MONEY MARK E AND COMMEBCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO o'C LOCK. The exports of silver from London direct, during the week ending Thursday last, amounted to 202,409 ounces, mostly to Rotterdam and Belgium. Gold coin was shipped, to the extent of 5,8001., to Constantinople, and 620 ounces to Hamburg. The return of the Bank of England for the week to the sth inst. would favour the presumption that money was still in request up to that date, the de posits showing a reduction and the discounts still a slight increase. The bullion also was lessened. An item which there is a difficulty in explaining is that of Government Securities where the large de crease may have resulted either from sales, or from the repayment of advances made upon deficiency bills. Compared with the previous week, the changes were as follows : Active circulation.. Decrease 212,255 Bullion 13,299,510 Decrease 184,814 Rest Increase Public Deposits 2,347.590 Increase Other Deposits Decrease.

The bar silver, ex. Tamar, has been. sold at ss. lid. per ounce. The following highly satisfactory intelligence has been received by the Australian Mining Com pany : Extract from, Mr. Forster's letter, dated Tunijkillo, 19A May, 1854. " I am happy to inform you that, since the date of My last letter, we have completed our run of Flat rods, and have had the water out of both Masterman's (as far as the bottom of the 10 fathom level), and Anstey's shafts. We have changed all the clacks, and made the pitwork all right ; so that now we can work off at any time. I was most anxious until we had got the lifts secure, as from the long time they have been standing idle, I was afraid that some of the clacks might be out of order, so as to have endangered their safety ; how ever, all has gone well with us. We are now busy day and night securing Masterman's shaft where necessary, between the adit and 10 fathom level, (or 50). There is not near so much repairs required as I bad anticipated, so that in a Clay or two we shall be ready to continue on our main re.d to the lower lift ; and if nothing unfore seen occurs, on the Ist of next month our survey day, I hope to set the bottom to sink. As we only forked the water down so as to change clacks, I am unable to give you any opinion as to the appearances of the mine in the lower workings ; but by the end of the month every thing will be clear, when Captain Remfrey and I will have an inspection, and I will get him to report spe cially on the Aeneral appearances and prospects of the mine, as this is the lowest depth. I have got my full compliment of enginemen, and I have just sufficient miners for the sinking; so that until I get more hands I must stop all other work—but this will not be long, as at most I am certain of more men in the course of a month's time. "NEW DISCOVERY.—i have been obliged since my last letter, to take the men out of this end, to assist in Masterman's shaft, so that I have nothing new to report thereon, beyond the ground being more favourable for driving. " DOWNE'S MINE.—We have broke ground for our new shaft, and have taken the liberty of calling it after Mr. Davis ; the timber is all ready, and our smiths' shop and change house is all but finished, so that we can, at any time we have the men, make a start, and I shall lie much deceived if a good lode is not cut in this part of your property. "FURNACE.—Having now completed our rods, this work becomes of the greatest importance, so that no opportunity will be lost in commencing with it, and I hope by next mail to say that its erection is in progress ; in the meantime, I intend putting some bags on the floors, preparing the halvans for smelting, and picking .over the old heaps, which contain, one and all, copse derable quantities of good ore. Within these last few days we . have brought out of the mine some first quality ore, taken. from an old 'stall' at the south end of Masterman's shaft, and which was necessary to be cleared out so as to retimber the ground. I fully believe, and in fact, the men who have worked in the mine since its commencement, tell me, that there are tons and tons of rich ore bunged up in the old stalls,' all of which, in my opinion, even at the present rate of wages, will pay for tapping and wheeling out ; and I have little doubt but shortly some of them will be taken to pick over, at a moderate tribute. Daily I can see more and more places in the mine where we shall be able by-and-bye to set pitches. 