NOTHING FROM THE CRIMEA OR ASIA. — Cotton and Breadstuffs Drooping ‘ Consols 88 5-8 a 88 8-4, &o., Haurax, Jan, 8, 1866. ‘The #toumship Canada, Captain Stone, from Liverpool at 10 o'clock A. M., on Saturday the 224 ult., arrived here at 121; o’elcck to-day, and sailed at 3.20 P. M., with \ a stiff bree from the southeast, accompanied with snow, for Boston, where she will be due early om Thursday morning. ‘The Cacada sailed at 3:30 P.M., with e stiff breeze from the southeast, accompanied with anow, for Boston, where she wiil be due early on Thursday morning. fhe brings Liverpool dates of Saturday, the 224 ult., three days Inier than these received by the Arago, at New York. ‘The steamship Washington, from New ;York, arrived off the Wexer on the 2st, and put back to Southampton, after landing the mails and passengers, as the ice pre- vented her reacbing Bremen, ‘The news by this arrival is simply confirmatory of the previous advices, with the usual complement of peace rumors and speculations upon the result of Count Ester- hary’s mission to St. Petersbary A defensive treaty between Sweden and the Western Powers had certainly Bape metitied. ‘There is no news of Simgertance from the Crimea and Ania, and in both places affairs were in statu quo. A languid tone prevailed, in the Liverpool cotton market, and prices, although not quotably lower, were \ rather easier than at the departureZof the Pacific. The * week's businees was restricted to about 36,000 bales. In breadstuffs but little speculative demand existed, and a slight decline upon the previous week’s quotations had taken place. Messrs. Brown, Shipley & Co. quote Weatern Canal flour at 42s. per bbl. Provisiows generally were quiet, but s slightly im- proved cemand in some articles is reported. In the London money market rather more stringency wad observable, Consols were a trifle lower than on the departure of the Arago, the closing rates for money and account being 8B, 0 88 &o., &. THE WAR. STATE OF NEGOTIATIONS. ‘The present position of peace prospects is this: —It may be remembered that Austria made a suggestion of cortain terms not known to the public, whieh the Austrian Ca- Dinet considered might constitute a basis for pasific nege- tations. These suggestions Austria sent to Paris through the French Minister at Vienna. The French government sentacopy of said suggestions to London. Much cor- reepondence ensued between London and Paris, resulting in the original puggestions being sent back, altered by France aad England, to Vieans. ‘The Ausizian Cabinet expressed mortification that the suggestions were not adopted sipliciter, Moro corres- poudence ensued, resulting in Austria agresing to ap- pend her name, jointly with Franee and England, to the modified proposals, The proposition thus amendel, was on Sunday, Nec. 16—as notified by the Arago—sent from Vienna in charge of Count Vsterhazy to St. Petersburg. *The contents of this ultimatum are kept profoundly se- cret, if the Crar refuses, France and England threaten to continue the war, and Austria to cease diplomatic re- lations and afterwards to be governed by the course of events. . Simmultancously with the transmission of peace pro- poral: to Rursia, the Paris Moniieur publishes the treaty entered fio Letween the allies and Sweden, guaranteeing the existing limits of Sweden against Ruasian aggression. As Rnesia does not at present threaten Sweden, this ill- timed tieaty may be viewed by Russia as an intentional insult and a cause for the rejection of the peace proposals. The terms of the treaty are yory stringent. It ts do- clared that the treaty is concluded to prevent every com lication of « nuture to trouble the balance of power in Europe, Hy article Ist the King of Sweden engages himself not to cece to Russia, nor to exchange with her, noc allow her to occupy, any portion of the territory belonging to the crown of Sweden and Norway. He engsgos, more- er, not to cede to Russia any right of pasturage or fishirg ground, or of any other nature whateoever, of the said terzitories, orof the coast of Sweden and Norway, and to reject any pretension Ruséla might raise to estab- lish the existence of any of the above named rights. Ar ticle eecond stipulates that, in case Russia should make any proposition to the King of Sweden, or any demand with a view to obtain either the cession or exchange of any portion whatever of the territory belonging to the crowns of Sweden ard Norway, bo it permission * to occupy certain points of said territory or the ceasion of fishing or pasturage rights, or of any other on thee Buine territories, or on the coast of Sweden and Norway =-the King of Sweden engages to communicate imme” diately such proposition to the Emperor of France and Queen of England; and they engage to provide Sweden swith suiticient naval and military forces, with thove of Sweden, to resist the claims or aggressions of [Russia The nature, the importance, and the destination of the forces in question, shall, the case occurring, be decided by a common agreement between the throe Powers, A secret clause is appended to the troaty, providing for Sweden eventually taking the field against Rustin. Vienna private correspondence intimates that the Aus- trian government declined an invitation made by Prussia on the 7th of September to join Prussia In _@ pas tervention; also, that Napoleon refused the invita! + Prussia, conveyed by Baron Prokesch to Paris, to open negutiations, but that in the middle of November Count Huol, in the name of Austria, invited the Western Pow- ers to re-open at Paris the peace conference of Vienna, recommending also that the gunrantees shall be Maintained aa the basis of negotiations, but that the third point of guarantee respecting Russian domination in the Black Sea should be modified. ueala ‘has uot replied to the proporal, but would send represent- atives to the conference. Hence has arixen the ramor that the Austrian Anglo-French Proposal is meroiy to de. fine the meaning of the third point, snd that 1f au under- standing be come to,the Vienva Conference, #0 called, will be reopened in Paris, in the middle of January. It is stated that the Swedish Ambassador at Vienas. has formally announced to the Austrian governmont that Sweden ad- heres to the Allies” interpre'ation of the four points. It ix also stated that Count Stackelberg had brought to Vi- enna a Russian pro for peace, in terms different trom those propos by tho Allies. This, however, is doubtful. The Evglsh government is raid to have demanded an éxplanation from the Court of Vienna as; to the inten- sion of Austria in reducing tho Austrian army. The Army Board of that country is solling no fewer than seventy thousand horses. ‘The present position of af fairs may be thus expressed. France is lesa peaceful and England less warlike than they seem. 9 London Daily News says & majority of the French ‘Cabinet think Austria will acooot the terms proposed, and a majority of the English ministry think not. THE PRINCIPALITIES. Rumor says that the projected conferences for a settle- ent of vhe Principalities are indefivitely adjourned. Count Coronini will resume the command of the Aus- trian a:my there. AFFAIRS IN THE CRIMEA. A hur:feane had occurred in the Crimea, Tho Tebier- naya river had overflowed it» banks, doing considerable damper, ‘There ix nothing Jater than General Codrington’s hi of the 4th, saying that the Russtans continued ire heavily from the north wide, without doing much The ground was covered ‘with snow. Savings sbanks ace to be opened in the British army. ASIA, Thero are few additional particulars concerning the gurrerder of Kara, which took place on the 28th of No- veruber. On November 14th General Monravieif sum- moned the garrivon to surrender. General Williams hold @ council of war on the 15th, and after the council the garrison sont @ fag of true, asking ten days’ auspen- gion of how #, and permission to send a cou tier to Mivzeroum. General Mouraviell offered to grant an honorable capitulation, and allowed an English cap- tain (Thorson) to go to Erveroum, Thomson returned fran Vrveroum, and reached Kars on the 24d. Gonenct ‘Willisme thon demanded an interview with Mouravielf {. the 24th.

