The Royal Mail Steamer Aia has just r rived here from Liverpool, with dale to the 9Stb instant, thiee day later than the advi oet per Atlantic The Asia sailed from Liverpool early on Saturday morning. EASTERN AFFAIRS. No naval or military baltlea hail open re ported since the sailing of the Atlantic. France and England ontitinued to make formidable preparations for the conflict. Austria's movement were becoming much mote favorable toward the allies of Turkey. Political events of l ho highest importance were beooming developed in regard to the position of the parties in present difficulties England has formerly notified Russia of hrr intention to send a fleet to the Baltic, and that Sir Chat lea Napier would be placed in command. The Russian fleet on the Baltic is under orders to fit out fur service. The English ships are surveying off" the entrance to the Baltic France demands that the Republic of Lu- beo shall permit .the establishment of a depot of coal and provisions there, free of duty. Tho allied fleets remain in the Bosphorus Five additional French ships of the line are to join the Baltic fleet. Great secrecy is observed with regard to the movements of the French expedition, but it is known that two divisions will leave Toulon on tho 6th of March. ENGLAND. It was generally reported that a manifesto has been agreed to by franco end England, having all the force of a formal declaration of war, and that it will appear in a few days. It was also further rumored that England has mads a final announcement to the Czar, nam ing the definito lime within which he must evacuate the Principalities. Prince George, of Cambridge, will com mand the cavalry under Lord Raglan. Accounts from the Danube state that both forces are preparing for a great battle. Nothing new has been received from Asia FRANCE. A very significant announcement in tiie Paris Muniteur says : ''If the (lacs of France and Austria are united in the East, France will not permit nny attempt at a separation beyond tho Alps." This is regarded as a threat to raise Hungary and Italy if Austria sides with Russia. The samo article also says: "France cannot suffer the integrity of the Ottoman empire to bu broken by aggres sive acts from Greece." And further, that France discountenances any attempt at revo lution any where." This last announcement is viewed as official. AUSTRIA. Austria continues to send troops to the southeastern frontier, but says that she does so merely to prevent disturbances spreading to Setvia, Montenego and Bosnia. PRUSSIA. The attitude of Prussia remains unchanged and unexplained. TURKEY. Th Greek Insurrection. The Greek Insurrection in Turkey had become quite formidable. In Epirus the insurgents have taken the town of Aria and besieged the Turks in the citidel, and three thousand in surgents were within ten miles of Ionian. An Albanian detachment of Greek regular troops had gone over to the insurgents. Arm ed bands of Albanians were going from vil lage to village, arousing the peuple and dis tributing arms gratis. Inflammatory placards were also circulating. GREECE. The Greek government is apathetic and powerless in view of the coming conflict. In Greece itself great excitement prevails and in the Ionian Islands disturbances have taken place. At Solonica, on the 9th February, the in surrection broke out. The Tuiks attacked and defeated the insurgents. ASIA. Dislurbanse have taken place in Asia Mi. nor, and severe conflicts are reported at Ku taiah, Augura, and other places. THE LATEST-PERSIA. The Shah of Persia has officially announ ced that he will remain neutral in the war. ENGLAND. Lord PaTmerston has announced in the House of Commons that Smith O'Brien is to be pardoned. Mr. Buchanan was present at the last levee given by the Queeu. CALIFORNIA NEWS. Arrival of the' North Star. LATER. HIO.U CALIFORNIA. The steamship North Star, Captain Miner arrived at New Yoik on Saturday, bunging advices frm San Francisco to the 16ih of February, and from Panama to the tirst of March. The North Star left e; Aspinxall the Uni ted Slates sloop of war Cyaue, Commander Hullius. She arrived on the 1st of Maich, having sailed from Caledonia .Bay on the 27th of January. Her officers and crew are reported in good health. From Hi All Culifuruia ) The political excitement during tba fort night has beeu intense. The bribery ease, w herein Mr. Palmer, of the banking house of Palmer, Cook Si Co., was accused of hav. ing attempted, to bribe Senator Peck to use his influence to bring on the senatorial elec tion, was closed bafore the Senate, on the 3J. Mr. Palmer was acquitted by a vote of 2b to 3. Subsequently a resolution, declaring that senator J'sck had not intentionally accused Mr. Palmer falsely, was pawed with only one opposing vote. Palmer is known to be a friend of Broderick, and it is universally con. eeeded that the Utiei will be eleoted United JbUlei Senator, if .so eketinii be held Ihit session, and it was expected by those who brought the alleged bribery before the Hen ate and the public, that it would Injur Bro derick's prospects; but the effect seems to have been rather the contrary. A good deal of surprise and mortification was created by the announcement that the coupons of the State' Bonds had not been paid when due at the