The Arabia arrived at Liverpool Oo* tober 29. The Baltic’s news is interesting, but may be briefly told.- A Vienna despatch announces that an armistice between Turkey and Rus sia was agreed to at an indefinite peri od, The dispatch materially advanced prices of English and French funds. Another dispatch said that a satisfac tory diplomatic note o f four powers was on the way to Constantinople, and that the supposed armistice was to allow lime for its acceptance. This further strengthens the funds, but it began to be rumored^ that the so called armistice was a conditional order to Omer Pacba not to commence hos tilities till the 1st Fov. if he has not al ready began. This depressed the stock market and it was further depressed by a telegraphic statement apparently au thenticated that the Turks had crossed the Danube in strength and occupied Kalapat jvith the intention to attack the Russians in the open, field. Now the fact is that Hhe public 3o not know, and have not- the means of knowing, which of those conflicting statements to believe, consequently all are trembling, waiting for later news. There have been desperate riots at Wigan, Lancashire. England, by turn oqt operatives and Colliers, much property destroyed by rioters, troops were called out. Mr, Soule had presented his creden tials to the Queen of Spain, and was graciously received. Mr. Heap, U. S. Consul at Turin, died suddenly. The clipper Aberdeen arrived at Liv erpool Monday 81st, 137 days from Canton. The Moniteur contains strong en couragement to growers of cotton “ Algeria. •V ebt LATEST.—The Turkish Cav alry and Infantry Corps, crossed the Danube and took possession of Kalafat, and more still passing. Another dispatch says 20,000 Turks crossed the Danube near Weder, and occupied Kalaft without permission. The Russians having retreated. The London Times has a dispatch from Constantinople to the 22d, saying the Austrian Envoy had submitted to the Sultan a draft of a note from the four powers, said note having been pre viously accepted by Russia. T he M anufactoke op W rought I ron D irect from the O re . —Feeling inter ested in the new* inventions for the man ufacture of wrought iron direct from the ore, we took the opportunity last week of visiting the American Iron Compa ny’s work at Newark, J.* The fur nace is constructed on the plan of James Benton’s'patent, Thinking |t conducive to the iron interests, we will give the result of our observations. The invention is based upon the prin ciples of deoxydisation in close tubes, and the ore, when deoxydised, delivered in that state into the furnace, w ithout allow ing it to come in contact with the atmospheric air. The indistinctive fea ture of the furnace strikes us as being highly scientific, and the true cause of its success. The arrangement consists of a brick chamber, in which is con tained a series o f brick tubes, holding from six to ten tons of pulverized ore and carbon, placed in connection with an ore box that leads directly into the furnace. The flame and heat pass around the tubes on their way to the chimney. When the ore has been ex posed to a high red heat for about eighteen hours, it is let down by a sim ple mechanical arrangement on an in clined plaue into the furnace, and is readily welded together and taken out to the hammer. The ore being perfect- fy protected from the vrasting and inju-' rious effect of the flame and gasses of the furnace during jtbe process of de oxydisation, which would otherwise ox- ydise the ore and cause it to run to slug, as have been*^fully proved by experi ments and vast expenditure of money in trying to work the ore in open cham bers, but in this furnace, the ore is wrought into the metallic state in the tubes,, and is delivered into the furnace, prepared' to be welded together into halls of pure- wrought iron, o f superior quality. — M e r c , Jou r , I 4 IQXJOR A mong the I ndians .—Gov.

No. 16 West; Seventeenth street. The late Consul bad a very brilliant and diotin- guished career, both as a soldier of France and a diplomat of that kingdom. He was taken from the military college of Metz at an early age, about the pe riod of the first decline ef the empire of Napoleon, arid was attached to the staff ofMarshal Gerard a.s an Aid de-camp. In this capacity he served at the bat tle of Ligny, in which engagement the deceased officer was wounded in the side. He was subsequently advanced to the rank of Major General, and was present upon the field of Waterloo.— For his conduct there he was promoted to the rank of Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, and is, consequently, entitled to have his name enrolled upon the list of the veterans of that high grade. When the empire finally fell, he came to the United States and sojourned for a time at Bordentown, New Jersey, the S6at of Joseph Bonaparte, Count de tSarvilliers. He subsequently fixed his residence in New York, and was a brief period the second editor and proprietor of the Courier of the United Slates — After the- French revolution of 1848 and the accession' of Louis Napoleon to the Presidency of Republic, the deceas ed lived retired from active life until the friendship of the Prince President invested him, in 1850, with the func tions of Consul General, to which of fice he has just died.

He had his examination before Justice Tucker* of Berkshire county on Monday last; when his bonds for appearance at trial were fixed at $1500: He was sent to New York to procure the requisite security, and if he pro cures it, as he probably will, there will be an end to the case.
