8 RUSTCHUK AGAIN SHELLED, Destruction of the Remaining Houses in the Beleaguered Town. THE TURKS RETURN THE FIRE. Beinvestment of Rustehnk Probable Since the Retirement of Mehemet Ali. Rusreavs, Sept. 30, 1877. During July and the first half of the present month it would appear that Rustchuk bas been utterly ig- nored by the Russians, for the town has enjoyed per- fect peace and happiness since those terribie wn of June, and bas only been indirectly connected with the military operations going on in its ighborhood, at this living in clover was not allowed to continue uninterrupted, for on the 4th of August the town re- getved such a volley of shells that those who wore presont and live through what may follow will never lorget it, cur Boxo? It {8 difficult to understand what can be the meaning af the tierce bombardments to which Rustehuk has Deon subjected. if they are intended to agp as feints or blinds to conceal some other designs on the town well and good, but no movement bas yet taken place in connection with them, The Russians do not fre at th8 Turkish batteries and redoubta, as no doubt they would do were upy such designs iu contemplation, but purposely avoid them, treating them, as it were, wih silent contempt. The fire of the beavy siege guns is directed upon the houses and public buildings only, and the defences are left untouched. THE CANNONADE OF AUGUST 14, On the morning of Tuesday, the 14th, the Turkish garrison observed a large body of infantry behind the viliage of Slobozia, with several squadrons of cavalry; and, naturally supposing that they were thera to carry out some design against the town, immediately epened fire upon them and sent several shells into their midst; the batteries fired with great precision, and the Russian loss must bave becn considerable, This cannonade quickly dispersed the enemy and the firing then ceased, the Russian guns remaining silent Ali went on quietly uvtil four o’elock in the afternoon, when the Russians, in retaliation ap- parently for the loss of their men, or the disturbing of their plange—whicb is the prevalont idea here—or ‘with a view to the further ruim ef the town, oponed fire, frst from the Slobozla batteries and sbortly aticr- ward from the whole line extending to Giurgevo. The sheila feil with unceasing rapidity, more especially in the “Konak”? square and the Turkish quarter of the town, which has now almost ceased to exist, although shere still remain a few wretched houses, upon which the Russians can wreak their vengeance and waste their ammunition, DESTRUCTION OF A FLOUR MILL, While the bombardment was coutinuing the Bus- Biane observed smoke issuing from the chimney of a large flour mul, ¢he private property of a certain Cap» tain Jany, aGreek, This mill is situated above the River Lom, and being close to the banks of the Danube servod as an excellont mark for the Russian batteries, Captain Jany ha@ unfortunately started bis works that morning to grind some flour, not expecting any bom- bardment nor imagining that bis mill woud be touched, as he had rawed the Greek Uag to show his hauioualicy during the iast bombardment and escaped dargage. ‘nis time, bowever, he was disappoinied, for the Russians, woticing that tue mill was working, immediawely fred on it from two batteries, Alter a fow successful shots 1t was set on tre, aud pnuvning now remains of it except four black and charred wails, One of the first shells aimed at the building smushed through the wail, and, bursting im the interior, killed eight won and wounded many others; the loss to Capiain Jamy is considerabie, 4 NOCTURNAL UOMBARDMENT, Thoir success with the tour mill did not seem to sat- isfy the Kassiwns, lor tucy cuntinucd to tire irom the bwo batieries vear Slobozia during tho wuole night, tbe shells Letug SUll directed at the Darniug mill and its surroundings, the houses on the Lom, the furkisa quarter auu the Konak square.

Any doubt of this fict has been dispolied by the strength and activity dis- played in yesterday and to-day’s markets. The bull set rolling alter midday on Thursday was kept going for the most part of to-day and aggregated to itsclt sowe important fractions so fur ag: an addition to values went Tho trunk railroads, especially, were benefited by this improvement, the report that peace and harmony roigned among these lines wud that satisfactory freight charges bad been made and would be stuck to, boing vigorousiy pressed as good and sufiicient reasons for the same, ‘The liveliest speculation of the lot turned up im tbe shape of Michigan Central, which at one time showed aciean gain of five pots upon yesterday’s lowest figures, This stock is.6o hedged abou, by Mr. Sago’s privileges thas it 1s difficult to got at the true meaning of its fluctuations.

Be this so or not, it ts certain that avery builish feeling bas sprung up in Erie, and higher prices are confidently predicted, ‘Withintbe last week large purchases have been made on the London Stovk Kxchange, with the purpose of making the turn offered by the difference in price between the homo and foreign markets, and a freo exhibition of thie Stock op tho price touching 144, this morning, checked the rise and returned the quotation to 14 at the close.
