Mr. ] .a w ranee, of Cobb, the Chairman of tho Se lect Committee on tho Augusta Bridge matter, pn tiled the following KKPORT: The Select Committee to whom was referred tho Memorial of the City of Augusta, in relation to tho Bridge across the Savannah Kiver at Augusta, have lull the sumo under consideration, and submit the following Beport : It is undeniable, that until the year lS4B,tho City Council ot August owned tlio Bridge at said i it\ and the land on .-olli sides of the Savannah K ur, constituting the abutments, with the right to folio't toll, under grants from the State of Geor gia and South Carolina, and which had been sns tamed by the Appellate Courts ot South Carolina ■md the United States. Tho same rights st :, l eCst in Georgia, and the City Council suit own in tee the abutment in South Carolina, heldirg the same under a conveyance made by autnorty of the said State on the fill December, ISSO. In December 1 -the Charter for the Bridge granted by booth Carolina having expired, the Legislature of that State re chartered tho Bridge, and vested it in shnltz ,v MoKinne, with the proviso that they should not be allowed to collect toll until the liti gation then pending in tlio Supreme Court of the United states ill relation ’ i said Bridge, should be deterinitied against the City Council of Augusta. (That litigation was determined in favor of the cay Council.l in December, 1*49, the Legislature amended the sai t Irani to Shut”. Or McKmne, by •inthorising them to collect toil, provided the co - leeting of said toll should not subject the South Carolina Kailread Company, or the community, to the ( avmeut of double toll. Tl e Court of Km of said State subsequently, in a. i-e in tween the South Carolina Kailroad. and Jones A Kennedy, the Assignees of Shultz &■ Me- Kinnc. decided that toll could not be collected mid -r the amended grant. - thi matter remained so far as effective action by the Legislature was conrernod.) until Dceem- B< . wM. ii the Legislature of South Carolina again amended the grant by authorisin' Jones ,v K. ■ • u tv to eotlect toll, provided, however, tha. noi . • g therein contained should m any wise im p:er or prejud. c any right or property claimed by the tdty l cuucil of Augusta, in respect to the ono liali of the material structure of said Bridge within Hit territorial limits of said State. This proviso admit ' that Augusta owns the structure, and the deed from South Carolina's agent conveys land on the South Carolina hank of tho Kiver t> f* umJ, a«W atsl e*kpeJ, soUly and i exclusively .for figperpuwof the Bridge abutment and a Lighway, together with all and singular the rights, members, hereditaments and appurten ances, &c., “to have and to hold lorevcr,” Kith full ousnant* of Uktrrrtnlf. Now w.tliout stopping to consider tho claim of jnrisdiotion, set up by South Carolina to one-ha l -' ot tho Kiver, ou denying the alleged sovereign au thority in the premise-, (which matters are to be determined horeatter between the two States,) tlio question naturally presents itsc!f—is it right and just, or in any wise consistent . th the honor of that State, to lugialato to the injr-y of tho ov..ic. > of a property, part coincided by iier to be theirs, and part actually paid for to her f No one iu that honored State, ft is believed, will answer in ” o affirmative. Wby theu was it done i The Committee believe that the grant last made, was given without the attention of the members of the Legislature being drawn to the true state of the right * of Angus'— perhaps at the clo«eof the session, and iu the basts which often precedes rn adjournment—anil do not doubt that upon application being made, they wi” rescind the action of the last session. In this view, your Committee recommend tho adoption of the following resolution : Keeohrd hj the Senate and 11-Aue of Represent*- time od the State of Georgia: That lie Legis'ature of the State of South Carolina be, and they are here by resjiectfully requested, to consider the claims which the city of Augusta hu« to the Bridge across the Savannah river and its appuitecanccs within the limits of that State, and to repeal or have re scinded the grant to Jones & Kennedy, made at the last session. Reunited, That his Excellency the Governor be requested to forward a copy ol the foregoing Rc port and of these Resolutions, to the Governor of South Carolina, to tus laid before the Legislature ot that State. Alter Hie reading of this Report, the Senate ad journed tili J o’clock. The Senate met again at 7 o’clock. A bill to incorporate the Lumpkin County and Forsyth Hailroad, was read and passed. The bill to create a new county from Muscogee, Stewart and Marion, was then taken up, and quite an interesting little fight took place over it. Col. May, of Stewart, oppos.d the bill, and moved to strike outall that part of his county proposed to bo taken from it. Dr. McGehee was opposed, generally, to the for mation of new counties. Mr. Mosoly, of Spalding, advocated this bill, and replied to the objections of Dr. McGehee. Mr. Dixon, the able Senator from Talbot, ad vocated the passage of the bill. Col. May’s motion was put to the Senate, and carried by 11 majority. A motion was then made to strike out the name of the county, “ Chattahoochee,” and insert “ Echols,” which was carried. On the passage of the bill tho yeas were 20, the nays 44. So tho bill was lost. After which the Senate adjourned till to-morrow morning. HOUSE. In tho House of Representatives, this morning, tho bill introduced into the Senate, by Mr. Miller, of Richmond, to provide for the reduction of the per diem members of the Legislature, after the first fifty days, fifty per centum, was taken up, und after some little discussion, was lost. The bill to regulate tho equitable remedy of “ specific performance," was passed. The bill to incorporate tho Columbus and Ham ilton Railroad Company, was passed. The bill to authorise the Teachers of poor chil dren in Warren county, to furnish thoso unable to purchaso them, with such books and stationary as may be nocessury, was taken up and passed.

