ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC

By the United. States Mail steam-ship Baltic, Captain
Comstock, which arrived on Wednesday, we have advices
from New York to the 3d instant. The yellow fever at
New Orleans was still declining, both in the number of
cases and in its malignity. The weather continued favour-
able, and confidence in the abatement of the epidemic was
increasing daily.
The Cubans in New York had commemorated the anni-
versary of the execution of General Narciso Lopez, which
took piace- in Havana, on the Ist of September, 1851.

Another extensive gathering had beeil held in the Metro-
politan-hall, composed, according to the New York Herald,
of the disciples of the Maine Liquor Law in general, and
of Lucy Stone in particular, the great new lights of the
age and the revolutionizers of society.
One million of dollars have been subscribed by the citi-
zens of Savannah, for the purpose of constructing an air
line of railroad from that place to Mobile, with a branch to
Florida.
Measures are being devised, at Cincinnati, for the im-
peachment of Judge Flinn, who some days ago remanded
to their masters three slaves, after they had been landed
upon the wharf, against the express wishes of those
having them in charge.
The Georgia, from Panama and Aspinwall, had arrived
at New York, bringing one million three hundred thou-
sand dollars of gold-dust on freight, and about a quarter
of a million in the hands of the passengers ; but no news
of importance.
Winchinden, Mass., has been visited by a terrific tornado
from the south-west ; its track was 120 feet wide, and
four miles long. Many buildings have been injured and
destroyed.

A despatch from New Orleans states that the crops are
in a favourable condition. According to the annual state-
ment, the total value of produce received at New Orleans
during the year was $134,000,000, including $68,250,000
in cotton and $15,500,000 in sugar. The amount of cotton
received was 1,665,000, and the exports 1,645,000.

enthusiastic reception.

town-hall of Ghent, of the birth of a child whose mother
was only 13 years of age and the father 14.
THE BRIDGE OYES, THE ST. LAWRENCE will be Robt.
Stephenson's greatest bridge achievement, for he has to
contend with difficulties even greater than those at the
Menai Straits. It is to be 24 miles long.

made from the rhubarb plant, has just been established
near Epernay. It is stated that it will manufacture 4,000
to 5,000 bottles a-week, at 45 centimes a bottle.
SERIOUS FEARS appear to be apprehended in Holland
for the day when the new law on public creeds will be
published. It is said that a great protestant and anti-
constitutional manifestation is preparing at Utrecht.
TinrßussrANs AT PEKIN.—It is not generally known
that the Russian Government, for more than a century
and a quarter, has held- at Pekin a religious and scientific -
mission, not " merely tolerated or connived at, but exist-
ing under a formal treaty." This treaty was concluded
on June 14, 1728, between Count Vladislawitsch, Russian
ambassador extraordinary, and the ministers of China.
THE GAVAZZI RIOTS IN AMERICA.—The Hon. Charles
Wilson, Mayor of Montreal, has been arrested, and held

jocularly observed, than he had ever made before in so
short a space of time.
CANADIAN RAILWAYS.—Letters from Canada mention
that the traffic on the Montreal and Portland Railway is
developing itself far beyond the expectations of the most
sanguine. The distance from Montreal to Portland is
290 miles. The Quebec and Richmond line will be ready
for traffic in the spring, which add another 100 miles,
making 390 miles of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada
which will be opened.
COTTON MANUFACTURES IN NEW BRUNSWICK.—A
new branch of business is about to be commenced in this
province, that of a cotton manufactory. Mr. Kingston is
now on his way out in the packet-ship Liberia, with the
necessary machines for carrying on the manufacture of
cotton stuffs. He was for several years the manager of a
large factory in Norway ; and as he contrived to keep his
looms agoing there in the midst of winter, we are confi-
dent he will be able to do so in New Brunswick.—St.
