New York, Oct 20.
The British and North American ROYAL
mail steamship Africa, Capt. William Harri-
son, has arrived at her wharf in Jersey City,
from Liverpool, which port she left on the 9Th
| inst.
The news by this arrival is Of most extra
ordinary character, and has created great
sensation throughout Europe, it being no more
nor less than that Sebastopol has not been
taken, nor was it in fames-that the destruc-
tion Of the Russian fleet is fction--the de-
struetion of Fort Constantine false-Menschi.
kof's surrender pure invention-and lastly,
Omar Pacha's dispatch a forgery
The allies, however, had formally invested
sebastopOl, and fighting was going on without
any interruption.
Menschkoff occupies the field outside the
walls of sebastopol, with 10000 men.
The Russian garrison had burnt the fortifi-
cations of Anapa, and marched to the scene
Of action.
The struggle recommended on the 25th ult..
and continued when the courier left on the
9th ult., at which time the allies were with
in ten miles of Sebastopol.
The allies occupy Balaklava, are in commu-
nication with the feet, and command the APP
proaches of Sebastopol.
1t is doubtfully rumored that the second
line of defence Of the Russians had been car
ried.
The latest dispatches say that the Russians
were completely shut up in Sebastopol, and
confirm the rumor mentioned above that their
second line of defence had been carried.
The allied army and fleets completely in
vested Sebastopol, and Menschikof had been
driven within its walls with the wreck Of his
army.
1t is rumored that Austria will consider the

tons of the Vienna Correspondence as a

CROPS AND HoGs-No FAMINE.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, writing from Boone county, KY,
SAYS:
There are great lamentations going up
relative TO the failure of the corn crop and
the anticipated famine that is to pervade this
country. The people of this country may be
justly denominated the crOakers. They should
be thankful for the abundance which we
have. Ii is true in some localities the earth
seemed to be parched, but when we take into
consideration this wide spread country of
ours, and compare its productions, we find we
have ample. | have Travelled considerably
through Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana, and
there crops of hay and small grains were new
er better. Then corn in certain sections is
good, whilst in others there is only partial
failure; but in the aggregate they will have an
ample supply to fatten their stock, which in
these counties abound
The Auditor of Kentucky reports one hun
dred and fifty thousand head Of hogs over
last year. Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Ohio,
will report an excess over last year, and, with
corn sufficient to fatten said hogs, do not
predict starvation. That they will be fatten-
ed, there is not scintilation Of doubt. Ken
lucky has thousands of acres in rye, which
was left standing in the fields, and ] suppose
other States are similar situated, which will
give the hogs such start that it will take
but little corn in addition to make them mer-
charitable pork. And furthermore, in all re-
gions Of country where have been, the far
uers readily admit that the number of acres
this year exceeds former seasons at least %
per cent. This, with the excess of small
grain, will make up all deficiencies in the
corn crop: and, with 100000 bbls. Of old pork
in New York, $4,000 in Cincinnati, 10000 in
Louisville, besides quantities in other places,
will suffice at least to keep us from starvation
the ensuing year.

The IRteiitgencer says of the Soule affair:
The excitement caused by tie repulse of
our Minister, Dir. Souls, has already, in q
great measure, died away. 1t will hardly
prove nine days wonder. A little reflection
has showed that the Stopping of our Minister
was not necesl arlly an afrent u our Govern
ment; that by the public law the act was quite
compatible with The most amicable inter
national relations; that it was for the French
Government to judge Of the propriety of the
step, and that IL was personal to the Minister
alone These considerations, and the general
impression that II cannot be productive of any
Misunderstanding between the two Govern
ment5, las already ivested the affair of the
intensity of feeling which at the first blush it
created. Further Information may, neverthe-
less, give different attitude to it
