The last foreign news report the Eastern
question IS about to be settled, how, is not
stated :sbut to any one who reflects that Rus
sia has been concentrating her forces months
past-has been collecting the first quality>of
horses in large numbers, and gradually ap-
prOching nearer the desired and much coveted
possessions; j. will not appear at all probable
that the Emperor intends stopping short of
his original purposes, whatever they may have
been.
From Smyrna reports are of warlike
character and it would seem the United
States are about to be involved in difficulty
with Austria. Costa, Hungarian refugee,
had visited the United States, where he claims
that he filed his intention to become citi
zen thereof. Contrary to agreement be re-
turned to Turkey, and without waiting for the
Turkish authorities to take any part in the
matter, the commander Of an Austrian ship
had him seized and confined on board. Capt
Ingraham, of the U. S. ship of war, St. Louis,
upon hearing the facts instantly demanded
Costa of the Austrian officer, giving them four
hours to decide, and meanwhile laid his vessel
cables length from the Austrian ship, and
both vessels cleared for action. The Consuls
of the two. nations, however, interfered, and
the matter was compromised by an agreement,
that Costa should be landed and placed in
the custody of the Cnnsul of France, until
further orders and facts sbonld be received
The London Times referring to the affair, says
trouble will most likely arise-that Austria
will demand of President Pierce reparation
for Capt lngraham's prompt and imperative
conduct, and that moreover, should such a
demand be made most certainly it will not be
complied with. The imbecility of the Turk
ish government is plainly evinced by the con-
duct of their Governor in quietly looking on
while such events were transpiring in bis har-
Dor, and in allowing foreign vessel in the
first place to kidnap any one from Turkish
soil.

The Lyceum.

Right glad were we to see the large audi
ence which assembled on Wednesday evening
last, to attend the public Exercises of the
above Institution. We are sorry to say, how
ever, that many of the ladies were kept wait
ing considerable time outside the building,
for the doors to be opened and the room light
ed. When we arrived, about 8 o'clock, we
found great many persons assembled below,
and no one apparently knowing what was next
to be done, the doors seemed to be locked
the key thrown away or lost, and blind man
hunting it. However, all this was after
while remedied and that by the active exer-
tons of several citizens not prominently If at
all connected with the Lyceum, There is
committee regularly appointed to attend to
these matters-seperate from the committee
to secure speakers and we hope in future, they
will be found attending to their duty prompt
ly. All thanks to the ladies who so patiently
waited for the above preparations, and who
so largely attended the Exercises.

full, Subject, "Life" or Life as it is" the

teal, sound and solid, in its character, and
dwelt particularly upon our duties as Ameri-
can citizens Not meaning to offend or de-
prive any one of his pleasures and privileges,
We must say, the unnecessary noise kept up
in the billiard room, was source Of great
annoyance, and during the remainder of the
time he is to occupy that room, we hope on oc-
casions Of this sort and particularly as ladies
form large portion Of the audience, the gen
tlemanly proprietor willexe himself to main

Tennessee.-Johnson, (dem.) believed to be
elected Governor. The wings probably have a
majority of the Congress-men, as the last whig
legislature is said to have gerrymandered the
State, to secure this result. In the Memphis
District it is reported that Yerger, (whig) has
a majority of two votes over Stanton (deml

Missouri-Eections were held only in the
Congressional Districts gained under the last
