FROM THE SEAT OF vVAR. Aulhenlio intelluzence has been received lhal, on Ihe 29lh of April, (ho port of Odessa, on iho Black Sea, was bombarded lor ten hour by lbs allied fleets, anl pari of the city laid in mini. Four of the un forts by which it was defended were dismantled. Eight Russian and one Austrian merchant ' ships were burned in the harbor. " Three of the British bombarding steamers were twdly damaged by the fire fnrr. the forts. An attempt of the Biiti-h to land 1800 men failed. The Russian fleet camo out of Febastopol during the fiuht and threatened Ihe ullit'il fleet, but without offering to give battle, re tired. The details of the bombarlinent hate no! been received. The Russians have completely evacuated Little Wallachia. The Russian r iu lit wing now tests on Alula, w ith their headquarters t Buohatesl, I on the Danube. Therefore the interest of I tho campaign again concentrates on Ihe ope- 1 rations below Nicopoli. The Tntks have come out of Kulaf.it, and are occupying ull the towns on the tiock of the Russians. " The Russians are besieging Silistria, and would assault it about the 1st of May. The allied troops are still idle. The Greek insurrection was unchanged. From Asia we have nothing of importance. Admiral Napier's fleet wns awaiting the French vessels. He was blockading the Gulfs of Finland and Bothnia. On the 21st of April, Napier was at Stock holm, with 19 ships. France has ordered all the Russian Consuls to leave the Empire. THE WAR. It was prematurely announced in most of the English and French papers, a week be fore the event took place, that the allied fleets had bombarded the city of Odessa Without stopping to comment on the reniaik able circumstance that the intention of the English Admiral evidently leaked out in ad Vance of his acting upon it, we hare now to . announce that a portion of Ihe allied (leet has actually bombarded Odessa. An account f the bombardment is officially promulgated at Vienna, whence it has been telegraphed to the French and British press. It seems but a half measure after all, but perhaps tho accounts yet to arrive by mail may show it in a more satisfactory light. We have as yet to clean our information from telegraphic scraps, and flying rumors, consequently do not know what steps pre ceded, the bombardment whether the British Admiral made any formal demand upon ihe city which was refused, or w hether the Russians at once acted upon Ihe aggrrs sire. Not unlikely both Ihese circumstances occurred. , One statement says that the bombardment was over in two hours; another that it con tinued incessantly for ton hours, and only closed with the night. Tho Austrian official account, published at A'ierna oa the 30;h, elates as the result of the action, that 'a bat tery of four guns was destroyed, mid one Ausliian ship (the Sla Catharine,) and eiaht Russian (merchant) ships i:i harbor were burned." The Russian telegraphic account is signifi cant. It is in these terms : ''The English and French Admirals demanded the surrender of Ihe Russian ships in the port of Odessa This being refused, bombardment commen ced from eighteen ships. A small pan of the city is destroyed. An attempt to land J8U0 men failed. The bombardment has produced no effect." Three of the English steamers were badly xlamaged. THE DANUBE. It was fully expected that the Russians vould undertake important operations against Rustchuk, Nicopolis and RaFsnva. No fears were entertained of ihe ability of Omar Pasha to maintain himself until the allies ar rive. The Turks from Kalafat have already Muglavit, Gunia, Pojana and Pulechti, and were expected to reach Krajova on April 28ih or 29th. The Russians, on 'tho 12:h, evacuated their hospitals and magazines at Krajova; Gen. LipranJi, with the division under his command, was expected there on he 25, and would leave on the 27ih. The evacuation of Little Wallachia by Ihe Russians is complete, and was skillfully per formed, the retreat being covered by n suc cession of unimportant yet harassing attacks Upon ihe Turkish positions. The retreat of the Russians, of course, rendered necessary change in the Tuikish front, and makes it no longer requisite to maintain at K'.il.ifat the 60,000 men, and immense force of artillery hitherto mounted there. Part or tho Turkish lorce from Kalafut hss, therefoio, occupied MuSl.il, fcc, as above stated, and another lwion is moving on mora maiiaced pomls of the Danube, and in particular on Lorn, Ruhova and Rustchuk.

