8 ARRIVAL OF THE WASHINGTON. ONE DAY LATER FROM EUROPE. Bailing of the Belgique from Seuthampion— France Determined on a Vigorous Cam. paign tn the Eust—Position of the Peace Sogotiators—Navigation of the Danube and Binck See=fins..clal Report, Re, key ke. ‘Tho Ur ited States mail steamship Washington, which Vet Southampton on the 6th instant, arrived at 4 o'clock lest evening, with the German, French and English wails, and about thirty passenger. The coparture of the Washington from England was dolaged four days, from the following causes :—On the Aft ult. she arrived off Cowes en route to Bremerhaven, and baviog trevshipped her mails and passengers fr Mingland, proceeded on ter voyage, arriving off Bremer havenon the 2Ist. The captain was informed by two pilots who cawe on board, that the river Weser was frovem up. and therefore it would not be safe for him to proceed with his ship. A steamtug was also sent along- Gide the ship from the agents of the company, with an- other pilot on board; but in consequence of the danger, owing to the ice, he refused to take charge of the sbip. ‘Tho mails, par-engere, baggege, &c., being transferred t> the tog, the Washington weighed spchor and proceeded on her return voyage to Suutbampton. On the 224 ult, at 10 A.M, sbe passed a light ship, which was supposed by the pilot in charge of the Wash- lagton to be the Galloper. The weather being very thick api bazy, the mistake was vot discovered until about half part 12, when the vessel went ashore on the Long Sands. Here the Washington remsined for about ‘7M hours, end then flosred off easily, without any ap- parent damage to the ship beyand the loss of a new kodge anchor weighing 25 cwt., two tawsers, amd sun- Gry gear necessary t ave the ship from the imminent peril in which she was psced. About two hours after the ship floated it commenced blowing » heavy gale of wind from the westward, and bad uot the united exer- Uioms of the commander, officers and crew of the Wash- ‘ington succeeded in removing the ship previous t> the commencement of th le, there is very probability that abe would Lave become a total wreek. At 7 A.M., on the 234, they reached the Straits of Do- ver, with the necerssry signal fights burning, the wea- ther being thick, ands gale ot wind blowing from the W.8.W. In steering through the Straits, a sailing ‘veese! without any tights, was observed on the port bow @f the Washington, and the pilot supposing the eail to be running before the wird, ordered the heltneman of the ‘Washington to pu: the helm aport, which was immedi ately dove. It was then discovered that the sailing 6hip was on the por: tack s andivg towards the English const, and it beiog then too late to sbift the hélm to avoid a collision, the ship deified alongside with her tore- topaail abeck, and the two vessels came in collision, side by aide; @ cea roiling agaost tne stranger drove her with much ferce avainst the paidie box of the Washington, breaking the whi ls of the trame work in, and doing coa- siderable Camage to the atter pact. Having clesred the wreok, the Washington p:cceeded on her voyage, and reashed Southampton on «he 24th ult. Upon the arrival at that port Captsin Cuyendy caused & protest to be duly made, and the Washington was or- dered into the graviag dock to be surveyed, Here, for- tunately, it was di-covered that beyond the displacement of ber copper, which was considerably torn, no damage was done to the bettcm of the vessel. Shs was tien caulked end re-copyered promptly; and having had her paddle box repairs effected, sailed for New York on the mornirg of the 6th inst. Some delay was cccarione’ to the Wacbington in the repairing of the damage done, owing to the bad state of the wea'hsr and the usual scarcity of laborers at the Christmas and New Year season, but through the cour- toay of the Posimss’er General, who caused « special mail to be made up for her conveyance the Washington was Allowed the time necessary under the circumstances. Praige is due to Capt. U-vendy for hia undivided atten- tion to bis verwel duricg bis stay at Southampton, and to him, with the assistance of his officers, may solely be at- ributed the hasty ccarpletion of the repairs, and conse- quently the more speedy departnze of the vessel from Southampton for New York. Every attention was also given by the American agente, Messrs. Croskey & Co., who, with the commspder were continually to be scea im@ttendance vpcn the Washington, snperintending and urging on the workmen em;loyed. J: is due to all on Doard the Washington to agair allude to the fortunate ciroumstence of ficating the vessel from the Long Sands, and thcreby doubtless avicg the sbip. ‘This is the first casusliy which hes occurred to either of the New York and Bremen ships, and in this instance owing to the vers thick weather and tremenions winds the caurs must be etributed entirely to the result of accident, in the mistake of the light snip Thenew ceres sveomsbiy Pelgique siso sailed from South- ampton on ibe fth inst.

