THE PACiRIc's HEWs.


The Pacific did not sail from Liverpool til
the morning of the 30ih nit, aud her adyi
ces are therefore nearly eight days later. =
The intelligence by her does not present af
fairs at Sepastopol 10 any new aspect. since
the terrible struggle of the 9th, in which the
allies aud the Russians had an opportunity Of
testing each others strength, both parties
have been earnestly preparing for tue final
effort which is to decide the possession ofthe
Crimea. The silence is onnous Of what is
to come, and viii probably be broken by the
most sanguinary and pitiless battle which
history has recorded. Additional accounts
place the Allies loss at the battle Of Iuker-
man at 1900, and increases the Russian loss
to $4,000. This disproportion is almost ia
credible. Strenuous exertions were still ma
king to reinforce the allies, and diversion
in Bcssarabia,by the Turkish forces, is talked
Of as means of fayoring the allies in the
Crimea
One oftbe tempestuous storms which ca1s-
cd the aucients to call the Black Sea the in
hospitable sea, has dose serious damage to
the fleets and shipping of the allies. Three
ships of the line and eighteen Transports were
greatly injured, and the details show loss
Of of life and a wreck Of the transport feet
that will be seriously felt in the present omer-
gency. From the Baltic there comes q ru-
amor, wanting confirmation however, that
division of the Russian feat had captured
two British cruisers
The Intelligence other than that relating
directly to tae progress of the war is import
ant England and France have declared
that they will not treat on the four PROPOSE
tiona tho es,natcriel esaar@atoeso chat VIII
hold Russia in check are to be the indispea-
sable Conditions Of peace. This deternina-
ton is almost Synonymous with the promul-
CATION OF the war for years. England is
feeling the monetary and trade crisis which
has been produced by the war. The pros
pect was not relieved by the belief that Par
Lament which has been summoned for the
18th inst, would be called upon for ten
million sterling loan, and an increase Of tho
income tax. The compulsory enrolment of
the whole militia force Of the kingdom is also
spoken of as probable.
Cotton has declined under the efforts of
holders TO sell. Brcadstutrs are not much
changed, with the exception Of corn which
was lower.

Richmond Ehig
"iienry A. Wise has received the Demo
cratic nomination Tor Governor Of Virginia
after spirited struggle. We are heartily
glad Of it. Wise's nomination is stagger-
ing hlaw to the Old Fogias who have ruled
Virginia despetically for number Of years.
They opposed him with bitterness in their

the following statement Of facts.
About two years ago the Society was or
pauized, and shortly alter through the irst-a-
mentality Of my brother, Rev. j. II Nichols,
verbal agreement was entered Ibto ~Iti' 4hr.
J. ~ Boyd. acting trustee Of tie CID Pres
I 5yterian Church. to purchase SAID house as
permanent place Of y orshp. Tie terms
agreed upon were 500. - one half on the lst
I d.y Of Apri, 1858. aud the balance on the
Ist day Of April. 1854,
Ia view Of the purchase Board Of T:us
trees was elected aad subscriptions were to
ken 10 nearly the amount Of hrst payment
At this iuneture the authorities OF the Ter.
man Reformed Church, asserting a claim on
the house. formally forbade the Trustees pay
ing over the purchase money until tier claims
we're conceded. These circumstances to-
retbcr with the removal Of my brother 70
Baltimore SO discouraged and crippled the
ererei Of the Society. that nothing was
done in the way Of concentrating the pur
q ase, for whole year, save that few dol
lars were paid in, amounting probably 10 all
t. some $50, most (which believe has been
refunded or still remains in Responsible haads
Thus the matter rested until April last
when the writer, 10 behalf Of the Society,
called on Mr. i I'd. aud subsequently upon
three ether members Of tie Board proposing
to make tie contract good by making FIRST
payment and irte, est on the whole to date at
ouce. and the balance in year to cone.--
I his proposition was kindly entertained by
tie latter, aud at. understanding was to be
had that we might know what We Tereto do.
Willie these things were IN progress the pro-
position was made to the Court to reat tie
house for its sessions, and subsequently, 1t
was reported to US as having been sold to
company for To1ra Hal al an advance Of
some $3.50. Tbs latter am told, has fall
en- through bat the Court having taken pos
session we have givea up all claim, both to
and occupancy and consequently
have removed To other accommodations
For the present, through the Kindness Of
