Arrival Oi the America.
Es Week Later From Europe.
HALIFAX, Jan. 16.

The Steamer America arrived here at
7 o’clock this evening.

Notwithstanding all appearances, it is
strongly suspected that Austria will no
lake the field against Russia in the
Spring, unless previously assured of the

Pi

active support of the German Bund.

“ The Weser Gazette states that an
additional article touching the third polul
has been added to the treaty of Dec 2:111,
between Austria, France and England.
It does not, however, impose on Austria
the obligation of taking part in the war,
nponthe eventful refusal of Russia to
‘accept thethird point as interpreted by
‘Austria and the Allies.

SWEDEN.

"Accounts are very warlike. Com-
manders have received __instructlons
marked "private,” to refuse leave of ab.
ssnco, and to have regiments in order
by Spring. Military and naval marin-
hctories are at work incessantly, and
appearances are that, in accordance \Vllll
asecret article of the treaty, Sweden
will openly take the field with the Al-
lies in the Spring. She has on hand
several millions of thalers of surplus
revenue, which will be devoted to the
equipment of an Army and Navy.

DENMARK. 0

The Danish Government is reported
I0 have consented to the establishment.
of a depot of stores for the English fleet
at Kiel, and for the fleet to rendezvous
there in April.

THE CRIMEA.

A letter from Kalish, of the 25th ult.,
in the Austrian Gazette says, according
to the latest accounts from the Crimea,
the Russian troops have been reinforced
by a regiment of the I-Iuzzars of the
Guard, and by another regiment.

The allied gunboats which remained
at Kinburn have been frozen in, and all
the efforts to release them have hitherto
been fruitless.

The Muscovite party are striving
supersede Gortschakoff by Murigtteff

ASIA.

Orner Pasha has returned to Sonlzoum
Kaleb, renouncing his irrtemrori to at.
tack Kutais, at present, The great er
part of the Russian army will winter at
Kin. Many persons have left Erzroum
fearing its attack by the Russians.

R USSIA.

Contracts are advertising for inrniense
quantities of artillery and stores, and
new rifle regiments are being enrolled.
Emancipation is offered as a bribe to the
serfs, while some restrictions imposed
by the Czar Nicholas on the nobles, have
been repealed.

The publication of the Austrian Con-
cordant is prohibited in Russia, lost it
‘should cause religious discontent. The
Czar has also issued a decree, conferring
‘"1 m‘ P93331110 the right to possess land-
" P3999"? in Poland. Personal serf-
lhm 13 I0 be replaced by annual pay-
ment. -

FRANCE.

On Saturday, the 29th, there was a
grand military fete of entry into Paris
of regiments from the Crimea. An im-
mense crowd thronged the streets.-
Banners were abundant. The Emperor
wg Prince Napoleon, rode to the Place
de astillo and addressed the troops.

INDIA AND CHINA.
_ The arrival of the Indian mail brings
interesting intelligence. A battle ha}:
occurred in Fude, between the fanatic
insurgents and the British lroops.

A dreadfuloccurrence took place as
Manilla. The American slilp Waverly
with Chinese laborsrs on board, went
in to bury her Captain. Some trouble
ensued on board, when the male shot
two or three, and drove the rest below,
and then went ashore lo attend the fu-
neral. On his return, the hatches were
opened and out of 450 men, 251 were
dead from suffocation. The mate and
crew are imprisoned by the Spanish 3...
thorities.

j Railroad Accident.
. Another dreadful accident on the
Hudson River Railroad-—tbe second on
, that road since the beginning of the
year -— occurred Monday morning at
I Spuyten Duyvil Creek, The Sunday
afternoon Mail train from Albany left
that city al‘ its regular time (4.15 P.
M.,) for New York, with two locomo.
lives, but run very slowly in consequence
of the accumulation of ice and snow
upon the track. At 1 1-2 o’clo«-lt on
Monday morning, wlie-n several hours
behind time, it reached Spuylen Duyvil
Creek, 13 miles from this City, but the
bridge over the stream proved to be in-
secure, and gave way as the train came
upon it, at a point forty rods from the
Westchester side. (The Creek is the
dividing line between New York and
Weslcliester Counties.) The first en-
gine passed over, but the track sank so
suddenly that the second
the Oneida, went down instantly, before
the engineer had lime to shut off steam,
with it both engineer and fireman. A
niillr car followed lg, and then a freight
and a baggage car_ The baggage car
rested upon one end, inclining to the
north, and was not submerged. Tile
passengers in the rear cars had a most
provide-ntial escape. There were three
passenger cars attached to the train;
and the forward one nearly filled with
passengers was thrown off the track and
partly down the chasm caused by the
sinking oftlle road, but having rested
upon the end of the car behind, afforded
the passengers an opportunity to escape.
With the exception of slight bruises and
a few dislocation, all the passengers cs-
csped unhurt. Two lives were lost-—
both of the parties killed were in the
employ of the Railroad Company.

