Arrival of tlie Baltic. 
The Baltic arrived at New York, May 18. 
The seige of Sevastopol was progressing and 
the allies were apparently gaining ground. 
During the first week of the bombardment, 
the English alone fired about 2200 tons of shot 
and 600 tons of powder, so that the total con¬ 
sumption of the allies for the week amounted 
probably to 6000 tons of shot and 1500 tons of 
powder. 
The general impression in England appeared 
to be that the seige would be abandoned for 
the present, and that while Kaunesch and 
Balaklava are left to the defence of the few 
corps, the main portion of allied troops would 
try to penetrate into the interior and cut off 
supplies from Sevastopol and then completely 
invest the town. Numerous reinforcements 
are constantly reaching the allies. The French 
reserve of 80,000 men who are at Constantino¬ 
ple, it is expected will be sent to Balaklava.— 
The position of the allies was critical notwith¬ 
standing the advantage gained. 
An immense Russian force is reported to be 
concentrating near Sevastopol, and is said to 
be 100,000 strong. According to the statement 
of two Polish deserters, there are 100,000 
troops in the vicinity, 60,000 of whom have 
arrived already at the fortress. 
The following are the latest despatches from 
the seat of war : “A sharp engagement took 
place on the night of the 1st of May in front 
and left attack. The whole of the Russian 
rifle pits were taken—eight light mortars and 
two hundred prisoners. The whole affair was 
brilliant for the allies. It is reported to-day 
that on the 2d of May the besiegers took pos¬ 
session of very important Russian works of 
counter approach. After a fiery engagement, 
on the 3d, the Russians attempted to re-take 
the position which remained in the hands of 
the allies.” 
The telegraph between London and the Cri¬ 
mea was perfect except a small portion across 
the Danube. Despatches reached the British 
Government in a few hours, but were not gen¬ 
erally communicated to the public, although 
nightly, questions were asked in Parliament 
as to the news. Ministers declared that they 
should exercise due discretion in the publica¬ 
tion of the news. 
The British Baltic fleet had left Kiel and the 
French fleet were about to sail from Cherbourg. 
The insurrection in the Ukraine, Russia, had 
extended to 300 governments. At St. Peters¬ 
burg every article of consumption was at fam¬ 
ine prices. 
The Vienna negotiations are of course at an 
end. Lord John Russell has re-appeared in 
his seat in Parliament, and Druyn del Huys 
has returned to Paris. Lord Russell stated the 
substance of the negotiations, and that the 
Protocals would be submitted to Parliament. 
Great Britain.— The Loan Bill (£16,000,- 
000) was read a third time and passed on the 
night of the 1st by the Commons, and on the 
same night was ordered to be committed to the 
Lords. The Budget has passed both Houses 
with but little opposition and little modifica¬ 
tion. Throughout the country a strong feel¬ 
ing against the Ministry is being manifested. 
Indignation meetings regarding the conduct of 
the war have been held in various places and 
others are to follow. 
France.— The Emperor of the French had a 
narrow escape from assassination on the even¬ 
ing of the 28th ult., while on his way to join 
the Empress in their usual evening ride in the 
Champ de Elysees. He was fired at by an in¬ 
dividual who drew a double barrelled pistol, 
and, aiming point blank at the Emperor, dis¬ 
charged both barrels, but without effect. He 
was immediately seized by the police, but not 
until he had drawn another pistol and made 
another attempt to shoot. It is said that one 
of the balls grazed the Emperor’s hat. The 
would-be assassin is an Italian named Pierrozi, 
and was a volunteer in Goulalie’s army. He 
was in London while the Emperor was making 
his visit, and would have made the attempt 
there if he had not been prevented by the 
great concourse of people. 
Liverpool Markets.— The Messrs. Richards, 
Spence & Co., report as follows : In our last 
circular we advised a meterial advance in bread- 
stuffs. On Monday, advices from the States 
induced holflers to ask a still farther advance, 
and a good advance and a good business was 
done in Indian corn at 48sa49s. Flour was al¬ 
so in improved demand. 
At Mark Lane, the market was quite excited 
at advanced rates for all articles. 
Good Pluck. 
The mob which destroyed the press of the 
Parkvillc Luminarg publicly threatened to visit 
Lawrence and destroy the press and type of 
the Kansas Herald, of Freedom. G. W. Brown, 
the editor of that paper, having heard of the 
threats, welcomes the rioters to his sanctum 
in the following off-hand manner : 
‘ ‘ It was said by the rioters in Parkville last 
Saturday, that the destruction of the Lumina¬ 
ry office was designed as an example to others, 
and it was very knowingly hinted that ours 
will meet a similar fate. Very well; we have 
concluded to give any number of persons who 
wish to perpetrate such an act of folly, a free 
pass to ‘kingdom come,’ and we pledge them 
every assistance in our power. Probably many 
of them never took an upward journey and 
would like to try the experiment of sailimg on 
a blaze of glory, such as a couple of kegs of 
gunpowder exploded at an opportune occasion 
would furnish. We have not a member in our 
family, ourself included, who would not deem 
a transit into the future life compagnons du voy¬ 
age of a goodly number of printing press de¬ 
stroyers as a favor rarely to be met with.— 
Should the Herald of Freedom office at any 
time be invaded for the purpose of destruction, 
we give this timely warning to all, both friend 
and foe, that unless they wish to ‘ go up,’ they 
had better keep aloof from its immediate vi¬ 
cinity, for our purpose is fixed, and the conse¬ 
quences cannot be prevented. 
We have prepared a duplicate copy of our 
subscription books, and that subscribers may 
not be losers by any contingency which may 
arise, we hereby authorize and depute our es¬ 
teemed friend and general agent, H. A. Bil- 
ings, Esq , to resume the publication of the 
Herald of Freedom, should it be suspended by 
violence, at such points as he may designate, 
and we further donate to him our entire effects 
in Kansas, Pennsylvania or elsewhere, to pros¬ 
ecute the publication of such paper, with one 
condition, that he shall give the advocates of 
slavery particular ‘ Jesse’ during the balance 
of his life.” 
Statistics of Lard.— The Cincinnati Price 
Current has some interesting statistics on the 
lard produce of this country. The number of 
hogs killed last season, packed for commerce, 
is three millions. The average amount of 
lard per hog is thirty-two pounds. The total 
amount of lard in commerce is estimated at 
ninety-six millions pounds. Of this amount 
twenty millions are shipped from Cincinnati. 
England and Cuba take more lard of us than 
all the rest of the world. Each of these coun¬ 
tries buys over eight millions of pounds. In 
the West Indies lard is very generally used as 
a substitute for butter. Lard oil is made more 
extensively at Cincinnati than at any other 
point of the Union. Thirty thousand barrels 
of it are annually sent from that city. The 
demand for lard over the world is on the in¬ 
crease, and prices will probably be sustained.

