LIVERPOOL CoTToN MARKET, Tuesday even
ing, Aug. 20-The excitement of 10000 bale
day in cotton, 10000 bought by one house,) has
produced its natural resut-a collapse. There
is now little doing in the staple and prices have
declined full I'D per b.; yet this begets 10
life or animation. Some say it is only the COM
mencement of n second decline; and others,
more firm, laugh at the chicken-hearted policy
of some holders who cry out before they are
hurt We think quietness should be the course
of things; for, as we have lattery written, un-
til the season is more advanced all calculations
of crop are futile but it cannot be overwhelm-
ing, and may be under an average. Sales yes
terday of 5000 bales, and to-day 1000, chiefly to
consumers.

remained unchanged.
Denmark nm Schleswig. Accounts from
Schlcswig Holsten represent that the field oper-
ations of bot! armies have been completely sus-
pended, but the general impression is that this
will not be of long duration. Some of the
newly recruited Germans are said to be already
murnuring at the inactivity, but they are COM
PEELED to submit.
Belgium. Accounts from Belgium state that
large tract Of country has been overtlowed.-
The nundation extends over 90 miles-nearly
all tile low lands are flooded, and corn is floating
about, presenting desolate scene. Thousands
of acres arc under water on each side of the rail-
way, and itmight be taken for vast lake, were it
not for rows of tree tops that mark the margins
of the submerged fields.
France. The speech Of Louis Napoleon at
Lyons, on. the occasion of the great banquet
held there, has produced much sensation The
general feeling among the legtimists and demo-
Gratis, is that of satisfaction. Louis Napoleon
announces his determination to remain ut the
head of affairs public opinion should favor him,
without regard to obstacles placed in his way by
the trainers Of the Constitution.
