CHEEsE.-This is now becoming much greater
article af export to England than it was an ar.
Gloster, or colored, but the plain American dairy
cheese, which is highly approved for its mildness
The Savannah Republican says that a cheese is
made IN Chattoga county, Georgia, which will bear
comparison with the best English Cheshire, and
that the dairy which produces it will furnish this
year $4,000 lbs of It, This is large quantity for
southern article Of that nature, and shows how
much the south is unnecessarily dependant on the
north for many articles Of consumption. A south
ern dairy which can produce $4,000 lbs. Of cheese
annually, should also manufacture butter to con.
siderable extent AT all events, we have dsiries in
this State which turn out cheese, which, after being
year old, cannot be equsled by any Cheshire.

The latest accounts from the north Of Europe are
Of similar character TO those last published. The
rade in wheat appears to have been dali at the lead
ing ports Of the Baltic. The price Of wheat at Dan
Ec was quoted at 34s to Dos. per quarter on Dutch
account The value Of wheat at Rostock, Stettn
&c, has for some weeks past been merely nominal
At Hamburger brisk trade is going on, wheat be.
ing in fair request for shipment TO France. The ac
counts from Holland and Belgium are not Of much
interest this week, the inquiry for wheat having be-
come rather slow as well at Rotterdam as at Ant.
werp. In the Mediterranean, prices Of wheat ART
even higher than in the Baltic; and far from sup
plies being likely to reach from thence, there is
strong probability of some Of our bonded wheat be-
ling shipped TO thatquarter. ..n....'

LospoE.--Durng the week, ending August 10,
the demand for wheat either homegrown or foreign,
was very limited and the trade done therein quite
inanimaied; and moderate was the quantity for

Of foreign floating changed hands for shipment TO
Belgium and the north Of France, at previous quo
tations The flour trade was dull and prices rather
low During the course Of the week, ending August
II, the trade became more buoyant, and on the l4th
factors refused TO accept former rates; and the few
lriAng bargains closed were at prices about ls per
or above those Of that day se'nnight. The English

From admirable article on "the naval force
and commerce of the world, in the last number Of
Hunts Merchants Magazine, we take the follow
ing instructive extract:
Great Britain exceeds every other nation, not
only in the amount Of its naval force but also in its
commerce. During the year lS43, there were
twenty-three thousand eight hundred and ninet y
eight merchant vessels belonging to that empire and
during the following year it was ascertaned that it
possessed nine hundred steam vessels, with tom
mage Of one hundred and thirteen thousand six
hundred and sevcnty-seven tons. At the present
time she has twenty-four thousand and sixteen YES
sels with a tonnage of three millions forty-four
thousand three hundred and ninety-two tons, en-
ployng one hundred and seventy-fvc thousand six
hundred and nlnety-one men. The United States,
which stands next in the amount Of its commerce,
possesses nineteen thousand seven hundred and
twenty vessels, with an aggregate tonnage Of two
millions four hundred and sixteen thousand nine
hundred and ninety-nine tons, those employing one
hundred and eighteen thousand seamen. We have
seven hundred and forty-hve vessels in the whale
fishery, tonnage Of three hundred and sixteen
thousand and nineteen tons employed in steam
navigation, the total number Of vessels upon the
axes being seventy-6fy-six of which are steam
boats.
"The commerce Of France employs thirteen thou
and seven hundred and eighty-two vessels; Swe-
den five thousand four hundred and fifty, with
tonnage Of four hundred and seventy-one thousand
seven hundred and seventy-two tons; Holland one
thousand one hundred and ninety-fve; Russia en-
poys about two hundred and thirty-nine thousand
tons in the foreign and coasting trade; the two
Siciles have nine thousand one hundred and sew
enty four; and Austria perhaps six thousand one
hundred and ninety-nne vessels Of all descriptions
Turkey has two thousand two hundred and twenty
vessels, which are employed in the foreign and
coastlng trade embracing tonnage of about one
hundred and eghty-two thousand tons. The king
Ion Of Sardinia, including Genoa and the island of
Sardinia, possesses, moreover, three thousand hve

gate tonnage of one hundred and sixty seven thou
