Arrival of the Baltic. 
Tiie steamship Baltic arrived at New York 
Dec. 15th, with one week’s later advices from 
Europe. 
The chief feature of the news relates to the 
variety of rumors in reference to the prospect 
of peace. One of them is that Russia directly 
requested Prussia to make conciliatory offers 
to the Westers Powers. Prussia is said to 
have adopted this mission, and Austria assents 
—hut the most definite form of the rumor is, 
that propositions have been submitted to Na¬ 
poleon on behalf of Russia, which can be hon¬ 
orably accepted, viz : That Russia will con¬ 
clude peace with the Western Powers, without 
intervention of either Austria or Prussia, 
according to them the guaranteed indepen¬ 
dence of the Danube, Principalities and the 
freedom of the Black Sea. Both parties to 
continue preparations for war, but no active 
hostilities to be entered upon up to an agreed 
date. All this is possibly premature, but 
hopes are strong that peace may arise. 
The London Morning Advertiser says of the 
Russian propositions, that they are dishonor¬ 
able, delusive and unsafe. They fall short of 
what the Western Powers have a right to de¬ 
mand, and of what will satisfy the expecta¬ 
tions of the country. 
The Baltic.— A great many coasting ves¬ 
sels with valuable cargoes are waiting in 
Mechlinburgh and other Prussian ports, ready 
to start to Russian ports the moment it is fa¬ 
vorable, but are now detained by fear of ice. 
The weather on the G ulf of Finland to Nov. 
26, had been mild for the season, but in the 
Gulf of Bothnia, it had been sharp. 
Another division of the British fleet had left 
for England. 
The Hamburgh News states that the Rus¬ 
sians are re-organizing the Baltic fleet, with 
the intention of putting to sea in the spring. 
Several of the commanders are replaced by 
younger men, and the command of the fleet 
and military governorship of Cronstadt is to 
be given to Admiral Nowosillsky. 
The American ship Robert Paton, Capt. 
Kelly, which had excited suspicion by remain¬ 
ing at anchor at Sandham, arrived at Stock¬ 
holm, Nov. 15, where her cargo, instead of 
revolvers, was found to consist only of cotton 
and dye woods. 
The White Sea.— The American ship Tele¬ 
graph, with a full cargo of linseed, flax and 
hemp, had sailed from Archangel for Amster¬ 
dam . The White Cloud, with a similar cargo, 
was detained by ice, and would probably have 
to remain all winter. 
' The Crimea.— A despatch from Marseilles, 
states that on the 15tli, the Russian batteries 
on the north of Sebastopol, commenced firing 
red hot shot, to which the allies replied. 
The force of the allies at Kertch and Yeni- 
kale had been augmented by reinforcements 
to forty-five thousand men. 
England.— The excitement respecting the 
American affairs had almost ceased. 
Admiralty contracts for the navy provisions 
have been taken at much lower rates than ex¬ 
pected, the average price of beef being £7 Is. 
per tierce, and of pork £9. American pork 
trades were to the extent of 10,000 packages, 
accepted at £8 to £8 10s. per tierce. 
The King of Sardinia left Paris for Calais on 
Tuesday evening. He was to embark for 
England in the Queen’s yacht. 
Liverpool Markets.— Breadstuff’s quiet 
flour is lower ; corn Is. lower ; wheat 2d. 
lower. Provisions quiet. Iron steady. Su¬ 
gar very dull at 8s. decline. 
War Materials. — The American barque 
Amelia was taken possession of by the U. S. 
Consul at Port au Prince, on her arrival there, 
as a suspicious vessel, she having on board 
about $100,000 worth of cannon, rifles, revol¬ 
vers, sabres, clothing, and other munitions of 
war. The Captain testified that this warlike 
cargo was taken on board at Williamsburg, 
Brooklyn, and St. Joseph’s, Florida. The 
first part was received in December, 1854, and 
the last in May, from the barque Magnolia, 
which was seized by the Government officers 
at a Florida port. 
