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.
Vienna advices slated thai lsmal Pacha
succeeds Omar in the Atlantic command.—
Omer recently demanded from the -Porte
the appointment of Minister of War, and on ]

A whole volume of the most exalted rec
ommendations of this series of Arithmetics,

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.

j Gentlemen—l examined the copies of Stod
dard's Series of Arithmetics, with which yon
j kindly furnished me in July last, and was so
' well pleased with the result of that examina
| lion, that at the opening of the Fall Term .of
j the Institute I introduced lite Intellectual
| and the Practical, and at the commence
-1 ment of lite Winter Tetm, the Philosophical.
| The result has far exceeded my expectations,
i They have triumphantly passed that most
i searching of all tests for school books—the
) class and the recitation room. 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. I can
' honestly, as well as earnestly commend them
j to the attention of teachers and others inter
ested in the promotion of this important study.
Yours very truly,

Tuo selections are varied, interesting and j
instructive ami cotitainiug some of the purest I
gems of thought and expressions to be louild j
in the language.
'To the student they afford the necessary
facilities for becoming a good reader, at the
same time they are all calculated to form a
correct taste to instil noble and elevated sen
timents, and lo iinnart a relish for those pleas
ures which arise from the contemplation of

They are well adapted for Text Books in

of the series.

As Chairman of the Committee on School

lo Webb's Series of Readers
I have examined said Readers with con
siderable care, tftd am therefore prepared to
say, that 1 should be much gratified with
their introduction into our schools. 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

' edify their pupils or lead lomore satisfactory
results than the series under consideration.

Having learned that the Committee of

mend a new series of Readers for the use of
our Schools allow me to express the hope
that you will give Webb'a Normal Series a
favorable 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
