TURKEY. -The Turkish difficulty is considered as settled, although the Czar's acceptance the proposal has not boen announced. His for mal acceptance was daily expected. It was rumored at Constantinople, that the United Slates were negotiating for the pur chase of the port of Marmorizz.i. The Russian force continued quiescent in the Danubian principalities. The Costa affair remained unchanged. The U. S. ship St. Louis was still at Smyrna, where two Austrian tiigales had arrived. ENGLAND. The crops throughout Great Unlaui nre good, and in Iiland it is now satisfactorily ascertained, that there is no potato rot. It is reported that England is negotiating with Denmark, to obtain thu command of an entrance into the Baltic, in case a war aiises with Russia. Dates from the Cape of Good Hope, to the 11th of June, had been received. All was then quiet.

AUSTRIA, The Vienna correspondent of the London Times says : The misunderstanding between the Austrian Government and that of the United Stated is likely lo be a serious one. 0:i the 5ih, the Italian and Hungarian refu gees in Constantinople gave Sir JNJarsh a r ;rM,a,l and the American diplomatist came out on his balcony and gave a cheer t tha fiee.lom of the United Slates, Italy, and Hungary On the 13th, as soon as the two Austiaiti frigates, Bellona and Novarra, tailed into Smyrna harbor, the United Slates sloop weighed archor and left. This cir cumstance is related by I lit Austnan paper with fir) appearance of satisfaction, but in my opinion this Government will at no distant period have cause to me the day on which it gave America an opportunity of picking a quarrel. The Aust.ian press asserts that the assassin of the young cadet a certain Ras- sitz an Hungarian was in the service of Mr, Lewis, tbo English clergyman, and it is hin ted that the revet end gentleman connived at the murderer's escape. It is neeeseary to ay that any charge against a man with a drop of Anglo-Saxon blood in his veins leadi ly obtains belief ?. The Latest from London by Telegraph. Arrival of the India Muil.

Chester, of Providence (I!. 1.) has given an important decision in a liquor case, in which the w itness who swore to Ihe sale testified that he purchased the linuor for the pur nose of having ihe defendant convicted. The judge decided I hat upon iho uncorroborated testimony of a man who would go upon the aiand and swear exultingly that he had in dueed Ihe defendant to commit the crime for the purpose of having an opportunity lo swear against him lhat it took away the safeguard which the law had thrown around 'he citizen for his protection, and the security of a fair and impartial trial when accused of crime. He judged the defendant not guilty, and ordered him to be disohaigeJ. This de eiaion is, we beliove, without a precedent. (From the Nnwark Advertiser, Aug. 4 ) GOLD DIMOVERtE IN OREGON.' The following letter from Copt. Wm.Tich enor, formerly of this cily, communicates some Intelligence of new discoveries of gold in Oregon, which we have not seen staled elsewhore. The same letter mentions that J. S. Gamble, also formerly of this city, had previously left Port Orford : ' PonT Orford, Oregon Territory, ) March 1st, 1853. ( This is a beautiful country, and is settling very fast. There are a great number of men employed here in getting out timber for the San Francisco market. It is mostly of white ceilar, the most beautiful wood 1 ever saw. There is a great abundance of it in this sec tion of Oregon, but there is very little in other seelions. It surpasses white pine, and sells in S.in Francisco in the square hewn form, for mora than the ready sawed Oregon lum ber. There is a very large Indian trade, and there are generally from ten lo Ihirty in one place at a litno. Otter skins are worth here fiom $50 lo 8100 per skin. A person here with a 50-horse engine, lath and planing ma chine, two upright and one ciicular saw, which would cost about S8000, could make about 8100,000 a year. The price for lum her dressed per M. would not exceed $16, and tho freight Irom here to San" Fiaticisoo 815, making an expense of $31 ; the lumber will sell for $90, and thus a profit of $59 w ill be made per M. If there should be only $30 profit, a smart and industrious man could make 375,000 a year. There is no timber on this side of the continent at this time of the kind, and Eastern manufacturers cannot ship it and sell it for less than $5 per M. I am now washing out gold at the rate of ten dollars nn hour. Two others by the side of me, with the assistance of a squaw, (for an Indian man is not worth his food,) are making $50 a day. We will have thousands of iuhabitnuis here in a few months, as gold is everywhere iu this vicinity. All the sol diers in the garrison are at work making from $20 a day upwards, but none less than $16. No person would work for Ihe gold, until my patliier tried, and after two or three hours' woik ho was offered $35 for what was in his machine, which ho took. Tho next day he worked about 4 hours, and again sold his sand for $40. On investigation it was found that ho had sold $60 worth of gold for SC5, and $S0 worth for $40. We have taken out SS0 worth in two bonis and forty minutes, and then let escape $10 worth. This was the fust mining done here, and now it is ascertained that it will yield a rich reward, everywhere along the beach. W. T. Collision on the amili ii und Amour Rati Road Four Elves Lent, many Tenons Injarcd. New Brunswick, August 9. It o'clock, P. M. A dreadful accident occurred, this af ternoon, on the Cimdeu and Amboy Rail Road, which resulted in the loss of sevetai lives and Ihe wounding of a number of pas sengers.

