PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 14.-The Baltic ar
rived at New York to day, bringing Liv-
erpool dates to Nov. 2.
Breadstuffs are generally well sustained
without excitement. The demand for
wheat and flour is mostly for the best quail
tiles. Western canal -four 37s, Ohio SOS.
Great fluctuations exist in the British
funds in consequence of the conflicting
accounts from the East.
The Baltic's news is briefly told. Ev-
erything is enveloped in mistiic alton. A
Vienna dispatch u an armistice
between the Turks and Russians for an
indefinite period.
Another dispatch said that a satisfactory
diplomatic note was or its way to Con-
stantinople. and that the supposed armis-
tice was to allow time for its acceptance.
This further strengthened the funds. But
il was further rumored that the so-called ar
mistice was only a conditional order Of
Omer Pacha not to commence hostilities
until the 1st of November, if they had not
already began. This news depressed the
stock market.
1t was by telegraphic statement. appa-
rently authentic, that the Turks had cross
ed the Danube in great strength and &C.
cupied Kalafat, with an intention to attack
the Russians.
Desperate riots existed at Lancashire.
England, occasioned by a turn out Of OPP
e~ratives and golfers. Much property was
destroyed and the troops had been called
out.
The United States Consul at Tunis died
suddenly.
A Geographic dispatch received from the
Danube, Oct. eth. at Liverpool, on Satur-
day, states that 5000 Of Turkish infantry
and cavalry had crossed the Danube and
taken possession OF Kalafat without resist
ance-more troops were still crossing
the men in barges and swimming their horses.
The Russians were concentrating around
Kalafat to attack them.
The Times has a despatch from Con-
stantinople Of the 22d. stating that the Aus
trian Envoy had submitted TO the Sultan
the draft of a new note from the Four
Powers. which had been accepted by Rus
STA. The Times still thinks that negotia-
tions may prevent a general war.

A Rare Curiosity.

Mr.. Kaldenbaugh, of Dover, showed us the

cattle kind that has, perhaps, ever been exhib.
tied. 1t isa cali, four months old, with a skin
covered with as complete coat of black wool
as any six months Merino lamb of the color
1t is singular little animal, with white face
given it BY nature by way Of ornament. How
Mr.. Kaldenbaugh's muley COW coptrived to
cover it with wool in place Of hair, is mystery
which has not yet been explained by the learn
ed naturalists in that vicinity. Some think it
is sign touching the late high prices in wool,
and that the spectators made bull in the
sheep line, when buying wool on their backs.
Others affirm that black wether. butted of
muley one day from bucket Of bran, when
she retired with the same indignant feeling as
an unpaying loafer elected from a good dinner
table. But the more general opinion is, that
muley some time since poked her nose against
the head of q colored gentleman asleep in q

The Broken Pane.

Aquestion now universally asked in every
society in Paris is, Have you seen the broken
window" ?" 81
This refers to an accident of very extraor-
dnary nature, followed, however, by very
improbable result. which occurred few days
since in the rue de la Bourse. NJ. Molere, a
shoemaker in that street. has had fortune thrust
upon him, by cart knocking against his shop
window. Rather late at night restive horse
backed a cart against the iron shutters of bis
shop-front with such force that pane of plate
glass Immediately behind the part struck was
cracked into thousands Of splinters. NJ. Mo-
Heres first care was TO secure the address of
the owner of the horse and cart, and in the
morning he was about to send for glazier
whose bill he would have charged to the per.
son responsible for the trespass upon his prop
erty but his window was cracked in such a
manner as no window ever was before, and NJ
Moliere observed that every passer-by in the
street stopped to look at it and exclaimed, -
'How curious How extraordinary Z
During the whole day a crowd was collected
in front Of the house. 1t then occurred to Mo-
liere that since his broken window appeared to
possess such attractions for the public, it might
answer to make the public pay for the grati6-
cation Of their curiosity. Accordingly he put
up his outside shutter, and charged one franc
"a head for admittance to his shop. Visitors
flocked to the exhibition, and in few hours
the fame of it spread far and wide. Not a sin
gle particle Of glass has fallen out, but the
cracks radiating from the centre with wonder
full regularity, are so numerous, that the pane
presents the appearance of gigantic cobweb.
Seen from the interior of the shop by gaslight,
it reflects the prismatc cOlors with extraordi-
nary brilliancy, and may be compared to a
peacock's tail. 1s*a f .@'5 .5@3 affsr
A speculator has offered the enormous sum
of 1000 francs for the purchase of the fragile
property, and the offer has been refused NJ.
Moliere calculates that he shall receive that
sum in francs from the Parisians alone, and af-
terwards the pane may be removed in its iron
frame and carried round the provinces. aaa g
This event has made more sensation than
any other that has occurred in Paris since New
Years day. The excitement is on the increase.
Crowds too poor to pay the admission money,
stand about the house to talk over the story,
and mathematical students in the Quarter Latin
are working problems, in the confident hope
of finding out how to crack another window in
the same way. asA

Death of sEarslAnI TFnvwaU.

The Franklin brings intelligence of the death
at Vienna, on the l4th of March, of Baron
Haynau, the notorious Austrian commander in
Hungary during the recent war Haynau was
born in 1885, at Cassel, and is said to have
been natural son Of the Duke of Hesse- Cas-
sci, by a goldsmith's daughter. He was
brought up soldier, but was not distinguish
ed, during the greater part of his life, for any
thing ex cept his eccentricities, which at times
amounted to an appearance of Insanity. In the
revolutionary disturbances of 184e, he was con-
sidered fit instrument for the execution of the
coercive designs of Austria; and his first ser
vice at the Office of Bresca, was so satisfactory
that he was appointed, in May, 1849, TO COM
command the forces then acting against the
Hungarans. His military movements were
successful and his victory at Temeswar, fol-
lowed by the surrender of Gorgey, led to the
termination of the war. His subsequent cru
elites to the Hungarians, and his barbarous
treatment of helpless women, are matters of re-
cent history that it would be painful to rehearse
now. They have made his name txecrated
wherever freedom is known; they were the
cause Of bis ignominious expulsion from Eng
land, and they can never be SO far forgotten as
to entitle him to adecent position in honesth his
tory Clev. Herald.

Tom HOOP used to tell good story of an old

road ahead the family physician, riding in bis
carriage in the same direction, he put whip to
his horse and overlook the doctor as soon as
possible. I -aa a t'.'' ~,