'o3r mine, and the locality generally ; is beginning to have more ;ife. We have a schoolmaster coming up, who is also a Baptist mimister, so that we shall have service on the Sabbath ; and for such services I have agreed, on behalf of the cJinpany, to allow him the sum of 501. per annum, an allowance which I hope will meet with the sanction of the board—indirectly the company will be gainers, as it is an additional inducement to men to reside at a place where they can attend a place of worship. "We bid at the last land sale but one, for four sec tions of 80 acres each, on behalf of the company, one of which we purchased. The directors are aware of the de sirability of purchasing three or four out-sections in the Hundred of Tungkillo, so that the commonage due the survey might he made available, by having loca ides cen trally situated, on which out-stations could be formed. As the boundaries of the Hundred now stand, the large extent of commonage due toyour special survey is unavailable, and which c.rcurnstances, materially diminishes the rental you others ice receive. With a view therefore of making the most of the privileges conferred by the system of hundreds, Mr. S. Davenport and I, considered that as the land had been surveyed and put up for sale, we should be neglecting the interests of the company if we did not endeavour to purchase—the result being as before stated —the purchase of one section well situated, so as to command the best part of the commonage, at a price of 1981. "If the Eolrd do not cor alder this purchase as of any advantage, they can at any time recover their money, with good interest. "To make available all the commonage, it would re quire at least three more sections, the purchase of which would make your special survey a first-rate run, and indirectly return good interest for the outlay. " ORE.—I have arranged for the shipment of one small parcel of ore, together with the specimens of quarts, &c., by the Charlotte Jane, at the rate of two pounds (21.) per ton of 21 cwt., expected to sail in the course of a month. The ore consists of 1'25 bags, marked AMC Tungkillo, weighing about 5. tons ; and the specimens, of 17 bags, marked AMC*, weighing 7 cwt., 3 qrs., 14 lb. ; the produce of the ore will be about 24 per cent., so that you can caculate its value so as to insure'?

It appeare d f rom the statement of the master of the National School, that he was sitting at his desk during the heavy storm, when suddenly the room appeared tilled with f lame The next instant he saw several of his scholars struggling on the floor. Three were picked up quite dead, and removed to a chapel opposite, while many of injured were taken to their residences. Two poor little fellows were scorched, and nearly insensible. The schoolroom, a neat Gothic structure, with thatched or reeded roof, was found to be on fire, the lightning having struck near the chimney, and speedily ignited the roof. The entire building is destroyed. The whole affair has created a most painful sensation in the neighbourhood. ACCIDENT TO THE NEW SCREW STEAM SHIP CITY OF PHI LADELPHIA.—This fine new screw ateatn.ship, built at Glasgow to replace the unfortunate City of Glasgow on the Philadelphia line, sailed from (firer Hock at three a.m. on Thursday for Liverpool, but was seen at two P-m. off Fort Patrick, returning to Glasgow under canvas, owing to a slight derangement to her machinery from the heating of the orauk-ohaft. The delay will not exceed a few days. MAKING A DAY OF IT. BY ELIZA COOK. One June morning last summer we took it into our head to run a few miles out towards the west of Loa doe, arel•shake hands once again with the kind and worthy Mrs. Andrews, who is the proprietress of an ex tensive market-garden, and who, a couple of years since, accepted us as a favoured lodger under her hospitable roof. We were never so comfortable in lodgings as we were at 'Western Grange. We met with the desired tem porary home through mere accident, and was smitten by it at first sight. Fine ladies and gentlemen might prce bably look askance at the old-fashioned gables, warped timbers, picturesque barns, and slightly deformed " lean-to's,' which met the eye as we approached the residence by the way of a grass grown bit of lane. On nearer inspection the low ceilings and easement windows might be objected to ; and those who desired Brussels carpets, candelabras, and marble wash-stands, might feel themselves "taken in, and resent the disappointment accordingly ; but we, in pursuit of retirement, comfort, and homeliness, and being accustomed in our early read ing of the Book of Life, to peruse the edition without illustrations by " Chalons,"took an immensf fancy to the "snuggery" of