The Secretary of Legation at Belgium sends
the usual report of the trade and commerce of
Belgium during the last half of the year 1859.
The animation which succeeded the conclusion of
the war in Italy, was only partial. The lace
trade is depressed. In cotton and woollen goods
there appears to have been no alteration. The
home trade has especially suffered, the demand
for all articles of luxury having been very limi-
ted. Among the iron manufacturers there are
general complaints ; so the shipping returns are
unsatisfactory, and a diminution in the tonnage
has occurred.

(From W. P. Wright anal Co.'s Cotton Circalar.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 15.
In this market during the past week, the demand has
been moderate, and prices are without change. Holders
maintain great firmness in view of the continued low
scale of prices from Liverpool. The sales for the week
are estimated at 6,000 bales, and the clearances same
time have been—for Liverpool, 10 bales ; Barcelona,
691 ; Havre, 400; Brenitn, 234; total, 1,335 bales.

By the telegraph from New Orleans, the receipts c 4
new cotton give the opportunity to buyers of securing a
fair quantity to fill pending freight engagements, and
make early shipments. The price of Middling, new
crop, has not declined below 10,e to Ile per lb., at
which price there are buyers for France, the Continent,
and our northern markets. Business will be resumed at
an earlier date than usual this coming season at all the
Southern ports.
Cnor.—Since the sailing of the last steamer, the
accounts from the South, generally by mail, are rather
less unfavourable for crop prospects. Seasonable rains
have fallen ; and where such can be productive of good,
the plant will be benefitted. The drought, however,
has been so severe, that in many cases the crop has been
forced to maturity prematurely, and in such rain will
have an injurious effect, causing forms and squares to
fall off, and a new growth of wood to start. By tele-
graph from New Orleans we are led of a violent storm
and heavy rains in that vicinity 0 the 11th. Should
these have extended over the area under cotton cultiva-
tion (and from the occurrence of heavy rains and high
winds here on the 13th and yesterday, there is a proba-
bility that such may be the fact), we may soon hear
complaints of too much rain and damage to the Crop.
The real obstacle to a good crop is heavy and continuous
rain, it being too late nosy to expect cotton to make
from the second growth of the plant, induced by the
rains of last week. Public opinion is very sensitive at
this moment on the subject of rain.
Nzw COTTON.--There have been received two bales
from Florida at Charleston, about 7th of August, nearly
four weeks earlier than last, year. At Memphis two
bales had been received from Arkansas river on the 9th of
August. The total at New Orleans up to the afternoon
of the 13th amounts to 3000 bales-, against 478 bales to
same time last year, and at Mobile 120 bales, against 2
bales last year. The amount to be received prior to the
let of September, which will be counted into the crop of
last year, is variously estimated at from 25,000 0.40,000
bales.

RECEIPTS at the ports for the week under review
amount to 9,000 bales, including 5,000 bales for correc-
tions at New Orleans upon taking stock.
SUMMARY.—Receipts : Increase at the ports compared
with last year, 763,000 bales. Exports : Increase to
692,000 bales ; increase to France,
Gl3riea,otooß;rit, decrease
to other foreign ports, 52,000. Total
increase in exports, 774,000 bales.
