9 a.m.—The Peninsular
SOUTHAMPTON, Wednesday,
and Oriental Company's steam-ship Candia, transport,
No. 213, has sailed with troops and horses for the
Crimea.

The mercantile letters from Russia contain no indica-
tions of any probability of an early peace. The demand
for produce overland is sufficient to keep the rate of ex-
change steady at 360. At this point, however, the
exportation of gold is still profitable ; and, notwith-
standing all the precautions of the Government, consi-
derable sums are doubtless constantly smuggled across
the frontiers. At Odessa business may be considered
wholly extinct, and in addition to the dullness thus oc-
casioned the inhabitants are suffering from intense heat,
cholera, and the daily fear of being attacked by the
Allies.

The instalment of 15 per cent. on the loan payable
next Tuesday, the 17th, will complete one-half of the
amount. The remaining 50 per cent., or 8,000,0001., is
to be met by five instalments of 10 per cent. each, the
last falling due on the 18th of December.
The terms to be proposed for the new French loan
have not vet been published, and as a rumour prevailed
in Paris on Monday having been fixed for a fresh attack
on Sebastopol, there is a disposition to attribute the de-
lay to that circumstance. The new Turkish loan is not
expected for a month, since, whet all the preliminaries
are arranged, the passage of the necessary act of Parlia-
ment will occupy some time.
Advices from Hamburg refer to the approaching esta-
blishment of a new joint-stock bank, under the title of
the North German Bank, with a capital of 15,000,000
marks banco, in shares of 500 marks each, and with
power to double the capital at the end of three years.
Application has been made to the Senate of Hamburg
for a charter for 99 years. Operations are to be com-
menced as soon as 30 per cent. of the capital shall have
been paid up.
, Private letters from Vienna, received here yesterday,
speak not over encouragingly of the disposition of Aus-
tria towards the Allied Powers. Among the higher
classes generally the utmost exertions are made in fa-
vour of Russia, and it is thought that General Hess is
deeply concerned in these manoeuvres.
The Marquis de Turgot, French Ambassador at Ma-
drid, has been recalled. He is succeeded by M. de
Moustier, from Berlin ? M. de Moustier is succeeded at
Berlin by M. Adolphe Barret, from Brussels ; and the
Baron do Talleyrand takes M. Barrot's place at the last-
mentioried Court.
COURT OF ALDERMEN.—Yesterday a court was sum-
moned for the despatch of public business, when Sir J.
Musgrove, Bart., took the chair as locum tenens for the
Lord Mayor. Alderman Farebrother objected to the
validity of the document appointing a locum tenens,
upon the ground that although it had appended to it the
signature of the Lord Mayor, yet it had no seal affixed
to it. The objection was held to be fatal, and the mem-
bers immediately separated, no business having been
transacted.
SHIPMENTS OF SrEco--According to a statement just
issued by Mr. James Low, the shipments of specie from
England to India, China, Egypt, and Malta for the half-
year just ended have been 2,514,0061., of which 396,8471.
consisted of gold, and 2,117,1591. of silver. As compared
with the corresponding half of 1854 this shows an in-
crease of 140,9921., although' the total export was then
unusually large. The proportion of gold, however, is
smaller in the present return. The sum inc:uded in the
aggregate total as having been sent to China this half-
year is 833,4661., of which all but 140,5241. was silver.
In the first six months of 1854 the total sent to China
was 1,289,548/. The recent augmentation in the ship-
ments to the East has, therefore, been caused exclusively
by the Indian demand.
The Military Governor-General of St. Petersburg
announces that,. on the 18th (30th) June, the allied
squadron reniamed in the same position in the
Gulf of Finland. On the 29th they practised target
condemnation of Defelice by the Sacra Con-
firing.
The
sulTtsa sbeenh approved of by the Pope, it is said,
and ho will be executed as soon as the Royal visit-
ors now at Rome have left.
The Queen Christina of Spain arrived at Genoa
the other day, and shortly after left for Nice.
The only Dews from the expedition is, that the
cholera is on the decline, but it has already made
sad havoc with all ranks.
