Scorrien MIDLAND RAILWAY.—The half-yearly
meeting was held at Perth on Monday lot; Mr. J. Stirling
in the chair. The chairman congratulated the proprietors
on the smallness of the arrears on calls, and on the wine
Lion made in the interest on loans. The passenger traffic
was Dot, he observed, so satisfactory as the goods trate,
and, in order to develop it, they must cultivate amicable
arrangements with other companies. The report was
adopted ; the directors were authorised to enter into arrange-
ments with landowners, to obtain lend for certain proposed
branches ; and a dividend of 11 percent. was declared.
THE ESSEX MILITIA.—This week the process of
enrolling volunteers for this force has been going ea, meet-
ings of the deputy-lieutenants, attended by Capt. Pearson
acting as adjutant of the regiment, and Mr. taker, our-
goon, having been held in the different sub-divisions. At
present, however, little progress has been made towards
raising the number of men required to complete the corps,
only about 60 having bean enrolled out of I,ol9.—Ch•lnu-

THE MILITIA (LEEDS DlSTRlCl—Yesterday (Fri-
day), after an adjourned meeting of e lieutenancy of the
West Riding, the volunteers for the militia in the Leas
&Odom of the West Riding attended at the Corn-It:change
Reid for the parries of being attested. The work of et-
iolation emnsweed at 12 o'clock, and went on rapidly till
twee whoa it sass to a stop, in consequence of all the blank
Mae eat down by government having been used up. The
eseesgessee of this was, that an adjournment was rendered
seowwwy until next week. Contrary to expectation the
manlier of volunteers coming forward is very great. Those
einsoing are mostly youg men of from 18 to 22.
PUTS OF MENTAL CALCULATION.—The Zwick
assege gives an account of the wonderful calculating
=lof • blind youth, named Winkler, brought up at
dled school of lJntereraw. He lately gave a public
exhibition of his peculiar talent, extracting square and cubic
roots to the extent of five decimals with the greatest ra-
pidit and correctness. He solved quadratic and cubic
egtss ales of the west dillealt kind, and repeated a
nosier empsimi of n arm, which had been written
dews wed repethel to his eon. He afterwards commenced
the yes. at the NW fed, sad repeated them with per-
k* methetnees

FRIDAY EVININO.
The money transactions again constituted the bulk
of the business in the English funds to-day. The
change in prices was not material, but on the whole
the market evinced signs of improvement, sad aimed
firmly. From 993, at which sales were Mal far
cash, Consols improved to, and were last markedper,
both for cash and tho 13th October, the closingene-
tation being 991 to 100, and 100 buyers, respir
tively. The time bargains were few, and at
rates. The transfer book, of Iteduced Threes
Long Annuities were shut yesterday afternoon,
and those of the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
Bank Stock, and South Sea Annuities, thii
afternooon, so that till the middle of Oc-
tober, when tho books will be re-opened, the
transactions will, as a matter of course, be mainly
restricted to Consols. Subjoined is the list of bus .
noises officially rendered viz. :—Three per Cent. Con-
sols, for money, 991, 1,3, /, 100; ditto, for account,
991, 100. Three per Cent. Reduced (shut). New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 104/, 1, 2,1. Long
Annuities (shut). Bank Stock, 228, 229; ditto, for
account, 2281. South Sea Old Annuities, 993.
The March Exchequer Bills again fell ls. to-day,
sellers offering rather freely at the range of 725. to
755. prem. In the Juno Bills nothing was done.
India Beads mask 83a., 84u, and 87s. press.
The foreign stock market was quieter, and tba'
change in prices slight. The movement was Iris
chiefly in favour of the Turkish Loan, which rose
from 8 to 81 prem., and after the close of the official
hours was as high as 93, at which price there were
buyers. A large proportion of the dealings in this
stock is understood to bo on foreign account, the
security being regarded with much favour on the
Continent. Peruvian, Mexican, Grenadian, Ecuador,
Brazilian, Sardinian, and all the dividend-paying
stocks, are extremely steady. Sales are thus re-

7-16 to 9-16 prem. ; Ebro Canal, 3to 1 prem. ;

