rift ANCIENT 01111ZE OP roma:rims'
DZYONBrJArIoIV.—(ySI3 DAY.)

The annual demonstration of the Ancient Order
of Foresters' Registered Friendly Society has during the
het five years been the mesas of attracting more persons
to the Crystal Palace than any other celebration ; and,
judging from the number that had arrived up to neouterdey,
the visitors this year will be more numerous than ever. Teem"
a description of the approaches to London-bridge statics,
the Pimlico station, and the main road, would be mareely pos-
sible. To say the morning looked like a Derby cee would
faintly convey an idea of the sight. As early ea 8 o'clock
immense crowds of well-dreseed persons of both sexes took
up their positions at the London-bridge station, and the
doors being thrown open in the course of a few minutes the
rush became fearful—women screamed, and children cried,
but owing to the admirable arrangensente the crowd
managed to get into the first train and each succeed-
ing one without accident. Before 9 o'clock in
the morning no fewer than 171 carriages, pleasure
vans, and dog-carts bad passed the Elephant and Castle at
Newington, and from that time came vehicles of nearly
every description, from the four-in-hand to the dog-
cart, each filled with company, most of the males being
dressed in the green Robin Hood costume. Flags and
streamers waved from the various vehicles, whilst in many
of the carriages were bands playing lively airs, such ea
" Sold Robin Hood was a forester good," the National
Anthem, kc. How such a number of vehicles, with such a
seat amount of company, can reach the palace without aecti-
dent seems difficult to understand ; but it is hoped that
nothing will occur to mar the pleasure of the day.
The demonstration is made for the purpose of
augmenting two of the most important funds of the
order, via, the widow and orphan, and funeral funds.
This society has, according to the prospectus, over 150,000
members, including members of both houses of
the legislators, clergymen, memben of the bar,
and the working classes. The objects are to provide a

LONDON, TILBURY, AND SOUTHEND EXTEN-
SION RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.)

This afternoon the ordinary half-yearly meeting
of troprietois was held at the London Tavern, Mr. J. N.
DAN! cu. in the chair.

The following report was taken as read The'
total receipts for the past half-year amount to 20,8601.
Is. 7d., and the expenditure to 13,855/. 14e. 4d.. leaving
a net balance of 11,801/. 71. 3d. Compared with the
correeponding period of last year, the balance of the pre-
sent account is less by 141/. lls. 10d. The extremely nn
favourable weather that has prevailed this year has no
doubt had its influence in producing this result. The re-
ceipt. and payments on capital account remain the same as
at the 31st Deember last. Upwards of one humbed of the
new houses at Southend are nearly finished, and will soon
be ready for occupation."
The CHAIRMAN in moving its adoption observed that as
there was no new feature in the report or the accounts he
bad no occasion to detain them with many preliminary re-
marks. It would be satisfactory to the meeting to learn
that there had been no addition to the capital account
during the peat half•year. Considering that this was a line
which depended to a great extent on pleasure traffic it was not
surprising that the cold wet weather which had prevailed
almost from the commencement of the year had affected the
receipts. Every railway that cultivated pleasure traffic had
suffered from the same cause, and when he told them
that upon one line with which he warn connected
wet weather from the Saturday to the Monday
made a difference of at least SOO/. in the week's takings
they might, be thought, be thankful that the result in their
own case was as favourable as the accounts showed
it to be. Last year it was announced by the
board that Messrs. Peto, Betts, and Braaeey, their lamas,
were about to undertake the building of a number of houses
at Southend, and it was gratifying to him to be now able to
state that they had alriady completed nearly one
hundred of these houses, all of which were laid
out in the best style, and planned by Mr. Barry,
the architect, so as to supply the largest amount of comfort
and convenience. There had long been a great want of
such accommodation, and there was reason to hope now
that it was provided that Southend would be-
come one of the most feabionable, as it was now
ens at the most delightful, watering places. The
new steamboat placed on the ferry had given great satisfac-
tion, and had added much to the popularity of this fa-
vourite line. He had only to add that the permanent way
was in a most satisfactory state, and begged in conclusion
to move the adoption of the report.
Mr. J. Wiled' seconded the motion.
A SEMIENOLDIS inquired bow much per cent. had been
the earnings of the past two half-years.
The CHAIRMAN—ads new as I can calculate about 3j per
oat.

