A Disappointed Bridegroom.
A gentleman whoehall bt) namtlesp, went across
the Luke one fine clay ia:-t week, lor the very
goodly purpopo of perpetrating matrimony. The
lady of hia choice wu-, and i« for that matter,
the very embodiment of loveliness, and the joy o
the bridegroom was unbounded. IJeit premised,
however, that the fairone was neither a maid nor
exactly u widow. .She ha<l formerly been the
vic’itn ofatt unhapfy marriage, and had ancoess
Icily appealed to the laws fjr the soverauceofa
lie which proved uuy’.hing bat silken. Now, un
der the laws of Louisiana, u divorce must bo con
humruated a certain number oi jeers before tho
parties are at liberty to marry ugain, and as Ihe
pio.-crioed time, in the present instances, had not
yet expired, onr hero and heroine sought the torch
of Uy men among the piny retreats of a Mississippi
watering place. They wont to a justice of the
Peace, who, hearing that the marriage was barred
by the laws of Loaioana, had doubts whether tho
Mississippi laws would sanction it. That matter
however wassatifactorly settled by the icgal advice
of a member of the bar, aud th 6 ceremony was
about to proceed, when the bride took her await
ing swain aside and told him that if, under the
ciicumstnncos, tho marriage knot was tied, ho
must not expect all of a hunband’s privileges until
the years of probation, according to the laws of
Loaisana, were completed in her case. Need we
add that the gallant bridegroom promptly agreed
to tho arrangement, and “they twuin be came one
flesh. 7 ’
The scene now changes to the hotel. It is
ingli*, and married L lks had generally rotirod to
rest. Tho briHo nad also sought her chamber
“to sleep—perchance, to dream.” Tho brido
grcom oppreuched and tupped lightly on the
chamber door—so lightly, ii*deed, as almost to
warrant the supposition that it was a “spirit
rapping.” All softly and gently the bride opened
tho door and asked her husband what ho wanted,
“Only to go to bed, my love,” was the husband's
reply.
“And have you already forgotten that ell of a
husband's privileges w’ere net to be granted to you
until after tho expiration cf a certain pciiod?”
asked tho blushing bride.
“Aye, but tho privileges reserved were ugal
priveloges,” was tho answer.
No indeed 1” said tho bride as she kissed the
rosy tips of her lingers with her rosy lips, bade
him good night iu the most musical oi voices aud
shut tho door.
The husband’s thoughts on retiring to his cw
lonely couch may bo better imagined than descri
bed. Gossips say that ho swore—mentally—but
if ho did, nobody heard him.
On tho following morning he went to a barber’s
shop, and the first thing which saluted his ears
was a crusty bachelor reading a comic dictionary.
This diction ary defined marriage to be an insane
desire on tho part of a man to pay a ledy’a board.
Tho bridegroom left unshavod !
And for tho rest, will it not bo written in tho

What is Marrlsge 1
A new book has just been published in Boston,
under tho title of “ Marriage and Parentage.” The
author is Houry C. Wright. A largo portion of
the work is do voted to a series of lett rs ou the
sul joct of marriage. Tho onistolary parties uro
husband aud wife. Their stjle of writing fas in
such cases made and provided) is slipshod and
sentimental. It is plain at a glance, that the writer
knows nothing about love, though wo believe he
is more or less married. “He wants tho natural
touch.” But it is not our purpose to play tho critic. |
Wo allude to the book, only for the purpose of (
introducing to our renders tho following letters, ,
which rooentty passed between two of our friends,
and which wo consider to be far more interesting ,
than anything in Mr. Wright’s dreary pages. We ]
know not how to aocount tor it, but the fact is that ,
married pooplosoem to toko a peculiar pleasure in
communication to ns their soerots. x hey are con
btantly depositing their private correspondence in
onr hands, as it, instead of a man, wo were a post
oflico. But to the letters in question. Here they
are, verbatim et literatim :
1. Sally to Sammy .
Mr Dear Husband:—Wornor have a right to
pop questions as wo 1 as men. Answer mo this
question then : What is marriage f
Your inquiring wile, Sallt.
2. Sammy to Salty,
Aft/ Dear wife : —ln reply io your slngalar note,
I beg to sav, firstly, that neither man nor woinau
has tho right to pop silly qu stious ; and, second
lv, ll at if you have not found cut what marriage
t.-q altor living fourteen years as my wife, and bear
ing mo ten childrou (including the twins,) I am
unablo to tell you.

8. SaUv to Simmy.

tion Billy, i* unworthy of a man and n hus
band, which shows that you do not lovomo a* you
nnd therefore wo aro not truly married.
Yours, logically, Sallt.
d. Sammy to Sally.
Dearest Sally lf calling your cjusstion a pon
sible one, iiiatoad of giving it the right name, will
reconstitute our band of marriage. I trust you
will allow me the liberty of signing myself H 3 be
fore. Your fttTootionate husband, Baumt.
5 Sally to Sammy.
Dear Husband; —lm glad to find you reasona
ble. Marriage*, in my opinion, is the union of a
man and woman in iho bond ot wedlock, as l>>ng
as ihty are <f one mind, “now can two walk to
gether,” as the Scripture sailh, unlesß they be
agreed. Your conditional wil'o, Sally.
6. Sammy to Sally.
Dear Wifei —As no two persona in the world
aro “of tho same mind,” and, as woman rately has
the same mind more than half an hour, it is evi
dent, according to your views, that there ia no
such thing as marriage. 1 make bold, nevertho
loss, to differ from you in opinion, aud to subscribe
myself yet again.
Your atToctiouato husband, Sammy.
7. Sally to Sammy.
Dear Sami —I am persuaded that no man can
boa husband unless he considers his wife to be
the incarnation of God; aud that no woman boa
true wife who does uot consider her husband to
b3— ditto. If they thus look upon each other,
tr.ey are uot married, and will always differ.
Yours, incarnately, Sally.
8. Sammy to Sally.
Dear Sal :—l am not such a conceited block
head as to look upon either yon or myself as the
incarnation of God, being satisfied to know that
you are the sweetest of“little wives, and myself
the happiest of husbands.
Yours, lovingly, Sammy.
C. Sally to Simmy.
Dearest Hubby :—Come home and let me ki*-s
you! Wbat a tool 1 was to write you such silly
letters! But our old maid neighbor, Miss Phebe
Strorgmind, had been reading to me Henry C.
Wright’s book on marriage, which describes a
wife the incarnation of God to her husband, and
a husband us tho incarnation of God to his wife.
This sounded very pretty, ami 1 thought you ought
to have the same fooling yourself. But l see new
it is all a fudge, and 1 am sorry tnat 1 had not
your common sense to know this at aglarce.
Your repentant wife, Sally.
10. Simrnyio Sally.
Beloved Wife .-—Henry C. W right is a humbug.
All his new tangled nolious about marriage are
bah. Fancy definitions on this subject are absurd.
A ha.'band is a married man ; a wife is a married
woman ; and wedlock is the bond which unites
them. This is tho whole story. There are good
and bad husbands, and good and bad wives, just
as there are good and bad brothers and sisters;
but neither in marriage nor in anything else be
low stars are we to look for perfection. “To trr
is human.'* 1 llatter myself that you and 1, my
dear Sallv, have our little weaknesses, like other
people; Lut somo bow wo jog along very nice'y
together, and unless we get our heads turned by
some impracticable aud ridiculous theory, 1 have
no fear but we shall always love each other and be
harpy. Your affectionate husband,
Bammt.

AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1854.
From the Loudon Tone*.
Pierce, Cuba end Lre>town.
! Although tfce important events which agitate
J several purls, cf tho continent of Europe at the
J present iimo have no necessary connection with
: the relations of this and olber countries of the Old
World to tho United Slates of America, some
circumstances appear to iuUicate that Prevalent
Pierce is not disinclined to seek in these occur
rences for an occasion to retrieve his popularity,
and to Sigr.al.zd ins administration. The acou.si
lion of the Island ot Cuba and the extension of the
influence of the United Mates across the isrhmus
of Centra; America, or even along the course of tho
Arn-izm:*, have long been favorite ol j acts with that
class of American politicians to which Mr. Pierce
Deiocgs. The selection of bis advisers at home
aud of Lis fgenta abroad displayed a policy and a
spirit in the new Cabinet or Washington which
might be rousvd by favorable accidents to enter
prise and aggression ; and although wo do not
impute to the present American Government any
comprehensive or dcc.de l scheme oi this nature,
wo Lave iiule doubt that they are prepared to
tade advantage of auy incidents which may rouse
the passions of the community. On tho Ist of
August, just as the occurrence of revolutionary
disturbances in bpain had become known in
\N ashingtou, the President transmitted a Message
to the Senate ot the United S ates recommending
Congress to adept such provis.onal measures as
may be required in tho recess to enablo the Execu
tive Government to meet any exigency affecting
thu relations of the United States with tho topunuh
Government; and iu making this demand Mr.
Pierce did not scruple to add that, in view ot the
position ol the Island of Cuba, it eeem-jd impro
bable that peace* ul relations could long bo main
ta tied, »nd ttiut, in the event or the tsiiure of tho
negotiations began at Madrid, ho >-houid not heci
ta'.o to Uro ihe moans placed at his disposal to ob
tain regress for injuriu* received, and to vindicate
U o honor of the American iLg. A. he same time
no hope is i e d out that these negotiations are dk* iy
to prove successful. In the mouth ot tho Minister
ot a European Government such language would
v .ry nearly amount to a declaration oi war ; butiu
tho United Mates it means onlv that President
Pu "co wishes ’: thought r. ady to declare war
if UOugruos Afui lot nim. At the same time, we
have no doubt that he is eagerly watching for an
opportunity to distinguish his administration in
some conspicuous manner, and it -is probably with
a view to these chances that Mr. fcoulo has given
hia active assistance to tho revolutionary agtnts of
ali nations who arc atsembied at this t.mo in Ma
drid. The Spanish Government of the present
uxomeut, excited by the tccovcry of free institu
tions and popular leaders, is certainly not mere
likely to yield to the demand of the United States
than tho corrupt Administration which has just
been dissolved ; and General Concha has both the
ability and tt*6 integrity to defend Cuba against any
attack likely to bo made against it. At tho same
time, the most effectual mode oi prolonging the
connection of that island with the mother country
will be lo redress tho grievances of which it has to
complain, to recognize its rights, and to sweep
away the scandalous abuses which have flourished
on liie plunder of the colonial government. Pre
sident Pierce announces hiß determination to
check and put down ail private attempts to revo
lutioniz) Cuba from tho United Slates; but the
language iii which lie add rose es the Sjnate war
rants tho bolief that he would not be averse to
lend tho pox er of the Executive Government itself
to thia enterprise. During tho recess the Presi
dent has great power, for,although Congnssalone
can declare war, yet tho Executive Government
can send the forces of the United States V do aets
which render war inevitable. In this way, aud
without the previous assent ot Congress, the
Mexican war wus oegun, aud a similar catastrophe
may easily bo brought about.
The late affair at Greytowu has shown in a very
pot-iuve und shocking manner to what length the
present American Cabinet is preparod to go. We
wc ie willing at first to suppose that tho uuparallel
ed act of wanton destruction perpetra ed by Capt.
Hollins ot tho American sloop Cyano ou the 12th
of July, was the result ot sudden provocation, uud
was at 1 -ast unauthorized by the superior authori
ties. It turns out, however, that the provocation
giveu by the citizens of San Juan del Nicaragua
occurred in the month of May last, that the acci
dental affront offe;ed to Mr. Borlaud was reported
by that gentleman himself at Washington, and
that the sloop of war Cyaue was deliberately sent
out by tho American Government a month after
ward for the express purpose of exacting a repara
tion for the allcdged insult. Tho correspondence
on the subject and tho instructions given to Capt.
Hollins havo been laid beforo Congress, and the
world must judge from the result what the inten
tions ot tho Government were. Greytown was
brutally bombarded aud burnt, after the inhabi
tants had fled to the woods, and tho Americans
hud taken tho precaution of removing the two or
throo guns which alouo protected the placo. It is
.said that properperty to the amount of $500,t OJ
was destroyed, a great purt of which certainly bo
longed to American merchants, and some part to
British and oilier European houses. As the de
struction of this properly could havo no connection
with the offence imputed to the authorities of the
placo, the owners of it have a complete and irre
sistible caso for indemuity against tho United
States Government, especially as tho property was
deposited there under tho safeguard of a positive
treaty betweon Great Brituiu and the Uni ed
States, and no notice was given to enablo persons
interested to provide against this calamity. Her
Maiosty’s ship Boscawen will immediately proceed
to Greytown to afford protection lo British inter
ests on the Moequitto c ast, aud the British Gov
ernment cannot luil to give their most serious at
tention to this painful occurrence, which affords a
curious illustration of tho manner in whicu Presi
dent Pierce thinks ho is vindicating tho hono r of
the American lln<g. Tho protest made by Lieut.
Jolly, of her Mujisty’s schooner Bortnada, against
this abuse of superior force, was high y credible
to that officer, and distinctly warned Capt. Hollins
of tho consequences of thia attack.
Much as we regret occurrences, and tho
spirit they evince on tho part of tho Government
of the Uuited States, the upurehensious wo might
entertain as to their ulterior results are diminished
by the fact that theso acts are already disavowed
and condemned by all the moat enlightened and
honorable classes of society in that country. They
are regarded as tho measures ot a profligate and
incapuble Administration, which has deceived the
hopes of their constituents, and sacriticed many
of tho soundest principles of national policy. The
appointments to diplomatic offices in Spain, in
Central America, and in most other places made
by Mr. Pierce, were calcu’a ed rather to embroil
tho United States with foreign countries than to
uphold tho dignity of the Uuiou; and, if such
persons woro treated with disrospect, the fault did
not lay with those to whom these strango envoys
were accredited. Yot on these grounds the Presi
dent applies to Congress lor a vote which may
enable him to pursue these acts of violence againbt
foreign States upon any oxigency that may aris ;
but wo confidently hope that tho Senate of the
Uuited States and the public opinion of that couu
try will resist those dangerous demands and take
tho necessary measures to check llio American
Goveru'nont in a course of policy which must
otherwise lead to very mischievous aud embarras
sing results. Fortunately tor tho world, the Ad
mioiatraticn of Mr. Pierce has already lost the
confidence ot tho American people to such a
degree that these extravagant proceedings arc
more likely to strengthen tho opposition than to
restore tho populari.y of tho President.
Lire at Saratoga Sprint*.
Mien Cummings, au hor ( f “ The Lamplighter” —
Thorn, ike Millionaire, dec.
A correspondent of the Mobile Tribune, dating
from Saratoga, gives us the following sketch of the
grout literary debutante ot the season, <fec.:
Gentlemen: —You ask me for <( a picturo of
men and scenes at Saratoga.*’ lam no artist. If
1 wore, the task you have assigned me could not
bo accomplished on a canvnxo so limited as the
sheet before me. Yet I must attempt tho outlines
of a few distinguished personages, with a refer
ence to seme incidents which 1 huve noted since
my arrival at this great emporimm of gossip and
fushion.
To my fancy, tho decided genius and lioness of
of the place is the beautiful and gifted Miss
Cummings, of Dorchester, authoressot the Lamp
lighter. 1 have enjoyed many pleasures with her
since my arrival, and appreciate her acquaintance
more highly than any other made in my summer
tour. Bhe is yet in her teens, and to a Southern
ey * docs not appear to be over soveuteen years of
ago. Her complexion is clear and beautiiul—her
expression mild and amiable —forehead of me
dium height—large liquid eyes, a la Kossuth—
auburu hair —a form of almos. perfect mould—
graceful yet dignified in manner—has a clear voice,
and is one ot the finest conversationalists I ever
encountered. Bat above all, 1 admire the modesty
and simplicity ot her manner. She is as artless
as a peasaiiless, and as invulnerable to vanity and
flattery as a stoic. I am assured that in penning
the thrilling story of Gertrude and Wilhe, Miss
Cummings had no expectation oi interesting any
one beyond tho circle of her own acquaintance ;
for, l«ke Dana’s “Two Years Before the Mast,”
Tho Lamplighter was written only for perse..al
gratific tiou, and the amusement ot a few kindred
and friends—yet by circumstances, which I need
not relate, it lias, in the short space of eighteen
months, been pressed into 6Q,u00 volumes, and
read with interest and avidity by as many admi
Irsrs. She is the daughter ot J adge Cummings, of
Dor.hester, who has been long and favorably
known to the bar and bench of the Bay State. 1
hope that Uncle True’s is not the only light with
which this gifted lady will illumine and cceer tho
literacy mind of the country.

