MONEY MARKE T A ND COMMERCIAL ENTZT,Ifig,EI":4OE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is still an extreme degree of quietude in monetary and commercial circles, and scarcely any change can be reported in the general discount market. The amount of capital on offer continues abundant, and the rates for first-class short-dated paper continue as low as 1 to lf per cent. The report of the committee of inquiry of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway Company has been issued, preparatory to the meeting of share holders called for the 22d inst. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have declined 1, to 25} 26k, and the Consolidated Mortgage Mortgage Bonds }, to 22 23. A sum of gold amounting to £36,000 was taken to the Bank of England yesterday. In the LForeign and Colonial Produce Markets during the last few days there has been rather more animation, and in several instances prices have shown an upward tendency, particularly for sugar, coffee, rice, and tallow. In fruit and drugs, how ever, there have been no changes of importance. With reference to the Wilmington and Man chester Railroad Company's proposition to take Cotton Loan Bonds of the late Confederate States of America in part payment of the subscriptions now being invited for an issue of their mortgage bonds, the committee of the Cotton Loan bond holders at their meeting, held on the 2d instant, Admiral Sir P. Wallis in the chair, unani mously resolved, " That the proposition of the Wi lmington and Manchester Railroad Company is one Which on principle deserves the favourable consideration of the bondholders, as it appears to the committee that the offer is not only bona „fide, but that the proposition is made for good reasons, which, while beneficial to the railway, will be equally so to the bondholders, and if favourably acted on may be the initiative of important ulti mate results." The report of the committee of investigation of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway was is sued yesterday. Th e comm itt ee i s compose d as follow s , viz.: —Chairman, Colonel Sir W. Russell, Bart., C. 8., M.P. ; Mr. Crawshay Bailey, M.P. ; Mr. Thomas Cave, M.P., Mr. John Fildes, M.P., an d Mr. F. W. Oewel, of Amsterdam. The com mittee go at great length into the position of the undertaking, dealing successively with the condi tion of the line, the appointment of a receiver, his powers and duties, a description of the company's property , l eases and connections, as well as traffic working expenses, and the various classes of capital. The committee conclude by putting forward a plan of reconstruction, to which they hope that " the a ssent of all i nterested will not be wanting. " In order t o g i ve ample time for the consideration of the details of this report, the committee propose that the general meeting of those interested in the undertaking should not be held till Tuesday, the 22d October, for which day it will be convened at the City Terminus Hotel, Cannon-street. The suspension of Messrs. Peter Buchanan and Co., of Glasgow, is at length authoritatively an nounced. The return of the Bank of France this week shows a further reduction of £1,016,000 in the stock of bullion, making a total reduction of £1,624,000 within a fortnight. At the same time there has been an increase of £2,120,000 in the bills dis counted. The large operations in grain constitute most probably the explanation of both these move ments. The Mexican dollars brought by the West India packet (about £220,000) have been disposed of at 59d. per oz., showing an advance of id. upon the rate realised for the last arrival.

The amount of bullion sent in during the week was £413,000, but the total on the present occasion was not expected to show any large increase, heavy amounts of coin being usually absorbed iu connexion with Government and other payments at the end of the quarter.

