Arrival of tke America and St. Louis. 
Tii* steamer America arrived at Halifax 
Dec. 5th, and the St. Louis at New York Dec. 
6th. The latter vessel sailed from Havre via 
Southampton, and brings news from London 
down to the 21st ult. The America has three 
days’ later dates than the St. Louis. 
The main feature of the news is a report 
that Gen. Canrobert had concluded a treaty of 
alliance between Sweden and the Western 
Powers, to take active effect both by sea and 
land in the Spring. The rumor, however, is 
believed to be premature. Peace rumors were 
quite abundant, and among others it was as¬ 
serted that the Czar had given his assent to 
Russia informing the Western Powers that he 
is willing to treat for peace. All the reports, 
however, lack confirmation, and are regarded 
as doubtful. 
In active hostilities nothing had occurred 
since the last advices, either in the Crimea, 
Southern Russia or Asia. It is stated that 
the Allies have determined upon a grand 
bombardment of the Russian position on the 
north side of Sebastopol. 
Three magazines belonging to the French 
artillery had blown up near Inkerman, kill¬ 
ing 70 soldiers and 10 officers, and wounding 
100 soldiers and 10 officers. The magazines 
contained 30,000 kilogrammes of powder, 600 
cartridges, and 300 charged shells, all of 
which were destroyed. 
A large quantity of Russian grain had been 
destroyed on the Gheiskeiram coast, which 
was effected by an allied flotilla, sent for the 
purpose. The grain was intended for the 
Crimean army, and was packed in tierces 
which extended two miles along the coast. 
The Czar has dismissed Prince Menschikoff 
as chief of the staff, and appointed Gen. Al- 
denburg in his stead. 
Advices from Kars state that Gen. Mousa- 
vieff, overcome by his defeat before Kars, had 
become insane, and Gen. Burbusoff had been 
summoned to assume his command. 
The bark Isabella, from Smyrna for Boston, 
was wrecked near Cape Spartel about Nov. 9. 
The master and crew are at Tangier. 
A terrific fire had occurred at Paris in the 
Government bakery. 25,000 quintals of corn 
and an equal quantity of flour and biscuits 
were burned. 
Liverpool Markets.— la Breadstuffs a lim¬ 
ited business has been transacted, and prices 
have undergone a slight decline, say to the 
extent of about 2d on wheat and 6d each on 
flour and corn. In provisions no chango of 
moment has occurred. The market closes 
steady. 
The Yellow Fever. 
The Richmond Dispatch says there are some 
curious facts connected with the progress of 
the late terrible visitation to Norfolk and 
Portsmouth, which seem to confirm the theo¬ 
ry of Dr. Nott, that this fever is traveling 
from South to North. 
It commenced in Rio Janeiro, reached New 
Orleans in 1853, where its ravages were terri¬ 
ble. Iu 1854 it scourged Savannah. It reach¬ 
ed Portsmouth in 1855. In all previous visi¬ 
tations of yellow fever, Norfolk was first at¬ 
tacked, and from thence the disease was 
transmitted to Portsmouth. But this year 
the disease started in Portsmouth, which lies 
south of Norfolk, and its whole march from 
the beginning was northward. Its progress 
through the whole period ,vas always greater 
in a north and north-eastern direction than 
west and north- west. Thus it crossed the wa¬ 
ter to Norfolk, a mile distant from Ports¬ 
mouth, in a few days after its appearance in 
Portsmouth, whilst it did not reach the U. S. 
Naval Hospital, which lies nearly west of 
Norfolk and north-west of Portsmouth, for 
two months. When it did appear there, there 
were very few cases, and those generally man¬ 
ageable. Old Point is in the due north line 
of its track, and it will be remembered that 
at a late period of the season there were one 
or two cases there. 
Prairif, Fires —Every night for some three 
weeks past, except immediately after rain, the 
horizon in every direction has been all aglow 
from the burning grass on the prairies. So 
brilliant have been these displays of fireworks 
as not unfrequently to reflect quite a strong 
light upon our streets, enabling the pedes¬ 
trian to make his way safely and pleasantly 
without other light, even in very cloudy 
nights with no moon. These fires may be 
seen, in a cloudy night, a distance of twenty 
and thirty miles aeros3 the prairies, lighting 
up the heavens, half way to the zenith, with 
the most gorgeous colors, and as changeable 
almost as those or the kaleidescope. The 
smoky weather which we call Indian summer 
is doubtless the result of these fires, and, if 
there is any truth in the Espy theory, the 
rains which havo followed each spell of very 
smoky weather may also be attributed to the 
extensive prairie burnings.— Bioomington{Iowa)

