European News?A General "War Ap- ' prehended?Effect on Ootton, etc. ' Suddenly taut week the world was agitated j hy the ncwi that Russia had proclaimed the , intention of disregarding, in pnrt, the treaty ot 1.866, made with England and Franao after I Mia Crimean war, giving notice of her design I So oseupy die Black Set with lomo ships of war, whish is contrary to the treaty. The English at one* fancied they saw danger to , their Eastern possessions in Asia, and the devouring of the entire turkey hy the Russian bear, which would make the animal so overstrong as to enJangcr the existence of the old lion, and all other national animals and birds pf Europe. Austria and Italy shared in the *oo#n?rnption, and the French likewise, for it was suggested that Rus?;* Prussia were about to form an alliance, so that there would be do gepurHjr to any of the other existing U<>Ycrnwcnt.?. The newspapers of England, and on the continent, wore tilled with alarm" Ing speculations. The London journals announced that, in the best informed circles of England, a general European war w?f regarded inevitable, and some of thetn urged w?r as the duty of England. I The effect of all this news, was to depress ( the fff ice of cotton in Liverpool about i of a ? penny, and about i of a cent in New York, < UZid 3ii.U gaining as it went, the price was ' reduced ?1>oyl one cent in the interior markets, f Breadstuff's have advanced both in the markets s nf KiirniLB inrl The European u?i thia week ia more aatia factory.

Tbo French appear to be inereasiag tbair arm lea. Paris atill remains unbumbardcd, and aotne Igbting now and tben is going on witb comparatively trifling successes on either vide. The French are sendinv for. ward r?f strong forces towards Parts, and .It is thought that a great straggle ?iU soon occur near its walls?Trocho making a strong sortie, whilst the outer armies of the French will attack the Prussians in the rear. The French people hare lost immensely in every way by the war, and bare nothing to gain by eontinuing it, but that the politicians and mll-> tnry officers may keep up their positions.? Now, as heretofore in history, the masses o' the people are made fools and toots by the ery of glory I the flag! and hurrah for oarsida! without considering that "big wars" (which do not mnko ambition virtue) are only in the interest of the governing official classes. The pejple have the lighting to do and the debts to pay, and make themselves, practically, slaves to bond-holders, and salaried officers, end speculators, and jobbers in Government affairs. This is the resalt of ainety-nine out of a hun-? dred of all tba wars of the world; onr own United Statea late war being no exception.? Defensive wars, however, cannot be avoided. When robbers attack* house, the inmates will defend if they can. Prussia was tho bouse attacked in this war, and sbo baa tBe rigflfto disable bar enemy, if she can, from ever making wontoir attacks on ber people hereafter. It is to do this, that her black eagles now surronnd Paris. Contracts for Carrying the Mails.

Our grain and pork crops will enable us to export a large quantity of food products to meet the wants of devastated France ; and the Booth has a cotton crop from which it could ship nearly 2,600,000 bales to Europe.

