Breadstuffs Lower--Cotton Dull--Consols 91 3-4, &e., &o., &o. By the arrival of the United States mail steamship Union, Capt. Adama, we have dates from Havre to the 21st, and Southampton and London to the 22d ult. The Union experienced very heavy weather the last four or five days. The following is an oxtract from the log of the Union: Tuesday,,Nov. 28, at noon, latitude 47 10, longitude 30 40, passed the ship Pampero, of St. John, abandon- ed, with rudder gone, and waterlogged, apparently lum- ber loaded. The London Times of ih reports the safe arrival of crew, they having abandoned her on the 24 November. Friday, Dec. 1, at 6 P. M., latitude 46, lon- gitude 46 20, spoke the ship Victoria, from Liverpool to New York. Thursday, 7th, at3 P. M., fell in, off Nan- tucket, with schr. Helen Maud, of Halifax, from Fal- mouth, Jamaica, loaded with fruit, for New York; re- petts Naving experienced heavy weather; had been out thirty-six days, and was short of provisions, with which we supplied her. The United States mail steamer Washingten, Captain Cavendy, arrived off Cowes, on her way to Bremen, on the 19th. The Cunard steamer Niagara, from Boston and Halifax, reached Liverpool the same day. The Pacific arrived at Liverpool at 2 A. M. on the 22d ult. Lord Raglan has been raised to the rank of Field | Marshal, Lord Palmerston had arrived in Paris and had daily interviews with the Emperor, Louis Napoleon. Lord Dudley Stuart died at Stockholm on the 17th November. THE WAR. A despatch from Balaklava of the 7th November, re- ceived via Vienna, states that reinforcements for the allies were arriving at the rate of # thousand men daily, and they were overjoyed at the arrival of these anxiously expected detachments. Both armies had completed their third parallels,which were connecteil to- gether by means of a trench. The allies were oblized to formcountermines. ‘The miner town was strougly bar- ricaded. The Russian news states that the allies having re- ceived considerable reinforcements on the 6th, 7th and Sth, made a demonstration against the left fank of the | Russians. The latter retired from the plateau to the right bank of the Tchernaya. Fifteen thousand men of the garrison of Kichenoff had | marched to Odessa. Prince Paskewitsch has ordered another corps of 20,000 men to the Crimea. A despatch from Prince Men schikoff, dated Sebastopol, | November 12, states that at that date the bombardment | continued. The allies (he says) had not advanced on | their operations since the Sth, and were still fortifying their lines im the rear of Balaklava. Gen. Liprandi was wounded on the 5th. | Fuller details of the battle of the Sth of November, } called the battle of the Inkermann, had been received by the arrival of the steamer Telamanque at Marseilles: They state that the attacking force of the Russians was 25,000 men. The British batteries weee taken and re. taken several times, At noon the Russians made a sor- tie from Sebastopol against the French position, but were repulsed. ihey were also repulsed ultimately to- wards inkermann, after a bloody battle, which lasted eight hours. Their loss was 9,000 killed and wounded. General Canrobert was wounded. The English loss was very great; four Generals—Cathcart, Strangways, Goldie and Torrens—were killed; and four wounded—Brown, Bentinck, Baller and Adams. 98 officers were killed, 96 were wounded, and two were missing; 442 rank and file killed; 1,700 wounded, and 156 were missing. The Guards alone lost 20 officers. The French had one Ge- neral killed and two wounded; 14 officers killed and 21 wounded. The Russians, it is said, fired on the wounded, as well as on the detachments sent out to bury the dead on the 7th. The Russians were pouring in large masses from the north, and reinforcements were required. The French accounts state that everything was pre- pared for the agsault, but the allies bad determined to postpone it till the arrival of reinforcements. Prince Napoleon had left the camp, owing to the state of his health. The Duke of Cambridge was slightly wounded. Adespatch from Vienna states that the Russian en- voy, Gortchakoff, bas intimated to the Austrian Cabinet that Russia is willing to negotiate a peace on the basis of the four guaranteed conditions. The despatch of reinforcements té the seat of war con tinued without intermission. Every available steamship was taken up by the government for the purpose, and it is stated in the London Times that the British govern ment is now paying at the rate of three millions stefling per annum for the cRarter of steamers alone, besides the cost of fuel. The Niagara and Arabia having been taken up by the government, the Cunard Company had issued