There had been no business transacted in railway shares, and quotations were lower. li rom Vienna it is stated the Anglo-Austrian B ank would di s t r ib ute to t h e i r s h are h o ld ers an extra dividend of 25 florins per share, and that the emis !ion of the Crown Prince Rudolf Railway Deben tures will not yet take place.

They Country markets held on Saturday wore heavy for wherA, at a decline in the quotations of from is to 3s per qualler. In the value of other kinds of produce very litt)', has change taken Place. The mails from the Brazils and River Plate, via Bordeaux, arrived this morning, and fully corrolbo rate the intelligence anticipated by telegram, as coming from a Paraguayan source, and which by files of papers received are fully borne out, a; to the true but sad position in which the allies have placed themselves, which may be briefly summedi 'up as follows :—The Brazilian fleet had passed Curupaity, but were unable to advance and make an esttnck on Humaita, nor able to force a passage of that place, while the Paraguayans had retaken Curt= fin their rear, and had strengthened this as well as Curupaity, and had literally sown the river with torpedos and other obstructions - , so that the fleet is now completely hemmed! in and unable to advance or force a retreat, at the same time keeping out of reach of the heavy artil. kry of both fortifications. The army, under Pre sident General Mitre, being unable to co-operate will the fleet, was entrenching itself against attack from the Paraguayans at Tuju-cue, equally unable to make any move ; President Mitre casting the blame of the bad position they had got into on the . Marquis Caxias, the Brazilian commander, while the latter attributed all the blame to the incapacity of the former, and this has naturally caused an ill feeling to spring up between the two commanders, which it is probable will do more to bring about a rupture of the Triple Alliance, and an end to this struggle, than anything else might have done. The most important feature of the fortnight has been the change in the Argentine Cabinet. Dr. Elizalde, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Dr. Costa, of. Education, have both resigned, and tha Vice-President has named as their successors Dr. Ugarte and Senor Uriburn. The leading fea ture of the new Ministers is their opposition to a continuance of the war, and they are strongly in favour of peace, as they deem it impossible to carry out the policy of the Mitre Administration, and in this they are strongly supported by the press and the public, as it is felt that the war has lasted too long; and owing to the strength of ilumaita and the natural defences of she country, the Paraguayans are able to maintain a successful resistance against the combined strength of the Allies. Cholera had again made its appearance at Tujuti and Tuju-eue, and fears were entertained that the camp would again have to be removed.

The following interesting statistics we gather from the quarterly returns, made, we believe, under oath, by the several manufacturers of sewing ma chines throughout the United States. The figures which we preselit, and which we have been at some pains to collect, show at a glance the wonderful growth and groat importance of this branch of American manufactures. It will be observed that one company alone has prodhced and sold within the year over forty-three thousand machines. It is somewhat remarkable that, during the recent stag nation in trade, this business has been but slightly, if at all, affected. But below are the figures in de tail : Sowing Machines Manufactured and Sold, as per Quar terly Return; fnr the year ending June 10, 18G7. . _ Double Thread Machines.- Number.

