Russia and Turkey.— The Russian troops

\ uh<r A despatch from Odessa, August 6, says :
I " The settlement of the Oriental question is rot
jso near at hand as is generally believed. The
I most active preparations for open hostilities have
| r *°t any time been suspended.” The Russian
j armies were last wasting away from sickness
I and epidemics prevailing in the localities along
I the Danube.
The advices to the 13(h, state that the army
ot Omer Pacha consists of 6.3,000 men and ISO
pieces ol cannon. He was daily receiving rein
forcements whilst the Russians, it was said, lost
15,000 men, since their entrance into the Prin
cipalities by the ravages ot the typhoid fever
and diarrhae. The Russians, to the amount ot
5,000 men, on the 10th, pitched new tents on
the west bank of the Danube, so that the senti
nels of the two armies are within musket shot
of each other. The troops of the Sultan are
said to be in most excellent spirits, and ar
dently desire an opportunity to distinguish them
selves.
It was stated that fever had proken out in
some of the British ships at Besika Bay, and
small-pox on board the French fleet. The ac
counts were thought to be exagerated, only a
lew invalids having been sent to Malta.
England.— The British funds, foreign stocks,
rail way and other shares, have all fallen in value
during the week. The harvest had set in all
oyer the country, and operations carried on with
vigor. The quality of the new corn is not as
fine as anticipated, .The samples produced are
various—some fine, otters coarse, and in indif
ferent condition. Barley and oats are still ex
pected to yield more than an average crop.
Upwards of 370 vessels have arrived in the
Thames, on Monday and Tuesday, chiefly laden
with grain for the Northern ports.
The reports from Ireland are of a highly satis
factory character, in all respects. From Scot
land, also, the advices are of a favorable charac
ter. Complaints of potato rot have almost ceas
ed throughout the United Kingdom.
France. —lt is rumored that the French gov
ernment are about negotiating for a loan of 500,-
000,000 francs, but not generally accredited.
The Constitutionnel contains an article cen
suring the conduct of Captain Ingraham, and
disappaoving the policy of the United States.
Ledru Rollin is dying.
Spain —The Madrid correspondent of the Lon
don Morning Chronicle, w-riting of date Ist inst,
says that the question as to the reception or non
reception of Mr. Soule, as Minister of the United
States, has been much agitated at the Spanish
Court, and the recent accounts of his proceed
ings had been much commented on. It was be
lieved that the Spanish Government will oppose
no objection to his reception as American En
voy, but )f any passage in his address on present
ing his credentials can be found fault with, it
will be seized as an opportunity to dismiss him.
Mi. Soule, the writer adds, will at best find his
position a difficult one.
Russia.— Vienna letters state that cholera
was making great inroads in Russia, especially
in the Southern Provinces, where large bodies
of troops were stationed. It had also made its
appearance at various points of the frontier of
Eastern Gallicia.
A letter from Irkutsk, July Ist, mentions the :
discovery of several rich gold placers on the right

destined to keep watch on the undefended iron- j
tiers of the Chinese dominions.
Venice. —The Venice official Gazette contra
dicts the rumors of scarcity, and says that so
large a quantity of corn has arrived ot Venice
that the authorities are at a loss where to stow
it.
Prussia. —The Piussian Board of Agriculture
has published a circular, wherein it is stated that
there is no foundation whatever for apprehen
sions of a dearth of corn.

—We give the following important despatch
from the London Times, with a recommenda
tion to receive gwith Jcaution whatever is pub
lished exclusively in that paper, and immediate
ly preceding |the sailing of a mail steamer for
America:
“ Paris.—lt was positively stated to-day,
Thursday, Bth, at the Russian Ambassy at Paris,
that the Emperor of Russia had refused to accept
the modification. It was added, that when the
Emperor was informed that the Porte had mod
ified the note of the Vienna Conference before
accepting it, he observed, in a tone of much mod
eration, that he would willingly make conces
sions for the express purpose of meeting the
wishes of the European powers, but he would
not humiliate himself in the eyes of the world
by submitting to propositions proceeding direct
from the Sultan.”
It was also asserted that Napoleon had stated
that he would not go to war at present, in the
present scarcity of food among his people.
Guano. —Lest, from the high estimate we
place upon guano as a fertilizer, any should er
ringly infer that we would discard all other
means of renovating our soil, we deem it proper
to be a little more explicit than heretofore, upon
the relative value of that and other manures.
In the first place, then, we would say of guano
that it should not be used, unless the increased
crops yield a profit equal to the cost of the gu
ano applied. And we say this not because we
believe its fertilizing properties are exhausted
the first year, but because investments of every
kind should yield a profit.
Indeed, this should be the test applied to all
fertilizers, which require an outlay of cash
But even if, upon trial, it should be found that
guano will pay a lair profit, we would riot have
it supercede all other means of renovation. The
stable and barnyard should still be the planter’s
main resource. With these properly conducted,
he may, without, in the slightest degree dimin
ishing the surlace under neath, or incurring the
outlay of a dollar, double the product of many
acres of his soil. It is his true policy, therefore,
to make the most of his stable ami barnyard, and
not till then to call in the aid of other fetilizers.

Religious Revival. —The religious revrval
that has been in progress in several of the
churches of our city, for a few weeks past, con
tinues with unabating interest. A deep and
general religious feeling seems to prevade our
city, and all the protestant denominations are
sharing the result. Over one hundred and eigh
ty conveits have united with the Methodist
church, and a large number with the First Bap
tist. Thus far no excitement has been ob
served, but earnest attention given to the plain
appeals put forth by the able ministry having
the work in charge.
Among the clergyman fiom abroad the Meth
odist churcn has had the labors of the Rev. Dr.
Cross, of Charleston, for the past two weeks.—
Many will he glad to hear that having yielded
to urgent solicitations he will prolong his stay,
tor a portion, if not all, of the coming week.—
As a pulpit orator and faithful gospel minister
Dr. Cross has long enjoyed a deservedly high
reputation.— Savannah Georgian, 24 th inst.
The New] York| Forgeries. —The’ alleged
forgeries of Mr Jas. C. Forsyth, says the Tri
bune, have been traced back as far as 1847,
during al! of which time they have been artfully
covered up by fresh issues of paper. In 1848 he
gave a bond, the interest on which he paid with
exact punctuality up to his flight. It is also dis
covered, it is alleged, that he had forged the name
of the cashier of the Kingston Bank.
