COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

At the Stock Board the sales resulted in no material
changes. Reading Railroad shares were firm at 72 to
72k cash ; Hudson River Railroad advanced to 381;
Kentucky Six per Cents. maintained prior quotations,
104 ; Ohio Six per Cents. of 1860, 1031. The sales
were, as usual, largo in Illinois Central Bonds, at 684
to 691.
The demand for exchange has been moderato ; the
following are the rulini, rates :—•London, 1091 to 1091 ;
Paris, sf. 121 c. to sr. 15c. ; Amsterdam, 411 to 411 ;
Frankfort, 411 to 41i ; Bremen, 79i to 791 ; Hamburg,
364 to 361 ; Antwerp, 5.15 to 5.164.

The market for cotton remains inactive at last week's
rates. We continue quotations, although they could
not be realised were holders pressing on the market :

The sales of the past 5 days, amounting to 4,600
bales, have been principally for home use, and, although
our stock is unusually light for the season, holders have
pressed sales at a decline fully of kc. to fc.
There is very little disposition evinced here to pur-
chase for export, as confidence in the maintenance of
prices on this side is weakened by the improved pro-
spects of the crop and increased estimates, owing to the
continuance of fine weather in the south ; and in the
advices from Liverpool there is certainly nothing to
encourage shipments costing id. to id. " to sell" above
the rates there current on the 20th ult.
With dates to the 4th inst., by telegraph, from New
Orleans we have as yet no advice of killing frost.

RUSSIA.

In the Journal de St. Petersburg of the' 9th
inst. is published an elaborate enumeration o f the
misdeeds of the Allied fleets in the White. Sea
during the simmer. Some of the allegations .are
too palpably- exaggerated to require contradiction ;
others too trivial to deserve it. One thing in I.he
report is worthy of notice. A Norwegian w;
ir-
schooner crosr3ed the bar below Archangel on. the
23rd of August, having on board the Norweg. ian
consul for that city. It is stated that both -the
officer in command of the schooner and the consul
have served in the Russian service, and have had
Russian orders conferred upon them.
In the number of the same journal published on
the Bth inst. is a report of the state in which the
fortifications of Bomarsund, were left by the Allies.
The only passages of interest in this documen t are
as follows :

The clearing away of the ruins of the fortress INfould
be a work of very great labour, but would enable u a to
preserve a large quantity of building materials sti iii' in
good condition, such as the iron-roof plates, the bl o cks
of granite and freestone, still for the most part tin in-
jured. The heavy losses of the enemy, either laid low
by our fire or struck down by the epidemic, are evi dent
from the quantity of graves scattered over the w hole
surface of Aland. We remark, moreover, in the ans.
sian cemetery on the Island of Presto,more than 150
tombs, every one of which, it is asserted, contains s ,eve-
ral dead bodies. On some of the crosses placed on t hese
tombs we read this inscription—victim of the pest.
In order to judge of the system and means empl Dyed
by the Allied troops for attaining their object, it is suffi-
cient to cite a fact attested by a great number of pei s ons
who live at Aland. Before the troops intended for
landing were disembarked the inhabitants of this isl and
were excited by emissaries, who endeavoured to sor ead
the rumour that among the intercepted letters one was
found to contain the order for burning down all th e vil-
lages of Aland, and that the Russians had comm, !raced
putting it into execution by setting fire to the al iburb
and to Skarp:als. The pillage, to which the F rench
soldiers gave themselves up from the first, was s ui
quently stopped by their commanding officers, but. the
more or less violent proceedings on the part of ' the
enemy's troops towards the peaceable inhabitants d, a but
indifferently prove the severity of the measures ado p ted
for the suppression of the disorders.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter from Bucharest of the 6th in the Lloyd
of Vienna, says :—" At the pressing request of the
Alliod Generals, and particularly of France, Omer
Pacha is about to reassume the offensive, and to
proceed to the Pruth. The Turkish troops have
received orders to hold themselves in readiness
to march at a moment's notice. The Turkish army,
though animated by the bast possible spirit, is in
want of warm clothing for the winter."
The Ost Deutsche Postiof Vienna has the fol-
lowing from Jassy, dated the 10th :—" Prince
Ghika arrived here yesterday. Count Coronini
received him at the head of a body of Austrian
troops. The bishop, clergy, and Ministers were in
waiting for him at the foot of the grand staircase•
of the palace. In the State apartments were Der-
visch Pacba, Baron de B la, Baron Testa, Consul-
General, and a great number of functionaries and
boyards. Count Coronini presented to him his
suite. The Prince was received with cordial ac-
clamations by the people."

SUN OFFICE, Six o'Clock

RUSSIA.

The Russian Invalid, of the 27th ult., contains
a letter from Aland, pretending to give a true de-
scription of the attack made on the Bomarsund forts
upon the 21st of June. The letter is scarcely
worth noticing, further than to observe that it
claims, as a matter of course, complete victory
over the assailing vessels ; declares that no damage
whatever was done to the forts ; reduces the loss
of the garrison and troops to four killed mid twelve
wounded • and buries thirty-five English on one of
the outside islands. It further sets fire to and
burns the whole starboard side of an English cor-
vette, and sends them all off in a half-sinking con-
dition, amid the victorious hurrahs of the indomi-
table garrison.
.

