, 8 SPIRI r 0 S THE WEEKLY PRESS. The Saturday _Review thinks the electric telegraph is setting into disgrace. It is said that it writes history in epigrams. But its history is often withaut truth, and its epigrams without point. It is almost a necessity that it should eaaggerate. In a meagre outline, good news seems better, and bad news worse, than it actually is. It gene rally happens that, when we come to fill in the details, we find things r ot so bad 113 they were represented to us by the electric wires. The " full p trticulars" commonly show that there is balm in Gilead. The telegraph cannot particul riza —caanot even qualify. It must go straight to the mark, and deliver itself of the greatest possible amount of fact in the feeest possible words. But the philo eoshy of telegraph writing is not well understood. The choice of words is, doubtless, a great thing ; but the distribution of sentences is even greater. So lot gas the facts are stated correctly, it may seem t) be a small matter whether they are arrangei in one order or in another; bat the arrangement has unquestionably a vast effect a' regards the ieupression which the wards produce upon the public mind. Write ado zen sentences on a piece of paper; thee alter the order of their arrangement, and the change, through the same facts as before be indicated, may make a difference of one or two per cent in the value of consols next mornieg. If we jsad an ambition to drive a good business on the Stock Exchange, we c mid wish for nothing better than to have in our leands the arrangement of the pregnant sentences sent by 'the electric telegraph. The freer'save:—" It now seems just like a. d ay to look back on the time when Mr. Macaulay, and Praed, and `Charles Boiler, and many more were about town, after the etartiag of Knight's Quizreerly Magazine. P rae l i s no w no more; ho was mortrof a poet than a politician, and ht was not Well suited for the struggle of lite. Like Charles Buller, he was of a weakly constitution, and his brains were rot supported by backb - rte. 'Of all that brilliant company Mn. Macaulay has alone culminated. Bath Praed and Charles Buller were prematurely cat off; and many others with considerahla talents have permed the humdrum' course of xisteece—they married, got rich and gained happiness without renown. Mr. M aceu l ay , i n Lord Bacon's langusgt, never iteve 'hostages to'fortune ' and even with all the advantages of his spendid talents, his dazzling -style, and his varied knowlecte, the new • literary peer 'has been singularly fortunate, so much so -as to deserve his old name of 'lucky Tom.' He WAS lucky' in having asfsther before him who had acce''s to all the high Whig circles Old Zachary was nat a had.progenitor for an ambitious yontg orator Many of hi interesting 80 , 6)1 anecdotes evhich flow se 'freely from Mr Alcauley's lips testify to the fact of his early initiation into poitieal circles Wilberforce, in his diary, speaks of young Meneilay a id hie falter, and youeg Tom's old competitor, the prevent distinguished Greek scholar, P r ofe ssor Maiden. Earl Greyi(,hett Viscount Ho wick) was one of the first vile) praised in high circles the elequenee of the young member of the Cambridge Union. _Knight's itiragctr'ne introduced the &terming essayist to the Edinla.,rgla Review. The dissertation on Milton' carried his mines far and wide; and Lord Lansdowne gave heel a borough at the exact time most suitable to the display of lais.p ewers." The great - world of London (says the Leader) is decieedly out of town. You me©t no one Your half-pay friend, • the cousin of an IH-h ear), has retired into Norton-street, where he mesas to live in strict seclusion until pheasant "shooting is over, when he will reappear, not so 'hearty in - appearance as a man ought to be after so many weeks of open-air exercise. - Somerset House is enjoying its thirty days at the sea-side. The Foreign -office is on 'the Rhine. The City houses send their deputations of clerks to Ram- gate and Brighton. Every one -who can and will ettieys amazingly. except Lord Palmerston, who is doing duty like a white slave. In fact, every cfne is away, and nobody is in Lon don—" every one" meaning about ten thousand people, and ‘• no one" conside ably more than two millions. And what is the great world doing out of town ? Killing birds for the most part-that is to say the gentlemen 7 he ladies wear round hats,-canter on marine pared: s, and improvise little sea-side seasons, where they use up the . blushes caught by the morning breeze. They dip in the foam, their footsteps are sweet on the hills, their favourite Herrs and