Arrival of the Baltic. 
C The steamship Baltic, from Liverpool July 
$ 28th, arrived at New York Aug. 8th. On her 
^ outward passage, when off Holyhead, at half- 
? past 10 o’clock on the night of Saturday the 
C 21st, during a thick fog, ran down the schr. 
( S i ah Ann, from Bangor to Bristol. All on 
C t. ard were picked up by the BUtic. The 
^ schooner was found afloat and taken into port. 
£ It was currently reported that Gen. Simpson 
C had given in his resignation, and only retain- 
> ed command until the appointment of his 
l successor. The French steadily push forward 
€ their approaches toward the Malakoff, which 
C the Russians are further fortifying. The 
| forces in the field remain as at last advices.— 
^ Preparations continue for a campaign on the 
| Danube and for a maritime expedition — des- 
£ tination secret. 
{ Operations in the Sea of Azof and the Baltic 
| have been unimportant. The Russians in 
| Asia are encamped near Kars, but have not 
£ invested the city. 
5 An insurrection of Arabs in Tripoli was 
} overpowered by the forces of the Bey, and 
? threatened trouble to the Porte. The Bashi 
r Bazouks at Constantinople had had an out- 
l break of rapine and murder, 
f The position of diplomacy remains un- 
: changed, Prussia defending her neutral posi¬ 
tion and Austria making more open advances 
\ towards Russia, causing disquietude, 
s The British Ministry, after their narrow 
\ escape on the Turkey guarantee bill, will now 
most probably be able to retain their places. 
Parliament will be prorogued on or about the 
16th inst. 
Fkom tiie Crimea, July 11.—Gortschakoff 
telegraphs “that the enemy has renewed a 
rigorous cannonade.” Yesterday, Admiral 
Nachimoff received a severe wound, and has 
since died. Until further orders, Admiral 
Panpiloff is appointed successor of the deceas¬ 
ed commander of the naval garrison of Sebas¬ 
topol. 
The Times correspondent writes : 
July 13.—Last night the Russians kept up 
a tremendous fire. The battery which the 
French constructed between the Mamelon and 
the Malakoff, has been knocked to pieces by : 
the powerful fire of the latter fort. A Colonel 
and 30 officers and men were put hors de com¬ 
bat, and the siege works have received a 
check. 
July 16.—Gortschakoff announces having 1 
made two sorties on the 14th and 15th, which 
were satisfactory. i 
July 26.—Gen. Simpson telegraphs that i 
cholera has not increased since our last re- \ 
port, and the general health of the army con¬ 
tinues satisfactory. Gen. Pelissier telegraphs 1 
after a brisk cannonade, the Russians made a < 
sortie about midnight on the left of the little I 
Redan. The Russians were promptly received * 
and repulsed, leaving some wounded and nine 1 
dead. The darkness enabled them to carry < 
off the others. Gen. Canrobert was on duty 1 
in the trenches. t 
It is rumored in Paris that the preparations c 
of the Black Sea squadron are not for an at- t 
tack on Odessa, but for to make a bold dash 
at the harbor of Sebastopol, with one hundred 
ships and 60,000 men, while a simultaneous f 
attack is made from the land. 
The Baltic Fleet. — Admiral Baynes re- i; 
mains with the bulk of the fleet off Cronstadt, 8 
while all the gun boats and mortar vessels, I 
forming a squadron of 50 sail, are at Nargen. e 
Admirals Dundas and Seymour, and the d 
French Admirals, had a consultation at Nar- fi 
gen. p 
A boat belonging to the British ship Ajax, G 
captured a launch containing the Russian 1 
mails. All the letters addressed to official b 
persons were written in cypher. \ 
Francs. —Letters from Paris anticipate that c. 
the application of the new French loan of 750 
millions of francs, will reach two billion five 
hundred million francs. The Emperor has , 
gone to the Pyrenees to escort the Empress to A 
Paris. , c< 
Five hundred Russian prisoners have sailed n 
from Toulon to be exchanged at Odessa. 
The Corn Market— Notwithstanding the p 
unsettled character of the weather throughout ^ 
the country, does not affect the market.— ir 
With limited demand, prices of wheat and C( 
flour remain the same as on last Friday.— e ,

Canadian Items. 