A bill (in substitute) for the bill of tho House providing for tho Public Printing for 1854 and’ss. This bill does not give the printing to tho lowest bidder, nor compel it to be done at Millodgevil'o. Indeed, it is only a slight modification of the o'd law. Tho bill as amended, or rather the substi tute, passed by 52 to 23. A bill to furnish the now counties with a stand ard of Weights uml Measures.

It is also said that ngont'o man, who has been for many years a faithful county officer, was destroyed with tho Court House; and it is supposed that 'ho sot tiro to tho Ibuildiug for this put rose. This ovent is peculiarly unfor tunate for Wilkinson county, as sho had but ic eontly gone to tho heavy expense of rebuilding her Court House, and if it is possible for the Legisla ture to grant aid iu suoh cases, there can bo none more fit than this. IN SENATE. Bills rusted. —A bill to amend tlio Chartor of tlio Coosa rid Chattooga Kiver Kailroad Company.

In consequence of protracted discussions in both bn -idles of the General Assembly, I have but a mer qro report to make this inorn’ng. The disoas | ®‘ on in the House wss on the bill for thoconsoiida t o \of the Centra! and M& on and Western Rail ' ’ "s'hieL hr~ been before that body ever since r v torday aft it noon. The di eussion th’s morn ing, between Messrs.

Tho amendment w: a li t—yeas 40, nays 52. The discussion in tho Senate was on the bill for the removal of the Capitol' v Mi -on, which w- •• the order of tlio day. Considerable time w: spent in a debate upon a motion to go intv eotmriiu*• of the whole, which was finally a riod by a vote o,' 47 t > 31. Mr. MoGehoe was called to the chair to preside over the < aumittes, and a,ier a deba’i of much in' rest, coii« : derab!o excitement, ami very life order, which occupied the whole morjfng, > the committee, on motion of Gen. Cone, rose, re ported progress, and asked leave to set again. Bo tl.e excitement is far from being at an on 4 yet. The , gentlemen who participated in the debate before . the committee of the whole, spoke, on a motion or , Mr.Cocbrine, of Wilkinson, toetrikeout “Macon , from the bill ot the House for the purpose of in serting“Gordon,”andare Messrs. Cochran, brown, of Baldwin, Dunnxgan, Thomas, Williamson, Mil ' ier, Dean and Moseley. It is worthy of remark that of ail these gentlemen, only one, Mr. Moseley, took a firm and bold stand forremoval. Os course ’ it was net to be expected, that be would please large and respectable audiences in the lobby and gallery, but he spoke with u boldness which ] quailed before no opposition; and being hissed ! from the outsiders, he remarked that ho knew of but two things that hiss, one of those was a ser pent, from its venom, the other a gcosc, from its folly. This remark had the desired effect, and saved the necessity of a command to “order” from the etiair. Mr. Cochrsn and Gen. Williamson had the good fortune to receive smiles and bouquets from the galleries. The latter gentiemau received a perfect shower of them, and even a not*, which made him proud, as tiie gentleman from Spalding said, that, like the Indian’s tree, he stood up so straight that he leaned backwards. I should do him great injustice, if I did not make particular mention of the speech of Mr. Brown of this place. This gentleman has not before entertained the Senate this session, but it was doubtless from his extreme modesty, which, he has proven by his ef fort to-day, is commensurate only with hia talent. I hope to have the pleasure of hearing him again. It would be too great a tax on your columns or 1 would give you a synopsis of the whole debate, which to the public, would be well worth the read ing. The bill will hardly pass. SENATE. Rills Passed. —A bill for the protection of Les sees by exempting land from sale in certain cases. A bill to extend the Zebulon Branch Railroad through Greenville, Corinth, und Franklin to the Alabama line to connect with the Oxford Railroad in that State. To this bill Gen. Knight attached an amendment, amendatory of the Charter of the Brunswick and Florida Railroad, so as to allow that road by a