RIO MONEY MARKET.

Discounts continue to rule at 6WrCents., at which
rate there has been rather more inquiry.
Exchange—The transactions have been extensive
without any alteration in the rates, the result of the
supply having been fully equal to the demand for
remittances. The prevalent rate upon London has
been 29d., bills have, however, been negotiated at
29k to 29k, both at 60 and 90 days for direct as
well as for River Plate bills; and British Govern-
ment bills have been passed at 28, at which rate small
sums of private bills have likewise been taken; 29d.
was the closing quotation on Saturday. France, 84c.-
328 and 333 have been the extremes quoted, 328 and
330 the general rates, the transactions having been to
some extent. Hamburgh—Within the last few days bills
to some amount have been taken at 612 to 615.
The united transactions since the departure of the
Tay may be estimated at 340,0001. upon Lcndon, inclu-
sive of 10,0001. taken by the treasury, 500,000 f. upon
Franco and Antwerp, and 350,000 mares banco upon
Hamburgh.
Stock opened at 89 ex div., and has since been sold
at 891 to 0; the last price quoted for Provincial
was 8S t.
Specie—Some sales of Patriot dollars, at doll. 1 770
and 1 780, and of sovereigns at dolls. 8 650. Doubloons
are flat.

Shares—Commercial Bank have been repeatedly
quoted at 625 dolls. (new issue); Steam Packets
shares have been sold at 303 dolls.,ex div.
Freights.—Channel, 50s. to 555.; England, 503.;
United States, 80c. to 100 c.
The laws of the Bank of Brazil have been approved
by the Government. A general meeting will speedily
be convened for the confirmation of the managers and
officers nominated by the directory.

STRANGERS IN THE NORTH.—The north has as
yet received but a thin stream of tourists. The season, so
far as it has gone, has been very dull on road, and loch, and
sea. Steamers that once were crowded at this season with
strangers from the south of Scotland and from England,
now bring along but very small companies ; and coaches
that erst were piled like huge waggons, now gallop lightly
along with mayhap a few bearded visitors from the other
side of the Channel. The aggregate number of visitors up
to this period has been much under those of the last few
years ; but, from the unwonted and prolonged gaities of the
London season, there is still a hope that the period of tou-
rists, if later, may also be more prolonged than usual, and
that the stream so small at thee beginning of the summer
may come in a flood at the close. As we expected, hundreds
who come from other lands to see the Exhibition ventured a
little further than the capital, and a large portion of them
have visited the Highlands, restoring in some measure the
balance so unfavourably depressed by the absence of the
English tourists. Frenchmen and Germans come in
greater numbers than our foreigners, though a few Dutch
and Belgian families, and single Italians, Spaniards, Swiss,
and Americans, have come.—lnverness Courser.
JENNY LIND.—The United States papers state that
Jenny Lind arrived on the. 26th ult. at Niagara Falls, on a
private visit, having previously at Rochester received a party
of six Ojibbeway Indiana, who at her request., sang some of
their war songs,
.and were repaid by the songstress warbling
the Echo and Bird songs. Jenny intended, after giving a
few more concerts, to embark- about the 16th instant for

CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE."
The great interest excited with respect to this me-
morial of the British occupation of Egypt, occasioned
by the inquiries on the subject made in both Houses
of Parliament, will doubtless render the following
particulars respecting it acceptable to the public :
" Travellers who visit Alexandria cannot fail to ob-
serve, on the south side of the great harbour, now called
the New Port, a beautiful obelisk of red Thebaic gra-
nite, or Syenite, covered with hieroglyphics, standing
erect where was once the Cfesarium, or Temple of Caesar,
while near it another similar monument lies prostrate,
and partly covered by the sand. To these relics of a
remote antiquity the Arabs give the name of Mesellet
F arauti, or • Pharoah's Packing Needle,' a term which
is, indeed, applied by them to all obelisks. The tradi-
tions of the later periods of the Roman Empire, and of a
subsequent time, seem to have attributed many objects at
Alexandria to Cleopatra, the world•renowned Queen of
Egypt, and the obelisks in question are accordingly best
known to Europeans as Cleopatra's Needles,' a trivial
designation, possessing as little historical value as that
of Queen Elizabeth's Pocket Pistol,' which is given to
the great gun at Dover. The classical term obelisk' is,
in its origin, not less trivial, if it be true that it is de-
rived from the Latin obeliscus, a diminutive of the Greek
word o'b'Ei,oc, which means, literally, a 'spit,' as indica-
tive of the peculiar form of this species of monument.
" As far as the true history of these obelisks in con-
cerned, which is principally to be deduced from the
monarchs' names sculptured on
.them, they appear to
have been originally'cut at the granite quarries of Syene,
at the first cataract in Upper Egypt, 750 miles from their
present site, by Thothmosis 111. This monarch was one
of the most celebrated rulers of that remarkable country.
We find remains of him in Nubia, at Samneb, at Prem-
mis, and at Amada, proving that his sway extended
even beyond the third cataract. He added also largely
to the great temple of Karnak; and in the sculptures in
one of its rooms he is represented as presenting offerings
to his ancestors or predecessors of eight several dynas-
ties—namely, the Kings of Thebes, of Abydos, of Mem-
phis, of Ethiopia, and of four other divisions of Egypt.
In one of the tombs near Thebes is a painting of a grand
procession of men of the several nations bordering on
the Nile, who are bringing their costly gifts in token of
homage to this king.
" Under Thothmosis 111., who held Upper and Lower
Egypt and Ethiopia, the kingdom of Thebes had
reached its full size. Several later kings may have been
more wealthy and more powerful, and their conquests
may have extended further, but those conquests were
only temporary; and the glories of those later kings
never threw the reign of Thothmosis 111. into the shade.
" The central inscriptions on the four faces of these
obelisks were sculptured by the monarch whom we have
just described. The lateral inscriptions were added by
a King who was, if possible, even more celebrated,
namely, Amunmai Rameses 11., commonly known by
the name of Sesostris, the monarch under whom Upper
Egypt rose to its greatest height in arms, in art, and
in wealth.

" It is unnecessary to do more than allude to the
fabled history of this monarch; but, confining ourselves
to the particulars recorded on imperishable monu-
ments of stone, we find that he finished the palace
of the Memnonium, or Mamunei at Abydos, and also
the temple of Osiris, in the same city; and on one of
the walls of the latter he carved that list of his fore-
fathers now in the British Museum, which is known by
the name of the Tablet of Abydos. At Thebes, besides
adding to the buildings of his predecessors, he erected
a new palace, which, like that at Abydos, was by the
Greeks called the Memnonium.

"In the first court-yard was a colossal statue of him-
self, larger than any other in Egypt, and in the second
yard were two smaller ones, from one of which was
taken the colossal head now in the British Museum.
" The two obelisks of Alexandria likewise have the
names and titles of some Pharoah of later times, by
whom they may probably have been removed to Mem-
phis; but subsequently the Ptolemies, to embellish their
Greco-Egyptian capital, transferred them to Alexandria.
"In the reign of the Emperor Tiberius, when the
Alexandrians completed the beautiful temple to his
honour named the Sebaste, or Canes Temple, which
stood by the side of the harbour, and was surrounded by
a sacred grove, ornamented with porticoes, and fitted up
with libraries, paintings, and statues,—it being the most
lofty building in the city,—they set up in front of this
temple the'two obelisks of Thothmosis and Rameses,
which, like the other monuments of the Theban kings,
have outlived all the temples and palaces of their Greek
and Roman successors.