We regret to state that on inquiry at the Uni versity Hospital to-day with respect to the condition of M'Donnell, the report of the surgeon was very unfavourable. The wounded man had passed a quiet night, but some very unfavourable symptoms had begun to develop themselves. M'Donnell also is in a very low and desponding condition ; and, unfortunately, the hopes that were at one time held out for his recovery have now become very faint indeed. The Alleged Death from Noxious Vapour on the Metropolitan Railway. THIS DAY. Dr. Lancaster this morning attended at the Ele phant and Castle, King's-road, Camden Town, to proceed with the investigation on the body of Eliza beth Stainsby, whose death, it was said, had been caused by the noxious vapour generated in the tun nel of the Metropolitan Railway. The inquiry had been adjourned in order that certain scientific witnesses might examine into the condition of the air in the tunnel, and the witnesses he (the Coroner) was prepared to call were perfectly ready to go on, but, as it had been intimated to him that those gentlemen who had been engaged by the Rail way Company to examine and report upon the matter had not concluded their experiments, he should therefore again adjourn the inquiry until the 30th instant. SALE OF FAT STOCK AT MENTHoRE.—There was a large attendance of dealers and butchers at thi sale of fat stock on Wednesday at Mentmore, the seat of Baron Meyer do Rot:160blld. The beasts wero smaller than those usually sold at the baron's sales in former years. There were 50 lots of prime fat half-bred wethers, ditto beeves, ditto ewes, and fat down ditto, the whole realising nearly £9OO, averaging 51s. per sheep ; butchers from Aylesbury, Luton, Leighton, and other parts being the greatest purchasers. Sixty-two lots of prime fat Here ford oxen, Welsh runts, shorthorn oxen, and other boasts, made over £1,200, averaging per beast £2O 10s.; the price of sheep computed at from 4s. Bd. to ss. per stone of 81b., the bullocks at fully ss. per stone. Mr. Slater, of Kensing ton, was one of the largest purchasers, buying 17 bullocks for more than £4OO. ATTACK ON A VOLUNTEER ARMOURY.--On Wed nesday morning a most audacious attack was made by a body of men, supposed to be Fenians, upon the armoury and ammunition magazine of the Harrow Rifle Volunteer Corps (the 18th Middlesex). This armoury is in a barn on the farm of Mr. Chapman, at Roxteth, close to the town of Har row. The family of Mr. Chapman were aroused at about 3 o'clock on Wednesday morning by the explosion of fire arms, and on examining the barn it was found the door had been blown off. The volunteers in tho neighbourhood were promptly under arms for the defence of their arms, and the police searched the neighbourhood for the perpetrators o this serious offence. It is stated that several suspicious characters have been seen during the past week hanging about the neighbourhood, where, as may be expected, the greatest excitement prevails. CURIOUS CHICKENS.—A favourite hen of • the Dorking breed was accustomed to lay its eggs in a pig -stye, but day by day the eggs were carefully removed for fearof the pig devouring them. At length the hen began to show the usual signs of incubation, and as she went clucking about the stye the proper proprietor producod a litter of pigs. Instantly the hen became possessed with the notion that the adoption of these strange progeny would satisfy her maternal cravings, consequently she took possession of them, spread her wings over as many of them as she could gather under her, and fluttered about in a state of joyful excitement. This she continued to do for nearly three weeks, until the poor hen was nearly stripped of feathers from the little pigs poking and rubbing in and out between her wings . , and very nearly exhausted. It was a very curious sight to see her hoisted between two of her pro geny, or, a little later, seated on one of their backs, frantic with apprehension, as they rushed round the stye in the enjoyment of their different gambols, utterly regardless of the frightened clucking of their adopted mother.—People's Magazine. etIICIrERENI:JG 3 Rris'ol and Exeter 4 per cent stock, Great Western, West Midland, Nc opt. till '6 J, Lancaster and Carlisle, 41 per ce•it., Ditto. 6 per cent.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE WINDEN.-A THIRTY-YEAR-OLD BANKRUPTCY. This bankrupt, who was formerly a tobacconist, of Bedfordbury, was adjudicated so long back as 1838, upon the petition of creditors, and he now applied for his certificate of conformity, as it was called under the old law, but which is synonymous with the present order of discharge. Several sittings have from time to time been held, and a dividend of Ts. 61. in the pound has been paid to all the creditors. It was stated that the assignee to the estate and his attorney were both dead, and his Honour said he saw nothing upon the proceedings which would justify his withholding the certificate, and it was granted iu the usual manner. It must be remembered that the bankrupt has been kept oat of the certilicate of discharge from bank ruptcy for nearly 30 years, and if he had gone into business he would have done so at his own risk. POLICE IN TELL IGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGII-STREET. A SCENE IN A CAFE.