harpists follow them to the Town Hall. The Polygraphic Hall goes to Brighton ; the Gallery of Illus tration is set down at Hastings; little fragments of London fly off in every direction, not even the Opera • excepted. So that, the town being out ot town takes the town with it, and the metropolis is left like the last man, without sun or stars--Victoria at Balmoral, the Guards among the red deer of the Inverness-shire glens, parlia ment on the moors, the Albany among the pheasant preserves, and Belgravia at the watering-places. The Economist denies that the g , vsrnment of India has in any way violated Hindoo prejudices in interfering at all with their law of adoption. The illusion prevalent on this head among the advocates of Mr. Disraeli's theory of the mutiny is totally without, foundation. In the leading case of the Rajah of eat tera, the truth is, as all know, who have really looked into the government correspondence on the . question, that the adopted heir was allowed to inherit all that t..e Rajah had to g ve away—namely, his personal pro perty. It was expressly understoo I that the Eng - ish g ;yarn xnent should be consulted as to any pslitical succe-sor to be appointed ; and so far was this from being alien to the custom of the Mahratta States, that in case of a similar adoption by any of their subordinate chiefs, the sanction of the superior government was always required. Another case of the same class is now of more interest.• Just before the death of the late Peiehweh Badjee Rio, long after that prince had taken refugs—a miserable trembling fugitive— in the -camp of Sir John Malcolm, and long after his -consequent retirement on terms dictated and a life-pension granted by the English government—he nominated as his . adopted heir the present Rajah of Bhitpoor, the infamous liens Sahib. This man wished to inherit not only the private and personal property, but the life-pension of the Peiswah. lie mieht as well have laid claim to his abdi cated dominions, for which that life-pension was an . equivalent. The Government of India very properly . refused his request. And this is now considered by the • treacherous Hindoo as a violation of Hindoo law, which entitles him to join the sandard of rebellion, and murder -scores of Et ells 4. ladies. We believe that all the alleged .cases of the same kind are equally without founda tion. Adopted heirs have always been permitted to -take .what the adopter had to g ive, and that ne i t h er Eindoo nor any oth er l aw could give more, is obvious enough. The British Government in India has never in fact violated. Hindoo customs, except when, as in the case of suttee, and the mar iage of (nominal) widows, there wan.% general feeling even among the Hindoos themselves that social morality and order required the step. If the Indian government has made any mistake at all in these matters, it has been probably in showing too nervous a regard to Hindoo epiaion on all points that touch sacer dotal custom and haste. The line that the government has, in the main, pursued, and that we trust it may con tinue to pursue, is one of scrupulous but courageous neutrality on all matters of a religious nature when they do not practically interfere with the physical order at d prosperity of Indian society. The A:us/rated A attstbelieves the errors hitherto com mitted in the government of India have not had their origin in cruelty or despotism, but in humanity and generosity, and sprang from a too imptieit reliance upon the peel faith and gratitude of Asiatic soldiers. Such errors, we may be sure, will not be repeated. The rebellion will, at least, have taught us that. Whatever be our future policy towards the people of India, as dis tingeished from thu sol tiery —and there can be no -doubt that it will be humane, enlightened, and benefieent—we shall never again pamper an .indizu army. We sh tli never again trust the parmenenes of our dominion to the support of Mahommedans or Ilimbos, but shall rely upon the right arms of oar ,countrymen to defend what we have won, sad work to proper issues the resources of our empire. The Builder rays—" With the sad events in India it is not oar province to deal; but, beerier; upon them, we have advice and a warning to give, which, if attended to, will save life, lessen sotto w, strengthen our arms, and shorten the struggle. We ask far the immediate organisation of a sanitary COMMitSiall to proceed to India with our army. • We could point to a score of warnings in our pages, attention to which, in the fi tt instauce, would have saved wealth and lives ; recollect, if no other, the dangers of the camp