" These beautiful memorials of two of the most power-
ful and celebrated rulers of Egypt appear not to have
suffered any material injury from the vicissitudes to
which the dominion of those kings have during so many
ages been subjected.''
" From a very early period one of them has been
thrown down from the pedestal on which it stood; but
this seeming calamity has probably preserved its sculp-
tures better than if it had remained on its pedestal, for
its still erect companion, though well preserved on the
sides exposed to the sea, has suffered a good deal from
the beating against it of the land-wind, which blows with
violence and is charged with sand.
" With the exception of the four corners of the base,
where, like the obelisk in the Hippodrome at Constanti-
nople, it would seem to have formerly been held to its
pedestal by four curbes of bronze, the fallen obelisk is
perfect, and its sculptures are in comparatively good
preservation.

" Its length is 64 feet, and at its base it is about 8
feet square; its weight being estimated at about 240
tons.f The obelisk is of great value from its antiquity,
its proportions, and, moreover, as an imperishable me-
morial of British valour.

" After the English were in possession of Alexandria
(as we find it recorded by Dr. Clarke in his ' Travels')
a subscription was opened among the officers of the
army and navy for the purpose of removing the prostrate
obelisk to Great Britain. With the money thus raised
they purchased one of the vessels that Menou had sunk
in the old port of Alexandria. This they raised, and
prepared fur its reception. The work went on rapidly,
the obelisk was turned, and its lower surface was found
to be in a high state of preservation. It was then moved,
by means of machinery constructed for the, purpose, to-
wards the vessel prepared to receive it. Lord Cavan
presided at this undertaking. A naval officer, who was
present upon the occasion, brought over to England the
plans projected for conveying this splendid trophy of the
success of our arms to the metropolis of this country;
and there is every reason to believe the design would
have been accomplished. Its interruption took place in
consequence of an order preventing the sailors from as-
sisting at the work.
" An eyewitness, who is still living, states that about
5,0001. were subscribed by the army, that 300 Sepoys
worked for three or four months in constructing a jetty,
whence the obelisk was to have been embarked ; but
that the General who then commanded at Malta wrote
to the military authorities in Egypt, objecting to the
employment of the troops in such a work, and order-
ing them to suspend their operations. This was accord-
ingly done, and the money unexpended was returned to
the subscribers.

" Though the obelisk was thus left behind when the
British forces quitted Egypt, the idea of bringing it to
England was never abandoned ; and whatever doubts
might have existed as to our right to the possession of a
trophy which had been taken, but afterwards (as it were)
abandoned on the field of battle, were set at rest by the
gift of it made in the year 1820 by the late Mehemet Ali
Pasha to King George Iv.
" Notwithstanding this gift, the obelisk still remained
without any definitive steps being taken for its removal
to England.t In 1830, when the French sent a vessel
to Alexandria to transport to France the obelisk of
Luxor, which is now standing in the Place do la Con-
corde at Paris, and also, as it was talked of at the time,
the one of Cleopatra's needles,' which is yet standing,
the French Consul in Egypt is said to have made the
modest suggestion that, tho English had so long ne-
glected the Pasha's present, they might be considered to
have relinquished it, and therefors it might as well be
taken away in the French vessel which had come for the
other obelisk.' _

" This, however, was not allowed to take place.
Neither have the English taken any steps to acquire
possession of a monument which is the indisputable
property of the British nation, and which, if not re-
moved 11 will doubtless ere long become utterly ruined
and worthless. The stones of the pedestal on which it
stood have been carried away for building purposes;
the obelisk itself has been exposed to many marks in-
flicted by the curious and idlers of Alexandria, and as a
last indignity one end of it has actually been built into
the wall surrounding the port, forming part of the new
fortifications of the city.
" The subject of the removal of this obelisk has often
been before Parliament. On the 2d of June last, in the
House of Peers, the Marquis of Westmeath, at the re-
quest of several military and naval officers, inquired
what steps had been taken for obtaining possession of or
for removing it. His Lordship stated that the opinion
of the late Sir R. Peel, expressed to himself, was, that it
was a monument which ought to be brought to London
and erected as a memorial of Sir Ralph Abercromby
and others who had fought and died in Egypt. The
late Sir George Murray had also stated that he joined
with all his military and naval friends, who desired that
the obelisk should be brought to this country.
" In reply to Lord Westmeath's inquiry the Earl of
Carlisle admitted the importance which attached to the
obelisk, not meroly as a memorial of the ancient art of
Egypt, but also as a monument of British heroism; but
said that ho apprehended there wore some mechanical
difficulties.
" This, however, can hardly be the case, inasmuch as
the obelisk would unquestionably have been removed in
1801, had it not been for the reasons already stated."
As a relic of ancient art, as a memorial of two of the
most renowned monarchs of Egypt, and as a trophy
of British valour, this obelisk is without price.
.11.
allowed to remain in its present state, it will in-
evitably be destroyed, and there cannot exist the
slightest doubt that it is the bounden duty of the
British nation to see to its preservation, which can
only be secured by carrying out the intention of
our
valiant troops half-a-century ago—namely, by trans-
planting it to England. The appropriate site for it

