The weather, at the present time Is delight
fully pleasant quite favorable to ell kiads
Of out and in door business. The fall trade
with our merchants has not, as yet fairly
opened, but is gradually and steadily increas-
ing, and ell are looking few weeks ahead,
when the farmers will have finished their seed
ing operations, In anticipation of very gen.
eral Improvement in every department Of mer-
camille trade. All along our wharves, for
several days past, business generally has pre-
sented an unusually encouraging appearance.
The amount of merchandise arriving is larger
than usual, which seems to indicate that cur
merchants anticipate doing this fall and win
ter heavy trade with the back country.
R. Ould, Esq, addressed the Democratic
Association, last night, in quite spirited and
effective manner.
The religious revivals at both of our Meth
odist- churches still progress. Meetings are
held in each nightly, and good success has 30
far attended the exercises. Tomorrow morn
ing, at ii o'clock, Rev. Mr.. Speako, of the
West Georgetown church, will deliver dis
course upon the 18th verse Of the xvi. chapter
of st. Matthew.
The offeriRgs of beef cattle, yesterday, at
Drovers' Rest, amounted to $50 head, $50 of
which were sold at S3aS4 on the hoof, equal
to S6aS8 net, and averaging gross SO so, net
81. The other 100 were taken by spectators
for the Baltimore market. Old sheep and
lambs, of good quality, scarce and in demand.
Those offered yesterday brought 50. 50aS3 per
head.
There is no change in the -four market, and
but little offering or arriving. Wheat is heavy,
but not quotably lower. SPECTATOR.

The Wharf.-The excitement over the Cri.
mean news by the Washington continues to.
day. The moral effect of the fall of tie
south side Of Sebastopol must for the time be.
Ing be immense; yet 1t is very questionable
whether the Allies gain anything Of impor.
lance in establishing themselves in the ruins
OF the places blown up and reduced to ashes
by the guns Of the Russians, from the north
side. At least, until Fort Constantine and the
other north side defences are taken, their DO
sitions will be Of little use to the Allies. Thew
will afford them Judgement probably, from
which to invest the north side defences. If
the latter are provisioned, and stored with such
ornaments as they should have it is, not i'm.
probable that it will require another year to
reduce them; though 1t may be that the great
superiority Of the guns Of the Allies will ena.
bic them to blow them to pieces in a week.
But, having taken Fort Constantine and its
adjuncts, unless Perekop be taken, the Allies
viii have little more practical control of the
C.iEc. = before.
