HAIdFAx, May 24-The steamer America has ar
rived, with liverpool dates to Saturday, May -.
The America will be due at Boston on Friday
night, and her mails will doubtless reach New York
on. Saturday afternoon.
The weeks news is very meagre There has been
no event of importance before Sebastopo. Affairs
much in the position, although some trivi-
al successes with the allies have been reported.
The tone of public sentiment appears to have re-
solved itself into the conviction that the must
be protracted one without the hope of assistance
from Austria
Several extensive failures at Liverpool were spok
of privately just prior to the departure of the
America. No news had transpired.

large portion was taken by spectators, at an adj

in corn, which is trife higher.

London money market easy. Consols closed at
$50.
TsEcoND DEsPATCH.1
Accounts from Vienna are indicative of Austria's
friendly disposition towards Russia and is believed
she will ultimately join her. The same is also said
of Prussia.
1t is announced in some quarters that England
and France are about to tender Poland and Hungary
their protection. This is certain if Austria and Prus
STA side with Russia.
Affairs in Asia were quiet, and without much in
terest.
Spain continues in a very unsettled condition.
There have been further outbreaks and several ar
rests.
Nothing new in Sweden or Denmark.
The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES indicates greater difficulty
in Europe than, perhaps, ever known.
Napoleon, it is said, has determined to go to the
Crimea practicable.
There is great excitement prevailing throughout
England and France regarding the war. No hopes
are entertained of peace, and both governments

with renewed energy. For this purpose it has been
determined to raise an army of half million men
if necessary, and fight to the last.
Ru sian accounts from the Crimea are favorable
to their cause. An immense number of troops,
numbering 100000, are in and around Sebas-
topol, with constant recruits pouring in. The de-
fences at Sebastopo greatly increased in strength
There have been several sorties, in which good
many were killed on both sides, but regular bat
tie The Russians are said to be in high spirits.
Bombardment by the allies has almost entirely
sed They are awaiting reintorcements and addi-
tional supplies of war munitions. good deal of
sickness prevails in the French andaEngligh camps
and many dying. All accounts are upon the whole,
unfavorabe to the allies and they have no hope of
peace.