might either be the court-yard of the British Museum,
where it would form a noble addition to the peerless'
collection of Egyptian monuments, of which the
famed " Rosetta Stone," that other trophy of our
occupation of Egypt, forms a part ; or it might, per-
haps, be more appropriately set up in St. shmees..
park, at the back of the Horse Guards.
The expense of its removal could not be great
but, whatever might be its amount, it is certait
when even Mr. Hume has expressed an interest it:
the subject, that the nation would cheerfully incur it.

THE HOLYOAKE STAKES, &c.
(By ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Snt,—Two or three blunders occurred in the list of non
starters in yesterday's dispatch in consequence of the
indecision of the owners at the time of sending it off.
Backbiter, Champion, The Ebor, Elcho, and British Boy
will not start for the Holyoake Stakes. Herbert, I be-,
lieve, is a non-starter, and Ischia is very dubious. ThS
field will consist of Egret, 6 yrs, 7st 101 b, Administrator
aged, ist Mb, Sunrise, 3 yrs, 6st 101 b, and Leap-year'
3 yrs, sst 81b. Another may go, but that is uncertair,
Egret and Administrator will be the first and secoma.
Very little betting on any other events but those about
to be decided. A great deal of talk about Dawson's trio
for the Ebor Handicap; not known whether the horse on
the day will be Maid of Masham, Cyclops, or The
Italian.
The betting last night was remarkable at the West ,
end for its difference from that in the City with respect
to Nancy for the Ebor Handicap. At the former, 5 wig
6to 1 was currently offered against her; in the latter,
any advance upon 7 to 2 was snapped up with great
avidity. Clarissa was in considerable force for the Ce-
sexewitch at 30 to 1, which price could not be obtained at
the close of the evening. The market this morning is
not very brisk, but a moderate amount of very heavy
business has been transacted, at the following prices:—
Holyoake Stakes-6 to 4 agst Egret; 6to 4 agat Leap-
year; 4 to 1 agst Administrator, whose price is
very indefinite, the odds in different place'
varying from 3 to 20 to 1 ; 5 to 1 agst Ischia(

GREAT EXHIBITION LABOURS.—A short time since
(says an Ipswich paper) six farm labourers, named Robert
Bennett, Jonathan Bennett, William Peek, Joseph Woods,
George Hatcher, and John Davey, belonging to the parish of
Otley, started from that place for the purpose of visiting the
Great Exhibition. They walked from Otley to the Ipswich
Railway station, a distance of eleven miles. and arrived there

and walked the rest of the distance; and after
strolling amid the wonders of the World's Fair for upwards
of four hours, they returned on foot to the Shoreditch Sta-
tion. On their way thither, one of their number parted from
the rest, and they had to retrace their steps until they found
him. They then resumed their walk to Shoreditch, and
arrived there in time for the mail train for Ipswich, by which
train they reached the latter place about twelve o'clock at
night. After partaking of some refreshment in Ipswich,
the whole party then started for Otley, reaching their homes
about four o'clock in the morning. Four of the number,
feeling the need of sleep, betook themselves to their beds,
but the other two, Robert Bennett and George Hatcher, pro-
ceeded at once to their usual occupations, George Hatcher to
carting manure, and Robert Bennett to ploughing ! Thus,
after not less than twenty-five hours' exertion (walking be-
tween forty and fifty miles, besides riding 140 miles), these
two men went through another day's work of no easy
nature !