■ The port of Whitby exported last year $315,- 
932 worth of wheat, mostly to Rochester and 
Oswego. 
Tne Quebec Mercury states that an order ha 3 
been issued to the Public Departments, to pre¬ 
pare for a removal to Toronto on the 15th of 
October. 
. Several of the inhabitants of Markham have 
died of hydrophobia, from bites of dogs. A 
farmer in King township has been under the 
necessity of killing nine cattle that had been 
bitten. 
Mons. de Belveze, the French Commission¬ 
er, is on a visit to Canada, to arrange for a 
treaty, for the admission of silks free of duty, 
and Canadian products to go into France on 
the same footing. 
The money, under the clergy reserve act, 
has been paid over by the government to the 
parties entitled to receive it Some of the 
Rectors will receive from $10,000 to $20,000. 
So much for Church and State. 
The county of Perth, C. W., has subscribed 
$120,000 to finish the Buffalo Railway to Strat¬ 
ford, and the town of Stratford $100,000 more. 
This is deemed sufficient to have the road do¬ 
ing business to the county town, this year. 
The wheat crop of Upper Canada, is estimat¬ 
ed at 20,000,000. Lower Canada, for the first 
time on record, will have a surplus. Ihe 
amount of ground under cultivation, is fully a 
third more than that cropped in 1854, and the 
present appearance of the crops beyond com¬ 
parison. 
The last Toronto Examiner contains a 
lengthy circular, from an association recently 
I formed in Toronto, “ for the immediate disso¬ 
lution of the political union between the Can¬ 
adas.” The “ Committee of the Central 
Society” proposes publishing a daily paper in 
which their views will be advocated. 
Population of Canada.- The new census of 
the Province of Upper and Lower Canada, 1 
shows a large increase in population since 
1851. At that time the population of Upper ! 
Canada was 925,000, that of Lower Canada 
890,261—or in round numbers 60,000 less than ! 
the numbers of the Upper Province. The 
population of Upper Canada i3 now in round 
numbers 1,332,000; the Lower Province has 1 
1,050,000; total, 2,382,000. 
Good for a Governor. —A young man 
named Sargent was recently drowned in the 
Merrimack at Concord, N. H. The editor of 
the Laconia Democrat says : “We happened to 
be in Concord when the word came to the 
street of the drowning ; and upon arriving at 
the bank of the river, we found Ex-Governor 
Baker in the water, very industriously diving 
and searching after the lost man.” 
Sad Accident.— As the express train on the 
Boston Railroad was passing the depot at Chat¬ 
ham, New York, August 13th, a Mr. Tafft, of 
Charlestown, S. C , and a person named Break¬ 
er, of Albany, were sitting with their arms 
out of the car window, and a current of air 
raised by the passage of the train blew open 
the side door of a freight car standing at the 
depot, breaking the left arm of Mr. Tafft be¬ 
tween the shoulder and elbow. 
It is rumored that five men, on Saturday 
last, got into a skiff, at Suspension Bridge, but 
owing to some mismanagement, were carried 
down stream into the whirlpool, and were all 
drowned. Names unknown.

The tendency of the market is downward in a large 
number of farm products, l’rime Genesee wheat (old 
crop) is worth $2,15; for new the market is unsettled, 
and the few sales made vary as to quality, of which 
there is a much larger range this year than usual.— 
Small lots of damaged have been sold in our streets at 
$1,25 to $1,50, and fair for $2. Mr. Burt, has made a 
further sale of 20,000 bushels of prime white Southern 
Illinois wheat at $1,70 deliverable in October. Th ! s 
grain from having been harvested in capital order, as 
well as being of line quality, seems to be a favorite grain 
with the millers. 
Corn and oats are both on the decline, the former be¬ 
ing worth ninety cents, and the latter (new) fifty cents. 
Apples and potatoes bring each three to four shillings 
a bushel. 
Beef is also lower, the butcher paying $4,50 to $5 50 
per hundred. Smoked meats are half a cent better.

A Jewish Wedding.— The Syracuse Organ 
describes the ceremonies of a Jewish wedding 
which recently took place in that city : 
“The bride, richly attired in white, closely 
veiled, with her friends, advanced from one 
side of the house, while at the same time the 
groom, with his friends, came from the other. 
