Telegraphed to the Charleston Daily Standard. One Week Later from Europe! AI!RIVAL 0F ™ E BALTIC. The Emperor Napoleon narrowly escaped assassination on the evening of the 28tli.— 4 It a liau tired two pietol shots at him whilst on horseback. Personal revenge was his on ly object. Lord John Russell, the English represen tative in the Vienna Conference, had reached London on his return from Vienna. The French envoy to the Conference had also re turned to Paris. The King of Prussia at the latest dates was quite ill with a fever, and some fears were entertained for his recovery. Progress of the War.— The latest dates from Sevastopol aye to the 4th inst., one day preceding the sailing of the steamer, receiv yhl per telegraph. The Allies were gaining ■ground, all the Russian outworks having tieen taken. Sanguinary encounters were frequent, and the loss on both sides was itn- Vneuse. There was nothing, however, in the siege yet to warrant an assault, and the bombardment had much slackened, not hav ing produced the result anticipated ; indeed, the position ol'the allies was regarded ns critical notwithstanding the advantages they had gained. A large number of Rus sian mortars had been taken, with many prisoners Daily telegraphic communication between London and the Crimea was fully establish ed and continued uninterrupted The Gov ernment, however, was very cautious with the news, and made public but a very small portion of that received. The general impression in England is that the siege will be abandoned for the present, and the whole of Kaineisch and Balaklava left to the defence of a few corps, while the main portion of the-*Hies try to penetrate the inferior and cut off the supplies of Se vastopol. and than completely invest the town From the Crimea. — The position of the allies was regardul as critical. Although they had made great progress toward the city their bombardment had much slackened on tiie 28th. so as not to waste their ammu nition An immense Russian force was re ported to be concentrating near Sevastopol, said to be 100,000 strong Lord Ragland admits that the bombard meut of Sevastopol had not produced the re suit looked for. The list of disutilities to the allies was not heavy.

Lord John Russeli had re appeared in his scat in parliament and stated the substance of the uegociations at Vienna, intimating 1 that proctocols would be submitted to Par liament. Sir John Burgoyne, as a witness before the Roebuck committee, gave important evi dence in relation to the conduct of the war in the Crimea. The new loan bill of £16,000,000 sterling’ passed on the Ist in the House of Commons, and the same night was ordered to a com mittee in the House of Lords. The British budget for the war had passed Iwtli Houses of Parliament with but littlo • oppus’tioon. Throughout the country a strong feeling : against the ministry has been manifested by indignation meetings, regarding the conduct of the war, held at v arious places. A meet ing of the inhabitants of London was to be ; held, at which an Administrative Reform • Association was proposed to be organized.— i * Similar meetings were promoted by the j - principal men of all political parties and; “would be held at Liverpool and other towns, j The weather has been unusually’ dry and ! ‘odd with a hard frost on the 3d. Despatches per telegraph from the Crimea 1 report a sharp engagement on the night of the Ist of May. in a front and left attack which ended in the whole of the Russian ri fij pits being taken, together with eight light •tsnortars and two hundred prisoners. The “whole ufifair was a brilliant one of the al oLes. Sevastopol, May 4—On Wednesday •Slight, (2nd inst,) the French troops under “Tien.

Russia.— Appettvances at St. Petersburg denoted great activity, and an energetic con tinUance cf the war. The Czar devotes his whole time to military preparations. The peasantry of the Russian province of Ukraine had risen in insurrection. Turkey and Russia.— lt was rumored a separate treaty would be signed between Turkey and Russia, forming part of a Euro pean treaty of peace. The first division of the Austrian army had received marching orders.

