MIR, KEMMERER's CONCERT.

THE CQURANT.

This new literary journal, published in Col
umbia, by W. W. WALKER, JR., & Co., and edi-
ted by HOWARD H. CALDWELL, ESQ.,, made the
first appearance last week. Itis printed in quar-
to form-unluckily, we think; but coming from
Mr.. Stokes press, is of course model of neat
printing.
The contents are of the highest order Of litera-
ry merit Our friends J. WOOD DAVIDSON. W. NJ.
MARTIN and PAUL H. HATSEeontribute each one
of his cleverest poems, which shall in time be re-
produced in our columns. The "Trads," story
replete with striking and puzzling psychological
phenomens, constitutes the Introductory paper,
and is followed by learned dissertation on sap.
pie Dumplings," the which we have malicously
determined not to read.
Mr.. C9LpwELL's salutations are in excellent
taste, marked by that boldness and independence
of thought and action which should always be
remarked as the leading feature of Southern jour
nalism. We commend heartily the spirit by which
it is dictated. and promise for the career fore
shadowed by it brilliant and permanent success.
The Courant deserves to be cordially foster ed
by our people. Editor contributors, and propri-
ctors are all earnest, working, Southern men,
who will deserve wide spread and constant pat
ronage: and whether their well directed labors
are commensuratey rewarded, depends solely
upon the liberality of our SOuthron public. Let
their be a cordial response to this last and most
worthy appeal, everywhere!
The Courant can be seen at our office. We
will take pleasure in forwarding subscriptions
Price 81, in advance.

EUROPEAN NEWS.

The steamer Anglo-Sa1on, arrived at Quebec
on Monday last with Liverpool advices to the
9th ultimo We take the following despatch from
the CaroAnidn of Tuesday morning:
Of the sales of cotton for three days, speculafors
and exporters took 1000 bales. Prices are easier
but quotations unchanged. Liverpool circulars
are confictiug-so,ne report decline Of 1-16d.,
others /. Middling Orleans II, mdding up
lands 65.. Quotations nominal and prices irregu-
lar. Manchester advices unfavorable. There Is
large speculative inquiry for provisions and
breadstufs. Money slightly more stringent. The
Bank of England will probably advance its rates.
Austria has extended the time of the utimatum
for disarming to Sardinia
Russia and France have formed an alliance, of-
fensive and defensive. There is great commotion
in consequence.
In commenting on the news, the Carolinian
says:
That France and Russia should have formed q
treaty so intimate as that reported, will take
many by surprise. What will be its influence on
the issue Of war, must be left to the future. AS
matters now stand, England can decide the issue
! at once Let her stand aloof and Austria must
yield she will not dare peril her nationality in
conflict with France and Russia. But should
England sustain Austria, and with her known in
huence over Prussia involve her, also,, then the
prospect of the bloodest war that ever ragged will
open speedily. Louis Napoleon will be satisfied
with nothing short of the overthrow of the treaty
of 1915. 1t was the crowning act Of the combi-
nation which triumphed over his uncle. 1t WAS
made without any regard to the wishes of France,
and was altogether an Austrian triumph over hu-
inflated France. That treaty he will obliterate,
and this combination with Russia may bring such
an overwhelming pressure againt Austria, as to
force her, without the firing of single gun, to
retire from Italy, and abandon Lombardy and
Venice. We cannot but regard this intelligence,
Notwithstanding its threatening appearance, as
being more promising Of peace, than any that has
come across the Atlantic for some time; and Aus
tria's extension of her ultmatum to Sardinia goes
to confirm such an Interpretation. The news is
certainly indicative of crisis, whose solution we
may certainly expect By the next steamer.
