Council Chamber, Sept. 22, 1854, 3 o’clock, P. M. Resolved, That in view of the distress that must naturally fail upon the poor and destitute of the city, we earnestly recommend to the Young Men of the city, whose family relations will permit, the forming themselves into an as sociation for the relief of the needy, and that the Ministers of the different denominations of the city, present the subject of relieving the wants of the poor to their congregations on the ensu ing Sabbath. L. L. Antony, Sec’y. To our Subscribers. Should any of our subscribers fail to receive their papers by mail, it'will not be through the want of exertions on our part. The clerks in the post office have nearly all left, and we are com pelled to assort our own mail in Older to get it off. We are short handed in our office, and will be compelled to curtail our usual quantity of reading matter. Our subscribers in Hamburg have not been furnished with the daily paper, for the last three publications, in consequence of the sickness of the carrier. He is, however, better, and we hope to fur.-.ish them regularly hereafter. To Subscribers. Our subscribers must bear with us a little while. If it is possible we will forward them . papers through the agency of the Post Masters on the different Railroads. The Post Office here is deserted, and the Psst Master is compel led to sleep in his office in older to deliver and receive the mails. The force at present engaged is so limited, that it is with great difficulty the j letters are distributed. The newspaper mail it is impossible to touch, and should the present state of things last much longer, unless help can be obtained, there will ba quite an accumulation es newspapers at this point. rr?° We are requested to say, that the B ulks in this city will open at ten A. M., and close at one P. M., until fortber notice. Aid for Savannah. Among the contributions for the relief of the citizens of Savannah, we observe the names of our worthy Mayor, A. P. Robinson, and Robert Campbell, Esq. The former contributed two hundred and the latter five hundred dollars. A Worthy Example. Mr. James L. Coleman proposes to furnish meal to the citizens of Augusta, during the pre valence of the epidemic in our city, at cost prices, for cash, upon application to him personally or his address, Box 59, Post Office. Mr. Coleman has shown great liberality in ma king this offer, as he might, had he been so dispos ed, have made large profits from the sale of his meal. Those who know him however, will not be surprised at this characteristic act of beveno lence. He is one among our citizens, not fearing danger, who comes forth like a man, where dis tress reigns, and is willing to give his labor for the relief of others. Health of Charleston. The Charleston Board of Health report the deaths of one hundred and sixty perons in that city during the week ending the 16th inst. Os these 148 were whites and 12 colored. Os the whites 126 died of Yellow Fever, and only one black by the same disease. Death of Right Rev. Bishop Gartland. “And I heard a voice from Heaven, saying an te mo, Write ! Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea '. saith the spirit, that they may rest from thoir labors; and their works do follow thorn.” The Savannah Republican says: The Right Rev. Francis Xavier Gartland, Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocess of Georgia, died at the res idence of M. Prendergast, in this city, yesterday morning at half-past 11 o’clock, of yellow fever. His assistant Priests, in visiting the sick, were gradually'withdrawn by their successive illness until he was almost left alone to minister to his flock. Firm at the post of duty, he pursued his good work until he too was stricken down. His • patience in sickness, and the calm submission to the will of his Heavenly Master, were in keep ing with his well spent life. In the death of this truly good man, our community has sustain ed a heavy loss, and his flock been visited by an irreparable calamity in this their season of afflic tion. Bishop Gartland was born in Dublin, and his parents came with him to this country while he : was yet an infant. He was educated at Mount I St. Marys College; entered the priesthood at I Philadelphia; was consecrated Bishop of the | Diocess of Georgia in 1850; arrived in this city | in November of that year, and entered upon his | duties with truly Christian zeal, which he con-j tinued up to the time of bis last illness. His relatives, now living in Philadelphia, have ! the sympathies of the bruised hearts of this dis- j tressed community, who point them to the prom ise of Him who “ rnaketh all things work to- j gether for good to those who love Him.” In Ohio the pine swamps west of Hudson have been burning for weeks. The meadows to the extent of several hundred acres have been burnt out to the depth of lour feet, and will when the swamp fills with water, become a lake. The lire would eat under whole acres when undermined, and, when finding vent would burst out furiously, consuming everything with in reach. President Pierce, oi Hudson College went to the swamp to view the scene, when he saw several large trees, apparently on solid ground, commenced tumbling aiound him, and ihe narrowly escaped with life. Tne inhabitants in the vicinity are in a state ot utmost conster nation. Memphis navy-yard.