atelldershott; ihe evils which threat ened the Golden-square district, in a sanitary point of view ; and the indefensible arratgements at Netley hospital, all pointed out by us in time to have prevented the evils before they occurred; and let the government lisreu to our warning now, and act with wisdom ant promptness. A.ptrliamentaey !sport, recen lv published, as to the deaths in the Bailie and Black See, fleets, sh ens that the devils in beth flaet in the years 1851 and 187.5, numbered 2,029, of which 1,574 were the result cf disease, 22.1 of suicide. drowning, and other accidental causes; and on'y 227 of wounds in action. These figures show that in our navy, as in the army, pestilence and disease are far more fatal than the sword or artillery, and the other peri , s of war. The deaths by various diseases, amounted to upwards tf 7 to I of th no which wee .caused by battle." The United 'service Gazette points out that the penny wise-aud,p9und-fonlish system is very charmingly exempli fied by the War Department in their arra:lgen/outs for the embarkation of troop for India Really, ono would •upposJ that they belisved Dover and Shorucliffe to be inland towns, for on no other hypothesis can we understand why troops should be moved thence to be embarked at Portsmouth, when the transports can as easily lay of the Dover pier.

It involved a regular fatigue day , preventing the men from getting their meals at the proper time. Lord Panmure may stare at the alleged expense, but if any of the gentlemen in his lordship's department will be at the trouble to make a calculation of the cost of bringing vessels frcm the rive: to Portsmouth for the em b rkation of troops, adding th reto the railway charges from Dover, and c )aopare it with the cost of embarkation at Dove; they will find that we are not very much out. The Dispatch says—" The real state of the harvest may be, and is, misrepresented f)r interested purposes ; but the fact is that no yield so great has been known over Europe for twenty years. In Canada and the Scates it is alio large, and holders of Great Western of &dada R tilway strek, in the face of falling traffic returns, ra'her raise their price, because they know that whenever the crops come to be distributed a great increase of traffic must follow. Europe, especially England, should be in the most nourishing con dition, and stocks would be far enough above par to allow of a Two-and a-Half per Cent. Stock, but that our Indian Empire comes in to draw off our labour hands, and to - raise our taxes. In the city it is confidently asserted that £100,000,000 will not see us through the consequences of the revolt; and if our wise men of Gotham had their way, we would seize all China, end try to hold about 600,000 000, or two thirds of the whole human - race, by a standing army destined to strenghen the Crown, and @ttimately to command England, as the Fretorian b .nds held Rome, or as Monk brought in James, We are, it seems, to rule the world by mercenaries, by Katlire from 1 lle Cape, and free negroes from the West Indies ; men who will go anywhere, and do anything their leaders order them. It may be remembered that it was proposed in the same way to march the Sepoys of India against - China, as if war and great arches ware really the trade and the stock in trade of England." MAIIOMtEDAN GALLANTRY.—Ora the 13th we went to en evening party at Lord Ashley's. His lordship and his beautif I lady received us will greet courtesy. Here we 11,,,d the pleasure of being introduced to - Viscount Jocelyn and his wife, the loveliest of English beauties. After a little while I had the honour .of playing at chess with this nymph of Paradise. I played two games with her, and allowed myself to be beaten both ties to please her.— Autobiogaphy of Luffet ENTERPRISING LADIES.—The Note:ilzgharn Review ob serves that Melton Mowbray can boas, of three public characters which perhaps no other town can—namely, two independent ladies who Have taken nut game certificates, and who enter the fi.-Id and can bring down the game equal t ) any male sportsman, as well as those indu'ging in fishing, hunting over a country , toliounds, &,. The other is a female blacksmith, whe is each an adept at -shoeing a boys?, or working at the anvil, as to cause universal excrement. ROYAL GATHERINGS.