310.2 7 EY MARKET "IND CITY IVEIVS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The demand for discount accommodation con tinues very moderate, and the rates show increased firmness, the best bills being negotiable at 3 per cent. A large amount of gold, viz,, £145,000, was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. There was no material alteration in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. A meeting of the Oriental Bank Corporation will take place on the 29th proximo, for the decla ration of an interim dividend. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £440,000, and the exports £124,370. A fair amount of business was transacted in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were well maintained. The sales were about 15,000 bales. The traffic receipts of the Dutch Rhenish Rail way for the fortnight ending the 31st ult. amounted to £10,670, showing an increase of £933 compared with the same period last year. The Market for Public Securities has continued dull, the dealings especially for transfer having been very restricted. At the commencement prices were steady, but a decline of I per cent. has since occurred, Consols closing at 931 for money, and 93e I for account. The New Threes are steady at 91a I; the Reduced at 912 -a ; Exchequer Bills, March, at 2s. prem. ; ditto June, ss. to Bs. prem.; India 5 per Cent.

Notice was received by the masons' committee yesterday, that four additional firms had acceded to the terms of the men, viz., Mr. Batterbury, builder, of Camden-town, employing about 20 masons ; Mr. Woodhouse, of Kingsland ; Mr. Pegram, ditto; and Mr. Farrer, ditto. A letter was also received by the committee from Mr. Aickin, architect and civil engineer, advising the masons to form a co-operative company under the Limited Liability Act, and exe cute contracts, several of which were ready to be given to them. Mr. Aicken offered his personal services to assist in the formation of the company. The rules of the masons' society, however, prevent them as a body from entering into such a scheme, but several members have individually expressed themselves favourable to it, anl. measures will be taken to test its practicability. The works at the Jews' Hospital, Lower Norwood, erecting by Mr. Wilson, builder, of the Borough, were on Thursday brought nearly to a standstill, owing to the necessity he was under of discharging nearly the whole of the men he has had working for him as bricklayers under the hour system. On Mr. Wilson introducing this system some few weeks ago, the whole of the bricklayers working for him left, and he then obtained the service of about 20 men, se lected from a number who came up from the country, and providing themselves with a trowel, rule, and plummet, offered themselves as bricklayers. The result has been that, within the last few days, the clerk of the works has been compelled to condemn between 20 and 30 rods of brickwork as unfit to stand. A rod contains a measurement of completed brickwork consisting of 4,500 bricks, and the loss thus entailed on the the contractor became so seri ous that he has been compelled almost wholly to suspend operations until he can obtain competent workmen. A job of Mr. Patrick's, builder, of West minster-road, at Norwocd, is suffering from the same cause. Delegates from the bricklayers have visited the Southern districts, and formed lodges in connection with the London society in all the principal towns, and they are now making a tour through the North ern districts with similar meccas.

MR, EDWIN BOOTH.—This gentleman, wh o makes his first appearance at the Haymark e t T heatre on Monday, Sept. 30, is the son of the once celebrated Junius, Brutus Booth, formerly of Covent garden and D rury.lane Theatres, and who was contemporary with the Elder Kean. Mr. Booth many years since went to America, where h e acquired fame and fortune. His son, who is in his 27th year, holds a high position in America. His acting is said to be remarkable for vigour and originality, and of the school of his father and Edmund Kean. A great success is predicted by those who know Mr. Edwin Booth; and, should he meet with the approbation of a London public, it is intended to present him in the characters of Sir Giles Overreach, Othello, Richelieu, Hamlet, and other leading characters of our great English Drama.—Era. The Independance states that the future husband of the daughter of King Victor Emmanuel is not the King of Portugal, but the Duke of Operto, the king's younger brother. SIiABB MARKET.--(THIS DAY).

