The Young Mems Democratic Union Club held

series Of resolutions in favor Of the proposed amend
ents to the city charter contained in the report
presented recently in the Legislature. Addresses
were delivered by Messrs. Brady, Barstow Shepard
and other gentlemen, full report of which viii be
foand in to-day's paper.
We are to-day enabled 10 give more comprehensive
details of the European intelligence brought by the
Niagara to Halifax, several features of which are
highly important The relations between Russia and
Turkey have assumed very grave and threatening
aspect The advances OF the Minister of the Gar
have been repealed by the Dvan, and the Sultan has
appealed to England for aid. It was this circum-
stance, together with the fact that the British feet
had been ordered to the Dardanelles that gave rise
70 the great fuctuaton in monetary affairs at Lon
aon and Paris Indeed, on the Bourse in the latter
Ss The ass
bythe Turks is confirmed. In Switzerland the excite
ment against the Austrians is becoming greater
every day. In the meantime the Emperor Of Aus
fxia has expressed his determination Of continuing
the blockade Of Tcino indefinitely The suferings
Of the banished Ticenese are dreadful Women and
children are perishing by the waysides. The siege
OF Milan continues with undated vigor. The Aus
TRAN government expresses its chagn at the refu-
sal Of England to expel the political refugees
among them, hazzini and Kossuth. The Emperor
OF Russia has caused the arrest of large number
Of his army and navy officers, for very extensive en-
bezzlements.
President Pierce contemplates countermanding
the Japanese expedition he will have to be very ex-
peditous, far as the steam frigate Mississippi is
concerned We learn by the foreign news that the
n. sailed from the Cape Of Good Hope on the Sd OF
February for Japan.
Via England we have one months later adyices
from South America. The revolution was still pro-
crossing in Buenos Ayres, and it was anticipated
that an attack upon the city would be made on the
Sd Of February. Nothing is said as to the relative
positions Of the contending parties. But little was
doing in commercial affairs.
The excitement at Washington, with regard to
The New York appointments, appears to have been
somewhat revived. All the nominations were yes
terday confirmed by the Senate with the exception
Of Messrs. Dix and Fowler. Why these gentlemen
failed to pass muster s not exactly clear although
one of our correspondents gives a probable expla-
nation of the difficulty. Several of the hunkers are
reported to be in great state Of anxiety lest Mr..
Dickinson should refuse the post of Collector
Others aver that there is not the least rea
son to suppose that he will decline. They
declare that he has been given the power to upset all
the Vaccinations of Secretary Marcy and his adhe-
Eents-that 1t sthe very position that he should oc
supy and that it would be perfectly suicidal in him
to refuse it. As for Mr.. Marcy, 1t is said that he
knew nothing Of this coup detat of the President
till after the work was completed and then he ex
pressed his most unbranded astonishment Whether
Mr.. Dickinson accepts not, it is understood that
the President is determined that the coectorship
shall be given to a bunker.
Little was done by the United States Senate yester
day. beyond acting upon the Presidents nominations
large number Of which were confirmed, as will be
observed ON reference to the dispatches Among
the appointments we perceive the name of Colonel
German, Of. Indiana, Governor of Minnesota.
Senators are becoming fatigued, and wish to 90 |
home. General Houston offered a resolution pro- |
posing that, should the President have no more |
communications to make, the Senate adjourn sine |
ie tomorrow. To this objection was raised. and
4. was stated that il would be impossible to get
ltrA ugh with the business before the middle of
next week.
One Of our special correspondents writes that the
French Consular treaty, after being materially alter
ed, was yesterday ratified by the Senate Instead Of
authorizin French citizens to inherit and hold pro-
perty IL simply recommends the State Legislatures
10 adopt prsvisons allowing foreigners to enjoy such
privileges. Our correspondent also remarks that |
many pe1sons are laboring under the mistaken be.
