7 4 7: N s T 7" 1 1— I r , r _CI AND C02,13/ERC.T.,4 L INT.ELLMENeJE, CITY, nco o'CLOCX The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 7,000 bales, including 1,500 American taken for export and on speculation. The market continued unclringed both in tone and prices. The sales comprised 5,300 American, 300 Pernam and Maranlia,m at 6g.1. to 72d., 40 , ) Egyp tian at SV. to Old., and 1,000 Surat at 3g.d. to per lb. Railway &iares were firm. The Nelson, from Melbourne, left Rio de Janeiro July 25 for Loudon. The Rhoderick Dhu, from Melbourne to Glasgow, left Bahia Aug. 13. The Priam, Scott, from Portland Bay, whence she sailed April 28, is off Scilly. By the steamer America accounts of August 26 have just come to hand from New York. In the stock market, on the 25th ult., there was quite a panic, and forced sales were made in all the "fancy." Securities, as they are termed, Erie and Reading, suffered the most. ' The panic in the pub!ic mind relative to Bank failures is stated to be rapidly subsiding. A num ber of Indiana Banks were closing up and with drawing their notes from circulation. The " shin plaster" Banks of Michigan, Maryland, and Georgia were considered worthless, i.ut not the free Banks. The President of the Bank of Carthage had failed, and its bills were refused, but a good result was expected. Railroad stock generally was described as being unsound, but we must take these asser tions with due reservation. Flour was still ad vancing, and with good sales. Common to fancy western had been up to 10 and 10i, dollars per barrel. There was no improvement in freights. The greatest possible interest was still manifested in the question of the Indian corn crop, and the deficiency is undoubted. Accounts from Saint Dizier of the 7th inst. state that there were fair orders for iron on hand, and that the customary slackness in trade at this sea : . son was not felt iu consequence of the great indis position among the workpeeple lessening the num ber of persons employed, and affording consequently more work for the remainder. The naval force of the Russian Government in the Baltic Sea is . 31 first-class men of war, and 52 frigates and small vessels. In the Baltkers' Circular the following remarks are givenupon the harvest prospects :—" The testimony of an abundance reacl.es us from every quarter. A correspondent, writing from Essex, says that there are monulains of stacks to be found in the fields and yards of farmers in that county, and that an average of from five to six quarters per acre is by no means uncommon. The principal point which now attracts both sellers and buyers is what will be about the range of prices. It is, perhaps, in the absence of any official data as to y the acre age of the crops, too soon to form an opinion that may carry with it any degree of probability. We find, as usual, that authorities having con siderable information at hand differ widely on this point. But it is of the highest satisfaction to know that, as regards the crop itself, there is one undi vided opinion of its great abundance. The same satisfactory results are related of the crops through out the Continent of Europe. It is, therefore, by no means improbable that a very large proportion of their supplies will be thrown into our market between this and the harvest of 1855, and that prices will undergo a considerable decline. Thi s will prove a great boon to the working classes, who during the last 12 months have experienced great privations from the high price of bread, and all other articles of first necessity. Various estimates are made of the saving to be effected by this increase in the produce of the soil, but they are most of them made upon reasonings too vague to be of any practical value. The total cost of wheat for the entire population in 1845 was about 49,663,000/., when the extreme averages were 60s. ld., and 455. per quarter, whereas in 1847 the total amount was about 68,000,0001. The English Stock Market has been extremely quiet, and the number of m( mbers who have left town causes business to be greatly contracted. Notwithstanding this, however, and a rise of 3s. to 4s. per quarter in wheat, the quotations of Consuls have improved from 95.1 to 95fr I. Exchequer Bills have been 4s. to Bs. premium, and the Small Bonds ss. premium. The Exchequer Bonds of 1858 have been done at 99/, and those of 1859 at 99k, each bearing 3i per cent. interest. In the Foreign Stock Market a few transactions are recorded at about previous prices. Mexican are supported at 25 to 25k; Peruvi an 6 i p er Cents. and Russian 4 1 p er at 74 ; Grenada Defe rred at 6, Cents. at 90. Sp anish 3 per Cents. are heavy at lsg_, and the Committee's Certificates at 51 to Venezuela Deferred are marked 10. In Turkish Scrip and Dutch Bo nds there is nothing doing.

