MuRDER eT LIEK:FoRb.—A girl named Horgan dies
yesterday, morning in the Infirmary at Hereford, from
injuries inflicted upon her by some navvies on Saturday
night. Tiles° men, while in a state of intoxication,
went to a disreputable part of the town, and, having
entered a house there, burst open a door on the second
floor, pulled a woman out of bed who had but recently
been confined, dragged her down stairs and kicked and
heat her. They then got forcible entrance to an adjoining
house, kept by the girl in question. They seized her,
and not only beat her with their fists, but with a rolling-
pin. A crowd assembled on the alarm being given, and
the men attacked the police who came to apprehend
them and escapel Five of them, named Ford, Wilson,
Williams, Scott, and Smith, were subsequently appre-
hended, and the police are in search of two others who
are known to have formed Bart of Cm gang. The in-
. .

jured girl gradually got worse till yeeteiday, when she
died as above stated.
Ma. WARLEY AND THE PAROCHIAL AUTHORITIES OF
ST. PANCF.AS,—Yesterday, at a numerous meeting of
the parochial authorities of St. Pancras, held hi the Yes-
try-hall, King'irroad, Camden-town, Mr. B. Bright in
the chair, Mr. Eirchtuore, the relieving officer, pro,ented
a rep,:rt, prepared by order of the board, on the subject
of an inquest which was concluded on the 18th Septeth-
bcr on the body of ttA 6hlA nAnied Edward
Johnson, when, although a verdict of natural death was
recorded, the coroner, Mr. \Vakley, had attributed
want of proper attention on the part of the paro-
chial authorities. This —report having been read, the
meeting, after some discussion, unanimously adopted the
following t---" That in the
.opinion of this board the con-
duct of Thomas vrciaci' fu f Middle-
sex, during the inquiry into the cause of the death of
Edward Johnson, an illegitimate child, vas uncalled for
and highly reprehensible." Tois, said Mr. Stockton,
was the mildest way in which they could express,to Mr.

Wakley the indignation they felt at his unkistifia:ble at-
tack upon the characters of honest and independent men.
Tneefiattat Addnitzet—A few nights ego, during
the representation of the Nom Voutiennes, at the
theatre of Marseilles, one of the actors, named Deire,
in a melee on the stage, received a severe stab in the arm
from a poignard, which, unfortunately, was not one of
those usually made Ind of in stidli rtlitiliC warfare, but a
real weapon. The performance, however, was not in.-
terrupted by the accident, for the actor, in the agitation
of the moment, did not peroeive the accident until he
had retired from the stage, when he found himself bleed-
ing profusely, and soon after fainted. The wound was
immediately dressed by a surgeon, and Desire conveyed
to his lodgings. At the close of the performance, a re-
port of the recelalent heving o t Abroad in the house, the
manager Was Celled onfor.an explanation, as the Wounded
man is one of the particular favourites of the public at
Marseilles. The Marseilles journals have since stated
that the actor just named is going on so well that the
wound at preset t causes no disquietude.
MURDER Or A SWISS SOLDIER AT CANfERDTIR7.—
Emanuel Elsner, a Swiss soldier, belonging to the
tish Legion, now lying at Canterbury Barracks, was
yesterday brought before the Mayor and magistrates of
that city, charged with the wilful murder of Jobnn Boch,
a private in the same corps. appeared from the evi-
dence of the Witnesses that suoftly sifter 0 o'clock on
Sunday evening, while the drummers and fifers were in
the infantry barrack square, the deceased proceeded
across tho stpeare, and took up one of the drums. The
prisoner went op to him, alid emne words passed between
them, resulting in deceased's putting doWil the drum and
slapping the prisoner's face several times. The latter
stepped back three paces and took something out of hie
coat pocket, which he appeared to open, and then went
up to the deceased and jobbed it into hie breast several
times, while the latter kept striking prisoner with his
fists. After going, on a litdo Way tovearde the barrack
room the deceased fell down, and while he Was on the
ground the prisoner stabbed him in the belly two or three
times. Deceased was carried into the barrack-room
prisoner assisting in his removal), where he died in about
three minutes afterwards. It we's moonlight at the
time of the affray, but two witnesses, spoke positively to
the prisoner's identity as the man who stabbed deceased.
The deceased's mat Was exhibited in court, and excited
a thrill of horrer, there being no leas than eight cuts on
the body and one on the sleeves. The bench, after a brief
consultation, remanded the prisoner till Thursday.

