noon of Monday last and her news was commune
Gated by telegraph to the Baltimore Sun the same
night. We make the following summary; as
being of most importance. There is probable
ity of a war in Europe
The commercial advices by this arrival, are
in all material particulars, the same as those re-
ceived by the Caledonia.
A bountiful harvest has been realized.
In trade generally, there has been no improve
ment.
From Manchester and other large manufacture
ing districts, the accounts are far from satisfac-
tory.
TURKEY AND RUSSIA The English
and French journals are mainly occupied in dis
cussing the question of the alarming state of
affairs existing between Russia and Turkey and
the possibility and even probability of war
breaking out between these two powers. The
Roman difficulty, as well as all other matters
that had before been considered of paramount
Importance; seems TO be wholly lost sight of in
the discussion Of this important question.
The last accounts from Constantinople state
that the Emperor Of Russia had made formal
demand for tie surrender of Kossuth and BEN,
and other Hungarian patriots, who have sought
refuge within the dominions Of the Sultan.
The Turkish Government, with a manliness
which cannot be too highly commended, refuses
to be bullied into compliance The Russian
agent, finding his threatening tone unavailing
took an abrupt departure from Constantinople.
The Minister of the Gar has closed all diplo-
matte intercourse with the Turkish Government.
England and France, through their representa-
tives have prevailed with the Sultan and kept
him firm in his determination not to surrender
the refugees.
Already in England and France Cabin
Councils have been held to consider these grave
circumstances. Should Russia persist in de-
manding the surrender of these devoted men, an
European war is thought to be inevitable.
The Paris Journal DIES Debates, Of Thursday,
says we are glad to learn that England and
France are most cordially united in their deter
mination to support their Ambassadors in the
advice given by them in regard 10 the e1tradi-
ton of the Hungarian refugees.
THE MARKETS.
LIVERPOOL, Oct 6-Brcadstufs-The de-
nand for breadstuffs is limited, and prices have
a declining tendency. The prices of flour are a
bout the same as those of the previous week

1t is announced in the Wilmington papers
that Constable Moody, Of that place, uiM sell
jeremiah Robinson and Alfred Caldwell, on
Wednesday next, to the highest bidder, for
term not exceeding seven years; in order to
raise the restitution money and costs imposed on
them by the Mayors Court. This is the State
where the wfippng-post is still used as one of
the means of punishment. When Major Noah
threatened to put the State in his breeches pocket,
on account of its federalism, he did not know
what kind of laws governed the people, or else
he would have known that a State so governed
was but fulfilling IFS destiny. This is whig
State and nothing else.
THE WEsT.-The Washington Union boasts
that in certain sections of the East pig iron can
be manufactured with profit at $15 per ton. We
have been assured by iron-masters in the. central
banks of the Mississippi and its tributaries, with
profit, at $12 per ton. This is another proof what
The West is destined to be, when its population
is equal to the Developments OF its recources,
the Ell Dorado of the North American continent.
We have cut the above from an article in yes
terdays Cincinnati Commercial, to show how
hollow the cry of the Wing press for protection is
According to the Commercial, pig iron can be
laid upon the banks of the Mississippi for $l2
per ton, with profit; and from the Pittsburgh
Post we learn that at the very time the iron
of Pittsburgh were besiegng Gen.
Taylor at that place, to force him to say some-
thing in favor Of protection, pig iron was sell
ing at $27 per ton. One would think the differ
ence between $12 and 1927 would be profit suf-
fcient to satisfy any reasonable set of men
but the monopolists, like the daughter of the
horse-leech, will cry, "Give give!' even if the
consumer was burdened with an additional taN
of SO or $40 per ton on the iron used in the va
rious avocations of life.-Ind Courier
