The Paris Steele says that letter of the 30th
ult. from Constantinope, announces that the Turk
ish government has definitely set aside the project
of arrangement proposed by Lord Radcliffe. Res
child Pacha has declared, in the of the minis
try and of the grand council of the empire that the
war having broken out in spite Of the forbearance
shown by the Porte, there was no longer any ques-
uon OF the solution of special point. A now trea-
ty must now regulate the relations between Turkey
and Russia, and the Sultan hopes, with the aid Of
God and his allies, that the new treaty will raise
solid tarrier against that Russian ambition that in
cessantly endangers the peace of the world. But
with any negotiation having for its starting point
the recent Vienna diplomacy, Turkey will have
nothing to do.
LATER FROM TExAs-By the arrival yesterday of
the steamship Merico Capt. Thompson, we have been
put in possession of Galveston dates to the 29th
ut We gather the following items from the
Netos:
eve understand that the Brazos river was ri
sing at Rock Island on Thursday last and that there
is no doubt of its being navigabe by this time. A
merchant of this city has written from the Trinity
stating that that river is also rising 1t may there
fore be in boating condition by this time. The Sa-
bine and Neches rivers were fast rising few days
ago. and the probability is, that they now navi-
gable.
The Bremen bark Neptune, Capt. Deerjen, with
one hundred and ninety passengers, and the Olden-
burg brig Herman TheOdor, Capt. Wrsgge with
one hundred and thirty passengers, both arrived in
this port yesterday the former fifty and the latter
seventy days from Bremen.
The Planter learns that the yellow fever was still
prevailing in Richmonda week ago last Saturday.
There had been forty-fve deaths in all, including
every physician in the place. We trust the Plant
er may have been misnformed in this statement,
and that the physicians with some Of whom we
are acquainted) are some of them still spared.
We understand that about 300 bales of cotton
were last year shipped from Sabine Pass, the larger
part to New Orleans, the balance to this port.
We understand that two or three passengers by
the last steamer from New Orleans died on the pas
sage from cholera, and among the number, Mrs.
Gautiere, wife of DR.. Gautiere, of Brazora
county.
We see it stated in some Of our exchanges, that
the yellow fever has revived in this CITY, and that
quite number of cases are existing. for the past
three or four weeks we have published the sexton
weekly reports, which have shown some two or
three cases per week only. During this time a
very large number of strangers have come to ouI
city, together with some eight or nine hundred
German emigrants Most of the few cases of vel
low fever since have, we believe been among these
emigrants. Although therefore there is still now
and then a of yellow fever here yet there are
fewer than could reasonably have been anticipated
considering the large number Of strangers and for
eign emgrants. who have recently landed here.
John StultZ, alias Henry Natz alias Jesse Hdnsil-
ton Shultz:-The above person with his aliases was
brought and lodged in our jail on Friday last, by
Mr.. P r. Edwards who went for him with q re-
QUESTION from the Governor Of this State some
time since, to the Governor Of South Carolina
where he had been arrested on the affidavit of Mr.
Edward Billinger as the person charged with the
murder of Simon Bateman and Mathew Jett in the
latter part Of 1874 near Virginia Point in thi:
county.
The Nsns, speaking Of railroad in progress, tc
connect Galveston with Northern and Eastern
Texas SAYS:
Col Lacy's road has been commenced, and the
grading is progressing rapidly, with one hundred
hands employed upon it, Some four hundred add
tional hands are daily looked for, some Of then
from Europe and some from New York The
grading is being made for double track. We
hope soon to give more full information of the
character the progress and the prospects of this
important road which, we believe, is speedily to
connect this port with Eastern and Northern
Texas"

MURDER.-A young man by the name Of Will

Stegall Immediately fed but was caught few days

brought back and confined in jail, to await the pen
atty Of the law at our next Circuit Court Mallo-
ry was stabbed in four places-two in the region Of
the heart, one of which penetrated the heart The
general opinion is that it was premedtated on the
part of Stegal to kill Mallory-even the circum-