Speakership of the House of Representa¬ 
tives. —As several States are claiming the 
right to the Speakership through their re¬ 
spective party organs, it may he interesting 
to see what State has and what have not been 
represented through choice of a Speaker. 
Connecticut has had one speaker, Jonathan 
Trumbull, for one term; Georgia, Howell 
Cobb, one term ; Indiana, John W. Davis, 
one term ; Kentucky has bad three speakers 
for nine terms ; viz , Henry Clay six terms, 
John White one term, Lynn Boyd two terms; 
Massachusetts three, Theodore Sedwick one 
term, Joseph B. Varnum two terms, Robert 
C. Winthropone term ; New Jersey, Jonathan 
Dayton, two terms ; New York, John W. 
Taylor, two terms ; North Carolina, Langdon 
Cheever, one term ; Tennessee, John Bell one 
term, James K. Polk two terms ; and Virginia 
has had four, Philip T. Barbour one term, 
Andrew Stevenson four, R. M. T. Hunter and 
John W. Jones one term each. Of these 
States, Kentucky has furnished the greatest 
number—throe Speakers for nine terms. 
Wicked Elopement.— The Chicago Demo¬ 
crat of Tuesday week says that a woman ar¬ 
rived in that place a few days previous, with 
the dead body of her husband, which she was 
taking east for burial. On the route she fell 
in with a young man, and, on the arrival of 
the cars at Chicago, they went off together, 
leaving the dead body of the husband in the 
depot, where it has remained since.

Kerb off tub Platform.—T he comparative 
danger of standing on the platforms of rail¬ 
road cars is forcibly shown by the report of 
the State Engineer and Surveyor of New 
York, by which it appears that over twelve 
million passengers were carried over their 
main railroads during the last year. Out of 
this immense number twelve were killed, and 
of these eleven were standing on tho platform.

Dec. 12, 1856. ' f 
The market for wheat and flour remains unchanged. 
We hear of the sale of a small lot of white Canadian 
wheat at $2,20, and another at $2,15. Oats and corn 
have slightly declined. Buckwheat is quoted six cents 
higher. 
Poultry is more plenty and prices a little easier.— 
Other slight changes have occurred, as will be noticed 
by reference to our table of prices current.

WHALING AND FISHING. 
(IN PRESS.) 
1 Vol. 16mo. 75 cts. 
Each book is complete in itself, while the series 
embody all the varied phases of Life on the Ocean, i 
rated with the vigor incident to the pen of a re 
writer, who voluntarily exiled himself from homo 
sought out these path# of personal adventure and s 
ring action ; one who became a sailor to satisfy a 1( 
ing not uncommon among active-minded and rest 
youth. 
His books fill a space hitherto unoccupied. They 
sent a p’ain, unvarnished tale of the every-day-life 
sailor, in fair weather and foul, calm and storm, at 
and in port ; showing us now the trim Blue Jack 
the Navy, then the tarry, toilsome Merchant Sailor, 
again the sturdy Whaleman. Practical and matte 
fact in their views, they are just such volumes as 
rents may safely put into the hands of their child 
to enable them to form proper ideas of a phase of 
heretofore enveloped in a veil of romance aud mysL 
The romance of reality is here vividly portrayed by 
hand of an actual participant.
