Intelligence by the Niagara. For tile following items ot intelligence by the • Niagara we are indebted to the foreign corres pondents of the New York Commercial Anver- The interval between the commencement oi the bombardment ol Sevastopol and the ' of the Alma has been tilled b: the public■ » .th an ea»er contemplation ot the details ot the uu ter. and of the masterly strategical movement by which it was followed in the capture ol the port m Balaklava, so as to gam a command ol the fmtiess from the South. The march on that occasion was of the mos‘ remarkable kind, train the nature ot the ground and the absence ot the topographical knowledge on the part ot the al lies "a full description ot it has been published, and one incidents circumlstance attending it was the capture and destruction ot the ammuni tion of a portion of Menschikofl's defeated ar my. The arrival of the French and English forces at Balaklava appeals to have been sv totally un locked for, as to have spread panic among the Russians, and the fort at that point, which was only garrisoned by two or three hundred men, scarcely offered any resistance. This place be ing secured, and a communication with the fleet ha ing been instantly' opened, the m>ans not only of disembarking all the siege material with ease and rapidity, but also of moving it by a good road to the heights above Sevastopol seem [ to have been attained. The only question then remaining was to the time in which all the pre- ! parations. for the attack could be completed— I the utmost'swiftness being desirable, so that it j might take place before the expected Russian re inforcements from Odessa could arrive, and this appears to have been settled by an announce-i meat received yesteiday, that the bombardment had commencedon the 4th, and that an I assault was considered probable by the 12th.— The public, how ever, have learned to distrust all i telegraphic news, and will therefore not rely upon these statements until they have been re ceived by other means. Austria has congratulated the English Court, j as it lately did the French, on the success of the j allied aims in the Crimea. This would seem to I settle the vexed question of her neutrality. It | is ceveitlieless said that upon the' fall of Se vastopol, she will make a supreme effort to in- j duce Russia to yield. The Frankfort Gazette,, in an article which has created some .sensation, i that it is not unlikely that a catastropholike that ' no.v imminent in the Crimea, would provoke I a violent and prolonged revival of the war on the I part of Russia, now threatened in its existence i and wounded in its self-love. The operations of Omar Pacha indicate a pro- > bable invasion of Bessarabia by the North, the: Dobrudscha, and by sea. Prince Gortschakofl’ is , also taking serious measures to resist the attack. I The garrison of Rem, Baltic. Ragul and Leut- j chen.are double. There will doubtlesss be hard | lighting yet in this quarter, unless the. capture! of Sevastopol disheartens both officers and sol diers. Besides the depatches of the generals upon the battle ot the Alma, we have a mass of private letters, from eye witnesses: full ot interesting de tails which an official report could not touch upo i. I may sav at once that public opinion is agreed to consider the loss on the side of the Al lies as greater than that reported. This is unanimously acknowledged, both from the na ture of the battle held, and the tremendous ad vantages of position in favor of the Russians, and the belief that the Government would be disposed to conceal a portion of the destruction in the first coilission with the enemy. It is worth noticing, too, that the Prince Paskie witch, in his report published, at Warsaw on the | 2d, gives the Russian loss at 100 killed. Gener- 1 al Thomas, wounded and conveyed to Constan- | tinople, writes h me that the Russians fought I bravely and obstinately, and that for two hours j the hail of projectiles seemed to create no void ' in their ranks, but that they were finally com pelled to yield before the tremendous impetuosi- , ty of the Allied army. The Russian officers are disguised as simple soldiers, by the order of the | Emperor, who dread any further decimination I of their ranks by the Turkish sharpshooters. The death of Marshal St. Arnaud is stated>o have resulted from disease of the heart, termina ting in water on the chest. His age was 53. The death of the Marshal will be an undoubted relief to the Emperor upon whose purse he was a sore burden; certain complicities between them rendering it impolitic for Louis Napoleon to repulse bis contact exactions. The loss can make little or no difference to the operations ot the army : having been foreseen, Gen. Carjrobert I held the order to succeed him, before the expedi- , tioa left France. At the Bourse, the death of the ; Commander-iu-Chief was regretted, but it ex- I ercised no influence, the fuilds rising slightly, j The body arrived yesterday at Marseilles, and ; was received with all possible honors, salutes, ' flags at half-mast, the tolling of bells. By a de- 1 cree ot the Emperor, in consideration of the : eminent services oi the Marshal, in Africa, in ; the War Department, and in the East, he will i be buiied at the Invalides, at the expense of the : State. The papers are creeting for the deceased I warrior a reputatii n for piety arid probity ; a re- I putariou which it will be no slight upon his me- i mory to say he enjoyed during his life. Gen. Canrobert, his successor, is in every way | a different man. He has risen by merit, and has won his several successive grades ; St. Ar- j naud owed his rather to favor, chance or intrigue, i having been in every