STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, SEPT. 16.—We
can merely this week confirm our last report : the de-
mand continues limited, the manufacturers suiting
their purchases to their present inconsiderable wants.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, SEPT. 6.—There
is little or no variation in our wool market this week.
On the one hand, stocks are light in the market, and
on the other, the demand for all descriptions is ex-
ceedingly languid, and prices are•barely sustained.
TRADE OF LEEDS.—
There has been noimprove-
ment in our cloth markets this week, on comparison
with the markets of last month. The demand still
continues very dull for cloths of fine and middle qua.
lities : the principal articles which are selling are
beaver cloths, heavy tweeds, and fancy cloakings.
Pilot cloths continue to be less in demand this season
than usual. Business has been a little better in the
warehouses this week, and as the drapeis are begin-
ning to make their purchases for the winter, there is
some probability that trade generally will be better
during the next two months than it has been for some
time past.

BRADFORD MARKET, TKURSDAY.—We have had a
full attendance of merchants in the Piece market, and
more business has been done than last week. Both
plain and fancy goods are in demand, and of neither
description is the market very abundantly supplied.
The manufacturers, however, will do well to exercise
caution, and not produce any goods for stock, or they
may suffer a repetition of what many have felt in
former times, and which it is always policy to avoid.
We learn that the demand for yarns continues steady,
chiefly for home consumption and the De LaMe trade.
The shippers are hardly doing as much as is usual at
this season. Prices steady. There is a good supply
of all kinds of wool in the market, and the staplers
complain greatly at the prices offered by the spinners,
which are not commensurate with the rates demanded
by the growers ; consequently rather less than an
averagels done.—Leeds Mercury.

CHILIAN AND BUENOS AYRES
BONDS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE. SUN.
SIR—In your paper of this day I noticed the aa-
vertisement for the payment of the " forty-first divi-
dend" on the Chilian Bonds ; this induces me, as a
considerable holder of the Buenos Ayres Bonds con-
tracted for that Government by Messrs. Baring and
Co. in the year 1826, to inquire, through the medium
of your paper, how it is that the expectations held out
on the removal of the French embargo last year have
not been realised ?
I am well aware that the accredited Minister from
Buenos Ayres to this country has strongly repre-
sented to his Government the claims of the Bond-
holders, which has in the most solemn manner pro-
mised its prompt attention thereto.
The amount of the loan is comparatively small,
being only for one million Six per Cent. Stock ; but
as no dividend has been paid since July, 1827 there
is 90 per cent. of overdue coupons.
T
first contracted was consideredcetai
r best ioo f an,
all the
South American securities ; the
certainly the high re-
spectability of the contractorsstamped this stock as
fir was
Al, and some time it quoted in the Stock
Exchange Lists even higher
than Chilian, whereas
worth
this latter stock is now 90 per cent., whilst
Buenos Ayres, with its overdue coupons included, is
quoted only 18 to 20 per c
ent.—l am, Sir, &c.

CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 27.—Great and glorious
. Inews from Circassia! You know well enough that
the Russians, with their Minister of War, Count
Tchernicheff at their head, were by their insatiable
lEmperor intended to knock the Circassians into
cocked hats this year. Communications were lately
made to the Circassians to come to terms of peace,
and to gain time they promised to meet the wishes of
the Russians, provided they could come to suitable
terms. Upon this basis a truce was agreed to. In
, the meanwhile there was a great gathering of the
1
I warriors of the mountains, most of whom had no more
to do with the truce than the man in the moon. They,
therefore, determined to attack the Giaours' camp.
A few guards excepted, the whole of the . Russians
were about break of day snoring as comfortably .as
well-fed pigs in a sty, when in rushed the moun-
taineers, sword in hand ! Cut and thrust did every-
thing, and many a slumberer, before he had time to
finish his nap, was sent to his eternal sleep. such was
the rapidity with which the warriors came on, that
the Russians had no time to
.form and draw.• up in
battle array, before they' Were dispersed, and the
majority destroyed. Nothing remained but for such
as had the power to run, to try their speed, many
being cut down in their course. This occurring not
tar from a Russian fortress called Mazga, in the
north of Abascia, most of the fugitives made for that
place, where they could find arms and hoped to rally,
but the pursuers were close upon their heels, and
got into the fortress along with them. All who
resisted were cut down, but there was still some
fighting, and fifty of the mountain warriors fell,
whilst about one hundred more made their
exit on the bastions, which were blown into the air
by the explosion of a mine or magazine. This en-
raged the survivors, and many Russians' who would
otherwise have been made prisoners became, like their
companions, dead men. In a word, the slaughter was
dreadful, but subsequently the conquerors
sparedcounttrt
lives of a great many, and sent them up
They then collected their booty, which to them was
valuable, as they were in want of ammunition of
wh:ch they here found an abundance. The horses,
arms, clothes' and everything of value being abstract.,
eel, they set fire to the wooden buildings, and fume.,
(fiat ely abandoned the fortress for the benefit of future
evaders. This is the account I hare heard, but
don't ask dates, precise localities, and so forth, for
they are never to be had from the Circassians. The
Russian blockade was most severe on the coast. Only
three Turkish boats or vessels were there, and they
•