The priest commenced singing alone, with his 
back to the parties. Wine was then present¬ 
ed to the groom and bride, and again the 
priest sang with several little boys dressed for 
the occasion—then an exhortation or address, 
and more drinking of wine. Here the bride 
commenced crying, which was soon followed 
by the groom—a ring was given, and they 
were declared married. Both kissed, both 
cried, and both retired to their former posi¬ 
tion, and the ceremony was concluded.” 
The Franking Privilege.— We were quite 
forcibly struck yesterday morning in passing 
the Post Office with the beauties of the frank¬ 
ing privilege, and could not repress a smile of 
satisfaction at the enterprise of certain of our 
Representatives at Washington, as we beheld 
eight immense bags of mail matter lying at the 
door, weighing about twelve hundred pounds, all 
labeled “ Free—Henry S. Geyer.” It was 
privately stated to us that the balance of Mr. 
Geyer’s shipment, consisting of a pair of 
French bedsteads, with bedding to match, hud just 
been taken inside the Post-Office door.— 
Whether these latter came by letter or not, we 
cannot say.— St. Louis Dem. 
Scientific Convention. — “ The American 
Association for the advancement of science,” 
convened in the city of Providence on Wed¬ 
nesday, the 15th inst. The objects of the As¬ 
sociation are “to promote intercourse between 
those who are cultivating science in different 
parts of the United States ; to give a stronger 
and more general impulse and a more syste¬ 
matic direction to scientific research in our 
country ; and to procure for the labors of sci¬ 
entific men increased facilities and a wider 
usefulness. ’ ’ The association numbers over a 
thousand members, and the present is the 
ninth annual meeting.

Ravenous Fish.—T he mate of the English 
bark Wreath, while the vessel was lying at 
Panama, says the Herald of that city, attempt¬ 
ed to get on the vessel during the night, in a 
state of intoxication, and, loosing his hold, 
fell overboard. Attempts were made to save 
him but ineffectually ; and the next morning 
he was dragged for without success. On the 
following day, a hook, baited with a piece of 
pork, was thrown overboard from the steam¬ 
ship Jamaica ; soon after dark, a shark took 
the bait, was hauled on board, and when cut 
open, much to the astonishment of all, in the 
monster s stomach was found half a pig, to¬ 
gether with Gie right arm of the missing man, 
with parts of the shirt sleeve still remaining, 
by which it was easily identified to be that of 
the mate. 
Level of the Two Oceans. —The Panama 
Star says : It has been lately decided by Col. 
Totten, after a series of careful tidal observa¬ 
tions taken here, and in Aspinwal, (Navy 
Bay,) and connected by accurate levels along 
the line of railroad, that the mean height of 
the two oceans is exactly the same, although, 
owing to the difference of the rise of tide° of 
both places, there are of course times when 
one of the oceans is higher or lower than the 
other, but their mean level, that is to say, their 
height at half tide is now proven to be ex¬ 
actly the same. 
In the town of Bolivia, the difference be¬ 
tween the two oceans was stated to be 8-52 
feet—the Pacific, at Panama, being that much 
higher than the Atlantic, at Chagres. 
The Census of Chicago has just been taken. 
The present population is 87,600; last Novem¬ 
ber it was 60,140 ; increase in seven months, 
27,000. Ihe number of new buildings erected 
during the year is 2,000, many of them of the 
first class. There are now 138 vessels belong¬ 
ing to that port. 
Population of Wisconsin. —The Milwaukee 
Sentinel expresses a belief, that the population 
of Wisconsin will prove from the semi-decen¬ 
nial census to be 550,000. Wisconsin in 1840 
contained 30,000, and in 1850 had increased to 
304,756. Milwaukee and Watertown are the 
two largest cities in the State—the former 
numbering over 30,000, and the latter 8,512. 
In 1850 Watertown contained 1934 inhabi¬ 
tants ; and in 1847 the writer recollects to 
have amused himself, while promenading the 
main street after dark, in picking his way 
through the stumps and drunken Indians scat¬ 
tered promiscuously on the “ side walk.” 
A Canada Heroine. —The Buffalo Express of 
a late date tells the following story : “A lady 
came to this city from Fort Erie, a day or two 
since, armed with a cowhide, which she ap¬ 
plied to the shoulders of the Steward of the
