The Cunard screw steamship Alps, with the European mails of the 18th ult., arrived at Boston at about 9 o'clock yesterday forenoon. Our summary of the news by this vessel would have ‘heen much more lengthy had not the mails arrived at ‘too late an hour to make use of them. They did not reach our office till about two o’clock. Howover, the ar- rival of the Atlantic fully atonos for the deficiency. ‘The Alps brings twenty-nine passengers and the mails bof the 18th for the Ufited States and Canada. On the 19th the Alps pussed the ship AZ, bound to ‘Liverpool from New York. , The Collins steamship Atlantic, from New York Feb. 4, arrived at Liverpool at 334 o’clock on the morning of the 16th. The Cambria, from New York, reached ber dock at Liverpool on the 46th-. ‘The Niagara was to embark troops at Liverpool on the 224, and the Cambria at Kingston, Ireland, on the 25th Feb. d The London money market had been toleraJy brisk Wuring the week, and consols closed on Friday at 913,. ‘The general tone of the commercial advices is favora- ble. Cotton, at Liverpool, had been in active demand ‘throughout the week, and at the close prices were very ‘firma, and in some cases an advance of one-eighth of a penny had been realized. The sales of the week foot up "70,000 bales. The decline in breadstuffs reported by the Andes and Nashville is not confirmed by the commercial circulars ‘of Friday evening. Wheat, at the close of the weok, Was firm and active at the full rates current at the sail- ng of the Europa on the 11th. Flour had been in fai demand during the week, closing steady at sixpence de- cline on the week. Indian corn was unchanged since the gailing of the Nashville, on the 15th—the decline on the ‘week having been two shillings per quarter of 480 Ibs. . The British bark Bona Dea, Capt. Roo, from Savannah for Liverpool, was picked up on the — ult., off the south- -wost coast of Ireland, waterlogged—the crew having been ‘without food-or water for twelve days. Ten of the crew, including the master, bad divd frou: oniaag STEKO Uae COW the bark Cuba, and at last accounts were doing well. Italy is quiet, politically, us yet. Cuptada Tngrabain, of tho St, Louts, having declined the ypublic banquet tendered him at Genoa, a party of three thousand Genoese gave him a serenade on board his ship. {The Bt. Louis sailed on the 7th February. Bread riots had occurred at Ravenna and other places. The free importation of broxdstuifs into the Papal States, had been extended till the end of April. Great fermentation exists in Poland, in consequence of which Russia has suspended the withdrawal of troops from that country. A camp of fifty thousand Russian eserves was to be formed in April. THE TURKISH WAR. In compliance with orders from the French and Eng- lish governments, the larger part of the allied fleet will gemain for the present in the Bosphorus. Six steamers “will be detached to convoy Turkish vessels when neces- sary, and four steamers will be kept in constant observa- te further operations had taken place on the Danube, put the Russian attack on Kolefat was still daily ex- pected. The fort is now garrisoned by thirty thousand Omer Pacha’s health is re-ostablished. He had re- cently hung two Greek spies. ‘The Turkish, army generally’ was in good health and spirita, with an abundance of food. ‘The Wallachian peasantry had become so hostile_ that the Russian soldiers are forbidden to go more thana mile from the camp. General Aurep, who commanded the Russians at Citate, is disgraced, and sent to the Caucasus. ‘The young Prince of Moldavia is distinguishing himself 4n the Turkish service by his military prowess and bravery. A British steamer, the Haidee, with some Turkish troops en board, went ashore near Sebastopol, and has heen selzed by the Russians. Russia is using every device to give the charactor of a Holy War to the hostilities, and the soldiers are told they are on the way to rescue Christ’s sepulchre from the infl- dels. The Patriarch of Moscow had issued an address to the Sixth corps on leaving for the Danube, of which the following is a translation: — Children of the Czar, our Father, and of Russia, our Mother!—Our brothers of the army, the Czar, the coun- try and Christianity call upon you. The prayors of the Church and the country accompany you. Russia is again provoked by an enemy who was vanquished under Cathe- xime II, under Alexander J., and under Nicholas I. Already have your brothers revived the old habit of beating him by land and by sea. If it be decreed by Providence that you are to see the onemy in front of ~ you, recollect then that you are fighting for the most pious of Czars, for your dear country, for the holy Church, against the’persecutors of Christianity, against the profaners of the holy and venerated cities which ‘have seen the birth, the passion, and the resurrection of Christ.

Besides the steamers before reported as having been chartered by the government to transport troops, forty or fifty merchant ships, it is reported, have also been taken up, and it is said that the government have it in coepmnnatien to charter the steamship Great Britain also. There is no scarcity of ships, and more are offered than are at present needed. Every effort is being made to recruit the navy, and al naval pensioners have been re-enrolled, and enlistments going on with spirit at all the ports.

