TO TEE EDITOR OP TILE LIPREBB.

SlR,—With the ground benetitted considerably
by the copious rain that fell on Friday night and on Sa-
turday, the great expectations that had been formed of
the autumn campaign at Newmarket are in a fair way
of being realised. At any rats. the First October week
will be an unusually busy one, the extraordinary number
of strange horses that have arrived upon the scene being
" a thing to talk about." The only celebrity that has yet
to present himself is Moslem, who may arrive Ur time for
the St. Leger on Wednesday ; but if not, there is a
fair chance for Cleat des Bataille3 or Birdreeker,
the latter a decided glutton, and the Voltigeur an improv-
ing sort of gentleman. The Granby is one of the many
"open" race,, in the programme, the beat to stand being
Poinsettia, who ran "green" at Doncaster; but unless the
Duke of Beaufort should run a great horse in the Hackett-
ham to-morrow, there will be the Duke of Newcastle to
"plunge' upon for the Biennial Sweepstakes, with Tema-
dos in his interest ; and Micas being here for the Twentieth
Triennial, it is only a question of his being fit enough to
beat Nyanra. the pick of his opponents. Thursday's
card shall be discussed to-morrow, and the only hint I can
give concerning the October Handicap as yet is that
Matthew Dawson's stable ought to produce the winner.

A St ENE ON BARROW ISLAND. Yesterday
morning, about nine o'clock, Mary and Flizabeth Smith,
da ughtera of Mr. William Smith, Harrow-in-Furness, went
to Lathe in Walney channel, at the back of Old Barrow
Island. In a very short time Elizabeth was heard by her
sister calling aloud for hclp, and the latter, on looking
round, saw her disappear ay if in a pool, while one of the
waves of the advancing tide swept over the place where
the had been. Presently she again rose to the surface,
and Mary, while shrieking for assistanee, endeavoured to
rem l and aid her, but found it so difficult to retain her
Looting, that her ert•rcts were in vain. A young man,
named Richard Camitield4 who was in a field on the
neighbouring farm, plunged into the surf, mailing the
young lady, who was in tic greatest danger, just as she
men to the surface for the second time. He sewed hold of
her by the hair, but this had boon bound in a net, which
came off in his hand. Ilia neat effort wan more successful,
as lie grasped the ',tart of her bathing-robe, and way thus
enabled to drag her in safety to the shore. Tire other
sister also suireedoil in reaching laud, and by her ()Korb.,
seconded by those of Canfield, Fairnletla was moon able to
return home.-- Minwhester Examiarr.

ONE O'CLOCK.
A stronger tone prevails in the stook markets
then. was the case yesterday. The fundshave im-
proved a point, and railways, more especially
Midland", are firm in consequettoe of the treeing
agate provingsood, while the abundance of money
le p great that It. is thought a portion
Of the 'applies may be attributed to them invest-
ments. The foreign market, Sheller a shade
weaker than at the opening, is (morally firm, a
decidedly improved feeling having resulted from
the satisfactory character of the observations ad-
dressed by the King of , Prussia to the
Hamburg Bourse. As to Spanish stooks present
impressions, though necessarily vogue, indicate
some confidence that the rising will not be disad-
vantageous to the credit of the country. Business
is still quiet, but out the whole the number of
transaction' is slightly increasing.
The supplies of money are far in excess of the
immediate demand, and rates are without varia-
tion at 14 to 11 per oant.
Consols are quoted both for money and account.
at 94 to 4; and New and Reduced Three per
Cents. have been dealt in at 924. Indian Five per
Cent. Stock is quoted at 1141 to 4; and the Ten-
and-a-Half per Cent. Stock, at 214 to 216. Ex-
chequer Bills, 16s. to 20e. prem.
Railway stocks show considerable firmness,
and the dealings in one or two descriptions
Lave been rather animated. Midland has been
chit fiy in demand. Transactions have taken
place in this stock at 1114, and the present
quotation is 1111 to 4. Caledonian stook is a
shade flatter than at the close yesterday, the quo-
taticn lx ing 69 to 1. Metropolitan is quoted at
1061 to 107, and tho Extension stock at 101 to 4.
Great Wekern, 491 to 4; South Western, 87
to 89; Great Eastern, 381 to 391; Brighton,
52 to 4 ; South Eastern, 774 to ; Chatham
and Dover, 174 to IR. The Indian lines are steady,
East India at 1074 to 1081; and Great Indian
Peninsula, at 1074 to 1081.
American railways aro steady. Atlantic and
Great Western Debentures, 371 to 381; Consoli-
dated Mortgage BondP, 381 to 381.
A moderate amount of business has been done
in foreign stocks, the general tone of which is
good, though not quite at the best. Brazilian
Fire per Cents., 1865. 754 to 76; Chilian Six per
Cents., 934 to 944 ; Egyptian Seven per Cents. (1864),
66 to 07 ; Italian, 1861, 504 to 4; Mexican, 144
to 15 ; Peruvian, 78 to I ; Spanish Now Three
per Cents. have been dealt in at 312 to 32; and
the ',learnt quotation is 31: to 32. No change of
importance has taken place in Turkish stock".
Honduras, 87 to 88.

