ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA.

New York Dec. ls.--The Asia arrived at
Halifax at 81 o'clock this morning. The
ship Constitution, from New York, was de-
stroyed hy fire in the river Mersev the day
after her arrival, together with her cargo
Passengers and baggage were landed safely.
The English papers were filed with peace
rumors, but their assertions are totally at
variance with the Continental press. The
London Times, D'Isracl's organ, asserts
that peace il ut hand, and th.t Austria is
about TO address an ultlmntum to Russia,
summoning her, under threats Of breaking
of negotiations with her. to accept such con-
ditions of peace as the Western Powers are
now wiling to consent Ia, but which they will
not agree To after another successful cam
paign.
The Berlin correspondent Of the London
Morning Chronicle saws Austria maintains
the validity Of the treaty of December ID,
and hence all attempts of other German
States to exercise pressure on the Western
Powers. with the view TO II paciication. have
been paralyzed. There are various reports
Of attempts at negotiations, but the state of
affairs appears to stand thus: Austria has
made communication to France, embodvng
the terms which she is prepared to propose to
Russia as an ultimatun. France has sub
mitted this communication to England, and
both Governments have it now under consid-
Grafton. The terms are great advance up
OH any vet offered. but they are the terms of
Austria and not Of Russia. Austria does not
guarantee to Join the Allies if the ultlmatum
is rejected, but only to suspend relations with
Russia.
The London Times says positively that the
treaty with Sweden has been signed at Stock
holm, while the Post az firmly denies it,.
Private letters from St Petersburgh Indicate
no desire for peace. The overland trade was
profitable, and money was abundant.
Advices from the Crimea state that a weak
fire was kept up by the belligerents, but no.
thing of importance had occurred. The North
side of Sebastopol was rapidly assuming Ii
gantic proportions. The preparation for dcs-
troying the docks are nearly completed. The
bulk OF the Russian army retained It's former
position. The French have been reinforced
by 10000 troops. The English and Sardin-
lans are also reimbursed so are the Rus
SLAMS. The latter continue TO threaten
kertsch, which has been lately reinforced.
A Russian grand council Of war is To be
held at St. Petersburgh, 10 settle plan for

English asa con.

Americans visiting England are often
struck with the superiority Of English bacon
over our own, particularly Of that from Wits
and Yorkshire. Ii is believed that the diff
ference is owing solely 10 the mode of pre-
paration. We publish the following recipe
rs furnished by NIr. Browne, Of the Agrieul-
tura Bureau IF the Patent Office. Il II
worthy Of the attention Of our agricultural
readers
As soon a. The bacon comes from the
butchers hands il should have "a covering Of
salt. dried and rolled to fine powder, wol
rubbed IN with the hand, to every part, using
the finger tahll every hole ana Joint, rs IL is
most important that the meat should take the
salt when quite fresh In twelve hours all
the brine and damp salt not absorbed should
be scraped off the bacon and removed from
the vessel, and dry salt added again, a nneh
as needed to cover il before, and well
rubbed in. This process should be repeated
cycry twelve hours for three days, when salt
pctre should DC added, getting of previously
All the damp salt and brine a before, and
applying the saltnetre as the common salt,
adding handful of the latter \ quarter
Of a pound Of saltpetre to a side of bacon
weighing 70 pounds i sufficient; then mix
one pound Of coarse brown sugar and Que
pound Of treacle or molasses and pour over
the saltpetre on the bacon, adding little
more common salt daily for three days, which
serves to make the pickle keep well, and the
whole liquor should be laded with a teacup
over the bacon rs often rs convenient. four
times day for the first two weeks after il
was first pat to the bacon, and then never
less than twice a day for the remainder IF
the time needed for its picking, which IL 4
weeks, or longer if large bacon; and then
il should be sent to the drying house, and
smoked over q wood fire.
