THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY E NING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1854.

40,000 men are to enter Wallachia. In the spring an
Austrian corps was posted from Montenegro along
llerzegowina and Bosnia to Servia. That corps has
been dismissed and placed on a peace-footing. In the
same way, the 6th corps d'armec, which had been called
from Italy to Vienna to form there an army of reserve,
was placed on a peace-footing when the cabinet of
Vienna had received the notification of the evacuation
of the principalities by the Russians."

AND
COAT lERCIAL INT.ELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday
were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 1,500
American. taken for export and on speculation.
The sales comprised 6,500 American, 600 Egyp-
tian at 51d. to Bid., and 800 Surat at 3d. to 4id.
per lb. Railway shares were very firm at an ad-
vance of to 1 per cent.
The state of trade is satisfactory in the produce
markets, but the purchases are almost entirely for
consumption.
Mr. Edward Chaloner, the timber broker,
writing on the Liverpool wood trade, states :
" In July month the harvest was uncertain, the Bank
rate of loanable capital was 51 per cent. ; Canadian fir
timber was 2s per foot. Since that month we have been
blessed with a harvest now generally cut and secured,
which for quantity, quality, and weight, has had no
pa-allel in the present century, causing the Bank to re-
duce her interest rate, already, to 5 per cent. ; and it is
confidently expected it will be further reduced to 4 per
cent. before the end of this month, and yet Canadian fir
timber can only be quoted at is 6d per foot. Although
the stocks are not heavy, and the second or fall voyage
will not be generally made this year by the shipping em-
ployed in the North American timber trade ; hence the
four causes which have always been considered as pre-
monitory to an advance in prices, namely, cheap corn, an
easing money market, low stocks, and small supplies ex-
pected, now operate upon this market."
There aro several arrivals from Australia this
morning, and although not bringing later dates,
they have a large amount of bullion, say, 360,0001.,
on board. The Nile, from Sydney, brings 17,391

ounces, the Washington Irving, also from Sydney,
13,734 ounces, the Briseis, from Melbourne, 43,612
ounces, and 10,0001., and the Nelson, from Mel-
bourne, 14,234 ounces. These vessels do not in
any instance bring later advices, but they supply
some intermediate dates with a few details of in-

terest. The following account is given of the
future prospects of Ballarat, Victoria :

" When we consider what Ballarat is now, and what
position in the list of important places she may hereafter
occupy, the mind loses itself in the contemplation of the
extent of her resources and capabilities.

"Ballarat, unlike the other mining districts of Aus-
tralia, cannot be worked out in a few years or months
and left by the legitimate miner, for the downy fossi-
kers' to turn over and over again the rich soil at present
refuse, but in which many a shining nugget lies hid.
The claims at Ballarat cannot be worked by one or two
men, and perhaps finished in a day ; other tools than a
pick and shovel are requisite to commence a real Bal-
larat claim, and no sickly or weakly miner can under-
take to sink a shaft of from a hundred to a hundred
and sixty feet deep, with occasionally sixty or seventy
feet of it to be sunk working up to the middle in water,
with the additional inconvenience of foul air to boot ;
and no man or party of men will have the temerity to
commence sinking a shaft without at least a hundred
pounds in hand to defray the cost of food, clothing, and
mining implements, for some two or three months, with
the risk of the same claim turning out a " shicer."
" Of course fortunes, and immense ones, have been
made by men who have put forth the least exertion, and
who have been possessed of the minimum amount of in-
telligence ; but, as a general thsng, none but strong,
persevering, practical miners, can expect to be success-
ful here.

" And of such men is the majority of the Ballarat
miners composed—men who see plainly that no other
district in Australia presents so many opportunities of
realising a competence in so short a time, and offers
such inducements to settle down 'as the delightful
country of and around Ballarat. Already we see de-
cided indications on the ,part of miners, storekeepers,
and professional gentlemen to locate permanently here,
and are seudir.g for their wives and families to join
them in this their future home.

"The township is advancing with rapid and at the
same time well-directed strides, and even now pre-
sents a regular appearance. The carpenter's hammer,
the bricklayer's trowel, the smith's ringing anvil, and the
crack of the drayman's whip, are heard from early morn
to far advanced night, and stores, offices, private dwell-
ing houses, neat Elizabethan cottages, are springing up
with a Californian rapidity, but of more durable con-
struction.

" Land in the township has been sold at the rate of
above 3,0001. per acre, and cannot be obtained in some
localities for double that sum. The site is admirably
well selected, being on a raised kind of plateau, with
a never-failing supply of good water from a rivulet or
creek, which meanders along the skirts of the township,
and is fed by the finest lake imaginable—seemingly in-
tended by nature as a reservoir from which a large and
populous town is to be supplied with the greatest ne-
cessity, water.