sense an adventurer. | Canrobert lived for ten years, when a Lieute- i . nant, on 5,000 francs a year, never owed a debt, | , and never ventured into speculation. It is not i . known, and the papers are calling upon the Mo- ' , niteur for information, whether he has become : ( General in Chief of the Allies, or only of the j | French army. I , Young Jerome Bonaparte, from West Point, ' has left Marseilles for Constantinople, this week; i , he has with turn 200 dragoons, ot whom he is | sub Lieutenant. j , The Mouiteur declares itself authorized to an- i i r.ounce that no negotation whatever has been I entered into between the United States and the , Prince of Monaco, for the cession of the princi pality by the latter to the former. This is true, , but the offer was none the less made by the ; agents of the Priace, to the American legation in this city. _ : The conference of American representatives: in Europe, which was to have taken place at j Basle, in Swiss territory, had assembled at Ost end, on Belgian territory: any where but on I French ground. They are to discnss the proper ’ attitude of America toward Europe, it seems, as if the only attitude proper for America, were notl the exclusive minding of her own business here. | Americans here, nine out of ten, speak of the : conference with ridicule. Our ambassadors cer- j tainly could not have selected a moment when they can collect and talk demagoguy with closed I doors, with more total indifference on the part i of the genera! public than the present. 3JIt would seem hardly possible for an operatic event to emotionize Paris just now, but we have i certainly been considerably stirret by an extra- j ordinary act on the part of Mlie. Cruvelli. She I was announced to sing in the Huguenots,, on Monday night; instead of which, she j Northern rail road and crossed the frontier, with- j out giving notice. She has not written since. | The most rational explanations is that she was offended at the Governments order that the , names of all the artists be printed in type of the ' same size. A law suit or a fine of $2,500 is talked oi. But 1 think it doubtful if she can make her peace in Paris again. M. lould will probably draw a pen through her engagement and the Opera will survive without her. The commercial difficulties at Liverpool still remain unsettled, and the impression is that the talked-of arrangement in the case ol Mr. Edward Oliver will not be carried out, t.nat his name is upon a larger amount of paper than was at first supposed, and that the hope oi a surplus will nove altogether de usive. He was, mixed up with McHenry and Co . and Allen and Ander aon. With re per' to the affairsol McHenry it is now commonly reporter that he owes 11500,' 000, and that his assets will not yield more than 5 per cent, of that amount It is to be hoped these stateru*?iits may prove fatae, but i< t.'JTe is really truth in them, the prospects ot liquidation in the case ol Allen and Anderson must also be very bad, as they are understood to have commit -1 ted themselves with McHenry to the extent of making themselves liable as partners. The London money market shows rather more ease. In the funds there has been a sin gularly small amount of business for some time, , but they remain steady. At the last date Con- I sols were quoted 95 J, and they have left off this evening at the same price. The Eastern War and the Future. The British Government is already making arrangements forthe next campaign. The Dub lin Daily Express says that, early in March, the 18th instant, the 51st, the 54th, the 56th, the 76th, tile 72d, the 80th, the 82d, the 90, and the 94th regiments, will be in England, and prepared to proceed to the Baltic, it would thus appear that a long struggle is anticipated. The cost in the end will be immense, and unless the Allies should be discomhtted. an effort will, no doubt, be made to obtain restitution from the Czar.— Such is already the sentiment of a large body of the people of England and France. But should Sevastapol be taken —what then ? Nicholas will then accept a peace dictated by the allies— or he will not. If he should refuse, the war, of course, will be continued. The Liverpool Journ al. alluding to such a contingency, says it is very puzzling to decide how the contest is to be carried on. The editor adds : St. Petersburg can only betaken by an army. Have we the army ? Have the French and English together, an army such as the great I Napoleon considered requisite for a conquest of | Russia ? They have not together 500,000 men ; j and Lcuis Napoleon is not so foolish as to empty France of soldiers. He fears the Monarchists snd he fears the Republicans, and he is bound, also, to fear the Prussians, who might-diverge out of neutrality into Russianism. We might, i together, collect an army sufficiently' strong to j beat Nicholas out ot his capital—probably he I would be Fabian, and retire with his army to Moscow. He will, we are told, never give in : and he has a large territory to retire on. So I long as the war is merely a military war. there ! is, then, no security whatever that we can i bring him to the conditions we require. : Inasmuch as at present we are riot feeling the cost of the war—are revelling in corn prosperity | and are beginning to see that commerce does not , j necessarily suffer in war-time —the chances of i J prolonged hostilities may be discussed with con- - ; siderable phlegm. The alliance between Eng i land and France seems stable ; and there is felt in that, a vast security for the future. But we I should begin at once to realise what Sevastopol ; I leads to. and to consider what next. Os course, ' I the Crimea could be taken possession of by an | I Allied A'rmy, and the Russian fleet destroyed.