" REVISED CONDITIONS OF PRIME RATE.

"All goods under that rate, if landed on or after the
Ist August, 1854, if delivered by water, are subject to
the charge of wharfage and shipping.

"See the Court's order,
" Mr. Woon. " W. JOHNSON.
This new charge of wharfage and shipping might ha in
the Court's order, but certainly it was not iii the revised
rate, nor was any notice of it given to the public.
It is understood that the directors of the different
dock companies, who on ail occasions act in ombina-
tion, have consented to re-consider this charge.
The advices by the steamer Europa notice some
improvement in stocks, but we apprehend this was
merely excited by orders from England to buy.
Money in
.New York was still in demand, and
specie was being freely shipped to Europe.
Less
is said about the crops, but rain had fallen.
The market has been firmer for English Securi-
ties, but still with an exceedingly limited business
doing. The accounts from the Black Sea are con-
sidered favourable as far they go, but speculators
refrain from action until some more dlfinite intelli-
gence reaches: Consuls have realised 95 to 9511f0r
transfer, and 95# 4. Exchequer Bills have been
quoted Gs. to 9s. preen; again. Bank Stock for ac-
count has been at 214. The Exchequer Bonds of
1858 have been at 991, and those of 1859 are 991.
The Foreign Securities have been merely nomi-
nal. Spanish Converted are 4i, and the Turkish
Scrip has been done at 3i to 3i premium. Not
a bargain has been in the other bonds.

The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 to 6.12 ;
Mexican, 242 to 25 ; Peruvian, 70 to 72 ; ditto
3 per Cents., 51 to 53 ; Poituguese 4 per Cents.,
40-to 42 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 98 to 100 ; ditto
41. per Cents., 87 to 89 ; Spanish New Deferred,
181 to 18! ; ditto 3 per Cents., 371 to 38 ; ditto
Certificates, sto 5 ; ditto Passive, 4to 4f.

The Railway Share Market has been rather live-
lier, but the quotations do not move up to any
extent. South-Eastern are rather good ; and
Great Northern, East Lancashire, Caledonian,
Bristol and Exeter, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and
Midland are rather better just now than at the
commencement of business this morning. The
foreign lines are quiet, at the previous rates.
In the Mining Market there is greater animation,
but the business done has been generally at the
former rates. The Joint-stock Bank shares are
steady. Crystal Palace have not been much de ilt
in, and remain nearly as before. Peninsular and
Oriental Steam are higher.

THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION.—LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 22
A. crowded soiree last evening brought together the
townspeople and the visitors to chat upon the prospects
of the meeting and admiring the objects of interest which
bad been provided for them inspection. The large area
of St. Georges Hall, now unencumbered with seats,
afforded ample space for the promenaders, and for a col-
lection of models, each of which bad its expounder and
its curious groups of spectators. Criticisms upon the
obi.cts of science scattered about here and there were
largely mi, gled with admiration of :he vast hall in which
the soiree took place. Dr. Wesley kindly volunteered
to display the capabilities of the organ, so far as they
can be judged of from its present incomplete state.
