The Liverpool Cotten-1 Market on Saturday continued verysteady, although well supplied, and prices of all descriptions were unchanged from those current on Friday. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, comprising 6,200 Americans (of which exporters took 500, and speculators took 4,000), 300 Pernam and Maranham, 6;id. to 71d. ; 400 Egyptian, 61 . d. to 9d. ; 800 Surats, 44d. to 51d. ; (400 for export), and 100 Sea Islands, 111 d. to ls. per lb. The Railway Share Market was quiet, without any variation of importance. Commercial advices from Mot cow of the 15th August contain a report of the wool fair at Ekate rinoslaw. The quantity brought for sale amounted to 50,000 poods (1,800,000 lbs. English), of which 40,000 poods were washed wools, and the remain der in grease. Th. 3 washed wools, with very few exceptions, consisted cf a more inferior quality than has been seen for many years past, and the rest were in a worse condition than those brought to Charkow and Pultowa. The rates established at this fair were as follows :—Washed wools, 131 to 171 roubles per pood ; ditto in grease, 81 to 9/ ditto. Some speculators brought about 15,000 poods to take to the market at Pultowa. From Frankfort we learn that the autumn fair had been well attended by merchants. Cotton manufactures forwarded from various German States were in good demand, and large quantities had been purchased for exportation. Silk goods, however, of the finer qualities attracted most atten tion, the supply being inadequate. The result of the fair surpassed the most sanguine expectations of the local traders, a larger business having beQn done, and higher prices realised, than in previous years. The weekly report from Paris states that there is not much change in the position of commercial affairs during the past week. Sales have been very quiet, both at Paris and in the departments. The manufacturers are preparing for the winter season. A return to activity is expected about the close of this month or the commencement of October. There are at present a great number of buyers in Paris from the departments as well as foreign traders. The orders for Russia, for articles of luxury, have now ceased. Some important pur chases have been made in the manufacturing towns, of silks, woollen, and. cotton fabrics for the ensuing season. The intelligence from New York per steamer Canada reports continued activity in the Stock Market there, but the quotations tended down wards. Money was in rather less demand, but the banks were contracting their loans and dis counts as much as possible. The balance of trade Was still much in favour of Europe, and in the Week ending the 22d ult. the imports exceeded the exports to the extent of $ 3,841,312. The English stock market continues to be unfavourably influenced by the transactions in connection with the approaching settle ment, and, notwithstanding the satisfactory ac counts relative to the progress of the harvest, and a farther fall in the price of corn the Funds have receded this morning to ± per cent. The active demand for money both here and on the continent intimidates some of the speculators, Who, not feeling confident of an early advance in quotations, have preferred closing their outstand ing engagements to carrying over at the pre vailing late of continuation. For money the prices have been 94i 5, and 944 ; for the 10th inst. they are 941 and for October 95 to 95±. The New Threes have been 95i I. Exchequer Bills 13s. to 16s. prem., and the Bonds 14s. prem. Foreign Stocks are dull, and without much change in prices. The market, however, is flat. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 1031, and the 4 per Cents. 103, Spanish rule heavy, the Threes being 45, and the Deferred 25. Russian 4i per Cents. are 9 8, Sardinian 92, and Equador New Consoli dated 14/. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, if ; Mexican, 221 ; Peruvian, 80 2 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 58 9 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 451 GAS ; Russian 5 per Cents., 108 10 ; ditto 4,4 per Cents., 98 100 ; Spa nish 3 per Cents., 44 5± ; ditto New Deferred, 25 ; ditto Certificates, 6 ; ditto Passive, G 7. Railway Shares are all depressed, the de cline in the principal lines being ss. to 10s. and the transactions have been limited. North- Eastern (Berwick), and a few others, however, are exceptions, being higher. There is a slight increase of business in the Foreign market, but there is no general alteration of importance. Rigas are 1i 1 1 - premium. Railway Shares are weaker, but Mining and miscellaneous are dull at previous rates.