a notice that no vessel belonging to their line would leave Liverpool till the 9th December, after which date the communication would be every alternate Saturday. The Collins line was to change their days of sailing after the departure of the steamer of 20th November, from Wed- nesday to Saturday, in order that the commerce of both sides of the Atlantic might be inconvenienced as little as possible, The West India and Brazilian lines of mail steamers were also to be temporarily interrupted ‘The British War Office has issued a circular calling upon all the embodied as weil av disembodied militia to give as many volunteers as possible to the regiments of guards and the line, and to the royal marines. {lhe alarm in England seemed to be subsiding as to the pesition of the allied armies in the Crimea, which, with the reinforcements arriving, were deemed to be sufti- ciently strong to carry out the object of the sampaign successfully. A winter campaign in the Crimea will evi dently take place, and wooden barracks for twenty thowsand men were being shipped by the British gov- ernment. A despatch from Hamburg states that a Russian squadron of fourteen war steamers made « recon naissance as far as Dagoe without encountering any war ships of the allies. The main ody of the Britieh fleet was at Kielon the 20th. Tne Rumored Acceptance of the Peace Pro. tions by the Czar. {From the London Times, Nov. 22.) If it be true, as is stated im the correspondence which has reached us from Berlin and from Vienna, that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg has announced its consent to accept the four conditions of the Note of the 8th of August as @ basis of negotiation, there can be no diffi- culty in penetrating the motive of such a communica- tion at the present time. We have very litile doubt that either at the recent interview of the Russian Minister at Vienna with Count Buol, or through the Austrian Minis- ter it. Petersburg, an intimation of this kind has ac- tually been: » the reports which hav» been ciren- lated on this subject for the last.few daye were probably set on foot by Russian agents, in order to prepare the public for A step on the of thir If } Emperor Nicholas proceeded from # sincere and deliber ate intention to relinquish all the pretensions which have led to this war, and to submit to the establish- ment of an entirely now order of thing solid guarantees, in the relations of Ru Porte, in the Principalities, in the navi Danube, and upon the Black Sea, we should undoubtedly | hail with satisfaction a change fo the policy of Russia calculated to lead to the termination of this sanguis coptest. But we haye not the slightest reason to be- lieve that any such disposition exists on the partof the Russian government, and the only object that we can discover in such a communication, if it has been made, | in to afford fresh materials for that logomachy in which the casuiste of Germany delight, and to paralyze as long as wible the military action of the Court of Vienna. This hypothetical acceptance of the four points haa for some time past en regarded and described by the small fry of German diplomatists as the contingency which was to limit the independence and repress the activity of the leading Powers. ‘oct ase bas already been made of this manceuvre by the nuts baer who profess to be acting in the name of ox three cf the minor German courts, and we are by ue means surpriced (o find that (Le Kessian government is now enden: to avail iteelf of the trap it has laid. One of the questions which has been put in various forms to A by the other German States, caballing inst her was whether, in the eveut of Russia's ac cepting the four points, she would bind herself to ab- | atain from hostilities, and even throw her weight against the Western Powers.’ The cabinet of Vienna positively refused to contract any such engagement, the effect of which must have been to tie hor dowa to the system of neutrality by the mere acceptance of certain general | propositions by Russia tenor of the Lge se itions contained in M. | Drowyn de Lhuys' note of the 8th of August was nece: sarlly indefinite, for, although they established t! leading principles for which the Western Powers are con- tending, they ‘aia not define the application of those princi t, it was felt, could only be done by the practical results of the war. The conditions are there- fore open to great latitude of interpretation on both sides, and, moreover, it was expressly provided by | France and England, and by ‘Austuls, herself, that they were in no respect to be taken as a bar to any further claims or stipulations arising out of the progress of hos- tilities. They contained, in