POLICE .INTELLIG.ENCE.-4.l7tis Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. RODBERY AND VIOLENCE TOWARDS LADIES.--Wm. Wilkins, 17, a rough-looking fellow, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing the purse of Miss Caroline Bailie, of 26, Connaught-squaro, and also with assaulting Miss Sophia Bailie, of the same address. Miss Caroline Bailie said she was walking yesterday in Oxford-street with her sister, when prisoner wrenched her purse out of hes hand ; he struck her at the time which bewildered her, but on recovery she pursued him. She was certain the prisoner was the person who took her purse. Her purse contained about 30s. at the time. The prisoner was pursued by a man, to whom she pointed the prisoner out. The purse produced was the same she lost, and contained the exact amount of money. Prisoner owned . to taking her purse, and was taken into custody. A constable said he was at Marylebone station when the ladies came, and he in consequence went to a public-house at the corner of Wigmore-street, and took prisoner, who said " I took the purse. I've been starving or would not have done it." At the station prisoner produced the purse from his stocking. Prisoner said he was very sorry. Constable said he gave a wrong address. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial. The case of assault was not gone into. CLERKENWELL. Thomas Pain was placed at the bar, charged with intent to commit a house robbery. Police constable S 412 said this morning he was on duty near Camden-square, when, in consequence of certain cir cumstances, he was induced to go to the premises Nos. 49 and 51, Murray-street, and there found the prisoner, whose intention was to rob the place. The prisoner said such was not his object. The magistrate said the offence nearly amounted to burglary. The prisoner strongly protested that such was not his intention. He could not, however, account for his presence on the premises. The magistrate sent him to the House of Correction for three months. A PAIR of AMAZONS.—Two girls named Edmonds and Wright were charged with creating a disturbance. Police-constable, No. 208, said about one o'clock this morning he found the two prisoners engaged in a regular fistic encounter. He tried to persuade them to be quiet, but they refused to do so, and went at it again, with renewed determination. He was compelled to take them to the station. The magistrates sentenced the prisoners for a week. THAMES. DUPES OF THE . DISTRICT SAVINGS BANK, LIMITED. --Two respectable mechanics came before Mr. Selfe, to ask his advice and assistance as to the best means of recovering the money they had invested in a bubble scheme, called the " District Savings Bank, Limited," which at the time of its break up had a branch office in Stepney. Mr. Selte interrupting the parties—Directly the name of the " bank" was mentioned, said, " You mean the Fleet-street concern." The applicants—Yes, sir, yes. We invested some money in the concern, and can't get it—a hard case, sir. Mr. Selfe—Very indeed. The scheme was a delusion, a sham. This is one of numerous bubbles. Large inte rest was promised, a halfpenny in the pound more than the regular savings' banks, and people were gulled. I can't help you. I wish I could. In future invest your savings in the regular Government savings' banks, managed by re spectable trustees. There are 12 or 14, or more of them, in the metropolis. Then there are the post-office savings' banks, which you will find everywhere very soon. I hope the poor and industrious portion of the community will be gulled no longer by spurious promises of large interest. The concern you mention is being wound up, and you may or may not obtain a dividend. The applicants—Can't we proceed against the share holders, managers, and secretary ? Mr. 'elfe—No. It is under the Limited Liability Act, and each shareholder is only liable for the amount of his subscription. It is limited liability. Mr. Charles Young, a solicitor, here said—Very limited, indeed, sir. lam afraid the poor dupes who have been de prived of their savings will get nothing. Many of them have been to me, but I could do nothing for them. Mr. Selfe—l believe £3 10s. per cent. was promised to depositors. An applicant—Four and a-half per cent, was promised. Second Applicant—ln some cases 6 per cent. was the promise held out. Mr. Selfe—lt was a scandalous delusiot. Mr. Gomm, clerk to Mr. Charles Young, whose little boy was a depositor in the " District Savings Bank, Limited," said it was a complete and deliberate swindle. He understood that it was proposed that another company should take its liabilities and business. Mr. Selfe—The regular and old established savings banks allow 3 per cent. They are safe, and the poor should in- vest in them. DARING _HIGHWAY ROBB RR F AND ATTEMPTED MURDER. WALTHAMSTOW, FRIDAY. Yesterday evening the neighbourhood of Walthamstow was thrown into state of unusual excitement by one of the most daring acts of highway robbery and attempted