The news by this arriral consitta mainly of .peace rumors, but the public had no metus of m timuliug their truth, and they are probably of lit tle value. It is a very noticeable circumstance that the assertions of the British press on the sub ject of negotiations ire quite at variance with trior of influential Continental papers. ' The London Timet, and Disraeli's organ, the London Preu, are prominent in awertiaf that peooo is near at baud, 'and that Austria ia about to address an ul timatum summoninj Russia, under the threat of breaking oft negotiations with her, to accept those conditions of peace which the Western Towers can admit at presort, but which they will not saseut to .for another successful campaign. 'With respect to Canrobert's mission, the London Times' Paris correspondent, under date of Dec. 4, soys : "Csnrobert has returned.

The Monittur will say something of it . iu a-few days. It is waiting for the adhesion of 'Denmark." The Loudon Pott says definitely, on the contrary, that no Convention has yet been en tered' into by Sweden. Some undertake to say that plans will be ar ranged between Napoleon and the Kiug of Sar dinia, with respect to Italy, that will render peace .impossible for years to come others, IhatNapo !lou itired of the expenses of the war, and really .desirss psacs. Meanwhile continued .preparation on the largest scale go forward for the spring cam paign. Private letters from St. Petersburg indicate no pressure for peace. The profits of the overland trade keep basiuess gonerslly up to a more favosubie point than anticipated. Government paper has not much deteriorated, and money is abundant at Moscow at 7 percent. ' The St Petersburg Northern Bee has sn edi torial bsaded "The War is only Begining," and declares that Russia hss ample resouiees to con tinue the war for years, The London Times has a reply to the Bet, as sorting that this boasting merely betrays weskness.

Orttntturg Dimoerml. tlT Those very "scientific writers" would do the world an immense favor if they should set their heads together and re model their calculations paraded before the (raze of the astonished multitude at "cu rious" beside relieving the minds of a few pious persons of any perplexities that may trouble them concerning the disposition and arrangement of such a vast number of bod ies pn the resurrection morn, supposing that sublime event It) take place the present year, or even within six thousand years from the time of Adam the conclusion of which latter period is so eonftJenily looked forward to by a large class of religionists as Ihe end and "consummation of all things," though wilh what reason is not particularly clear and satisfactory to any but themselves. Only think of the jumble consequent upon assembling Jive persons on each square fool of ground 1 And then of the astounding assortion that "the whole surface of our globe has been dug ever one hundred and twenty-eight timet to bury iu dead 1 The fact is, the whole extract above is nothing else than a butidlo of absurdities, from first to last, as will be readily perceived by any one who will take tho pains to ex amines the figurea closely. The calcula tions abound in errors geographical, errors mathematical, and errors typographical for which last, however, the "scientific wri ters" are not to be held responsible and it is a matter of astonishment that they could ever escape the eye of a sensible render. As a specimen of thu 'errors arithmetical, attention ia called to the absuidity of divi ding persons by square leagues, the quotient resulting in square miles of land! and then notice the outttge upon geographical propriety, of stating that there are 11,320, 680,732 square mile of land on the sur face of tho globe I nearly two hundred times more than there are in reality "which, being divided as before, howl will give 1,134,622,976 persons to each square mile." But these errors are of small importance when compared with the stupendous mis take upon which the whole of these wonder ful "calculations" rest. In the language oi the extract quoted above, "scientific writers assert that the number of persons who have existed since tho beginning of time amounts to SflS.im.ttfSoV The period, "the beginning of time," is rather an indefi nite stand-point from which to determine the number of persons who haver lived in the world ; for if we make the creation of Adam "the beginning," (which was un doubtedly intended by these "scientific wri ters,") the said "calculations" will fall very far short of the truth; or rather the age of the world according to the Jewish chronol ogy, about six thousand years, will not be great enough to meet the demands of these calculator : and even if we allow the fab ulous chronology of the Hindoos to be cor rect, with its hundreds of millions of years as the period since the creation, this will not satisfy the voracity of the "scientific wri ters," and in all probability we wiH have to ascend to hilliont in order to reach a num ber that will be sufficiently large. Let us take the number of those who have lived since the beginning of time, as stated above, 36,627,643,275,075,846, and divide it by 25,000,000, the number of those who die every year, (a fair estimate,) and we shall have 1,465,113,731, one billion our hun dred and eixty-five million one hundred and thirteen thoumnd teven hundred and thir-ty-one yare! as the age of the world, sup posing the estimate above of the number of persons who have ever lived to be correct which of coarse it is not. In this calcula tion we have allowed about 900,000,000 as the continual population of the world from the beginuing.
