The negotiations between the Western Powers and Austria aro unchanged, and the relations between Prussia and Austria are more intimate Russia notifies the German State Govern tnonts that the Czar will only hold to the first two guaranties, on condition that Germany remains perfectly neutral. France and England have presented an ultimatum to Sweden, which Sweden, seems inclined to reject. The night combat of the 24th April, be tween tho Russians and tho French, was a most desperate affair. The Russians at tempted to dig new rifle pits, and after a sanguinary conflict, the French partially pre Tented them. Two hundred French were reported as hort tin combat.

Canrobert has reviewed tho entire French army, and assured them that they should soon enter Sevastopol, either by the ! door or window. Fifteen thousand Turks, French and Eng lish, had been hastily embarked on board of all the available ships near Sebastopol for the expedition in the direction of the Sea of Aioff. The expedition returned again iu a day or two and were as hastily disembarked. Gortschakoff telegraps under date of the 8th inst , thnt the Allies were, on that and the previous day, occupied in augmenting the batteries and reinforcing the approaches against the central bastion. The French Government, it is understood, have received despatches announcing the full of heavy rains, which had filled the trenches with water suspending operations. Lord Raglan's despatch of the same day says that tho Russians have constructed new batteries to the left of the Mamelon tower, and there w every appearance of the estab lishment of a very large camp on the plateau above the Bclbck on tho north side. The Russians made a sortio on tho night of the 11th, on the advanced works of the left. The attack was immediately repulsed with considerable loss. A short truce was granted on tho evening of the 10th, to allow the Russians to bury their dead, in front of the Allies advances. Count Coronine. the Anstrian Commander-in-chief has proclaimed martial law in the Principalities. By a now manifesto tho Crar orders another levy of twelve men for every thou sand in the seventeen western provinces, to be completed by the end of July. The indications of a more intimate relation ship between Austria and Prussia are appa rent, and an armed neutrality is becoming more and more probablo. An important conference between tho two powers has been held. Sweden is said to have ordered an immedi ate enrolmeut of its militia. The French Baltic fleet arrived out, and the allied fleets were pushing forward. WEST FOIST ACADEMY. The annual examination at West Point commenced last Friday and will last twenty days. In relation to the graduating class the New York Post says : Tho class started four years ago with over fifty members, but the rigors of military ed ucation have diminished the number to thirty-four. The cause of this reduction in number, which is a usual thing with the classes, is the list of demerits. The main purpose of the Academy being perfection in discipline, the code of conduct is not like the usually obso lete by-laws of ordinary colleges. Tlio least infraction is observed and charged on tho conduct roll even such offences as leaving tho washbowl in the bed room, right Bight up or with water in it, or swinging the arms when inarching to the mess-room. This apartment, by tho way, is a large, handsome, though pluin hall, capablo ofaecommodating four hundred persons ut a sitting. Tho seats are immovable iron stools, so hard bottomed as not to encourage a lonr indulgence in the pleasures of the table. Most of the timo the cadets are not allow, ed to pass from one room to the other, for any purpose, and if the cadet on guard in each entry, who marches back and forward with his gun to his shoulder, permits such conduct, he is himself visited with six demerit marks ; and, according to the rule, any cadet who shall at tho examination in June and January, have en amount of demerit exceed ing one hundred for tho previous six months, such cadot is declared deficient ia conduct, and recommended by the Academic Board to tho War Department for discharge. This discovery of deficiency is what the cadets facetiously term finding, and a dis charged cadet is generally spoken of by his brethern as found. The nso of wine, alo or liquor is prohibited ntterlv, and by an ar rangemeut with the hotel-keepers, tho Maine law is pretty thoroughly carried out on the lands of the general government. The code or discipline is embraced in a volume of two or three hundred duodecimo pages, and the listo. punishable offences is so large that it is impossible even for tho most exemplary to scape some marks of demerit.