— I i Turkey would then, be safe. But can we keep , lan Allied army' in the Crimea forever. Is a \ j Turkish army to be kept in the field forever, or j at Bessarabia, and are the Wallachians to be ; I sentenced forever to a military occupation -1 Are j I we equal to the weight of keeping Russia down? For she would lose no chance of getting up. Our ministers feel the difficulty, and will be compelled to throw themselves on the country. The question of the day, then, is—as Russia is to be conquered, effectually, neither in the Crimea nor at St. Petersburg—ought we not to attack her via Poland ’ That is to say —is the war to be ended only by a European co..flagration 7 In other words, must we enter on a political war against Russia ’ There is another method, and one that re commends itself to the sentiment of the time.— We need not invade Russia; we need not take St. Petersburgh, nor provoke another conflagra tion at Moscow—we have only to wait where we are and Russia must submit. Sevastapol dismantled, and the Russian fleet in the Euxine destroyed, we have cnly to blockade the Baltic, and keep a few ships in the Bosphorus, and the Czar will have to endure the clamor and hatred of an oppressed people—a terrible enemy. The future, indeed, so far as Europe is con- ! cerned, is involved in doubt. Should Nicholas ! persist, there will be exhausting and bloody I work for years. Important changes will also, no doubt take place; and, driven to extremity, the Allies may endeavor to establish the king doms of Poland and of Hungary, and thus to re volutionize Europe. The latter, however, will depend upon the course of Austria. But this is not all. Finland would probably be restored to Sweden, and Courland would again become a seperate nation We repeat, the solution of this Eastern Question may yet involve the most im portant consequences. Plvnderisg the Wreck of the Sure Delia Maria. —It will be remembered that this vessel I was wrecked on Martin’s Industry during the I August gale, while on her passage from Liver : pool to Charleston. A portion of her cargo was, we understand, taken off, and having been 1 bonded at our Custom House, was sent to Charleston, for which salvage was paid. Since then it has been discovered that a large amount of goods have been carried off from the wreck, and for the past two or three weeks the Custom House officers, assisted by several of the City Police, have been zealously engaged in searching for and recovering the property. We learned yesterday that they had succeeded in getting possession of some two thousand dollars worth of goods, consisting of dry goods, hardware, china ; ware, carpeting, &c., a part of which was found : buried and secreted on Tybee Island, and the I balance in the possession of parties in this city. I A portion of t“e property taken from the ship was brought up to the city in boats, and landed under cover ol the night, and has since been traced to the possession of various parties in town. The officers, both Os the Custom House and police, have been indefatigable in their efforts to trace up the missing goods, and have succeeded in obtaining information which will lead to the recovery of most of them. We understand it is their intention to pursue the matter vigorously. We hope they will be en tirely successful, and that whoever the guilty parties may be, in a transaction so manifestly dishonest and disgraceful to our port, they may be dealt with as they deserve.— Sav. News, 31. City Amusements. The past week has been one of unusual inte rest to such of our ci'izens and country neighbors as aie in the habit of indulging their taste for Drama'ic representations, or the lighter and scarcely less popular entertainments of EHifov pian ministrelsy, with both of which classes Br amusements we have recently been highly favor ed. With Mr. Crisp and his talented Company, - at Concert Hall, and West and Peel’s Campbell Mintrels, at Temperance'Hall, the vexed ques tion with our people seems to have been, not which they had better patronize, but which they . could consent to forego. Os Mr. Crisp and his Corps we can only say, | that throughout their somewhat protracted stay I of two weeks, they have been uniformly met by ’ : large and appreciative audiences, who Lave free 5 - j ly expressed their gratification at the continued j and successful efforts of the Management for j their entertainment, both as regards the judicious : selection of the pieces performed, and the very I , effective manner in which they were placed up- . on the stage This Company, hitherto popular in our city, have made many additional friends i during their present visit, who, we doubt not, ; will always be ready to meet them with a hearty ; welcome and liberal encouragement, whenever they may think proper to appear upon our boards. Mr. C., we learn, has an engagement in Macon the present week. Ol the Campbells, it is almost unnecessary to I speak, further than to say, that they are the same fun-loving and mirth-provoking band ol good fellows as ever. They are well known through , out this country as one of the very best compa i nies of Minstrels in the world. Possessing as - they do an infinite versatility of talent and fund ' of humor, every thing they do is well done and i funny; and if, as the old maxim has it, every good laugh draws a nail out of one’s coffin, then i ot a truth are the fast houses of a goodly portion ' ol our people in ruins, and Mike Mitchell and , Matt Peel must take the responsibility of the ■; destruction. To ail, then, who enjoy an hour of .yinnocent relaxation and a hearty laugh, we ' would say, go and hear the Campbells, the fust ! opportunity—secure an eligible seat, loosen all I obstructions to cachinatory exercise, and leave the result with Patt Peel and the rest ol the boys.