The Black Sea allied fleet sailed from
Varna April fllh, in the direction of Sebasto
pol. ' Since then, no account have been re.
calved of its movement, excepting nimor
that the fluel was blockading or preparing to
attack Odessa. '
The fleets have left in tho direction of
Sebastopol..
The whole fiVet is now In the Black Sua.
The frigates Sidon, Firebrand and Magel
lan wero detailed for the jiurpose of inter
cepting the supplies which the Russians may
attempt to convey to their troops,' Dow the)
have crossed thu Danube. They had orders
to seize all ships found in communication
with the Russian land force.
Fftm the Danube the substance of the
news is, that no great operations had taken
place, but sanguinary skirmishes were oc
curring daily. ' '
Mustapha Pacha has hi main fojee 0
50,000 men at Karrasa, and likewise holds
Tcherowada and Kuslcndjo north oi Trajan's
wall.
Tho Russians maintained themselves in
the Drobudscha. Omar Pashn would not
hazard an attack until he had the allies in
his rear. About 10,000 of the allied troops
had reached Gallipoli.
The expulsion of the Greeks from the
Turkish territory was being enforced.
The Oesl Duetsche Post, of the 10th, leans
from the seat of war, that the teto-du-pont
at Chernavoda, has been taken by storm.
Eight thousand Russians attempted to storm
Eassova, but were repulsed. On April 2d
'the attack was renewed. Seven thousand
five hundred men had been landed to rein
force Varna. The Cronstadt Satellite of the
'4lh announces the passage of the Danube at
Simnitza by the Turks on'March 27lh. It
was further rumored that the Turks had ta
ken Turna, and were advancing in tho rear
of the Russians. No pitched battle had ta
ken place up to April 9th. either at Rassova
or Silistria. but much fighting and cannona
ding had been going on, from March 30lh to
April 7th, in which lime the list of killed
and wounded, especially of the Riissiansi
was much augmented.'
A letter in the Cologne Gazette ftom Kon
Sgsberg, 9th, states that the Prussian authori
ties have received an official notice from
Russia, that a corps of Russian troops, in two
divisions, with 80 pieces of artilleiy will take
up a position between Memel and Suwalki,
The frontier of Russia is closed to all but
Russians.
One mode of defending the entrance of
Cronstadt is new and dangerous. Strong iron
chests, charged with powder aud other com
bustibla materials, are sunk in the channel,
and connected by wires to a galvanic bat
tery. ' Above the cheats is so ran machinery
which, on being touched by the keel of a
passing vessel, complete the galvanic circuit
' aud explodes the mine. A hundred of these
dangerous inventions are sunk in the narrow
entry to Cronstadt.
VICTORY IN TE1E CAUCASUS.
The English steamer Sampson, which had
been surveying on the coast of Ctrcassia re
turned to Constantinople on March 21st,
bringing tidings of a complete victory gained
by the Circassians over the Russians. Eaily
in March, the Circassians, provided with
arms and ammunition, attacked the Russians
and after a severely contested battle drove
them into their castles on the coast. These
castles were surrounded, and repeatedly at
tacked during four continuous days. Finally,
Ihe Russians, fearing to be cut to pieces,
blow up their magazines aaJ sought shelter
In their ships. The Sampson further reports
that the Circassians fell on the garrisons who
were retreating from two hill-forts, and put
them to the sword. The Circassian coast is
at present clear from the enemy.
All the Russian Baltio ports are declared
to be under blockade by the allies. -The
allied fleets were off Bornhold on the 16ih.
Gen. Luners was at Hisorva awaiting the
arrival of Gortschakoff.
Copies of the treaties of alliance', defensive
and offensive, between England and France,
were signed at Taris on the 17th of April. -
Louisville, May 1.
The Verdict of the jury, in the case of Mar
Ihew Ward, tried for the muder of Professor
Butler, has given great offence to Ihe people
here. A meeting was held on Saturday
night, at which resolutions were passed re
questing Mr. Crittenden, who was one of the
counsel of Ward, to resign his seal in the U.
S. Senate, and requesting Mr. Wolfe, another
Of Ihe counsel, to resign his seat as Slate
Senator. The Waids wece alto requested to
leave the Slate. A large mob proceeded to
the residence of R. J. Waid, where they
burnt in effigy Matthew and his brother
Robert, at the front door, so close to it thai
the wood work caught. The fire was exti!.