—Colonel Christie, residing at Lano's Hotel, St. Albion's-place, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting Henry Cornelius, waiter at the Cafe Es gence, corner of Windmill-street. The complainant said that, on the previous evening, the defendant came to the Cafe R,gonce, and ran up a bill of 125., and refused to pay. The defendant then made a disturbance by insulting every one, and had an altercation with a gentleman. lie (complainant) requested the de fendant to go away several times, but ho refused to do so, and on his putting his hand on his shoulder for the pur pose of ejecting him, the defendant gave him a blow in the eye, which he thought last night would have caused him to lose his sight. The defendant denied insulting any. one, and said he was attacked by three persons. , lie would like to ask the complainant if he was not assaulted himself, or how the blood came on his handkerchief ? The complainant said the defendant was not attacked as stated. The defendant asked the complainant whether ho had not tried to throttle him ? The complainant denied doing anything of the kind. He requested the defendant to leave several times. The defendant said ho should like to know the names of the persons whom he insulted. The complainant said he could not tell. Sergeant Jeffry, 21 C, sail he was called to the café to put the defendant out. He told the waiters to put him out, and on their doing so, not using more violence than necessary, the defendant struck the complainant in the eye. He then took the defendant into custody. In answer to Mr. Knox, the sergeant said the defendant had been drinking, but was not drunk. Defendant asked the sergeant whether he did not hear him say that if they would let him go he would go to his club and get the money ? The sergeant said he did not. The defendant said that as the complainant said he had insulted all the persons in the place, ho should like to ask him if he had not been chatting and chaffing to some of the females at the counter? The complainant admitted that that was the case. The defendant said he wont to the cafd to have a cup of coffee. The waiter demanded the amount of his bill, when he told him that he expected a friend, who had charge of his purse, would come in, and that if he did not he would go to his club and get it. An altercation then took place, and he was roughly used. The complainant seized him by the throat, and ho was kicked, but he would not say by the complainant. He denied insulting the persons in the place, for in fact ho bad been engaged in talking to and chaffing two pretty ladies at the place. lie considered that instead of being taken into custody he ought to have given the complainant into custody. The complainant assaulted him, and he struck the complainant ; and he thought the matter would end there. Mr. Knox said the waiter, acting under the authority of his employers, was only doing his duty in ejecting tho defendant, not using more violence than necessary for the purpose. The waiter was only doing his duty, when the defendant struck him a blow in the eye. It was an un justifiable assault, and the defendant would have to pay a fine of £5. matter of course, but ho hoped that it was-not expected of him to make them all returnable for hearing on one day. If that was done ho would not promise that he could hear them all. Inspector Korrissey said, with the magistrate's per mission, he would make them returnable on several days. Mr. Benson—Very good. Mr. Pyer, the chief clerk, said the court had a largo quantity of business on its hands, and ho could not promise that ho and his colleague could make out all the summonses this day. He had never heard so many sum monses applied for at once in the course of the many years ho had been clerk of the Court. Mr. Ilmsou—Tako your summons, Mr. Kerrissoy. You hear what the Chief Clerk says. Wo have only two clerks here. A DISORDERLY WIFE.•- Rebecca Ruslibrook, a middle aged, dissipated-looking woman, was charged before Mr. Beason with assaulting Harry Rushbrook, her husband. The complainant, a healthy, clean, and well-dressed man, said his wife was an incorrigible drunkard, and that some time ago she struck him with a poker and wounded him. Yesterday she was intoxicated, and at dinner time she beat him with a chair, which he did not mind, but at supper thine she threw is looking glass without a frame at him, and it broke on his forehead and cut it. The witness than produced a piece of the broken glass, and said that he was in fear of his life, and that the prisoner had threatened to murder him, and said if she could not kill him while he was awake she would do it when he was asleep. Mr. Berson—What are you ? Witness -I am a labourer in Wigram's shipbuilding yard, and live at Commercial-street, Bromley. Mr. Mason—Do you drink to excess like your wife ? Witness—No, sir. I have not tasted strong drink for two years. 1 wish to be separated from her. The prisoner said her husband was bad tempered and ill used her. Sho had lived apart from him five months. Yesterday he broke an Indian bowl, which provoked her. The complainant said he did break the bowl. Mr. Benson said the prisoner was a violent and clangorous woman, and she must be restrained. Ho must order her to find one surety to keep the peace and be of good be laviour, and she must be locked up in default. The prisoner—l am afflicted with disease of the heart, and if I am sent to prison it will bo the death of me. Mr. Benson—l don't wonder that you aro afflicted with disease of the heart. If you find one surety you will be liberated. The Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland in Belfast BELFAST, Thursday. To-day his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland visited several places of interest in this town. In the afternoon he was entertained by the Mayor of the borough (Mr. David Tayler, J.P.) at a splendid dejeuner in the Music Hall, to which the principal persons connected with the district were invited to meet his Excellency.