The Paris Exhibition opened on Tuesday, and altho' inferior as a spectacle, according to the accounts, to the great London Exhi bition of 1851, and deficient inthe attractions of the Sydenham Palace, it was nevertheless, an imposing affair, to which every imagina ble eclnt was given by the presence of the Emperor and Empress, the great officers of Mate, ana the various ambassadors at me Court of the Tuileries. the clergy of every denomination, and the life of tho French me tropolis. The attendance nt the opening did not exceed 10,000, and there were present several or tlio English celebrities who made tne liyde 1 ark speculation tamous. It is perfectly evident thnt the war has Sadly interfered with the progress and com pletion or tne i'alaia do I Indues trie, tor it is even now in an unfinished state and already one postponement has taken place. The Emperor has been too dearly obsorbed in the prosecution of the war to devote his time to tho supervision of an undertaking which, un der more favorable circumstances, would have engrossed all his care. Vpon Prince Napo lc n tho burthen of the aflair has rested, and the proceedines on the opehine day were somewhat tediously protracted by a long ad dress which he read to the Emperor, setting forth the course which he and the commis sion, of which he is tho head, pursued under the circumstance in which they fouud them selves placed. Tho Emperor's reply to this effusion was brief purposely so but the few sentences in it are like all that the Em peror utters or writes, terse and to the pur pose. Exception may, perhaps, be taken to the final passage, notwith regard to the ir if of the expressions, but to the peculiar time at which they were uttered.

Among the Americans who attended th late ball given at the Hotel de Ville, Paris, was Jack Spicer. of Kentncky.

J Tho late rain, which appears to have ex tended over a vast portion of country, has gladdened the heart of many, who feared the worst in regard to our present crops. . In its results, it is far more important than all the political movements that have been agituted tho past five years. The rain was most opportune, as vegeta tion was already suffering in many sections. Its value to tho country has been estimated at One Hundred Million of dollars. II ad there been a failure of the yops this seuson, famine would have becu almost an inevitable consequence. Yet how few have given it oven a serious thought. Tho Virginia election has ocen the cause of great rejoicing in this city, and other pla ces, by the old line partizans. The election of Wise as Governor by so large a majority, was, perhaps, unexpected by liis friends and opponents. Some of the leading whig papers deny that it is a party triumph. Mr. Wise held an isolated und an independent position. He was a bittor opponent and revilerof Gen. Jackson, and was tho author of the famous toast, "The Union of the whigs for the sake of the Union." A Washington letter writer says in less than six months he will be de nounced by hair the, party presses as a rene gade and traitor to the democracy, and will bo defended by the other hair on the ground that he never was a democrat. The truth is there have been no purely party victories, the past year. It has been by a fusion of antag onistic interests. It is, however, a creditable fuct, -that the democratic party, is tho only formidable party organization thnt now ex. ists. The enforcement of the laws, prohibiting the sale of liquors, in tho different stales, is likely to bo attended with serious results. The late disturbances and riots at Portland, in Maine, where tho first prohibitory law originated, show how difficult it is to enforce a law which abridges our personal privileges, and is opposed by a large portion of the people. Laws that cannot bo executed should never be enacted, as they have a ten dency to weaken the force and effect of such laws as are necessary for the welfare of our institutions. Tho Sunday liquor law, is no doubt a most judicious oue. and has tho sanc tion of respectuble liquor dealers themselves. Yet it is a fuct that most of the hotels have a private room for the dispensation of the ardent, and the thirsty are uut long iu finding out where something can be had. Its effects, however, on the lower and industrial classes, cannot be denied. The proprietor of one manufacturing establishment in this city which employs severul hundred hands, says that on Monday it was not uncommon to find at least thirty men ubsent, unable to work, on account of dissipation on Sunday. Now, he says, the absentees ore uot tnoro than four or five. ( A I.akuk Tuain.

A Liquor Piot The Military Called Out The Mub Fired On One Man Killed Several Others Wounded. Portland, June 3. At 10 o'clock last night a noisy mob assembled about the build ing used as the city liquor agency, and at tempted to break in, for tho purposo of de stroying the liquor stored there. Tho police attempted to preserve the peace, but the mob becoming more threatening, two military companies were called out to enforce order. These precautions, it was hoped, would deter the mob, but. ut a later hour they broke into the building, when the military drawn up op posite fired a volley, killing 'Ephraiin Rob bins, of Eastpcrt, and wounding several oth ers, some severely. Asquudofthe Rifle Guard followed up the volley, bjr a charge upon the mob witli bayonets, which caused a rnpid dispersion.