In the House of Commons, on Thursday, Mr. Dis- wpe asked if the published letter signed ““Napo- n,?? addressed to the Emperor of Russia, was authentic, and if the English government was cognizant of its being sent. Lord John Russell replied that the letter was.authentic, and that the British government would hold themselves responsible for its sentiments, This announcement was received with hearty cheers. Great numbers of people in Wales are preparing to emigrate this spring to Salt Lake City to join the Mormons. e first ships of the season have just been placed on their berths at Liverpool for Quebec. A private joint stock company has been formed at Liy- erpool for a screw steamship line to Australia. The Great Britian will constitute one of the line. ‘The Emperor Napoleon’s letter to the Czar excites ex- traordinary attention in France, Belgium, and England, in the latter country, more especially since the formal ap- goers of its sentiments by Lord John Russell in the louse of Commons. The letter is everywhere regarded asa bold step, which precludes all furiier occasion for talking, and leaves the dispute only to the arbitration of the sword. The letter is much admired for its skill and ecision. FRANCE. It is reported from Paris that the Czar has replied to Napoleon’s letter, and that the reply is unfavorable. Gen. Castelbajac, the French courier who carried Napoleon’s letter to the Czar, is said to have telegraphed as follows:— “TY return with a refusal.” (Gen. Castelbajac is the French Minister at St. Petersburg.—Ep. HERALD. ] The utmost activity prevails in France in preparations for war. In the Foreign Office a number of Orientals are engeged in translating circulars, orders, mani- festoes, &c., into the Eastern dialects, and interpreters will accompany each battalion. All the French troops will be ready to embark simultaneously with the British forces. The whole French force under orders for Turkey numbers eighty thousand, and consists of the flower of the army. if ‘The Monitcur contains official notice of the annexation of New Caledonia. AUSTRIA. #3 Austria’s conduct is considered extremely suspicious. Although every additional soldier is an additional bur- den in the present state of her finances, her preparations are of a magnitude for war instead of neutrality. She ha also sent an equivocal circular to her diplomatic agents expressing disapproval at the interference of France and England. ‘Austria regards their intervention as dan- erous, and has full confidence in the loyalty and recti jude of the Czar Nicholas; and Austria, therefore, wii take such measures as she sees fit on her frontier.”” The foregoing lacks confirmation. ‘A battering train of eighty guns and 6,900 cwt. of pow- der had just been sent to the frontier. & ee on at Carlscrona. eee ot tf props yuma to at te” ‘budget fon ten years.

The Collins steamship Atlantic, Captain West, from Liverpool on Wednesday, the 22d ultimo, arrived abreast the Hook at 10 o'clock. The Atlantic ran ashore about fifty rods from our office, inside the channel buoy, where she still remains, and there is little probability that she will go off before morning. ‘The tug boat Titan is alongside. There is no surf where the steamer is, and if it holds calm there is no danger. would be likely to do damage. The Cunard steamer Asia arrived out at Liverpool at 2 P. M., Feb. 20, ‘The screw steamer City of Glasgow, from Philadelphia, also arrived out on the 20th. The terrific gale at Liverpool—reported by the Alps— had entailed no casualttes on American shipping, except- ing some of trivial importance. ‘The news is most important, The Paris Monieur announces that the Czar’s letter from St. Petersburg arrived in Paris on the 18th of February, and that the Emperor Nicholas does not ac cept the proposal for arrangementa which was presente | to him. ‘The Moniteur adds— This reply leaves no chanco of a Pacific solution.’’ Troops were embarking on the day the Atlantic sailed from Liverpool, Dublin, aud Southampton, and ships were fitting with great rapidity at all the ports, for the Baltic fleet. French troops were embarking from Africa for Turkey. A heavy easterly or northwesterly wind | PRICE TWO CENTS. The Seventh of March. 4 LEOTURS BY BALPH WALDO EMERSON. ‘The last lecture of the anti-slavery course was delivered | last evening at the Tabernacle. The name of the lec- turer—Ralph Waldo Emerson, of Massachusetts—was of | itself a sufficient attraction to fill the large building with & more than ordinarily numerous audience, Long before | the hour appointed for the lecture crowds thronged into | the building, and by the time the lecturer made his ap- pearance on the rostrum almost all the available seats | | were occupied. At 734 o’clock Mr. Emerson appeared upon the platform, accompanied by several members of the Lecture Committee, and was received with consider- able applause. Mr. 0. Jounson, on the part of the committee, inti- mated that the present course would be brought to a close MA the lecture of the evening. He congratulated his anti- slavery friends upon the great success which had attend- ed the lectures, forming as it did a most agreeable contrast to the ill-success which generally followed courses of lectures in this city. that the parties who had undertaken the getting up of this course of anti-slavery lectures belonged to the most ultra wing of the anti-slavery party. They were what are commonly called ‘Garrisonians.’’ The party intended to have lectures of the same stamp at a future period, He then introduced the lecturer of the evening, Who Was received with much applause.

There was the same law—statute law, common law—for Jeffrie to read slavery out of, and for field | to read freadom from. And, in this country, one always sees that there is margin enough for a liberal judge to read one way, and «servile judge another.

Mr. Webster decided for slavery, and that when the aspect of the institution | was no longer doubtful, no longer feeble and apologetic, | and purporing soon to énd itself, but when it was strong and aggressive, and throatening and _illimitable in sons listened to leaves, as increase.

Now, gentiemen, in what I have to say of that eminent man, be very sure Ido not confound him with vulgar politicians of his own time or since. There is always base ambition enough— men enough who ealeulnte upon the immense ignorance of the masrer—that is their quarry, and they farm it.

Tirese are declaratory of the willof the moment, and are passed over with le vity. You have relied on the constitution, and in it the word “sl is not to be found, and good argaments are brought forward to prove that it would not warrant | the crimes that are done under it. You havo relied on the Supreme Court. The law was right—it was an excel- | jent law for lambs; but suppose your judges were chosen from wolves? (Applause.) You have relied on the Mis- souri compromise, but it has been ruled over you. You have relied on the State to protect her citizens, and they were driven out before you. And now, you have relied on those infamous guarantees of 1850,’ and before the body of Webster has crumbled in the dust y also have crumbled. There are no guarantees to the free States but only to the slave States. I fear that there is no reliance to be placed on form or covenant, on consti- tuions or lawse—none on churches or Bibles, for Chris- tians keep slaves, and quote the Bible and Paul in favor of slavery. If slavery be good, then theft and murder, and vice of every kind are good also. This proves that forms are no use—the deyil nestles comfortably into them all. There is no help but in the life and honesty without loyal citizens to obey them.
