miles. The Pru,h, after separating for con-
! siderable space Moldavia from Poland, makes
turn 10 the south, and continues aseoutherly
course till il falls into the Danube between Ga
latz and Ismael-and divides the princi pality Of
Moldavia, in its length into two almost equal
parts. Both Wallao hia and Moldavia are with
out Turkish garIisons, being governed by their
own Hospodars. who are tributaries OF the
Porte. Wallachia is sepa' ated by The Danube
from Bulgaria, where property the Turkish
empire begins, and where the first Turkish for
ces will probably be met. The Russian army
will traverse the two principalities without op-
position in some fifteen days, which will bring
them 10 ;i,e Danube. This river will be cross

object be to proceed with all haste to Constan-
tinople be masked-for the Russians have learn
ed by experience not to lose time in laying
siege 10 Turkish fortress-and the march be
pushed forward 10 Shimula, the position that
commands the passes Of Mount Hsmus, and
where the Turkish force, amounting by comPu-

thirty thousand scattered along The tortresses on
the banks OF the Danube, are concentrated
Here then must be the battle. The invaders,
with heir left resting on the Gulf Of Varna,
accessible to their feet from Sevastopol, in
The Crimea distant about three hundred miles

cour of all sort, vii! fight with every advantage
The Turks, with the conviction that their pc.
sition is the key to the-passes in the mountains,
which, once carried, opens the way 10 the Ca
pilaI, aud with the advantage OF intimate know
ledge of these passes, will, if animated by any
thing like the pristine zeal OF the Mahome,ans,
and directed by even moderate degree oil
skill in The art OF war, be enabled 10 make
desperate defence We do not believe, how-
ever, that il can avail against the superior
number and discipline OF the Russians. his
one battle will, probably, decide the cam

ing his defeat, will agree to terms Of I'M
conditional submission, or, animated by de-
spair, defend his capital TO the last, end either
fall with his throne, or pass over into Asia, and
thence renew the war. Our own belief is that,
at the moment we are writing these remarks,
the Russian standard is floating from the Sc
ven Towers, and that the Northern Autocrat,
! like another Colossus, bestrides Europe from
the Gulf Of Finland to the Son Of Marmora.

| SINGULAR EFFECT OF LIGHTNINo.-The ship
New York, on a late voyage from New-York
10 London, encountered severe storm OF 'hun-
der and lightning There was passenger on
board, very old and very corpuleut, whose legs
we're so paralyzed, that for three a''r -
~ " arnGu nan mile, and who since his en-
bakation, had not been able even to stand.
After the discharge Of the lightning, whieh
passed close to the place where this poor Grips
pie was lying every body was astorished 10
see him rise, pace up and down the deck, and
walk about for long time, as il nothing had
ever allied him. AT first hfs~head was little
affected, but that soon went off, while the bene-
fit which he had experienced IN his limbs re-
manned. He continued to use them freely du-
ring the passage; and on the arrival OF the ship
in port, he walked with ease 10 the place OF his
residence. Lon. Mechanics Magazine