—At the fast session of Congress this naval station was tendered as a free gift to the corporation of Memphis. The people of the town, however, have had a public meeting, and resolved not to decide upon the ac ceptance ot the gilt until the people of the valley of the Mississippi have had time to consider the subject. They have also requested the Secretary ; of the Navy to arrest any sale of public property : at the navy.yard until the meeting of Congress; I the object of these movements being, ot course, to make a strong effort at the approaching session for the repeal of the section giving away the yard. Charlestown Navy Yard.—Com. Smith, the naval bureau, inspector of yardsand docks, visited the navy-yard at Charlestown on Wednesday afternoon. On enteiing the yaid, at half past 2 o’clock, he was honored with a salute. He was received by Commodore Gregory and other offi cers, and by them accompanied over the yard, park and dock, The inspection was very thor ough in every respect. Commodore Smith will proceed to Portsmouth at once, for the purpose of inspecting the yard at that place. The Charles town Advertiser states that the work upon the hew frigate is progressing steadily, thirty frames being already set up. The sloops Saratoga and Cyane have been hauled in. and are now under the process of stripping. The first of these two vessels is in the most shabby condition of any vessel that we recollect to have arrived at this port. To the list of whigs rebuked in Maine must be added the name of Noah Smith, jr., the can didate for Congress in the sixth district. His ark was not ready, and he is submerged in the waters that have drowned out Reed and Farley and all the other regular whig candidates. What a “signal -ebuff” wbiggery has met with in Maine I What an “overwhelming crushing ver i diet of condemnation” has been brought in i against it I What a “complete annihilation” of I a party that has had the governor for two years I last past I On the popular vote it is beaten by I tens of thousands and is even beaten as bad on j the congressional vote, not having chosen a sin j gle whig member of Congress as such. Poor, obsolete, exploded relic of past iniquities!— Bos- I ton Post. A letter received at St. Louis from Santa Fe announces that Mr. F. X. Aubrey, the noted western trader and interpid traveller, was stab bed in a row with Major Weightman, in that place about the 20th of -August, and died imme diately, Aubrey had just made a trip from San Francisco to Santa Fe, fora wager, in tweney two days. Major Weightman was two yeats ago, the delegate in Congress from New Mexi co, and was an officer in the army during the Mexican War. Death of an Old- Printer.—John Waftt (says the Savannah Republican) an old and re spected Printer, died in this city yesterday, of juandice, makinglhe seventh member ot the craft, who bowed their heads in death during the present Sickly season among us. Mr. Waitt was £6 years of age, and was born in England, where he learned his trade. Some years since he emi gra'ed to this country, and latterly resided in Sa vannah, continuing, up to the time of his death, his vocation as Compositor in our morning paper offices. He was at the close of the publication I of the Sun in this city some years since, a co partner in the concern. In d usGirts habits ; and cheerful in deportment, he won many friends among his acquaintances. Peace to his ashes. Tournament at Jordan’s Springs.—The Charlestown (Va ) Free Press says that at the tournament at Jordan’s Springsori Tuesday last there was a large and brilliant company, and everything passed off in fine style. About one I dozen knights entered for the honor oi crown- I ing some of the fair damsels present. 