murder that has been perpetrated for some years. About 9 o'clock in the evening a gentleman, whose name has not transpired, was passing through some fields, situated between Lea-bridge station and Walthamstow station, when he was stopped by a man, who presented a cccked pistol at him and,demanded his money; he did not want his life, he said, but he must have either that or his money. The gentleman surrendered his money, amounting to 395., and was allowed to depart, while the successful highwayman pursued his avocation in the same locality. The next person he met was a Miss Atkinson, residing with her parents at Walthamstow, and from her he demanded money, at the same time saying that he did not wish to hurt her if she would comply with his demand. Miss Atkinson said she had none, and if she had she would not give it to him, and while they were arguing the matter Miss Atkinson, jun., came up, accompanied by Mr. W. Chevers. The highwayman then left Miss Atkin son, and addressing himself to Mr. Chevers, demanded his gold watch and chain as well as his money. Mr. Chevers refused, and the ruffian immediately presented a pistol at his head, and threatened to shoot him unless he immediately surrendered his valuables. Mr. Chevers made a dash at his opponent to secure him. The villain perceived his object, and discharged his weapon at him, but fortunately missed his aim, though Mr. Chevers's right cheek was seriously scorched with the powder. This naturally checked him in his purpose, but as soon as he recovered himself a little he again endeavoured to secure his assailant, but the ruffian was well armed, and he discharged a second pistol at Mr. Chevers's head. The ball this time struck him on the left cheek, and laid him senseless on the grass. The assassin then made off, and, assistance having been procured, Mr. Chevers was conveyed to Walthamstow, where medical aid was at once procured, and it was discovered that the wounds were not likely to prove fatal. _ The police wore immediately communicated with, and Sergeant Carpenter commenced an active search for the delinquent. Suspicion at present rests upon a young gen tleman of good family, who has been hoard to express an intention of shooting his uncle with a loaded pistol, which he carries about with him for that purpose. However, as the police have got the matter in hand, it will no doubt soon be brought before the public by a judicial investiga tion. ANOTHER VESSEL SUNK IN THE THAMES.- Yesterday afternoon a vessel heavily laden with manure was proceeding down the river, and having arrived oppo:•ite Paul's-wharf pier, it was swamped in consequence of the rough state of the water. The crew clung to the rigging and called loudly for help. Several boats at once put off from the pier, and with great difficulty succeed in rescuing them. The wreck causes considerable obstruction to the passage of the steamers, and attempts will therefore be made as soon as possible to remove it. THE PEMBROKE DOCK AND TENBY RAILWAY.- As considerable activity is manifested by the engineers on this intended line, especially in the neighbourhood of the terminus at the former place, there is every reason to ex pect an early commencement of the works. The Board of Admiralty are affording the undertaking every necessary assistance. The ex-Queen of Naples has received from the hands of Count de Briancourt the splendid testimonial of admiration offered to her Majesty by the Legitimist ladies of France, in the form of a diadem of brilliants, enclosed in an elaborately chiselled silver casket, valued altogether at 600,000 f. THE BLACK PRINCE.—As the specified time is fast approaching when this vessel will leave the Clyde, the Messrs. Napier have put forth their utmost energies to have her completed as early as possible ; and if the present in tention is adhered to, we believe she will be sent round to Portsmouth in little more than six weeks from this time. In steaming round the vessel will be rigged with jurymasts, and probably the permanent steering apparatus. It is of paramount importance for the exigencies of the service that she should be put in commission with all possible dis patch. The telegrams from New York yesterday show the anticipation of a further ad vance in the rate of exchange to have been corn_ ct, the quotation being now firm at 108. With the large issues of Government notes and securities, a continuance of this movement seems inevitable, notwith standing the temporary check it may receive from the pur chases of wheat for France. The commercial advices from Buenos Ayres via Bordeaux, by the French mail steamer, bring the intelli gence that an amicable arrangement has been entered into between the contending parties for a peaceful separation of Buenos Ayres from the Argentine Confederation. A treaty is to be drawn out by two Plenipotentiaries, and Senor Riestra has already been named to act in that capacity for the former Government, Musiness done FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT.

