Our Lati Municipal Election.
In view of all the circumstances that nttendod
tho lato oonteit in this oily, tho election of nn
American Mnyor and two Aldermen, is a result
that may be regarded as a triumph. Complete
success was withiuour grasp, yet, never did a party
succeed at all that had greater obstacles to oueoun-
ter. Tho oecnsion ia Instructive, and wo hopo ita
I loaaona will be taker to ltoart.
! We aaid llwas a triumph, and wc will give tho
• reason. Forthu office of Mayor tho opposition
brought into the field an old and valued citizen,
respected for his intelligence und integrity, largely
identified with all tho great interests of tho city,
und whose time and energies hud been libornlly
devoted to tho enusc of tholr advancement—a man
untiring in whatever he uiulortakus, und who en
tered tho tiold with thepreitiyc of success about
him—with tho laurels wou In a former contest w ith
his present competitor still fresh-upon his brow.—
Could a party wish for brighter auspices of success,
or its ad versa ry find more to appall and dishearten
it iu the conflict ?
Iu despite of nil theso diaeourngmonts, tho
American party, strong in tho correctness of their
principles, with nn abiding faith In tho Justice of
a people whom they had faithfully served, und
with a tried and gallant leader al their head, bold
ly entered the Held and fought tho buttle. Tho
result bus already been announced—but half a
victory; yet a noble half! And this brings us to a
second point to which wo desire to invite tho se
rious attention of our Amoricnn friends :
Why was their triumph not complete? Wo
propose to answer this question, and hopo wo may
ho heard attentively. The American Party de
feated it*e(f'! Their disaster is not tho work of tho
enemy, but comes from suicidal bunds. They did
not stand "shoulder to shoulder," ns erroneously
supposed by some of our cotempornrios at a dis
tance. but to the contrary most strangely trilled
away a victory which they had but to grasp to
mnko their own.
Tho veto cost nt tho late election was 1677. Of
this number, 727 were straight Democratic, and
6.10 straight American tickets, giving a majority of
98 to tho Democratic ticket. The remainder of tho
tickets, or 320 were split, and of the number 00
were Democratic and 260 American. Lot us put
these split votes where they properly be long, and
soo wlmt would have boon the result had the mem
bers of each party voted only for their own ticket;
ns follows:
American straight tickets 6.10
do split do 200
800
Democratic straight tickets 727
do split do 60

