The Asia left at 2 40, p.m., on the oth, passed a large
screw-steamer, supposed to be the Glasgow, at 7 15, a.m.,
on the Bth, and was abreast of Cape Race at 8 16, a.m.,
on the 10th; exchanged signals with the ship Sea Witch
on the 15th, and passed the America at ten o'clock on
Saturday night. She arrived in the river at 620 a.m.,
after a passage of a little less than ten days and a half.
The Collins' steam-ship Pacific, Captain Nye, arrived at
New York on the 3rd instant.

A report was current that General Alvarez was at New
York, incog., fitting out an armed expedition against the
present Mexican government. He is said to have char-
tered the steamship Benjamin Franklin, and a ship and a
brig, with which he intended to await and capture a small
steam frigate called the Santa Anna, which was complet-
ing at New York'for the Mexican Government.
The celebration by the American Protestant Association
of the first sitting of Congress led to a riot at Newark. A
procession, composed df about 3,000 persons, marched
through the city, and at noon partook of a dinner. No-
thing occurred to mar the scene until the afternoon, when,
as the procession passed through one of the streets, it en-
countered a crowd of opponents, who saluted it with de-
risive shouts, and finally a stone was thrown, which struck
one of the Protestants. Just at this moment, as it is re-
lated, several shots were fired from a Romish Church in
the immediate vicinity. The procession broke for the
church instantly, and in a short time completely sacked its
interior, despoiling the altar, and rendering it a complete
ruin

able riot. The Protestant American Association is a new
organization, got up, it is said, for benevolent purposes.

During the celebration of the grand Turnerbund Festival
by the Germans of Philadelphia a fight ensued. The police
interfered, and were bearing off one of the belligerents,
when the Germans attempted a rescue, and the melee be-
came general. During the row oae of the officers was
stabbed, and another severely injured. Fifteen or sixteen

MOREY.—The slight improvement in trade previously
noticed has subsided, and business generally is extremely
unsatisfactory. Accounts from the interior in regard to the
crops are not of a very cheerful character ; but there is
'very reason to believe that the estimates relative to our
:allure of the corn crop have been generally in
advance of the actual facts. There is no perceptible relief

line of discounts, but there is less disposition among pri-

THE WAR
•

The main force of the Baltic fleets s yet in the Gulf of
Finland, and the Admirals off Revel.

A Stockholm despatch of the 13th says :—" Our papers
state an allied force has landed at Mricasboro, near Svea-
borg (Helsingfors), erected batteries, and destroyed a large
division of Russian gunboats, which the enemy thought
were safe in that harbour. The town was set ou fire."
Official accounts have been received from Constantino-
ple, dated the Bth, which state that the entire expedition
against the Crimea sailed from Varna and Baltschik on
the 7th.

The French fleet left Varna on the sth, and the British
fleet left Baltschik on the 7th ; but they were expected to
arrive at their destination, on the coast of the Crimea, si-
multaneously, owing to the British steamers possessing
greater horse-power. The landing was expected to take
place between the 10th and the 12th. This is official.
The Sultan has issued firmans for the re•instalment of
the Princes Stirbey and Ghikas as Hospodars. This is
official.

Letters from Galatz state that the first division of the
expedition was seen off the Kilia mouth of the Danube on
the 9th of September, steering towards the Island of Adass.
A plenipotentiary from Prince Danilo of Montenegro is
at Constantinople, and offers submission to Austria for a
pecuniary consideration—namely, a yearly subsidy—Rus-
sia having withdrawn her subsidies.
DANTZIC, Friday.—The Vulture left the British fleet at
Ledsund on the 13th, and has just arrived at this port.
The new fortifications at Bomarsund were being destroyed
by the engineers. The fleet was remarkably healthy.
The Royal George is ordered home.
On Thursday, advices were received, under date Elsinore,
September 10, announcing that the hired British trans-
ports; Herefordshire, True Briton, Edwin Fox, Hempsyke,
Belgravia, Clifton, Minden, and Widmer Castle, with the
French transports Brandon and. Asmodee, had passed in
tow of English and French steamers, conveying the French
troops back to Calais. A telegraphic despatch from Niborg
states that the French ships Donauwerth, St. Louis, Tilsit,
Assyrienne, Andromaque, Cleopatre, and Laborieux, with
transports, have passed through the Belt with the troops
returning to France.
A despatch from Therapia of the 7th instant states that
the French and Turkish troops had set out from Varna on
the sth instant, and that the English fleet was to join
them at the Isle of Serpents. The entire army was in the
highest spirits.
The entry of the Austrain forces into Moldavia, is ex-
pected to take place about the 20th instant. General Von
Paar is named Military Commandant, with his head-quar-
ters at Jassy.