All the women and children have been re moved from Sevastopol in anticipation of an assault. Every door and window bristles with cannon and musketry. The Mormon Bible. A COSVeHTKD INDIAN’S OPINION OF IT. During the Mormon excitement in Canada, as a converted Indian was passing through n white settlement on the Bay of Quinty. he I beard preaching in a school bowse, and as he was anxious to learn more about the good : works of the Great Spirit, he turned in aud | took his seat near the door. lie listened. ! but instead of hearing about the good old ■ Bible, the preacher was extolling another : book he called the Mormon Bible, which he j said was much better plainer tbrn the old ! one The preacher then entered into an ex planation as to the origin of this new book, and told how Jo Smith had dug it out of the ground, and was instructed to translate it, etc. When the preacher hnd finished bis discourse he gave pci mission to any one j present to offer their remarks either for or j against it. All sat still, and no white man i ° • was found to speak a word for the good old j IJ ble. The Indian at length rose up and said, ~May Indian speak.’’ The preacher re J plied. iYes, Indian may apeak.’ The Indian 1 tliex said, . A great many winters ago. the j Great. Spirit gave his Good Book (Bible) to j the white man over the g'eat wsi'ers; hat • . i took it and read it, and it made him all over ■ glad.— By and by, white man came over the great waters to this country, bringing the Good 13i ok with him; l e gi\e it to poor In dmn, he hear it and understand it, make Ins heart all over glad too But when the Great Spnii gave his Good Book to white man. the Evil Spirit (Muhjemunedoo) try to make one too. and he try to make it like the one that Groat Spirit had made, but could not ; and then lie got ashamed of it. he go into the woods, he dig a hole into the ground and there he hide his hook. After lying there many wUiteis. Jo Smith go and dig it up. This is the hook this preacher has beeu talking about. I hold fast ou the good old Bible, which has made my heart so glad I have nothing to do with the devil's book / VT."RESTING DiSCOVERY IN A Tl NNKL. —Mr. Butterfield, who is running a tunnel into Table Mountain, near Sonora, Califor nia, has given the editor of the Uriah! a description of a discovery made by his com pany last week in the course of their exea rations They have got their tunnel in a distance of 300 feet Here 11U feet from the surface of the ground, they found the trunk of a pine tree, 22 inches in diameter in a good state of preservation, and with its hark on. The sap appeared to bo iu a partial slate of putrefaction, an 1 the outside was j charred, giving unmistakable evidence of the j contact of lire at some period. Having cut I out the portion of the tree found in the tun- I nel, the company have commenced sinking a shaft for the purpose of reaching the roots of the tree. Their informant states that there is but little doubt that the formation this tree is a solid bed of lava, which at some remote period, flowed into its ’ present location, covering up trees, &c , | (as this discovery shows,) in its progress. The Jack Tars at Balaklava much dislike carrying up provisions to the camp on their back, which all are obliged to do ; and there is a very good story tohl of one who was o vertaken by a general officer on the road.— Jack was dressed in an old soldier’s red coat, and had a bag of biscuit upon his back, when the general rode up at a point of the road, where it was very narrow. The general called out, <* Soldier, allow me to pass you.” Jack-4. I am not a soldier.” General n Well, sailor.” Jack—4.l nm no a sailor ” General—44 Well then what arc you ?” Jack—44 Why, a commissariat mule.”— The general laughed heartily, and gave Jack half a crown. Loss or the Steamship Golden Agf.. — j We learu from the Aspinwall Courier of the j 3d inst., that the steamship John L. Steph- j ens had arrived at Panama, with the passen gers of the steamship Golden Ago, over 700 in number. It appears that the Golden Age on her passage from San Francisco, struck on a rock between Quibdo Island and the main land not far from Panama, on Sunday night, the 20th ult and was subsequently ran ashore. No lives were lost All her passengers were taken off by the John L. Stephens The steamship Panama had gone j from Panama to the assistance of the Golden | Ago There were hopes that she would be | got off. Gov. Reeder having denied, some of his I rash expressions in his late speech at Eng. ton, the New York Herald says it bolievee the report is correct, and that he did, in fact, say *. border ruffians,” The speaker, in such cases, is more likely to be mistaken than the reporter, the former getting excit ed, while the latter keeps himself cool. ■Produce is high enough everywhere, but in Nova Scotia nearly every article of the kind seoms to have reached famine prices On the 6th inst. flour wag selling ut Halifax at sixteen dollars a barrel.

HOLOWAY'S PILLS, certain Cure for Bil ious Complaints, and Disordered Stom j achs. —Another proof of their Efficacy.—-Copy of j a letter from James Trent, Esq., dated Skowhc ■ gan, January 29th, lS- r >4. To Dr. Holloway.— ’ Sir, —1 was for some years a sufferer with a bil j ious complaint, accompanied with indigestion I and a disordered stomach. In the hope of ob j tabling relief, I used a variety of medicines, but i fruitlessly.’ I was. however Induced to trv your ! Pills by a friend of mine who had derived great j benefit from them, and would say that they soon restored my appetite, and effected a com plete purification of the blood, I now enjoy the best of health. James Trent. IN THIS mammon-worshiping Age, it is rare to find a man place his usefulness to the public, before his interest. During a late visit to the “ City of.Spindles,” we were presented by 1 a professional friend, to the celebrated Chemist, Dr. J. C. Ayer, whose name is now perhaps, more familiar than any other, at the bedside of sickness, in th : s country. Knowing the unpre cedctit popularity of lus medicines, and the immense sale of them, we had expected to find 1 him a tnillionare, and rolling in wealth. But} no, we found him in his laboratory, busv, with j his laborers, among his crucibles, alembics, and j and retorts—giving his best personal care to j the compounds, on the virtues of which thou sands hang for health. We learned, that not withstanding his vast, business, and its prompt returns in cash, the Doctor is not rich. Trie reason assigned is, that the material is costly, atyl he persists in making has preparations so expensively, that the nett profit is small.— Affier- ; icon Farmer, Phil.

