Avery nective business has been done to-day in almost all dercriptions of staple goods, an¢ rates for many of them have still further advanced. This, in the face of the departure of the sienmer on Wednesday next, is a re- markable instance of the extent of confidence which is felt in the rcecni movement in goods, and is considered by many as an index of @ coniinvence of the specula.ive feeling at least thronghow, the coming week. In fact, it is somewhat difficult to sey at present how loag it will continue, inasmuch as ibeve i, undoubtedly a genuine foundation for the movemen. in the wants of the country. It should be borne in mind, however, sieadily, that the amount of goods which lies gone forward to the inierior during the ‘past month bes been unusually large, and that the merchants and {racers in the river end mining towns must by this time be well supplied with goods, As soon asthe country Comand falls away, the *pecu!.- tive part of the moyeinent will be left ina great degree without foundation, and when goods begin to accumulate, prices must recede. Theie is no scareity of goods in this market; on the contrary, the siocks of some of the art}- cles in which the heaviest operaiions have been conduct- el are sufficient for the supply of all the wants of the country for mon'is to come, while the amount of goods on the'way is very knge inaeed. At this moment there are over a dozen levge clippers over 110 days, all ringing large cargoes to this port, and mrny others t9 follow shortly.

Destruction of the Russian Fortifications at 4. PetropanlowskI—Abandonment ofthe Tow: =Meditated Attack of the Allied Fivtwda the Forts of the Amoor River, &c. Capt. Rosencourt ol the French brig-of-war Obligado, arrived at Sen Francisco on the morning of the 18th July, with the news that the Russians had abandoned Petro- paulowski some two months previous to the arrival of the combined French and English fleet, consisting of thir- teen vessels. ‘The following particulars, obtained from Lieut. De Jour- nel, of the Obligado, we take from the Allo-California:— DESTRUCTION OF THE FORTS AND FLIGHT OF THE INHABITANTS. ‘The allied fleet, consisting of eight war vessels and steamers, arrived off Petrop2ulowski on the 15th May, but the garrison had already lei for the Amoor River, in the Russian frigate Aurora, corvetie Dwina, and two mer- chant vessels. The escape of the garrison was a masier stroke on the part of the Russiar:). who availed them. selves of a dense fog which set in on the night of the 17th April, and so eluded the English war steamers Encounter (screw), of 14 guns, and Baracounter (side-wheel), of six guns, which had been blockading the harbor for fifty days previous. The orders to evacuate were received from the Russian headquarters in Siberia, On anchoring inthe harbor a detechment was sent 01 ;hore by the commanders of the fleets—cer-Admirel Bruce of the English, and Rear-Admiral Fouriehon (a newly appointed exceedingly energetic man of only 45 years of age) of the Frene’t. Teey Innded and fond the town deserted, save hy about 100 Kamschatka dogs, a Ivench natural ized Auneri nd two Americans, who raised the stars and stripes over their houses when the forces landed, claiming that as the Russians had abandoned the place and left it to them, they weie the possessors of the soil. These men are engaged in trading, and are represented as doing a good business. ‘The dogs were ina starving condition, and followed the invaders about (own for bits of biseult. One of them was brought away hy Commander Rosencoat, of the Obligado. The Parties were divided into companies, proceeded to burn plow up and destroy the arsenals, storehouses and all government buildings. Not a vestige of any public work was left standing, except the hospital, which, with the chureh and the dwellings of the poorer classes of the in- habitants, was left untouched. The inhabitants com- menced deserting the place shortly after the garrison em- barked. Accompanied by the authorities, they started on or about the 20th of April towards Tehinsk; but the Governor's wite being encient’, the flight continued only to the small fishing village of Avache, some twenty miles inlend. ‘The fellowing day after the arrival of the allies, the de. struction of the fortifications commenced. These were fascines constructed of immense logs—the walls being sixteen feet in thickness. Such was their strength, they resisted all efforts for some time, and were finally razed to the ground by the agency of powder. It appears that the policy of the Russian government had changed rather soadealy in this matter. After the battle of last year orders came for strengthening the forts; and though at that time such a resistence was made as to repel the as- sailants, there being but one tier of guns, it was ordered to increase it toa double tier, The «lestroyers found em- brasures for fifty-one guns of heavy calibre. Why this sudden change of policy took place may, perhaps, be ex- plained by that on which the Russians have ‘always acted —of retiring into the interior from_their invaders, and avoiding decisive engagements, ‘This time, how: ever, hey have made nothing by the movement, and, with the increased strength of the plac, it would seem thet they might have made a more obstinate resistance than before. The fleets did not leave the place until the demolition was complete. EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS. The fleet sailed, with (!.