Salt Lai City, March 23, 185S ' Srrtoiis Collision with ths Armt Offi cers. Justice in Utah Mob Law Trium phant. Some disgraceful scenes appear to have been transacted lately In Utah. Since Uol. bteptoe has been nominated as Hover nor, th tJeseret News, Brlgham Young's orirun. has been tceininir with panegyrics on the "gallant Colonel," and Orson Hyde, the chief of the Twelve Apostles, has declared to the universal world thnt "Col. Steptoe 18 a gentleman." Those who were not previously aware of the fact now know it for a certainty, for it is endorsed by the venerable apostle. But while the most fulaomo praises of the Colonel have been circulated by the columns of the church paper, merely to deceive per sons at a distance, the officers and men of the Colonel's command have, on several oc casions, been publicly blackguarded and in sulted in open day. As a sample, a party of officers or the army were lately ruling oui with some ladies, in Salt Lake City, when they were set open by a mob of Mormons, among whom were the sons of Brighain Young, and Heber C. Kimball. Presidents or the church, and two others, Huntingdon and Moore. These men rode by the party nt full speed, wnving their hats and shouting the most op probrious epithets and vulgaroathsin hearing of the ladies, and endeavored to frighten their horses. One of the ladies, the daughter of the Hon. Judge Kinney, Chief Justice or Utah, was only saved from being thrown from her horse and injured by the coolness of one gentleman, who seized the bridle and with difficulty riistraineo her hor-e. As the officers wished to proceed lawfully, instead of putting a few bullets through the chief actors in this disgraceful afi'uir the case was represented to tne Mayor, Jedediah M. Grant. A mock trial was gone through ; and though the conduct of the mob was in direct violation of the city ordinances, it was discovered that the individuals stood too high in the church to be punished ; the case was dismissed and the costs of tho court, amount ing to an almost fabulous sum, were thrown upon the plaintiffs. During the trial, the la dies, who wero present ns witnesses, were grossly insulted by a low fellow, a witness for the defence. The greatest excitement pre vailed during the trial nearly two hundred armed Mormons being collected in and about the Muyoi's office. A very destructive Fire occurred in New York city on Wednesday night, destroying the largi printing office of John F. Trow, Nos. 4'J, 51, und 53 Ann street, proprietor und publisher of the city Directory. The volume for this year was to have been pub lished next week, and a large number of com positors, who were at work on it, escaped with much difficulty. The fire caught from the gas burners. "Mr. Trow saved all his Adams presses uninjured, and his bonks and papers were locked up in a safe, which is also supposed to he uninjured, but he lost two job cylinder, three hand, und two hydraulic presses. His loss in stock is estimated at 840.000, though it is not yet ascertained how much damage is done to the Directory. The duodecimo edition of Irving's Life of Wash ington, about to bo published by Putnam, was destroyed. By this fire Messrs. Put nam & Oo. also lose 12,000 worth of wood cats and 100 reams of printing paper. A Painfci. Sight. To see young men lounging about mouth after month, neither working iit desiring to work ; while, per haps, poor parents aro toiling from morning till night to support them from a disgrace which their own thoughtlessness and laziness is fast bringing upon them. But how nuinv such sights are to be seen in every communi ty ! How many are found who havo nut that sense ir shumu which is necessary to forco them off tho lounger's seat but enough of that false pride which will not allow thorn to take hold of employment if it docs not hap pen to bo ns genteel as they wish ! Alas! the fate of such is seuled ; tbey will go down to the grave unpiticd, unmoiirned, and soon be forgotten by every one. .Yeienric Mercury. Emigrants Retcrxino to Europe. The number of emigrants who havo returned to their homes in tho Old World during the last seven or eight weeks, from tho several ports of the United States, is usually largo, notwithstanding the price of passage in most of the packet ships, particularly at New York, has been iucreused. Tho passage ticket in tho steerage for Liverpool was lormeriy irom six to eight dollars, each per son being required to supply lumseir with provisions, but the price hus been raised this year to eighteen dollars for each person, the passengers being supplied by the owners of the vessel. During the lust two months 1, 574 emigrants, it is said, have sailed from New York, und 500 more will suil iu a few duvs. Land Warrants Under the Act of 1853.

