Bombardment of Olcssa-Purt of 4he atn
Iffins-Eipht Russians and on Austrian
Merchant Ship, llarned in the h 'arbor -,
Collisiion in the CVa-i.it-180 Lives Lost.
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.

I.tTTKn FROM Tllli EDITOR, DATED
U. S. 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

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.

looked upon as a compact as binding as Ihe
constitution itself.

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.
Tub Louisville Democrat says that one of
Ihe jurors in the Ward trial took his plows
to a blacksmith of Stephehsburgh, and offer
ed him the money to do the work needed on
them, but Ihe latter refused to wotk for him
ut all. One of tho (ncrchauts of the town
refused to sell one of the juroisgoods fo. cash
The last instance of modesty is that of a
lady who refused lo wear a watch in her bo
som, because it had hands un it.