COLLIERY'ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF FOUR LIVES NEAR
BLACKBURN.A shocking accident resulted on Monday,
at the Stanhill Colliery, Oewaldtwistle, near Blackburn,
from the breakage of a rope. The accident took place in
the Moss Coalpit, belonging to Messrs. Simpson and
Young. About one o'clock four men got into a tub
for the purpose of °being lowered to the bottom of the
shaft, and just as the last of them took his place one
of the folds of the rope coiled round the rerticle, gave
a sudden Al'p, and the jerk snapped the rope in two
close to the fa stoning of the tub. The result was,
that the tub and men were precipitated down the pit,
a depth of 103 feet, and the unfortunate men were
killed almost instantly. It is said that there was a
guard to prevent the rope slipping, but the men had
neglected to apply it, and hence the accident. The
names of the unfortunate men are John Townley, raged
31 years ' • James Townley, aged 28, both of Stanhil ;
Richard Thompson, aged 33 years, of Os waldtwistle ;
and James Hindle, aged 38, of Lattas.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE ESHER 1111RDLE WORKS,
WESTMINSTER.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Langbam
held an inquiry at Westminster 'Hospital, relative to
the death bf Daniel Shay, aged 26 years. It appeared
that the deceased was employed at the Esher Marble
Works, Westminster, in removing a very large block of
marble on a truck, when one of the wheels struck a
piece of stone, causing the block of marble to slip and
fall to the ground, crushing the deceased's left hand be-
neath it. The unfortunate man's hand was dreadfully
mutilated, and he was conveyed to the hospital, where
it was found necessary to amputate one of the fingers ;
tetanus, or lock jaw, resulted, and from its effects he
ultimately expired. Verdict, " Accidental death."
THE DANGER OF BROACHING A. WHISKY CASK. —Four
of the North British Railway Company's servants are in
custody for theft. The watchman at Leith Junction and
another offieial are two of the guilty parties. One night
'lst week they proceeded, in the dark, to broach a cask
a waggon. The watchman, to facilitate the boring
?rleees, placed his lantern close to the cask. Unluckily
it contained aqucevitte. Whea the barrel was perforated,
the whisky rushed outeand iguited at the lantern, pro.
dacing a conflagration which destroyed the waggon and
the whole of the goods in it. 01143 of the men was much
burned.

L ATE T i.E

BERLIN, TUESDAY NIGHT.

It is known here that the discontent in Poland

and the Ukraine has risen to a very serious

height.

The successive calls fur enlistment have almost

deprived those parts of Russia of the young and
able-bodied men, as was severely felt during the
recent harvest.

A Government survey has been ordered, to
know whether Poland can furnish sufficient corn
for the supply of the army during the next cam-

paign.

It is thought that the result of this inquiry
will greatly influence the clecision.of the Russian
Government as to the continuance of the war.
The accounts received of the retreat of the
Russian army from Sebastopol are credited by
the military men here, as the Opinion is that the
garrison of the northern part would soon have to
surrender at discretion from want of supplies.

PARIS, OCT. 2.

Two division; one French and one English,
occupy Sebastopol.
The army of operation, under Marshal Fells-
sier, will take the field. General Simpson and
General La Marmora will hold dcfeinive posi-
tions.

The fleet haws received orders for importa

operations.

The allied forces are fall of confidence.

ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 27.

Owing to the scarcity of brandy, required for
the use of the army, the Government has ordered
its admission free of import duty to the Govern-
ments of Ekaterinoslav, Kherson, Taurida, and
Bessarabia.

MADRID, OCT. 1.

The Queen arrived yesterday. The Cortes

THE WAR IN THE EAST,
(From a Correspondent of the Morning Post.)

CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, SEPT. -la

Whilst sealing my letters for the post this morn-
ing I was astonished by such a salvo of guns that
I almost doubted my senses, and believed the old
siege work stillin hand ; I then imagined the Russians
were firing on the buildings taken possession of
yesterday by the Buffs. I, however, sent away my
packet to the mail bag, and hastened to ascertain the
cause., intending to try and despatch a supplemen-
tary budget ; but, after riding to Cathcart's-hill, I
found all by that time quite quiet, and it was not
until much later I found it was but a salute in
honour of the French Admiral, promoted. The effect
produced by the now unusual sound aroused &great
many, but most believed it to be from the opposite
side of the harbour, but they do not as yet molest
the new occupants of Sebastopol, although the
•French continue to throw shells at the new works
they are making from the mortar battery-established
close to Fort Nicholas. Some excitement was created
to-day in the second division, by an order to be in
readiness to take the field, which was unexpected,
as it was believed it and the light divisions would
not move ; but it was now, it wouid seem, more a
precautionary measure than otherwise, and that
the 3d, 4th, and Highlanders, if any, will be the
force ; even the day is named by some (the ap-
proaching Saturday), but, of course, all is mere
hearsay; it serves to keep minds employed, whilst
largo parties are busily engaged making preparations
for the winter, such as improving and draining the
railway, and repairinc, the roads into Sebasto-
pol. The weather.to-day has been very fine, and
while it is so, it is the timo to do all that is to be
done. Three out of five iron stores are erected in
the front, which are to form a depot for commis-
sariat supplies, and, if possible, everything should
be brought up requisite for the winter's consump-
tion. It, of course, depends much on the Russian
arrangements on the north side whether available
portions of the town will be used as quarters. The
situation alone would be preferable to the heights
for the winter as in any circumstances a great por-
tion of the army will be under camp.
. SEPTEMBER 19.

Every moment of time as we approach towards
to-morrow, the anniversary of our first victory is
recounted by many of the original campaigners from
the middle of the last 19th September, when our
first shots were exchanged with the enemy, and
when we remember the nights we were then spend-
ing with no other shelter than a greatcoat or blanket,
the contrast of the weather to what we are now
experiencing is very striking. The season is as dif-
ferent as possible, and now much like what it was
when the wet first set in November last. I men-
tioned yesterday as a fine day, which it was, but
quite unlike last September, and this morning
broke upon us cold and cloudy, threatening rain,
which has come in earnest since 3 p.m.—steady,
drenching rain, which promises to continue all
night. Congratulations that trench work is ended
are many and frequent, and anticipations of taking
the field, accompanied by prayers for fine weather.
Medals have been sent to each division for distri-
bution to-morrow. •
SEPTE3IBER 20.

Another dreary, wet: day. During the short
intervals between the shower, however, many
regiments, paraded for the distribution of medals,
and cheers were to be heard far and near as
the first reward or. acknowledgment for long-
tried and gallant conduct was received. That
medals have their good effect no person can doubt,
but that something more appropriate than the fac-
simile of a crown-piece could not have been de-
signed is surprising, or better taste displayed than
the choice of such a milk-and-water ribbon. A
tricolour ribbon, with a device in the centre, would
have been handsome, and at the mine time com-
plimentary. Numerous small parties ha-veto-night
been formed, and those who shared together last
year the discomforts of a night's lodgings on the
battle-field, have to-night dined on such luxuries as
the Crimea affords, celebrating the victory of Alma,
and hoping to do so in years to,come under "'apple':
and brighter circumstances. The sounds of bois-
terous mirth that are now to be heard, at a some-
what late hour, proclaim that some feel inclined to
keep it up till morning, and that rejoicing is con-
fined to no particular rank.
SEPTEmi3En 21.
The Buffs, the present occupiers of the portion of
Sebastopol in keeping of the English, are under
orders to return to the 2d division, and the artillery
of the siege train to take their place. As the Rus-
sians remain busily engaged on the north side, it
may be deemed advisable to bring some guns into
position, in case 'the enemy should make a rash
attempt to revisit the town. The bridge by which
the Russian army retreated is to be seen carefuhy
pulled up on the opposite side, and numerous large
boats being repaired and got ready for use. This
may be a blind, or it may not, and their real move-
ments are as little known or understood as our
own. Several shells have been to-day fired at the
quarters occupied by our troops. Onr rockets have
apparently made some good practice at the north-
ern forts and new earthworks, whilst the French
mortars have also continued their fire. News
reached us to-day of the actual march of a large
body of Turkish infantry and French cavalry from
Eupatoria in the direction of
report says our 3d, 3d, 4th, andSlalpheropol, whilst
FLY!'land divisions
are to approach tho heights at Mackenzie's farm,
and the French move uy qs the Baidar-pass. How far
this is true I cannot say •
na
the 1"
greatest reason to
doubt its reality is its being known. The fleet, or
a great portion of it, is, ordered to be outside of
Balaklava harbour to-morrow, for the purpose, it
is believed, cf embarking troops. We have to-day
heard of the hononis conferred by the French and
English Sovereigns on General Pelissier. It is said
that when he saw the tricolor planted on the Redan
he Alt ! voila mon baton." The
mails are now looked for with much interest, which
dailyincreases, and will do so until accounts of the
reception the great news met with at
_home, and
the Gazettes, that anxious hundreds are looking
for, arrive. There has been a great improvement
in the weather to-day, and the night* now very

