about mv bon.-e. The lesson that Nancy sed we

word she sed was

I locked rite at her hard for doia so improper
bn . she went rite on and sed:
Thon .ovest,
He loves,
and I reckon yon never heered snob a riggarmy
role in your life—lose, love, love, and nothin but
love. See sed one time,
I did love.
ties I, “who did you love! Then the acho'lars
luffed, bat I wesu’t to be put off and I sed “who
did yon love, Nancy f Iwantto know—who did
you love f” The schoolmaster, Mr. MctJnilHster,
pu in and aed he wood exp sue when Nancy,
finished the lesson. This sorter pacyfied me and
Nance went on with awful love talk. It got was
and was every word. She sed,
1 might oonld or would love.
I stopped bet again and sed I reckon I would
see about that, ana told her to walk oat of that
house. The schoolmaster tried to interfere bnt I
wonldnt let him say a word. He sed I was a
so . and I neck; him down and mads him holler
in short order. 1 tank*, the strate thing to him

I got the nabers together and we sent Mr. Mc

haythene,” who wtre his peculiar aver»;on, etan i
, and lo k o at times, wi'h open mouthed wonder.
It was !tnrefr.r>, no farprise to mo to learn that,
‘ ehor'iy after Peter’s nnlucky attempt to give b ack
Ph i is tbe bran ni3-h in-ended for tho back fl l y,
ho had quitted r he a-rvico of my old school fellow,
Stanley, “diecnar* d tfco young masther 1” as he
sabsequ?nt!y called it, and had accepted tha su
perint-ndenca of a gang of w rkmen on a rail
( road, at that time in course of construction thronixh
; the election district in which I redid?, I s*y
“through the election district,” in preference to
indicating the locality of the work iu any more
precise way, because the incid nts whicn I am
about to relate, refer solely to tho politics of the
neighborhood.
In hie Dew position, Peter waa in his element,
for cot only were the laborers alo p the fine his
countryn en, but, better s’.iiF for Peter’s pugna
cieus disposition, they were compe-st-d of those
two factions wuich so long agita ed our pan of tbe
country, nnder tho names of and
♦he Faidowas. Os this latter body Peter became
tbe acknowledge . leader, a: d it is but justice to
».y th*t. the post in his hands wa-? no sinecure.
Brawls and bickerings mi Itipiied with bingu ar
rap’d t> ; and in the faction tights which followed,
Peer was always the first to commence, and the
to leave off.
But it this condition of things was fun to Peter,
it was a serious annoyance to the contractors, who
as er vain expostulations with the bolligerent«,
had more th»n onoe been compelled to call upon
the sheriff with an armed force of militia, to queli
the disturbance. How many heads Peter broke,
on the grand occasions for disp.ay, it would be dif
ficult to enamerato. Certain, however it is, that,
if bold undaunted exposure and vigorous personal
exertions, be won* y of honorable meutr- n, Peter
Muir on6y’s heroism ehoald be ranked with that
of Harney’s at Carro Gordo; Riley’s a* Contreras;
Q'Htmau’s a* tho Girlta Bjler; and especially
with that ot Walker at HunmantL. Bnt as Samp
son wts «horo of his ptro gth by ‘he loss of his
long lockr, even so wit-* Peter finally reduced to a
condition of compari*ti\e weakness by d sraiss l
from office, »rd ecpaiariou from companions,
who were transfer.cd to a distant action.
It war a s oout this time, and before my friend
Mulrooney’s loss of authority was generally
?hat* n else.ion approached for various
county i-ffi:es, und among others for that of dis
trict attorney.
As the latter office was rather a lucrative one,
there was, naturally enough, quite an ai ray < f
candidates, who were far more respectaolj for
their numb rs than lor the scope or profundity of
their legal attainments.
Promment among these hungry a-»pi*an’s was
a pempouk, pragmatic a, pettifogging “lirrb,”