Railway Shares generally, are very firm, and show scarcely any variation from the closing rates of Saturday ; but the amount of business doing is limited. The Foreign lines are quiet, but nomi nally steady. Mining Shares are quite neglected, the Banks are without particular change, and in the Land Cam panies' Shares no dealings have taken place.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET-(TEfIS DAY ASSAULTING THE POLICE. Nicholas Elliott, 40, Chapel-street, Cavendish-square, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with assault ing Police-constable Saks, 37 E, while in the execution of his duty. It appeared from the evidence of the constable that about one o'clock on Sunday morning he was on duty in Buckingham-street, Fitzroy-square, when the prisoner was given into his charge' by a woman, who stated that he (defendant) had gro. sly assaulted her. Witness pro ceeded with him to the Ftation-bouge, and on their way there defendant struck him and tripped him up. Witness fell to the ground with some violence, and was much hurt at the time. .A.nother constable came to his aid, and the defendant, who was the worse for liquor, wax lodged in durance vile. Defendant, in answer to the charge, said he had taken too much- wine on Saturday night, and really had no recollection of conducting himself in the manner de scribed by the constable. Mr. Bingham said constables were not to be knot iced about with impunity, and fin ed defendant 405., whh was at once paid. The cholera has evidently had the effect or decreasing the number of charges at this ,court, for within the last week little or no business of importance has been before the sitting magistrates.

CORN EXCHANGE. Very moderate supplies of wheat wore on sale in the leading country markets held on Saturday. The demand for all kinds rule'l steady, at an advance in the quotations of fully 2s per quarter. There was very little inquiry for barley and malt, but oats were held with more firmness. Other articles were dull. Our last advices from New York state that flour had further advanced is per barrel,os h and tat the value of grain had an upward tendency. Mt of the continental mar kets have been dull. In the general quotations, however, very little change has taken place. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were but moderate. The imports of foreign am ounted to only 1,370 quarters of wheat, 1,500 barley, 14,915 oats, 164 beaus, 10 peas, 20 tares, 17 sundry seeds, and 474 barrels of flour. Fresh up to our market to-day, the arrivals of wheat from Essex and Kent, coastwise and by land carriage, were seasonably good, and in excellent condition. As the at tendance of country buyers was large, the demand for new English wheat was active, and a good business was trans acted, at au advance in the prices obtained on Monday last of from 3s to 4s per quarter. There was a fair inquiry for old wheats, the show of which was small, at from 3s to 4s per quarter above the rates current ou this day se'n night. For forward delivery nothing was doing. Notwithstanding the supply of foreign wheat, that grain moved off readily, at 3s. to 4s. above last week's quotations. Several parcels changed hands for shipment to the continent. Iu floating cargoes very little was doing, yet they were held on higher terms. B,,rley—the supply of which was small—was steady, at full prices. We had a dull inquiry for malt ; but there were no sellers on lower terms. The supplies of oats were small, and the sale for them ruled rather active, at from is. to is. 6d. per quarter more money. Beans were in short supply and slow request, on former etinF4 In peas very little business was transacted, at the late decline. Indian corn was in good request, and dearer. About 1,000 barrels of American flour were sold for France, at au advance of ls. per batrel. The trade gene- rally was firm. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE. Wheat—Essex lic TC , nt.

We had an extensive show of foreign stock in to-day's market; but its general condition was inferior. The arrivals of beasts perhaps from our own grazing districts were on the increase. At least two-thirds of them, however, were of very middling quality. We had a steady, but by no means brisk, inquiry for the few prime Scots on offer, at full prices. All other kinds moved off slowly, yet no actual change took place in the quotations. The whole of the stock was not disposed of. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received z,507 short-horns ; from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 21 limited and polled Scots. There was an immense show of sheep. but most kinds cattle to hand out of condition. The primest old Downs sold steadily, at full prices, viz. 4s. 10d. to ss. per 8 1 b. Otherwise, the mutton trad e ruled heavy, at, in some in stances, a decline in the quotations obtained on Monday last of !d. per 81bs. Lambs are now out of season. The prices ruled to-day were about a par with sheep. There was a moderate inquiry for calves—the supply, of which was rather limited, at last week's currency. We had a slow sale for pigs, at full quotations. The supply was tolerably good. The imports of foreign stock into London last week were moderate—the total supply amounting to 10,105 head. In the corresponding week in 1853 we received 10,787 ' • in 1852, 10,6 1 . 2 ; in 1851, 11,380 ; in 1850 , 9 , 000 ; in 1849, 4,500 ; in 1848, 6,900; in 1847, 4,80 J head.