A Washington dtspeSsh to the Hew Torfc i rfcrald Hjrii I The court martini held at West Point, Oo ober 21, for tho trial of Cadot James W* Smith, colored, resulted in his oonrietion on i Lka ftrfl ?Ii>mS nnhml anlut IiIbi ,Mftlin# k disturbance to o?ap, and violently assault- i ii| t fellow cadet, inflicting considerable Injury. The oftOM ? fully proven, and the i Bonrt sentenced Smith to walk poet, under sbarge af a eadet eentiael, from 3 o'clock P. U. until retreat, for tlx coneecutive Satur- i lays. The Judge advocate, In hie record of i the caee, expressed the opinion that It would be better if thie eentenoe were dleapproved, Iban that the function of the government bould be given to a puaiahmont eo utterly insuBcicat ae that propoeed to be inflicted. In thie opinion the President concurred, and the sentenced Was dleapproved. Smith is accordingly ordered to be released from arrast, and gets off unpunished because of the ridiculous ten tenee of the court. * , A letter to the New York Times from West P^lnt, dated the Ifltb instant, eaya t The greatest excitement that has relieved the usual routine of military monotony at this post, since the battle with dipper weapons between Cadet J. W. WUson and (oolored) Cadet J. W. Smith, occurred to-day when the news was received of the War Department's action on the verdict ol the reocntly-convcned general court-martial. Had the accused been sentenced to he led out and shot, public astonishment could sesreoly hava been greater. The general expectation waa that if Smith escaped dismissal ho ho aeverely reprimanded, and no one was prepared to hear such a decision as has bean made. The oadets are almost all Indignant and disappointed. It does not seem tnat they desire to injnro the aeons d nor fflorv in hil nunUhmtni Kn? fhaw ma ?crt that ba baa been guilty of prevarication and inconsistency ; tbat bia cadet honor ia sullied, and .(bat, black or white, as be may ba? while in a cadet uniform ha ia identifiod witb the corps and inetitution. And that now tl^at ba ia roleasod from all pocalty and rosponsU bility for the past, and in a dogreo promoted to the rark of a martyr to color and rare, before bia sympathisers in the nation at large, tbey are mortified beyond measure. Every ooe in tbo vicinity of tho Court-martial was onvioeW that, witb tho aiogle exception of General Howard, the euurt Intended t<> place a penally equal to the garviiy of tho offence sgninst Suiitli's uamo. The cadeta feel tbat Bmitb baa not been justified, and they, aa a body, bavo boon wronged. The sentiment against Smith is more unanimously bitter and intense than over. The previously adopted resolution to taboo any in the corps who aflil iated with Smith will be more rigidly observed. Sbould another collision occur, it is plain tbat the result would be more serious (ban before. Had he l?ecn reprimanded, and bia action declared guilty, the feolicg of predjudiee would be greately mollified. Witb one or two exceptions, the officers, although they dare not say so. ahare tho ammo feeling with the cadets. d ~ The War Strnngth of JBhgiand. For months past the English press have been hammering away upon tlie enljeet of Army Reform, and the MudsU-rs were told, in p'aln words, that il war rami*, and the country w?*re unprepared, they would b?* held strictly responsible. The Secretary of War every now and then assured the puhlio tliat recruiting went on satiafalorily, nod Hint the-e were enorgli breocli loaders in atore to arm all the ro'dier* who could he brought toyeth-r in ease of emergency. But the leaJing journal*, e-pecially the Saturday Review, puncture 1 the inflated blad cr of official statement, and showed conclusively that the atipply of arm*, n<til cry nod munitions was miserably insuffl ei nt, and ihnt the c >untry had nothing to depend upon, in ihe immediate present, beyond t!ic mall regular army. Iyird Elrlio Is one of the most pmmment of the Army Kvform-r*, and, in view ol the complications willi Russia, liia s'ntemenis are highly interesting, in a letter written about two war ks ago, he starts out with the remark that an army reserve i? an admitted need. lie endeavors to show how costly and inefficient has b-en the ays'em of re> eruil'.ng. 11a remarka that in the Prmnatilar War the greatest number ol British sol diers ever placed in line was 46 (XX) at Vitjorin; that, at Waterloo, they only mustered 37 000 men, aud that tlie foree they sent to the Crimen did not exceed 20,000 mm. lie alleges that the recruiting system," wlren strained, breaks down, and fails to m<et the emergencies or casualties of war. The lieserve Force Act of 1869 has, in his opinion, ailed signally As to the At my Reserve Force Act of 1867, he aaya it only produced 2000 men available for foreign service. As ? to Mr. Cardwrll'a experiment of short enhutment, Lord Eleho denies that Mr. Cardwell has shown a full appreciation of their wants In the matter of army reserve*. " We find ourselves," Lord Eleho add*, " With a reduced army and skeleton battalions. wiinoui a reserve or Any means of sddde-dy filling them with trained men." There are strong words, hut it may have | cheered the British heart to know that an extensive scheme i f army organization is under the consideration of the government, and that the special direction in which the proposed scheme will tend la towards the militia, aod " that we (England) shall have a fully organized and irally efficient militia hirer." This is very comforting, now that England is on the brink of war.