a sitting-room, and thought the antique walnut-tree sideboard, with sofa and chairs to match, the cheerful red drugget, the bunches of lavender and preserved grasses in ancient vases, the huge punchbowls and Noah's-ark sort of corner cupboard, very pleasant and endurable sort of things to associate with. Th en the bedroom smelt so fresh and sweet, with its curtains and counterpane of Mont Blanc whiteness. We liked the quaint chest of drawers, grandfather-looking arm chairs, and open window ; through which the rich green ivy thrust itself and intruded on the toilet cover, where it laid in gl issy luxuriance, like a casket of scattered emeralds. Supposing we did put up with a washing trough in lieu of a bath, and admitting that ring stands, scent-bottles, and pornatuni-glasses might be wanting, nevertheless we contrived to be satisfied, and held the simple dormitory in veneration and esteem. Then the wide front door was always open, and it had hops and woodbine about it; and out of that door we stepped over a yard or two of gravel path on to a grassplot, and round about the grassplot there were multifarious beds of " painted ladies," hen and chicken daisies, double rockets, brazen marygolds, modest moss-roses, florid sweet williams, and a dazzling kal e id escope of June flowers. There might be a gap or two in the box-edg ing, and a bit of vulgar dock might be seen pushing it self between the pink larkspur.; ; perhaps an unknown weed dared to jostle the well known prince's feathers, and au audacious old hen might be sometimes seen scratching a bed for herself in the very heart of the Torn Thumb geraniums ; but the blossoms were very lovely for all that, and we gave up a Chiswick show to stay among them. Then there was an arbour—such an arbour —all fir-trees and ivy, with a queer seat and a queerer table, made of wooden knees and elbows, all crinkem crankem—neither figure nor fashion about them, but still very cosey and romantic. A heavy shower cer tainly dripped through, and a spider or caterpillar occAsionally looked in upon the inhabiting party ; but accustomed as we were to the hydropathic system, and having often been on familiar terms with " jolly great what-do-you-call-ems," we managed to indite many a line of dreamy nonsense in this sequestered nook, and even entertained a notion that it was far preferable to the Cockney and formal erections, which by rural cour tesy we are compelled to recognise as " bowers" and " summer-houses." Then there came endless files of apple, plum, cherry, and pear trees ; whole regiments of gooseberry and currant bushes ; a perfect prairie of strawberries ; with wide lands of beans, peas, cabbages, and the whole essentials of Covent-garden vegetation. We admired even the crazy old shed in the distar.ce, where the sieves were Ricked, and the ploughs and rollers housed. We thought the moss-mantled water cask, standing at its corner, a very poetic object, espe cially as " Dumpling" stood drinking his fill at it when he returned from market. He was a dear, old, fusby sort of a quadruped, looking like a magnified Shetland pony, arid suggested the notion as he stood of being merely an additional tub. We should not have quar relled even with what Cowper delicately denominates "the stercoraceous heap," had it not been that dead cabbage-leaves often emitted an odour which rendered the windward side of the said heap desirable. Altogether Western Grange suited our primitive taste ' • and when we add that Mrs. Andrews was a well-bred and intelli gent woman, although sbe kept a market garden ; that she had an amiable daughter and industrious son ; that , they all understood " Shakspere and the musical-glasses," , as well as the rearing of potatoes; and that we were al- . most spoiled by their united kind attention, our readers will not be astonished that we frequently conceive the , wish to renew the acquaintance, and have another peep at Western Grange. . . _ _ The visit we have alluded to was made in the height of the strawberry season. The day was hot. Watering pots were pleasant things to see lying about, and the shadow of a tree was an umbrageous blessing. - Both windows of railway carriages were permitted to be open without any mention of "a draught ;" and everybody who dared to appear in the undress of "shirt sleeves" did so with grateful freedom. We picked a quarrel with our breakfast, abused the soft butter, and treated the rasher of bacon with appetiteless indifference,—we fear our state of temper was getting as sultry as the weather, when we suddenly bethought of a run down to our olden haunt. We