ALAS FOR DIGNITY 1--To avoid exciting the super. atilious feelings of the sailerf: of the chip Minho, the lPt3 Earl of Shrew.sbury'3 body ryas called a bcx of lemon' - when it was put on board -bat rep el, .1./Blters from 80102nf.•., of .the I::t . in&t,, state that the 4.1 . t./etest part of the Austrian troops in garrison in tLat f . ! i;y have been encamped for some days in the neighbour good, at Tiaxano, Pontecchio, and Sasso. The Austrians give out that it is for the purpose of exercisin g them and executing grand manoeuvres in autumn. It has been re marked, however, that the arrangements made by the mili tary commander are those which usually precede the opening of a campaign. D ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY, —The Royal Humane So ciety at their last meeting awarded to Mr. John Milton, - surgeon, of Castle-street, Falcon-square, City, their horo ary bronze medallion, and a vote of thanksinscribed on parchment, for his successful exertions in plunging in and re cuing a child from out of the Medway Canal, ear Gravesend, on the 9th ult., the child having fallen in while playing on the banks. MANCHESTER MECHANICS' INSTITUTION EXHIBITION. —A. communication from the Secretary of the Man chester Mechanics' Institution informs us that, in con sequence of the inability of Lord Palmerton to be present, the inaugural weetieg, which it was intended to hold on the 9th inst., has been postponed. The exhi bition will be opened to season ticket holders on that day, as originally contemplated, but without any cere mony whatever beyond a very brief address from the president. GREECE.—The Corriere Italian() of Vienna says : " Prince George Ypsilanti, nephew of the famous Greek Princes Alexander and Demetrius, arrived here on the Ist from Paris and London. It is said that his journey to those capitals was connected with the question of the succession to the throne of Greece, to which be has claims in the event' of the renunciation to the throne by Prince Adalbert. Prince Ypsilanti is 20 years of age, and possessed of great wealth." DISCOVERY OF GOLD IN TASIIIANIA.—From Tasmania we have no direct intelligence by these arrivals, but through the Melbourne papers we are glad to learn that the reported discovery of gold at Fingal is said to be confirmed, and that already a considerable body of diggers have commenced operations. We trust that they may be successful, for the benefit which the colony will realise will be incalculable if this intelligence should fortunately prove true.- 7 -AuStraltigTh and, Now Zogland Gazette. lbert. erbeer. lbert.

CORN EXCHANGE. Great heaviness prevailed in the wheat trade in the whole of the country markets held on Saturday, and a con siderable fall took place in the quotations. Most kinds of spring corn were in fair request, at full prices, but flour was very dull. Tha French markets have been rather drooping, and the supplies of produce have increased. Largo quantities of wheat and flour continue to be shipped from America.• Increased supplies of English wheat came fresh to our market last week. The imports of foreign produce were 12,317 quarters of wheat, '2,784 barley, 19,118 oats, 10 beans, 450 peas, 3,575 seeds, 40 sacks, and 31,473 barrels of flour. The fresh arrivals of English wheat up to our market this morning was only moderate, and we observed a great difference in the quality of the samples. Some portion of last week's supply was again brought forward, and the stands were, consequently, fairly supplied. The attend ance of millers was tolerably good, and the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled inactive, at a decline in the quotations realised on Monday last of from ss. to Os. per quarter. There was a tolerably extensive show of foreign wheat. Even the finest parcels were much neglected, and the busi• ness doing in all kinds was so trifling that the quotations were almost nominal. Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little atten• LAW INTELLJ .GENCE.—(This Day.) 3 - - 84 3 - zfra 8 1 i tion. There was a moderate demand for the beat barley at last week's currency. Inferior kinds, however, were rather dull, and the turn in favour of buyers by ls. to 2s. per quarter. 32 -33 i 91 - 93 PREFERENCE SHARES. St. 100 'Aberdeen Deben. ... - ... St. 100 Do. 6 per cent.

