MONEY.—There is little, if any, positive improvement
in the state of trade generally. ahe excitement in mone-
tary and stock circles seems to be gradually subsiding.
The money market is gradually working easier, under
increased supplies of unemployed capital. The rates of
prime paper, having from 30 to 90 days to mature, are 8
to 12 per cent., and on call 6 to 7 per cent.
COTTON—(From Mr. W. P. Wright's Circular, of
August 9.)—The business in cotton during the past week
has been of a limited character, confined chiefly to the
requirements of our domestic consumers, and to the
execution of a few continental orders. For Liverpool
nothing of moment has been 'done. The total sales I
estimate at 5,000 bales. As to prices there is no marked
change. The better qualities are in limited supply, and
held firmly. Our stock is reduced to a very low figure,
and cannot be over 15,000 bales, of which probably not
one-half is unsold. We continue without complaints from
the South in relation to the growing crop, which is unusual.
The hot weather which has prevailed since the end of June
has brought forward the plant rapidly ; with the con-
tinuance of favourable weather a large crop may be
anticipated.
PROVISIONS.—Mess pork is in fair demand at $l2 to
$122 ' • prime, $lO2 to $101; clean, $l4 to $l4l. Lard is
in moderate request at 91c to lOte ; for prime fair to good,
9ic to 91c: kegs, 10-ic to 10Ic. Cut meats are not as
plenty, and the demand is fair. Hams, in pickle, 6.1 c to

BREA.DSTUFFS.—UntiI the new crops begin to coins
forward there is noyrobability of prices receding materially;
ou the contrary, a .further appreciation seems to be confi-
dently looked for by the trade. Canada Flour remains scarce,
and firmly held. Southern flour is lower, the receipts of
new having been extensive. Old is scarce, and relatively
firmer than new. Rye flour is scarce and firm, with small
sales at $5,50 to $5,75 for fine, and $7 for-superfine. Corn
meal is also scarce and firm. The wheat market is dull
and lower, the local trade buying only enough to supply
their immediate wants. For exports there is no inquiry
whatever, prices being considerably above the point at
which shippers are authorised to purchase. The new crop
begins to come forward from the south rather more freely.
ASIIES.—The arrivals continue light, and with a fair
demand, pot' have advanced 121 c to 181-e,"sales having been
made at $5 87-ic to $6. Pearl are fmm, with sales at
$5 50c to $5 Nit, which is also an advance.. Sal fEratus,
'NAVAL STORES.—Turpentine is in small supply, but
not in great request. Spirits turpentine is in moderate
demand, and unchanged. Tar is in small stock, and ship-
ping quality is scarce. Common rosin continues firm,
IRON.—The offerings of Scotch pig are not large, but
theldemand is light and market dull, with only small sales
at $4O to $40,50,-six months.

VAjNA.—On the 30th July, Marshal St. Arnaud issued
the annexed brief but stirring address to the soldiers of
the allied army :—" Soldiers of the allied armies !—We
shall soon advance into the territory of our enemy. I
rely on your obedience, on your bravery, and steadiness
in the fight. The task we have to complete is no light
one. The enemy we have to encounter is strong and
numerous. The 40 years of peace passed by us in pro-
moting commerce, industry, and the arts, have been spent
by him in the study of the art of war and in military
preparations. From your bravery and energy France and
England await a victory. The eyes of all Europe are on
you. Show yourselves the worthy sons of your brave
fathers. We march into the land of the enemy resolved
ou victory. As conquerors we must see our fatherland,
or never more return:'

THE BALTIC.
LANDING OF TROOPS IN ALAND

h troops in Aland

From the Sth to the 11th the Frer
erected their batteries.
The fortress of Bomarsund was invested on the 12th,
when the Russians made a sortie with a strong body of
sharpshooters, but were repulsed.
The bombardment is expected on the 14th.
The Hamburg iVaehrichten has the following letter,
which gives a short account of the landing of the French
troops. It is dated Bomarsund, August 7, and runs as
follows :—" When you receive these lines you will, it is to
be hoped, have intelligence by telegraph of the occupation
of Aland. On Sunday, the 6th, the first ships left Led-
sand, with troops for Bomarsund; in the evening the
Admiral's ship, l'lnflexible, left with the general on board,
and on Monday the whole of the troops were tent off,
principally in steamers. On Tuesday morning the landing
commenced by means of large boats, and 3,000 men were
sent ou shore. They were immediately fired at by two
Russian masked batteries, without doing any damage ;
but the Russians were obliged to retreat into the fortress,
leaving behind them six guns which fell into the hands of
the French. The two Russian forts are mounted with
from sixty to eighty guns - and 'one fort is said to be
very strongly defended. The landing took place in pre-
sence of the General and the two Admirals. The troops
had to do everything, as the ships could not get near
enough for want of a sufficient depth of water. On land-
; ing, the French were with difficulty kept in cheek_ rtipv

charge with songs and hurrahs.