Rural New-Yorker Office, ' 
May 23, 1855. f 
Ir is not often that a week passed with so few changes 
in every department of the market as that since our last 
report. We have put beef fifty cents per hundred higher, 
butter two cents per pound lower and in good supply, 
and salt a quarter of a dollar a barrel wholesale under 
former figures. These alterations cover all the varia¬ 
tions. 
Hay is plenty, and appearances indicate a declension 
in prices, but no changes are made. 
Nothing is being done here in anticipation of the in¬ 
coming wool crop, but from present appearances, prices 
will rulo low, at least in the outset, if not for the season. 
Matters in this department cannot be much worse at all 
events, than they have been for the past year, and there 
is a very wide margin for improvement. We annex the 
quotations in Boston and New York : 
Boston Wool Market.— May 16—Fleece and pulled 
wool sells about as fast as received. Fine fleece scarce 
American Saxony FI. per lb., 46®50c. ; Am. full blood

New York Wool Market. — May 18. — Prices tend 
slightly upward, but there is little doing to test or raov 
them. Sales of 27,000 lbs. at 35j. for low and medium

Arrival of the Northern Light. 
The steamship Northern Light arrived at 
New York May 16. She brings California 
dates to the 24th April, 361 passengers, and 
$273,000 in treasure. Owing to the general 
distrust in the banking houses, the passengers 
have a large amount of specie in their own 
hands. 
Purser Hatch reports that in the interior of 
Nicaragua there had been no further fighting. 
The Government party had retreated from 
Leon, finding the army of Munas too strong 
for them, and were fortifying Grenada. This 
statement conflicts with our New Orleans dis¬ 
patch, reporting a revolution. 
The Nicaragua expedition under Col. Walk¬ 
er was to have left San Francisco about the 
time the steamer sailed. It consisted of from 
76 to 100 men. The brig Vesta had been 
chartered to convey them down as emigrants. 
Manzarillo, the new Mexican port, is hence¬ 
forth to be the coaling depot, &c., of the Nic¬ 
aragua steamers in their passagers to and from 
San Francisco. 
The recently discovered gold mines at Sand 
Hill, Yuba Co., were reported to be yielding 
on an average $50 per day each man. 
It is stated that planting of wheat and oth¬ 
er cereal grains in the agricultural districts of 
the State had been much larger than any pre¬ 
vious year, and this too with'California flour 
selling at $6 per barrel. 
Outside efforts to get up another trial to 
elect a U. S. Senator were still quite vigorous, 
but the chances were very slim. 
The markets closed extremely dull, and 
prices had a downward tendency. Flour clos¬

Avalanche in the Pyrenees—Sixty Persons 
Killed.— The inhabitants of Carejan, in the 
Pyrenees on the Spanish side of the frontier, 
seeing some weeks ago that an avalanche of 
snow was about to fall, assembled in houses 
which they thought the least exposed to dan¬ 
ger. Unfortunately the snow came down on 
those very houses, leaving almost untouched 
several others which had been abandoned. By 
the fall fourteen houses and forty-four barns 
were completely destroyed. Seventy-two per 
sons were buried in the ruins, and sixty of 
them were killed on the spot. The remaining 
twelve, though got out alive, were so dread¬ 
fully injured that some of them died soon after, 
and others were considered in a desperate state. 
The loss of cattle was very considerable.