— Columbu- 'Ast. [From the Charleston Courier, Ist inst.| The Fire in Meeting Street. : The fire mentioned in yesterday’s Courier as | having broken out on the premises of Mr. F. P. Seignious, west side.of Meeting street, was not ef fectually subdued until nearly seven o’clock. We mibjoin an account of the damages sustained and the amount of insurance thereon. The interior ot the brick building lacing on Hasell-st., adjoining the Pavilion Hotel, owned by Mr. Geo. Thompson, was entirely destroyed. The upper portion of the edifice was not occu pied. It extended back on the North line about 130 feet and was recently fitted up to connect with the buildings occupied by Messrs. 8. and E. M. Gilbert, fronting on Wentworth street, so as to form a continuous sales room, opening on both streets. This property, which was insured in the Fireman’s liisur race office for $5,000, had been leased to the Messrs. Gilbert, and was to have been turned over to them yesterday. The bolding lacing on Meeting-st., occupied by- Mr. Leonard Chapin as a Cariiage Depository', owned by Mr. F. P. Seignious, were destroy efl. It was, however, insured in the Fireman’s Insu rance Company for $5,000. Mr. Chapins stock was insured for SIO,OO0 —$5,000 in the R°y a ‘ Insurance Company, and $5,000 in the Girard Insurance Company, oi which J. H. laylor is Agent. The building north of the above, owned and occupied by F. P. Seignious was, also, con sumed. It was insured in the Fireman’s Insur ance Company for $3,000, and the shop for S4OO. Mr. S. Mowry, Jr. whose lesidence is next . North of the above had the wood work of the I piazza charred by the flames. Hisstable, which ■ ! was destroyed, was insured for SIOOO in the i South Carolina Insurance Company. A biick building lacing on Wentworth st. im ' mediately West ol the Carriage Depository of Mr. M. H. Nathan, owned by .Mr. S. Mowry, Jr., and occupied below as a blacksmith’s shop by ; Mr. Chapin,and above as a dwelling by several i familws. was consumed It was insured >n the ; South Carolina Insurance Company tor $2500. 1 ! A brick building adjacent to the above,owned ! and occupied by Mr. Chapin for purposes con i nected with his business, was destroyed. It was j insured for SSOOO io the Home Insurance Com ! pany. of which J. H. Taylor is Agent. j A brick building West of the above owned i by Mr. Samuel Meeker, of New Haven, was ! slightly injured. It was, as previously men • tioned occupied by the Messrs. Gilbert, and connected with Mr. Thompson’s building. In ! this large and commodious sales' room were a j number oi carriages and other vehicles, many ol I I which were removed. The insurance amounts i to SIO,OOO. SSOOO in the Monarch office, New | York, ana 55000 in the Fireman's Insurance i Company : bet a small amount, however, will be required. The large building extending along the north i line of the premises on which stands the Pavil | ion Hotel was nearly entirely destroyed. The greater portion of the roof has fallen in, and in ! the upper stories little is standing but the na ked walls. It is insured for S2OO in one ot Mr. J H. Taylor’s agencies, and S2OOO in the Charleston Insurance and Trust Company, which amount, we believe, will fully cover the dama ges. IxL-o'aMATiON Wantko.'-—The Warrenton, N C. News, says : Os O.

New York, October 30.—The i-i'i-liigence re- i lative to the war is conflicting, l.'p to the 9th inst. nothing had been done. The A ites num ber 90,000, and have a strong posit lon on the South of Sevastopol. The siege apparatus has been landed. Menschikoff holds the field, North, with 30,000 men, and is expecting 30,000 more. It was reported that he had said the city coaid not possibly hold out more than twelve days longer, without substantial reinforcements and assistance, which he wasauxiouly expecting daily. The Allies were in good spirits and con fident of ultimate victory. The Baltic fluffs will return home. Omar Pasha is preparing for extensive prepar ations on the Pruth and Dobrudscha. The Russian forces are being doncentrated on the Austrian frontiers. It is surmised that England and France are secretly organizing an independent Kingdom for Poland. James McHenry’s affairs are less unfavorable than they were at first represented to be. A number of firms in Dublin have tailed. Intense anxiety prevails throughout England and France, to hear from the Crimea Expedition Austria and Prussia were more favorably dis posed towards the Allies, but still maintain their previous dispositions. Affairs in Spain exhibit no special new fea ture. The Hungarians were exhibiting symtoms of uneasiness. The weather in England was fine and the sup ply of breadstuff’s good. The very Latest. Lord Raglan, expected to open fire upon Se vastopol in a few days. It is reported that 20,000 Russians had made a sortie from Sevastopol, but had been driven back. The Russian garrisons and armies in the Cri mea are 90,000 strong. The cholera is spreading in Dublin, but disap pearing from London The insurgents in China had made three Un successful attempts to take Canton. The hostilities at Shanghai were going on, but the Imperialists were still unsuccessful. The American ship Lady Pierce had arrived at Hong Kong, after visiting Jeddo and Samodi. She reports that she was favorably received. All foreign refugees had been ordered to leave Madrid, or give security for their good conduct. Worcester, Mass., Oct. 30 Violent Jlssaidt. Xtsa O, Butman, who arrested the fugitives Sims and Burns, was nearly beaten to death to-day by a crowd of negroes. He was rescued and secret ly conveyed out of the town. New York, Oct. 31.