Lines, arrived at this port at five o'clock yesterday afternoon. She left Havre on the morning, and Cowes on the evening of the 3d inst. She left the Needles at midnight on that day, and experienced strong westerly winds most of the passage. The H. brings 186 passengers, and 630 tons of merchandise. Among the passengers we notice S. G. Goodrich, Esq., late United States Consul at Paris; Hon. Caleb Lyon, of Lyonsdale, member of Congress from New York, and Hon. C. A. Mann, of Utica. The news is of four days later date, and very in- teresting. The mail steamer America, from Boston and Hali- fax, reached the Mersey on the 31st ultimo, at 12 26 A. M. The Glasgow arrived at Greenock on the 30th ult., at 8 30 P. M. The La Plata arrived at Sonthampton on the 31st ult., from St. Thomas and the West Indies, having three quarters of a million of dollars in specie on freight. Great uneasiness was created by the news of a de- cree of the Czar, ordering a fresh levy of recruits throughout the eastern part of the empire, to the ex- tent of seven in one thousand. The Jewa are to give two in one thousand, and the levy is to com- mence on the Ist November. This measure was in- terpreted as a warlike one. A telegraphic despatch in the Morning Chronicle, announces that Moldavia had declared itself indo- pendent of the Porte, and had refased t» pay far- ther tribute. From Wallachia a simflar declaration was expected. At Paris and in London a decline in the funds had been caused by an article which appeared in the Coastitutionnel, containing an assertion that France and England would not consent to the terms of the arrangement which had been proposed. at Constan- tingple.__ hess telegraphic despatch from its correspondent in Vienna, that the United States had proffered to Porte money and active forces. Our private advices by the Humboldt, state that the Koezta affair created the most profound sensa- tion in Vienna; that Metternich was sent for, and a long and important cabinct council held, to take the conduct of Capt. Ingraham into consideration; and that the Austrian government intend to make a demand on the United States for immediate repara- tion in instructions to our Consul at Smyrna, to have Kosata delivered up to the Austrian authorities. The Queen of England reviewed, on the 3d inst., the magnificent fleet concentrated at Spithead, con sisting of fifty-three sail, inclusive of steamers, which is ready at a moment's notice to proceed to the Bultic. The available land force of the Czar is 700,000 men, with a contingent reserve of 300,000. Of these, 360,000 are on the Danube, and occupy Bosnia, Mol- davia, Wallachia, and Tauris, in Persia. So ut seems that the great contest for the Empire of the East, is to result from the Turkish question. Queen Victoria and her royal children, having en- tirely recovered from their attack of measles, left Osborre, in the Isle of Wight, for London, on the 2d inst. The grand naval review at Spithead was to take place on or about the 20th inst. A strike of laborers employed on the London Dock warehouses, for increased wages, had taken place. Parliament was expected to be prorogued about the 19th or 20th inst. The London Times of the Ist inst. contains an article ridiculing the inauguration ceremonies of the New York Crystal Palace, and the speeches de- livered by General Pierce and others on that occa- sion, and drawing unfavorable contrasts between the Exhibition itself and the London Exhibition of 1851, more particularly in reference to the want of punc- tuality and the absence of arrangement displayed by the promoters and managers of the New York scheme. The encampment at Chobham was to be broken up on the 25th August. A very great and favorable change had taken place in the weather, and it} was hoped, that with the needful sunshine, the wheat crops would be se- cured in tolerable condition. The reports of the spread of the potato disease are conflicting, but on the whole, unsatisfactory. “At Mark lane, on the Ist inst., there was a good show of wheat, and the mar- ket was inclined to be dull. Some qualities, how- ever, fetched 2s. advance. Considerable difficulty was experienced in realizing previous prices for foreign wheat. Flour was inactiye, but American flour firm; barley firm; oats lower; Indian corn in demand. Tallow flat; tea firm; hops quiet. The money market showed no particalar change, but most securities had a downward tendency—con sols being done as low as 973. Several arrivals of Australian gold bad taken place, amongst them the Queen of England, from Melbourne, with 40,395, ounces, werth £161,500; the Robert, from Sydney, with £3,000; the Beulah, from Port Phillip, with £44,000; and the Nelson, with £100,000. At Manchester the geneyal extent of business was eatisfactory, and the continuance of the strike at Stockport prevented any accumulation of stocks. At Birmingham there was much firmness in the iron trade, and copper was well maintained. In Kidder- mjnster business was interrupted by the strike of the weavers. Large purchases of lace and hosiery had been made at Nottingham, and the demand for Aus- tralia was very great. Tho Irish linen market was very brisk, with an advance in price. In the Liverpool cotton market there was a good business, at firm prices. Sales on the Lst inst. 8,000 bales, and on the 2d, 7,000 bales, the market closing rather tamely. Letters from 0 dessa of the 18th of July, state that the activity of the wheat market had subsided, owing to the cessation of the demand for France, which had been the principal cause of the recent rise. It is mentioned that Messrs. Fould & Co., of Paris, in London and Marseilles, had now written to all their correspondents at Odessa and elsewhere, to the effect that the crops in France wil not be ‘ad. Owing, however, to the political and other consid tions involved in the