UK I.AMAitf ink, HUthor of “ History of the Girondists,” 
etc., etc. I'wo volumes. New York ; Harper & Bron. 
Vkry readable volumes are these, from the 
pen of the poet, novelist ami historian, Lamar¬ 
tine. Whatever may be said of their accuracy 
in the facts ol biography, we must allow that the 
strangely grouped subjects are attractively 
treated. Nelson, Heloise, Columbus, Bernard 
de Uallissy, Roostam, Cicero, Socrates, Jacquard, 
Joan of Arc, Cromwell, Homer, Guttenburg, and 
Fenelon, are the personages brought before the 
reader, each occupying from forty to one hun¬ 
dred pages. Sold by Daurow <fc Bro., Main St- 
Easy Warren, and his Coteraporares. Sketched from 
Home Circles. By Wm. Turner Coggesiiall. New 
York: Redlield, publisher. 
We like these sketches, and, indeed, have 
copied several of them in past volumes from the 
magazines in which they originally appeared. 
Most of them are brief and pointed tales, em¬ 
bracing a moral worth heeding, and the volume 
is one which will have a good influence upon its 
readers. Sold at Harrow’s. 
Rural Paper in Maine.— We ob erve by the 
last “ Gospel Banner,” that Rev. W. A. Drew, 
for some years the able editor of that paper, has 
retired therefrom, and proposes to publish at 
Augusta, Maine, a weekly paper entitled 
“ Drew’s Rural Intelligencer.” The paper will 
be a weekly, in quarto form, after the design of 
the Rural New-Yorker, its columns devoted 
to Agriculture, Horticulture and Floriculture, 
as well as subjects Domestic, Social, Literary, 
<tc.—designing to make a weekly visitor for the 
farm and the family circle. It will be furnish¬ 
ed at .>§1,50 per year in advance. Mr. Drew is 
a veteran editor, a ready and entertaining writer, 
sound oil the subjects on which it is proposed to 
treat, and will make for New England a model 
paper. He has our best wishes for his success. 
Jforcign Jnttlligmt. 
Arrival of the Union and Earopa. 
Tub steamer Union from Havre on the 27th 
tilt., arrived at New York, and the Europa from 
Liverpool the 30th, arrived at Halifax, both on 
the llili instant. 
The Siege of Sebastopol. —It is confirmed 
that on the 13th Sept. Euphatura was occupied 
without oppposition by 2,000 Turks, 1,001 
I French and 1,000 English troops. The Rus¬ 
sian garrison, numbering 400, surrendered ai 
discretion. The advanced guard was undei 
command of Prince Napoleon. On the 14ih 
the mam army landed unopposed, half-way be¬ 
tween Euphaioria and Sebastopol, horses, aitd- 
lery and munitions all salely. The Russians 
retired in good order as the allies landed.— 
Meiinchikotr, who had his head - quarters ai 
Simferopol, immediately advanced to Bui-stuck, 
on the river Alma, where he awaits reinforce¬ 
ments, to give battle to the allies. 
It was confidently stated on the Paris Bourse 
that mi the 19th the allies and Russians met 
and a battle ensued. The French came first in¬ 
to action—the English soon came up, and tin 
Russians retired with much loss. It true, tins 
occurring on the 19th, could only have been 
skirmishing, not a bailie between the main ar¬ 
mies. 'fhe Russian Embassy at Vienna had 
received a dispatch dated the 22d, from tin 
Crimea, but all that had transpired was, that it 
contained news unfavojable lo the Russians. 
A Russian courier who had been captured, 
staled that the whole Russian force was onl\ 
4b,01)0. 
Russian accounts of the 19th, say that Gene¬ 
ral Oanrobert had a fortified position at Eupha- 
tona, and that tiie mam body of the allies was 
on a small river north of a parallel with the riv¬ 
er Alma. 30,000 Russians were posted at the 
latter point, but with insufficient artillery. 
