COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday ruled
teady, about 6,000 finding buyers at previous
tices• Mid Uplands realised 6 3-16 d. ; Mobile,
41. ; Orleans, 6 7-16 d. per lb. Railway Shares
ore brisk, and after many fluctuations closed at a
'light decline on opening prices.
The Russian war is not yet ended, and the mo-
‘lve% for unflagging vigour and firm resolve are
atilt existent. At least so think a number of our
terehants, as is explained in the following observa-
tions from Smith and Charles' circular :
" The glorious intelligence which has reached this
1:4111try since our last circular was issued, having. led
Lrquiries by our clients as to the effect of the destruc-
th°.n of Sebastobol on the question of peace, we take
8 opportunity of reminding you that when, in the
1
autumna of last year, it was supposed that Seba-topol
Would speedily fall into the hands of the Allies, we gave
as our opinion that the conquest of that stronghold
7()uld but exasperate the leaders of the Russian party
111
St.tov. Petersburg ; that they would concentrate their
th'.eeen in the interior of Russia, and defy us to meet them
le; that the Allied armies would not follow them,
and that this unwillingness, or inability, on our part to
cafl the fire into the heart of Russia, would be pro-
Hoed throughout the empire as a triumph on theirs.
The_ Russian leaders, we said, dared not surrender ; and,
"efore, although every fortress they possessed in the
Peoth and in the Baltic %sere reduced to ruin., we did not
believe., they would yield. Hence, we argued, the neces-
8y for destroying their trade, and thus bringing about
al:
„!'oternal revolt. We see no reason to alter our opinion
ie these points. As to proposals for peace emanating
Yetthe Allies, the idea is preposterous. Far too much
t remains to be effected before such a consideration„„
be entertained. Russia has not yet been deprived
gee
Power of again disturbing the peace of Europe.
ther fortresses in the Baltic are a standing menace to
h° neighbouring nations; and, so long as they remain
tact' Russia will not cease to dream of aggrandise-
sm,nt. Moreover, it is to be hoped that the salutary
tol3eiple which prevails in our courts of law will be on
)128 occasion imported into the policy of war.— viz., " that
:1; who commences an unju-t action shall pay the costs
avitoth sides." An annual payment by Russia of ten
sal I,incl sterling will be a useful lesson to future Czars
pa; raisin impolicy of aggression ; and the necessity fcr
fo,;'ing so large an amount will furnish a strong motive
the adoption of an enlightened commercial policy,
dt:1,611 not only will her own resources be devt loped,
4,.' Idle wealth of Europe be greatly augmented. There
e other considerations which suggest themselves as we
'Arita,ll4 in relation to Prussia and Austria ; but these we
e not now space to discuss."
The
weekly return of the Bank of England up
lest Saturday is just what we had anticipated.
116 f•Alling off in the bullion is not quite so great

BhcW a heavy demand, and we apprehend it was
likentina partly for the Turkish loan shipment, in anti-
The discounts were much larger, but
ete was no change in the Government securities.
