A RUMOR. - A Washington letter writer of the New York Herald says : Orders hare been sent by the Sec retary Of the Nary to delay 11 vessels of war un der sailing orders, and bold them in readiness for immediate service. This precaution has been takes lajriew of our preseut critical relations witb Spain. .. Doubtful. We do not think Uncle Sara i apt to be scared before he is hurt. THE " GRAPE SHOT." There was a report brought by the Europa, that the American barque Grape Slot, which was some time ago freighted at New York -with muskets, by Mr. George Law, had turned privateer, and captured a French vessel off the English coast. This turns out to be a mistake. It was a Russian frigate that captured the French vessel. MANNERS AND FASHIONS. The last Westminster Review has an article of some length on Manners and Fashions. After en umerating the details and formalities which at tend fashionable society and formal associations, the writer speaks to the understandings and the heart, as follows : " How delightful a Pic Nic of friends, who forget all observances save those dic tated by good nature ! How pleasant the little unpretending gatherings of book-societies, and the like ; or those purely accidental meetings of a fjw people well known to each other ! Then, in deed, we may sec that a man " sharpeneth the , countenance of his friend." Cheeks flush and eyes sparkle. The witty grow brilliant, and even the dull are excited into saying good tbings. There is an overflow of topics ; and the rigbt thought, and the right words to put it in, spring tp unsought. Grave alternates with gay : now serious converse, and now jokes, anecdotes and playful raillery. Every one's best nature is shown; every one's best feelings are in pleasurable activi ty ; and, fot the time, life seems well worth hav ing. Go now and dress for some half past eight dinner, or some " ten o'c'ock at home," and pre sent yourself in spotless attire, and with every liair arranged to perfection. How great 1 be dif ference !" Some of our readers, at least have felt this dif ference. But the best of it is, that the scenes of Jieart-fcH pleasure above described, are open to the enjoyment of all ; while the freezing formali ties of social intercourse, where sentiment, esteem affection and resoect. are all conducted by the machinery of what is called politeness, can be enjoyed only by the few. The few only have the privilege of being ovtwardly gay and bland, while tbey are inwardly apathetic and cross. MR SOULE S DEMANDS. It is very difficult to get at the true position of Mr. Socle, and to find out what be is really say ing and doing. The following is the version of a late affair, given by the Madrid correspondent of the London Times. We copy it more for the pur pose of showing what ridiculous stories have been manufactured out of the diplomacy of our min ister. We do not believe that the statement is true but it is evident that the general impres sion is, that nothing is so absurd that it may not be attributable to our extraordinary Representa tive at the Spanish Court. On the arrival of the special messenger, Mr. "Winslow, with instructions, Mr. Sonle prepared and sent to the Spanish Minister of Foreign Af fixing M. Calderon de la Barca, a very calm, clear and firm demand, containing two propositions: firtt, indemnity secondly, guarantee for tbe future, by the appointment of a diplomatic agent at Ha vana, with powers to meet these cases. This was delivered to M. Calderon, with a request for a prompt response, but not specifying the time which was allowed to make the response. At the end of twenty-four hours, Mr. Soule, receiving no re ply; another note was sent, in substance the same as the first, and adding that if at the end of twenty-four hours a response was not received, he should take it for granted that the Spanish gov ernment approved the action of tbe Cuban au thorities, and he should act accordingly. This was delivered by the Secretary, Mr. Perry, in person. When M. Calderon bad finished reading the note, Mr. Perry coolly drew out his watch and said : ' " Tour Excellency will please observe that it is now 12 o clock ; at 12 o dock to-morrow, precise ly, I shall be here for a reply." "Holy Virgin ! young man, what do you meanl" exclaimed the Minister " holy week and a Sun day intervening : it is impossible !" Mr. Perry left Before the termination of the twenty-four hours, Mr. Soule received a response from M. Calderon, stating that it was out of the uower of the government to act in the matter, in asmuch as they had received no official intelli gence from Cuba to guide them in their negotia tions, and adding that the manner of Mr. Soule clearly indicated that tne government oi we urn ted State was much more anxious for a difficul tv than for a settlement. - To this -Mr. Soule responded, again reiterating bis first demands, and adding rather imperti nently, n 'tiros t be admit tea inai ne was sausneu that futt foformatieH-had been receired from Cu ba, and: that in reference to the designs of the United States, they sought only a prompt; settle Btentsf the ' difficulty in order to preserve tbe jaeacefal relations which existed between the two countries ; that the continued insults which the Cttbaa.. authorities had offered the United 8tates had so exasperated the people that a prompt set tlement vspuld be found the surest guarantee of continued peaceful relation.