MONEY MARKET AND COM.Tilraai 1 - 1 INTELLIGENOY, ::Trr.'‘, Two n't,!7.(c, The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday continued verystody, although well supplied, and prices of all dr2scriptions were unchanged from those current nu Friday. The sales were estimated at B,OOJ hales, comprising 6,200 Americans (of which exporters took 500, and speculators took 4,000), 390 Pernam and Maranhani, 6 7 A. to 711 ; 400 Egyptian, 61d. to 91 ; 800 Surats, 44d. to ; (400 for export.), and 100 Sea Islands, 1111 to is. per lb. The Railway Share Market was quiet, without any variation of importance. Commercial advices from MoEcow 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. The 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, 13i to 171 roubles per pood ; ditto in grease, 8i to 9i 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, iu 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 been 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 sillog, 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 !co the extent of $ 3,841,312. The English stock market continues to be unfavour ably 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 continen t 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 latri of continuation. For money the prices have been 94i 5, and 941 ; for the 10th inst. they are 941 and for October 95 to 95k. The New Threes have been Exchequer Bills 13s. to 16s. prem., and the Bonds 14s. prem. Foreign Stocks are dull, and without much ebange in prices. The market, however, is flat. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 1.03ji, and the 4 per Cents. 1031. 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 141. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7± ; Mexican, 221 ; Peruvian, 80 2 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 58 9 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 45i Gi ; Russian 5 per Cents., 108 10 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 98 100 ; Spa nish 3 per Cents., 44i- 5/ ; ditto New Deferred, 25 ; ditto Certificates, 6 ; ditto Passive, q 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 1g premium. _ Railway Shares are weaker, but Mining and miscellaneous are dull at previous rates. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

The specie arrivals of the week have amounted to 1,150,000/. silver, but the whole will be absorbed by the Eastern and continental demand. Recent accounts from Nicolai( ff state that the prize money fur the captures at Sinope is being now divided among the persons who took part in that affair. A subscription for the purchase of the 100 guns of Alessandria bad been opened at Rome, notwithstanding the measures taken by the police to prevent it. Lord Broxfield, a Scotch judge, is reported to have sentenced a dog to be hanged along with his owner, a eheepstealer. ALAS FOR DIGNITY I—To avoid exciting the super stitious feelings of the sailors of the ship Minho, the late Earl of Shrewsbury's body was called a bcx of lemons when it was put on board that vessel. Letters from Bologna, of the Ist inst., state that the greatest part of the Austrian troops in garrison in that city have been encamped for some days in the neigitbour /Rood, at Tizzane, Pon.ecchio, and Sasso. The Austrians give out that it is for the purpose (,f exercising them and executing grand mancetivres in autumn. It has been to marked, however, that the arraneEments made by the mili tary commar der are those which usually precede the opening of a campaign. !' ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY. --The Royal Humane So ciety at thar last meeting awarded to Mr. John Milton, surgeon, of Castle-street, Folcon-quare, City, their hono >A y bonze and a vote of thanks inFcribed on parchment, for his successful exertions in pluneing in and re cuing a child from out of the Medway Canal, , r Gravesend, on the 9th ult., the child Laving fall la in white playing on the banks. MANCHESTER MECHANICS' INSTITUTION EXHIBITION. —A communication from the Secretary of the Man chester Mechanics' Institution informs us that, in con sequer ce of the inability of Lord Palmer-ton to be present, the inaugural meeting, which it was intended t h<ll 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 b2yend a very brief address from the president. GREECIL—The Corriere Italian(' of Vienna says : " Prince George Ypsilanti, nephew of the famous Greek Princes Alexander and Demetrius, arrived here on the let 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 he 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 TA.SSIANIA.—From Tts•nania We have no direct iLtelhgerce by these arrivals, but throu g h the Melbourne papers we are glad to learn that th e reported discovery of gold at Final is Fait' to to Confirmed, and that already a considerable body of diggers have commenced operations.

