The News.

news is OF q very important and quite an exciting
character.
The Eastern political problem was still unsolved,
although it almost exclusively engaged the attention
Of every court cabinet and people in the Old World.
Contradictory runners to its probable issue were
circulated from country to country daily, and the
public mind was in feversh state of suspense. The
most certain and latest facts were that immense
Russian army concentrated upon the border of
the Danubian provinces, and that the Emperor had
declared he would proceed to occupy them whenever
the combined fleets of France and England entered
the Dardanelles
The financial alarm produced both in Paris and
London on receipt of this news had been allayed
by a subsequent despatch announcing an Austrian
mediation which would be agreeable to all parties
This news, however, AID not been confirmed.
The Emperor Nicholas had made known to the
courts the result of Prince Menschikofs utimatum
and had commenced to treat his pacific adviser
Count Nesserode, less confdentially; whilst on the
other side, the Sultan displayed unusual energy in
marshalling his forces, both by and land, and
furnishing money and munitions of war;
Louis Napoleon had assumed very decisive atti-
tude, and it was said that he had decided to en-
force the observance of the stipulations of the
treaty OF BaltaLinan upon Russia. The
latest rumor in Paris to the effect
that he expressed himself dissatisfied with reply
given by the Privy Council of England to a mes
sage from his government requiring information as
20 what would be the of the former power 10
case the Gear proceeded to extremites against the
Porte There is an absence of authentic inform alton
Regarding the entire matter.
In the midst of this diplomatic strife Commo.
dore Vanderbilt steamed away from Southampton
-
Russia-where he will no doubt have an interview
with the great northern monarch in his own home
Previous to his departure he entertained distin
guished party on board his yacht, took them all
round the Isle of Wight, sailed through the Eng
Gsh feet at Spithead, landed his guests in safety
and left England amidst the cheering of the people
the firing OF cannon from the North Star, and the
dipping Of ensigns from all the British ships of

'as latest news from China received
in England mentions the ~"A'fs"ee F's'''' - 'A'
rebels in that quarter.
The affair of missionary King was not finally s'S
tied in Greece.
The fullest commercial details and general news
summary are given in another place.
Telegraphic communication with the East was
again interrupted by the storm last evening
However, any slight deficiency there may be in our
columns, owing to this circumstance, is than
pverbalanced by the purifying effects Of the Lightning
upon the before sultry atmosphere.
Teegraphic dispatches from Washington state that
terrible onslaught was yesterday made upon the
wing clerks in the departments, particularly in that
of the Interior The ne mes OF some of the unlucky
gentlemen together vii those of their SUCCESSORS
are given. The decaptai oos now commenced
in earnest, and the work to-day will be awful. This
is the first day Of the fiscal year, and the hun
gry portion Of the democrats throughout all
ons are exceedingly anxious to procure their share
of the twentythree millions of dollars surplus
which are now supposed to be lying idle In the
United States Treasury, and which it is probable
will amount TO fifty millions by the end Of another
wear unless there should be war Mr. Nicholson, we
observe is fairly installed as editor of the Un,on.
He will keep sharp look out for Tennessee, and the
new democratic paper about being commenced at
the capital will doubtless watch him closely, and
see that he does not attempt to lead the democratic
flock into strange pastures Apropos-rumors are
afoat that Colonel Medary thinks of resgning his
mission TO Chill for the purpose of taking charge of
the Union. This is hardly probable. The Colonel
and Mr.. De Leon are supposed to be waiting orders
prior to their departure for foreign climes.
Little business Of importance transacted in our
State Legislature yesterday, although there were
lengthy debates On various topics The Auditor sent
a communication TO the Senate, notifying that body
that funds were exceedingly scarce in his depart
ment Probably out Of respect to the wishes
Of the Auditor, as well as with the view
of removing one great obstacle to a fna
adjournment, the Senate went to work upon the Sup
ply BILL and continued the discussion till late in the
afternoon when the Niagara ship canal bill was taken
ND and passed. Some debate was had in the Assembly
upon the articles of impeachment against Mr. Mather
but being announced that Mr.. M. at that hour
attending the funeral Of his brother, the subject
postponed. The Assembly adopted resolution to
take a recess from to-day till Tuesday and after
wards amended the Senate resolution for d 6nal
adjournment so as to separate week from to day
Whether an adjournment will take place at the time
designated depends upon the Senates amendments
to the Supply bill. Our special despatch states that
this measure il likely to be greatly whitfield down
by these Of our Senators who dsapprove Of the an
nual practice of unnecessarily drawing money rom
the Treasury. The storm deprived us of our regular
report Of the proceedings in the afternoon However
our special correspondent has furnished the gist of
all that was done.g Read his remarks.g
The disciples Of Young America in New Hamp