- At this stage of the proceedings, the Queen sent for Mr. Souhvwbo, It may as well be here repeat ed,' is in fSroi at the palace,, while, on die contra ry, Calderon Is hated by her.- Her Majesty, who Indulges in a very strong diet, into which brandy aadcigaxs nukea Jarjyantf who is not very ehofeo ia ber language, , wished to know of Mr. Souk) what the row meant between him and M. Calderon. On Mr. S. stating the case, she stamp. m ber foot tiotentijr on the floor, and said that Calderon was a d d fool ; that she wished Soule would manage the affair so as to get her rid of feini, and she advised him to press am hard." It i. niT!lv thbuzht in diplomatic circle in Paris, tit between Mr. Soule and tbe, Queen;. aldert mZl be loubAto cxmelusJflB-saoikia 'rf "archbishop hughes. Archbishop Hcaat ha a4dressc4 ' a-letter to the Editors of the New York Courier and Enqui rer, in regard to a- notice taken of him by Mr. Cam. in the Senate, in which the Archbishop is ia some measure denounced, as he says. Tbe sub ject which brought this matter up, is the proposi tion submitted by Mr. Cass, relative to tbe enjoy ment of American citizens of their forms of reli gious worship in foreign countries. He says he is not opposed to the humane views of Gen. Cass, and promises to answer him through the public press on this point. The feelings of the proud and arrogant prelate, are ill concealed by the fre quent repetition of sentences indicating great hu mility and self-abasement. The Archbishop has the following in his letter : The undersigned feels most deeply the disad vantages under which he must necessarily appear in venturing to review the dicta of so eminent a statesman as General Cass. General Cass is re garded, and I have no doubt deservedly, by al most a majority of the American people, as one of our most tried and worthy statesmen. Tbe undersigned, on the contrary, if he is known at all to any considerable portion of his countrymen, is known as far as certain newspapers distribute knowledge only as a narrow minded illiberal, bigoted adversary of the progress of our age and the development of our institutions. Most assuredly the newspaper accounts alluded to, give the true character of Hughes; and the just estimation of the parties, in the minds of in telligent men, is very well drawn in tbe extract. We must except from these intelligences, of course, those who have been schooled in the tu perstition and bigotry imposed by the Hierarchy, of which Hughes is a distinguished member. But if be expects to make any man in America believe he is the friend of liberty of conscience, in the expression of opinion or form of worship in religious matters, he counts " without his host." We mean men among that cla&s of citizens of ev ery sect and denomination, including his own, who have not become the minions of Popery and the slaves of its Priesthood. No freeman, in this res pect, will believe his assertions, when they belie every action of the religious party with which be is associated, from time immemorial down to the present hour whose intolerance and cruelty have been vindicated and sustained, in all nations and ages, with fire and the sword, and every species of personal oppression and of public and private wrong, from the massacre of whole communities in the world abroad, to the pelting of a harmless street-preacher in our America. MORE ANNEXATION. It is said that Qen. B-irtnuvnu, tho newly ap pointed Minister from Honduras, and shortly ex acted in Washington, has a proposition to make to onr Government, of the absolute annexation of Honduras to the Unite-! States, as one of tbe membes of onr confederacy. It is saiJ tho ad ministration i. startled at tho news. They had better find out that it is true beforo tbey get bad ly startled. The New Yuik lit raid, however, uhich has the telegraphic dispatch announing this exjx'cted proposition, seems to place great reliance ujon it. and congratulates the country upon the prospect before us. We subjoin a part of his comments : " The State or republic of Honduras lies ou the 8outh side of tbe gulf of that name, with the Slate of Nicaragua to tho south and Guate mala on the west. Of its superficial extent we have no accurate data. It is prob.ibly equal in size to the State of Ohio, without including the territory on the Atlantic coast occupied by Eng land as a sort of mahogany and logwood cutting colony, and which, we presume, is not included in the prnjet of Setior Barrnndia. It has a popu lation of 350 000, and its exports in 1835 were, according to McCulloch, S719.OO0. From the extreme fertility of the soil, and its varied tropir cal productions, und.