Both trains were rendered perfect wreck. A gentleman just returned from the scene of the disaster, says that four persons were instantly killed, and three dan. geronsly wounded. A great many were alto slightly wounded. The way car of the train from New York was forced, by the concussion, into the ladies' car, where those killed were silting.

It was my luck to be in one of the crushed cars, and fell through the floor upon my back, without receiving Ihe slightest injury. Two cars in each train were completely broken.

An indignation meeting was held by the passcngeis on board the boat, denouncing the culpable negligence of the Company and its officeis. New Orleans, Aug. 3. The yellow fever is diminishing.

Letters from Erzeroum, dated from Telle- ran to May 19th, and from Tabreez to Ihe 29lh, supply ihe following details of the late calamitous occurrences in lhat country, brief statement of which has already been given : On Ihe 3d of May, the towns of Shiraz and Cushan were levelled to tho ground by a violent earthquake, destroying 15,000 souls in the former, and 3,000 in the latter place, and entirely drying up the fine river Zsian- dervood, upon which the town of Ispahan, in a great measure, depends for its supply of water. The drying up of ihe river was fol lowed by an extraordinary flight of locusts, which, in a few hours, laid waste the luxu riant crops of wheat & barley, and destroying the blossoms ol tho fiuit trees. At Khoras- san, a pestilence broke out in the mouth of Rejab ( pril,) und lypus fever of the most deadly nature was raging throughout Astra- bad, Mamaderan, and the Turcoman desert; whilst at Teheran, on the 16 h of May, where cholera morbus was carrying ofT no less than 150 souls per diem, an inundation had swept away 18 dwelling houses, a pub lie bath, the ice dennt, and several men. women, and children. Fortunately for the city (for otherwise the consequences to lifo and property would have been much moro serious,) Ihe water from the fosse or ditch which surrounds it burst out on the plain, washing away the most luxuriant crops of corn and forests of fniil trees, with a number of horses and other cattle. In the midst of all these calamities, whilst Ihe Shah and his court have fled to Imama, ihe Prime Minis ter and his relations carry out their diabetica system of nppiession of the poor, turning n deaf ear to the petitions and complaints ol the people unless accompanied by a fee, and such is the extent of this corrupt practice. lhat, in sums of 20 and 40 shillings, tho Min ister is reported lo have amassed the prince ly foitune of half a million of tomans, w hich are said to have been secretly remitted to Russia, whither he will, before long, no doubt repair, to enjoy this ill-gotten wealth. -V.

The Rio Grande Movement Tho New Yoik Journal of Commerce, of Saturday i says; I Wo learn from nn authentic source that two of the four companies of the fourth regi ment U.

IMPORTANT FROM THE FIHtlERIES. American Vc$sels Arriving. A Collision Ex pected. Washinutow, August 9. Intelligence re ceived here fiom the fishiig gronnds, create some uneasiness. Some fifteen or twenty American vessels have arrived there from Glowcester, Mass., New Castle, New Hamp shire, and Kiltery, Maine, armod with mus kets, boarding-pikes, cutlasses and swivels, determined to fight, if interfered with. Heavy operators have laid up their vessels at the wharves, employed their men on shore, and invested money in Ihe new movement. A collision is daily expected. The Eastern people are said to be satis fied with reciprocity, but are all in arms against the proposed regisliy ot English ves sels to control the coasting tiade. It seems that the fishermen are turned, leporla lo tho contrary, notwithstanding. I'olilicul. Communicated Fur tlic Smibury Aiui-iicua. Mr. Editor.
