CLERICAL WIT.—At the excursion to Arran of
the British Association on Thanday, the smoothen ware
ferried from the steamer to the shore, at Brodiek, in host.
load+. One of our moot popular and least portable qty
clergymen had got into one of the boats, and a reversed
brother seemed reluctant to follow, lest the boat should be
overloaded. " Come away." said he in the boat, " tams Is
still room (or you and no danger, provided you have woe
of your sermons in your pocket."7Daily Mail. _

DISTRESSING DEATH PROM CHOLERA.—The Huff-
dervilfd Examiner says:—" There hes been during the
week a considerable amount of painful excitement iu this
town and neighbourhood. in comequenee of the sadden
death front cholera of Mr. and Mrs. W. Leigh Brook, of
Mel:ham Hail. They left home in perfect health about a
month ago, having fired on a tour through Germany. Mrs.
Brook, it appears, wee attacked by cholera while at Frank-
fort on the Maine, and died there. Mrs. Brook was in her
usual state of health on Sunday last, as, we believe, she
attended divine service in the English Church on the morn-
ing of that day. Next morning (Monday), at half-put five,
she was a corpse. fibs was interred the same day. Mr.
Brook seems to have left immediately, on his way home,
and had reached Cologne, where he was attacked by cholera
durinz the day on Wednesday, and expired about nine
o'clock in the evening.
80TH STIRLING MILITIA.—A local paper reports
that this regiment, which has already given more men in
proportion to the line than any other Scotelt militia regi-
ment, took • very Decided step on Monday last. Upon
parade, a large portion of the men simultaneously stepped
out of their ranks and took a station a pace or two in ad-
vance. When asked by the adjutant what this meant, they
replied that they wished an opportunity to volunteer fur
foreign service. When seat day the case was formally laid
before the officers of the regiment, they also consented, and
thus the corm, in all but a formal acceptance by the mili-
tary autharities, stands ready for foreign service.
FELINE ATTACLIMENT.—Eightern months ago, an
officer of a vessel bound from Greenock for Melbourne got
a cat from a family residing in Greenock, and took it to sea
with him. The easel was wrecked on the coast of Ireland,
but the crew and pmeengers were all mead, and managed
to get their luggage ashore. The officer leaded his cat in
safety, leaving it at • farmhouse near the place where the
vessel was wrecked. The astonishment of the family to
whom the cat belonged may be imagined when, many
months after the shipwreck, it walked into their residence
in Greenock. How it managed to Sod its way thither from
the Emerald Isle is a mystery.—Scofsman.
HORSE RACING QUESTION.—An interesting ones-
lion arose at Perth races last year, as to the Ladies' elate,
value 76 sovereigns. The condition attached to the prise
was that, before it became the absolute property of any
competitor, it should be won on three successive meetings.
Mr. Redfern had won it by his horse John Dory, Ia 1862,
by a " walk owe," and in 1863 be was declared the winner
against some competitors. He came forward again in 18.54;
and no e they harm appearing to contend for it, John
Dory walked over, and his owner claimed possession
of the plate under the condition of the race handbill.
The stewards refused the plate. Mr. Redfern then of-
fered to refer the question to the Jockey Club, or any
acknowledged authority connected with the turf. This the
stewards also declined, holding that they were the sole
umpires of any dispute. Mr. Redfern, in them &mum
stances, presented a petition to the Sheriff of Perthshire
against the stewards sad secretary of the race meeting, to
compel its delivery to him. The ease was pleaded before
both sheriffs at great length by the agents for the respective
parties; and, without touching the question on the merits,
the eye bee been thrown out, on what is called a prelimi-
nary plea, the sheriff holding that it is not a case which,
under the law of Scotland, can be taken cognisance of by a
civil court. _ .

