Arrival ot'the Arabia. | ONE WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE. I HALIFAX, Marcli 12.—The Curtard steam ship Arabia, from Liverpool, whenoe she sailed at 10 o'clock, on the afternoon of Sat urday, the Ist insl., arrived here last evening at 11 o'clock. The Arabia brings 133 passengers. Her advices are one week luter than those by the Africa. The excitement in relation to an appre hended difficulty with the United Slates had become totally extinct. The Lord Mayor of London gave a banquet to Mr. Buchanan, but that gentleman was unable to .attend, having been summoned to dine with Queen Victoria. THE PEACE CONGRESS. The plenipotentiaries to the Peace Con gress nave held three sessions at Paris, but the proceedings have not been suffered to transpire. The first meeting was held on the 25th j ult., at which Count Walewski presided, opening the session with a speech. After exchanging credentials, a written guarrantee I was signed by the members not to divulge 1 the proceeding until the Conference closed its sessions. An armistice has been decided on, to con- j tinue until the end of March ; which is how ever, not to affec't the blockade of the Baltic por'e. The Austrian propositions were formally paraphrased as the basis of the negotiations, . and the meeting fhen adjourned. On Tuesday no meeting was held, but on Wednesday the Conference was again in ses- | eion, but nothing transpired. Among the rumors abounding, it is assert ed that Ilussia, while assenting to the de struction of Sevastopol, Boniarsund and Ni colaieff, refuses to relinquish the piolcctora'e of the Greek Church. aY ienna letter asserts that Prince Gor'.es chakoff slated that the Russian Government considers that the convocation of a .Generul European Congress, immediately after the conclusion of a peace, as the beet means ol settling all questions. France and ikueiria favor the idea, but England objects. The evident cordiality existing between France and Austria begins to excite uneasi ness in England,and a triple league between France, Austria and Russia issutmisad as not an improbable incident in the future. Orders have been forwarded to the Allied 1 Generals respecting the armistice. Ic is stu- j ted that Napoleon has intimated to tl e Gen - \ erals and Admirals in Paris, that they proba- j bly will no! be required to return to lite Cri- | mea. Leave of abseneo is now freely given to the 1 officers on duty fn the Crimea. . j The Allies are about to destroy the sunken ' ships iu tho harbor of Sebaatnpol by dropping heavy slielis designed to explode oeuealh the i water.

Stoddard's Philosophical Arithmetic, a higher work for Colleges and advanced class es in Union Schools, Seminaries and Acade mies, CO cents. A whole volume of the most exalted rec ommendations of this series of Arithmetics, from the best Educators in all sections of the country, who have used ihetn,cnn be shown. The following will be sufficient lor tbe pres ent purpose. BROOKLYN SCHOOLS. Having submitted "Stoddard's Intellectual Arithmetic lo the practical test of the school room, we have no hesitation in expressing a preference for it over all text Books •on the subject. Tbe author has taken a de cided step in advance ol those who have preceded him; and his tabdrs are likely to do much toward popularizing a study, the • mpo lance of which as u mental discipline can hardly be ovor estimated. The works formed)' in use were dificient of systematic arrangement, were neither gradual enough ill their transitions, nor sufficiently comprehen sive And varied as regards their examples.— Stoddard's nu the oilier hand, is an eminent ly practical book ; philosophical in its ar rangement, natural and lucid in itsanalaysis, original in ils design, adapted at the com ! niencenient to tbe comprehension of begin i tiers and carrying the pupil by easy induct ive steps through the most complicated oper alions it -eems invuluerable to criticism, and leaves little or nothing to be accomplished |by ft,inre authors oil tMs subject. The ex -1 ample* are numerous and vaf'cd, embracing ■ all eaeb likely to arise in business; anu ' there are not less than fiity j ages of ques tions capable of Algebraic solutions. The I Chapters on Percentage, interest and Dis ! count, are wotiliy of special commendation. In these lite ainKOr has an entire original j plan; which enables the pupil to solve meii | tally, with perfect ease, questious which, I without litis drilling, few are able to manage | even on the slate. | In view ol these striking and excellent lea j lutes, we warmly commend I'tol. BtodllatU'a i work to all who are interested in the educa j lion of youth. I Sijßetl by ten principals of the Brooklyn , Public Schools. Monro Collegiate Institute, |* Elbridge, Onondaga Co., N.

Each book is j superior in :ts kind and for the purpose for j urhirh it was designed: and taken together they constitute the most perfect -Series of I Arithmetics that I have ever seen.

At least ; one or more new series of readers ought in my opinion to be immediately adopted for our use" by the Board of Education, and 1 be lieve none would more generally please the : teachers of our school, or tend lo interest and ' edify their pupils or lead lomore satisfactory results than the series under consideration.

From what I know of these Reader*, and from Iho testimony of others in whom I have the fullest confidence, 1 belirve them to be superior to any of those now in use in our Schools, and hope to see their claim ac knowledged by a speedy and general adop tion.
