The telegraph fiom Belgrade announces that Silistria still held out against the attack of the Russian forces on the 20th tilt. The Russians bad lost 1,500 in the attack of the fortress Abdul Meiljiil. The Greek insurrection appears to be less formidable. It is reported that King Oiho accepts the ultimatum. . Naples has declured its intention to main, tain its neutrality. The adhesiou of the smaller German pow crs to the Austro-Piussian treaty has been secured. Russia has certainly concluded a treaty with Khiva. The Russians before Silistria, have been driven back by the besieged four times, with loss. Tunis is to furnish 10,000 men to the Porte.

Being discovered with her prize, aha cut it adrift, and made her way back to Sebastopol in safely. The Neva was free fiom ice, May 2d, and had risen so high that an inundation was feared.

Gentlemen : I have been honored by the roceipt of jour communication of the lSth ultimo, propounding to me certain questions touching the subject of a Prohibitory Liquor Ln To your first inquiry, I reply, that the Supreme Court of Ihe Stale have repeatedly held, and I concur in Ihe doctrine, that the Legislature can exercise all law-making power not expressly forbidden by Ihe Stnte or Federal Constitution' Under this con- sti action, beliovo the Legislature have au thority to control the manufacture and sale of spirituous liquors ; but in the nso of that power, it must be obvious that a law might be passed, which, in ils details, would bo a manifest violation of the Constitution, and hence the impossibility of answering your question distinctly, without seeing ihe exact terms of tho proposed law. As to the second point in tne inquiry, it must oe very dear mat a law, consn.m.ormi in itseil, woulil not do rendered otherwise ny allowing the people to decide by vole whether the Legislature slionld repeal it or not, no matter what that vote might be. To your second inquiry I answer that I sincerely deplore Ihe evils of intemperance, and am now willing, as I have always been. to sanction anv measure to miugate, and, H possible, entirely remove the vice, but I cannot pledge myself to sanction a law, the details ol wmen i nave noi seen, i ne lerms ot tne consuiniion ami oam oi omce wou.u Pvnnniion H Khnnlil h frnn In linlnta of - j o- -- considered its provisions.

Tbe road will therefore be untramelled by any conditions. The grading on the road be tween the above points it nearly all com pleted, and workmen are now engaged in laying down the track. In a few months the rood from Milton to Williamsport will be in running order. From Sunbury to Milton the work, with the exception of the bridge at Northumberland, is light, and can be ready early in the spring. The road from Milton to Danville and Cattawissa will not be ready, we presume, until some time in August. fC7DAVio Longenecker, Esq., President of the Philadelphia and Sunbury Railroad is mentioned as a candidate for the State Senate in Lancaster county. A first rale selection, if Mr. Longenecker can be indu ced to accept. We have also heard the name of Judge Ilelfenstein suggested as a suitable candidate for this county as Senator or member of the House. The Judge would unquestionably make an excellent representative, but like Mr. Longenecker, it is doubt ful if he could be induced to ac cept the nomination or the office. ft" Danville. We made a visit last week to Danville, and were pleased to wit ness the improvements in the town and vicinity. The rolling mill with its numer ous furnaces and ponderous and massive machinery, giving employment to some eisht hundred men. is of itsell worth a visit to those who know how to appreciate such stupendous enterprises. A tow years since where these mills and furnaces are now belching forth their gaseous flames, there wpre quiet fields where the cattle could graze, undisturbed by the heavy rum bling of the machinery, and the frequent detonating reports caused by the pressure of massesol intensely heated iron, weighing nearly one third of a ton, between the iron jaws of what is called the coffee mill, but what more resembles an old fashioned cider mill. Most ol the iron rails manufactured average in weight over 500 pounds, and it is surprising to see with what skill and dexterity these immense rails, glowing with heat, are managed, each one having to pass ob&ut a dozen times through the rollers before il is completely formed. 7Fire at LEwisnrivo. The new Steam Mill ol Messrs. Nesbit, Hayes & Fitchhorn, at Lewisburg, together with about $3,000 worth of grain, was destroyed by fire on Wednesday morning, the 7th inst. The loss is estimated at $13,000, covered by an insurance of $8,000, one half in the Lycoming County Mutual Insurance Company, and the other in the Union County Mutual. The fire is sup posed to have been caused by the friction of the smut machine. C7 Struck by Lightning. During the storm on Thursday week there was one sharp clap of thunder, and we were confi dent that the lightning had struck some where in town. On inquiry we learn that the electric fluid struck the house or rather the lightning conductor on the house of Miss Hunter, but without doing any injury. A cat in the chimney corner, in another house close by, was killed by the shock. 05" The news from Europe shows thai nothing very decisive has yet taken place in the war between Russia and the allied powers. Grain has submitted to a further decline. What is singular and worth recording, is the fact that wheat has becu telling here fifteen cents per bushel higher than in New York. IC7" Japan. The U. S. Steamship Sus quehanna arrived at New York from Jpan, with the important news that Commodore Perry had tucceeded in forming a treaty with that hitherto secluded people, by which they open to our people, their ports for trade and commerce, but are not wil ling to extend that privilege to other nations.