vote of its stockholders to connect their road with any other Railroad Company run ning a rood through the Southern part of Georgia, so as to form but one company of tho two, provi ded ttic other company by a vote of its stockhold ers agree to the anion. The amendment was adopted, as was also an amoudment to charter a Railroad fromCiarkesville to the Copper Minos in Polk co., Tennessee. A bill to incorporate tho Mountain Hangers in Gordon county. A bill to repeal tho act requiring two panels of Jurors to be drawn. A bill to allow all persons in receipt of Medical Diplomas to practice Medicine, provided the diplo mas were conferred in the United States. BOUSE. A bill to repeal the act prohibiting tho introduc tion of slaves into the State, was lost. A bill to allow the extsr ion of the Montgomoiy Railroad across the Chattahoochee River at Co lumbus, was so amended cs to incorporate a com pany from Athens, through Clarksville and the Hightower Valley to the copper mines in Tennes see, and passed. , The bill for the consolidation of the Central and Macon & Western Railroads then came up, and has not yet been disposed of. A mossage was received in both Houses from the Govornor, in relation to the disturbances on tho State Road in Tennessee, which has been re ferred to appropriate committees. fntho Sonate Dr. Homes moved to reconsider the bill lost on yesterday to form a now county out of Randolph and Early, which was carried—yeas 46, nays 27. Tho bill was thon taken up and pass ed, and, with the Governor’s approval, we will have in Georgia the county of Clay—a just, but in comparison to his merits, a small compliment to so great a man. Milledi.evit.le, Feb. 11, 1854. Since my last letter, two important measures— one for the consolidation of the Central and Macon and Western Railroads, and the other for the re movulofthe Capitol—have been dispc ed of in the House ; the first bill passed without amend ment by a vote of 52 to 32. The b’U for tho re moval of the Capitol wus so amended as to leave it to the people at the next general election, to say ou their ballots “removal” or “no removal,’’ and if “removal,” say to what place ; and it will bo left to the next General Assembly, to removo and lo cato if thoy see fit. So the bill in its present shape will place tic next Legislature in tho same con dition witli the present, oxcopting, that they will have an expression of the popular will, wh’ch will ho regarded »s instructive rather than compulsory. Tho bill as amended, passed by yeas 69, nays 11. IN SENATE. Rills Passed. —A bill to provido for the removal of tho seat of Government. A bill to regulate proceedings in or sos of lias- ■ tardy.

A large body of ieo was damned up in the river St. Lawrence, in the neighborhood of the St. Kegis Indians. Whon it gavo way, it forced over the banks, cat ry iug destruction with it into tho doom ed village, sweeping timber, rocks, houses, and everything olse before it. The result was, that, at midnight, tlio Indians were drivon out of their dwellings, and their cattio and provisions destroy ed. Many, with the tomperatnre at 80 degrees be low zero, had to swim for thoir lives. Tho Ameri can Indians, ns soon as the calamity was known, wont to tho aid of their brethren, and gavo them sholtor. Gen. Houston, in his lecture at Providonco, on Tnosday, evening, said—“ From early boyhood I have lived on the borders of civilization, and liavo soon much of Indian life and character; and never knew an Indinn treaty violatod but what, whon silted to its bottom, it was found that its first vio lators wore the white men.” Throe years ugo tlio Legislature ot North Car olina mado a small appropriation for a geological survoy of that State. Tho discoveries of tho first yoar dovolopod tho oxistouce of copper and gold ores, drew to them tlio attention of capitalists, and have already increased the revenues of tho Stato to five times tho cost of the wholo survey. In tho second yoar, seams of the purest bituminous coal, some of them fifteen foot in thickness, extending through a region of some forty-fivo square miles, rewarded their investigations.