Heal the Sick-—Men of liberal education at the present day, devote all their talents to dis cover the means whereby they may remove these , painful maladies which assail the human frame. There is no nobler art than that of healing the sick, cousidering the numberless diseases to which man is liable, and which may cause him to dragout a protracted life ofdistress, or sud denly cut him off in the bloom of his existence and usefulness. Wc should gratefully seize up on cvor.v moans of counteract ing their drtNidliil effects, or causing a removal of those clogs to happiness. In those cases where the Liver or the Stomach is the cause, we would highly re commend Dr. lloofland’s German Bitters, pre pared by Dr. C. M. Jackson. No medieine at this time stands higher than these Bitters, and to those Wno are suffering from the horrors of Indigestion, we say they ure the antidote. A FACT WORTH KNOW ING.-It should be borne in mind that we have pursued a course entirely (1 ; Cerent from the usual mode, iu bringing our medicines to the notice of physi cians. The recipes, of Htable’s Anodyne Cher ry Expectorant and Diarrhoea Cordial have been made known confidentially, to upwards of five hundred medical men, every oue of whom re commend them as a highly ‘efficient remedy in all cases of Coughs, Colds Croup, Bronchitis, Asthma, and diseases ofthe Lungs and Throat generally. The Diarrhoea Cordial has also re ceived their unqualified praise as a remedy for diseases of the bowels, both iu children and adults; and the many cures that these “good medidinos” have effected, prove the physicians’ opinion well founded. They should be kept in every family, ready for instant use when occa sion may require. Bee descriptive pamphlets, to be had gratis of agents.

Son tag, Cathe rine Hayes, Alboni, and Mrs. E. G. Bust wick. If these should meet with favor, although ve ry expensive, they will be followed by others of a similar character, as they are determined that the Wreath and Annual shall continue to be not only the cheapest, but the best dollar mag azine in the world. The contents will be entirely original, from the pens of the ablest and purest writers in the country. Although a literary magazine, everv thing of an immoral or irreligious character will be carefully excluded. It will be the aim of the j Publishers to blend entertainment withinstruc j tion that will not only captivate the taste but also elevate the thoughts and improve the heart. Each number will contain a fine steel engrav ing and a beautifully colored flower plate, also engraved on steel, with occasionally popular pieces of music, and thirty-two large octavo pa ges, printed on fine paper.

Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine (Tory) The present critical state of European affairs will render these publications unusually interest ing during the year ’55. They will occupy a mid dle ground between the hastily written new.-e items, crude speculations and flying minors cf the daily Journal, and the ponderous Tome of the future historian, written after the living in terest, and excitement of the great political e vents of the time shall have passed away. It is to these Periodicals that people me.st look for the only really intelligible and reliable history of current events, and as such, in addition to their well established literary, scientific nird theological character, we urge them upon the consideration of the reading public. Arrangements are in progress for the receipt of early sheets from the British PwLlishers, by which we shall be able to place all <>or reqfl ints ill the hands of subscribers, about as soon a*s they can be furnished with the foreign copies. Although this will involve a very large outlay on our part, we shall continue to furnish the Pe riodicals at the same low rates as heretofore, viz: I’er Annum: For :iuy one of the four Reviews, $o CO For any two of the Reviews, ii Off For any three of the four Reviews, 7 00 For nil*four ofthe Reviews, 8 00 For Blackwood's Magazine 8 no For Block wood and three Reviews, 9 on For Blackwood and the four Reviews, 10 00 Payments to he made, in all cases, in advance.

Thus: Four copies of Blackwood, or of one Review, will Ik* s nt to one address for $9 ; four copies of the four Reviews and Blackwood for S3O : and so on. POSTABB.—In nil the principal cities and towns these works will be delivered, through agents, free of postage.
