TALK ON CHANGE.

The talk was varied yesterday. Early in the day
there was considerable activity, which was follow
ed by good demand for cotton, resulting in some
thing more than ordinary sales, when compared
with the daily operations for the past seven days.
After meridian rain commenced to fall, which
rather forced the requenters of the flags to retire.
Those active and useful members of the body
financial Qhe brokers in exchange) were, how
ever, on the alert, while the note brokers with
drew at an early hour, calling it half day.
The general qnietness and calmness in financial
circles were duly noted and commented on. The
money MARKET of course, is the chief topic TO talk
about. True, the prompt action Of the Govern
ment officers in Charleston came in for share Of
talk. We shall have full particulars by mail to-
morrow. The movement was expected, and created
no surprise on the flags. particularly among those
posted up in the current and expected events of
the times. Y
The great landing or leyee gives daily indications
of continued large receipts Of merchandise and
produce, particularly of produce from the great
West, which is pouring out the contents of its gra
naries and warehouses very literally. There must
be large shipments for two months to come, to be
sold, and the proceeds returned IN sugar, molasses
and coffee, with a good many thousands of sacks
of salt. We notice the clearance of one cargo of
5000 barrels Of flour for London. This is the first
cargo exported for Great Britain this season. The
receipts of Western productions are on larger
scale than last year at this time, will appear by
the following comparative figures for two years
past from the 1st of September to date:

Spontaneous OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES II
n New Phase.


The wonderful feats of table-tipping without
hands are likely to be surpassed by new atmos-
pheric phenomena, if the following incident, told
by late number of the Taylor Falls Reporter
Wisconsin, and authenticated by many witnesses,
is really reliable:
On Tuesday, while Mr.. Corey and his two sons
were at work in field near his house their atten-
rise from his stable. They hurried to the barn as
quickly as possible, and discovered pile of straw
on fire. This they Immediately extinguished and,
as they were returning to the field, the stable
caught in different places, which, by considerable
exerton, was put out Before, however, they had
left the premises another fire discovered under
meath the granary in pile of boards. The bottom
board was burnt nearly through, but the others
were not even scorched.
After this was put out Mr.. Corey sent one of the
boys into the house to ascertain if all was safe
there. He Immediately came out and told his
father that the house was on fire. Mr. Corey i'm
mediately ran up stairs where he found some
clothes, that his wife had laid away the day be-
fore, burning. They were thrown out of the win
dow, and from that time until late at midnight the
would catch, then mosquito bar, then straw
bed, ETC.. and it was only by the utmost exertions
of Mr.. Corey, aided by two gentlemen, Messrs.
Hale and Tradewell that the building was saved.
The fire continued to break out at intervals for
several days, and attracted many visitors. We
shall not attempt to give any cause for this won
derful freak of nature, but will leave the question
to be solved by some of our philosophers. These
facts, as we learn them from an Ye-witness are
true; and if any one can solve this mystery we
shall be glad to hear from them.

The War In China.

A dispatch of the I'd inst. from Washington to
the New York Herald says:
Dispatches were received this morning at the
Navy Experimentation Flag Officer Strblng COM
manding the Hartford, dated at Peiho, August 7th.
He saws 1--WE arrived at the anchorage off Peiho
river, having had a pleasant passage from Shang-
haze. We found only one Russian vessel. few
days after the Russian Minister arrived in frigate
and other vessels soon after Joined the Russian
squadron. The Allied feet commenced arriving
on the Both utimo, and had generally reached the
anchorage on the 3lst. On the I'd they commenced
disembarkng the troops. If the weather is favor
able they expect to have all their forces on shore
in day or two. They landed at fetang. where
they met no resistance This is the place where
Minister Ward landed last year when he went to
Pekin The Allies have met with greater difficult
ties than they expected the ships having to anchor
ten miles from the land. The attack upon the forts
at the mouth Of the Peiho will not, perhaps, take
place fer a week. The Allies are making every
preparation fer it, .@r4.
AS yet there is no indication that the Chinese
will submit without again irving their strength
with the Allies. Mr.. Ward, having had commu-
ncation with the Goyernor-G GeneraI and being
satisfied that he cannot be of any service to the
Chinese by remaining at this point, has requested
me to leave here aud visite Ch0foo, that he may
be able to communicate with the Russian Minister
until after the Allies have commenced operations.
Dispatches were also received this morning at
the Department of the State from Minister Ward.
He states that he communicated with the Gov
ernor-General, informing him that his object in
being there was to render his good services in
conjunction with the Russian Ambassador, to
effect pacification if possible. The Governor
Generals answer was very able, reeapitulating
the wrongs suffered by the Chinese at the hands OF
the Allies, and of their determination at all
hazards to resist invasion. The collision which
took place near Petang, between the Allies and
Tartars, is spoken of as uncertain in its result
VIM. B. Reed and Mr. Williams had an interview
with the President and Secretary of State to-day
in regard to Chinese matters. Mr.. Williams is our
present Secretary of Legation to China.

President Castillo still maintains hostile position
towards Ecuador but Flores counts upon the
patriotism of his countrymen, who he feels as

tempts to put his threats against Ecuador into
execution.
The government has decreed that the property
and offices of which Flores was deprived some
years since shall be restored to him. The Supreme

dues the paper money of the house of Lergerraga,
