and appeared greatly gratified by the sight
of this maitnificeiit specimen of naval Amer
ican architecture. The Daily News slates
that -"the Mayor tf Southampton had brought
befoia the Municipality of that town the
propriety of some public Manifestation to

having honored Southampton by selecting i
s toe rendezvous of bis ' gigantic steam

The Baltic reached Liverpool on the 7th

The British Mediteranean fleet had sailed
from Malta for the Dardanelles, and the
English Channel fleet had been ordered to
the Mediteranean.
The French fleet had arrived in Besica
Bay. ; '
When the Humboldt sailej, the impression
had gained ground both in London and Par
is, that although the Emperor of Russia
might make some demonstrations against
Turkey by menancing, or even by crossing
the Danubean frontier, yet that actual hostil
ities would be avoided by a diplomatic set
tlement of the question. ' Telegraphic des
patches from Vienna state that the Russian
forces had already' commenced their march
towards Moldavia and Wallacha. .
The fourth army corps had also bceu or
dered from St. Petersburg," to proceed from
Warsaw by forced marches to Bressarabia
a Russian province adjoining Moldavia. The
Turks, on the other hand, were not idle, and
were preparing for a vigorous resistance,
The Egyptian fleet and an army of 30,000
men were proceeding to the support of the
Sultan, whilst . the Turcoman chiefs were
raising 100,000 men free of expense to the
Porte, for the defence of Islanism
Notwithstanding these piotetilioui signs, it
was generally thought peace would be pre
served. . The meditation of Austria and
Prussia was spoken of. Count Nesselrode
had also arrived in London with despatches.
The most recent intelligence, however, .is
that published in a third edition of the Timcs
of the 7th inst., to the effect that the Empe
ror of Russia bad despatched a courier from
St, Petersburg to Constantinople with a de
mand that Prinoe MenschikofT last propo
sal should be . accepted by the Porte within
t days,
This fact, says the Timet, is less unfavor
able pacific solution of the dispute than at
first sight appeared to be, and sending of
another courier is a fresh preof that the
symptom of temporization and hesitation
commenced by Prince MenschikofT is con
tinued by the Emperor himself. '
Although it was still fully thought on the
receipt of this new that the peace of Europe
would not be broken, yet, the further devel
opments of the utTnlr, was most anxiously
awaited, v V '' " ' -

it very difficult for pur farmers, to find

RAILWAY ISJtSCTIOKS..
The City Councils of Reading met on
Saturday to open and examine the returns
of the late election, and declared the official
result to be 1680 for the subscription and
708 against it, making a majority of 972 in
its favor, which was followed by the adop
lion of a resolution approving of the result
and declaring the subscription made. Thi
Council then, by a vote of 10 to 5, appoint
ed William Strong, Esq., Solicitor, to ap
pear for the city of Reading in the next
Supreme Court of the Commonwealth, to
be held at Sunbury, in opposition to the
application for an injunction to restrain the
city from subscribing to the capital stock
of the Lebanon Valley Railroad Company
The . Philadelphia subscription to the
Hempfield road and the West Chester
subscription to the West Chester and Phi
ladelphia road, will also be argued at thi
place during the session. The last two ca
ses were adjourned over from Harrisburg.
The Judges not contemplating these suits.
only ordered one weeks court. . If these
cases take up much time, they will have lo
prolong the session one week at least.
The Reading Pri in referring to the
proceedings, states that the 3d Monday in
July next, is assigned for the hearing of th
motion for an injunction, and that many o
the citizens of Reading will be induced to
attend the sitting ol the Court at Sunbury,
to hear the argument of the case.

that the remain were removed from the

ence to our advertising columns, that Mr.
Porham, tho great caterer for the public
amusement, haa made arrangements for
another distribution of Gifts, to commence
on the Fourth of July and lo continue until
all the gifts are given out. Mr. Perham's
succe.'j in the former project, in connection
with the Panorama of California, has indu
ced him to enlarge the list of articles, and to
reduce the number and price of tickets so as
to enable a more general participation. On I
friends should send in their orders for tickets
immediately, and not wait until they visit
the city, as tho probability is lhat thev all
may bd sold befoie '.he time foi distribution
arrives.