fact, the minimum of con. cession, without which no negotiation could be opened, | but they left a wide margin for the circumstances and considerations which could not fail to arise in the pre- sent agitated condition of the East of Europe. In ex- pressing her readiness to accept these terms as the basis of negotiation Russia gives no firm or precise guarantee to the other Powers, for everything depends on the meaning she consents to affix to these propositions. The world bas not yet forgetten ono memorable instance in the course of these negotiations, in which Russia an- nounced her acceptance of the terms prescribed by the Vienna note; but, as was afterwards shown by a des- patch addressed to one of her own diplomatic agents, accepted that note in a sense hardly differing fro the original demauds of Prince Menschikof himsel and with such reservations and perverted construction: of its meauing as led to ita entire rejection by the vey persons who had framed the document. If, therefore, it be said that Russia is prepared to accept the four points contained in the Note of the 8th of August, we may fairly require to be told in clear and accurate lan- guage whether ahe accepts the abrogation of her form: treaties with the Porto, the es:ablishment of a joint | Protectorate in the Principalities instead of her former separate convention, the bona fide opening of the Danube, and the revision of the Convention of 1841, with a view to the limitation of her maritime power in the Black Sea. | ‘The loose and obscure language in which diplomatists | are not unfrequently wont to hide their real meaning is | only @ screen for equivocation, and expressions 6n which the peace of mankind may hereafter depend cannot be too clear and peremptory. The alleged acceptance of these propositions by Russia , Of course, not addressed either directly or indirectly to the Western States, but only to Austria, by whom alone they were originally communicated to St. Peters- burg. Whatever may be the value of such a declaration. it is impossible to doubt that its principal, if not its sole ovject, is to prolong that state of neutrality which has thus far secured to Russia all she conld hope to obtain from the German Powers, and, if possible, to divest thyt neutrality of the armed and mencaing character it has Aspamed on the side of Aus Like the evacuation of the Principalities three months ago, this apparent con- coggion is no doubt made by Russia to counteract the’ tendency of the Court of Vienna to a nearer connexion with the Western Powers ; and it may serve at least to bring the sincerity of the Austrian government to the test. It is impossible that the Cabinet of Vienna can be the dupe of so palpable a manceuvre; aml we cannot doubt that Count Buol, who bas hitherto resisted and dofeated an interminable series of Russian intrigues, is perfectly aware of the amount of confidence tobe placed in an overture of this nature. Lt, therefore, this communication was rogarded or repre- sented at Vienna ay the basis of any tangible negotia- tions for peace, we should be led to fnfer that the Aus- trian M uisters were, after all, only waiting for some specious pretext to prolong their neutrality at the ex- pense of the great interests of Europe. If, on the con- trary, Austria is resolved to persevere in the course of | yeltey she has professed to pursue, this attempt of cinssia to entice and amuse her with fresh negotiations | will only accelerate her determination. In either case, the decision of Austria on such a point can in no way | ct the course of the belligerent Powers. ‘o those who are deeply and earnestly engaged in this at struggle there is something puerile and even re- iting in the officious attempts of a crowd of puny in- | | | triguers to sway the head-long train of human affairs | } this way oj that at their bidding. The questions which | | unis war has opened or called into being are of a mag- situde andg-ravity which these interlopers cannot com- prebend, for they involve the relative position and power of the three greatest empires of the world the futore condition of a fourth empire, which can neither return to its former state nor remain in its | vesent one, We ean foresee no prospect of peace until ie forlune of war nat esis wae t fluence of Aaussia, ov that of md and France is hereafier to j reponderate in the affairs of the Kast and of Europe. ‘hat is a dispute which negotiation will not terminate, cspecially at a moment when the contest is raging with uimost earnestness against the stronghold of Ras- lan power; aud the fate of the allied armies before vebastopol is the event which will hereafter determine the course of negotiation.

