HALIFAX, Jan. II.
The details Of the news by the steamship
Canada possess considerable interest. The
principal items are appended.
The London Times is an advocate of the
immediate recall of Lord Raglan, on the
ground that he is entirely incompetent to
the high station assigned him.
The Times also severely assails the Min
istry and recommends the appointment of
the Earl Of Dalhousie at present Governor
General OF India, as Minister of War
AT the conference at vienna on the 28th
ultimo, the Austrian, French and English
Plenipotentiaries drew up their interpola-
tion of the four points, which have been So
often announced as the grounds On which he
gotations of peace could be commenced
The Austrian Minister carried the docn-
ments to Prince Gorscha koff, the Russian
Eubassador who vas asked if he was pre-
pared TO accept then without mod icaton
or reserve.
Gorlschakof replied that his instructions
dill not % 50 far, and asked and obtained
two weeks delay, in order to communicate
with the Gar.
The terms Of the Allies are reported to
be neither hard nor hnmliating to Russia
1t is also stated that the Russian interpre-
tation of the four points differs but little
from that of the Allies.
The siege works about Sevastopol are rap
| idly advancing. and rein!orcements to the
Allied troops were constantly arriving.
Gen. Canrobert says he will be able to
take the offensive as soon as the losses sus-
tanned by the army are made good. and en-.
tertans full confidence of the success of his
plans.
Scarcely night passed without sorties
on the part of the Russians.
The French works now extend to the bot
tom of Quarantine Bay.
Every inch of their progress was warmly
disputed by the enemy.
Liverpool Cotton Market.
Brown, Shipley & Co., reported the de-
mand for cotton to have been fair during the
week. chiefly for middling qualities, which

adopt the latter road to the cutoff. We

There is certainly some cause for the

shows that during the past year our imports

only s27S, ,241 ,064; showing a balance
against us of over twenty-six millions Of
dollars. And among our exports is thirty
six millions in gold,--so that the whole
amount to be paid in coin amounts to over

The N. Q. Picayune of the 18th instant
among other items of intelligence from
Mexico, mentions strong game which was
played off by Senor ID. Francisco Arrangoz,
the Mexican Consul General in this country.
1t seems that the S7,000,000 due by the
United States to Mexico was delivered to
Senor Almonte, the Mexican Minister, who
was ordered by his Government to hand it
over to Arrangoiz. The latter received it
and fulfilled the orders Of his government
respecting its disposal, and in return for bis
apparent attention and fidelity, be was ap-
pointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenopotentiary at Washington. 1t turned
out however, that Arrangoiz had retained
the small amount of $40, 900 for his trouble,
