Omar Fasba had go&o to the Oriosea to attend a council of war. Hif forces are expected to go to the Crimea. MensobikofT had been. partially re enforced. S econd D ispatch .-*—Keports have again been circulated simultaneously in Vienna, Paris *nd London, of the • fell of Sevastopol, and large stock ope rations are said to have been made on faith of the statement; but the public were slow to believe. The govern- ment employees say that serious intel ligence must not be looked for before the beginning of Nov. Odessa dates to the Sth say that Gortschakofif ^as at that place, and Menscbikoff could not maintain his po sition at Bakshiserai. He had sent his army to Sevastopol and gone to Pero- kop. A large portion of the Baltic fleet had returned to Charboury. . A rumor was current that the Dan ish government would probably permit the British fleet to winter at Kail. The Journal of St. Petersburg of the 18th contains a telegraphic dispatoh from Vienna, stating that the Gonnnis- lioners of the Western Powers and, of Austria and Turkey had met at Con stantinople to aid the question of Pro tectorate on the basis of the proposal made by the Austrian cabinet. The British Parliament is further prorogued to the 18th of Nov, V ienna , 19—-The German press everywhere gives indications of an ap proaching rupture between Austria and Prussia. Great anxiety exists at Ber lin. The Arabia arrived at Sandy Hook, at T o'clock this morning, and brings 173 passengers, among whom are Cap tain Gibson, of Dutch East Indies no- tory. The Arabia left Liverpool at 11 A. M. of the gist. On the 28d at 3 A. M., saw the America bound for Liverpool. Same day at 11 A.

The national subscription for the sick and wounded reached sefi.OOO and a regiment of women has been organized as nurses to be immediateiy sent to Scutaria. The Court Martial on Sir Edward Belcher had terminated. In the case of Capt. McClure and the other officers tried, the verdict was that they are honorably acquitted. ^ The British steamers Gauge and Per sian, with troops On board, came in vio lent collision on. the Sea of Mamora, and were badly damaged. An Officer was crushed to death in his berth. Nothing of political interest from France.

The returns for Lieutenant Governor are so meagre, that we can hardly find sufficient basis for a conjecture,although the contest seems mainly to be between Ludlow, democrat, and Brigadier Gua!» tavus Adolphus Scroggs, the Know Nothing candidate. IHB BBST7DX IN THE COtHff?. Sufficient returns hare been received from the different Towns in the County, to show that the entire Democratic County ticket has been elected—al. though part of it by greatly reduced ma jorities—owing to the fact that the Know Nothings united, with the Whigs on some of the candidates. We regret to state that the regular Democratic Candidate for Memhk of Assembly, in the firat District,; (Mr. Coppernoliy): has been defeated. Ed mund G.

At lak the ehterfaihing ganger guest departed^ and poor Mr. Kelley soon after feeling for his segai case, with which to solace himself in hi# bereavement, found that, too, had departed, and with it §48 in bills, and $1,200 worth of notes on the New Yor^ & Erie Railroad Company.

Itls such k conimoQ thing to read in tho-south- Irti-papers unqualified denunciations of free that we confess to have looked i over the following paragraph from a Marietta paper, Georgia, a sec ond time, to le® whether it was origin al or only an extract. Wa found it to be editorial, however, and were glad to note .so much good sense in that region.. Thewritcrsays;— ** Why will the Southern Press j^er- fist in misrepresenting northern peopled What doe# the south ask than freesoUism concedes, “respect for our rights in the Hnion and equality of rights in the territories?” We know there are people at ihe north who hate slavery as much as aotne of oUr south ern friends recently hated the Union; but we should also know that they pos sess just about as much ability to give effect to their hatred. “ With no. sort of justice, can it be said th a t. opposition . to the Nebraska territorial law is an abolition move ment.; In nine cases in ten it has re sulted from what was regarded as the impolicy of superseding a long estab lished law, the terms of which had set tled the legal rights, of free states with regard to the territory in question. ” We have no doubt of the fact that all tho: people of tbh free states are freesoilers, and just As naturally free- soilcrs as that we are the friends, of the :— ---- x-.i ----- - V* ^ ghit has institntiott of slavery.