will be delighted to learifthat an addi-

your liberality, and more so for your in-
dependence; I have no fault to find

3 As every thing relating to the New
Haven tragedy appears to be interesting to
the public just at this time, we publish the
following from a correspondent at George-
town:

"Soon after the death of her husband,
the old hag, Wakeman, with "Elder
Sly" and other kindred spirits, came in-
to the upper part of Wilton to preach
their abominable doctrine. Her hus-
band’s spirit at that time, was a source
of great annoyance to her: and she ap-
peared to be very anxious to in some
way dispose’ of it. She insisted upon
having his body dug up so that his spir-
ll might be shot with a pistol _which
was prepared for that purpose by being
loaded with powder, and a silver ball, as
a lead l-all, she said, would have no ef-
fect upon a spirit. '

Alone of her evening 1119:-tings she

asked a young man, a professor of reli- I

gion lopray, who immediately complied
with her request, and prayed most fer-
vently that til:-Lord would cast the devil
out of that wicked woman. She was
very mil:-.h displeased with the prayer,
and appeared as if she would like to dis-
that

At
another meeting of theirs, one of the
gang began to repeat the Lord’s prayer,
and as soon as he had said "Our Father
who art in Heave n," was interrupted
by an uubelit-ver who said, “Slop! you
are wrong; you should say -Our Father
who art in Hell,’ for the father of your
doctrine is in Hell.”

She pretended to llil-l’l‘COl1l'5t’:

WA§HINGl'ON- Jan. .l8lh. 1856,
House of R:-presentnlive.t. Evening.

Cpntrary to our expectations ltlstweek. the
l-House adjourned in season for the members
to go home and "fix up" to attend the Presi-
dent-’s first Levee. A gay party throngcd
the White House during the evening. and
l most of the great oficiul luminaries of the
country, with a respectable sprinkling of
“lesser stars” were in attendance.
_ Saturday in the House was given over to 1
I sort of good old fashioned New England s::<-

ercise. The candidates for the Speakorship
' were brought to the stand and catechizerl i.-1.
‘ the most. approved Puritanic style. Long liv-

 fore the session opened it. was given out that
I_ Richardson had spent the night in preparation
l and would "spread himself.” When called
out, therefore, he stood forth with his quire
of foolscap in hand, and proceeded to “ define
his position,” but from some cause or other,
he seemed to fail to meet the expectations of
his friends, in so far as talking ability or log-
l ical powers were concerned. The circum-
l stances were at best unfa.vorab1e to oratory,
l and his previous labored preparation served
greatly to damage his oratorical efforts.-
Messrs. Campbell, Fuller, Pennington. &c.,
responded in few words, mainly advancing
the idea that their prospects of election did
not warrant them in any great expenditures
of verbal ammunition. But the design 0
this catechising was not to draw out infor
tion from any one. The position of all
candidates were perfectly well understo .
It was simply a ruse got up with the hope
that Banks might come out of the ordeal dam-
aged in some shape or other. How well they
succeeded, the sequel proved. Banks made
by far the best impression both unto his polit-
ical integrity and his accomplishments as a
Speaker. Although apparently off‘-hand and
without preparation he dejivered one of the
most eloquent speeches yet made on the floor
of the House, and one which will give him
strength and support in the country, if not
vote: in this House. His speech was fre-
quently interrupted with applaudits of appro-
val from the galleries, and his bitterest. oppo-
nents were compelled to admit that they had
"caught a Tartar” with their Catechism. His
speech we will send for publication in your
next week’: outside. Some surprise, we see,
has been expressed that the conservative mem-
bers should have continued throughout the
disgraceful drunken orgies of Thursday night
when a motion to adjourn might at any time
have been carried by the Banks men. We
cannot perhaps state the peculiar circ um-
stances of the session better than in the words
of Mr. Greeley. It occurred in this wise:

