The foreign paper* by the Arabia, to the 21st ult. furnishes numerous interesting details, though all that was Os striking importance was given in our previous despatches. Operations in the Crimea.—'The latest dis patches, it will be recollected, announced, through a prwete source irom Bucharest the 16th ultimo, that*be Bombardment ot Sebastopol commenced on the I wo hundred pieces of heavy ar tillery w’ere employed, and the engineers hoped to have possession of the place by the 18th. a Another dispatch is as follows: London, 8, P. M., Friday, 20th.—There is no duect new*. A Russian dispatch (suppos ed to be reliable) says that nothing of importance happened wine Crimea to the 13th. There is a report! that a sortie of the Sebastopol garrison has been vigorously repulsed. official dispatch is of date no later than October 3d, and is Irom General Canrobe rs , to the French Minister ol War, though it was known through dispatches from Marseilles, that on 7th the French and English siege batteries at Sebastopol were finished. Gen. Canrobert’sdis patch states as follows: ‘ No fresh military operation had been effected up to that date since taking possession of Balak lava. The French and English armies were es tablished in an excellent military position, the English drawing their materiel and provisions m L from Balaklava, and the French from two small bays to the North ot Cape Chersonesus. The position of the allied armies had naturally deter mined their mode of distribution on the ground before Sebastopol. The French will have the left of tne attack, from the sea to the Southern fort; and the English will take the right, from the Southern fort to the ruins of Inkermann. I&* “The French army is divided into two corps— the first, under Gen. Forez, and composed of the third and fourth divisions, will make the siege; the second, under the command of Gen. Bosquet, and comprising the first and second divisions, will form the corps of observation. The Turkish division will be placed in reserve, according to the circumstances. Similar arrangements have been made by the English; one portion cf their force will assist in the attacks against the place, and the other part forming a corps of observation, will be united with the corps of Gen. Bosquet. These arrangements (says Gen. Canrobert) are of a nature to remove all doubt as to the result of the siege. 5 ’ The Soldaten Freund says that Prince Mtfi schiko<l left 20,000 in Sebastopol, and entrusted the ar ®y there to General Lhomutolf. He left on October Ist tor Perekop, where three infantry divisions, three cavalry divisions, and eight Cossack regiments had been concentrated. On the 7th he (Menscbikoff) set * return from Perekop with these rein- ami it was e cpected that with the reinforcements advancing from Cheison the Rus sian a4ny would, by October 20th, be 76,000 io i Tbe Northern torts of Sebastopol, and not Bakshierai. now form the base of the Russian operations. Odessa accounts of the Bth say that Gortscbak offwas at Odessa; and that Menscbikotf, who ncouid not maintain his position at Bakshierai, has sent his army to Sebastopol, and gone to Perekop as above stated. A Russian corps of 14,000 was posted on the Tchernaya, near Sebastopol, and the opening ol the great operations was daily expected. PEi An attack was made by the Mahmoudie, Tur kish flag ship, 126 guns, and several allied ships pp of the line,-on Fort Constantine, but the object was merely to cover the advance ol the allies along the landward side of the city. According to the statements of deserters, the the spirits ol the Russian army appear to be much depressed since its disaster upon the Alma It is rumored that Omer Pasha is to goto Balaklava to meet the French and English Gen erals and Admirals in council of war/ If so, his stay must be brief, as it is announced that he has already received orders to advance into Bessara bia, and has made every preparation (or so doing. Sortie of the Garrison of Sebastopol.— The JVloniteur ol Friday morning confirms the intelligence ol a sortie attempted by the garrison of Sebastopol against the siege works. The enemy was vigorously repulsed. This news is authenticated by the Charge d’Affaires of France at Constantinople. The Arrival at Balaklava. .Balaklava, Tuesday, Sept. 26.