Still Later and Important News from
 Europe,

Scarcely had we concluded the compilation of the lengthy details of the news brought by the steamship Atlantic, when the telegraph an |nounced that the Asia had arrived at Halifax, with advices from Liv- erpoo to ihe 25th ult.-three days later. The intelligence by the last named vessel tends to confirm the previous report that the long agita- ted Eastern question had reached a polnt after which its solution by d speedy war was deemed vi.able. The reply of the Czar 10 the Em- peror of France appears to have removed the last feeble hope of a peaceful adjustment, and the same paper which announced the recep- lion of it in Paris, informs us of the embarkation of the Algerian contin- gent of French soldiers for the East.
 In Great Britain the shipment of troops went on at various seaports amidst the greatest popular enthusi- asm, the scene at Liverpool being most exciting and grand, as reg- ment after regiment marched on board the Niagara and Cambria. Both vessels were fitted up in superior manner.
 Lord Palmerston and Lord John Russell had made statements to the Commons, of the principles and policy of England; after which the army and navy supplies were voted unanimously.
 No further important operations had taken place on the Danube, but the hostile armies were evidently concentrating all their energies for a fierce struggle.
 A financial crisis was dreaded at Saint Petersburg. and it was said that the Emperor Nicholas contem- plated resort to a forced loan.
 It was believed that France and England would speedily issue manifesto tantamount to declara- ton of war against Russia, in which case actual hostilities might be ex- pec,ed 10 follow immediately.
 Austria was supposed to be grad ually uniting herself with the Vest ern allies, and in case the Czar continued his acts of aggression against the Turks would take posi- tive ground against him. Her in tentions, nevertheless. were looked upon as very suspicious, as was also the undefiened attitude of Prussia.
 The Greek insurreciion has prov ed of a more formidab ble character than was at first reported. The Greeks had seized the town of Arta, and al last accounts were beseig- ing the Turks in the citadel

The said tract of land contains some five hundred and fifty acres, one hun dred of winch are in cultivation and a considerable portion deadened. There are on the premises pretty good Gin, (new) and toerable dw cling house which with but little expense could be made very comfortable. The land is above overflow, the finest soil, convenient to the river; and my only reason for selling is my surplus of land.
 Any one desirous of purchasing will refer to John z. Palmer, W. F. Moore, Baileys & Horror, k. II. Hargraves, in Helena, or the subscriber, living adjoin- ing the place.

GREAT BRITAIN.

England is at lcng,h in state of war. Troops are being embarked at several ports, and on all hands there is appearent activity in pre- paration for the approaching strug- |gle. The British contingent of land forces for the aid of Turkey has been fixed at twenty thousand men. in consequence of the refusal of Lord Raglan to assume the command of any inferior force.
 The Queens Geards, d Magnifi- cent regiment of cavalry. which the Emperor Nicholas. when he was in London, said were the finest men and horses he had ever seen, have given and received their farewell banquets, and were ordered 10 en- bark from Southampton, on the 22d February. Six other regiments of cavalry have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness to embark at short notice.
 The Government have five field batteries ready for embarkation, together with several troops of fly ing artillery ready, or in good state of forwardness.
 All the regiments in the British service are being raised to two thou sand rank and file, and all artillery men are supplied with Mimic rifles.
 Storemakers work night and day, supplying clothing, bedding, tents and equipage for the field. There is an abundant supply of arms.
 Although the British were slow to believe in the possibility of actu- al hostilties, the war has become quite popular. John Bulls spirit is up. and recruits are abundant, espec- ally from Ireland. The twenty eight and nine,y.third regiments of infantry and the second regiment ot rifles will embark at Liverpool and Plymouth between the 18th and 18th February. The forty-sec ond regiment will embark from Gibraltar. Provis- lonal battalions from various corps are making up at Chatham; and en- glneers and sappers and miners are filling the ranks for active service.- Besides the steamers before reported as having been chartered by the Government to transmit troops; for ty or fifty merchant ships, i, is repor- ted, have also been taken up. and it is said that the Government have it in contemplation 10 charter the steamer Great Britain.
 There is no scracity of ships, and more are offered than are at present needed.
 Every effort is being made to re- cruit the navy, and all naval pension els have been re-enrolled. and enlist ments are going on with spirit al all the ports.