Wo nro gratified to hear of its prosperity, and hope

Literary Notices.
Border Beagles—A Tale of Mississippi : by W. ■
Gilmore Simm^, New York: Rodfield, puulisher.
For sale by W. Thorne Williams.
This volume belongs to the new nnd revised edi
tion of Simms' works, now iu the course of publi- !
cation. Wo would repent tbc remark inude iu our
notico of a former number of the scries, that tho i
friends of Southern literature, who desire the works j
of the gifted author in a convenient nnd elegant
form, should avail themselves of the present edi
tion.
Smike—From tho Nicholas Nicklcby of Charles i
Dickens. New York: Rcdficld. For sale by 1
W. Thorno Williams.
In this -lory of a sud experience for the young
heart, there is much of consolation. The sufferings ■
of Smike made Nicholas manly iu his sympathy—
bringing out in his nature d deep abhorrence of |
tyranny, nnd a love for the neglected and sorrow- j
ing. He dues not live, aud suffer, and die in vain, j
who colls forth into life the virtues of nnoiher soul. I
The Child-Wife. From tho David C'npperfield
of Dickens. New York: Itedlicld. Fur suits by i
W. Thorne Williams.
The admirers of Dickens will bo glad to learn J
that this most delightful production of his pen |
has been curtailed und adapted to the compreben- ;
sion of the youthful reader. Tho history of Dora, j
although so lovable in its simplicity nnd childish- |
ness, tenches the great truth that a character so |
unformed, fails to satisfy the companion who hns ,
higher views of tho duties aud trials of life; while 1
it is seen that Agnes, with her strong and yet gen
tle spirit, meets a want that the sweetest and most
winning ways of Dora could not satisfy.
Ail.tP.Fonn—A family History. By tho author of
"John Dray ton." Now York: Stringer i Town
send. For sale by W. Thorne Williams.
One of Stringer & Townsend’s "Library of
Standard Novels"—so culled. It belong-, proper
ly, however, to that species of light and worthless
literature with which the country just at this time
i- literally flooded.
A i.hack's—A Tale of English i*oglety. New York :
H. Long A Brother. For sale by Warnock A
Davis.
The publishers have done well to re-produce this
old and favorite romance. All those who would dive
into the most hidden secrets nnd mysteries of fash
ionable life in London, will find "Almack’b" an
invaluable guide. It i« well written, nnd unexcop-
t onnble in its character and tendency.
Ln.y IIl'Sox; or Early Struggles 'midst continual
Hone—An autobiography, by Alice Gray. New
York : 11. Long A Brother. For sale by V\ ar-
nock A Davis.
This belongs to tho same class of novels with
" Ailioford," noticed above. With somewhat that is
good and somewhat that is bnd, it contains noth
ing that would be remembered a week nfter its pe
rusal.
New Orleans Picavuno.—This spirited nnd
popular Southern Journal Inis donned a new and
beautiful dress, of eoppor-faced typo, and now ap
pears daily on a largo double sheet. It is elegant
ly printed, and most ably conducted.
Maryland Unite,i> States Senator.—The
Wa*hington correspondent of the New York Times
Subtracted gives majority of American votes 103
Thus it will he seeu that flic American party
had tho election in their own hands, but through
some unncountuUo infatuation, allowed it to slip
away between their fingers. It is an instance of
bad conduct towards ones friend.-, for which there is
no excuse. The American ticket was tnkcu from
nmong our very best citizens, while u majority of
them Imd just completed u term of most honorable
nnd useful service to tho city.
Tho American party of Savannah nnd of Chat
ham county, is invinciblo when its members net in
liurmony; nnd from whatever cause the Into dis
affection may have arisen, wo hope these disastrous
consequences that have followed as its ligltimnte
fruit, may prove a lesson of wisdom to deter the un
thinking from the repetition of tho experiment.—
We have been hcntcu, but not by the Democratic
party, nnd they confess it. The American flughns
been trailed in tlie dust by the very men who had
pledged themselves to stand by and defend it.—
Wo leuvo them to tho edifying reflection.
It is extremely mortifying and discouraging to
thoso who have borne the toil and heat of the (lay,
alter n battlo has been fought and won, to have all
their hopes thus dashed in tho very hour of vic
tory. Let theso men who have procured our partial
defeat, reflect upon their folly and resolve in fu
ture to repair the injustice they have inflicted upon
a good cause : or else, let them no longer “hold
the promise to tho car uml break it to the hope."—
We had rather enter the field nidi a forlorn hope,
than with a legion of mon upon whom wo may
not firmly roly in the hour of trial.
[For tho Republican.]
An Hour nt the Athenu um.
If ouf remarks in tho Rejniblican, of tho 7thiust.,
hud tho effect of muking so good a Duedcnionn ns
wo had the pleasure ol' seeing on the an mo evening,
wc ure amply recompensed for the pain wo suffered
in giving vent to our "unkind, not to say rudo
comments,” us the editor (who always puts lance
in rest in the cause of distressed damsels) very
pithily denominates them. In good truth, wo wore
“ cruel only to he kind,” und Miss Rccdor, wo
doubt not, appreciates fur more highly tho good
friend who candidly points out her faults, even
though ho doe.-, so unsparingly, than she values
the miserable flatterer, who stands always ready
with his sickening offering of fulsome adulation,—
ns poor n compliment to her senso, us it is ft posi
tive nhstaclo to her success.
We nrc not singular in the opinion that Miss
Reeder not only " looked " the beautiful Venetian,
but that she infused into the portrayal of tho char
acter tho artless tenderness, the quiet devotion, nnd
above nil, the moving pathos, which render Dcsde-
monn tho object of such love and pity in the hearts
of nil. Tito scene in which she urges the suit of
Cnssio wns rendered naturally, nnd with a sweet
enrne.-tncsa of voice nnd manner; ami the agitation
consequent upon Othello's vehement demand for
the hntikerchicf, wns nnturul, und by no menus
overstrained. Above all, her voice, naturally sweet,
wns not urged into that disagreeable fulsetto, and
the text wns spoken with nn easy nnd natural flow.
If this be wlmt the Morniny Xeira denominates
"embarrassment," it is tho euibnrrnssinont wo
should be pleased to see in the portrayal of every
delicute and pure-minded woman. We laugh nt
the impotent fury and harmless violence of an an
gry female—wc nrc shocked and disgusted at the
masculinu energy ofu Thulcstris—, but we nrc melt
ed by the quiet tears nnd touching distress of n
helpless nnd appealing woman : tho instinct of
every true heart, that nature 1ms appointed mnn
tho protector of the softer sox, ia at onco aroused
by the spectacle of quiet suffering and suppressed
anguish. It is for this reason that we delighted
in tho " ombnrrnssincnt ” of Miss Rccdor on Fri
day night.
It would he a matter of considerable grntulation
to us if Mr. Chippendale would not turn his role
on every occasion into low comedy : it should he
enough of glory for him tomnkc the audience laugh
through farces nml not through tragedies. L.
The Troops not Ohiibred Oft.—The Washing
ton correspondent of the Now-York Tribune, wri
ting lice. 5th, says:—"The President 1ms taken no
positive steps as to the requisition of Gov. Shannon
for United States troops. When (Shannon's des
patch was first received in Washington ita authen
ticity was doubted by the President mid his cabi
net, but when thu fact that llm thing was not a
hoax np|»cnrml to lie satisfactorily established, tho
President telegraphod ,Shannon to employ all Iho
authority nt his command to suppress the outbreak,
nml when a full aud formal statuincnt of the facts
iu thu case should reach Washington, tho Govern
ment would act as tho exigency of the cnao should
seem to demand.”
Secretary of Legation at London.—Mr. Ap
pleton, the American Secretary of Legation at
London, has resigned. This will probably delay
tho return of Mr. Buchanan, ni Mr. Appleton had
Ihioii nppoictcd Charge d'Affnirs, ad interim which
ho alss declined, preferring In return homo.