—The Emperor of Russia is expec ted to arr:ve on the 14th inst. at Ktsdarn, whetce he will set off again on the 17th for the south, to join the Empress, and, together with her, he will proceed to Sturgirdt, to visit the Emperor's sister, the 'Crown Princess of Wurtere burg. It is here that, aeccerding to general expectation, the mee!ing of the Entparors Alexander and Louis Napo. leon will take ple , ce. It is assumed that the latter will come from Chalot s to Stuttgardt, and after returning the King of Wurtembures late visit. will proceed to Darmstadt to perform the same ceremony be the , © rand Duke of Hessen. In the month of October the Emperor and Empress of Russia will come to Potsdam on a visit, on their way back to St. Petersburg. The Ecorsorsise publishes en account showing the dis triubti in of the exports of the United Kingdom for the first six mmths of the present year. The ontire amount ex ported to all markets in the half-ye ir was £60,826 381., while for the whole of /856 the am din , was £116,8:6,000., and of 185,5. £O5 688,000. Of ihv £60,826,381. exported up to the 30th of June, £42,670,603 went to foreign countries, and £18,155,773 to our colonial poesessinne. Judging by the accounts of the year so far, it is certain that the exports of ls - 67 will exceed X 120,000,000. The chief increase in the present year has taken place to the United States, British India, and the Australian Colonies; but to every market of any imp attance the amount is steadily kept up and gradually increasing. SINGULAR EXPLOSION ON THE RAILWAY AT PRESTON.— On Thursday afternoon as the 5 15 passenger train from Manchester approached the Preston station, a tuba convey ing the condensed steam to the cold water tank burst with a terrific explosion, scattering the condensed vapour all around in a perfect stream, and thoroughly drenching the engine -driver, stoker, and one of the guards of the train. The train approached a platform which was within twenty yards from where the explosion happened, and which was crowded with passengers and other peop:e. Tit?. disabled engine was then replaced, and the train proceeded to Lytham, Blackpool, Fleetwood, &c., without further delay than a few minutes. Hid the accident taken place a few seconds later the consequences rni4lit hey. been very serious, if not fatal. As it was, no person was injured. HEALTH OF THE KING OF PE SSIA.—The Kit,g's health and strength have not yet recovered the bad effects of his ill-advi edjowney to Vienna last July, immediately after finishing his course of waters at Marienbad. His visit to Erdmansdoff, among the rocky mountains in Silesia, which has been productive of so much advantage to hint on many former occasions, has been obliged to be ;'ven up this autumn, and his exertions have been confined to nee( wary busiaess that can be transactad at Potsdam. It is trusted, however, that the present state of quiet and repose which the King has been enjoying for the la t month, together with the assidious use of cold baths in the Havel, will have invigorated him amply for the various public acts that stand fixed for thi s mon th— suc h as the opening of a rail road in the eastern provinces of the kingdom, the inauguration of the colossal railway bridge over the Vistula, the grand manceuvrest the Emperor of It issia's visit and the meeting of the Evangelical Alliance in Berlin—an event on which his Majesty bestows an unceasing and anxious solicitude. SlioretNESS (7 WATER AT BERL! V.—The public health is suffering extremely from the various prejudicial circum stance produced by the want of water, and the health of the troops now being collected in the neighbourhood of Berlin and Potsdam is of a nature to suggest the propriety of very much altering and curtailing the programme of the approaching mar ceuvres. in the various garrisons an inflammation cf the eyes exhibits itself epidemically, and in enn,iderable numbers renders the men unfit for duty. The air has become so thoroughly vitiated in the stables of the cavalry that, in numerous inst laces, the horses have had to be removed and quartered in the neighbouring villages. It is to be hoped that this unenviable state of things wi'l quicken the minds of the population to a due appreciation of the benefits to be derived from the ample use of colt water, put into their reach now by the enemy and enterprise of our cou-itrytnen, who have erected works here for supplying the town with water, but it is to be feared that as long as the enjoyment of the benefits offered is coupled with an expense of money their apprehensions will remain impenetrably dull. PRAISEWORTHY PATRI imm. —The Deutsche Ailgenteine Zeitung publishes a letter from Damascus, dated Aug. 5, in which it is stated that tie son of an English merchant there, named Whyte, whose fortune is estimated at £2,900,000, had at his own expense raised sad equipped a corps of 30 Eurovans, with whom he had tux day before set off