Consols have continued during the morning at
911 i- for the Account, and 921 for the next Ac-
count, consequently no speculations have been go-
ing forward up to the present hour. The Foreign
Market is in the same state of stagnation ; the only
transaction was in the Imperial Brazilian Mining
Shares, which have fallen Al. per share, supposed
owing to accounts being received from Rio Janeiro
of the sth Sept., stating that the Brazilian Sessions
closed without reducing the duty of the Imperial
Brazilian Mining Company. Exchange on Lon-

According to accounts of the United Mexican
Mining Company, there appears to be a deficiency
of the five weeks preceding the 25th August, of
about 10,0001. It is reported that a brig of war has
sailed from the Havannah for Tampico, with
250,000 dollars; it is also said that an expedition
was preparing there of 3,000 men, to reinforce the
Spanish troops at Tampico.

THE CORK CONVICTS.—A reprieve for eight
days went down, we understand, last night. It is well
that the executive should hesitate in this case, and ponder
well whether three men should be executed on the same
evidence that acquitted two others outright, and half ac.
quitted many more.—Dublin Morn. Register, Thursday.

A correspondent has called our attention to
the great saving of horses' food from the general introduc-
tion of steam•conveyance on our great thoroughfares. The
mails from Edinburgh to London, we suppose eruploy
about 150 horses ; and if we asinine that these constitute
1-200th part of the cattle plying on the road, we have
30,000 horses employed en this one line, the grain con-
sumed by which would probably support 120,000 men.—

A lightning-rod maybe rendered fully efficient
by making it penetrate deeply into water or damp earth;
by burying the horizontal part of it ; by covering it with
ashes from an oven instead of charcoal imperfectly car-
bonised ; and by directing a stream of water towards the
subterranean part of the conductor. It may be proper to
[lda, that for powder magazines it is prudent to erect the
lightning rod on a mast beside thetn.
We are authorised to state that a paragraph
which appeared in a contemporary Paper, stating that a
Commission is about to be issued for revising the Liturgy
of the Church of England, is incorrect. If any Commis-
sion is about to be issued it will be for revising the practice
of our Ecclesiastical Courts.—Exeter Flying Post.

RECIPROCAL FORGETFULNESS. Captain
of this port, who had been from home about a
year and a half, wrote to inform his wife that he had ar-
rived in London, and intended to be at Barton, where he
wished her to meet him on a certain d ty, which he named.
The lady was punctual to the appointment, and so was the
captain. They met at the Waterside Ho:el, but, strange
to say, did not know each other. At length Mrs. It--X
became restless and impatient, frequently going to a win-
dow and " peering out" in the direction of the London
road. This the captain observed far some time in silence,
but at last ventured to ask her if she were waiting for any
person. ." I expect my husband, Captain will
be here every iwant," answered the ; Blesa.m!"
exclaimed he, " why then you arc my wife, but way I be
keel-hauled it' I knew your colours." The result of the
discovery was, a friendly kis, and mutual congratulations.