Tho Governor's ’ Leveo, lust night, was very

I learn from Marylanders, who nro well posted
In regard to Tiolitienl inovcimints in that Slate,
that Hon. Job 11 P. Kennedy is certain to bo elect-
'■d to the United Slate Senate, to succeed Ex-
Goveruor Pratt. It is sincerely to bo hoped this
chance for the butler may bo accomplished. Mr.
Kennedy does uoi need testimony to hi« superior
abilities,or to bis moral worth. Maryland will
honor herself in sending a gentleman of his stamp

Tho House then took up the unfinished business
of yesterday, which was a bill in reference to the

Administrators, Guardians, Trustees and Agents.
The bill makes the owner linblo for medical fees

for service actually received, if slnvo should dio
boforo his time of service expires. Tho hill was
warmly opposed by Messrs. Dawson of Greene,
Jones of Muscogee, Ward of Butts und Harris of

nnd extension of tho Penitentiary buildings.
On motion of Dr. Phillips, tho majority report
on tho same subject was taken up, rend, and

it will probably form tho basis of whatever action

Tho Senate hns been engaged nearly all day on

Numerous amendments proposing to include other
Companies in tho aid granted, have been offered, but
invariably voted down ; various amendments have
also been offered to the bill, which arc still pending
nnd will probably requiro nil of to-morrow to dispose
of. As there has been no mntcrinl change in the
tenor nnd prospect of tho bill, since my last, I
do not trouble you with an account of tho va

