CITY, Two o'CLoCK. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday was extremely excited, and prices of American kinds were about Ad. to id. higher. The sales were 15,000 bales, 5,000 for speculation, and 2,0J0 for exportation—comprising 500 Pernam and Maran ham, 61d. to 7/d. ; 100 Bahia, 6id. to bid. ; 300 Egyptian, bid. to 74d. ; 1,000 Surat, 40. to 5/d. ; 100 Sea Islands, ls. to ls. 6d. per lb. The Rail way Share Market was quiet, and prices were a shade higher than on Friday. The state of the Liverpool Wool Market during the past month is thus described by Messrs. Abram Gartside and Co. :—" Throughout the past month the wool market has experienced a good and steady demand for all descriptions. Mediterranean and Oporto sorts are still in request, and have been sold at a slight advance. Entre Rios and Buenos Ayres have been much sought after, also East Indias, which are chiefly reserved for auction. Two or three cargoes of Iceland wool have changed hands at from 10d. to 104 d. per lb." The next public sales at Liverpool are fixed to commence on the 26th September, when about 7,000 East Indias and a quantity of other wools will be offered. The imports during the past mouth have been considerable, but the consump tion being groat, stocks continue light, with the exception of East India and Peruvian. English, Irish, and Scotch wools have met with a good de mand, at full prices. The weekly trade report from Paris mentions that the past week has been more favourable for the manufacturers, as numerous purchasers of winter goods begin to arrive, but their commissions are not heavy, in consequence of the continued dearness of all products. The provincial dealers also are cautious in - their orders, although their stocks are generally low ; but the facilities of com munication with the capital, which enable them to replenish easily at any time, causes them to purchase only sufficient for their immediate wants. Amongst foreign commissions are several for the Brazils and the South Seas. The retail trade of Paris continues to be quiet, and chiefly with foreigners. Sales of provincial merchandise have been con siderable, and the trade more active. The manu facturers at Rouen, Amiens, and Rheims having small stocks to dispose of, and the raw material in first hands being still high, they have obtained an advance on their prices. Not only is the rise in silk maintained, but it is probable that a further advance will shortly take place. The production of silk at Lyons has diminished about an eighth, while the consumption is increasing from day to day. The price of the raw material has risen within a short time from 80f. per kilogramme to 160 f., an increase of 100 per cent. Many large houses have made immense sums by speculating in this article. Later intelligence has been received from New York by the steamer Asia, but in a commercial point of view it is not generally of a very interest ing character. Money, however, was less plenti ful at the latest date, and it seemed generally anti cipated that an unfavourable change was about to take place in the rates of discount. The movement of the serial crops, which are reported to be most satisfactory, will alone absorb a large amount of floating capital ; and the usual extension of com mercial engagements towards the close of the year may, it is feared, assist in producing a degree of stringency which has not been experienced for many months past. The semi-official returns for the fiscal year to Ist July show that up to that period the exports from the United States, including specie, have rather exceeded the imports, notwithstanding the immense receipts of merchan dise at the port of New York. From the West India colonies the accounts gene rally represent trade as being steady, but not active. It is generally expected that the yield of sugar next year will be smaller than usual. Upwards of 700,0001. in specie have been re ceiyed to-day from the West Indies and the United States. This is a seasonable arrival, and will more than balance the amount that will probably be taken out by the next steamer to India and China. The new discount company, so long spoken of in City circles, has at length been formally announced. It is called the " London Discount Co.", with a Capital of 1,000,0001., and the directors are gentle men of the highest respectability. As there seems a fair prospect of the company doing well, and the shares are already at a premium, the applications for allotments will no doubt be very numerous. In consequence of the fineness of the weather, and the satisfactory accounts of the progress of the harvest, a decline in the price of English wheat of Cs. to Bs. per quarter was reported this morning. No change has taken place to-day in the general conlition of the English Stock Market, which re mains firm, without any extension of real or speculative business. The fall in the price of corn, and the circumstances which pro duced it, have a favourable effect on the market, but without occasioning any upward movement in the quotations. Consols have been 95 to 95/ for money, and 95± for account. The arrangements connected with the forthcoming settlement will soon begin to influence the market. At present the " contango" is per cent. The New Three per Cents. have been 95i to 96, and the Reduced 951 1. India Stock is 232. Exchequer 1.11 5 are nominally firm. There is again an absence of activity in the Foreign Market, which, however, continues to be well supported. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 103 k, and the 4 per Cents. 1031, being dull at previous quotations. Mexican are firmer, viz., 22k to 23i, owing to the receipt of $60,000 on account of the dividends. Spanish Threes are 45i, ditto Deferred 25i, and Sardinian 92. Brazilian Fives have been 103. The Ecuatorian Commission of Agency have this day received a further remittance of 6801. 11s. Gd. for the dividends of the foreign debts of the Republic. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7 ; Mexican, 22i ; Peruvian, 81 3 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 58 60 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 45i 6 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 108 10 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 98 100 ; Spa nish 3 per Cents., 44A 51 ; ditto Deferred, 25 1 ; ditto Certificates, 6 A ; ditto Passive, W I 7. The dividends on the shares of the Great Western and Midland Railway Companies are now in course of payment. There can be no doubt that as soon as the markets revive and business becomes brisk, a large available sum derived from these and other similar sources will be invested in speculative se curities. The movement in Railway Shares is rather irre gular, but the leading descriptions generally rule firm and the transactions are numerous. Caledonians it is expected have almost reached their lowest point, but they are at present heavy. N or th British, North-Western, and Great-Western are most in favour. The Foreign are dull, and Colo nial generally firmer. East Indian are steady. Rigas are 1 to n prem. Mining Sares are quiet. Banks are mostly heavy, and Ottoman Bank Shares are as low as 93 to 91. • Miscellaneous Shares generally command pre vious values. The Shares of the New Discount Company are to prem.

Independent of the sport, deep interest was wont to attach to the Warwick meeting. The " fixture" was formerly in the week preceding the great Doncaster event, and it used to afford an opportunity for making extensive movements and deoided demonstrations on the S'. Leger. Still, although this opportunity will be partly destroyed on the present occasion, because it is some what too early for certain operations, yet it will not be altogether neglected, and we may therefore expect that during the ensuing three days imprtant changes will be made in the St. Leger betting. A more attractive programme was never issued by Mr. Merry, and never was the promise of more interest. ing and ample apart ever presented at Warwick. Jo lging fre m the numerical strength of the entries large fields are likely to be brought out fur the principal events. There will certainiy.be mettle attractive enough fur professional book-makers, and the fine weather which has just set in again will doubtless induce the holiday folk of the locality to crowd to the course. Of gentlemen sportsmen there may be only a small attend ance, many of them being either in the north, roaming over moors, or trudg'ng over stubble with dog and pin I gun. : The country markets held on Saturday were very scantily supplied with wheat, in which only a limited business was transacted, and priori were rather in favour of buyers. Barley realised extreme rates, and all other articles except flour were firm. The Continental markers have ruled steady for wheat, but the business doing in that article has been very mode rate. The shipments of grain and flour from the United States continue on a liberal scale. tip to our markets last week the arrivals of English grain were limited in the extreme. From abroad we re ceived 23,382 quarters of wheat, 9,899 barley, 13,099 oats, 45 beans, 210 peas, 20 sacks and 9,899 barrels of flour. We had only a limited show of old English wheat in to day's market ; but the arrivals of new qualities fresh up, coastwise and by land carriage, were seasonably good. The condition of the new wheat was not to say first-rate, but, on the whole, it was sufficiently maul for millers' purposes. Both old and new sampl..