Great heaviness prevailed in tho 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. COURT OF BANKRUPTC Y. IN RE TEE ROYAL BRITISH BA/s To-day being appointed for hearing arguments on the petition for adjudication in bankruptcy in this case the c )urt was crowded by persons interested, , in the hope that his Honour would depart from the usual rule in this case, as the matter has been so publ Ft3ly and fully discussed elsewhere. They were, however, disappointed, as his Honour determined on hearing the c ase in private. Mr. Chidley appeared for the petitioning creditor, and argued in support of the petition, but after some time it was announced that his Honour had held that the peti tion could not be maintained, and it was consequently dismissed. The French markets have been rather drooping, and the supplies of produce have increased. Large 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, 19,116 oats, 10 beans, 450 peas, 3,575 seeds, 40 sacks, and 34,473 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 a;ain 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 6s. per quarter. The result was looked for with great an' iety by many, as it appeared that if the petition could not lie supported, there was little hope of bringing the c 2 we within the Winding•up Act; but much depends on the shareholders, who, according to the official return in the London Gazette of February last, amounted to 2 87, amongst whom are 14 widows, 24 maiden ladies, and 17 servants, on whom the loss will fall heavily. 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. The number of creditors are stated at ab taut 5,0001. Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little atten ion. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(T his Day.) There was a moderate demand for the best barley at last week's currency. Inferior kinds, however, were rather dull, and the turn in favour of buyers by is. to 2s. per quarter. SOUTH WARK. ATTEMPTED SIIICIDE.-Emily Davies, an elderly female, who bas been is custody more tha n a month for attempting to destroy herself by taking a quantity of laudanum, was brought up for further mil nination. The prisoner was seen by Thomas Curti I, 78 L, lying near Christchurch, in the Blackfriars-ro d, about two o'clock in the morning, in a state of inseniiibility, and, believing her to be drunk, he attempted to raise her up. She was, however, powerless, and on Min t y,- her up he saw fall from her an empty phial labe lied 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 animal ion was restored, and after remaining in the hos pital a week she was brought before Mr. Con ibe and charged with attempting to destroy him-- self. She refused to give any account of herself or rela tives, which induced his worship to remand her seven d times. Through a report of the circumstance appearin g in the newspapers, a letter was received from her rel a tives in the country, when it was ascertained that h er late husband had been under groom in a branch of tl le Royal family, and since then she had been living in diif ferent parts of the country, but was missed by he ,r friends about two years ago. One of her friends cam e forward and promised to take her back to the country, if she promised to remain there. Malt Was in moderate supply, and fair request at late rates. We were but moderately supplied with oats, in which a steady business was transacted, at late rates. Beans and peas—the supply of which were limited— were steady, at full prices. The flour trade ruled heavy, and the quotations were drooping. The show of American was extensive. Town made fell 60s. per 2801bs. The prisoner said she was extremely sorry for havin g attempted to commit such a rash act, and on her pro mising not to repeat it, she was discharged and up to her friends. SPORTING NOTES. MANY MATTERS. The two roost important sporting incidents of the past week were unquestionably the investigation into the Aladdin case, and the publication of the weights for tne Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire Stakes. They who attentively read the evi lence 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 unfcrtunate 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 ! 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 741. 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 most 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 de•kling 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 the reader, however, to reserve his operations until after the publication of the acceptances. I shall not at present hazard an opinion about the chances, as I have no pretensions to a knowledge of stable secrets or the intensions of owners of horses. A letter from Newmarket informs me of the death of Mr. John Bottom, who was wall known to a large ma jority of sporting men, and who was widely respected in the town of Newmarket. Mr. Bottom, of late years, kept the Jockey Club Rooms, and he discharged the duties 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 night was fully borne out, and it is said that the commit tee were not best pleased that Mr. Merry should reserve the most attractive " bill " for his benefit on Thursday. Isaac Day was in great force with his lot of horses, and I 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 withal. lam told, too, that he is a constant reader of The Sun, and at admirer of " The Fresh Mao," two very amiable traits in his character. I had some of his eham 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 blesdale's Greyling, and we trust that this wilbe only the forerunner of many triumphs on the turf. His lordship's horses will, I hope, soon sport his colours. William Day was, too, "as pleased as punch" by Lord Ribbles dale'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 lists have any very respectable names amongst the winners. What is Mr. E. R. Clark about with Mr. Sykes ! Why is be knockfng him about in so extraordinary a manner as we have seen of late ? In a word, what is his game I Ellington is spiritedly backed for the St. Leger, but his partisans bad better reserve their shouting until the race is over. The Wizard of the North is in earnest and means mischief, whilst an outsider 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- morrow, but its programme is not at all promising. Whichever Tom Taylor sends for the Staffordshire Stakes—Typee 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. Augury 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 be remarkably attractive. Either Caledonian or Emu lation ought to win the Tradesmen's Plate. Index is turned loose fer 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. 8. A FRESH MAN. Racing Fixtui SEPTE res for 1856.

