rULArroN OF KARs.-The advantage
gained by Russia in obtaining possess
ion Of Kars will in a great measure
compensate her for the loss of the
Crimea. Russia, so long as she holds
this commanding position. can control
the great highway Of trade which finds
its way overland from Trebizoned to
Persia, and the countries Of Central,
Asia beyond. Russia was just begin
ming seriously to suffer from the en-
barge on her commerce and the cx-
haus,ion of her war supplies. But the
capture OF Kars enables her to divert the
current of European commerce through
Turkey in Central Asia. to cannals
across her own territories and thus,
the pressure of her own trade being
neutralized, Russia can recupera.e for
the war. And it is more than likely,
that Persia. being commercially depen-
dent upon Russia, and disposed to
lean in the same direction, may be
induced by that power to declare
against Turkey for the purpose Of ex-
tending its domnions.
SUICIDE BY SPANISH DuKE.-A
letter to the independence Beige, dated
Madrid, Dec. 2S'h, announces the
death Of the Duke of Soto Mayor,
formerly Prime Minister, of Spain,
who committed suicide in fit of des-
pair caused by intense suffering from
the govt. He was the son Of Don
CARLOS MARTINEZ. formerly the Span
ish Ambassador to this country, and Of
SALLY Mexican, daughter Of Gov.
Mexican, Of Pennsylvania. Having
resided in this country till he was
twelve years of age. he received his
early education here, and those who
have met him in Europe of late years
observed in him many traces Of bis
American birth and training.
STEAMER SuSx.-The steamer Arkan-
sas, Captain Harris. running as a
regular packet from this port to Mont
gomery, Ala, was snagged and sunk
ON Saturday morning last, at the seven
~ six mile Bluff. on the Mobile river.
The Arkansas had on board 1l21 bales
of cotton. 63 bales of osnaburg, and
sundries. the consignecs Of which will
be found in our ship news column
The steamer Fashion had gone to her
assistance, and was engaged in saving
whatever cargo she could. The Arkan-
sas lies with her bow in Is feet. and
her stern in 80 feet waiter, and will
be saved, most Of it in a damaged con.
diion. She was owned by Captain
Harris and Stevenson, was valued at
$4,000, and is partly insured in this
c;ty.-7rue Delta.
