Land is usually sold in Buenos Ayres by the
league or nine square miles, which contains 6,000 acres.
A league of good land will bold on the average about
30,000 sheep. The price of a sheep is 6s. The Glass of
sheep bred in Buenos Ayres will yield about 181 b. of wool,
and when steamed down, about 301 b. of grease. The Ram-
bouillet rain is found the beet for breeding purposes.
ACCIDENT TO JAMES GEIMSHAW. —James Grim-
*haw, the jockey, has met with a serious accident while
driving mat in a pony chaise in the neighbourhood of Upper
Lambourne, accompanied by his wife. The wheel of the
vehicle came in contact with a stone, and was immediately
oserturned, Grimshaw breaking his log below the knee,
his wife fortunately escaping with but a slight shaking.
He was quickly conveyed to the residence of Mr. Saxon,
where be still remains. The leg having been set, the case
is ring on as favourably as could be wished.
REMARKABLE CASE Or HYDROPHOBIA.—A stable-
man in New York was suddenly seised with h►drophobia
on the 14th ult., and died on the 18th, declaring to the
last that he was not aware of having been bitten by a dog.
It is !supposed that as he was in the habit of sleeping in
• st►ble where dogs are kept he m►y have been bitten
without knowing it, or so long ago that it had passed 1
from his memory.

Ax Acrazss's MEMORY.—Not long since, in the
mddenly discovered absence of an actress, in a farce,—
the curtain was just about to rise,— a young lady who had
never played the part was asked to "go on," and she
readily consented. She took the book in her hand, learnt
a few lines at the wings, carried them with her on to the
stage, learned afew more as she went to the back, busy-
ing herself apparently with what was on the chimney-
piece, and came down to the front with what her memory
gathered. The audience were unaware of the feat which
was being performed, and it was accomplished with only
one poor slip.— Condit/I Magazine for June.

AWRY MABIRT.-(77118 DAY.)

OKI O'CLOCK.

The amount of business in the Stock Exchange
to-day is rather limited, but the tendency of most
of the markets is firm. The recent absorption
of stock, the extraordinarily strong position
of the Banks of England and France, and
the abundance of available capital, tend to pre-
vent any important reaction in prices, although at
the late advance prices are naturally more sensi-
tive, especially as regards the English funds,
the speculative " differences upon which on
the operations of the past month are
now in course of payment. No further
failures amongst the speculators for a fall are
expected at the moment, the arrangements which
were carried out yesterday having shown the real
position of most of them. Consols and nearly all
the English railways and foreign stocks are with-
out variation, but some of the banking and
financial shares are a little flatter.

There is no new feature in the discount market,
the supply of money being still large, with few bills
offering. The charge for choice paper is 21 per
cent., being below the Bank The rate
for loans in the Stock Exchange, on English go-
vernment securities, is only per cent.
Consols are now quoted 941 to }, ex div., for
money, and 94} to 0, ex div., for the account
(July 10) ; and the Three per Cents. Reduced and
New Three per Cents., 93g to
The government broker has bought t, -day
13,0001. New Three per Cents., for the Sinking
Fund, at 93g.
In the foreign stock market, Turkish Eon& of
1862 and Spanish Passives have declined f to
per cent., while Spanish Certificates have improved
1. Turkish Bonds of 1862 are quoted 60 to 61;
ditto Five per Cents. of 1865, 34 to ; Greek,
15i to 14 ; Spanish Pasaive,24ll to ; dittoCertifi-
catee, 14 to I ; Italian of 1861, 52 to j ; and
Mexican, 17 to t.
United States 5-20 Bonds and Erie Railway
shares are unaltered, at 72i to 73 and 3t4 to 40
respectively ; but Illinois Central are better, at
784 to 79.
Anglo-American Telegraph shares are without
change, at 18} to it ; while Atlantic Telegraph Eight
per Cent. Preference are slightly firmer, at 4 7-16
to 9-16.

Financial shares show dulness. London Financial
are quoted 181 to 171 dis., being 10s. lower ; Credit
Fonder, bi to ok di,., showing a decline of 2s. 6d.;
International Financial, 11 to li dia. ; General
Credit, 1i to n dis.

Several of the Bank shares have been dealt in
at lower quotations. London and Westminster
are quoted 109 to 111 ; Union of London, 44} to
45} ; Imperial Ottoman, I dis. to prem. ; Con-
solidated, 11 to prem. ; and Alliance. 7to 6 dia.
An application was yesterday made to the House
of Lords by Mr. Charles Oppenheim, the creditors'
representative of Overend, Gurney, and Co., to be
permitted to appear by counsel on the pending
appeals being heard. The committee of the law
lords, however, refused to allow the credi-
tors to be represented, as they decided that
the question as to liabilility is purely
between the shareholders and the company, the
creditors having no right to interfere. In this re-
spect the law lords differ in their opinion from
Vice-Chancellor Mains, who not only allowed Mr.
Chas. Oppenheim's counsel to appear and take
part in the arguments, but ordered the Defence
Association to pay all his costa.

With reference to the Atlantic and Great Western
Railway, it is notified that the reply of the directors

ports, and upon which full information is solicited.

Bankers' Cleadag-keess, 6th June, 1867.
The total is unusually large, being ti8,380,0C94.,
against 52,071,000/. in the previous week, but any
hopeful inference that might be them.* deilutsid
with regard to the state ti trade is discouraged
when we bear in mind the exceptional payments in
connection with the Stock Exchange settlement on
Friday last, and with the bills due on Tuesday, the
4th. On the 4th of May the clearances represented
12,900,001.

The weekly return of the Bank of France shows
the following changes :

Coin and bullion — Increase 0,14000
Bills discounted
Covernment deposits Decrease 5,000
Notes in circulation
Private deposits
Advance
The great falling off in the discounts and circula-
tion is calculated to strengthen the belief that the
trade of France is in a very depressed state. Per-
haps the most remarkable movement, however, is
the further increase of no less than 1,140,0001. in the
coin and bullion, by which the total is raise.l to
the vast sum of 34,425,0001., being several millions
in excess of the highest amount ever before
known.

The return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday, June 8, compared wick that for
the previous week, shows the following changed :
Circulation issue 01,806,000 Increase £511,316

The course of the Bank's accounts is still decidedly
favourable. The reduction in the rate of disc unt
to 23 Der cent. has failed to bring any acomsioa of
businesf, to the Bank, as may be seen by the ab-
sence of any increase in the advances on private
securities, and, as the deposits have increased, a
further addition of 287,2231. has been made to the
reserve. Of the increase of 537,0431. in the coin
and bullion, about 387,0001. was received free
abroad, while the remainder represents coin re-
turned from the provinces.
