lIULL, OCTOBER
STOCK EXCHANGE.—The continued gloomy accounts froth
the metropolis and the provinces still prevents any transac'
tions of consequence taking place in our market. It will be
well it the smaller monied interests do not find by delaying
making investments that they have missed their chance, as
it must be evident the large capitalists will soon grow uneasy
and not allow Midlands paying 7 per cent. dividends, London
and .North-Western paying 9 per cent., York and North
Midland 10 per cent., and other good stocks, to remain Doi
at present rates. As to the scarcity of money, much is cause!
by the want of confidence, and the desire of self-protectiou
evinced by bankers and other monied men. The sales eel

A FEMALE VETERAN.—" IN THE BATTLE Or TOll
NILE I WAS THERE ALL THE WHILE."—Most of the gs,:
lant men who were with Nelson at the victory of the

Nile have, with their immortal commander, descended
to the tomb. There are, however, some grey-hesdat
veterans still alive to tell their tale; and we think ita
interest some of our readers to know that there is n,_ti.s
in the land of the living a woman who was in tn,;',
memorable engagement, and there assisted to attend tP„
wounded. She was the wife of a seaman, and was often
noticed by Nelson's favourite, Lady Hamilton, wh,°,°ho
the birth of her child, which took place on boarci
Bellerophon. supplied it with clothing which she hell,o.
had made. One little incident is recorded of Neiswo
with feelings of gratitude by our heroine. When nest
her confinement, the hero of a hundred fights having
ascertained that the doctor on board the ship was nut
experienced in midwifery as he should be, signallen tea

and cares, to succour a woman in her hour of troatoo