The prisoner was seen by Thomas Curtis, 78 L, lying near Christchurch, in the Blackfriars-road, about two o'clock in the morning, in a stato of insensibility, and, believing her to be drunk, he attempted to raise her up. She was, however, powerless, and on lifting her up he saw fall from her an empty phial labelled outside " poison." He immediately procured assistance and conveyed her to the hospital, where the stomach pump was used, and it was then ascertained she had taken laudanum. After considerable difficulty animation was restored, and after remaining in the hos pital a week she was brought before Mr. Combe and charged with attempting to destroy her self. She refused to give any account of herself or rela tires, which induced his worship to remand her several times. Through a report of the circumstance appearing in the newspapers, a letter wa3 received from her rela tives in the country, when it was ascertained that her late husband had been under groom in a branch of the Royal family, and since then she had been living in dif ferent parts of the country, but was missed by her friends about two years ago. One of her friends came forward and promised to take her back to the country, if she promised to remain there. The prisoner said she was extremely sorry for having attempted to commit such a rash act, and on her pro mising not to repeat it, she was discharged and up to her friends. 6 ... - 32 ... - 514 ... - - .1 65 ---- KESCELLLNEOI7I3.

Store stock is mostly held at very full rates in the whole of our grazing districts. The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was but moderate, and its general quality was inferior. From our own grazingdistricts the receipts of beasts fresh up were very moderate for the time of year, and their general condition was by no means first-rate. The beef trade ruled steady, and in sorae instances prices were 2d per 81bs higher than on Monday last. The best Scots rea lised 4s 10d per 81bs. The receipts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nor thamptonshire amounted to 2,200 short-horns ; from other parts of England 600 of various breeds ; and from Ireland 370 oxen. No fresh supplies of beasts from Scotland. We wore but moderately supplied with sheep. Although the demand for most breeds was inactive, prices had, i❑ some instances, an upward tendency. The best old Downs realised 5s 4d per 81b. Lambs are now nearly out of season, and they mostly sold at mutton prices. We were scantily supplied with calves, which sold briskly at an advance in the quotations of 4d per 81bs. There was a bettor demand for pigs, at fully last week's currency.

DARING GARROTYE ROBBERT.—Johni Garrett, 22, and James Murphy, 24, a ticket-of-leave man, were brought before Mr. Beadon, charged with the following daring robbery. George Sapside deposed that he was a glass engraver, and resided at No. 44, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square. Last night, about twelve o'clock, he was passing down Bruton-street on his way home, when he had occasion to go into Barlow Mews for a certain purpose, and while he was standing there the prisoner Garrett came behind him, put his hands round his neck, pulled him on his back and nearly strangled him. The prisoner Murphy then came up and struck him a dreadful blow between the eyes, and knelt down upon his stomach. Prisoner, who was in great agony at the time, could not call out—he could only utter slight groans. The prisoner Murphy then seized hold of prosecutor's gold watch-guarJ, and endeavoured to pull the watch from his pocket. Witness resisted a well as he could, and the guard broke front the watch. At that moment a constable came up and the prisoners ran off. l'iley were pursued and taken into custody. Wilson, 110 C, said about a quarter-past 12 last night he was on duty in Conduit-street, when he heard groank, proceed from the direction of Bruton-street. He ran to the spot, and in Barlow-mews he saw the prisoners with the prosecutor down on his back. Murphy was on the top of him, and as soon as they saw witness they ran off. Witness pursued them, and, with assistance, took them into custody. Sergeant Loom, B division, proved that Murphy was a ticket•of-cave man, he having been transported five years ago for a burglary in Pimlico. The other prisoner had also been convicted before. The prisoners, who denied the charge, were fully com mitted for trial. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.) LONDON, Sept. B.—Wind this day at noon, S.W. ; light airs and hazy.