to join the British forces in the East Indies, as a a volunteer, together with his " following." The course they had taken was in the first instance to Beyraut, to embark there for Ezypt, and to proceed thence to the East Indies. The uniform iu which these volunteers have been clothed is very similar to that of our Rides. They have, however, been armed with the fowling-pieces they were eccastemed to at home, and els) carry yaragans. Mr. Whytels Adjatant and Q tartermaster is a Mr. Film, a re'ation of the English Consul of that name at Jerusalem. He his described as having formerly served 12 years as a Company's officer in Bengal, and as a man of middle age and of ath'etic stature. Attached to this 'little expedition is a Swiss surgeon of the name of Bachmann, who lately served as assistant-surgeon with our army in the Crimea. With the exception of the above, the force has been raised exclusively from the working classes, and consists cf 21 Britons, six Italians, two Frenchmen, and two Greeks; and these modern Paladins trust to reach the Peat of action early in this month. RIOPEESENTA.TION OLDIIAM.—A public meeting of the Liberal electors and coo-electors of the borough was held in the Town-hall, on Friday night, for the purpose of selecting a gentleman to represent the borough in Parlie nient, in place of the late James Platt, Eq. Mr. Wiliam Knott, the chairman of the Liberal committee, was called upon to preside, and after payiel a tribute to the memory of the deceased member, he called upon John Nield, who moved a vote of condolence and sympathy to the widow and family of the deceased. Edward Ingham, another working man, seconded the motion. which was carried by acclamation. Mr. Councillor Frith newt proposed that Mr. William Johnson Fox b e recommen d e d by the meeting as a fit and proper person to represent the borough is Parliament Mr.- • John Grimshlw seconded the motion, which was suppnvted by Mr. Councillor Dransfield and Mr. Ross, and on beim put was carried by acclamation. A vote of thanks was' passed to the chairman, and the meeting separat e d.

This is said t o be r. T. H. Milne, of Crompton, who was solicited to contest the borough in 1852, on the occasion of the death of the late Mr. Duncuft, but there is little likelihood of any gentleman having a chance of being returned against Mr. For. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Saturday Evening The Cotton Market was rather more active to-Jay, the sales reaching fully 10,000 bales, including 2000 on speculation and for export. Holders not supplying the market very freely, prices were firmly maintained. The Liverpool Share Market continued very quiet to-Jay Caledonians along have had another rise, without any ostensible cause.

Te-lay there was rather an increased demand for Money, but the supply being abundant, rates of discount were rather on the decline than other wise, and increased relief is anticipated in a few days The increase of bullion, with the continuous arrivals from Australia, must in time, unless the Bank of France should recommence its autumnal operations, which is not expected, place the directors of the Bank of England in a position to make an alteration to 5 per cent., and if the reduc tion should only prove temporary there will be at least some slight relief to trade. On the other hand, the Bankers' Circular of to-day thinks that for some time no reduction in the Bank rate can be loakei for. It says :- At this'period of the year there is always an increased internal demand for the payment of wages connected with the harvest, as well as provision to be made for the pay ment et the public dividends, so that we may look forward to a full demand for money during the next few weeks, as the ordinary condition of the money market at this period of the year. Some anticipations have been en tertained, that the large importations of specie would have enabled the Bank to reduce the rate of interest ; but these expectations do not seem to rest upon any satisfactory grounds. The late importations of specie do not appear to have dote more than to have maintained the Bank reserve from falling to an inconveniently low point; and though the purchases of gold have been large, the addition has not much increased the total stock on hand. The tendency of the Corn market has been also of a favourable character, in connection with the supplies of Foreign corn ; but neither of these circumstances appear to justify an immediate expectation of a reduced rate of interest. The affairs of India cannot be omitted from the calculation. There is a vast outlay , to be met by: the Government on