Arrival of European Steamers. 
Four European steamers have arrived during 
the week, viz :—The Liverpool and Montreal 
steamer Canadian, which connects at Portland 
(Me.) with the Atlantic <fc St. Lawrence Rail¬ 
road, arrived on the 2f2d ; the Cunard steamer 
Canada arrived at Halifax Nov. 23d ; the Her¬ 
mann, at New York, Nov. 24th, and the Collins 
steamer Baltic, also at New York, Nov. 25tli- 
The news from Europe by those steamers, is of 
a highly important and interesting character* 
l> ing eight days later from the scat of war 
Fighting before Sevastopol continues, and sev- 
:ral desperate encounters have taken place b 
tween the belligerents ; accounts of which vary 
essentially, according to the sources from 
whence they are derived. 
Seven of the first class English steamers have 
been taken up for instant service in other quar¬ 
ters. The Alps sailed on the 11th for Toulon. 
The Europa will go to Kingston on the 18th, i 
and numerous others, including the Indiana, I 
New York, Ac., were under orders to embark j 
The disastrous results of the battle of the 
26tli to the English is confirmed, though it- is 
not quite so bad as reported. It was all owing 
to tho misconstruction of an order from the 
commander-in-chief. Lords Hucan and Cardi¬ 
gan rode the light horse over a plain a mile 
and a half in length, and were exposed to a 
cross fire full at a Russian battery of 30 guns. 
The attempt was madness and the result de¬ 
structive. Out of 609 only 198 returned, and 
these must have also been destroyed but for a 
magnificent charge to the rescue by the heavy 
dragoons, .and a brave stand of the Highlanders, 
which redeemed the day. 
A despatch from Menschikoff, sent to Berlin 
in cypher, says :—“ Unusual activity had been 
observable in the allied camp, anti doubtless 
preparations were being made to storm. Li- 
premdi, reinforced by corps sent by Menschi¬ 
koff, had attacked the allied camp, and killed 
800 men. This report, however, is doubtful, as 
also a statement that a practical breach was 
opened in the walls on the same day.” 
Gen. Canrobert’s official report of the battle 
of tho 5th November, is published in the Mon- 
itour of the 13th. He says:—“The Russian 
army is swollon by reinforcements from the 
Banube as well as by the combined reserves of 
all the Southern Provinces, and animated by 
the presence oi the Grand l)uke Michael and 
Nicholas, attacked yesterday, November 5th, 
tho right of the English position before Sevas¬ 
topol. 
“ The English army sustained the attack with 
united firmness and solidity. I supported it by 
a portion of Gen. Bosquet’s division, which 
fought with admirable vigor. The enemy, who, 
far outnumbered our force, beat a retreat, with 
a loss estimated at 8000 to 9000 men. The 
struggle lasted the whole day. At the same 
time, Gen. Forey was forced to repulse a sortie 
made by the garrison, and under his energetic 
command the enemy were driven back into tho 
place, with the loss of 1,000 killed and wound¬ 
ed. The brilliant day, which was not purchas¬ 
ed without considerable loss to tho allies, does 
the greatest honor to our armies. The seige 
continues witli regularity. 
The English accounts corroborate the above, 
but the Russian statement, on the other hand, 
puts quite a different face on the affair. A tel¬ 
egraphic despatch from St. I’etersburgh of the 
15th, states that Menschikoff reports, under 
date of November 6th from Sevastopol, that on 
the 5th the garrison made two sorties—one 
against the right flank, which was successful, 
and resulted in the capture of oiie of the ene¬ 
my’s batteries, the guns of which were spiked. 
Loss very heavy on bolh sides. The second 
sortie was also completely successful—the Rus¬ 
sians having spiked 15 guns. Immediately af¬ 
terward the French infantry division, pursuing 
the retreating Russians, attempted to commence 
the assault, but was thrown back with immense 
loss. 
The British Parliament is further prorogued 
to the 14th of December. 50,000 French troops 
are to be sent to the Crimea, England paying 
half the expenses. 
The overland India mail had been telegraph¬ 
ed, with China dates to the 13th Sept. Canton 
still tranquil. Trade is at a stand. Considera¬ 
ble fighting secretly—result unknown. 
The British, French and American Plenipo¬ 
tentiaries were to proceed to a revision of tiie 
treaties witli China. 
From Alexandria, Egypt, it is telegraphed a 
new levy of troops lias been ordered in aid of 
the Sultan. 
Tiie Latest —At Vienna the prevalent opin¬ 
ion was that a few more such victories would 
compel the allies to rais6 the seige. Menschi¬ 
koff appears to be of the same opinion, for in a 
despatch to Paskiewitch he says :—“ It will be 
impossible for the allies to continue the seige, 
and I continue to harrass them.” 
The London Times’ Paris correspondent says 
that Canrobert had assured the French govern¬ 
ment that the Russians were so weakened in 
the affairs of the 5tli, that for ten days to come 
they would not be in a condition to resist an 
assault upon the town ; that he intends to make 
the attempt. He calls the allies’ loss 5,(100— 
English, French and Turks. 
Liverpool Markets. —Messrs. Brown, Ship- 
ley Co. say the market is quiet, with a de¬ 
cline of 2d on wheat and 6d on corn. Other 
circulars, while admitting the market to favor 
buyers, shows but little if any change. 
Beef and Pork were in good demand. Bacon 
dull, 36@37s. Flour a shade firmer—5,38@5,45.

Arrival of the George Law. 
