Under ihe broad penant of George Napier there are 44 of the largeet and fineavessel* in the British service, carrying 2,200 guns, propelled by a aieam power of 16.000 horses, and manned by upward of ftO.OOOmen.

A large portiou of •the Russian fleet is in the Baltio, protected by the strong fortification* of Crunstadt, which it will bo the aim of Napier to burn and destroy.

With the exoeption of the great war with Napoleon in IBIS. Russia wa» nevar engaged in attoh a formidable struggle ae the one in whieh she ia at pretent embarked.— She will 5nd it a very different thing from her wars with the Persians, Tartars, and Turka, when her troops come in cbotaot with the high disciplined and efficient armie» of France and F.ftgland. remains to be aeen whether their barbarto valor and native energy are equal to the t**k of cutpiog with such antagoniata, who ham to aid them *11 the wealth and civilisation of Western Europe. With the French, the Russian* have before had tomo military tlht—but with the English nev«r—having, since the, time ol Pater the Great, been on terms of amity with that nation.

During the eventful eareer of Napoleon, England backed tip Russia In her ware againt the French conqavror. and it ia sow rather remarkable that she should ally her* self with the nejpbew of her old enemy •gaieat h«r did ally.

W« aee by our exchanges that several oeigbborioc newspaper establishments are for sale. They are eadd to be. and we believe they are, tn flourish log towns sorrotin ded by a thriving country—and are well supported, impaired health of the editors which renders it impoaeible to continue km ger in the bstiorss, i* assigned as the sole cause of frequent editorial ebsnges/^

These facts furnish u* an instruct^ lea ton. Whilst the merchant* the lawyer, the mechanic, and the farmer, pursue their va rioos occupations tot years, with health set dom interrupted—whilst the preacher per forms probably at much mental, aod fou times a* much physical labor as the editor, without any deleterious effect upon bis con dilution, the latter languishes under disease and unless relieved sinks into premature de cay, aod dies. We could point out hun dredt of inataneaa tending to prf«o these facta. G. D. Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, say* that of two or three partners that he has had in that establishment, and three associate editors, not one is now living But we need not multiply instances. Many of our Texan readers, young as their conn try is, can point ont in their village ceme leries. the mound beoeath which repose the remains of a gifted young man who started the first paper in their town. He embarked in the enterprise with the bouyant spirits and a brilliaut prospect before him. Every energy of bis mind was called into action sod just as his labors began to be apprecia ted, and he began to reap the pecuniary fruits of his anxious toil, his physical ays lem gave way under the constant wear of a continued and intense exertion of the mind

The mind it so constituted as to require like the body, sltemate rest and repose Those occupation* which demand great and frequent efforts of the mind, if they allow it suitable seasons of relaxation, are not in jurious to the health. Judicious exercise is necessary for the healthful development and the vigorous action of the mental as well a* ihe physical constitution. The occupations of the lawyer, the divine, the fer mer aod the mechanic all afford the mind abundant period* of rest, But such is by oo masns the case with that of the editor. Hi* over tasked intellect find* Do repoae.— Hi* duty mu*t be performed conii^iially-not periodically. Whether he feels like mental suffering or trot, whether *ick or well, hi* articles mutt be written, and alt hi* multifarious buslnea* performed. These labors are certainly enough to break down an or dinary constitution—but when we add to them, peouniary disappoinrnq&pt and embarrassment, lack of expected appreciation, —•the indifference of friend* and the aarcaam ol enemies, we have a satisfactory explanation of the causes which disappoint the hopes, and outs short the career of ao great a portion of newspaper editors.

There ia occasionally an editor endowed watb a strong body, and a well poised mind, alike indifferent to censure and praise, satisfied with his own powers, neither allured by hope, nor alarmed by fears, that will triumph «ver all obstacles, and pursuing calmly, the even tenor ol hia way, attain renown, wealth, and long life but whilst suoh an individual may like any other prodigy, oocastenaMy ba found, nnmbera will fall aroand htm, the victima of unrequited mental labor, aad di*appoioted h»pe,— ^f?r*a (Tesrat) Advertiter. r?

OM DseU ent of tha Cinefltnafi Ti»es,

writing from Uelena, iq Arkansas, describes a quarrel wbich arose there and the manner of its setUement—lo wit:

One of the coldest nights last winter, two Of its most prominent aithcons of this plsoe who for years had baas intimate friends, met in this bar room of one of the taverns, •nd soon became merry over a.HtUe sparkling juice. From good humor they got into argument, from argument to bard words, sud from hard words to abusive la&gaageIndeed it soon become evident that under ihe code of Southern chivalry, a meeting betwen the two was inevitable, to satisfy the honor of one or both. In the midst of this excitement, one, and perhaps the first offender, happened to cool down, and reflecting the folly of shooting st, or being shot, by an old friend, thought of .an expedient to prevent the theddiog of blood.. 'I tay said he to bia excited friend, *we have quarrelled, the lie hat passed, and now we must meet and have it out.'

