ADJUSTMENT OF TuE Russto- TuaxIsl1 QUESTION.
we call attention TO the communication, on the
second page, of B. OH The present difficulties
between Russia ardTurkey, and suggesting a mode
of settlement: 1t is the first suggestion ofSthe
KIND we have met with, and certainly deserves at
tention. The settlement of International Difficult
ties by reference is end much 10 lie desired, and
the precedent has been followed, in some. cases,
(mentioned by the write) with good results
Whether in those cases the unpirage was pro6ersa
or Interchangeable, we are not aware, though that
fact might have material influence upon the ease
with which our Government could approach this
question, as 1t might be matter of serious national
Importance to have such offer Improperly or
dscourteouslyreiectedb the beIligerents.. What.
ever may be the facts, however, the suggestions
are emlnently worthy of general attention, coming
as they do from IN author of mature habits of
thought, and as such we, commend them 10 our
readers and the public 6. neraly, though their ptac.
ticAbil ty will be materially impeded by the status
6rH indicated by the last steamer. p
Destructive FIRE.-on Saturday morning be-.
tween one and two o'clock, q fire originated in
the third or fourth storyof the large brick bui.d
Al. r.xfy.a
pied by Messrs. AYREs, Cusulso & OsBuN, as an
oil cloth factory and nanuiactorY of binders and
bonnet boards. The building being filled with oils
and other highly, com5ustibles materials, was soon
completely enveloped in flames; and all, with the
exception Of the end walls, entirely consumed,
together with large amount of stock, oil cloths
binders boards &c. Tie fremen displayed their
usual activity aud energy, but labcred against the
disadvantages of very bad location in which 10
operate and the rapid ignition Of the highly infa
maLle materials. All the machinery. valued at
$4,000, Isdestroyed, or rendered useless. The A
boilers alone were saved. and few partsof the
engine may be used again. The stock on hand.
consisting of 10000 yards of finished oil cloth,
1900 DO unfinished, 20 tons binders boards finished
and unfinished. and large quantities of. drilling.
muslin, OIL, &c, and5valued together at sI2, 600,
was all destroyed with the exception of some
I,5oo or 50 1000 worth, which was thrown from the
windows 'a,,ra sr9e, 7s.4s. 75a 3 ~. s,5ls. 4
The loss of .Messss. Ayres, Gushing & Co. is
some $4,000. They were insured to the amount
of $4,000. 3.
The new Engine and Machiagshop. of MeSsrs.
Horns, TArLoR & Co.. just ready to go into opera
ton. and situated but a few yards from The burn
ing building escaped uninjured. A small frame
house situated on the hill above the oil cloth fac
tory, was much burnt.
The burning oLsuch al large quantity OF naama-
ble materials lighted uplhe whole city. casting al
broad glare over the surrounding waters, and was,
perhaps the most intensely, though fearfully bril-
liant conflagration ever beheld in the city. The
ruiIding was l2o,feet long. and five stores high.
The destruction of this establishment is the loss
to the city OF highly useful manufactory.
The worthy proprietors have the universal sym
pathy of our citizens, and we trust that tSey may
be enabled 10 commence forthwith 10 rebuild.

IsciDExrs OF THE LATE SroRM THE ONO.
We have heard of greatmany incidents, and
narrow escapes of1boaimen exposed 10 the horror
ofthe storm which swept over the Ohio last sSun-

formed by Two of The crew of pair of coal boats
belonging to Mr.. Leslie, OF Pittsburgh The boais

Ell 10 lie the boats up. Their small boat, or ski,
had become useless, and in the meantime the
storm broke upon them in all its fury, aud the