•s met a dull sale, and prices gave way, compared with Monday last, Gs. to, in some instances, Bs. per quarter, and much difficulty was experienced iu effecting sales. We were well supplied with foreign wheat, especially with Baltic qualities. The trade was dull in the extreme, and, where sales wore forced, 2s to 3s per quarter less money was submitted to by the importers. There were very few inquiries for floating cargoes of grain. An additional day's racing has been provided at War wick, and the list contains a novel "feature," in the Benevolent Fund Stakes, a race promoted expressly to benefit the injured jockeys at Goodwood. The events appointed for decision require no elaborate discussion ; and, indeed, they might be dismissed in a very few lines. The influence which they are likely to exercise over future speculation will be very slight. Seven nominations are appende 1 to the Racing Stakes. The Abbot and Admiral of the White are, in my estimation, the most attractive names, and The Abbot may compel the Admiral to strike his colours. The few samples of English barley in the mat ket changed hands freely, at full quotations ; but foreign parcels were less active, on former terms. Malt moved off slowly, at last week's prices. There was a fair quantity of foreign oats on glow, and the oat trade ruled steady, at last week's quotations. Both beans and peas were in short supply, and fair re quest, at full prices, We had a dull sale for flour, and country marks were 2s. per sack cheaper. American flour was drooping in price. For the Shorts Handicap I shall trust my interest to a couple of " bad 'una"—Octavia and the Queen Mab mare, who have so much the best of the weights that they really ought to be "very near winniug." . _ Should the money be " on," I shall have no hesitation in allowing Quince to do battle for me for the Learning. ton Stakes. Imogene, however, has been much talked about ; if she retain her last year's form, and if she be meant, she will be a most formidable opponent. Tifton's success at Maidstone has caused attention to be directed to his chance. The horse is weighted favourably enough, but I have no expectations of seeing him follow up his success. Of the three-year-olds some expectation is entertained of Announcement. I shall take Quince and Imogene against the field ; and should auy "mistake" be wade with reference to the former, the mare will doubtless pull me through in triumph. The Castle Park Stakes will be won by either Gemma di Vergy or Sneeze. The entry for the Warwick Cup comprises some of our most eminent turf celebrities. Fa 4 ncying, however, that the field will be somewhat limited, I shall select Pretty Boy, despite the knocking about which he has lately experienced. The Avon Stakes seems on paper another "certainty" for Gemma di Vergy. For the Members' Plate my "fancy" is attracted by Romeo, Gaudy, and South Western. ; Melissa will win the wlarnwtilice6aiblisreenscetakofes.Fisherman The acceptances for the Benevolent Fund Stakes have to be declared this evening ; until they are known, therefore, it would be useless to endeavour to pick out the winner. For the County Plate I may be induced to stand Lord Alfred. There are, however, two bitter bad old 'uns turned loose, viz., Surgeon-General and Boer. Poodle and Brinklow are my selections for the Welter Cup. British Remedy and the Giselle filly shall represent my interest for the 501. Handicap Plate. The Two-year-old Handicap has twenty-five nomina tions, and is likely to bring out a numerically strong field. Tricolour and Cara Fatima may occupy the fore most places. The Town Plate seem likely to be carried off by either Lucy Lockit or Emulator. The Derby meeting will commence on Thursday with an average supply of sport. I will send my notes on the probabilities from Leamington on Wednesday. Sept. 1. A FRESH MAN.

MARLBOROUGH•STREET. THE EFFECTS OF THE BOTTLE.—Margaret Sullivan, a dissipated looking woman, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing 121bs. weight of beef, value 75., the property of James Baker, butchEr, No. 87, Berwick•street. The prosecutor stated that on Saturday night, about 9 o'clock, the prisoner went up to a board in front of the shop and deliberately took up the piece of beef now produced, put it underneath her shawl, and walked off with it. He followed her, and as soon as be taxed her with the theft, she dropped the 'neat on the pavement, and begged of him to let her go. He declined to do so. and gave her in charge. Martin, 30 C, said he received charge of the prisoner, who was the worse for liquor, and on the way to the station-house she said it was a bad job, but she did not care, as she should, no doubt, gat four years for it. The prisoner, in defence, said she was mad drunk at the time, and knew not what she was about. Mr. Bingham--I will reduce your own terms ;it shall not be four years, but I will lock you up for two months. Walter John Haye, clerk in the navy, and William, Carsdale, a clerk in the Inland Revenue, were charged with being drunk and disorderly. The charge having been proved, the defendants wero fined ss. each, which they at once paid. SHARE IAARKETS. .(TillS DAY.) RAILWAYS. ItAn.wers. Ciosinz Prices this day. bora, et, ~.~.r•~.... tmbg.

