TURKEY AND RUSSIA.
There is no later news, in the European
"Tiroesj (the only .paper that has come to
' hand) from Constantinople or St Petersburg,
' and of course, we have got no solution of the
"difficulty between the Porte and the Autocrat
4he geneial belief, however, among well in
.formed circles, is said to be that Russia - will
i pocket the affront rather than provoke a col-
lision with France and England.
N 'Their is a rumor from, that in consequeuce
tf the relation in which Louis Napoleon stands
-with 'the Czar, he would gladly foregolhe sup
port of the nation in behalf of Turkey. A
correspondent, writing from Belgrade on the
', einst.,' slates that the Aungarian refugees
were still at Widden, ready to set out for the
ptirmtiom thev' mav receive. They were
divided into three camps an Italian, a Hun
.garian, and a Polish one. Each camp is tin
.der the order of a colonel, and each man re
ceives such daily rations, according to his
grade, like the British troops. ,
Prince Alexander of Servia, had behaved
very well towards them, allowing them free
pnssago through his territory, and provisions.
Bent, Dembinsky and several others, have
not only embraced Islaism, but entered the
Turkish army. The Porte is said to have
appointed the Isle of Canada as the residence
of the Refugee Magyars.
,i .; , FRANCE,
i' ,The aeliberationsofthe National Assembly
-were almost wholly devoted, on the 12th and
' 13th ult., to the report of M. Thiers on the
Roman questian. The report is decidedly
"'conservative, and at variance with the ex
pressed views of the President's letter to M.
' Ney. The conclusion at which M. Thiers
arrives is, that liberal institutions are incom
( patible with the independence of the Pope
ras a temporal sovereign, and likewise the
independenco of the Catholic Church, and
!the. rights of the people ure at issue the lat
ter ought to give way.
It is not believed that the views or M.
'Thiers will be responded to by the French
'; nation, and it is certain that both the matter
and style of the report are very unsatisfactory
' to the President of the Republic.
, At a Ministeral Council held subsequently,
it .was decided that the Government would
. follow exclusively the policy lad down in the
i letter of the President on the affairs of Rome
i the effect of which resolution will be, it is
said) to cause M. Falloux and General Rul
hieres immediately to retire from the Minis
' try.- No action had taken place on the part
of the Assembly, to indicate the views of the
majority on the report of M. Thiers; but
: there was a rumor from Pail's, on Thursday,
' that the difficulty between M. Thiers and the
: President had been satisfactorily adjusted.
tThe High Court of Justice at Versailles
-commenced its sittings on the 12th, and is at
r present engaged in trying the persons con
ieerned with the affairs of the 13th July.
-Several exciting disreputable scenes have
-.occurred before the Court, and there is rea-
son to apprehend that others will follow.
l! On the 13th, M. Emile deGirardin was be
' ing examined as a witness, when a violent
altercation took place between him und the
I Procureur General, in the course of which M.
fcGira,rdin declared in open court, that as the
constitution having been, violated, resistance
wass right and a duty..;' .
J '!; At a subsequent stage of the examination
' the judge forbade AI. Girardin to reply to a
" remark of one of the consel, when all the
prisoners rose 'en masse and demanded, with
violent gesticulations, that the witness should
.be heard. A fearful scene of tumult and
' confusion ensued, and nearly an hour elapsed
"before the httissicr$ could bring the accused
and the judge to a state of calmness.
nfc On the day following one of the witnesses,
a Lieut, of the gendarmtcric, boasted of hav
..
ing thrust his sabre into the breast ofa man
si
wtio was married, and advanced witn his bo

som bared, whereupon all the accused rose

One of the counsel declaring that he was not
worthy to clean epaulettes. Indescribable
confusion ensued, 'which terminated in the
judges seeking safety in flight. They return
ed, however, in an hour, to say that no notice
should be taken of the interruption.
'.The National Assembly have annulled the
- election for Guadaloupe, in consequence of
v Recounts of assassination on the part of the
t supporters of the present members.
'M. de Falloux's health is slightly improved

