LATE FROM EUROPE.

New York, March 5.-The steamer
Of Feb. 18th, and London ofthe 18Th. She
left Cowes on the 18th. Of Portsmouth
she passed nigh the English fleet abou, to
sail for the seat of war.
In Eng land, the preparations for war were
carried on Oh the most stupendous scale
| 1t was stated that the Government, in addi-
ton to the steamer already taken, had decid-
ed to take the remainder of the Cunard
steamers as fast as they arrived, leaving the
company TO carry The mails in smaller s,ea-
mers. Many Eas! India sailing vessels had
also been taken by the Admiral to carry
troops, stores, SC.
The Baltic fleet, consisting Of 80 ships,
chiefly ships of the line and powerful screw
frigaes, was 10 assemble in the Downs on
the 9Th of March, where it would be Joined
by 10 French vessels of from 50 to 100 guns
each. The whole fleet, under Sir Charles
Napier, is designed to act against ST. Peters
burg. The steamer Hecla had already left
for the Baltic to make surveys and sound
ings.
The first battalion Of the Coldstream
Guards marched through London on the
18th, on their way TO Chichester prior to
their embarka for the Mediierranean,-
They were received by the people with ex-
traordinary demonstrations Of enthusiasm.
The correspondent of the London Times
says the Russians were committing fright
full excuses on the peasants in Wallachia
who had refused to submit TO the burdens
imposed upon them. In three villages the
women and children had been msssacred.
New propositions were said to be adopted
by the four powers, making concessions to
the Gear by giving him the liberty of treat
ing to a certain extent alone with Turkey,
latter power to have the right Of con-
sultation with the allies. 1t is also pro-
posed that The evacuation of The Psincipali-
ties shall be Simultaneous with the with
drawal Of the allied fleets from the Black
Sea.
A long debate on the Eastern Question
occurred in the English Parliament on the
14,h, but nothing of importance was elicit
ed.
The French Government had addressed
strong note to King OHIO in consequence
Of the discovery of the Greek conspiracy.
The autograph letter from Napoleon to
the Gar proposes treaty of peace on the
basis of the Vienna note as modified by the
Sultan, and that negotiations should take
place direct between Russian and Turkish
plenipoten,iaries.
The French squadron, under Admiral
Brua. takes on board 1900 troops, and
will proceed to roulon to join the English
squadron awaiting there to take OH board
10000 more troops. when both squadrons
will sail for the Levan,.
Rumore Of peace are still in circulation.
The Paris correspondent of the Times says
that fresh negotiations on fool aud hopes
generally cnlet,aincl that they would prove
successful

THE MARKETS.
BALTIMORE, March 7, 1854

GRA1N.-Eheat-T The supply of Wheat ON
Change was light-only about 1900 bushels offer
ed, and small sale of very prime white before
the news at 81 so. We quote red nominal at
10 ST Is per bushel
Corn is steady. About So 900 bushels offered.
and sales at 6 70 cents for white, and 70 70
cts per bushel for yellow.
Oats-Sales of Maryland at 4S a so cents per
bushel.
From the American of Saturday, the 4th.l
ToBAcco.-The market is without animation,
the stock small, and the receipts as yet trinng.-
We quote nominally as before, viz
Common to good ordinary Maryland, S5.25aS6;
middling, S5aS6.25; good to fine brown S650aS7;
and fine S7aS9.
1t is asserted that the French Government win
this year make no contracts for the usual supply,
but will purchase both in this market and in New
Orleans through agents appointed by the French
Consuls. In this case it is quito likely the pur
chases in this market will mostly consist of Mary
land, and prices will probably open at pretty
high figure. The receipts of the crop
an1iously looked for, and the first lots in market
will no doubt be promptly secured.
The inspections of the week comprise 81 hhds
Maryland 1G hhds. Ohio, and hhds. Virginia
total 81 hhds.