A (open- bagen letter says that only two States have ea yet pro nounced in favor of Deomark’s viewa—namely, Russia and Mochlenberg.

The London Times’ city article, dated Friday evening, fays a temporary diminution of confidence in the result of the mission of Count Esterhazy to St. Petersburg caused consols to opea at a reaction of one quarter per cent from the improved rates of yesterday. The amount of business throughout the day was snail, but the demand for money was generally active. The present returns of the stock of the Bank of England contain the result of the increased amount of circulaticn recently granted by the order in Council. In pursuance of the terms of the Bank act, the amount of securitics in the issue depart: ment is now £14,475,000, and the increase of £475,000 has been takem from the government securities held in the Bank Knlargement, which would otherwise have been precisely the same as in the previous return. The letters from Paris to-day state that the exchange on London continues flat, but that the pressure for money has slightly subsided. ‘The war budget of the kingdcm of Sardinia, just pre- rented to the Piedmontese Chambers, fixes the expenses of the war during 1865 and 1866, at 74,290,632 francs, in- cluding 11,386,401 francs for the navy. The Invalides Russe contains @ despatch from General Mouravietf. He reports that he has taken possession of one hurdred and thirty cannon, large stores of ammuni tion, und standards, with 10,000 prisoners, besides thos already reporte!—6,000 being Turkish regulars and 4,00!

The bullion in the Bank of Fogland haa inereised £226,000 during the week, but the bank had on hand two anda half millions of the last Turkish loan to export in gold; this, and the absence of gold arrivals, and some shipments of specie {rom the bank, caused an active de- mand for money and rather more stringoney.

