itce. 
Arrival of the Atlantic. 
The Steamer Atlantic arrived at New York 
Jan. 27. 
The Asia arrived out at 6 o’clock on morning 
of Monday, 9th insts 
On December 30th, part of the allied fleets 
entered the Black Sea; they were prevented en¬ 
tering sooner by the tempests. 
Up to the last dates, the Russian Ambassadors 
had not withdrawn from London or Paris. 
M. Ivizeff, the Russian Minister at Paris, is 
reported to have said that he would await fur¬ 
ther instructions from the government. 
Prom Vienna it is stated, seeming authentically, 
that Austria had asked Russia if she would con¬ 
sent to a European Protectorate over the Christ¬ 
ians in Turkey. To this the Czar replied that 
he would consent to no interference whatever 
between himself and Turkey. 
On the Danube but little was doing, owing to 
the weather. There had been three slight af¬ 
frays ; one between a forage escort and some 
Cossacks; another, a sally from Sistowa, and 
the third, an action between a steamer, two gun 
boats and the shore batteries of the Danube.— 
In all three the Turks were successful. 
From Asia we have letter writers’ accounts of 
previous affrays, but not one word of later news. 
The Russians had warned their shipping not 
to venture out of the ports, unless untler protec¬ 
tion of a convoy. Convoys are to be organized 
for different trading ports. 
The Pacha of Egypt on hearing of the Sino¬ 
pe disaster, immediately ordered the equipment 
of six frigates, two corvettes and three brigs to 
replace those destroyed. It is confirmed that 
the Wallacliian peasantry are in insurrection. 
sumed negotiations with Persia, the Persians in 
Teheran having broken out in tumult against the 
Russians. 
France has called out an additional contingent 
army of 80,000 men to replace 70,000 destined 
for Turkey. 
Prussia is constructing a course of action with 
Denmark and Sweden, in view of the coming 
war. 
The Marquis Turgot has been appointed grand 
officer of the Legion of Honor, supposed on ac¬ 
count of Soule wounding him. 
Young Soule has published a long letter, ex¬ 
plaining his difficulty with the Duke ef Alba. 
The overland Indian mail has arrived with 
Calcutta dates of Dec. 6. 
It was said that the Burmese had re-captured 
Pegu. 
The Russians were repulsed at Kherah. 
Trade in India was fair. 
Shanghai, Nov. 19.—Insurgents had evacua¬ 
ted Amoy, and the Imperialists perpetrated a 
horrible massacre there. 
Canton was quiet. 
THE LATEST. 
The sailors of the Russian Baltic fleet, who 
were on leave, are summoned to return to ser¬ 
vice by March. 
A letter from Christiania states that Norway 
has decided on fitting out a squadron of 12 ships 
in view of approaching events. 
But little sympathy for Russia exists among 
the N orwegians. 
ENGLAND. 
The enormous rise in the price of food has 
caused apprehensions in England of riots among 
the laboring classes. 
Bread riots hud already commenced in parts 
of Devonshire. At Topsham, mobs of women 
bad threatened the bakers inconsequence of the 
latter raising the price of bread. 
At Crediton, also, bands of men, women and 
children had paraded the streets and attacked 
some of the bakers’ shops, demolishing the doors 
and windows, and doing other damage. The 
market people were also molested, and their 
produce kicked about the streets. 
The police were unable to put down the dis¬ 
turbance, and it was not until the report was 
spread that soldiers were coming, that they were 
quieted. 
The steamer Sarah Sands, from Portland, ar¬ 
rived in the Mersey on t he evening of the 10th. 
The steamer Charity was to sail on the lGth 
for Portland. 
Dates from Liberia of the 13th Dec., had been 
received in England. The coast was healthy. 
President Roberts had delivered a satisfactory 
message to the Legislature. He informed them 
of the alliance of France and England with Li¬ 
beria, and that Napoleon had sent a present of 
1,000 stand of arms and accoutrements for native 
militia. 
The receipts of the republic were $35,000 ; 
expenditures, $32,000. 
At Lagos affairs continued unsettled. Kosco 
with 10,000 men, was in the rear of the town, 
threatening hostilities.

