The EASTERN QUESTION.
Our information on the Eastern question
is as vague as ever. In Britain the public
appear 10 have decided that the subject is
either settled, or will be settled without
more ado, and little is now said on the sub
ject. AT Paris, the opinion is expressed
that the Emperor OF Russia will raise no OBJ
lection TO the notifications made by the
Porte, in the Vienna note. But this opin-
ion is moi that which prevails among the
Russians recently arrived at Paris. A few
days will prove how far they are correct,
but it is certain that many Of them receive
the assurances Of the evacuation Of the Dan
ubian Provinces with deTision. They are
no doubt as Ignorant as we all are OF the Sc
crct intentions Of the Gar, but they proba-
bly, represent the opinion Of the great ma
jority of their fellow citizens. They not
only do not believe that the principaitles
will be speedily evacuated, but they main
tain that the occupation is an act Of con-
quest, and assert that it will be submitted 10
by Turkey, and by the rest Of Europe
This, however, is merely private opinion,
and is not the language of Russian dIPIom-
acy.
The London Times considers that this
question which has kept Europe in suspense
for so many months, and appeared 10 be ap-
preaching a termination, is still matter Of
serious doubt and unabated apprehension.
The note Of conference, with the alterations
required by the Divan, which was forward
ed to St. Petersburg for the acceptance Of
the Emperor Nicholas, with the endorse
ment of the four great powers of Europe,
had not been acted upon by the Czar.-
Whether he will accept them or not, is en-
tirely matter of opinion-and the reasons
for his acceptance or rejection are about
equally balanced. But, adds The Times, ''on
that decision, whatever it be, rests the whole
question, the fate of Turkey, and possibly
the peace of Europe" Until this decision
is rendered, everything must remain in sus-
pense and the leading members of the Brit
ish Cabinet have, contrary to custom, been
remaining in London, 10 be prepared for any
emergency. The article in the Times con-
tains the following important statement
showing leaning, on the part Of the French
Government, towards the Russian side Oi
the difficulty. 1t may, however, not be true:
owe have reason 10 believe that the French
Cabinet has already signifed to the Sultan
that the ulterior steps he may adopt, con-
trAry 10 the advice Of his allies, mast be ta-
ken at bis own peril" Upon the whole,
the news is of the most vague and unsatis-
\ factory character, and leaves the matter
precisely as reported BY fOsmcT adviccs.
GREAT BRITAIN.
THE QUEEN's MovENENTs.-The Queen
had terminated her visit to Ireland, and had
gone 10 her residence at Balmoral, Scotland.
The English papers fill pages with the re-
cord of the Queens visit 10 the Exhibition
at Dublin. The most noticeable incidents
were that the Queen was much pleased with
the Yankee sewing machine, Prince Albert
with Colts revolvers, and the Royal Prin-
ces with the specimens Of hObby-hoIses and
peg-tops. -
TIE HARvEsT.-HaVest operations were
proceeding rapidly in all parts of Great Brit
ain and Ireland Weather, on the whole,

The Clipper ship Sovereign of the Seas

One death from Asistic choleTa is report

CoyDIT'oN OF BUsINEss.-The manuAc-
turers and exporters continue 10 do a good
business; but the storekeepers are nearly
idle, this being the "dead season" for retail,
and made still "deadeT" by the high price
of provisions. The rise in the price OF raw
silk had been much felt by the nanulactu
rers at Lyons, Nismes, and ST. Etiene but
fortunately for them, the large orders re-
ceived from the UnAed States enabled them
to keep their operatives employed. Velvet
manufacture has been active in the above
cities this year.