1 The knights having been paraded in front ot the large hotel by Martin Maddux, Esq., of Al i exandria, marshal, they were charged by Wash < ington G. Singleton Esq., of Winchester, who acted as president, when they started for the tilt—Messrs. James H. Duvall, of Maryland, E. i C. Jolliffe and Byrd Washington, of Fredrick, I Va., acting as judges; and John W. Shultz and Thomas D. Moore, heralds. The ring was ta ken three times in succession by the Unknown Knight, A. Hunter Spangler, of Warren county, and by Highlander Knight, Washington Dear mont, ot Clarke county. A tie occurring, a fourth round took place, when the Unknown Knight came off victorious, and of course achiev i ed the honor of crowning the Q ieen of Love : and Beauty. Hechoose for queen Miss McMo l bine, of North Carolina. The pleasure of crow -1 ningth? first maid of honor devolve I on Higt - ! lander, Washington Dearmont, who selected ! Miss Elizabeth Ridenour, of Jefferson. I Samaritan Knight, Ben jamin Snyder, of [ Clarke county, crowned Miss Janney, of Clarke ■ as second maid of honor ; and the Knight of the i Valley, William D. Gilkerson jr., of Fredrick county, chose Miss Kate Hurst, of Jefforson, I third maid of honor. The queen and the maids of | hon< r were appropriately addressed, whilst the i wreathing was going on, by the president. The j riding was very creditable to the knights, who ■ conducted themselves with great propriety. At night the ball passed off pleasantly, all enjoying themselves heartily. A great array of beauty was present. Gold in Vermont.—The Woodstock Age says that there is gold in Vermont: and says that lor the last three or four weeks from thirty to fifty workmen, under the direction of Captain Ira F. Payson, of Npw York, have been engaged in dig ging into and examining the premises of Bridge water, where gold has been discovered, and that the result thus far has been satisfactory. Arkansas Election.—The democrats have carried Arkansas by an overwhelming majority. Messrs. Rusk and Greenwood (democrats) are elected to Congress, and the Legislature stands 1 on joint ballot—democrats 75, wh'gs 25. I The second Jewish synagogue in Boston—a neat building—erected by| the German Jews who have now seceded fiom the other syna gouge, which was controlled by the Polish Jews was consecrated on Friday afternoon with the religious ceremonies of that nation. They uunj ber sixty members, among whom are some per sons of considerable wealth. The sermon was by Rev. Dr. Lienthal, of N. York, The church was densely crowded to witness the interesting ceremonies—the mayor and oth er prominent citizens being present. Upward of three thousand passengers arrived at New York on Saturday morning from Europe in the following vessels: Ship Liverpool, from Liverpool 651 “ Wieland, Bremen 201 . “ George & William, Bremen 304 “ De Witt Clinton, Liverpool 590 “ Hudson, Bremen 219 “ Orient, Liverpool .....470 “ Copernicus, Bremen ...121 Brig Johann. Bremen 164 “ Agues, Bremen 227 3,038 Another Physician Gone!—lt will be seen by the list of interments published to-day, (says the Savannah Republican) that Dr. JamesM Gordon has been snatched from us in the midst ot his usefulness, by the unsparing hand of death Dr. G. came to Savannah from Atlanta, but a short time since, and was engagedin tire drug business as one of the firm of J. B. Carter & Co. As the epidemic increased he resumed the prac tice ot his profession, which ill health had forced aim to abandon, that he might aid his brethren by contributing his mite to the alleviation ot suf fering and distress, and tell a maityr to the noble cause that engaged his setvices. Miss Eliza Logan.—The Savannah News says—The reader, on seeing the name which stands at the head of this article, will recognize it, as that of one who has often charmed them by her admirable displays ot genius on the stage, and won their esteem and attachment by the graces which adorn her character as a woman.— She again makes her appeaiance'before the Sa vannah public, not in any new part, but one familiar to her as the air she breathes—in that of a benefactress. On the list of contributions published this morning, as having been receiv ed by the Young Men’s Benevolent Association, will be found, opposite to her name, the sum of Two Hundred Dollar’s as a gift to the relief of j the sick and suffering in our plauge-smitten ci ty. We hope, under happier auspices, to welcome her again upon our boards; and we can safely predict the sort of reception which our grateful and warm-hearted audiences will give to one, who has ever been with them a favorite, and has now proved herself to be their “ friend in need.” Sad Occurrence at a Bridal Party in Il linois.—A sad affair took place at Elgin on Fri day night week, says the Montgomery Adverti ser, which resulted in the death of Edmund Ad ams, a young-man about eighteen years of age, and a resident of Elgin. It appears that a young man by the name of Cyrus H. Larkin was mar ried the evening before, and his acquaintances made up a party for a Charivari. Assembling round the house they struck up with bells, tin pan and instrumental accompaniments, when a gun was f a ice discharged in their midst from a window, t ■ ;ing effect upon young Adams’, who ! instantly fell. He was removed to bis fathers ■ residence, when it was found that two buckshot had entered his forehead. He lingered until I Saturday night when he died. A jury was sum -1 moned, and brought in a verdict that-the deceas- I ed came to his death by shots fired from Mr. Lar kin’s house, by some persons or persons un : known to the jury. It was proved before the jury that Mr. Larkin borrowed the gun for the purpose of shooting at the party if they cam:: to his house. Both of these young men had resi ded for a long time in Elgin, belonged to highly respectable families, and were esteemed as quiet and exemplar}’ young men. The affair has east a gloom over the place, and clouded a life which I was glowing with hope and happiness. i The Yellow Fever.