The Manchester Guardian, with reference to a re-
solution of the Liverpool cotton brokers not to take stock
at the pm at moment, says that this refusal is considered
to that there is something to conceal, and that con-
sequently an impression is prevalent that the clock is larger
than it is alleged to be. Accordits to the statements
hitherto circulated, the existing stock most have been re-
duced below a ten days' supply.

GRAND FORESTIRS' DEXONSTRATION.'— (THIS
DAY.) —This morning there was a grand demonatration of
Foresters. habited in the regalia of their order, in Maryle.
bone and Paddington. They assembled in large numbers on
Paddingtoo-green, and then marched in procession to Lanni
Cricket-ground, where they were joined by other benefit
societies, and where all sorts of amusements were provided.
The proceedings were under the patronage of Lord Fermoy
and Mr. Harvey Lewis, the two members for the borough •
and the profits which may arias from the pre will be devoted
to the benefit of Si, Mary's Hospital, in that district.
A SUBSTITUTE Foe Corroe.—On the 28th ult. a
oommunication was published from the legal firm of Phillips
sod Son, of Abchurchdane, stating on behalf of a client that
a material bad been discovered as • substitute for American
cotton, which " possesses not only all the qualities of that
staple. but is capable of being produced in any quantity and
at small expense." The material hes been submitted to the
inspection of Mr. James Hardy Wrigley, of Southport,
who has been " in the cotton trade all his life, though now
retired, and ail a looker-oo," and who reports : • I have
Men the • proposed as a substitute for cotton in
several small specimens, and can speak to its colour, length,
and financed being all that can be desired. The other
quality necessary, vie., strength, I can only speak of by what
was stated, that it is as strong, or stronger than cotton,
that it can be supplied in large quantity, and at a price as
low or lower than the average price of cottoo, which I told
them was about 6d. per lb." The inventor is reedy to make
hie secret public if a committee of ten responsible persons
will parsotee him a certain gam of money.
THE WIGAN Commis.—The strike among the
Wigan colliers seems to have been ended by • timely con-
cession on the part of the masters. At all erects, them
when they announced their determination to strike, seemed
willing to work at the rate of wages they had been receiving
for some time past, and their employers, rather than be se-
cresory to the extension of the existing destitution in Wipe,
have abandoned their scheme of reducing that rate. There
can be but little doubt that, under these circumstances the
colliers will be wise and return to their work. —Mandeeter

The half-yearly accounts of the Grand Trunk
Railway of Canada have been issued, together with
the following circular from the London directors,
which speaks for itself. The high rate of the work-
ing expenses continuesto form a remarkable feature :
21, Old Broad-street, London, EC,, Sept. 5, 1862.
Bir,—l am desired by the London directors to forward
you herewith copy of the accounts as they have just been
received from (Asada for the half-year ending the 30th
June, 1862. It will be seen that the total revenue ,
amounted to 362,992/. 12a 10d., and the total expenses to
319,556!. 9s. 5d., or at the rate of 831 per cent.
The profit upon this half-year, added to that of
the previous six months, makes the profit for the
year ending 30th June, 1862, 159,1441. ls. lid.
Mr. Watkin, at the request of the board, and at considerable
inconvenience to himself, sailed for Canada on the 23rd
ultimo, and on his return to England, which will be, it is
hoped, in the comae of October, a further report upon the
negotiations as to the postal arbitration. and upon the
measures taken in obedience to the resolutions of the pro-
prietors at the meeting held on the Bth ult., for the re-or-
ganisation of the board and management, will be issued.
By the reports received from Mr. Brydgee, the new manag-
ing director, great hopes are held out of important reduc-
tions in the present rate of working expenses, which he
states are quite exceptional and capable of being greatly
reducedi have the honour, ire., JOHN M. GILL" Sec.

The Soutbsea (FortsmOuth)Pier Hotel Company
(Limited) is announced. The capital is 60,0001.,
of which the first inane is to be limited:to the mode-
rate sum of 30,0001., in shares of 5/. each. It is
intended to erect a first-class and fire-proof hotel in
the now fashionable and increasing town of South-
sea. The site selected faces the sea, and is pecu-
liarly eligible, and a conditional contract has been
entered into for its purchase on favourable terms.
From its proximity to the military and naval esta-
blishments, the railway, and the new pier, as well
as to the Isle of Wight, it is urged that thel hotel
will be much frequented. The direction is re-
spectable.
The following somewhat remarkable notice, re-
latingto the disabilities of married women, ban been
received by the Stock Exchange from the Secre-
tary of the Brighton Railway Company :
I beg to inform you that, in accordance with the opinion
of counsel recently taken, transfers in the name of a married
lady, or including, jointly with others, tbc name of a married
lady, cannot be registered by this company. I shall be
obliged if you will officially publicity to this letter.

silk ; the Saturnus, with 242,800 lbs. of tea and
898 bales of silk ; and the Hydassab, with 608,000

The steamer Minna has arrived at Liverpool
from Nassau, with 1,064 bales of cotton.
Large quantities of breadstuffs continue to be
received at Liverpool from the United States.
The arrival% on Friday alone comprised 600,000
bushels of wheat, 38,000 barrels of hour, and 90,000
bushels of Indian corn.
The facts recorded in the annexed extract from a
New York journal received on Saturday are re-
markable, and are likely to have an effect upon the
exchange:

clusive of specie, from the port of New York to tongs

This export, falling but little abort of three kn dol-
lars, will swell the aggregate outward movement of
domestic produce for the month of August to the unprece-
dented figure of fourteen millions of dollars—that is to say,
fully double the average export of August in the old prow
porous times, when the chief article we sent to Europe was
cotton.

SATURDAY EVKIIING.

Consols, which closed yesterday at 93} to 1 for
the Bth October, opened this morning at the
same quotation, touched 931, "buyers," and closed
at 931, " sellers." For money the last price was
931 t 0,4. The official business report is as follows :
Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 93k, ; ditto,
for account (Oct. 8), 931, ; Three per Cents.
Reduced, 92 ; New Three per Cents., 911, 921,
92 ; India Stock, 230 ; ditto Five per Cent. Stock,
1091, 109 ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1863,
101 ; ditto Bonds, 275. prem.
The India Five per Cent. Stock continues in
demand, and has agam risen k per cent., closing at
109 k to I. India Bonds were quoted 275. to 30s.
prem. ; the June Exchequer Bale, 208. to 235.
prem. ; and the March 17e. to 20s. prem.
In the foreign stock market the pnncipal altera-
tion was a fresh fall of about k per cent. in the
several classes of Anglo-Turkish Bonds, owing to
the competition of the consolides, combined with
a rumour that interested parties are still endea-
vouring to get arrangements made for payment of
the dividends in London. Italian Five per
Cents. were well supported. Mexican rose
per cent. Russian Bonds continue to
meet with some inquiry. Spanish Passive are in
increased request, as the firm position of the holders
in regard to the Spanish government became better
understood.

The closing quotations for shares in new under-
