In Erie shares the sales were about 4,400, opening at 36, selling as low as 34, and closinc , at 341. The board of directors of the Erie Railroad Com pany hare decided upon an issue of new mortgage bonds, payable in equal instalments of one, two, three, - and four years, at 7 per cent. ; the proceeds to be applied to the liquidation of the income bonds due in February next. The panic in the Stock-market is making sad ravages in the quotations of the hoard. New York Central shares declined to 891 ; Cumberland Coal Company, 271 ; Canton Company, 211; Reliding Railroad advanced to 641 to 65. Money is easy on first class securities only; call loans have been made at 6 per cent. ; first class paper ranges from 9to 12 per cent. Foreign exchanges are firm, and bills on London are a shade higher. We quote—London, 1091 to 109/ ; Paris, 5.111 to 5.131 ; Amsterdam, 411 to 411 ; Hamburg, 36a to 37:4 ; Bre men, 781 to 79 ; Frankfort, 411 to 411 ; Antwerp, 5.121 to 5.15. Flour was ye'sterday in better request, at 121 c. to 25c. per barrel higher prices. The sales included 5,700 barrels, ordinary to choice State, at 8 dole. 371 c. to 9 dols. 621 c. ; mixed to fancy Western, at 9 dols. 60 e. to 10 dole. ; and other kinds at proportionate rates, with 2,200 barrels Southern, chiefly mixed to good, at 8 dole. 50e. to 9 dols. 50 barrels superfine rye flour, 8 dole. 121 c. to 8 dols. 25c. ; and 100 barrels Jersey corn meal, at 4 dols. 121 c. per barrel. Wheat was inactive, owing to the lack of prime lots ; sales transpired of a small parcel of Genesee white, at a price equivalent to 2 dols. 12c. ; 800 bushels red Southern, at 1 dol. 80c. to 1 dol. 85c. ; and 3,000 inferior ditto, at Idol. 65c. to 1 dol. 70c. There were 3 ; 000 bushels rye sold, to arrive, at private bargain.. State and West ern oats were in brisk request, at 53c. to 55c. per bush. Corn was also actively inquired for at better prices ; the sales reached 95,000 hu,hels at 810. to 83c. for un sound, 83c. to 85c. for Western mixed, and 81c. to BSc. for Southern yellow, per bushel. The cotton market was quiet and sales quito light, while quotations con tinued firm. We have no alteration to notice in rates of freight to Europe ; there is ve-y little offering at present. The following are the ruling rates :—To Liverpool : Cotton, square bales, per lb.ad. to 5-42 d. ; flour per barrel, 9d. to is. ; heavy goods per ton, 15s. ; grain, ship's bags, per'bushel, 2d. to 4d.

POLYGAMY AMONGST THE MORMONS.--A wife in Utah cannot live out half her days. In families where polygamy has not been introduced she suffers an agony of apprehen sion on the subject which can scarcely be conceived much more described. There is a sad, complaining, suffering look, obvious to the most ordinary observer, which tells the story, if there were no other evidence on the subject. In most cases it is producing premature old age, and some have al rea dy sun k into an ear ly grave under anintoler able weight of affliction. The man, from the moment he makes up his mind to bring one or more concubines irt o the family, becomes always neglectful o, and in most cases abusive to, his wife. In every instance where it has been introduced it has totally destroyed all Union of affection and interest previously existing. The wife has no further motive to labour and economise for the family, because she finds one or more intruders who hav e the right to share in the benefit of her exertions ; and the concubine, for a similar reason, feels no interest and makes no effort. The wife hates them for inter fering with her comforts and estranging the affections of her husband ; they, on the other hand, hate the wife and each other, and the children of each other. The husband hates the wife on whose affections he has trampled, and over whom he has tyrannised, and hates each concubine, of 'whom he tires when a fresh one is introduced ; and the children hate each other as cordially as a band of half-starved young wolves. It is hate, and strife, .a, r _l?cl wretched ness th roughout the whole family circle. - Y-ooate herself, in her deepest malignity, could not have de vised a more effectual scheme to destroy the happiness c f mankind. The husband, under the double influence of domestic discord and gross indulgence, loses his energy, bec omes di scouraged, sinks into the bloated, vulgar debauchee, and affords a capital illustration of the truth, that "Ourpl easant vices are made the whips to scourge us." In many families where are as yet no concubinens the wife is anxi ous to remove from this valley .aouf S h o ters from doi,' as well on her own account as to save her -dg be coming inmates of a priestly harem ; and, as she has in her power to obtain a divorce at any time, it may seem strange that she should remain the inmate f domestic hell. But a divorce would be of noo such a benefit to her. She would be compelled to Perform as she is powerless t from her children ; and, Practicall3eriarate an overland journey of over a thousand miles ° o brin g herself withi n th e protection of a civilised Government, she must of c ourse remain and seek a precarious liveli hood, under the discouraging pressure of church van- Utak 444 tielo/11477tf, THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1854;.

