign bonds was similarly circum stanced. On the official list Egyptian of (1864) shew a rise of 1, and (1868) of . Italian of (1865) are 2 per cent. better ; while Russian (1862) have advanced On the other hand, Italian of (1861) shew a decline of at 50 to 51k. After the official close a dull tone set in, and values were generally lower. American Government securities have sold freely at full quotations. There is a steady absorption of Five- Twenty bonds now going on, both on English and con tinental account. Atlantic Mortgage bonds rose to 22k to 23k. The dealings in Joint Stock Bank Shares have not been extensive, and no important movement has taken place in the quotations. Imperial Ottoman have sold, for the new account, at 11/; London Chartered of Australia, 23i ; London and County, 48k; London and Westminster, 60 ; Union of London, 36k. Telegraph shares have continued dull, but slightly more firmness has been apparent in prices. British Indian Submarine, 7i ; Great Northern Extension, 3.2 ; Reuter's, 8i ; French Cables, 14k. The mining share market has been inactive, particularly as regards British mines, and the quotations are nominal. Van are slower, at 59, Penrhyr have sold at 2a. The inquiry for miscellaneous securities has been very limited. Telegraph Construction are k better, at 25, 25i ; Ocean Marine has sold at 181 ; and Tobacco laan at 85. No material change has taken place in the aspect of the Money Market to-day. The supply of capital is abundant, while the amount of commercial paper afloat is still limited. Good short paper was taken to-day at 3k per cent., but lower rates are expected to prevail. It is ex pected that a further reduction will be made in the Bank rates on Thursday next. The sum of £84,000 was sent into the Bank of Eng land to-day. The Douro has arrived at Southampton with £88,299 in specie. The traffic receipts of the North-Eastern Railway shew an increase of £8,963, of the Midland an increase of £5,561, of the London and North Western an increase of £9,336. We have received the following from the Brazilian street Railway Company, dated Rio, August 27 : " Traffic has improved a little this month. To present date the receipts are about 14 contos, and the total for the month will be about 15 to 16 contos. The Caxanga extension is being rapidly proceeded with, and if nothing unfavourable occurs, it will be completed by Christmas Day." The Government broker has to-day purchased £34,000 on account of the sinking fund of the National Debt. At the meeting of the London Assurance Corporation, the usual dividend of ss. per share was agreed to. The advices from New York bring statistics of the actual results of the cotton crop of the season just con cluded. A slight uncertainty enters into the calculations from the fact that it is impossible as yet to give accurate figures of the quantity of cotton forwarded direct from the plantations, to spinners in the Northern and Southern States. A fair estimate of these can be made, however, and a near approach to the truth can be arrived at. Last year 258,600 bales were forwarded direct to Northern manufacturers, and between 75,000 and 80,000 bales to Southern. Taking into consideration the increase in the crop it may be accepted that 400,000 bales were disposed of last year in this manner ; an estimate that is probably under the mark. Adding to these the total receipts at the shipping ports, we find the actual result of the crop to have been 3,298,000 bales. This is in excess of the estimate, given all along in these columns, of 3,000,000 bales, which we adhered to in opposition to many authorities. The figures compare as follow with last year's returns -- 1869-70. 1868-69. Bales. Bales. Receipts at the shipping ports 2,898,000 ... 2,100,400 Sent overland to Northern mills 300,000 ... 258,000 Manufactured South Total bales 3,298,000 ... 2,438,000 The increase in the crop has accordingly been 860,000 bales. Of this total supply 2,170,000 bales were exported-1,470,000 to Great Britain, and 700,000 bales to the Continent. The consumption in the North and South combined reaches the large total of 1,064,000 bales, or nearly one-third of the entire crop. But while there has been an increase of 860,000 bales in the crop, attended by an augmentation of 50 per cent. in the exports, the quantity taken for spinning purposes in the States has only increased by 6i per cent. When it is considered that heavy protective duties have been imposed for the avowed purpose of encouraging those manufac tures the result cannot be considered satisfactory by the adherents of the protective policy. Never theless there can be no doubt that the number of mills in the United States has increased under the system. The following statement shews the statistics of the United States cotton crops for a series of years :-1869-70, 3,298,000 bales; 1868-69, 2,438,400; 1867-68, 2,593,000; 1866-67, 2,019,000; 1865-66, 2,193,000; (war years, no records) ; 1860-61, 3,656,000 ; 1859-60, 4,670,000; 1858-59, 3,851,000 ; 1857-58, 2,213,000 ; 1856.57, 2,939,000 ; 1855-56, 3,527,000 ; 18.54-SJ, 2,847,000; 1853-54, 2,930,000; 1852-53, 3,262,000; 1851.52, 3,018,000; 1850-51, 2,355,000. The remit of the increase in the cwts. of last year has been the addition to stocks generally and therd is now good reason to believe that we have come to the end of the period of dear cotton which has for so long distressed Lancashire. The Coupons due Ist October next, from the Illinois and St. Louis Bridge Company's Seven per Cent. First Mortgage Bonds, negotiated through Messrs. Morgan and Company, will be paid at their counting-house on and after that date. _ w. .-- At the half-yearly meeting of the South of England Oyster Company, which was held to-day, it was stated that their oyster stock, bred or fattening on their farms at Hayling Island, is estimated of the minimum value of over £5,400, exclusive of this year's spat. The directors, no doubt, will thus be enabled to declare the first dividend this year. The Marquis of Exeter (who has lately joined the board), with the other directors, yesterday inspected the works of the company and expresssd great satisfaction at the condition of the farm. Letters from Germany state that about one-third of the barley crop was secured in fine condition ; one-third wa►s harvested fairly; but the remainder was injured greatly by the rain. The crop will vary considerably, but, on the whole will be of useful malting quality. The yield has proved heavy ; and the prices asked are 38s. to 41s. per 4481b5. f.o.b, In Holstein the crop is good, and is superior to that of last year. The directors of the lonian Bank have declared a dividend and bonus equal together to 8 per cent. per annum, for the half year ended June. The directors of the Dutch Rhenish Railway Company have made a call of 24f1. per share on the remaining 10,000 new shares of the company, payable in November next. The North-Eastern Railway traffic return for the week ending September 10th shews an increase of £8,963 as against the corresponding period of 1869 ; on the London and North-Western there was an increase of £9,356 ; on the Great Northern there was an increase of £1,958 ; on the London, Chatham, and Dover a decrease of £1,297 ; RAILWAYS.
