FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
More Peace Rumors.
Nsw Yon., Jan. 6.—The steamship Arago
with London dates to December 19, arrived at
2 o'clock this afternoon.
. The London Daily News affirms that Swe
den has ratified the treaty with England and
France. The allied powers . guirantee . the ter
inißgrity-of-Swederi,..:and- the-latter -en
gages not, to alienate any part of her territory
t9 -Russia ; the contracting parties also engage
_An communicate reciprocally all propositions
coming front. Russia.
Rumors of peace were still abundant in
France and England.
Count Esterhazy had left Vienna for St. Pe
tersburg on the 18th, with important dispatch
es containing propOsitions of a pacific nature.
It was stated that if the Czar refuses an ac
ceptance Austria will withdraw her ainbassa
dor -from St. Petersburg.
Both the London News and Times express
strong doubts of the acceptance of the proposi
tions by-the Czar.. Count Esterhazy.'s instruc
tions are to return immediately in the event of
the Czar's refusal to negotiate.
- The difficulty which existed betiveen the
English and the French governments ralative
to the_ cor.ditions on which peace should be
made, have been arranged through the efforts
of the King of Sardinia.
The surrender of Kars to the Russians has
been confirmed. Nine Riches, together with
Gen. Williams and sixteen thousand troops,
were made prisoners. Among the munitions
of' war taken were one' hundred and twenty
"field pieces and some heavy guns. The Rus-
sian General 13elutoff has established his head-
quarters at Kutais, and intends shortly to re
sume the offensive against Anakla and Redoubt
Kale. The army was abunnantly supplied
with provisions by the Armenians. The de
files between Kars alid Erzeroume were held
by the Russians.
The affairs in the Crimea were quiet. -
Great preparations Continued to be made by
the Russians on the Baltic for the reception of
the 'British fleet next spring.
Eloux.—The market has been dull.
Three Days Later from Europe.
HAuFax, Jan. Bth.—The anxiously expected
steamer Canada arrived here this forenoon,
bringing hey regular dates, having sailed from
Liverpool on Saturday, the 22d ult.'
Her news is simply confirmatory of previous
rumors as to the prospects of peace and the
speculations concerning Esterhazy's mission.
The report that -a treaty between Sw Nen
and ths.-allies had been concluded is confirmed.
Affairs in the Crimea and in Asia were quiet.
BREADSTUFFS. —The market had slightly de.
dined and there was only a small demand.
The Snow Storm—Detention.of Mails.
• llALwax, Jan. 6, P. M.—The storm which
commenced here on_ Saturday is. unabated.
The snow is now four. feet deep and a terrific
gale is blowing. .
BOSTON, Jan. 6.—We have a foot and a.half
of snow here and badly drifted. All travel is
suspended. A dispatch from the North East
represents the storm as unprecedented.
NNW YORK, Jan, 6.—The snow is 18 inches
deep here. All travel is suspended. All mails
due here are delayed by the snow storm. The
Pilot line of last night only arrived at noon to
day from Philadelphia. The snow in many
places is four feet deep.
WASITINGTON, Jan. 6.—We have about eight
inches of snow on a level here. No New York
mail has reached here sinee Saturday morning,
in consequence of the storm.
LEGISLATIVE. BousG. —Governor Gardner, of
Massachusetts, gives the borers at the State
Capital a heavy rap. The lobby members he
considers a public nuisance, and their presence
near the legislature renders impartial debate
impossible, and public deliberation a delusion.
The remarks are applicable both to our own
legislature and to Congress. The business of
a borer is subversive of all fair investightion
and of meritorious and unobtrusive claims.—
No honest legislator can listen to such dishon
est agents and retain the respect or confidence
of his constituents.
DEPARTURE OF " FiLLIBUSTERS. " —The steam
ship Prinnetheus, which sailed from New Or
leans on the 26th ult. for Punta Arenas, Nica
ragua, took out 86 men, under command of
Cot. Fisher, all bound to the new Republic of
Gen. Walker. She also had 42 passengers for
Cot. 'Kinney's camp, all said to be carpenters,
blacksmiths, painters, printers, &c. The next
steamer is expected to take down several hun
dred men.
DEATII OF ToA TUUMB'S FATIIKR. —The father
of General Tom Thumb, Mr. Stratton, who re
sided near Bridgeport, Conn., died on Friday
evening. His mind had become disoidered.—
It is understood that he had acquired a fortune
by the exhibition of the little general, which
will now be divided between the widow, the
renowned dwarf and his two married-sisters.

(o"Sleighing in Philadelphia is a costly
business, but still it is enjoyed on an extra-
sive scale. The In
Lions thi on Tuesday a gentleman called at
a livery stable, and the charge for a sleigh,
pair of horses and a driver was ten dolor. per
hour! In other cases, however, five dollars
per hour were Paid, for three or - four hours at
a time. A new omnibus sleigh , with six hor
ses was engaged by a gentleman for the ac
commodation of his family, during the after
noon, at_aost of jiffy dollars.