It is now quite evident that the North is tired of agitation, and that nothing of this kind is likely to follow the passage of the Territorial bill now be fore the Senate, (except the Abolitionists and Freesoilers proper,) which still continues to be the absorbing topic of discussion in that body, and of conversation out of it, although there is no room to doubt the pas.-age ot the bill through both branches of Congress by large majorities. Some amend ments, submitted by the Committee on Indian Affairs, remove objections that were with two or three Senators considered serious, if not insupera ble, and will probably add to the majority on its final passage. The National Democrats of New York, have ta ken ground in its favor, while the “Softs” are ap parently divided on the question,—John Van Bo ren and a minority of the General Committee of Tamany Half, going against the measure, while the rest give it a reluctant and half-way support; being evidently hostile to it, hut restrained from mani festing their hostility by the fear of losing the fa vor of the Administration, and tho large share of the spoils which has been awarded them in order to keep them quiet and harmonious. * The bill is still undergoing discussion in the Senate. Since my last, Mr. Wade, Mr. Everett and Mr. Smith, have spoken in opposition, and Mr. Dixon and Gov. Jones in favor of it. Mr. Everett’s (Treat reputation and ability attract ed a very crowded bouse, notwithstanding the day ♦as extremely disagreeable; and it is high praise to say that his efforts did not fall in the least be low the level of his fame. Though constrained to oppose the bill in accordance with the universal B entiment of his own section of the country, yet he did so with no heat or violence of manner or language, and with entire respect for tliase who gave it their support ; yielding to them and to the South generally the same honesty and sincerity of motive which he claimed for himself, and accord ing to them attributes of character as lofty and as pure as are possessed by any people in the world. He took ground against no principle in the bill, but did not conceive the Missouri Compromise to be inconsistent with the Compromise of 1850, which ho declared his purpose to adhero to, and abide by honestly and faithfully to the last; nor did he think it was the intention of the authors op those acts, to legislate for any territory but that which was spoken of in the bills, nor to give those acts a wider scope than that which was specified. Ho did not see the necessity of establishing two territorial governments in a country where thjre were not probably 200 voters. His remarks were throughout, temperato, con ciliatory and impressive, and commanded, aB they were entitled to, the most respectful attention from a full Senate, and a densely crowded gallery. In deed, such was the desire to hear him on the part of Members of the House, that a majority of that body appeared to be present, occupying the sofas, and the Spoakcr found it impossible to retain a quorum in the Hall. The bill is likely to be very thoroughly dis cussed, and while there .is no disposition to pre vent the fullest debate upon it by its opponents, it is the intention of its friends not to allow any un necessary delay in passing it through the Senate. Gen. Houston intimatod his intention some days ago, to present to the Sonatc the reasons which would induce him to give his vote against it. As far as I am informed, ho is tho only Senator from the South who will oppose the bill. An attempt will undoubtedly bo made after the passage of the measure, to get up an excitement at the North, but as the abolitionists and froesoil ers will take the lead In it, few comparatively,’will be disposed to becomo identified with it, and it will, therefore, in all probability, prove a failure. Mr. W ilmot, famous for having given his name to the W ilmot, who has for a few years past been cov ered with tho shade of obscurity, has come forth from his retreat and mado a speech against tho bill. This of itself, will deter some, if they wore dis posed to agitate upon the subject, from doing so. Tho efi'oet at the North wi" bo to separate parties heretofore acting together; for instance, a portion of tho Democratic party will follow Van Burcn, and a portion of tho Whig party will continuo to follow tho lead of Mr. Seward, both these sections agreeing in their opposition, and probably uniting their future destinies, while the national Demo crats and a portion of the Whigs will either take active ground in favor of it, or “acquiesce” in the decision of Congress, for tho sako of peace and harmony. There Is a pretty general scramble for the public lauds, for purposes of internal improvements, from tho now Stat ;s, and there is little doubt but they will bo granted by million* of acros. Tho old States, by whose blood and treasure they wore chiefly obtained, arc destined to see them parcelled off by the new States, with little hopo of obtaining an acre of them for themselves. Mr. Dawson and Mr. Butler earnestly and ably resisted this policy somo days ago in the Senate, when bills earao up granting alternate sections to various railroads, to the amount of a million of acres. Mr. Churchwoll, of Tenn., has, however, intro duced a bill into tho House having for its object tho distribution of a million of acres of the public domain to the different States for the support of schools. If some measure or measures of this kind are not adopted, the old States may as well execute a quiet claim at once, to all right, title, and interest they may have in this groat public fund, for it will avail them nothing. The policy of giving away alternate sections of the public lands over which the proposed road was to pass, was adopted upon tho supposition that the lands remaining undisposed of would be enhanced in value so much by tho construction of the road thus uided, as to make thorn worth as much to the government as the whole would bringon salo with out such improvement, and perhaps much more. It was upon this ground that Mr. Calhoun voted to give alternate sections lying within a very short distanco on each side of the road; but, “ largo trees from little acornßgrow,” and the demand now is for alternate sections on each side of tho propo-cd road within fifteen miles thereof.

