Arrival of the Steamship Asia. 
Tuk Asia readied New York November Kith, 
bringing four days later news from Europe. 
The Captain of the English steam Transport, 
which left Balaklavaon the evening of the 26th, 
confirms in a great part the information brought 
previously by a French ship, that the Rus¬ 
sians attack* d the foris in the vicinity of Balak- 
lava on the 25th, their number being about 30,- 
000. The attack was unexpected. There were 
Ottoman and Scotch troops engaged. The 
Turks gave way and even left their guns, which 
were seized by the Russians and turned against 
them. The Scotch remained firm in their posi¬ 
tion, other forces arrived am) the Russians were 
obliged to yield. The Russians remained, 
nevertheless, masters of the two forts from 
which they fired on the Allies. Tlvee regiments 
of English Light Cavalry exposed to the cross 
tire of the Russian batterit s sutltred immensely. 
The French took part i.i the aifair with ad¬ 
mirable bravery. On tl e next day their posi¬ 
tion was attacked by a bo ly of 800 Russians, as 
well as from the side of the town as from that 
of Balaklava, they repu'sed the enemy with 
great slaughter. The 1< as of the Russians must 
have been very great. It is affirmed that the 
fire of the batteries of the town had much 
slackened, and according to the reports of 
wounded officers, some of whom have arrived 
at Buyakdere, the belief is continued that Se¬ 
vastopol would soon be in the hands ot the Al¬ 
lies. 
Stratford De Radcliffe, Lord Dunkellin, is 
promoted to Captain and Lieut- Conlonel. Up 
to the 21st of October, the seige and bombard¬ 
ment of Sevastopol was going on with regulari¬ 
ty and success, and the loss of life was so great 
in the town of Sevastopol, that, the air was said to 
be tainted by the number of unburied dead. 
Admiral Nachimoff had been killed by a shell. 
The loss of the allies is comparatively small. 
and Lord Raglan is understood to be favorable 
to a prolonged bombardment in preference to 
an immediate assault. 
The Wiemer Zeitung.publishes the following: 
Kichknofp Bessarabia, Oct. 29. 
On the 25th, Gen. Liprandi attacked the de¬ 
tached camp of the English and took the four 
redoubts which protected their position. The 
assailants also took eleven guns. At the same 
time such a powerful cavalry attack was made, 
that it probably cost the English half their light 
cavalry. Lord Cardigan, who commanded, es¬ 
caped with difficulty. Lord Dunkellin was 
taken prisoner. Greek accounts from Odessa 
confirm this, and say that the English cavalry 
lost 500 men. It is certain that the Russians 
have received considerable re-inforcements, and 
a still stronger corps was expected from Pereko. 
In the recent attack the forts at the mouth of 
Sevastopol harbor, and the vessels of the allies 
were much damaged. 
The British were said to he within 300 yards 
of the Russian works, but the French works 
were not strong enough, and had been much 
injured. 
The French division from Piraeus had passed 
the Bosphorus as a re-inforcement to the be¬ 
sieging party. 
It is said that two Russian men-of-war, which 
had been careened over to serve as batteries, bad 
been sunk by tlie fire of the allies. Water was 
beginning to fail in Sevastopol. Lord Ragalan’s 
chief interpreter, a Greek, had been sent to 
Constantinople for trial as a Russian spy. 
Menschikoff reports, officially, the loss of the 
Russians at Alma at 4,500, and that Fort Con- 
stantantine had been much damaged, and that 
bastion No.3 had thirty-three guns dismounted. 
The Paris correspondent of the London Times 
says :—“ I am informed the French Government 
have in their possession positive evidence ot the 
participation of Mr. Soule in some vast plan to 
revolutionize nearly the whole of Europe, and 
it. is even added that those plans occupied the 
attention of the diplomatic congress lately held 
at Ostend.” 
The U. S. Minister at Paris had an interview 
with M. Drouyn Del’Huyes, Minister of Foreign 
Affairs, on the subject of Mr. Soule’s exclusion 
from France. M. Del’Huyes assured him there 
were good reasons for the conduct of the French 
authorities, and that they should be iorthcom- 
ing when necessary. 
Liverpool Markets.— Denison cfc Co., and 
most others, report the market dull in the early 
part of the week, but it closed with an im¬ 
proved demand at a decline, however, on the 
week of Is on flour, 2da3d on wheat, and lscn 
Indian corn. 
Western Canal flour 40sa41s; Baltimore and 
Philadelphia 42s; Ohio 41sa45s. No Canadian

