New YORK, Nov. II.
The royal Nail Steamship Arabia, with
Liverpool dates to the 5th, being three
days later than the previous advices, ar
rived at her wharf at Jersey City at 9 O.
clock this morning,
The news is Of very interesting char
acter.
In Liverpool, Flour had declined six
pence to one shilling per brl. Wheat
was two pence lower. Corn had advanc-
ed one shilling per quarter.
In Liverpool, Cotton had declined one
eighth on fair qualities and under mid
ding descriptions Middling remained
unchanged. Middling Uplands were quo
ted at sgd.
The London Money Market presented
no new feature. Consols closed at 81,
being a decline of one eighth since the re-
ceipt of the Baltics advices.
The Bullion in the Bank of England is
Increasing, and money appears, if any
thing, to be easier. The effect of the la
test war accounts from the East were not
known in England, as none were received
but few hours previons to the Arabia s
departure. Money was in quick demand,
and silver had been in great request for
China and India, and prices had advanc-
ed.
Turkey and Russia.
The news from the East is of con-
ficting and contradictory character.
The rumor however, is confirmed, that
a Turkish force of 80, 600 had crossed the
Danube and it was announced that they
had occupied Kalafat. 1t was reported
that they had been attacked there and de-
feated by the Russians in pitched battle.
Omar Pasha, before crossing the Dan
ube, addressed spirited p reclamation to
the army, string up their patriorism and
declaring he would sacrifice his body
and soul, to be revenged on the invaders
of his country.
He kept his word as to the Russian e.
vacuation Of the Principalities, and at the
expiration of the fifteen days commenced
hostilitieS in all directions, and in good
earnest. During the interim Of fifteen
days the Turks were actively employed
in transporting troops to certain portions
of the Danube, from which they could
cross with little further obstacle to the op-
posite banks held by the Russians.
The passage of the Danube BY the
Turks, under command of Omar Pasha,
, was effected without opposition.
The reason assigned for the evacuation
: of Kalafat by the Russians was the great
] mortality which prevailed among the
troops in the different camps.
: 1t was rumored, however, that the Rus
slams afterwards returned to Kalafat, and
] in pitched battle had defeated the Turks.
: Prince Paskiewitch had left St. Peters
f burg for Bucharest, to take command Of
the Russian army in the Principalities.
The main force of the Russians were in
position near Bucharest, where several
hundred pieces were posted, and every
) preparation made for defence.
There were rumors prevalent that Res
child Pacha had retired from the Ministry
The latest accounts from Bucharest re-
port that 1000 Turks had appeared of
: Guirgeers, and fired into the town. In
the conflict, which is stated to have been
. very desperate, many Russians and Turks
were killed. The Turks received the
worst of it, and retreated up the river,
closely followed by the Russians.
At Kalafat it was reported that there
G were daily skirmishes between the Turks
and Russians, though they amounted to
nothing serious.
The Turks respect all foreign property
under the Austrian flag.
Another dispatch from Vienna, by
way of Paris, under date of Nov. Sd, an
nounces that q battle had taken place
near Kalafat between the Turks and
e Russians. The Turks numbered 5000,
and the Russian force was only 2,5OO.-
b The engagement was a desperate one,
: and lasted about two hours, when the
= Russians retreated with heavy loss.
J Prince Gortchakof had left Bucharest
for Karaiova. His departure produced
: profound sensation. \ battle was ex-
L pectod to take place in that direction.--
e Karaiova was full of Russian troops.
Prince Paskiewitch was on his way to
+; the Principalitiesto take command of the
| Russian forces
1t was supposed that the Russians
e would purposely allow a considerable
+ portion of the Turks to establish them.
q selves in Lesser Wallachia, in order tc
t bring them to battle as soon as posSible
e and as the Russians felt confident of vic.
: tory, they would, after driving back the
Turks, quietly await settlement of the
S affair on such terms as tie great Euro
J pean powers thought reasonable.
G The latest reports state that martial
II law had been proclaimed by the Russians
j. in Bucharest and in all the other towns OF
i the Danubian Principaltities. All inter
d course with the Turks was prohibited un-
>, der pain of death, and any person found

J. summerily executed.