—The Charleston Stan dard, of the 20th inst., says:—We are sorry to perceive from the report of the City Register ■ that the number of deaths from the epidemic for : the past twenty-four hours has greatly exceeded that of any one day since the appearance of the disease amongst us. This increase is no doubt atiributab'e to the very unfavorable state ot the weather, the change of w hich have been so very sudden within the past few days. We are in hopes, however, that the disease has reached its climax, and that we will now be able to note its steady decrease, until it shall have entirely dis appeared from our midst, and our city again as ! sume its wonted activity. In the meantime we : would advise all who are absent irom the city to J delay their return for a few weeks longer. The Weather.—We bad (says the Milledge ville Recorder) a very heavy rain in this region on Friday night, and now breathe a cool and re freshing atmosphere. The health of our city is remaikably good. We trust the change in the weather will prove s’alutary to the health of Sa vannah, Charleston and other places scourged by Illness of Dr. Wainwright.—The numer ous friends of the Rt. Rev. Dr. Wainwright, Pro visional Bishop of the Protestant Eplspocal Church in the diocese of New York, have been pained to learn that he is lying very low with I an attack of typhus fever. i The New York Commercial Advertiser, of j Saturday, says: “ For the last few days, much fear has been entertained as to the result, but we are happy to k flj'e to say that the report this morning was much more favorable. Tne Bishop passed a tranquil night, and the fever has somewhat abated. “This distinguished prelate is so much belov ed by all who know him, both w ithin and with out his own flock, that his deat.i would be most deeply and widely lamented. It would also be a great affliction to the Epispocal Church, as it would renew the agitation which was happily quieted by the election ot Dr. Wainwright to the Provisional Episcopate. This is a matter in which we have no desiie to interfere,.but on the grounds of personal respect and regard lor the Provisional Bishop, we may be permitted to say that we hope he will long be spared to fill his useful and important position.” Philosophy for Mechanics.—A correspon dent of the London Builder says that houses should be painted in the autumn; wood work painted in October, he says, looks better at the end of four yeais, thar., if painted i.. June, it would at the end of two. The Weather. The weather in our city has undergone a deci ded change during the past two days. Thursday was cold, rainy and disagreeable, while yester day the temperature was seasonable and pleas ant. We hope the present weather will have an influence in arresting the progress of the epi demic. Medical Advice. A prominent physician of the city suggests to uA'to advise all persons who can do so, to sleep in apartments as high up from the ground as practicable. Servants occupying basement sto ri ■* should be removed into well ventilated apart ments. Where owners can place them in the upper stories or attics ot their dwellings, it is advisable for them to do so. Our informant states that many negroes in the city, occupying low and damp apartments in basements, some of them without flooring, and their hazards are thereby increased. Though this class of popula tlcr> is not as liable to the fever as whites; yet this liability may be still further diminished by following the above suggestion. Another Kind Offer. The following letter was received by his Hon or, tne Mayor, yesterday, from Warrenton. The writer, Mr. Wm. Gibson, will be Jong remem bered by our citizens for his kind offer : Warrenton, Sept. 21,-1854. Col. A. P. Robertson— Dear Sir: On re fusing home yesterday, I found our town al ready filled with your citizens, and heard of the calamity about to befall your city. We can do nothing more for you than to offer to your citi zu is the use of our Camp Ground, about five miles from this depot, and about seven miles from Tomson, oh the Georgia Railroad. We have about thirty-five good new tents on the Camp Ground, each capable of accommodating about twenty persons, with an abundance of good water and wool near by. Some of the tents have plank floors, and all are in good order, and sihiated in a healthy part of ouf country. I will have at least three two-horse wagons at our depot to move such of your citizens down as may come up on the day train of the cars to the Camp Ground every day. Respectfully yours, William Gibson. By letters received from Stone Mountain and from Social Circle, A’e learn that several fami lies can .be comfortably accommodated at both places. | Fire and Cholera.