NETLat ABBEY.—Last week the fall of fielmatopol
was celebrated by a greed pyrotechnic display en the mag-
nificent raise of Netley Abbey, situated close to Southampton
Water, and afterwards the whole of tee rains were beauti-
fully illuminated. The effect was grand in the extreme.
Could the old °mai who lie buried there have risen from
their graves, writes a correspondent, none more than them-
selves would have rejoiced at the disolays of Salon energy
and valour which were then befog ealebrated in their abbey.
ALARMING ACCIDENT TO Ma. LIDDELL. M.P.—
The owners of Crarelington colliery having been making
alterations ea the bridge which divides their waggon-way
from Percy Main end the Fir-tinte, the bridge had been
Weed between two and three feet in height, rendering it
necessary to heighten the level of the turnpike read for a
considerable distance on each side of the bridge. However,
ea
the north side of the road, close to the bridge, where it is
very high, no hues had been placed, and, on Wednesday
night last, at 8 p.m., as Mr. Liddell'e coachman drove aloes
the road, the carriege fen over into a hole, and the horses
dragged the carriage with great force down the unprotected
embankment. The coachman was thrown into the ad-
joining field, and two ladies and Mr. Liddell were buried
beneath the carriage. Fortunately the oosehrean was able
to hold down the heads of the horses until Mr. Liddell and
the two ladies were extricated—one of the latter was very
severely hart. The carriage was completely broken, and
the harms severely injured.—Seineleriend Times.
MILFORD AND WATEBIORD.—It ill said that the
deed of agreement between our railways and the great rail-
way Cowponies in England, for the purpose of putting
steamboats to ply between Waterford' sad Milford, is being
signed and perfected. We hem that Cork is doing all In
its power to procure this line of steamboats for their own
ceconsmodatioe, het we believe that they will be doomed to
dile nOcin !amt.— Waterford Noes.
The Western Railway Company of France, now in
possession of the Vertainee (Right Hank) railway, is having
all the old rails taken up on that line, and new ones of
greater weight end solidity pat down in their place.
A crowd of people were assembled on the 17th
around an Image of the Virgin incise of the streets of Miles,
@haunting hymns with an accompaniment of music. A nu-
merous party desirous of enjoying the been* at their ease,
obtained SCOW to a balcony opposite; but they had been
there but a few minutes when the balcony gave way, and
9..5 perms were precipitated into the street. Two of them

MONEY MARKET-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoox.

The English funds have fallen per cent. today,
sales being pressed. Consols were maintained
during a portion of the morning at the closing
quotations of Saturday, but have since receded to
89/ to for money, and 891 to 90 for the 12th of
October ; India stock hes been dealt in at 228 to
230; Exchequer Bonds at 991 to 100, and Exchequer
Bills, le. die. to 31. prem.
The foreign stock market is flat. Turkish Six per
Cents. have fallen to 891 to 1, and the New Four per
Cent. Guaranteed Scrip to / toy die. Peruvian
Four-and.a•Half per Cents. have been dealt
in at 76/ to 771 ex div.; Spanish Oid Three per

We have at length some considerable arrivals of
the precious metal from Australia. Intelligence wasre-
seivedou Saturday of the arrival of the Frances Renty,
from Port Philip, whence she sailed on the 30th
Jane, with 98,000 oz. of gold and 32,000!. in sove-
reigns. These dates are about ten days later than
those previously to hand. The Northumberland hes
also arrived from the same port, whence she sailed
on the 13th June, with 63,148 oz. of gold, and
20,5001. in sovereigns. These two arrivals represent
a total of no less than 697,0001. sterling, which,
however, will not be in hand until a few days hence.
The other arrivals previously reported last week
comprised 16,747 oz. of gold by the Boomerang, trom
Port Phillip; 6,354 oz. by the Lady Wharocliffe,
from Sydney; 1,870,000 dots. by the Tamar, from the
West Indies and Mcnirot 2.000 oz. of gold by the
Ethiope, from Africa; 370,551 dole. by the Pacific,
from New York ; besides further supplies of silver
from the Continent.