—The vessels sent in search of the Arctic’s boats have returned to St- Johns, but have brought no tidings ol them. New York, Nov. I.—The British mail steam ship Africa sailed from this port to-day for Liver pool with $913,000 in specie. Among her pas sengers was Arch Bishon Blanc,of New Orleans. New Orleans, Oct. 30. —There were 243 in terments in this city last week, including 107 rotn yellow fever. Z 1 -Cotton is in active demand at previous rates, ne sales to-day, comprise 6000 bales at 9 cents per lb. for Middling. Mess Pork was worth sl4 per bbl. Corn was quoted at from 80 to 85 cents per bushel. , New York, Oct. 30.— Neto York Markets.— Cotton is in moderate demand at previous rates. Good Ohio Flour is worth from $8,87J to 9,181 per bbl. Spirit of Turpentine is steady. Crude is worth $4,50 per bbl. Rice is in limited de mand at previous rates. New York, Oct. 31. Cotton was unchanged. Flour declined |2J cents per bbl. Good Ohio was worth $8,87i to 9,124 per bbl. Spirits of Turpentine was steady at 51 cents per gallon.— Rice was in limited demand, at from $5 to $5,50 per 100 lbs. New York, November I.—Cotton was firm today. Flour has declined from 25 a 374 cents per bbl. Lard is higher and quoted at from 92 alO) cents per lb. Rio Coffee is dull with a declining tendency, and commands 10J a 10J cents per lb. Spirits of Turpentine was worth from 51 a 51J cents per gallon. New Orleans Oct. 28. — Meiv Orleans Mar kets.—Colton is unchanged. The sales of the week have comprised 22,000 bales. Middling Oilcans is quoted at 7 cents per lb. The in- crease in the receipts is 46,000 bales. The sales of Cotton to-day have comprised 1500 bales.— Flour is worth $8 per bbl. New Molasses is de clining. New Orleans, October 30.—The steamships Star ol the South, and Mexico, and the barque Moses Kimball, have arrived from New York, and the ship Houghton from Boston. The Star of the South reports that the ship Iconiau, from New York tor New Orleans, was ashore on Loo Key. west of Florida Reef, and will probably be a total loss. Ihe New Hampshire Free Democratic State Convention have nominated Asa Fowler, of of Concord, formerly a democrat and law partner ot President Pierce, as the candidate for Gover nor. Hon. John P. Hale addressed the Con vention. The Depots for the Rubun Gap Railroad and the Knoxville and Kentucky Road, (a con tinuation of the-first,) have been located at Knoxville. Col. M. Churchwell, the pre sent Congressman from the Knoxville district has been elected President of the latter road. At Bath, Maine, Edward Z. C. Judson, alias Ned Buntline, the obscene novelist and the founder ot the Order of Know Nothings, who was arrested a few days since for shooting a colored man named Freeman, has been acquit ou the ground that he committed the act in self | defet.ee. The “Oyster Cholera’’ Panic in New York has played sad havoc with the dealers in oysters.— For several days past there has been almost a total cessation of business in that line, but the panic is now nearly over. The city is supplied principally by some sixty oys'er planters, who sell daily on an average S3OO worth, at the aver age rate of $lO a thousand. That would make the daily average sales of each dealer about 30,000, and for the whole sixty about 3,000,000, and worth about $30,000. This is an important and extensive branch of trade, not only in New York, but in Baltimore trlso, and the panic must of course seriously affect the interests , of thou sands who are either directly or indirrctly con nected with it. The excitement in that city has no reference to oysters from southern waters, as they do not usually begin to arrive thereuntil about the middle of November. Pennsylvania Coal Trade.—The anthracite coal trade in the Schuylkill region was very light last week. The Reading Railroad brought down some 28,500 tons, and the Schuylkill Navigation 11 380 tons. On the Lehigh Navigation the - weekly shipments were 39,697 tons. Hoge. ; LoursvtLLE, Oct. 24.—The packing season is {•rapidly approaching, and our country readers j wish doubtless ty know something about hogs, i I’here is truthing doing, however. Packers un ' der present circumstances, with a tight money i market and large stocks, and great depression in I prices of last year’s product, are loth to enter the market at the rates trow demanded. The crop, it is-now gener illy admitted, will show not so large a deficiency i s supposed some time ago. Some are offering $4 net, but this we think a little too low. We are confident, however, that no sales could at present be effected at over $4,50 net. The Alton Telegraph says : We hear it rumoured that five thousand hogs have been contracted for at Springfield, Illinois, at $3,50. The represented seller is a packer of that place. - The St. Louis Inteiijgencer says: ■ Here packers talk of $4, and so far as we have heard an egression of opinion, none calculated at less than that will be paid at any time during the season. A drover was in the city yesterday offering to contract 1000 or 1500 head at $5, but found no buyer. At Cincinnati $4 net is offered. LouisvilLe Cattle Market, Oct. 24. — Beeves—We quote 4f to 6c as the range. The prevailing quotations have been 5 to 6c for lair to good cattle. Sheep—Dull. We quote at from $1 to $2,50. Lambs sl. Hogs—The butchers are paying as high as 3Jc for fat corn fed; slop-fed 3 to 3jc.