Sad Railroad Collision.
POLIVITHEXPSTE, N. Y., Jan. 9-11 o'clock,
P. M.—The express train from Albany. for
New York stopped just below here this after
noon, on account of a defect in the track, when
it was run into with great force — by another
train from Poughkeepsie, bound in the same
direction. Two cars of the former train were
demolished and three persons killed—a Mrs.
Green, of Utica, and - a young man and women,
names unknown. Twehty-two persons were
more or less injured, several of whom Were not
expected to recover.
Compressing the Bulk of Flour.
The Albany Journal states that Louis Na
poleon' whom men begin to recognize as a
Napoleonic sort of a man, in 1853 conceive&
the idea that it would be practicable to corn
press flour so as to diminish the bulk, and in
that way facilitate its transportation, and yet
not injure its quality.. In July'of that year,
an experiment was made by his command to
test. his views. Flour, subjected to a hydrau
lic pressure of 300 tons, was reduced in
.vol
ume more than 24 per cent. On close exami
nation, it was found to_ possess all the quali
ties it bad previous to its violent •treatment.
It was then.put in zinc • boxes and sealed up.
At the same time, other flour manufactuted
from the same wheat. but not compressed, was
sealed up. In October thereafter, several box
es containing both kinds of flour, were opened
and examined. The pressed was pronounced
to be the best. Twelve months after this, in
October, 1854, another examination took place,
and with the same result. The two kinds
were then kneaded into loaves and baked.
The pressed flour made the best bread. In
March, '55, more of the zinc boxes were open..
ed, and on examination the loose flour showed
tnouldiness, while the pressed was sweet and
retained all its qualities. Made into bread,
the same differences were observable. The
Emperor has ordered experiments to he made
at sea, as well as on land. Men-of-war are to
to take out both kinds of flour, and both are
to he sent on. sea voyages to hot and cold lati
tudes, and examinations are to be made and
recorded of the influence of climate and salt
air upon each.
FRAUD IN PACKING- FLOCR.—When flour is
sold at a reasonable price,,jt is but just that
the purchaser should. receive full and lawful
weight, but at the present high rates it is a
most rascally act for packers or millers to cheat
in the weight. A retail merchant, doing bus
iness in the Ninth Ward, yesterday infortned
us that he had. just purchased a dray load of
flour, and after having it hauled to his store,
he found that there were no taro marks on the
barrels, and that they h.d not been inspected.
On weighing the barrels, eight in number, he
discovered that they were six pounds short.
each—being a loss in all of forty-eight pounds ;
or, at the retail price. $2 40. --The gentleman
from whom the flour was purchased stated
that the lot had been . paid for before its deliv
ery, and the seller had made himself scarce
ever since.—Piltsburg Union.
EXECUTION OF Ml4.T.Eit.—ilallt more, Jan. 5.
—Frederick Miller, convicted of the nmrder of
Dr. Nadel and Fretlerick Graff. at Cumberland,
a few months since, was hung there yesterday,
at 1 o'clock, in the presence of 8000 spectators.
During the night previous he called for bread
and water, and upon its being furnished him
read the sacramental service of the Lutheran
church, partaking of these emblems with much
apparent fervor. He also wrote a note and
handed it to the jailor, which, however, was
nothing more than a reiteration of his inno
cesice. His spiritual adviser, the Rev. Mr.
Maier, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Clemm,
entered his cell between 9 and 10 o'clock,
when the former again appealed to him to con
fess his crimes. and prepare. himself for the
awful doom awaitinehim. When told by him
that all believed him guilty, and attributed
his denial only to stubbornness and hardened
.feelings, he became somewhat excited, and de
nounced the jurors and witnesses. charging
them with poUnry. There is no doubt, how
ever, of his guilt.
7On last Saturday. Mr. John Reichardt,
nn old employee of the Northern Central Rail
way Company, met with a serious accident,
by which he was deprived of his right arm.—
His arm was caught by the machinery of-4,he
stationary engine whilst that engine was used
in pumping water into the engine-house. Both
arum were injured, but the lett arm only slight
ly. Amputation of the right arm was immedi
ately necessary. It will be remembered that
a few years since Mr. Reichardt had a r,h i!d —a
deaf mute—killed by the cars running over it.
—York .Hdv. tT7, --- Reichardt is dead.
SAP AccrnENT.—The sheriff of ifocking
county, Ohio, was accidentally killed on Friday
week, by being run over by a pair of runaway
horses. He had been standing in a store. and
hearing the noise stepped out on the sidewalk
just as the team came along. lie was struck
on the head by the end of the tongue, and so
badly injured that he lived but a short time.