—lt is stated [that the j cholera diminished at Varna immediately after ! the great fire. The fact is likely to excite con- I siderable inquiry, and to lead to various experi i merits as to the influence of fire in purifying the i atmosphere. j Railroad Tickets not Property.—Judge i Robinson, ot Rochester, N. Y., has decided in the I case of the State versus Andrew Donnelly, on a j charge of laiceny lor stealing sixty Central Rail i road tickets, that such tickets, not in the hands j of bonafide purchasers, were of no intrinsic value, I and hence not the subject of larceny. I Charleston Theatre.—We learn through } the New York Spirit of the Times, that the I Theatre for the coming season will be under the i management ol John Sloan, as stage manager, : and S. B. Duffield, late of the St. Charles, as act ing manager. Among the company are to be j Mr. and Mrs. Nagle, Mr. and Mrs. Sloan, Mrs. . and Miss Chappell, Mr. Little, Miss Kate Lud !l: w, Miss Mary Hi.., and many others. The engagements aie not sit completed. The Coal Panic has gone to such an‘extent that it is seriously proposed to urge Congress to repeal the duties on foreign coal generally, which, however, so far as the British Provinces are con cerned, is repealed by the provisions of the reci procity treaty, under which the Pictou coal will come in free of duty. The present duty on for eign eoal from other than the British North American Provinces is 30 per cent, ad valorem. The Liverpool coal is imported chiefly for the use of some Southern cities. The repeal of the duty will give rise to very little competition in the coal market, and will not reduce the price. The supplies of coal from the anthracite region I will be much short of the demand for the pre i sent year, but after a while coal will become one |of our staples for export. The New York Her j aid, however, says: j “We learn that a great number of heavy con ’ sumers in the Eastern States, taking advantage [ of the new reciprocity treaty, have engaged the I Pictou coal, in consequence of their being able i to procure it at a cheaper rate than the Pennsyl | vania anthracite is at present furnished. We j also learn that a great many manufactories in j this city, and a large number of steamboats are 1 substituting the Lackawana for the anthracite, ' which latter they have heretofore used. One steamboat company in this city, which alone consumes upwards of twenty-six thousand tons annually, are now laying in their winter stock ot bituminous as a substitute for the ordinary stone coal, which they have usually consumed.” Severe Punishment. —Three of the operators of the Electric Telegraph, at the station called Rincon, Cuba, have been discharged,for some ne glect of duty, sentenced to pay all the costs in curred, and to be imprisoned in the jail nearest to Rincon for the space of one month! A Useful Invention. —The Lords of the Trea-ury, England, have awarded Mr. John Dicker, inspector of mails, the sum of £SOO, as a i compensation for his invention of an apparatus for transfering mail bags to and from railway carriages a full speed, without stopping. Tailed and Feathered. —The Louisville Democrat states that the juryman in the Thomas son case at Georgetown, Ky., who was in favor of acquitting the prisoner, and thus hung the jury and saved the supposed guilty, had been tarred and feathered near that place. Low Water.—The river is so low at St. Louis that the boiler decks of the largest steamers are scarcely on a level with the wharf, and discharg ing freight is consequently rendered exceedingly difficult. Laborers are paid twenty cents an hour. Singular Coincidence.—The Rev. Dr. Be dell relates that while Bishop Chase, of Ohio was at the louse of Mr. Beck, in Philadelphia he received a package from Dr. Ward, Bishop of Sodor and Man, making inquiries relating to cer tain property in America,of which someoldper son of his diocese was the heir. The letter had gone to Ohio, followed him to Washington, then to Philadelphia, and found him at Mr. Beck’s When he read it to Mr. 8., the latter was in amazement, and said: “Bishop Chase, I am the only man in the world who can give you infor mation. I have the deeds iu my possession, and have had them forty.three yers, not knowing what to do with them, or where any heirs were to be found.” How wonderful that the applica tion should be made to Bishop Chase, and he not in Ohio, but a guest in the house of the only man who possessed any information on the subject. City Mortality.