There are many others who have claims on my
pencil, but lest I may worry you I will not at
tempt their portraiture. Os the number are Ex-
President Tyler, Revedy Johnson, Col. May, Law,
Vanderbilt and Thom, of New Ycrk; Lamar, of
B ooklyu; and Mrs. Rush, of Philadelphia— to
say nothing of Seward and a host of his satellites
too dim to shiue, exoept from the Ethiopian can
vass on which their unjust opposition to southern
interests has p'aced them. Thorn, to whom I
refer, has made a lion of himself by indulging in
extravagances end excentricities. fle is the man
who so ecl*p6ed the emperor of France in the
splendor of his “turn out.” He is said to have
driven four span ot horses, richly caparisoned, to
the most splendid carriage in Europ*e. The Em
peror, unwilling that any one should go in better
ftylo than himself ordered h m to appear no more
in the streets of Paris with the aforesaid establish
ment.
His party consists of his wife, two daughters,
beaux, attendants, pages, maids, grooms, dtc. I
w tnessed a few days since tho ceremony of their
prepaiation to ride. Five steeds and a carriage,
with a groom and drivers, in finest livery to each,
were first presented opposite the U. 6. Hotel.
Ntx came the parry with their maids and at
tendants. A beautiful u ahogany bay horse was
first led up, whereupon grooms and servants took
their position to perform the feat of mounting the
fair Miss to her saddle. She placed her foot in
the white gloved hand of the groom on the left
side, who gracefully p aced her in the «add c, while
on the right stood another re-dy to catch the
jewel, if perchance, it should drop that way.
Then came the maids to adjust the riding dress
and place her foot in the s?irran. This and similar
ceremonies with her Mster being accomplished,
the beaux and attendants mounted, the old folks
ascended their carriage and eff they put as if to a
funeral. This ceremony must have taken a halt
hour-long enough—as 1 beard an Alabama girl
remark, for a Southern party to have mounted
and taken a respect ble ride. I forgot to note that
after the adjustment of the young ladies’s dresses,
reins, the hordes were sugared (fed) from the
hands of the grooms, which, I suppo-e, was to
sweeten their gaits and spirit for the evening’s
performer ee.
Mobile has an agreeable representation here, all
of whom are in the full tide or health and pleasure,
and anxiously waiting the approach of autumn,
whan they hope to return to the sunny south, and
receive a welcome from the loved ones at home.