¢ exception ‘he Trincomalee. ‘on board of which were left two Russian prisoners, whom it was proposd to exchange for a French sailor, whose arms was ampntated afier being taken prisoner in the bat- tle of last year. The American residents there report that they have lived in perfect peace and friendship with the inhabitants up to the day of their departure, and that the French and English prisoners were treated with hu manity, MORE WORK FORTHE ALLIED FLEETS~A WESTERN SEBASTOPOL. We hare been shown a& despatch dated in Petro- «ulowski, from Rear Admiral Fourichon, of the French ject, in which he states, after briefly recapitulating the facts above enumerated, that the Russian garrison, ‘as Le Journel informs ws) some 1,200 numberi men, hat mbtiess sailed for the imouth of the Amoor river, which drains the southern portion of Siberia, avd flows into the Gulf of § lien, an arm of the % of Ochotsk.

We learn that the above squarons will join at Petro- paulowski, whence they will to this port for pro- Nisions; they may be ex in about three weeks. ‘The officers of the Oi will separate, the English making @ rendezvous at Vancouver's Island and the French here: both fleets, however, will come direcily to this port. Their arrival will increase business to a considerable extent. ‘The English fiigates Picve and Amphitrite have sailed for the sea of Ochotsk, (o join the rest of the fleet; also the two steamers which were for- merly employed in Mlockading Petropaulowskl. ‘The French steamer Prowy will be here ina few days. The fleots will sail to the Amoor river after provisioning and fitting out at this port. IN MEMORY OF THE DEAD. Rear Admiral Eruce, while at Petropaulowski, caused a handsome fence to be erected around the cemetery in which were buried the bodies of the killed of the Russians and allies, in the battle of last year. A large tablet, bear- ing a Russian inscription in commemoration of the fight, was erected, which, as it refers to allalike, will doubtless be respected when the Russian inhabitants return, country, when the fleets a hed, presented a grand and sublime picture. The lofiy mountains, from their peaks down to the very shore, were ‘vlad in a mantle of snow; the cold was not severe, All was gloomy, silent and desolate. It snowed almost incessantly for three weeks while the Obligado was there. The brig left Val} piraise for the Sandwich Islands; proceeded thence td amtschatka, and thence here. She has.seen some very severe weather at the North, Forther Particulars from Sitka—The Place Not Evacuat nt of M, Kostvo- malt, he eeeen Consul. From Alta California, July 24. We learn from the Russian Consul, na FRestromitkoe, that the intelligence published in the moming papers of sterday, is untrue as regards the evaceation of Sitka the Russian residents. It will be remembered that there is now a convention existing between the Hudson Bay Company ana the Russian Ameriean Company, which was colebrated at St. Petersburg and London, hy the provisions of which this portion of the Rus” ston possessions is exempted from hostilities, Con- sequently, there could be no danger of the Allied fleets committing any depredations, nor is the Governor of Sitka, or his officials, so ignorant of the chivalry and magnanimity of the French and English marine’ as to suppose that they would override the stipulations of tho British government, and attack a defenceless place. ‘True, the French have not entered into this treaty, but the very inlrumanity of the destruction of a trading post, occupied by harmless inhabitants, and almost defence: less ins and men, would be enough to ensure its safety. ‘The movements of the allied fleets in the Pa- cific, up to this time, have been characterized by a com- mendable regard to the behests of humanity, Cn the arvival of the fleet, the Brisk was scet in to communicate with the shore, The Governor seni off his pee to stete that he hoped the provisiors of the Convention would be observed, as the place was w'thout the means of defence and unprepared to make eny re- sistance, The Commander of the Brisk replicd th: ¢ thoy had only entered the plece (o ascert:in if the Dwina or Aurora were there; in which case, the I’verch floet would have cut them out; but no herm was in‘oaded to the town. The reports regarding the siaiving condition of the Rusian American’ Commorcial Compsuy we learn from Mr. Beverly ©. Sanders to be also unfounded. —W’vo- visions were pleniy.

