O ffi ce, 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.

FOUR GOLD MEDALS. Supplied to the British, French, Prussian, Russian, Italian, Dutch, and other Governments. Dr. Lankester writes regarding Extract of Meat :—" But there is a difference in flavour, and here, as in all other kinds o food, it is the flavour that makes the quality." It is essentially on account of the fine meaty flavour, as distinguished from the burnt taste of other Extracts, that LIEBIG COMPANY'S EXTRACT defeated all Australian and other sorts at Paris, Havre, and Amsterdam, and is so universally preferred in all European markets. One pint of fine-fla , mured Beef-tea at 20. Most convenient and economic " stock." CAUTlON.—Require Baron Liebig's, the inventor's, signature on every jar, and ask distinctly for LIEBIG COMPANY'S EXTRACT. As stated by the War Office, the assertion of an Australian Agent of solely supplying the British Government is proved to be nothing but an untrue statement. ESTABLISHED FIFTY YEARS.

MONETARY REPORTS.-SATURDAY Influenced by the decisive news received to-day an nouncing the surrender of the Emperor, and the capitula tion of Marshal MacMahon's army, the stock markets have been very firm to-day, and an important improve ment has taken place in prices. In most quarters the opinion is now entertained that the war is virtually at a close ; but at the same time considerable apprehension is felt as to the manner in which the population of the large towns in France will receive the first ntimation of the defeat which their armies have sustained at the hands of the Prussians. On the whole, however, the situation is not unfavourably regarded, and it is fervently to be hoped that the terms impc sed by Prussia will not be too humiliat ing to jeopardise the promotion of a lasting peace. The improvement has not been confined to any particular class of security to day, the advance being general. Railways and foreign bonds haVe each risen to the extent of fully 1 per cent. on the average. Home securities also have been very firm.

The first race, the Stanley Nursery, was void, and the Sefton Biennial proved such a good thing for Hopbine,:despite her penalty, that the field behind her must have been moderate. Lord Sefton's Piste makes out Filou to be a good horse, for he was left fully 50 yards behind at the post, and yet he came through his horses—the speedy Flash and La Mousse among them —and won in a common canter by half a dozen lengths. The Liverpool Cup has rarely had a warmer favourite than Free Trade became within twenty-four hours of the race. There has been more than the usual number of market:horses this time; Indian Ocean Choral, News man, Torreador, and others have figured in the quota tions and brought money to the bookmakers, Indian Ocean kept the lead in the quotations fer some time, but re ceived hisldismissal when Free Trade came with such a rush. Free Trade did not go so well in the market, and Myosotia took his place ; but before the flag fell they were about equal favourites. Fidelia made all the running, and won easily. The pace was wretched for the first three-quarters of a mile, and evidently did not suit Free Trade, who, with waiting orders, waited so long that he was out of it after he had passed the canal turn. In the Sefton Stakes, Hopbine followed up her success of the previous - day, and in the Earl Sefton Plate the favourite, in Filou, mainly through the running out of Lord John, won easily. At the remunerative odds of 10 to 1 Little Princess beat her five opponents, 5 to 4 being laid on the Corfu colt ; and in the Welter Cup Mr. Hodgman's colours were again seen to the fore, on Leases, the favourite being only able to get home third. THE OPENING OF THE PARTRIDGE SEASON. (FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT.) While on the Continent a fierce and cruel war is raging, while waves of victorious Germans are breaking over the fair provinces of France, as resistless as the long rolling billows of the South, finding before them well cultivated farms, abundant harvests ; happy villages and thriving towns ; leaving behind them desolation, famine, and disease, burning homesteads, ruined cities ; while here and there, like rocks jutting far out into the seething ocean, fortresses are seen stemming the human tide which is daily getting more powerful ; while the " dogs of war " are glutted with their prey, and the fierce god of war i s wearied with human hecatombs ; the great festival of the British isles has commenced, and thousands are bowing down with mute reverence before the shrine of Saint Partridge. Over the fairest parts of England a tide as resistless is pouring. Members of all creeds, of all pro fessions, of all politics, are equally_ devoted in performing their duties to our English saint. Over hill and dale their breech-loaders are echoing and their dogs are seen ranging far and wide from sunny . Devon to the Grampians. And is not our national saint worthy of the worship he receives ? What saint ever required of his votaries more healthy, more invigorating obedience? and what saint ever had more compassion upon the bard worked merchant, the exhausted member of Parliament, the peer and country squire, wearied with forced idleness • the farmer, rejoicing that his harvest is safely in his rick-yard • the army, navy, and civil service, glad of a little relaxation from their monotonous life ; and many others who are now breathing the fine fresh air of these beautiful September mornings with their guns upontheir shoulders, and many broad acres stretched out before them w ell stocked with game ; our saint is truly worthy of the homage he receives, for his services are very pleasant. Do we not all veil well know them, the early morning when the dew is on the grass, and the mists of the Low lands have not been driven away by ale sun ; with our guns well cleaned and in perfoet order, one pair of pointers. in hard working Gondition, ranging so beautifully before us, the diet Ant calls of the male birds which sounds so sweetly, or the reports of some neighbouring sports man afar off, which fills us with a spirit of anxious rivalry—the exciting " point " and well trained " back"—the whirling covey and the falling brace — these are the services which render the saint • so dear to sportsmen. But these are not all, for there are others which include the softer sex, the shady wood, where we know our fair friends are pre paring lunch, and cooking the game we shot before they were down in the morning. Our evening shdoting, when the fields seem larger, and the birds more wild, the walk home, when our guns seem so heavy, our dogs so tired, and the welcome dinner where our saint appears again in all forms, each one better than