Tho interest of the news bos in the opera tions before Sebastopol, tho dates from which, by telegraph, nre to the 4th instant, tho day previous, to the suiling of tho steamer. Tho British government is very cautious in giving out intelligence But the fact thnt, on the 2th ultimo, nineteen days after tho bombardment had commenced, thn Allies had still mndo no progress warranting an as ault, shows tho depornte nature of tho de fence and the little hopo there is of taking tho town. The last dates say that tho Allies temporarily suspended their fire on tho l!8lh, bu'. we do not hear subsequently of then hav ing resumed it. Tho advices from Sebastopol nro to the th i nst. Tho allies were steadily gaining ground, having captured ulltlie Russian outworks. Sanguinary ci.connters wero freo,nont, and ft largo unniber of Russian mortars have been taken, acii many prisoners.

Tho position of the allies was regarded as critical, notwithstanding the- advantages gamed. An immense Russian force is repor ted concentrating near Sobastopol. It is aidto bo 100,000 strong. Numerous reinforcements are constantly roachiug the Allies. Tho French reserve of 80,000 men, near Constantinople, was expected to be sect to Bulakluva. Lord John Russell had reached London, nd M.

Tho English had captured the first Russian Riflo pit ou tho night of tho 17th ult, after a desperato encounter, in which Col. Graham Kgerton, tho field officer iu command, was killed. On tho 20th an attack was made on the second Russian Riflo pit, when it was almost immediately abandoned. According to the statements of Polish de serters, there ure 100,000 Russians in the vicinity of Sebastopol, 00,000 of whom arri ved from Scmpchropol. Tho Forts on the North fide of the harbor bavo taken part in tho cannonade, carrying their shots clear into tho lines of the Allies. THE LATEST BY TELEGRAPH. The latest despatches from Sebastopol state that a sharp engagement took place on tho night of tho 1st of May, when a front and left attack was made upon the Russian rifle pits, aud the w holo taken, with eight light mortars, and i!00 prisoners. Tho wholo af fair was a brilliant achievement for tho Al lies. Mehcmet Ali has been-recalled from ex ile. Gon. Canrobert reports his troops as rndy for immediate operations. Orders have been received to prepare transports. Sebastopoi., Muy 4. On Wednesday night tho French, under Gen. Pelessier attacked tho advaneo works of tho Quarantine Bas tion, and carried them at the point of tho Ivtvonet. takimr twelvo mortars, and cstab- Jishing themselves in position. On tho fol- j lowing night tho Russiuns made a sortie to regain the position, but after a sanguinary engagement, wero driven back. Intelligence from Halaklavu is up to April 17th. Tho narrative is a chequered one. Gon. Bizot, tho commander of the French en iuoers, died of a wound received by him in the trenches, and was buried on tho lGth. Cn the 14th, the French exploded three mines under the Flagstaff Battery, with only par tirtl effect j and, though tho Russians appre hended an assault, tho injury was not suffi ciently great to justify the operation. Ou the night of the 13th, a sortie took place, which cost tho French 'Mi) men and six offi cers, but were repulsed with moro tlian ordi nary success aud more than ordinary slaugh ter. Putting (ill these things together it would seem that we have certainly made 60iuo pro gress in our operations, that we aro gradually drawing nearer to the object of our uttack, and that the enemy huve found themselves quite unable to carry out or maintain tho conuter works with which at one time they so seriously threatened our position. ' We need every man thai cau bo sent, and yet we hear of -10,000 French troops rcmaiu ing on the Hosphorou and a whole division of cavalry which has spent the winter at Ad rianoplo. Never was there a situation so full of hope and frar, of danger nnd of prom ise. One moment we xeeni likely to grasp great successes, tho ue.t suggests thj uppre Jacnou of enormous reverses.

Intelligence from Snlt Lakocity represents thnt Col. Steptoo declines tho nomination of Governor of Utah, and that Judge Kinney, Chief Justice, has been oll'erod the appoint ment. Ho has stated thnt ho will accept. Col.

The object of his expedition was to secure the murderers of Cnpt. Gunnison, Mr. Kern, of Philadelphia, nnd others massacred by the Indians in October, 1853. The Chiefsagrced to give up seven Indians.