-r our government these ex ports might be readily increased Yo eight or ten millions per annum, to say nothing of the miner al riches of the country. With the acquisition of Honduras, therefore, we should gain this amount of commerce, and lb Ira (lie in exchange for it We should also gain an important commercial and naval position in the gulf, commanding tho Carib bean sea and the western outlet into it of the Golf of Mexico In a politie.il view wc tdionlU acquire the nu cleus for the rapid, yet peaceful absorption of all the Central American States to the south and the went, and of the Mexican States to the northward. We should thns be taking Mexico in the front and in the rear; and the beneficial effects of An glo Saxon exterpii.se and our benign political in stitutions, would soon operate on lolh sides to bring the distracted and helpless Mexican States into our Union, like a fLick of sheep following their leader over a break in the fence, into a rich and unlimited pasture. The remaining States of Central America would nndoubtedly follow rapid ly in the movement of Honduras; and thns, with out war, and without Gadsden treaties, the key will be furnished by Gen. Birrnndia, for the an nexation, reclamation and development of the whole of that ast region extending from the Bio Grande to New Granada. Thus a line of policy is suggested by which we may scenre the seedy and absolute possession of all the isthmus inter oceanic passages, from Tehnntepec to Panima. and all the ports, keys, islands, bays, &c, on both sides, along several thousand miles ot sea coast." ALSO IN A RAGE. The Boston Alia, a well known leading Whig paper is very much in a rage about the Nebraska Bill almost as mad as the Tribune. He calls those Editors at the North, who sustain the Con stitution, " the purchased tools of an infamous government," and very much extols the Augusta Age, the leading Democratic paper in the State of Maine, for its manly and independent course. So it seems there are abolition nnlliflcrs in both par ties in New England. Very sorry the Atlas and its friends are so afflicted with " colica pangs," as a body might say but they have got to take the physic, nolens vokns. It will do them good all they have to do is to keep quiet. The Doctor ays you musn't get into a passion gents. Take a placibo in the shape of a lecture from parson Pabker, Fbed. Douglas, or some other of the re doubtable "Clergy" of New England. But don't let them learn you to curse folks so hard as they cursed the Senators. The Nebraska Bill will be come the law of the land. ' What ye goin to due abcout it," brother Jonathan 1 CHILD ABANDONED IN A IIOTEL.

Stephens of Georgia, moved ia committee of tbe wholo House ' to strike out the enacting clause of the BUI, with a view to cut off all amend ments and to report tho ; BUI to the' House to be voted upon, fin support of this motion he read the 119th rule, as follows : ; " A motion to strike out tbe enacting words of a bill shall have precedence of a motion to amend ; and if carried, shall be considered equivalent to it rejection." If the committee would strike out the enacting clause, the bill could be reported to the House without further amendments. When in the House the question would be upon agreeing to that re port. The friends of the bill would then jrote it down. It would then be in order, after that vote was taken, for the Committee on Territories Mr. Richardson to move the adoption of his substi tute, which tbey all wished to rote upon. The friends of the bill, standing together then, could be brought to a vote directly upon the measure. In this way they would get rid of those continu ous motions to amend the bill. He made this mo tion because he thought it was tfmo the House should be votiug on the bill. The friends and en emies of the measure had discussed it in the Sen ate and in the House and through the country. The mind of every man, he had no doubt, was made up. Already motions had been made to amend it iu its important features, and one motion Mr. Giddings objected to the motion as not be in in order. The Chairman decided that the motion was in order. Mr. Rogers felt it due to himself to introduce an amendment to the Bill., He said his constitu ents expected that he would move to amend the bill by adding the Clayton Proviso. Objected to.

