Lives op the Queens op England before the Norman 
Conquest. By Mrs. Matthew IIai.i,, Philadelphia: 
Blanchard & Lea, ' 
These biographies contain much to illustrate 
the darkest pages of English history, not before 
available to the general reader. The era before 
the Conquest had its chroniclers and bards, and 
many of their works are still extant. These 
materials have been critically examined by Mrs. 
Hall, —she has endeavored to separate the le¬ 
gendary from the actual—and in the lives of all 
the Queens and Empresses connected with ear¬ 
ly English history, has attempted to present 
the most reliable account of that period. Dewey 
has it for sale. 
A Practical and Commercial Arithmetic; containing 
Definitions of Terms, and Rules of Operations, with 
numerous Examples. By G. B. Dochakty, LL. D., 
Professor of Mathemaths in the N. Y. Free Academy, 
'&c. New York: Harper & Brothers. 
This new school book comes well recom¬ 
mended, and from a cursory examination we 
think it entitled to the public favor. We know 
that it opens to the learner an easier road than 
that by which we achieved a knowledge of the 
mysteries of “Arithmetic;” its explanations 
being clear and its rubs comprehensible to the 
youthful understanding. Sold at Daiirow’s, 
Main-st* Bookstore. 
The Knickerbocker Magazine for November 
has the conclusion of “ The Fudge Papers,” a 
sketch of fashionable life in New York, by Ik. 
Marvel. All departments arc,, as usual, well 
sustained. Sold at McMahon’s. 
Harper’s Magazine for November closes the 
ninth volume of this well-known and very pop¬ 
ular monthly. Additional attractions are prom¬ 
ised with the nexv volume, in the way of Origi¬ 
nal Pictorial Articles, tfec. Darrow, agent,—25

Arrival of the Washington and Niagara. 
The first named steamer arrived at, New York 
and the second at Halifax, both on the 25th ult., 
with four days later news from Europe. 
Nothing as yet Lad been effected at Sevasto¬ 
pol. The -Russians had sunk some ships of the 
line at the mouth of the harbor. The bombard - 
fnent of Sevastopol began October 5th. Mar¬ 
shal St. Arnaud is dead, from natural causes.— 
Gen. Conrobert is Chief in command of the 
French army. 
Meiuel has been nearly destroyed by fire.— 
Afler the battle of Alma the Russians burned 
all the villages which they passed through, in 
their flight. They left about 6,000 wounded 
behind them. 
Sevastopol w r as completely invested, and a 
body of 5,000 French and Turkish cavalry was 
to have left Varna on the 28th. 1000 Russians, 
who were escorting a convoy of munitions of 
war, had been made prisoners. Menschikoff 
himself narrowly escaped capture. 
Private dispatches mention that great demor¬ 
alization prevailed in Sevastopol. The allies 
destroyed an aqueduct which supplied the for¬ 
tress. 
Two thousand five hundred cavalry had been 
landed by the allies in the Crimea. 
The inhabitants.of Odessa bad given a pledge 
that they would burn the place rather than al¬ 
low it to fall into the hands of the allies. 
After the battle of Alma, the carriage of 
Menschikofif was taken, with his private cor- 
respondence.and 50,000 Francs, by the French. 
The loss by the burning of Memel is stated 
at 2,000,000 pounds sterling. Owing to the 
large destruction of tallow by the fire, that ar¬ 
ticle advanced Is (id in London. Hemp was 
also considerably dearer. 
From Poland we hear that a great movement 
is in operation along the w r hole line. The 
Russian general was advancing by forced 
marches towards Warsaw. The troops of the 
Kingdom of Poland were directed on the Aus¬ 
trian frontier. The garrison of Anapa, before 
reported burnt by the Russians, 1,500 strong, 
was on its way to Sevastopol.

