An English army <*nrp* of obaor* Tdtiou is boing rnpiclly prepared for dispatch to iiny point where KuglihU interests may demand ita presence. It will eoiiHHt of eighty or ninety tboUHand men under coimuand of Lorp Napier, of Magdulii, and will probably roydovouH at Malta or Gi braltar. ltusnia will issue a proclamation to theChrintiunH and MuhsulmiuiH as tlm army advances, ordering thorn to re main quiet and attempt nothing agniiiHt each other. Christians who desire to Luke part in the war may do ho by approaching the lines uml be ing enrolled and uniformed, but no irregular bands will be allowed. The Danube baa been cloHod to navigation by tlm lineman command- ore. All neutral vessels must leuv. an noon an loaded, and no inwuid bound vcshoIh will bo allowed to pans after Sunday, 29th inst. It iu seim-ufiieially denied that the powers have exprci ed any opinion on the appeal of the l\>rlo for medi tation, the powers couHiduriug that such meditation offer# no chance of SUCCESS. An official dispatch to tin* minister •of war describes the operations iq Asia Minor aa IcIIowm: On the 27th inbt. our infantry reached Kuruekdi- da, and our cavalry ttuholiu and i Obadzivuli. Tlm strong position of MuchuHtur was occupied on tlm 20th. ‘The loss by tlm b 'inbardmeut of Port St. Nicholas was one killed. On tlm 27lb, tlm Turkish Monitor: approach ed Poti, but wont a way without do ing any damage. The Turku crossed the Danube on Saturday at ftaiislriii, and the ltou- inaniuu troops around Bucharest are moving towards tlm Danube. It in btutod that tlm talks will not oec py Kulafat, which ohviatea present dan ger of a conflict between Tui key and lion mania.

The Albany Nows, speaking of the crop prospect iu that section, bays: “Since our hint week’s alatemont phiuteiH have had a splendid oppor tunity for preparing planting and ploughing. Pl ight buuny days Imvo been upon them; and they have not lost, tlmir opportunity. They have 'put in a little more corn.' and are still planting tlm grain.” A pamphlet entitled “A Glance at Future,” and Haul to have been writ ten by an Austraiii Archduke, has created much comment in Anstruiu military circles. Tlm author consid ers that a wai between Auntria and Bussiu will bo inevitable iu ease of hostilities opening between tlm latter and Turkey, lie ooiuoiues with the remark of Gen. FcyedelV, that it will not he at Constantinople, but at Vicu na, that tlm Oriental question will be solved. A New l'nity Movement, The Washing'on Nation publishes an interview of the editor of that paper with Secretary of the Navy Thompson, and which, it is alleged was carefully revised by the Secreta ry before publication- The interview had reference to tlm formation of a new Whig-Ilwpublioun party. Mr. Thompson expressed tlm opinion that the country is now in a condition fa vorable to the adoption of the princi ples which were tlm platform of the old Whig party, which party was al ways for a tariff' tor leveuue, with discriminating duties protective of American labor, a liberal system of public improvements, and a sound national currency. Ho asserted that the principle that the Federal Gov ernment shall control hucIi public im provements has been firmly tvstablish- ad. The people of the South are now iu an impoverished condition, the people of the North are rich, aud what is needed is such a system of public improvements us will bouelit that section of the country.

Farewell. Thou he sat down and seemed per fectly cool and self-possessed. During his last speech ho talked much louder than before, and seemed with much better spirit. At twenty minutes to two the sher iff* placed him on the seat of the trap door, hound his bauds aud legs, aud told him his time had aoino. He bid good bye to tho ministers, sheriff', aud other friends who stood by him to the last. Ho requested tho crowd to give .something to his wife and children, | and said they might pay it to two l gentlemen whom lie would name. A little after twenty minutes to two I Sheriff Clements cried out “Every ! body look and t ake warning.” TUK TUA1HDOOR FELL, | aud without a motion tho prisoner ! passed iuto otdruity. After ho htidjmng for fifteen min utes lie wns cut down and bis remains placed iu tho coffin. Ilia neck wns not broken by the full, but he died of strangulation. It was a terriblo spectacle, and will live in the minds of those who wit nessed it as long as thoy live, warning them of tho fearful consequences which befall those who take the lives of their fellow man.
