Arrival of the Steamer Asia.
THREE DAYS hATHR FROM EUROPE.

Arrival of the Steamer Asia.
THREE DAYS hATER FROM EUROPE.
HALIFAX, June co.
The Cunard steamer Asia arrived here this
morning, with Liverpool dates to the 9th June.
The news by this arrival is again highly ex-
citing.
The bombardment of Sebastopol was recon-
menced on the 9th.
The greatest gallantry was displayed on both
sides, and the losses sustained by both the Rus
slams aud French were very great, but no fg-
ures nre given.
This event caused a great buoyancy in public
feeling in England, and caused u slight rise in
consols.
With the exec ton of the above, there is no
other news of special Importance.
On the day the steamer sailed, despatch
was received from Lord Raglan, dated the day
previous, June sth, at 6 o'clock p. m, announc-
ing that, after fierce bombardment, the French
attacked and carried the famous Mamelon and
White Tower batteries!
The buoyant feeling in the cotton market at
the departure of the st. Louis subsequently,
gave way, and prices underwent partial de-
cline, which however was afterwards recovered,
and the market closed steady, ut about previous
quotations. The business of the week embrac-
ed about 100000 bales, mostly taken on speru-
lation.
There was no change in breadstuffs Of mo-
ment, except in corn, which has advanced Is.
since the departure of the Atlantic.
Provisions were generally firm, and in some
cases there has been all advance.
LONDON MONEY MARKET.-The market is
still easer. There has been another great III.
crease in bullion in the Bank Of England. Con-
soils closed Mt 90.
Peac. negotiations are not likely to be resum.
cd unless Russia requests it. Austria considers
hsrsef released from all engagements with the
Western powers, but still proposes an alliance
with France and England. The Russian Pleni.
poten,ialies were still considering the PROPOSE
tions of Austria, but the ambassadors of the
allies had left Vienna.
The allies had not advanced beyond the Tcher-
Maya.
GOV. READER ANE his KANSAS SPECULATION.
The Washington Union of the 18th inst,
occupies several columns with very piquant
and interesting correspondence between Gov.
Reeder, and Commissioner Manypenny, Dir.
Clark, Indian Agent, Secretary Marcy. &c, in
which there is considerable sharp shooting, and
4 very decided indication that the ofiicial days
of Gov Reeder, Judges Jahnston and E!more,
and Attorney General lsaacs, Of Kansas, are
numbered.
Improper speculation in Indian reserve lands
by these high officials, is the graremen of their
offence as charged. We can see no prospects
of their relieving themselves, even on the s.ate-
ment of Gov. Rceder, from public rebuke and
political dscapitation.
The Charleston Standard of yesterday, con-
tains letter from its Washington correspond
ent, from which VIC make the following extract
ON this subject:
WASHINGTON, June 10Th, 1855.
A few days since gave you the result of a
consultation held at the Presidents House, in
relation to Governor Reeder andhis speculations
in Indian lands. then stated tb5t it had been
determined by the President, that Governor
Reeder should not return TO Kansas, and that
his associates in land speculation should also
retire from Office. An interesting correspon.
dencc, published in the Union of yesterday
morning, confirms all your correspondent stated,
and proves his sources of information to be
entirely reliable. 1t was determined 10y the
Executive that Governor Reeder should not
return, and Secretary Marcy, finding The Cover
nor in New York, and about leaving for the
West, attempted to arrest his progress BY writ
ing him that the President, consistently with
his convictions of duty, could not allow his
present official relation to the territory to con-
tinue, unless the impressions which no'c rested
upon his mind should be removed by satlsfac-
tory explanation" 1t was believed by Secreta-
nv Marcy that this note would act rs u ne ereat
upon the movements Of the Governor, but in
this he was sadly mistaken, for the Governor
with the greatest sang froid imaginable, informs
the Secretary Of State that his note was filed
away, to be answered at more convenient sea-
son, when it could be attended to "wlthout
gross neglect of official duty" This cool dodge
of the moose aroused The lion in The old Secre.
,ary, and it is now understood that a successor
TO Recder will be appointed at once, with instruc.
tions to push on to Kansas with all possible dis
patch, and bearing in his pocket the card OF dis
missal for Reeder
Similar notes to the one addressed TO Cover.
nor Recder, are also addressed, by the Attorney
General, to Judges Johnson and Elmore md
Mr.. District Attorney isaacs-nolifyiug them of
an anticipated removal in the event they can
not explain away Governor Reeder's positive
declarations rs 10 their joint interest in his land
speculalions in Kansas.
"rHE FAMINE AT THE WEsT.-The receipts
of breadsluffs at the upper lake ports are tre-
mendous, and in the face uf the immense re-
ceipts of corn, and the export demand but nom-
inal, with limited disliling business, the pres.
ent prices of this description of grain cannot
be maintained. lO3,436 bushels were received
at ports on the Upper Lakes in one day. At
Buffalo and Oswego the receipts reported on
Monday reached 1924 bbls. flour, 82,897 bush.
els of wheat, lso,o27 bushels corn, and 1925
bushels oats
