The Times has received the following letter from
Odom% dated the 28.11.
"Our peaciehd city hes lately been the scene of cow-

QUEENSTOWN, WIDNISDAT.
The serew steamer City of Washington, from New
York on the 7th inst., arrived here at 8.30 this morn-
ing, with 118 cabin and 216 steerage passengers,
a large cargo, and an amount of specie. She
landed 120 passengers, and then proceeded for Liver-
pool at 7.43. Wind N, weather fine. '
WASHINGTON, MAT 6.—Senor Maite had an in-
terview with the Secretary of State with reference
to Mexicidi Weirs. His letters from Mexico are en-
couregiug, and he entertains no doubt of the tri-
umphant sitcom of the liberal party.
It is intimated that Mr. Cobden, daring his late
stay at the White House, availed himself of the
opportunity to sound the President on the subject
of a moral interposition of the United States in the
present entangled and menacing affairs of Europe.
General Ciao had an interview with Lord Lyons
yesterday, and Senor Maite to-day, on business con-
nected with their respective governments.
Utah affairs still occupy the attention of govern-
ment. Judge Crabbelbough has not, as reported,
been removed, although the probability is that he
will be so.
CINCINNATI, MAT B.—The steamer Jacob Taylor, in
attempting to land at the wharf this morning, struck
• pile of pig iron which had been covered by the late
rise in the river, and sank in ten feet water. She
afterwards took fire, and will probably prove • total
loss. She is insured in this city for 6,000 dolt.
SAVANNAH, MAY 6.—THE CASE OF PELVIS
AND MAUL.—The jury to-day in this ease in which
the charge was of fitting out the barque Angelita for
the slave trade returned a verdict of not guilty.
New ()exults, B.—Corros.—The advice* per
Niagara caused operations to be suspended. The
sales to-day amount to only 1,000 bales, at 12c. for
middling.
New York cotton markets unsettled while dealers
are waiting the receipt of Niagara private letters.
Sales restricted to about 260 or 300 bales. No
reliable quotations. Savannah cotton market very
dull, prices week.
PHILADELPHIA, MAY B.—Breadstuffs all show
an advancing tendency, owing to the tenor of
the Niagsra's news.

TURIN, NAT H.

I am aware that the more immediate event' of
the war, as they occur and acquire notoriety, will be
reported to you with scrupulous accuracy by the gen-
tleman who has undertaken that duty. Yon will
permit me, thee to conclude to-day the series of
brief comments I have been hitherto making on the
meagre and rather obscure bulletins of the war. For
the feat four days all the movements of the Austrians
indicate their intention slowly. and regularly to re-
treat. They are preparing their return to Lombardy
along four rontes—through Vigevano, Motta-Vis-
eon% Sealers, and the Gravellone facing Pavia.
In the meantime they are keeping themselves
united and compact in the Lomellioa between the
Ticino, the Po, and the Sesia. The occupation of Bobbin
and the entrenchments they are raising at Castel Ban
Giovanni, at Stradella and Casteggno, are for the pur-
pose of resisting on the right bank of the Po an
attack, which the French and Sardinians desire to
, make on that aide, end so to force their way between
Pavia and Piacenza. I do not believe it possible
, any longer to attack the Austrians in Inch a way_ as
to compel them to accept a great battle on the Fad-
moateee territory. And perhaps they will be
equally unwilling to accept it even after their return
to their famous square formed by Mantua, Verona,
Peechiera, and Pi zzighitone. In every case they have
the option of avoiding or accepting an engagement
in the best positions, affording a safe and eon? retreat.
It was believed by every one, that the plains of Novi
and Marengo were on the eve of renewing their
celebrity by some illustrious conflict and passage of
arms, but this has now become impossible.
In whatever undertaking Napoleon la. is con-
cerned an enigma is sooner or later propounded.
Thus, within these last few days no one has been
able to divine the reason of his delay in carrying on
the war. It was thought (and I wrote to you in that
sense) that bold and light troops by suddenly occupy-
ing the right bank of the Po, would have threat-
ened the Austrian line between Pavia and Piacenza,
but not a single French or Sardinian soldier has
shown himself in those parts, and so they are now
possessed by the enemy. It was given out also
that a division of the French army would have
lauded at Spezia, when taking Pootremoli in the
Duchy of Parma' and crossing the Po at Brescollo, it
would have gallantly entered and maintained its
ground within the formidable square. Bat down to
the evening of the 12th not a single Frenchman hal
landed at Spezia. We are likewise all astonishment
that no French ship is to be seen in the Adriatic.
As every other reason falls to the ground, the only
motive we can assign for the procrastination is that
the French infantry is not yet up to its normal
strength, and that it must run no risk of being
beaten, and of thereby losing a part of its military
glory. How seriously the Piedmontese troops take
this prolonged inaction to heart I am unable to tell
yen. General Garibaldi has importuned the King
to let him act with his little force after
his own fashion; and the King, I am assured, has
given him leave. The prevalent belief was that the
arrival of the Emperor would be suddenly followed
by signal deeds of acme ; but I hear he intends
staying three days longer in Genoa; others say he
will leave this ray and tie his head quarters at
Arquata on the Novi road. Perhaps by the time
this letter reaches you the problem may be solved,
and some unsuspected strategical move may be all
at once disclosed. The French army is not yet fully
arrived; no less than forty thousand have still to
come. A.
