Mixsvamss—Verace The News by the : Kuropa.—iighly “Tate- | resting Crisis in European Affairs, The steamship Eurepa arrived at Halifax on Wednesday last, and her news, received by express | and telegraph, was published in the Herald of yes- terday morning. In every aspect her intelligence | 1s of the most interesting and significant character, | and, in many essentials, of the best complexion. ‘The question ot peace or war between the Czar and the Sultan has been submitted for the final de- eision of the Emperor and his Imperial Council, and Europe is in suspense while the issue is pend- ing. It 1s manifest that the first clash of arms be- twees the Cossacks and the Turks would be the signa! for a general European convulsion, involy- ing every goverament, reviving all the unsettled | questions, and calling again into increased energy all the confused elements of the recent revolutions, froth Paris to Pesth and trom Berlin to Palermo. ‘These general results appear to be so clearly inevi- teble, that all local questions in England and France, important as they are of themselves, are hushed, as in the genera! silence which precedes the rush of a tempest. A more momentous, a more grand and sublime struggie than anything on record in Europe’e history, if not in the annals of the world, hangs upon the word of the proud and imperious Nicholas. He stands in a most difficult and critical position for a dictator of his imperial stemp. If he surrenders, his prestege as the ruler of the continent is gone ; if he madly pluages into war, the hazards are at least equal that he will come out of it stripped of a third of his dominions. He will be driven from the Black Sea, the Medi- terranean, and the Baltic, by the steam navies of | England and France, from which his capital itself would be in danger of bombardment. His only re- hable ally, the Evmperor of Austria, would be in danger of instant annihilation from the overwhelm- ing elements of revolution by which he 1s surround- ed; for, encouraged by an invading French army, Sardinia, Italy and Hungary would spring again | to arms, and it is by no means improbable that Prussia and the contyguous German principali- tues would unite their fortunes with the form- dable allies of the Porte, as the safest alterna- tive of secering a firm footing and a positive yeiee in the aflurs of Germany, which are now overshadowed by the supremacy of Austria, Wuh respect to France, there can be no doubt of her readiness for « hearty co-operation in the Saltan’s eauee ; and nothing would tend more to strengthen | the government of Lonis Napoleon, in the event of | a rupture, than the despatch of a powerful army over the Alps. And never was am army in a bet- ter temper for reuieving the blunders of the gov- erpment, than the army of France at this erisis. It will thus be seen that the Emperor of Russia, im resolving upon war, is plac whieh hazards the t destruction of his Aus- trian ally, and which demands the resourcer, to srcure the minions, Apy Sultan is mustering « itvelf will be that can be « concentration of the | nelles denotee, with termination of Palmer wey into Asia.

In that iesue every unsettled question in Europe 1s involved. The extraordinary advance of cotton m the English market does not, we apprehend, thorize any extraordinary expectations of its eon- tinuance. The reports of a deficient erop had doubtless much to’ do with this sudden demand. But since these reports went over, the season has been unusually fine, and there 1s reason te count upon a much larger aggregate erop than gould have been anticipated two months ago. From the increased exportation of cotton goods, on the other hand, we may calculate at least upon a steadily increasing demand for the raw material, notwith- standing the distrust with which the eaprices of the market should be regarded. In many of its detuils, the news by the Europa is deeply interesting, and suggestive of important consequences; but the great pending question between Russia and Turkey absorbs them all, The gauntlet has been thrown down at the Czar. There is ground for some faith im his courage ; but there appear te be weightier reasons for counting vpon his diseretion, ‘The arrival of the next steamer will, in all probability, determine the question of peace or war. Newsrarer Enrerrrise—Tut Hor Rorary Pronsing Press.—We publish in another part of to-day’s paper, @ translation of a very interesting article concerning that wonderful invention, Hoe’s Rotary Printing Press—the me plus udtra of printing presses—which appeared recently in La Patrie, a newspaper of large circulation, published in Paris. can genius, us well as an accurate description of this new press, which is destined, no doubt, te create a revolution in the sublime art of printing. The writer in La Patrie, it will be seen, has en- tered into some curious and interesting calcula- tions. That journal, he says, contains a certain numberof lines, and it would oceupy a scribe one hundred and ninety-two thousand hours to supply eight thousand copies of that paper; or, in other words, this new rotary press performs as much | It is a well deserved compliment to Ameri- | thousand men could in the same time; and two of thern can printas much matter within the same period, as the whole French army could write, pre- ordinary despatch. This would appear to be the very perfection of machinery; but the advantages which printing possesses over writing, will be brought nearer home to our readers when we tell them that the regular daily issue of the Herald contams fully twice as much matter as La Patrie does, and that the printing pressin our office would, taking La Patrie’s calculations as a basis, do mere work in half an hour than the whole French army could. ‘The next fastest press in the world is that on which the London Times is printed. The greatest number of umpreesions which that press strikes off in an hour, 1s eight thousand two hundred, while the Hoe rotary press, on which the New York Herald is printed, threw off, no Jater than the aight before last, three thousand im sixteen minutes, which is at the rate of 11,250 per hour. A few days ago, it struck off three thousand impressions in fourteen minutes, which is at the rate of | 12,857 per hour. Such are the advantages, in | point of speed and celerity, possessed by this splendid conception and inventioa ot Mr. Hoe, an American mechanic and machinist, over the best | press in England. But thisisnotall. It possesses another advantage, which, although not so um- portant as the other, must not be overlooked. Hoe’s press occupies two-thirds less space than the Times press; or, in other words, you could place three of Hoe’s presses in a room that would hold but one Times py We understand that Mr. Hoe has several European orders to fulfil, | that will keep him employed for a longtime. It | may be the destiny ot the inventor of this press to revolutionize the whole European continent. We also publish a report of a very interesting | speech delivered in England recently, by a joar- neyman printer, which gives a truthful picture of the obstacles which the press encounters in that country. Improvemxts.—We understand | that the Directors of the New York, Albany aad Telegraph Company decided, at their last meeting, to put up a third wire from New | Tereorarn | York to Baftalo, as soon as practicable, exclusively for the business of those two cities, and the busi- | ness west of Buflalo, which now meets with great | interruptions in consequence of the business of | local offiees.