U" For the past week there has been
an unusually good stage of water in Ihe
Susquehanna. Large quantities of fine
timber and lumber from both branches have
passed down. The opposite side of tho
river has been covered wilh raits as far as
the eye could reach, and presented a lively
and interesting appearance. Many o( the
lumber-men now send their best stufTby
boats in the canal. Almost every boat
from the West Branch ii freighted with
lumber.
. KP On Monday the Dewart Guard,
and Farmers and Mechanics Artillery
were on paradp. They presented, as usual,
a fine and soldierly appearance. In the
afternoon the artillery roadu a visit, by
steamboat, to Northumberland, where they
were received by the Cadwalader Infantry.
On their return, the latter corps accompa
nied them and paraded through a number
of our streets, attracting much attention by
their handsome appearance and the preci

fjy There has been mucli damage done
by a freshet in New York. On Ihe Harlem
Railroad two important bridges were car
ried away. Two hundred and fifty feet of
the bridge over Crototi river were de
stroyed. The dam in the same river, from
which the city of New York is supplied
with water has all been carried away.
There is a probability that the cilizens will
experience much inconvenience, in case
the brench is serious and reauires some time
to mend. The . supply from the reservoir
is twenty four millions of gallons daily.

The Crolon dam Irom which the city of New
oik is supplied with water has been wept
away, and the utmost consternation prevailed
in the city. The Mayor has issued a procla-
malion forbiJding the use ol water, except
for purposes cj absolute necessity
The New Voik nr.d Erie road has been
greatly injured. A slide took place aboot
nine miles fiom Port Jervis by which 200
feet of the embankment and track was swept
into the nvei, drowning seven men.
Business in i'huadelphia has been unusu-
ally brisk Ihis season and everything seems
to be in aflourishing and prosperous enndi-
tion. The mechanics have all as much anil
more I ban ihey can atiend lo, and prices are
higher than Ihey have ever been before.
But as almost every thing else, excepting
peibapf, clothing, has risen to a correspond-
iug value, it is doubtful whether much has
been gamed.

There Ik, however, no doubt, but that the
present bill, by which the company is made
to take $500,000 in the stock of tl
Sunbury and Erie road, will be parsed.
There are so many personal interests to sub'
serve at Hurricbnig, that it is difliciill to pass
a bill which may interfere in the speculation
of individuals.
The consolidation of Ihe roads between
Baltimore and Siinbniv is a measure that
will secure ihe completion of Ihe road from
Sunbury lo Harrisbnrg without delay.
The friends of I he Sunbury aud Erie railroad
were anxious to secure this road, bat as lb
city members, at that time, opposed the
making of the road by themselves or others
they could searely espect to get it unlets
Baltimore refused lo go on wilh il.
There seems to be but one opinion now in
regard to Ihe Susquehanna road, and that i
that it will be one ol tne best ana most tin

The St. Louis Repnblipan hai a despatch
dated Independence, April 28th giving the
following interesting particulars In reference
to the recent Indian battle in New Mexico.
On Ihe 0th of March, there was a fight be
tween Lieut. Beale In command of thirty
Dragoons, and a parly of Jicarilla Indiana.
Six of the Indians weie killed, and two'of the
soldiers: four dragoons were also wounded.
The Indians for the first time were whipped.
On the 30th of March, Comp.my "1!' of
the Drngoons, sixty in number, under the
command of Lieut. J. VV. Davidson, met the
Apaches, to the number of 250 warriors, 15
miles east ol the Seneguilla, near the foot of
ihe Mountain, and on the road from Taos to
Santa Fe. The battle was a sanguinary one
Thirty five of the troops are reported to have
been killed, and seventeen wounded. Only
eight of the whole number escaped without
being injured. Lieut. Davidson, in com.
.mand, and Dr. Maaruder, were slichtly
wounded ; the first Sergent was killed The
loss on the part of the Indians is said to havo
been very zreat Fifly horses belonging to
the Dragoons, all the Colt revolvers and car-
bines, fell into the possession of the Indians,
A larye force under command of Col. Cook,
of the 2d Dreoons, were out in pursuit of
ihe enemy when (he mail left, but it is to be
understood that I bey are not so easily intim
idated now, and they say are ready to meet
the troops. We fear we shall receive further
news of similar tenor to the above.
Twenty men of Major Carleton'a company
of Dragoons have deserted from Fort Albu
querque, taking wilh them two horses
apiece, all tho Colt revolvers, and a six mnle
team lo.uled with provissious. They wero
headed by ihe first Sergent of the company.