—The number of children under 10 years of age that died last week in New York was 399; in Philadelphia 121; in Baltimore 59, and in Boston 55. The following is a comparison of the total martaiity in the four cities : N. York. Phila. Balt. Boston. Cholera 126 11 —7 Cholera Infantum. 61 29 11 9 Cholera Morbus... 8 3 20 1 Convulsions 37 13 2 3 Consumption.. ..40 18 18 15 Diarrhoea 41 7 2 4 Dysentery 34 13 9 6 Marasmus 55 16 3 Fevers 22 15 10 3 Other diseases.... 254 101 56 45 Total 681 226 128 93 Previous week 732 234 138 111 There was one death from yellow fever in New York last week, and one in Philadelphia. Medical Assistance.—We would call atten tion of the public of Savannah, says the News, to a card in our columns of this morning, from Dr. Henry S. Bacon, of Augusta. He has come amongst us with a view to share the labors and perils ol his brethren in our city, and in obe dience to those promptings of humanity which the members of his profession seldom fail to re spond to. It is our ardent hope that his benevo lent efforts may be crowned with success. Potatoes in Vermont.—A Bennington, Vt. paper says: “The potatoe crop, which a few days ago betokened a total failure, now promises to be quite good. The late planted potatoes nev er were doing better, and we are informed that some pieces—should the present state of the weather exist for a few days longer—will yield, nearly an aveiage crop. From present appear ance potatoes cannot be, a month or two thence, above 374 cents per bushel, and they may be be low that price.” Ashland not to be Sold.—James B. Clay, son of Henry Clay, in a note to the editor of the Lexingtm Observer, contradicts a report that Mr. George Law, of New York, had sent an agent to Kentucky to purchase Ashland, the home residence of the late Henry Clay, and which now belongs to his son, J. B. In his note Mr. James B. Clay says :—“ Never Having offer ed Ashland for sale, I presume neither Mr. Law, not any one else, would venture to offer me the insult of proposing its purchase.” Hogs in In. iana and Kentucky.—lt appears from the returns of the assessors that in 64 coun ties of Indiana there are 2,168,833 hogs, being an increase over last year of 588,377. Add to this the excess in Kentucky, and we have an excess in two States of near 900,000 head. Official Health Report. Savannah, Monday, 9 P. M.

Bingham Esq., the chief operator of the Washington and New Orleans Telegraph Company in this city, and there being at present no assistant operator, the office will be necessarily closed for a few days.— Char. Courier, 21 st inst. [From the New York Daily Times ] Arrival of the Steamer Ottowa at Quebec. Quebec, Monday, Sept. 18. The Canadian Steam Navigation’s Company’s screw steamship Ottowa, Capt. J. B. Atkins, ar rived at this port at an early hour this afternoon, bringing a full list of passengers, and a heavy cargo of goods for the fall trade. The Ottowa sailed from Liverpool on Tuesday, the sth inst., only one day in advance of tlse Collins steamship Atlantic. The Liverpool Cotton market opened with a full attendance on Tuesday, but the transactions in Wheat were very limited, —the few sales ef fected at the opening have been made at a de cline, as compared with the current rates oi the previous week at four to six shillings per quar ter. All other articles were also cheaper at the London Corn Exchange on Monday. English Wheat was selling at prices from Gs. to Bs. per quarter lower—s4s. being the top price. The weather was brilliant, and the harvest was drawing to a close. It continued abundant throughout England. Consols closed at 95 1. At the Paiis Bourse, on Monday, the funds re ceded J per cent, from the prices ot the previous Saturday. Vienna, Sept. 4.—The Bourse was languid, and funds are lower. The War.—Strict orders have been sent to the Austrian Consul at St. Petersburg, not to de viate from the four points laid down in M. Drouhn de L’Huy’s note, nor to admit of any modification in the Russian answer. A despatch from Vienna says, that Russia re jects, absolutely, the required guarantee that the Principalities should be evacuated, and the Mon iteur of Sunday confirms this despatch. It is said in Vienna, that the Emperor added that he would rather sacrifice the last soldier than accept such conditions. Vienna, Sept. 2.