FIRE AT PECKHAM.—Yesterday afternoon, a fire,
that did considerable damage, broke out in the premises
belonging to Mr. J. Howard, a carpenter and builder, 12,
High-street, Peckham. The flames originated in the
workshops, from whence they spread with unusual swiftness
to the adjoining buildings. Within a few feet of the burn-
ing property was situated a number of buildings belonging
to Mr. Orlan, the chemist, and in order to prevent the con-
flagration from reaching them, several men set to work, and
in a very brief tperiod succeeded in pulling down three of
the same, together with the fence. The fire,
the last expedient was accomplished, had seized upontn

has been brought to the Ipswich County Gaol. He has so
far carried out his avowed intention of starving himself that
he has not taken three ounces of food ; he has lived entirely
on liquids, such as coffee and tea. We understand he will
this day (Tuesday) have an interview with his wife, and
write his will. Atter this lie declares that nothing shall in-
duce him to partake of any kind of nourishment, and that ho
will never disgrace his family by having it said that he was
hanged in front of the gaol. The authorities have remon-
strated with him, and should he obstinately persist in his
intention, efforts will be made to force him to partake of sus-
tenance.—lpswich Express.

COURTS OF QUEEN'S BENCH AND COMMON PLEAS.
—By one of the late statutes (14th and 15th of Victoria,
chap. 41) the salaries of the Chief Justices of the Queen's
Bench and Common Pleas are regulated. Under the 2d and
3d of William IV., chap. 116, the salary of the former was
10,0001. and of the latter 8,0001. a year. From the death of
Lord Tenterden the Chief of the Queen's Bench has accepted
8,000/. a year, and the Chief of the other Court has been
paid 7,0001. for some time. It is now considered expedient

ORIGIN OF TUE NAME OF CHARING-CROSS.—It is
generally known that the name of " Charing-cross,"
originated from the fond epithets bestowed by Edward the
First on his beloved Queen, to whom no less than fifteen
crosses were erected, and from the prevalence of the French
language at that time, Charing being no more than a cor-
ruption of chere Reline, often applied by Edward to his

TONBRIDGE.—Many of the hop plantations present
an appearance of improvement (and doubtless this is
the case to a certain extent), but the prevalence of
easterly wind during the week has had the effect of
checking the growth of the burr, preventing the de-
velopment that we generally experience in this month
when the weather is hot and dry, with the wind in a
fovourable quarter.
OTFORD AND SHORELIAII:—A small proportion of
the hop plantation in this district is progressing very
favourably, and is likely to grow from seven to eight
cwt. per acre.

A LARGE SALMON.—On the morning of Friday
last one of the finest salmon that has been taken in tthe
Tay for several years was caught near the mouth of the
River Earn, six or seven miles below Perth. It measured
3 feet 10 inches in length, 2 feet 4 inches round the middle,
and weighed 461b5., being 1 lb. heavier than a large fish of

(ADVERTISEMENT.] - DlET.—Next to the important
Art which Parr's Life Pills perform in assisting and regu-
lating nature in her varied operations—diet is worthy of the
deepest consideration; it is very clear that man is consti-
tuted in such a manner as fits him to subsist on animal or
vegetable food ; reason therefore dictates that he should,
when it is in his power, make use of this mixed aliment,
taking care duly to regulate the proportion of each. The
bland, invigorating, and life-prolonging power of this miracu-
lous medicine, rightly named "Life Pills," are at all times of
service to assist nature in her varied operations, but in none
are they of greater use than in promoting a natural secretion
of the juices of the stomach and biliary organs, without
which, the whole system soon becomes deranged, and will,
if not immediately checked, induce a train of evils, which
will hasten to premature decay. Never forget that it is far
easier and better to prevent than cure. Sold by If4ssrs.