About a year or so ago, as our readers will remember, we published a series of articles descriptive of some of the great manufacturing interests in this country. We then selected and described the immense estab lishment of the Singer Manufacturing Company, located in this city, as the representative and lead ing concern in the department of sewing machines, and we are now pleased to find that we did not in the least exaggerate or over -estimate the importance of the company in question. It is noteworthy and somewhat suggestive that the Singer Company, who did not, as we underesand, take the trouble of visiting, or even sending their machines to the Paris Exposition—who seemingly do not care in the least for either gold medals or red ribbons, and whose name is rarely seen in print—should nevertheless eclipse all other sewing machine concerns in the magnitude of their business. There is, of course, a reason for all this, but we leave our readers to find that out for themselves.—/lome Journal. MONOPOLY OF THE LAND. In the course of a lecture cn "Labour and Capital" de livered by Mr. Ernest Jones to a largo audience in the City Hall, Glasgow, he made the following remarks :—" In 1770 there wore 250,000 landlords in the United Kingdom; now there are less than 30,000, of whom nearly 9,000 are in Ire land. Five men—the Earl of Breadalbane, the Dukes of Argyll, Athole, Sutherland, and Buccleuch—own one fourth of all the land in Scotland ; twelve men possess the half ; and half of England belongs to 150 persons. 30,000 mon, say, to 30,000,000 people—here you shall plough and sow and reap, and there not : here you shall build and plant and work, and there not : here you shall breathe and live and die, and nowhere else, except where we per mit " Ho concluded by saying, " I seek not to In fringe the rights of property ; 1 seek not to confiscate a single acre; ner is there the slightest need for any such proceeding. But Ido say the rights of private property is land have their limits. Those limits have been recog nised by Parliament. They were recognised when the Legislature drove a railroad through the landlord's acres against his will. if it is right to send the people through his acres, it is right to send them to his acres also. They plo s p: y rty noman hasa were recognised when the Legislature established the En cumbered Estates Court, and sent ono-seventh of all Ire land to the auction mart. They are recognised when a lawm an stpuan in n bl a e n d t o m m an a a n g a e g a e wisely—the right, whore labour is redundant and food deficient, to keep fruitful land out of cultivation. The men who do that are criminals; every such uncultivated acre is a national crime ; it for h ow ini. n every such uncultivated acre is a landlord's theft. I lay down the axiom that no man has a right to more land than ho his capital or means to cultivate. Whoever keeps an acre out of cultivation keeps the loaf from the poor man's cupboard—takes a span from the poor man's life. He has no right to that acre, I care not who ho is. Though a king gave it to him, who gave it to tho king ? The title to the land is culture, God is the only landlord, and our labour is the rent we have to pay." THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPII. — After a consider able amount of negotiation between the Atlantic Telegraph and Anglo-American, and the New York and Newfoundland Companies, the basis of au agreement Las been come to for a reduction of the present tariff of charges. The assent of the Nosy York and Newfoundland Company has not yet been obtained to some of the minor details, but the proposed reduction has received the assent of all the parties interested. It is proposed to reduce the present charge of £lO to .£5 for a message of ten words, giving five words net exceAing twenty-five letters for the name and address of the sender and receiver of the message. All extra charges for code messages are to be abolished, the rate being the same as for ordinary business. Thu com panies, however, reserve to thems,lves the right of de clining to scud any particular form of code which may be offered to them. For any word over and above ton ; and five for name and address, the charge will be 7s. Gd. 'rho reduction is to take effect on the Ist of November, and pro vision is made in the agreement for a further revision of the tariff, and return to original rates if the receipts dur ing the current three months do not reach a certain speci fied sum.—Raittray Neztv. TELEGRAPHIC CABLE BETWEEN FRANCE AND AMMICA.—The Debats contradicts the statement that the Government has granted a concession for a submarine tele graphic cable between Franco and the United States, adding that. the State will give neither subsidy nor privi lege, but will leave the undertaking to be accomplished by private enterprise. monoy. We were well supplied with foreign Wheat, which moved off heavily at an average fall of from 2s to 3s per quarter. Floating cargoes of wheat gave way fully 2s per qr. •There was an increased supply of English wheat on sale here to-day, coastwise and by land-carriage. As very few millers were in attendance, and as there was a large quantity of foreign wheat on offer off the coast, the trade was in a most active state, at a decline in the quotations, compared with this day se'nnight, of from 3s to 4s per qr., and a clearance of the stands was not effected. Banns woro quito as dear as last week, although tho sale for them was far from active. Peas commanded quite as much money as of late. The supply was only moderate. ' The sale for both English and foreign floar was rather. heavy at barely stationary prices. In agricultural seeds, as well as cakes, only a moderate business was doing. Linseed and rapeseed wore tolerably firm. CURRENCY PER IMP.

