Ii Q is

Subjoined is a resolution just pawed by the com-
mittee of the Stock Exchange, with reference to Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire Fifths, but which stands for
confirmation at the next meeting of the committee :
Resolved, that all dealings in Lancashire and Yorkshire
Fifths be considered u with 141. per share paid, up to,
and including the IGth September neat ; and that, after
that day, thil be considered as 131. 10s. paid, as directed by
act of parliament.
The money market remains steady, the rates gene-
rally. s'anding as before, although business is now
moving in an enlarged circle. The demand ter
I capital for the prosecution of joint stock enterprise I
by no means large, and the amounts to be Sews
from this market on account of foreign loans, 0.111
the Turkish, Brazilian, and Austrian, are not
likely to have any material influence in tightening
the =whet, the amounts required or taken up,
tag IN me OM comparatively small. The payments
ea amount of railway dividends amount, in the
espegate to a very large sum, and tend to ease the
market. It meat also be remembered that the great
quarterly dividend period is close at hand. At the
Mae time it is evident that the shipments of coin
slued bushman increasing of late, and the main-
masts kw word trade and agriculture are largo..

Railway;valeh requires a total capital in shares and
debentures of 630,0001., of which, however, 175,00 W.
lie been subscribed in shares in Canada. The trade
estimates are favourable, and the project, which is
warmly supported by the colonial legislature, seems
likely to aid in the development of the resources of
the colony.
The movement in specie and bullion this week hes
bele highly important. The imports have bees
large, comprising the undermentioned sums, vie,
156,000 dole., by the Niagara from New York ;
11,100 ounces of gold by the Johnstone, and 1,452
ounces by the St. Vincent, both from Sydney; 17,490
ounces by the Vanguard from Port Phillip; 14,000
ounces by the Albatross from Adelaide; 50,000 dolt
by the City of Glasgow from Philadelphia; 600,000
dols. by the Pacific from Now York ; 50,000 dole,
by the screw steamer Tamaulipas, from Tampieer
and 8001. by the Madrid, from Lisbon and Orate.
The Eagle has also arrived off Portsmouth, from New
York, with 100,000 dole. in American gold. The total
valued these imports may be stated at nearly 370,0001.
On the other hand, the shipments have been extreou,
dinarily heavy. The Custom-house account of the
exports of the precious metals direct from Lire"
during the week ending Thursday last, is &s>himsit
—Gold coin : To Hamburg, 2,300 oz. ; to Belgium.
100,000 oz. Silver coin : to Hamburg, 26,400e5.; till
Boulogne, 6,50 oz. Silver bars: To Rotterdam, 100,000
oz.; to Hamburg,B,796oz. ; to Boulogne, 1,100 oz. This
gives a total of 102,300 ounces of gold and 136,946
ounces of silver, of the aggregate value of about
418,00 W. The shipment of the large quantity of
100,000 ounces of gold coin to Belgium is the mast
remarkable feature of this return.

There have also been shipped 3,5001. by the
Madras for Malta, Smyrna, and Constantinople;
10,0001. by the Marmion, and 100/. by the Henry
Winch, both for Sydney; 40,0001. by the Syria for
Port Phillip; and 13,7411. by the Royal Mail Steam-
ship Orinoco for the West Indies. On board the
screw steamship Cleopatra has also been shipped the
large sum of 200,0001. for conveyance to Sydney and
Port Phillip. The aggregate exports from the king-
dom daring the week are thus raised, according to
oar returns, to the enormous sum of 685,0001., being
nearly double the receipts, and larger than for many
months past.
With reference to the amalgamation negotiations
between the London and North Western and Mid-
land railways, the Raiheay Times observes--"An
interchange of communications continues to take
place. The best feelings are expressed, and every
willingness evinced to hear what the other has to
say. But there has not as yet been any coming to
closeness of details. An amalgamation is meant, but
no mutual price has been offered or asked. This prac-
tical approach to a settlement may, however, be ex-
pected in the course of a few days.
The same journal mentions that the North Staf-
fordshire award is still sealed up, and that Mr.
Olyn, in the presence of whom and Mr. Ricardo, it
is to be opened, is expected to return to town by the
end of next week. It would certainly appear that
the complaints of the shareholders at being kept in
ignorance of the contents of the award are perfectly
reasonable, as it is absurd that they should be kept
waiting till such time as the directors may think
proper to return from their pleasure trips.
The arrangements under which the consolidation
of Shrewsbury and Birmingham shares into stock has
been effected, are detailed in the following note from
the secretary dated the 30th August, and addressed
to the secretary of the Stock Exchange :
I have to acquaint you that by the Shrewsbury and Bir-
mingham Railway Company's Amendment Act, 1862, the
ordinary share capital of the company (hitherto represented
by 52,000 class A shares of 131. 6e. 3d., and 52,000 elms B
snares of 91. U.. 3d.) tau bees consolidated into stock, sad
that on and after Ist fkptember it will be necessary in sales
end purchases to hare the description of shares or stock
properly described in the transfers.
The capital of the company will in future be represented
as follows :

" Shrewsbury and 13irmingham
Railway stock" all paid up.
1901.,W7 101. "London and North Western guaranteed
stock," all paid up, bring the amount of capital subscribed
to the Stour Valley Company and guaranteed irds of the L.
and N. W. dividred for the time being.
Shore* —19,376 (only issued 16,870) preference shares of
81. all paid up, guaranteed out of the yearly net receipts
when sufficient for the purpose, 8 per cent. till November,
1809, and 6 per cont. in perpetuity thereafter.