The aggregate arrivals of last week are thus raised
to no less than 1,240,00 W., of which 785,0001. is in
Australian gold. This enormous arrival in a single
week is almost if not quite unprecedented.
The shipments have also been upon an extraor-
dinarily extensive scale. The Custom-house state-
ment of the exports direct from London includes
22,344 os. of gold and 6,800 oz. of silver, represent-
ing a total value of about 88,0001., despatched chiefly
to Hamburg. The particulars are annexed, viz. :
Gold coin: To Boulogne, 280 oz.; to Belgium, 2,400
oz.; to Hamburg, 12,170 oz. Gold bars : To Ham-
burg, 6,882 oz.; to Belgium, 612 oz. Silver coin :
To Rotterdam, 5,000 oz. ; to Boulogne, 1,400 oz.
Silver bars: To Boulogne, 400 oz. The other ship-
ments officially reported to us comprise 486,0501. (of
which 31,5854 was gold, and 451,4651. silver) by the
Nubia, for Alexandria and the East; 48,2151. by the
Iberia, for the Peninsula; and a few hundred pounds
in specie by the La Plata, for the West Indies.
The aggregate ascertained shipments of last week
are thus raised to about 623,0004, chiefly in silver.
An accurate estimate cannot be formed of the sums

in gold withdrawn from the Banklast week, but
they are known to be very heavy.
Subjoined is a statement of the railway calls falling
due in October, so far as they can yet be ascertained.
The total calls for the ten months of the pre-
sent year are thus raised to 11,726,522/. against
12,072,0651, in the corresponding period of last year,
and 9,083,8011. in 1853 :

Steam at 14/ to 141 ; and New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia Land at 23 (SI. paid).

SATURDAY EVENING.
The English funds opened at a decline of I per cent
this morning, owing to the unfavourable Bank re-
turn. Subsequently a recovery to the final range of
yesterday took place, but the market was dull in cha-
racter. The knowledge that the drain on the Bank
bullion continues exercised a depressing influence.
On the other hand, the enormous arrivals of Austra-
lian gold reported below will tend to allay anxiety,
as they will at least servo to meet the Continental
demand.

The discount market tc•day presented features
similar to those noticed during the last two or three
days—viz., an active demand for money, coupled with
a good supply. The rates are tally equal to those of
the Bank of England.
At Paris to-day the Tbree per Cent. Rentes closed
about 1 per cent. better than yesterday. The Vienna
money market exhibits more unessioess,the exchange
on London having risen from 11.3 to 11.6. The pre-
mium on silver is also higher, at 161 per cent.
Consols opened at 90 to 1 for the 12th October,
and closed at 901 " buyers." For money the final
quotation was about 90. Business was very dull.
The official list of actual transactions is as follows,
viz. :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 90, 891,
901; ditto, for amount, 12th October, 901, 90, 901.
India Stock, 228; ditto, for account, 230. India
Bonds, lbs. p-ens:

Exaeque; Bills were rather firmer, at is. to 4s.
prem. Exchequer Bonds were quoted 001, to 1001.
Notwithstanding the money pressure, the extreme
variation in the price of Coaso.s this week has been
only Ito 1 per cent. The market closed to-day
per cent. lower than on last Saturday.
The foreign stock market continues dull. Turkish
securities showed heaviness this afternoon, owing to
the approach of the settling. The Six per Cents. had
receded at the close to 901 to t, and the scrip of the
new Guaranteed Four per Cent. Loan to to k die.
French loan scrip has declined to 11 to 1:1, premium.
The demand for gold for exportation continues ac-
tive. Yesterday a large quantity—it is believed be-
tween 200,0001. and 300,0001.—was withdrawn from
the Bank, and to-day further parcels were taken.
At Amsterdam yesterday (Friday) the exchange
on London was quoted 11.821, at short; and at
Hamburg, 13.41.

THE ZOLLTEREIN.—A letter from Berlin states
that the different goveranisnfa of the Zollnreie have
acceded to the application of Prussia to prolong to the end
of September, 1856. the permission to export core, and that
this &gigot will be soon published officially.
Professor Ernest Reinhold, son of the celebrated
German philosopher of that name, and himself a
markable man, died an Jena last week, in his 82ad year,y