Admiral Lyon’s squadron, with 100 trans¬ 
ports, had left the Crimea to fete) the reserve. 
Ihe Danube. — Lord Raglan had called for a 
division in Bessarabia, consequently the Turks 
were advancing to the Pruth. 
The advance guards set out from Bucharest 
on the 17ch, and Omar Pacha would follow on 
the 29th. Ibrail and Galatz will be the base ot 
operations. Only two battalions will remain ai 
Bucharest, and small detachments will remain 
at the various poinis on the left of the Danube. 
'Fhe Baltic. —News of the bombardment ot 
Revel was daily expected, but the English 
press considers it would be impolitic at this late 
season, in the absence of the French fleet. At 
last accounts the larger portion of the Heel was 
at Ledsund; but the British would shortly 
leave for Baro Sound or Margen. Admiral 
Plumridge’s squadron was at Margen. 
Foe Russian fleet, at Helsingfors, consists of 
9 ships, mounting 780 guns ; at Cronstadt, 21 
ships, mounting l,68dtguns, besides 6 steamers. 
They were striking their topmasts, and prepar¬ 
ing tor winter. 
On the 19th, the French and English fleets 
8 painted, the French under Admiral Duchesne, 
returning home. 
The White Ska. —Capt. Lyons officially an¬ 
nounces to the British AUmirality, the destruc¬ 
tion of the town ot Kola, vvlucn be burned Lo 
the ground without losing a man. 
The Sea ok Azof. — Four Anglo-French 
steann-rs will endeavor to force an entry into 
the Sea of Azof to capture Russian transports, 
which are now conveying reinforcements into 
the Crimea. 
On the 13th, a Tuscan ship at Constantinople 
reported that an army of 30,01)1) was at Tagan¬ 
rog, ready to be conveyed in pontoons aail gun¬ 
boats to Yenikale or lvaffa. 
I’ne Journal ot Constantinople states that this 
toice had put to sea, was overtaken by a tem¬ 
pest and 200 men drowned. This is considered 
doubtful. 
Asia.— The Turkish army occupies the camp 
abandoned by the Pussians near Kars. Seha- 
myl lias effected a junction with his lieutenant, 
Daniel Day, ami threatens an immediate attack 
on Fiflis. Daniel has had two engagements, 
boLli successful, against Gen. VVrengles. 
A division of the Polish artillery had desert¬ 
ed to the Turks, bringing two guns. 
Great Britain. —Capt. McClure ami t.lie 
crews of his Polar expedition, had arrived at 
Cork. 
France —A new civic police for Paris is to 
he organized on the model of the London po¬ 
lice. 
Prince Poniat.owski, the Tuscan minister at 
Paris, has resigned, and intends to become a 
naturalized French subject. He is a favorite 
of the Emperor, who Will appoint him to high 
office. 
Spain.— Renewed disturbances are feared at 
Madrid, but as yet there has been no open out¬ 
break. Barcelona is more quiet. Mr. Soule is 
in Paris, on his way to Baden. The Times’ 
correspondent again asserts that the Spanish 
authorities hold the proofs of Mr. Soule’s con¬ 
nection with the recent Revolutionary attempts. 
The government has removed all French ref¬ 
ugees into the interior, beyond the Ebro. They 
will not be allowed to reside in Arragon, Cata¬ 
lonia, the Basque Provinces, or Madrid. 
Italy.— The Papal Government lias just con¬ 
cluded a loan of four millions of crowns witti 
the Rolhchilds. 
The cholera is committing great ravages, at 
Messina. All the consuls, except the Bey’sand 
the American, had tied the city. 
Russia.— Respecting political matters, the 
only remai k is, that whatever may happen, the 
Czar will not give in. 
There has been a new issue of paper money 
to the extent of six million roubles. 
Via the Baltic, it is stated that the discontent 
of the Russian population is increasing, and 
even threatens lo bring on a revolution. 