A SPANISH EXECUTION.—At Fiahrlgnn, province of
Aragon, in Spain, a man named Cnesta was a week since
taken out for execution, in pursuance of a sentence of the
Criminal Tribunal, for the murder of a peasant. The man
was placed on the scaffold, and the iron eons', by which
in Spain executions are effected, was put round his neck ;
but when the esseuticner turned the handle the screw
broke, before the iron had pressed at all on the throat. On
wing this, the crowd who surrounded the scaffold cried,
"Grace, grace !" but the executioner quietly proceeded
to replace the instrument. On this the people shouted
louder and louder, " Grace ! " The registrar of the
court, who was present officially to witness the exe-
cution, endeavoured to explain that neither he nor the
executioner could take on themselves to refrain from carry-
ing the sentence into effect. The crowd, however,
drowned his voice with their clamours; and six of the
brethren of the charitable association forced their way to
the scaffold and insisted that the execution should not take
place. The officer refused to allow any delay. The people
thereupon sent a volley of stones at him and at the execu-
tioner, and, as their exasperation appeared to increase
every moment, it was feared that they would make an at-
tempt at rescue. A messenger was accordingly sent to the
chief authorities of the district, and they soon arrived at
the head of a strong detachment of cavalry. Orders were
given to the people to disperse, and on their refusal the
cavalry charged. In a short me the place was cleared.
The executioo,- then attached a new collar to the post, and
the criminal was put to death.
ASSOCIATION FOR THE CONQUEST OF CUBA.
The mainspring of the present Cuban movement in Ame-
rica is a well-organised and wide-spread secret po-
litical association, known as the " Order of the Lone Star.""
Numerous divisions of this order are established all over
the country. In New York and neighbourhood there are
some seven or eight divisions, embracing several thousands
of members, who have all bound themselves to march at a
moment's warning to Cuba. Soldiers, merchants, phyai-
, cians, lawyers, editors, and even divines, said by the New
York papers to he active and influential members of this
order, and its coffers are rapidly filling with gold.
THE PROGRESS OP THE CHOLERA.—Accounts from
I Hamburg to the 3rd inst., state that there had been two
case. of cholera on board an English schooner at Etsineur,
which arrived on the 30th from Dantsie. The master and
one of the crew died during the voyage ; there were no
symptoms in the remainder of the crew. From Posen the
the news is still alarming. From the Ist, out of 97 cases 50
terminated fatally. In Warsaw on the 29th, there were 79
new cases, of which 38 proved fatal. The number remain-
ing_ ander treatment was 519.
MR. GUPPY ENTERTAINS HIS FRlENDB.—Accord-
ingly they betake themselves to • neighbouring dining-
house, of the class known among its frequenters by the de-
nomination slap-bang, where the waitress a bouncing
young female of forty, is supposed to have tirade some im-
pression on the susceptible Soullweed, of whom it may be
remarked that he is a weird changeling, to whom years are
nothing. He stands precociously possessed of centuries of
owlish wisdom. It he ever lay in a cradle it seems as if he
must have lain there in a tail coat. He has en old, old eye, has
Smallweed ; and be drinks and smokes in a monkeyish
way ; and his peek is stiff in his collar ; and he is never to
be taken in ; and he knows all about it, whatever it is. In
mhimet, in hie bringing up, he has been so nursed by law and
equity that be has become a kind of fossil imp, to meant
!bemire terrundal existence it is reported at the public
lases that hie father was John Doe, and his mother the
may female member of the Hos family ; also that his drat
inerelothes were made from a blue Isag.
i Into the dining-
house, unaffected by the seductive show n the window of
neliatially whitened cauliflowers and poultry, verdant
baskets of peas coolly blooming cucumbers, and joints I
trendy fee the spit, Mr. BmaUweed leads the way. They
knew W thin, and defer to him. He has his favourite
box, he bespeaks all the papers, he is down upon bald
patriarchs, who keep them more than ten minutes afterwards.
It is of no use trying him with anything less than • full-sized
" bread," or proposing to him any joint in cut, unless it is
in the very best cut. In the matter of gravy he is adamant.
Conscious of his elfin power, and submitting to his dread
experience, Mr. Guppy consults him in the choice' of that
day's banquet, turning an appealing look toward him as the!
waitress repeats the catelogueof viands, and raying, What '
do you take, Chick I" Chick, out of the profundity of his
artfulness, preferring " Teal and ham, and French beans—
And don't you forget the staffing, Polly," (with so un-
earthly cock of his venerable eye) ; Mr. Guppy and Mr.
Jobling give the like order. Three pint pots of holland-
half are superadded. Quickly the waitress returns, bearing
what is apparently a model of the Tower of Babel, but
anal is really a pile of plates and flat tin distr.:overs. Mr.
Bwallweed, approving of what is set before him, coneers in-
telligent benignity into his ancient eye, and winks upon
her. Then, amid a constant coming in, and going out, and
running about, and a clatter of crockery, and a rumbling up
and down of the machine which brings the nice cuts from
the kiteheu, and a shrill crying for more nice cuts down the
speaking-pipe, and a shrill reckoning of the eon of nice eats
that hare been disposed of, and a general dash and steam,
of hot joints, cut and uncut, and a considerably heated at-
mosphere in which the soiled knives and table-cloths seem
to break out spontaneously into eruptions of grease sod
blotches of herr, the legal triumvirate appease their app.