Walker and his men, cleared on Thursday night, at 12 o'clock, for Hcalejo, which is the only port, ou the Pacific sido in tho hands of the Castilon party. The expedition was to have sailed about two weeks ago, but the ves sels was libelled by the parties by whom she had been provisioned. A settlement was however made a few days ago, and the Uni. ted States Marshal released the vessel. The. libel was 81500, and the parties who cotitrac teo to lurnisn tne vessel with supplies for the voyage first agreed to accept Nicaragua stock in payment of their goods, but afterwards changed their minds, and legal proceedings were therefore commenced. Hie vessel was aftorward attached by the Sheriff for some other liubility, and a Deputy-Sheriff was pla- ceo on noara. On luursday night tho ShenfTs denutt was pacing the deck, when Col. Walker came up, and requested him to come down to his cabin, in order that he might show him some rapers which he had in bis possession. The )eputy Sheriff, in the innocence of his heart. went below, when Colonel Walker produced a large bnndio or papers, done up in red tapo, and immediately both he and tbe Deputy Sheriff, commenced to examine their con tents. Whilo so engaged tho Deputy Slier iff thought ho perceived a motion quite unu- snal in snips at anchor, and started to go on deck, but his impetuosity was checked in the kindest and blandest manner, by four or five of the expeditionists, w ho, armed to the teeth suddenly mado their appearance. 1 hey in formed the astonished Deputy Kheritt that the ship was under wciVh that, nndcr the circumstances, there was no use in taking tho matter to heart, and concluded by bringing forth a basket of champairno rrom the locker, advising the Deputy Sheriff to drown care in a flowing bumper. After the vessels had got outside tho Heads, the ieputy bhoriir was placed on board the steam-tug, and tho ship stood out to sea. The expeditionists, num bering fifty-six, all told, were armed to the teeth, each man having been provided with two six-shooters, a bowio knilo and a .Missis. sippi rifle, which are considered to bo the best tools for the developement of the agri cultural resources of the Republic of Nicara gua. The Walker expedition will, it is sup posed, be joined by a portion of tho Kinney expedition, who are to sail from New Orleans, via the San Juan River, and effect a junction with their brothers-iu-arms from the Pacific side. If the expedition from the Atlantic side be us well equipped as that which Bailed rrom this port on I hursday night, tho L iia morro partv in Nicaragua will have a rather hard time or it in maintaining tuiur ascenuun cv. Excitincr news may hereafter bo cxpec ted from Central America. .Van I rancisco Herald. More Paupers Arrived A'ew Port, June 3. The ship Leopold I, Capt.

The Police Court of Boston, on Friday, decided that shaving on Sunday is a work of necessity, as much so as preaching a sermon, and no more of an offence against tho Sunday law.

S. postago of ten or twenty cents, according to distance. Otherwise they cannot be forwarded to their destination. Tn Kinnf.y Expedition. Tho Kinney Expedition is now generally looked upon as an eutiru failure, there being no possible chance of it getting off, aud if there was, a want of sufficient means to carry it on, would put a veto upon its sailing. Several of the men who enrol'd in the expedition have left it ia disgust, losing every dollar they invested Hi. Connecticut.

Disgraceful Brutality in Columbus. Ohio. On Thursday evening, at Columbus, Ohio, as a procession of German Turners was returning from tbe country, where they had been celebrating the day, those composing it were violently uttacked by a gang of rowdies, and six ot them badly heateu.

It had on it three mottues m German, which the assailants pre sumed were onensive, because tney wire too ignorant to understand what they meant. One was "Fresh, pious, joyous, free;" and the socond, "Through Exercise to Strength" "Bahnfreit," five scope, without restruiut. The last, "Through Iuvestigatiou to Complete jvuowieuge.
