There has been some check to-day in the
rising tone of the English Stock market.
Prices have partially receded, and the opera
tions for the rise have been much less numer-
ous Notwithstanding the RECEIPT of advices
from the Crimea indicating the retreat of the
Russians as something more than probable,
the tone of the market has not been influenced
by the foreshadowing of an event which is of
considerable interest The spectators forsee
danger Il, another quarter, and hare aeisely
| made a timely pause. The allusion made in
the money article of the Morning Chronicle
of Monday last to the possibility of a collision
with American interests, is to-day very plain
Iy spoken of in the leading editorial article of
the Times. in way to at once command the
attentive consideration of all whose views are
not bounded by the incidents of each day.
TO all who wish to arrive at something ike
an estimate of the future course of events to
direct them in the present crisis, and lead
them safely through the dangers by which
they are threatened, it is absolutely necessary
that they give free scope to the investigation
of the many subjects of deep and momentous
interest which are only beginning to attract
notice. 1t is well for spectators and holders
of stock. and for the entire commercial inter-
est Of the kingdom, that the prominent notice
TO-DAY given BY the Times to this subject was
made public just when the state of public feel
ing upon the critical aspect of affairs had
somewhat sobered down, rather than when
last week it was SO sensitive to every adverse
influence. The consequences might then have
been serious; but. as it is. the effect has been
to arrest al, asnfineLy feeling Of returning hope