Sept, between 120 and 130 heavy guns were

taken possession of Cape Chersoness. There 
is a great concentration of Turkish troops at 
Macliin. 
Omar Pasha begins his operations against the 
Russians in Bessarabia immediately. 
Berlin, Tuesday.—According to a recent 
official despatch from St. Petersburg the 9th, 
the allies had made no attack on Sevastopol up 
to the 3d. They still occupied Balaclava. 
Paris, Tuesday.—A dispatch from Vienna 
states that a dispatch from Menschikoff, re¬ 
ceived that day, announces that the allies had 
established themselves at Balaclava and Cape 
Chersonese, and that no attack had been made 
upon Sevastopol up to the 3d inst.

mand. Western Canal quoted at 33s. Ohio 
35s. Holders of Indian Corn were pressing in 
the market, and rates obtained were Is lower. 
Yellow and white were quoted at 39s, and mix¬ 
ed at 37s. London corn market was Is dearer. 
Arrival of the Pacific. 
New York, Oct. 30.—The Pacific arrived at 
her wharf without being telegraphed. She has 
Liverpool dates to the 18th. There is absolute¬ 
ly no news from the war. Despatches, such as 
they are, are altogether conflicting, but one au¬ 
thentic to the 9th October, when nothing had 
been done. The Allies now number 90,000.— 
They occupy a strong position south of Sevas¬ 
topol, and nave all their eeige apparatus. 
Menschikoff continues to hold the field north¬ 
ward of Sevastopol, with 30,000 men, and 30,000 
more were expected by Oct. 15th. 
The latest accounts say that Gen. Canrobert 
ordered the Russian outposts to be driven in on 
the 9th, and batteries were .erected.. Ten thou¬ 
sand additional Frenchmen are lobe immedi¬ 
ately shipped from Marseilles to the Crimea. 
It is confirmed that the Baltic fleet will re¬ 
turn home without further operations. 
Omer Pasclia is preparing to operate on three 
points—the Pruth, Dobrudsclia, and the Sea. 
Russia is amassing forces on the Austrian 
frontier. 
It is surmised that France and England are 
at present organizing to vindicate the right of 
the Independent Kingdom of Poland. Jerome 
Bonaparie is re-naturalized as a Frenchman. 
China, Ac. —Letters mention that three at¬ 
tempts had been made by the insurgents to take 
Canton, and failed; an attempt, to effect a com¬ 
promise with the insurgents, had also proven 
unsuccessful. Fighting was going on at Shang¬ 
hai, but the Imperialists made but little prog 
gress towards the recapture of the city. 
The American ship Lady Pierce arrived at 
Hong Kong, after visiting Jeddo and Samodi 
in Japan, at which places she met with favora¬ 
ble reception. 
Later.— Marseilles, Oct. 16. Each ship of 
the allied fleet is to furnish a company of ma¬ 
rines and eight guns, making a total of 200 guns 
to assist at the seige of Sevastopol. 
Hamburg, Oct. 1(5.—Immediate steps are to 
be taken for stopping the indirect traffic with 
Russia through Russian ports.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
The George Law and the Star of the West have brought 
in during the week about two millions, with very cheering 
accounts fiom tlie California mines,and a prospect of large 
future remittances. Very little gold has gone abroad in 
the meantime. The Boston steamer, on the 25th, taking 
out. but $226,000, and the Baltic, from New York on the 
28th, $142,800. 
Business is dull and times hard in New York ; the large 
failures among Liverpool and other foreign houses, added 
to the doubtful credit or positive bankruptcy of many of 
our home banking institutions, have produced a general 
distrust in monied circles. Produce keeps up to a high 
figure, and absorbs a large portion of the active capital 
afloat. 
The New York and Erie Railroad advertises for a $4,000,- 
000 loan, for the purpose of purchasing its floating debts, 
completing and closing its construction accounts, aad re¬ 
deeming the bonds soon to fall due. The loan is to be 
made payable iu tweuty years, with a sinking fund of $35,- 
000 a month to be set aside out of the gross earnings of 
the road, and invested in purchasing and canceling the 
bonds of the Company, until the entire indebtedness shall 
have been reduced to §20,000,000. Income bonds of the 
road will be received at par in part payment of the loan.

Rochester, Nov. 1, 1854. j 
There was a disposition to recede on the extreme quo¬ 
tations of Flour, previous to the recent news by the Pa¬ 
cific; since that time, however, prices have stiffened, and 
Flour now brings $10 to the trade. Wheat brings readily 
17 shillings, and the impression is entertained by many 
that the price will go still higher. What the ultimate re¬ 
sult will be, even the shrewdest dealer can only euess.— 
Barley has gone up another peg, and sells in this city to¬ 
day at $1,05@1,10. Oats, Corn and Buckwheat unchanged. 
No hay in market this morning, owing to the prospects 
of rain. 
Poultry is lower and more plenty, chickens selling at 8 
cents, and Turkeys at 10c.

