The late Abolition demonstration in New I York, at the Tabernacle and in the Park, •were a motley of miserable traitors and blasphemous knaves. The whole dish ofj stuff, as given in the Tribune, was like one in Alucbeth:

As a specimen of the virulance which inspires their oratory, we quote the remarks of a fellow named WRIGHT:

HORRIBLE OI TRAGE BY INDIANS. One of most shocking outrages of the time was perpetrated within twenty miles of San Antonio, Texas, a few days ago, upon a family named FORUKSTER. A San Antonio paper says a party of armed citizens went out to the scene of the bloody tragedy, and describes it:

On arriving at the house they meta sight too horrible to relate. The father was lying in the door, shot through the J.ieart,

scalped, and the top part of his head cut

the body with a large knife. One was missing, a boy about six years old, which they evidently had taken with them. The mother distinctly remembers of seeing her eldest daughter trying to defend herself with a knife, and the same knifo was near her when she was found.

The "HAVE NOTHINGS."—A new society has been formed ta Washington, and there is material in every city in the Union to make it the most extensive body in the country.. The new order is called the ,'IJave ^ofhings." The password which gains admittance the initiated, is "Ary Red?" to which the reply must he, after an honest examination of the pocket., "Nary Red," and he is forthwith in full fellowship.

From tlio London Times.

We receive the intelligence of the bombardment of Odessa with feelings which are not unmixed with regret. It was to be expected that the first great operation of war in which the combined fleets now in the Black Sea were engaged would inflict a severe blow on the enemy, and would prove with what overwhelming force the

Dundas were of the most effective charac-

upon a commercial city, rather than a military or naval port. We are satisfied, however, that the Russian authorities in Odessa are to blame for

steamer Furious, with a flag of truce.) The town of Odessa was founded by Catherine lid., after she had extended her dominions, in 1792, to the banks of the Dniester, and in GO years it has became the emporium of the trade of Southern Russia. Its population, exclusive of the garrison, exceeds 70,000.

The town is built on cliffs, which rise to a considerable height above the sea, and form a sort of amphitheatre round the bay. It is fortified according to the modern principles of defence, and the citadel, on the east side of the lown, commands the port.

The port itself is formed by two large moles, one of which is regularly defended by a parapet, with embrasures for cannon. The anchorage in the bay is good, and the water so deep that vessels of the first class lies within reach of the shore.

It seems, however, by the brief account which has reached us from Vienna, that the only practicable harbor was attacked on the 23d by nine steamers of the fleet, and that one small battery was destroyed, and the ships in the harbor burnt.

It is added that the city was bombarded with shells and rockets for ten (or as another account says, two) hours but this information has probably been transmitted to Vienna through Russia.:-4,

That the processions and ceremonies, usual among foreign religions, shall be forbidden, &c. That persons converted from the religion of the State shall be punished."

The speech is well calculated to arrest the attention of the civilized world. It comprehends in its review all those nations, whether Catholic or Protestant, which have made themselves obnoxious in this respect. It is to be hoped that the movement which Gen. Cass has set afoot will lead to some

most despicable of all tyrannies, because imposed in the name of a religion whose every principle, precept and sympathy is antagonistical to and condemnatory of such barbarian practices. It is a relic of the dark ages of

Christianity

which we hope to

see ere long banished from the world. We agree in the sentiment of the following exO O tract from the speech: 'It would be hard to satisfy me, that firm remonstrances, in a kind spirit, on this subject of religious freedom, will be permanently unsuccessful. I do not believe a word of this. Since I have been upon the theatre of action, the progress of human opinion has wrought more changes in the physical and moral condition of society, than were witnessed for ages preceding that era. No man can set bounds to this mighty agent, and I bless God, that though I am full of years, I am full ofhope, looking forward with confidence to other and yet mightier triumphs, more glorious than those of the battle field, and which will go far to reclaim the human family from political and religious thraldom from intellectual ignorance, and from physical want. Governments cannot now do deeds of darkness darkly. Their inmost recesses are penetrated by the light of public information. And their doings and their designs are laid open to the gaze of the world. There are no veiled prophets now to assume and hold power by mysterious pretensions, nor prisoners with iron masks to wear out their lives in confinement, and whose names and whose offences are equally unknown. There is, indeed, no want of tyranny, but it docs its work openly. No nation can isolate itself from the common observation of mankind. The world is watching, judging, and approving or condemning, as the course of public measures is just or unjust. No peeple can withdraw themselves from this great scrutiny. No system of despotism can close its boundaries to the access of this mighty engine.— And sooner or later it will finish, and well finish the work it is now doing.

