As compared with the corresponding six months
Of 1856 tie reduction has been only f5006l2. With
regard TO imported commodities the chief feature
consists in the large arrivals of wheat and -four,
which have been on a scale quite sufficient, with
TIC prospects of the harvest to account for the per-
maEeu' heavness Of the corn market. The arrivals
Of cocoa coffee, tea and tobacco have likewise been
heavy bu. IN the consumption of the two former
decrease is indicated while in that of tea there has
been an increase, tobacco showing no alteration.
OF wines and spirits both the imports and eonsump
ton exhibit reduction. Fruits and specs have
been taken largely.
The Monite,y Vin,cole of oath of July con-
tains the folowiDg:-Our antcipations with respect
to the price Of winc before the vintage of 1858 are
realized. We constantly opposed the hopes of au
early and considerable fall, because everything
seemed 10 lead to result contrary to that hoped
for. The greater portion of the wine which serves
for common use, far from falling in price manifests
marked tirmncss. This is the case in the Oreanais
the Cher, Nantais, Anjou, Saumuros, Charente, and
even in Burgundy. We do not comment on these
facts, We merely call attention to them. Oidium
continues to make slight progress in the districts
where IT has penetrated Brandies still anguish
ing at the principal markets. At Cognac and In the
Armagnac there is total absence of business. The
accounts from the cider districts are more favorable
since the rains, and large half crop is expected.
The London Ne,os of 26th of July remarks 1T
is to be hoped that Lord Stanley, before the general
dispersion OF Parliament, will be enabled TO lay be-
fore the house some more satisfactory statement
than he made on Friday night with regard to the
important subject of reinforcements for India. The
country is very naturally anxious on the point. IL
appears TO be pretty generally agreed among the
highest authorities that effective force Of no less
than SO 600 Europeans is requisite for the complete
suppression OF the insurrection-for the pacicaion
and Dply lff On nj InItn
sources OF information hitherto found reliable give
26 900 as about the actual numbers of effective
European troops now available for field service in
India. Lord Stanley, in answer to the question as
TO what reinforcements were going out contented
himself with stating, that from the month of Febru
airy to the present time nearly IL 900 have been
despatched to India, which would probably be suf-
fcient for the present. He did not state nor has
any statement yet been made by any member of the
government, whether these troops were really an
additional force, or only relefs whether they were
recruits or really efficient soldiers.
Financial difficulties have again been pressing hard
upon the Egyptian government. There was lately
some question OF loan being raised; but the oppos
ton made by all those interested in the succession
Of the Pashaiic was so determined that from the
Eat il was quite manifest that any such inten.
ton, even If seriously entertained could not be
carried into effect. The debts Of the government
are estimated at about two millions sterling less
therefore than six months revenue, aud consist
chiefly Of sums due 10 merchants for goods furnished
and OF arrears OF pay due 10 employees.
