from arrangement Of the Liver The Pills discovered
by Dr. MIane, OF Virginia, act directly the Liver;
disease cuts of and eytrpates the complaints which
have their origin in the diseases Of this organ. Rene
dies hitherto proposed for liver complaints have failed
to operate upon the seat Of the disease but Dr. Nc
Lanes Pills make themselves felt upon the action Of the
Liver and by cleansing the fountain, dry up the impure
streams OF disease which thence derive their existence
Purchasers will be careful to ask for Or. MLdne's

The U. S. mail steamship Baltic, Captain
Comstock, has arrived at her wharf at this
port from Liverpool, which port she left on
the 4th inst.
Her intelligence is of highly important
character.
A great battle had been fought in the Cri-

the allies fred the town and sunk ten ships
of war in the harbor.
Sevastopol had fallen, and the city was in
flames.
The engagement was very saiguinary-
10000 French and English having been killed
and $4,000 Russians.
Prince Napoleon behaved very CALAMITY,
and had two horses shot under him.
Twenty-Five thousand prisoner and one
thousand guns were captured.
Prince Menschikof, notwithstanding the
almost utter humiliation of his army, remain

EXCITEMENT ABOUT FEMALE EQUEsTRI-

vile, Ohio, last week, and the societies hav-
ing offered a premium of gold watch worth
$50 to the best female equestrian, six ladies
entered as competitors. The judges, after
much discussion, awarded the premium to
Miss Eliza Graham, of Putnam, who entered
on abeautiful dapple grey, dressed in n black
skirt, bodice, hat and plume-dress relieved
by blue ribbon.
The decision created terrible hubbub, in
fact, almost riot, ana the excitement was
only aIlaycd by subscription being taken
up on the spot, and another gold watch,
worth $3.50, procured, which was awarded to
Miss SaIlie Kitchen, to whom the excited
crowd commended the first premium rightfully
belonged. Another premium, silver pitch