She was built at Amsterdam, by M. Von Vlissiogen, and is fitted for first, second and third clays passengers.

A cew exchenge of prisoners between the French and Russians took place recently at Odessa. Among the French prisoners given up were three officers of the Vavtoar, who were captured by the Cossacks whilst out shooting in the reighborhoce of Kinburn. ‘The Vieona correspondent of the London Times, writing on January 1, eayt:— , ‘ as ror" mu ye Pe news thero is eae oa afew jokes erm - few days Teince to Baron Hess and other Austrisn officers of the higheat rank, Towsrds the end of the meal Pringe Gortechakoff propoves the bealth of Baron Hess, ‘and at the same time expre-sed his heartfelt satisfaction t there was sueh an excellent understanding between Russian and Austrian armies.

The re-entment of Russia against ~weden is very great.

Russia is to have uo exolumve right of protection. nor intervention, in the domest ‘irs of the Principatities, It is de- manded that the Principali:ies shali retain their privile ges end immunities under the suzeraineté of the Sultan, and ‘bet the Ottcman Porte, in concert with the con: tracting Powers, shall grant to the Prineipalities an in- ternal organization according to the necessities and freely expressed wishes of the population. In concert with the Sultan also, as uzerain, the Principalities will eg & permanent defensive system, such as is re- quired by their nphical porition, and n> obstacle and no impediment shall be offered to them in the adop- tion of any exiraordinary measures of defence they may require to enable them to resist aggression on the part of s foreign power. In exchange for the fortified places and terricory occupied by the allied armies, Russia will be required to assent tos modification of her own frontier with turkey in Europe. The frontier thus modified, comformable to the general interest, will cowmence from the neighborhood of Caotym, following the line of the mountains which extend ia a southeast- erly direction, and terminating in the Lake Sasik. The line will se definitively regulated by the treaty of peace, and the ceded territory will be restored to the Princt- palities, aud consequently to the suzeraincté of the Porte. With respect to toe Danube the opening of that river 6nd its mouths will be effectually secured by regulations in which Europe will have an interest, and in which the contracting Powers will be duly represented, exsepting the portions belonging to the Powers who have territory on ite banks, which will be regulated acoording to the principle establirhed by the Congress of Vieuna in mat- ters relating to fluvial navigation. Each ot the contract- ing Powers will have the right to maintain one or twa small vessels ot war at the moaths of-the river, with the object of ensuring the execution of the regulations rela- tive to the freeaom of the Danube. ‘The Black Sea will be wade completely neutral.

The two Powers possessing territory on the Black Sea will accept the engagement reciprocally to maintain therein no more than the number of light ves- seis, whore force shall be determined previously, ne- cessasy for the service of thetr coasts respestively. It is also provided that such stipulaton or convention s shall have been agreed to for that object will be ap- pended to the general treaty. It wiil be previously suo- mitted to the approval of the Powers who sign that treaty, and will have the same force, and be in every re- Spect considered as forming an integral part of tuat in- strument. Those stipulations or convention forming pert of the general treaty, and secured in the same mau- ver, rhs}l notbe altered, modified or cancelled without the previous assent of the Powers who sign the said general treaty. With respect to the closing of the Straits, the exception will be admitted as applicable to the Powers that possess territory on ‘he shores of the Black S¢a. a+ aliuced to in the preceding article. ‘The privileges, immupities and mghts of the non- Mussuliman subjects of *be Porte wil be confirmed, but without affecting the digvity and the independence of.