—1 never was more astonished in all my life than when I halt ed on the top of one of the numerous hills of which this portion of the Crimea is composed, and looking down saw under my feet a little pond closely compressed by the sides of high mcky mountains. On it floated six or seven English ships, for which exit seemed quite hope- Jess. The bay is like a Highland tarn, and it is long ere the eye admits that it is some half mile length from the sea, and varies from 250 to 120 yards in breadth. The shores are so steep and V precipitous that they shut out as it were the ex panse of the harbor, and make it appear much smaller than it really is. RTbe town of Balaklava is approached through •< w defile leading through the more open country about Traktir. It is a formidable pass a few resolute men posted there might occasion great trouble even to a large army : but we were permitted to go through without let or hindrance of any kind. The staff' advanced first on the town, and were proceeding to enter it, when, to their sur prise, from the old forts above came four spirts of smoke in rapid succession, and doWn came four shells into the ground close to them. The Russians had a small body of men who seemed resolved on a hopeless defence. The dose of shell was repeated, but by this time the Aga memnon, outside the rocks, was heard busily sending her shot against the fort. The Rifles also advanced, and some of the Light Division, and opened fire within 700 yards with their rifles, closing up as they crept along, and the fort, after a few harmless rounds more, was summon ed, hung cut a flag of truce, and surrendered. The Colonel or Commandant had only 60 men under him, and they were all made prison ers. On being asked why he fired irom a posi tion which he must have known to be untenable be replied that he did so in order that Le might be summoned, and that he felt bound to fire till required to surrender. The men belonged to the militia of Balaklava. Lord Raglan entered about 12 o clock in the day. As he came toward the principal street, the inhabitants came out to meet him, bearing trays laded with fruit and flowers. Some of them bore loaves of bread cut up in pieces, and placed on dishes covered with salt in token of good will and submission. He assured them of his protection. The fleet and army are thus once more united, Bnd Lord Reg laa has secured bis base of operations. The fleet is outside. On our march to-day, the cavalry took a Mr. Upton, ar: Englishman by* birth, and son of the English engineer, who constructed so many use ful works at Sebastopol. He was captured on his farm, and was taken before Lord Raglan, but be refused in the most decisive way to give any information respecting the Russians, as he said he could not reconcile it with his notions of honor to injure a Government in whose military service he bad been. The town is a poor fishing village, inhabited by a Greek Colony. Sebastopol and its Defences. —The city is quite visible below us. Across the mouth of the harbor, near the most easterly of the creeks, there is placed a two decker, with springs on her cable, and her broadside turned towards our posi tion. On the northern side is visible a large cir cular Work, with three tiers of guns —Fort*Con- stantine ; and more inland there is another large fortification called the Star Fort. A round tower of white stone on an eminence, over the extremity of the harbor, promises to be very troublesome. Underneath it are two forts and large barracks, but we could see no soldiers in them. The Russian Soldiers. —As to the present condition of the Russian troops the following letter from Gen. Napier, better known in this country as Col. Napier, author ol the “History of the Peninsular War,” is to the point: Sir—Quoting an expression of mine to the effect that tne Russian soldier was so miserable {hat a English soldier would rather present fir' '*• W T | bread than the bayonet to’ him, you unjustly j make me appear todia ve applied it to the present i Russian soldier, whereas it was expressivly \ published with reference to those I saw in Paris in 1815. So far from giving such an opinion as to the present Russian soldiers, l know that their clothing, commissariat and hospita' organizations have been very much improved, principally I believe by the care ot Prince Paskiewiteb. 1 he ridiculous mouthing folly poured out upon them, since the war commenced, has given me the most disgust. W. Napier, Lieut -General. Turkey. —Some persons, taking the peculiar features of Oriental life into account, think the suppression of the trade in Circassian and Geor gian slaves, of questionable philanthrophy. The wounded French at Pera are getting on very well. Their wounded numbered from 1, 400 to 1,500, but their are very numerous. There is a convent of French Sceurs de Charite there, who render the most valuable services at the French hospitals. These ladies trudge along Pera street, followed by a couple of soldiers car rying baskets with medicine, and as they pass the Turks stare open mouthed and in astonish ment at this new species o£ Giaour genus fe mtnine. Russia.— The Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michael,| (sons of the Czar) have joined the South ern army. i Advices had been received from Moscow, stat ing that another large failure had taken place, amounting to 800,000 rubles. England and Ireland.