Grand Sachem. The hall was handsomely decorated for the occasion. On entering, the visiter found the hall a perfect wilder- ness of flygs snd waving pennens, the most conspicuous of which were of course the American colors, ‘To the left, onapproaching the staircase, was the I'rench tri- color; and to the right hung x huge crescent, on a green ground—the Turkish national fleg. The ball room made a very brilliant appearance, from the numbericss flags that adorned it. Vari colored streamers hung from the princtpal chandelier and were run along the ceiling to different parts of the room. The colors of nearly every nation were represented in the flags that hung from the walls; nor wns the Union Jack of Great Britain forget- ten. ‘At the head of tke room, in large capitals, were the words:— peowreree ores: THR UNION MUST AND SHALL BE PRISKRNED.

Among the attractions of the evening was a committee room where the “braves” indulged in fire water, which was secved upin the shape ot nice brandy punches, though the more democratic young Tammanyites found their way to the barrooma, where they made away with " zantity of euriops compounds known as whis- key aking, rum toddies) and gin slings. By nine o’clock a sufficient number had arrived to Justify the formation of sets for dancing, which was then commenced, snd continued with apirit’ for the rest of the evening. ‘Tho diversity of the dancing programme was such that the peculiar saltatorial proclivities of alt participating in the festive eoenea could not but have been fully satia- fied. The floor wax under the aitentive and judicious management of Douglas Taylor, Faq., ssainted by a com- petent esmmittee. At ten o’clock the floor manager announced that the Tammany “ceiety intended to march through the rooms; when the dancing was suspended for that coremony to be gone through with. The doors were then thrown open, and the fachems entored, headed by the Sagamore, Captain Miles, bearing a Wberty cap, and followed by the “rand Sachem, J.. B. Shepard, and the Council and invie ed guests. On reaching the eeatro of the room the Grand Sachem was called upon and spoke ws follows:— Ino-Tinmy—It hos been customary with this nociety to aeemblo together for the purpose of colebraticg the pa- triotic memories which cluster around the heart of every lever of lis country, from the organization of the consti- uition to the present day. There is bo principle con- nected with the developement of true government—no one singly elewent of republican institutions—no single act which is used either by way of memory, or in its di- rect application in the business of men, to pro mulgate republican principles—which kas not re- ceived the hearty support of this society, Many departed illustrious patriota have been mem- hers’ of this organization, and in their day they assembled to commemorate those historical facta whion thoy deemed glorious to the country, and calculated to inereuse among men the love of ropublican principles Here, around us and above us, we ee the arma of thi sovereign Stated, the portraita of living and dead patri- ots, the ilag of our country—everything, in short, which can Inspire patriotic motives.

Ladies and gentlemen, I will now give way to more interesting performacees. When Mr. Resnolds soncluded, the gurtain rose ono of the mos? impressive and picturesque scensa ‘waa Ove? presented in the Academy of Music. Thirty-two young ladies, dressed in white and wearipg scarfs wits the natioral colors, and emblazoned with stars, oceu- nied the stage in the form of a semi-circle, and guarded vy two companies of the Continental Guards. In the centre of theee was Mies Virginia Dingley, ina dreas rimilar to that which the Genius of Liberty i8 supposed to wear, and bearing in her hand a wand crowned with the cap of Liberty. The scene represented an immense tent, under which were gathered the thirty-two young ladies, thirty-one of whom represented the thirty-one States, the thirty-second being intended to per- ronify the presiding goemus of the republic, This young lady sang a patriotic ode dedicated to the club by Augustine Daganne, and in the chorus of which she was nssiated by the rest. The fal- l.wing verse will give a pretty ciear idea of the compoal-- tion:— A voice o’er the land goes forth— ‘Tia the voice of a nation free! To the East,\and the West, and the South, and the Neti. Rolling on ike the sounding sea! ‘Tis the voice of the free! "Tis the shout of the true! And they swear by the flag Of the red, white and blue, To be true to the Union forever! [Symphony.} Do ye hear whatit saith? [Symphony.] By the buglo’s breath! [Symphony.} To be true to Union forever! The ode was well sung, and the audience wore se pleared with it, that Miss Dingley was compelled to re- peat It in complinnce with a unanimous encore. When the cartain felithe Hon. A. B. ELy, of Massachusetts, was introduced. He spoke substantially aa followa:— Tacies and Gentiernen—I am glad to stand here om the national ground of New York. I am proud of my lané—a land where the Pilgrims first trod upon our shores. T shatl not discuss colors here; I thank Go@ that no slave treads the soil of Massachusetta; 1 yield to no man in my devotion to the Union, but I go for justice and right against the world.