But a vote in the negative being called for, it was taken and reported 22. The bill being reported to the House after vari ous motions, the report of the Committee (striking out the amending clause,) was not concurred in The previous questian was moved and sustained, and at a quarter past eleven at night the question on the final passage of the Bill was taken and de cided in the affirmative : The following is the vote on the pussagc of the bill .

ESCAPE OF A riCKPOCKET. The Elmira Daily Republican states that as the night express train on the Erie road was coming west, from New York, on Friday night last, Hon. A. B. Dickinson, of Steuben county, discovered a man picking the pockets of a lady passenger iu the car. He at once collared the rogne, and ex posed him to the passengers, so that there would be no trouble in placing him in the hands of an officer at the first stopping place. The man then quietly sat down in his seat for a few moments, (no one on board having the least idea that he would attempt to escape, as the train was going at a fearful rate,) when be rushed to the door and leaped from the cars ! Whether he landed safely or not on the "other side of Jordin," we did not learn ; but he no doubt found it a pretty "hard road," when he struck the ground.

The Baltimore Sun of Monday says : Tbe ship Sophia Walker, of Baltimore, sailed from Hamp ton Roads ou Friday, for Liberia via Savannah. She took ou board at this port 9T colored emi grants and at Norfolk 110 more. Of tbe latter, all bnt 15 were from Virginia. Several applications for passage were refused for want of room. It is said that quite a large number of emigrants are expected to go out in the next fall ship, from Pe tersburg, Richmond, Portsmouth, Norfolk City and the Western Branch. The spirit of emigra tion to Liberia is increasing. THE SCHOOLMASTER ABROAD.

Mr Lon Abchsishop t- I betf i thousnnrf pardon for Wt hastening: to present, at an earlier, day, ny felicitation nd congratulations on yonr safe return from the "Queen of the' Antilles." In truth, it wa;in my heart to do so as yon. had fairly er ot at Savan nah, on our glorious American oil; bnt my many engagement preTented , Again I beg you to par don this great dereliction, and impute it to Irre sistible necessity. Ek bien, me voice enfi. And first of all, allow me to say that I am most happy to hear that your eminence has returned in good health. This, is a great thing; Tour many and roost pressing du ties and cares, in pot only managing the arch diocess of New York, but also the vast anxieties which the six other areh-diocesses and the thirty two dioceasea of our great country must occasion you to say nothing of your occasional Interest in politics are quite enough to crush any man. It is absolutely necessary for yon to make a voy age from time to time, for the purpose of recruit ing your health and increasing your energies for the mighty labors and conflicts in which you are involved in your attempts to recover for bis Holi ness the vast domain which the pestilent heresies of Protestantism have created, and up to this day still holds, on this mighty continent of North America. As you have returned from a Spanish island, I take the liberty of most respectfully, and in true Hidalgo style, expressing to you my wishes that you may -live a thousand years." Dearest Archbishop, you mnst indeed be a pru dent man, after the model riven hv the "wi.-'e man" of the Bible, who says that "the prudent man foresee! h the evil, and hideth himself." A few years ago, when hard pressed by that obscure and contemptible antagonist, as your Grace con sidered him one Kirwan you made a hegira to Halifax. And a few months ago when you fore saw the storm which the visit of Monsignor Be diui was likely to create in our country, you sud denly found yourself unwell and made a second hegira not to the bleak coast of Nova Scotia, (for it was in the winter,) but very properly you took the opposite direction, and went down to the 'Sunny South," and landed on the shores of that island which, like a jewel, so adorns the brows if the Queen of Spain. It was not only prudent, but wise, in you to take that course, for it has ena bled you to discover that the Cuban Spaniards, Creoles, and negroes are not only an intelligent, moral,-and relij;iios H-oplo, but also industrious, enterprising,, well-governed and happy, finder the sway of IsabeHa ll. of Spain. This' is a great