Advocate gives the following account of a homicide at that place on the 80th ult: When we penned the article in onr first column, late on yesterday evening (51st) we little thought that our first duty this morning would be to chron icle the death of John N.Miiwee. He was killed by a pistol in the hands of George Camp, a youth raised in this town, and now near the estate of manhood. Mr. Mb wee was from Cass county, Ga., and had just come out here to seethe effects of his brother, a dagnerreotyoist, who died he.e some two months ago. Yonng Camp for some time has been laboring under some peculiar idiosyncracy of mind, involving strong muscular action, nervous trembling, shivering, rigidity of limbs, closing of the eyes,"indistinct utterance, all supervening at once. These spells would last for horns, and no efforts could seemingly arouse him to entire con scioosness. Frequently during these hallucina tions he would be teased by the curious and mis chievous, until his destructiveness was fully exci ted, when he would try to get hold of his pistol, and in the absence of that, any missile placed ; 1 his hands he would endeavor to use as a pistol. These spells have recently come on about bedtime, and lasted all night. On the evening of the unfortunate occurrence he was right in his mind, and was rsked by Mil woe, with several others, some of them small bovs, to partake of a game of cards at the Hernando Ho tel, where the whole pai ty boarded. Af.er playing a couple of hours and drinking up a bottle es whiskey, all hands being mellowed, the party com menced fixing for sleep, when it was discovered that Camp was in one of '.nose paroxysms. Es was conducted to the bed and laid down. One of the party, knowing that he had a pistol, endc '.vc-r® edto get it away, but failed is the effort, Camp proving an overmatch in strength for him. Mil wee observed then that he was afraid to sleep in the room with him, unless his pistol could be taken away, and remarked, farther, that he would get it from him, at the same time throwing himself upon the bed with Camp, for the purpose of finding the weapon, which wr s said by one witness to have been under Camp's pillow. A moment hardly en sued before the pistol fired, and Milwee rolled out of the bed, saying that he was shot, and must die, which he did in about five minutes. The committing court before which Camp was tried rendered a judgmnt of manslaughter, and bound him over lor his appearance at the Circuit Court in a bond of #6,000. He is now in jail, fail ing to give bond. The Hudson Kiver is frozen down to Dobb’s Ferry. At Tsrrytown teams cross the Kiver on the ioe, BY TUB PACIFIC.

The answer of the ultimatum ot the four powers had not beau received from the Czar. The delay on the part of Russia to reply to the proposition of the Powers was interpreted at the Paris Bourse in a sense favorable to peace. The Cassel Gazette announce* that the Emperor of Russia bad demanded 25,000,000 from the War saw Bank tor the eventualities of the war. Vienna, Jan. 28, Evening. The Pasha of Belgrade insists on the immediate dismissal of all Russians from Servia, and vows that if M. Moukbiue, the Russian Consul-General, crosses the river from £ .mlin again, he will arrest him. We subjoin farther intelligence: Correspondents of Commercial Advertiser. London, Jan. 24. Although the formal answer to the proposition of the allied powers has not yet been received, a no tification of what will be its general purport is re - ported to have been communicated from St. Peters burgh to the Austrian Government at Vienna, whence the rumor reached London on the 21st in siant. The terms proposed by England, France, Austria and Prussia are, according to this report, rejected; and an announcement is given that while his Imperial Majesty will deal with Turkey alone, he will not receive any propositions even from her unless they are based upon the full un derstanding that all the original demands of Prince Menschikoff are to be unconditionally ac ceded to. In that case, if Turkoy likes to appoint a Plenipotentiary to treat, she can send him to the camp of Prince Gortschakoff, who is empowered to do everything that may be requisite. Immediately upon the arrival of this report ev ery one who believed it considered the uncertain ty of the last twelve months to have boen brought to a close, and that all the energies ot the country must now lie directed to confine the royal anar chist within his own dominions, as speedilyand at as little cost of blot 1 and treasure as possible. Yet although the serious nature of the task was fully estimated, no confusion or alarm was man ifested by the public, or in the stock market, and the prices of the funds scarcely tell below the point to which they receded fonr months ago, whon probabilities es a collision were first generally en tertained. The reason was that during the inter vening period there has been timo for a calm re view of all the resources of this country on the one hand, and of the pretensions of Rnßsia on the other. Within that period