IIOF8E OF HE I* RE KENT ATI VER.
A message was received this morning from Hi*
Excellency, the Governor, in relation to (lie Public
Buildings at Milledgovillo. The message assume.-
the Removal question to he settled by the Intepux-

813.89, and the Goverm r recommend-the adoption

that it umlorsos and approves of tho action of tho

port of tho Asylum by the State.
The proceedings of tho Hennto to-day wero very
interesting ns giving somo indications of the prob
able fate of tho bill now beforo it. granting aid to
the Brunswick nnd tho Suvnnnnli Railroad Com
panies. Nearly tho whole morning wns spent in
tho consideration of amendments to the commit
tee's bill, and its amendments. Home of theso only
contemplated a rigid security to tho State ; others,
tho downright strangulation of tho bill. Tho for
mer wore accepted, tho hitter invariably voted
down—a very noticeable indication of tho bill’s
fate. Of tho various amendments offered. I shall
only notico tho more important ones. Judgo Cono
proposed an aiuondmcnt, which provided that no
bonds in aid should issue, until $4,000,000 worth
of stock in the Brunswick A Floridn Rond bndbocn
taken by citizens of Georgia, The failure to make
the same provision as regards the Savannah ltond,
was doubtless owing to the Judge’s Inadvortoucc—
a thing ho is seldom chargeable with. There were
other features in his amendment, hut it was this
one which caused it to be lost. The Senate inter
preted it as one of the murderous amendments above
alluded to. Tho Judge said that he had not tntulo
up his mind as to how ho would vote on thu final
iseiie. but 0110 thing ho could say. if the amendment
he proposed was but engrafted 011 the bill, ho would
certainly vote against its passage.
The next move taken, and there is no doubt but
it saved the hill, wns a very noticeable one. Mr.
Hnrdcinnu of Bibb, offered nn amendment almost
identical with Judge Cone’s, with tho exception of
tho feature (above noticed) of tho "Four million"
Mib-eviption. It provides that a record of tho
si'*, I;holders shall be filed in tho office of tho Comp
troller General; that no transfer of stock shall ho
made, except to subvert persons, citizens of Geor
gia, vouched for to the Governor of tho State, as to
their solvency and citizenship: the name of tho
puny to whom stock is transferred must he filed iu
lieu of tho original holder's name ; nnd no transfer
shall lie valid unless approved and sanctioned by
the Governor. This amendment was accepted by
the friends of tho bill and adopted by tho Scnnto.
Judgo Baxter, of Hancock, offered nn amend
ment, which proposed to submit the question of
State aid to theso Roads to tho people. Lost.—
Ayr- 38—nays 47.
l'i in all llm indications, the sooth-suyerfl nugur
fiivurably "f the success of tho bill. The total vote
on Judge Baxter’s resolution, generally considered
a* a very fair test-vote, was but 86, while there are
112 Hi-nator*. There is a broad margin of doubt, j
on which to speculate. AH in all, however, I think
it sale to predict that tho hill will most probably go
through ; the unerring certainty, so far, of death to
nil amendments calculated to cumber tho real mer
it* of the bill, or strangle it outright, tho refusal
of the Senate to post-pono n decision of the ques-
tinii, which refusal, it is understood’, came from
friends of the bill ; and the general opinion on tho
subject, so far as it can l*c gleaned by an outsi
der. form the basis of this prediction.
The Semite passed a bill incorporating tho "Can
ton Mining Company." No new mutter was intro
duced.
While I am predicting, I will hazard my repu
tation on the following prophecy, that there will ho
110 adjournment tine die, until on or about the
first of March next. According to the result ho my
lame as a disecruor of coming events. C w *®.