“They [the Banks’ men,] were pub.
licly challenged, by llle resolve of the
Democratic Caucus, to remain in ses-
sion from Wednesday noon until a
Speaker should be chosen. They ac.
cepted the proffer, and resists’-d every
motion to adjourn until the challengers.
backed square our and unanimously vo-
ledlo adjourn, carrying the point. by
barely four majority, umil three Banks
men changed their votes at the last mo-
ment, deeming further perseyeranoe use-
loss after those who proposed the Night
Session had voted that they had bad
enough of it. The Star says that this
unanimity on the Democratic side was
brought about by several Mernbers,desi-
rolls of adjourning going to the leaders
and telling them that they would sit no
longer—ll1at if the House were not ad-
journed, they should go home and let
Banks be elected. So those who had
been the heartiesl. in opposing adjourn-
meuts as well as the first to propose a
permanent session, backed square on
and adjourned the House,”

The sessions of the House have been consu-
med in taking an occasional ballot, " personal
explanations” absorbing by far the greater
portion of time. These " personal explana-
tions” consist in the main--of’ irrelevant, bun-
come speeches, and under- the rules of the
House. Members are thus allowed to explode
themselves, least more fatal results might
follow the suppression of their views. Those
who attended the late contest at our Town
Hall. can form a pretty correct idea of the
present. condition of the United States Con.
gress. The contest too is somewhat analogous
and it is not surprising that the effects produ-
ced should be similar, and the same “ Parlia-
mentary rules” observed. In our case at
home, I think it was Temperance and Freedom
vs Rum, in thisdcontest it. is Freedom vs. Ne-
groes and Slavery.

At the close of the fruitless session of Wed.
nesday, Mr. Flagler of N. Y., announced from
the Clerk’s desk at call for a second canons of
all Anti-Nebraska men, at the Hall, that eve-
ning. It. convened and resulted after three
hours deliberation, in re-nomination of Banks,
by all but one dissenting vote. The impression
now seems fairly established here, that "if ever
a Speaker is elected it will be Banks, and had
this impression been as generally prevalent
one month ago as now, the people would not
have to complain of this trifling with their in-
terests. Another circumstttnce has postponed
an organization which otherwise would most
assuredly have effected it—-we can the man-
ied accommodation of the pay Clerc. He had
loaned toslrort Members, up to Saturday last,
over $49,000. He issues the bills of a new
Pennsylvania Bank. wanting a circulation.
and of course when the House does organize
he expects it re-election for his l‘-avor.-, and the
Pennsylvania Bank expects Uncle S:un’s gold
in lieu of their Bills.

By the way, I see that our fellow-townsman.
D. B. Booth, Esq., introduced a resolution at
the late American Convention, which seems to
imply a censure of’ the course pursued by our
Connecticut Delegation. '1‘be objection is
grounded upon a want. of confidence in N. P.
B'anlt’s Amcricanism, as evinced by his action
at the late gubernatorial election in Massachu-
setts. Had our friend been in possession of
all the facts connected with that convention
and canvass, he would never have thus ground-
edjiis objections, or, had he read his noble dc-
fence of liberty, and reference to his record on
the American question, could he have found
cause ofcomplaiut-. No man lmrc doubts his
fidelity to the great principles of the American
party. And, neither here nor elsewhere, can
the course pursued by the Connecticut. dell.-ga*
tion be justly assailed, and it is with no little
pleasure that we notice the resolution was
promptly voted down. If is true the question
is often asked throughout the Nor-lh—why not
yield Mr. Banks and take up a new man upon
whom enough can and will unite to secure an
election? Simply for the plain and common
sense fact, that on no other man can so many
artti-Nebraska voice be concentrated as upon
Mr. Banks. Is not the folly of a change then
apparent. Again, the slav e-leaders and dri-
vcrs have given out that unless you, the ma-
jority, will yield up the man you do want, and
join upon a man whom you do not want, we
will refuse the plurality rule to tne end, and
thus prevent. any election. It seems to us that
Northern men have cuwered to the snap ofthe
slaveldrivers whip about long enough, and we,

 
 
 

for one, rejoice flint Connecticut has it delega-
tion in Congress with back-bone enough to re-
sist this arbitrary assumption of power on the
part of the slavery forces. Our delegates are
not tenacious of Banks. but they are tenacious
of the great question of human Freedom
which underlies this protracted contest, and
their constituents, we are confident. will most
cordially and enthusiastically sustrin them in
the part they have assumed in this,‘ battle
for Liberty. Justice and Right. No, gentle-
men, stick to your man and the people of
Connecticut will stand by you. A