According- to a telegraphic despatch from Dantzic, the
Russians had evacuated Brailow and Galatz on the Ist
instant, and the Danube was free.

A letter from Vienna states that the greatest prepara-
tions were being made at Odessa, in anticipation of another
visit from the Allied fleets.

By a telegraphic despatch we learn that Schamyl has
gained a brilliant victory over the Russian forces in the
vicinity of iriffis. The Russians lost many men, seven
guns, 3,000 tents, and all their baggage, with many horses
and waggons. All the provisions and ammunition of the
Russians fell into the hands of the victors. The Russians,
under Prince Bebutoff, are retreating in forced marches
from Kutais and Kars to Tiflis.

CONSTANTINOPLZ, Sept. 7.—The storm which has
raged for some days in the Black Sea has ceased. On the
4th all the troops had embarked. The whole fleet con-
sists of 600 sail. On the 4th the Ist division of the fleet
sailed in the direction of Sebastopol. The strength of
the army is 90,000 men. On the 4th Marshal St. Arnaud
sailed on board the Charlemagne.
JASSY, Sept. B.—The Russians are quitting Moldavia
with all possible speed. It is said that the Turks have
entered Fokschany.
A correspondent writes from Odessa to the Cologne
Gazette of the 31st ult. :—Last Friday the English war
steamer Retribution ran in right under the guns of the
battery, (tarrying a flag of truce. Word was immediately
sent to General Aumekoff. Meanwhile, the attitude taken
up by the audacious Retribution excited much uneasiness.
The adjutant of the commandant went out in a boat and
received a letter sent. by Admiral Dundas to the governor,
requiring the remaining officers of the Tiger. The
officers, nineteen in number, were next day forthcoming,
and the Retribution having received them put to sea,
greatly to the satisfaction of the people here.
Letters from Constantinople of the 4th state that a
caravan bound to Persia had been carried off by a corps
of Russian cavalry.

A rupture between Turkey and Persia is considered
imminent by the inhabitants of the provinces on the
borders of the latter state. Advices from Constantinople
of the 7th instant state that on the 25th the Turkish
minister retired from Teheran to Erzecoum, and that
there is a complete rupture between the Porte and Persia.

THE RUSSIAN REPLY TO THE AUSTRIAN

AND PRUSSIAN NOTES,

THN Ind(vndance Beige contains the following ac-
count of the Russian reply to the Austrian and Prussian

" The despatch of Count Nesselrode refers, in the first
place, to the negotiations which have taken place since the
Austro-Prussian so rn mations.

" Russia,' it says, ' has assented to the greatest part of
the concessions demanded, solely out of regard to the
interests of, Austria and. Prussia. In acceding to the
evacuation of the principalities she has abandoned her
military position in Turkey and Europe, which permits
her enemies to employ their forces against her in Asia,
and upon the territory of Russia. She has not put for-

ward any reciprocal claim ; she has been content With
expressing the views she entertained when Austria indi-
cated the guarantees which she was able to offer, on her
side, to Russia. She is convinced that it was not possible
for Austria to give to her the assurance of an armistice,
but she did desire to know beforehand if, after the evacu-
ation of the principalities, Austria would or would not
separate herself from the coalition which has been formed
for the purpose of humiliating Russia. Further, Russia
has declared herself willing to negotiate upon the basis
of the protocol of Vienna of the 9th of ApriL

Austria has not made any direct reply to Russia in
relation to these propositions ; but she immediately ad-
dressed herself to the Western Powers, upon whom she
made her decision to depend, although it could not be ex-
pected that they would be ready to enter upon the path
of conciliation, seeing that they have allied themselves
together in order to enfeeble Russia by a prolonged war.
This has been confirmed by communications made by the
Austrian Ambassador to the Cabinet of St. Petersburg—
that is to say, by the Austrian note of the 10th August.
" `The conditions required by the Western Powers are
unacceptable in respect to their substance (lemur), as well
as in form, principally because that, according to the
avowal of the French Government itself, what they exact
with the ostensible purpose of maintaining the European
equilibrium is nothing less than the destruction of the
Russian marine and the power of Russia in the Black Sc
" Aus,

ia, in recomn

added that the Western Power's have still reserved the
right to make others, which renders it perfectly useless
to submit them to a detailed examination. Besides, even
if they should not be changed, their acceptation would
lead it to be supposed that Russia is reduced by war to
the last degree of exhaustion. Although the Emperor
has adhered to the principles enunciated in the protocol
of Vienna, he cannot enlarge the meaning of it as much
as others have done, because the immense sacrifices which
Russia has made in the interests of Austria nrussia