Accounts from Kansas state that an ofDcer be
longing to the military organization of Free State
uicn. had been captured at Atchison, nml written
orders found upon his person to burn down tho
town and murder McLauphlin.
As the male population hud gono to Lncompton

Weston for assistance, and n party left that pluce
lust night for Atchison, to defend thu pluce.
[second despatch]
St. Louis, Doc. 5.
The Kansas Froo State papers give their version
of the difficulties, from which it appears that n
young man named Dow was shot down by ft Mis-
bourian Mined Coleinnn, who was rescued by his
friends. .\ meeting of citizens wns hold on tho
spot, which pronounced the net a cold-blooded
murder 11ml implicated some of the abettors. Sheriff
Junes arrested Jacob Bronson, iu whoso house Dow
lived, but he wns rescued by his neighbors, where
upon Jones sent to Pnwnec for aid, declaring that
the Governor had assured him of nssi.Muuco to tho
extent of ten thousand men, if nccdod.
A Gigantic Concert.—A Paris letter describes
a concert on 11 gigantic scnlo which wns to take
place on the Pulaino of the Great Exhibition on the
loth tilt :
The orchestra is to bo composed of 120 violins,
47) altos. 46 viulincellos, 30 basses, and upwards of
200 wind instruments, besides a chorus of 500 voi
ces, of which 230 nro male, tenors, and busses, two
hundred female, and seventy young choristers. All
the harpists in Paris have been put in requisition,
and proving insufficient, a dozen more are coming
over from Loudon; several musical deputations
from various countries are to join this musical fes
tival, the most considerable of whom is that from
Brussels, sent by M. Fetes. Amongst tho various
pieces to bo performed, are tho overturn to Dor
Frcvschutz, of which tho andante movement is to
hu executed by 24 boms ; a chorus of Handers
from Judua Muecabous ; part of tho symphony of
Uuctbuovun, in C minor ; the Prayer of Moses, by
thirty harps ; n chorus from the Huguenots ; Arc
1 '< riiiii of Mozort and the To Dcitm of Berlioz, fol
lowed by the Marche det Drapeaux executed by
thirty harps and thu full orchestra. M. Berlioz is
to conduct this formidahie musical army, by means
of five aid-do-ciinips under his orders, aided by an
clue trie metronome with five conductors constructed
expressly fur the purpose by n Belgian mechani
cian, M.*Werbrugglio. This instrument may bo
looked upon ns a valuable application of science to
thu musical art; it has already been tried with suc
cess by M. Berlioz, iu Belgium, in lending tho cho-
russes* of thu Infancy of Christ, although it is as
yet unknown in Franco. It consists of a brass key
similar to a note of the piano, attached to tho desk
of the conductor, nnd which, upon tho slightest
pressure of the left hand, while the other is direct
ing tho measure to those immediately around him,
trail mils the principal changes of timo to thu fur
ther extremities of the orchestra. So that, ns it is
ingeniously remarked, " « single person might
conduct four orchestras at the four extremities of
the globe, with thu certainty that they would exe
cute as perfectly and irreproachably the same per
formance, ns if they "'(-'t' 0 under tho immediate
baton of their lender.”
The First Methodist Meeting House in
America.—.1 Relic of Olden Timet.—A "Church
Aiciiilecture," recently published in London, con
tains tho following interesting notico of the first
Methodist Mooting House iu Americas
‘•Tho first Methodist meeting house in America
was a log hut ; .but subsequently, through thu iu-
d of Captain Welib, a piece of ground was
prui'uruil upon Golden Hill, ft rising ground near
llm borders of New York ; now mimed John
street. Materials were purchased nnd contracts
entered into, in the names of those persons who
joined with Captain Webli in the undertaking.—
Tilt luiildiiig was GO foot long by 42 feet wide. It
was opcmtl on the 30th of October, 1768, by Mr.
Embry, who, boing by trade a carpenter, had him
self constructed tho pulpit from which lie preached.
It had an area iu front of about 30 feet
square, separated from tho street by n wooded
fence. There wero three square headed windows
siirinoiiutcd by a circular ono, near the roof, below
which was an arched door, and subsequently side
entrances by stops to tho galleries. In order to
reach the galleries when first erected, it was neces
sary to mount by a ladder aud llion sit upon plat
forms, and Ibr 11 long time hunches only with hacks
were provided below. Such was the construotion
of the first Methodist ('Impel in tho Western
World."
Iti'hhia.—St. Petersburg!! letters state that in
o(insoi|Honeo "f tho facilities of transport from
Fro*!, it is believed considerable quantities of lin
seed will be exported over land, and that the gene
ral exports after December would bo sufficient to
produce a rally in the rate of exchange. Accord
ing I" reports from tho PriiHsiiiu port of Mcmel
grciil qunuliticH of sulphur, saltpetre, and other ar
ticles contraband of war continue to lie sent over
the frontier, the parties in the trade insuring, fora
small promimii, its delivery in Russian territory.

