THE BALTIC.

A. telegraphic despatch, dated Berlin, last night,
says the combined fleets were in Ledsund on the
25th.

Admiral Corry left Copenhagen in the Dauntless
on the 27th.

It is reported that a French liner was stranded
in Kiel harbour on the 28th.

It would appear by the Umea Journal (Umea is
a Swedish port in the Gulf of Bothnia), that
Captain Hall, of the Hecla, and Captain Scott, of
the Odin, intend paying shortly a visit to New
Charlestown (New Carleby), a town in Finland,
not far distant from Gamla Carleby, the scene of
the severe losses experienced by the Vulture and
the above named Odin, war steamers. In fact, that
journal states that Capt. Hall, who is now the
commander of the steamers cruising in the Gulf of
Finland, declared that he expected to be reinforced
with a number of smaller boats, and that he should
then see what was to be done in New Charleby•
The same journal adds that the officers of a French
frigate, 72 guns (name not given) lately visited
Gumbodaholmen, and stated that the real opera-
tions would commence towards the end of the pre-
sent month, and that 140 gunboats would soon
arrive from England.
The Royal College of Health of Sweden has
officially declared that Liverpool is infected with
cholera, and that all the English ports on the West
from the Scottish frontiers are suspected of being
infected with the epidemic ; consequently vessels
coming from those ports will be placed, in Syvedent
under quarantine regulations, more or less strict.

BARO SOUND, July B.—By a private letter from
St. Petersburg, we hear the Emperor has issued 11
ukase which compels all the English residents along
the coasts to retire into the interior, but permit°
those now living in the city to live anywhere 03
the great road to Moscow. Before we left Cron-
stadt on the 2d, every effort was made to discover
some of the infernal machines which are said to
have been laid down, but after the most diligent
search to within 3,000 yards of the Risbank bat-
tery, none were found. It is known that several
hundred were made at a Government factory near
Moscow at the beginning of this year. They e°ll-

25 feet in diameter. The sufferings of the people
along the coast must be very great, especially front:

ATHENS, July 20.—Mavrocordato has arrived.
Four insurgent chiefs have been put to death near
Frikona, in Thessaly, by the Bashi-Bazouks.

SPAIN.

A telegraphic despatch received in Paris yester-
day, from Madrid, states that on the 24th an aide-
de-camp of General Espartero arrived in Madrid,
and proceeded immediately to the Palace without
communicating with the Junta.
It was supposed that he had submitted a scheme
of policy for the approbation of her Majesty, but
nothing certain was known.
It was believed that General Blaser was at Ciudad
Real, and that the troops,under his command would
march on Madrid.
Nothing was known of O'Donnell or his move-
ments.

Chico, the chief of the secret police, had been
taken and shot by the people.
A letter from Madrid of July 23, says it is re-
ported that Generals O'Donnell, Dulce, ar,c., with
their forces, are at Torrejon de Ardoz, waiting the
arrival of Espartero from Saragossa, and that they
will all come in here together this evening. Their
arrival will put an end to the present abnormal
state of things. The people here continue working
at and strengthening the barricades, just as if they
expected another general attack. On the other
band, the palace continues to be garrisoned as if its
inmates consider themselves besieged ; the gates
are all closed, and four pieces of artillery bear on
the approaches from the Plaza de Oriente, no one
being allowed to come that way without a pass.
The night before last efforts were made by the
Camarilla to induce the Queen to leave the palace
with her mother, betake herself to some strong
place, call the troops around her, declare that her
will had been forced, that all that has been lately
decreed by her is consequently null and void, and
Order the artillery and other troops to attack and
bombard Madrid. It is added that this would.
Probably have been attempted but for the persua-
sions of some ladies about the Queen, and the op-
position of the royal halberdiers. Then we have
danger from Socialist and Republican quarters,
but this is not very imminent as yet. There is a
Socialist paper published, called El Eco de la
Revolution, and the malcontents of this party even
hint at suspicions of Espartero, saying that he
comes here to save Queen Christina. The prompt
arrival of the Duke de la Victoria and the other
generals, the spectacle of their union, which it is
to be hoped will not be disturbed, and the speedy
formation of a strong and respectable Ministry,
would soon put an end to the importance of
grumblers and malcontents of all kinds. Delay
may have serious consequences. Already further
acts of popular vengeance have taken place.
Don Francisco Chico, a particularly obnoxious per-
son, from the situation he long held as head of the
Secret police, and who had been the instrument of
Oppression in the hands of various arbitrary Go-
vernments, had latterly fallen into disgrace, and
had been confined in prison for some time on the
Charge of receiving bribes to connive at certain
robberies that had recently occurred. Having
been set free, at length he returned to Madrid,
and was lodging in the Plazuela de Mostense. A
nlirnber of people went there early this morning,
took him from his bed (for he was ill), paraded
book on a mattress through the Plaza de Santo Pc-
IP logo, and various stz eats, and finally shot him in
t,
e Calle de Toledo. This sort of Lynch-law jus-
tice has been carried out in several cases by the
armed multitude against their own followers. At
many of the barricades it is announced in large
letters that robbers will be punished with death,
and this has been carried out to the letter in in

