IIUP ORTANT' FROM 1'URKElT.
PROBABILITY OF WAR.

HUngdry,-Greatc confusion prevails at
Comorn, the officers and men are in Il
state of despair, and are convinced that
resistance to the combined forces of Aus
tria and Russia is useless. Gcorgey's
conduct has tended to increase this state
of feeling is censured by the London
NcwS, which states that Kossuth, BEN
and BembiNski, are at Whilden, in COM
plc:c dcstitution.
RuSSi0.-A letter from Constantinoplc
of the 10Th Sept Declares that the Gar,
uses no drgetnaent at that Court, to en-
force his demand for the Hungarian re-
fugccs now at Whildcn, but should enc
of them escape he would consider it u
cause of war If the ,Sultan did not re-
ply definitely to his aid he threatens to
return to Warsaw. The Sultan still per-
sists in his resolutions, sustained BY his
foreign Minister the grand Yizier Mahom-
ct Ali Pacha, but the majority of his
Council are alarmed at the threats of bhc
Gar, and no official announcement Of the
Councils decision has as yet been made.
There is reason to believe that the
Turkish government, urged on by tho
English and French ENJOYS, would refuse
compianceswith the Oars demand. 1t
is also thought that the Car will actual.
ly declare war in that case, although near
ly all the Turkish fleet is in the Golden
Horn, ready for action, and could defend
the entrance of the Borphorus, yet the
Turkish Army is insignificant, compared
to that which the Gar could command in
a very few days.
Sixty thousand Turkish troops have
been concentrated near and around Con-
stantinople, but the English fleet could
not reach the Golden Horn under sixteen
or eighteen days; while the Russian navy
could enter the Bosphor3ls in twenty -four
hours.
The greatest anxiety prevails amongst
all classes, the majority being opposed to
war, as fatal to their commerce.
Among the refugees at Whcldcn are
some British subjects, as also Generals
Guyon, Longinotte, and General O'Don-
nell. uf
RAILRoAD SunvEY.-We may now
sing 10 Triumphcl for the survey is said to
completed through from Greenville C.
III. t) Dir. Browns, with the most splen-
did success and gratifying results. Tho
distance is about 26 miles instead of 81
miles once found. Not only in the dis
tancc consists the success of the survey;
most ofitis unsurpassed for its favorable
levels, and at no point will exceed forty
feet grade to the mile; and : 'haps there
will be only two or three miles on the
route which will approach even that
height. We have not as yet the calcu-
lations before us, nor the estimates but
the probability is thatthe Greenville sub
scription will be brought up fully to the
amount required to build the whole limo
from DR.. Browns to the Village, without
estimating any share of the State stock.

NEW Discovery IN AGRIcULTURE. An
extraordinary fact was mentioned the 9th
er day at the sitting of the Academy of
Sciences. One of the members of thc
agricultural society of I,rest had upoR
the proposition of a member of the com,
mittec, sown some wheat upon land
without any preparation of ploughihg or
digging, and in one of the worst soils pos.
sibie, and after having merely wiikcd
over the ground to press the grain ontIio
surface, had it covered with fresh straw
to the thickness of two inches. tPiie pro-
duct sit is asserted, m abundant
and much superior in quality to- wheat
raised from the same seed in the ordinary
way. Some ears of corn, the seed of
which had been placed upon window
glass covered with straw, were also ex-
hibited. M H ho n .i agT
