Colonial produce has been taken to a moderate
extent this week, and prices for most staples have
been supported. Coffee has been well held, stocks
being small, and Plantation Ceylon is wanted.
Sugar has been at steady rates, selling fairly for
present requirements, although the stock is 20,000
tons larger than at this time last year. Russian
produce has been heavy. Manilla hemp is lower,
but the good qualities of St. Petersburg are held
more firmly. Pimento has been steady, and rice
rather dearer. For tea the demand has been better
sustained, and full prices have been current.
Cotton has been rather inactive.
The New York advices are unfavourable as re-
gards the condition of the Stock Market. The
heavy specie shipments, amounting in a week to
nearly two millions of dollars, were having a seri-
ous affect upon financial affairs. In foreign manu-
factures the dealings were limited, and prices un-
altered. Freights were dull. A reward of 5,000
dollars had been offered for the arrest and delivery
to the proper authorities of Robert Schuyler, who,
it will be remembered, took the principal part in
the fraudulent over-issues of New Haven Stock.
Several vessels had arrived from Nova Scotia with
British American products, in the expectation of
no duties being charged on their cargoes ; but as
these colonies have not yet passed the requisite
laws ratifying the reciprocity treaty no such re-
mission could be made.

There is no elasticity in the Stock Market, and
the disappointment relative to the Sebastopol affair
is more sensibly felt even than might have been
expected. Consols have realised 94; to 951 for
Transfer, and 95 to 951 for Account. Exchequer
Bills are 4s. to 7s. premium.

There have been a few transactions in Foreign
Stocks. Peruvian 4i per Cents. are quoted 71f to
72f, and Venezuela 33/4 per Cents. 241. Spanish
New Deferred Bonds are lower, being 18k. Dutch
2i per Cents. are 62 to 624, and the 4 per Cents.
92k. Belgian 4 per Cents. have been dealt in at
93. The Turkish Scrip has receded to 2i and 3.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5i to 61 ;

3 per Cents., 51 to 53 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents.,

18k to 181 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 37i to 38 ; ditto
Certificates, 5 to 5t ; ditto Passive, 4k to 44.
There is a dull market for Railway Shares and
prices tend downwards. The foreign lines are ne-
glected.
In mining, banking, and miscellaneous shares
the dealings are unimportant.

In consideration of the possibility of our fleets in the 2g
White Sea and the Baltic being driven towards the 5
rugged shores of the Shetland Isles, the Government 20
determined to exhibit lights on the eastern and northern
points of Shetland. We (Scotsman) are glad to be able 100
to state that the Commissioners of Northern Light-
houses have now succeeded in establishing these lights, 100
which are of a temporary construction, in order to 1.0000
meet the emergency. Owing to the remoteness of 100
the situations, and the necessarily short time that could
20
be devoted to the preparation of the lights, the utmost 100
exertion had to be used to bring the works to a suc- 20
cessful issue before the close of the present season. 5
The lighthouse towers were made of logs of timber
and rubble masonry, and the lanterns of iron ; and
these, together with the lighting apparatus and machi-
nery, and the iron houses for the light-keepers' dwel-
lings, were all prepared and fitted up in Leith and
Edinburgh previous to being sent off. One of the stations
on which a light has been exhibited is Whalsey
Skerries, a dangerous outlying cluster of rocks and
islands extending about 15 miles from the mainland
of Shetland. But the other and more remarkable work
is the North Unst Light, which is situated on an
isolated rocky islet lying to the north of the Shetland
Isles, and, with the exception of a small outlying rock
called " The Outstack," is the most northern point
of her Majesty's dominions.
The'North Unst Light is placed on a precipitous and
rugged ruck about 150 feet high. The top of the rock
measures about 200 feet by 80 feet, and upon this
limited area is erected a lighthouse tower, and dwelling-
houses, together with water-tank and coal store, the
whole being protected from sea spray and wind by walls
of rubble stone set in Roman cement. So difficult was
the a,:cent to the rock that everything used, including
lime, cement, sand, water, and iron work, &c., of all
kinds, as well as a year's supply of oil, fuel, provisions,
and other stores for the due maintenance of the light,
had to be carried up en the backs of the workmen in
small portions at a time. The landing at the rock, from
the isolated and peculiar exposure of the situation, was
often most difficult, and recourse was had to the system
of conveying a rope from the landing-place to the boat,
lashing it round the article to be landed, which was
lowered into the sea, and hauled ashore to the landing-
place by means of the rope attached to it. The light-
house steamer Pharos did not leave Leith with the men,
apparatus, and implements for this work till the 30th
July, and, notwithstanding the physical difficulties of
the situation, the whole had been completed in about
two months, although upwards of 100 tons of materials
had to be landed and conveyed up the rock in the tedious
manner alluded to. The Whalsey Light was advertised
to be exhibited on the 15th September, and the North
Unst Light is to be exhibited on the 11th October.
Four light-keepers are appointed to the North Unst 5U
Light ; three will be stationed constantly on the rock, 25
and the fourth will have his turn of leave on shore by 20
rotation, when it will be his duty daily to observe the 100
signals made at particular hours each day from the rock, 100
and if a signal requiring assist.anceis made, immediately 20
to proceed to the lighthouse in the attending boat pro-
-20
sided for that purpose.

brought ashore at Pulteneytown harbour on Friday
~s„„ovu
morning, being the second within a fortnight. This i'ni,
fish had become entangled in some nets. It measured
six feet in length, had two rows ofthlargthird e teeth inbei the
upper and three in the lower jaw, row ng
only partly developed, as a portion was still under the
skin. The shark had a large iron hoop round its neck,
just over the bronchial openings. The hoop appeared
100
to have been on the animal's neck for some time, ad
10
s the
neck and throat were chafed by the illCUMbrallee, roun
which the flesh was beginning to swell. The shark
which eith 5
was caught at Stonehaven a few weeks ago had 25
similar decoration round its body, but how er of