A rise of a half per cent. by the Bank of Belgium was mentioned on Saturday, and it isevident that on the continent generally a considerable pressura money prevails, which has most likely been augmented by the active employment of gold in the purchase of silver EAST &IF/FOLK RAILWAY.—Sir S. Morton Peto has offered to extend his 14 years' lease of the line and tolls, already provisionally agreed upon, to the term of 21 years at the same guaranteed rent of 6 per cent. per annum. It is also proposed that the Lowestoft ane Beccles and Yarmouth and Haddiscoe Companies shall be amalgamated with the East Suffolk. Special meet ings are to be held shortly for the purpose of consider ing these arrangements- THE AMERICAN MAILS.—LIVERPOOL, Saturday.—The British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship Asia, Captain Edward Lott, sailed from the Mersey this afternoon, at 2 o'clock, for New York, with the usual bi-weekly mails for the United States and Canada ; 140 passengers, amongst whom were Major-General Trollops and suite, and a large and very valuable cargo of met chandise on freight. Previous to her departure, copies of the daily papers of this date were sent on board the Asia by Messrs. Willmer and Smith, of Liverpool, for the press and public institutions of the Western Con tinent. The next mail steamer due from the United States is the British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship Canada, with advices from New York to the 26tb, Boston to the 27th, and Halifax to the 28th ult. The Royal West India mail steamer Thames will leave Southampton on the 20th inst. for the West Indies to relieve the Clyde. The Tamar, which arrived home on Saturday with the South American mails, made the voyage between Lisbon and Southampton in 3 days and 3 hours, the quickest on record ; 50 or 60 years ago the journey from London to Edinburgh would have occu pied as much tune. The Tamar was not due le England before the 16th inst. ; she accordingly reached home 10 days before her time, an unprecedented event. She was built by White, Cowes. A new line of screw steamers will commence running between Southampton and South America on the 23d, touching at Bahia and Rio de Janeiro only • 106 ,10313 3xd 16A 1051 6 54 Miifx.cl 50 49} 52i 40i # 40 57i xd 1 st Pm 67 j 6 7A 15 r ~ ~~ a ...4 .-- b tr LI Zbittton SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock.

MANY MATTERS. The two most important sporting incidents of the past week were unquestionably the investigation into the Aladdin case, and the publication of the weights for the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire Stakes. They who attentively read the evidence given before the referees with respect to the identity of the horse Aladdin can only arrive at the con viction that Mr. Edwin Parr has been made an unfortunate victim, and that he has been compelled to pay dearly for his whistle. The facts may be thus briefly stated : A man goes to Tattersall's and purchases a horse for fifteen guineas, and imme diately by ringing the changes sells it to a friend with a false pedigree for 71 guineas 1 As it is, however, the Gretna horse, the veritable Aladdin, about whom all the fuss has been made, proved to be a lucky and valuable purchase ; but the Ukraine horse, which was sold at Tattersall's for 74/. 11s., went blind, and after working on a farm is now driven in a baker's cart. The conduct of the " Guernsey witness" was throughout the entire affair meat suspicious and discreditable. The referees acquitted Mr. Parr of all blame, but the framers of the Cesarewitch Handicap have very properly marked their opinion of the whole proceeding by putting Aladdin at the top of the list, with the steadying weight of 9st. 121 b. If Handicappers, by the way, would always place the heaviest imposts upon horses that have been used in any manner for the purpose of duping and vic timising the public, something like honesty and fair dealing would be obtained. I would have those horses placed at the top of the list, with a black line to separate them from the others. I have scarcely had time to examine carefully the weights for the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire, which, by the way, I supplied exclusively to the first edition of The Sun on Friday. The imposts, however, appear to have been most carefully distributed. It is said that a celebrated Northern Handicapper was desired to make a handicap "as a guide," and it is said that in certain instances nearly a stone difference was discovered in his estimate of a horse, and that formed by the stewards. One animal in particular, the property of a nobleman, was so leniently treated by him that if the impost had not been altered the ring would have immediately discovered a rather hot favourite. The Trapper and Pole Star have been backed with some show of spirit since the publication of the weights, and they are certainly not over handicapped. I should advise he reader, however, to reserve his operations until after the publication of the acceptances. I shall not at present hazard an opinion.abaut the chances, as I ha►e no pretensions to a knowledge of stable secrats or the intensions of owners of horses. A letter from Newmarket informs ms of the death of Mr. John Bottom, who was