It is added on reliable authority. that Austria, should the conference in her capital and in barren results, will at once arm. and plunge herself in the thickest of the conflict,--a ptognostication, should the emergency arise. which we sltall be glad to see realized. The next few weeks cannot fail to be pregnant with good or eviI——witli peace or war; and if t it: latter, we may console ourselves with the assur- ance that the war will not lerniinate with a cam- paign. but is almost certain to extend over years. The fate of the Crimea. which now orctipies the attention of p--liiicians and the world at large. will then dwintllt-. into comparative insignificance, for empires will be sltakeu to their centre, and the map of Europe may possibly undergo serious modifications. The French accounts from the Crimea extend to the 7th inst. The death oi the Czar was received the previous evening, and appears to have prn<'-ticetl 5| prolountl sensation. The itttellt- gence must have travelled with more than ordi- nary spH‘~d.— for it appears to have reached Kaniiesch, four days after he had breathed his last. Upon the Rtissians in Sebasto )1, tltc news must of necessity have fallen ikc an electric shock, for no doubt, like ourselves, they had been kept in profound ignorance of his illness. The sccresy which is maintained at St. Petersburg is very extraordinary, for now that death has seized upon the royal victim. letters and sketches from the Russian capital teem with accounts of his drooping stature and woe-begone tippearttncc long before his demise. According to the dcspntches in the Monitmr of Thursday, the French have been throwing a new species of rocket into the city of Scbnstopol which lind set fire to it in several places. '1wo Russian oflicers are said to him: taken refuge in the English lines, and from these deserters, supposing them not to be spies, may e learned something of the enemy's movements. 'l‘lic siege works were said to be pursued with alncrity. The more detailed ac- counts than those received telegraphically clear away the uncertainty which previously hung over the nflitir between the French and the Russians on the ni ht of the 24th of Fcbruar . Prince Menschikolfs original despatch made the French loss on this occasion amount to t3(»0 men in the taking of the redoubts erected by the Russians in front of the left flank of tho fortifications tit Sebastopol. The French, it now it pears, determined to destroy works which ad been built to frustrate the plans of the Allies, took the redoubts, but were exposed to a murderous fire from tho Russian batteries, and from the Russian vessels anchored in the port. The had 100 killed and 300 wounded: ut they c ected their objt-.ct., and then return- ed to the camp. " c ussiitn loss is said to have been considerable. Two more ships hr. vc been sunk at the entrance toSebttstopol,and the Russians, tearing an assault, were taking every step to meet it. Indeed, the skill of the Russian engineers in thus defending the fort- use is entit ed to tltc highest rtiiso. We may ahortl expect to hear of a collision between the ppposing armies of u very formidable kind. e flue weather has now arrived, and the field will be taken with energy by each. It has now konspirod, that the Russian troops in the Cri- not have encountered hysical suflcrings durin the winter, even more severe than our own, an , if this be any satisfaction to Mr. Rocbuck‘a committee, it ought to be told.

He considered the country people more interested in the building ol'n market than the town people, for if there was no market, the town people would get produce brought to their doors. lie was against putting a market on any of the squares, as was also his colleague Mr. Palmer. ‘ c Country Members were all opposed to bu ing it new site, and most of them oonsidere the West side of Queen Square the best place for a market. Mr. Coles stated that ifa market was tit on Queen Squarepi good building should be built, having it largo Room for Agricultural Society, Public Meetings, &c., but ifa site was purchased is smaller builditig would do. As the town incorporation Bill will not go into operation until late in the season, the town cottld not make selection of a site in time to build it this car, there was it disposition in the llouse to 'otc it sum in aid of tho buildin , rliaps £1000, but he thought it would bccatter, to leave it over until next Session, when a Bill might be introduced to guards inst too heavy a tax being put on Country pro nce.

Wednesday, April lltli, 1855. So much of our paper has been of late occu- pied with the report of the debates of the Assenibl_v, that we have had no room for remarks on their proceedings. We have pre- ferred for many reasons, to omit making any comments upon the transactions of the session mialim, becntise it is our intention after it has been finished, to present our readers with a concise view of all that has been done, as well as to notice all that has been left undone.