The public l.uvo time to time with accounts of "outrages" committed by Spanish cruisers oil American vessels. Recently Capt. Waidle.of the Bay State schooner, complained of an "outrage" committed by the British cruiser Bonnilhi, of a very aggravated character, and which, if true, would deserve the severest censure. As a general rule, we have found that American captains who wili to keep out of tho difficul ty can do so, and if they uro ever troubled ut all at sea bv fori ign cruisers, it is for some ! violation of the laws which have been estab lished for the protection of commerce. In the case oftlie Bay State, according to u vol untary statement maiio by the mate, tho facts are as follows : Tho Bonnilln, cruising for Russian privateers, discovered the lny j State boru up und hoisted her ensign. No response being given to the signal, the crui ser lired a blank shot. Capt. Wardlo told the crew of his vessel that he would hoist 110 colors, nnd that if the cruiser fired into him it j would be the best voyage ho ever made. Seven guns were fired by tho cruiser before the captain brought to. and then not till it fired a shot across his bows. I Oil coining on board, the commander of tho cruiser said : "Why did you not lmi-t your colors? It would havo saved ull this 1r,inli1i Otiv nnlioii i-i ttl v:ir und we have : notwithstanding, 1 ),,. jri-i tta-d that Bus-inn privateers have been lilting out iu the Gulf for this co.tit. 1 Your e-iugiilar conduct has led ine to suspect ) you may lie one of them, and consequently 1 j cannot consider you as Americans until 1 see 1 onr papers." Capt. Wardlo theu said, j "What aro you blowing about '!

However, you now see my t!ag ; jet out of) lay vessel as soon us you run."

Maize ami Em'l Wilvtrt, Secretaries. The proceedings of last meeting were road, and. on motion, adopted. The committee appointed nt lost meeting to draft resolutions expressive ofthe sense of tho meeting, reported through their chairman as follows : Whereas, It is a lamentable fact that the hard-working und energetic mochanics of the Borough do not receive from their fellow citi zens such encouragement as the combination of their scientific skill nnd practical knowl edge doe?, and at all times ought to merit. A.vo Whereas, It is manifest that the improper and unwarrantable conduct of many of our citizens in withholding their support from their own mechanics, nnd extending their patronage to foreign or city manufac tures, is a practice deeply to be regretted, and ought to cease. Asn Whereas, We earnestly bclievo that a more judicious system ought to, and if looked at in the proper light, would bu adopt ed by every working citizen who desires to seo the prosperity of our beautiful town, therefore lloolce.d, That the practice of our mer chants and others in purchasing und keeping for sale articles of eastern and city niiinufac. ture, when tho same articles nro sold and manufactured as cheap and as substantia), (aud in many instances more so,) by their next door neighbor, is against conscience, sound policy, and is depriving their Allow townsmen i,f tho very means ot their subsist ence. lUsolced, That Ihe Mechanics of Sunbury hold themselves responsible for their skill and knowledge iu all the various brauches of their business, and assuru the public that no pains shall be spared to render full nnd complete satisfaction, nud believe that they are fully competent to furnish articles of their own ! manufacture at as low prices, uud in as neat I und substantial manner as cun be procured I elsewhere. slips L Btsolred, That the course of many of our citizens iu going abroad to purchaso wares for their own use, is entirely unwarranted, the fact that they take their money out of their own town, und spend it amongst wealthy city stwpitalists, instead of encouraging their own homo industry" is unjustifiable, and thu fact that they pay the cash to those persons with v. honi they deal from home, whilst they often ask a long credit from their poor neighbors, is without excuse, and is u cause of just nud proper complaint. Bnsolced, That wo earnestly appeal to tho conscience of every honest ond patriotic citi zen of the Borough and vicinity for th truth ofthe above facts, and ask them in th iiamo of justice to consider the premises, and to cordially unito with us in carrying out iv. erv possible measure that may further ittth uud all of our interests which uro so ictiuititv ly blended together. Jit ola d. That we the Mechanics of Bun bury believe there is policy iu doing and per forming our w ork ut tho lowest possible rati, Hesulred, That those persons who are pla ced iu public trusts, ought always to purcha.- their articles of use from, and get their woik done by the Mechanics in the community r.u w hom depended their success, GEO.
