The news brought by the Baltic sheds little ad.
ditional light on the war question. The media
ting powers have made last effort to bring the
Porte to assent to the terms it has rejected, but
there is not any reason to expect that they will
succeed in it any further than to demonstrate their
own great cowardice. Russia builies all Europe
except Turkey alone! This ie the principal fact
which stands out clearly amid the whole imbrog-
lio. There are very energetic prophecies Of peace
from interested quarters, but they have only the
slightest and fralest foundation.-N. Y. Tribune.
The Ne,o York Herald, says:
It is stated that Attorney General Gushing has
been appointed Minister to China, or, indeed, to
the whole Of Asia. Mr.. Gushing was appointed
Commissioner to China by President Tyler, and
negotiated the treaty with that empire. He will
now 90 as full Minister, with extraordinary pow
ers, such as no other American diplomatic agent
ever had to China, Japan, the Dutch East Indies
in fact, he will have rowing commission to all
parts of Asia.

We took il ga foot. the other day, aiong DE
Ii ne of this brsnch Of the Cleveland and Wells.
v lille Railroad as far up as East liverpool; and
{ rom our observation, we believe there is not o
) ingle section, nor piece of masonry of any inn
portance between this and the latter place, on
which operatives are not now vigorously EN-.
ployed. The stone work at the mouth of Little
Yellow Creek, the eastern boundary line Of tho
borough, under the directions of contractor Flet-
cher, is progressing very rapidly and will, we
think, be SO far advanced, in a short time, as to
be out OF the way Of any sudden Ire Of the river.
The work here is very. heavy, and 10 being done
in durable and substantial manner. "A little
further up the road, near the residence Of Mr.
james Wells, quarrymen are engaged in getting
out stone for this and other portions Of the line
At Rowes' run, the masonry has also been com.
menced and considerable grubbing done between
that point and Esq. McLaughlin's. We observed,
near Walkers brick yard, the completion Of 9
short piece the road-t looks railroad-like, and
seems to be very substantially constructed. Hud-.
son is also engaged with a strong force, at Al: !:

ry, but as he understands has business, westhink
the Company need have no fears as to the time Of
its completion, nor the manner in which il will be
done. ThatZold pioneer of bridges and locks,
Morris Miller, is progressing with his work at
Little Beaver. We have not, as yet, been SO
high up, but from whatw can gather, and from

good work will be done on his "iob," and in due

feet out of water, and three men lashed thereto.
A heavy gale was blowing at the time, and Capt.

arrived and made similar report-though still
more melancholy, there was but one man left
wh' n she passed.
The news rapidly spread, and it not long
before the business of the dock was set aside, to
drriv" means for the rescue of the unfortunate
sur, ,r of the wreck. Applications were made
for several steamers, but with no success. AT
length about one o'clock, party consisting OF
Capt. Dobbins, NJ lrine Inspector, Capt. Eugene
Newman, Of the schooner j. w. Broaon, Capt.
Glass and other masters of vessels, started with a
life boat to cross the ferry at Black Rock, and
proceed up the shore to the Point-hoping by this
means to take the poor fellow off. Between four
and Ave o'clock, the brig COnste IGtion, Capt.
Planchard, came into port. he Captain report

about. but in consequence of the gale was unable
to approach nearer than speaking distance.
Capt. p. ascertained from the man the follow

from Cleveland, and bound for this port, with
5000 bushels OF wheat from Toledo; and that
this man, whose name is Wakelee, was the only

the names of the crew, which he gives thus: Capt

About 4 O'Clock, Capt. M. Hazard, of the steam.

the assistance of poor Wakelee. Just as they
came in sight Of the wreck, however. they saw the

The good opinions of the public are due to Capt.