This is the true basis of-.public opinion at the North on the subject of slavery. That such an opinion can'erec produce a cri sis between the free and slave, states. Involving an abandonment of southern rights or a dismemberment of the Union we do hot believe. We CAhUpt see why the south may not tolerate tbe'freedom ,of such opinfbns, especially as they are atrictly^coropatible'with the prot^tioh Which tfie con^itution affords us.[* N ew RouTEToCAhiPOBNiA.—AUtah oorreipondent of the St. Louis Repub- Kch«»iAjs'that Lieut, Beckwith has suc ceeded in jfinding a new route from Great.

It is proposed to issue an address to the Whigs throughout the State, in which* the principles of the National Whig-\party will be plainly declared, expressing a decided opposition to the Nebraska Bill as a violation of the Mis souri Compromise, and adhering to the Whig principles established by the Na tional Convention at Baltimore la 1852, 'pledging ourselves to oppose all propo sitions for the fusion of the Whig party With any other for the purpose of form ing a Sectional party based upon the agitation# of the day. ' The time for decisivekcGon has ar- rivedi and tbefooming winter will de- terniine whether a NatibnAl Whig par ty Shall exist. ' Should your views co incide with those herein expressed, be pleased to forward yOUr name, together with the names of such other reliable men in your* fieighboiiiood as you may select, ,to James Kidd, i^sq., of this city; without delay, that they may be printed with the address.

The young man, kowever, “rather liking it,’’ concluded *to keep on the voyage, and accordingly cut tba ropes. He sailed nbout at a great height for over an hour, and then landed in perfect safety. Those who wituessed the performance, expected every moment to see him fall from the balloon, but they were mistaken, as his ^cdhffdehce never forsook him, 0p“ A man named Ichabod Miller, an old resident of Buffalo, has been ar rested as a manufacturer of bogus coin. The Commetciol ‘says the evidence against him is quite conclusive, and that he vrill doubtless be convicted. Miller is commonly known by the name of •; Bud Miller.” He was a candidate for the office of Chief of Police—a good occupation for^^such a man.

The Kathleen laid there until the 22d iilt., and no news came of the lost boat.— The Kathleen then left and stood oqt to sea, and the next day at 9 A. M. Capt. Allen discovered with his glass from the deck, a boat; with a piece of sail floating from the mast, and imme diately hoisting his colors, he bore down, and found the lost boat lull of water, the oars lashed across to keep her from upsetting, and' th®^ six men eitiing in the water up to their arm-pits, two, Harry Rider, boat-steerer, from West ern Islands, and William 3mith, a Ger man, having died the night previous, the other four being; alive but unable to speak. Captain Allen was forced to pry open the mouth of one willr a spoon to get nourishment down him. They had been'four flays and nights in the water of their boat, without a morsel to, eator drink.. In-fourteen hours after picking them up Capt..

When nearing the bridge, he discovered that all did not appear right, and immedi ately reversed the fenglne, and put on the brakes, and succeeded in stopping the train just as the fore-wheels of the locomotive ran on the bridge. 'TIT g bridge gave way under the locomotive, and fell about three feet, and caught upon some Umbers, which sustained thp .weight until the locomotive was lifted and'backed off. One minute more and the whole train must have been precip itated a distance of some sixty feet in to a rocky ravine. About two hundred pa.«ssengers were on the train. The bridge was being repaired, and was sup ported by temporary props, which could not possibly have borne up under the train. The engineer and fireman jumped from the locomotive at the moment the wheels struck the bridge, and escaped with a few slight bruises from the fall. No notice had been given at the stations on either side of the bridge that it was undergoing repairs; and but for the courage and decision of .the. engineer, we should ere this doubtless have re corded a repetition of the dreadful oc currence on the Great Western Rail- Is S evastopol .E asy to T axe I^^® many think that the capture of the Fortress of Sevastopol by the allied forces is a very easy matter, itmdy not be uninteresting- to- show. how*, long places much Weaker than this is repre sented to be, have held out against su-| pefior numbers on the side of the i be- Seiging force. \Wo might? commence with TFcy, but examples suffieieht a re on record of seiges during the present century. . . - i Genoa in 1809 sustained a blockade, of sixty and a seige of forty days.