— Nashville Whig. Our friend' Mixer, says the Charleston Cou rier, has, we are gratified to perceive, repaired the damages the Charleston Hotel suffered from the great storm, and has again everything in first rate order. “The Crystal Palace,” was re-open ed on Saturday. The King of Bavaria, it seems, is a suitor in the courts of justice of New York, an action having been entered in the Superior Court, on Wednesday, in the name of Alaximilian, the se cond, King of Bavaria, as plaintiff, against Jacob Neustadler, (now established as a merchant in New York) to recover thirty thousand florins (about $12,000) alleged to be due and owing to said plaintiff. The Express understands that the claim is on alleged advances in establishing a silk factory at Bavaria some six years ago. The answer has not yet been put in. - The Alexandria Gazette says the oysters from the Chesapeake and its tributaries have proved poisonous this season. The Baltimore papers say that several who have eaten raw oysters, of late, have suddenly died soon after; and a cor respondent of the National Intelligencer quotes the authority of an old fisherman, that they are not safe or wholesome eating this year. The New York Tribune of Saturday says: We are informed that there has been another case of overdraft discovered in ope of the City Banks to an amount exceeding $100,009. The name of the bank has not become public. During the quarter ending 30th September there entered at New York 667 United States vessels, and 475 foreign vessels; total, 1,142, a deciease of 123 compared with the same quarter of 1853. Cleared, 373 United States, and. 464 foreign vessels; total 837: a decrease of 117 as | compared with 1853. The coastwise tonnage entered and cleared at the Custom House du ring the quarter was ; entered, 425 vessels, with 347,723 tonnage. This, however, is only a par tial exhibit of the coastwise trade, as vessels I from or to a domestic port, having neither foreign I goods or distilled spirits on board, are not oblig ed to enter or clear at the Custom House. The figures show a general decline in the coastwise trade as compared with the same quarter in 1853. The value of the foreign imports in American vessels was $43,125,716; in foreign vessels, $14,456,305. Exports in American vessels, $19,098,219; in foreign vessels, $8,829, 506. The Journal ol Commerce remarks that the dif ference between the exports by each class of vessels, great as it is, i's less than usual. The car rying trade has been very much depressed, ai d British and Continental vessels here hava been obliged to accept such rates for outward cargoes as they could obtain, while United States vessels j have been a littleTnore enterprising in look ing up business elsewhere, and many of them have been withdrawn Hom regular lines which I usually send out large cargos. The Missing Passengers of the Arctic. —Wm. Rathbone, of N. Y., who was a passen ger i n the Arctic, has written a letter to E. C. Benedict, of that city, which would seem to leave little room for doubt that Mr. A Benedict and his wife, with a number ofother passengers, embarked in the boat that left the ship in charge of the butcher. He says: 1 saw him (Mr. Benedict) in the dining sa loon after the collision, and said to him ‘‘ We are lost ” He replied, “Yes I fear we are. I then said to him, " I always expected to die a violent death, and the time is now come.” When the two quarter-boats on the larboaid side of the Artic were filled—principally with passengers—and the forward one and largest ol the two, was being lowered into the sea—w hich was done safely—l was near the side o the ship and saw Mr Benedict and his wife seated in that boat. That I recollect very distinctly, and also that they were the only individuals of all those in the boat with whose countenances 1 was fa miliar. He adds that there were 30 to 40 persons .in the boat, and among them 10 or 12 females. — He has a strong hope, he says, that they were picked up and taken to Europe. Among the recent failures in Cincinnati, was that of the banking house of P. B. Manchester, in which many persons in humble life had placed j their savings. His affairs are in the hands of I assignees, and the assets have been lound insuf- I ficient to meet the liabilities, the failure being caused by stock speculations and extravagant I living. Since his failure it has not been sale for ! him to be seen abroad in Cincinnati, and accor j dingly he left the city. At Lawrenceburg he j was arrested by one of his victims, just as he i was stepping on board the mail steamer High- I flyer, and having a large trunk with him it was ( attached by the Sheriff'. The claim was about S7OO. and he tried hard to evale the payment, saying that although the cas - was a hard one, there were many widows and orphans among his depositors much worse off, but finally, as the claimant was about to force open the trunk, he produced a key, opened it, took out a large pack age of securities and paid the amount, after which he was allowed to depart. Subsequently, he ar rived ata hotel in Columbus, registered a false name, was detected,and another depositor pre ferred a claim of seven hundred dollars, accom panied by a threat of lynch-law unless it was paid. This was done, and the fugitive allowed to depart. Miss Eliza Logan.—VY’e perceive by the St Louis papers that Miss Logan is playing in that city, where she is quite as great a favorite with the theatrical public as she is in Savannah. The press is unstinted in its praises of her, and by the published correspondence, we observe that a complimentary benefit had been tendered to her, in the most flattering terms, by a number of the leading gentlemen of St. Louis. The. benefit took place on th.e 21st ult. The Democrat re lates the following : Good.