Speculation on the St,. Leger still rules somewhat dull ; certain movements in the Turf Market have, how ever, been marked by peculiar importance, and have been sufficient to heighten and sustain the curiosity with which the encounter is regarded. Doubts respecting Scott's lot have not been dispelled, and the seeming mystery which attaches to it has been increased by the show of support which on Saturday was again made in favour of Dervish. Those industrious diffusers of useful knowledge—" The Tippers "—have within the last few weeks been busily employed in sending letters of advice to their correspondents, and, indeed, some people do not hesitate to attribute the " rise " of Dervish to the " griffin " sent out by a member of this knowing fra ternity. 1013qing Prices Saturday. Business done this day. The limited range of speculation indicates that the , field will be numerically insignificant, although the com parative mediocre character of the competitors will dJubtless induce owners to start little-thought-of horses merely to go for the off chance. From information I have received, to use the language of the police, I may calculate with some certainty upon seeing the under. mentioned horses and jockeys prepared to du battle • Boiardo Acrobat Dervish Scythian lVel le. Autocrat G. Whitehouse. Hannibal . Maton. Baalbec The Trapper Arthur Wellesley Ivan or . Tros $ In addition to the above, several others are talked about as likely starters. My information respect. ing them is, however, too vague to induce me to include them in 'the above list. The doubtful runners are, in my opinion, Midsummer, Calamus, Dr. O'Toole, Middlesex, Amalgamation, colt by Vitellius, dam b 3 Scroggins, and Corin cum, multus Both Boiardo and Acrobat maintain their relative positions in the betting with seeming steadiness, although the support conceded to the former has, within the last two or three days, been rather of a negative than of a positive character. 7to 4 seems scarcely a sufficient price to tempt backers to extend their investments on him, and people who hare edging money are disinclined to part with it at 2 to 1, thinking that at the post they will have an opportunity of laying it off at still shorter odds than those at which the horse is now nominally quoted. The undiminished confidence which the supporters of Boiardo display is calculated to remove the prejudice which is probably entertained against him. I, however, am still fain to confess that moderate as this opponents are, I do not deem Boiardo a horse worthy of implicit confidence. If public performances afford any criterion of racing power, Boiardo is incapable of sustaining a severe contest over the St. Leger Course. In private trials I place no trust, especially when their result is no secret. If both Boiardo and Acrobat start, and if both run on their merits, Acrobat will have no difficulty in accom plishiug the grand tour de force of defeating his " potted" stable companion. In dealing with Acrobat and Dervish it is necessary to use hypothetical language, for no trustworthy intelligence can be gathered as to their party's intentions. In certain quarters Acrobat is talked about as a doubtful starter, notwithstanding the investments which are daily made on him, whilst, in the significant language of touts, Dervish is regarded as being virtually a dead 'un. Still there are not wanting people who believe that Lord Derby will follow the example of the " Sailor King," who, when he was asked which horse he intended to run out of several that he had entered for a race, replied, " start the whole fleet, and let the best win." Whether Dervish will eves figure at a shorter price than at present, I am not in position to determine. Few people will be surprised at his further advance ; even his success would not excite especial wonder. The opinion which I entertain of Dervish has been too frequently expressed to require re capitulation. The Trapper will be a formidable opponent to Scott's lot. He passed through London, I believe, last night, en route for Doncaster. The circumstances connected with his withdrawal from the Derby are still fresh in the memory of all turfites, and but for the accident which then prevented his starting his partisans aver, and with a good show of reason, that he would have been "about w inning." He has, it isreported, beenrecently triei with Andover, and it is said that be confirmed the opinioi which his owner entertained of