Terrible Shipwreck —SOtT Lives Lost— i Terrible Ravages of the Cholera — De cline in breudsiuffs. New Youk, Oct. J 9, 4. P. M. The Asia Jins reached her wharf ,wjih i Liverpool dales to Oct. fpth. I Site reports a decline of Gd in flour and !ld in whbat. Consols had improved, and closed at 92. The news is three days later than our advices by tho Atluntic. We give below its leuding features. Tho Franklin arrived nt Cowes, 9 o’clock Thunsday evening, Gth inst. Tho London Times of Saturday morn ing, Oct. Bth, states that the steamer Tun cred, at Marseilles from Constantinople confirms the report that tho Sultan has signed the declaration of war. Tho Sultan has not signed tho decla ration of wur. The grand council has vo ted war. ’ Such at Jcodt is imagined to be tho caso for wo have yet, Do information really reli able. Tfio grounds for surmising that the Sul tan fins not formally signed the declaration ,3 i that previous to declaring war the Sul lan submits, ns a matter of form, to the opinion or sanction of the Skeik-nMslnm, the decision of the Divan; nnd (his formal ity requires n dcluy of some days. The dispatph which has caused so much ex citement stated that tho Sultan signed tho declaration tho samo evening it was voted. Wo give the position of the Eastern Ques lion, in the summoning up of tho London I Times. To the successive phases of tho 'Turkish question (says the Times) may now bo added one of greater singularity than any of those proceeding it. The Ottoman Porto has pronounced, by the decision of its Supreme Council, for open wnr, anil, although it is not yet known 1 with any certainty that tho rcsolutiou has: been embodied in any formal declaration on the part of the Sultan, there is every reason lor supposing that tho opinion of a body constituted like the Supremo Coun cil will be adopted by the Executive Gov ernment. This measure does not appear to have been the result of any new or especial pro vocation on tho part of tho Russians. The Czar had committed his several acts of aggression and insult, without encounter ing the recoption to be, naturally anticlpa ■' ted. Ho had invaded and occupied the Dan jubian Provinces; he had demanded unwar | rentable concessions as the price ofliis re tirement; he had rejected tho Turkish' terms of adjustment, and he had expressed his several intentions with tho utmost ar rogance by the mouth ofhis Minister. None of these proceedings, however, elicited such a decision ns thut now pro- j nounced, and the probability is, not that j | the Government, or even the chief author-! ities of the Ottoman nation, are more de sirous than before of bringing the question ; to the issue of tho sword, but that the feel- j ing of the populace nnd the army have be- j 'come uncontrollable, and that a dectnra-j I lion of war was thought indispensiblc to J the internal security of the State. On thd other side, the Emperor of Rus j sia has declared for peace. This announce-1 ; ment may probably appear incredible after what has been proved rcspccling the na ture of the original transgression, but we can stale, upon undoubted authority, that tho sentiments of the Czar, as expressed nt Olmutz by his own lips, are not only in fa vor of a pacific settlement but are recon ciluble to a great extent with the conditions proposed by England. The fact that the Turkish Council had voted war, was, of course, garnished with all sorts of rumors. It was said that an engagement had been fought between tho Turks and Russians. Also, that an An glo French land force was to occupy cer tain passes of the Balkan and the Dardan elles Forts, and that George Canrobert had already been nominated to command 10,- 000 men who wore marching to embark at Toulon, all of which was purely ficti tious. A Cabinet Council of British Ministers was to be held Friday, -7ih, to take into consideration the alarming condition of Turkish offuirs. Thero was also a rumor that Poiliment would bo summoned im -1 mediately, but this is doubtful. In concluding on the Turkish question an editorial, the Times, says: “Wo be lieve in what tho diplomatists call a peace ful solution of the present difficulty, but the peace of the world must he troubled in the same wny no more. The Vienna semi-official Correspondent publiches intelligence from Constantinople of 27th ult., received via Trieste. Tho probabilities pointed to an immediate de claration of war, but the Ambassador had not abandoned the hope that tho recipro- cal concessions might yet be made. Tho Lloyd’s advices say that the Divan’s re solve was nh “eventual” declaration of j The determination was to bp communi cated to tlio Ambassador of the Four Pow ers. The Divan also decided that a Grand Council should be convoked for the next dny, to examine the position of affairs.— Tho meeting took plate accordingly, and Ibis is what it said to have been decided: First of oil, it was resolved that tho system of negotiations whs exhausted ; next, (hat nil tho measures necessary for tho best preparations of defenco were 'regulated; and lastly it was declared that the moment has arrived (or making) what was called at Constantinople, the declaration of war. ■ “The Truics-stotes that the Russihh En voy at Paris, has Lecn-ip'lbrmed liv J t!