The steamship Canada arrived at Hail.
fax on Thursday last, the 18th inst, with
Liverpool dates to the 6.h inst, and by
telegraph thence we have the main points
OF seven days later European intelligence,
Affairs before Sevastopol continue much
as at previous adyiees. Numerous sor-
ties against both the French and English
had taken, in which the Russians are re-
pQIIed to have been repuised in each in
stance with loss. The allies accounts
state that the bombardment was TO recon-
mence on the Goth of Dec, be continued
4s hours without iltermission, and then
an assault would be made by the French
and English. The dispatches from Men
chikoff, WHICH are Up to the 10Th, men
ton that nothing more important than
sorties had occurred. The final struggle
was, hoYevar, evidently at hand and both
parties were preparing for it. Per contra
10 this, from Constantinople we have the
opinion expressed that nothing decisive
would be attempted before the 18Th Of
January. The next arrival will bring a
solution Of these doubts, and will be i'm
patiently looked for.
The diplomatists are at work. The
Vienna conference had agreed upon an
Interpretation of the four points and sub.
mlltad i to the Russian minister. A fort.
nigh: had been allowed him to obtain the
final decision of the Gear. The terms
imposed upon Russia are said 10 be nelh-
er hard nor hunillitating. Austria is re-
ported TO have concluded treaty with
France and England by which they guar.
antee 10 her The possession of her prpvjn.
cos in Italy, Hungary and Poland. This
however, is Giscrediled by the London
Times.
The commercial advices are favorable.
BreaGs,u0S were maintained al previous
rates with small sales. Cotton had ad
vanced Oh some qualities, and provisions
are firm at unchanged rates.

A SPUNKY WoMAN.-A woman IN this

Husband makes practice of spending his
time and money in Inc lager beer shops,
visited Ole Of these 'lens' the other night,
and finding her 'lord' sitting at table
guzzling the 'defectabie beverage order
Ell him 10 accompany her home, which he
very reluctantly prepared to do. The
keeQar of the den inlerlered, when the just,
ly indignant woman picked up the hall
filed glass from which her husband had
been drinking, and pitched lis contents
into the beer-seller's face. The keeper
of the den, finding he had caught tartar,
beat retreat; and the woman left the
field in triumph, bearing her captive hus'
band with her.

Professor MAcLAUR.N, an old apd we'll

a system by which every person. young

size commonly used in schools, written
through from beginning to end, in per-

little girl len years old, aftet brief course
of instruction. 1t is miracle OF science
and art.
The system is method of training the
muscles, by series of easy, progressive
and very rapid gymnastic exercises TO
form the elements and combinations of
wiring. There is a set Of his instruction
books, with directions, by the aid of
which, any person may teach himself,

Past Events.

The past year, says the pumOerlan'
Telegraph, has been an eventful one' ant
many of these events are of peculiar IN
terest, both in their immediate and pros
pec,iye effects. First amongst them may
be noted the bloody drama being enacted
in Europe. War with all its horrld con
CONTAINS, has reared It's front, and tn:
leading powers, with their Immense re-
sources, have concentrated their energie:
to crush the Unsuitable ambition of Russia
Where the war is 10 terminate, who II
the end are to prove triumphant, or wha
the consequences are to be 10 them and &c
the world, are problems which time alone
will solve.
Our own country, however, has been
! blessed with the smiles Of peace, owing to
the wise policy Of our fathers, wisely Pur'
sued. New territories States
| have come into existence, and civilization
is rapidly tending toward the beautiful re-
gions of the setting sun. In few years
more a succession of States will have rea-
ched the shores of the Pacific the will
derness will be reclaimed from state OF
nature and made 10 bloom as the rose; the
hum of industry will swell upon the ear
from all directions, and the scream of the
iron horse will be heard amid the fastnes-
ses of the Rocky Mountains, running al
The rate of sixty miles an hour and carry
ing the commerce OF half the world al
his back.
The latter part of the old year has wit
messed much distress. The money mar
ket has been characterized by great strin-
gency, and many Of the banks throughout
the country, operating in many cases up
on fictitious capital, wert out of existence
with crash that carried ruin INTO almost
every branch of business and to every
hearth. The tightness Of the times, which
mast have come at any rate, was thus
preCipitated and lis effects rendered doub
ly severe, The revuIsion from extreme
activity in all the various ramifications OF
busy life TO an almost total suspension has
been of serious importance. Thousan
have been thrown olt of employment al
an inciement Season of the year, and many
are now suffering from want. This is
terrible, but there is no remedy for it save
in the charity of those more pecuniarily
able TO assist them.
This has been year of calamiiies, On
the ocean and on the land dreadful catas-
trophies have occurred, and thousands
hurried unanneaed before the great Jldge
of the quick and dead. Epidemics, too,
of fearful character have afflicted the
land, clothing it in mourning and bathing
1t IN tears.
We have also been visited by adrought,
running through many months, and ex-
tending its whitening reign over the larger
half of the country. Its effects are seen
in the stintcd crops and the high price Of
breadstuf's Of all descriptions.
But let US not review the past with re-
gret and complainings. but look forward
with high hopes to the future, which has
many blessings in store for all. The
clouds that to day hang over us in gloom,
may brake away Tomorrow and the sun of
better times burst forth with bright eful-
.gence.

From New MExICO-INDIAN HosTILITIEs
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 23-The Santa Fe mail ar
rived datlndependence, at yesterday, bringing three
passengers. On the 25th OF December PARTY
of Apaches and Utah Indians massacred at
Peublo fourteen men and two women, all whom
were left for dead. Three women and two
children were taken prisoners The Indians
numbered about 800. Great excitement pre-
vailed at Santa Fe on account of the hostilites
committed by the Indians in the territories, who
were swearing vengeance against all Ameri-
cans and Mexicans.
On the Doth of January, Capt. Narell, of the
LIST dragons, had fight with the Apaches at
Sacramento mountains, in which IL Indians
were killed, with loss on the American side
of Capt. Henry w. Stanton and three privates
Governor Garland had called into service FIVE
companies of volunteers for six months, and
recommends Congress to appropriate money TO
pay their expenses. Col. Jones had arrived
at Santa Fe and entered upon his duties.
The mail was not troubled by the Indians,
but an express arrived the day before the mail
left Santa Fe station, stating that four hundred
Aapaches and Utahs were coming to take the
town by force of arms
Lieut.. Sturges also had fight with the Apa-
ches, sixty miles from Santa Fe, routing and
whipping them and recapturing stolen stock. q.
The Governor was very. much censured at
Santa Fe and throughout the Territory on ac-
count of his disapproval of the active course
taken by the people to suppress Indian hostili-
ties. .a l..- ..4# .I
