i to the calls Of persons and the pressure Of the
correspondence incident to closing the counts Of
large concern the late house of Selden, Withers

inventory of assets and liabilities or the firm, but
as before stated, are assurei by the bookkeeper

dence) that the estimated value Of the assets is
81 LOCO, 900, sn1 The liabilities about SS0O,000. In
addition to this, informed, and believe It to
be t. ue, (not having seen tbs de- ds cannot speak
positively, that Mr. Withers has appropriated out
Of his private estate property valued at OO0 to
be applied to the payment Of the debts Of the frm
sivey if necessary, to the redemption OF the circu.
lation and the Payn emit Of depositors.
We learn from the book-kesper, also, that the
amount Of circulation now outstanding is less than
$t1O,0G0, and the aggregate amount Of deposits to
be paid about Sl5000O.
We deem 1t proper also to state that the notes
Of eeldeD, Withers 90. will be received in pay
ment OF any debts due the late firm at the same
rate as Virgins money, but that none Of the cir.
culation can be otherwise redeemed until q pre.
ferred debt, estimated at $500, shall have been
liqutdahd d. after which the funds will be applied
exclusively to the redemption Of the circulation.

BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENCE.

BelLtgerents on Corn Change-Ihs foreign
News-Railroad Afairs-Charles Street
IAeatre-H0iLiday Street-Bu,tness.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 13-p. m.
Quite belligerent ARRAY took place on our
corn exchange this morning. 1t was a minia-
ture touch Of Sebastopol. Instead, however,
of bombs or hot shells being brought into re-
QUESTION, natures weapons took their place
The combatants were a son Of Erin" and
young " Brother Jonathan" both dealers in
-four. 1t seems that some misunderst landing
arose in reference to the purchase of wheat
Words soon waxed warm. The hot blood of
Erin was up in a minute, and &c Yankee
Doodle" responded in double quick time.
That repugnant epithet followed and blow
from Ireland's champion was planted below
the optic organ of "Brother Jonathan, -
causing observation Of skin and the flow of
some young American purple. Here was q
moment of intense excitement. Both bellige-
rents were lin arms and eager for the fray
What had passed in words and blows was
merely precursor to the contemplated bonn
bardment Fortunately, however, the inter:
vention Of friendly powers had the effect of
restoring tranquility without resort to heavy
artillery. Whether hostilities will be again
resumed, is matter for future development.
There are some whisperings that " Brother
Jonathan" being taken unawares, and not
having an opportunity to defend himself
cleverly, will invite the 4" Emerald champion
to take set-to with him upon the field of
honor. The end is not yet. A mutual ad-
justment may ensue. The battle has not de-.
pressed breadstufs nor seriously affected
stocks.
The Pacific. advices are deci dedly unfavor-
able to the allies in the Crimea. King Frost,
with bis accompanying ornaments of ice and
snow, is proving formidab foe. Russia has
been reinforced by this potent ally, who will
do most of her fighting for five months to
come, provided England and France are not
obliged to retreat before his whitening blasts.
The truth is, the besieging Powers before Sc.
bastopol, are already whipped by this unspar-
ing warrior.
The regular monthly meeting of the directors
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad took place

ANNA-Under the heading of Enrolment
of 5000 Swiss for Santa Anna" journal of

sent to person in the city of Neufchatel, in
which it is stated that sum of 500, 900 francs

the Roman Catholic cantons, for Santa Anna.
With the view of escaping any interference on
the part OF France, these recruits, in number
5000, are to be shipped in small detatchm
from Antwerp. The letter goes en- to lament
the disappointment that awaits Switsers who
are seduced by Mexican promises to leave
their country as hireling soldiery. Whether
the statement is true or not, it has awakened
ga high degree of selicitude" on the part of
the authorities.
Gen. Osten- Sacken is to take Danrebere's
command in the Crimea.
Regiments of sharpshO0ters are being raised
among the peasants. They are to wear the
ordinary peasant garb, and use their own

warehouses of Memel being full
The allied generals have demanded an ex.
PLANTATION from Menchikof respecting the or.

quarter. A Russian major, who gave orders
to his men to kill the wounded, has been taken
prisoner and hanged.

AoS LEIEAhERS.-IQ6 Baltimore
american Of this morning says:
The Cunard steamship Arabia, which
sailed from New York yesterday, in the last
vessel Of that line which will arrive or depart
at that port, until the British government re.
leases the steamships taken up as transports.
The Collins and Cunard lines have arranged
10 despatch their combined vessels once week
from Liverpool, alternating between New York
and Boston, the Cunard line, of course, keep
ing up the communication with Boston, and
the Collins line with New York. In conse-
quence, the Atlantic, instead Of sailing from
Liverpool on the 14th December-her original
day-will nat sail until the 18th; and the Pa
eifc, which would havo left here on tho Esd
December, will not leave till the 9th, to be
followed by the America from Boston, on the
Sd Of January. The sailing days Of both
lines will thus be on Saturday from Liverpool,
and on Wednesday from America. The next
Cunsrd steamer from Liverpool will be the
America, which leaves on the 9th December,
bringing ten days later intelligence. The
Washington. which was to leave Southampton
on the 9Th, fer New York, may possibly, how
sVsr, anticipate her.