PllOXTSIEO. 1 A man named Jeremiah Itager w drowned at Ihe coal wharves, on Monday afternoon. lie accidentally fell from his boat, striking his head against the guards of another boat in the fall, and linking im mediately, was drowned before he could be rescued. His late residence was near TurLutville in thii county. He leavei a wife and child. We can not avoid reprobating, in this connexion, the barbarous practice of at tempting to resusilate drowned persons by .rolling them over a barrel or holding them up by the heels, in order to get the water out of their stomachs. Probably a surer mode of preventing resusitation, short of cutting the unfortunate's throat, could not be used. The water a person swallows is not the cause of his death : it is the want of oir which produces suffocation. As soon as the body is taken from the water, it should be stripped of clothing, placed in horizontal position, with the head and shoiililerssiightly elevated, in a warm, well ventilated room, and well rubbed with warm dry towels. Warm bricks shoujd be placed to the feet, and the nostrils and mouth cleansed of mucus. While friction is being used to bring back a circulation in the skin, recourse should be had to artificial respiration. This is done by inflating the lungs by means of a small bellows, the nozzle of which is placed in one nostril, while the other and the mouth is kept closed ; then withdrawing the oh siruclinns and expelling the air by gentle pressure on the pit of the stomach. Thi operation thoiild be repeated ahout fifteen limes in a mmule. Care should be taken not to force too much air into the lungs, or a rupture of the delicate membranes might occur. If a bi llows can not be procured, the operator may inflate the lungs by blow ing into the mouth through a small tube, or by placing his- mouth upon that of the patient. While forcing the air in, the protuberance in front of Ihe wind pipe commonly known as "Adam's apple" should be gently pressed upward and back ward to prevent the air from going into the slomach. Brandy and camphire may be used in rubbing the body, but care should be taken to avoid their too free use and all violent rubliittg. The great object is to restore warmth to the body and retain it there, and to induce respiration. This operation should be continued for six hour?, unless animation sooner returns. In the mean time a physician can be procured who will give the proper directions. Hundreds of lives have been sacrificed by ignirance of the proper means to rettore animation in drowned persons, and we pub!Uh the above in the hope that it may be of some service. Mat Oil LAW III another column of to-days paper will ! be found an net-of Assembly regulating the of spirituous liquors which was passed ; at ,lle las' session ol the Legislature, l tie ! Iaw stringent enough. It affords adequate protection against the abuse of ,he traffic, while it gives to those who like j to take on occasional drink every opportu- i "''.V indulge that appetite. The passage alon of the law will not be of any service, ad from experience it must be admitted there is not much likelihood of its provi- sions ever being enforced. A number of ; laws somewhat similar anil intended to I "'" sanie l,h"ci nave be,,n permitted ;lo slumber soundly in the pnmphlct laws i n(l digests f.r a number of years. I here 1 ls no knowing what may he the late ol this younger child; whether it shall sleep with its brothers, or be enforced. There is not much use in attempting to lick man's ap petites into shape by acts of Assembly. If the Maine Law men are really in ea in est and wish to accomplish something for thei fellow creatures, besides securing their votes for political advancement, they have a good chance ol showing it. They did not like to handle the old rusty laws a hal' century old; perhaps they may take hold of this new one, which, though it bears a strong likeness to its predecessors, has the advantage ot being fresh from Ihe mint. We never had much confidence in them and douht if they will lake much trould in the premises. At all events we hop they may be actuated more by philanthropy than the provisions ol Ihe sixth section of the act. That section demonstrates the correct knowledge ol human nature our lawmakers at llarrisburg have acquired, where they have discovered that a man's conscience lies in his breeches pocket.