Exchange Bank in New Yoik. The Slate bankers, Palmer, Cook & Co , have informed the Legislature that th ir house had more than sufficient funds at the Exchange Bank to pay the interest. A reso lution Vas introduced into the House to vote thanks to Duncan, Sherman & Co , for having stepped forward to pay the interest, but the resolution was laid over till farther informa tion be received. The proceedings of the filibusters in Low er California have excited a good deal of in dignation about San Diego. The celebrated Peralta claim, covering about sU'y thousand acres of land across the bay, cast of the city, was decided by the United Stales Land Commission on the 8th. Tnic Mines. There have been four or five rainy days during the fortnight, and the gul ches and dry diggings continue to be well supplied with water. The news from all portions of the mines is cheering, and there are many rpports of rich diggings latelj dis covered in diflerenl mining districts. At Cherokee Flat rumor has it that a vein of decomposed quartz was found, about six Inches in diameter, which is unbroken, and has proved exceedinsty rich. From 200 pounds of dirt 28 pounds nf gold wore washed. Considerable excitement has been the con sequence. High prices, even $50,000, it is said, have been offered for the claim, or a share in it, and refused. At Chips Diggings, a boulder weighing about four tons was found in a tunnel, and in the boulder was found a vein of gold estima ted to be worth 8 10,000 nt least. OREGON. Our iiews from Oregon is to the 3d. The cold weather experienced here about the 20ih of January, was severely felt in Oregon. The Columbia River was obstructed by the ico, so that for more than a week there was no communication between Astoria and the country above. It is said that coal has been found in Polk county. ' Further difficulties had occurred with the Indians on Coqnille river. Some alleged out rages by the red men were avenged by a party of fifty miners, who attacked an Indian village, and killed sixteen of the aborigines. WASHINGTON TERRITORY- Our news is to the 1st. There has been bnt little communication with Oregon, by reason of the cold. It is said that Governor Stevens has notified the Hudson Bay Company, that they must withdraw from tho Indian trade within the territory, on the 1st of July. The Governor appeared determined to en force the strictest observance of the United Slates laws relative to tho intercourse with Indians. LOWER CALIFORNIA. Our latest dates from Eiisenada are to Jan 27lh.- .About the 20th, Walter addressed a pro clamation to his men preparatory to the march for Sonora, exhorting them to follow him to rescue the people from the tyranny of the Mexican Government and the atrocities of the Apaches. On the 24ih, 45 men left his camp against his will. The two parties came near having an open battle, and sever al officers actually ordered his artillerymen to fire tho little field piece at the seceders. The man at the gun refused. Tho foily-five men arrived at this city, nnd report that the food i( of the coarsest kind ; that there is no pay save Sonora sciip, and that private pro perty is taken without ceremony. Tho filli busters remaining, obout 150 in number, were to start for Sonora about the 5th of February. It is reported that the filibusters intend to take Tiburon Inland, about 100 miles above Guaym.is, and that they have made arrangements tc have a steamer as a transport. WHOLESALE MCRUEItS. Two Men shct, and another Hung by the People. We just learn of death and destruc tion by wholesale, on the Indian lands in the neighborhood of Big Prairie, between Berlin nnd Steven's Point. The fuots, as we are in formed, are these : Last fall Mr. Frederick Cart v right, formerly of Delaware county, State of New York, was arrested for the mur der of a Mr. Furinan. The act of last fall was the result of law difficulties between Cartwright and Furmanj Cartwright was committed to jail at Ot-likosh awaiting trial. Under our laws of last winter abolishing capital punishment, Cartwright was admitted to bail, and was at home. Some of his neighbors who had taken sides against him in his difficulties, deeming the law insuffi cient to meet their views, undertook to drive him from the county, or, as is alleged, to get him out of the way, dead or alive. Two 'men, on Saturday last, made some assaults upon Cartwrighl's premise.", in which Ca't wright fired a pistol, immediately killing one of the assaulting patty. The remaining one drew from the premises the body of his dead comrade, and then made several attempt tj fire the building. Tho wife of CmUvrigfu extinguished the flumes several limes, and as often the man relumed to his purpose, until Cartwright put a slop to the matter by firing another pistol aud fatally wounding the remaining assailant. During Sunday the neighborhood was aroused and attempts made to get hold of Cartwright, for the purpose of lynching him, but by the aid of friends Cartwright succeed- e I in teep n? them off until Monday, when he was teid by one hundred men and sum- mirily hung until dead. Our informant could give none of the par ticulars ol ilia last scene, and we may be wiongly informed upon soma points, but or Ihe leading features of the transactions there is no doubt.