. ' A letter from Remnin, dated October 10,
says that the Austrinn General, Kuriab, had
arrived at Widden, from which the dates
reached to the 6th inst j with a letter from
General llaynnu to the Pacha, by which the
Hungarian refugees, from the sergeants down
wards, , are pardoned, in consequence of
which the greater part of them returned to
Hungary.' Gen. Kuriab then proceeded to
Constantinople. Several hundred officers of
those furnished with passports from Comoro,
have passed through Berlin, on their way to
the West. Some of them are going to
America. , Klapka ' is said to have been
among those refugees, and to have embraced
the resolution of crossing the Atlantic with
300 others.
According to Lloyd's, Hungary is to be di
vided henceforth into tdl districts, each to
have its own Provincial Governor, yet the
Deputies are to be chosen by a majority of
the votes of the population.
ROME.
Accounts from Rome are the reverse of
satisfactory. The return ol the Pope is still
talked about, but when it may take place is
still the subject of conjecture. There has
been a misunderstanding between ono of the
Cardinals and M. de Corcelles, and the
Frenchman being offended at a letter re
ceived from the Ecclesiastic, complains of
the number of traitors still tolerated in the
Eternal City. The point was referred to His
Holiness, w ho disapproved of the Cardinal's
conduct and threw him overboard.
Garibaldi has left the island of Santa Ma
dilina for Gibraltar, where he will sail for
London, ultimately, it is said, to America. ; ,
ENGLAND.
A large and highly respectable meeting,
presided over by the Lord Mayor, took place
at the Egyptian Hall, London, On the 17th
ult., relative to the proposed exhibition of
industry of all nations in that city, during the
ensuing year. The best feeling was evinced
towards the plan of the projectors, and it was
proposed to raise by subscription the sum of
20,000 to distribute in premiums. All na
tions are invited, without distinction or pre
ference, and the promoters of the design feel
no misgiving of the probability of raising
100,000 or more for the general expenses of
the exhibition,
IRELAND.
The anti-rent conspiracy in Ireland is ex
tending throughout all parts of that ill-fated
land. The local journals are filled with ac
counts of the abduction of crops. There can
be no doubt that in the southern and in parts
of the northern provinces, there is a general
determination on the part of the Peasantry to
defraud landlords of their rents to such an
extent as would seem calculated to consum
mate the rniii of the country.
The fearful effects of the potato blight, of
the fever, the cholera, and the other diseases
by which Ireland has been desolated, seem
ed likely to be far exceeded by the calami
tous results of the moral pestilence that is
spreading rapidly throughout the laud.
A conflict, attended with fatal results, took
place on the 13th, at Kitterby, in King's
county, in which three policeman were killed,
or mortally wounded, and several others were
seriously injured. Several volleys were sub
sequently fired into the barrack whither the
constabulary had been compelled to retreat,
and the corn was carried otT in triumph by
the peasantry. ' '
The excitement growing out of the dismis
sal of Rord Roden from the magistracy, seems
likely to lead to very serious results ; Orange
men and Repealers are once more glaring at
each other with the malice of fiends; the
Orangemen of the North are preparing for a
grand field day on the 5th of November, the
anniversary of the Gunpowder plot, which,
if not prevented by the strong arm of the
law, can hardly fail to end in the shedding
of blood. ' ' .
There is no abatement in the spirit 6f the
Repealers at Conciliation Hall, and the rent
is on the increase.

DRRASFTJL FLOOD IK CARBON COUNTY.
The Luzerne Democrat of the 81st contains
an account of a fearful floodf by the itorm of
Thursday last. i U ?'
It appears that on Hiokorv Ron, a atream
which empties into the: t-ehigh, about five
miles below White Havaa, there waVa large
dam, belonging to Mahlon K. Taylor, which
Covered about 70 acres of ground, when full,
and 4rr some places 40 feet deep. During
Monday night in consequence of theneavy
rains on that day, this dam filled tvevarflow
ing, (the waste gates having, been, .neglected
to bo hoistei)) amftho danV gave way about
midnight, sweeping everything before it.
Houses with, theirj" sleeping , inmates were
dashed to atoms, and their inhabitants, with
out a motmint'r arrHn'ff'caf rtedli wSf Tf
the' mighty flood: ' Mr, Taylor' boose and
two saw mills were destroyed.' Isaac Gould's
house and saw mill were carried away,' and
not a limber remained together His daugh
ter, who was in the bouse at the time, was
found on Tuesday under a heap of flood wood,
dead. Jacob West's wife and four children
found dead, He was under a log heap in a
slate of insensibility. Thomas Crawfoid and
his wife were both' found dead. Twenty
persona were missing, of whom seven bodies
have been found. ' ' ' ''";
Nothing has been heard from below the
mouth ot the creek, and serious apprehen
sions are entertained for several families liv
ing just j below in a narrow gorge. They
must have perished. As the , Lehigh was
high at the time, there hns been disastrous
work along the ' whole line of the Lehigh