Don Jose M. ria do la Torro has recently pub
lished u work on Cuoa, which is lull of statistical
mtormuiii u in regard to that island, some of which
we have thought fit to compile, and now present
to our readers.
Toe present population of Cubu is ostimuted at
1,060,cu0, though the opinion i. expressed that it
roaches 1,600,000; 6ul,Ußd are whites; 176,647
nee colored, uud the retuainiug 380,423 are slaves.
The transient white population, not included in
the above estimate, is 40/040. Tue eutiro white
population is 642.828, the black population 517,072.
i’hc nationulitns of the innabitanto are as follows:
Natives ot Spain 20,000, of ihj Canary Island*
25,000, of France B,uuo, of England 1,000, aud of
North America aud other countries 3,000 ; leaving
uioie tuaii 400,000 us natives of tho 1.-iand.
The area of Cuba, including its appendagos, is
8,978 tqunro leagues, giving 264 inhabitants to the
fquaro league, or 29 to .ne square mile. The
pupulatb n i» compouuded ot tne Cauoaßiun, Airi
cun, American, und Mongolian races.
Negroes from Africa were first introduced into
Cuba in 15k4. It is said tuat millions of negroes
have been introduced into Cuba whose numbers
were dimiuishoi by the rigorous treatment of
thoir European musters. Tho African nations
that furnish slaves to Cuba are the the
Gangos, the Mma», tho Luca mica, the Carubalies,
the Oongos, and the Mucuate. Since 1847, tho
Y’ucxtecos, or nuiives of Yucatan, have been intro
duced into tuo island. Colonists irom China have
also been recently introduced. The number is set
down at 6,t‘Uo. They ure introduced by contract
us apprentices for * term of years, and are em
ployed like the Africans as field laborers.
“Half the world (suys De Bow’s Review) are
frightened at mere name?. Tho present E.igliuh
oper dive t-ystem, iu which white men, women aud
uuildren u»o woraed as ha’d as our stout negroes,
uud that, for a hare Btha bloncc, is cunaidcred
by enlightened Europeans, aud by some Ameri
cans, as perfectly humaue, philanthropic, aud
Christian like; but tho very same amount of labor
perlormed by our well fed and clothed slaves, un
der the name of slavery, s considered by the*o
sa e enlightened Europoms and Americans as
monstrous, cruel, infamous 1 So much f«r a mere
name. In Cubu it is getting to be considered Quite
infamous to use African slaves; but to mako a
poor Chin*man do tho same amount of work, un
der a tropicul sun, for a n oro pittance, and under
the name of freeman, is considered quite reasona
ble, honorable, hurnano and Ghristiau like! One
of the graud results of the civilization of the nine
teenth century is, that it is quite honorable to en
slave the white man, in fact, under tho name of
freedom; aud tho very height of humanity and
decency to turn tho negro race loose upon tho
world, to roam among the whites in idleness and
vagabondage.”
The military force of the Island is at this time
considerable), if wo may credit tho representations
of the author of this new work on Cuba, whoso
estimates seem to have received tho sanction of
the Captain-General.
The army comprises sixteen regiments of in
fantry, of 1,000 men each ; two companies of
kicked men, 125 in number ; two regiments of
ancors, of tour squadrons each, embracing 602
men and 500 horses ; and four light squadrons of
150 moil and 125 horses, each. There is also a
regiment of tool, with eight batteries of artillery, a
brgade of five batteries, and a company of sappers
and miners. There is, moreover, one regiment of
militia infantry, one of disciplined militia cavalry,
aud eight rural squadrons of two companie* each.
According to this official statement, there is in
Cuba a laud forco of 24.438 troops, which has been
recently swelled to Bo,U'JO by the arrival from Spain
of 6,500 Spanish soldiors.
The naval forco consists of one frigate of 44 guns,
seven brigantines carrying 104 guns, eleven steam
vessels with fifty-four guns, 4 schooners with 11
guns, 2 gun bouts with 6 guns and 2 transports ;
iu all 25 vessels and 219 guns, maun d by B,oob
men. Two war steamers are also being built in
Spain lor Cuba.
M. Torre does not give the revenues and expen
ditures of Cuba since 1851. For that year ho states
that tho revenues ol tho island amounted to $lB,-
821,456, aud the expenditures to $11,969,750. Tho
casual reader, whoshould suppose from this state
ment that tho people of Cuba were tuxod only
$13,821,456, in 1851, and that there was an excess
of revenue over expenditure during that year of
$1,851,706 would fall into a grievous error. Tbe
amount mentioned as the revenues of the island
is tho amount ot revonuo which the treasury of
Spain receives Irom the island, aud the sum of
$11,969,750 mentioned is tho cost of tho internal
administration of tho island which the inhabitants
have to pay over and above tho revenues furnished
Spain. Thus the uctual taxation in the island, for
tho year 1851, amounted to $25,821,466!
There are 851 miles of railroad in the Island
connecting some of the most important places. The
magnetic telegraphic is also in operation in several
purts of Cuba.
There are at present 1,560 sugar plantations,
1,218 coffeo plantations, 5,128 eatllo farms, 18
chocolate plantations, 224 cotton plantations, 84,-
489 fruit and V3getable farms, 7,979 tobacco
plantations, and 2,254 honey a d wax farms.
The entire exports ot Cubu iu 1851 amounted to
$81,841,688, and the entiro imdortato $62,811,430,
which, uo doubt, would be quadrupled by ita an
nexation to the United States.
Lute in Paris. —From two stand points one may
soo tho Extremes of Parisian life. From two let
ton* before us, written in August, wo make the
following extracts:
TIIK LOBXTTEB AND GBIRnTES.
The Paris correspondent of the St. Louis Repub
lican writes of tlioso und of the gardens:
They wear the richest toilettes, ride in tho finest
carriages, occupy tbo beat seals at the theatre, and
their modest deportment in tho street masks their
true character, and ensures them politeness and
respect. Yet at these gardens they would by no
means refuse a fifty or hundred franc supper at
Maieon Dore or Troie Freres , should it be offered
them, and at times will not even hesitate to ask it,
and should the acquaintance be further continued,
more valuable presents. Each garden has a band
of music in attendance, aDd a spot allotted for
dancing, and hero they laugh, talk, and dance the
gayest of the gay. Their partners are generally
students, clerks and military men, no stranger
ever dating to attempt any of their fantastic qua
drilles. Paris contains over 8,000 students from
different porticos of the world, and each, save and
except the United Sthtos, has representatives who
resort to these balls for pastime and recreation in
dancing. It in a rare, very rare, exception to see
one from the latter nation mingling in their dances,
but if present are found among the spectators. It
may be that their peculiar education, received in
their mother land, and which keeps them from it
ther<», may influence them also horo.
What a life do theso lorettes lead ! one of gaiety
and continual excitement. They never think of
the future—the present is all to them. Ask a
medical stadent t eir career: Firstly, he sees one
of the richest toilet on the Boulevard , or the ad
mired beauty of some bail, and receiving the courts
of flatterers. A few months later, and ho may see
her in his hospital visits, prostrate; the victim ot
excitemeot and dissipation, or even constitutional
vice. And yet a lew months later, and he may see
her mortal remains occupying one of the dissect
ing tables of Clamart, awaitiDg the scalpel to finish
the last scene.
Heavy Robbery. —B2o,ooo to |30,000 Stolen
from an Exfbe s Mfs.'ENgger. — Mr. James D.
Radcliffe, carrier of the United States Express
Company, was robbed at tho Depot of the Ciccin
nali, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad, last evening,
of tho carpet bog containing the money of his
tnp. The exact sum lost is net yet known, but it
caunot be less than 830,000, and probably twice
that sum. _ _
The light express wagon sent from the office for
the package*, was waiting at one cf the depot doors
when Mr. Radci:ff* arrived. He took the morey
carpet bßg, placed it near the seat, and momenta
rily turned to adjust another package. W hen he
turned round to take the carpet-hag again noi
more than three seconds of time having elapsed—
it was gone, and in tne darkn ssand confuaion no
clue was got to tho scoundrel, who undoubtedly
had dogged the messenger all day waiting tor the
slighted chance to grab the prize. It happened
that no police offic rs were present at the time,
and a good while elapsed before tho services of
ar.y were secured. Some of our mo*t expert
policemen now have the matter in hand, and will
use every exertion to ar r est the daring thief.
The U. S. Expies* Company has managed all ita
business with great care as well as promptness and
dispatch; Mr. lUicliffe is a responsible and
vigilant man, and it seems 6trange enough that the
thief should have secured the bag. If the loss
should lall upon the Express Company, remitters
need feel no apprehension of its r esponsib*lity
ar.d readiness to do what is light in the premises.—
Cin. Daily Time ?, inst.
Commodoee Stewart.— ln looking over the list
of retired tfficerh in the Hoes. Navalbili, we find
the name ot this gallant veteran officer, now at
the head of Captains. It is good to reoonnt tne
brat e deeds ot ttia son of the sea. As long .go
as the vears 1795-9 we find him commanding an
armed vessel of this government, and haa ever
borne the character ot oeing dannUestly brave,
and a mott skilful seaman. It wae he command
ed the Constitution during |he laat war, wh«n she
encountered the English ingate Levant and the
.heavy sloop-of-war Cyans, and after a long, tough
and spirited engagement, she captured them both.
The Commodore acquired grttit renown in this
engagement; crew evinced also the greatest
courage and coni-ummate skill in the management
of the vessel. The Cyane first struck her colors,
and the Levant, after exhibiting great boiduees,
submitted to the heavy broadsides poured into her
by “ Old Ironsides.”
The Commodore is an old man, and alter such
gallant services, it seems hard, that he should be
laid aside as useless lumber, and his pay reduced
in extreme age. By reference tc the Register, we
fiod that be entere<{ the Navy oq the 9th Ma ch,
Had, has served on sea twenty-two years and
two months, and haa been ui-empioyed for 19
years and 9 months, and was at Lee !aat in Novem
ber 1=43, and at present is commanding the Navy
Yard a: Philadelphia. Fifty-six years of his life
k has been devot- d to his coonliy, and a faithful
performance of duty haa ever c aracterlxsd him.
He exalted the American flag to a high send in
the engagement mentioned above. Why not
. make him Admiral? CbaHe* Btewart’s name