There was a decided increase in the supplies of new wheat on sale in the leading country markets held on Saturday. Tho trade ruled heavy, at from 4s to 8s less money. Old wheats were 4s to 5s lower. Barley and malt were offered on lower terms. Oats, beans, peas, and flour had a down ward tendency. The Continental markets have been in a very depressed state for all articles of grain, at drooping prices, although the supplies on offer have been very moderate. The latest adviees from New York state that flour had advanced Gd to is per barrel. Up to our market, last week, the receipts of English grain coastwise were very moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 10,921 quarters of wheat, 2,877 bar ley, 63,265 oats, 324 beans, 259 peas, 2 taros, 6,892 lia seed, 30 sundry seeds, 120 sacks and 48 barrels of flour. There was about 2,200 quarters of new English wheat on offer in to-day's market from Essex and Kent, but chiefly from the latter county. The general quality of the samples was unusually fine, and wu understand that as thrashing progresses the result of the now crop is unusually large. The continued tine weather for harvest work, and the thin attendance of large buyers, caused the demand to rule heavy, at a decline in the prices obtained on Monday last of from 5s to fully 6s per quarter. Old English wheats—the show of which was small—were very dull, and 3s to fully 4s per quarter lower than on this day sennight. BRITISH RAILWAYS. London N. West. L. &N. W. Calodon...

We wore Well supplied with each kind of foreign stock to-day. Generally speaking its quality was very inferior. The arrivals of boasts fresh up from ()tir own grazing dis tricts were considerably on the increase, but we observed a great falling off in their weight and condi Lion compared with many former corresponding periods of the year. The primest Scots were, therefore, in fair request, at full prices, viz , 4s 10d to 5s per 81bs, but all other breeds met a very dull sale, at a fall in the quotations obtained on Monday last of fully 2d per 81bs. The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to 2,500 short-horns ; from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 70 Scots. We were seasonably well supplied with sheep, the genet ral condition of which was by no means first-rate. Prime old Downs and the best half-breds sold somewhat steadily, at full quotations. All other breeds of sheep moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices. Prime lambs were scarce, and realised full currencies. Otherwise the lamb trade was dull, on former terms. Although the supply of calves was very moderate, the veal trade was in a depressed state, at barely stationary prices. We had a dull sale for pigs. In the quotations, how ever, we have no change to notice. The imports of foreign stock into London last week were . moderately good. Tho total supply amounted to 10,054 head.