AMERICA.

SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY MORNING.

The United States Mail Steam-ship Washington,
Captain Lines, arrived off Cowes this morning, on
her way to Bremen, with dates from New York to
the 15th inst. inclusive.

The Asia arrived out on the 12th inst. ; the screw
steamer City of Manchester arrived at Philadelphia
on the 14th.

Advices from Mexico to the 3d of July state that
the revolutionists were still active, and additional
troops had been despatched to Michoacan to quell
the rebellion in that department. There was a re-
port that Alvarez was seized by illness, and that his
recovery was doubtful. Another foray, headed by
Count Itanosset de Bouldon, was looked for at
Guyamas.
The dullness in the New York Stock market still
continued, and prices had further declined.
Large sales of cotton had been made at prices
about one-eighth, cent advance.

For flour the market was inactive, and the quo-
tations were considerably reduced, the inferior de-
scriptions being difficult of sale. The grain trade
was greatly in favour of buyers, at irregular prices.
Freights unchanged.

THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

(From. the Leeds Mercury of this day.)

- -
LEEDS, July 28.—We have no alteration to report
in the state of the woollen market during the cur-
rent week. The trade continues steady and good.
There was also a fair average business done on Tues-
day. The advance in the price of wool, which has
been obtained during the sales now proceeding in Lon-
don, together with the splendid xeather we have had
during the last fortnight, giving us the promise of an
abundant harvest, and cheapness and plenty, have, to-
gether, had considerable influence in giving increased
activity and stability to this market. The trade in the
warehouses continues without any noticeable change.
HUDDERSFIELD, July 25.—There was a good amount
of business done in the Cloth-hall to-day. both in plain
and fancy woollens. On the whole, prices are firm, the
demand steady, and we hope improving.
ROCHDALE, July 24.—We have had a better demand
for flannels to-day, at prices not less than those of the
preceding week. The wool market has been steady, the
demand moderate, and prices very firm.
BRADFORD, July 27.—There isgreat complaint of the
difficulty of buying from growers wools for a depressed
market. There is a perceptible improvement in the
yarn market during the week, and prices are hardening,
although there is still too much reason for complaint of
the disproportion between the price of wool and yarn.
There is more doing in pieces, and the stock of grey
goods is very low.
HALIFAX MARKET, July 22.—Although there does
not appear to have been much more stirring in the
piece market to-day, there is certainly a firmer and more
cheerful tone manifest throughout the trade generally ;
for the most part induced by the exceedingly favourable
harvest prospects, and the consequent declension in price
of grain.

The Moniteur states that the Government is
taking measures to encourage the production of
dotton in its colonies in America as wellas in Algeria.
It has suppressed the duty of sf. per 100 kilo-
grammes on the importation of cotton from the
French colonies ; it has called the attention of the
Colonial Administrations to the advantages to be
derived from a return to the cultivatiOn of cotton,
and has sent them seeds of a peculiar species of
cotton produced in Greece and Egypt, with instruc-
tions as to the manner in which the plant is to be
cultivated. The Moniteur adds that the French
colonies in America are admirably adapted for the
production of cotton, and that in Guadaloupe,
where the production of the finer sorts was at-
tempted two years back, it is expected that next
year not fewer than 20,000 kilogrammes can be ex-
ported.
It is said that domiciliary visits have been made