M tcied Tinetore ot Iron la Yellow Fever.
©give below the note of Dr. Harris, to which
we made allusion jestorday. Dr. H. thinks the
Muiiatcd Tincturo of Iron is destined to work a
revolution in the mortality of the city—in which
we trust he is entirely correct; he bolieves more
over, that it is the most efficacious remedy that
can be used in Yellow Fever, though, he requests
M to f*y, fce does not consider it infallible.
fcucc too is the opinion of Dr. Wildman. While
ne admits that no human remedy can succeed un
if r * 1 circumstances, he is yet of opiuion that
• his mode of treatment in Yellow Fever ap
proaches more nearly to mathematical certainty
than be ever expected to witness in the medical
treatment of any other disease. —Saiaitnah Re
publican, 5iA irut.
Mxssas. Editohs :—Having read tho remark* oi
my friend Dr. Wildman, 1 takopleasure iu adding
my testimony to the truth of what ho has statod
in reference to the gcnoral efficacy of tbe Muriatcd
Tincture of Iron iu the epidemic now provident iu
oar city.
It has bean observed by some of my medical
brethren that ita use was at variance with nil our
preconceived idea* of the pathology of Yel ow
Fever, and I con leas myself to h*vo entertained
similar views when it was first suggested to mo in
consultation with another practitioner, tsa remedy
for the fatal black vomit. But lam sure that
many of the articles of cur Materia Mecjica have
been from time to time iwproj erly classified, aud
from the experience, during ti e last two or three
years, of Tincture of Iron in Erysipelas, it cannot
reasonably be considered as contra-indicated by
the existence of inflammation. I am confident,
from close obiervution of ita effects in a large
Dumber of cas*« of Yellow Fever, that its action
is that of a refrigerant diaphoretic—that it allays
pain, and produces sloep, and by preserving the
mlegr ty of the blood enables the system to resist
the depression so universally attendant upon the
second stage of tho diseaso. It presents, iu fact, a
very happy combination of Hydrochloric acid, iu
exo.as, with iron, the tormer of which, it is well
known, has been given with great success by tho
celebrated Dr Paris iu malignant forms of lover,
whila the latter, Iron, ba- J been universalJy sc-,
knowledgcd as an incomparable tonic from timo
immemorial.
I concur entiro'y with Dr. Wildm..n, that it
should be exhibited at the earli-st possible stage
of the fever, and, when possible, without awaiting
the preliminary action cf any other medicine. It
is well known that the revulsive influence of a sal
ivaiion has always been regarded as the gront de
sideratum of the Mercurial treatment in Yellow
Fever; and I am convinced that it will be no small
recommendation of the Muriated Tincture of Iron
to lha profession wuen it is understood, as I am
now prepared to assort, that it will produce saliva
tion in a much greater number of Yellow Fever
cases, than Calomel will. This effect, duo to the
fjee Hydrochloric acid, is very far from being at
tended by tho pain and discomfort of Mercurial
ptyaliem, and is moreover, not at all indispensable
to a euro.
With respect to tho dose, it mast necessarily bo
discretionary with tbe practitioner, and it cannot
be necessary to remind the profo.-sion that even
the U. S. Dispensatory allow* a maximum of two
fluid drachms. There cannot, I think, be auy
question of its clodded utility; and in cot-junction
with sinapisms and blisters wi.l be so .nd to di
minish the mortality to a very inconsiderable pro
portion when brought into action boforo tho su
pervention ot black vomit.
In conclusion, I beg to remark that tho preaenoe
of a terrible peatiionce ainoDgst us, and the necessi
ty for immediate action, must constitute my apolo
gy for departing from strict modi cal ethic* iu ad
Grossing the profession through the daily press.

