Millel'pf Acadia, left behind at that port, in consequence of sickness, when his ship sailed. The pa rs by her contain no newa of im- . ce. She sailed for England the mine night about 9 o‘clock. Yesterday morning, the Britannia, Capt. Cleland, arrived from Liverpool in 14 days, with58 passengers for this city, and 32 for Boston. From papers by her we learn that hostilities with the Chinese, alter bein resumed, had once more been concluded 0r suspended. h'e Passion? hadnot arrived at Liverpool up to the period of the Bntan- nia’s sailin . A Dublin pa r mentions the receipt, in that city, of a otter from Que directed to sent by her, hearing the Hours mark, of the lOth April, and the New York stamp of 8th March, three days rewons t’o her ailing. As Havre, however, is within less t an a day's sail of the British coast, from 'which Steamvessels ply daily to that port, we fear the hopes which the Duhlm parsgra h_are calculated to excite, rest upon a very slender foun tion. The Unicorn, steamer, roceeded with the mails and nearly 60 passengers for Quebec, at half-past 9 o'clock the same morning, and about one, the Britannia got under weigh for Boston. Addresses to the Captains o the Steamships of this‘ line, have of late become so much a platter of course that we have forborne to notice them; but it appears that a more substantial token of esteem, from the passengers on board the Britannia, in February last, in the form of a piece of plate, awaits Capt. Cleland, on his arrival at Boston.

Ton.an AND Berra—The Turkish Government had ‘ ordered hack to Constantinople the Albanian troops which formed part of the Syrian expedition, it being the intention of the Porte to punish, in a severe manner, the perpetrators of the outrages recently committed near Beyrout. The excesses of these troops had excited astrong feeling in Syria against the present order of things. i

The advices from Alexandria represent Mehemet Ali as resuming his military preparations, as if still'detcr- mined to resist, in the event of the original terms of his compact with the Porte not being agreed to.~—-Afier deso patching his remonstrance to the Sultan, he left Alex- andria to visit his son Ibrahim. Rumours of the death of the latter personage had reached Alexandria, but prove to be unfounded.

Russta AND ClnCAsslA.—ODESSA, March 24.—It seems to be the intention of Russia to employ this year a very considerable force against the Circaseian moun- taineers. The division of infantry stationed at Trgan- rog (belonging to the 3d corps ofthe army) is already gone to Georgia. The llth divisioii, stationed On the other side of the Dniester, has also received orders to be in readiness to march, havin been already raised to its full complement. The twelft i divisibn remains, for the present, in Besssrabia; but is recruiting with great acti- vity, and seems only to wait till it is complete.

In Russia, no body. knows what they are about, as Nicholas keeps it all to himself.

Mr. Huhbell aid——

He resided in a County in which the relatives of the murdered Abraham Durfee now lived, and that a breeze came over the green hills of that county that did tell to every denizen of it, that there was a widowed. mother and orphan children dependent on their bounty, and that the felon who perpetrated the deed,.standing on the borders of our own State, justified the deed, and gloried in the act of having shed the blood of an American citi- zen. He spoke the sentiments (he said) of the people ofNew York ; and he went on to tell those who sustain- ed the proposition to send this man home, that the Gover- nor would sign no law for that purpose, and that if he did, the people would not ratify it. He (Mr. Hubbell) stood there, he said, to justify those ’who, at Lockport, wlien njudge, without discretion, instigated by the British emissaries, was about to set at liberty the culprit who stands charged with murder, interposed to prevent it. He (Mr. Hubbell) had he been there, would have stood around the jail, and would have united in preventing the release of the culprit, through the fully or corruption of the judge. He averred that there was not power enough—there was not gold enough in Great Britain to take this man's body out of the county of Niagara, until he shall have gone through the form of a trial. It was enough to know'that he was small who gloried in hav- ing shed the blood ofa citizen of this State. He (Mr. Hiibbell) believed he did shed the blood ofa citizen. Mr. Simmons interposed, deprecating a course cal- culated to prevent a fair ttial, in this State, at least.
