Iftterarj) 
Twenty Years in the Philliphines. Translated from 
the French of Paw. Of. J.a Gironierk. New York : 
Harpers.—1854. 
An interesting and romantic narrative by an 
adventurous French Physician, who «saw the 
Elephant” in many positions during a sojourn 
of twenty years among the barbarous natives of 
the Philippine islands—inhabited by Indians, 
Chinese, Spaniards, Creoles, <&c. The author 
gives in a simple, unaffected style, many inter¬ 
esting incidents, and much information concern¬ 
ing a region and people about which little is 
known. The volume is well and profusely il¬ 
lustrated. For sale by D arrow <fc Bn,

Julienne: The Daughter of the Hamlet. By Hugh De 
Nokmand. Rochester: Wanzkr, Beardsley & Go.— 
1854. 
Seen is the title of an excellent story repro¬ 
duced from'a French romance. A friend who 
has perused the volume, assures us that it will 
bear warm commendation. The character of 
the heroine is pure, simple and religious—such 
as is too rarely delineated. The work presents 
a fine external appearance, and is quite credita¬ 
ble to its enterprising publishers. 
Armenia: — A Year at Erzeroom, and on the Frontiers of 
Russia, Turkey and Persia. By Robert Curzon. New 
York: Harpers. 
Tins is a volume of rare interest, descriptive 
of what the intelligent author saw and learned 
in a country which he aptly terms “ the cradle 
of the human family.” It is in elegant style, 
with a map and several illustrations. Daruow

Calavar; or the Knight of the Conquest. A Romance of 
Mexico. By Robert M. Bird. New York: Redeikld: 
1854. 
An apparently readable volume, and certainly 
presented in fine style. A reliable contempora¬ 
ry remarks of this work that w there has never 
been a novel written, relating to the truly ro¬ 
mantic period of American history—the age of 
the Spanish conquests—^so admirable as this* 
from the pen of the late lamented Dr. Biro.”

Arrival of the Canada.. 
The steamship Canada arrived at Halifax 
June 21st. Her news is of an interesting cha¬ 
racter, but has been superseded by despatches 
received by the Atlantic four days later. Prep¬ 
arations were making to push the War vigorous¬ 
ly on all sides, and important movements are 
going on in the vicinity of Silistria. This im¬ 
portant Turkish fortress, on the south side of the 
Danube, is closely invested by a Russian force 
numbering 80,000 men, and several assaults 
have been made upon it without success. The 
besieging; forces,commanded by the Grand Duke 
Constantino in person, are struggling to capture 
the fortress before relief arrives from the allied 
forces encamped at Varna. There had been 
considerable lighting elsewhere. The Governor 
of Widdin writes th-at on 31st of May, a severe 
affair occurred at Slatina, when the Turks de¬ 
feated 2,000 Russians, killed 500, and captured 
their artillery. Other encounters, more or less 
sanguinary, are reported.

Arrival of the Atlantic. 
The IJ. S. mail steamship Atlantic, with four 
days’ later news from Europe, arrived at New 
Pork June 25. 
It is reported that on the 8th the Turks in 
Silistria made a sally and destroyed the ap¬ 
proaches of the besiegers, and filled up the 
mines before Silistria. The confidence of the 
Russians was visibly declining. They are said 
to have suffered serious loss on the springing of 
a Turkish counter mine. 
Russian reports say that Massa Pasha, com¬ 
mander of Silistria, has been killed by a can¬ 
non shot. The Turks were to make a move¬ 
ment to relieve Silistria about the 18th. The 
Russians are fortifying Jassa 
I lie Chronicle correspondent telegraphs a re- 
poit horn the Baltic, that some English vessels 
off JSrabstadt, in Finland, demanded the gun¬ 
boats building there. They were refused^en¬ 
trance into the harbor. They then took or de¬ 
stroyed the gun-boats, and a large number of 
merchant shij s, and fired the wharf. Ten thou- 
sand barrels ot tar, and property to the amount 
ot JUO.OOO silver rubies, were destroyed.

Arrival of the United States. 
The steamship United States arrived at New 
Orleans June 21,bringing intelligence from San 
rrancisco to the 1st itist., 15 days later. The

the shortest on record. 
i lie Isthmus Railroad had been so far com¬ 
pleted that the trip across was made iu 6 hours. 
Good health prevailed along the entire route.

steel, Esq., by Silas Richardson, Esq., Mr. TUNIS BttIZKE 
ot Pittsford, Monroe Co., to Miss LUCINDA WOODARD* 
of the former place. ' ’ 
BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
The imports and exports of the precidus metals about 
balanced each other during the past week. The two Isthmus 
steamers bringing in about a million, and the Cunard and 
Collins steamers taking out $878,000. 
The first million of the State loan for enlarging and fin 
ishing tltte Canals has been taken at a premium of from 
seventeen to twenty per cent. It was bidden off by bankers 
and brokers who have U. S. stocks deposited in the bank 
department, as a basis for banking purposes, and is designed 
to take the place of the latter. As the United States Trea¬ 
surer oilers 21 per cent, premium for the redemption of 
the public debt, this change of securities gives the opera¬ 
tors a handsome profit. 
There is a prospect of an early disbursement of $7,000,000 
of the coin accumulated in the Treasury, as the President 
has communicated to Congress the acceptance of the treaty 
by Santa Anna. The message asks for an appropriation 
of the above sum to be paid down, and the other three mil¬ 
lions is to rest until the new line is run between the two 
countries. 
Railroad stocks are unusually depressed, N. Y. Central 
has been down to 94, and Erie to 61. The strike on the 
latter road, probably depresses the stock. 
P. S—Since the above was in type, the telegraph an¬ 
nounces the arrival of the steamer Prometheus, bringing 
between 500 and 600 passengers, and a million and a half 
in treasure from California.

Breadstuffs show a further depression both at home 
and abroad. Foreign advices indicate the prospect of good 
crops in Europe, and a consequent absence of speculation 
and activity in the market; and at home buyers are un¬ 
willing to assume the risk of large purchases under pres¬ 
ent contingencies. Prime Genesee wheat will not bring, in 
our market, over two dollars per bushel, and flour is sell¬ 
ing to the trade at ten dollars, to ten twenty-five. Corn 
seventy cents, and Oats forty-eight to fifty. 
Hay is better, and sales quick at $16 for first quality.—

THE DATE LEAVES; 
A Historical Game of Forfeits, by C. A. Bloss Prin¬ 
cipal of Clover Street Seminary, Rochester, N. Y.- 
Author of Bloss’ Ancient History; Heroines of tlie 
Crusades, kc. 
Ooer Four Thousand Packs Sold in the First Ten Days. 
The Date Leaves foim a system of Social Games, intend¬ 
ed for Parlor Amusements, Educational Incentives or reg¬ 
ular School Instruction. 
It is believed that they possess all the social qualities of 
Gaming Cards, without that tendency to dissipation which 
makes card-playing so dangerous to young people. They 
pbice the company in pleasant sets, face to face; thev in¬ 
spire mirth, and furnish subjects for conversation; and 
these subjects are such as excite inquiry and provoke re¬ 
search, .and give systematic arrangement to the items of 
information which float uselessly in the memory. 
No person can become acquainted with these Cards with¬ 
out gaining more historical information than he could by 
a year's reading, according to any method now be'ore the 
public, and the readiest way to become acquainted with 
the Cards, is to play the games according to the directions 
which accompany the Cards. Price 50 cents. Published
