1. AIKsKST CITY CIRCULATION.
Another Citpus!
Tlkj “sight-seeing’ portion of our cituens
liiii'l their name is legion) have already been
largely favored this winter. have h.nl
exhibitions of various kinds, following eacli
other in rapid succession, and among them
one or two Circus troupes of decided protioien
ey. But there arc “a few more of the same
sort left,” and at their head stands Ballard,
Hailey & Co.’s Circus, which will perform here
on Monday and Tuesday next. The fame ot
this company precedes them and warrants us
in predicting that they will draw crowded tents
and give entire satisfaction during their per
formances here. You who have “halves to
spend, prepare to spend them now; and be
sure to take the boys nlong—for many a. juve
nile gymnastic feat is destined to receive its
impulse from the Circus exhibitions ot this
gay season; and the memorable jokes of the
clowns will live long in the mouths of “young
Americans.”
The Legislature.
Our reports of the doings of this body, it
will ho seen, only embrace Tuesday last. Wc
learn verbally that ou Wednesday the impres
sion generally prevailed that the sesssion would
have to be extended to the 25th inat., to ena
ble the two houses to get through with their
business.

There is no intelligence yet of the missing
steamship Pacific. Two steamers have been
sent, out from New York to search for her.—
If she put back into the port of Liverpool, or
any other British port, the next steamship
(the Atlantic will bo due in a day or two) will
probably bring tidings of her. There is, we
think, no reason yet for very serious appre
hensions as to the safety of her passengers.

One of the reports concerning the war,
brought by the Arabia, was that Prince Pns
kiewitch was dead, and that his last words
were an injunction to the Czar to make peace.
We now learn by the Persia that Paskicwitch
is not dead yet, and of course his “dying in
junction” was oil a fabrication.’ lie has an
internal cancer, however, and cannot long sur
vive.

California Senator.
We observe by the news in detail brought
by the steamship Prometheus, that Ex.-Gov.
Foote was the most prominent candidate of
the Know-Nothings in the Legislature of Cali
fornia tor the seat in the United States Senate :
that, attar several days unsuccessful balloting,
lie withdrew, but was afterwards re-nominated,
there was a split, or rather a refusal to give
up individual preferences, in the Know-Noth
ing party, and lienee the failure to elect. It
was thought that anew man would have to be
brought forward, and the impression prevailed
that. Hon. W. L. Ferguson, of Sacramento,
would be taken up. The Democrats (who, in
the Senate, are in a minority of only two) are
using, and will continue to use, every effort to
prevent an election. The inauguration of
Gov. Johnson took place on the Bth ult.
The Capture of Herat.
When it was first reported that the Persians
had captured Herat, the London Times con
tradicted it; but later accounts seem to es
tablish it beyond controversy—indeed the
British press, instead of now denying it, are
loudly denouncing the barbarity and cruelty
which they impute to the Persians, hoping
thereby to rouse up the warlike Atfglinns to
war with Persia.
From Lippincott's Gazetteer and other sour
ces, wc derive the following information in re
lation to Herat: It is a largo and important
city in a small independent chiefship of the
■ ame name, and lips between Persia and Aff
ghaiiistan, on tl H > British overland route to
India, and commanding the trade ns well as
the trausporsation along the route. In INiS
A had 45,000 inhabitants. That year the
Persians laid siege to if, hut the British threw
“Ulcers as well as troops into it to protect it,
at the same time tlin itening Persia with an
attnek from the Persian Gulf, and thus com
pelled the latter to raise the siege, ilt was
really to protect this place that the British
then iuterferred with the affairs of Yffghauis
tan and established anew government there,
against which its people rebelled in 184”, and
so signally routed the British and their party,
driving them from the country with terrible
daughter.) Herat has several times been
loken by tlie Persians, ami ns often re-captured
•'3 the Affghaus—the British always hereto
fore strenuously opposing every effort of Per
sia to take or hold it. Its capture now is
doubly disastrous and annoying to Great Bri
tain. bocaiisc Persia lias evidently been insti
gates to invade it by Russia, who is pushing
her conquests in the same direction, and bv
the capture of Kars now commands the over
land route to India at a point farther West.—
It is a significant indication of England's pres
ent weakness that she does not openly attempt
to retake Herat from Persia, which she only
hesitated to do because such a step would ally
I ersia with Russia, and India would doubtless
soon be invaded by the armies of the two
latter powers, and, perhaps, a rebellion of the
discontented tribes stirred up. If the war
continues, important event* will probably
transpire in tltjs port the world
One of the Ghaileston papers denies the
truth of the statement, which has ‘lately bet-u
circulating ou flic credit ol yneof its city co
temporaries, that the elephant lostoverboard
from a vessel outside the bay “f Charleston
made its way til'elyto laud in ft storm.