Progress of the Pect.lence.
For some time wo have added littlo to the sad
tilo daily told by tko interment reports, of tho de
struction that is wasting our population—carrying
death to so many homes, anguish to bo many
hearts. Disappointed in onr first cautiously cx
press d anticipation of an early abatement of the
mortality, we have remained silent, in tho hope
that each BuccocdiM day would enable us to givo
positive assurance #at the disease was disappear
ing trom our midst. Alas l that hope is still de
ferred. In proportion to tho population in the
city, we have reason to tear that tho number of
sick is greater whilo wo write than at any previous
period. Yet we have no reason to change the
opinion alroady expressed, that the epidemic is not
of a peculiarly malignant type. It is not the (ne
cessarily) fatal character of the diseaso ho much as
the immense nurubor of those»fllicted, that makes
tho picture now presented by the city bo dark and
appalling. Undor tho treatment now generally
pursued, wa are convinced that with physicians
sufficiently numerous to afford prompt advio j, and
nurses to give adequate attention, tho mortality
might be reduced, almost immediately, one half,
perhaps throe-fourths. But with the cases cer
tainly not diminishing, whilo the energies and
strength of the physicians uro necessarily failing
—wo know not when to expect to see tho end, or
even any important improvement.
As might bo o pecked tho bnisness of tho city is
almost suspended. The leading and largest hotel,
the Pulaski,|closes to day. It is intimated, (wo
hope erroneously) that the Marshall, noxt in size,
will soon do the liko. Half tho boarding houses,
(our own among the number) have been deserted
by their proprietors.
Our reproter tells us that ho has counted west of
Bull street, 95 bu is ness houses, all shut up.
“Closed on account of sickness,” meets the eye at
every turn as wo wa’k through our beautiful c.ty.
Yes “beautiful”—for never seemed its outward
aspect more lovely. For as ho looks upon its
squares, mantled with green—upon its trees in all
the richness of their foliage, with soft breezes
sweeping through their brauches—who can realize
that he is in tho midst of death I It is only as the
hearse, with its mournful train slowly r»asaeea.
that ho is aroused to tho sad reality. —Savannah
Georgian, 6 th imt.
Progress c» tub FrvEit in Charleston. —The
report of the City liogister shows a great increase
of mortality during the 21t hours ending last even
ing. Wo do not suppose that the average increase
ia to bo estimated by this eompurativo advance on
preceding reports, but the disease is now general
ly diffused, and tho whole uuacolimaied popula
tion may be considered within its influence. Nor
can wo orpect any sensible change, except from
tho diminution of subjects, and tho gradual ob
oendeucy of tho influences of cool weathor.
In the meantime, whatovor can be done by the
untiring labors of our physicians, and the hu
manity of our people to relieve th* suffering and
danger of the siek, we aro saro will bo faithfully
performed.— (JharUzton Mercury , 7 thinst.
The Unappreciated Sky !—“lt is estrange thing
how litue, in general, pooplo know about tho sk>.
It is the part or creation in which nature has done
more for the sako of pleasing man—more ter the
solo and evident purpose of talking to him, and
teaching him, than any other of her work*; and it
is just tho part in which wo least aUend to her.
There are not many of her other work* in winch
some more material or'essential purpose than the
mere pleasing oi men, is not auswered by every
part of tboir ©rcaniantion; but a very essential
puTpoae of the sky mirht, so fur ns wc know, bo
answered, if, onoe io throe days or thereabout*, a
great ugly black rain-cloud were brought uu over
the bine, and everything well watered, and so all
let bue again till next time, with perhaps a dim of
morning and evening mist for dow. And, instead
ot this, there is not a moment of any day of our
lives, when nature is not producing scene after
scene, picture after picture, glory after glory, and
working still upon such exquisite and constant
principles of tha most perfect beauty, that it is
quite certain that it is all done for ns, and iitcnd
ed for onr perpotual pleasure. And every man,
whefsver placed, however far from other sonr
oas of interest or of beauty, has tnii doing for
him constantly. The aoblest scenes of tho earth
can bo seen and known but by sow; it is not in
tended that mat should live always in tho midst
of them; ho injures them by his presence, he
ceases to feci them, if he be always with them;
but the sky is for all: bright as it is, it is not “too
bright nor too gooddor human nature’s daily food.”
Sometimes gentle, sometimes capricious, some
times awful; never tho same for two moments to
gether; almost human in its passions—spiritual in
its tenderness —aimo*tdivino in its infinity- its
appeal to what is immortal in r.s is as distinct as
its ministry of ohastisemenf or of blessing to what
is mortal, is essential.
“And yet wo never attend to it—wo never make
it a subject of thought, but as it h*»» to do with our
animal sensation; we look upon all by which it
speaks to us more clearly than to brute-*—upon all
whice bears wituess of the intention of the Bu
preme, that wo aro to roceivo more from the cov
ering vault thsn the light and the dew which wc
share with the weed and the worm—only a* a suc
cession of meaningless and monotonous accidents,
too common and too pamtul to be worthy of a mo
ment of watchfulness or a glance of admiration.—