this side, for military purposes; and it is difficult at present to form anything like a correct estimate of what may be demanded in India. Such being the case, every preparation must be made by the Bank and the - Government for any emergency that may arise ; and any temporary reduction in the rate of interest under such circumstances is calculated to o e' a mistaken view of the finances of the country, and the actual condition of the money market. The market for the Public Funds and Securities was, inanimate to-day, but no material change occurred in prices, several circumstances having combined to check both real and speculative operations. Numerous parties, who, if they were present,might support the market by time dealings, or bona fide purchases, are out of town, and the approach of settling day, and the desire to await the receipt of further advices from India, induce a cautious policy among those who remain in the metropolis. The Bears seem confi lent of lower prices, while the Bulls on the other hand are equally sanguine of a rise. Consols for money and the 9th inst. were at about 901 1 all day, while for October 14th they were On 91. After the recog nised hours the price for the 9th inst. was firmer, viz., 901. A leading broker " carried over" about 400,0001 at 7.lGtli per cent , and the charge for that operation is now 7-16th to 1 per cent. The New Three per Cents were 91 to 911, and Exchequer Bills 5s discount. The following list shows the fluctuations in Consols during the past week : Lowest Highe.t Closing prices. prices. prices.

The demand for Caledonian shares has continued active, and a further rise of about 2 per cent, has taken place. The increased enquiry for these securities is attributed to the favourable traffic returns, which it is calculated will enable the directors to announce an improved dividend at the expiration of the current half year.

Petersburg, 48,500 half-imperials, or 38,5001 ; the City of Balti more, from America, 60,000 dols., or 12,500/. ; the Sultan, from the Mediterranean, 2,3651.; the Fulton. from America, 10,000 dols., or 20,000/ the Holland, from Ostend, 21. cases of bullion ; and the Canada, 430,000 dols., or 86,0001. ; and the Arago, with 4,000/., both from America. The exports of specie during the week were upwards of 900,000/., viz: by the Magdalena for the West Indies, 22,2921., of which 13,0001. is in silver, and the rest gold ; the Indus for India, 696,0251, of which 12,832/. is in gold, and the rest silver, divided as follows :—Gold to Ceylon, 2,8001; Madras, 4,4221; Mauritius, 5,0001, and Singapore 6101. Silver to Bombay, 102,39:1; Madras, 45,4341; Calcutta, 265,5921 ; Penang, 4,2111; Singapore, 41,940 ; Hong Kong, 112 44' , /, and Shanghae, 11.1,1861, also upwards of 200,0001 to the continent through the Custom House. The official returns of the reports of the precious metals from the port of London during the week ending August 28th, shows a total of 25,530 ounces of gold and 402 400 ounces of silver. Notwith standing the last Overland Mail reported increased firmness in the Eastern exchanges, the demand for silver has been very -quiet, and now that the steamer has left tbere is scarcely any business in progress, while the quotations at the same time appear very fiat. The Indus, which was the vessel despatched on Friday, took out a smaller amount than the two or _three previous mails, and, if the average hi-monthly shipments could be reduced to something like, three-quarters of a million sterling, the drain, in the absence of any other of importance, would cease to create any un easiness, as a continued influx of gold into the Bank would be insured. Very few purchases are being made on the Continent, hut yesterday about 25,0091 arrived from Boulogne. The following are the current prices in the bullion market : Bar gold, 775. 91 per oz. standard ; United States gold coin, 765. 21d. per oz. ; bar silver, 53 It-d. to Fl. per oz standard ; Mexican and South American dollars, ss. ltd. per oz.; and five franc, 43. 