made IL equivalent to accusation; and certainly he
puts the question ough, to believe that there exists
some grounds for the mputa,on which II conveys |

Bombardment of Odessa.

The only important item of news brought by
the steamer Atlantic, is that which relates to the
bombardment of the city of Odessa by the British
and French fleets. This city is situated on the
Black Sea, and has a population of more than
seventy thousand personsS exclusive of the garri-
son. The news of the bombardment was receiv-
ed rather coolly IN England. The London
Times expresses ''sOme regret that the first blow
of the war should have fallen upon commercial
city, rather than a military or naval port" and
seems to think an explanation Of the circumstance
necessary. 1t appears that the steamer Furious
was sent to Odessa on the 9th of April, with a
flag of truce, to bring off the British Consul and
other British subjects. The Russians refused to
permit the steamer to enter the harbor, and on
her persising, fired six or seven shots from the
walls, and sent out ships to chase her. The Flu
rious escaped, and about two weeks afterwards
nine steamers of the allied fleet appeared before
the place, and, on the 23d, commenced throwing
bombs and rockets upon the forts and the city
The bombardment was continued according TO one
report Tor ten, and TO another Tor TWO hOurs.-
One battery was destroyed, and the ships in the
harbOr burnt. A Russian account says that a
small part of the city was destroyed, and that an
attempt to land eighteen hundred men failed
The same steamer brought the information that
Silistria, an important position, was closely in
vested 10y the Russians, who contemplated 10
make an assault with thirty thousand men, on
the first instant The defenders exhibited their
usual valor, and expressed themselves able to hold
out till aid should arrive. The Greek insurgents
had been defeated by the Turks with loss of
one hundred killed and hundred and twenty
wounded.
Since the above was put in type, we have re-
ceived the news by the Europa, which will be
found in another column.

MnY Court,

On last Monday, the first day of May QUAR-
terly Court, the question of granting licenses Tor
the retail of intoxicating drinks was discussed be-
fore the Court by Col. j. B. Baldwin aud j. H.
Skinner, Esq, for the applicants, and RP' Kin
ney. ESD. in opposition. The Court decided to
grant licenses by vote of seventeen to thirteen
Some four or five Justices were absent. A large
crowd was in attendance, and much interest was
manifested in the question.
There seemed to be considerable excitement IN
regard to the election of Sheriff The friends
of both candidates were busy circulating tic&ets'
circulars. certificates, Sc, which it is thought
will tell mightily upon the issue. In the even
inc, quite a lengthy and very animated discus
sion took place between the two candidates, and
also between Mr. McCue and Col. George Bay
lor. Tomorrow is the day of election and the
question who shall ride Sheriff amongst us? will
then be settled. In the meantime let every body
keep cool.

Southern Africa.

Recent arrivals from the Cape OF Good Hope
report that gold, copper and precious stones have
been found in great abundance in the region OF
Orange River, at points five hundred miles apart
and it is thought that the whole intermediate
country which is almost unknown, is aurlterous.
The British Government had withdrawn from
any further control over the country, and the SET
tiers have formed Provisional Government with
view to Republic. The colonlsts at Cape
Town, however, are unwilling to allow the coun-
try to slide from their grasp, and since the DIS
covery of gold have signed petition to the Queen
prayinq Ter to re-annex it TO her dominions.
A Boston paper says: "All these statements
h,xo of course mado considerable stir in the Cape
Colony. and rush to the mines is anticipated,
indeed it has already commenced. II the mines
now discovered should prove productive, 1t would
probably cause as great revolution of affairs
there as it did in Australia, and perhaps even
Greater. as it is much nearer both England and
this country, the run from here by sailing vessels
having been made in lorty-fve days"

Religious Liberty.

General Cass aud Archbishop Hughes of the
Roman Catholic Church, are engaged in con
troversy about the rights of conscience, which is
carried on by the one in the Senate and by the
other In the newspapers. Some months ago Gen.
Cas- delivered speech in the Senate, in favor of
securing by treaty freedom of religions worship
to American citizens in foreign countries. The
Archbishop published some comments upon the
speech, in New York paper, denying that there
could be any such thing as a violation OF the
rights of conscience-the conscience being intan-
gible and not within the reach of legislation
That is, man may be imprisoned, fined, or even
burned at the stake, on account of heretical opn-
ions, bat that is only subecting his body to PEN
alties, while his conscience remains free Arch
bishop Hughes also argued against the PROPOSE
ton, on the ground that because it suited us to
adopt the principles of religious freedom, it does
not follow that all other nations must adopt it.,
whether it suits them or not
Gen. Cass, in his speech on the 18th, replied
at length to the Archbishop, who Immediately
published letter stating that in ten or fifteen
days he would publish full rejoinder. He also
protests that he is not opposed to .'the humane
views of Gen. Cass."
When Gen. Cass had concluded his speech,
Mr.. Badger raised a curious and interesting ques-
ton. He suggested whether it would not be
wise, in connexion with the proposition in regard
to foreign Governments, to consider the propriety
of some measures for securing religious liberty at
home? Gen. Cas- replied that the Government
had nothing to do with the subject at home, but
that it was a matter for the States. Mr.. Badger
thought we would occupy singular position in
asking from foreign Governments what we have
not the power to secure to our citizens at home.
Nor is the contingency alluded to altogether i'm
probable. The Mormons may in the course Of
time, formally undertake to erect Church estab-
lshment in Utah, and 20 impose pains and penal
ties upon ou-conformists.

Rirht,a OF Neutrals.

On Thursday last President Pierce sent to the
House Of Representatives the correspondence
which has passed between this Government and
Foreign Powers on the subject of the rights OF
neutrals and of belligerants in the pending Euro
mean war. The first letter is from the BRUSH
Minister to Mr.. Marcy, dated April 24th' II
communicates the fact that her Majesty had for
the present consented to the principle that Tree
ships make free goods" except as to articles con
,raband of war. and would not authorize the issue
of letters of marque to privateers; and expresses
the hope that in spirit Of just reciprocity the u
nited States would give orders that no Prlvaieer'
under Russian colors should be equipped or ad-
mitted with their prizes in American ports. The
French minister wrote letter of similar import.
MIR. Marcy replied to both on the 18th ult., sta
ting the qualification of the President that Eng
land and France had given qualified sanction TO
the principle alluded to, for which this country
had so long commended, but that the pleasure
would have been enhanced if the rule had been
announced as one which would be observed in ev-
ery future war. He also says that the President
will not fail to use all the powers vested In him
TO maintain the strictest neutrality on the part OF
the citizens of the United States. Other letters
are from Mr.. Buchanan, and the charges dat
faires Of Denmark, and of Sweden and Norway to
MIR. Marcy, and his replies. The concluding pa
per is from Mr.. Marcy to the United States MIN
lister to Russia, in which MIR. Seymour is instruc-
ted to ascertain the views of the Emperor in ref
erence to the rights Of neutrals.
