The English Railway Share Market has been
lower again, and sales are pressed. French Shares,
however, are well supported.
The Old Trewether Consolidated Mining Com-
pany tried their new 20-horse steam-engine on
Thursday last, at the factory of Medwin and Hall,
in Blackfriars-road. It has been built by that
firm expressly for that company, and its use will
be a novelty to miners. It is firmly placed upon
wheels, and its portability will allow of its being
removed from one locality to another with perfect
ease. The consumption of coals is small, and,
with improvements in the construction of the flues,
which will be effected when the engine is on the
mine, that expenditure will be materially lessened.
The company will have it at work in about a month
from the present time, when the operations on the
old antimony lode will be resumed. The former
adventurers profited 50,0001. in two years from the
lode, and at the present price of antimony, which
is 451. per ton, this company stands in a fair posi-
tion to realise a similar result.
The Mining Share Market has been very flat
again. Joint-Stock Banks are heavy. Land Com-
panies' Shares still recede.

COURT CIRCULAR.

BALMORAL, SEPT. 7.
Her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the
Prince of Wales, and Prince Alfred left Holyrood Palace
yesterday morning at a quarter-past eight, and travelled
by railway to Cupar Angus, where carriages were in
readiness to convey them by the Spittal of Glen Shee to
Balmoral, where they arrived at a quarter-past six.
In attendance were the Duchess of Wellington, the
Hon. Mary Bulteel, the Earl Granville, the Hon. Col.
Phipps, the Hon. Col. Gordon, Sir James Clark, and
Mr. Gibbs.

At Holyrood Palace her Majesty was handed to her
carriage by the Marquis of Breadalbane and Major-
General Napier, commanding the trcops in Scotland,
and escorted by a detachment of the 7th Hussars.
The Duke of Hamilton had the honour of dining with
her Majesty at Holyrood Palace on Monday.

Her Majesty drove yesterday to AbergeldieSEPT with his
Royal Highness Prince Albert.
The Royal dinner party yesterday included her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Kent, Count Alexander Mens-
dorff, and Lady Augusta Bruce.

Dispatches were sent yesterday from the Colonial-
office to the Governor-General of Canada, and the Go-
vernors of the other North American provinces. Dis-
patches were sent on Thursday to the Governor of Hong
Kong, the Governor of Malta, and the Lord High Com-
missioner of the lonian Islands.

The Duke of Cambridge, after reviewing the cavalry
at Portobello, joined the Duchess of Cambridge and the
Princess Mary, who arrived on Tuesday afternoon from
Eglinton Castle. The Grand Duchess of Mecklenburgh
Strelitz also reached Edinburgh on Tuesday, and will
proceed, with the distinguished visitors we have men-
tioned to Taymouth Castle.
The Duchess of Wellington, on closing her term in
waiting on the Queen at Balmoral, is expected to visit
her noble parents, the Marquis and Marchioness of
Tweeddale, at Hester House, near Haddington.
Viscount and Viscountess Canning have sailed from
Torbay on board the Fair Rosamond, yacht, on a cruise
off the coast of Scotland.

The Right Hon. Lord John Russell arrived at the
Queen's Hotel, Glasgow, on Wednesday evening.
THE BRAEMAR GATHERING.—The Braemar Highland
gathering comes off on Thursday, the 15th current, and
it is expected that the Queen, Prince Albert, aad the
Royal family will honour it with their presence.

RATING THE MUSEUM OF PRACTICAL GEOLOGY.--It
appears that the government, to whom this institution
now belongs, has objected to pay poor-rates, but have
offered a bonus in lieu, and a question arose at the
vestry meeting of St. James's parish yesterday whether
they could accept that alternative ? This, on being put
to the vote, was decided in the negative, and conse-
quently the parish will in future insist upon claiming
the rates.

Da SOAP PLANT.—The Vienna journals announce
that a firm of California has sent home to that city
some seeds of the soap plant. It grows wild in Cali-
fornia, rising to the height of about a foot. The plant
fades away in the month of May, and inside of each is a
ball of natural soap, superior, it is assured, to any that
can be manufactured.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken
for export and on speculation. The market closed
heavily. Railway Shares were again depressed, at
lower prices.
The balance sheet of the Bank of England made
up to the 3d inst. is particularly interesting, be-
cause it includes the period when the minimum rate
of discount was advanced, and partly illustrates
that measure. The bullion had fallen off to a
greater extent than ever, and the demand for dis-
counts was much increased, while the deposits of
private parties, as well as the amount of Govern-
ment securities held, was reduced. It is not im-
probable that this movement is in a great measure
due to the preparations made by those who appre-
hended a renewed application of the " screw," and
as far as is known bullion will for a time continue
to be . taken for Russia and China. Very large
supplies of grain have, however, been already paid
for, and the completion of harvest is advancing
under more favourable auspices. The activity of
our general foreign trade is, therefore, the main
present cause of money being in request, but the
uncertainty connected with the Eastern question
aggravates the matter, and induces hoarding on
the continent. Compared with the previous week,
the changes are as follow :
