Nkw York, April 22.?Tlio Steamer Nash
ville, chartered by the Collins company in place
of the steamer Pacific, arrived here at noon to
day. She arrived out at Liverpool on the 3d,
at noon, and left Liverpool at 3 P. M. on the
7th instant, bringing Liverpool and Loudon
papers of the same date, and about filly pas
sengers.
The secoud day out from New York, on her
outward passage, Mrs. Rose Riley, one of the
passengers by tho Nashville, suddenly disap
peared, and is supposed to have thrown herself
overboard.
The week's news may be briefly summed up
thus: Political affairs are just where they were
at the period of the closing of previous ac
counts, except that the feeling becomes stronger
that nothing is left but to fight out tho difficulty.
The adjournment of the Conference until tbe
yth was to await the Russian ultimatum and
the arrival of the French and Turkish Ministers
of Foreign affairs at Vienna.
The Nashville reports passing the steamer
Africa entering Liverpool, as she passed out on
Saturday afternoon.
The U. S. corvette St. Louis had arrived at
Gibraltar from the Levant, and sailed the same
day for the United States.
The Conference.
The Vienna Conference having adjourned
until the 8th, there is no news of importance
from that point. The consideration of the
Third Point was to be the first subject before
the Conference on re-assembling. Public
opinion is about equally divided as to the final
result.
Ali Pacha arrived at Vienna on Friday, and
would take part in the future discussions of the
Conference.
A despatch from Berlin, dated Friday, April
fith, states that the Russian party there is pre
dominant, and that Prussia will probably throw
herself into the arms of the Czar, in case of an
unfavorable result of the conference.
From the Crimea.
There had been a succession of sanguinary
conflicts between the French'and Russians be
fore Sebastopol, for the possession of rifle am
buscade pits, with varying successes, and much
loss of life. The lutest battle, which took place
on the night of the 25th ultimo, put 3,000 men
hora dn combat. There are no details.
Owing to the Easter holidays there is little
other news. Parliament was not in session.
The Russians and the Allies in the Crimea
are strengthening their positions, preparatory
to the opening of the spring campaign.
A council of war was held by the Allies on
the 12th ultimo, at which Omar Pacha desired
the assistance of the allies, which could not be
granted. The Turks are only expected to hold
Eupatoria, acting merely on the defensive.
On the 18th ultimo, large reinforcements of
Russian troops entered Sebastopol.
General Canrobert states that in the attack
of the 22d and 23d of March, the Russians lost
2,000 men, and the Allies GOO.
The conference at Vienna met on the 2d in
stant, and then adjourned to the !?th, when the
<"zar's ultimatum was expected to be received.
Tlie Baltic Expedition.
A portion of the Haltic fleet sailed on the
afternoon of the 4th.
The Russians have established two fortified
? iimps of 30,000 men each, for the defense of
the Haltic provinces. They have also block
aded all their ports bv sunken vessels.
KNULAND.
Parliament was not in session, having ad
journcd for the Easter holidays, and would re
assemble on the Kith.
The London Times devotes a leading edito
rial article to the defense of the Know-nothing
movement in the United States.

New York, April 22, p. m.?After a general
search of the papers brought by the Nashville, j
the following special dispatch for the Sun is
made up:
A careful reading of the accounts exhibits
little hope of an early peace. The Emperor
Alexander is evidently preparing for a despe
rate struggle?one hundred and forty thousand
men have been marched to the neighborhood
of the Baltic. .Two fortified camps of sixty i
thousand are established between Riga, Narra, j
and Revel. The approaches to all the northern
seaport towns are being blocked up with sun
ken vessels. Heavy batter s are erecting at
Oanamunda. The Grand Duke Constantine i
has gone to Cronstadt to inspect the coast of
the Gulf of Findland. Russian reinforcements i
to the number of fifteen thousand arrived at
S<'bastopol on the 18th.
Previous to the adjournment of the Vienna
conference, the Russian Plenipotentiaries re
fused to admit "that in accepting the third
point they have acknowledged the principle of
n diminution of the Russian power in the Rlack
Sea; asserting at the same timo that the demand
for the reduction of the Russian fleet is con
trary to the dignity and sovereign right* of the
Emperor." Nesselrode will attend the confer
ence during the discussion of the third point.
It is rumored that the allies will, for the pur
pose of meeting this difficulty, propose to ex
clude all ships of war from the Black Sea.
Austria differs with the allies regarding the
Black Sea question. It is reported that she
will remain neutral should the allies demand
the destruction of Sevastopol, and she declares
that she entered upon th? present arrangements
with the allies for the purpose of checking not
crippling Russia.