discovery, and I, for one, heartily thank you for making it. sLet mc brg your Grace to lose no time, but enter at once on a mission through our. States begining at Washington city fon the pur pose of convincing our filibusters that thero is no need of their putting themselves to Mich trouble and the exienditure of so much precious sym pathy and valuable treasure, in behalf of a peo pie who really do not need either their pity or their help. Dearest Archbishop, I pray you to undertake this good enterprise without a mo menl's delay, for the cae urgent. Now is the moment for yon to rendet immense service to our country and humanity. But, moncher, )ermi( me to say that I think it was hardly kind in you to fly from yonr post and abandon your venerable Italian fr iend, the Arch bishop of Thebes, in the hour of need. Has any one told your Grace, since yonr return, what dreadful troubles the poor old amiable gentleman fell into how ho came on in digulse from his farewell visit to President Pierce and his oth'er good friends at Washington city including those conpassionate Senators who, out of the purrs' kindness, tried to vindicate his character and hi name to the city of New York, and took refngc, not in Jou(r arJiitpiscopalaceuf lu bscure lodgings in the upper )wrtWfitUecity, a few days before the steamship AthwAie'saflcdl Have you learned the grcst dlfflcully. our worthy Mayor, Mr. Westervclt, had in finding the ArchbUhop's place of concealment, and the still greater diffi culty be had in quieting his most distressing fiats the cogitations of both about the best mode of escape the refusal of Mr. Collect or Red field to allow a revenue cutter to be used to take Monsignor down to Stalen Island the chartering of a steamer to bear the august representative cf his Holiness in ignominious flight from the city of New York, down our noble bajl Has any one, my Lord Archbishop, among the "faithful" in this city, told you all these things! We all felt innch concerned for the hooer of tho Holy See, which was so tdnmefully contemned in the person of the illustrious Bedini, the first Nuncio, or qnasi-Nunch whom tin.' I'opc has ever deign ed to send us". Really it was too bad that Fath er Gavuz.i and other Italian exiles should have been so naughty as to expose the conduct ol Monsignor, when acting as Legato of the Pope at Bologna. But you know how it is, dearest Arch bishop, with us in this wonderful country. Our people are sadly deficient in rcsject to mere offi cial dignity and pietension, unsustained by ac knowledged merit. Alas! I do not see much prospect if their mending their manners in this particular. My dear Archbishop, I feel constrained to say that during your lordship's absence. that strange or ganization of extraordinary patiiots tho "know nolbineV has been making great progress among us. I fear that wc have ii"t aeon anything more than the commencement of this great move ment. It is sad to think that all this is owing to the growing insolence of curtain rsons who claim to speak for 'Holy Mother Church"' in this America of ours. I iray you, good Archbishop to look after the editor of jourown "organ" the Freeman's Journal as well as tho Shepherd of the Valley, which is the organ of the Bishop of St. Louis, bear his Imprimatur (notwithstanding I tit assert ion of Senator Mallory to the contrary) Still more: I pray yon to have a sharp eyo npou Mr. Orestes A. Brownson. TIm-'so proselytes of Protestantism often become tell fold more the votaries of Romanism than those who have had the honor ofconvertiugthem. If you do not take care, those neophyte, Phteton-Hke, will drire the car of Rome to destruction. 1 pray you to lose no time in getting the reins and whip ont of their hands. They are quite too Imprudenf. Only thiuk of their folly in broaching openly, and evcu advocating, all the most monstrous doctrines which Roma held in the middle ages, and .main taining that she holds them still! These g.-nt le mon are going quite too fast. They glory in the essential, innate, indestructible intolerance of the Roman Catholic Church. Only hjTbk of their ast.oundibg rashnes! Wby, they go as far as. th editor of the 1nirers, tho great ultra Mtmt mite journal of Parte. Agate: I pray , you, dearest A rchbishop, to look after those gentlemen and several other editor of Roman Catholic papers among niTejjir endangering the" old hip, whoso pilot they have undertaken to be. Look well after them.