TM motion was then put and carried unanimously.
Mr. 0. Sierra propoeed Mr. Chas Wlietham, one of the
anditon of the 131ackwall line, to the vacant auditorship.
The motion was seconded and carried, and Mr. Whetham
having returned his acknowledgments, the usual compli-
ment was paid to the chairman, which terminated the
business.

Two o'Ciocz-
The railway share market today is fairly sup-
ported, although the present quotations are some•
what below those current at an earlier period of the
day. Eastern Counties and Great Northern
stocks have advanced per cent. The other
leading descriptions are quoted much the same as
at 4 o'clock yesterday. London and North
Western is noted 102 to ; Great Western,
72 to ; 126 to 1, ex div., and
ex new shares ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 108
to 1, ex div. ; South Eastern, 891 to 1
Caledonian, 941 to 1 ; Great Northern, 1171 to
1181 ; and Eastern Counties, 541 to 551.
Lombardo-Venetian Railway shares remain dull,
at 11 to 11 die. Grand Trunk of Canada Railway
stock is better, though exhibiting • reaction from
the best point of the morning. East Indian Rail-
way stock is in better demand.

The funds to-day are firmer, in consequence of an
improvement in the weather. Consols exhibit an
advance of 1 per cent. Little business is going
forward. Thu railway share markets are likewise
rather stronger, but the upward tendency is re-
strained by the inactivity of business.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr.
Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rent.r
were quoted 68fr., being about I per cent. better
than yesterday.
Consols are officially marked 93, 921, and
931 for money, and 931 for the account. The
present quotations are 921 to 93 for money, and
93 to * for the 6th of September. The
official business report is as follows —Bank Stook,
2311 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 931, L ; New
Three per Cente” 94, 1, }; Thirty Years' Annuities,
expiring in April, 1885, 161 ; Indian Stock, 2161 ;
ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 1859, 1031, 3 ; ditto
Four per Cent. Debentures, 1858, 961 ; Five per
Cent " enfaeed " rupee paper, 961 ; Exchequer
Bills, Is. to as. prem. •
The foreign stock market is quiet. The
Turkish lean of 1864 is steady, at 731 to
74, and that of 1868, at 60 to 1. Russian scrip
is marked prom. Spanish Bonds are firm.
Sales are recorded as follows :—Mexican Three pee
Cents., for account, 201; Russian Four-and-
a-Half per Cents., 94 ; ditto Four-and-a-Halt
per Cents., 1860 (scrip), prem. ; Sardinian.
Five per Cents., 82 ; ditto for account, 821, t ;
Spanish Three net .a.at5._.401...J., 144 auto
per Cents., 1858, for account, 601.
There was a good demand for money yesterday in
the general market, and 4 per cent. was the lowest
rate. Short-dated paper is taken readily, but as
regards long engagements great caution continues
to be shown. The amount of business at the Bank
was considerable.
Of the 174,5001. by the Agincourt only a
limited amount has yet been purchased for the
Continent, there being little demand. A conside-
rable amount is expected to be taken to the Bank
out of the recent supplies from Australia and
America.
The anticipation of difficulties in the Manchester
and other trades through the impossibility of
selling various classes of goods suitable to the spring
and summer seasons, is confirmed by the announce-
ment of two stoppages. The first is that of Mews.
J. J. Tilley and Co., Manchester warehousemen,
who have stopped payment, with liabilities roughly
computed at 35,0001. The circular issued is as
follows:
7, Gresham-street, London, &C., August. 20, 1860.
consequemee of the embarrassed position of their
affairs, Messrs. J. J. 1511ey sad Co., wholesale warehouse-
men, of Breed-street, Cheneide, have suspended payment
and petitioned the Court of Bankruptcy under the Private
Arrangement Act. With the concurrence of their principal