FLOUR—Our market for Western and State Flour this 
morning was quite inactive ana weak. For the East the 
demand is very moderate, while the home and river trade 
are buying quite moderate and only suliicient to meet the 
immediate consumptive demands. The great bulk of the 
receipts are either going into store or being re-shipped.— 
Sales extra Genesee at $10@10,7o. In tlie medium and 
common grades there was not sufficient done to establish 
quotations. Buckwheat, Flour is in good request at $3,75

quest for the East and home consumption at $1,56@1,62

little offering. No sales. Corn is in moderate request for 
home consumption, with a steady supply. Sales Western 
mixed afloat at 78c. The market for Barley has undergone

slightly in favor of the buyer. Sales good four-rowed at 
$1,88, two-rowed at $1,30@1,SS for good to prime lots.

ceipts since Saturday were large, and the market favors 
buyers. Sales choice Mich, at $8,06)4, and extra Ohio at 
$8,75. 
GRAIN—Wheat quiet—we hear of no sales. Corn dull. 
The receipts are still very light. The only sale we could

to accommodate over 3,000 boarders. They are situated 
inthe midst of a beautiful grove of some ten acres of round 
belonging to the Seminary. 
Carlisle is a pleasant, healthy and retired village, and 
contains no hotels, saloons or groceries where intoxicat¬ 
ing liquors are sold, 
INTERNAL ARRANGEMENTS. 
There are six large recitatiou rooms, six music rooms,, a 
commodious chapel, rooms lor literary societies, a reading 
room, library', a large and convenient room for Oil Paint¬ 
ing with sky and side lights, bath rooms in connection 
with each department; and five flights of stairs all con¬ 
necting with outside doors and accessible from any part of 
the building, thus affording ample opportunities of escape 
in case of fire. Tlie whole is warmed by furnaces in the 
basement, thus obviating the danger and incovenience of 
having stoves in the rooms—but at the same time keep an 
equal temperature throughout the halls and rooms. Stu¬ 
dents are never exposed tp draughts of cold air, as they are 
not required to go out of the building in passing to the 
recitation rooms, chapel or dining hall. The rooms of the 
students vary in size from 10 by 14 feet to 15 bv 16 feet, and 
are furnished with a movable register in the floor, and also 
with a ventilator, by which means each student may grad¬ 
uate the temperature of his own room at pleasure. ” In ad¬ 
dition to the above conveniences, the Institution employs 
s-r- ants to carry water to and from the several halls, trim 
the lamps and do the extra cleaning of the Students’ rooms. 
BOARD. 
We intend the board shall be decidedly superior to that 
which is afforded in other boarding schools, thus removing 
tire reproach too often, in many cases too justly connected 
with them. 
BOARD OF INSTRUCTION. 
In the selection of Teachers, tlie Trustees have spared 
neither pains nor expense. Every department of instruc¬ 
tion is filled by Teachers of superior qualifications—experi¬ 
ence and success in their profession. Students completing 
a prescribed gradutiug course will receive Diplomas. 
DISCIPLINE. 
The students of both departments are under the constant 
supervision of the Principal, Preceptress and Teachers—sit 
at the same table with them, are accompanied by them to 
church and on their excursions, and are instructed con¬ 
cerning the social proprieties as well as the duties and ob¬ 
ligations of life. No intercourse whatever is permitted be¬ 
tween the two departments except in the public parlor with 
the permission of the Principal and Preceptress. No gen¬ 
tleman is allowed to visit a lady in her private room. 
EXPENSES.

family.25c 
Ice Cream, or White Sugar Melon, of Alabama.—New 
variety, very large, globular, white, thick rind; white 
flesh, quality unsurpassed; white seeds, and alto¬

It is a good substitute for, and by many preferred 
to the Citron for preserving.25c 
Citron Nutmeg Muskmelon.—T his new variety is a 
little superior to those fine, small Nutmeg Melons so

adjacent County Fairs, to the admiration and grati¬ 
fication of thousands of tasters, many of whom

cient for an acre,—cultivate same as Corn. It is be¬