— Miss Nightingale who is to conduct the uurses to attend tne sick and wounded soldiers in the East, had already left England. She goes with the sanction and assistance of the War Minister and the Duke of Newcastle. Her staff of mercies includes a number of recruits from Miss Sellons establish ment, and others from a Society of Sisters of Charity attached to a Roman Catholic Society in London. The court-martial on Sir Edward Belcher, for having abandoned his ships in the Polar Seas has terminated. In the case of Capt. McClure and the other officers who acted under SirE. Belcher, the verdict was that they were honorably acquit ted ; and in each instance the sword was return ed with a complimentary remark. In the verdict on Belcher, the word “honorably” wasommitted and his sword returned to him in silence. Sir Edward was blamed for not having consulted the other two officers, both in command ot seperate ships, who had no discretion after his uncondi tional !>rder to abandon their vessels. McClure’- had been in the ice lor two years. The proceeds ings are reported at full length in London papeis and the evidence elicited some interesting parti culars of Arctic life. The subscriptions to the patriotic fund for the widows and officers of the army promise to be enormous. The machinery is hardiy in motion yet, but the amount already received is about £IOO,OOO. In addition to this a fund is beinj raised for the supply of extra comforts of al ! kinds for the sick and wounded, toward which £7,000 have been contributed in about a week. This latter sum will be admistered by an agent despatched lor the purpose by the Times news paper, to which all the donations have thus far been sent. Father Mathew, the apostle of temperance, arrived from Cork by the comiiany’s fine steam er William Penn. The Rev. gentleman was at once conveyed to the mansion of William Rath bone, Esq., Greenback, where he will remain until he takes his departure for Madeira. The Rev,, gentleman, although much broken down by the painful disease under which he has so long suffered, lacks not the cheerful spirits for which he was always remarkable, it is to be hoped that the sunny clime to which he goes may contribute to the restoration of his health. The London Daily News states that the af fairs of Messrs. McHenry & Co., and of Mr. Oliver, will wind more favorably than has been reported. It promises a statement of accounts in a few days. The London Times alleges that both at Liver pool and in Ireland a system of accommodation paper has been carried on in a manner scarcely paralleled since the failures among the East In dia firms at the commencement of 1847. From a correspondence in the London Times of the 20th October we learn that the new Brit ish stamp act imposes one penny duty on that large class of drafts made in this country on England and Ireland to enable poor persons to emigrate to their relatives here. France.— A statue of the late Marshal de St. Arnaud is to be placed in the gallery of the pal ace of Versailles. 1 he greatest activity prevails in preparing lor the great exhibition of May next, which, if we may believe our French friends, will be the world’s wonder. There is no political news of interest from France. Mademoiselle Cruvelli, the prima donna, has committed the most unaccountable freak—has fled from a salary of 100,000 francs, at the grand opera, and has departed no one knows where. Ihe Minister of State has seized her furniture and the balance at her bankei’s in reparation of the damage done to the opera by her non-ap pearance. 1 Latest.— At the same moment that the Cru velli disappeared, so did the Baron Vigier, a well known youthful and rich Parisian. If it be true that the Baron and the prima donna were married at Brussels, as now appears, the only wonder is why they iun away. The constant and renewed sending of troops to the East from Marseilles and Toulon is suffi cient proof of the government’s intention to pur sue the wsr, next season, from the south upward. T ‘ e figure of the present embarkation is said to bi 30,000 men; 16,000 of them from Toulon alone. None of the American ambassadors or charges have returned to Paris from Ostend, end it is not known what decisions have beeu arrived at up on any of the momentous subjects which were to come under their notice. The Americans in Paris have been terribly af flicted at the loss of the Arctic. [From the London. Chroniale . October 19?A.] Intended Visit of the Emperor and Em press of t rance to England.— For some time past rumors have been afloat in Paris of an in tended visit on the part of the Emperor and Em press ofihe Franch to Queen Victoria. -I un derstand the visit will take place in the course of the month ol November, but I have not heard that the precise day*is fixed. I understand that it is expected that Queen Victoria and Prince Albert will return the visit about the middle of May next, when her Majesty will not only be able to see the French Exhibition, which will then be open, but see Paris in all its glory, with the immense improvements now going on in a state of completion. It is almost needless to say that this exchange ot visits is of immense im portance. They must not be looked upon sim ply as an exchange of civilities between the sov ereigns of tAo great countries. They are a great practical event, and will do much to cement the alliance which has already been so cordially en tered into between the people of both countries. Thf. American Diplomatic Congress.