Yesterday was an extremely cold and disagreeable day here, snd little was done outside the halls of Con- gress but to nurse the blazing fires and discuss the Ostend conference. In the House of Representatives, too, this was the exciting topic of debate, arising out of Mr. Sollers’ resolution calling on the President for the facts in relation to this unprecedented, though pro- bably a very proper meeting, of American ministers in the very heart of Europe. What is strange, though, is the tremendous effort made by the friends of the ad- ministration to stave off and defeat the resolution. It is wad that the whole affair ‘‘is the silliest nonsense ever got up by the press by way of feeding the popular appetite for wonders.’’ If this be so, why not let the resolution pass, and give the President an opportunity to expose? Why attempt to gag him when the “ po- pular appetite” is craving an explanation? Why per- mit the Executive to rest under the suspicion of having acted improperly—ah! even imprudently—whea a word from him in reply to the resolution would instantly dis- sipate it? In this action the President may well say “save me from my friends,” if the Ostend conference be “ the silliest nonsense ever got up.'’ The truth of the matter is, the meeting of Messrs. Mason, Soule avd Buchanan was one of their own concocting for tu pubhe good, to confer and interchange opinions on inat- ters of foreign policy, in view of the present unsettled state of Europe. Such a conference might have beea dcemwed very proper, and was 4 matter conceruing only their own government, and one with which no other government had any business to meddle or fret them- selves about; and for my lite I cannot perceive why the tiiends of the President wish to cover up or conceal a ything connected with it. ‘The *Soulé Correspondence”? accompanying the Pre- dent's mesi is quite volumin and breathes war—war to the kmfe—on every page. The fiery in- discretion of the Frenchman characterizes it through- out; but as I presume you have it, I will let it speak for itself. Rest assured that Soulé will not be recalled, but will be continued at Madrid, and will continue to keep things ina stew. Mr. Marcy opposed his appoint. ment in the first place, and has condemned his impru- dent course ever since; but all this will not shak in the confidence ot the President. {Correspondence of the North American.] WaAsmincro, Dec. 6, 1854. The Know Nothings in Gongress—Pennsylvania and Lilinois Poittics, de. Mr. Adams, of Mississippi, to-day introduced a bill into the Senate for the repeal of the naturalization laws. Mr. Adams is a democrat and a Mississippian. If he were only a Pennsylvanian it would be thought proper, safe and judicious, as a fanatical federal whig abolition: ist, carried away by a transient “ism’? of the day; but being just the reverse of all this, and having, by’ more force of location, a prescriptive title to all that is con. servative and patriotic, we are curious to hear what terms of condemnation’ the official censor, sometimes called the Pierce organ, will eraploy in reproving him this startling aberration from the practice and faith of his party. Yesterday Mr. Taylor, of Tennessee, a remarkably modest, useful and unobtrusive whig member from fen- nessee, gave notice of a bill for the same object, where- upon the orgenist projects the following reflection :-— “Mr. Taylor is one of the few Southern men who voted at the last session against the Kansas and Nebraska bill. He is a whig and # Methodist preacher. He represents a district which probably has in it fewer foreigners and Roman Catholics than any other in the whole Union. These are igniticant facts, which will excite observation, and such a constituency.” There must be something wrong about such a man; | and if, with such antecedents and such a constituency, he is to be held up to suspicion and reproach, what mea: sure of censure can be adequate to a Nebraska democrat, like Adams, who springs forward with precipitate alacrity to aid in the same unholy work ? The inajority against the proposition ordering a stand- ing committee to report a bill for releasing railroad iron from duty, was twenty-six, ona full yote, That is an excellent sign, and I trust it may be regi as a proof of the fixed determination of this Congress not to meddle with the iron duties. Ge n Cameron, © is here ; aud i by the jun end smoked the pips of peace with antogonists, so that he would gratifying intelligence. There are anti-Cameronian demo- crats who will never yield their opposition to that en: | Heman, not only beceuse they dy pot like him, bat pe- y cause they intend to be candidates for the Se: li themselves. ‘There is, for example, Gen. Jolin L. Dawson, who has pretensions at least as’ strong as Cumeron’s, and who stands upon the Homestead hill as his platform of prac tical democracy, ani his capital in business. He ha just got out 2 new edition of it, to wi he yesterday called the attention of the House, and which he will continue to offer until disposed of. ' The Homestead, the way, bas lost its novelty, and with that its popula ity. think it may be now thrown aside as political limber. The Douglas democrats are struggling very hard to extract some comfort out of the Illinois election. Rich- ardson passed through the seat of government on h way hither, and says that Allen, Nebraska democrat, i y of one over Archer, whig, by the official | returns, The whig newspapers say the one majority is | on the other side. The Legislature is anti-democratic | by adecided majority, that is, by a good, convenient, working majority. There isa prospect which amounts to a reasonable certainty, not only that Shields will be | defeated, but that resolations will be adopted which will compel Douglas to resign or to swallow all thet he has | heretofore avowed on the responsibility of a Senator to his constituents. But that he can easily do. A more important point, however, has been election. The Senators now chosen will vote in the clec tion of a successor to Douglas. It will be necessary to gain but five more in the three intervening years, to se- cure a majority against him. The election of seven such is held to be certain. con at short being 15.334, it follows that gold is 0.30 per | cent dearer in Hamburg than in London. ‘The course of | exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days’ | right i#4093/ per cent, and the par of exchange between | England and America being 109 23-40 per cent, it follows | chat the exchange is nominally 0.17 per cent in favor of | Fogland: and, after making allowance for charges of trans- | port and difference of interest, the psesent rate leaves a trifling profit on the importation of gold from the United | states, The English funde have again shown increased trmness, although an advance which occurred in the morning was not maintained. Consols for money opened at the quotation of last evening—namely, 9134 to 5g and under the influence of speculative purchases, well as of some demand for stock on the part of the public, advanced to 917;. The uccounte of the severe Joxs of officers sustained at the battle of Inkermann then produced dulness, and there was a return to the opening | price, but the market at the clos? still had a good ap- | vearance. For the 7th of December bargains took place during the day at 92 to }/, and the last quotation was | 91; to %.