The Upper India Railway Company is upon the
market. The capital to be raised is one million ster-
ling, in 201. shares, and it is proposed to make appli-
cation for a royal charter. It is also expected that
the guarantee of a minimum rate of interest will be
obtained from the East India Company.
Reports were current to-day, and, we are enabled
to state, in well-informed circles, that Mr. Glyn had
resigned the chairmanship of the London and North
Western Railway still retaining, however, his seat
at the board. 11l health and consequent inability to
marry out properly the duties of this responsible po-
sition, are stated to be the motives of Mr. Glyn's de-
termination. The statement in question had • very
unfavourable effect on the price of the stock, which
was at one time as low as 120, but subsequently
rallied, and closed only a trifle lower than yesterday.
The amalgamation negotiations between this com-
pany and the Midland are canvassed with much
interest. it is stated that the London and
North Western board have offered the Midland
671. 10a. per 1001. stock, and that the Midland want
701. per cent. Although the basis of an amalgama-
tion might be very quietly settled between the two
boards, it will readily be seen that very great dif-
ficulties would yet remain to be surmounted. In
the first place there would be a large body of share-
holders in each company who would dissent to the
proposition—sonic opposing the project altogether,
and others on the question of terms ; and even sup-
posing these impediments to be overcome, there then
remains the grand question as to whether the legis-
lature will permit the establishment of so gigantic a
monopoly.
The telegraphic accounts received from Vienna to-
day state that of the new loan of 80,000,000 florins
(8,000,0001. sterling), 20,000,000 florins are to be
applied to railways ; 25,000,000 florins to the with-
drawal of paper money; and 15,000,000 florins to
the repayment of the Bank of its credit at the charge
of the state. The destination of the remaining
20,000,000 florins is not specified.
There was a brisk demand for foreign bills this
afternoon, and the rates declined in several instances.
Short Paris remained at 25.271 to 30, with not much
doing, but three months' bills were in demand at
25.45 to 471. Antwerp and Brussels were a shade
lower at 25.471 to 521. Amsterdam being
in great request, and the market but
scantily supplied, the rate declined to 12
florins for three months' paper. Hamburg was a
shade lower, at 13.81 to 9, and Frankfort at 1201 to
121. Bills on Italy, Spain, Portugal, and St. Peters-
burg were dull at previous rates, with the exception
of Naples, which found takers at 411. Palermo and
Messina were very heavy at 123, being considerably
in favour of buyers. A sudden improvement oc-
curred in Austrian paper, Vienna being quoted at
11.44 to 48, and Trieste 11.46 to 50, but the transac-
tions were not extensive. Yesterday, a large
amount was negotiated at 11.40, in connexion, it is
believed, with the pending loan. Our usual list of
the prices negotiated is subjoined :

The price of gold yesterda7 at Paris was about
1 per mule prem. (new tariff rate), which, at the
English mint price of 3!. 17s. 103 d. per oz. for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.191 ; and the
exchange at Pans on London at short being 25.271,
it follows that gold is about 0.318 per cent. dearer
in London than in Paris.

By today's advice, the price of gold at Hamburg
is 420! per mare, which, at the English Mint price
of 31. 17e. 10. W. per ounce for standard gold, gives
an exchange of 13.31; and the exchange at Ham-
burg en London at short being 13.0 t, it follows that
gold is 0.233 per cent. dearer in Loudon than in
Hamburg.
According to the last accounts, the course of ex-
change at Now York on London for bills of sixty
days eight is 1101 per cent., and the par of exchange
between England and America being 109 23.40 per

Icent., it follows that the exchange is nesuinally 0.92
per cent. in favour of England. After making al-
lowance for difference of interest and charges for
transport, we find that the presentotate 'caws a
small profit on the importation of gold from the
United States. Shipments of silver will probably
also come forward.

land fur the week ending Saturday, the 4th of

There is nothing unusual in the aspect of these
returns, but the inference to be drawn from them is
that the money market was rather tighter. The in-
crease in the Treasury payments, and "other" secu-
rities, which latter item chiefly represents the dis-
coact of bills, and the decrease in the "other" or
private deposits, aro accompanied by a decrease in
the reserve to the amount of a quarter of a million.
The fluctuation in the stock of bullion is trifling.