well known to a large ma jority of sporting men, and who was widely respected in the town of Newmarket. Mr. Bottom, of late years, ept the Jockey Ciub Rooms, and he discharged the luties of his situation in a manner which created general satisfaction. He has left a widow and a young family to deplore their loss. The opinion which I expressed respecting the War wick meeting in my letter from Leamington on Tuesday .light was fully borne out, and it is said that the commit ' en were not best pleased that Mr. Merry should reserve lie most attractive " bill " for his benefit on Thursday. Isaac Day was in great force with his lot of horses, and [ am glad that Lord Clifden possesses so undeniably good an animal as Melissa. Isaac Day is a clever trainer, a shrewd tactitian, and a very popular man vithal. lam told, too, that ha is a constant reader of The Sun, and at admirer of " The Fresh Man," two very ‘miable traits in his character. I ha'l some of his cham pagne after the race for the Cup, and drank his health, although he didn't know it. Another source of gratifica tion was opened at Warwick by the success of Lord Rib hlesdale's Greyling, and we trust that this wilt be only the forerunner of many triumphs on the turf. His lordship's corses will, I hope, soon sport his colours. 'William Day was, too, "as pleased as punch" by Lord llibbles ale's good fortune, and there is often a good deal of pleasure to be derived from seeing the success of a nobleman now a days, for it is not often that the return ists have any very respectable names amongst the .inners. What is Mr. E. R. Clark about with Mr. Sykes 1 Why is he knocking him about in so extraordinary a manner as we have seen of late ? In a word, what is his game ? Ellington is spiritedly backed for the St. Leger, but his partisans had better reserve their shouting until the raoe is over. The Wizird of the North is in earnest and means mischief, whilst an outidcr is talked of as coming—where from I can't tell. The races appointed for the current week are not very attractive. The Lichfield Meeting will commence to. , norrow, but its programme is not at all promising. Whichever Tom Taylor sends for the Staffordshire Stakes—Typec or Shoreham—will win, whilst Mr. Mather will have the negative satisfaction of seeing his bad-tempered little brute St. Clare second. Tricolour ought to win the Champagne, but if she is not sent for it, Yorkshireman will pull through. Illuminator may carry off the Biennial Stakes, and the City Members' Cup I shall assign to Shoreham. The Lincoln Meeting will, perhaps, afford the best racing of the week, but somehow the officials in that locality do not exactly "put their horses' heads to gether." For the Handicap my fancy points to the two top weights, Courtenay and Yorkshire Grey. Auzury will win the Granby Stakes. For the Brocklesby Han- dicap I shall select Vindex and Prince Plausible. Metropolitan turfites will patronise the Rochester and Chatham "appointment." The sport, however, will not he remarkably attractive. Either Caledonian or Emu lation ought to win the Tradesmen's Plate. Index i; turned loose for the Rockingham Handicap. Should Fulbeck start for the Members' Plate his number will, perhaps, be first hoisted on the telegraph. For the New Stakes I fancy Barbarity. Sept. S. A FRESH MAN. The specie arrivals of the week have amounted to 1,150,0001. silver, but the whole will be absorbed by the Eastern and continental demand. The Yorkshireatan understands that the Lady Char lotte Scott, daughter of the Earl of Eldon, and niece of Lord Feversham, is about to be united to her cousin, Eldon Surtees Bankes, Et:q , of Corfe Castle. LONDON ANTIQUITIES IN BRITISH MUSEUM—Those who look in to that comparatively desert space in the British Museum, called the British and Mediaeval depart ment, will find that one of the empty cases has been filled with a part of the valuable collection of antiquities which Lave been chiefly gathered from the Thames and London, after years of patient care, by Mr. C. Roach Smith. The matters at present exposed to public vi 3 are but a tithe of the ancient remains of Old London, which have, by the efforts cf the press, and the exertions of a number of individuals, become national property ; it is, however, pleasant to look over them. The speci mens of glass of various colours are well worthy of no tice ; the deep rich tints, of blue and purple, are particu lady rich. The castings of heads, of fine design, in deli. cately coloured glass, have quite a gem-like appearance some of these beautiful objects are from Clement s; lane, and other parts of the City. There are some fragments of old armour from East Smithfield ; bronze Celts, and other similar matters, found off the Temple in 1831; Roman and Saxon swords, found off the Temple ; small altars ; combs, of different width of teeth ; Saxon crosses, and other objects of the greatest use in illustrat ing the history and manners of ancient London. It would be a great benefit if the thousands of objects of value and interest contained in the British Museum were described in a popular manner, and at some length ; the place would then be like an instructive and useful book to all 6, who chose to walk through it.