The town contains a po- uation of abont one thousand, a mixture of whites and indians, This country was taken possession of by the cclebrated Russian buccancer Schelehoff, in 1778. The harbor is excellent and will easily acoommode(e hundreds of ships. We learn that the operations of the Ice Com- Pany have produced a marked effect upon the business of the place. ‘The inhabitants were peacefully pursuin their daily ayocations when the flest left. No panic ha existed, nor had any of them fled into the interior. Drstiretion 1 TR AMERICAN Ick COMPANY AT SiTKA.— It was reported that Sita wos in the virtual porcersion of the American Ice Company, who report tht the Pus- sian inhabitan(s afier learning the intended virit of the allied fleet to the place, notwithstanding the treaty of protection, abandoned the place and fled into the ints- rior, We learn that the Ice Company was ina siarviry condition, having been in daily expectation of a vos'el from San Francisco loaded with provisions, This was nine days ago, and the vessel had not arxived whou the flect left. ‘The war vessels cupnlicd them temporeiily with provisions.

The Supreme Court of the Second Judicial district, Judges Brown, Strong and Rockwell presiding, have given a decision in the tase of the People against Philip Bier- berricke, accused of selling lager beer at Poughkeepsie, contrary tothe provisions of the act for the “suppression of intemperance, pauperism and crime.” The decision of the Dutchess county count is reversed, and the defend- ant discharged from his arrest. In the case of Thomas Toynbee, the proprietor of a ho- tel in Brooklyn, in which a few bottles of imported liquors had been seized by a mutual consent between the complainants and the defendant, for the purpose of test- ing the validity of the law, and in which Justice Smith, of the Court of Special Sessions, before whom the defend- ant was brought. made a decision forfeiting the liquor, and fining the defendant $50, the decision of the Jus- tices’ Court is reversed and set aside. Both the above cases were argued at the general term of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn, in July, and of which there was full report given in the Heraid at that time, The sbove decisions were rendered at Poughkeepsie aud forwarde:| to the County Clerk of Kings county. J Holmes hr E Sehr hr Cold Blooded Murder in Elm Street, ARREST OF THE PERPETRATOR AND HIS CONFESSION OF GUILT—SINGULAR CASE. ‘Yesterday morning, the inhabitants in the neighbor. hood of Elm and Canal streets, were thrown into the moat intense excitement in consequence of a cool and deliber- ate murder that had been perpetrated at No. 113 Elm street. From what information we could obtain about the matter, the circumstances in the case appear to be as follows:— About half past six o'clock A. M., the attention of the residents of the house in question was called to the main landing on the stairway, by the report of a pistol that had evidently just been discharged. At the foot of the stairs the bleeding body of a man named Henry Bloom- x, while beside him stood the form of one Robert Bulius, with o pistol in his hand, gazing upon the writhing form of the dying man. Thealarm was instantly ralsed, when Bali +, in the confusion of the moment, retreated up stairs to his room. Officer Connor, of the Sixth ward police, being fn the neighborhood and seeing the crowd, which had collected round the doorway, promptly pro- ceeded to the scene of blood, and, on hearing of the affair, rushed up stairs, Om opening Buhlius’ room door he beheld the latter sitting coolly ona chair, while beside him, on the floor, Isy the pistol, (a single barrelled duelling one.) which had s few minutes previously done the work of death. The prisoner, on being arrested, pointed to the weapon and said, ‘That is the pistol that shot Bloomer with.” He was forthwith conveyed gee was then fant ebbing from fn hasty te y og broast—was conveyed to the New’ York Hoxpital on a iitter, re he was carefully attended by tho house surgeon, who applied stimulants for the purpose of rallyi: y news being com- anicated Po ortice Coast , then sitting at the Lower to the na!