Money easy. 
Severe Penalty. —Zachariah B. Porter, of 
Porters’s Hotel, Cambridge, was tried in the 
Middlesex, (Mass.,) Common Pleas on Monday 
week, on a complaint of violation of the liquor 
law, containing nineteen counts, and was found 
guilty on eighteen of them, also of being a com¬ 
mon seller. He was tried before the Police 
Court of Cambridge on a complaint containing 
nineteen counts, in which he was found guilty 
on eighteen, and was sentenced to pay a fine of 
ten dollars and costs on the first, and twenty on 
the second, and twenty dollors fine and three 
months imprisonment, in the common jail on 
each of the other sixteen counts, making in all 
three hundred and fifty dollars and costs, and 
four years imprisonment, from which he appeal¬ 
ed, and was tried as above. The case goes up 
to the Supreme Court on exceptions. 
Lumbering Tuirty Years Ago.— An Eastern 
paper, speaking of lumbering operations in 
1819, says: “Stumpage of the best pine on 
Passadumkeag waters, (Me.,) was purchased 
through Gov. John Neptune, of the Penobscot 
Indians, at the rate of one barrel of flour for the 
winter’s operation of a six ox team. The ex¬ 
pense of the outfit, exclusive of the cost of the 
oxen, was about $500. The provender for the 
cattle consisted of two hogsheads of smoked 
alewives, which were amply sufficient to keep 
six oxen in good heart and flesh for the winter. 
The logs were sawed at Oldtown,at the halves, 
sorted into two classes and sold at Bangor at 
$7@11.” 
A Large Cherry Tree.—T he Rev. Mr. Gale, 
of East Aurora, writes to the editor of the Buf¬ 
falo Republic as follows: 
There stands at the present, time in the town 
of Genoa, Cayuga Co., in this State, on the farm 
of Mrs. John Moe, an English cherry tree, that 
was brought from Duchess County, 57 years 
ago, and set in the yard, which now measures 
15 feet and 4 inches around the smallest place 
below the limbs and the branches spread 72 
feet, and it was judged that there were ten 
bushels of fruit upon it the present year. If 
there are any more such, I should be happy to 
hear of their whereabouts. I think that the 
equal to it cannot be found in America 
An Im runKNT Robber. — Tlie Detroit Adver¬ 
tiser says that on Thursday last a rough look¬ 
ing character went into a prominent clothing 
store in Detroit, remarking that he wished to 
look round to see where the best goods were, as 
he intended to break in there that night and 
help himself. The clerks laughed, and allowed 
him to look as much as he wished. When night 
came, sure enough the store was broken into, 
the cashier’s drawer robbed of $150 in cash, 
and $700 worth of nice clothing carried away. 
Nothing has since been heard of the rascal. 
American Machinery Abroad.— The Messrs. 
Adams, of South Boston, have constructed two 
of their improved six-roller printing presses for 
Scotland, which are now ready to be shipped. 
One of them is for Blakey <fe Son, Glasgow, the 
other is for a printing house in Edinburg. They 
are designed for printing the nicest wood cuts, 
and have improvements, consisting of movable 
rtvs and strings that, obviate all difficulty here¬ 
tofore existing in the way of good work, that 
which caused the sheet to blur after the im¬ 
pression was given .—Boston Pod. 
The Money Excitement.—Cincinnati, Nov. 
17.— Money matters are quiet, and are again 
beginning to assume a more natural appearance. 
There have been no failures among the mer¬ 
chants, and indications are that the worst of the 
panic has been experienced. Eastern exchange 
is quoted to 2VJ premium without, much 
demand for it. Hogs are selling at $3 95@4.

Rochester, Nov. 22, 1854. J 
There are no very essential changes in prices of the 
grains this morning, although Corn is quoted somewhat 
lower, and Wheat a little higher than last week. Brewers 
and Malsters have entered into an agreement among them¬ 
selves not to pay over one dollar for Barley, and it is there¬ 
fore held at that figure. 
Poultry is plenty and cheaper. Other articles of farm 
produce about the same as last week. 
The Money market is still stringent, but somewhat easier. 
The panic at the West seems to be partially subsiding, and 
no new developments have appeared in financial circles. 
The Northern Light brought in on tlie L4ih, $560,000, 
and there has been carried abroad during the week $1,328,- 
614, making a total for the year of $36,654 698. There is 
a gratifying reduction in the amount of foreign imports 
from those of last year. During the week the imports at 
New York, according to tlie Tribunes tables, were $1,- 
846,777 against $2,631,109 for the same time in 1853.

This institution is located at Cariisle, Schoharie -Co., N.

ing liquors are sold, 
INTERNAL ARRANGEMENTS. 
There are six large recitation rooms, six music rooms, a 
commodious chapel, rooms for 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. The whole is warmed by furnaces in the 
basement, thus obviating the danger and incovenience of 
having stoves in tlie rooms—but at the same time keep an 
equal temperature throughout the halls and rooms. Stu¬ 
dents are n-ver exposed to draughts of cold air, as they are 
not required to go out of tlie building in passing to the 
recitation rooms, chapel or dining hail. The rooms of the 
students vary in size from lOby 14 feet to 15 by 16 feet, and

with them.

neither pains nor expense. Every department of instruc¬ 
tion is filled by Teachers of superior qualifications—experi¬ 
ence and success in tbeir profession. Students completing 
a prescribed graduting course will receive Diplomas. 
DISCIPLINE. 
The students of both departments are underthe 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 depaitments exceptin the public parlor with 
the permission of the Principal and Preceptress. No gen¬ 
tleman is allowed to visit a ladv in her private room.