New Orleans Cotton Market
CRESENT UFFICE. Saturday Morning, March il, 1854. ]

Saturday Morning, March il, 1854. ,
 COTTON-We left the market al. the close of our last review with rath- CT buoyant appearance, the saleof F riday embracing 900 bales, making total of fully 5O,OO0 bales for the week. On Saturday the market was poorly sup piled with desirable lists, and although there was good demand the transactions did not exceed 4O0O bales, prices being very firm. On Monday an active de mand prevailed. resulting in sales of IO,5oO blies at still firmer prices. The inquiry was still animated on Tuesday, and though factors insisted upon more stringent terms, fully $500 bales changed hands. On "Wednesday the demand was fair, but with very limited supply on factors tables, the sales of that and the following day reached barely l2,OO0 bales, the rates being still firmer, Yes terday the stock on sale was still slight, and only 1000 bales changed hands, making total business of the week off 10000 bales. Prices were very full at the close, and we advance our quotations quite Sc for most qualities.
 The receipts of the week are 37,427 bales against il,l70 for the correspond ing week last year, and the total receipts since the first of September have been 924, ,44l against last year for lhe same time i,337 ,204 bales.

 THE ARKANSAS MIDLAND RAIL. RoAD.-M. BUTT HEwsoN, Esq.,, the Agent and Chief Engineer of this road, has published in the Little Rock Whig, strong and interest ing appeal to the citizens of Pulas- Ri county, 10 come up and aid this road.
 Mir. Hewsou represents the coun- try thro' which it is proposed 10 run this road, as the most favora- ble for railroad purposes in the State; and Helena as a railroad ter minus on the Mississippi, possess ing advantages over any other point in the State, and most especially over 'he point opposite to Mem- phis.-He also makes a feeling ap- peal 10 the State pride of our citi- zens, and we say, with advantages equal, why should not a city in Arkansas have the preference over one in another State?

How TO BE INDEPENDENT We have long desired to say something upon the subject of home products and for eign dependence. The necessity of this was wildly brought to mind day or two since, by seeing large number of wagons in from the country loading with CORN. This, at the present prices of that article, 60 to 70 cts. per bush el, would lead to one of two conclu- sions: that this was not a good corn country, or that planters were too much wrapped up in the culture of cotton to produce enough grain for home con- sumption. The first, as is we'll known, is nc: true, as corn grows and natures in this section of country exceedingly well, ,-as much as 100 bushels to the acre having been gathered of oe good bottom land. This VIC know was done on place not six miles from Helena. The upland, in good seasons, produces from 40 to 50 bushels. It must then be that our planters are too much de- voted to cotton, some of them depend ing on that, in great measure, to buy corn, pork, &c. If they would consult their own interests, and pursue the course that good sound economy dic
 tates, every planter or farmer would endeavor to produce upon his place every article he possibly can for home consumption, instead of depending upon the upper country for such pro- ducts. We are sure that good corn, ,hay, rye, oats, potatoes, and pork, can be made in Phillips county,-and we are informed by an intelligent planter of Old Town, that he has demonstrated the fact that as good pastures of clover, blue and other grass can be made here as in the State of of Kentucky, which should of itself influence planters to rear their own mules, rather than de- pend on other localities for them.
 We say to ourfarming and planting
 friends that we here have as fine soil and climate as any under the sun, and all that is necessary to insure prosper ity under such bOuntiful gifts of Prov idence is to go to work with will and determination to make the best use of them. For, by making properuse of such blessings, you can not only live nrosperously. but INDEPENDENTLY.