—During the performance of London Assurance on Fiiday night, at the People’s Thea tre, a little trifle was introduced, which, forthe moment gave a pleasing interest to the play. Grace Harkaway (Mrs. Potter) says,, placing a note she had been reading in her bosom, “ What shall Ido with it? —shall I put in the fireV 1 Just then an alarm of fire was given, which had bro ken out qear the theatre, Lady Gay Spanker (Miss Logan,) instantly replied: “No; it is near enough the fire where it is.” The house took it. Kansas Emigrants Coming Back.—Many of the emigrants sentout by the Anti-Slavery Society to take possession of the territory ol Kansas, are becoming sick of the undertaking. We do not wonder Northern abolition philan thropy when required to do more than talk and vote, has usually been found wanting. We find in the Boston Atlas some accounts from one of their emissaries. Says the Atlas : A young Milk street clerk, who went out with the September party from Boston, writes to his friends a most doleful account of his sufferings. He says that, after reaching Kansas City, he and s others of his party started on foot, gun in hand, for their new location. On their way, he says, they were obliged to sleep in the hay gathered up in the fields, purchasing a quart of milk of an Indian squaw for twenty-five cents to moisten their hard food ; that upon reaching their destin ation they found the accommodations to be a few overcrowded tents, and they were obliged to camp in the open air. The land now un claimed is some distance from the river, and is bare of wood. - In addition, he says, it is necesssary to keep a vigilant eye upon their effects, for fear of their disapperance. He declares that of the party of one hundred and sixty w£o left with him, at least ninety are on their way back to the East ward, well satisfied that they are rot fitted to settle a new and unbroken country, and quite disposed to pronounce the whole Kansas scheme a grand humbug. On the 6th inst. an exploring part}- from In diana, consisting of nineteen persons, represent- ■ ing as many families, passed through Parkville i for Kansas. They were well provided for a three I weeks’ tour in the new Territory, and intended ‘ to return for their families as soon as they- found j their locations. Another large compiny was ex- ■ pected from Illinois. The Fayetteville “Independent,” states that numbers of squatters are taking possession of the “Neutral Land” of the Cherokees, in Kansas, which has not yet been acquired by the govern ment. The land thus designated consists of half a million of acres, very favorably located, which the “Independent” advises settleis to avoid, lest they should lose both their time and improve ments. The Hostile Fleets in the Pacific.—The combined English and French squadrons in the Pacific consist of an English steamer, a fifty gun frigate, a forty gun ship and a corvette, and a French sixty-four frigate, another of forty guns a twenty gun brig, and another vessel, the calibre not known—the whole under the command of Admiral Priee. It is supposed they have gone to Petropoloski, a strongly fortified Russian harbor on the Pacific coast, where from seven to “liine Russian armed ships are supposed to have taken refuge. When, the combined squadrons arrive at Petropoloski, if the season has not ad vanced too far, and fogs do not prevent, a general naval battle will most probably be fought. The British Government is already making ar i rangements for the next campaign. The Dub- I lin Daily Express says, that early in March, the 18th, the 51st, the 54th, the 56th, the 66th, the | 72d, and the 80th, the 82d, the 90th and 94th \ regiments will be in England, and prepared to proceed to the Baltic. It would thus appear that a long struggle is anticipated. The cost in the end will be immense, and unless the allies i should be discomfitted, an effort will no doubt be i made to obtain restitution from the Czar Such ! is already the sentiment of a large portion of the - people of England and France. The Charleston Theatre opened forthe win-> i ter season, on Monday night, under the manage- i i raent of Mr. Duffield. The Hunchback was the 1 I play, with Miss Ince as Julia. Mr. Duffield is well known at New Orleans | and other great cities, as a most able manager, : I and accomplished performer. He is certain o ! • success in the Palmetto City. The Indian version of the recent massacree at Fort Laramie, is as follows: Lieut. Grattan commenced a parley regarding the killing of the cow, when Hig Hear, the chief, come up with a sort ol lance, and struck at and wounded him, calling him a squaw and a coward, and charged him with being afraid to fight. Grattan drew his revolver, fired a number of times, wounding the chief, and then elevated his cannon and fired, intending to intimidate the Indians from further violence without taking their lives. The whole band of Indians then made a rush at, and killed upon the spot all but one, who finally es caped, and live#to reach the fort, but could make no explanation of the occurrence. He stated that he had been repulsed by one of the French traders and driven away; although he lad seve ral holes shot through him, he lived to crawl twelve miles to the fort. Lieut. Grattan was found under the cannon, pierced with twenty arrowsand a number of balls. He had fallen across the cannon, where his life’s blood still ad hered They then filled the cannop with man- ■ ure, and pulled off and thrust in the Lieuteilant’s I boots. i The North Carolina six per ceiit.Joan of $260,- : 000 was taken at Raleigh,on the 2lith ult, at ar. I average premium of 14 per cent., the purchasers : paying the accrued interest from Ist July. No bids were received frem New York, and the ; whole loan, with the exception of $24,000, was i taken by parties in North Carolina. A prior I six per cent, loan for that State was taken by ■ New Y'ork capitalists, in March. 