beautiful moonlight, and milder than we have . for
omo time experienced.
General PeJissier has been made a Marshal of
France, and has received from her Majesty t tie
Grand Cross of the Bath. Of the latter order 3 le
seems exceedingly proud, and ho has• on sever a/
occasions signed his name " Pelissier, G.C.8."
General Simpson has not yet received any dee( ;
ration or honour from home, but the Emperor 4 )f
the French has conferred on him the rare distin J•
tion of the Grand Cross of the Legion of B.onou r.

THE CRIMEA.
The taking of the inventory of material aba
at-
cloned by the Russians in Sebastopol progress es.
Nearly all the forts have been found capable of )
pairs without any considerable expense. The alli :es
still suffer loss from the fire of the northern fort :a,
but they reply to the enemy's fire vigorously.
General Gortschakoff has sent several comm try i-
cations to the allied generals, the nature of w Lich
has remained a secret.

A letter in the Semaphore de Marseilles, tc•ou
Sebastopol, of the 18th, says :
"On Sunday last a Te Deem, was sung in the thre e
French corps d'arma"e. The Marshal and his staff wa
present at that of the Imperial Guard. The weather
was at times cloudy and cold, but during the mass ths s
sun shone out brightly. The regiments composing tht
Guard were drawn up in an oblong square, one of the
sides of which was occupied by the altar. At the mo• •
meat when the officiating priest recited the prayer for
the Emperor, the cannon mixed its voice with that of all
the persons present, and sent its echoes. as far as the
enemy's camp. The troops afterwards filed off before
the Marshal with that Assurance and that martial ait
which success always gives to soldiers."

THE WAR IN ASIA.
TREBIZOND, Sept. 13.—Omer Pacha, after step-
ping two days at Platana (distant about a league
from Trebizond), where stress of weather compelled.
him to put in, arrived in our roads on the 10th.
The Generalissimo landed an hour after the arrival
of the Ottoman steamer, the Chopper, which
brought him, and, accompanied by the Count de
Meffray, his aide-de-camp, repaired to the go-
vernor's palace, where he received the visits of the.
Turkish authorities and the consuls. The nes &
morning he left, after returning the visits of th er
consular body.
According to the information I have been abi )
to procure, Omer Pacha's troops will have collectet
at Batoum in ten or twelve days' time ; we venture, .
to hope they will arrive in time to save Kars.
According to the latest news of the Bth from
Erzeroum, letters of the 2d from Kars confidently
stated that the garrison defending that place had
still some provisions left. Now, a scarcity of sup-
plies would alone be sufficient to bring about a.
catastrophe. But there is one peculiarity in the
climate that may at any moment compel the Rus-
sians to retire from Kars ; it is the possibility of a.
heavy fall of snow at the environs of the fortress.
The latest letters from Erzeroum, dated the sth
inst., inform us that Hafiz Pacha is using every
effort to once more collect some bands of Bashi-
hazouks. The cholera had almost entirely left the
town.

FRANCE.
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.
Opinions continue still divided as to the next
proceedings of the Russian army in the Crimea.
One well-known strategist thinks that they can
very'well maintain themselves at Bakshiserai and
Simpheropol. Another authority believes that
they may do so for a month or so, as they have
provisions for that time, but that before then pro-
positions of peace will be made by Russia through
,Prussia. These, however, can be only vague con-
jectures, which a few days more may see realized
.or contradicted.

By a decree of the 29th ult., published in the
Moulton-, the Emperor has promoted General
Dulac to the rank of Grand Officer of the Legio n .
of Honour. General de la Motterouge and Co
Noizet de Saint-Paul to the rank of Commander. .
The Moniteur publishes 24 names of officers an .cf
soldiers nominated to the Legion of Honour in co) 3_
sequence of their wounds, and 91 names of so,l_
diers who obtained the military medal.
The English steamer Calcutta left Marseilles on
Sunday for the East, having in tow the Eliza trans-
port of 1,800 tons, with troops and stores on board,
for the East.

