THE HERZE6OVINIAN MR.

London, August 12. If Trickett beats Lumsden he will row Higgins.

In the House of Commons on the 7th inst., the Right Hon. S. Cave vindicated the results .of his mission to Egypt. Investigation led him to believe that the Khedive could meet his liabilities.

News to the 9th August state that the Turks have occupied the fortress of Zabsachan, and that the Servians are retreating. The Servians are also retreating from Siewitzka. A secord inquest on the body of Mr Bravo, supposed to have baen poisoned, has been held, and a verdict of wilful murder returned. The evidence, however, was nob sufficiently strong to fix the guilt on any person. THE WOOL SALES. August 11.

The recovery in prices ranges from 8 to 15 per cent, on the extreme fall, and is partly owing to the speculative action of the Yorkshire trade.