(q Ffenth ‘ Minister of Fdreign - A flairs,'’ that |the fMp(ftdr'-bf-’RussmnV ; -wtlli»gne6s-' to liake ; ' a J new j’ndte ; info consideration, -'lin'd the offers of thc/epresenlative'3' to draw it tip, hire too late. ' The French and Eng lish ‘governments have sent nofes' eouched in decided terms to'the. Russian govern- 1 mcnl; intimating that they uio united in jlfteir r&olve to maintain : ihe sovereignty 1 of tjto Sultan, and the integrity of his Era- Ipire. t j The Emperor of Russia, before leaving Olmutz, signed an imperial, ukase for a i new levy of troop, and sent it by a special (courier to St. Petersburg. , From llio 1/uidon Time*, Attitude |OF Russia. —lt is definitely ascertained that tho Emperor of Russia re j presented at Olmutz, that as he had accep ted the Vienna note nt the hands of the Conference in full satisfaction of European (demands, and on the terms framed by his lopponents, ho could not, witli any regard I to his own dignity, be now referred to any second proposal. He offered, howover, to accept a declarationor interpretation which seems to deprive the original Vienna Noto of tho objoctional features since discovered) in it; and stated distinctly that although he could not swerve from tho conditions first imposed upon him, he was ready to admit at once such an explanation of those conditions ns was conformable to the views of the French and British Governments, provided only that hisacktiowledgcd rights were still maintained. He might interpret tho Vienna noto, as | desired by tho Westorn Powers, in a man-, por favorable to tho Porte, hut, os he had ( interpreted it through Count Nesselrode’s despatch in a manner totally destructive of 1 the security referred to, the only t would bo that a Noto by which the rela tions of two Empires were to bo regulated on points of extreme delicacy, and only with t\yo conflicting explanations, and thus bo naturalized altogether. When it suited tho purposes of Russia to disarm j ;suspicion, she might appeal to onoof those explanations; when disposed to aggres sion, sho might quote the other, so that the original Note, or Convention, would be of no vulue nt all. Furtiieß from Constantinople.— j Tho Paris Constilutioncl is enabled to )state, (probably by the uid of the French Government,) the occurrences of the 25th and 261 h uli., at Constantinople : “At the reiterated request of M. deßruck, the in ternuncio of Austria, the Divan met on the 25th ult., to deliberate anew on tbc- Vienna No'e. Tho Divan was unnni-j mous in deciding that the Porte could then, less than ever, in the presence of the inter- I pretation given to that document by the : Cabinet ol St. Petersburg, accept it, with-) out its having first received the modifica-| tions indicated by Reschid Pncha. ) Two envoys arrived nt Constantinople! on the 251 h ult., from Circassia, with ibej object of demanding assistance against tt.e , 1 Russians, and concerting a plan of oper-| nlions on tbeir side, should hostilities be | commenced. Eight hundred Poles have inscribed their names at tho Turkish Embassy and offered their services to the Forte, in case of a war with Russia. ! It has been stated that tho object of the journey of the monnrehs of Russia and \ Austria to Warsaw, was simply to strength en the allianco already existing between ! Russia, Austria and Prussia, not only a gainst all revolutionary movement, but al so against any demonstrations that the Western Powers may possibly make. Omer Pacha has at the present moment nearly 115,000 under his command, nnd before winter he expects to raise 150,000. The Russians have already constructed a bridge from the fortress of Ismail to Dscheddnl od tho Denubo. A letter from Sophia, of a late date, states that Prince GorsckakofT has given strict orders for the course to be pursued if the outposts should he attacked by the Turks. The French and English governments havo severally addressed notes to tho Rus sian government on tho non-acceptance of the Turkish modifications. These notes have been couched in very positive terms, and reply very forcibly to the recent note of Count Nesselrode. They intimate that the governments of England and Frunce are united in their resolve to maintain the sovereignty of tho Sultan and tho integrity of his Empire. A Paris correspondent stales that o French force, now magnified into 30,000 strong, aro held in readiness to embark for Constantinople. According to the let- tor writers, 10,000 of these are picked men from Algeria, and the remainder are the troops lately in camp at Helfaut. A corps of 18,000 wus to bo organized in the south of France to embark at Toulon, to reinforce the army at Rome. England, they say, was to furnish 10,000 men, to be embarked at several of the Channel ports. It is needless to add that this fine story may be safely discredited in the meantime. Paris, Monday Evening, Oct 0. —The Assemble natiana/c announces that the Vienna correspondence between the repre sentatives of Austria, Prussia, Frunco and England is to be resumed. Thero is ri prospect of a speedy settlement of tho. ex isting difficulties. The marriage of the Emperor of Austria with the Princesss Elizabeth of Bavaria, has been fixed for April 18th, 1854.