Blame there is 5i1d"much of it, and w’e shall
be greatly deceived-if the people do not visit
those members sent. here on the anti-Nebraska
issue and who havesteadily cast their votes
so as to weigh on the side of slavery, with the
severest judgments known to politicians. The
eyes of the people are not to be blinded by
their much speaking, and we greatly overrate
that prevalent spirit of Freedom at the north
and at the west, if the political histories ol
some “ honorable gentlelten” do not end with
the disgraceful records of. the 34th Congress.
As to when a Spcnkt-r will be chosen no hit-
man eye can foresee. it may be to-morrmv,
next week, or next June. At all events, we
are convinced that those now voting for Banks
cannot be brow beaten into submission to an
impotent and factions minority, or their
strength divided by the treachery of pi-eten— ,
dcd friends. The end is not. yet.-—u~e believe l
that end will be the election of 1.’. P. BANKS.
We leave this political Sodom on the mor-
row for the land of the -Pilgrims. A. H.‘ B.

Fire. L
An alarm of’ Fire occurred yesterday afte

House. In consequence of some defect in the
Hot Air Furnace, the wood-work about the
inner walls had ignited, and must have been
burning for several hours, It was discovered
about 3 o’clock, and by dint of hard labor at
the buckets, was extinguished, (not however
until considerable damage had been done to
the building, which loss is covered by ‘.Insu-
rance. It will interrupt the school for some
days we presume. .

 

fl‘ “ Vindex” again appears in the Stem-
ford Advocate, and it seems to us has essen-
tially Iowered himself on the score of fairness,
from his first eflbrt. In hisfigures he cautious-
ly excludes all those passengers who pass
tl~<.-m- the Danbury Railroad Cars to those of
the New Haven road. With his knowledge of
the details of this road, he must know that
quite one-half of those who go from Norwalk
take the Danbury Cars at the Bridge, and pur-
chase their through tickets of the Danbury
road. And why do not" all the passengers
from the Danbury road go to give significance
to the Norwalk Station? They certainlyjoin
the N. H. road at this point and no other, and
cannot on any score of fairness be excluded-
Then again. why does “ Vindex” end his Dill-
worth with Norwalk. if he would dimuss the
matter fairly ? Let him go on, as we suggest-
ed, to Fairfield, Bridgeport and Stratford, and
we think’ he will find himself obliged to call
to his aid the higher mathematics to show the
“ laudable system of equalization” referred to.
We repeat again that po jealousy exists here
over Stamford or any other town ; neither do
we ask favors of the company not enjoyed at
all other stations. But why invite a discus-
sion on ground untenable and not germain to
the original question. We entered our com-
plaints against a specific wrong. We made
them with no captions spirit or love of fault-
finding. We made them from none but proper
motives, and with only an earnest hope that
the evils spoken of might be reformed. When
this is done our object will have been accom-
plished, and our complaining: at an end.

,@~ The Lecture of Rev. Dr. Bacon, of New
Haven, last. Wednesday Evening, was given at
Smith’s New Hall, It was well attended and
although entertaining and instructive, we are
inclined to think from what we have heard,
the theme was not calculated to show to the
best advantage the strength and power of Dr_
Bacon's classical mind.

 

fl‘ Our Institute Lecture this week is to
be given by Rev. Joseph P. Thompson of the
New York Tabernacle—subject, “ Italy and
her Mazzini.”

fi*Some poor, miserable biped, signing
himself “ Abel Selleck,” sent, in our absence,
the marriage notice of two respectable parties,
for publication, as -having occurred at the
Ridgefield Poor House. The perpetrator of
so mean and pitiful a trick, if he have the
least spark of sensibility, must despise and
hate himself more thoroughly than any one
else can, and we will not add to the poignancy
of his shame.

fl‘ Our neighbor of the Advocate wekuew
could not long suppress his honest good na-
ture. He has fairly trapped us on the Divi-
dend. We acknowledge the corn, and he has
won the dollar.

 

 

12* The Bridgeport Farmer is still inter-
ested in our Railroad difficulties, and pro-
pouuding his queries in a respectful manner
we have no reluctance in gratifying his wishes.
premising however, for his future benefit, that
we shall never indulge in ourself, or reply to
language similar to that which characterized
his former article. The Editor of the Former
is much oursenior and we would not dictate
to him upon the proprieties of editorial discus-
sion, and we intend no disrespect to him, when
we express our conviction that the epithets of
a “ lie,’-' “liar,” &'.c., when characterizing a
simple diff:-rcrrce of opinion, are improper
terms to be used, and simply digraceful to the
man and the Editor. We believe such terms
are current only among the most abandoned
loafers and answered only with blows. We
are not a “ fighting man,” and express our
most decided disrelish for anything of the
kind in any paper. and upon any provocation.

