New YFRK, June l3.-The U. s. Mail Steam
ship Atlantic, Capt James West, has arrived,
at her warf in this City from Liverpool, which
port she left on the End instant.
GENERAL 1NTELL1GENcE.-The advices by this
arrival are of startling and important character,
and prove that the supineness of the Allies has
given place at last TO vigorous and decided &C.
ton.
On the nights of the 22d and 23d ult. the
Allies drove the Russians from an important
position before SebastopoI, called place d Arn,ce.
The killed and wounded on both sides amount
ed to 5000. The French retained the position.
The Allies seized and retained the Russian line
of defences on the Tehernaya with scarcely a
battle. The Russians retrcated to the Hills.
The secret expedition, composed of 10000
men and IA steamers, took the fortress of Kertch.
The Russians blew up their own magazines both
sides of the Straits connecting the Black Sea
and the Sea of Azov, and sunk four steamers
and 30 transports, and destroyed half million
sacks of breadstuffs. The Allies have now IA
steamers in the Sen of Azov. The Allies have
also destroyed the Russian magazine in the In
land town of Arat, and destroyed the shot and
she'll foundry near Kertch The garrisons near
Sebastopol drew most of their supplies from
the Sea of Azov. Probably, therefore, the fall
of Kertch and the occupation Of the Sea Of
Azoy will have speedy influence upon the
siege.
It is rumored at Paris that Pellisier had at
tackled and routed Liprandi, that Canrobert was
wounded, and another French General killed.
The Allies have completed the fourth parallel,
and the British were mounting heavy guns upon
it.
Reinforcements were daily arriving at Con-
stantinople The Sandman contigent had land
ed in excellent condition, and were we'll snppli-
ed with materials of war. II is also stated that
Belgium would furnish 10000 men.
The Vienna Conferences had not been reo-
pened, and it wa6 rumored that England and
France had rejected the propositions OF Austria.
1t was rumOred that the Grand Duke Con-
stantine had resigned The command Of the Rus
sian Navy, and that the Peace party WAS in the
ascendant at St. Petersburg.
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGEcE.--The Liverpool
Cotton Market.-The Circular of Messrs. Milli-
gan, Evans and Lempiere of the lst instant says
that the war news from the Crimea was regard
ed as important, and that the Cotton market had
been active with speculative demand, and
prices had advanced I'D. per h. The sales du-
ring the week had comprised l52,5O0 bales, of
which spectators took $1,000 and exporters
5000, leaving $4,000 bales of all descriptions to
the trade. Fair Orleans It'd; Midding Orleans
6ll-l6d.; Fair Uplands 67-sd. and Middling
Uplands 67-l6d. The stock of Cotton in the
port of Liverpool comprised $4,000 bales, in
cluding $4,000 American.
IMPORTANT Mission TO FLoRlDA.-We had
the pleasure Of an interview yesterday afternoon,
with Mr.. Townsend Glover, an enthusiastic ar
tist and naturalist of distinction, commissioned
by the Patent Office to investigate the natural
history of insects injurious and beneficial to
crops in various sections of the Ugon. MIR.
Glover spent the greater portion of the last
year in Carolina, Alabama, and the interior of
our own State, watching the habits and OPERA
tions of insects known 10 cotton AMI rice plan
ters. His observations are. Of the most minute
and accurate character, made with microscope in
hand, and cannot fail when published, as they
soon will be, under the patronage of the Gov
ernment, to contribute greatly to most impor-
tant branch of knowledge. They will be &C:
companied with illustrations drawn with great
accuracy, and engraved on stone, that the stu
dent or planter may see ut glance the history,
nature and peculiar habits Of the insect whose
operations, perhaps, have long been a mystery
to him.
Mr.. Glover is now on his way to Florida,
where we bespeak for him that kind reception
which his mission demands, and which our
neighbors of the" Land of Flowers" know full
well how to gire.-Savannah Georgian.