question, no op nions this ex- pressed were received with entire unzeserve. The Black Swan is advertised to siag at the Con- cert Hall, Lord-Nelson street, Liverpool—a place not quite so fashionable as Stafford House. Mr. J, Franklin, of Columbia, Arkansas, was mar- ried in Liverpool, to Anne Williams, of Liverpool ‘The passengers on board the Saratoga, from New York, presented a handsome testimonial to the sur- geon. | who were understood to have been the chic buyer THE TURKISH QUDBSTION. ‘The Latest Aspect th Engiand and upon the. - Eu. opean Con The Russian dispute was again the cause of great uncertainty and auxiety, arising from the entire ab- sence of information as to the real intentions ot the Russian cabinet. It was feared that the Emperor of Russia would decline to withdraw his forces from the Principalties, as stipulated for in the propositions of the great, powers. Tho English and French fleets would in” * that case be ordered at once to pass the Dardanelles, and a peaceful settlement of the dispute would there» upon be greatly jepoardized, if not rendered impos sible, Several. telegraphic despatches had been received in London in reference to the question. Oe, dated Constantivople, July 20, stated that the Porte and representatives of the great powers had accepted the proposition of the Austrian minister. According to this arrangement the fleets of Great Britain and France are to withdraw from Besika bay, whilst the Russian troops evacuate the Danubian pro inces. Turkey would then send an ambassabor extraord nary to re-open diplomatic negotiations at St. Petera burg. Conferences to this end were, it wa said, to be opened at Vienna with the consent of Russia. The London Times of the 2d inst., in a semi- offic’al article or the position of these negotiations, contains the subjoined, which may be said to be the late't and most reliable intelligence of the pro- gress of the affair:— Supported by the united advice of tho representatives of the four poxers, with the approval of their respeciies governments, the proporal which has at Inst been agreed: upor at Vierna, nd despatched to Constantinople, cam hardly fail to be accepted by the Por‘o; for whatever that Proposal may be, we assume that it provects the tade perdence of the Sultan in his relations with his Chris tian subjects, ard that it insures the immediate evacua- tion ot his territories by the Russian armies, Any scheme falling short of these two essential points be de iscry. Bat, if full security be given on these two heads. the Porte will doubters adopt the recommendation of the four powers, which will at once be forwarded for the de- cision end imavcdiate acceptauce or rejection of the cupl- net of St. Petersburg. This wo believe to be the present. state of the negotiation, as far as it can be known ie thi country at thix moment, no definitive answer having are rived from either of the priccipals in the quarrel; an@ we baye no doubt that the plenipotentiaries of the four powers at Vienna are prepared to deal in confecence with any fresh incident that may arise, especially as the olec- tric telegraph now enables them to receive in a few hours: ulterior mstructions from their respective goveramunta. But, with ail the aids which steam and electricity new lecd fo diplomatic iatercoure, it is impossible to that a great ceal of valuable time has already been in one vay or another, and that every day expended in the regotiation las been turned to the best posible ae- count by the Russian army.

The world will regard this negotiation as something worse than abortir since it involves the sacrifice of the most importent period of the uniess it leads with premptitude and certeiaty to That result. Urbappily, that is precisely the point on whick it is moet difficult to form a correct and clear opinion; for, though the professions still made by all the agente and ministers of tho Emperor Nicholas arc everythieg that is scoommodating, the information that we re- ceive from the principalities shows that the Russian occupation of them amounts to an absolute Lape vather than @ temporary invasion. Thus, by the accounts, the Hospodars have been ordered to break off ell islations with the Porte. their uudoubted sovereign, and even to pay their tribute, due to the Sultan, fate the Rursian military chest. The anthority assamed by the Russian generale is complete, and. in spite’ of Prince Gortschaboff’s proclamation to assure the inbabitania of the principalities that no fresh burdens would be thrown upon them, not only do uffer severely from the Ruseian occupation, but it is fe in the seats of industry, the markets, and the di peopled cities of the most eivilized countries ia Euro pe. It ecntributes at this moment to raise the price of wheat, in Mark lane, sad to check the proiuetive labor of Man- cherter and Lyons. For it muat be rememooced that, although we live in au age when it ia especiatly incoave- vient a:d disagreeable to run a risk of war for distant political causes, yet those distant political causes are brought nearer than they ever were to our own doors, apd afiect even the aupplies of food and the demand for labor in the British isles, The Paris correspondent of the London Times gives the following information in reference to the diffleulty:— The Tarkish question still maintains its claim to the exclusive attention of the public; and the interest that ro justly attaches to {t will not undergo any diminution until the decision of the Cabdioet of St Petersburg om the proporiticn now before it be ascertained. By thia dey week it is expected that something posi ive will be known. It1s time indeed that this uncertainty should beatanend Tho injury done to the trade and indus of this country must be serious; andit is calcula’ that the loss already incurred is more than even the cost of @ year’e campaign.
