NO COMBINATION AGAINST RUSSIA.

Your correspondent last night again inter-
viewed the same member of the governments,
whose statements concerning the Russian ques-
ton was telegraphed on the 10th. He said: 1t
is now certain no combination of powers would
now be formed against Russia. Five govern
ments besides Russia signed the treaty of 1856
and all are equally aggrieved by Russia's vio-
lation thereof, but they will not even unite in
a collective note demonstrating against the vo-
lation. France is powerless; Prussia connives
with Russia; Italy declares she will not join
any diplomatic movement against Russia, hav-
ing gained by her former alliance with France
and England, and Austria will address note
to Russia, but will not threaten war,

AssAULTING AN OFFIcER.-saturday after.
noon officer Seth Sterling had his attention
called to gang of railroad men who were
drunk and making disturbance on the vacant
space on Market street, near the post Office.
The officer ordered them to dispense, but they
with oaths refused to depart and defed him.
Mr.. Sterling then arrested one of them and
threw him on the sidewalk to iron him, when
another of the gang came up and struck the
officer in the face. All the Others then set upon
him, knocking him down and kicking him 80
severely that he will be laid up for some days.
There were plenty of citizens CD standing and
looking on, whose sympatnies seemed to be
with the roughs, for they did not offer the off
Ger any assistance. 1t would have gone much
harder with him but for officer Cammett, who
fastened to Mr.. Sterling's assistance, and Mr..
Rose, who also helped the officer. Two of the
roughs, Michael Joyce and Joseph Wilsboy,
were arrested Saturday afternoon. During the
night William Jones was brought to the sta
ton drunk, and was identified as one Of those
who assaulted the officer