(1 1 _
would remain without any compensation. In the place
of finding in those concessions a motive for redeeming
those obligations, Austria has drawn closer its alliance
with the enemies of Russia.
" Consequently, the .r
ly regrets that

, --peror infinite.
he has not been able to accept the last overtures made by
Austria. He considers that he has made every concession
compatible with the honour of Russia, and, as he has not
withdrawn any of these advantages, it only remains for
him to do the same as his enemies—that is, to try the
eventualities of war in order to arrive at some solid basis
of negotiations for peace.
" ' The Emperor has directed his General-in-Chief to
repass the Pruth with his troops from strategic motives,
and Russia will keep herself upon the defensive within
her frontiers, until more equitable conditions are offered
to her. The Emperor, on his side, will avoid increasing
the complications of the war, but he will repel with the
greatest energy all attacks against him, from whatever
quarter they may proceed."

THE PORTSMOUTH MAGISTRATES have convicted a per-
son in heavy penalties for having inveigled a seaman from
the royal navy, and induced him to enter on board a mer-
chant ship.
MALAY TREATMENT OP CHOLERA.—Travellers who
have arrived from Spain report that most extraordinary
cures of the cholera have been made by some Malay sea-
men at Cadiz. There have been more cures by the Malays
than by all the Spanish doctors. The Malay method of
treating cholera is most peculiar. They pinch up the
skin in round balls, and then rub the surrounding parts
where the skin is stretched to its utmost tension.

SOMBTIIING MICE A WASPS' NEST.—Mr. James Thomp-
son, grocer, of Bawtry, Yorkshire, lately took out of a
treacle puncheon, on opening the lid, a garden spade three
times filled with wasps. The barrel was left unopened
during the whole summer, and the wasps had crept in at a
small hole left uncorked at the top.
CRUD Munnxn.—A woman named Ann Parker was
brought up at the Marylebone Court on Tuesday, charged
with attempting to murder her children. The prisoner
had thrown one child into the Regent's-canal, and was
about to fling in another, when a policeman came up and
rescued the child already in. The woman, who said she
came from Essex, and had been deserted by her husband,
avowed her intention of destroying herself also. She was
committed for trial.

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.-At the meeting of the
Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society, held at Falmouth last
week, a very interesting communication was made to the
meeting by Mr. Charles Fox, who stated that among the
school productions there was one by a pupil teacher. It
was an agricultural survey of the parish of Constantine, as
far as related to a statistical statement of the corn and
green crops. In a parish of between 6,000 and 7,000 acres
this lad had given a very accurate statement of the breadth
of land sown with wheat, barley, oats, turnips, mangold-
wurtzel, and carrots. He showed that in this large parish
there were 305 acres of wheat, 625 of barley, and 351 acres
of green crops. Mr. Fox mentioned this to show that it
was not so difficult to get an accurate statistical account of
agricultural produce throughout the county as some people
imagined.

A-RaLic OP A DIIEL.—In making some excavations in
the court yard of a house in the Rue d'Antin, a few days
ago, some workmen discovered a piece of an old and large
sword, on which were the letters " emours." As it was near
this spot that the Dukes de Beaufort and de Nemours, and
according to the custom of the time, four friends of each,
fought a duel on the 30th of July, 1652, it is supposed that
the sword may have been that of the Duke de Nemours.
" Brother-in-Law, what a shameful affair this is ! Let us
forget the past, and be good friends !" " Ah, scoundrel !"
cried Nemours, " I must either kill you, or you must kill
me." And at the same moment he impetuously attacked
Beaufort. The latter defended himself, 'and in a short
time killed his adversary. Two of the seconds of Beaufort
--d'llericomi and de Ris—were killed by Villars and
d'Uzerches, friends of Nemours, The other parties in the
duel were slightly wounded.