SOUTIIWARK. THE SWELL MOB AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE RAILWAY STATION.—AIfred Geeror, a fashionably dressed young fellow, with a long sandy-coloured beard, was brought before Mr. Combs, charged with being in the Crystal Palace booking office and Brighton Railway platform, London-bridge, for the purpose of committing a felony. Thomas Richards, a detective officer in the employ of the London, Brighton, and South-Coast Railway Com pany, stated that on Saturday morning the booking office of the Crystal Palace line was crowded to excess by persons about to 'proceed by railway, and witness re ceived information that several persons had been robbed of their watches and purses. Ho entered the booking office about two o'clock and saw the prisoner pushing; among the people in a very abrupt manner. He had a square paper parcel under his left ants about the size of an Atlas, and as soon as he saw witness he in to his way out of the place as quick as possible. About an hour afterwards witness wont on the platform to see the departure of the busy trains for Brighton, and then l.e heard that a lacy ha 1 lost her watch. On looking round he saw the pri soner again forcing his way among the passengers, when he went up to him and asked him what he was doing there. He replied at first that he was going by the train to Brighton, but when witness said he not believe him the prisoner said he lead been seeing a friend off. Knowing the prisoner to be an. associate with railway thieves, witness took him to the superintendent's office, when his parcel was opened and found t) contain an old piece of card hoard and a portion of a broken hat box. In fact, the parcel was made up for the purpose of faoi litating him in committing the robbery. Mr. Combo asked whether he nary the prisoner put his hand into any one's pocket 1 Richards replied that he did not, as he pnt the parcel in front to cover him while he did hie work. He, how ever, had no doubt that he way connected with the rob beries that had taken place, and if he was remanded he should be able to produce further evidence against him. James Winstauley, ticket-collector, said he saw the prisoner in the Booking-office on Saturday afternoon, and from what ho heard he gave information to last wit ness. In answer to the charge, tha prisoner said he had seen a friend off to Brighton, and. the reaon of his having such a parcel was that his fri end had taken his shirts from it and put them into his portmanteau, which he purchased near the railway station. He said he was a printer, and lived at 22, Fell ow•street North, Islington. Mr. Combo remanded hi: n until Saturday, to enable the police to make some inq' liries about him.

From Holstein we learn that a large portion of the cattle in that country has become info cted with disEnse. There was a full average supply of foreign stock in to day's market. Amongst it were 70 oxen from Oporto. From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of beasts fresh up to-day were considerably on the increase, and in somewhat improved condition. For all breeds we had, consequently, a heavy demand, at a decline in the curren cies realised on Monday last of 2d per 81131. The top figure for the best Scots was 4s 8d per 81bs. The recebts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, amounted to 2,300 short horns ; from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds ; from Ire land, 370 oxen ; and from Scotland, 50 Scots. The show of sheep was moderately good. On the whole, the mutton trade ruled steady, at prices equal to those realised onthis day se 'nnight. The best old Downs realised 51 2d per Sibs. The lamb trade is now drawing to a close, and lambs were mostly sold at about mutton prices. Calves—the supply of which was moderate—sold ►lowly, and prices gave way 2d per 81bs. There was a slight improvement in the pock trade, at full quotations. Per Bibs to sink tho offal s. d. 0. d. I o. ft. q 'l.

Since the close of the public sales—at which over 50,000 bales were disposed of—the amount of business doing in our market by private contract has been limited. Prices, however, are firmly supported.

Mr. Albert Smith took leavo of his audience on Saturday in the following speech : And now, ladies and gentlemen, as the monarch of mountains is unable to leave his throne of rocks at pre sent from the pressure of tourists and excursionist., I an, compelled to prorogue hie parliament, by deputy, myself ; and I will, therefore, according to established form, read tny speech, I hope "in that clear and die tinc'; vo:c," the reporters usually connect with that ceremony. . . My Ladieß, and G en tlemen,—The period having arrived Whet) 3ou require some relaxation from the in cessant labour and fatigue you must have undergone, during the past session, from hearing me tell the same long st.yry, over and over again, I feel a few words are due from me to you, not only respecting the present, but the future. I coLit;ithe to receive the most friendly assurances from foreign powers, on nay passport, of " permission to pass fieely, and aid and protection in case of need," of which I viu about immediately to avail myself, as I hope, for your future ammeinent. His Majesty the King of the flelgians has by his consulate riser placed Vie travellkg resources of his charming country at my disposal, in accordance with the treaty of fares laid down in the Continental Bradshaw. His Majesty the King of Prussia has thrown open the navigation of the Rhine to me, subject simply to an adherence to the tariff of prices be;,ween Cologne and Mayence, as issued by the K.Anische Geselleschaffe Company ; and our gallant ally the King of Sardinia has granted me porous ion to cross the Alps between Switzerland and Piedmont, by any pass between the Cul du Bon botanic ai.d the Simplon practicable fur troops—of tourists. The gambling tables at Baden will occupy my extreme attention ; and the still helpless and lamentable state of Brown, everywhere on the Continent, calls for the most earnest mea=ures to alleviate those miseries which cloud his tour, and turn his holiday into a prolonged excursion of imaginary extortion, self-created irritation, disap pointed anticipation and misunderstood behaviour. Ladies and Gentlemen of the Area and Gallery,—l have directed supplies of fresh seats to be laid under you before we next meet. Considering that the absolute comfort of the public is the very first thing that ought to be attended to in any resort intended for, and sup ported by them, without the compulsion of an extra payment—that the miserable system of ex torting every extractable sixpence from the audi ence, by the combined agencies of box-keepers, box book-keepers, bill-sellers, and saloon keepers (in whose toil our managers appear to he so hopelessly entangled), is a shame and a disgrace to our public places of amuse ment—considering this, I shall still endeavour to im prove your condition and prospects ; your condition, as far as your individual ease is concerned ; your prospects, as may relate to a clear, comfortable view of everything that is going on. _is heretofore, every reasonable com plaint or img.iestion will receive my best and readiest at• tention ; and as heretofore, the price of admission will include every possible auxiliary to comfort and accom modation that the room or the attendants can offer. My Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen,—Having had the honour of telling you the same story i❑ the same room 1,452 times, up to this evening, I will not venture to refer to it, for you must know it almost as well as I do. But you must permit me to add, that I now release you from your flattering attention until the middle of November, when I return from the continent. And, until that time, wishing you every possible enjoyment and happines9 that you most desire yourselves, I bid you, very respectfully, good bye.