Kings and People.— It is stated that the re¬ 
ligious sentiments of some of the European 
monarchs and their people are as follows : 
The King of Belgium is a Protestant, though 
his subjects are mostly Catholics. The King 
of Saxony is a Catholic, though the greater 
part of his subjects are Protestants. The King 
of Greece is a Catholic, though the greater 
part of his subjects are of the Greek Church. 
Of the 15,500,000 European subjects of the 
Sultan of Turkey, 11,370,000 are of the Greek 
Church, aud 260,000 are Catholics, while only 
8,800,000 are Mahomedans. 
Twenty-Four Hours on a Wreck.— Two ves¬ 
sels came in contact off Cp.pe Cod on the 9th 
inst., and the lesser of the two was disabled 
and abandoned. Two daughters of the Cap¬ 
tain of the latter, however, were left behind 
ou the wreck, not having time to get off be¬ 
fore the high wind carried the damaged vessel 
out to sea. They were not rescued from their 
forlorn and perilous position until they had 
remained exposed to the horrors of their situa¬ 
tion 24 hours, when the wreck was reached by 
a life boat’s crew and the young women taken 
off. 
Bao News from the Sault.— Under this head, 
the Detroit Advertiser mentions the arrival of 
the steamer Northener, from the Sault, with 
the intelligence that the water was let into the 
canal a few days ago, when owing to the frosts 
not yet being out of the ground, or from oth¬ 
er cause, the embankments gave way, making 
a bad breach, which will probably take four 
weeks to repair, and it is doubtful whether 
boats will be able to pass in less than six weeks. 
Foreign Bishops in the United States.—A 
correspondent, in answer to an inquiry in the 
New York Express, a d ly or two since, as to 
how many of the Bishops recently sitting in the 
Provincial Council at Baltimore, weye foreign¬ 
ers, says there was not one American among them. ’ ’

In Ogden, Monroo Co., N. Y., April 9th, 1855, of ca¬ 
tarrhal consumption, Mrs. ALMIRA, wife of Joseph 
French, aged 55 years. 
Mrs. F. for many years has been a member of the 
Baptist Church, and was an ornament to her profession. 
She has left a husband, a largo family of children, and 
an extended circle of friends to mourn their loss.

It gives us pleasure to state that Mr. Davy has solicited 
Mr. S. Howard, of the Boston Cultivator, to collect pedi¬

and has authorized Mr. H. to obtain information as to 
any and all mistakes which may have been made as to 
the recording of American animals in Davy’s 2d Vol., 
and such corrections will be made in the 3d Vol. The 
plan proposed is that a copy of all the pedigrees and il¬ 
lustrations collected by Mr. Howard, as the Editor in 
America, shall bo forwarded to Mr. Davy, and a copy of 
these collected by M'. Davy will be sent to Mr. Howard. 
The whole matter will be published in America for our 
use. and also in England for their use, by which moans 
an American and English Devon Herd Book will be uni¬ 
ted, and the price reasonable, as the expense of English 
printing aud duties will be saved. This concert of action 
as been brought about by Mr. Davy’s good feeling and 
liberality towards this country, and I am only the in¬ 
strument through which Mr. Davy acts, and from this 
time forth Mr. Howard will receivo all communications 
on the subject, as will appear by reference to his adver¬ 
tisement.

USE THE MAGIC IMPRESSION PAPER, 
For writing without Pen or Ink, Copying Leaves, Plants, 
Flowers, Pictures, Patterns for Embroidery, Marking 
Linen Indelibly, and Manifold Writing. 
This article is absolutely the best portable Inkstand in 
the known world, for a small quantity folded and placed 
in the pocket constitutes a traveling Inkstand which can¬ 
not be broken. No pen is needed, for any stick sharpen¬ 
ed to a point, writes equally as well as the best gold pen 
in the universe. For drawing, it is indispensable. It is 
indeed, the whole art of Drawing and Painting—taught in 
one LESSON. Any leaf, plant or flower, can be transferred 
to the pages of an album, with a minute and distinct re¬ 
semblance of nature. With equal facility, pictures and 
embroidery patterns are taken, and have received the 
highest eulogiums from the fair sex ; and, indeed, a more 
tasteful present for a lady could not be produced. 
This magic paper will also mark Linen, or other articles, 
so as to remain perfectly indelible. All the washing in 
the world fails to bring it out. Any child can use it with 
perfect ease. With this magic paper, likewise, one or 
four copies of every letter written can be secured with¬ 
out any additional labor whatever, making it the cheap¬ 
est and most convenient article extant. It is used to 
great advantage by reporters of the public press, tele¬ 
graphic operators, and hosts of others. 
Each package contains four different colors—Black 
Blue, Green and Red—with full and printed Instructions’ 
for all to use, and will last sufficiently long to obtain Five 
Hundred distinct Impressions. 
It is put up in beautifully enameled colored envelopes, 
with a truthful likeness of the Proprietor attached. Each 
and every package warranted. Price $2 a dozen or five 
for $1. Single package 25 cents.
