(From the G. R. Argus.) Several failures have occurred in the iron trade at Cleveland. Advices from Dundee report great depression. Struley and Co., tea and sagar merchants, have failed. The Great Yorkshire Handicap was won by Bostiglier. Fighting between Servians and Turks before Alexinatz commenced on August 18th, and continued until the 4th September. The Servians gained several successes, driving tbe Turks across the left bank of the Moravia River. The fighting was hard with great slaughter on both sides. The Russian volunteers -specially distinguished themselves, and, as stated, Russian officers drove the Servians to battle with pistol and sabre, shooting down laggards remorselessly. The Servian loan was eagerly subscribed for at St. Petersburgh. On the 3rd September, the Turks bombarded Alexinatz, firing the town in several places, and severe fighting ensued, in which two villages near Alexinatz held by tbe Servian troops were burned, and the engagement resulted in great disaster to the Servian army, which became completely disorganised. Alexinatz was crowed with wounded and mangled, and a stampede from thence took place, and for ten miles on the road to Belgrade there was a compact moving mass of vehicles and cattle, people running away as fast as possible.