An advance of f, to 3 per cent. has taken place
in United States 5-20 Bonds, which are now
quoted at 72: to I.

Russian Five per Cents. of 1866 are quoted at
92 to 93; Nicolsi Railway, 661 to ; Orel Vitebsk,
Is3l to Z; Moscow Jaroslaw, 31 to prem.
In colonial government securities investments
have taken place in Canadian Six per Conte. at
104 ; in Queensland Six per Cents., at 1081; and
in Victoria Six per Cents., at 113.
The dealings in hank shares are unimportant.
London Joint Stock, 31i ; Imperial Ottoman, 1 to
1 prem.

Anglo-American Telegraph, 202 to 21 ; Atlantic
Eight per Cents., al to 4 ; Telegraph and Con-
struction, 16 to I.
In miscellaneous securities National Discount
shares are quotod at to I, and Hudson's Bay,
14Z to 15.

FOUR O'CLOCK.
Consols are without alteration at 94 to e, both

Spanish Bonds show some recovery, the New
Three per Cents. being now quoted 321 to :.
Italian Five per Cents. have advanced to 51k to
; and Turkish Five per Cents. to 381 to 1.
An improved feeling has been produced through-
out the Stock Exchange by an advance on the
Paris Bourse, where the Three per Cent. Recites
opened this morning at 68fr. 63c., being per
cent. higher than yesterday afternoon.
As regards railways the advance is less distinct.
Metropolitan stock is flatter at 106: to 107, and
Brighton has fallen to 511 to 1 ; Midland, how-
ever, is higher at 112 tq and Great Western at
44 to ;A:1.

About 175,0001. in bar gold has been sent into
the Bank to-day from abroad.

Within the last few days there have been
offered in this market a number of Five per Cent.
Brazilian Government Internal Bonds, forming
part of a total, it is said, of about 3,000,0001. or
4,000,0001. The issue of this debt in Brazil is one
of the means by which the government provides
itself with funds to meet the present heavy strain
upon its resources. The dividends are payable in
Brazil, not here, and the bonds themselves are
repayable in gold by a sinking fund of 2 per oent.
The price spoken of as being sought here, how-
ever, is not by any means of a nature to tempt
investors, regard being had to tho quotations now
current fur those loans which possess the advan-
tage of having their dividends payable in London.
About 15.000/. in gold was sent into the Bank
yesterday from abroad.
The Stock Exchange committee have appointed
Thursday, the 24th instant, a special settling day
in the Perpetual Four-and-a-Half per Cent. De-
benture Stock of the Brighton Railway Company,

committee have also ordered the new 101. shares,
186$, of the North London Railway Company to
be quoted.
The half-yearly meeting of the Pernambuco
Railway Company is convened for the 22nd of
October, when a dividend is to be declared.
The half-yearly meeting of the Great Western
Railway Company of Canada is called for the 21st
October, at the London Tavern.

The traffic receipts of the Cape Railway Com-
pany, for the month of Jnly, were 3,0931., against
2,!)691. in July of last year.

The following is from the report of the directors
of the Crystal Palace District Gas Company
(Limited), to be presented at tho half-yearly
meeting on the 24th inst. :
The directors have to report the satisfactory of
the oompanv's business during the half-year. The pro-
fits for the half-year are 6,466/. 6a. Id., which together
with 280/. 13s. 941., the unappropriated profit of the pre-
ceding half-year, make the available balance 5,7364

dedaration of a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per
annum on the preference capital ; a dividend at the rate of
7 per cent. per annum on the ordinary 7 per cent. capital ;