PR( )13ABLE WINNERS FOR WARWICK, The 1. ist meeting of importance prior to the great ga thering at Doncaster will be celebrated to-morrow and WedneE :day at Warwick. This meeting is regarded with an . interest apart from that excited by its sport, for it of fords an opportunity for the mustering of , metro politan en d provincial speculators w h ose "movements relative f o the St. L eger are on these occasions wont to be mark e 3 by peculiar significance. Mr. It erry has compiled an attractive list of sport, and the t act and ability which he has displayed in ar ranging t; he various items will doubtless insure large fields. 11 se Leamington Stakes is the principal event set for decisie non the first day. The manner in which the handicap I has been constructed is not a little extraordi nary; if of vners of horses had chosen their own weights, it is doul -Ail whether they could have been accommo dated wit h lighter imposts. Mr. Merry is certainly a master of ' his craft, and has seemingly succeeded won derfully i; L pleasing all parties, From a handicap in which so many horses appear favourably weighted, it is not a I little perplexing to indicate a single animal worthy of undivided attention. The betting at present has afford eel no clue to "intentions," and the invest ments on the few horses which have been backed have not been remarkably heavy. Kingston heads the list of acceptant es, at Bst 101 h, but so unlucky is he invariably in handicap races that I shall no longer place faith in his pretei *ions. His stable companion, Indian 'Warrior, may, hoe ever, do battle for his party. The Warrior's impost is unquestionably lenient enough, and should my suppc sition be correct, I shall not, despite the many disappoin tinents which he has occasioned, deem his chance in significant. Adine, too, lam inclined to place " under suspicion." Experience proves that whenever " intend( id" Adine is a dangerous antagonist. Hunger ford's rut using at Liverpool was somewhat unaccountable. Still I at et little inclined to deem him capable of showing to advai s tage in this encounter, notwithstanding the favour.lblt consideration which he has received from the handicapper. Haco is the next animal in the list seem ingly 4 ( we ill in ;" his owner has scratched him in disgust from the, ( ;esarewitch, and may therefore be inclined to let him try his fortune at Warwick. I consider Haco a good, although not a first-class animal, and must ad vise my readers on every occasion where he is concerned to exer cue more than ordinary caution. He may not occasion any uneasiness, however, at present. Scam scrow, it is whisphered, has been sent to Warwick. He has been frequently set up to frighten the pigeons of the ring, and his appearance among the competitors may again occ anion some anxiety as to his owner's intentions respecting: him. Amalgamation has recently done sufficient work to render him somewhat stale ; still, in consia eration of his running at York, I shall not withe '.raw all confidence from. bins. Baalbec and Lur!, cy are, however, indisputably entitled to the prece.(3, ence over the light weights. The former in particuLir,.. I deem well worthy of confidence. His per formance ft e. the North and South Triennial Stakes at York prove d that he possesses racing merit certainly above medic lcrity. To Baalbec then I shall assign the first place. Lurley or Indian Warrior will, perhaps, be second. Sh, ould Adine start I shall reserve her for a " cock-boat.' For the Sh ort's Handicap, I am induced to select Lord Albonaa.rie and John o'Bruges. For the Castle Park Stakes, I shall expect the Polydora colt and Cossey to run first and second. Wheatear, Palnaeraton, and Flageolet f orm a " l ot " which I shall " stand on" at present for The Borough Handicap.. In the absence of Virago, I shall s e l ec t Hemit fn• the Warwick C up. Either Defiance or Aclizr.o may obtain second honours. Among the five nomi.natious for the Avon Stakes I see nothing- likely to take the shine out of Pole Star. Orestes, lanthe, and Mishrp may occupy the foremost places for the County Cup. The Welter Cup I scarcely feel inclined to dip into. With a clear field and no favour, Garforth, Hazlet) ut, and Gerard may show to advantage. Tit terstone, Wellsbourue, and Noisette are my " fancy" for the TG'wn Plate. September 4.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 2,000 American taken for export and on speculation. The market closed firmly at previous rates. The sales comprised 6,800 American, 350 Pernam and Maranham at 6d. to 70., 200 Egyptian at 6.1 d. to to lid., 100 Bahia at . 6gd. to 7d., 500 Surat at 3d. to 3d., and 60 Sea Island at is. to ls. Gd. per lb. Railway Shares were firm, at higher prices. The Arabia, from New York, brings advices of an unsettled stock market ; and, in particular, in railway securities, especially those recently con nected with the fraudulent omissions, a heavy decline had taken place. Money was in greater demand. There was a brisk inquiry for sterling exchange, just previously to the departure of the steamer. Bills on London were at 91 to 94 per cent. premium, and on Paris sf. 15c. to sf. 111 c. The last weekly return of the City banks showed a diminution in the item of loans of 554,954 dols., in deposits of 791,821 dols., and in the circulation of 61,654 dols., but the aggregate of specie was augmented by 731,949 dollars. Breadstuffs had an advancing tendency. Cotton was quiet, and coffee dearer. The prevalence of the drought has caused holders of tobacco to show considerable firmness. Absence of rain also was telling rather seriously upon the wheat crops, and this great staple would, it was supposed, be cut down to about half the average yield in some localities. We have by this opportunity later news from California. The crop of wheat had been harvested and the yield