Julius displayed wonderful form in the Cesarewitch, and ChaHoner, probably not to expose the hollow style in which he won, certainly did not ride his horse out to the finish, or I question if the four lengths could not have been made fourteen. However, he has very different company to meet over this course, and with the heavy weight of Bst 91b, I look upon his winning as quite hope less, although he might struggle into a place. Westwick is not likely to run so forward this journey. Laneret be longs to Mr. Geo. Bryan, a thorough sportsman. Had it not been for the suspicious manner in which he was ridden at York there is very little question he would have had a stone less on his back, and proved a most dangerous can didate for the Cesarewitch as well as this race. Looking at the weight of the Duke of Newcastle's horse, Fripon nier, Knight of the Garter, and even Blinkhoolie, this good-looking son of Newminster is by no means badly in. He was backed early last year for large sums of money for the Derby ; and although ho started for it that could be no test of his merit, as he had been lame and was not at all prepared. The horse is wonderfully well, and will, I believe, have the assistance of George Fordhani. He should have no difficulty in beating all the heavy weighted the ee-year olds. Friponnior has proved him self, over short courses, the best horse of his year. Knight of the Garter has also public form to recommend him, and i 3 sure to finish in the flight ; in fact, I give him the preference over Hippie., and all the three-year - olds down to Wroughton. Treasare Trove has only an outside chance, and is no fancy of mine. The Duke of York and Tormentor are both backed from the same stable, and whichever is meant will be near winning. Dragon is about the best public performer iu the race, and if he do not win ho is almost certain to obtain a situation. Actma has• a better class of horses to contend against than she had last year. The money market is usually a good criterion, and she ought to be kept on the safe side. Nu will run for Lord Poulett, and is in rare form. She ran second for this race two years ago. Wroughton has only to b 3 in the same form as when he ran Vauban to a head in the spring to beat all comers. Rococo will most likely represent T. Dawson's stable, with a very Ml went chance in my estimation. Blinkhoolie looks like giving way to his stable companion, Knight of the Garter. Lozenge is "turned loose," and will run very forward. Captain Kidd has been backed by his owner to win a few thousands. Jenne Premiere will prove the best of the French division, and is fancied by same good judges. La Dauphine is au uncertain horse, and King 1 Victor is not backed, otherwise I should have a good opinion of Mr. Bevill's horse, who, I know, was tried to be a clinker before the October Handicap. Wolsey would be the most dangerous outsider in tho race if he could stay. Honesty is again first favourite, and although he will be more at home over this short distance of ground I do not expect to sae him win. Armourer is a very good-looking horse, and ran fast to the bushes, and if he comes to the post will be at the winner's heels. Grey Stocking has improved every time she has started lately, and will run a good horse. The judge I expect will place L AN ERET ACTX A and if au outsider is destined to overthrow flu., above, it will be DRAGON, who belongs to the French division, and who has performed wonderfully well both in this country and ou the Continent. _ A FRESH MAN.

The Bonds of the Great Republic Gold and Silver Mining Company have been freely taken, notwith standing the unparalleled depression, to which there seems to be no end. " A Nevada► Miner," in a letter to the IVall-street Journal, dated October 1, gives the following information of lodes in the im mediate-neighbourhood : "The Manhattan Company have in sight in the ' Oregon' mine a very rich body of ore, so also have the Midas Company in the Chicago mine. These mines are located in the rich belt of Lander llill, and will continue without doubt to pay as they advance in development. South of Austin, about GO miles, is the Twin River district, where is located the famous Murphy mine of the Twin River Com pany of New York. This is one of the great mines of Nevada, taking for my proof the result of the past month's operations, which netted the company (thanks to the Stetefeldt furnaces) the handsome sum of $44,000 coin, the gross product being nearly $52,000. This company is now in a fair continu ous road to large dividends, as a chimney of the very richest kind of ore had been opened prior to my departure from Austin. The M'Dcnald Com pany, under the able management of .1. II • Boalt, of Boalt and Stetefeldt (of the Stetefeldt process) is a part of the Murphy mine, and developes just as fine ore."