also the moral convic tions of the people have had time to grow, and the faith which has of late years been rapidly sti mulated by an increased knowledge of the natural laws by which Providenoe governs tho world, con sequently has had a large share in inspiring the confidence that prevails. The pnblie are prepared for many reverses, or rather to undergo the school ing of useful disasters, but conscious that they have been challenged to the duty, they are not disposed to enter upon the struggle with any fool ing of dismay. As regards any fresh actual occurrences there is not much to recount by the present steamer. The full details of the battle oiCitale are still wanting, but there is no question of its disastrous results to the Russians. Since that event Prince Gortscha koff has apparently been waiting for reinforce ments in order to commence the movements upon the Turkish position of Kalafat, which, ac cording to the Emperor’s orders, ought to have been stormed on new year’s day. Other portions of the Russian forces are engaged in crossing the Danube at various points, with the view probably oi perplexing their opponents as to the ultimate point intended for a grand attack. Thus far, how ever, nothing has occurred to show that Omar Pa sha is not fully prepared, or that a third defeat is not in store for them. The movement of the combined fleets in the Black Sea will henceforth form the chief subject of interest on this side. The vessels that were sent to Sebastopol, to notify the Governor that it was advisable for him to keep all Russian ships at home, have rejoined the main sqnadron, but the nature of the communication that took place has not transpired. At the last accounts the fleets were snilimr with a fair wind and splendid weather for the Turkish port of Batoum, in Asia, between which place ana Constantinople, Sinope lies half way. With the fleet were a number of Turkish vessels with amunition for the army of Asia, but a report that they were conveying stores to the Cir cassian coast, was unfounded. At present, the policy of the allies is to protect Turkey, but not to carry the war into Russian territory. If the latter was resolved upon, a formal declaration would of course be made. Thus far the Czar, in consider ation of the inconvenience of a struggle with him, has been told that if he will abandon his project, ho shall be allowed to escape without further mo lestation. This having failed, every step is to be used to restrain him, and if resistance is still con tinned, notice will then be served upon him that his own territory will be held liable for the conse quences. Under existing circumstances no surprise would bo felt at the momentary arrival of news of a col lision of some kind. Although it win stated, that on the first intimation of theintondr J entry of the fleots, the governor of Sebastopol ordered all the Russian vessels in the Black Sea to collect for safety in that port, it ha 3 been subsequently affirmed that a large squadron of vessels-of-war bavo remained off Batoum, with the viow, it is probable, of intercepting the hading of any supplies, such as are now being conveyed by the allies. Meanwhile the accounts from St. Petersburg!!, as to the manner in wKch the Russian people con template their present prospects, are extremely contradictory. By the last advices, however, they are ropresen.jd as having been considerably tamed by the discovery that the Emperor is to be resisted in earnest, and thatthe measures by which he has so often carried his point are at last to be fairly tested. In the Turkish Cabinet perfect union is now said to pro\ ail, and there isalso a restored feeling of con fidence in tho Buppoit accorded by the allies. To put the Czar in that most' adverse position he could occupy, it appears that the Sultan aocepted the recent propositions of his allies, without any of the modifications he said to have demand ed. Even a renewal of the old treaties was agreed to, and the full enfranchisement of all the Chris tian inhabitant” of the country, under the protec tion of combined Europe,Tiis expressly granted. Under these circumstano®,, even Austria could stipulate for nothing more with the view of serv ing tho Czar, and he conßeque:: tly now stands be fore the world as engaged in a course in which oven Austria deserts hiu. Such is the end of tho champion of order, of tho year of grace, 1848. From other parts of the continent any news that may arrive awakens at present little interest. Spain, however, is again in the disquiet of tho Ministerial crisis and Sardinia, constantly goaded bj the Insults and plots of Austria, finds it neces sary to put herself in a st-'.e of strong dofenco. Consolsat the last date wore quoted at 91%. Up on receipt of the report of the intended reply of Russia they dropped to 91, and yesterday a further fall took place until they touched 90. To-day the downward movement was resumed and they rrce dod to 89% but tho closing price was 89%. The Paris Bourse has shown more agitation than tho English Exchange, the unsatisfactory