We trust for the honor of humanity, and

the best good of Christianity, that all the

dried up and exhausted, when, at the revival of learning, the German race commenced the study of antiquity. The Christian religion and classical literature, appreciated and adopted by a race of diflerent character and capacity and more inherent energy than those among whom they first appeared, caused a new, and, until then, unknown species of civilization to start into life and modern literature, art, science and politics are the still expanding result.— Most that is peculiar in modern civilization is the fruit of this principle of race. The influence of Teutonic blood is felt in all western Europe, the most enlightened part of the world, and crossing the Atlantic in our Anglo-Saxon ancestors, it has laid, on this continent, the foundation of a might}* empire. Reviving all that was valuable in the ancient civilizations, it has superadded new elements of its own, which render modern life and modern history richer and more complex than any thing the world has yet seen. The great things of which this race is capable are still in the course of development, and long ages wjll probably roll by before its vigor is exhausted-

While the great Teutonic branch of the human family is thus demonstrating the immense influence of race in moulding the destiny of the world, another great people has reached that stage of maturity at which it must bear abundant fruit of some kind, and probably introduce into modern civilization new elements which will still farther modify its character. The Slavonic race, which is certainly destined to exert a great, perhaps an overshadowing influence in history, is now only beginning to make the world sensible of its importance. Nearly a hundred millions of people, homogeneous in race, language and religion, the three important elements of national unity, and occupying territories which comprise about one tenth of the land on the globe, must make a great figure in history. So immense a body just budding into national manhood cannot but be developed into something gigantic. We think no person can rise from the perusal of Count GUROWSKI'S book on Russia without a deep impression of the incalculable importance of the Slavonic race in the future course of the world's affairs. We have no space to re-produce his reasoning, but cannot forbear to quote the following passage, which expresses one of its results:

The empire of the Ottomans at least in Europe, is rapidly approaching its end no human aid can preserve it, and the real question is, what banner shall, finally, be implanted on the walls of Constantinople? It is Russia, and Russia alone, which for more than a hundred years, has uninterruptedly drawn nearer and nearer, with a bold, aggressive, and steady pace. It is an old struggle often renewed. It began nearly ten centuries ago, not between Turks and Russians, not between Christians and Moslems, but between Byzantium and its Emperors and Kieff and its Grand Dukes. At that time the heathen Ros more than once appeared in view of the imperial city, and his savage war-whoop often startled its purple-born masters. We have already mentioned that old chroniclers, Armeniaus and Greeks, ten centuries ago, called the Euxine A[are Ru&sicum (Russian Sea.) For the last hundred years the Russians, cross and bayonet in

YAXKKE IMFRRDENCE.—An officer in the Baltic fleet, in a letter to one of the English journals, tells the following rathorgood story: "One morning, a few days since, we saw a large vessel eight or ten miles ahead,

"As wo rapidly came up with her she took in sail until she was under reefed topsails, (fighting trim,) so we beat to quarters and the pipe sounded loudly.

RUSSIA AND TURKEV.-A remarkable Russian state paper has recently been published, being a proposition by the Emperor Alexander to the Emperor Napoleon, in 1809, to partition Turkey. The proposed division was to assign to France, Syria, all Asia Minor, Greece, all the islands of the Archipelago, with Candia and Cyprus and to Russia the northern provinces of Turkey, and Constantinople. The document, it appears, was by Alexander put into the hands of the then French Ambassador at St. Petersburg, without a signature, to be delivered to Napoleon.

This is another strong evidence of the long existing desire of Russia to blot out Turkey and appropriate Constantinople.-— We may well suppose that a war now commenced to accomplish that object will not be lightly prosecuted or soon ended.