The number of competitors was upwards of 70. The horticultural exhibition afforded an op. portunity for displaying their vegetables, which were of remarkably fine quality. The members of the association afterwards dined together, under the presidency of Mr. Hamersley, and among the guests are the Right Hon. Mr. Henley, M.P., Colonel North, M.P,, Captain Drake, R.N., Mr. J. Henley, the Rev. C. V. Spencer, Mr. A. Brown, Mr. J. Round, Mr. T. Taylor, and many other gentlemen connected with the district. Tho CHAIRMAN, in proposing " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers," c3upled with the toast the names of Colonel North and Capt. Drake, the son in-law of Mr. Henley. The Volunteer movement had now become a great fact, and he was glad to find such a body of men devoting themselves to the military art in such a manner as to insure their becoming efficient soldiers. (Cheers.) Colonel NORTH responded on the part of the army, and expressed a hope that another division of Volunteers would be got up at Watlington, and that a practice-ground would be formed in some convenient place between Thame and Watlington, where the two corps could drill together. The re marks which he made two years ago with regard to the immense imporanee of discipline had been re cently verified by what had taken place in America. Drill was merely a means to au end. However per fect the drill might be, it was worth very little without discipline. (Hear, hear-) In America a body of 30,000 men—men undoubtedly brave, men of our own extraction—had run away like a flock of sheep. The officers had no command over them, and the men had no confidence in their officers. (Hear, hear.) If the Volunteers wished to be of use to their country, they would find that discipline was the only thing that could render them effec tive. One thing had been witnessed in America which had never been witnessed in this country, and. never would be. Whether our men liked or disliked the service, he was convinced that no divi sion of any English regiment would have*the cou rage to leave the army the moment a fight was expected. Such an occurrence was almost unpre cedented in the annals of the world, and it was per fectly astonishing that in any country a body of men should say " Our three months are up," and then take up their hats and walk away. (Hear, hear.) This showed an utter want of patriotism ; and how such a thing could have happened in any country, and especially in America, he could not at all understand. (Hear, hear.) Captain DRAKE, in responding on behalf of the navy, observed that what that branch of the service had done it would, if necessary, do again. (Cheers.) Notwithstanding the large number of iron clad vessels that France was preparing for the purpose of outnumbering ours, he had no hesitation in say ing that if they should attempt to make a descent upon England we should be able to give a very good account of them. (Cheers.) The English navy gave a good account of the French vessels before, and should a war break out again he had no doubt that at its conclusion a great number of vessels would be found at Hasler and Portsmouth, as was the case after the battle of Trafalgar. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN, in proposing " The County Members," remarked on the advantages and benefits which resulted from the hon. members meeting their constituent on such festive occasions. It was well known that members of Parliament gave up a great portion of their home life to the public service, and were in the habit of working night and day. Reflecting on these matters, everyone must feel how deeply they were indebted to their representatives for their attention to the public interests. (Cheers.) Mr. HENLEY, M.P., who was loudly cheered, said that on the present occasion he laboured under some difficulty. IV hen he went to look at the ploughing for the purpose of seeing whether it was straight or crooked, he received an intimation that the London press was represented. That was a formidable announcement to some men, but he had experienced so much kindness from all the members of the press, whether metropolitan or local, that the larger the number of those gentlemen present the more was he satisfied. (Hear.) They always put the observations made in the most favourable light for the speaker, and therefore he would say the more of them the merrier. (Cheers.) He had also received an intimation that, if he had nothing par ticular to say, he had better get himself up for the occasion. (Laughter.) Now, he had never been equal to such an exertion. He could deal with any matter as it came to hand, but as to getting himself up, and instructing those who knew so much better than himself, all he could say was that if he at tempted to do so he should only be laughed at for his pains. (Laughter.) It was impossible for any one who attended these anniversaries not to see the great success which had attended them in the most important of all farming operations, and the com petition for ploughing. (Hear.) The number of teams at the present anniversary was fully equal to those at any former meeting. They