China— The dates by the overland mail are 
Canton, Aug. 5, Shanghai, July 24, Amoy, July 
29, and Singapore, Aug. 13. 
Canton was m a state of siege. Business was 
entirely suspended, and the city would in a few 
days be in the hands of t.tie insurgents. No tea 
was being br. night to market. 
Whampoa and “Fushman” were still held by 
the insurgents. 
LivKhrooL Corn Market, Sept. 29.—Bread- 
stuffs had an upward tendency, enabling hold¬ 
ers to establi.-h an advance of 3d on wheat, ls@ 
la (id on Hour, and 2>@2s 3d on corn. Western 
canal flour was quoted at 3ls Git. Arrivals of

WAR, IN EARNEST? 
SEVASTOPOL TAKEN BY THE ALLIES ! 
18,000 Russians Killed, and 22,000 Taken 
Prisoners! 
LOSS OF THE ALLIES, TEN THOUSAND ! 
The Collins steamer Baltic arrived at New 
York on the lGlli. 
Eight hours after the Europa sailed came 
official news of the great battle at Alma River, 
ui Crimea, on the 21st. 
The allies stormed t he Russian intrenclinients 
after four hours’ fighting. 
I he Anglo-French loss — 2,800 killed and 
wounded. The Russians lost. G,0()0. 
Private despatches supply the rest of the 
news, viz., that the Russians under Menschikofl 
rallied on the river Kathsiiha on the 23d, and 
again gave battle to the Allies. 
They were again defeated, and driven to the 
entrenchments behind Sevastopol. Again ral¬ 
lied, and fought a third battle on the 24th, and 
were a third time defeated. They fled into Se¬ 
vastopol, which was beleaguered by sea and 
land. 
On the 25th Fort Constantine was invested by 
sea and land,and after an obstinate defense was 
carried by storm. 
'Fhe Allies then bombarded the city and the 
fleet.. Ten Russian ships were burned and 
-unk. The remaining forts were carried, one 
after the other. Eight hundred guns were si¬ 
lenced, and 22,000 prisoners taken. 'Fhe Rus¬ 
sian loss, in dead and disabled, is estimated at 
not less than 18,DUO, in Sevastopol alone. 
Menschtkoff, with the shattered remains of 
his force, retired into a position in the inner har¬ 
bor, threatening to tire the town and blow up 
the remaining ships, unless the victors would 
grant him honorable capitulation The allied 
Generals demanded bis unconditional surrender, 
and in the name of humanity gave him six 
hours for consideration. 
The latest despatch says “ Menschikoff has 
surrendered !” The British and French flags 
wave over Sevastopol. The entrenched camp ol 
the Russians, on the heights of the Alma, con- 
iained 50,01)1) men, and numerous artillery and 
cavalry. It was carried at the point of the 
bayonet, after four hours’ fighting. 
No general officer of the British was wound- 
i d. Marshal St. Arnaud and Lord Raglan com¬ 
manded in person. Gen. Thomassori, French, is 
thought to be fatally wounded, and Gen. Canro- 
bert was wounded m the shoulder. 
Russian accounts do not conceal the facts of 
severe reverses in the Crimea, for their arms. 
A second dispatch from Berlin of the 29tli, 
says : 
“ The return of the French fleet on the Baltic 
had been countermanded, and a dispatch dated 
2 d, states that the fleet left that harbor to join 
Napier, in the Baltic.” 
N apier was before Revel on the 23d. 
Russians in the Principalities.—Bucherest, 
Sept. 30. — It is again asserted than here are 30,- 
000 Russians in ihe Dobrudscha, and Gen. Lu- 
ders was constantly receiving reinforcements. 
Omer Pacha was only waiting for St. Ar- 
naud’s order to attack Bessarabia. The ar¬ 
rangements by the Turkish army iudicale the 
intention of a winter campaign. 
The Russians are concentrated in tlie neigh¬ 
borhood of Ismail. 
