Arrival of the Arago and Asia. 
Thb Arago arrived at New York Nov. G, and 
the Asia at Halifax on the 7th, with European 
news up to the 27th of October. 
Thb War. —English correspondence, to Oc¬ 
tober 12, supposes that the Russians from the 
north side of Sebastopol were failing back by 
detachments on Perekop. There was, howev¬ 
er, no diminution of the fire from the forts 
and batteries on the north side of the harbor. 
Taeir fire during the last four days had been 
very active, and was chiefly directed against 
the Malakoff and the French quarters in the 
western part of the Routh side. 
A Russian despatch of the 22d, via Berlin, 
says the allies, forty thousand strorig, had 
marched from Eupatoria towards Toulat; but 
on the 23d, perceiving the Russian Lancers on 
their leftflank, they retired behind htkatschi. 
The announcement that the Russians had 
blowa up Fort Nicholas and their other works 
atOiChakoff, is confirmed. Nothing has oc¬ 
cupied between Kmburn and Nikolaielf. 
M-jor Delatield, Major Murdoch, jr., and 
Cap am McLdlan, American officers, had ar¬ 
rived in the camp. A British general order 
provides them with rations during their stay 
in the Crimea. Miss Nightingale had return¬ 
ed to Sebastopol. 
The land strength of tho Allies in the Cri¬ 
mea, inc uding the sick, is officially reported 
at 210,DUG men. 
The Baltic. —The weather was bad, and 
the English liset near N rgen wa3 pteparing 
to leave. The gunboats at Elsinore had been 
ordered to England. The coasting trade was 
again springing up since the removal of tne 
fleet. 
Miscellaneous.— The latest dispatch from 
St. Pctersburgh, dated Oct. 26, says:—The 
whole of the militia has been ordered on the 
march, to reinforce the army of the South 
under Gen. Lulers. Two liners, sixteen frig¬ 
ates, and some gunboats, have entered tne 
Uneiper. The Emperor Alexander had left 
Nikolaieff for Eiizabogood, 136 miles north¬ 
ward. The usual story is revived that his 
reason is affected. 
There is nothing more definite as to the re¬ 
signation or recall of Gen. Simpson. The 
London Post says that a new commander is 
appointed, but doe3 not give his name. Ru¬ 
mor mentions Sir JDeLacy Evans, Coaringtoc, 
Markham, Colin Campbell, and others. 
Osman Pacha, who had been taken at Sino¬ 
pe, had been exchanged. 
A St. Petersburgh letter of the 15th says 
the allied successes had caused deepondency, 
yet everything indicates the intention of 
Russia to continue tne war. Preparations 
were making for a fourteentn levy and enrol¬ 
ment of tne local militia. Prayers were offer¬ 
ed for tne Emperor’s safe return from the 
Crimea. The attitude or S waden was regarded 
in St. PeteTsburgh with increasing suspicion. 
An important discussion had been neld in 
the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce on the 
present British monetary crisis. Resolutions 
were adopted that although there is no cause 
for immediate alarm, the government should 
anticipate and prevent any breakdown oi 
public confi fence by suspending the operation 
of the Bank act of 1844, as during the crisis 
of 1847. The London Times opposes this ex¬ 
pedient. 
The city of London had presented an ad¬ 
dress to tne Queen upon the glorious successes 
of the allied army, to which the Queen made 
a suitable reply, promising a vigorous contin¬ 
uance of the war. 
Liveupool Markets. —Richardson^ Spence 
& Co’s Circular of Oct. 23 says: 
Since Friday, a quiet trade in wheat and 
flour, with considerable animation in Indian 
Corn. To-day’s market was only moderately 
attended. Wneat and flour were held at Fri¬ 
day’s rates. Indian corn was yesterdoy in 
active request. Quotations are:—Wheat, red, 
11s 6dal2s. White, 12s 3dal2s 9d. Fiour 
43sa44s. Indian corn, mixed, 44s. 
Provisions very quiet, witnoutchange. 
The Rothschilds.— An article is going the 
rounds of the press stating that the whole 
concern of the Rothschilds is worth $700,000,- 
000 in money capital, besidts $300,060,000 in 
real estate, mines, &a. So far from this being 
the fact, we understand that the general esti¬ 
mate in Europe as to the aggregate wealth of 
the whole concern is 200,000,000 francs, or 
about $40,000,000. Th j idea is purely absurd 
th?.t their wealth should amount to’such an 
enormous sum as $1,000,000,000, equal at six 
per cent, to au annual income of sixty millions of 
dollars —a sum which, in comparatively a few 
years, accumulating in a compound ratio, and 
doubling it every twelve years, would concen¬ 
trate in their hands a large portion of the 
wealth and property of all Europe— National 
Intelligencer. 
Fair of the American Institute —So suc¬ 
cessful has the Fair of the American Institute, 
held in the New York C ystal Palace, been 
thus far, that the managers have concluded 
to keep the exhibition open till the middle of 
November; and they proposs buying the 
building and making it a perm meat place for 
holding the annual Fairs and for developing 
the new improvements in art, industry and 
invention. The visitors have averaged'5,000 
per day, and on Thursday 15,000 were present. 
Negotiations are now going on for the pur¬ 
chase of the Palace for $210,000. 
Cheap Government. —Vermont appears to 
be a model State in regard to the manage¬ 
ment of its finances. The total disburse¬ 
ments of the State revenue for the year end¬ 
ing the 31 of Aug. last, were only $153,127 
—or twenty-seven times le3s than the actual 
expenses of tie government of the city of 
New York, which has considerably less thm 
twice the population of Vermont—and there 
was a balance of money in the Treasurer’s 
hands at the end of the year amounting to 
$16,700._ 
Daniel Wsbstbr’s Estate. —Tae executors 
of the estate of Daniel Webster report that 
the nett amount of assets in their hands is 
$35 180 89, and the amount of claims is about 
$155,0 ;0. Taey divide twenty-one and three- 
q iattcTB per cent, among creditors, retaining 
in hau l about one per cent, to defray expenses 
and charges in the suit against the city of 
New Orleans for a cl im of $25,COO lor counsel 
fees in the Gaines controversy. 
Foreign and Native Criminals —The Phil¬ 
adelphia lime3 says: — “The statistics of 
crime in Philadelphia, for the last five months, 
show the following result: The whole num¬ 
ber of arrests du ing this period is 15 696.— 
Of these 10 512 are foreigners, and 8,312 are 
Irish. The foreign population is considerably 
less than one-fifth that of the native born ; 
yet of the whole number of arrests, more 
than two-thirds are foreigners. 
Apples for England. —We noticed in the 
freight house of the Concord road, the other 
day, one hundred and twelve barrels of apD'es 
mu ked for Manchester, England. We und -r- 
stand that a gentleman of this city, an En¬ 
glishman, trades in fruit quite largely, and 
sends to Liverpool every year several hundred 
barrels of New Hampshire apples.— Manchester 
American. 
Horse Food at Toronto.— The Globe say- 
food for horses is very high in Toronto, and 
both hay and oats are brought from Chicago 
by the Colliagwood route. Chicago bay in i 
pressed bales cost $17 per ton at lor nto—less 
than any rther in market. Oats 50 to 56Jeents. ' 
Gbo. M. Baker, of Ithaca, and Amanda M. 
Bugbeb, of Montpelier, Yt., mutes, weremar- 
ried recently in Albany ; whereupon the Ar¬ 
gus says they appeared very happy, although 
they “ never told their love.” 
Born in Prison. —The Concord (N. H.) Re¬ 
porter says that on the night of the 21st ult., 
a woman named Brown, confined in the jail 
in that city, under sentence of death for par¬ 
ticipating in a murder, gave birth to a boy.