him prior to the Derby The Trapper seems a long-striding, powerful horse, ani that he possesses some racing ability was proved by the superior style in which he "performed" at Newmarket at the commencement of the season. Autocrat, who throughout the winter was the ruling favourite for the Derby, but who was in consequence of a break down suddenly deposed within a few days of the race, is re ported sound in wind and limb. To me, however, it appears questionable whether he has been sufficiently prepared to enable him to compete with any chance of success, and when " extended " over the hard ground at Doncaster, the probabilities of a break down again will appear stronger than those of winning. Should he, how ever, meet with no accident of this nature, I shall not be surprised to see him obtain a place in the encounter. Knight of St. George is steadily advancing in favour. That be will run well and gamely admits not of a ques tion ; but he seems too small, and his powers of endur ance are evidently too limited to induce me to entertain expectations of his success. Ivan appears to be friend less in the market ; and, indeed, his running at York, although he was perhaps then amiss, would show that he can have no chance with Boiardo and Acrobat in the race. Midsummer is reported sold, and so are her backers. The disposition evinced to lay against her warrants the belief that she is a doubtful starter. Of the other animals mentioned as being likely to be num bered among the competitors, I entertain no expectations. Nearly every horse belonging to Scott's lot has figured in the betting ; three of them, Boiardo, Dervish, and Acrobat, have in turns been favourites. By many per sons this very circumstance is regarded with suspicion, and in justification of their doubts they refer to the changes which were rung with Daniel O'Rourke and Songstress. Should John Scott snake a mistake—and his judgment is not fallible—and sacrifice Acrobat to Boiardo, as he did Cotherstone to Prize Fighter, I shall expect to witness the defeat of his " lot." Were I, however, certain that Acrobat will have fair play, I should be inclined to see him go through his performance with success. At present, however, I am inclined to anticipate the triumph of THE TRAPPER. The other " cripple," AUTOCRAT, shall be my cockboa' I shall briefly direct attention to the remaining events The advance of the Grand Inquisitor for the great York. shire Handicap, or something else beyond my ken, has caused retrogression of Rabgill. Still, should Rabgill go to the post, and be actually intended, I shall not think slightingly of his chance. Perhaps, however, the most satisfactory selection to make against the field would comprise Typee, Grapeshot, and Amalgamation. For the "off chance" I shall take The Reiver. The pro bable absence of Dirk Hatteraick and Lord of the Isles makes the Champagne Stakes seem on paper a certainty for Bonnie Morn. Ellermire will, doubtless, win the Revival Plate. For the Stand Plate, Merry Bird, Kenuyside Hero, and Eva seem worthy of notice. The Filly Stakes I shall place to the credit of Fayaway. In addition to the St. Leger, Wednesday's list con tains six items, of which a moiety are at my present writing unclosed. Dirk Hatteraick will, doubtless, ' carry off the Municipal Stakes, and Rataplan the 100 Suva. Sweepstakes. Catherine Parr, Pumicestone, and Mishap will, perhupg, occupy the foremost places in the race for the Corporation Plate. The Cleveland Handi ' cap stands first on Thursday's list. Snowdon Dunhill, Hobby Horse, and Kitefiyer seem the most attractive ▪ names among the nominations. For the Scarborough Stakes I shall select Hospodar, and for the Eglinton Stakes, Ellermire and Nettle. Could I calculate with certainty upon a start, Bonnie Morn should, despite his 71bs. penalty, be my unconditional selection for the 10 Sovs. Sweepstakes. In his absence I shall look to either Fayaway or Dr. Cooke to win. Evangeline and Palmerston shall represent my interest in the Handicap for two-yr - olds. By the way, I had almost forgotten to make mention of the match between Evangeline and Cimicina, to be run to-morrow (Tuesday.) I shall ex pect the running of these fillies at Wolverhampton to be confirmed. I shall not now enter into a discussion of the events to be decided on Friday. I will despatch some notes from Doncaster on Wednesday, when I shall be in poa session of the " Grand Secret." Sept. 11. 22 -226 j 5 - 54 ".

