ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA.

New York, Oct. 3l.-The steamship Asia
has arrived with Liverpool dates to the 18th
inst. The steamship Kangaroo from Pbila-
delphia, and the Kersonesc from Quebec arri-
we'd at Liverpool on the 18th.
The Napolitan difficulty is without much
change. 1t was the general impression that
the anglo-French ultimatum would be presen-
ted to King Ferdinand on the 10Th, and failing
to receive an immediate favorable answer, the
Ambassadors would be withdrawn; but it was
not supposed that the fleets would immediate
ly appear.
The English squadron had sailed from Az
acoo, and its destination was supposed to be
Malta. The French feet was still at Toulon.
The Vienna papers still anticipate peaceful
issue.
1t is stated that in consequence Of the grow
ing Importance ofthe European complications,
the Congress at Paris Will consist of first and
not second rate plenipotentiaries, and that
it will soon meet.
The affairs of the Danubian Principalitics
engage attention, and the French papers are
opposing the Austrian occupation of them
Count Walcnski, has issued circular in reply
to the recent Russian document.
1t is rumorcd that both the English and
French fleets have orders to approach Naples.
1T is also rumored that suspicious are awaken
ed in Vienna. that Russia and France are en-
gagged in negotiating a secret alliance. The
free trade project in France has been postpon-
ed till the first of July, 1861.
Tie pressure on the Paris Bourse is still
very severe, but the suspension of specie pay
ments by the bank is not antpated so strongly
before. The amount of the contract with
the Rothschilds, for the purchase of specie, is
all the gold that can be obtained in London,
Germany or the United States.
Count Walenski has answered the Russian
circular of Sept. ID, repellng the approaches
of Prince Gortschakof' in regard to the con-
duet of England and France in the Neapolitan
affairs, and asserting that the action of France
toward Naples will be purely of a diplomatic
character. A telegraphic dispatch from Con-
stantnople says that Lefer Pacha has gained
two important victories over the Russians in
Circasia.

PROCLAMATION.

PENNSYLVANIA, SIS:
Il, the name aud by The authority Of the Com
monrealh Of Pennsylvania. JAMES POL
LOCK Governor.
FELLOW CITIZENS A public acknowledg
ment of the goodness of Almighty God, and
of our constant dependence upon his Proyi-
dence, is eminently becoming free and en-
lightcned people.
AS the Solver of every good and perfect
gift He has crowned the past year with his
goodness, and caused our paths to drop with
fatness." Our free institutions, Our rights
and privileges, civil and religious, have been
continued and preserved. Science and Art,
with the great interests of education, morality
and religion, have been encouraged and ad-
vanced industry, in all its departments, has
been honored and rewarded, and the general
condition of the people improved.
Our Commonwealth has been greatly blcs-
sed. The rayages of disease and dcath--of
famine and pestilence, have not been permit
ted to come U.S. nor have the horrors of
war disturbed the peaceful quiet of our homes.
The earth has yielded her increase and richly
rewarded the labor of the husbandman. Album
dant prosperity, with smiling plenty and the
blessings of health, have been ours. Acknowl-
edging, with gratitude, these blessings of a
kind Providence, let us 'senter into His gates
with thanksgiving, and into His Courts with
praise; be thankful unto Him, and bless His
name.''
Deeply impressed with the importance and
propriety OF this duty, and in accordance with
the wishes of many good citizens, L, JAMES
POLLOCK, Governor of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, do hereby recommend Thurs
day the Goth day of November next, as day
of general Thanksgiving anI Praise throughout
this State; and earnestly implorc the people,
that, abstaiDing from all worldly business and
pursuits on that day, they unite in offering
thanks to Almighty God for His past goodness
and mercy, and humbly beseech Him for con-
tinuance of His blessings.
Given under my hand and the Great Seal of
the State at Harrisburg, this 2lst day of Octo-
Der, in the year one thousand eight hundred
and ffty-six, and of the Commonwealth the
eighty first. By THE GOVERNOR.