—The Builder. RAILWAY MEETINGS. The railway meetings of the week have been principally of a secondary character, but they have presented some facts of interest. The report of the Midland Groat Western Company states that the directors propose to declare a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent:, leaving a surplus of 3,96 U/. to be carried forward. The branch lino to Cavan has been opened, but it is too early to judge of the pro bable development of traffic. The shareholders of the Dundee, Perth, and Aberdeen Junction Com pa uy have a d op t e d th e report, an d approve d t h e dividend of li per cent. per annum. The under taking shows a gradual improvement, mainly attri buted to the result of cordial co-operation with the other lines in the district. It is stated that the Alyth Railway, when carrried out, will become an important feeder. The directors of the East Anglian Railway anticipate an important improvement in the traffic receipts from the completion by the cor poration of Lynn of the quarrying of the Boal Point, which will afford increased accommodation for steamers or other vessels using the port. The dividend of the Melbourne and Hobson's Bay Com pany has been declared at the rate of 8 per cent., leaving a balance of 8,9231. The report of the Cornwall Railway has been adopted, and the for feiture of shares confirmed. The works are repre sented thus far to have proceeded satisfactorily, and to be in an advanced state ; but their further active prosecution will depend upon the speedy posses sion/of sufficient funds. At the meeting of the Lan cashire and Yorkshire Company the dividend of 21. ss. for the half-year was agreed to, and the directors were authorised to oppose all bills in Par- Earl:rept considered prejudicial. The report of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company has been agreed to, and the"dividends declared at the rate of 2 per cent. on the consolidated stock, and 5 per cent. on the preferencd shares. Owing to increased expen diture aid the' effects of competition, the results of the half-year have not proved satisfactory. At the meeting of the Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway the dividend of Gs. per share was agreed to. It is stated that the traffic is increasing, and that it will exhibit further improvement on the completion of the line to Enniskillen. The report of the North British Railway is considered more favourable, and prudence and economy will, it is hoped, place the undertaking on a sound basis. The dividend on the ordinary stock is proposed to be at the rate of 2i per cent., while that on the guaranteed stock will be at the rate of 5 per cent. Attention is to be directed to a further reduction in working expenses, if it can be judiciously effected. The Railway Pas sengers' Assurance Company have declared a divi dend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, and the report has been received. The principal discussion was with respect to the general outlay, which it was explained is incurred to obtain an increased business. The report of the Staines, Wokingham, and Woking Railway details the progress of the undertaking, and states that the directors have not considered it de sirable to commence the works on the branch line from Long Cross to Woking. The promoters of the Buntingford and Ware Railway have held a meet ing at Buntingford, and resolutions have been passed approving the project. The works on the Ulverstone and Lancaster Railway are steadily pro ceeding, and when they shall have been completed a remunerative return is expected. The directors have called the remaining 51. per share. The divi dend of the Glasgow and South-Western Company will be at the rate of 4 per cent., leaving a small balance to be carried forward. At the meeting of the Great Southern and Western the dividend de clared was at the rate of 6 per cent., il,e revenue showing a progressive increase. The traffic of th Whitehaven and Furness line exhibits an improve ment, but the working expenses continue heavy. The dividend of the Whitehaven, Cleator, and Egremont Company is at the rate of 4 per cent., and the mineral traffic is being fully developed. The report of the South Devon Company is re garded as satisfactory, and a dividend of 7s. per share has been agreed to. Arrangements for leasing the Sough Devon and Tavistock Railway and the Lee Moor branch were carried, the directors being also authorised toraise additional capital. The direc tors of the Exeter and Exmouth Company state that additional subscriptions having been made to the share capital, they propose to take the neces sary steps for purchasing land and entering into coutracts for the construction of the line. Accord ing to the report of the Fleetwood, Preston, and West Riding Junction Company, the working of the united line will be at once proceeded with. The traffic of the Furness line has been consider able, and the dividend declared has been at the rate of S per cent. per annum. At the meeting of the Caledonian and Dumbartonshire Junction the dividend declared was at the rate of 4 per cent., and the report was adopted. The Forth and Clyde Junction having been opened, passengers are taken through from‘Glasgow to Stifling, passing over the line to Balloch. It has been agreed to wind up the Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle Junc tion Company, the Chancery proceedings having been finally concluded. A small balance is re tained to meet contingencies. The works on the Portsmouth line are advancing, but the section from Godalming to Witney has received the greatest attention. The pressure in the money-market has prevented full activity, although on the whole prospects are not considered dis.louraging. The progress of the East Kent Company is regarded as satisfactory ; and it is stated that the portion from Strood to Faversham will be completed in about 12 months. The bridge over the Medway at Rochester has been finished within the time specified, at a cost considerably within the estimate. The dividend of the Norfolk Company is at the rate of 21. 