financial position of theoountry exercising a strong influence in addition to that of the political news. It is a Vienna, however, that the grea' st distrust prevails, and the panic in the Austrian money mar ket is equal to what was exper'enced during the defeats sustained in the Hungi ian war. In the grain market the ex ting state of affairs has of course caused a renewal of excitement, and notwithstanding large recent arrivals of American flour, foreign wheat has been sold at a further ad vance of 1 to 2s. per quarter. The number of ships now loading at the Russian port of Odessa is un precedently large, and freights have fallen at that place 50 per cent. At the same time, owing to the demand for labor in loading bo many vessels, the rate of wages hei advanced to a sum equal to four dollars por day. All articles of Russian produce, such as tallow, hemp, &c., continue to rise, and likewise every thing of an analogous character, such as palm oil, &e. The next steamer from this side will be the Af rica, on the 98th. Our advices from New York are to the 11th of Januaiy. Spectator. On the 12th of January Omar Pasha was at Kal afat, where a high observatory has been erected, that overlooks every movement of tho Russians. On the oth of January, at 11 o’clock in the fore noon, the last of the English and French fleets were out of sight from the farthest point of land, as was also the Turkish convoy, consisting of five frigates and six transports. Advices from Odessa, of the 10th, state that no English or French ships of war had appeared off that port, and all French and English merchantmen were preparing to leave. The Russians had notified that snips of any nation, taken with troops on board, shall do lawful prizes. The report that the Austrian and Prussian Ambas sadors, at Constantinople, had protested against the entry of the fleets into the Black Sea, is incor rect, but these representatives did send to Reschid Pacha a notification that the step taken by France and England went beyond the agreement entered into by the four Powers, on the 12th of December. The allies had been met, January 9th, by the mail steamer from Trebizonde; they were steering, with a fair wind and fine weather, for Batoum, where they would arrive the next day. The great est enthusiasm was manifested in Constantinople when it was known that the fleets hrd actually sailed. It has been already mentioned that in the event of coming into action, Admiral Ilamelin (French) would take command of the allied ships. A rumor prevailedat Constantinople that thefleets, having escoi.ed the Turkish ships to Batoum, would return to the Bosphorus in about a week; but this last seemed unlikely. The orders given to the fleets are to salute the Russian ships, so long as matters remain as they are. Should the Russian naval forces attack any Turkish ship within three and a half miles of the Torkish coast, or any ship belonging to the protecting Powers, then active hostilities will be immediately commenced. The answer given by the Russian admiral to the Captain of the Retribution, who conveyed the mes sage from the English and French admirals to Se bastopol, is said to have been very laconic, name ly : that he had no orders to receive from a French or English Admiral, and that he should leave Se bastopol, or remain in it, accordidg to the orders he received from the Emperor, or his immediate superiors. It appears that the Archduke Constan tine was at Sebastopol at the time, and when he heard of the message delivered by the English captain, flew in a passion, and declared that he would instantly give orders for the fleet to go to sea, let what would happen. It was at first stated that the Russian Admiral had issued orders to all his cruisers to return to Sebastopol, but later commands, said to haveoome direct from the Czar, ordered all the ships to put to sea, and consequently at the last accounts two di visions of the Russian fleets were ernising in the Black Sea, and it is not improbable therefore, that a collision has by this time taken place, as it was considered that the Czar’s policy is to have the al lies commit the firsts** of war by firing the first hostile shot, aud it is therefore expected that some slight rencont a may take place near Batoum, where Russian ships are known to be, and to which plar e the Turkish Convoy is destined. This is the n ; :e conscientiousness the Czar would consider to justify him in formally declaring war against Eng land aud France. that Siliatria had been taken by the Russians is proneunced to be untrue. The des patch containing the intelligence was said to have been sent from Oreovato Semlin, and bore date the 20th ult. It is not thought probable that news could be liad so soon from Orso.-a. At all everts it is positively denied attbe French Foreign Office, as in quarters wh'cT ought to be well informed. Russia, it appeals, will issue letters of marque, in the expectation that it will inflict great damage on English trade in America. ACounsil of M' listers was held at Madrid on the loth nit.

