RnIraeIa Ceunty Seat.

This matter seems farther than ever from being settled, and there is no prOs- Pect of the County getting comfortably seated at present. The Legislature, alter three or four years of wire-pulling, was supposed 10 have set the question at rest, by giving Bridgeport the privilege to erect the buildings at its own expense and compelling it to repay the county the outlay made for the new Jail at Fairfield. But some of the citizens of Bridgeport, (not interested in court houses and iails, ] stoutly oppose being taxed for the pur. pose, and this causes some internal com motion and it is claimed the law lately passed is so defective that Bridgeport can evade refunding the expense of the new jaiL and also that the land it stands on belongs to the town of Fairfield and not tEe county, which causes external com. motion. as Norwalk, Stamford and Fair. field are to contest the matter and apply for repeal at tbe next Legislature.
 Between the two, there is a prospect that the subject may continue another three yeas.

The one chosen by lhe old man was sthe most modest of all, the interesting orphan, the prolege of the princess, and Fanny judged as her father.

 The next day Fanny snd her father were presented 10 the princess. Sue approved the choice which they had made, elevated the page i0 the rank which she had prOmi- sed, added quite large dowry to the bril- liant clasp, and made the wedding party al lhe chateau.

Ind Impcnaiag War In EaFePe.

IWlDGu6I18
 There seems no prospect of the present
 settlement of difficulties between the ua lions of the east, and the late advices from Europe givc no tokens thatan amica-
 ble adjustment is to be expected. The
 Turkish province of MOIdavia, now OCcu-
 pied by tlre Rassians. has declared her independence of the Saltan. because, when invaded. his promised protection was not extended and it is not probable that Turkey will quietly and peaceably give up her territory to the opposing power, while the strongest narionsof the old world stand Hy her to resist the ex> tension of Russian dominion southward. Russia. France and England were never in Better condition for war, in point of power, wealth and we'll disciplined armies and navies. and the struggle once com> menced will be 6ercely contested. Nor will the conflict be confined to this guar, ter, but while the Russian army is en- gagged with Turkey and it's allies, Poland and Hungary will rise in desperate struggle for independence. and olherna tions of Europe, ripe for revelation. will follow, tnl the war commenced for cons quest wal end in general uprising for liberty. The movement once started will not cease till ell Europe is revolutionized.

GF The Springfield Republican. in an article on Railroads, thus speaks of the Housatcnic and its enterprismg Presi- dent, Carles Hunt, Esq. The Housa- tonic Rail,oad, under its new manage ment. is apparently disappointing the fears of friends and the hopes and pres dic.ions of enemies; its receipts for four months to August lst, were $loo.s .s72 or $2o.64s over the aggregate of the same months last year; the new Presi> dent. who is also superintendent and road master, has gone to work with energy and personal industry. though against a good deal of opposition. and seems de. termined by the introduction of the most rigid economy and simplicity of detail, to see what virtue there is in the road. which SO long and almost so hopelessly has been struggling to make a living.

 The idea seems to be entertained in somesquarters that because the engineer who made the late surveys for this road gave Lis opinion in favor of the southern route, that the road must necessarily be located there; but we learn that the Company and their President are inclined to give this route the preference. The prospect of the road passing through Litcl'feld isquite as favorable as it ever was. and fit istbuilt at all this northern survey will probably sbe taken for its course. Our easerprising neigEbors at the north need not grow unhappy. for this ancient buFg'is yet to shake off its Rip Van Wlns3e sleep, and awake to new life and energy.