amounted to between 70 or 80, and must afford great gratifica tion to all the agriculturists in the neighbourhood. Considering the limited extent of the operations of the society, the exhibition on this occasion was a convincing proof that the occupiers of the land desired to promote that which, notwithstanding the new phrases which had come into vogue was the foundation of all good agricul ture—namely, good ploughing. (Cheers.) We heard now-a-days a good deal about " smashing" up the land. He confessed that he had not yet exactly as certained what that meant. He was told that it was an operation performed by steam ploughing. Perhaps it might be equal to ploughing. Whether it was better of worse he could not say. But his belief was that good ploughing was the foundation of all agriculture, and the number of ploughs in operation at this anniversary was a convincing proof that public opinion was decidedly in favour of competitive ploughing. (Hear.) This was not the place for entering into political matters, and he had no desire to do so. All he would say was that the members of agricultural constituencies were always anxious by their presence to give their countenance and assistance to all such gatherings as the present and to render them more and more useful. (Hear.) He believed these meetings to be eminently useful. The humbler classes entertained the same opinion, and he did not see why on such occasions those who were more wealthy should not contribute, by small subscriptions, to the promotion of their welfare. (Cheers.) Colonel NORTH also responded to the toast, which was followed by several others of a local character. THE SCAFFOLDINGS AND DOMES OF THE 1862 EXHIBITION BUILDING. The mighty scaffolding is finished for one of the domes and partially so for the other. They are about 180 feet high, and are formed of 100,000 cubic feet of timber. Each of the domes, when up, will be supported by eight cast-iron columns, two feet in diameter; and without any rib, outer projection, or ornament, they will rise to the height of 108 feet the upper part being of the same diameter as the lower. Each one of these columns will be formed of five separate lengths, joined together by bolts passing through flanges cast on the inside, so that, when completed, the parts where they are joined will not be perceptible, and each will have the ap pearance of an enormous mast, without, however, its tapering end. In order to secure the different parts it will be necessary to lower some person down the inside of the column, and as there will not be room for a full grown man—the diameter at the flanges not being more than 16 inches—the work of putting in the bolts and screwing them will be performed by a boy, who will have to carry with him a lantern to see the work. In order to keep these uprights in their place, a deep collar, or rim of iron, will be placed upon, and encircle the whole of, the eight columns, and from this the ribs of the dome will spring. More than 1,000 tons of iron have already been delivered on the ground by the Thames Ironworks Company, who have con tracted for this part of the building. The iron-work of the nave, including some 1,200 columns and 800 girders, Messrs. Barrow and Co., of Staveley, are supplying.—Builder. Miss Cushman has returned from what is under stood as her farewell tour in America. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Six o'clock. TURKEY. Constantinople journals to the 11th have arrived. Up to that date no newu had been received from Syria, Moldo-Wallachia, or Servia; hut it was known that the negotiations entered into by Omer Pacha having failed, he had attacked the insurgents of the Herzegovina, and that the latter had retired before his troops, intending, it was believed, to make a stand in the mountains. As to Servia, no illusion was entertained respecting her leaning to wards Montenegro, and the gravity of the situation of all the European provinces was admitted. A letter of the same date says : "It is announced to•day that the Porte has adopted the project of a Bank, at the head of which are to be English capitalists. This affai r is not connected with the preceding one, but is en tirely new. In the next Council of "Ministers, which is to be held this afternoon or to-morrow, the details of the scheme will be examined. Th e project is, it is said, established on such a basis as to give hopes that it will succeed." AMERICA. NEW YORK, SEPT. 7. The steamship Arabia arrived at Boston early on the morning of September 6, and the steamship Glasgow at New York on the night of the 4th. The New Fork _Herald of September 7 gives the following summary of news : " A reconnaissance was made yesterday along the whole line of the Union army, from Alexandria to the Chain Bridge, and the condition of the troops proved to be most satisfactory. There are no longer complaints of demoralisation of want of discipline ; the spirit of the men is described es most excel lent. The War Department is receiving fresh troops as fast as it can assign them positions. Some heavy firing in the direction of Chain Bridge yesterday created an impression