Bateson, the Lord Bishop of Down and Connor and Pro more, Admiral Seymour, M.P., and the High Sheriff of the county, Sir E. Coey. The Lord Mayor of Dublin was also present. The MAYOR proposed The Health of the Lord- Lieutenant, which was most enthusiastically received, and praised the conduct of the Lord-Lieutenant, whose administration he described as firm and im partial. His EXCELLENCY, on rising to respond, was re ceived with loud applause, which having subsided he said—Mr. Mayor, my Lords, and Gentlemen,—lf anything could add to the pleasure and satisfaction of my visit to Belfast, during which the cordial and hospitable welcome which I have received has been impressed most strongly upon my grateful recollec lection, it would be the very cordial manner in which you have received my name to-night, and the very flattering way in which it has been proposed by the Mayor. I thank the Mayor for the kind terms of approval he has expressed in regard to the man ner in which the government of this country has been carried on. (Applause.) But I feel I have really only one advantage to claim in rising to ad dress you—namely, that, although this is my first official visit here, I am not altogether a stranger to your great and flourishing town—(applause)---not altogether personally unacquainted with the progress which each succeeding year has wrought in it. (Re newed applause.) It is also to me a source of addi tional pleasure to find among names which add lustre to Belfast and this locality there are many with whom I have had the happiness and advantage of living on terms of continued private acquaintance and friendship. (Hear, hear.) It is therefore with no ordinary or merely official feelings of gratifica tion that I receive the kind and cordial welcome which, as the representative of our beloved Queen, I have met with at the hands of the people of this great town. (Great cheering.) While adverting to the satisfaction I have received in this respect I must not omit a reference to that even higher and even more enlarged gratification which as one deeply interested in the welfare of Ireland and intrusted with its government I have felt in viewing and ex amining the points whi c h y our fl our i s hi ng commu nity exhibits. (Hear, and applause.) I will not weary you by detailing the magnificence of your enterprise and the extending ramifications of your commerce ; nor even those magnificent undertakings which we were yesterday called upon to inauguree. (Applause.) But I will say that conjunctive and coincident with these outward signs of the we dth we see various proofs that subjects of a deeper and even more intrinsic importance have not been neglected. I mean those influences which relate to the wellbeing, the comfort, and the social and intel lectual status of the producers of this wealth. (Hear, hear, and applause)—of those workers in the hives of industry, the toilers from whom these riches ema nate. (Renewed appl ause. ) I con f ess that striking andimposing as may be the intellectual impression produced by your magnificent factories and vast fleets of merchandise, yet that the sight of that in telligent and well-to-do population bearing about them the external proofs of being the denizens of homes and abodes of plenty and comfort confers a larger and more suggestive enjoyment than even the evidence of the riches that have produced these results. (Hear, hear, and applause.) I can not doubt but that the fresh atmosphere and free breezes of your hills and mountains, and the cheerful fertility which surrounds your streets and suburbs, cannot but have an eleva ting and refining effect even upon the hardy and wearied sons of toil—(applause)—an cf:et which the gloomy atmosphere of the environs of a Manchester or a Birmingham would fail to produce. (Hear, hear.) We have heard that a distinguished statesman lately observed that " King Iron and King Cotton rule the manufacturing districts." The sway is no doubt one of infinite prosperity and wealth, but it is subject to these exactions of atmos phere and nature. Even the clear skies of heaven are swallowed up and defaced in their dusky and grimy grasp. Belfast has reason to consider itself fortunate that it has no drawbacks of this nature, and that it is able to show such intelligent, cheerful, and contented faces as those which we have seen among your working population assembled by thou sands during the last two days in your streets and at your quays. (Great applause.) But, gentlemen, it would be a great injustice, an injustice both to the intelligence and social influence of Belfast, to limit its aspirations and its functions to the mere common place and ordinary arts of production, or of commercial progress. Your borough has long ably sustained a higher and more aesthetic claim of being a more reverend and still more euceessful Alma Mater to the rising youth of the country, and of being the dispenser of that intellectual knowledge and culture which, if it cannot supersede King Iron and King Cotton, at least tends to elevate them on their dusky thrones, pointing them the way to the loftier powers of human and Divine sympathy. Gentlemen, I may now add that, fresh as many of you are from the learned and philosophical assembly which has lately honoured Belfast by its presence, I may speak of one cheering and significant fact con nected with it. I mean that two at least of the names among those most distinguished by eloquence and ability in that distinguished assembly were gentlemen connected by locality of birth with your town and district. (Applause.) I mean my noble friend its president—(prolongel applause, inter. mingled with several hisses) —to whom, even in his presence, I may allude as a worthy descendant of a family illustrious by its genius, and also my hon. friend Justice O'llagart, whom Belfast has the honour to call a native. (Great applause.) Mr, Mayor, I cannot and words adequate to express, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day BEDFORD RACES—THIS DAT. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) AMPTHILL STAKES.

DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE BY A WOMAN.—Mary 3POJT 'Back, a middle-aged woman, was charged with a most violent attack upon another woman of respectable appear ance, whose face was shockingly lacerated, and who com plained of other injuries. Mary Hanley, the complainant, said that in consequence of defendant's abusive conduct she had obtained a sum mons against her, which was returnable next week. The summons was served upon the defendant yesterday even ing, and was no doubt the cause of the outrage of which she now complained. Complainant, at about 10 o'clock last night, was going out of her house with her husband's tin bottle in her hand, when defendant came up and abused her, at the same time taking up some garden pots, and swearing she would split her head open with them. Sho then seized her by the hair and dragged her about the place, after which she took up the tin bottle which complainant had dropped and beat her about the head with it, and then scraped her face down until it be came in its present condition. Defendant had complainant tightly by the hair of the head when an upstairs lodger came down and loosened her hands, and complainant was enabled to get up. Besides all this she kicked her in the body and bit her fingers severely. The bottle was produced, and was bent nearly double. Defendant said that she was the aggrieved party, as the complainant was drunk and had first attacked her. She inflicted the injuries she now had upon herself. Police-constable Woodford, 211 B, proved that com plainant was bleeding when he came up. She was sober. Several respectable witnesses were called by the com plainant, who confirmed her account. Defendant was remanded until Monday. Upon subsequent application the magistrate consented to take bail. GUILDLIILL. THE MOCK AUCTION ROOMS IN THE CITY.—A few days ago Sir W. Carden granted summonses against four per sons, named Lavigne, Jennit.gs, Davis, and Kelly, for carrying on a mock auction room in the city of London, and this morning Mr. Wontuer appeared to prosecute the charge against the defendants, but on their names being called none of them answered. Mr. Wontner said he was not at all surprised at the non attendance of Lavigne, but he fully expected that Jennings, tho owner of the shop, who had been personally served with the summons, and the other t wo persons, would appear. He would, however, just make a few remarks in order that the bench might become fully aware of the facts that had transpired since the warrants were granted. It appeared that there might have been some porson connected with the defendants in court, for when the officer proceeded to the shop to serve the summons he found it closed. Jennings, however, was served R ith the summons, but with respect to Lavigne, the auctioneer, he pur posely had avoided the service of the summons. He (Ur. Wontner) had felt it his duty to make some inquiries about the person who reported himself to he auctioneer to the Court of Bankruptcy, and ho had dis covered that he (Lavigne), with some other members of his fo.mily, occupied a hitchea 2 or collar in Great Ormond street. The party of seven, who lived together, could only muster two beds, so it did not appear that the palming off of the worthless rubbish offered at these sales was a very prosperous trade. He proposed now to ask for a warrant against Lavigne, and fresh summonses against the other three persons. Mr. Sleigh, who appeared to defend Jennings, said he fully expected him to be in attendance, and he was so instructed as to give a complete and satisfactory explana tion to the matter as far as he was concerned. He could only attribute his non-attendance to some unforeseen circumstances over which he had no control. Sir W. Carden said ho would grant tho ;arrant against Lavigne, and also fresh summonses against the other por sons. Ho was not at ail surprised that the shop had been closed on it becomiagknown that the presence of the parties carrying it on would be required at the Guildhall. Mr. iientner informed his worship that ilie — Place had been re-opened, but under totally different management. Sir W. Carden was quite prepared to hear that, but he would do all he could to prevent the fraudulent business from being carried on until the present proceedings were disposed of. It was true ho could not effect immediately the closing of the shop and others o f a s i m il ar descrip tion in different parts of the City, but be could caution the public against entering them. The worthy alderman then called the inspector of police, and gave him directions to have a constable sta tioned at the door of each of the establishments that were known, and that when any person was about entering the officer should at once inform him of the sort of business that was being carried on. There were other establishments without the City, but they were all carried on by the same gang; and if the metropolitan police would adopt the same precautions as ho had given direction to be car ried into effect, ho believed the nuisance would soon be effectually put down. It was i however, gratifying to learn that the business was not so profitable a one as he had supposed, judging from the extent of the establishment that Mr. Woutner bad spoken of in Now Ormond-street. A warrant was then directed to issue for Lavigne, and fresh summonses were granted against the other three persons, when the further proceedings were adjourned until Saturday week. THAMES. A RAID AGAINST THE DROVERS.