— A letter from Coblentz of the 14th says: “Yester day evening the North American Ambassadors, Mr. Buchanan, from London, and Mr. Mason, from Paris, arrived here with a part of their suites. They put up at the ‘Giant,’ and are ex pecting Mr. Soule from Madrid to join them to- : day.” The Horrors of War—Surgeons in the B&itish Army—Awful Scenes.—A sad de ficiency was recently discovored in the British army, namely, the want of surgeons. This must be regarded as a deplorable oversight. Indeed, it appears that after the battle of Alma multi tudes of the wounded were compelled to lie in agony for days with their wounds undressed. The complaints upon the subject are loud and deep, and with reason. The army was also suf fering for the want of old linen and lint for dressing the wounded. The clergy throughout Great Britain have been requested to make an appeal to their people upon tbe Sabbath, and it will no doubt be promptly responded to. More nurses are also needed, for in many cases the men were compelled to attend one upon another. The horrors of battle were sufficiently appalling, but they must have been greatly aggravated by the cases above noticed. A correspondent of the London Times, writing from Constantinople, states that on Board the Vulcan there were three hundred wounded, and one hundred and twenty i ei ? Patients, and these were attended by : ffgeoas. The scene was terrible. Ihe poor fellows seized the surgeons by the pu s hed their way through the i dead and dying, but they were shakin off. Hundreds of wounded soldiers also arrived at Scutari, without having been touched bv a sur geon since they fell pierced with bullete on the slopes of the Alma. Their wounds were stiff and their strength exhausted, as they were lifr-a I out the boats to be carried to the hospital. But i a still more appalling picture is given of the un- ] fortunate passengers by the Columbo. The vessel left the Crimea on the morning ot 1 the 24th. Wounded men were placed on board for two day 6 before she sailed: and when she weighed anchor she earned the following num bers—27 wounded officers, 422 wounded solJiers and 104 Russian prisoners—in all 553 souls About half the wounded had received surgical assistance before they were put on board. To supply the wants of this mass ot misery were four medical men, one of whom was the surgeon of the ship—sufficiently employed in looking after the crew, who, at this place and season are seldom free from sickness. The ship was liter ally covered with prostrate forms, so as to be al most unmanageable. The officers could not get below to find their sexants, and the run was made at hazard. The vessel was at sea twelve hours longer through this mischance. The worst eases were placed on the upper deck, which in a day or two became a mass of pu tridity. And here follows a description which is so really awful, that we refrain from repeating it.— Surely there was sad culpability on the part of the authorities. The facts have naturally enough excited the strongest indignation ; but alas ! for the victims and the horrors of war. No lan guage is adequate to describe them. The battle of the Alma resulted in the slaughter of thous ands of human beings, and then, as may be seen from the foregoing, were, in many cases, worse than the ordinary agonies ot death. AUGUSTA, GEORGIA. PRIDAY MORNING, NOV’R 10. The Northern mail failed last evening from beyond Kingsville. Augusta, and the Fever. It is really a cheeiing sight to those who, like ourselves, have witnessed the melancholy ap pearance which our city has presented during the prevalence of the late epidemic, to see Augusta resuming once more her wonted aspect. During the past three days, nearly all of those who have been driven away by the pestilence, have re turned, or are opening, cleansing and ventilating their dwellings, in order to enable them to do so. Our streets present again the accustomed bustle and hurry of business, and several customers from the country are corning in to obtain their winter supplies. We assure our friends they cannot find a better maikct from which to make their purchases than is afforded in Augusta. The Stocks of our merchants are large and well selected and assorted. Our Hotels are open and are ready to receive them, and we think we may with safety announce that the fever, as an epi demic, is at an end. There may, amd probablv willj be, a few