LATER FROM EUROPE.

Saturday, with later intelligence from Europe.
The news possesses some interest derived main

Russia has Internationally accepted the prop

by subsequent dispatch that "lhe Russian

basis for negotiations" Those who fully com
prehend the poculiarities of Russian diplomacy
can judge Of the probabilities of peace

Mr.. EDIroR When one takes licking, it less
shoulders was duly sensible of this last week
on reading the structures of "a Ticket Holder

Of that committee should feel badly, were there
not to think that the reverend clergy Of our
village, whether on or of Of that unlueky board,
would feel worse. As il is, thanks 10 the ticket
holders mistake, can snap my fingers while they
are rubbing their backs This, for me, is well
enough, and | should let well enough alone, and
hold still, did not a monitor whisper that it
is rather mean to let the ministers take the whole
blame, when there but three of them on a board
of seven. So the laity of the committee must own
the errors of their doings and beg ticket hol-

But one can not always get the best wine on call

may all be bespoken, secondly, we may not have
the cash to pay for it, if it is to be had As to the
last, Cricket Holder may be right in preferring
one bottle Of good wine to half adozen OF poor 80

others thought Taylor below the mark. But what
is more to the purpose is, that Of dozen nearly,
of first class lecturers applied to- seven declined.
Among these were Horace Mann, G Sumner, I
Parker, Messrs Magoon and Milburn &c. In truth
we began too late in the season. For this the COM
mittee are not in fault. To secure course offrst
class lectures, early arrangements are absolutely
necessary. There was another obstacle which
another winter will see removed. There has been,
hitherto, furnished hall in town large enough to
hold paying audience for course of ten or a
dozen such. Our subscription was for course

probably have satisfied as few as dozen of less
elevated character. Next year we will have oui
