GrcatSaviJl Battle-Turks Defeated
eastern news-—great battle.
A great naval báttle took placo on the
30th of November, in the Black Sea, off
the harbor of Sinope, between the Turk-
ish and Russian fleets. The Turkish
fleet was composed of 24 vessels, inclu-
ding nine frigates and one steamer, each
vessel in addition to her complement
having on board 800 troops, destined for
Circassia. The whole was under the
command of Osinan Bay. The fleet was
commanded by Admiral MenchikoiF.
The engagement was terrific, la-ting one
hourf and resulting in the utter defeat of
the Turks, with immense loss on both
sides. Every vessel of the Turkish fleet
except one was blown up, sunk, or burnt!
and the Turkish admiral was taken pris-
oner.
The loss on the part of the Russians
consisted of seven ships, comprising two
ships of tbe line, three frigates and two
steamers.

All Europe is thrown inso a state of

In Paris profound grief prevails among

A River Flowing under a City.—
The Newark (N. J.) Advertiser, states
that some persons who were engaged in
grading the streets of that city, recently,
while working at the corner of Nesbitt
street, between High and Summit, came
upon a large hole, about twenty feet deep,
two feet wide at the mouth and seven at
the bottom. A stream of water five feet
deep running in a south-east direction,
was found at the bottom. The discovery
has excited considerable curiosity in the
vicinity.

ror, who dined with John Mitchel, the
Irish exile, a short time since, says he is
quite young; rather tall and slender;
complexion remarkably transparent; and
that he is without exception the hand-
somest and most refined Irishman he lias
ever seen.

The Battle of Sinope.
New York, Dec. 27.—The papers
brought by the Pacific contain various
accounts of the naval battle off Sinope.
One of these states that the entire Rus-
sian fleet from Sebastopol was engaged
was engaged against the Turkish squad-
ron fourteen ships. The shore batteries
at|Sinope proving useless, the Russians
forced an entrance to the harbor. The
number of Turkish ships sunk and des-
troyed was thirteen. Besides the seven
Russian ships that were lo3t in the battle
the remainder of the fleet was so much
shattered that it reached Sebastopol only
with great difficulty. The Turks are re-
ported to have fought like devils, and alt
prepared to die rather than surrender.
The Turkish vessels sunk comprised sev-
en frigates, two corvettes, one steamer
and three transports—thirteen in all.
Another account states that only six
Russian ships of the line were engaged
in the battle, and that they had to sus-
tain the fire of five batteries, as well as
that of the Turkish fleet.
An attempt was made to take the
Turkish flag ship with the Vice Admiral,
into Sebastopol, but she sunk, and the
prisoners were transferred to the Rus-
sian vessels.
Admiral Menschikoff left Odessa im-
mediately for St. Petersburg, with his
official reports.

Accounts from Vienna state that an

The State op Tlxas, \ James B. Shaw vs. the
County of Travis, j heirs of Jas. A. Caldwell.
To the Sheriff of said county, Greeting:
HERE AS, Jas. B. Shaw, a resident citizen of
Travis county, and State aforesaid, has filed
his petition, and also his affidavit, that the heirs of
J. A. Caldwell are unknown to him, in the District
Court of said county and State aforesaid, in which
among other things lie alleges, that he has title to,
and is part owner of, one-fourth of a league of land
granted to Geo. Spear, situated in the county of
Travis aforesaid, on the east bank of the Colorado
river, immediately above the city of Austin. The
situation cf said fourth of a league is such as to be
the lower quarter of said league on the left bank of
the Colorado river. That one James A. Caldwell
had an undivided interest in one-third part of said
fourth of a league of land, and he has since died,
and said interest is now held and owned by his
heirs or legal representatives, as part owners with
your petitioner. That the whole of said fourth of
a league of land is now owned by himself and the
heirs or legal representatives of said James A. Cald-
well, as part owners. That he is desirous of hav-
ing a partition made of said land, so that their in-
te rest may be distinct. That he has title to two-
thirds of said land. He therefore prays that the
heirs or legal representatives of said James A. Cald-
well may be cited to appear and answer this peti-
tion according to law, and upon the hearing of the
cause judgment may not be rendered in behalf of
your petitioner for the amount, of land here in before
claimed by him.
You are therefore hereby commanded to summon
the said heirs of the said James A. Caldwell, by
Miblication in some weekly newspaper, published
in the city of Austin, for eight successive we.*! s, to
be, and personally to appear before the Honorable
District Court, to be holden iu the city of Austin,

tendering his services to the inhabitants
of Austin, audits vicinity, and asking for a portion
of their patronage, deems it proper to remark that
his attention has been given to Dental Surgery, in
its various branches, for man;,- yea: s: and that dur-
ing this time he has practised in different parts of
the country, giving, wherever thus engaged, entire
satisfaction, and receiving, as evidences of ability
and success, high commendation and approval. To
those persons who have had unfortunate experi-
ence in the way of improper ai.d unskilful Dental
operations,- it is neceseary to say, that operations
on the teeth, unless performed properly, are dear at
any price. That no art can entirely restore, and no
money sufficiently recompense the injury which is
frequently caused by unskilful treatment of the
teeth. He would call the attention of those who
are so unfortunate as to have carious teeth, to the
great object of his pride and exertion of endeavor-
ing to excel in the important art cf saving them. Mil-
lions of teeth are now annually lost which might
be saved, by timely and judicious treatment. La-
dies visited at. their residences, if required. He
would farther remark, that he has permanently set-
tled in Austin. Office and residence on Congress