.- •
were burnt ; the Circassians, therefore, to come over,
had to purloin the cutter of a Russian brig of war,
lying at Nardan, which they did very cleverly, laid
' three men got over to Asia Minor in this way. They
say that among the prisoners were a great many °d-
eers and one General. They state the number of Ibis-
dans at 20,000; but if they were half the number I
should say it was a brilliant affair. Accounts from
Crimea state that a great many wounded men had
reached that place, but whether from this battle or not is
not said. They came from Circassia, and as thellu4sians
had been equally beaten in two other engagements,
one at Daghistan, and one at Sotcha, I cannot say
where they came from. They say that Sir Stratford
Canning has positively declared to his Court, that un-
less 'England will support him in destroying the state
quo of Syria, he will cut his stick, and abandon the
embassy. Every body will be sorry for this except
the Turks, with whom, it is `said, his Excellency can-
lilt agree. My own opinion is, that in any c.sse
people will get up a row in Syria, and that if the
Turkish Governor were an Aristides, with the man-
ners of an angel, he would be represented as a devil.
Christians in general, arid-ROtish Protestants in par-
ticular, want a Catholic power to be created on the
mountains, under the influence of France. If not
exactly my opinion, I admit that it is that of the ma.-
sority of persons here, and probably elsewhere. There
a a rumour that Tahir Pacha, the Grand Admiral, is
likely to be sent to command the army arrayed against
Persia.

A letter from Alexandria,: of Aug:- 26, states that
the Pacha of Egypt is about to issue a year's pay to
all his forces, having already commenced with the
marines. The prospect of the circulation of so much
specie had put the traders there in high spirits.
The fleet was about to sail on a three months'.
cruise : its destination was not known, but it was
supposed only to be for exercising the navy. The
rollowing portion of the letter is of more inter-
sit The intelligence ere . this doubtless has
reached your island that the Pacha is about to send
Artem Bey on board the Egyptian steamer Nile to
Alarseilles, and from thence to Paris, to present to the
King of • the French and the Royal Family certain
cadeaux. The commissary will leave in the course of
two or three days. Artem Bey, it is said, has received
orders to obtain a loan of six million dollars from some
if the moneyed men in Paris. As to his success, one
scarcely knows what to state ; for, as M. Tiers is not
is he once was, we doubt whether M. Guizot's
influ-
mnce is sufficient, notwithstanding one can say, m
,tuth, that the Paella's position is infinitely better
than it was before the Syrian campaign. It is further
said, that Osman Bey, son of ScheritT Pacha,
leave here with Artem Bey for Paris, for. the purpose
'f remaining in that city to acquire the French lan-
4iiage. We understand there has been much alter-
ation the Paella and the Sardinian Consul-
General of this place, on the:subject of the Pacha
caving requested him to dismiss the Vice-Conssd at
:'afro, who had treated one of the custom-house office's
in a way that was not becoming. The Nile is rising
`'avourably, and the aspect of the crops very promis-
ing." For some time past a frightful mortality-has
taken place here amongst oxen and cows. Out of
5,000 head of cattle, purchased by Mehemet Ali in
Sennear, not more than 500 have arrived at their des-
tination. This loss, which at first sight would appear
simply a misfortune to the Government, may even-
tually prove hurtful to the population at large ; for
the carcases are thrown into the canal which supplies
Alexandria with . water, and. disease may affect the
public health from the unwholesome state of. the only
water the inhabitants can make use of.

Movements (since the 26th of August).--The Pro-
metheus steam-packet left for Marseilles on the night
of the 26th of August, with the overland India mail
for England, brought by the Great Liverpool from
Alexandria, which vessel continued her voyage for
England on the 27th idem, on which day the Alecto
arrived from Gibraltar, bringing the intermediate
London mail of the 13th. L'Aigle sailed on the same day
for. Corfu, and on the 30th the Polyphemus left for
Patras and the lonian Islands with the mails. The Locust
steam-tender returned from Marseilles on the 30th.
The Savage returned from her cruize in the channel of
Malta. on the Ist inst., without having encountered the
French fleet under Admiral Hugon, but which is
known to have been at Ajaccio on the 20th nit. The

it is generally supposed it will turn out a mere. cruize
between Malta and Sicily to kill time until the arrival
of the overland mail from England of the 4th inst.,
looked for by the Prometheus, from Marseilles, on
the 12th, when the Oriental will be also due from
England. The Commander-in-Chief (assisted by Sir
P. Mason), continues to exercise, soon after daylight,
the armed boats of the fleet, twice a week ; and on.
Wednesday last the Queen was inspected at quarters
at nine o'clock at night. The Medea is to relieve the
Cyclops at Alexandria, and the Locust will probably
be attached to the lonian command. Mr. Lister,
math, lately suspended from his rank (without being
brought to trial), and kept a prisoner at large on
board the Howe, has been allowed to join the Rodney,
on the application of Captain Maunsel. Lieutenant
Stevens has rejoined the Queen flag-ship, in conse-
quence of the lberia's running no longer to the lonian
Islands. She leaves fiir a trip to Constantinople on
I the 15th inst.