effected the transit in double quick time, and found ourselves up to our eyes in straw berries by noon. We must now inform our readers that among the regular " attackees" of Mrs. Andrews's out-door esta blishment were six women, known as Polly, Hetty, Selina, Peggy, Martha, and Racbel,—and two men, Dick, the carter and ploughman, and Harry, odd in general. At some busy periods the close labour of these individuals was of vital importance. A fair share of idleness was tolerated at leisure intervals, fur IVlrs. Andrews is by no means a slave-driver, and allows a degree of Christian charity to exert itself toward "all that are within her gates." We had become tolerably well acquainted with these "helps," and found them, on the whole, to be decently conducted persons. Perhaps Hetty, Martha, and Rachel might not have gained the approbation of Mrs. Hannah More, touching their minute system of morals and manners. But Poly, Selina, and Peggy were considered to be very respectable. The last mentioned was a demur, meek, shy-looking young woman, who always answered a ques tion as though her tongue was made of white satin, and the use of language would soil it. Polly was more come-at-able, and had a dissipated husband and three children to manage ; and Selina was considered to be o girls in the neigh bourhood.rneoftile and was supposed to be saving . dand behaved 1) D r e i t c t e s v‘ t • a a s n e l v n e o r known (f i r ; o r tt u w w d n n e to e n y t c o m Hart a r y • n w e a x s en s o s t " a perfect Joseph," but he worked bar well to his employers, which is more than we can say of many prime ministers who serve a nation. It so happened that the day of our visit preceded that of the annual provincial races, which took place at a little distance, and orders had been given by various parties for a large quantity of strawberries to be deli vered as soon as possible. Mrs. Andrews was anxious that the fruit should be got ready promptly, and in nice condition ; and all hands were set to work at twelve o'clock to pick, sort, " top up," and pack. We stood among the strawberries, watching the labour with in terest, and learning something of the business ; wheu the benevolence of one of our party suggested that a trifle to each of the handmaidens of the vineyard would not be ill bestowed. A small sum was accordingly dis tributed, and we returned to the house to partake of luncheon. After an hour or two's gossip, we strolled towards the field of pottles again, in company with Mrs. Andrews and her son and daughter. "Where are all the women ?" exclaimed Frank An drews ; " there has't been a strawberry picked since we left. What are they after ?" Sure enough not the trace of a woman or man either was to be seen, and great wonder existed as to what had become of them at such a time of necessity. Wo stood some time in speculating perplexity, when, suddenly, at the gate close by us, le ding i n t o th e v ill age, t h ere ap peared th e f orm of Peggy, who opened the said gate with a most unmistakeable air of energetic independence, sluaimtemuinngneictebseshary to indhe e r ff w ec it t h th a a v t io p l u e rp nt o fl s o e u . oNofwst, re rentl y i, ci always prid e d h erse lf on her extreme quietness 'a'nd modesty of demeanour and conduct, arid, strange.to say, her attire was now as much out of order as her manners She approached with a swinging walk, and it might be observed that the handkerchief which usually wrapped her neck and shoulders in a very Quaker-like style, was extremely derive. Her bonnet was worn in the mathe matical fashion known as " nine bob square." Her apron had dropped much lower than its wont, and her gown was tucked much higher. Her hair, generally arranged " a la Madonna," was now "d la anyhow." Her face was singularly rich in complexion, and her eyes stood out in very bold relief, considering their character for down-cast diffidence. " Well, Peggy," said Mrs. Andrews, as the lady named nigh, " what is the meaning of this ? Why are you not at work ? You know the fruit must be sent to night," Can't help it, marm," replied Peggy in a remark ably free and easy tone of volubility : " there's a new beer-shop opened down the way, and the landlord's treated us to some gin and fourpenny,' and the butcher's give us some cider, and we've all got a bit of money in our pockets, and Dick and Harry's with us, and we want a julldeation, so we just moan to make a day of it." " And pray what is to be done about the straw berries ?" said Frank. "Can't help it, sir. We've made up our minds, and wo mean to make a day of it. I