Ix accordance with our promise last week

The Liveipool Standard appears this day in
its enlarged form of Fifty-six Columns. The

Repeal of the Duty on Advertisements has
opened the way to a considerable increase in
this mode of giving publicity " to the various
wants of the public, and the relaxation of the

restriction, with reference to the size of nev;rslAper

has rem

red the increase practicable without

interesting mattes which the readers of a news-
paper naturally look for. This increased demand
upon our space we have provided for by adding
`o the number of columns in each -page, instead of
publishing a separate sheet by -way of supplement
—for .the gimple reason, that the-paper is too often
unaccompanied by the •supplement, which thus
becomes nere waste paper, whereas, by enlarging

the sheet, a perusal is secure for every annonnee-

ALrfrouorr-the most prominent topic.of the day,
And the one wkhich appears to exercise considerable
influence on monetary and commercial affairs, is the
dispute between Zussia and Turkey, the protracted
negotiations, and- the many conflicting reports which
have been received lay telegraphic despatches, have
tended much to diminish the:interest in the actual

I detAtis. It appears, from the explanations which
have ,been given by Ministers in both Houses of
Parliament, that While England and France were
agreed,as to the importance of interposing their me-
diation in order to prevent a resortio the last appeal,
Austria, -hesitated to interfere until .Russia, by some
overt act, .had created at least an apparent cams
Belli. This obstacle was -removed by the Russian
armies crossing the river Frnth, and Inking
possession of the provinces of Wallachia and
Moldavia, and accordingly Austria summoned the
representatives the great European powers to a
conference at Vienna. The conference was attended
by the Ministers of England, France, and Prilssia,
and, .efter some deliberation, a plan was ;agreed
upon as satisfactory -to all parties. The terms have
not ,transpired ; but it is said to have been coin-
cided in by all the Ministers present, and to have
been -transmitted to Constantinople and Petersburg
for the approval of the principals in the quarrel.
Turkey, of course, consents, because she has no
other coarse than to rely upon the friends who have
interposed in her favour ; but sufficient time
has not elapsed to receive the decision of the
EMPEROR NICHOLAS, which is said to be con-
fidently expected ; and we must be content to
wait several days more before anything defini-
tive can be blown respecting it, though
,the
dispatches which were received yesterday, by Elec-
tric Telegragh, stated that the CzAn had given his
adhesion to the terms proposed by the Austrian
mediation. In the meantime accounts are re-
ceived of the proceedings of the Russians in
the Danubian provinces, of the confiscation of
the Turkish tribute and the defection of the
Hospodars, or provincial governors, who. are said
to have transferred their allegiance from the
SULTAN of TURKEY to their new master the EM-
PEROR OF RUSSIA. These reports, whether true
or false, should have little weight, because at the
most they only confirm the previous opinion that
Russia was sincere in her avowed intention of
taking possession of these provinces as a security
fob her alleged claims on Turkey. It remains to
be seen whether the CZAR persists in his intention
after he has received the ultimatum of the Euro-
pean powers, a course which appears hardly Pro-
bable, caddying the extent of the force which is