The Russian organ at Betlin publishes a long
letter, purporting to have been written from Osel,
on the 30th of June. In this the customary com-
plaints are made against English attacks upon de-
fenceless ports, and carrying off private property
(vessels). The only portion of this document worth
notice is the assertion that small craft capturediby
our cruisers were employed for the purposes of sal-
vage, and had rendered good service in this capa-
city by contributing to get off five or six vessels
which had grounded at or near Collingy and Pid-
dut, between 1845 and 1853. These vessels were the
Alcona, of Portgorry ; Margaret, of Dundee ;
Joshua Carroll, of London ; Lively, of Cardiff;
Barossa, of Leith ; Crescent, of Sunderland ; and
Rosalie (French), of Bordeaux. The craft cap-
tured by our people are said to be the Concordia,
Swan, and Marie ; the first of 20, the other two of
10 tons each, value about 300 silver roubles, and
the property of M. de Toll, a retired public nine.
tionary and rich landed proprietor. Now, if it be
true that the three craft have performed the good
services attributed to them, which can easily be
ascertained, it remains for the English Government
to decide whether the vessels may not be restored
to the owner, without at the same time depriving
the captors of their prize-money.

ACCIDENT TO THE MAIDSTONE.

The Government chartered transport-ship Maidstone,
Captain Escott, which left Portsmouth on Thursday at
4 a.m., came in contact at 10.45 p.m. with a brig off the
Start, and entered Plymouth Sound yesterday forenoon.
The Start bore N.W. by W., distant 12 miles ; wind, a
moderate breeze from the north, variable. The ship was
on the starboard tack, under topgallant sails, and carried
a light at her bowsprit end. The brig was under all can-
vas, on the port tack, and was repeatedly and loudly
hailed by the officer of the watch and the pilot, who were
in the forecastle. No attention being paid, the Maid-
stone's helm was put hard aport, when the brig was
taken abreast of the foremast. Sail was shortened im-
mediately, and Captain Escott offered help. The brig
inquired her name, and then appeared to continue her
course up Channel. The Maidstone lost her flying jib-
boom and spritsailyard, and had'her cutwater damaged.
She has on board nearly 300 soldiers belonging to the
6th and 73d Regiments, for conveyance to the Cape of
Good Hope, and will probably be placed in dock at Key-
ham fur examination and repair.

WHITEHALL, JULY 31.

The Queen has been pleased to constitute and appoint
Joseph Haythorno Reed, Esq., to be Major in the Artil-

BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, AUG 3.

The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received,
through the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the en-
closed copy (translation) of a Proclamation respecting an
alteration in the Lighthouse at Koster, on the coast of
Sweden.

(Copy.) (Translation.)
PROCLAMATION.—The Royal Administration of Marine
announces, for the information and guidance of mariners,
that a lens apparatus of the 4th degree, with a fixed light,
and giving out sharp flashes at short intervals (a, feu fixe,
varie par des eclats et par courtes eclipses), was put on the
Northern Lighthouse at Koster, instead of the blue light
which was there before, and that the lighting of the same
began on the evening of the 23rd of June last. According
to the trial ordered to be made to obtain information
respecting the extent and power of the light of this light-
house, compared with the lens-light of the 3rd degree, with
a fixed light, which is placed beside it, the flashing light
was visible at a distance of 3 geographical miles, and the
flashes, which only lasted 7 seconds, gave out as much
power as the light of the fixed lighthouse.

the brokers might generally be dispensed with, but as they
must be employed in some cases, it was better to leave a
discretion with the court.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the supposition of
Mr. Murrough respecting the removal of the clause was so
monstrous that it carried its own refutation with it. This
question had been thoroughly considered in the House of
Lords, and they thought it a security to the creditors, in a
great variety of cases, that the employment of a broker
should be continued where it was thought necessary by
the court.
Mr. MURROUGH said the messenger could do every-
thing for the purpose of an inventory; to make a valuation
it had always been necessary to call in a third pa y-
clause was negatived without a division, and the
house then resumed.

SPORTING( •IIiTELIOENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER, YESTERDAY.
Those who had not left for Brighton mustered at the
Post-office Hotel to-day, and a disposition was shown to
bet upon the Ebor Handicap and St. Leger, but few in-
vestments were made. At the commencement Heapy
was introduced for the Ebor, and was supported by one
gentleman to the tune of upwards of 1001. at 5 to 1,
but without making him any better favourite, the same
figure being currently offered at the close, and, in some
quarters, as much as 6to 1 was laid. This " flash in
the pan" we understand, was caused by a groundless
report being put in circulation, that 2 to 1 was taken
freely about him at Brighton. King Tom for the St.
Leger retrogades in the market, while Dervish, on the
other hand, has an upward tendency, and any advance
upon 5 to 1 would have been taken to money at the close.
Owing to so little having been done, and the principal
speculators being at Brighton, it would be superfluous
to give a long list of quotations.

taken in the Leeds district to have its various products

gentlemen present representing the woollen, flax, ma-
chine, and other staple manufactures of the district. An
influential executive committee (having the Mayor for
chairman)
was appointed to take the necessary steps and
organise the various exhibitors. After the committee