Tho correspondence from the Alllod Camp on
thu Tchcrimyu is to thu 10th of Novunihor, und re
lates solely to tho hulling of thu armies, tho litis-
sinus and thu Allies being both tliun under cover.
There were still apprehensions of a Itus.-inii at
tack.
Paris correspondence of tho Loudon Globe (Min
isterial paper) says that, although winter stops
field operations iu tho Crimen, it is intended to
bombard tho northern side of Hebastopol, to per
mit tlm fleet to winter iu the hurbur.
Letters statu that the town of Mnrinnnpol, on
tho North const of the Sea of Azoff, was bombard
ed by tho Allies oil thu 31st of Uutokcr. Ono
hundred shell were thrown, aud thu town rut on
fire, tih Austrian merchants hoisted tho Austriun
flag over tho warehouse, when the firing caused.—
It ivus rumored that Gen. Wrangle menaced tho
Allied position at the Ktrnits of Yuuikale. Thu
Allies lmd, howorver, 30,000 men there, and ex
pect to bo reinforced by 15,000.
The liivnlhlo Russe uuuoiiiices that large num
bers of tho Allied forces embarked ut Euputoriu on
the 14th Inst., nnd sailed westward.
Tho London Times publishes elaborate edltoriiil
calculations showing tliut the total nvnilnble
strength of Russia is 83 per thousand souls ; uml
that she hns ulrcudy used 58, which ullows only
ten months more, at thu present ratio, to exhaust
her lust intin, her last eusli rouble being already
expended. A general nrinauiout of thu llussiuii
Empire is tnlkud of.
A dispatch from Berlin of tho 10th says tho
Russian Loan with Gurtnnu capitalists has been
concluded.
Tho Czar arrived at St. Petersburg!! on the 19th
in good health. Hu has extended tho inducements
to poor nobles to enter tho Army.
Asia.—Trocibonde advices of tho 5th say, that,
during thu past fortnight, no news lmd ronched
Erzorooui from Kars. Omar Pacha’s vanguard had
ronched Okum.
The Smyrna Hospital has been evacuated und
converted into barracks for Swiss und Gorman Le
gions.
The Baltic.—Admirals Dioxins and Pcnnixl,
with their flag ships ami pnrt of the fleet, nro in
tho Bay of Kiel. A steamer is detailed to wutch
for no American elippor, supposed to be in tho Bal
tic with u cargo of revolvers.
Sweden joins the alliance.—Respecting Cnu-
robert’s mission to Sweden wc have only 11 Paris
rumor—but tho rumor is important, and is ns fol
lows : That terms of a military Convention are
agreed to; that Sweden will furnish a contingent,
to act with the Allies next Spring, if peace ho not
previously restored; and that an army of French,
English, and Swedes will bo sent to Cuurlnnd, to
force Prussia and Austria to dcclaro themselves,
nnd iu return for her alliance, tho Allies will guar
antee Finland to her.
Cunrobert hns been overwhelmed with honor.—
His mission to Denmark is now tho great point of
interest. Want of success thero might neutralize
tho advantage gained in Sweden, us it is not be
lieved that theso two powers could adopt different
lines of policy.
The London Morning Post, however, contra
dicts thu Times with regard to tho alleged Swe
dish alliance, nnd says that the Times’ details of a
military convention, and its assertion of tho ad
hesion of Denmark, are without foundation.
Peace.—Rumors of a disposition on tho pnrt
of the Russian government to make tho first ad
vances to negotiate for peace, continue to prevail,
but excepting reliable information that the mer
cantile classos in Russia are weary of war, there is
no nppnrcnt ground for tho rumors. It is however
contidontlyjreportud that M. Do Munster, military
envoy of Prussia at St. Petersburg, bail visited tho
Czar at Nieolaieff, with a view of inducing him to
recognise certain conditions of pence, such ns
would he laid before the French and English Cab
inets. Tho Czar listened favorably to M. De Mun
ster’s proposi'ions.
The Prussian Cabinet is now in possession of tho
views of Emperor Aluxnmlcr, and is empowered to
make them known to thu Western Powers, who on
their part have not refused to listen to them,though
at the sumo lime they have declared them to he in
sufficient. The great fact is that negotiations be
tween Russia ainl Prussia nro still proceeding.
The Court of Berlin is making tho greatest ef
forts to induce tho L'znrto consent to such terms as
will really lend ton pacific result. As tho Prussian
Cabinet is sufficiently well acquainted wi li tho
firm resolution of tho allied powers, thu continua
tion of the negotiation ntlonls some ground fur
hoping that there is at least a chance of peace.
Turkey.—Constantinople correspondence des
cribes a bad state of atlairs there. Murders nnd
robberies wcie taking place iu tho open streets,
with n great and increasing fanaticism against tho
Christians—especially the French. The Allied
commandants have called on tho Turkish Govcrn-
J'; provunt Furtliui' outrage.*, under a threat of
the Allies taking immediately the pollco of the city
into their own hands. Several of the Tunisian
mutineers have been condemned to death, nnd tho
rest of them will ho sent to Patoum nnd Suuckmu
Kale.
Great Britain.—Henry Lnbouchcrs hns been
sworn ns Secretary of Statu for the Colonics. Tho
number of Manchester operatives on a strike is
3101), of whom 1760 are thrown out of work by the
stoppage of the other hands. They nil conduct