Holloway's PiHs.-Astonishing Cure of
Bilious Complaint.-Mr. Patrick M'Kennan,
of Columbus, Ohio, suffered for upwards of 3
years from violent pains in the head, a foul
stomach. bad digestion, disordered liver, and
general nervous debility, he tried various rem
edies for the mitigation of this compound dis
order, but ne only became worse instead of
better, although he also consulted several doc
tors. Finding that the medical faculty could
not cure him he had recourse to Holloway's
Pills, by continuing with this remedy for a few
weeks, he entirely regained his. health, and
ever since then he has not bad the slightest
return Of his complaint,

these societies and the rapid increase of the
numbers of their devotees is an undoubted
fact, the dread of which is painfully aggraya-
ted by the apprehension of season of high
prices, want of employment, and general dis
tress So long as it was possible for Louis
Napoleon to crafty the national taste for glo-
ry and display by martial achievements and
the sumptuous adornment of Paris, and so long
as by loans and increased taxation he could
procure the means of continuing this course,
all was apparently tranquil and prosperous
but as soon the war was brought TO a close
and there were no more victories to celebrate,
when settling day arrived, the real state Of af-
fairs became apparent, and the people awoke
from the trance into which they had been lul-
led to find themselves on the very verge Of in
solvency.
However the means by which Napoleon
seated himself on the throne may be condemn
ed, it must be conceded that were he, at the
present critical juncture of affairs in Europe
to fall beneath the bullet or the dagger Of an
assassin, the most incalculable disasters would
be the result. To his indomitable energy and
slgacious craftsmanship France and Europe
are largely indebted for the measure Of tran
quillity which they now enjoy; and if in some
things his policy may not have answered the
expectations of many-if in some particulars
his conduct may appear suspicious and want
ing in candor-beforc he is condemned ac-
count should be taken of the difficulties of ev-
cry description by which he was and is sur
rounded, and credit given for the great good
which has resulted from his administration
If, as the sanguine believe, the resources of
France are sufficient to enable her to ride
through the storm by which she is now mena-
ced, by curtailing the expenditure and effect
ually curbing undue speculation, it is mani
fest that this desirable result will be largely
advanced by the retention on the throne, in
the full exercise of his power, of one proved
to be more competent than any other of his
countrymen to guide the ship of State in a
season Of difficulty and danger.

THAT FREMONT POLE AT PORTSMOUTH, Va
Opposite the city of Norfolk, in Virginia, lies
the city of Portsm outli, where recently some
mischievous Know Nothings erected long
pole, with the United States flag floating from
the top, and the ticket of ssFrcmont and Day
tOn-thc Union and the Constitution stream
ing to the breeze just below. The work was
done in the dark, for such thing would have
been s'open treason in broad daylight. But
the daylight came, and there was the outrage
Gus while mans ticket of Fremont and Day
ton streaming high in the air over the town of
Portsmouth, in the very hot-bed of the pccu-
liar institution. The democracy of the baili-
wick were at first paralyzed-they could hard
ly believe their eyes; but they rubbed them
and looked again and then, if Bully Brooks
had been there they were ready to follow him
to Washington, rob the treasury, and proclaim
a Southern confederacy.
Never was there such Indignation, such
fearful excitement, such tempest in sach n
teapot-never such a spirit Of wrath, niortifi
cation and tomfoolery anywhere among the as
tonished Virginia democracy. They had NEE
tings-they passed resolutions of Indignation
the City Councils were called together, and
they also passed resolutions; and the result
of all these meetings and resolutions was that
the Fremont pole was cut down and the Fre
mont inscription attached was ANONYMOUSLY
destroyed. There never was such time. A
democratic glorification over the Pennsylvania
election was turned into an indignation meet
ing against the innocent pole and its patriotic
decorations; and resolutions of congratula-
tion with Col. Forney were superseded by res
olutions Of wrath and lamentation against the
pole. Mr.. Bolts seriously believes that Gov.
Wise is a Inonomaniac, really and truly lit
tie cracked, little bit cracy on niggers, 60
ing off into violent fits at the sight of them
and one would think from the fire and fury,
the wrath and cabbage of the fierce democracy
of Portsmouth over that pole, that they were
all going crazy together-the Governor, his
disciples, his party, his subjects and his mig
gers.-Nelu York Herald.