The steamship George Law, Lieut. G. N. Fox, 
left Aspinwall at 12 o’clock on the night of the 
15th inst., and arrived at Quarantine, New 
York, the 21th. She brings the California mails 
of the 1st inst., $1,568,644 in treasure on 
freight, and 423 passengers, brought down on 
the Pacific side by the Pacific Mail Steamship 
Company’s steamer John L. Stevens. 
California. —Since the sailing of the steamer 
of the 16th, business has been quite brisk. A 
large amount of goods have gone into the inte¬ 
rior, and still the tide continues to flow in that 
direction. 
From the mining regions the news is favora¬ 
ble, though heavy losses have been sustained 
on some of the streams by the partial floods, 
the natural consequence of the heavy rains 
which have fallen lately. Hill and dry diggings 
are still highly productive, and the announce¬ 
ment Of further discoveries of rich deposits are 
continually being mentioned. Places where 
gold was not thought to exist up to the past 
year, have been prospected and found rich in 
the precious metal. The material evidence in 
the form of gold dust constantly arriving from 
the mining regions is the best evidence that the 
mines are yielding handsomely. 
Gold Discoveries ix Lower California.— 
Gold has been discovered in large quantities in 
a place called Los Maritos. These placers were 
abandoned for want of water, but as soon as 
the rainy season sets in they intend to recom¬ 
mence digging. In the valley of San Rafael it 
was reported that an Indian found gold on the 
: surface, and that he had brought in near a 
j pound to San Rafael. If the discoveries of gold 
J prove true, Lower California may hope for bet- 
: ter things in future. 
Oregon. —The Oregonian, of October 16,says: 
T. G. Robinson, Esq., of this city, returned a 
| few days since from a visit to east fork of Lewis 
j River. Mr. Robinson brought with him some 
| fine specimens of gold, which he obtained by 
j pan washing, only one day’s ride from Van- 
[ couver. 
Capt. Olney and party had returned to the 
Dalles, finding it impossible to get a fight with 
the Indians. 
A University is to be built at Corvallis. Con¬ 
tracts for the stone and brick have been given. 
Washington Territory. —Dates from Olym¬ 
pia, Puget’s Sound, are to Oct. 15. 
The steamer Major Tompkins arrived at 
Olympia on the 9th of October, from Victoria, 
Vancouver’s Island, with news of the English 
fleet that had been engaged in the attack on 
Pctropoloski. The President, the Pique, and 
the Virago, arrived at Esquimau, Vancouver’s 
Island, on the 5th of September. 
Sandwich Islands. —Mr. Miller, the British 
Consul General at Honolulu, in his speech be¬ 
fore the King and Privy Council, Sept. 18, took 
occasion to say that he should protest against 
the annexation of the Sandwich Islands to the 
United States. 
On the evening of the 25th ultimo, the first 
President of Oahu College, Mr. E. Q. Beckwith, 
was inaugurated at the Court House. 
Australia. —Sydney dates are to Aug. 15th. 
The receipt ot gold for the fortnight ending 
August 1, was 10,450 ounces. Tho total export 
(since the 1st of January, probably,) had been 
£6,777,501, or equal to $33,000,000.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
The steamer Geo. Law, from Aspinwall, arrived at New 
York November 24th, having on board $1,567,544, and the 
America from Boston on the 22d, took out $564,227 in gold 
bars and .£1,050 in sovereigns. The Atlantic, on Satur¬ 
day last, also exported $262,000. The aggregate of gold 
exported for 1854 to the presentdate is $36,901,000 against 
$23,966,000 to same time in 1853. Tho import of Foreign 
Merchandise for the calendar year, by the semi-offlciai 
weekly returns to the present date, is $166,373,000, against 
$174,866,000 to same date last year. 
Money is tighter in New York than it has been for a long 
time previous, and the effects arc disastrous on business 
there and elsewhere 
In this city it is stated that one or two firms extensively 
engaged in iron manufactures, have stopped payment. It 
is rumored that a meeting of officers of the several Banks 
in this city was held on Saturday, with a view to more 
ammicabla relations among themselves during the present 
money pressure. 
Stocks are lower generally than they have been since 
the panic a few months since. Erie reached SIM 1 ?' cent., 
and Central New Ycik, the lowest ever yet touched, 75)4.

ton.” Together with “ Washington’s Farewell Address,” 
“ Constitution of the United States,” and the “ Declara¬ 
tion of Independence.” 
The following are a few of the strong recommendations 
of the Press: 
The getting up of this nice volume was a happy thought. 
It awakens and invigorates the noblest patriotic senti¬ 
ments, and, withal, fortifies patriotism by Bible religion. 
The volume opens with Washington’s Farewell Address, 
among the richest legacies ever bestowed by a patriot upon 
his country; and then follows, in prose and poetr} 7 , the 
happiest and most soul-stirring appeals to the reason and 
hearts of Americans, warning them of the danger of foreign 
influence adverse to their free institutions, and exciting to 
sleepless vigilance in their perpetuation. 
The book gives a clear exhibition of what the “ Know- 
Nothings ” are ; shows the necessity for such aa associa¬ 
tion ; and excites an earnest hope that they may be pre¬ 
served and prospered as the life-guard of civil and religious 
liberty.— Christian Advocate and Journal. 
~Tkis is a sterling annual, full of living truth which must 
be commended by every editor who is not a Jesuit at heart, 
and find a response in the soul of every lover of American 
soil and institutions. Every page in it is of sterling value, 
and should be committed to memory, and handed down 
from father to child. The matter in such a bopk is its own 
best adornment. Washington and all the worthies follow¬ 
ing after him, here speak in the living present, and poets 
of the soul set to glowing measure the glories of our 
Protestant birthright.— Albany Spectator.