—Some people will have it that Demidoff has not brought any definite an ■ wer from St. Petersburg, but merely a private note from the Czar to the King of Prussia, where in the four points are interpreted differently, and it is upon this reason that the Czar is willing to enter on fresh negotiations. Another despatch says, that Baron Manteuffel has received the official answer of Russia to the proposals to commence negotiations upon the ba sis stipulated by the Western Powers, and that Russia unequivocally declines to accept the pro positions, and will maintain the defensive. (This last is probably correct ] Advices from Bucharest to the 20th ult. state that Derbesh Pasha had arrived in the Capital, and that he had issued a proclamation in favor of the Sultan, stating that the Austrians would pro visionally occupy the Principalities as the allies of the Ottoman Porte. All the former privileges of the Principalities would be maintained. Seventy-one cases of Cholera had occurred in . the Turkish Camp. Gen. Conut Canrobert, [probably an Austrian General is meant,] had passed through the F-osen thal pass for Bucharest. Varna, Aug. 21.—The Britannia has sent all her men in transports to Galatz, and has been cleaned and fumigated. This is the vessel vr hich suffered so badly from Cholera. The Cholera has abated in both armies. . No new movement had taken place, except that the French were embarking fascines and artillery. Dantzic, Sept. I.—Admiral Parseval and Gens. D’Hilliers and Brown, have made recon noiters of the fortresses of Helsingfors and Swea borg. The Times, in its second edition of Monday, says it is not expected that Austria will declare war against Russia, but probably the Army of Occupation in Wallachia will be raised from 30,C00 to 100,000 men. The Russians are con centrating themselves in certain portions of Mol davia, in consequence of the threatening move ments of the forces in their rear. Dantzic, Sept. 2.—The forts at Hango have been blown up by the Russians. Spain.—Madrid dates are to the 29th ult. Tran quility had been entirely restored without blood shed. Liverpool, Sept. s.—Later Int lligence.— The intelligence which has arrived by the journals is not of great importance. The Oest. Dutchen Post of the 29th announces that it has received a dispatch stating tl at part of the Black Sea fleet had quitted the port ofVarna, and that that part of the combined fleet now staying at Baltschik is intended to cruise near Odessa. Another ver sion says that the intention is to blockade Odessa. A letter from Bucharest of the 21st ult. says the Turks are advancing on the Busco Road, on which the Russians have been frequently worst ed by the Bashi Bazouks. The Ottawa averaged 270 miles per day for the first four days, after which she experienced very heavy gales from the west, breaking her tiller, and canying away part of her boiler works. Robbery—The store of Mr. Wm. H. Hause rnan, commonly known as the Blue Store, in Congress s’reet, near Market square, was enter ed by some person or poisons yet unknown, on Tuesday night, between eight and nine o’clock, as is supposed, when after sundry depredations an attempt was made to fire the building. The proprietor bad not opened his store since Saturday last, having been detained at home by sickness. On examination, yesterday, be found that an entrance had been effected by wrenching off the fastenings ot a window in the rear of the building. The articles missed consist ot a heavy gold lever watch, and heavy gold chain, a gold locket, and several articles oi clothing, including cassimere pantaloons, satin vests, &c. The rogues, however, owing probably to their hurry, overlooked a silver watch, and also another gold watch and chain, which were in the same case with the one above mentioned. The till was also ransacked, and about a dol lar’s worth of copper change, provided for Satur day’s market, abstracted. Here, again, a silver watch, lying in the same drawer with the coin, was left untouched. A small piece of candle was found by Mr. Hauseman, and near the back of the store a quantity of paper containing a parcel of matches half consumed, the whole carefully wrapped up in polask matting, used for trying on shoes, and which had been carried from its place in the mid dle of the store, to the rear- »’ materia! loj th“ fire. It was to bwrtTwoivly, and thus afliw-ernescoundrels an opportunity of esC a>»-<- Tut the linen of which the mat is made, inidrts close texture, stifled the flames, and thus defeated their further purposes of plunder. We repeal, it is necessary for our citizens, if they cannot rely for protection upon their watch, to louse themselves for their own defence. A fire, at such a time as this, and especially in such a close-built locality, is all that is wanting to fill the cup of our calamities.— Sav. News, 21st inst. New York, Sept. IS.—The relief committee to receive the funds collecting for Savannah or ganised this morning. The sum collected last week was 83,100, to whom 8500 additional was 'added this morning. SECOND DESPATCH. New York, Sept. 18.—The fund for the relief of Savannah was to-day increased to 85,100, and will, doubtless, be swelled to 88,000 to-morrow.