1 lid. per ounce. In the manufacturing districts trade generally, during the past week, has been rather quiet. Man ufacturers complain that, owing to the high prices of the raw material, it is difficult to obtain remun erating prices. At Bradford business has been limited, owing to the high prices demanded for wool, spinners only buying just sufficient to sup ply bsolute wants. A very moderate business was done at Halifax during the week, holders of wool demanding increased rates. At Manchester the market continued firm for all descriptions of clAths, except those suitable for India.. There was a fair demand for Germa3y and Russia, and for the home trade a good business had been done. The business done in the London Produce Market this week has been rather circumscribed, and, owing to the limited demand, and the disin clination of most parties to pay such high prices, the importers have found it difficult to press sales unless at a slight reduction. Sugar, for instance, has been bought with same degree of reserve, and, except for the best qualities, which are scarce and firm, a decline of is to is 6cl per cwt has taken place. The market closed yesterday afternoon with increased heaviness, and several parcels offered publicly were withdrawn for want of bidders. The stock of this article at the close of last week was 63,027 tons, against 65,200 at the corresponding period of 1850. Coffee has been steady, owing to the continuance of the inquiry, and the tolerably favourable result of the Dutch Company's first sale. Yesterday, however, the market was, per haps, a trifle flatter, the second sale in Holland being less satisfactory. Cocoa has realised higher prices, tea is steady, and rum has advanced, and numerous purchases have been made, There has been a good inquiry for rice, and full values have been carrent. Several railway meetings were held this week. At the half-yearly meeting of the Mid Kent Com pany, the report presented stated that the balance in favour of the company for the half-year was 7,1111, besides 5,250/ deposited with the Court of Chancery. The half-yearly meeting of the Thames Haven Company was also held, and it appears by the balance sheet that the receipts amounted to 1,287/, and the expenses 722/, leaving a balance of 565/. The meeting of the St. Andrews and Quebec Railway Company has taken place, Mr. Fry in the chair. The statement of the receipts and expenditure, from the 31st December, 1856 to the transfer of the property in October 1856, showed that 11,276/ had been re ceived, and 10,384/ expended leaving a balance of 892/, of which 8571 was clo.lined by the Receiver. General, leaving a balance of 35! at the bankers There has been a meeting of the proprietors of the Boston, Sleaford, and Midland Counties, at which it was stated that 91,973/ had been expended in the construction of the line, which was now half finished, and was exceeding their expectationswith regard to passenger and goods traffic. The half yearly meeting of the East Anglian Railway Company was held ou Friday, and passed off very satisfactorily. The accounts for the hatt-year showed an increase in the traffic of 2,080/ for the last six months, the total sum being 27,131/. This amount enabled the directors to pay the prefer ence stocks in full, and to set aside 631/ towards a fund for the original stockholders, Another favourable feature was a reduction in the working expenses. The report was adopted. The report of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company was agreed to, at their meeting, held this week at Glasgow. At the half-yearly meeting of the Lancaehire and Yorkshire Railway Company, held at Manchester, Mir. H. W. Wickham, M,P., in the chair, a dividend of £ 103. for the half-year was declared. The meeting of the Dundee, Perth, and Aberdeen Junction Railway Company was held at Dundee, When a dividend at the rate of 11 per cent. per annum was declared. In the colonial limes 3 a very limited business has been done, and it is rather surprising that seine of the Indian shares with 5 per cent. guarantees should only be a fractional premium, when it is universally acknowledged that immediately upon the suppression of the rebellion, a material augmentation in their intrin sic value will ensue. Railways wi:l then be prosecuted with the vigour commensurate with their commercial and political importance, and considering the rapid development of the recources of the empire that must soon be renewad. they • cannot fail to be highly productive to the shareholders. The Brazils and River Plate mails arrived at Southampton to-day. At Buenos Ayres trade had been very stack, but a slight improvement had occurred in the price of several articles of import. The expert produce markets were dull and inani mate. At Baltia the sugar market continued in a state of apathy, but prices of co ton had slightly improved. At Pernambuco prices of cotton had advanced 200 res, and 400 to 500 res in the out ports. The Canada arrived this afternoon with Boston advices to the `,.).6L11 ult. The New York cotton market hat! been very • quiet, and prices were merely nominal. The accounts of the crop are rather mere favourable, six bales of new cotton had been received this season.