Judge SKINNER was formerly citizen of this

RUMoRED ESCAPE OF Two MORE OF THE IRISH
STATE PRIsoNERs.-The late Australia papers
state that advices from Van Diem ans Land says:
"John Mitchell is gazetted as an absconder, and
a reward of ca sor such lesser sum as may be de-
termined upon by the convi"ting magistrate ia
offered for his apprehension. The Colonial Times
says: 'We understand that Messrs. Mitchell and
Martin have proceeded to join their compatrots in
America. There are only two left"
In connection with this rumor, which, by the
way, needs confirmation, we may mention that the
Cork Constitution, OF recent date. states that "a
gentleman, recently returned from Hobart Town,
had an interview with Smith O'Brien, at Norfolk
Island, where he found him enjoying exceIlen.
health; he was living in hotel, where he was
supplied with every comfort and luxury he could
desire. He had none of the appearance of con-
vict; he dressed in a similar style as he had done
in Ireland The government allowed him cir.
cult of ten miles for exercise, and he had only to
report himself once month to the police authori
ties.-BGttim0re Sun.

THE RUSSIAN MAYA London correspond
ent of the New York Herald furnishes the annex
ed statement of the present strength and distribu
ton of the Russian naval forces. AS the preca-
rious relations existing between Russia and Tur-
key give interest to everything tending to exhib-
it the military condition Of the two parties, the
subioined extract will excite the attention. 1t
presents the naval strength Of Russia as being
much more considerable and formidable than it
has hitherto been regarded in this country:
The Russian feet consists of FIVE divisions, Of
which three are stationed in the Baltic and two
in the Black Sea. In the last war with Tur-
key, Russia had 80 vessels of the ine25 frigates.
20 corvettes and briggs, brigantine, l6 cutters,
"a shooners, 20 galleys, 25 floating batteries,
l2l gun boats, making total of asa sail, and car
rying 5000 guns. Since that time great ac-
tvi,y has prevailed in the Russian docks, and the
result is that at the present day the Russian feet
consists of 60 vessels of the line, of from 70 to
100 guns; 81 frigates, of from 40 to 60 guns; 70
corvettes, briggs and brigantines, 40 steamers 2S0
gun boats and galleys-the whole manned by AZ.
600 sailors and 10000 mariners, with 5000 guns.

Gold i'm the Amazon.

In the last summary Of the Peruvian news, we
gave some information relative to the extraordna-
ry discovery of gold in the bed Of the river ANA
zon. Since then we published in the Spanish
part of our paper, letter giving further particu-
lars relative thereto, which being Of considerable
interest, we translate to-day, although we in no
way vouch for the correctness of the statements
contained therein. The letter is dated at Chach-
apoyas, August 18th, 1853. and reads as follows {:
"Don Mariana Aguilar left this on the 10th in
river Amazon, with the % ,059 granted by the
State for that purpose. -.
"The important day which shall enrich the North

shores of the river Santiago de Borje, travelling

All that is earthly must fade. This is an an
nual lesson, taught by the falling leaf, the with
ering frost, the silence which pervades the air,
and the wreck and decay of vegetation as each
returning Autumn assumes her reign. Another
Autumn is upon US now. The tassels of the corn
sare dead and the husks of the standing ears have
lost their green. The sythe is shearing the hay
fields of their last burden Small, yellow leaves,
that have exhausted their vitality before the ad-
vent of the frost, are dropping one by one, from
the trees. Flower stocks that but few short
weeks since stood green and glowing, bearing
sproudIy up their wealth and floral beauty, now
stand stark and dead. The first intim 1tion of ap-
paching OF. dissolution rest upon all vegetation,
yet, amid these scenes, the fruits of autumn are
spread upon every side. Apples bend from the
bough, nuts wait on the trees for the loosng fn-

SETTLEMENT OF THE KoszrA ATFAIR.--A let.
ter from Vienna received by the America, and de
rected to a gentleman in this city, contains the
following interesting information: The Austrian
government has given its consent to the liberation
of Koszta with the understanding that he should
and go directly to the United States Itwas known
that Mr.. Marsh had proposed an arrangement of
that kind to Baron Bruck, and the Austrian gov
ernment is said To have given its consent, partly
because it relieves the French Consul General
from the dsagreeable engagement to keep Koszta,
which he had undertaken for the purpose of saw
ing the city of Smyrna and the shipping in the
harbor from immediate destruction The Aus
trian government, in consenting to this arrange
ment, has expressly reserved its right in case
Koszta should return to Turkey, and also consid-
ers him still an Austrian subject as long as he
shall not be divested of his native nationality in
regular and lawful way.-N Y. Herald. II