that a con flict was in progress, but it proved to be only some artillery practice from one of the batteries. The re bel pickets, however, in the vicinity of Bailey's Cross-roads and Manassas Hill are within some 700 or 800 yards of four companies of the 37th New York Volunteers, company E, commanded by Capt. Kavanagh, being in the advance, and completely under the fire of the rebel batteries on the hill. The most important news we have to chronicte to day is concerning the condition of affairs in North Carolina, resulting from the late naval victory at Hatteras Inlet. The rebels, alarmed at the expedi tion under Stringham and Butler, have abandoned Ocracoke Inlet, spiking the guns before retiring, and leaving the white flag flying. The Government is thus in possession of Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds, and, with the exception of Beaufort, virtu ally commands with its navy the whole coast of North Carolina. The War Department sen t orders to General Wool yesterday to hold Fort Hatteras permanently, and the fate of Beaufort cannot long remain doubtful. The moral effect of the capture of Hatteras Forts upon the Union men of North Carolina has been most striking. They are pour ing in by hundreds to Hatteras Inlet to take the oath of allegiance to the Federal Government, and otherwise demonstrating their fidelity to the only authority that can preserve their State from the horrors of a despotism which is dndeavouring to overrun the whole south. The loyal citizens of North Carolina have, perhaps, been made the vic tims of this despotism as much as any of the Border States. On Feb. 28 last the people of North Caro lina voted on the proposition of the Legislature to call a State Convention, and the following was the result :—Against convention, 47,269 ; for conven tion, 46,627—majority against convention, 648. Of those who voted for a convention it was said that more than one-half were Union men, who took the affirmative side under the impression that our dif ficulties might be healed by a body of repre sentatives fresh from the people. Notwithstanding that there was a clear majority of voters opposed to a convention as it was exhibited through the ballot box, Governor Ellis convened :the Leigisla tare in its extra session on the Ist of May for the express purpose of having a bill calling a regular Secession Convention, which was done in confor mity with the governor's wishes. On the 20th May the Convention so authorised met at Raleigh, and on the following day they tumbled the old North State out of the Union. Is there any wonder then, that after this proceeding large numbers of men flock to the standard of the country where ever an opportunity offers ? Governor Ellis, after thus endeavouring to deal death and destruction to the State, soon succumbed to the fell de stroyer himself, for he died immediately after the consummation of this nefarious - scheme. Accounts from Leesburg, report 7,000 rebel troops there, and considerable activity in throwing up entrenchmentsat the junction of the Little Falls Road with the Alexandria and Leesburg turnpike. The pickets of the enemy line the shores of the Potomac above Leesburg, though there were no large bodies of troops there. " We have very important news from Kentucky, via Cairo. General Grant, with two regiments of infantry, a company of light artillery, and two gun boats, took possession of Paducah at 11 o'clock yes terday morning. He found the rebel flags flying, but they were immediately torn down by the Union citizens on the approach of the troops. He took pos session of the telegraph offices, marine hospital. and other public buildings, and issued a proclamation to the people which we give in another column. The town was in great alarm at the rumoured ap proach of 3,800 rebel troops which were in close proximity to Paducah. We have to record to-day one of the most horrible episodes that ever disgraced modern warfare on the part of the rebels of Missouri, namely, the destruction of a railroad bridge on the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad, over Plate River, 9 miles east of St. Joseph, by which a whole pas senger train, containing nearly 100 inoffensive people, men, women, and children, were precipitated into the river, and 17 killed and others horribly mangled. It appers that the timber supports of the bridge had been nearly burnt through, and the fire then extinguished, thus leaving no suspicious appearance about the structure, so that when the train entered the bridge at night, the whole track gave way, resulting in the fear ful consequences above stated. It was subsequently discovered that some other bridges on the route to St. Joseph were similarly disabled, and the track obstructed with logs, in order to prevent assistance being conveyed from the town to the wounded vic tims of this cowardly outrage. The obstructions were, however, removed, and a large number of phy• sicians and others proceeded to the scene of disaster." The applications at the Sub-Treasurer's office in New York for subscriptions to the Federal Loan and for the new Treasury notes have been so