THE BELGIAN TRANSATLANTIC MAIL STEAMERS. — SOUTHAMPTON, Aug. 30. The steam-ship Belgique, Capt. Tack, belonging to the Belgian Transatlantic Steam Navigation Company, sailed to-day for Antwerp. This steamer, it will be recollected, put back to South ampton from an attempted voyage to New York in January last, and has ever since been under repairs at this port. She is now pronounced to be in a sound and seaworthy condition. An examination into the state of the vessel proved her to be more extensively faulty than was even at first reported, the defect being in the pri mary construction of the ship. The repairs that have been effected here by Messrs. Summers and Day have been of the most extensive and costly nature. The caulking of the iron plates and the riveting had to be renewed almost throughout the entire ship. Two new pistons and cylinder covers, with new bilge pumps and pipes and a pumping engine, have been fitted to the ma chinery. A new three-bladed screw propeller, and stern pipe, with new screw shaft and couplings, have been adde 1. The boilers have been strengthened by addi tional stays. The iron lower masts of the ship have been lifted out and strengthened. The hull has been strength. ened by stringer plates, and many improvements made both in the ship and machinery under the superin tendence of Mr. Jobling, the surveyor of Lloyds at this port. At a trial trip in Stokes Bay, on Thursday last, the Belgique attained a speed of 10.192 knots, the en gines working with great smoothness and efficiency. We under-tand, alter her arrival in Antwerp, the Bel gique will be placed upon the Antwerp and New York route, to be followed by three or four other ships of a similar class—viz., of 2,250 tons burden, and 300 horse power. The whole of these steamers, immediately after the disasters which happened to the Belgique, were withdrawn from the proposed line, and were placed under a curse of repair similar to that adopted in the case of this steamer. It is proper to add that this large fleet of iron steamships were not of English build, but were constructed in Belgium and Holland ; and to this fact, and the presumed inexperience of the foreign builders in constructing large iron ocean steamships, the misfortunes of the company have been attributed by English professional engineers. Should the ships under their new conditions of efficiency prove successful in their passages, there is no doubt that a good traffic in passen ger' and freight will be secured at Antwerp, where the want of a direct communication between that part of the continent and the United States of America has long been felt. .„_ OPENING OF THE ADDERLEY-PIRK, NEAR BIRYINSILL i. —On Saturday the laud recently appropriated by Mr. Adderley, M.P., in the neighbourhood of Saltley, as a t , people's park," was, for the first time, thrown open for that purpose, when the occasion was celebrated by a dinner and other becoming festivities. At 1 o'clock the provisional committee of management assembled at the market-hall in Belmont-row, and, accompanied by some thousands of artisans, and headed by a band of music, proceeded to inaugurate the park. In the procession were Lord Lyttelton, Mr. Adderly, M.P. ; Mr. C. H. Bracebridge, Mr. Hodgson, the Mayor of Bir mingham, Mr. J. Walsh, numerous members of the corporation of the borough, the Coleshill troop of Yeo manry, of which Mr. Adderley is the captain, and a host of respectable gentlemen residing in the neigh b .urhood. The park, which is pleasantly situated con , tiguous to the Saltley Training College, and about two miles frorn the centre of Birmingham, was fitted up with capacious tents for dining, concert, dancing, &c. At the dinner Mr. Adderley, M.P., presided, having as his im mediate supporters the Hon. Misses Leigh, the Mayor of Birmingham, Lord Lyttelton, Mr. Bracebridge, Mr. J. W. Whateley, Mr. Wright, Mr. C. Ratcliffe, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Walsh, and other well-known friends of the working classes. Mr. Adderley explained that his sole object in giving the park was to bestow on the_work ing classes a healthy locality in which they and their families might enjoy the benefits of fresh air and exer cise. The affairs of the park, he observed, were now managed by a committee of operatives, but so soon as a sufficient number of subscribers was obtained to defray the small amount of annual expenses which would be necessarily incurred a committee am from ong the sub scribers would be appointed, and he would then con vey over the land in perpetuity upon a mere nominal rental. The hon. gentleman was loudly cheered in the course of his observations. After dinner the cricket ground, the dancing-tent, and the concert afforded ample amusement for the people, who enjoyed a very agreeable afternoon, the greatest decorum having prevailed throughout. 