Yesterday, there were three of the four brigades of whieh the first military division of New York State militia consists, reviewed by the Major-Ge- neral commanding. The day was beautifully fae, and the turn out of our citizen soldiers was brilliant ~ their handsome uniforms of every variety and hue, their arms glittering in the sunbeams, their oannon and their war horees, the multitudes that accom- panied them-all presented @ out ensemble that was deeply interesting, and calculated to awaken the no- blest emotions of the human heart. If there is one thing more than another of whieh this countsy has» right to feel proud, it is its eitizen soldiery, who serve their country without hire or reward, and area better defenee against anarchy at home and invasion from abroad, than embattled walls or lines of forts. They are entitled to the respect and the adwiration of all their fellow-citizens. At great expense, much sacri. fice, and no small individual exertion, these military compenies are erected and maintained, that every mam in the State (to we @ figure) may “sit under bis own vine and fig-tree, none daring to make him afraid.”»— As we have said, the dey was propitious, and the num- ber of persons who egated in Tompkins Square and Washington Parade a Ground was very great.

People bave become surfeited with fancy raflroad stocks, which may be worth « tew doliars to day and nething to-morrow, and have turned their attention te. produetive property, such as eannot be depreciated by extravagant directors and ignorant managers. Real estate, bonds and mortgages, United States, and good States stocks, are, after all, the only sufe investments, and we are glad to see that capitalists have got their eyes open at last, and govern themselves aceordingly. The European news has had no particular effect upom the stock market, According to our telegraphic des- patches, there had beem a slight decline in quotations for American stocks im London. Money was very abumdant for legitimate commercial purposes, and the rate of inte- rest ruled at the lowest point. The corn market was firm, without much activity, but the principal feature: of the news ie, the unexpected and enormous advance in quotations for cotton, and the immense salea in Liverpool on speculation, ‘The advance in prices, for~ the week ending the 12th of October, was equal to about one cent a pound, which is a greater improvement for the enme length of time than has been known for many years previous. Such a great and rapid advance is, we fear, but temporary. It is, toe great extent, upon ‘gn artificial basis, and must therefore soon be partially lost. The advices taken out by the Europa are te- ported as being the cause of the excitement in the Liverpool market. We have now & month later intel- ligence from the cotton growing section of this eoun- try, than operators in the Liverpeol market had when. the Europa left on her return voyage; and we can therefore judge more correctly in relation to the pro- buble yield of the crop now coming to market. The season, thus far, has been almost unprecedented. We have not yet hada frost in this latitude; and the pro- bability is, that it will be very late before the cotton growing section of the country will be visited with » Killing frost, This will not only givethe latest bolls a chance to mature, but will give the planters an oppore tunity to pick their fields oleaner than they otherwise could. The advance in prices in Liverpool reported by this steamer, will tend as much to increase the ag- gregate yield this year, as anything we know of. It will * stimulate the planters to gather every pound, and keep their negroes picking so long as there is a boll left. When prices are low, the planters are in- different about picking so clean, and frequenly leave 4 large vumber of bolls in every field; but when prices are high, it becomes an cbject to secure every pound; aud whether prices are up or down, therefore, makes: & great difference in the production. During the plant- ing season, high and low prices havea very great in- flueses upon the movements of planters. If prices rule high, they put every foot of laud they oan eulti- yate into cotton; whereas, if prices rule low, they de} vote nore of their land to the cultivation of corn and breadetuife generally. Whatever might have been the estimates of speculators, brokers, manufacturers, and Planters, of the probable yield of the present crop, a or even just previous to the receipt of the advices, they must mark them all up, they must add at least fifty thousand bales to the highest amount named by any one, and when the cotton specu- lators in Liverpool have posted themselves up to this date, or say to the Ist of November, they will, with- out doubt, experience @ very great revolution in their views relative to the extent of the cotton erop of the United States for the year 1849-50. What the effect of [this, upon prices, will be, we do not pretend to predict. We leave that for the present, eseomuch depends upon the extent of consumption both at home and abroad. That she production this year—1949 and 50—will be greater than has been gene- rally contemplated, we have not the slightest doubt; while consumption may vary most materially from what now appears probable. Thereare so many things calculated to check consumption, which have nothing | todo with the production, that at this moment the Its contents embrace | | For some time past the cendumption hea been at an former fe more likely to be reduced than the latter. enormous rate—having averaged for the first eight months of the present year. 34.455 bales, against 28,116 bales. during the corresponding period in 1843 ; and it may continue as large, or even increase. The addi- tional consumption for the firet eight months of 1849 is equal to 262,000 bales, compared with the same time last year; and should it contiaue at this rate for the remainder cf the year, the aggregate increase will amount to $75,000 bales, This is a very important item, end is equa) to about one-fifth part of the average crop for seme years past. ‘The following appeared in a small part of our edition tlds mornieg, but was taken out to make room for the foreign news.