numerous that the banks in New York have been authorised to issue Treasury notes over their counters in the same way and on the same principle as at the Sub-Treasury. Individual subscriptions paid into the Sub-Treasurer's office have some days exceeded 800,000 dole. The Kentucky State Legislature assembled at Frankfort on Sept. the 3d. The Washington corrEspondent of the New York Mhos states that the Federal government had given no instructions for the proclamation issued by General Fremont in Missouri, but that the measure is approved by the Federal Cabinet. Th-e—s-aine cor respondent states that the Governor of Missouri is now in Washington, remonstrating against the ex tension of martial law over the whole of Missouri, and urging the restoration of the provisional go vernment, of which be is the chief. He is said not to be successful in his mission. WHEAT FOB FRANCE.—The demand for wheat for export to France still continues. At Wisboaeh alone 20,000 qrs. are now waiting to be shipped on 1 'rench ac count, and the corn trade throughout the eastern district has received a very decided impetus from this cause. At Ipswich, for instance, one merchant alone purchased the other day 2,000 qrs. for export. At Bostoi i, again, large quantities of new sorn are constantly ; for Prance• NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

Although the general rate of discount at Parrs is below that of the Bank of France, the demand on the whole is active, and the lowest terms are 4} to I per cent. At Brus sels the rate is 4 per cent., and at Leghorn it is s}. At the other Continental cities the terms correspond more nearly to our own, the charge at Hamburg being 21, at Frankfort 2 to 3, and at Amsterdam 3 per cent. It is believed that some floating amounts of Eng lish capital are now finding their way to Paris for discount purposes at the higher rates prevalent there. " The downward movement in the price of silk," says a letter from Valence (Drome), " has ceased both in the French and Italian markets. All our advices agree in stating that prices remain firm, notwithstanding the little business doing. We are now, however, approaching a date when the silk trade will be sure to recover its former activity. We mean the Ist October, when the commercial treaty between England and France comes into operation. Prohibitive duties will then be completely suppressed, and a competition will not fail to ensue between the manu facturers of the two countries to the great advantage of consumers. If English manufacturers have the advantage in certain branches, the French are superior to them in many others. Our silks and articles of taste indisputably surpass those of our neighbours; and many of our tissues have already obtained a degree of favour in England which augurs well for our trade. As already remarked, prices are firmer in our silk-markets of the Drome and the Ardeche. Though the fair at Aubenas on the 14th inst. was not very good, there were evident symptoms of returning confidence. The silk sold amounted to I,2ookilogrammes, and the figure would have been much higher if the supply had been greater." An unusual ease was yesterday submitted to the Civil Tribunal of the Seine—to decide the ownership of a learned parrot. A. M. Glaty, who had been travelling for years in China and Siam, returned some time since with an extensive collection of eastern curiosities, not the least valuable of which was a learned.parrot, speaking in several languages with great fluency. M. Glaty, soon after his arrival in Paris, fell dangerously i.l at an hotel, and his sister, Mme. Ducimetiere, immediately caused him to be removed with all his effects, parrot included, to her house, where he remained six months, until his health was per fectly re-established. All the expenses of this long treatment were paid by M. Glaty. On removing to other lodgings, M Glaty left the parrot with his sister, but six months after, the lady having called upon the brother to settle certain money matters relating to the estate of a deceased relative, he demanded the return of his parrot. Mme. Ducimetiere refused, declaring that he had made her a present of it long before, M. tilaty affirmed that he had never intended any such thing, that he had paid in cash all the expense she had incurred on his ac count, and that it was absurd to suppose that he should give away the most valuable article of his whole collection, worth from 5,000 fr. to G,ooofr. He had merely left the bird at his sister's till he was settled. The Court, after hearing counsel for the two parties, decided that the parrot had been given to Madame Ducimetiere, and accordingly 'rejected the claim for its restoration. 151 1 6 Si 7t I tock stock stock d tCs.72‘ stock stock stack stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock 19.16 11 stock stock stock stock stock atock stock stock stock stock stock 12 10 stook d!OCti stock stock stock stock t 14.6 7.4.0 541 17s 6.8.6 8.12 4,11.6 1.10.6 3 Ili 1.14.0 9.18.9 li 10.6.7 5. i.O all 261 4i 9 13s 6cl 71 1.7.2 18.8. all all all ail all all 4 all all all 3.2.101 i I 1 t 151 i 31 171 f 1011 # 13f 131 I --~