Hotel ' ) Philadelphia, May 16, 1S51 The season of warm weather has now fairly commenced, and per consequence. ices, mineral watei, and other cooling bever ages are in great demand, to say nothing of brandy, lager beer, and other liquids of similar chnrae.ter, which are always in sea son and never out of fashion. In a few weeks more those who have the means and the inclination, will leave the city for the country, and the different watering places which arc becoming more popular and nu merous every year. Tho new rail road from Camden lo Abseco-n, is nearly completed. The distance is sixty miles, and will place Philadelphia within two hours ride ol Ihe Ocean nnd a new wateiiug place. There is nothing i.-i which rail roads and steam power has effected a greater revolu tion, ihan tho vegetable markets at this seasun. Straw berries and cherries from the south, have been in market for several weeks, peas for more limn a week, while new potatoes find their way from Bermuda, i wnen rrnr own are haul v he.j nn iit to pront. Hut one thing mus be said, these exotics are much inferior lo those of our own roductio:!. The war in Emopo is already becoming an old lopie, and e.veites.mnch less interest i. . i . . now iinrii net mere was nomintr ninrn than a mere apprehension of hostilities. The F.irperorof Russia is making prepara tions for n most vigorous tesistance nnd is gathering the resources of his immense em. pire, fully determined to fiht it out. The English nnd French may succeed in destroy ing the Russian fleet, but they will have to accomplish much mort tn bring the hanchty Czar to terms. When it is recollected that Russia is thn largest unbroken nnd connected empire in ihe world that in teriitoiial ex tent it is foily one times larger than France, or one hundred and thirty eiaht times larger than Eiiirland, some idea may be formed of the resources and extent of this huge empire. The iic'tion of Congress on iho Nebraska Teiritoii.il bill, created in this city, no little excitement, mid had ii not been nnstnoned? there was no tellina what scenes might have been enacted. Whether the minority were justifiable; in pieveiilini; a vote, by calling the yeas and nays and internosiuz other lilficultii-s, is a question that I will not de termine. 1 he northern members have un questionably, a stiong repugnance to this Nebiask.i bill, w hile many who will not op. pose ifc feel that il was unnecessarily obtru- led upon them at this particular time They do not like the idea of repealing ihe ''Mis. souri Compromise," which has hitherto been looked upon as a compact as binding as Ihe constitution itself. iur iiusninriing ine nin price ot grain V. .....!.

THE MEWI BT THE CANADA. The storm at tha east having abated, we have been enabled ip receive our despatches from Halifax, containing the latest European news by Ihe Canada. A Russian war-steamer, j appears, has succeeded in runninjawith satety from the Archipelago through the Uar- danelles, the Bosphorus iulo the Black Sea, passing all ihe fortifications in safety and elu' ding ihe British, French, Turkish and Egyp. tain fleets. This is certainly a bold enter prise, and the commander of the steamer dis serves credit for Ihe success of his endeavor. What has become of the sleepless vigilance of the combined fleet Y It occasioned great discontent and censure, recently, in the Biit ish Parliament and with the press of Eng land, that a Russian convoy had safely lan ded troops and munitions of war in Asia while Ihe British ships were scouring the Black Sea in quest of tho Russian fleet. What will they now say of the vigilance of the allied fleet, when a Russian steamer dar ingly faces them and walks safely through obstacles enough to appal the stoutest cour age daring and enterprise which are sure to command them. While Ihe British are cap turing Russian merchantmen wherever they can find them, Nicholas gives the British and French merchant vessels nearly lo the end of May lo escape from Russian ports on the Black Sea, and to the middle of June to leave the Baltic ports. This is a degree of liberal ity towards commerce, on the part of R'nssia, especially deserving of credit. From Spain the news is confirmatory of the differences between Mr. Soule and Ihe Spanish govern ment arising out of ihe exorbitant demands of tho minister. ARRIVAL OF THE WASHINGTON. N'ew York, May 14. The steamship Washington from Havre via Southampton, arrived at quarantine last night, and came up to port this afternoon. She has on board 240 passengers and a full cargo. In addition, sho brings Ihe passengers and crew of Ihe ship Winchester, numbering about five hundred souls. The Winchester was from Liverpool, bound lo Boston, and was wrecked during the terrific gale on tho 17th of Apiil. The Washington fell in wilh Iho wreck on Ihe 2d instant, ami notwith standing tho prevalence of a heavy gale, suc ceeded in rescuing all her passengers anil crew. Tho wreck went down in thirty niinutes after the last of her crew had left her. Tho Winchester belonged lo Boston, and had a considerable cargo on board. She sailed from Liverpsol on the 9;h of April.