straggling cases, for some time, among certain classes who have" remained in the city, and whose systems are surcharged by the miasma; but with this exception, we hope and believe we have seen the last of the yellow fever. We therefore invite all who wish to visit the city, to come without hesitation, as we believe they may now do it with safety. So long as we believed there was the slightest risk in returning, we have urged our absent friends to remain ; but we now take sinceie pleasure in stating that we shall heartily welcome their re turn. But while so many come home with thankfulness, that themselves -and their families, have been mercifully permitted to remain un scathed, yet there are those who will return with heavy hearts, and will mingle their tears for the lost ones, at a distance, with the tears of those who have been equal sufferers in our midst. Surely Augusta has been, in common with her sister city, Savannah, sorely afflicted, and it is most proper that our Executive should, as he has done, recommend us to mingle humiliation and prayer with our annual thanksgiving. Let us, while deeply sensible of the many blessings which Providence has bestowed upon us during the [last year, and by whom our lives have been preserved, while so many have fallen around us, not forget to acknowledge how severely, and by whom we have been punished, and earnestly to supplicate forgiveness from Him who has lain his chastening hand upon us. The Weather. The Thermometer at Mr. Haines, yesterday, marked at 7 A. M. 42 ; and at 2 P. M. 64—two degrees warmer than noticed yesterday at the latter hour. Health of Charleston. The Board of Health of Charleston report the deaths of 24 persons in that city during the week ending on the 4th inst. Os these 13 were whites and 11 blacks—B of the whites by Yellow Fever. California Express. —Messrs. J. A. Doyle and M. J. Keating, in connection with Adams & Co., are about to establish an express between California and the Atlantic States through Mex ico, by what is known as the Ramsey route.— The steamer Orizabia and Mexico, now plying regularly between New Orleans and Vera Cruz, will connect regularly with the express on this side, while the express will connect regularly with the Panama mail steamers when they stop at Acapulco. By this means the time between New Orleans and San Francisco will be reduced to fifteen days, so that the intelligence received by the express will be nine days later than that brought by the Panama steamers We take pleasure in calling the attention to | the card, of Mr. H. A. Brooks, Historical and i Portrait Painter, which will be lound in this j days paper. The tollowing notice of his abilities j is from the Savannah Courier: “Dropping into his studio a lew days since, we spent an hour with the greatest delight. Mr | Brooks has had experience in the best schools and galleries of Europe, in proof of which he j bears honorable testimonials from the best judges in London and other cities, where he has resid j ed. His talent lor catching the spirit of ancient | masters is really wonderful. Copies from Cor [ reggio, Murillo and Rembrant, which be has at i present with him, can hardly be distinguished ] Irom the originals. We advise such of our read ers as are fond of fine pictures to give Mr- Brooks a call, who we doubt not, willreceive them in his usual courteous manner.'*’ ; The recent anti-tippling house ordinance passed by the Washington City Council, will not, the Sentinel states, prevent the licensing ot taverns. The Mayor considers the priviFege to seil liquor in quantities less than a pint an inci dent tg a tavern which the Corporation cannot I under its charter suppress, but which it may j regulate. The people continue to rush irv great numbers I to the land offices ol the West to purchase lands under the late act ol Congress. At Fayette, in Missouri, there were some 800 persons present, and no little excitement prevailed. At Palmyra the town was literally crowded by the thousands seeking lands and homes. The Auditor of the State ot Indiana has given public notice that he will not sell th? stocks and redeem the notes of such of the banks of that State as may be forced into liquidation, until he shall give sixty days previous notice, in the ci ties of New York, London and Paris, and not even then if it should be inimical to the inter ests of the owners. The mortality in New York during the past week was 399, of which number 17 were of cholera. At this rate the next week will show pretty nearly, if not quite, a clean bill of health so far as cholera is concerned. ( Great Same of Choice Fowls —A large col- ' lection of rare foreign birds and poultry, which had been on exhibition at Barnunrs Museum, in ' New York,during the week, was sold at public auction on Saturday. The stock was imported I by Mr. Giles, of Connecticut, for himself and others, and was brought over in the steamship Washington. Among the bidders was Tom Thumb, who was perched upon the top of a cage, and attracted as much attention as the golden pheasant. A pair of white swans and a pair of Japannese peacocks were bid off at SIOO each.