Fair of the Bouthera Ceatral Agriculture Society.
Tho Southern Cultivator contains the rules and
regulations, and gentral prospectus o! tho ninth
annual Fair of the Southern Centra! Agricultural
Society, to he held in Augusta on the 28, 24, 25,
28, 27 and 28th of October.
It is stated that the Hon. Mr. Crittenden, of
Kentucky, has been invited to deliver the annual
address, and other addresses by distinguished
speakers have been arranged for the several days
of the Fair. We feel peculiar satisfaction at the
appointment of Mr. Crittenden ;—first, because he
isagen-leman of eminent ability, secondly, and
especially, because tho Freesoilers of Ohio took
occasion to rescind an invitation which had been
given him, to address an agricultural society of
that Bute, for the reason that *3 a lawyer, he took
part in th' defence of a eon of an old friend,
charged with murder at Louisville. As an offset to
thir gr. tuitoua insult to a distinguished Southern
statesman, we trust that he will be received at
Augusta, with especial honor.— Hat. Otorgian.
Process cf Making Shot.—The pig lead is car
ried to the top of the tow. r by windWsand chain,
and worked by steam; it is then put in a furnace,
kept constantly burning night and day, and at
tended by two seta of men—one for the fire and
two to pour the melted ead in tin strainers. After
rassing the strainer it falls a distance of 150 feet,
the passage through the air giving the shot their
shape or form. Tney fall into a larger tub or iasin
of water ; here a man is engaged in dipping them
out with a ladle and throwing them on an inclined
plane, down which they run to a drum heated by
steam and worked by machinery, so as to dry the
shot, when dry they are passed into a revolving
dram, which stops by action of machinery every
five minute* lor polisniDg them ; from this drnm
they are thrown into a hopper, and fr jm this pass
over & series of inclined planes, where the defec
tive shot are carried off, and then through reives
in*o drawer*, where they aro assorted by the action
of machinery on selves ; then into the large boxes,
from which they are tak.n and put in sacks,
weighed, and ara ready for use.
Christianity in Layland.— Though now it is
near three centuries siLce the 6wcdes began to
extend the gospel in Lapland, it h s hitherto made
little progress. The inhabitants, it is true, are
professed Christians ; but their Christianity is
merely nominal, and among some of them the form
of it may be sought in vain. Traces of their hav
ing offered sacrifices to the gods of their farthers
are occasionally di>covered amvtg them. Few of
them reside in the neighborhood of the churches;
and, indeed, tney seldom attend them, unlesson
the solemn festivals, or at a fair, when they have
the sacraments administered to them. To insure
their attendance, they are subjected to a heavy fine
and a severe penance if they neglect the appoin
ted festivals. The clergy, each as they are, go
little among them, except daring the ehort sum
mers ; they ere careful, however, to attend the
winder markets to receive their pay, and to sell
them spirituous liquors, of which they are immod
erately fond, end of which it is said, they can d-mk
an enormous quantity without being intoxicated.—

A Picnic Party Surrounded by Fire in tbe Woodr,
Last week, on Friday, a gay and thoughtless
party of males and females, some thirty in tin ü
ber, provided themselves with pails and baskits
of al! capacities, segars, ginger pop and lunchen,
and jumping inio a railroad car, rodo to a station
on tho Albany and Boston railroad that was in the
immediate vicinity of one of the tallest of tho
Barshire range of mountains. This hill was stid
to be covered with countless bushels of blackber
ries, ail “dead ripe,” aud ail of the high bush
variety, which are the largest aud the sweetest.
They loft tho station in high spirits, and in a
few minutes were buried in a wilderness of that
line and beautiful fruit that they went out t >
seek.
Au hour of persevering picking resulted in fill
ing ©very vessel they had carried with them, and
as they gathered at the spot appointed for lunch
ing, a secluded nook in a pLce coverod with vor
duro, watered by a littlo brook of pure cold wstor,
a d surroanded on oil sides but one by beetling
cliff*—they found themselves fatigued, wofully
lacerated by tho prickers aud thorn*, thoir drosses
L ( i rn Ji ad,v ’ . u ® d and faces deeply dyed with
olackberry juice, but with keen appetites and pails
and bassets all Leaped up aud loaning over with
fine ripe frmt. *
and devoured their ample lunch,
guted their segars, drank their pop, and indulged
wo or tlireo hours in songs, tales, dances, and
other pastimes.
It was kuown to them when they first started
for tho mountain that a portion of it was on fire
but, of the conflagration the/ thought nothing,
being entirely absorbed iu their pickinr and
amusements. But the smoke grow dense, the air
became hot and st.ll ng, the wind wore up, and
the fall of an immese burning cinder into their very
midst rou-ed tho thoughtless party to a realizing
idea of what was iu progress above and arouud
them. Looking up, jadgo of the r oons'ernation
when they saw themselves almost begirt by a tre
mendous conflagration, which had spread with
nearly the sped of the windfthat fanned ibe flames
and urged forward tho destruction ! Their only
way of escape was through the narrow gorge down
which the little brook plunged, and the flames
wore rapidly approaebiug both, sides of oven that
chtthco lor exit I
Not a moment was to be lost 1 Al) rnshod in
stinctively for the narrow opening before them,
leaving behind them more than half the berries
they had picked. But they found that the little
brook could run where they could not—and that
precipices, underbrush, |uo path, and the *t fling
stroke that blew hot in thoir faces, and blinded
their eyes, rendered their piogress slow. Aud it
was slow. The ladies had to bo helped at every
steonlmo?t; overhead, and uoariy all around was
a world of fire. Beforo them was just a narrow
way of escape yet, and that might at auy moment
be crossed, and they completely surrounded by a
belt of fire.
Eagerly they pressed forward—ihe stoutest lead
ing the way, uud ail encouraging each other as
well as they could.
The air grow thicker and darker. The heat was
dreads ul. Sparks and cinders foil like rain around
them. Their clothiug wr* repeatedly on fire.
Tho roar and crackle of tho flames was almost
deafening end occasionally the fall of ft burning
' roe crashed upon thoir ears and added to their
torrors.
At last, when some were growing too weak to
go farther, two had fainted and had to ba carried,
and their condition was momently becoming m<> e
and more desperate aud hopoioss, suddenly the
wind chopped around and mew u fierce blast up
the narrow ravine the party were travelling ! —All
were instantly invigorated, rolievod of thesmoke
infront, and heartly oncouragod. With a shout
they prossed forwiird aguin, and in about fifteen
minutes succeeded in gaining a point beyond
immediate danger, and in an hour more wore on
thoir way home in the railway car.
Their oscupA was a narrow one indeed. Not
half an hour had elapsed a ter thoir escane ere the
trees and brush cf the ravine woro in a blazo and
their trysting pluce was lost in a delugo ot fire.
One of the rescued party told us the story of his
adventure with the ro?t, and fairly ghudderod
wh3n ho came to what ho termed the “tightest
spot,” where there was “a smart chance for a
bj/baeus (f lieckel-folks?'