the last, endowing us with a spirit of contentment, and making us remember the hampers we promised to our less fortunate friends shut up in some dusty town unable to take part in the rites of the festival. This year has been most fortunate to sportsmen. The weather during the spring, when the birds were breeding, was warm and genial ; there were no heavy rains to ruin the eggs, or to destroy the young birds. The summer has been unattended with any severe weather, but has been such as to enable them to srrive at maturity before the season commenced. Yet the old grumbler is to be heard as usual, complaining of the badness of the times, and praising as highly the days of his youth, when, from his accounts, the birds must have Leen as thick as sparrows in a farm yard, and as tam© as barndoor fowls. We are gravely told that the railways have destroyed the country by facilitat ing the rapid movement of those. restless beings who on every available opportunity are to be found wandering over the country in groups, with firearms of various descriptions, shooting whatever they can, in season and out of season, and not content with confining their rambles to their own towns and cities, find their way into the most secret retreats of our Saint ; but in the old coaching days this army of marauders was kept in its own quarters, somewhere in the manufacturing districts. This may certainly be true, but only in the vicinity of the great towns, or in parts of the country where the game is not preserved. The most serious complaint is the want of cover. The stubble fields we so well remember, where the finest coveys were to be found, are now cut as bare almost as the palm of one's hand by the improved machinery of the present day. We cannot help it, so we must console ourselves with the reflection that science has not yet been able to rob us of our green crops. Those among us who are veterans in the field may feel a little out of temper, when they find them selves obliged to take to their shooting ponies, unable to keep up with their more active companions and their fast loading weapons ; when their memories fly back to the years that are gone, to the years of long stubble, strong coveys and muzzle loaders, they miss many who shot by their side, and joined with them in proper devo tion to the saint ; a feeling of sadness will arise unbidden sufficient to darken the brightest day, and to turn the national feast into a fast. But how can we murmur over the few dark shades of age which have passed over us since we first felt pride in walking by our father's side, armed with our first gun, receiving instruc tion in the duties of the festival ? When we consider that again do we commence the season under the olive branch of peace, while the deafening roar of war is rolling over Europe, and cries of bereavement and despair are sounding in our ears ; when, as we sit under the hedge, taking our hasty breakfast, we read in the morning's paper column after column of bloodshed, desolation and destruc tion, the most callous will not be able to stifle a feeling of thankfulness, and a prayer that when next Saint Partridge is worshipped, a film and durable peace may have shed its benign influence over the world. The carpenters' strike at Dundee has been brought to a close by a mutual concession, but in future all com binations, whether of men or masters, will be prevented in that town. En alluding to the death of the Earl of Aberdeen, the London Scotsman points out that a remarkable fatality has attended the Aberdeen family. Lord Haddo, the great grandfather of the nobleman who has just met his death by drowning, was killed by a fall from his horse, his father was an invalid nearly all his life, and died prema turely, and his brother, a young man of twenty-three, lost his life by the accidental discharge of a gun about two years ago. ACTION FOR DAMAGES ON A RAILWAY.—At the Liver pool Assizes the case of Hughes v. The London and North NVestern Railway Company has been tried. The plaintiff was the daughter of a coal merchant at Llanrwst, and this action was brought for the injuries she received in an accident which occurred to a train in which she was travelling upon the defendants' line in January, 1869. The accident was caused, it was alleged, from the defendants' negligence in the construction and mainte nance of a railway embankment. It appeared that the Bettws-y-Coed branch of the defendants' line, running from Llandudno to Bettws, is carried along the side of the river Conway, and is much exposed to the winds and tides. At the place where the accident happened, near the Tal-y-Cefu station, the railway runs within one hundred yards of the river, from which it is protected by a river bank in one direc tion, but it remains unprotected in another. The spring tides were accustomed to overflow the fields there on the unprotected side, and the water stands to a depth of four feet or more against the railway embankment. Upo n the day in question there was an unusually high tide— higher than had been known for 56 years, some of the witnesses said—with a strong wind, and the water flowed further than usual along the railway embankment. It reached an angle formed by the railway and riverbanks, and being checked there, formed an eddy, which undermined the railway embankment and let down the rails. The consequence was that the train in which the plaintiff was travelling left the line, and the plaintiff was bruised in her legs in a way which led to abscesses, and resulted, a s was alleged, in serious injury. It appeared that the damage to the railway bank upon this occasion was done very rapidly, for the driver had passed the spot safely with his train an hour and a half before. As elements of negligence, it was averred that the defendants had neither taken any precautions to prevent the inroad of the tides nor to protect their em bankment from the action of the water by sodding or other means. There was a contest of evidence upon these points, and a great number of witnesses, including engineers,wer• called, but in the end the jury returned a verdict for tie plaintiff, with damages £l5O. MARKETS. READING CORN MARKET, SATURDAY.—During the week trade has been dull at the London and provincial market, and there is no change in this market. Large supplies of wheat and oats are on offer; • but the supply of barley is moderate. There is little change to note, and the description of grain, beans, and peas are unaltered in price. We do not anticipate any brisk trade at our exchange to-day. LEITH CORN MARKET, SA lIRDAY.—At this market to-day wheat still remained depressed, and was is. per qr. lower. Flour was is. per sack lower. Barley was unaltered. Oats, peas, and beans were each Is. per qr. cheaper.