Arrival of the Ohio. 
The Ohio, from Aspinwall, arrived at New 
York, Jan. 30th, with the California mails of the 
1st inst—300 passengers, and nearly $1,000,000 
in gold. 
Later from Australia.— Advices from Sid¬ 
ney to Nov. 2d are received. A monster peti¬ 
tion has been sent to the Governor for the Queen, 
against the new Constitution, to which lie had 
given a decisive answer. 
The gold regulations are highly satisfactory 
to the diggers generally. The general report 
from the mines is unfavorable, but there are a 
lew exceptions. Labor still continues in de¬ 
mand in the agricultural districts. The rush to 
the mines causes a complete drain. 
The Sidney Empire of October 27th, says that 
the general temper of business in Sidney con¬ 
tinues firm and is likely to be sustained, owing 
to a comparative cessation in arrivals 
The steamer United States arrived at New 
Orleans, Jan. 25th, from Aspinwall with the 
mails, passengers and specie left, at Aspinwall 
by the steamer Ohio for New York. 
The Congress of New Granada had levied a 
duty of 10 per cent, on the estimated profits of 
vessels arriving at and departing from Aspin¬ 
wall. 
The sloop of war Cyane was at Aspinwall, 
and was about to leave for Carthagena, to con¬ 
vey the engineers who are to explore the route 
of the Oceanic Canal across the isthmus of Da¬ 
rien. 
It was reported that a revolution had occur¬ 
red in Bolivia. 
Dates from the city of Mexico have been re¬ 
ceived here. There was much excitement at 
Chihuahua in consequence of the new treaty of 
the United States. 
The leading men say they will annex them¬ 
selves to the U. S. rather than submit to the 
provisions of the treaty.

Tim steamship Washington took out §157,000, and the 
Europa about $200,000 more. The Ohio, from Aspinwall, 
arrived at New York, Jan. 29th, with a million in gold on

was duly recorded in the Register’s office. 
Wednesday, January 25, was the coldest 
day of the season in Boston. At sunrise the

for $10,000, to provide for his family athis death. 
The newly appointed Bishop of Monte¬ 
rey, Mexico, was waylaid and robbed while on

to respect liis cloth ; he was treated with as lit¬ 
tle respect as a layman. He had the satisfac¬ 
tion of excommunicating the rascals, however.

Rochester, Feb. 1, 1854. j 
Flour and Wheat are both higher than at last quota¬ 
tions, as also several other of the leading staples; but there 
are indications of a slight reaction in the price of bread- 
stuffs. Flour is quoted at $9,63@9,75, and Wheat at §2,06 
It sold yesterday, in the street, at $2,09, hut the former is 
the price to-day, and is high enough at that, at least far 
consumers, many of whom begin to repeat with some earn¬ 
estness, “give us this day our daily bread.” 
Pork is a quarter of a dollar higher, and is selling from 
§6 to $6,25. Beef, also, is higher, being quoted at $4,50® 
5.50.

PHILADELPHIA CATTLE MARKET-Jan. 23. 
Beef Cattle—There were offered during the past week 
about 1,750 head of Beef Cattle, of which near 500 were 
driven north. Prices range from $7@7,50 per 100 lbs., with 
a moderate demand. 
Cows range from $12 to $36 each. 
Hogs are arriving slowly—about 120 head sold at $6©6,- 
37,’j, which is a slight decline. About 1.000 head were ta¬ 
ken for packing. Prices of killed hogs are steady. 
Sheep and Lambs come in slowlv, and command $2@6 
each, according to quality. The supply is inadequate to 
the demand. 
The Reason Why.—O f late some of our agents and sub¬ 
scribers complain, because we do not mail all the papers at 
offices where we have clubs in one package. If they knew 
how desirous we are to mail all together, and how earn¬ 
estly we labor for that object, we should have less com¬ 
plaint. The truth is, it has been impossible for us to get 
all the names received during each week, on our books in 
time for mailing—and hence we have been obliged to mail 
from books so fur as the names were entered, and the re¬ 
cent orders from letters. This is owing, in part, to the fact 
that two of our best clerks were ill and absent for some

den, Cook county, Illinois. J 
“ The trees were well packed, and came to hand in fine 
order.”—South Bend, Indiana.

m good condition, and opened well. I must say they were 
evidently taken up and packed with much more than or¬ 
dinary care.”—Delaware, Ohio. 
“And now about the trees. If you iiad trimmed them 
[a novel complaint,] they would have been the finest lot of 
trees I have ever seen from your State. I never saw finer 
T —* rom Springfield, Ohio. [The trees here spoken 
of, let it he remembered, were sent out from the Syracuse 
N ursenes as their second class trees.]

the way] were in good order, and letter trees than I have 
ever seen west of the Lakes.”—Roscoe, Ill.