EAST SUFFOLK 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 and 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 Lord Chancellor has presented the Rev. Henry Linton, M.A., of Magdalen College, Oxford, to the rectory of St. Peter Le Bailey, Oxford ; and the Rev. William Travers Sandy, M.A., of Pembroke College, Cambridge, to the rectory of Burton Coggles, Lincoln. shire The Bank of Prussia, which reduced its rate of Zis ccunt to 4 per cent. shortly after the termination of the war, has found it necessary to return to its former rate of 5 per cent. A rise of a half per cent. by the Bark of Be'gium was mentioned on Saturday, and it is evident that on the continent generally a considerable pressura f r money prevails, which has most Idtely been augmented by the active employment of gold in the purchase of silver THE AMERICAN MAILS.—LIVERPOOL, Saturday.—The I 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 hi-weekly mails for the United States and Canada ; 140 passengers, amongst whom were Major-General Trollope and suite, and a large and very valuable cargo of mer 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 26th, 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 j luruey from London to Edinburgh would Lavc occu pied as much tim i e. The Tama r was not due it' England before the 16th inst.; she accordingly reached )iorne 10 days before her time, an unprecedented event. She was built by White, Cowes. A new line of screw steamers 1 will commence running between Southampton and South America on the 23d, touching at Bahia and Rio de Janeiro only. LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS.

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 sone instances prices were 2,1 per Blbs higher than on Monday last. The best Scots rea lised 4s 101 per 81bs. The receipts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nor thamptonshire amounted to 2,203 short-horns ; from other parts of England 603 of various breeds ; and from Ireland 370 oxen. No fresh supplies of beasts from Scotland. We were but moderately supplied with sheep. Although the demand for most breeds was inactive, prices had, in 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 Blbs. There was a better demand for pigs, at fully last week's currency.

Several parcels of new hops have come to hand both from Sussex and Kent, and found buyers at from 95s to 130 s per cwt. The hops are coming uown well, and the duty is called 280,0001. Hops of last year's growth are very dull, and much lower prices must be submitted by the factors to effect sales. BOROUGH AND, SPITALFIELDS. Several very un f a vourable reports have come to h an d within the last few days in reference to the pot a toe crop. he markets, however , areextensively supplieed with pa htoes, in excellent ( )ndition, and the demand is inactive, at from 3/ 10 to 4/ 4s per ton. WOOL. There is very little doing either iu foreign or colonial wool. Prices, however, are well supported. English wools are very firm.

DARING GARROTTE ROBBERT.—John Garrett, 22, antl James Murphy, 24, a ticket-of-leave man, were brought before Mr. Beadon, charged with the following daring robbery. George Sapside . depoeed that he was a glass engraves•, 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 bad occasion to go into Barlow Mews fora 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 seizad hold of prosecUtor's gold watch-guard, and endeavoured to pull the watch from his pocket. Witness resisted a well as he could, and the guard broke from the watch. At that moment a constable came up and the prisoners ran off. They 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 groans 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-leave man, he having been transported five years ago for a burglary in Pimlico. The other prisoner bad also been convicted before.