1853. at 105 20 per hundred dollars: another of $500,000 in Oc- 1 tober, 1853, at three percent, premium for ac ' count of the Sinking Fund >of Alabama: and ; another loan of $500,000 in March last, princi j pally by New York capitalists, at an average of j 104.25. I The Isabel.—By the arrival of the pilot boat ( schooner Dart from Key West yesterday, we re ceived the gratifying Intelligence that the Isa- I be! had arrived at that port, having met with, as ; we anticipated, an accident to her machinery. I In our marine intelligence and Key West Cor ! respondence will be found full particulars of the accident. The Dart brought the Isabel’s mails from Ha vana aid Key West, having left the former port on the 25th instant, the regular day. Capt. Tittle deserves great credit for the energy and promptness he has displayed in making the ne cessary arrangements for the transmission of the mails and passengers. W- are indebted to Mr. Mahoney, the Purser of the Isabel, who came on in the charge of the mails, for his polite attention - Ch. Cour., Ist inst The proceedings.under the fugitive law'at Boston in the case of Jlnthony Burns, not long since reclaimed by his master, Captain Scuttle, of Alexandria, Virginia, cost the United States within a fraction of $27,000 for extra police and m litary force alone. This does not cover the usual ordinary expenses incurred in the case, such as the tees of the regular officers of the United States employed in the case. The Washington Star says that $15,000 of the above $27,000 were duly paid last week. Gold Scramble at New York. —The de mand for gold for shipment to Europe creates a sort of scramble in New York to get it assayed at the new assay office there as it arrives from Califi-rnia. For a week or twopast the exports of gold have fallen off very considerably, one of j the reasons for which appears to have been a ' want of sufficient supply. The arrival, there-’ fore, of $1,900,000, by the two steamers at the close of last week, led to the expectation of large shipments on Saturday last, which, however, did not take place, the amount of specie shipped by the Baltic steamer for Liverpool that day being only $142,000. The receipts per the California steamers could not be made available in time, According to the following from the New York' Post: “ The assay office afforded unusual facilities to the shipping interest, keeping the office open till after dark on Friday, six o’clock, by orders from the sub-treasurer, up to which time 30,000 ounces of gold had been deposited during the afternoon. The furnaces were got leady by seven o’clock this morning, when the assay was commenced; and part of it will be finished in time for pay ment to-day, before 3 o’clock, which will help a little the bank statement. The whole deposit made up to twelve o’clock to-day, and including that made yesterday amounted to 43,000 oz., which, at $lB per oz., is about SBOO,OOO in value. We learn that nearly the whole deposits were in dust, which is ordered to be put into bars, evidently being the intention of its owners for shipment. It will be a better sign for the money market when dust and bars are sent in for coinage. The previous deposits of gold only amounted to $624,000. The price for parting and putting into bars is 33 cents per SIOO, and that for parting and coining is 77 cents—making a difference of 44 'cents per SIOO, or seven-six teenths of one per cent in favor of bars, which are equally serviceable for shipment as coin. Ejectment Suit. “ Pink," the New Y’ork Correspondent of the Charleston Courier, under date ot the 26th ult., w rites: “ An ejectment suit, involving millions of dol lars, has been brought in the U. S. Circuit Court of this city. The case is brought by the de scendant of a butcher, who died in iSOI, who, at the time of his death, owned a farm, comprising theqiresent Fifteenth VVard of this city. During the various transfers of this pro peity from family to family, a widow’ Brown contends that some of the mortgages were in valid ; and if such can be proven, some of the titles to this immense property aie worth the paper upon which they are written. The pro perty in dispute is bounded by Fourteenth-st., Sixth Avenue. Eleventh-st. and Fourth Avenue, and is estimated to be worth ten millions of dol lars. The most distinguished lawyers in the city are engaged Judge Bronson, Attorney General Chatfield, and several others for Mrs. Brown: while Charles O’Conor, Judge Emmett and a number of others are retaiued’by the de fendants. The British steamer Jura, reported by tele graph as being due at Boston from Liverpool, it is stated has been withdrawn for several weeks, and did not leave on the 11th instant, the ad vertised day of her intended departure. The Arctic —The late carpenter of the Arc tic, Mr. Bailey, has published a card in the New York Tribune reflecting somewhat upon Captain Luce, in so tar that it indirectly charges him with inefficiency from first to last. It will pro bably elicit a response, from Captain Luce. The President has appointed George I. Curry, of Oregon, to be Governor of the Territory of Oregon, William H. Farrar, of Oregon, tube At torney ot the United States for the Territory of Oregon; and Benjamin F. Harding, of Oregon, to be Secretary of the Territory of Oregon. I At Philadelphia, on Friday, the trial of Ste phen J. Beale, the dentist, charged with an out rage on a young woman, was concluded. The jury rendered a verdict of guilty, but recommend ed the prisoner to mercy. Mr. Reale was for merly regarded as an excellent man, anJ had I been ter some time a church communicant.