THE JUJUBE TREE.-The seeds of this tree
were imported short time since from the
south of Europe for experiment in the South.
1t grows in the form of shrub OF middle size.
bearing red oval fruit about as large as olives,
inclosing a stone of the same shape. They
are sweet, but only eaten among us in the form
of paste. In Algiers the fruit ripens in the
month of June, and is much sought after by
the inhabitants, who consume large quantities,
both fresh and dried, as well as in the form Of
a delicious paste.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3l.-John Cooney has
been arrested OH charge of furnishing forged
naturalization papers Four witnesses were
examined who testified that they bad voted at
the late election though they had never de-
clared their intentions TO become citizens. nor
been at Court to obtain papers. They receiv-
cd their papers in mysterious manner and
refused to tell from whom. One voter found
them in his coat pocket; another had the pa
pers left at his house, in another's house tho
papers were thrown. The above facts were
through the investigation instiiu-
ted by Mr.. Mann the Union candidate for Dis
trict Attorney, who is contesting the election
of Lewis C. Cassidy the Locofoco candidate.

PUBLIC AFFAIRS IN FRANCE.

We give below, from the Journal of Com
merce, rather gloomy picture of political af-
fairs in France; but in Mr. Walsh's latest let
ter from Paris to the same journal we find, on
the other hand, the following less portentous
views extracted from the French Ministerial
organs
sour scmi-official or ministerial organs in
quire into the cause of the fail in the funds
and stocks of every description during some
months past. They deny that there is truly
either political, commercial, or financial cri-
sis. There has been mschieyous excess of
speculation and joint-stock undertakings =
TheGovernment refused to grant more license.
The railroad companies went too fast in the
issue of bonds, the proceeds Of which were to
be applied to branches. Moreover, French
capital was rendered comparatively scarce at
home by the operations of cosmopolite asso-
Citations that undertook foreign public works
and banking experiments. Politics had moth

been stronger and more general than ever it
was. The country is calm and trusts in the

CAUTION N.-Don't buy nostrums of street ped
lers. A man in Boston bought bottle of corn
ointment on the street, which burned hole
in his foot and caused his leg to swell, so that
amputation was at one time considered neces-

the Supreme Court in Connecticut, also by the
Supreme Court in South Carolina, that the
losing party in a wager may recover from a
stakeholder the money he had deposited with
him, though the latter, after the determination
OF the wager, had, by the order OF the deposi-
tor, paid over the money to the winner.

DThe return of the election in this bor-
ough shows that 33 votes were cast for the
straight Fillmore ticket. We have the chari-
ty to say that the men who were induced to
vote thus, wished to act right. But they have
been deceivcd-badly deceiyed-as they will
learn hereafter. We commend the following
letter of Hon. ANDREW STEWART, tcho is one of
The Senatorial Electors on the straight Fillmore
Ticket, to their serious consideration. His
advice was, ssYoTE THE UNION TIcKEr;' but
his admonition was unheeded and evil coun-
sci allowed to prevail with some.
LETTER FROM HON. ANDREW STEWART.
USIoNTowN, Pa, Der. %, 1856.
DEAR SIR: In reply to your inquiry, s'for
which ticket shall VOTE my answer is,
VOTE FOR THE UNION ELECTORAL TICK
EFT, with the name of Millard Fillmore at its
head. This secures your vote to him in the
prorata division Of the Electoral votes, while
if you vote the straight Fillmore ticket, on
which my name is placed, you fhrow array your
rote, and thereby promote the election of Mr..
Buchanan.
This is my advice, and you may publish ii ii
you think proper. Yours, &c,
ANDREW STEWART.