We understand it is in excel lent order to accommodate the increased tonnage which will be thrown upon it du ring the present season. tty" A young man named Black hud his hand severely mutilated by a circular saw in the Big Mountain Company's mill at Shamokin, on Tuesday. 07 The Postmaster General has decided that "an actual subscriber to a weekly newspaper, residing within the county where the same is printed and published, is entitled to receive such paper free of postage at any office in the adjoining coun ty, provided such is the one at which he usually receives communications by mail. LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. The members of both houses lelt Harris burg on Tuesday, the 9th ins!., in a special train for Philadelphia, where it is their in tention to spend a week or ten days and a good deal of the people's money in a giand spree. This manner of passing the time was not provided for by the Constitution, but it is probably .more congenial to their dispositions and more fitted to their capaci ties than the object of their session at the capitol. The framers of the Constitution possibly did not contemplate this kind of a peripatetic assembly, Which perhaps they ought to have provided for ; as there is less danger of being burdened with bad laws while the law-makers are on a bust, than if the collected wisdom is at work in its proper place and probably the morals! of the members are in no greater danger. It has become parliamentary usage in Pennsylvania to have one legislative ex cursion at least duiing the winter. It may be a trip to Baltimore to enable members to form an idea of the kind of enactments needed by the York and Cumberland Kail Road Company ; a jaunt over the Pennsyl vania Road to Pittsburgh, to make the policy ol a repeal of the tax on tonnage more evident ; or the freedom of the con solidated Quaker City as a reward for their promptness in pawing the consolidation bill ; to say nothing of the family parties given to the Maryland House of Delegates or any other public bodies. This kind of thing was formerly confined to New York Aldermen. The legislature of Pennsylva nia, w hose unpaid debt ot Forty Millions entitles her to a high rank, have imbibed the spirit of the age, and given a prestige to sprees on a national scale. On Friday the Governor and both Hoa ses took an excursion up and down the Deleware, drank champaigne, ate boned turkeys and ice cream, and returned in time for a grand ball at the Chinese Mu seum. On Saturday they visited Girard College, the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, and the Mint, whence they were taken to the Penitentiary and House of Refuge. In night they had session at the Con solvation Banquet. What they have been doing since, Las npt been made public possibly on account of the exclusion of the reporter?, 1 c v " 07" The roads hav beta in a worse i state Ibis spring than we have ever seen. Twice during the past week the stage coacb has been swamped between her and Nor thumberland. The fine weather and warm sun and winds of the last few days have been doing wonders in the way of drying them up. We bear some people speak of it as lazy weather ; when the industrious manner in which has been clearing away the mud, bringing out the grass and snow drops and importing robins, blue and black birds to greet morn with melody, besides drying up our ideas and taking all inclina tion to labor out of ourself, and a number of our friends, certainly entitles the early pring days to a very different appellation. ff7 Whio State Convention. -This convention convened at Harrisburg on the 15th inst., and nominated the Hon. James Pollock of this county, for Governor ; Hon. Daniel M. Smyser, ot Bucks, for Supreme Judge, and George Darsie, of Alleghany, for Canal Commissioner. EF There has been a fine freshet in the Susquehanna during the whole of this week. Very little lumber has yet come down, and unless the high water continues the price of lumber-this season will be ex travagant. SD" Printer to Congress. A. O. P. Nicholson, Esq., surviving editor of the Washington Union, was last week elected Printer by the House of Representatives, in place of his deceased partner, the late Gen. Robert Armstrong. LETTER. I ROM TIIE EDITOR, DATED I U. S lintel, Philadelphia, March 14, 1851. The hotels nf tho city were more than usually cio wiled the past week with stran gers und visitois. The celebrations in com memoiation of the consolidation of the dis tricts into one gienl city, brought a great many lo witness and to participate in the ceremonies. Philadelphia is now the largest city in the Union, though New York may excel her something in population. She is now makit-g powerful efforts with hei po wo; fill rival, lo grapple for the great trade of the West and the lakes. The Penn- sylvania Rail Road has already in a measure, accomplished Ihe fiist, and the Sunbury aud Eiio road will not fail lo secure the other. On Friday last the celebrations were com menced, by nu excursion in a steamer around Ihe city. The Governor, Heads of Depart ment, and niembura of tho legislature were nearly all here by invitation. In the evening the Grand Ball earno oil at the Chinese Museum. The number of persons present has been variously estimated at from 3,000 to 4000. It was certainly a magnificent airair. The company began to arrive about 9 o'clock, und llio upper saloon wus soon crowded- The. galleiics wero also thronged with promemiilors und lonkeis on. About thirty cotillions were on the floor, Hint to those who are loud of dancing and go d mu. sic, the scenu was at onco exhiliratiug aud interesting. The saloon was tastefully