COFFEE AS A DEODORISER.—Now that the sporting season has again come in, we beg to remind sportsmen and others that fresh-ground coffee is a perfect and safe deodoriser i • a sprinkling will keep game fresh and sweet for several days. Clean your game—that is, wipe off the blood—cover the wounded parts with absorbent pepper, wrap up the heads, and then sprinkle ground coffee over and amongst the feathers or fur, as the case may be; pack up carefully, and the game will be preserved fresh and sweet in the most unfavourable weather. Game sent open and loose cannot, of course, be treated of in this manner; but all game packed in boxes or hampers may be deodo rised as described. A tea-spoonful of coffee is enough for a brace of birds, and in this proportion fur more or for larger game. Fresh ground coffee may be used with advantage in a sick room ; a few spoonfuls spread and exposed on a plate ; burned by a red-hot iron it is a safe and pleasant fumigator.—The Builder. LONDON ANTIQUITIES IN BRITISH MUSEUM—Those who look in to teat`comparatively desert space in the British Museum, called the British and Med mval depart ment, will find that cne of the empty cases has been filled with a part ot the valuable collection of antiquities which have been chiefly gathered from the Thames and I London, after years of patient care, by Mr. C. Reach Saab,. The matters at present exposed to public view are but a tithe of the ancient remains of Old London, which have, by the efforts d the press, and the exertions of a number of individuals, become national property ; it is, however, pleasant to look over them. Tee speci mens of glass of various colours are well worthy of no tice ; the deep rich tints, of blue and purple, are particu larly itch. The castings of heads, of fine design, in deli. cately c Joured glass, have quite a gem-like appearance some of those 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 simi lar m at t ers , found ofl 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 who ohm to walk through Builder. 1 •~~ 84 1 ad 64i 4 id 106 1031 3 1051 6 79iit ad 57 xcl 100 x 1 Pm Pm ~--,.-.....'----n- ~. _ ~ ~ -- 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 Great Western Company states that the directors propose to declare a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent., leaving a surplus of 3,960/. to be carried forward. The branch line 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 pany have adopted the report, and approved the dividend of per cent. per annum. The under taking shows a gradual improvement, mainly attri buted to the result cf 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 Hobaon'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 wore authorised to oppose all bills in Par liament considered prjudicial. The report of the Edinburgh and Glasgow CJinpany hai been agreed to, and the dividends declared at the rate of 2 per cent. on the consolidated stock, and 5 per cent. on the preference shares. Owing to increased expen diture and 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 6s. 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 explainedis 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 5/. 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 G per cent., the 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 South Devon and Tavistock Railway and the Lee Moor branch were carried, the directors being alaoauthorised to raise 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 contracts for the construction of the line. Accord ing to the report of the Fleetwood, Preston, and West Riding Junction Company, tho 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 8 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 anal Clyde Junction having been opened, passengers are taken through from Glasgow to Stirling, 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 discouraging. 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 2/. 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 21 ; per cent. At the North-Western meeting it was explained that the balance of reveLue 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 1 per cent. on the guaranteed stock, and the report, after some discussion with regard to the accounts, was carried. The available balance 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 PBEACIfING AT BETHNAL- GREEN. Sir Benjamin Hall's prohibition against preaching in Victoria-park on Sundays bad the effect yesterday of keeping out the clergymen and dissenting ministers who bad made 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 the park, the clergyman whose turn it was to take the duty had his pulpit erected without the boundaries of the park, and about a hundred yards from its principal entrance. The service, according to announcement, commenced at half pa three o'clock, at which time the Rev. W. D. Long, M.A , 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 be 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 Commissioner of Works only applied to the park, and he had ascertained that there were no impediments to a service being conducted in Bishop &neer', -fields. As a clergyman of the Church had ßeth b n e a e l- n gre r e e n a — di to ly of England he had asked the permission of the locum. bentof preac the re sdiastnrdictzaStt. c:l:noshenn'ts, h the granted. After these pre:itninary remarks the rev. gen tleman selected for his text the 21st verse of the Ist chap ter of Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins." Upon this passage of Scripture . Mr. n Long preach e d i n a very fervid man ner, to upwards of two thousand per sons, all of whom appeared to listen to Lim with re• spectful attention. Very decorous conduct was ob served t h r oughout the whole of the pro cee di ngs. At st. John's Church, the incumbent of which had given 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'; fields are to he continued, several of the most eminent clergymen and dissenting ministers in London having volunteered their services. It is currently rumoured, but we du net vouch for the corr.ctuetir, of the report, that the Right Hoy. 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 particular post at the present mo• meet,—Mancicuter Guardian. 1100 R2e.l 1100 3i 100 100 51 2 9 8i 523 403 80A i 50 1 361 it 20k 31 5 20} i