, THE OVERLAND EMIGRANTS. (; I
ScFrERiNo and Wintering at the Mor,
mow Sbttlemewt at Salt Lake. The St.
Louis Republican has a letter from Green
River, California Territory, dated Aug. 19th,
and another from Fort Larami, Indian Terri
tory, dated Sept. 18lh, which give somr; in
teresting news from Salt Lake respecting the
overland emigrants, for California. It is any
thing but flatteringi , There is every proba
bility that fifteen to twenty thousand persons
will be compelled to pass the winter , at the
Mormon settlement of Salt Lake, owing to
the grass being consumed by fire for two
hundred miles beyond; tendering it impossi
ble to subsist the animals irt the train of the
emigrants. The supplies at Salt Lake are
limited, and there will be much suffering un
less the emigrants themselves are provided,
which is not likely, as they have thrown
away everything that could impede their
travel.
i. It is evident that a great want of foresight
has characterized this overland expedition.
The country was but little known, and the
difficulties to be encountered not at all un
derstood. First the emigrants overloaded
themselves with every useless kind of article
furniture of no possible use to them, and
household luxuries that could well be dis
pensed with in the new country they were
going to. These they were compelled to
abandon iu a very short time, and subse
quently, when their horses, mules and oxen
were broken down by this unnecessary lum
ber, they were compelled to part with more
valuable things.-' About one thousand wa
gons have been burnt or abandoned on the
road. Along the banks of the North Platte
to where the Sweetwater road turns off, tho
amount of valuable property thrown away is
astonishing iron, trunks, clothing, &c, ly
iuo strewed about to the value of at least fifty
thousand dollars in about twenty miles. Five
hundred dead oxen, one writer says, he
counted on the road.' '.;' ', -
Those who will succeed in getting across
to the land of their hopes ' will scarcely be
much better on than their companions at
Salt Lake. 'They will'arriv so lule that the
season for working the mines will be over,
and they will be. compelled to pass in idle
uess a long winter in , California, many of
them destitute of money or other of the ne
cessaries of life, and compelled to subsist
upon the charity 'and benevolence, of those
who are better provided. Wilh these pros.
peets before them, we must expect to hear of
much suffering among them. The difficul
ties to be encountered will probably deter
any further emigration bj the land route.
THE ROSTRUM OF DEMOSTHENES.
The Rostrum of Demostbenea was above
us on the side of the hilt facing the sea. A
platform is cut into the rock and each side a
seat hewn out, probably for the distinguished
men of the state;' The audience stood on the
hill side and the orator and his listeners were
in the onen air. " I ' .
Scene after scene swept throngh my fancy
as I stood on the spot. '' saw Demosthenes
after his first unsuccessful oration, depending
with a dejected air towards the - temple Ojf
Theseus followed by old Eunortias ; abandon
ing himself to despair,' and repressing the
fiery consciousness within him, as a hopeless
ambition. 1 saw him' again 'with the last
glowing period of a Phillipic' upon' his lips
standing on the same, rocky eminence, his

their wit and Instruct us jwith.itheitjBdom.
They 'ex'liibit "the brilliancy' ol tne classical
scholar, and the closeseaiching reasoning of
the logician. It is an encyclopedia in itself.
It reviews all, hooks, ;and treats of all scien
ces. It is familiat with all geography, and at
home in all history. It is the Q5dipus to read
the riddles which every political spinx may
set before it. It dives into cabinet secrets,
and anticipates tho purposes of statesmen.
It has the hundred eyes of every wakeful
Argus, the hundred hands and fifty heads of
Briareus. ' And as omnipresent as omniscient,
as ubiquitous as versatile, it is here, there
and every where, from Indus to the Po, from
China to Pern, compassing the world with
its correspondents, , and with its expresses,
and the electric telegraph lacing against time
to communicate its intelligence of mankind
in every region of the earth. The ancients
counted up seven wonders of , the world. .1
they had possessed a newspaper press they
would have had an eiyhth, more marvellous
and of more worth thun all the rest together."
Makriku and Single Men A cotempo
rary very sensibly remarks, that there should
be some means of distinguishing single front
married men, Unmarried femalesare known
by the prefix of Miss to their names, but all
men are styled' Mr. How much unnecessary
trouble pud solicitudo might bo spared to. the
anxious mothers of marriageable girls, could
they make their distinction. ' How very an
noying to a mother and a bevy of girls, after
laying themselves out to please some ,:nice
young man," to heai him accidentally allude
to his wife! This subject really demands
attention, and we think that the girls should
suggest some plan by which these diap.
pointments might bo obviated.
We think there already exists a mode in
which single men can easily be distinguished
from married ones, by ladies of discernment.
It is by paying little attention to the conver
sation and manners of gentlemen. There is
an ease and grace in the manners of married
men, a eensibleness and want of flutter in
their conversation, which enable them to ba
readily distinguishea in a mixed company.
Unmarried men may be distinguished by
a general '"greennpse," a certain frivolous
nsss of conversation, and a peculiar flutter of
deportment, that nothing but mutiiinony can
entirely cure. ,
A Romantic Elopemf.nt. Quito recently,
says a Cincinnati paper, a "youthful, niodesi,
loving pair" having met wilh opposition in
their loves from a grulf papa, resolved to
elope. The father discovered that the daugh
ter had made an arrangement to meet her
lover at u certain place and go' to Covington,
on the opposite ' side of the- river, there to
consummate their long cherished vows.-
Much to his surprise the daughter requested
tho parent to noepmpany her to,' the very
place of meeting at , four o'clock. , He. .re,
turned at that hour, but the bird had flown.
He 'searched : in vaiti for her.; knowing that
she must crass at , the ferry,, he placed him
self on the watch, but found no one on board
the boat but a rasped errpjife, accompanied
by a youthful looking personage. He allow
ed them to proceed, and still remained faith
ful to his vigils. ' The shore ' of Kentucky
reached the cripple and )he yooihfnt pok
ing personage threw ofT their disguise, called
in a priest, and were married in time to re
turn to the old gentleman before he hud for
saken his post... All was explained, . pardon
granted and the trio rode home together! ,