The corn market at Mark lane on the 20th was less buoyant, and wheat could not be cleared off, although offered atan abatement of 2s. per quarter. Little was done in foreign wheat. Flour moved off slowly, and n barrels were rather lower. Barley 2s. lower; to Is. verpool corn market wheat was difficalt to to 4d, per 70 Ibs. decline. Indien corn 1s. Flour 1s, per bbl. lower. . The reports from the English manufactaring districts show a continued tendency to inactivity and caution. At Matehester the demand was less than the supply and prices were lower.

On Thursday, Nov. 30, betweea J and 4 P.M, tho temperature fell from 36 vo 32 degrees, the freezing point of Ferenheit. This morning at 3 o'clock, with a cloudy thy, the cold passed ‘vom the eighth to the ninth sec- tion of the great c! ate temperatere of 14 degrees above xero, (north). There have been two perturba. tions within the bounds of this cold cycle; the ficst was on Sunday, Dec. 3, when, from 11 A. M. to2 P.

A regular monthly meeting of the hard shell commit tee was held om Thursday night last, at the Stuyvesant Institute—Erastus W. Glover in the chair, and Peter B. Sweeney officiating as secretary. After calling the meet- | ing to order, it was found that the roll and the minutes of the previous meeting were missing; but this was re- medied by » motion dispensing with both, Another mo- tion was passed appointing a committee of five to draft «call for the primary election, which is to be held on the 18th inst. This is for the purpose of electing a gen- eral and ward committee for the ensning year. On the adoption of the motion, the committee retired, and after ap absence of about fifteen mimutes returned with port directing the General Committee to make the nece: -y arrangements for th® holding of the primary clec- tion at the above date. In thia report they recominended the appointment, by the General Committee, of all the ward committees, in opposition to the usual custom hereto. fore practiced ot electing them in -the different wards. The discussion which followed the reading of the report was very warmand excited, arousing the pugnacious propensities of several of the members, many in favor of settling the question by force; but as they were in the minority, they had as little chauce of success by fighting as they had by voting. During the discussion the mecting preeented a scene of tbe greatest confusion and exeltement. Some of the members were jumping about and stamping in the most inturiated manner, and a few of the most belli- gerent clinched and went at one another in the miost approved rough-and-tumble style. The lights were pnt out, and for « few momenta the combatants went at it in the dark, some of the more cunning taking advan. tuge of the confusion to abstract the report, which lay on the table. The scene was similar to that enacted at Ts bysical many Hall in 1852, when Mr. Augustus Schell was $0 ly injured. The causes whieh led to it were the same in many respects; but fortunately the conse. quences were not so serious. Senator Barr was in the midst of theafiray caught by the throat, but the by- standers interfered and put a stop to the fight at once. It appears that the difficulty originated ia the attempts of those who were desirous of producing a fusion, to which the majority were inveterately opposed, and ad- vantage was taken of the opportunity alforded by the presentation of the report referred to. The majority went on with their business, notwithstauding the con. tinued interruptions of the discontented portion of the meeting; and, having adopted the report, adjourned, leaving the minority In possession of the room. After their departure another meeting was called by the mi nority, over which T. P. St. John presided, and for which Messrs. Rolling and Dunn acted as secretaries, A committee of five was appointed, independent an soparate from that previously appointed By the majori- ty at the preceding meeting, to draft a call more in as cordance with their desires.

SNOW STORM IN PENNSYLVANIA. We were visited on Sunday last by # very severe anew storm. It commenced about seven o'clock in the morn- ing, and continued without intermission until two o'clock at night. The wind, from the beginnes, of the storm te ita termination, blew a violent gale from the northeast. In some parts of the country, we learn that the snow is drifted to the height of seven or eight feet, but the average depth did not, we should judge, exceed fourteem inches.
