Commercial affairs remained in much the same

heavy but there had been particular change
in price while Flour and Corn had Doth greatly

All was quiet in France and England. Some
sensation, however, had been produced in the lat

Odessa and Sebastopol were still closely blocka-

After a severe struggle The Turks have at last

The Greeks recently drove one hundred and

King Ohio, it was understood, would accept the

The Russians in Turkey recently made CON-

Owing TO he war RussIa's commerce was great

anticipated.
The Russians were evacuating and destroying
their forts along the Caucasus range and the Cir
cassians were following them up in their retreat,
and harrassing them on all sides. Some desper

Circassians had been driven back no less than four

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE IN PHILADELPHIA.-
Yesterday afternoon, during heavy storm, just
after the great clap of thunder which startled the
city, the centre of the street at the intersection of
Sixth and Christian streets, caved ia with tre-
mendous noise, leaving huge circular chasm,
over twenty feet in diameter and some thirty & Ell
in depth. Several carts were but a short distance
from the spot al The time OF the occurrence, and
made narrow escape from destruction for by
some unaccountabIe phenomenon the whole of the
earth which fell in disappeared in the cavity be-
meath. Persons in the neighboring houses, alarmed
as by the shock of an earthquake, rushed out into
the street, and n lurge crowd soon collected.
The main water pipe carried away BY the fall,
and the wafer poured into the pit, thus aiding in
washing away the OF earth by carrying it
into the cuIyer:, which also broken through.
There are various theories TO the o.
the occurrence. One is that there must have been
a quicksand in the vicinity, and that the lightning
which accompanied the clap of thunder struck
some neighborinS lightning rod connecting with
the water pipe or culvert the shock Of which caused
the cave H. II however seems probable that the
cuIyert was broken through before, and was grad.
ualy washing away The earth which fell INTO II.
The authorities OF the district we're soon summoned
10 the scene, and q temporary fence erected AROUND
the chasm some distance from the edges. For
a ,,ne hours after the first cave in the impending
edges continued 10 fall in intervals, the chasm
was much wider some distance down than at the
Iop.--PAR,. american, May 81.