and handsomely lecoraled, the decorations alone costing Hbout twelve hundred dollars. Festoons of aurel. interspersed wilh camelias, hung bo tween llio pillars and around the gnllei ies. The stars and stripes, gracefully hung in various styles, and in every part of the hall, furnished the mnt appropriate and beautiful pory. The spaces between the alcoves under the g;tlierie were occupied oy large mirrors in elegant gilt fiarnes. The gas lights between the columns in tho galleries, which ordinarily consist of but a single burn er, were this evening changed to represent stars, composed of numerous rmall jets of flame. About 1'2 o'clock the signal was given for ... i. .i i supper, which was prepared in tue lower saloon. A crowd had already gathered around Ihe doois, and there appeared to be a perfect jam. At ibis juncture one of the managers came forward, aud stated that la dies should bo first admitted, and gentlemen without ladies must wait. This was lather a damper for ibu uiifurlunato bachelors, aud husbands whose better halves were absent, but as I never had any partiality for a sec ond tab'e edition of a feast, I kept in close contact wiih a bevy of young girls, and took by the hand a young mUs who was in great d ngor of being crushed by the jam. We wore all shuved in together, though not 1 am afraid, without starling the stitching and un. derpintiing of a number of diesses, kc. Four or five tables extended Ihe whole length of the loom. There was no room for chans, and each or.e began to cut, slash and uncork for himself. While one was dipping up oysters, another was helping himself out of the same dish with a fork. A third, perhaps, was cutting dnwu a candy ornament, scat tering the fragments among the oysters, ice creams and jellies. Setting down your turn bier of champaigne, there was no certainty but you would pick up the lady's next to you, and she yours, but, as one of them re- maiked to me, it was all the same, provided there was something in it. After attending to. these little alfairs for about thirty minutes I passed around the room, watching the ope rations of this, always the most interesting part of these ertertainments, though it may be unsentimental to say so. We then made an effort to get into the upper saloon by Ihe back stairs, and there met a crowd forcing their way down. Of course another jam was the consequence, and some men of roiund dimensions, wilh a corresponding vacuum lo be filled, gave vent to their feelings in most expressive signs at their detention aud the pressure of the crowd. Having reached the upper saloon in order to get out into the ttrset, we found it almost a bnpeles task, in consequence of the orowd going and coining, on the stairs. - Shperintendemt ArroiNTEP. Gov.

Washington, March 14. Senatc Mr. Pratt presented a memorial from citizens of Baltimore, praying for an improvement in Ihe navigation of the Pataps- co river. Keferred to a snesial committee. Mr. Everett presented a memorial signed by 3030 clergymen, against the Nebraska bill. Mr. Douglas, in the course of some few remarks, denounced Ihe memoralists and impugned their motives. He characterized their charges against the Nebraska bill as a brench of faith, nsa base falsehood, designed for political effect. Mr. Houston replied, defending the right of Ihe petition. It was evident that the pe titioners thought that there was something radically wrong in the bill. He said that there was nothing monstrous in the memo rial. He had, on the floor of the Senate, de nounced the bill as a flagrant breach of faith towards the Indians aud towards tho Com promise. After considerable discussion, Mr. Peltit objected to the petition, because it was pre sented in an ecolesiaslical form. IIousk. Mr. Appleton presented a great petition, 250 feet long, against the Nebraska bill. Mr. Boyce objected lo its reception. The House Ihen took up and passed the joint resolution explanatory of Ihe law regu lating ihe number of Cadets in the Militury Academy. FRO.11 SALT LAKE AND TIIE r LAI. VS. There has been some arrivals on the Upper slissoun horn the ?alt I. nke City, bringing hti'A's of a strange and stirring character. The Fremont (Iowa) Journal gives a summa ry of ihe news, as gleaned from Mr. J H Jones and Capt. Homer, of St. Joseph, Mo., and Mr. B:ewer, of Council Bluff City. They report all Ihe mountain Indians in a starving condition, and eating their ho ses. The Utah chief, Walker, was pieparing to give the Mormons battle, and as he has enlisted in his cause the Camanches and Apaches, a bloody struggle may be expected. He has sworn a war of extermination, sud woe betide the Mormons who fall into his hands. The Mormons endeavored to make a treaty with him, but his demands were con sidered intolerant and they would not comply wiih them. He required that they should build him a house as large as Gov. Young's, on a prominence near the city, pay him a large sum of money, and furnish him wiih a many wives as their veritable Governor has So Ut as the house and money are concerned the Mormons were willing to comply, but furnishing the wives was another matter, and here ihe negotiations ceased. A war party of the Sioux aud Cheyenne was met within three sleeps of New Fort Kearney, who had been after the Pawnees, but had not found any, and were then on their return home. A. W. Babbitt, Esq., Secretary of Utah, and Orson Hyde, were to leave Salt Lake city in February, for the Slates. They will be accompanied by Chief Justice Read and Judge Adams. The Arapphahos, Chevennes and Sionx are making preparations lo exterminate the Pawnees in the spring. ARRIVAL OF TIIE PHILADELPHIA-LATER, FROM HAVANA.
