EFFECT OF THE WAR IN EURopE-A
RUSSIAN VESSEL IN New YoRK.--There
is now lying in Atlantic Dock, Brooklyn,
Russian vessel, blocksded in our port by
the war in Europe. She is called the
Alma, Capt w. Oreton, from Vasa, situ-
ated on the Gulf of Bothnia, and in the
province of FindIand. The Alma is
bark of between five and SIX hundred
tons, newly built in the city she halls
from, this being her first trip to the United
States. She arrived in New York on the
l7th March last, with load of salt from
Liverpool, and having discharged her
cargo, her captain has thought best to lay
her up, not daring to venture home during
the present difficulties. Her crew have
either been discharged or have deserted
her, no one being left iu charge of her
except the officers. She has on board
two or three pieces of cannon and several
muskets; but all these would be a poor
defence against the British and French
cruisers which swarm around the entrance
to the Baltic. The Alma is a staunch
built vessel, aud her only alternative in
the present crisis, is to wait in her present
berth until something turns up. The best
plan, perhaps. would be to sell her TO
some of our merchants, which would no,
be very difficult to do in the present rapid
growth of our shipping interests. Her
! officers think that after while convoy
will be sent by the Gear to the United
States, to see safely home all the vessels
which wear the Russian flag, and are cu'
off by the present hossilties. 1t would
require rather a larger fleet, we think
than the Car can spare at present, to es.
cort company of Russian mer-
chantmen into the Baltic, in the face o
Sir Charles Napier's squadron and his
French allies. The only relief for the
Russians is to sell the Alma.

Of Eurcpcsn affairs, the prospects of the
growing crops are ooked to with increased
interest. Winter wheat, az is always the

Along the line of the Southern Rail-
road, in Michigan, the wheat fields are
reported to be promising, while through
the entire line of counties on the Central
Road, a portion of the wheat is killed.
The Fort Wayne End. Sentinel says
the wheat crop in that vicinity looks very
unpromising, having been win'er>killed

Postage-Crab-Like Reform.

Our readers will find in our report of
Congressional matters, an abstracto of the
new Postage Bill, reported by Mr.. Olds
Of this state. 1t appears that the reports
of the Post Master General show heavy
balance against the Department at the au.
diting of each quarters accounts; that
the deficit now amounts to several millions
which, under the present system, can not
be met by the postal receipts, and thatthe
object of this bill is to make the Depart
mens self-supporting.
We are inclined to believe that the gen.
llemen who father this bill have put their
foot into it slightly. The reduction Of
the rates of postage in 1851, was hailed
by all classes as reform-a step forward
In fact it gave universal satisfaction. Il
was truly a democratic measure, for its
good effects were felt by all alike. How
then, will the people receive this propo-
si,ion to almost double their rates of post
age! The plea that the Department,
does not sustain itself is a poor one.
The National Treasury is overfowing-
twenty.six millions of dollars now lying
idle. To what better use can this money
be put than in sustaining the Post Office
Department, at the present rates! If the
economical gentlemen would have the
Department sustain itself, let them do
away with the ranking privilege they en-
JOY. Every mail bag is clogged with
books, speeches, bundles Of documents
and letters. sent everywhere and any
where, by them free of charge. No woa
der the Department doesn't sustain itself.
If members of Congress would dispense
with the free mail matter, letters might be
carried for one cent instead Of three, five
or ten.
None of the members who are making
such an ado about the amount sunk IN the
Post Office Department, offer the slightes
objection TO paying s2o, 100000 for few
acres of sand banks down in Mexico. O
no earthly use to the United States-the,