was very large. A great portion was being exported. Provisions were declining. The accounts are very meagre, and there is no intelli gence from the mines. From Antwerp and other Belemz markets the prices of wheat, rye, and oats, come in decline with a dull demand, but barley and buck wheat range higher. Potatoes were obtaining rising prices, and at Alest realised 94 francs the 100 kilogrammes, being an.advance of 11 francs. From the Hague it is stated that all the official investigations concerning the haavest having been completed, are now published by the Government. The results are in the highest degree satisfactory for the whole country, with a few rare exceptions, in which certain limited districts fall somewhat short of the general standard. The information and re turns thus made comp rise not only wheat, rye, oats, and other cereals, with potatoes, but flax, madder, and other products. With respect to wheat it is mentioned that there are places where the product is estimated at double that of last year. And in respect of potatoes it is gratifying to learn that notwithstand ing the progress of the disease externally, which had fur the most part spared the tubercules, and only attacked the stalks, the crops promise a larger yield than for many years. In the northern provinces the people were busily engaged in new railway projects ; and so also in other parts. The wheat trade was heavy to-day, at a decline in the prices obtained on Monday last of from 4s. to fully Cs. per quarter. All other articles were cheaper. Letters from Birmingham state that there have been symptoms of flatness in the iron trade during the past week, though there is no falling off in the consumption or demand. The fall in the prices of grain has been matter for much discussion, as its influence upon the cost of provisions may, should there be a lowering of wages, affect, to some extent, the value of manufactured goods, in the way of cheaper production. This could, however, only affect the prices of articles not in brisk demand, which might attract purchasers in such cases by their reduced rates of tariff value. The specie shipped by the Peninsular and Orien tal Steam Company's vessel Nubia amounted to 158,7711., of which 80,9491. were gold for Malta, Alexandria, and Hong Kong, and 77,8221. silver for Penang, Singapore, Hong Kong, Canton, and Shanghai. The first day of the week is by long prescription regarded as a half holiday on the Stock Exchange, as well as the last day, independent of seasons, although not altogether of an excited state of mar kets, arising out of political or other circumstances. To-day is not an exception, as was evidenced by the' paucity of dealers present, and the insignificance of the transactions. To the thin attendance may, perhaps, be attributed the decline of prices which has occurred in the Consol market. For money, Consols were done at the opening at 951, which was a full advance on the closing quotations of Saturday of per cent. ; but without even an intermediate or graduated stage of decline. They are now quoted only 95 to k for money, and 95h to for account. Exchequer Bills were, how ever, better, and currently bought at 3s. premium to 6s. Bank Stock, 209 to 211. India Stock, 2251.

Console 95 Ditto September Account 95 a ARRIVAL OF THE MUNOZ CHILDREN.-11111011g the passengers by the Peninsular mail steamer Madrid, which arrived at Southampton on Saturday night, were the sons and daughters of the Duke of Rianzares (Munoz) and Queen Christina, the Queen Mother of Spain. They embarked on board the Madrid at Lisbon incognito. The daughters aro three in number, and grown up ; the sons are two in number, arid are mere boys. They travelled as the children of a gentleman named Eugene de Ochoas, who was on board with them, and whom they addressed as papa. Several servants travelled with them. Eugene de Ochoas is believed to be an assumed name. He is understood to have been a Spanish journalist in the interest of Christina. The quality of the children was soon discovered on board the Madrid,, a passenger's servant having previously known them. One of the girls has the Bourbon features strongly marked, NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL. For the time of year, these markets are tolerably well supplied with each kind of meat.

No imports of foreign potatoes took place last week, but the arrivals of English continue large, and in excellent con dition. There is a steady business doing, as follows : Regents, 75s to 95s ; Shaws, 70s to 85s per ton. BORO UGH HOP. Two new pockets of hops have sold—one at 281, the other at 231 2s per cwt. Yearlings aro firm, owing to the un favourable accounts from the plantations, and the duty is called 55,0001, to 60,0001. Last week's imports of foreign hops were very extensive, viz., 167 bales from Rotterdam, 2 from Calais, 1,336 from Hamburg, 277 from Antwerp, 101 from Ostend, and 10 from Dunkirk. Mid and East Kent pockets, 121. 12s to 16/. ; Weald of Kent ditto, 11/. Os to 11/. 12s ; Sussex ditto, 11/. Os to 13/. 13s per cwt. WOOL. We have a good demand for all kinds of English wool, and in some instances prices have further advanced id per lb. In foreign and colonial wool very little is doing, on former terms. Last, week's imports were under 1,000 bales. Tho following are the current rates of English wool : Dovn tegs, is OAd to is lid; half-breds, 11 d to is 1.(1; ewes, clothing, lld to is 0 d ; Kent fleeces, is to is lid combing skins, lld to is ld ; flannel wool, lld to is id ; blanket wool, 81d to is Id ; and. Leicester fleeces, lid to is ld per lb. SEEDS. The supplies of new seeds on offer are on the increase. As yet, only a moderate business has been transacted in th e m. Old seeds are dull, and lower to purchase. There is less inquiry for cakes, the value of which has a down ward tendency. Turnip.

