no organization can take place for several days to
come.
The recent popular outbreak in Kansas is assum
attention of the Senate of the United States. Gov
Ehannon's application to the President for military
aid has been refused on the ground that the case is
not one which calls for the interpretation of the
federal authorities. The antslavery account Of the

By the arrival of the steamship America at Hall
AK we have one weeks later intelligence from
Europe. Her news is not of much importance.
There had been no fresh military operations in the
Crimea, the belligerents being busily occupied in
preparing their winter quarters It intended to
bernhard the northern forts of Sebastopol, in order
to enable the feet to winter in the harbor. An at
tack was made by the allies on Maranopol, on the
north coast Of the Sea of Azo on the 3lst of Octo
her, and after short bombardment instructions
were given to the firing out of respect for the
Austrian flag, which had been hoisted over the
warehouses of the German residents. There were
some apprehensons of an attack by Gen. Wrangel
the allied forces at Yenikale but they were pre-
pared to give him a warm reception, hav-
ing about thirty thousand men there Another
secret expedition sailed from Eupatora on the
l4th instant, and proceeded in . westerly direc-
taen. In Asia, the Turkish army, under Omer
Pasha was, at the last accounts daily expecting an
attack from the Russians From the Baltic we learn
Nat at the last accounts the allied fleets were lying

levOvers for the use Of the Russians. The reports
prevailing in Paris in regard to Swedens having
joined the alliance, although wearing an air of cir
cumstantiality may be looked upon as an antcipa
ton rather than rs a fact. The price of her adhe
sion is stated to be there-annexaton Of Finland to
her territories, an object which she doubt covets,
but for which she would hesitate to make the sacri
foes which her cooperation with the allies might
entail on her. 1t is added that in the event
of her joining the coalition an allied army
will occupy Courland in order to force
Prussia and Austria to renounce their neutrality.
The London Morning Post positively contradicts
fhese umors. Prussia is straining every effort to
bring about the renewal of peace negotiations. The
Gar Is said to have agreed with NJ dc Munster the
Prussian Envoy, on the fresh preliminaries on
which he would be disposed to treat, but the Allies
regard them as unacceptable. His Imperial Males

loan which had been negotiating with German CAPT.
talists had been concluded.
Lord Palmerston had II was reported decided on
dissolving the British Parliament, although it il
difficult to imagine how he could improve his posi-
ton by such step. In the manufacturing districts
things remained in pretty much the same unsettled
state. In Manchester alone there were 3,400 opera
tiyes out on strike.
From the last accounts from Copenhagen there
appears to be to doubt that the conference
ON the Danish Sound Dues met on the Goth ut,
a. was proposed. Russia was to have sent special
envoy the other States accrediting their resident
Ministers. II had been arranged that Russia might
take part in the conference simultaneously with
Ahe other beigerent Powers.

favor Of joining the alliance.
In the London money market there had been an
improvement of nearly one per cent consols--the
closing quotations being $50 sss, whilst in cotton
and breadstufs there had been decline, with little
business doing.

situ, and about 500 900 do. on the spot at steady

prove more favorable. Flour opened at 40 for com
mon brands, became tirmer, and closed at 50 12s