— Inspector Kerrissey, of the K division, applied to Mr. Benson for 42 summonses against as many drovers for driving cattle along High street, Bow, on the 27th and 28th of last month, during the prohibited hours. Mr. BQIIWII §au iyoula grant tho euturanuso ag before I sit down, my grateful sense of the welcome and hospitality I have received from you and the people of Belfast on this occasion, or the satisfac tion which the varied objects of instruction and interest which I have seen here enabled me to enjoy. I thank you not only for the privilege of being pre sent at this great assembly, but for the continuous welcome and hospitality which I have received dur ing my present visit here, a visit which will at all times recall Belfast and its loyal and hospitable inhabitants in Lright and grateful colours to my memory. (Protracted cheering.) Gentlemen, lam sure I am only speaking the sentiments of all here when I ask you, who are so well acquainted with the able and efficient manner in which the Mayor has performed the important duties of his station, to join me in drinking " Prosperity, IleAlth, and Success to our able and talented Chairman, the Mayor of Belfast." (Loud cheers.) The toast was honoured in the most enthusiastic manner. Immediately on the left of the Mayor was reserved the scat for E trl Russell, who is at present the guest of Lord Dufferin, but the noble Earl had caught a cold at the rifle shooting at Clandeboyc, and was unable to be present. Lord Dufferin conveyed bis apology for non attendance to the Mayor. To-night Sir Thomas Bateson, M.P., gave a grand ball at his residence, 1121voir-park, where the Lord- Lieutenant is staying, in honour of his Excellency. His Excellency and a large number of the nobility were present. 1 1 1H.RD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. FAREWELL HANDICAP. Tripthong Miss Boswoll 2 Maid of Usk 3 VOLUNTEER HANDICAP PLATE.

Honesty was not so firm, while there was genuine money in the market for both Lothario and Sealskin, who at 12 to 1 were each backed in hundreds. Thalia:was laid against at all sorts of prices, and had a most unhealthy appearance, but not less so than the Maid of Masharn filly, who retired to 30 to 1.

We have to report a steady sale for floating cargoes of grain on rather higher terms. Both English and foreign barley was in request, and rather dearer. The supply was limited. Malt commanded previous rates, with a steady demand We were fairly supplied with oats, which changed hands freely at extreme rates, to a slight advance. Beaus and peas were quite as dear as on Monday. The flour trade was firm, and the quotations had an upward tendency. Linseed, rapeseed, and cakes were steady in price. AMIITALS THIS WENN. Wheat.

This so preyed upon her mind that she determined to put an end to her life. Ac cordingly she entered the warehouse, and having obtained some arsenic swallowed it. Ou being questioned, she ad mitted that she had taken poison, and stated that hor parents were so unkind to her that she dare not go home. The usual remedies were applied, but without avail, and the unfortu nate girl died shortly after. TWO MEN BURIED IN A SE WE R. —Yesterday afternoon a fearful accident occurred on the works of the main sewer at Clapton. It seems that sand, which lies on the surface, had been percolated by water from an adjacent spring, and as the men were at work they per ceived it gradually giving way. Immediate efforts were made to prevent the upper earth also falling, but never theless two poor follows were buried in the debris, in which position they remained for three hours, but they ultimately escaped with their lives. RAINFALL IN CORNWALL.—The rainfall of the harvest months of the present year—August and Sep tember—presents a striking contrast to that of the same months last year. The rainfall, as measured by the Calliugton gauge in August and September last year was 6.40 inches in the former month, and 1246 in the letter. This year the rainfall, as measured by the same gauge, has only been 1.53 inches in August, and 2.60 in September or 14.73 inches less than the rainfall of the corresponding period of last year. tion" good rents it in ,d in ,nied ate was )ctly .ness ) her )foro pre nity ear, ural lave we lent 3 as aas, 7fl. 71d. iod rest . 9d. 10d. in Bd.
