THE ALLIES AT KERTcH-EURosEAN CIv-
ILIzATIoN.-A correspondent Of New York
journal confirms all the previous accounts of
the horrible atrocities perpetrated by the
allies at Kertch. The place visited with these
unspeakable horrors was peaceable and in
offensive town, whose inhabitants had taken
no part in the war. Not only was the proper
ty of these unofiending people destroyed, but
their wives and daughters, without an excep.
ton, fell victims to fate worse than death.
1t is snid that not woman in the town es.
capped, and that they were not only violated,
but dragged from their once happy homes
and compelled TO accompany the monsters Of
the English and French army to Constantine
pie. Comfortable, refined and happy homes
were thus desolnted forever, and, in some in-
stances, the wretched victims, having been
deprived Of their honor, were also deprived of
their lives. Similar scenes occurred ut Bo-
mersund. Yet the wretches capable of such
crimes, talk of themselves as the champions
Of civilization, whilst Russia is so hopeessly
barbarous that she must be eyterminated!-
If she is barbarous, she has committed no
such offences as these, and, at all events, has
never added to the misfortune Of barbarism
the crime of hypocrisy.

GOOD ADVICE.
By request of one who has suffered from

By request of one who has suffered fro
peoples unsclfshncss:
"Is it any body's business,
If gentleman should choose
To wait upon lady,
If the lady don't refusel
Or, to speak little palmer,
That the meaning all may know,
Is it any oOdy's business
If lady has beaul
as it any body's business
When that gentleman doth call,
Or when he leaves the lady,
Or he leaves at alll
Or is it necessary
That the curtains should be drawn,
To save from further trouble
To outside lookersonl
'Is it any body's business,
But the iddys, if her beau
Rideth out with other ladies',
And doesn't let her knowi
Is it any body's business,
But the gentieman's, if she
Should accept another escort,
Where he doesn't chance to be7
"If persons on the side walk,
Whether great, or whether small,
Is it any body's business
Where that person means to call u
Or If you see person
While he's calling any where.
Is it any of your business
What his business may be therel
"The substance of our query,
Simply stated, would be this:
1t is any body's business
What anothers business isl
Whether it's, or whether t isn't,
We should really like to know,
For we're certain, if it isn't,
There are some who make it so.
'If it is, we'll join the rabble,
And act the noble part
OF the tattlers and defamcrs,
Who throng the public mart:
But if not, well act the teacher,
Until each meddler learns,
1t were better in the future,
To mind his own concerns !"

A STRONG View OF THE SUBJEcT.-The
Richmond (Va) Wing, in discussing the
present war furore of the administration
against John Bull, SAYS
But the true motive for the war cry is to
be found in deeper policy. 1t is part and
parcel of the democratic programme for every
Presidential campaign. The talk of war nat
urally stirs up the fierce democracy, but then
in addition, it furnishes decent pretext for
the party to call upon Congress for large ap-
propriations. None but traitor to his coun.
try can object to the expenditure of indefinite
millions for putting the country into pos.
This is the logic. Congress is therefore call.
ed upon to open the treasury and let the par.
ty help themselves. This game was COM
menced in Gen. Jackson's time, WHEN it W.
proposed to put ten millions in the hands
hended war with France; but really to feed
the Office holders and elect Van Buren. The
same policy was attempted in Tyler's day,
to resist the Vaccinations of England against
Texas-again by Polk on the Oregon Ques-
ton; and now by Pierce for the fourth or
fifth time, in respect to enlistmcnts and the

five or six days the President has sent a mes

coast. These several schemes would require
an appropriation of some twenty-five millions
of dollars, over and beyond the ordinary ex-
psnses of the government. As soon ms the
representatives of the people are wheedled
out of these millions the war cry would

LATER FROM EUROPE.
HALIFAX, N. s. March I!

The British and North American Royal
Mail Steam Ship Arabia has arrived at this
port, with advices from Liverpool to the LIST
instant.
A dispatch received by Mcssrs. Brown and
Shipley, the Liverpool Agents of the Collins
line Of steam ships, dated Glasgow the 9th
ult says that the Steam Ship Edinburg from
New York, passed on the 7th u.., when five
days out, in lat. 40 deg SO min., and long. 49
deg. 40 min, large quantities of broken ice,
and saw on 1t quantity of btoken cabin fur
niture, consisting of fine ornamental doors,
with white or glass handles, a ladies work
box, and other articles common IN the cabins
of first class steam shps-it is, we fear, too
probable that these articles were fragments
from the wreck of the Pacific, MS the Arabia
brings no intelligence of that vessel.
In Paris three peace Conferences have been
held, but none Of their proceedings have been
allowed to transpire. The general impression
is that matters, so far have progressed fa-
vorably. 1t is believed that Immediately after
peace has been signed a European Congress
will meet to adjust the balance of power. A
rumor, to which, however, not much credence
is given, is afoat to the effect that Russia
comedies the required limitations, but will not
abandon her protcctorate over the Greek
Christians. Another rumor, somewhat alarm
ing, but believed to be a speculating ruse,
says that Russia has stated objections which
will break up the Conference.
An arlnstice has been announced. to last
until the end of March, but not to affect the
existing blockade, and has been made known
to the armies in the Crmea. Omar Pacha's
resignation has been accepted. Russia, the
Allies and Sweden continue to make active
preparations for war.
The excitement in relation to the difficulty
with the United States had entirely subsidized
in England. Mr.. Buchanan had 6ined with