100 01 100 all all all all All . , all all ill 5 qll 18 96 ad 1301 643543 xd 107 6i 1044 5 x d 81i 2 li a d 523 40 3 393 40 3 82i li 171 589 id 94,E 231 3 al! al 10i 100 all 1)0 all all Ai ii 1111SCELLA.NEOUB. 2f 19 Australian A gricult. 26 27 26 .k.nstraln.

The Queen had placed at tho disposal of Prince Adalbert and the Infanta Donna Anialia a number of servants of her household, who are to accompany them in their journey through Spain and France to the frontiers of Bavaria. It was not yet known on what day the Govern ment would publish the measures or resolutions re lative to the Constitution and the convocation of the Cortes. The dismissal of M. Alvarez, Spanish Envoy at Mexico, continued to be the subject of many com ments. It appears that he did not strictly follow his instructions, which enjoined him to require the unconditional revocation of certain acts of the Mexican Government deemed by Spain to be dero gatory to her rights and dignity. The Government intends to create three consu lar offices—at Montevideo, Buenos Ayres, and Pa rana—instead of the Legation it now maintains in the Uruguay. The Gazette published Royal decrees appointing► 16 other Civil Governors. The provinces were tranquil. The Government in the meantime kept a watchful eye over the movements of the Carlists and revolutionists. It increased the army, organised the reserve, and took special pains to appoint proper Governors. The pay of the officers of the army had been aug mented. Captains are hereafter to receive 1,000 reals (10/.) monthly, lieutenants 700 reals, and en signs 500 reals. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY. JAMES SADLEIR. The police authorities have not yet, it seems, given up all hope of capturing the fugitive swind ler, and the idea still prevails that he is lurking in the shades of Coolnamuck. On Tuesday last the chase was renewed in that quarter by a party of 15 constables, but they were again at fault, and in the evening they returned to their quarters as well-informed of the object of their search as when they started on their morning excursion. lILLSII BANKS. A meeting of the shareholders of the Belfast Banking Company was held on Thursday, when the agreeable announcement was made that the dividend on the half-year's profit was at the rate of 12 per cent. per annum, and that the bonus of 2/. per share additional made the distribution to shareholders equal to 20 per cent. per annum. SERIOUS ACCIDENT. The morning papers give an account of a very serious accident which occurred on Thursday even• ing to Colonel Hamilton, the commanding officer of the 2d battalion of the Grenadier Guards, now stationed in Dublin. The gallant officer had mounted a spirited horse in one of the squares of the Royal Barracks, and was riding out at the ca valry gate when the animal took fright, and dash ing down the steep descent, rushed at full speed against the outer wall. His riderdid everything in his power to direct his course towards the stables, the avenue to which lies at the right angles to the route which the horse was pursuing, but in vain, and the latter ran his head against the wall with such violence as completely to destroy one eye, and, it is by some asserted, to dash out his own brains. Colonel Hamilton's arm, which ho instinctively raised to lessen the force of the stroke, received M.. yore injuries, and the gallant officer also suffered greatly from the horse having fallen upon him. The horse which was very valuable, after lying for some hours, expired in great agony. Colonel Hamil ton's medical attendants consider the results less serious than might have been expected. TILE CROPS IN %HZ SOUTH. The Cork ltxaminer of yesterday reports as fol- lows :-- " The past week has been on the whole extremely favourable to the ripening of the crops aid for harvest operations. Towards the west the corn has surpassed the expectations