In addition to the above the belligereat Powers reserve to themseives the right to prope, in the general in- terest of Europe, special conditions besides the four guazantees. he representatives in Paris of aome of the States of Germany, and perbaps one or two Russian residents, are said to be cognizent of tne above. The same may, per- haps, be effrmed of the Be'gian government, At all avents, it is believed that the foregoing is a fair sum- mary ot the famous Austrian propositions, The War in Asia Minor. (From tke London fimos, Jan. 6.) The frontier fortress of Turkish Asia has surrendered, acd if the eremy make no further pr gress, iris owing more to the nature of the country, tne distance of the Russian resources, avd the bitter cold of those desolate higbispds, then to the presence of defenders. Moura- vieff may well declare that the Ottoman army opposed to him bas ceased to exist. The trocps under Selim Pasha, despatched by the Forte to the relief of the invested Flace, are safe in Erzeroum only because the Soghanli Tange of bills is at present almost impassal very where a speil bas seemed to bind the efforts of ies in the Amatic war. Omer PasLa knew that the fall of Kars had freed th army 0’ Mouravieff, and that, although the march of the Rustian General must be a work of great labor, and per- hepe impossible for bis whole army, yet in six weeks from Gerersi «Williams’ surrender @ Rus-ian force might be 1m the c: untry sufficient to des:roy his own. if he lin- gered ro tar in the interior. A successfal assault and tbe Gaptore vf Kuisis would barcly improve bis position, for the piace might be surrounded, no stock of provi- fions could be Jaid In, the country was hostile, sud in » thort tize Kutais must have fallen like Kars. It wi therefore but common prudence to hasten back to the coast, wuere a fortified position will protect his army until the enruing spring. It will then be seen how far it ie capable of turther operations. We row learn that Porte is intent on devising menns to check sny Russian advance. The hecong eg light troops may, with the returniog spring, ravage the coun- try up to the gater of Erzeroum. Of course the trade, which, though not large according to English notions, is yet of great importance to the East, is now at an end. Furtber conquest may be improbable, but yet the occu- tion of two provinces gives a high position to the Czar ie is bardly likely to yield Kilia and Ismail without a +troggie, when be bas the frontiers cf Perds and Tursey in bis hancs. It is said that 10,000 men will be detached from the a:my of Omer Pasha and will consentraie at Trebizonde. other troops wili join them, and then it is promised that something will be done. Now, one thing in periectly clear, that we are just whore we were s year since except that we have lost Kars. Ail ‘he obstacles te the lest Asiatic campaign will exist this year—the same difficulties must be overcome the same country and tl same military plans must ve studied. It is, therefore, with a view to practical resul's that the failure of last year may be examined witn edvac.age.

The United States and kK: (From the London Times, Jan, 6.)

The Effect of the War on Trade. (¥s0m the London Times, Jan. 5.) The influences of the present war upon the trade of this country are confised toa few simple elomenta of easy calculation. We are notin a deadly strife of a quarter of acen‘ury’s duration with our vearest neighbor. Our mercbantmen are nut watched by privateers as they Jeave port, nor 18 privateeriog a regular brauch of home enterprise. We have not to conten: with Milan ceeree: We ase not mad)y resolved to obtain an importan: im- port from no otber plece ‘hana few island: called our own sll Europe being equally resolved we aball not ob- tain i even from them. We are not waging war at once with the enemy ano with ourselves, tryicg whe'her peace or war shalldo us most harm. in otber respse's there isall the difference in the world between '16 and '65. In the iron trade, we are tld, “the past year has been avother of undoubted prosperity in this important branch ot our national industry.” Strangely enough, the trade has been affected by the war in contradictory ways a. the same tiwe. The price ot iron bas ri-en ai onca with the improved prospects of peace, the tightening of the moa marke!, and the heavy consumption for wac maééricl. The shipments to America have decreased, and those to France proportionaily inereased, rince the commence- mext of the war. The pievent price is high; the stuck is cmaller thar it bas been for wany years; aud trom the great seatof the iron shipbuiNing trade, on the Ciyée, we wre told that » greater smount of ‘tonnage has been built and leuccbed ia this than in any pie- vious year. Contracted with the great fluctuations of material which server altke the uses of peace and of war, and which mates at will either the rail or the cannon, “he wool trade,” it is stated, ‘ baa been characterized by ccmpa ative steadiness.” With the uncertain feeling produced by war, ip addition to dear fooi and dear mouey, the leading features have been great caution and a detire to avoic distant engagem-nte. Toe result is that stocks of woo’ and manuf ctured goods are now remark. abiy Nght, ard the general state of the woollen and worsted tredes is unceriably sound, The exports of manufectured woolleps bave somewhat decline, and tome branches of the home trace have been depresse’; bu. on the whole this department of industry has beea better suxtained than might have been expecte?, acd any Ciminution hae 'een more than compensated ty the immense demand for army clothing which hae eosorbed lerge- quanti'ie: of middie aud low kinds of woul, both at howe and on the contineat. Passing ou to Manchester manufactures, we find much the same story. Considering sll things, the present position of the martet cauvot but be regarded as remarkable, ani as affording conclusive testimony ia favor uf the sound- nes cf business tispeuctions. Tha storks of the general and staple productions of the district were seldom lover even ip the seasons of greatest activivy and ecterprise. Mos: of the mapufasturers ang sprovers are urder con- tracts for seme time to come. The past year may not huve been profi‘ab:e, but the caution which has limited enterprise is now having its due effect, and the manufac- turers cen lock into the dark future of the ensuiog year with even less distrus: than usual. ‘The shipping trade appears to have undergone less fluctustion than in many years of peace. At tne begia- ning of the war there was an imwevee demand for largs s.eamers, and the packet and postal services were de- ranged in consequence; but, happily, the transport ser- vice bas been reduced to some birg like method, and ‘ewer hips answer the purpose On the strength of the Dpusuel cemand ‘art year, toe shipbuilding trade has Trace 6 great start, and itis only to be hoped that em. ployment will te found fort, The number of irca ves- rela is ray idiy inciessing.

