municated the following document to the Stock-Ex-
change, by direction of Baron Goldsmid and Mr Hors-
ley Palmer, the contractors for the Turkish Loan :

" Gentlemen,--With reference to the contract entered
into by you on the 24th of August, 1851, with Messrs.
Hack and Durand, on behalf of the Government of his
Imperial Majesty the Sultan, wherein it was provided
that, in addition to the sum of 3,000,0001. sterling already
raised thereunder, a further sum of 2,000,0001. sterling
should be negotiated at the price'and at the thrte which his
Imperial Majesty's Government might notify to you, I am
commanded by his Imperial Majesty's Government to in-
form you that his Imperial Majesty's Government has re-
solved to abandon altogether its right to have the said
2,000,000/. sterling raised under the above-mentioned con-
tract ; and you will therefore be good enough to issue forth
with a notification that the 2,000,0001. sterling which re-
mained to be borrowed under the terms of his Imperial
Majesty's general fund for 'the Turkish loan of 1854 will
not be raised, and that no further, certificates will be
issued on the terms thereof, but that of all the provisions
of the said general bond will remain in full force and vir-
tue to the extent of the loan of 3,000,0001. sterling only
already raised thereunder.
" Assuring you at the same time of the high opinion his
Imperial Majesty's Government entertains of the manner
in which you have hitherto conducted the financial affairs
committed to your charge,
"I have the honour to be, gentlemen,
" Yours very obediently,
Musunus•

CHARTERED BANK OF INDIA, AUSTRALIA, AND CHINA.
—At a special meeting of the Chartered Bank of India,
Australia, and China, held yesterday afternoon, the
report of the directors (an abstract of which anpeared in
The Sun of Thursday) was adopted with one dissentient
It is proposed that the business shall‘be principally car.
ried out in connection with India and China, and that
operations with Australia, if undertaken at all, shall be
encouraged only to a very limited extent. Through
careful management, the capital at present paid up has
been preserved nearly intact,
and it is considered that
the existing position of the money-market warrants the
shareholders in preserving the charter. A reissue of
shares will take place to complete the necessary financial
arrangements,

MARSHAL ST. ARNAUD AND . VIE

CRIMEAN EXPEDITION.

The family of Marshal St. Arnaud have published'
at Paris, a selection from his correspondence while exer-
cising the chief command of the French expedition in aid
of Turkey. The letters contain much that is curious.
Writing from Varna on the 17th of July,to his brother,
he complains :
" Our affairs seem to be goingth but time
ackwaixis instead of
moves on, and will bring the winter in his train. To-
morrow there is to be a grand conference at my quarters.
I should be thankful to the man who could tell me what
forwards. It is as yet neither war nor peace ;
judgment history will form a hundred years hence of the
General-in-Chief condemned to move in this dark laby-
rinth."
Writing again to his brother, under date Varna' Aug.
9, he says :
"If I were to give way to my impressions, to
turn of mind, and the feelings of my heart, I should
tbe
never have written you a sadder letter. I am la
midst of one vast tomb, resisting the scourge that is de-
cimating my army, seeing my bravest soldiers succumb
at the very moment I most want them, and yet continu-
ing, for all that, the preparations for a formidable expe-
dition. Have there been many such situations such as
mine in history ? My courage and energy shall at least
prove equal to the occasion. God, who strikes me with
one hand, rii,es me up with the other. For a long
time my health bas not been better in the midst of care:
and anxieties that fret me, and which I devour in secret'
I."'
with death at my ,heart, calm on my brow. Such is "
existence. When you receive this letter, I shall
either

have embarked foe the Crimea, or be on the pool
inc so. Meanwhile I pass five hours a day amid tudead and dying."

MONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday
closed tamely. The sales of the week have amounted
to 43,330 bales. The committee of brokers quote
fair Uplands at 7d., Mobile at 7d., and Orleans
at 71d. per lb. The Railway Share Market was
dull, at a slight decline in prices.
The return of the Bank of England for the week
to last Saturday is not quite so important as the
previous statement, but both the bullion and re-
serve of notes continued to increase. One altera-
tion is a greater demand for discount accommoda-
tion. It is satisfactory to find the amount to the
credit of the Government rising steadily. Com-
pared with the previous return, the changes are as
follows :

The quotations for bills upon Paris advanced
Yesterday afternoon, being 25 321 to 37-1- for 90
days' paper. Amsterdam was barely so high, 11
19} to 12. Hamburgti was negotiated at 13 7i to
8; and Trieste at 12 20 to 24.

The shipments of the precious metals during the
Week ending Thursday last from London direct
comprised 21,861 ounces of silver, and 12,447
°llnces of gold.
No letters per ship Lightning, from Melbourne,
have yet-been received in town, although it is said
that some of the passengers landed at a western
P2ll in Ireland. It appears extremely vexatious
that the benefit of late news should be thus frit-
ered away for want of some arrangement for
landing the mails.
The advices by the steamer from New York are
arather later, but are not generally of importance.
titlt'eks were active and buoyant. In cotton, also,
6 operations were large.
The Funds are steady this morning, but with
ticareoly anything doing. Consols have been 91 to
the New 3 per Cents. 92i to 1, and the Reduced
ti to 92. Bank Stock has been supported at
alOl to 2111. Exchequer Bills are 225. premium,
14 India Bonds 30s. to 31s. premium.
The Foreign Securities have been steady. Pe-
r

"
2 Turkish Bonds has improved to 81/ and
t) as the remaining 2,000,0001. which could
have been issued under the last con-
tract is not to be raised. It is believed that the
Ottoman Government want 4 or 5 millions, and
7
111 obtain the guarantee of the Allied Powers, but
this case present holders, we presume, will have
a
Preferential claim for the new loan.
The following are the nominal prices of foreign
St2eks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 to 7; Maxi-
", 21-; to 21/ ; Peruvian, 63 to 70; ditto Three
Per Cents., 48 to 50 ; Portuguese Four per Cents.,

Railway Shares are a little firmer in a few in-
stances, but there is no general improvement.
Caledonian are b higher, and Midland, Great
Western, and Great Northern are firm. East
Lancashire have declined. Great Western of
Canada are 4 to /- dearer.