Novel Suit. —Mr. John W. Bloomer, of 
Baltimore, Md., recently brought suit against 
the Baltimore Gas Company, for damages sus¬ 
tained in consequence of the refusal of that 
corporation to supply his place of business 
with gas, the ground of refusal being that the 
previous occupant had failed to pay for gas 
furnished by the Company. The Justice ren¬ 
dered judgment in faror of the plaintiff for 
$50, with costs. The Company have taken 
an appeal from the decision. 
Boston Philanthropy. —A rich coffee dealer 
from San Domingo was denied a cup of coffee 
at an eating house in Boston on Saturday, for 
the reason that it was against the rules of the 
house to furnish anything for colored persons. 
He insisted on being served, and the attend¬ 
ants finally sent for a police officer to remove 
him. The coffee dealer said he had been in 
Russia, France and England, in neither of 
which countries had he been treated so rudely 
on account of the oolor of his his skin. 
A Genius. —An enterprising scamp has been 
fleecing the express offices in Nashua and 
Lowell after this wise. He presents a box of 
stencil plates for marking clothes, directed to 
some imaginary individual, with a bill which 
he asks the express to pay. Unless they sus¬ 
pect something wrong, they pay it, and wait 
for the article to be called for. And when 
they find that it isn’t called for at all, they 
begin to suspect that they are taken in anil 
done for. 
. The Chbrokees.— The Cherokees, by a re¬ 
cent act of their Legislature, will admit a 
white man to the rights of citizenship among 
them upon his application to one of the clerks 
of their district courts for a license to marry, 
and his taking an oath of allegiance to sup¬ 
port the constitution and laws of the Chero¬ 
kee nation, and not to seek legal redress out 
of the nation. 
Recruiting in Russia.— A letter from St. 
Petersburg says :—“ The new recruitment has 
thrown the country into great terror. It is 
doubted if 400,000 men capable of service can 
be found. Tho towns and districts furnishing 
the recruits will be obliged to provide them 
with fur cloaks, which is a heavy burden, 
owing to the present high prices of furs. ’*’ 
Arrival of the Empire City. 
Tuxsteamship Empire City, from Aepinwall, 1 
with the California mails and treasure, ar- 1 
rived off Sandy Hook on Saturday morning, < 
Dec. 13, and camo to anchor about six miles i 
from the Hook in the midst of a dense fog.— 1 
The Empire City has the California mails and ; 
one million seven hundred and fifty thousand ( 
in gold dust, the South Pacific mails, and ’ 
about 509 passengers. She has later news 
from the South Pacific, but no later accounts \ 
from California. < 
Nothing important from the Isthmus.— 
Dates at Panama are from Valparaiso, Oct. 1 
21, Sierra, Nov. 10, Paito, Nov 15. Business 
at Valparaiso improving. . Flour $11£ to $13, 
with a full stock. 
r The ship Simoea and hark Milford from New 
Y< rk, and ship Lawrence from Boston, also 
three new Peruvian steamers from England, 
were in port. It is reported that Arequipo 
and some of the Southern cities, had declared 
in favor of General Vivanco. 
The revolutionary movement in Bolivia, 
under Avilo, had been put down. 
Cool for Canada.—W e have seen a letter 
from an American in Paris, which accounts 
for the figure cut by Canada in the Great 
French Exposition. The writer says—“On 
looking carefully over the Canadian articles, 
I detected American axes, edge-tools, cut 
nails (and these have excited much inquiry 
here), the Fairbanks scales (!), several pat- ; 
terns of Yankee plows, and other agricultu¬ 
ral implements. Their whole space was a de¬ 
pot of stolen goods. In every case where 
they made their articles, and departed from 
the English models, they strictly copied the 
American .’’—Albany Eve. Jour. 
Disagreed.—T he jury in the case of Baker, 
who was tried last week in New York for the 
murder of Bill Poole, disagreed upon the ver¬ 
dict, and were discharged. They stood, it is 
reported nine for murder with a recommenda¬ 
tion to mercy, and three for manslaughter in 
the second degree. He will therefore have to 
be tried again. 