Aug. 31----Prom all parts YORESUIRIL—DONCASTE R , of Yorkshire we receive the most favourable accounts of the state of the grain corps and of the extreme fine ness of the weather for harvest operations. Reaping has now become 'general in all the three ridings, the crops having ripened rapidly within the last few days, and, if there is no check to the weather, an immense quantity of corn will be safely housed before the end of next week. The yield and quantity of the grain, more especially of wheat, are highly spokeu of on almost every hand, and there can be no doubt the present will prove one of the most prolific harvests on record. The supply of field labourers was a few days ago adequate to the demand, but hands are now very scarce, and wages are in some instances rising. Perhaps there never was a greater body of labourers in the harvest field at one time in this country than there is at the present mo ment, nearly every grower of grain having as full a staff at work as he can get. We hear only occasionally of the reaping machines being in operation, and the opinions expressed of their working ai e too few and meagre to form any conclusions thereupon. --Sheield Times. e a r rvestin this district is breadth to be gathered progressing ~ .

The sam e remar k app li es equa lly, or ne arly look u so, to oats, whic'a are fine and h eav y, a nd pleasing to pon. The barley crop is nearly all cut, and a great portion of it housed. The potato crop, we are sorry to say, from all we can gather, appears to have suffered more from blight in this district than in any other part of the kingdom. The green crops are looking well and are very heavy.— Carlisle Patriot. Buczcs.—We have had glorious weather during the week, and the harvest has progressed most satisfactorily. A large breadth of wheat and barley has been carried since our last. The crops throughout the whole of this locality are good. The potatoe disease has made its appearance on the haulm. We have not heard of the tubers being touched.— Bucks Herald. MELAYCHOLY LOSS OP LITE AT JERSEY. JERSEY, Sept. 2 .—Yesterday much painful sensation was produced in the island on its becoming known that two English gentlemen, excursionists, had lost their lives while bathing in the eta, under circumstances of a most distressing nature. The bodies of the unfortu nate deceased having been recovered shortly after the melancholy catastrophe took place, they were conveyed to the station-house, where a coroner's inquiry was held in the course of the evening, at which the following evi• donee was adduced : Mr. W. H. Norton stated he was brother of Mr. Robert Norton, one of the deceased parties, who was in business at 88, Strand, London. The day witness and the deceased arrived at Jersey by the Newhaven packet, and put up at the York Hotel. After taking their breakfast in the coffee-room, a gentleman proposed that they should have a bathe, and they assenting went to the sea-side at the back of the Fort, and immediately went into the water. They had not been in more than five or six minutes when he (witness) heard his bro ther crying out for help, and perceiving that he was struggling he swam towards him to render assistance. Upon arriving at the spot he called to his brother not to be alarmed, all was right, when the deceased clutched him and dragged him under. He quickly rose to the surface, and endeavoured to turn his brother on his back, when he again caught hold of witness and dragged him under. Having released himself from deceased's grasp, and finding that he himself was be coming very exhausted, he swam to shore, but he had no sooner reached land than be sank down from fatigue. Upon recovering himself he saw his brother sink, when he made signs to some bathers at a distance for help, but they did not appear to understand the signals, as none of them attempted to come to his aid. Mr. Custance, a gentleman who had accompanied them to the sea-side, then swam out to the place where his brother disappeared ; but, before reaching the spot, he became exhausted, and remained floating about. Wit ness again called out for assistance in vain, and, upo n looking towards the sea, found that Mr. Custance had also disappeared. Having procured a boat, he returned with assistance, and soon afterwards both bodies were recovered and brought ashore, but life was quite extinct. His brother, who was in his 21st year, was not a very good swimmer. After some further evidence, the coroner summed up, and the jut'y returned a verdict of " Accidental death."