The Resident it Bashirs has reported that 40,- ttiu Persians had reached that neighborhood, in* tending,it is understood, to |invade the Pachalik of Bagdad. An expeditionary force, naval and military, is being rapidly organized by the Bombay Government, to carry out any orders it may receive from England or from the Governor General. The important territorv of Berar, the garden of India, has lapsed to the British Govornmont by the death of its ruler, without issue. r x>rd Folkland left Bombay on the 8d of Decem ber, and on the 12th of Jannary arrived at Cairo. The Peninsular and Oriental stoamer Cadiz, in tended for the Bombay mail aervice, reached Bom bay on the 27th of December. It is stated that if the Russian Ambassambors •re ordered to retiro from Paris and Ixmdoti, they will withdraw to the Hague, and there await tur ther instructions. Advices from St. Petersburg have been received in .London to the 16th ult., at which date the steady j B4 ln fn° prices of import, especially of sugar, denoted increased apprehensions of war. Odossa letters are of the 1 Itu ult. Many ships were arriv ing, and were actively p. ocr ing cargoes, but la borer s wages wore exho oi.snt. Later accounts report, baton doubtful authority, that further shipments were prohibited from Odessa. It is no loDger deniod, i 'veu by the most r.cepti oai, that any moment may bring to England a formal declaration of war; and in a view of the miminenee of the danger, it is a matter of honest gratutation to see with what coolness, moderation, and absence of mock heroics the people accept the necessity and prepare to meet it. ,some brief time it is considered probable that the war may be carried on from the ordinary financial resources of tho country, without the im position of any new impost. But with so powerlul an enemy as Russia, it is impossible to catrv on a little war,” and tho nation is fully aware that a wer-tax and a now loan must be submitted to.— A( \d mdgingfrom tfr e p roson t temper of tho people, *5““ generally healthy tone ol all departments ot trade, there would seem to be no doubt of meet ing all the exigencies of the case on favorable terms.

The Commercial Convention held at Memphis in June lost, adjoujnod, it is known, to meet again in Cl Boston on tho second Monday in April next and •' e members oomposing that Convention, it is expected, will assemble, at the time and place ap pointed, without farther notice. The C iy Conneil es Cnarloston, howover, highly opprec" ting the compl’-neut paid their city, in its bo action as the place of meeting, and desirous, by every means in their power, of aiding and facilita ting the Convontio iin its objects, appointed a Committee, conßis.ing of fifty of our most respecta ble citizens, to mrlgLall nooessary arrangements for the meeting of the Convention and for the proper re option of ; i mombors. Under t’lis arrangement, tho undersigned have been apDOinted to address the Executive authori ties of fae different States and of the cities and towns and other nubl’3 bodies ofthe Southern and Wt tern States, for tho pr pose of respee’'ully upon them the importance of their ap pointing, as soon as possible, a full complement of do’egat' - to represent them at the Convention thus to be hold in this city on tho 10th day of April next. The meeting together of bodies of men of practi cal knowledge and experience, to confer upon mat ters of common concern, have been found not only useful as a means of embodying and expressing public sentiment, but are usually effective in the accomplish'ne tof the object in view, both from the harmony of feoling and tlio concert of action that have generally resulted from them. In the deliberation ofthe Conventions to which your attention has beon now respectfully called, questions of great practical importance to the gen eral interest and welfare of the South and West will doubtless comoop for consideration, and it is eminently propor that tho wiso and patriotic of the land should eamo together and take oounsel of each other, on that occasion, upon all those mea sures that may be considered most propor and ef lecdve for developing tho resources, facilitating tho intercourse, extending the commercial rela tions abroad, and otborwiao promoting tho growth and prosperity of alltlio great industrial and ma terial interest of tho Soutliom and Western States. It is to bo hoped, therefore, that tho representa tion from ovory Stato, city, town, public body and district ol the South and Wost will bo full, and thateach delegate appointed will feel it his duty to be present, at that timo, and to participate in the deliberations of tho Conventions. It will be a source of great gratilication to the people of Charleston to be thus brought into close and friendly communion with their friends and brethren of the far Wost and of the neighboring States, and we have it especially in charge from them, to tender the delegates, in advance, the most cordial welcome to onreity, with the assu rance of the best efforts of us all to render their stay amongst us in every way pleasant and agree able.

Tne objects of the assemblage, and tho subjects to be brought before it, are fraught with so much interest to the entire Southern and Southwestern country, that a full attendance is considered im portant, and the above necessary to insure it. In view of tho deep interest we must all feel in this matter, and the ultimate benefit which must result to the different lines of travel from the pas sage over them of so large and intelligent a body, from all sections of the country, we feel that we are not asking too much, and trust you may lay this before those having the control, and use your influence in ob’v uing prompt action upon it. Your early answer is desirable, as the time of meetu.g is fast approaching; and it is advisable that prompt and due notice do given of the arrange ments. Should this meet with the ready acquiescence we believe it will, we would respectfully suggest that it be endorsed on the certificate of each delegate presented from any authorzed appointing power.
