The steamer Illinois arrived yesterday, with over
million and half in gold and the California mails
of Dec. S. The news Of Buchanans election, which
was carried by the steamer Sierra Nevada, was re-
ceved with jubiation by the Democratic party, and
since its announcement there has been general
lull in political affairs. The total vote Of the State
for President was lO7 ,377, of which Buchanan had
1925, Fillmore IS, 113, and Fremont 20, 339, CIV
ing plurality of Fillmore and Fremont over Bu-
chanan of 1897. The State Legislature comprises
SO Democrats, 10 Republicans and 10 Americans in
the House; and in the Senate, Is Democrats, 3 Re-
pubcans and 12 Americans, making Democratic
majority Of 80 on joint ballot. The mining pros
poets for the season are represented as excellent.
Great improvements are in progress, involving
large expenditure Of money and labor. BY this
arrival, We have no later advices from Nicaragua,
but we insert some accounts Of the condition of
things at our former dates, which confirm our i'm
pressions of the desperation Of Walker and the
suferiDgs of his dupes.

The Europa which arrived on Saturday after
noon, fails entirely to bring the expected conrma-
ton of the report brought by the Canada that q
number of the passengers of the lost steamer
Lyonnais had been rescued. There is every reason
now to believe that this report was founded On a
misrepresentation and that none of those unfortunate
passengers has escaped alive.
The political intelligence received by this steamer,
though not startling or unexpected, is of unusua!
interest. The representatives Of the European
Powers are once more assembled at the hotel of the
Minister Of Foreign Affairs in Paris. BY final
agreement they are to quiet the storms raised on
the political horizon by Misunderstanding and
doubtful explanations of the recent treaty OF Pars'
These relate to the Isle OF Ser
nent, in tho Black Sea, but still more to the now
frontier to be trace. out in Bessarabia, In this
last respect the main difficulty turns upon the town
Of Bolgrad, the capital of the Russian colonies of
Bessarabia. In framing the treaty of Paris, on
chart furnished by France the line of the boundary
was decided and drawn at certain distance south Of
the place marked as Belgrade but the commissioners
sent to the spot find that the existing city of Bograd
is situated on the Lake of YalpOuck, which has an
outlet in the Danube and that thus if Russia should
remain in its possession she might have fotilla
there and establish q direct communication with
the river to exclude her from which is the ardent
with of England and Austria. 1t seems that there
is at the north Of the present BOlgrad an ancient
town which is now almost in ruins, and which,
though formerly called Bolgrad, is now known as
Tolback. The commissioners of England, Austria
and Turkey insist that the ruined Tolback n the spot
meantby the treaty and that the line should be drawn
south Of this Tolback which would give the lake
and the genuine Bolgrad to Turkey. Russia, how
ever, maintains her claim to the place, and In
memorandum which We published in eztenso on
Thursday last clearly sets forth the point at issue.
This Russian document is written with statesman
like ability, and prima acie seems to put the right
wholly on her side. This opinion has also been
shared BY Louis Napoleon, the Cabinet Of Berlin,
and even by Sardinia. We as yet are destitute Of
luminous and logical statement of the other side
of the questions, and Of the reasons BY which
Palmerston and Buol support and explain their
views. Neither of these has yet published any
official argument on the subject, and from the reck-
LEES and violent language of the leading English
journals 70 sound opinion can be formed.
Louis Napoleon was the first to propose that this
dispute should be submitted to newdiplomatic con-
ference. The English papers, and especially The
Morning Post, and to some extent The Times,
swore furiously that no conference should that
place-a decision Of theirs which is at last
contradcted by the facts. Palmerston desired
that the meeting Of the Conference should be in
Lonecp, where he or Clarendon would have

stber criminal acts of Tuckerman in relation 70
ether p.rtie. could not be brought into this case,
vet that Tuckermsu's relations to the Company, Of
which be was Treasurer, constituted whole,
whence illustration and light might be derived as to
the character and intent of tho particular act set
forth in the indictment. Under this ruling-whch

counsel for Tuckeman-the whole history OF the
case seems likely 10 come beforethe Jury.