" The country around is well wooded, and is able to
supply both timber and firewood for the factory, the
railway train, and the domestic hearth, without being
for years at all perceptibly diminished. From the ele-
vated position of the township, the work and expense of
drainage will be reduced to a mere trifle. Add. to all
these natural advantages the fine roads now in construc-
tion, a railway from Geelong, the principal port and
future capital of Western Victoria, a line for telegra,
phis communication soon to be established from the-
metropolis to Ballarat and the 13eitthg-o. Add to this the
pushing, persevering, go ahead character of the popula-
tion, the enterprise visible everywhere; and we have
more than twice the number of places of amusement
and recreation than are to be found in Geelong, and
all more extensively patronised. Theatres, Olympic
circus, ball 'rooms, concert rooms, American bowling
saloons, and lecture rooms, all supported by talent and
ability of the first order ; so much so, that a trip to
town to enjoy holiday recreation is no longer felt; in
fact, the scales will soon be turned, and the good, quiet,
steady folks of Geelong will have to come to Ballarat
to enjoy their holidays.
" But, says the distant reader, surprised, what is there
to maintain such a state of things ? We will tell him.
There are hundreds of square miles known to contain
gold, in and around Ballarat, that have not yet been
touched, and which will, no doubt, furnish nuggets in
galore, for years and years to come, and good wages to
the fossicker for a century, while the great depth of the
sinking will render its impossible that the ground can be
reasons combine to indicate
worked
,v o
"Very
the
numepresentrous a ge.
r
that Ballarat has a splendid and glorious future before
it, and that it is destined to be one of the most im-
portant cities in Australia."

The half-yearly general court of proprietors of
the Bank of England was held this day, J. G.
Hubbard, Esq., the governor, in the chair, who
said ho had to inform the court that thenaektipnrgotfihtes
of the half-year were 625,3261. Gs. ld., making
amount of rest on the 31st of August, 3,654,9121.
Bs. Id. After the dividend now proposed of 4i
per cent. for the half-year free of income tax, the
rest would be 3,000,0271. Bs. id. The dividend
was agreed to unanimously.
The Consol market was tolerably firm at the
commencement of business, but there has since
been a delivery of stock, and a reaction has in
consequence taken place from to 95g I. Time
bargains have been entered into at 95g- 1, and since
at 95g There is, however, scarcely any specu-
lation on foot, and we shall probably have a very
dull account until the October settlement takes
place, so many persons being now out of town.
Exchequer Bills have been 6s. to 9s. and East
India Bonds 9s. premium. Exchequer Bonds,
both of 1858 and 1859 have been done at par.
Bank Stock for account is steady at 213.

In the foreign market there is a heavy tone.
The Turkish Scrip has been flat at 5f to 51 pre-
mium. Russian 41 per Cents, have been Mi.
Brazilian Old Stock is quoted 101 i and Buenos
Ayres 56. The Swedish 4 per Cents. have been
done at 871. Spanish and Mexican Stocks have
been merely nominal.

In the Railway Share Market, the settlement of
the account has been in progress, and has led to
an advance in the prices of the chief lines. The
transactions, however, are almost exclusively con-
nected with the account, and have been mostly in
the Great Western, Berwick, North Western, and
Midland. The Foreign Shares are merely nominal.
The Gold Mines are dull, and the Joint Stock
Banks in fair request. Crystal Palace shares have
been lower.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the 21fanchesto7Guardian of yesterday.)
:ND ,SCHESTER, Sept. 12.—We continue to receive
American advices in the highest degree favourable to
an ab undant supply of cotton. Although these accounts
hold. out the promise of a wider margin than has existed
for some time between the price of the raw material
and that of the finished article, whether yarn or cloth,
they certainly contribute to keep up a feeling of can-
tions ness in purchasing our productions, because of an
anticipated cheapening of their cost. Though cotton
of good usable staple does not yield in price at Liver-
pool., there is an impression that, in some degree, it
mum'. ere long do so. In yarns, we may instance the
Gem nans and the home manufacturers. But there is ano-
the r cause of sluggishness, and that is the general absence
of buyers connected with some most important foreign
malt•kets. The depression in India goods is ruinous.
Thore is a pretty steady demand for many kinds of
yarn s, and for printers, T cloths, long cloths, and do-
mestics ; we learn, too, from some sellers, that there is
some buying of India fabrics on rather better terms
thaw the lowest which were lately submitted to.
I i&LIFAX, Sept. 9.—There were more persons in our
Pie,:e Hall to-day than for some time past, and the gene-
ral tone was more cheerful. The yarn trade is tolerably
step sly. The spinners are moderately employed ; but
the prices are not proportionate to the cost of the raw
mat erial. Wool continues firm, but there is not much
doing, as the spinners are generally well supplied.
I:anfinaLE, Sept. 11.—We have had a brisk demand
for goods at the previous week's prices, and a consider-
able: amount of business has been transacted. The wool
market continues steady, and prices firm.

EUDDERSFIELD, Sept. 12.—There has been very little
ig in the cloth market again to-day, especially in
goo ds of low quality, which until lately have been
chiefly looked after. A few light sales have been effected
in fancy trouserings of good quality and in broad cloths
of superior make. In fancy vestings there is very little
doing. The wool merchants are doing very little, al-
though they are fnclined to do business on terms slightly
in favour of the manufacturer.