JA11.E8 . 5, WESTMINSTER.—We regret to announce that after the account was written which Appeared in The Sun of Saturday, there were several severe and fatal cases of cholera, and that seven or eight were reported on Saturday morning, although the wisest precautions were adopted to arrest the progress of the disease. The neighbourhood of Golden-square presented on Saturday morning a most melancholy and heart-rending appear ance. There was scarcely a street free from hearses and mourning coaches, and the inhabitants of the district, ap palled by the calamity which has visited them, crowded the streets to witness the last sorrowing act of duty to wards their neighbours and friends. A vast number of the tradespeople left their shops and fled from the place, the closed shutters hearing the announcement that business had been suspended fora few days. Messrs. Huggias, the brewers, with praiseveorthy forethought, have issued an an nouncement that the poor inhabitants may obtain any quantity of hot water for cleansing their dwellings, or other ther purposes, a t any hour of the day or night, an act humanity and kindness of which a large number have availed themselves. ST. ANNE'S, &MO.—Several deaths were reported on Saturday mor n i ng i n that portion ofthis parish which lies between Wardour-,,treeut;zaenntd Wade edeeastern end of Ohx sedvuetrieesa o t attack a c h k i s which oce c i ford -street .

F geci 7 t il lei i n n a .u i i s rie re s co v a a ng. on Saturday RATCLIFF.—The disease in this district is greatly on the decreas e , no t w i thstanding that a number of bodies have been brought on shore for interment from the ea s e. ous colliers lying in the river. ST. PAUL'S, SHADWELL, STEPNEY, WHITECRA.PEL AND BETEFNAL - GREEN.---In the se di s t r i cts, as mightreaso'na rea sonably be the diseas e li ngers, b ut not with the viruler e Y that has been stated ; and the authorities, aroused when " death" stares them i n th e f ace, have done much good in eleansing the neighbourhood. Lithe parishesof St. Paul's, Shadwell, of St. Ann's, Limehouse, and also Mile-end, New and Old-towns, the reports of the medical officers show that the epidemic is on the decrease. The same returns were obtained in St. Saviour's, Southwark, St.-, George the Martyr, Southwark, St. Mary, Newington, and Lambeth. It has been clearly ascertained through out these districts that the epidemic has subsided. In the city of London it appears to have entirely gone, no cases being reported to the medical officers on Saturday morning, and the same notion exists on the other side of the water. ST. G EoRGE ' S - IN - THE - EAST.—Several cases of Asiatic cholera have taken place in the over-crowded parts of St. George's-in-the East ; and during the last few days five deaths have occurred at the Cholera Hospital, in Bath-terrace, Back-road, where there are three persons 1) ing in a dangerous state from the effects of the epi demic. Three cases of a fatal character occurred yester ;lay, and several deaths have occurred in Pell-street, Ellen-street, and the New-road, Ratcliff-highway. • The epidemic in this district is rather on the increase, but the guardians have made every arrangement for the speedy relief of all applicants for medical assistance. ST. ANNE'S, LIMEHoUss.—On Saturday afternoontwo cases of Asiatic cholera terminated fatally on board ship at Limehouse. 13 ERWICK - STREET.—Many months ago we referred to the bad condition, in a sanitary poi n t of v i ew , o f h ouses in the neighbourhood of Wardour-street, Berwick-street, Broad-street, and Marlborough-street, the absence of proper drainage, and the want of water. On Friday, the Ist of Sept., this district was attacked by a pestilence which has unfortunately swept away a large number of persons, who were, the day before, in perfect health. The people in this district were, no doubt, reading in the newspapers, or learning from others, that the cholera had reached London, but felt, notwithstand ing the cautions which have been given, and the ac counts NA deaths from other parts, that they were them selves safe. Our object is not to excite alarm ; but it becomes the duty of all who have an interest in the welfare of the community to investigate the causes of this sudden and frightful attack in the midst of the me tropolis. At one house in Broad-street, the people said that they bad no ill smell to complain of until only a week back, and then it was very bad. The dust-heap was nearly full of refuse. The condition of the atmo sphere within the house was bad in the extreme. This, - iiid the discoloration of the paint of the doors, seemed to show that a cesspool was close at hand. "Have you had cholera here?" we asked. " Yes ; a person lies dead in the kitchen, and two have died upstairs." In the closet there was a glazed pan, but the water was not laid on. "You see," said an intelligent man in the same street, " that these closets are only a disguise—the cesspool is still there ; and I would like to know