ports for the week, 477 bales, viz., 305 Iceland, 51
Buenos Ayres, 65 Scotch, and 56 Irish.
We give the following extracts from the circu-
lars of to-day. Messrs. W. GREAM and Co., say :
" Public sales took place here on the 26th ultimo and
two following days, when 5,752 bales East India and 895

bales Egyptian, TUrkey, Barbary, and other wools were
offered; there was a good attendance of the trade and the
usual competition for East India, which sold at prices
about equal to the last auction rates • a portion of the
other low wools was withdrawn ; sales have, however,
since been made of the better classes of Egyptian and
Turkey wools at a slight improvement on late current
rates."

Messrs. JOSEPH ROBINSON and Co. say :
"An improved feeling has been gaining ground in the
wool market, and, although in the early part of the month
the demand was far from active, still it was characterized
by more steadiness, in a great measure owing to home
wools having to some extent recovered from the extreme
depression which existed at the opening of the clip, to
which the late favourable change in the weather has con-

LATEST INTELLIGENCE

T H E

The following despatch from Vienr.

A R

—" At 10 o'clock on the morning of the 23rd, the Russians
attacked the Turkish intrenched camp near Giurgevo, but
were totally defeated, with the loss of 2,000 men and 5,000
prisoners. On the 25th 200 waggons L .ded with wounded
men arrived at Bucharest. The Turks are said to hava
been defeated in Asia by the Russian army under General
Anclronikoff."

A despatch dated July 25th, says :—" Since the brilliant

battle of Giurgevo nothing certain has transpired respect-
ing the intentions of the Ottoman army. At one time it
is affirmed that it will not retain Giurgevo, and at another
the statement is that the place is transformed into a
second Kalafat. It is, however, positive, that Prince Gorts-
chakoff has recalled an imposing force towards the Danube,
Colonel Kalif, an Austrian delegate, who has a mission to
the three Generals-in-Chief of the allied troops, is at the
head-quarters of Omar Pasha, and it is known that fresh
instructions have just been sent to him relative to the
understanding which he is charged to establish between
General Hess, Omar Pasha, Marshal St. Arnaud, and
Lord Raglan."

SPAIN.—A letter from Madrid states that the Queen
has addressed to the people a proclamation which has been
very well received. The militia has assumed the duty of
guarding the palace conjointly with the infantry of the
line.. Madrid is tranquil. General San Miguel displays
great activity in maintaining good order. The Madrid
Gazette contains the proclamation of the Queen. Her
Majesty in this document expresses her confidence in
Spaniards as well as in General Espartero. The procla-
mation also announces the meeting of the Cortes. Let-
ters received here from various points of Spain announce
that the country is tranquil. General Espartero entered
Madrid on the 28th.

ITALY.—A dispatch received by the French Govern-
ment states that Parma was tranquil on the 25th
July. Several of the insurgents had been killed and 17
wounded, in a skirmish which occurred on the 22d.
Two soldiers who had joined the movement had been
condemned and shot. Numerous reinforcements had
arrived.

ARRIVAL OP HAMI PACHA.— The Egyptian steam;
frigate Faid Gehaad arrived at Southampton on Saturdsi
night, bringing his Highness El Hami Pacha, the son °
the late Viceroy of Egypt, accompanied by Saleima Pacha,
Kherieddeen Pacha, and Abdallah Pacha.
CHOLERA IN SOUTHERN EITROPE.—The cholera has
appeared at Genoa, the Piraeus, Gallipoli, and the Dar"
danelles. General Ney is one of its victima. The Ottoman
Government has established a quarantine of five days all
Constantinople for vessels arriving from Marseilles, on
account of the epidemic. The French at the Piraeus base
obtained the use of the Royal Cadet School, a large and
convenient building, for an hospital. The Board of
Health at Genoa has just subjected arrivals from Mal"
to observation, in consequence of cases of cholera having
made their appearance there.
THE TABLE-RAPPING THEORY.—Dr. Schiff, of Frank'
fort, read a paper lately to the French Academy, in which
he professes to have discovered the mystery of spirit-raP;
ping. His attention was called to the case of a youn,
girl, near whose person noises attributed to spirit-raPPers
were produced. Dr. Schiff's observationslled him to con'
elude that the knocking had taken place within the body
of this young girl, not outside; and he has shown expel':
mentally that such noise can be produced by the reiterate('
displacement of the tendons of the long muscle of tbe
shin bone (muscle long peronnier) from the sheath in
which it glides in passing behind the external ancle bone
(malleole exlerne).
THE GOLD Snxrs.—The British declaration of war
against Russia had been received in Australia twelve dais
before the departure of the last mail. The principal P.ar;,'
of the Russian squadron in the Eastern Seas, consisto,.
of six vessels, has taken refuge, it appears, at the Dutch
settlement of Sourabaya—so that, in addition to the
extraordinary step of allowing loans to be contracted far
Russia in Amsterdam, Holland, while still ostensibly hold;
ingthe position of a neutral power, seems likely to acorn
noinconsiderable assistance to the Czar in other quarters.
At the same time, the danger of allowing these vessels
the advantages of such a station was illustrated by the
prevalence of reports that two Russian frigates Were
cruising in search of Australian gold ships.
THE PENINSULA AND ORIENTAL COMPANY'S fine ne!,
screw-steamer Douro was lost upon the Paracels, on the
26th of May. The casualty happened during the hurr.l.
cane which commenced on the 24th, and increased 01
violence during the next two days. The Douro struck on
a reef and became firmly lodged on the rocks, where she
held together until the gale abated and the weather bet
came ultimately quite calm. A four-oared boat was sent
off, and in eight days reached Hongkong, when two vessels'
the Malta and the Tartar, were despatched to the ass?",'
ance of those left on board the Douro. From the position,
in which that'vessel was lying, in from six to eight feet o!
water, great hopes were entertained that the Malta wade
succeed in saving all the crew and passergers, as well el
the mails and cargo.
LORD CARDIGAN'S EXPLORATION.—Lord Cardigan'
who has returned from his long and toilsome exploring
trip to the Danube, has brought back a budget of infor-
mation, which will probably be found useful in the future
operations of the war. No less than eighteen horses were
"knocked up" by the fatigues of the jonrney. His lord'
ship's description of the state of the country is about the
least inviting that can be conceived—everywhere barren,
ness, ruin, and desolation—provisions of all kinds conti
sumed or drawn away, whole districts depopulated, a°
everywhere bearing the marks of the recent presence
ruthless warfare. The noble lord had to "rough it"
the open air for seventeen successive nights with his Pal
of dashing Hussars, who speak warmly of his assiduous
attention to their health and comfort, and of the cord w,
soldierly spirit in which he shared every privation which
they had to endure.

The house then went into a committee of supply.
The remaining Estimates for the Civil Service were
agreed to, after considerable discussion, but without oppo-

ONIONS FOR FOWLS.—Scarcely too much can be said
in praise of onions for fowls. They seem to be a preveg

some time, not a drop fell either in the Strand, ?'der
street, or on the Surrey side of the water. The tb"-but
having subsided, the atmosphere became more clear'
not much cooler.

A TnounLEsomm SPOIISE.—M. de Quincey has tC
cently related how the well-known Andrew Bell n".,,,`"-

rated. The lady was constantly sending the doct j
letters, endorsed outside with records of her enmity,f',l3fo
