Arrival Of the Baltic, with One Weeks Later
News from Europe.

Arrival Of the Baltic, with One Weeks Later
News from Europe.
The arrival Of tho steamer Baltic, at New
York, yesterday, brings as seven days later
intelligence from Europe. Az the details are
contained in the morning papers we shall not
lumber our with them zas...s-
The intelligence from Sebastopol il Of but
little interest, though We may expect to have
some quite decisive results from that quarter
by the next arrival. The allies have determ-
the Turks reach the northern side, and the
Russians have abandoned their outer works
and retired to the forts from which they will
sustain the attack of the allies on the city.
They have also fitted out fifteen ships-of- the
line ready for sea, and will doubtless first re-
sist the attack on the city before encountering
the allied feet
When operations are again resumed the
whole aspect Of the siege will be changed
The Turkish forces under Omar Pasha are
expected to attack Sebastopol on the northern
side, prior to the commencement OF tho assault
and with reinforcements to the amount of
$4,000, to attack the forces of Menschikoff A
most sanguinary conflict may be anticipated
The bill for the enlistment of the foreign
legion has passed Parliament, and France hal
ordered loan of SOC, 900 ,OOOf to sustain the
expenses of the war.
The week intervening since the arrival OF
the Asia was the Christmas holidays, when
all business was suspended. Flour and CORE
are represented as unchanged, cotton had con
slderably declined, and monetary affairs were
unchanged American stocks were in good
demand. Consols closed at cit to 91s.

A CHILD KILLED BY A RAr-A most sin
gular and fatal occurrence took place a. the
house of Mr.. B. M Morris, at Richmond, Va,
about two weeks since We learn from the
Post that about six months ago, a negro wo.
man, in the employment of Mr.. Norris, heard
her child cry in the room next to her, and
went in to see what occasioned it. She saw,
as she entered tho room, large rat running
on the floor, and upon approaching the infant
she found bite upon its check which bied
profusely. The mother thought nothing of tie
accident, and about two weeks since was again
called into the room by the crying Of her child.
Upon getting in, she saw large rat leap from
the bed, and taken up the infant, which wa.