Reliable Credentials of the Rural. 
Tire Rural New-Yorker is a paper, the fame of wliichis 
without a blot. Characteristically Agricultural, it is in the 
broadest sense a Family Paper, one which may be admitted 
without doubts as to its tendency It has an immense 
circulation, and merits patronage wider still. Its readers 
are like Oliver, always asking for—M oore.— N. Y. Recorder. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker commences a new year 
with a new and beautiful dress, and, as ever, rich in its 
address. It is full of variety, original and select. No pa¬ 
per on our list of exchanges comes so near our ideas of 
perfection, for a secular family paper, as tho Rural. It 
has always maintained a high moral standard.— N. Y. 
Observer. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker has become a giant among 
its kind. With a subscription verging fast to 30,000, and 
with a conductor who knows how to polish it with every 
grace of the art, and how to accomplish it with the best 
talent of the age — it is not surprising that it is now the 
leading agricultural paper of the country —Christain Adv. 
The Rural New-Yorker is said to be the most success¬ 
ful agricultural weekly paper published in this country. 
It hails from the Genesee Valley—the agricultural cradle 
of the Empire State—and of course gives the spirit of her 
people, who are acknowledged to be the most thrifty and 
ntelligent class of farmers in the States.— IKotcr Cure Jour. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker is one of the very best Ag- 
ricultural and Family Newspapers in the world. Its me¬ 
chanical execution, its illustrations, and the arrangement 
of its contents are complete. Tho character of its editori¬ 
als, communications, etc., is of the highest order.— Louis¬ 
ville Journal. 
Its leading feature, perhaps, is Agriculture ; but in the 
departments of tho Arts, tho Sciences, Education, History, 
Literature and the Daily News, it is most ably and admira¬ 
bly sustained — is an honor to the newspaper fyniily, as 
well as to its editor and proprietor.— Mich. Chris.'Herald. 
We have so frequently commended the Rural New- 
Yorker that an attempt to add thereto would be like 
“ lending perfume to the rose.” In our opinion it Is the 
hast Agricultural, Literary, and Family paper extent.— 
Pennsylvania Herald. 
Tire Rural New-Yorkkr we can recommend conscien¬ 
tiously, as pure, good, interesting, and useful—ealculated 
to make every family into which it is introduced, both 
wiser and better.— Arthur’s Home Gazette. 
The Rusal Nhw-Yorker is decidedly the best Agricultu¬ 
ral paper in tho United States, in each and all of its depart¬ 
ments, and well merits tho eminent success which has 
attended its enterprising Proprietor .—Boston Olive Branch. 
Independent of its being the very best Agricultural 
paper that has ever como under our notice, its Literary 
merits are unsurpassed. It is certainly the best and most 
useful paper of the kind we have ever seen .—Pa Whig.

A DxeiBiD dowaward tendency has bean experienced 
in many articles of leading importance in the market; 
and, where no change has been made in quotations, it 
is owing in several instances to an absence of transac¬ 
tions. The news from abroad by the last two or three 
arrivals, together with the temporary stagnation of 
business consequent upon the close of navigation, have 
had their depressing influences. Whether this down¬ 
ward toudency is to remain permanent, or whether the 
next arrival will reanimate the market, is of course im¬ 
possible to tell. No decline calamitous to sellers, is, 
how^jer, at all probable. 
Tho wheat and flour market has for several days past 
been going down in New York, although here, owing to 
an absence of transactions, no change is noted. 
The price of beef remains unchanged, hut pork is 
quoted a dollar lower. We saw yesterday in the cen¬ 
tral market, two excellent dressed hogs bought for 
$7,50. Poultry is a little better, and in demand. 
Hay has been received in large supply, and pi ices 
have declined. Much poor hay is offered, and many of 
the buyers taking second quality, operates against high 
prices for the best. 
Other slight alterations have been made, a3 will be 
seen by reference to the table.