The Napoleon, French war steamer, left Toulon,
for the Black Sea on the 29th ult., having troops
on board for the army of the East, and 248 prim
sonars of war to be exchanged.

The fete-day of the Emperor Napoleon was cele-
brated with great pomp at Teheran on the 15th of
August. On the morning of that day the high
functionaries of the Persian government visited M;
Bouree, as the bearer of the Shah's expressions of f
personal friendship towards the Emperor. Thf
members of the diplomatic body, and the Euro •
peans in the Persian service, also paid their revectr ;
to M. Bourde, who afterwards gave a splendid en
tertainment. A display of fireworks closed thf
festivities of the day.

Sir Charles Hotham has kept himself singularly
aloof from any interference in the matter—not, I

and since then lie has avoided any public assembly.
The governors of the other colonies have originated

JAMAICA.
We have received our usual file of papers from
this island, but they contain no important intelli-
gence.

The appointment of Sir William IVlolesworth 814
Secretary of State for the Colonies was generally
considered as an inauspicious one. The colonies
are at a loss to imagine the qualifications which the
right hon. baronet has ever exhibited for an office
which requires some acquaintance with the internal
government of these distant appendages to the
Crown.

Commodore Henderson, R.N., struck his broad
pendant as second in command on this station, on
Saturday, Sept. 1. He is succeeded in this com-
mand by Commodore Kellett, who has hoisted his
broad pendant in H.M. screw frigate Termagant
Re was entertained in the city of Kingston, pre-
vious to his departure, by a company of merchants
and other inhabitants ; on which occasion the fol-
lowing address, to which was appended numerous
signatures, was delivered to the gallant commo-
dore ;—.

"" Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. 7, 1855.
TO COMMODORE T. RENDERS N, &c.,
" Sir,—We, the undersigned merchants, bankers, and
other inhabitants of the city of Kingston, cannot allow
yen to leave this station without tendering to you an
expression of our regret for your early departure from
a command in which you have succeeded in securing to
80 large an extent the respect and confidence of the com-
munity.
" We owe yen also a debt df gratitude for the careand
solieitude you have at all times shown for the protection
and support of the limited commerce which in these days
remain to a port once justly considered the depot of the
wealth of the western world.
"That Alm Henderson' and yourself may be spared
for a happy meeting with your family at home, and
that a merciful Providence may extend its blessings over
yourself and your household is our sincere and ardent
prayer."

To which Commodore Henderson replied as fol-
lows
"Date Tree Hall, Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. 8,1355.
Gentlemen,—lt is most satisfactory to me to receive
se gratifying a testimonial, from the community of mer-
chants, bankfrs, and others of the city of Kingston, of
the esteem they have expressed for myself, and the little
I have had it in my power to do in support of the com-
mercial interest of Jamaica.
"It has always been impressed on my mind, from
officer,
that earliest perception 'of the duties of a naval
that next to a careful attention to frustrate the move-
ments of the enemy is the protection of the commerce
..of
his country, and although that of Jamaica has been di-
minished for a time, from unavoidable causes, I hope
and trust that the period is not far distant when, from
the 'desire generally manifested by the distinguished
members of the committee to promote education and in-
dustry, the natural productions of this beautiful island
will be advantageously developed, whether by its fibres
or its almost innumerable productions, and I almost hope
should it be my good fortune to have the honour of ser-
"le"lg amongst you again, I will find your efforts, under
guidance of an all wise Providence, have been crowned
with success.
" I now beg you will accept my heartfelt thanks
for the kind wishes you have expressed for the welfare of
myself and family, and you have my sincere and earnest
Prayer that every success and prosperity may attend you
and the mercantile community of Kingston.
"THOS. HENDEPON, Commodore."