As for our Railroad difliclilties, we expres-
sed the sentiments of this community, for a
specific course and for specifiic ends. We have
no personal inturest in the complaints beyond
what any public journal should possess for the
welfare of those among whom his lot is cast.
As to free passes, we have always presumed
that to be a matter beyond the jurisdiction of
the Superintendent. Again we would say, for
our neighbor‘s inl'ormation,that the Lord hav-
ing prospered us so far as to be able to pay
our fares upon the road, we continued so to do
long after he had placed himself on the free
list. and we have no present anxiety about
that feature of his enquiries.

gar Mr. C. Dnmxn, Stamford, gives a com
pliulcnlary Supper on Thursday Evening of
this week, at. higpopular “ Cornucopia,” where
so many of our Sleigh-riders have been so ad-
rnirably entertained.

The difference in the increase. of fare, as
between Stamford and Norwalk. is the result
of a laudable system of equalization. By the
rates at first established, Stamford__ptud ‘65
cents from New York and Norwtllk in. Had
the same proportion existed which now exists
in the fares of the two places, the fare to N_or-
walk should have been 81 cents, instead of 45 ;
it follows, therefore, that the relative rate of
increase must be greater to _Norwol_k than to
Stamford as a matter of strict justice to the
people of both places.-Stamford Advocate.

5- Most assuredly, and we have found no
fault with il.--but how does the‘ “ laudable
system of equalization” hold when we pass on
to Fairfield, Bridgeport and Stratford?

Ladies Literary Association.

This Society inst organized by the Ladies
of South Norwalk, has opened with a course of
Popular Lectures under the most flattering
auspices. This Tuesday Evening it has so
happened that they are to be favored with is
double portion of literary talent. Two of the
first Lecturers in the country, Rrtv H. W.
Panama, of Brooklyn, and Mr. Curran of New
York, (the Poet,) meet on the same Evening,
but as Mr. Cutter gives his humorous poem
“ The Human Tongue,” and Mr. Parker his
beautiful Lecture “The Divinity of Art,” the
Committee have consented to the double dose.
This will undoubtedly be the richest Lo.-cture‘
treat of the season.

 

Q Painful apprehensions are felt concern-
ing Capt. Ferris, of the schooner Josephine,
from South Norwalk. Nothing has been heard
from him since the terrible gels of Saturday
night week, and a rumor which is curt-en‘
here that the stern of a veasel with " Jose-
phine” upon it had come ashore at the east-
ward, gives intensity to the anxiety for his
safety.

P. S.—We learn that the wreck is believed
to be a New York vessel.-

 

In the. particular c; which ha; called forth
the remarks of the Gazette and the Auvoosru,
it is susceptible of proof that there were mm-
! unoccupied seats in the open cars at the
tune Mr. Wilson and " $100.00 0, or more”
broke open the locked car.—- Stem. ./ldvocarq

dence on that point, if that foolish law suit is

fl‘ A correspondent, says the Editor of
Graham’: Magazine, writes to know whetlwr
Dr. Kane intends publishing‘ ll volume on his
late Arctic-Expedition, andqhow soon the some
may be expected. We take this occasion to
inform our readers generally, that the Dr. has
been busily engaged, since his return home,
in preparing a full and complete account of
this, the most perilous and interesting voyage
of the age. Messrs. Childs &. Peterson. the
enterprlsing publishers of this cit}: (Philadel'
phia,) who have the work in hand, are sparing
no expense to make the book worthy of the
snbject, and judging from the fact that the es-
timated coatpf its production is upward of
$20,000, we have every reason to believe that
it will be one of the most magnificent and
elaborate works ever issued from the Ameri-
can press.‘ The paintings and drawings, from
sketches by Dr Kane, are belnt PENN‘ by
the distinguished artist,Jatnes Hamilton, Esq-.
who has devoted several years to the study of
Arctic subjects, in connection with Dr. Kane.
There will be twenty fine steel line-engravings,
including portraits of Dr Kane and Mr. Grin-
nell. executed under the superintendence of
J. M. Butler, Esq., who stands unrivalled in
this department. The wood cuts will be en-
graved in the highest style of the art by
Messrs. Van Ingenal Snyder, making in all
upwards of three hundred illustrations. We
would further state that it will be issued in
two handsome fitavo volumes, as early as
practicable the present year, at the low price
of S5 for the entire work.

week has given fl painful exhibition of corrup-
