8 News. The yellow lever is rapidly abating in the West since the appearance of frost. John S. Carlile, formerly United | States senator from West Virginia, is dead. A Berlin dispatch to the London Post says that the Emperor William j seems determined to resume the man agement of the government, instead of spending the winter its Italy as his j physicians advise. The annual report of the land office | commissioner shows that in the last fit'Cal year over eight and a half mil lion acres were disposed of. The total . number of acres of public domain still unsurveyed is over one thousand million acres. There is to he a railway construct ed on Vesuvius ; excursion tickets to the crater and hack to be sold cheap. Tt is hoped that the invalids and fee- i ble folk, for whom these mountain railways are supposed to be construct ed, profit by them sufficiently to make up for the loss of enjoyment experi enced by those who are capable of walking or riding. Military advices from the Rio Grande represent affiairs on the bor der as more peaceable. The assertion is made that there is a larger number of incursions into Mexico by Indians from this country than by Mexicans into Texas. The troops on both sides are on friendly terms with each other, and acting together in efforts to pre vent raiding, and consequently to preserve peace. Havana, October 23. The English steamer from St. Thomas, October 17, has arrived here. Advices from St. Croix represent the condition of this island since the insurrection as hope less. About one hundred negroes have been executed, but the insurrection ary spirit remains alive. St. Thomas has lost over $150,000 by the insur rection, and $3,000,000 whuld not cov er the damage done in St. Croix. Washington, October 2.s.—Notice is given by the lighthouse board that on and after December 1, a fixed red light of the sixth order, lighting up the entire horizon, will be exhibited from the Lighthouse recently erected on Fort Ripley Shoal, between South Channel and Folly Island Channel,. Charleston Harbor, South Carolinli. This light should bo seen in clear weather about twelve miles, and upon its establishment the light at Castle Pinckney will be discontinued. As the King of Italy was lately driving through the street known as the Caile Mayor a man in a blouse fired a pistol at him. The King was unhurt, and continued on his way to the palace, amid the acclamations of; the crowd. The assailant was imme diately seized by' soldiers and ta ken to prison. The would-be as- j sassin is named Juan Moncasi, aged 23, by trade a cooper, and a native of Tarragona. He states that he is a member of the International Society, and that the crime was premeditated. He arrived at Madrid, October 20. His bullet struck nobody. Advices received at the Department of State from our consular officers at China show’ that the foreign imports into China during the year 1577, amounted to more than $110,000,000. The following were the principal ar ticles imported : Opium, about $45,- 000,000 ; cotton goods, over $28,000,- 000 ; woolen goods, over $7,000,000 ; metals, iron, lead, copper, etc., about 86,500,000. The share borne by the United States in this great commerce amounted to only $1,600,000, while the imports from Great Britain, not including opium, amounted to at least 855,000,000, perhaps $60,000,000. The Standard publishes a sensation al dispatch from Vienna to the effect that Russia's military preparations are so vast that nobody can doubt t hat she is bent upon further conquest. The only question appears to be whether she will wait till spring or recommence the war before that time. The excuse will probably be the out breaks of the Bulgarians which were gotten up by Russian agents. A corps , of 60,000 men are forming at Kische- ■ nefl' to replace the troops who cross- ; ed the Balkans southward. Russian agents openly claim that Moldavia, as far as Seretb, must become Russian. Bismarck has finally succeeded in passing his bill to suppress Socialism, after accepting some vital modifica tions, the final vote standing 221 to 149. its operation is to cease after , March 31, 1881. Bismarck’s success . in securing the support of the Liber als to this sweeping measure is re garded as almost unparalleled by any thing previously accomplished by him in political diplomacy.

Trade for the week ending this date has betn unusually dull, caused principally from the de pressed condition of the cotton market.
