ADVICE OF A FEIEND.-It will be rccollected
that the President had no warmer supporter
than theNew York Herald during the political
campaign which resulted in his election. Hear
what it says now in the way Of advice to its
friend:
"With the present Cabinet General Pierce
will be powcress in Congress. His plans and
views in regard to our foreign relations will
lack the support of national men. and the disaf-
lection in both Houses will finally involve his
administration in disgrace and ruin. Ifhe would
save himself and the country from the anarchy
of factions-if he would prevent the renewal of
the battle about slavery--hc must dsmis his
Cabinet before the meeting ofthe next Congress-
Let him turn out his secretaries, with his colec-
tors, pOstmasters, naval officers. surveyors
let him put honest men i'll office, untantcd by
faction and rely for support on the great body
of sensible and virtuOus men who have elected
him. In a word, let General Pierce take coun-
Gil from his generosity and courage, and not
from his apprchensions and fears"
Deeply were we affected on reading, the 9TH
er day, of young lady. who. being told that
her lover was instantly killed, exclaimed 80
that splendid gold watch of his.-give me thar
give me something to remember him by!''
SANTA ANNA gentleman who came pas
sengcr in the steamer Texas from Vera Cruz to

vital energy is wanting" that Mexico is

cannot be depended upon for dav - that
Santa Anna has become lazy and careless:
and that his cabinet ministers are old women.
The gentleman illustrations of this theory are
curious. Santa Anna want of energy is illus
trated by the arrest and Punishment of various
alleged consplrators, and his resisting all per-
suaslOns and influence on their behalf even to
refusing to see the Pope's Nuncio. with refer

that before breakfast he reads his newspapers
and letters, which latter amount to one hum
dred daily. and are pnnctually answered his
lack of confidence in his army, by averments
that in reality he fears no danger from them
and the dangers from conspirators by the adj
mission that the opposition is principally made
up of lawyers who have none among them hold
enough TO proclaim himself their leader and
take decisive steps against the government

Arrival of the Steamship Asa---Three Days La
ter From Europe.
New YORK, Oct, 10.

New YORK, Oct. 19.
The steamer Asia which left Liverpool on
the sth, arrived at F. NJ.
A letter from Smyrna dated Sept. 23d. states
that Martin koszta had sailed on that day the
US.
The Sultan had not signed the declaration of
war. The Grand Council had voted for war.
Such is at least imagined to be the case, for We
have not as yet any reliable information.
The grounds for surmising that the Sultan
had not signed the declaration is, that previous
to declaring war the Sultan submits as a mat
ter of form, to the opinion or sanction of Skeik-
liam. and the decision of the Divan and his
formality required delay of some days. The
despatch which has caused so much excitement,
stated that the Sultan signed the declaration
the same evening it was voted.
The Paris correspondent of the Times of Fri
day evening says it has received confirmation
of the report that the Sultan had declared war
against Russia.
On the 18th Of September Paris correspon-
dent of the London Morning Post says, des-
patch from Vienna states that the Sultan had
fixed four weeks in which Russia shall evacuate
the principalities. Many rumors were current
all doubtful. General Canovert will go with
10000 troops to Constantinople. The French
and English will occupy the Forts of the Bos-
phOrus, and the combined fleets will reach Con-
stantinople on the eth. 1t is authentically sta
ted that the Car at Olmutz declared his strong
wish for peace. Nothing is really known with
certainty.
The bank of France raised the rate of interest
to per cent. The Bank of Prussia to 5 per
cent. The Bank of Warsaw to 6.
The ship Anne Jane. of Quebec with val
| liable cargo and 400 souls. was wrecked on the
24th OFT Hebrides. and 400 persons persisted.
The Paris Patric cOntradcts semi officially
that the Sultan had signed the declaration OF
war. The Council merely resolved that no con-
cessions could be made. and preparations for
war must be carried on with increased energy.
The cholera was committing great ravages
among the Russian troops on the Danube
Before Nicholas left Olmutz he sent courier
to st. Petersburg with orders to raise a new
levy Of troops. a corpse of Is 900 troops was
TO leave Fulton to reinforce the French army
in Rome.
The French and English Governments have
declared to the Russian Government that they
are resolved to sustain the Sultan.
Cabinet Council Of British ministers was to
be held on the 9TH to take into consideration the
alarming condition of Turkish affairs. There
was also rumor that the Parliament would
he summoned Immediately, but this was doubt
full.
Com. Ingleford had returned without news of

THE UNITED STATES EXPEDITION TO
JAPAN-An officer on board the U. S. ship
Susquehanna, writes home from Cumsing-
noon, (China) as follows, relative to the ex-
petition to Jagan:
The japanese though no. in the European
sense Of the word, military people, are still
even IN that light, not to be disregarded !;
for they are admitted to be brave, and TO en-
terrain less regard for human life than any
other race on earth. They are numerous,
end in that sense, possess great strength !;
but greater elemen, of power is, tina, they
have always been independent, and have
great confidence in their ability to defend
themselves against all invaders.

THE CALoRIc SHIP.-The New York

THE CALoRIc SHIP.-The New York
Express, after stating the results of the re-
cent successful trip of the Caloric ship En-
lesson, goes on 10 say
Her consumption Of coal, including her
firing up. was at The rate Of six tons in "a
hours. Those most interested were per-
fec,ly satisfied with her success.
The revolution which this new expert
ment proposes in navigation is too wonder
full not to enlist the lveIiest concern among
business men. The principle, if successful
with water craft, it is said, is capable Of ap-
plica,ion to nearly all machinery now driven
by steam. The discovery and rapid extern
sion and employment Of the magnetic tele-
graph are not more remarkable than this
will be, il its practical working should cor
respond with the ssnguine hopes of Mr..
Ericsson and his friends. We believe, it is
no. expected that ship thus propelled will
make voyage to Europe as quick as our
feetest steamers, at least, not until the ex-
pertinent is developed, and new points of
improvement suggested. The competition
in speed, therefore, will first be with mer-
chant ships and packets in the carrying trade,
and with steamers on long voyages. The
present difficulty with steamships and pro-
peIers is that they cannot carry coal suhi.
cient for long VOYAGES around Cape Horn
and the Cape of Good Hope, to San Fran
cisco, China, and India; and, besides the
Inconvenience and loss Of time in putting
into Intermediate ports, they find the sup
plies of fuel too uncertain and costly to do
so. On the calculation of Mr.. Ericsson,
that one-ffth Of the fuel required to make
Steam will be sufficient to create the caloIic,
a vessel may carry from New York all the
coal necessary for the longes. voyage, in
addition to her cargo on freight. We be-
lieve she will make another and longer trial
Trip in the course OF few days, taking a
number of invited guests, when we hope TO
give fuller particulars Of the result.

Escape Of President Pierce-Lstant Death
Of his SOMA frigh,ful acciden. occurred
on the Boston and Maine Railroad about
noon on Thursday last, whereby the life OF
the President elect was greatly endangered

the train was thrown off the track by some
obstruction and precipita,ed down an en-
bankment 20 feet high, turning somerset
and falling upon pile of rocks at the bot
tom Of the embankmen,. The cars at the
time were filled with passengers, among
whom were Gen. Pierce, his lady end only
son, an interesting boy Of 10 years. Gen.
Pierce was the first to extricate himself from
the fragments Of the car which was literal
ly smashed to atoms, and though sound in
limb, he complains of considerable pain in
his back. His son was instantly crushed
TO death. Mrs. Pierce received number of
severe Commissions, none of which however
are considered dangerous. Many other
passengers were badly bruised, and the down