It is almost certain that Russia will refuse
the third point.
The Russians in the Crimea still occupy the
ambuscade which the French attacked unsuc
cessfully. On the 18th the allies expected to
commence operations.
Omar Pasha, on the 3d, had 24,000 men re
connoitering the position of the Russians on
the Alma.
All the allied ships of war at Constantinople
are ordered to Sebastopol.
The Austrian army of observation is drawing
closer to the Pruth and the Danube.
Fearful Steamboat Kxploviou?Teu Mei*
Killed and six Other* Wounded.
Detroit, April 20.?The propeller Oregon,
of Cleverland, exploded her boiler this morn
ing, when about four miles above this place.
Ten men were killed, among whom were W. J.
Chapman, the lirst engineer of the boat; Thus.
Donnelly, the second engineer; Edw. McBride
and Wm. Reid. The names of the others are
unknown.
Captain Stewart had one of his legs broken,
and live or six others were more or less wounded.
The propeller was completely shattered, and
sunk shortly after the disaster. The loss, how
ever, does not exceed $8,000, for which there is
no insurance.
The explosion was caused by a defect in the
boiler.

Neccssurlc* of Lilt'i?The New York Cuuriei
and Enquirer having made bume inquiries Willi
respect to I lie present supply hiiiI <|uantit y to come
forward, ot agricultural product*, particularly of
the vegetable kingdom. hazard* the opinion that
prices have reached their highest figures. The
next movement, the t-diiur says, will undoubtedly
be a retrograde one, although present prices may
be maintained two or three weeks.
In looking over our exchange papers, we per
ceive tLat prices of produce are exorbitant in all
the principal cities of the Union, and even in many
country towns. This is not the result of scarcity
so much as the prevalent spirit of monopoly.
That there maybe a "retrograde movement," a
coming down of prices,' every housekeeper ar
dently hopes. Instead, however, of a fall of the
tariff, or tax, on the "inner man" in this city,
there is an increase. The best butter from forty
four to filly cents a pound ; potatoes, from two to
two dollars and a half per bushel; Hour, best fam
ily, thirteen dollars u bariel?perhaps it has risen
in price since, two days ago, we made the in
quiry?and beef from fourteen to sixteen cents a
pound. Every other urlicle of domestic comfort
is proportionately high. It costs twice as much to
keep house now as it did two years ago. No one
can perceive a necessity, or a sufficient reason, for
the present excessive rales.
We. in common with all other consumers, fer
vently trust that the prediction of the editor of the
New York Courier and Enquirer will be realized.
May the glad day soon come.
Court of Claims.?It was expected, ere this
time, that the Court of Claims, authorized by a
law of the late Congress, would be organized j but
thejitdges are slow in assembling for that pur
pose, and we have heard of many complaints in
consequence.
The business to be transacted in this court will I
be immense, judging from the number of datum j
which have, during ilie last half century, been i
presented either to Congress or tin- Departments, I
and have failed ol favorable action. Many of the
most eminent lawyers l.ave ^iven notice to the
pulilic that they will practice in that court, and
solicit employment in ihe line of their profession. 1
Gentlemen heretofore holding high positions under
the Federal Government are among ihe sol citorsj
some of them forming ci partnerships in order the j
better to accomplish iheir purposes. In this con- I
uectiou, we would refer our readers to the respec
tive advertisements, in the iSeutin/l, of J. D. B. be
Bow; Brown,. Stanton, and Walker; Sherman
and Walker; and M. Thompson, who will pi no
tice in the new court
Tlie Slander Suit.?The case of William T.
Dove against J. H. McBlair, ihe trial of which was
commenced in the Circuit Court on Wednesday
last, was concluded yesterday morning. The
slander, as charged by the plaintiff, consisted in
the defendant's circulating in 1S52, and subse
quently, a report that he was not purely a white
man, but was tainted with African blood. The
jury consisted of the following named gentlemen :
Francis J. Murphy, William Miles, George Cran
dell, John Davis, Peter Hepburn, James B. Hol
mend, Jacob Harsham. Patrick McKenna, Charles
F. Wood, James W. Watson, John Waters, and
James Fullalove.
They were absent in the jury room only a few
minutes, wben they returned and rendered a ver- I
diet for the plaintiff, awarding the full ninoimt of i
the damages claimcd: ten thousand dollars.
The following entry was the.n directed to be
made on the record :
"The plaintiff, in open court, directs that this i
judgment be entered to the use of Richard Wal
lach. trustee, to apyly the proceeds to the pay
ment aud reimbursement of the costs and expenses I
of the suit, and the residue to be divided equally
between the two orphan asylums of the city of
Washington. "J.M.CARLISLE.