how many cesspools there are in this street that have been partly filled in, not emptied, but covered up. There was a great deal of wet weather at the early part of this year; and, in fact, for some time past the earth has been satu rated, and now the hot sun gathers the moisture, and of course where cesspools are, the evaporation from the -earth is poison. It is almost unnecessary to tell you these disguised water-closets, with surface drains only carrying off the liquid matter, pass through the kitchen ; and it is a sad fact that, very often in the kitchens of the hou-es around here there are more human beings I lodged than i n th e w h o l e h ouse b es id es. B ut w h at can I the poor creatures do 1" Next door, and the next, and almost in every house in this street, there has been dis ,ase and death. The most careful examination of this treet by the pro!ver authorities should immediately be alade.—The Builder. RESULTS OF THE TREATMENT OF CHOLERA IN THE LONDON HOSPITALS. It will be seen, from our preceding reports, that the methods of treatment which have been resorted to in the hospitals have been diverse to a degree, and that between those methods and the proportions of the recoveries and deaths there cannot be traced any very obvious rela tion. We believe it may be stated, that the impressions most prevalent among those who have bad extensive op portunities of observation during the past month, are those of scepticism as to the usefulness of any of the more violent medications which have been advised. Almost all report favourably as to the effect of emetics in rallying the patient from extreme collapse, and nearly the same uniformity of opinion prevails as to the propriety of all Owing ice to be sucked ad libi tum. On all other points, however, the utmost discre pancies in the reports of experience exist. The circum stance that an unusual degree of mortality has not re sulted in the practice of those who have given purga tives seems to prove that the necessity for arresting the alvine evacuation is not so imperious as has been sup posed, while it cannot certainly as yet be held to prove more. Several isolated cases have been treated in the other hospitals, according to the plan found so successful in King's College, but without any similar results. That the frequency of the consecutive fever has been less since the comparative disuse of opium in the treatment seems to be estab'ished. As to the calomel plan, the results as yet have not been very encouraging ; the uncompli cated experiment, however, has not been tried sufficiently extensively to authorise a definite opinion.—Medicai Time.? and Gazette. THE PRO'7INCES. WILTS.—The cholera (says the Devizes Gazette) has made its appearance in Wilts, and in a very short time ,ccasioned great fatality. With the nuisances which exist in some parts of the town it is not unlikely that it may visit Devizes. Whether it is the duty of the Turn pike Commissioners or the Borough Commissioners to cause those nuisances to be removed we know not ; but of this there can be no doubt—they are a disgrace to the town. At Stratton St. Margaret, near Swindon, the cholera is reported to be very virulent. Also, at Purton, where two ladies (sisters) died after a few hours' illness. lIUDDERSFIELD.—John Sykes, a working surveyor to the Improvement Commissioners at Huddersfield, was seized with cholera on Thursday night, the 31st ult., and died on Saturday last at two o'clock in the morn ing, after about 48 hours of sickness. He was interred the same day. Sykes has been in the service of the commissioners several years. In February last he was appointed to the office of working surveyor, at 781. per annum.—Leeds Mercury.

MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—The Napoleon rooms in this exhibition have lately received a most in teresting addition to the already large and valuable collection of relics belonging to Napoleon the Great.

This beautiful locality is rapidly rising in public estimation. In no district has so much been done for the residents to conduce to their health and pleasure ; and the present rise in the funds will no doubt tempt capitalists to embark in the purchase of this most de sirable property.

Towards the early part of last June English ships of war were en countered in that sea by the captainsof foreign vassals and by our own sailors. On the 14th of that month two English steam frigates, and one sailing, frigate arrived at the bar of he port of Archangel.

On the 6th and 7th July of the bombs two'steam-frigates poured a shower of shells , on this abode of medit a ti on an d prayer , some it is being of 401 b and 801 b. weight. On the fi rst occasion, true, the bombardment was not of l ong con ti n uance. The assailants soon launched a boat, carrying a flag o f truce ' arid bearing a written demand for the snrrenderof the con vent, with its guns, arms, standards, an d m ilitary stores, not forgetting, the garrison —that is, invalids—who were its inm a t es .

