ensued in the field fighting though de-
spatch received via Vienna, (Which, how
ever, needs confrmation) speaks ofe bat.
tie in which the Russians lost 9, 900 men
and the allies uttered severely. Both
parties are in want of reinforcement<, hut
the besiegerS are in a worse condition in
this respect. All the mail steamers have
h-en taken up by the British govern
ment to be employed as transports for the

MONEY NATTERs.-The Baltimore

wears gloomy aspect. Ne may be
allowed tn suggest that there is one
method Of Frightening il up little. Let
not the rich man who owes the poor one
any thing put off payment even for an
hour. 4 single hundred dollars, .tarted
round in the morning, may pay a thou
sand before night If kept moving in the
proper channel. II is the disposition of
the money-Eolder to watch tor a larger
percentage that gives the gloomy as