A BLOW AT THE PRESS OF THE SOUTH. The Baltimore Evening Times, speaking of the recent verdict in New York against John M. Pan iel, Esq., says : The robbery of Lemmon in New York, of his slaves, has hardly been forgotten. We have to record another case, more dangerous in its fea tures and more fatal in its consequences. A Vir ginia Editor has been made an example of, for daring to say that in bis opinion tbe "Boydell Illustrations of Shakspeare" of which one Spooner of New York is proprietor, was a "humbug and imposition." For so expressing himself in Vir ginia, John M. Daniel has had awarded against him damages to the amout of eight thousand dol lars. Tremble ye Editors of Virginia, if you dare expose the corruption of abolitionism, and hum bugery of New York publications. They have not only robbed you of your property, but now say, that they will curb the right of speech in Vir ginia. The press of the Old Dominion, is to be gagged by damages awarded in New York by abolition juries. This, in our opinion, is the greatest and grossest indignity ever offered to the free press of this country. It should be passsed around. The press of Richmond should ring it in the ears of the people of that State, and awake them to this bold attempt place them in a state , of mental subjection. The motive and principal of the ver dict are monstrous.. How do the merchants of Virginialike thia counterpart of the Lemmon case? How many thousands of dollars are they prepared to contribute in the way of trade to New York, thus enabling her abolition influences, thus made strong by Southern patronage, to rob onr citiz? ns and brenk down onr press 1 Let those who prate so glibly about only one kind of "interest," the "interest" of dry goods and groceries in New York. remember that there is a greater "inter est" the immense slave interest of the South. Thevgraduat. encroachment upon the South by these New York gormandizers will eventually subvert an "interest," the products of which now form the wealth of the country. When will the people of the South practically carry out the doc trines of the Memphis and Charleston Convention 1 When will they in good hearty earnest put their shoulder to the wheel iu the great effort for Com mercial Independence 1 Why wait for such spurs as this bold attempt to gag the Southern press, to arouse their determination 1 ANO'tHER BRIDGE DISASTER. Saturday about 10 o'clock, say the Washing ton Union of Monday, the lower bri''e which spanned Rock creek, tho seperat ion -line between Washington and Georgetown, whilst two orunibua es, eiicfc with two horses attached Wcre slowly passing over it the on coming towards Wash, ington and the other going to Goorgotown-gavo way about the middle f the structure, and the vehicles were precipitated into the creek. There were six passengers in one, and three in the other omnibus. The lamentable effect's of this disaster it is now our painful duty to chronicle. . Our es. teemed fellow-citizen, G n. Roger C. Weightman had one of his arms broken, and Daniel McGiuney, one of the drivers, had a leg broken, and one or two other jHrsons teceived Might injuries .-.from the fall. There was but one lady passenger, and we r'j iice to -uy that she sustained but littfc, if any injury. Upon inquiry last evening, wo were informed that General Wcightmau was doing well although ho was suffering a good deal of pain Mr. McGiu ney is a yonng nun, about nineteen years of age, of mot exemplary character, and he was convey ed to the residence of his widowed mother, in the lower part of the city. We regret to add that fears were entertained by his surgeon last even ing that amputation ot tbo-limb would be neces sary. Two ol the horses were severely cut and bruised, and the vehicles (nb of which was uew) were thoroughly demolished. t- Four Fires at Richmond within Twelve II onr. The following 1s a letter to the Petersburg Ex pre, Dated May 21 : , Gkntlemen.: I have barely time to inform you before the departure of the train, that the jncen diary is busily at work in this city, and We have had four fires here since last night 11 o'clock. About 1 1 o'clock, the large framed dwelling and kitchen attached, situated on Main, between Sec ond and Third streets, and occupind by Mr. Wil liam W. Snead ,-orre of oar most worthy and en terprising mechanics, 'was burnt to the ground. I have not heard as regards insurance, etc. About the same hour at which Mr. Snead's dwel ling burnt, two stables, one on Church Hill and the other in the vicinity of the Poor House were dis covered to be on fire, both of which were entirely destroyed, the firemen not knowing scarcely what to do in the emergency. And this morning about the dawn of day, the largo brick stable of Mr. William Catlin on Church Hill, was fired, and burnt to the ground. Our city seems to be in fested with a desperate gang of incendiaries, and I am pleased to see that the citizens of Richmond are at last fully aroused in-regard to the '-matter. Great excitement prevails, and wo be unto the individual convicted of such an offence. His life will be tho forfeit you may rest assured. . . Yours, dtc. "SjH.AMAN-oxa.'" THE DEBATE. .