He rejected the dishonourable requisition of the enemy , an d defended himself bravely ac corng to the extent of the means at his disposal. After the rejection of their summons the English commanders, y for nine consecuti ve h ours, maintained a tremendous firs on the sacred edifice, which was so protected b Provia deuce as to sustain only i ncons i derable damage. A bat tery, hastily constructed on a headland in the vicinity of the channel, and mounted with three 3-pounders, com pelled the steam-frigates to quit their anchorage, and thus prevented them from making any further attemptto injure the convent, the walls of which were ancient and strongly built. " It is evident that nothing but covetousness incited the English in this attack. Everybody has heard, through the description of travellers, of the great wealth of the convent of Solovetsky, and the English crews hoped for a splendid prize if they could suceed in taking it. They would, never theless, have been egregiously mistaken in their calculations for precautions had been previously used to place all the treasure of the convent in a place of safety. " Nevertheless, the enemy did not go away entirely empty-handed. Four of the ships crew landed in the little isle of Zaiatchy, one of the Solovetsky group, and having forcibly effected an entrance ipto the wooden church, they broke open the sacred door of the altar, tore the consecrated cloth which covered it, plundered the poor-box, and also took away three small bells from the steeple, with which they regained their ships, which then left the channel, and steered towards the Gulf of Onega. On the Bth of July these same vessels were signallised in sight of the village of Liamitskaia, 65 versts from Onega. The only enemies they found here were five old men. All the other inhabi tants had disappeared. Having killed two oxen, eight sheep, and several chickens, the English threw the old men three Russian gold pieces, of 5 roubles each, and, loaded with provisions thus derisively paid for, they re turned to their ships, which on the evening of the same day presented themselves before the Isle of Kiy, 15 versts from. Onega. In this island the English heroes covered them selves with new laurels. They burnt the Custont-house, and also the buildings in which the employes and servants resided. By the light of this conflagration they directed their triumphant march to the convent of St. Croix, founded in that island by the venerable patriarch Niece. In this ancient but poor convent they found nothing in the shape of booty, but, to recompense themselves for their ineffectual attempt against Solovetsky, they wished by any means to carry away something from St. Croix. They took, therefore, from the treasury ten gold pieces of five roubles each, also several articles appertaining to the poor brotherhood, and joiner' to this glorious booty a bell weigh ing six pounds, half-a-dozen old brass cannon, completel7 useless, having been kept for 200 years as antique speci mens, and 15 rampart muskets of a similar kind. Such were the precious and glorious trophies taken by the Eng. lish in their campaign against the monastery of St. Croix. Soon, however, they awoke to a perception of the merits of the c.►nnon, and, as if indignant at their blunder. they broke oue in pieces, threw three into the convent well, and the remainder into the sea. " Nevertheless, it must not be believed that they can always thus act with impunity against the inhabitants of the coasts. Desiring one day, iu the village of Pousch lskhta, to make up the complement of the fresh provisions which they bad taken in that of Liamtsa, they were dia -1 embarking under cover of their guns, and commenced, as is their usual custom, by opening a discharge of musketry upon the peasants. These latter, however to the number of 23, directed Icy two old soldiers who had reentered the military service, and commanded by the Government secretary of Volkailf, in conjunction with the chief of the district of the domains of Kholwogory, were not intimi dated, but, on the contrary, so well returned the enemy's fire, that five were killed on the spot, independently of the wounded, while our compatriots were uninjured. At length, the smallness of their number having been dis covered, they were obliged to beat a retreat, which they etre. ted with order, retiring step by step, but still main taining a resolute defence. The English, too fatigued to pursue them further, to revenge themselves for this resist ance, set fire to the village, consisting of 40 houses, with an unpretending wooden church, and then regained their ships, carrying with them a great portion of the effects of the inhabitants. The next day they burnt, near the vil lage of Lnzma, three fishermen's vessels laden with whoa -a worthy finale to all their naval exploits of this cl et scription. Such are become the glorious actions of English sailors in these days !" LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) LONDON, Sept. 11. Wind this day at Noon, S.W. ; fine weather. PORTSMOUTH, Sept. 10.—Wind, S.
