THE BALTIC.

DANTZIC, Aug. 31.
The English Ambassador at Stockholm has informed
Admiral Dundas that the Russians lost upwards of 2,000 men
at Sweaborg. • The terrific explosion which took place at noon
on the first day blew up the magazine, containing the entire
stock of shells, and 600 men were killed by it. Every maga-
zine in the place was destroyed ; also immense stores of cord-
age, rope, tar, and other naval supplies. The large Russian
man-of-war, which was anchored in the passage between the
East Island to the north of the fortress had her side blo'wn
out, and 14 or 15 different descriptions of vessels lying inside
the dock-yard besides, were destroyed entirely.
The Vulture struck on a rock off Hango,*remained 12 hours,
and is said to be seriously damaged. The Dragon had also
been on shore, but sustained little injury,

The Invalide Busse publishes another and a fuller account
of the battle of the Tchernaya.

THE FUNDS, STOCK; AND SHARE MARKET.
English Funds continue to exhibit heaviness—influenced
by a few speculative sales and an increasing demand for money,
close a shade lower. In Railways the depression prevailed in •
heavy stocks, caused by a pressure of sales; other descriptions
were, however, supported. Land, Bank, and Foreign Stocks
presented little feature. Turkish, old and new, drooping.

LONDON CORN MARKET.—CLOSING REPORS.—The supply
of English Wheat was small and almost entirely new, the -
quality of which varied 20s. per qr. The whole met a quick
sale at• an advance of fully ls. upon the prices of this day
week. The attendance of buyers was rather better than of
late, and although the high pretensiOns of holders caused the
transactions in Foreign Wheat to be restricted, yet, in the
sales effected, an advance of 2s. per qr. was established. Bar.
ley and Oats are each ls., and White Peas 2s. per qr. dearer.
Beans are unaltered in value. Flour trade quiet, without al-
teration in price. About 100 qrs. of White Mustard Seed at
the market, which sold at from 10s. to 15s. per bushel, the
quality and condition being very variable.