10s. per cent., and the trade at all the ports and agricultural stations has improved. The directors have been authorised to raise a sum of 30,0001. by the creation of new shares at a rate of interest not exceeding 5 per cent. The report of the Birkenhead, Lanca shire, and Cheshire Junction Railway has been adopted, and the dividend declared is at the rate of 2i. per cent. At the North-Western meeting it was explained that the balance of revenue is in sufficient to allow the payment of a dividend. The traffic has been affected by the strike in the iron districts of Ayrshire, which has exercised a very prejudicial influence throughout the neighbourhood, The dividends of the South Yorkshire Company have been declared at the rate of l-- per cent. on the guaranteed stock, and the report, after some discussion with regard to the accounts, was carried. The available balante of the Hereford, Ross, and Glocester Company will be applied to reduce the existing debt. An increase of traffic is expected, and if the remaining shares can be issued, they will realise a sum sufficient to relieve the under taking from all liability. The dividend of the Vale of Neath Company has been declared at the rate of 4 per cent., but, owing to the limited at tendance, a meeting could not be legally consti tuted. At the Sheffield, Rotherham, Wakefield, and Goole meeting the dividend declared was at the rate of 5 per cent., and the advantage of an arrangement with the Lancashire and 'Yorkshire Company is still under consideration. The report of the Cannock Mineral Company has been adopted, and the directors have been authorised to carry out the proposed agreement with the North Staf fordshire Company.—Times City Article. OPEN-AIR, PREACHING AT BETHNAL GREEN. Sir Benjamin rail's prohibition against preaching in Victoria-park on Sundays bad the effect yesterday of keeping out the clergymen and di ssen ti ng min i sters w h o had mae arrangements for a series of sermons there ; but as the right hon. baronet's authority did not extend to Bishop Bonner's-fields, which adjoin tl!.e park, that cicrgymaa whose turn it was to tal:e the duty . had hie pulpit erected without the bound:sits cif the pad:, and about a hundred yards from its principal entrance. The service, according to announcement, commenced at half pa t three o'clock, at which time the Rev. W. D. Long, MA., the incumbent of St. Paul's Church, Bermondsey, took his place. After some appropriate prayers selected from the Liturgy of the Church of England the rev. gentleman addressed the vast mass of persons who sur rounded him. He stated that he was anxious to im press upon them that he was not there in defiance of legal authority, which he wished at all times to respect, for the prohibition issued by the Commiinioner of Works only applied to the park, and he bad ascertained that there were no impediments to a service being conducted in Bishop Bonner% -Selds. As a clergyman of the Church of England he bad asked the permission ß of the incum bent of the district—St. John's, et hnai -„,o . reen—to preach there, and that consent had been readily nary t r o versem r remarks the the rev. . e g h gen. ter of St. Matthew's Gospe l : t St i r e a m n a te n d ;ele A ct f e te d r f or thesehis "Thot shalt call his n am e Jesus, for he shall sa ve his peoplet from their sins." textprel im the of Scripture Mr. Long preached in a Upon this passage very fervid manner , to upwards of two thousand per sons, all of whom app eared to listen t o him with re spectful attention. Ver y decorous conduct Was oh served throughout the whole of the proceedings. At St. John's Church, the incumbent Gf which had g i ven his consent to the out-of-door preaching, there was a very poor congregation. It is one of the largest churches in the metropolis, but while Mr. Long was preaching in the fields, there were in the church only two men and fifteen women. The open air preachings in Bishop Bonner's•fields are to be continued, several of the most eminent clergymen and dissenting ministers in London having volunteered their services. - - _ It is currently rumoured, but we do not vouch for the correctness of the report, that the Right Hon. Charles F. Villiers, the present Judge Advocate-General, and brother of Lord Clarendon, will probably be the successor of the late Sir William Temple as minister at the Court of Naples. Mr. Villiers' political views would seem to qualify him for this particurar post at the present mo. mect.—Mandaster Guardian. ton. sini.