CLEARFIELD, OCT. 27, 1853 WOODWARD—KNOX—BIGLEB Among the first of Governor Bigler's jimportnnt official nets, in the exerciso of j the appointing power, was tho appointment lof Judge Woodwahd to a scat on tho Su- J premo Bench made vacant by the death of Judge CouLTF.n. The people confirmed this appointment, at the ensuing election by nominating and electing the incumbent, and running him far ahead of his ticket. In tho spring of 1853, Judge Knox was appointed to fill the seat made vacant by the death of Chief Justice Gibson. The people ns in the case of Judge Woodward, also coincided with the Executive, and havo now elected Judge Knox, giving him the largest majority ever given to any can didate in the Stale. Thus havo the people of the Common wealth passed judgment upon two of the most important official acta of Magistrate, in a manner that admits of no equivocation, and their verdict is approba tory to a degree beyond comparison. WIIAT CONSTITUTES A "BOLTER?” A correspondent of the Rcnnsijlvanian, writing from Smethport, sets down Alex. Caldwell, our member elect to theLegis- ture from this county, as a “bolter.” Per haps we are not wise enough to know ex actly what constitutes a holla-, but if a man is deserving of such n name when he runs ns a candidate unanimously nominated by a county, polling two-thirds of the votes of the district, and receiving 527 majority in a poll of two thousand, then we have much to learn, in this wny. He is no boiler, nor will he net the part of a bolter. following is tho vote for As sembly of this district. Caldwell. Arnold. Clearfield, 1221 217 Elk, 121 171 M’Kcan, 117 146 Caldwell’s maj It will be seen by the above that Mr. Caldwell the candidate of Clearfield is elect ed by a handsome majority, which will be satisfactory to tho people of Clearfield. M'Alay (he Murderer, still at large. The report which we published last week, that a person bearing tho description giv en of M’Alay, had been arrested by tho citizens of libensburg has proved untrue, and the perpetrator of this brutal murder is still at large. Sheriff Powell who had been on a search for him, roturned the latter par! of last week. Powell reports fhat he (M’Alay) had been at work at a Tunnel which is making on the rail road, not far distant from Ebensburg, but had left in company with another person for other parts about an hour and a half previous to his arrival. Search was made round the neighborhood but no further trace could be found ofhim. The Shoriff also states that Whalort the person who murdered Kinney , in Burn side township, this county, was also at work ut the Tunnel. He was shown to the Sheriff by persons at work on the job, who informed him that he had murdered a man in Clearfield not long since. The Sheriff not being willing to place too much confidence in the word of his informants, or from some cause or othor permitted him to pursue his labors. But on his wny home, ho slates, that conversing with oth er persons, ho was fully satisfied that the person shown to him was no other than Whalon.the supposed murderer ofKinney. Ho states that Whalon, in all probability is there yet, and enjf be arrested at any time that ho is sent for. We do not know however, of any preparations being made to send for him. (£rOn Saturday night last, there was a meeting in the tpwn hall, in this place, held for tho'purposo of organizing a ‘Nativo American Party.’ YVe happened to drop in to see what was going on, and found some fifteen or twenty of all parties con grogated thore—but we have the charity to believe, ifpnf at least three fourths of the number were, like ourself, merely specta tors—as there were yong men thore, who we believe to bo possessed or ideas of jus tice too correct and whoso rtipublican prin ciples are tod sound to permit them to at tach themseWps to a party po corrupt and illiberal in its principles. They found; material enpugji, however, fora President, Vice President and Socre tary. A Committee was appointed to cor respond wifh the great men of Philadel phia, and endeavor, if possible to get some light on the subject before progressing any further. The meeting then adjourned, Destrnetlve fire at Lewlsbarg, Pa.

The Milton Engine and Hose Compnny were promptly on tho ground, and did ef fective (service.

Terrible Ravages of the Cholera The Cholera has broken out with great virulence on hoard the packet ship lssac Wright, which struck on a rock on the 30th ult.,off Capo Clear, and had to put back to Liverpool. Before tho ship reached the Mersey, 47 passengers were thrown over board, and scvernl others died in harbor, and were carried ashore. The remainder of the sick wero carried in carls to the hospitals, where a largo number, it was impossiblo/to ascertain tlio• exact number, hud diod.

The Cherokee Difficulties. —The Fort Smith (Arkansas) Herald, of the Ist inst., has the following in relation to tho recont disturbances in the Chcrokco Na tion : “Some weeks ago the full-blood Chero kee Indians, out of feudal animosity, killed two of the Aduir family, father and son.— Gov. Diew, the United States Government official, seem to think that this circumstance is the forerunner of nn insurrection in the Cherokee Nation, and, we are told, has written to Washington asking that more troops should bo sent here to keep the na tives in subjection. YY’e do not inticipdte any difficulty with these people. They have their own way of doing things, and any interference on our part w ith their pet ty quarrels is ‘small potatoes,’ Indians will be Indians, in despite of Superintend ent Drew and the United States Govern ment, and any interference with the Cher okces at this juncture we consider entirely uncalled for.
