Pubic OPrNroN IN GREAT BRIrAiN on
THE TUEEIsH QUEsrIoN.-Popular opinion
in England seems 10 be decidedly dissenlient
from the dubious and vacillaling, though
pacific policy Of the Aberdeen adminislra-
lion upon the Turkish question. A great
meeting 10 take into consideration the East
tern question was held in London on the
25th Hlt., in the hall Of the Alheneum Lit
erary Institute. This immense assemblago
came together under what may be called re-
ligious and literary auspices, but was nev.
erIheless decidedly belligerent in its charac-
ter! Niacg
II was strongly and vehemenily urged by
the speakers that territorial aggraRdizs-
msat was the sole object of the Car in bis
quarrel with Turkey-and the Earl of Aber-
deem, who has been striving 10 defeat this
object, in conjunction with France BY pa
ci6c measures, was spoken Of 10 The most
contemptuous manner as temporising and
talking old Eestor, who was unfit to be at
the head Of affairs, and il was declared that
'phe Car would obtain bis object if the peo-
pie of England did not speak with deep ut.
teranco, and urge the government to speedy
and decisive measures"
A second resolution SET forth-'That this
meeting is of the opinion that the want Of
energy and immediate decision evidenced
by the Aberdeen administration is deserving
OF public censure." As an amendment 10
this, Mr.. Laurie proposed-"That consider
ing all the circumstances connected with
the eastern question, the conduct Of the
government is worthy of national approbs-
ton" He hoped the question would still
be settled without an appeal 10 arms. The
day for war, when war could be avoided,
had, he said, passed, and perhaps experiences
had taught the aged Premier the eostliuess
of war, and that il Was TO be avoided st al
most any sacrifice Mr., Willoughby sec
onded The amendment amidst some Interrupt
ton; and after some discussion, the original
resolution was carried, there being only two
hands held up for the amendment

Gay. Sieysny E1pIOrInx ExpeSltIOD,

The Washington Union, Of the 23d, pub
fishes an interesting letter from Gov. Ste
vens, who explored fom the head waters
of the Mississippi 10 Puget Sound. on the
Pacific. Gov Stevens says that although
the surveys are by no means finished,
enough is known to place beyond doubt the
feasibility Of constructing railroad connect
ing The Mississippi and the Pacific. Sew
eral good lines have been discovered on the
eastern side Of the mountains. 1t was
found that the Milk river, which on the
maps is set down as running south into the
Missouri, from British territory, runs nearly
from the westward, gradually ascending
towards the mountains, aud would furnish
an excellent approach 10 the ridge, what
ever pass through it might hereafter be de-
cided upon. Gov. Stevens states that by
properly constructed steamboat, not draw
ing over eighteen inches Of water, the Mis-
souri, is naVigable TO Fort Benton, or even
to the falls, some distance above that place.
Distinctions are known 10 exist, but il is
thought they can be overcome with tri-
fling expenditure Of labor and money.
Lieut.. Saxlon reported Badot's pass 10
be some $500 feet lower than the south
pass.
Gov. Stevens has no doubt as to the ex-
iSlence Of practicable and favorable route
10 the Pacific. 1t is yet to bo decided,
however, whether The discovery of a good
pass through the Cascade mountains, by
Capt. Mcclellan, will justify his belief
Tho opening Of such an avenue would be
productive Of inealcuable benefit to our
northern and NORTHWESTERN States. It is
thought that no serious difficulty need be
feared from the depth Of the winter SHOWS
on the line.
Lieut.. Grover was detached from the
main party and ordered to examine the
Missouri river, from Fort Benton 10 Fort
Union. Thence he is to cross the noun
lains in the winter, 50 as to ascertain the
peculiar characteristics of the country at
that season. His trip will abound id Incl
dent and adventure, and will be attended
with much hardship and perile--ISan Fran.

20 We copy the following from the Or
egon Spectator Of late dsle:-
A HAUL. THE Custom House at Astoria
was robbed by an Irishman, who was in the
employ Of the Collector, Gen. Adair. The
General had left the room for a few minutes,
and the key Of the safe in the lock the
Irishmsn relieved the safe of $4,000. Sus-
picion rested upon the Irishmen He was
seized by some ofthe Collectors friends who
induced him 10 confess the theft. He was
taken TO the woods back of town, and with a
rope around his neck was suspended to a
limb, for reasonable lime and then let
down but he PERSISTED in his innocence.
He was again strung up for few minutes,
and when let down the interrogatories were
repeated, but with similar result. A spade
was then called for and hole dug in The
ground, preparatory for his burial; a cap
was then drawn over his eyes, amer the
Hangman's fashion; this proved too much
for the Irishman's determination-his reso-
luton failed him and he yielded the secret
10 those who had him in charge. The
money was all recovered, and restored to
its former keeping, and is now under more
vigilant eye.

B6r Later advices have been received
from Gov. Stevens, who is exploring the
northern route for railroad TO the Pacific.
He reports practicable and favorable route
for railroah to the Pacific. The success
Of the expedition has been unprecedented.
On the 21st of September the party had
passed the. Rocky Mountains, and expected
TO reach Olympia in thirty-fye days. There
had been no sickness among the party, nor
had they been molested BY the Indians.
Should Gov. Stevens be equally fortunate in
discovering a favorable route through the
Cascade Mountains-one not liable 10 be
blocked by deep snows--this exploration
will have an important influence upon the
legislation Of Congress. The northern and
northwestern states would be incidentally
benefited BY line Of communicalion con-
Meeting the great lakes with the Pacific,

THE ls1HMUs OF DARIEN SHIP CANAL.
Preparations for this project, evidently
regarded by British capitalists as an of-srt
10 ihe great Noiih American inter oceanic
railway enterprise, and designed BY them
10 secure 10 Great Britain a due proportion
ofihe prospective direct East India trade,
are proceeding. 1t has been agreed upon
bv the mime originator Of the enterprise,
lSat one half of ihe directory should con-
SIS. Of American citizens, and that one-half
Of the stock should be open 10 American
subscription. In order to carry out this
IDEA Of American nationality, application
was made 10 the Secretary Of the Navy to
aulhorizs a survey Of the isIhmus. This
application was favorably considered, and
Lieut. Strain has been appointed 10 the COM
mand Of the party.
This survey is not intended entirely as
an original rxplcfaiion-ihe lsihmus hav-
ing already been examined by DR.. Blacks
sgenis. Mr.. Lionel Gisbourne and Mr.
Ford were sent there, aud in the course Of
their reconnaissance discovered that the
Sayana river emplies into the Gulf Of San
Miguel, which is safa and eapacious har-
bot on tho Pacific side, abou, $50 miles to
the soulhward Of Panama. For a distance
Of seven miles from the Gulf the Savana
is navigable for tho largest vessels, having
drpth Of lhiriy.six feet of water al low
tide. The pointat which. the navigation Of
the river ceasps, is but 33 miles from Gale
