his free discharge from the service and the

We extract the following from letter TO a res.
Pectable Commercial House in this place, dated
LIVERPOOL, October Is, 1910 'sThe ex
pectations which we entertained at the date OF
our last general communication, Esd August, as
to the re establishment ofpublic credit, have not
yet.beenrealIzed: speculation by means of which
a large fictitious capital had been raised, having
been eifectually checked, most of those whose
transactions had been thus rendered extensive
have been again obliged to bring them within
the limits OF their own property. To accomplish
this, great sacrifices have been made; but, in
many instances even these have been found ina.
dequate TO the exgencies of the parties, and ma.
ny extensive failures have in consequence very
recently taken place. Each considerable town
in the Kingdom seems 10 feel in ito turn the eff
feet Oft syytem, and we conceive that it may
yet be some time ere confidence is completely
restored during that interval, we shall most
probably have but very limited demand for pro.
dIce, and that at low prices, for the stock on
hand, generally speaking, is pretty considerable
The recent commercial DEGREES Of France,
which apparently had for their object the en-.
couragiDg OF the importation of colonial and o.
ther produce, have not yet had any beneficial ef.
feet in this country for until the duties pays-
bic in France undergo reduction, no advantage
can be expected to arise from shipments
"The Dutch, as well as the Danes, retain
their lnyeteracy towards ths country and, on
the shores OF the Baltic, the influence of France
IS making rapid strides it seems however pref
~ certain, that the Emperor of Russia is resolv
ed on opposing the encroachmeBt Of France, and
not at all improbable that hostllIties may be re-
commenced between the two couAtries.-Snce
Beinadotte has been appointed ruler of Sweden,
French principles will no doubt very shortly be-
come prevalent there, though for the present the
communication between that country and this IS
kept UP as heretofore.---
Viewing the state Of our commerce gene
rally, aud taking into consideration the low pitch
to which public confidence and credit have been
driven by recent events, we do not expect to
fGd our market resume its accustomed brisk
ness until tOwards the end of the present year
for the severe losses which the manufacturing
towns have sustained, must necessarily curtail
materially the consumption of NAM descriptions
of American produce, respecting winch We may
observe generally, that Tie scarcity of money
has latIerly occasIoned the prices to be very Nv.