Details of the Sevastopol news were not ex¬ 
pected by the British government before the 
Gth inst. 
'l’iie St. Petersburg Journal publishes a de¬ 
cree forbidding the export of corn to Austria. 
The Baris correspondent of the Independence 
Beige says it is rumored that a joint note has 
been sent by England and France to the Cabi¬ 
net at Washington, requesting an explanation 
of the engagements entered into between the 
United Slates and Russia, especially with re- 
f-pict to the nature and conditions of an acqui¬ 
sition to be made by ihe United Stales,ol Rus¬ 
sian possessions m North America. 
Liverpool Markets.— Brown, Shipley and 
others report breadsluffs generally quiet, and a 
limited business at previous rates. Good Indian 
corn scaice and firm. A moderate business 
doing. Lard and tallow dull. Bacon—no im¬ 
provement. Beef and Pork still quiet, waiting 
government contract announcement. 
Money in Dead Letters. 
A correspondent of the Baltimore Nan, writes 
from Washington under date of Oct, 3, that: 
“ The operations of the Finance Bureau of the 
General Post Office Department for the current 
year, disclose the fact of a rapid increase in the 
business and importance of the dead letter office. 
In the first quarter of 1852 the number of dead 
letters found by the openers, which contained 
money, was 1,7oI—the amount, $10,238; second 
quarter, 1,73G letters, and $11,17G ; third quar- 
iej, 1,781 letters, and $10,8GJ ; fourth quarter, 
1,842 letters, and $11,713. 
“ In the third quarter ended 31st March, 1854 
—two years afterward—the number of valuable 
dead letters reached 2,333, containing $14,401. 
Fhe second quarter yielded 2,487 letters, and 
$14,325 in money. We have from the third 
quarter—ended September 30th, last.—2,354 let¬ 
ters, in which were found $14,088 in cash.— 
VV hen it is recollected that these do not embrace 
the dead letters from foreign countries—which 
are ail returned unopened—the progress of this 
brand) of Governmental service is more appa¬ 
rent.” 
The same correspondent states that seven- 
eights of the lost money is safely returned to 
the legal owners. 
Marine Disasters.— During the recent gales, 
several vessels on the upper lakes were wreck¬ 
ed or disabled. The Chicago Journal of Tues¬ 
day week has a list of those that suffered, in¬ 
cluding the barque France, ashore on Lake Hu¬ 
ron ; Leander, in St. Clair river, leaking; brig 
U. R. Seymour, dismasted ; Wm. Brown, lost 
sails and 500 bbis. of salt for Saginaw bay ; 
barque Fame, wrecked on Lake Huron with a 
cargo of grain ; schr. Citizen, lost 25,000 feet of 
black walnut lumber ; Cambria, lost 15,000 
slaves ; Sacramento, with 4,650 bushels of corn, 
towed into Erie, leaky ; North Carolina, capsiz¬ 
ed off Erie, crew saved, with one exception— 
cargo, staves. 
A Ministerial Strike.— Yesterday at Urba- 
na the bell ot the Presbyterian Church rang 
the second time—the congregation sat waiting 
and watching, but no minister came. After the 
lapse of about half an hour, a note was handed 
to one of the elders, who arose and read it to 
the congregation. It was from the minister, 
who said he would not preach for them any 
more till his salary was paid up .—Columbus 
(0.) Fad, 9/A. 
American Pearl Fishery.— The Scientific 
American states that a company has been form¬ 
ed in Wilmington, Del., for the purpose of pur¬ 
suing pearl fishing in South America. The 
ship Emily Fanning has been purchased for the 
purpose, and diving bells and all other things 
are being prepared for the voyage. 
In the case of Jager, on trial for murder 
in Aew York, Wm. Harrison was challenged 
and excluded from the jury on the ground that 
lie was an undertaker, and his occupation gave 
him too great a familiarity with death. °