"W. D. DAVIDGE."
We may here remark that the counsel for the
defendant (Messrs Bradley and Chilton) have
taken exceptions to the ruling on several points I
of law.
The National Monument.?The new board
of managers of ihe Washington Naiionnl Monit- '
ment Society have issued a^i address to the people j
of the T'nited Stales asking for funds with which '
I to complete the monument. They say that they '
come into office tinder unfavorable auspices, and
with well-founded hopes of means to prosecute
ihe work. Since iheir election, on the 22d of
February last, they say they have not been idle,
and that their arrangements have been begun and
arc now in progress. All cnuses of differences
between them and the old hoard have, as they
hope, been removed, and they will immediately go
to work. They appeal ?o the people for money, j
and ask no legislative aid.
The original estimate ot the cost of the whole' I
work, (the shaft, the base, and the ornaments)
part,) exceeded $1,222,000 ; S230,000, the product
of voluntarily contributions alone, has been ex
pended.and the monument now risen in its simple
but grand proportions, white marble, one hundred
and fifty-two and a half feet above the blue-stone '
base, which is sunk eight feet below the surface, I
and is seventeen and a half feel above the sur- '
rounding earth.
Wood and Chrlaty'a Minstrels made their
first appearance in this city, last night, to a densely i
crowded auditory, at Iron Hall, or the People's
Theatre. They presented a rich musical and j
terpsichorean melange. A company so celebrated '
need nu extra commendation from us; the name '
ulune is significant of fun, melody, and humor. '
For eight years they performed in New York with
out intermission, and were the standing musical
attraction. Since their hall in that city was burned
down, in December last, they have perfbrmed in
Philadelphia and Baltimore. To-night they offer
an entire change of programme. Iu the peculiar
line of their profession, it is admitted that they
have no superior*, nor equals. A funny, musical
set of fellows they are, and great ia the excite
ment which they have already produced among
tho*e of our residents who are, mor* especially,
the patrons of such diversions.
Jamestown siorlety.?At the recent meeting
of this society, the following named officers were
elected:-P. R. Kendall, president; General A.
Henderson, vice president; John T. Towers, trea

Ilev. T. B. Balch, corresponding secretary ; Wm.
I M. Overton, Wd|. Towers, Thomas J. Massie, '
Thomas Lumpkin, and L. Q. Washington, execu
tive committee. And at the adjourned meeting,
held on Saturday evening, on motion of Major
James VI. M< Hae, the following resolutions were
unaniinousy adopted:
Re wived, That we deeply deplore the removal
from time to eternity of our esteemed friend and
brother member, John W.Maury, a gentleman
who had ever at heart the honor and slory of his
native Stste. and that we shall ever hold in remem
brance his honorable bearing and unsullied worth.
Ketolrrd. That a copy of this resolution be
transmitted to the family of our deceased friend.
Change of Hour*?Travelers shonld bear in
mind that the time for departure in the rnilroad
cars has been changed. They leave the station
in this city, for Baltimore, at six and eight and a
half o'clock in the morning, and at three and half
past four in the afternoon. On Sundays at six in
the morning and at half-past four o'clock in (he
afternoon only.
Large ?In consequeuce of the violent '
gnle on Friday eveniug, Mr. Fitzhugh (oyle met
wiiii a large loss according to toe following facts:
A canal boat laden with guano belonging to him
was coming up the river, and was blown with*
great vjolence against the Virginia draw, which
? lie struck with great force, and sunk. 1 he water
penetrating the bags of guano, as a matter ol
course a great quantity was utterly ruined. I lie
loss is estimated at $2,000*?AwuricaH Organ.
Accident.?On Saturday afternoon, Mr. Thomas
'Stanley, while engaged in his business as a pain
ter, broke his thigh bone?the plank on which he
wus standing having purled beneath his weiglit.
and precipitated him down the steps leading to
the basement-story of the house at the corner of
C and Four-and-a-h ill streets. As this gentle
man is about seventy-two years of age, his recov
ery from the effects of llie fall is thought to be ex
tremely doubtful.
Sabbath School Celebration.?There will bo
a graud annual Sabbath School celebration in this
city on the third Monday in May next. I lie ad

It is always u gratifying spectacle to see glad
little folks, neatly dressed, marching through
the streets, with their various banners, to the
tit rains of instrumental music. Such exhibitions
never fail to inspire admiration, and to add new
friends to the heaven-bless-cl cause ot Sabbath
schools.