Nothing else will faiisfy $e other with an oath. 'J. ... Well now I consider it foolish for old friends as we have been,' continued the first speaker, 'to fight in any way, a* we both have families, who would aufler aa much at either of ut could by a meeting 1 have aomething to propose, which, while it will test our courage, will not be qoite as dangerous at facing pistols and bullet*.'

What is it?' asked thj other bis aoger cooling to a remarkable degree. Why, that we both strip off, jump into the Mississippi, swim out twenty yards, and return, and the first one who reaches the shore to be declared in the right.'

Done!' tatd the other, who wa* an expert swimmer. Instantly both parties stripped and though the cold wind* howled from the north, and the surface of the water was frosted with ice, they started almost on a run for the river, followed by eome by-atanders, who had witnetted the quarrel, and who were to be judges. In they plunged, and boldly they atemmed the boiling current of the Father of Waters, despite the freezing temperature of tbe water.. Out they awam until the judges decided they were twenty yards fro»i the there and bid them return. One easily reached the terra firma, but the other soon gave out, horror of those on shore, screamed tot help. He was rescued with muoh difficulty, »nd as be was hauled, ahivering and almoat drowned from the river, he exclaimed between his chattering teeth: 'i'// bt hanged if wasn't right I mutt have hen dPHnk when I disputed with html'

A little internal and external application of the ardent, relieved the partiee from all injurious effects of their unseasonable swim when they ahook handa and resumed their former intimaoy. 1 like this new mode of duelling, and reoommend it to those ohivalrio individuals, who contend that wounded honor can only be healed or oourage teated by squinting at the, muzzle of a cooked pis lol 1

A* Mrs. Esther Stansbury (residing in court running from Rsce, below Sixth street.) was about to bring a bucket of water from the hydrant last night, she found an old basket suspended from the knob of the front door. Patting her band into the basket, she felt something slive and kicking, but so enveloped in rags that no farther discovery could be made without unwrapping the object. A pieee of paper, folded Hka & letter, lay by the aide of the animated bundle.— Mrs. Stansbury immediately returned into the house, and by the light of tbe lamp examined the billet. It was addressed to her husband. She tremulously broke the seal, and read as follows: ,K "To

He had doneastracge thing for the first time io his life be hsd made an engagement he was not absolutely certain of hia ability to fulfill. Ha had misgivings that he had rashly I pledged the honor of his country. It had been long since he had looked in upon an

He was, as Plantus, would say, red act us ad invinitaa—in Yankee parlance 'hard up.'— But fortune favors the brave.

No battle had taken place on the Baltic, flte allied fleets had entered the Bjack Sea.

"ll*

The Turtta had gained a victory in Bestarabi a. Austria was still a ndsoidedPM$&^$

The Russians were dismantling their fortresses on tbe Island of Oland.

Napier's fleet was at Keoge bay. Navigation was open to St. Petersburgh. The allied fleets have entered the Black Sea, and to effect a movement in oonjuno lion with Omer Pasha, had steered for Varna.

As soon as hostilities will commence on the Baltic, the Bmporer of Russia and Court will move to Moscow.

The Russians were raxing all the fortresses in the Dobrudsoha, on the right bank of the Danube, and their position at the last nocountt wa* considered very critical, and they were calling for reinforcements

The Turks had defeated G«n. UschakofT, in Bessarabia, and forced him to fall back they have also crosacd the Danube near Rutschuck. ft it now Said that Austria will not declare war against Russia! except the Russian for ce* cross the Balkans.

The English aud French government have entirely, rejected the progj3»aU, o,{sl|\o Cxnr, made through Prussia. ^'A despatch from Barlln says negotiations between Austria and Prussia, were not closed, but Prussia had joined in a protocol, signed in Vienna, on the 3d inst., between Great Britian. France and Austria.

In the House of Common*, Lord John Russel said that Austria was concentrating troops on the frontier of Servia, but as negotiations wore still in progress, lie could not state what course Auxtria would pursue.

April S6th it appointed a national fast day throughout Great Britian. *An ttln^rtrht pVeaeher recently traveled among the north-western counties of this state. He was mounted on an animal whoae appearance betokened very bad keeping— the mere frame work of what had once been a horse. Riding tip to tha door of a country inn, he inquired of the landlord the ^distance to the next town. The host coming out was so forcibly struck with the ap pearanoe o( the animal upon which the querist sat, that he walked around him twice before giving the desired information

He then enquired: VI ho might you be, if it it a fair quas