California llird Snake.
Alexander S. Taylor, of Monterey, in his “Fa
miliar Sketches of the Natural History of Califor
uia,” says, that in the coost couuties of Southern
California there exists a singular species of bird,
generally railed on account of his well known
mortal a.ei iou to all members of tho snake tribe,
the “snake bird,” It is not a bird of prey, but
lives entirely on grain, like the gallinacia. Whin
full grown, it measures two feet from tho end ol
its tail to the tip of its beak. The tail has four or
five long feathers tipped with white. Its feet aro
furnished with four toes, two in frout and two
behind, aud all aro guardod with sharp, needle
like claws. The color of tho bird is a mottled,
yellowish gray, and it rarely attains »he weight ol
a pound. Its beak is two and a half inches long,
and very hard and sharp.
When this biid fiuds a rattlesnake—and rattle
snakes uro to be found in great numbers in South
ern Calfornia, wherever the ground is covered by
tho cactus plant—it immediately proceeds, wilh
tho greatest caution and despatch to gather the
fallen cactus fruit and dry lobes, and quietly eti
eiono him in to the bight of a foot or more—the
spikes and spines of tli3 plant strong and sharp as
needles, serving as an inNurrnonntablo barrier to
the escape ot tho snake. Tbiß being aocoomplish
ed, the bird gathers with its feet and claws tho
young conos 0/ the pine which aro as hard and
heavy as stones, at d hovering over its enemy, lets
them fall, ono by one, from a height of five or nix
feet, upon the iuluriaiod viper, who, surrounded
by prickles and points wherever ho turns, is soon
fully aioused to the danger of bi 3 powition. The
bird, with malicious screams, continues to drop
cone after cone, until his foe is oxhausted, and
then picks the snake to death with its iron beak.
[ “Seems like” this may be true, but we’d rath
er not believe it.]
A Chinese Wonder. —Europeans and Americans
aro very apt to consider the Chinese as barbarians,
when compared with onr own and other Christian
nations. Yet we aro constantly meeting wi h
facts in rslaiion to that singular people, which
put to tho blush all oar vainglorious boasting.
What are our great canals when competed with
that extraordinary work of art, the imperial Canal
of China, which whs built by the Mongol Emperor,
Kubloi Khan, and extends a distanoe .of more
than 800 miles! Cieat heigbta are tunnelled,
lakes bridged, and stupendous ombanKments
thrown over marshes and low ground to afford it
a passage. Unlike our canal*, its capacity is not
limited to small boats, but large ships sail upon
its waters, which ere filled by mighty rivers, and
Bervc not only tho purpose of a commercial high
way, but aro used for the two fold objects of irri
gation and drainage, thus rendering available for
cultivation much land which would otherwise be
useless. This canal has been pronounced by
Europeans a gignautic work, aud ono displaying
sound practical engineering skill, and even genius
in its construction. Yet it is only one among
many achievements of art to be found on o larger
scale in China than in any other country in the
world. Doubtless,they maybe, for electioneering
or warlike purposes ; but in many other respects
they will prove of quite as much utility to the
Eureka Slate as their self suifi jient traducers.
To Pedestrians.— We extract the subjoined hints
to Pedestrians irom Monroe’s Southern Banker
and Oommeroiil Roportcr for August:
“Pedestrian* would save themselves a great
deal of trouble and vexation, if they would recol
lect to turn to the right in parsing a gentleman.
How often iB it tho case, that two persons will
stand bobbing first on odg side and then the other,
until they have to stand still and look at each other
through sheer exhaustion. What an awful time
we have had sometimes in this matter. You can
not become displeased with your fellow-worker, as
it is evident that he does as mach as you do, else
his head would not be bobbing about to meet
youis at every turn.
“To the .adies, gentlemen should always turn
to tho outside, giving them the inner one, and
plenty of it too. We hope, after this, that our
precious noddles will not bo sutjacted to such
bobbing exerciee.”
To the above we would add, always keep io the
right hand in riding or driving, and thus avoid
many awkward anddar.gero s mishaps on the road.

huch as to leave no possible source of apprehen

Ou Saturday, 19th, tho English steamer, Basi

rived at D-intsic with the intoi.igeuce that at
half-past 12 o’clock on tho alternoon of tho 10th
ult., the fortress ot Bemarsund capitulated, and
tho garrison, numbering 2,000 men, were imme
diately embarked cn board tbe allied floet. There
was but little loss ot life on either side, the French
having lost 120 killed, and the British only S or 4
The Rcund Towers behind Bumarsnnd, mimed
Forts Tsee aud Nottich, had been previously re
duced, being no difficult task, as they were garri
soned by only one hundred aud twenty men each.
A handful ot artillerymen i.i Tzee made a stout
defonce, fifty being killed, and only thirty tivo
taken unhurt. Nottich was earned without loss.
Both forts wo’o blown up, and tho main assault
uiadoon Bomarsund, and the walls of which woro
badly damaged bolore the garrison oensetued to
suvreuder. The honor of the victory belongs
wholly to the French, who fought with tho great
est braverv. On Sunday, tho 20th, tho guns of
tho It.valides announced this victory to the citizens
of Paris. Our privato accounts from Dantzic state
tlmt tue number ot prisoners does not exceed 1500,
and that they havo been sontto Ledsund. It was
reported Vat a considerable proportion of the
garris m had succeeded lu retiring, aud that it was
iutendod entirely to evacuate aud destroy the
works, but the attack of the allies prevented this
intention from being carried into effect. An ovor
whilmingdi-play of lorco was made by the allies.
No fewer than fifteen sail of tho line—ot which 8
ships fnd 4 stoamors were Fronch—lay with their
broadsides within range of the tortress. The allies
claim to havo found 100 pieces of cannon mounted
aud dismounted.
From tbe circumstance that Admiral Napier had
issued a notice warning all neutral vessels to leave
the port of Riga beforo the 10th cf August—it was
surmised that Riga would be the next port of at
tack. Tbe prisoners will bo sent to France on
board English ships. Gen. B.iraguuy do Uillicrs

truo, fulfil all the objocts of tho al.ianco of the \ wo
great German powers, but that it grants more than
was demanded by the note of Vienna, June Bd.
Tho article on tho reciprocal obli
gations of tho two Gsrmun powers is therefore
completely oxocutod. If other steps woro consid
ered * ocessary for the interest of Germany, fresh
conventions must take place between the contract

It should be stated that, ol this l-.st number,
o'ght tenths aro hiberors and unacclimated p rsons
to whom, ns the daily reports show, the epiuttnio
is principally confined. Many of them aro poor,
and in times like these it is next to imj o-tibio to
provide proper nursing for them. The medical
force is also limited, several members ol tie pro

Upon inquiry, we icuru that thisiuuy be attributed
