HALIFAX, April IS.
The steamer America arrived last
night. Her mails will doubtless reach
New York at midnight, on Saturday.
The Americas adyices are to the
3lst.
The affairs of the Crimea have un-
dergone no change.
Attention is concentrated on the Wen
ma conference, and great difficulty is
represented as being experienced upon
the third point, although the demands
of the allies have been much modified.
The Russian plenipotentiary referred
the matter to st. Petersburg, and moth
ing further could be done until reply is
received. The French minister of for
eign affairs has also been to London, to
confer with the English cabinet upon
this momentous question.
Breadstufs.-The market has slight
ly declined, Canal Flour 38s; Ohio 49s.
Corn, yellow 42s, white AIS.
Proyisions.-Lardfi firm; sales at 45s.
Provisions generally have slightly de-
clined. Market dull.
LONDON, March 3O.-The markets are
inactive. Money market easier; Con-
soils for money 934.
Although the third point in the Wen
ma conference has been modified, seri-
Gus difficulty has arisen, and it has been
referred to St. Petersburg, and the con-
ferences have been postponed to await a
reply although probably the fourth point
will be discussed in the meantime.
There is nothing important from the
Crimea.
The latest dates from London are to
Friday night, when it is stated that
Decouger del Hays, the French Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs, had been in Lon
don for a conference, and left tonight
for Paris. He will remain in Paris for
two days and then proceed to Vienna.
He was closeted with the leading minis
ters for three hours to-day, and subse-
quently had long audience with the
Queen. He will bear to Vienna the ir-
revocable determination of the Allies on
the third point. There are no favorable
indications from st. Petersburg.
A new Belgian ministry has been
formed.
At Canton the insurgents were gain
| ing ground.
SPAIN.-Espartero has resisted the
demand for democratic modification in
the constitution.
The steamers letters will be due in
New York on Sunday night.
The Western powers did not demand
the demolition of Sevastopol, but the
reduction of power in the Black Sea,
offering in return to evacuate Russian
territory. The Russian plenipotentia-
ries had no power to act on this, and
submitted the matter to st. Petersburg,
there to rest. All the plenipotentiaries
have sent to their governments for in
structions. Gortschakoff on the 96th
moved for the admission of Prussia into
the conference.
A special correspondent of the Lon
don Times, writing from SeyastOpol,
describes the condition of the army as
much improved. In the actual work of
the siege there is no progress to justify
favorable prophecies. A formidable
Russian force has assembled around
Eupatoria, which virtually besieges the
place. The Russians could not hold
Eupatoria if taken, as it is completely
under the guns of the English fleet.
Raglan's latest despatch announces
that there is steady fire without a
change in the aspect of affairs. I'm
portant operations, however, were going
on.
The Russians continue to strengthen
their works recently thrown up in ad
vance of Malakoff tower. Efforts are
making for their destruction. There
are nightly encounters between the
French and Russian rifiemen; the latter
are repeatedly dislodged and return
again TO their posts under cover of the
Russian batteries.
The British frigate Viper destroyed
Mortello tower, and barracks of Digi-
mitara, which the Russians had recently
constructed for defence.
The Paris Presse states, but the state
ment is contradicted by other papers,
that the allies have assented to truce.
A manifesto from the Holy Synod of
the Russian church incites the Russian
nation to war in defence of the Faith.
There was no loss of life by the re-
cent burning of the French hospital at
Constantinople.
GREAT BR1TAIN.-In parliament the
Sandman convention was discussed
England engages to borrow money at
five per cent, and loan the same to Sar-
dinia at four.
Roebuck's committee continues; an
inquiry for certain papers connected
with Admiral Dundas's conduct, before
Odessa, was refused by the Commons.