For some time the authorities of New York
city have been resolved on having a great
Central Park,’ further up town and much larg
er than the old. one at tlie head of Nassau
street; hut legal obstacles have heretofore
stood fn the way of the project. These, it is
stated, have now been removed, mid tlie Park
will be rapidly constructed. It into cover an
area of 700 acres of ground, and N estimated
to cost Sn,<MMl,(Miil.

The New York Evening Post learns that
1820,000 were bet by different parties in New
York city ou the Persia’s making her late trip
from Liverpool to New York in eight days.
The losers will probably be more cautious in
staking their money hereafter against the un
certain elements.

Feeling in Russia respecting the Peace.
The Ceustitutionel publishes tlie following
letter, dated St. Petersburg, January lti, in
the evening. It gives un account of the effect
produced at the Russian capital by the Czar’s
acceptance of the Austrian proposals :
A report is going tlie round like wild fire.
1 The Emperor is said to “have given his tullic
j sion to the Austrian ultimatum. No one will
i believe it to be true. Nevertheless, it is so.
I No member of the Imperial family, or of the
Council of the Empire, not one of tlie Minis
ters, nor even M. do Nesselrode, could have
predicted this morning the pacific reply of
Czar Alexander 11.
For the last few days Prince Alexander Gort
schakoff, the Russian Envoy at Yiejma, has
kept the telegraph in continual play, appeal
ing to the good sentiments of tlie Russian Gov
ernment in favor of peace. He pointed out
tlie serious consequences that would result
from a categorical refusal.
This morning the Emperor Alexander sent
for the Chancellor and M. deSeniavin, to make
them acquainted with tlie decision lie had
adopted, and liis wish that it should be imme
diately communicated to Count Valentine Jis
terhazy. It was the Under Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs who was charged to take
the note to tlie Austrian Plenipotentiary. At
the same time a summary of the note was for
warded by telegraph to Vienna.
Count Nesselrode’s notification to Count Es
terhazy commenced as follows: “in giving
additional proof of thopacific sentiments which
animate him in the interest of the balance of
power of Europe, his Majesty, my august mas
ter, lias wished to testify publicly the price he
attaches to consolidate the bonds of friendship
which unite him to the Court of Vienna and
to the other Courts of Europe.”
The Emperor Alexander appears to have
consulted no one but himself in these grave
circumstances. lie has just charged the
Grand Duke Nicholas with the delicate mission
of communicating liis decision to his brother,
the Grand Admiral Constantine. We shall
only know to-morrow at St. Petersburg what
passed at that interview.
At the moment 1 write. Cabinet couriers are
starting in all directions with dispatches for
the different sovereigns of Central Europe.
Iho representatives of the ’Foreign .States
at the Russian Court are on their way to the
Chancery, to congratulate the Government of
the Emperor. Count Valentine Esterhazy was
not the last. lie seems much rejoiced at the
unfomon issue of hia mission; but lie found
M. de Nesselrode very reserved, and by no
means disposed to give way to ebullitions of
tenderness.
The impression produced on the population
of the capital, by the news of the decision of
the Czar, is precisely this : great incredulity
among the lower classes, and in the higher
classes, where passing events arc known soon
er and better, profound astonishment, and
some expressions of discontent.
I have no other news to communicate to-day.
Groups are assembling in the streets, discuss
ing the great news. A groat number openly
manifest tlioir satisfaction, but the “ < >ld Rus
sians,” tlie partisans of war at all price, are
in consternation, and do not hestatc to declare
that the Emperor Alexander 11. will not find a
diplomatist who will affix his signature to a
peace oonelud ed under such circumstances.
Another Escape of Slaves.
There seems to boa determination to make
Mr. Gaines, the citizen of Boone county, Kv.
who claims four of tho recent party of fugi
tives, realize the fact that negroes can run
away. We learn from good authority that
tour more of bis slaves escaped from liis plan
tation last night, and, asyet, their whereabouts
have not been discovered. It is supposed,
however, that they are still in Kentucky under
the protection of an agent of the U. G. R. ft.
In fact, it is quite certain they have not yet
crossed tho river. The party consists of two
women, a man and a small child. Out of ele
veu slaves Mr. Gaines lms now but three, and,
to judge from late events, there is no telling
hoiv long he can rely ou their services, lie
is now. and lms been for several days in the
city attending to the present pioseeutiou.