A petition is circulating in Liverpool for tho rc-

General Markham is (lend. He returned to Eng

France.—The King of Sardinia hns arrived in
Paris, and met with a favorable reception. The
Pope's Nuncio loft tho city in order that lie might
not cotno in contact with tho excommunicated
sovereign.
It is reported that the Emperor hns invited the
Pope to Paris to baptize his coming child.
Spain.—Tho Spnni*h government are reported
to be unanimous in favor of joining the Alliance,
but the occasion is deferred until Spain can ap
pear ns 11 great nation. At present, she hns no
spare money, nor soldiers.
Denmark.—There wns every chance that tho
Sound Dues Conference would bo opened nt Copen
hagen on the 20th of November. Russia wns tho
only Power that would send a special envoy, the
other Governments accrediting their resident am
bassadors, assisted by persons conversant with tho
subject. It had been settled that Russia might
take part in thu Conference simultaneously with
tho Powers with whom she is nt war.

War in Asia.—The Muniteur publishes tlie fol
lowing, dated Constantinople, Nov. 12th.
According to last accounts, Omar Pacha was ex
pecting battle. General Mouravieff lmd detached
a division from his army, which was advancing bv
forced marches on Kutars, by Akniskn Road.—
About 8000 Turks, under Muslin Pnclin lmd loft
Bntoum to try and cut oil'this detachment. Early
in the month they Imd reached Osurgctlii, nnd the
cunimnnilcr-iii-chicf made them Aucet him at Kut-
nrs. which will become tho theatre of sumo import
ant engagement, unless (lie Russians intend en
trenching themselves iu the defiles which protect
the advance on Titlis.
Tlie Times’city article, dated Friday evening,
says :—" The English Funds opened with firmness
thi* morning at the final quotation of yesterday,
and for a short timo exhibited a tendency to furth
er improvement, hut ultimately 11 gradual decline
took place, tlie market closing with a general ap
pearance of dullness. Tho occurrence of sales in

which wero the cause of the reaction, coupled with
