" With respect to the course ofßritain on ♦he eetstern question ; we cannot do better ♦ftan' : adopt tho words of tho London Wmes, which says, editorially, (date tho 11th,) “That the question,ns it now stands, rtWjr be summed up in very brief terms. If the Emporor of Russia is desirous of escaping from tho position in which ho has placed his .own empire, tho East, nnd the other nations of Europe, ho can do so, dydn afteri all that has happened, without diffictilty. The British and French gov ernment had already intimated that, even after bo had executed his threat of occq pjring! tfto ■principalities, thoy did not re gat'd that invasion was an immediate casus beffs, but should seize that opportunity to Wta.ke a final attempt at negotiation. We believe they Have acted on this principle. Aboutthe middle of last week, nnd imme- J idJSlely after the receipt of the intelligence 'JhArthe 'Russians had Crossed the Pruth, ti°n was adopted by the British gbyemment, to which we presume that rrAtiee- has given her asset)!, containing such An amount of concession as the Porte may, in the judgment of its allies, and the Russian government may, if it see fit, n'c cept. Without entering more particularly into tho nature of this suggestion, wo may observe that ti has repeatedly been said that nothing need prevent the Porto from ma. king a collective declaration to nil the powers as to the rights of its Christian •objects, and that the Porte would also be ready to renew by a fresh engagement, iftough not to extend, the rights already claimed under existing trea ties. On some •itch terms a fresh negotiation may per '•’hapji be opened; and if Russia accede to little doubt may be entertained of its prompt success, Supposingthat this prop- Osttion is now (July 11) on its wuy to St. Petersburg, a week or ten days more may ! ,®l*j»e before the reception or rejection of -it ttttf be known bore. Beyond this fact •Hything else fnust be conjectural nnd speculative; for one man is almost ns well qualified asgnother to draw an inference, frofn what is already known, as to the fu turg course of the Czar. Supposing that the dispute is hot speedily settled on the tennis suggested, it is easy to see what the policy of Russia will be. Her object will b®* to' protract as much as possible the . suspense; to exhaust' the resour c'CddiTurkey, by keeping her in a state or ATarm and military preparation far be* yond her means; to reach, if possible, that • B^S bD °? ,he year when the allied fleets and England can no longer hold tnwrinchorageofl'Tonedos ;' and then the Baltic*is altogether inaccessible; and fi, ' -aSi’ 10 "““Py tbe principalities in such inrength during the next autumn and win 'tef'thArsho may he enabled’to advance.

Tea at Home.—lt will surprise many 10 know that wo need no longer relv on China for tea, hut drink our homo grown English, and so be independent of tho foreigner—if such independence is worth caring for. Mr. Alexander Forsyth has addressed a communication to tho Horti cultural Society, in which ho says that, having considered that tho tea of Para guay is a species of holly, he tried our common holly, and finds tho tea, when washed, equel to ordinary five shilling tea. The prickles serve an important purpose, for they koep tho leavos separated during the roasting, and thus serve the purpose of frequent turning. Tho smell given off is at first unpleasant, but itdisappears entire ly as tho leavss cool. “What will tea drinkers, confirmed tippling tea drinkins, say to this!” observes Mr. Forsyth. “Tho very tea itself becomes cheap at last, and [abundant, growing even in the garden hedge. A forest of teu trees in full leaf at our door? Such a harvest has never be fore been seen. Waste not the holly any more upon whip handles? peel it not for bird lime, as formerly; squander it not even at Christmas, but reap it, roast it again and again, for the store will be an nually renewed, and the future foliage will furnish finer tea leaves than those just gathered.” What an opportunity horo for tho adulterators: they will doubtless take care that the public drink holly tea whether or no.”— Chambers' Journal. A Great Crime. —We have recently noticed soveral fiendish attempts to throw the cars off the track of the Now York and Harlem railroad by placing obstruc tions upon tho rails in' the night. The company finally stationed n watchman at the spot, and on Wednesday night a man wag discovered to emerge from the woods, and place a piece of timber across the rails, and fasten it with stakes. He was at once secured and imprisoned. He re. fused to answer any questions, but his ob ject, it was supposed, was plunder. In the confusion and terror of the scene he expected to be able to rob some of the un fortunate victims. We cannot conceive of a crime more awful. Its very .contemp lation is calculated to thrill with horror.— The consequence might have been of the most appalling character. The vile wretch who could conceive and execute such an atrocity, should, if convicted, be punished to the fullest extent of the law. He dis graces the form of man.— Dim.

Whether she succee ded in procuring lodgings during the sev eral nights she remained in and abouttown we know not—but if so, we can safely say she was an unwelcome guest. Thus she was permitted to wander our streets for several days, and nights too for ought we know, without any one interfering in her behalf when fcho took her departure for othor parts. The officers elected for the purpose bf attending to the wnnts of the poor 'did not appear to think her an object or ope to whom their care should be extended.' The Abolitionists who are continually proclaiming to us their sym pathy for the poor enslaved African, seem ed to forget for the time being, that she was one of that race, or that they had then a favorable opportunity o/practically displayidg their sympathy.

I Health of New Orleans,—We aw not disposed to create or circulate a|aririj about yellow fever in New Orleans, nor arc we willing to conceal or disguise the real state of the public health. The num ber of deaths in the city during the week ending on Saturday last, was 304, of which 204 were caused by the yellow fever, and 105 of these occurred in the Charity Hos. pital: ?04 per week is upward of 29 per day. We are infomed on good authority that the number of cases of the same dis.’ ease Jms increased considerably since Sat. urday. The disease prevails in the Fourth District, or that part of the city, better known formerly as Lafayette, than in any other locality; indeed we have been assu. red by a respectable physician that there it has attained tQ llje character of a slight epidemje. On the other hand, it must be admitted that the attacks of the malady, are confined exclusively to strangers, and among them to persons wfio are imprudent nnd irregular in taking food and drink;— who are lodged in unhealthy places—that [is, whose bed rooms are exposed to the wet' weather, or to the night air; who suffer their perspiration to be stopped suddenly by a draft of cool air. —-New 'Orleans Courier, July 21.