LEEDS TRADE REPORT , SATURDAY.—There waB scarcely anything doing among the clothiers this morning. There was more talk than work, and that talk was about the war. Those who were most earnest about business were the small manufacturers, who pushed their tweeds of all shades upon un willing customers. Some goods of that sort changed hands at a decided loss to the producer, and those who had been trying before market was over had occasion to congratulate them selves. Just as the merchants and manufacturers were about to separate the news came from the seat of war which startled but no less delighted all trade, for the day was soon over, and congratulations alone were in the thoughts of everybody. It is thought likely that we shall have a consolidated peace and a better trade than has been known for years. The coal trade is very languid. The quantity usually carried by navigation has become trifling. The iron and steel trades are remarkably brisk. Some of the steel castings made are for American and other foreign ports. DONCASTER WOOL MARKET, SATURDAY.—There were at this market about 60 sheets of wool, for which there was a steady sale, at rather higher rates. CLYDE CRUSHED SUGAR MARKET, SATURDAY. The market closes quietly. Prices shew little change for the week, unless for low sorts which are rather cheaper. Mr. P. H. Muntz, one of the members for Bir mingham, referring to the statement of Count Palikao, in the Corps L4gislatif, that 40,000 rifles had been sent from this country, and that others were being contracted for, says that he has made inquiries, and cannot hear that any rifles have been exported to France ; certainly there have been none sent from Birmingham. The Rev. F. D. Maurice appeals in the Spectator for sympatby with Mazzini in his imprisonment. What ever, says Mr. Maurice, " have been the faults of Joseph Mazzini, he has, throughout his career, been a witness against the worship of success which is our English divinity—for belief in a righteous God. That he has preserved that faith, amidst the atheism of the Liberals with whom he has associated, in spite of his dis gust for the priestly system by which his country is en thralled, seems to me a wonder which is worthy of earnest reflection, of profound thankfulness." Several Select Committees appointed by the House of Commons last session were unable to complete the inquiry intrusted to them, and have consequently re ported only the evidence taken, and suggested their r e-appointment next session. Among these are the com mittee on the diplomatic and consular services, the committee on the laws affecting pawnorokers, and the committee on the cause-of steam-boiler explosions and the best means of preventing them. The evidence given before these three committees has now been issued. RECRUITING IN LoNboN.—The Daily Telegpaph states that the progress of recruiting for the army with out bounty con tinues to be most satisfactory. That the advantage if given offer ample inducement is proved by the simple fact that the men come forward to enlist in greater numbers than have ever yet been known, even with high bounties. It is needless to add that there is not the slightest foundation for the report of an intention on the part of the authorities to return to the system of offering bounties. The Brussels correspondent, of the Pall Mall Gazette says the terminus of the Luxemburg line was besieged all Friday by crowds anxious to catch sight of the French soldiers who were to be sent to Beverloo from Namur. It is thought prudent to send them direct, so as not to add to the excitement already existing in Brussels, where the French fugitives are terribly agitated, and disorders are apprehended. About 3,000 French soldiers have already crossed the Belgian frontier and have laid down their arms without difficulty. When a troop crosses the frontier a Belgian officer advances with a white flag, and requests the surrender of arms and ammunition. The arrivals of fugitive French and expelled Germans increase every day. The arms taken from the belligerents who cross the frontier will be restored on the conclusion of peace. WRECK ON THE IRISH COAST.—GALLANT LIFE BOAT SERVICE.—One of the best services rendered by the valuable lifeboat belonging to the National Lifeboat In stitution, stationed at Arklow, has just been effected. The schooner Dove, of Barrow, sunk on Ark low Bank at eleven o'clock on Thursday night, and the crew of four men and the master's wife had to take refuge in the rigging, where they remained all night, the poor woman having nothing on but her night dress. As soon as the wreck was discovered on Friday morning, the lifeboat was launched while the wind was still blowing a fierce gale from the S.S.W., and there was a very heavy sea breaking on the bank. After a hard struggle the lifeboat was fortunately enabled to rescue the five poor creatures, who werevery exhausted state. They had to be dragged through the surf to the boat. The vessel was o i n a . voyage from a Morcambe to Newport with a cargo of pg iron, when she was overtaken by the gale and driven on the bank. This noble life-boat has been the . means during the past few years of saving eighty-eight lives from different wrecks.