— A pair of Mandarin ducks brought $l5O, and a ! black swan the sum of SIOO. Barnum subse quently offered the purchaser a premium of S2OO for the ducks, which was refused. Many very beautiful fowls, which were said to be worth | S 4O a Pair 1 , were knocked down at $3 50. Tom Thumb paid sl6 for a silver pheasant, and $lO each for three others. The entire lot offered it is said, cost $1,700. Bigamy and Amalgamation.— -Some days since, a colored man named Merrit Williams, cook on board the steamship Jamestown, w r as arrested in New York city, charged with big amy, in having a colored and a white wife—the maiden name of the latter being Margaret Ca rool, residing at Albany. Pennsv lvania Coal Trade. —The amount of coal brought down from the anthracite region last week, was 92,097 tons, making for the sea son 3.673,740 tons, against 3,069,117 tons for the same time last year. The break in the Dele ware division of the Pennsylvania canal last week, was a serious interruption, but it has pro bably by this time been repaired. The Phila delphia Ledger mentions a rumor that the com bination in the Schuylkill region to withold sup plies has been dissolved. Canada, New Brunswick and the United States having confirmed the reciprocity treaty between the United States and Great Britain, it is the law of the land. All foreign coals, bread stuffs, salted meats and molasses pass into New Brunswick free of duty. The force of workmen at the Washington Navy 1 ard is almost nine hundred men, and the town in the neighborhood may be said in conse quence to be full to overflowing. Colonel Payne, of the U. S. Army, entered up on the duties of t.ie governmentship of the Unit ed States Military Asylum, near Washington, on the Ist inst. Ihe Colonel was distinguished for his valor at Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma! lie was severely wounded in one of these bat tles, and he still carries Mexican lead in his per son. A woman named Pamelia Myers, now under arrest in Philadelphia, has co.. fessed that her paramour, a man named Mayer, killed five of their illegitimate children by throwing them into a sink. Captain Elisha Ely, an old and much esteem ed citizen, died'on the 3d inst., at Allagan, Mi chigan. He was one of the earliest settlers of what is noyv the flourishing city of Rochester. The boat saved from the ill-fated Arctic, and brought to Philadelphia by.the steamer Osprey was tested on Saturday under the charge of Cap tain Stotesbury, at the request of Mr. Collins.— 57 full grown men embarked in the boat and were rowed about the river for half an hour, with the bulwarks 16 inches out of water. Among the persons on board were a number of sea cap tains who agreed in the opinion that the boat would be perfectly sale with 60 persons, provis ions, water &c., in it. 1 he Sandersville Georgian o! Tuesday says:— “The lase season has so favored the pea and pota toe Crop, that we are inclined to-think there will be so large a portion of pork fattened among us as to reduce somew hat the high price of bacon, she season has also been unusually favorable for gathering the cotton crop; and although it is short in quantity, it must be much better in quality than the average crops usually are. And it farmers could but get a fair price for what they have made all would yet do well. The cornu copia may not be the fitting emblem for this year’s products yet there is still enough to sup ply the necessaries of life, and satisfy its reason able demands. There is then no good ground for complaint unless it be with ourselves. Hogs. —At Cincinnati there are how some ten thousand hogs in pens. The feeling on the part of packers is dull and heavy. In that city there are some few orders to contract at $4 25, but sales could not be made to any great extent it is said at that figure* A Hasty Candidate. —J. W. Barker, the Know-Nothing Candidate for Mayor in New York, endorsed the platform of the Practical De mocrats. This gave some dissatisfaction to his .friends, when Barker very cooly publishes that he signed the circular without having read it. — Some of the papers query whether a man who signs circulars without reading them' is exactly qualified to take charge of the city’s business. The Indiana Banks.— The Auditor of the State of Indiana has given public notice that he will not sell the stocks and redeem the notes of such of the Banks of that State as may be forced into liquidation, until he shall give sixty days previous notice in the cities of New York, Lon don, and Paris, and not even then if it should be inimical to the interests of the owners. Snow at the White Mountains.