It is stated that there iv kept at the \. York
Dost Office a list of the Cashiers of bauks in
the United States. M lieu letters are found di
rected to that city to Cashiers who do not re
side there, this list is consulted, the error cor
rected, and the letter duly forwarded to its
proper destination, It appears from this list
that no loss than 503 letters for Cashiers have
been misdirected to New York siuoe January

forwarded to their proper address. What a

Probably it is not generally kuovvu that

came from the mine worked by Mr. Vine

A bill to incorporate the Welaka steamboat
Company, whs passed, whilst the bill to incor
porate the Georgia and Florida ,Stcam-packet

Atlantic Railroad as is located in Tennessee,

read the third time and passed.
.V bill heretofore offered by Mr. Lewis, of
Hancock, authorizing tlie Ordinaries of this

and was very proper in its objects.
Tlie bill providing for attachments in certain
cases, authorizing a seizure of the property of
the citizens of those States who refuse to sur

the present old building. Its permanent con
tinuance here is as uncertain as ever.

Tho Florida Claims.
I It may be of interest to our readers to know
i what the “Florida Claims” are, which arc now
’ pending before the Court of Claims at Wash
ington. and which are being pressed by some
ot tlie first, lawyers in the country. The Flor
ida Claims arose under the treaty of 181!) with
Spain, by which Florida was acquired by the
United States anil a part of ivliat is now the
State of Texas was ceded to Spain. The 9th
article provided that there should be a recip
rocal renunciation of certain enumerated
Claims on the part of the respective citizens
or subjects of each country upon tlie other.
Those claims were settled in pursurnoc of the
10th article, which provided that tho United
States, exonerating Spain from all demands on
I account of such claims, should make satisfuc
tion for the same to our citizens to an amount
I not exceeding five millions of dollars. But
! tl *e last clause of tlie 9th article provided for
i satisfaction by tlie United States for injuries,
if any, which, by process of law, should bo !
established to have been suffered by Spanish ,
| officers and individual Spanish inhabitants, by
| the then late operations of the American army
in Florida. It is under this clause that the
claims now before thcCourt have ariseu. The
l amount claimed exceeds u million of dollars.
A letter has been received at the State De

Departure of Fillibusters.

The Star of the West, Capt. Miner, sailed yes
terday, at three, P. M., from pier No. 3 North
river, with nearly 700 passengers on board,
among whom were several of the arrested Fil
libusters whose eccentric behavior has caused
so much trouble to the United States govern

There was a large assemblage at the pier to
witness the departure, and rather more than
the usual amount of shouting, swearing, crowd
ing, crying and excitement was indulged in.
There was a U. S. Marshal on board, but
liis occupation was gone, and the suspected
Fillibusters walked tlie deck triumphantly,
without the fear of the District Attorney bc
lore their eyes, and with none to hurt them or
make them afraid.