thought I'd just come and tell yen that we was at the Red Lion," and here Peggy made a rash attempt to adjust her bonnet, which added the tenth bob to its Elucidian arrangement. "Can't help it, mann," repeated she with forcible intonation ; "I must go now, please. We're all at the Red Lion, and we mean to make a day of it. Good morning, marm, and here Peggy essayed a parting courtesy, which resolved itself into something between a stumble and a slide, as she turned round on her way to the To reason with a woman in such a decided state of opinion would have been useless, but no slight conster nation was excited by the sudden revolt. Frank in dulged in a few anathemas against beer-shops in.gener a l, and the Red Lion in particula r . Th ere was no help in the dilemma. To get fresh hands at such a busy junc ture was impossible, and the consequences were, that Mrs. Andrews lost a considerable sum of money, and incurred a slur on her reputation for obliging punctuality. It turned out showery in the evening, and we grate fully accepted the offer of a bed. Th e f o ll ow i ng morning some interested anxiety was felt as to the results of the preceding day's dissipation, and the facts elicited by degrees afforded the following amount of intelligence. Gin, ale, cider, and that class of beverage had kept the ladies and gentlemen occupied and excited until sunset, when Peggy, whose excessive modesty appeared to have taken a holiday, called for another pint of " the best," in order that she might "treat" Tom Clamp, the black smith, before they parted. At this moment an itinerant organ-boy struck up a polka, and Peggy and Tom Clamp began to perform rotary motions with dangerous velo city. Peggy, mistaking somethine - for nothing, unfor tunately fed headlong-, and in the ?all contrived to break her leg. This sail accident put a speedy end to the carousal. Polly managed to sneak home by help of the park wall, but unfortunately her brutal husband was there before her, and as we seldom forgive the faults in others which we have a tendency to in ourselves, he grew savagely violent in seeing her state of bewilder ment, and a "civil" war ensued, which terminated in poor Polly's having a black eye and sprained wrist. Hetty lost a half-sovereign out of her pocket, which she had been six months in saving. Rachel got the tooth of a comb driven into her head by some unknown agency. Selina had so far forgotten herself during the " jollifica tion" as to call Dick, who was entertaining serious matrimonial designs towards her, by the contemptuous appellation of " a long-faced snivel-breeches," which epithet he remembered, and resented by the sober re nunciation of his tender vows. Martha, a bit of a virago at the best, had got extatically pugnacious, broke two panes of glass in a struggle with the landlord, who ob jected to her attempting an Irish jig in a basket of pipes, and then pummelled and punched Harry for some im pertinent allusion, until he turned in self-defence, and held the butcher's tray up as a shield, whereby Hetty got a severe bruise on her arm, and the skin off her knuckles, not to mention a gown torn beyond redemp tion. Dick and Harry laid all the blame on the women, with true Adam-like courage, although it was fully proved that Dick had been the first to mention the capital ale at the new Red Lion, and invited Selina to go and have a "sup" with her dinner, which innocent invitation led into all the mischief. Some time after we paid another visitto the "Grange," and was sorry to find that Polly's leg will never be as useful as nature intended it to be, and that Dick and Selina had been " huffish" for upwards of three months to the great secret distress of both parties. We ascer tamed, however, that the punishment and repentance attending the " making a day of it" have had a lasting effect, and that each of the parties honestly avows that the consequences served them right, for they had been "great fools"—a just conclusion, which many gentlemen who are given to " make a night of it" would do well to as readily act upon. We hope to see Dick and Selina married before the autumn, but the insult passed upon him still rankles, we find, for we accidentally overheard him say to her very lately— " Mind, Sleener, if ever you call me a long-faced snivel-breeches when we're married, I'll go to Ilostra,- liyer." Lor, Dick, it was only a slip of the tongue" replied "Sleener." " You was as big a fool as any of us, and we shall be happy enough if we don't go making days of it." Selina is quite right, and we earnestly hope that the myriads of Pollys and Harrys and Peggys will adopt her opinion, and be cautious how they patronise new or old Red Lions and " make a day of it." `MP, SUN, LONDON, SATUADAY EVENING, AUGrig l 4 l9, 18114. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,--I pray you will pardon my referring to my let ter of the 11th April last, in which I addressed to you, as an old soldier, having served under Napoleon, the first relating to the supplying the soldier with a proper cover of cautchouc cloth, which would keep his body, his arms, and ammunition dry, even if he were exposed to the heaviest rain fur a week, and which would be of a weight he could carry without inconvenience. Being an old experienced soldier, my anxiety for my brother soldiers will be well understoOd by you. I take permission to repeat what I formerly urged upon the public through your columns, and I trust you will not consider that I trespass unfairly upon your valu able time and space. My intention is to effect a most important object, viz., to save the lives and the health of many thousand soldiers in the East, and of many hundred horses also—not to mention that thus taking care of their health will be greatly adding to their effi ciency. All military men who have been on active service know well that when a soldier has his clothes wet, and that lie is often in such a state obliged to march, to fight, and even to lie down, that he ilt not only unable to render effective service, but that such wet clothes dispose the body to receive the cholera, diarrhoea, and other diseases, and thus is the great cause of the mor tality among tro2ps—far great er th an th e sword. In the case of The horse soldier, nothing short of actual service can convey to us what the poor man has to suffer in rainy weather. Wet through, even his boots full of water; and, when arriving at his station for the night, he must forget or neglect himself and think of his horse which carried not only him but also the wet and heavy baggage,. and upon whose strength his own life depended. There is, as I have already mentioned to you, a remedy for these evils ; that remedy is to provide the soldier with a sheet of disinfected caoutchouc, such as I have seen, pure and as free from anything offensive as linen, so as not to cause neuralgy. Caoutchouc in the state it is used endangers health.—l have the honour to be, sir, your most obed. servt., AN OLD SOLDIER, Who served his country with the most brave the Marshal St. Arnaud.

London. onf.r TURKISH LO AN.—The notice regardi ng this loan is ex pected to appear on Monday. I t will be for 2,000,0001. at 80, specially secured by the Egyptian tribute (which is calculated to yield an nually2B2,ooo/.), and redeemable at par by yearly instal ments of at least one per cent. in a 6 per cent. ste . ck c ommencing on the Ist sterling, of March, 1856, the general revenues of Turkey being, of course, at the same time_pled ge d . The first payment will he 15 per cent., to be followed at monthly intervals by another of 15 per cent., one of 20 per cent., and two of 15 per cent. A portion of the loan will be offered in Paris, and the subscribers o are to have the option of tak ino. an additional 1,000,00 1. on the same terms, if they desire to do so, at any time within a month. B eyon d this amount a sum of 2,000,000 /. is c ontemplated to be raised, but not until after the lapse of five months, nor at a lower price than 85. The due remittance f the Egyptian tribute to this country direct will be provided for by a distinct firman, and, inasmuch as the punctual discharge of their obligation by the Viceroy is guaran teed to Turkey under the treaty entered into between the Five Powers in 1841, the security seems as tangible as could be desired. The English Government, it is un derstood, will likewise give a formal intimation that the claims of the subscribers will always be regarded as en titled particularly to their support. SALR OF CHICORY.--The circumstance of some of the retail grocers having recently sent a deputation to the Chancellor of the Exchequer against the existing regula tions prohibiting the sale of chicory as coffee cawed an • • to be made of the Governm ent on behalf of inquiry the Ceylon coffee planters as to wh et h er they intended any alteration. To this the following answer has been received : "Downing- s t reet, August 8. " I have to acknowledge the receipt of y our letter of the sth, and have to acquaint you in reply t h at there is no intention of relaxing, or otherwise dep art i ng from, the m ch i i n c u or t y e . of February, 1853, respecting th e sale of coffee and "W.