— A corres pondent of the Newburypoit Herald, writing from the Alpine Hous , White Mountains, New Hampshire, states that he was on Mount Moriah last week, and found plenty of snow on the sum mit. The snow is three feet deep on the top of Mount Washington. Rhode Island Legislature. —The Genera] Assembly of Rhode Island adjourned on Friday. The Rev. Robert Allen was nominated and con i' firmed as School Commissioner. Judge Stables j was elected Chief Justice, and Alfred Bosworth i and Sylvester Sherman, Associate Judges of the Supreme Court. | Heavy Sentence. —Two girls who were ar | rested in Manchester, New Hampshire, a short | time since, for horse stealing, ice., were sentenced ! on Tuesday last to four years’ hard labor in the j State prison. Their bravado gave way when j the sentence was pronounced, and they shed | tears freely. Foreign Imports at New York. —The im- | ports of foreign merchandize enteied at New York during the month es October, amounted in value to $10,949,444 against sll 926,423 in October of 1853, showing a decrease of $775,- 979. The imports since January Ist are $4,160,- 649 less than the total of the same period of 1852. The warehousing business throughout has been much larger than in either of the last two years, and the receipts of free goods also show a large increase. The Boston Railroads, it is said, are about to introduce coke, from Cumberland coal, as fuel for their engines, in consequence of the high and increasing price of wood.' Some of them are endeavoring to use anthracite, but the experi ments made show that their engines have to be specially adapted to that kind of fuel. More Failures. —The New York papers of j Saturday announce the failure of J. A. Wester velt&Co. the extensive 6bip-builders. They have been obliged to succumb to the pressure in the money market, and make an assignment. Their statement, it is said, shows a surplus of '5150,000, after the payment of all their debts Mr. J. A. Westervelt is the present Mayor of the city. The Cincinnati Gazette statesjthat Mr. Beckel of Dayton, who has been engaged extensively in railroads, banks, turnpikes, &c., has been in trouble for two weeks past, and was finally forc ed to suspend on Tuesday last. The Gazette says: “He owned the Miami Valley Bank of Ohio’ the Wayne county bank of Indiana, and another Indiana Bank, the name of which we do not recollect. He is also principal owner of several turnpikes, and is a heavy stockholder in various railroads, besides which he has a large amount of real estate. Unless his possessions were greatly over estimated, he will be able to pay all his debts.—The notes of the three banks re ferred to are secured by the deposit of State stocks. Another prominent citizen of Dayton is also embarrassed we understand.” B, F. Sand ford, Esq., President of the late Trust Company Bank in Convington, Ky., has published a card, in which he says the notes will be worth 75 cents on the dollar. New Rifle Drill at West Point. —A large number of officers made a visit to the United States Military Academy at West Point last week, to witness the performance of the corps of cadets in a light infantry and rifle drill, very similar to that used by the celebrated Chasseuis de Vincennes. Brevet Lieutenant Colonel Hardee, of the U. States Dragoons, under the Direction of the Secretary of War, has recently compiled a work, making very essential changes in the evolutions of that truly American arm of .the service. It will be recollected that the drill had its ori gin in this country before the revolutionary war —that it was systematized during that momen tous struggle and-that its efficacy was especially demonstrated under the gallant Coionel Morgan at Saratoga, and throughout the war. The attention of France rvnd England was then called to the utility of the rifle and the drill; and England especially had reason to realize the importance of establishing it as one of the arms of her service, from the severe losses her troops had experienced whenever they met the deadly rifle of the yankee. The Tiraileurs of France had their orign also about that time, and, if we-mistake not, Switzer land and other countries soon followed in organiz ing rifle corps. From time to time, improvements have been made in the rifle, the shape of ball, and the sys tem of drill. The French deserve great credit for the im provements they have recently made in the lat ter two, and the system now' about to be present ed to the people of the United States, combining, as it does, all the important and useful improve ments made in that arm of the service, may b.e said to be asoiear perfection as can be attained. As the work will soon be published, we wili not go into any of the details only observing that for its simplicity and brevity in the word of command, rapidity ot movement, and effective execution, it recommends itself to the attention and study of military men—New; York Herald.