COMMEP,OIAL lI:TTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLomr.
The Liverpool cotton market, yesterday, closed
heavily,and prices of Americans were 1-16 d. per lb.
in favour of the purchaser. Surats were without
change. Common Maceio was -Id. per lb. cheaper,
but all other descriptions were unchanged. The
sales were 6,000 bales ; 4,000 of which pere Ame-
ricans (500 for export); 80 Pernam and Maranham,
at .50. to 7id. ; 100 Bahia, at 61d. ; 30 Egyp-
tian, at Bd. to 9d. ; and 2,000 Surat, at 3id. to
41d. per lb. The Rail Way Share Market was quiet,
at a decline on Monday's prices.
Accounts from Western Australia report satis-
factory progress in public works, and an estimate
of the expense of constructing a jetty abreast of
Pearce's Farm, Fremantle, had been submitted
to Government, which it was believed would soon
be executed. The profits of the Western Austra-
lian Bank during the half-year enabled it to pay a
discount of 6s. 3d. per share upon those shares not
paid up in full, or as dividend at the rate of 121 per
cent. per annum on the paid-up capital.
The money.market to-day has been easy as far
as discounts are concerned, and the demand is mo-
derate, but on the Stock Exchange there is still
full employment; the report that the Bank of France
had decided to put up its rate of discount not
being without its influence. In the meantime, how-
ever, besides the gold on its way from Australia,
we have had the Magdalena from Mexico. All the
gold by the last Australian arrivals has been taken
away for the Continent, but we must not confound
this with any fresh operations, because it was pur-
chased as soon as its arrival was announced by
telegraph off the coast. The foreign exchanges
wore firm again yesterday afternoon.
For public securities the market continues ex-
ceedingly heavy, and although at our present writ-
ing it is better than it opened, there is a'want of
elasticity which has been conspicuous almost .con-
tinuously during the last fortnight. The primary
cause is the superabundant supply of stock emanat-
ing from the bankers and ()Viers, who can find more
profitable employment temporarily, or even better
paying investments. The public, we lia've reason
to believe, are quietly coming forward to make their
purchases, induced as usual by the lower rates cur-
rent, but this is yet in the aggregate insufficient to
absorb what the banks put upon the market. The
question very generally asked now is, can the bank
have much more to sell, or where does the stock
come from if it does not emanate from that esta-
blishment ? Wo must take into consideration,
nevertheless, that 70 per cent. on the 16,000,0001.
loan has already been paid up, and is, therefore, so
much more added to the debt available for dealing.
It may be that a large number of subscribers re-
tain it, but the fact is precisely the same, because
they are prevented from coming into the market
as buyers, as it is reasonable to infer they would
have been compelled bad the loan not been
created, to have bought in the open market.
Consols have been done for money as low as
87k, but since have recovered to 88/, at which
improvement a bargain is officially marked. This
is the best example that can be given of the unset-
tled state of the market. The account prices have
been 88 to 88k, and are now 881 k. For Exche-
quer Bills the prices have been 3s. discount to is.
premium, and for East India Bowls par to 6s. pre-
mium. Exchequer Bonds are at 99.
The Market for Turkish Bonds is disturbed by
the heaviness of Consols, and the Old 6 per Cents.
are about 1 per cent. lower, but the prices are
fluctuating. After being first marked 85 they
have sunk to 84k /. The New Scrip is 21 to 1i
discount being also affected. French Scrip is 1
premium only. Spanish Passive are 5. Dutch 23/4
per Cents. 64k 1. Ditto 4 per Cents. 93i ex divi-
dend. Portuguese 5 per Cents. 492. Peruvian
41 per Cents. 751, and ditto 3 per Cents. 55.
Mexican are 21i being bettor.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 18 to 20; Mexi-
can, 213/4 to 21i ; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., 75 to 77 ; ditto Three per Opts., 55 to 57;

Five per Cents., 97 to 99 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half

The North-Western Railway, during the last
three months, has earned 30,0001. more, saved
10,0001. in expenses, reduced its daily mileage
about 1,000 miles, and otherwise improved its posi-
tion.

By sympathy with the funds, most of the prin-
cipal railway shares are drooping, and eTen Great
Northern, though now }to per cent. better, aro
not so buoyant as they wore after official hours
yesterday. The improved prospects of this
company might have led to the expectation
of a further improvement, but this is pre-
vented by the inactivity of the market, and
the indisposition of parties at the present
moment to invest in these securities. Great
Western rule firm, and also Midland. East India
Extension are heavy, and Northern of France are
down about Paris and Lyons are scarcely so
firm. Great Central of France are *-
better.
Great Western of Canada are steady.
Shares,
There are but few dealings in Mining
and Banks are weaker. Canada Laud are fully
31. cheaper.