Yesterday newa wat brooghl lo Ibia city lhat Captain Henry Brown, of tha canal boat Flying Cloud, had an affray with soma Irish, man at Ollawa, which resulted in tho shoot, ing of seven of tha men ; it is supposed tha( three wera mortally wounded. The occur, rence happened, we learn, In the following manner: Cnpt Brown's boat wat lockingat LaSalle when an Irishman came on board, and tee ing a dog (wbich was a pet of the Captain's) on deck, for tome reason or other kicked it off Ihe boat into the water. The captain wat below at the time, and when he came on deck asked who kicked the dog into the water. Upon being pointed out Ihe man, he observed, that for two cents he would serve him as he (the man) had the dog. At this the Irishman took two cents from hit pocket, and dared the captain to put hit threat into execution. The captain then knocked the Irishman down, it is said three different timet, and wat on the point of throwing him into the canal when the by standers interfered and separated them The captain soon after started for Chicago with his boat. In the meantime a number of Irishman, twenty-one in all, wo tee it stated, started after Ihe boat in wagons, and succeeded in overtaking him at Ottawa. Here the captain went ashore, accompanied by one of his crew, for a team, and wat soon afterwards attacked by the Irishmen in a body. The man with Capt. Brown discharged a revolver at Ihe crowd, which took effect, wounding one man, and (hen retreated, leaving tbe enptnin alone. Finding his life in danger and no hope of escaping, Capt. B. discharged his revolver six limes, every discharge, we learn, taking effect on his assailant, six of whom were shot, exclusive of the man shot by his companion, making seven in all. This is truly a melancholy n flair, and, we are sorry lo say, but one of Ihe number of deadly riots which have taken place through out Ihe country wiihin a few months. Where this destruclion of lifo is to end God only knows. Bishop Hughes' reply to Gen. Cass' speech has created some acerbity of feeling here, nol indeed with General Cass, who is now engaged on an argument of the Land ques tion which he is about to deliver in the Sen ate, and has not even read il ; but on Ihe part of other Senators who will argue the question more nt length in the Senate, and with far less kindness and urbanity than al ways distinguishes General Cass' productions. General Cass thinks his propositions are so simple, and so directly appealing to Ihe gep eral sense of justice, that Aristotle himself could not argue against them ; since Aristo tle was no casuist. Since, however, Ihe Bishop has thrown down Ihe gauntlet, Mr Badger of North Carolina, one of Ihe ablest Senators in Con gress will take it up. Il is clear, however that tbe prelate and (he Senalor must argue the question of religious tolerunce fiom dif ferent stand points All churches, in all ages, have more or less held to the doolrine ; tin flu salus extra ccclcsiam; against which reason and statesmanship have always pro tested. From all appearances, the slavery question will be swallowed up by Ihe religious agita tion which is about to ensue. Byron said, paradoxically, "man being reasonable, must get drunk," we might as well add, "man be ing free, must be a slave to religious fanati cism." OnsERVEH. Mr. Wisr, thk jErohai't, ascended in a balloon from the Crystal Palace, New Yoik on Friday. The balloon was carried over Long Island ; but, in descending, tho coura geous ceronaut made a narrow escape from death. The grapnel which he threw out tore out the sod, and the balloon bounded several hundred yards; next the car was dashed forcibly into a ravine, and threw him out. He held on to the outside, hanging fast to the car. Tbe grapnel again made its hold, and as Ihe balloon was about rising again, Mr. Wise let himself full into a salt meadow, knocking out one of bit teeth and injuring his jaw by the full. The balloon went olT, bnt the vuyageur offers a reward fur itt return in teason for another ascent from the Palace on Tuesday next. SLNUl RY LODGE, NO. 303, I. O. OF O. F.