Distressing Circumstance.— An ment appeared in the News on Saturday last re questing information of a lost child, a son of Mr. Charles Christian, of this city, who had been missing from his home since the forenoon of the day previous. We regret to learn, by a notice of an inquest in our issue ol this morning, that the recovecy of their child was but the realiza tion of their worst apprehensions of the distres sed parents—the little wanderer having strayed from his home to the wharf where he was acci dentally drowned.— Savannah News , Ith.

Herr Alexander the great magician, is per forming in Havana. The number of messages transmitted over the Telegraph line in the Island of Cuba during the mo f nth of September, was upwards of 842, and the number of words contained in them, 15,675 The greatest number of messages in one day, was 60, containing 1,023 words.

Seventy negroes (Bozales) imported previous to the apprenticeship regulation, emancipating slaves iri the Island were advertised, by order of ' the Captain General, to be disposed 01, in lots of ten, the 3d of November.

CAMPFIELD, an 20 ts Corner River and Jackson st A Warning—Delay not; liarbor not in your mind that sentence of fool’s philosophy, that a disease will get well of itself,or that you can euro it with certain medicinos for a few dollars. Beware how you tamper with your general welfare. Ye wild and vicious youths, why wHi ye persist in dosing with the filthy, nauseating compounds daily proffered, thereby impairing your appetite and digestion, and destroying you mentally as well as physically, when you can be cured with a few dosgs of pleasant medicines 7 Ye rakes of every age and condition, why will yc suffer and repine and drag out a miserable ex istence, unfitted for the enjoyment and oven ordi nary pursuits of life ! You who are thus annoyed, and wish to be restored to health and vigor by a treatment at onco pleasant and effectual, should consult Dr. Morris. His success in chronic dis eases has been greater than that of any other phy sician of his day. Many who have been for years afflicted with disease or consequences resulting from excess have been restored to health and vigor under his really scientific treatment. Should a personal interview bo objectionable, state your disease in writing—enclose fivo dollars —address Dr. W. H. Morris, through tho Posts Office, Nashville, Tenn., and a package of Medi cines, securely put up, will be sont privately, and with dispatch, full directions therewith, and no questions asked. Persons living at a distance, and afflicted with Scrofula, Old Ulcers, Totter Cancers, Piles, Fistula In Ano, Gravel, Strictures, Gleets, or any disease iwbatever of an aggravated or malignant character, can be cared at home by consulting Dr. Morris, by letter, post paid, enclosing a fee. These Medi cines, pleasant and safe, can be sent per mail to any part of tho United States. Particular attention given to the treatment of female complaints.

So efiicacious were they in all cases of Liver complaint, that thoy be came famous, and attracting ,the attention of the medical faculty, passed into general use. They act with great certainty and regularity; the patient almost immediately feels the dispersion of his dis ease, and is gradually restored to health. With some the effect is almost miraculous, frequently ex periencing immediate relief, after having for months resorted to drugs and medicines of another descrip tion, in vain. Diseases of the Liver arc very com mon in this country, and are often frightful in character. Those who experience any of the pre monitory symptoms of this dangerous and compli cated disease, should at once procure a box of Dr. M’" ane’s Pills, and perhaps, thereby, be saved a world of misery. Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr M’Lane s Celebrated Liver Pills, and take none else. There are other Pills, purporting to be Liver Pi s, now before the public.