Arrival of the Northern Light. 
The Accessory Transit Company’s Steamer 
Northern Light, arrived on Sunday morning 
from San Juan del Norte via Key West. She 
brings the passengers of the steamer Sierra 
Nevada, who left San Francisco at 5 o’clock 
P. II. on the 20th of October. The passen¬ 
gers are all in good health —not a case of 
sitkness having occurred during the whole 
voyage. Everything was quiet on the Isth¬ 
mus, and the passengers crossed in good time 
and perfect safety. Col. Walker, leading the 
party in Nicaragua, had concluded a treaty of 
peace with the Chamoro party. Dan Patircio 
Rivas was appoimed Provisional President 
(Col. Walker refusing.) and sworn into office 
on the the 31st of October, in the presence of 
a large assembly of the people of Granada.— 
Col. Walker was appointed general and com¬ 
mander-in-chief of the forces of Nicaragua. 
The news from California is unimportant. 
Times there growing better. The mail steam¬ 
er Golden Age left San Francisco three hours 
in advanca of the Sierra Nevada with about 
two millions in gold. 
Troubles with the Indians in Oregon still 
continue, and assume a serious aspect. Maj. 
Haller and his forces were reported as sur¬ 
rounded by the Indians at a point twenty-five 
miles above the Dallas. They had been with¬ 
out food or water forty-eight hours. Lieut. 
Day, wiih one hundred and fifty men, left to 
assist him. 
Hymenial —On the 1st inst., a ceremony 
took place at'the house of Jessie Chapman, 
Esq., of Waterford, Oakland Co., Michigan. 
His four sons, of ages between 20 and 30, and* 
living in different parts of the Suite, all made 
their appearance at the paternal mansion with 
a lady accompaniment, and were followed by 
a clergyman who went to work and joined the 
whole in the bonds of matrimony, beginning 
at the eldest and leaving off at the least of 
age. After a friendly chat with the “old 
folks at home,l’ the boys and girls started off 
on their wedding tour. 
Thanksgiving.— About twenty of the States 
have Thanksgiving day appointed for them 
by their Governors. Most are on the 29th 
inst., some on the 22d, and a few “scattering.”

There is scarcely a change worth mentioning in tho 
markets this week, except that the best grade of flour 
is a little stiffer, leaving inferior qual.ties the same ; 
and that pork is fifty cents a hundred higher than pre¬

“ Mr. Jackson ha 3 distinguished himself in col'eze

familiar with French and German, and is equally well 
versed in the exact sciences and n the ane'ent classics. 
As a teacher ho would exhibit qualities and attainments 
rarely m t with in a grauu.te of his ye-.rs. He has al¬ 
ready had much exDerience ! n teaching, and with a 
large measure of success. With my knowledge of his 
quick perception of what is beautiful in art anti true iu

MODERN PILGRIMS: 
Showing the Improvements in Travel, and the 
Newest Methods of Reaching the 
Celestial City. 
By GEORGE WOOD, 
Author of ‘ Peter ScUemihl in America.” 
In two vols. 12mo. Price $1 75. 
The idea of this work was suggested to the au'hor by 
the inimitable “Celestial Raiuoad ” of Hawthorne. 
But in the application of the idea to the religious socie 
ties of modern times, the author is indebted to no ore 
It is a continuous story of ihe Pilgrimage of some culti 
vated and pious y disposed peop e. in which they visit 
in turn various cities, castles and hotels, repre entirg 
the eading religious denominations. But no descr p- 
tion can «o the work justice. It is full of trenchant 
satire ui.on life, manners, and opinions ; and at the 
same time it has much of pathos which cannot but 
awaken sympathy. 
This work will make a sensation in the religious 
world. It is proper to add, that the author takas the 
same standpoint w th honest John Bunyan.
