The News
The steamship Ariel, which left Cowes on the
morning of the l4th inst, arrived at this port last
evening, with days later news from Europe, and
nles containing the latest financial reports from
London, Paris and Vienna. Consos had improved
shade in London, bat the condition OF the Aus
trim government exchequer aswell as OF the city
hank of Vienna, was pIost precarous. The Bank OF
France had published its monthly statement, which
We give elsewhere. Ten thousand French troops
were of Odessa in the allied squadron and the news
Of the bombardment Of the town was hourly cx-
pected. report of a popular outbreak in Sicily
was prevalent. Rome was dreadfully afflicted
with cholera, and the inundations Of the marshes
had caused much loss Of life and property. Russian
agents we're busiy at work in Italy and Switzerland
Cholera was still rife in Madrid. Prince Gortscha-
kof reports from the Crimea to the 9Th instant
No new movement had taken place. The English
gun-boats had left the Baltic, and were under con-
woy for home. 1t is said that the Danish Sound
Dues question win certainly be settled in an AMIGA
ble manner. Russia was likely to tempt the aid Of
Austria and Prussia by an offer of slice OF her
Polish frontier.
The correspondence from Sebastopol, published in
our paper this morning, will be found highly inte
resting, containing, il Does descriptive account
Of the relative positions of the Russian and allied
armies; the one in their strongly fortified position
the north side of the city, and the other amidst
the ruins Of its southern half The English writer
states that at the latest date, September 20, the
Russians were busily employed in Strengthening
themselves by adding to the usual armament of the
Sorts, and the erection Of batteries wherever
gun could be mounted. He fully corroborates the
statement Of DR.. Davega, published in the HERALD
Of last Thursday, to the effect that the north side OF
the place was brstling with cannon" using, in
hct, the very words of that gentleman. The
effect was felt by the victors, as the increasing
heavy fire of the Russian guns had rendered
their position dangerous, and they had al.
ready reduced the garrison Of occupation,
In order not to attract mu n attention from the
enemy. Flour was becoming scarce in the British
army, and despatch had been sent to London re-
questing an immediate supply. A daily distribution
Of coo pounds of corn was required in order to
feed the horses attached TO the English divisions.
A graphic description Of visit to Cathcart's HILL
where the slain officers lie buried, is given. Many
OF the British officers wounded sth Of September
had died since. The roar Of cannon which ceased
fOr time after the capture of the Malakof was
again beard daily. The British naval commanders
report that Perekop is entirely safe the side.
Immense food supplies are taken to the Russians
by the route of Tchougar bridge. Drunkenness and
night riot prevailed largely amongst the common
BOdiery quartered in Sebastopol. 1t is asked, with
significant emphasis, when will the north side be at-
tackled? Some late ukases Of the Gar are given,
with statistical summary Of the population of the
Crimea.

In another column will be found q very sensible
and practical letter from an Intelligent colored
man named Robin, in which he gives some sound
advice to his coored brethren of this community
on the folly Of their attempting to enforce by law
rights which custom and general prejudice have
denied them. He considers that the conduct
of the Rev. Mr.. Pennington, and Others who
have attempted to interfere with the arrange.
ments Of the Sixth avenue railroad, after the
company had made full provision for their ac-
commodation, was unwise and ungratcful, and
nc recommends an abstinence from all such
proceedings for the future. He believes that
prejudice of color will not last for ever, but he
thinks also that mingling the two races too soon
and too freely will only be an injury to both. The
abotionists would do well TO ponder over the
truths contained in this remarkable epistle. They
convey the strongest reproof that has yet been
thrown out against the folly aud wickedncss Of
their own proceedings.
Gov. Clark has appointed Thursday, the Goth day
Of November next, to he observed throu shout the
State as day Of praise, Thanksgiving and prayer.