of the farmer, both in the weight of the crop and the early period of its maturity, while in the east of this county, in the neighbourhood of Fermoy and Youghal, and in a very considerable portion of the county of Water ford, we can state from personal observation that almost the entire crop (the exceptions being only a very few patches here and there) has been cut down and stacked. In that direction, more particularly close to the sea coast, the blight has increased in the potato crop, but the root itself has not sustained any great injury. In the west of this county, and in the county of Kerry, on the other hand, where the disease first made its appearance to any extent, the potatoes have recovered wonderfully, and are now a splendid crop. The turnip, too, which a month ago was considered to have almost completely failed, has improved vastly within that period, and now gives every promise of a fair crop. Farm labourers are receiTing excellent wages just now, ranging from 4s. to 7s. 6d. per day for reapers and mowers." THE COURT-MARTIAL AT NENAGH. The official finding of the court-martial was pro mulgated ou Friday, and is as follows : Four men sentenced by court-martial to trans portation for life commuted to 21 years, and two men sentenced to 21 years' transportation com muted to 14 years each ; two, sentenced to 12 years' transportation, commuted to four years' penal servitude. One of the prisoners tried was found " not guilty." The sentence of death passed upon Patrick Burns, North Tipperary Militia, by Judge Moore, at the last Nenagh Assizes, for the murder of a soldier of the 41st Regiment, has been commuted to transportation for life. The five men of the North Tipperary Militia who were sentenced at Nenagh Assizes to 15 years' transportation each have had their sentences commuted to ten yetea' penal servitude. GORDON CUMMING.-.TILE LION HUN TER'S ENTERTAINMENT. Albert Smith has discontinued ascending Mont Blanc ; Woodin has packed up his Carpet Bag ; Love has flitted to the provinces with his Lucubra tions ; and Miss Horton to the salubriousness of the saline breezes along the coast,—all, all the Entertainment givers are gone, like the rest of the world Neither professionally or pleasurably in. clined, " out of town," but the far-famed Lion Hunter, who still holds forth nightly to really crowded audiences at his Museum i n Piccadilly. Mr. Cumming has introduced a deal of fresh mat ter into his Entertainment, and li!sloits anecdotes and relations of his wondrous exp, r-breadth escapes, and astonishilingi.ppaodpvoetnamtuiree,sLaiomnso,nng ger Ele phants, Rhinoceroses, et hoc genus omne, are listened to eaoh night with amazing interest b y, his visitors, while the magnifi cent Hunting trophies surrounding the walls, a n d the beautiful Dieramio scenes that illustrat e th e Lion Hunter's narrative, are of themsel ves worth an e vening sinspection. We must not omit word about the music. The Lion Hunter's Po introduced by Mr. Harries Wilson, bids fair to b eco me most popular during the ensuing winter. FIRE AT PCKHAM. --- Yesterday afternoon, about •• quarteripast 5 o ' clock, a fire of a very f orm id a bl e c h a racter took place in the premises belonging to Mr. W. H. Burt, patent mackintosh maker and waterproof clothing fac tor, carrying on business at the Millbank work, on the banks of the Grand Surrey Canal, Peckham. The building, which wa s near l y 150 f t . l ong , was com posed principally of timber, and contained a large stock of inflammable matter. Owing to the combustible character of the stock the flames extended so rapidly that in less than t en minutes the whole building presente d an immense sheet of flame. The engines of the London Brigade, pari s h, an d West of England office, arrived in rapid su ccession, and by the aid of boats, the ho se of the en g i nes were con veyed over the canal, but the fire could not be extin gui,hed until the factory was nearly consumed. The loss is very considerable, and will fall on the Impetial Fire Office. The origin of the fire is also unknown. he r e. pry e f )n, ; ) f the the 20: 2 ' ;(14) 100 ICO 20 20 20 10 25 100, 100 100 100 20 20 50 100 50 100 100 100 100 4 all all 100 100 100 100 100 176 all all 1.00 100 too 110 100 16 1 It 100 FOB.: :ON. 41 # ICi i 9i 34 a 73 i 15,1 36i i 84} 21j 31 251 5 22i 11 i 1 5J 6 40f 9 3 i 23 40 5 St. 25 10 i 'a