AARON BURR's WIFE.-The Paris Pr

trie Of late date has the following:
At the last Tuilleries bail, the brilliant
toilette of stranger with an incredible
number OF diamonds, attracted The attention
Of all present. In moment the attention
was changed to the most intense curiosity,
when Louis Napoleon was observed TO ac-
cost the lady, and remain some moments in
conversation. The enigma was soon solved.
The lady was the widow of Mr.. Aaron
Burr, formerly Vice Presten. of the United
States, with whom Louis Napoleon was on
terms Of intimacy, whilst in that country,
and g. the end of fifteen years he had re-
cognized the widow of his old American
friend.
This probably alludcs 10 Madame Jumel,
the wealthy second wife of Col. Burr, who
obtained divorce from him a few years
previous to his decease. She owns large

THE PRoHIBIToRY LIQUOR LAW Bill
Mr.. Farnandis, chairman Of the finance CON-
mt,ee of the Senate, 10 which was referred
the bill which passed the House of Dele
gates, ''entlled an act to regulate the sale OF
distilled spirits and other intoxicating Ii
quors," on Friday last, made an unfavora-
BILE report upon said bill, and the committee
was discharged from the further considera-
lion of the subject.
We had hoped The Legislature, at its pres.
ent session, would pass prohibitory mea-
sure of some kind, TO check if possible the
use of liquors, the effects of which have
been to bring evil and evil in the most
dreadful forms upon the human family
we were not particularly in favor Of the
bill above referred 10, believing as we did
that it contained some Objectionable features;
but, upon the whole, we believed ii good
bill, and hoped for its final passage. We
fear that in this we are to be disappointed
by the action of committee in the Senate,
who think differently from a majority Of
the House. Should no bill of the kind
be passed at the presen. session, we have no
doub. the people will instruct their repre-
sentatives in the next Legislature with regard
to the subject of prohibi,ory law. But it
still remains to be seen whether the Senate
will adop, the repor. of Mr.. Farnsndis and
and reject the bill, which was the order Of
the day for yesterday in that body.
Since the above was in type, We have re-
ceived, through the attention of MIR. Cox,
copy of the bill reported in the House on
the 4,h inst, by Mr.. Jacques, entitled, Gan
act to provide for taking the sense of the
people of this State on the expedency Of
passing o Prohibitory Liquor Law" II
contains four sections only, which provide
for taking the sense of the people, in the
usual way, on the first Wednesday Of No
vember next, for or against Prohbitory
Liquor Law. We suppose the passage Of
This bill will be urged by the friends ofpro-
hibtion in case the one now before the Sen
ale shall be defeated.
In our next we shall publish the Report
of Mr.. Farnandis, having been requested to
do SO.

PRICE OF BREADsTUFFs.-Itw would be q
matter of great convenience to most people
if the quotations Of the English markets,
published upon the arrival of every steamer
were given in the currency and measures
of the United States. j. may be of some
assistance however, to bear the following
in mind: an English pound is equivalent TO
81 60 of our money an English shilling
to % cts and an English penny to one and
ninety-one-hundreths of cent. In the
English marke, corn is mostly sold by the
quarter, which by our measurement is one
fourth Of ton, or eight bushels. By re-
Numbering this we can conveniently COM
pu,e the cos. ,ofgtain per bushel in the Eng
ish market, and understand correctly its
rise and fall.

children during their absence. The infants
will be tlckeled, and at the proper hours
the mothers, on, producing their checks,
can return to feed them. In the intervals
The children will be provided with nurses.
Institutions of this kind have proved highly
successful in Paris where there are over 90

DR.. GARDINER's CONVICTION AND DEATH.
The case of DR.. Gardiner was given to the
jury on Thursday afternoon, and on Fri
day morning they brought in verdic, Of
guilty. Mr.. Bradley, one Of the counsel of
the accused, then stated that he had prepar-
ed bill Of exceptions, and desired that the
sentence Of the court might be passed a,
once. Accordingly Judge Crawford sem
fenced the prisoner 10 ten years confne-
ment in the peni!eniarv. He was then
conveyed to the jail, and soon after his ar
rival he was taken with commissions which
lasted until his death, about twenty min

mortem examination this Saturday morn
ing, generally gave it as their opinion before
the jury in the absence of chemical analysis
of the stomarch, that DR.. Gardeners death
was caused by strychnne. During the
commissions of DR.. Gardiner, previous TO
his death, he denied having taken poison,
and protested his innocence Of the charge
of which he was convicted.