The steamer Franklin from Havre and Bbfilbampton, arrived at Sandy Hook at 1 1 o'clock, bringing dates from Liverpool to the 10 inat. The Franklin brought ISO passengers, and among them M. de Cueta, minister of Spain to the V. 8., and Mr. Winslow, bearer of despatches from Spain. The Franklin, yesterday, off Nantucket 8hoals, came in contact with the propeller Wm. Perm, in a fog. No serious damage. The steamer Arctic had not arrived at Liverpool when the Franklin left Southampton. ' - The Herman arrived off Cowes on the 6th. The American reached Liverpool on the 8th. There had been no tidings received at Liverpool of the steamer City of Glasgow, up to the time of the sailing of tbe Franklin. She was now believed to be irretrievably lost. The mission of Lotd Elgin, (formerly Governor of Canada,) is supposed to relate to the fishery difficulties, and the question of reciprocal trade between tbe United States and the British Pro vinces. He came out by the previous steamer. He is colonial Governor of Canada. . . THE WAR. No special event of importance had occurred at the scat of war, though.' intelligence of active warfare was momentarily expected. The Russian fleet is reported to have sailed from Ilelsingfors on the 5th of May, w ben Sir Charles Napier signaled the allied fleet to prepare for sea Immediately. Nothing of importance had been received from the Black Sea or the Danube. A camp of 100,000 men is to be formed near St. O mens, partly as a demonstration against Russia, and partly to throw troops from there into tl.e Baltic when necessary. Austria has presented fresh terms to Russia, which, if declined, she will join England and France. The Russiar.s version of the bombardment of Odessa claims it as a brilliant feat on the part of the Russians, and states that the Czar' bad be stowed decorations upon, the officers engaged in it. Tho Russians acknowledge four killed and CI wounded at the, bombardment of Odessa. Admi ral Dunda's official report had not yet been re ceived. An additional camp of 50,000 French troops had been formed near Marseilles. The Tnrks are about to blockade the Grecian ports. The Shnh of Persia has become hostile to Rus sia, and is raising an army of 50,000 men. The Turks have advanced from Knlafatto Kra jova. ENGLAND. The income tax has been doubled in England the malt tax has been raised, and a duty put on sugar. FRANCE. The Paris' Bourse rose on the report that Den mark and Sweden had joined the Western powers. INDIA. , - The India mail had arrived at Trieste with Hong Kong dates of March 27th, and Calcutta ef April 6tb. The Russian East India fleet had left Manilla for Data via.

Wc understand that $490, 000 of the Capital Stock of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad have 'been sutiscribed at Ra leigh, by a company from the North. Gentlemen, be on the alert, and discharge your duty in this matter. , You have obligations to yourselves and to your children, which should not be disregarded. A word to the -wise is svJjicienLr-; Atlantic, We look upon the above as rather omiitious of good than otherwise, as showing most positive ly that the road .vill be built. ,And.we -trust that those, upon Whom devolves tlie very important duty of "seeing to this matter," will not 'fail-to act wisely and promptly. If the Road is eventually to run to Beaufort or Beaufort Harbor via New-Bernk then there should certainly, be no hesitancy in subscribing the S150,000aiid,doubtles,tock amounting to 550,000, or $100,0000 additjonai will be readily taken in furtherance of its construction, saying nothing of the sum that . will be subscribed by other countiesthrough wbieb.it will pass. AVir. Excitement and t.yt.cU Law In Arkansas. The citizens of Crittenden comity, Ark., have recently been much excited ( against a desperate gang of outlaws in that coohty, and a, few days ago an affray occurred in which a Dr. Dtfwitt, son-in-law of J. Abels, one of tho alleged offenders was shot dead by R. P.Talley, in self-defence. Soon after a meeting of one hundred citizens tcok place, and proceeded to the house of Abels to tear it down, but desisted through tho entreaties of bis family, who promised to leave the county. They were subsequently informed tlint the house would bo cannonaded the next day if they did not leave. A public meeting was then held, and resolutions adopted notifying Abel to leave tbe county by the 13th inat., and giving nine others until the 15th to leave, or else abide the consequences.