FIRE BALLS—SINGULAR PHENOMENON.— During a heavy rain on Friday night, a very remarkable phenomenon was observed by a large number of persons in this city. In all directions, the atmosphere was filled with illuminated balls, resembling fire, which floated through the air, only a short distance above the earlh. They varied in size from that of a man's double fists to that of a marble. They were not extinguished by the rain, but were brightest and most numerous when the storm was the severest. Their appearance in the black midnight is represented to have been exceedingly beautiful. We presume they were electrical balls, but how generated or occasioned, we do not pretend to explain. —Alton Telegraph, I uth.

JtST The celebrated Dr. Cumming, on occasion of the recent offering of public prayer for the success of British arms, declared that he "could not conceal his belief that Russia would not be finally driven back, but that she was destined to triumph over Europe, and to be an instrument in the hands of God to exhaust Mohammedanism and to fulfil prophecy."

ARRIVAL OF THE EI'IIOPA. NEW YORK, May 19. The Europa has arrived with dates to tho 6th.

The Russian Sultana Batteries had been, bombarded by the allied fleets. American privateer brig. Grape Shot, under Russian colors had captured a French brig off the Land's End of England.

The ship Black Hawk from Liverpool for New York foundered at sea. She had on, board 800 passengers, who were all sav«d 120 were landed at Falmouth.

The war news is important. The allied fleets had bombarded the Russian forts at Sulima at the mouth of tho Danube causing tremendous confusion.— The Russians have retreated leaving behind their baggage and military behests.

The Russians continue their attacks on Silistria. On the 20th, the Turks crossed the Danube to destroy the Russian batteries.— They advanced to Kalanscha and after some hard fighting retired on the 23d.—• Silistria is yet uninjured.

Paskewitch has ordered the Russians to advance no farther into the Dovrudscha. An important battle was fought on tho 25th, between the Turks and the Greek insurgents. Arta was taken by the Turks ir* fifteen minutes by assault. The Greek leaders, Jaraiska and Sarclas, were killed. There was considerable slaughter by the Albanians. The Greek leaders fled with, the principal part of their forces.

The whole Greek coast is closely blockaded by the allied fleets. Thero was a severe fight between tho Turks and Montenegrins at Nichsick. Tho Montenegrins were commanded by Nerodo George Petrovitch.

Hostilities have fairly commenced at last. It is reported that the Austriaus will occupy the Provinces.

Napier is closely blockading all the Bnltic posts. Russia is fitting out against him a fleet of 100 armed boats.

Great excitement had been caused at London by the exploit of the American Privateer brig Grape Shot, and several British steamers had been sent in pursuit of her, she having captured a French merchant vessel off Lands End. A detailed account of the bombardment of Odessa states that all the batteries and military stores were destroyed. Two powder magazines were blown up.

Twelve Russian ships of war were sunk, andjthirteen vessels laden with ammunition were taken. Merchant vessels were not molested. The loss of the Allies was only five killed and six wounded.

The allied fleets had left for Sebastopol. PARTS—Friday.—The Imperial Guard is re-established, and Generals St. Jean and Angely, had been appointed commanders.

A telegraphic dispatch was received last night by the Government, announcing that the Turks had obtained another victor}-, and that Omar Pacha had succeeded in cutting in pieces the Russian army in the Dovrudscha.

After some hours anxious suspense at the non-ar-rival of their only daughter, they made enquiries concerning her, and soon after received the startling intelligence that she had eloped with a young gentleman, who had arranged the affair in so nice a style that they escaped without detection.

GUNPOWDER. The London Atlas haa some curious statistics in relation to gunpowder, thus: "It is reckoned that our fleet, which numbers 2,140 guns, fired away 42,000lbs. of gunpowder during tho battle of Trafalgar. In the action off Capo St. Vincent, one ship fired 17,730lbs. while upon the bombardment of Algiers, which lasted nine hours, 500 tons of shot and nearly 118 tons of powder were expended— 58,000lbs. of powder and 6,720 tons of shot being fired from the impregnable alone.
