B3T The latest foreign adviccs are by the Atlantic, with Liverpool dates to the 23d of February. The news is highly important. The GY.ir has refused unequivocally the propositions made by the allied powers, and everything is in preparation for war on a gigantic scale. The reply of the Russian Emperor to Louis ^Napoleon is couched in such contemptous language, that it is said the French Emperor has prohibited its 'publication in Paris. England sends 30,000 men (instead of 10,000) immediately, toco-operate with the Turks and it is also stated that unless Austria immediately takes

Dr. Alfred Kelley of Ladoga, to whom a cask containing the body of a dead man, was labeled, as discovered, and opened in Madison a few days ago, about which some excitement has prevailed, makes the following explanation of the circumstances

of the case. The body was a subject purchased by him of the janitor of the Louisville medical college, some three weeks ago, the janitor purchasing it from the hospital of that city, under the municipal regulations of the city council, and to the knowledge of the medical faculty of that college. The subject was as is usual prepared, its arteries being nnlomically injected, and put up in alcohol in a cask, as was found. In the process of injection, the neck arteries were split to admit the chemical matter. The Dr. procured the subject from authorities who had a right to furnish subjects of this kind, so there was no body killed after all.

Col. WJLLSOS'S lecture before the

Mechanics' Institute on Thursday evening, was well attended considering the inclemency of the weather. The ideas he adranced on the very interesting subject of Russia, were by no means commonplace. The lecturer took a highly interesting historical view of that immense and singularly constructed political establishment. He repudiated Voltaire's theory of the Russian orijgin, and substituted that it was of Sclavonian extraction. He brought us on down through the respective reigns of her many sovereigns to the wonderful workings of the present great incumbent Nicholas.

FROM WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, March 4.

SENATE.—The Senate continued in session all night, and at five o'clock this morning the Nebraska bill passed by a vote of 37 yeas to 14 nays.

The debate was very warm and exciting, during which high words passed between Messrs. Wade, Chase, Seward, and Sumner, and the advocates of the bill.

Mr. Chase characterized the bill as a bid for the Presidency on the part of its author. Mr. Douglas replied, and in reference to Mr. Chase said, that he (Douglas), had never held an office, nor did he get into the Senate by corrupt bargains he did not become a Senator by putting his principles, character and honor up at public auction for votes he (Mr. Douglas) owed his place to no corrupt bargaining.

Mr. Weller—But others do. Mr. Chase—Do you say I came here by corrupt bargain?

Mr. Douglas—I object to all interference in the matter. Mr. Chase—Do you say I came here by a corrupt bargain?

Mr. Douglas—I said that the man who charged me with having brought in this bill as a bid for the Presidency, did come here by corrupt bargain. Did you (addressing Mr. Chase) mean me? If so, then I mean you.

Mr. Chase—I say to the Senator, that if he savs I came here by corrupt.bargain, he says that which is false.

Mr. Douglas—It will not do to retort the charge of falsification by his statement against the one I have fastened upon him by facts. I charge him with having made false statements in regard to me and ray motives. I have given him two opportunities to withdraw them, and he has not had the manliness to do it.

Mr. Chase explained, that he did not consider the ambition to be President an unworthy one, and the reference was not made in any offensive sense towards the Senator.

Mr. Weller defended Mr. Chase from the charge of corruption. Mr. Chase said he was a party to no arrangement, and none existed there were three parties in the Legislature—Whigs, Freesoilers and Old Line Democrats, and he got the vote of all the Old Line Democrats and Democratic Freesoilers, but no Whig votes.

Mr. Sumner sharply replied to Mr. Douglas' imputation that Mr. Chase got to the Senate by unworthy means, and said the Senator stated that which he could notsustainby facts. lie said that Mr. Chase never sought the office he now held in any

rectly, to the effort which put him into the position.

Mr. Douglas replied: The gentleman says he had nothing to do with the corrupt coalition and bargain by which he was elected to the Senate. Oh, no! he did not steal the money he only took it when it

it^The Board of Directors of the Evansville, Indianapolis, and Cleveland Straight Line Railroad Company, held their quarterly session at the office of the Company, last week. We learn that the affairs of the company are in a very prosperous condition, and highly satisfactory to the directory. Dr. Leslie, of Petersburgh, was elected a Director to fill a vacancv. Judge Harden one of the Directors, was appointed Collector, in aid of the Treasurer. The local stock of the Company, as reported, was £1,060,000. The letting of the first general section of 54 miles from Evansviile to the crossing of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad was reported. The directors were sanguine as to large increase of stock on the hne. The books were ordered to remain open, for subscriptions in real estate and cash, until the next session of the board, in May. The line of the road was permanily located through the cities of Evansville and Lamasco, on Divisionist. The free use of the street and the wharf granted by the cities, was accepted by the board. A large amount of business was transacted, and after highly encouraging addresses, from the President and Vice President, the Board adjourned, and the directors returned to their several counties on the line, with entire confidence, and a full determination to press forward until the work shall be completed.—Statt Sentinel.

WASHINGTON, March 6.

(The Senate is not in session.) HOUSE.—The House went into Commitce on the Homestead bill, and a number of amendments were adopted. The Commitee arose and reported the bill to the House when a motion to lav it on the table was rejected by a vote of 60 to 124.- The question on the first amendment, restricting the benefit of the bill to free white persons, was taken up and adopted-yeas 101, nays 78.-

The bill passed—yeas 107, nays 72.

THE EASTERX QUESTION. Since the Russians crossed the river Pruth, they have suffered a loss of thirtysix thousand men. Disease, the southern sun, the maddend energies of the defenders of the Mohammedon religion, and the engineers of France and England, the elements before which even the power of Russia must fall. The crime which Russia attempts to blacken the noon of the nineteenth century, is almost without a parallel in history. Alone, it will be handed down to the latest generations, as an evidence of the audacity of European absolutists, and the supineness of the masses over whom they play the tyrant. The day of retribution is at hand. Austria aud Prussia will maintain a position of apparent neutrality, but France and England have signified their determination to support the government Of the Ottoman. The late battles in the regions of the Caucasus and the Black Sea furnish conclusive evidence that the cause of Turkey will triumph, if the Sultan shall only insist upon his undoubted right to maintain the dignity of his empire. Meantime, a very important question has arisen in regard to that Union which has been effected between the cabinets of England and France in prosecuting the war against Russia.— Lord Clarendon, declared a short time since as the representative of the Court of Victotoria, that the unity of action which had been determined upon between the governments of England and France does not have referance merely to the settlement of the Russo-Turkish "difficulties, but is intended to be operative upen both hemispheres, and in regard to all subjects whatever.— There can be no mistake in regard to the meaning of the British diplomatist the questions outside of Constantinople alluded to, are no oilier than those involving the interests of Cuba, the Sandwich Islands, and Central America. In view of the bold and uncompromising declaration of Clarendon, we are glad to see that that time-honored patriot, Lewis Cass, and othar leading Democrats in Congress, have taken active steps to secure an expression from both branches of the National Legislature of the absolute and unqualified right of this government to regulate, without the aid of foreign diplo-

mists, all political questions whatever arising upon this continent. European diplomacy should be regulated by European tribunals, but we are the sole and absolute arbiters of affairs iu the west.