The Sucz Canal Project—Proceedings of the Comp tissioners. The Courrier de Marseille, of the 84 of Jannary, pab- lishes the teliowivg letter, dated Suez, 19th ult.:— Tre Intermativral Commueioners sect to survey the line of the projected canai across the Isthaus of Sucz errived here on the 16th, after a journey in Upper Egypt, where the Viceroy had requested them to atasy the beat raster of irrigation tor thet country and Middle Egypt.

SEIZING A LAGERBIER HOUSK—LIST OF CONTENTS —TKIAL UNDER THE LIQUOR LAW. [From the Norwich Courier, Jaa. 19.] Yerterouy aud the day before were rather exciting dwys im this ciiy. The energetic movements of the friends of temperance, for the ruppression of & widely extended and organized crinking club, crested n> smail stir exnorg the people, Au asse ‘ion existe tp thia city under the tile of the “German Singing Society, Orpheus,” an assoctation powerfol in numbers, (and embracing iu its catalogue ‘of membership nota few persons claimi og 8 miable standing in the communtty,) combined iuto » club for Grinking purpores, The professed objest of the society wae the cultivation cf the art of music. In its origia such was its object, and eo long an memberehip was limited to the Germine the purpose for which ‘80 ciety was institated seems to have been practically ad- hhered ‘0. But in an evil hour « change look place, not a cbarge in the provisions of the writien constitution of the soclery—that, we believe remained the same—but in a Sinan of the society as made up of living members. Not very long after the passage of the Maine law the strength ¢f the koviety pak ag be increased by the ad- misicn of American members. These paid, each, one doiar and fifty cents initation fee, and twenty-five cents per month for every month thereafter. German members, on the other hand, at least most of them, ee for musica! Bespoees, paid only one dollar each initiation fee, (hough the menthiy dues were twenty-tive cevisesch. ‘ihe singing membere— all Germans—were styled “eective members.” The other members—mostiy Americans—wers denominated ‘passive members’? ‘Their buriness was to drivk, and to see what they drauk was “good quar,” thet there was plecty of it, and that it was to be hac whenever calied fo Swe bers” came together at the club room, two or three even ings iu the week for musical practice, The “passive members” frequented the room at all hours of the day, and pretty much ali hours of the night, for driakiog practico—scme of the more ac'ive of the "paselve mes ters’ eviveing their ardor in che liquor practice by visite varyicg in number from one io sight or ten times per day.

But through ail this attempted fog and mystification, the facts ftood out promievt and clear, that the mem bers of the Society visited Kottman’s bar (kept in one of the rooms ot the Club) as they woul) have done any otber bar, paying fer their liquor when they drank it, 4 at prices correspond ng ‘o otber bars.
