EUROPE.—The symptoms of a commercial and industrial crisis begin to assume a serious aspect. A terrible re-action has opened. Thus we find in the Leeds and London papers of this week the announcement of heavy failures in the worsted trade of Bradford in Yorkshire. A long catalogue of firms is given consigned to total ruin.
THE LATEST DISPATCHES,
By Submarine and European Telegraph.
PARIS, Tuesday morning, June 27, 1854.—The Moniteur announces that, according to a dispatch received from Vienna, dated yesterday, the siege of Silistria had been raised, and that the Russians were retiring en masse.
Their retreat was being effected from all parts of Wallachia, in the direction of Fokshan and Birlat.
The entry of the Austrians into the Principalities is decided on, and Count Coronini, with the first division, to be followed closely by a second, is ready to descend the Danube to Giurgevo, whence he will march to Bucharest.
M. de Bruck is to communicate with the Porte as to the steps necessary to be taken with a view to this occupation of the Principalities by the Austrians.
We have received from our correspondent in Berlin a dispatch, dated last night, which announces that the smaller German States have sent in their complete adhesion to the Austro-Prussian treaty.
Letters from the Danube mention that the Russians are leaving their sick behind in the hospitals, and the most stringent orders have been given by the Turkish authorities to respect them, and also to deliver free pasports to the Russian Surgeon who may be left in attendance.
VIENNA, Monday Morning, June 26.—The night before last the Russian reply to the Austrian note reached Vienna. It is to the effect that, as a mark of high consideration for Austria, Russia consents to evacuate the Turkish territories.
BUCHAREST, Friday, June 23, 1854.—The siege of Silistria is raised "by superior order." The Russians have evacuated Giurgevo, and the whole of the army is to retire beyond the Pruth.
CRONSTADT, (Transylvania) June 19, 1854.—The Russians are leaving Wallachia in all haste. They take with them the horses, oxen, wheat, and every thing movable on which they can lay their hands, leaving nothing behind but their wretched paper money.
BUCHAREST, June 15.—The march of a British detachment from Varna to Pravadi, on the 12th inst., was announced on the same day to the commander of the Russian corps of observation stationed below Basardjik by Cossacks. The Russian corps at once commenced a movement in retreat.
CONSTANTINOPLE, June 15.—The advance guard of the allied army has reached Pravadi, between Varna and Shumla. Generals Bosquet and d'Allonville, arrived at Adrianople on the 12th, with 4,000 men.
ORSOVA, June 19.—Gen. Librandi's army corps (from 25,000 to 30,000 strong) is retiring from Slatina, to join the concentration of the Russian forces in Moldavia.
BUCHAREST, June 18.—It is understood that the entire evacuation of the Principalities will be commenced on the 27th.
LIVERPOOL, Wednesday, June 28, 1854.—The Continental news is very scanty. There is no fresh intelligence from the East.
LONDON, 28th June.—Noon.—We have nothing later from the East, except that the official reply of the Czar to Austria would not be sent till the second or third of July.
The Russians have taken prisoners two newspaper correspondents, on the right bank of the Danube.
Constantinople letters of the 19th confirm the news that the Austrians will occupy the Principalities till the conclusion of a general peace.
It is said that the Western Powers will promote the raising of a loan of 400,000,000 piastres by the Porte. The Russians have removed their heavy artillery from the Danube islands.
P. S.—The Asia, which arrived on Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock, brings nothing more decisive from Europe. The Russians are retreating from the Principalities, and the Austrians are about to enter Lord John Russell said in the House of Commons that if the Russians had not withdrawn, the Austrians were bound by the late treaty with the Porte, to march in and drive them out. This, however, looks doubtful. Gen. Schilders is dead, and Prince Meschakoff has been appointed to command the army in conjunction with Paskewich. The Russians are not only withdrawing to the Pruth, but are making preparations in the Crimea, as if for a defensive war. On the other hand the allies seem to be preparing to attack them there. In Circassia the mountaineers actually have possession of the Gates of the Caucasus, and Woronzoff is cut off from communicating with Russia by that route. The Turks are about to advance on Tiflis in conjunction with Shamyl. Persia has declared herself neutral. The Greek insurrection is completely put down, the last of its leaders having surrendered. Admiral Napier has concentrated the forces before Cronstadt, and the English hope he will do something.
SPAIN.—Advices have been received from Spain up to the 2d ult. At that time not the slightest evidence had been shown by the Spanish Government of a disposition to come to an arrangement in the Cuban difficulty. No overtures whatever have been made which could be accepted by the United States Government.
It must be regarded as almost certain, that France will not assist Spain in a war with the United States.

SPIRITUALISM.
"But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily [Private Circles,] shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction." 2 Pet. ii, 1.
"When they shall say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them." 1 Thess. v, 3.
"Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit," &c. Chap. xviii, 2.
"Whose [Christ's] coming is after [immediately following] the working of satan with all power, and signs and lying wonders." 2 Thess. ii, 9.
"And shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch, that if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." Matt. xxiv, 24.
Babylon the Habitation of Devils.
A CLERGYMAN, a Spiritualist of Phillipston, Mass., writing to the Spiritual Telegraph, says:—For five years I have preached these same views as fast and as far as they have been communicated to my mind; and although the wolves have sometime howled, still the people have heard me gladly. There is a power exercised over me in the pulpit (or through me) of which I am unconscious elsewhere, and as yet no voice has been raised within or without the church to silence me.
Machine Invented by Spirits.
By H. C. Billings
MESSRS. PARTRIDGE AND BRITTAN:
Gentlemen—From a sense of duty, and to "give credit to whom credit is due," I offer the following announcement relative to the discovery (through Spirit agency) of a machine for the riving of shingles.
On the 2d day of March, Dr. R. Barrow was entranced to give the description, and also a draft of this machine, under the influence of Dr. Franklin. The draft was completed in an incredibly short space of time, and that, too, without the aid of any mathematical instruments, save a straight stick and pencil. On taking off the draft to a working size, the proportions were all found correct, and could not be varied to any improvement. The direction was that the draft and specification should be handed over to me to execute; which I have done accordingly, at such leisure hours as could be spared from other business.
The model completed is of one third the full working size, and works precisely as was promised. It produces from the block a shingle each second of time, including the time required to remove the shingle from the machine and the replacing of the bolts upon the carriage. But I will not burden your columns with an extended account of this truly useful and labor-saving machine, as it will soon find its way to the pineries, where manufacturers of shingles will duly appreciate its value. The machine is clearly patentable, and in due time will be entered at the Patent Office.
I will simply add that Dr Barrow makes no pretension to any knowledge of the mechanic arts, and in the normal state could not have made the first mark or entertained the least idea of the construction of the machine.
I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant.
H. C. BILLINGS.
Palmer, Hampden Co., Mass., April 15th, 1854.