whem 1 shall take the liberty of calli' g Jono-.
This respectable young gentleman being, iu his
own estimation, i dmirably fitted fjr lie offi e,
took the 1 ebrtv of b owing his own trumpe',
with no stinted oreath, a the various preliminary
meetings which were lit Id during the progre.a of
the canvas.-.
Jones, however was nut dispos'd to rely wholly
upon the popular or inion of his .ability, bat en
deavored to make ‘ assurance doubly sure,” by
taking su« h other rnei-ns of securing a majority as
1 0 imp .ru eof heoocasi nan It! e pertin ci »u
--oppoßitiou ot h b riv. Is seemed t> demand. Now
there is ei grefted u; on ‘he new constitution of
our htate a cert -in clause bo r ng upon the pun y
01 elect; n , which iufli ts, or '.hreatensto nflict, a
serioos penalty up n all ci ior offio", wh©
se k, dire 3 ly or ind reefy, to tamper with a vo
ter. Os this Jones was perfect’y a a o;but the
st udy cfiurutter oil! e0: position t earning to ren
der hi» prospects ro her gl omy, he le t disposed
to riik tbe consequence , by or.*li ting a number
oft u-ty agents, w h ?evo*e j and ir flue uce mght 1
do him good service at the polls.
As the name ot Peter Mu r oney had become
quite fttinoa* in “all the country round” for his
expl t< a th.'. head of tho Fard)wns, it occurred
t > Jones that such a man, on an occes : on like
that of a hotly oiutestcd would bo in
invatuablu; and aoeordingiy 110 acted upon the
prece:>tcf worthy Mia Gaft', who say'', very
wisely , that a hare r quire 4 to l e caught before it
is cooked. “First oareb your hare,” says she;
and Mr. Jones ackn wledgiug tho force of the srg
gestrrj, after m:k ng some pre'iminary arrauge
n ents with certain of his frion s, rode foro.-s the
country ( iio tine morning to b3atuptho quarters
of our blundering friend.
Financial matters h< d never, at any period cf
his tr nsadantie *« journ, been in a very flourish
ing condition witi Petar ; but ct this time, ow rg
to tr-o less of his e ployment, and tbe removal of
h s fri n ts, he was, to use his own exprosiou,
“claim: d out eu irely.” Un ler hesi discouraging
c reams'ano’e, found some t oubb in un
earthing him, bu‘a'ler numeros inquire, and •
no little riding to aud fro, ho sue ceded in find n
Peter in “a hi’cabin in th i bush,” a log shan*y 1
with a stick chimney, where he
a dacant tamily, one Michael Doheny, who rad
oo ! ody but liirßeir to take care of, 1 arrin’ the
goo 1 worn tm, s ; x c 1 Ida* - , an’ a year ould pig.”
At tho door ot this cat.in Jones descried Peter
loaning h a ly over the broken worm fence, aud
amusing his leisure by b owing out clouds of tobac i
co bmcke from a short, “dudeed” stuck
in one coruorot his mentb. t
“How a e you, Milroonjy!” sa d Jones, in a 1
manner which lie at least iutended should be gra- i
cous. ,
‘Aisy 1” sa!d Peter, casting a suspicious glance
a» the yoilo kids of h.s visitor, aid a still j
dubious one a’. lEi roll of placards he he*d in
h a hand. t
1 ua a friendly thike, my good fellow,”
sa Jo- os, atighling Le * bias'
ciofc. “Upon my hono”, I’m glad to see you i”
Peters eyes twinkled; hi rubbd.l his broad f
palm up aud down his pantuico i t two or three c
limes, hud then inclosed tho de'.ic de fl- gers of his
sociable visitor in a grasp like that of a black- \
fttni h’s vice. \
* Ojnlound iti” exolaimed Jones, wincing all t
over, twisting up his mouth, and golcg through t
iho mctioijb walkii gup stairs. “1 say Muiroo
ney—ny*—lrieud—you—you—^have—tre—men <
jua strength et wrist 1”
“’Deed but that’s three, anyhow,” responded 1
Pet: quietly. “Sure ’tis the wamo fist us bruk (
Iho bones of big Paddy Doy o, when he ehuk t
ha (Iswcl me t© dhrag me out ot tho pvtthern ,
tij-h' foor yea s agone, cmo next Michael mas.” I .
“1 don’t doubt it,” said Joues, wringing h ; s
fingers, and theus raigbtoned them ou slow y, as |
it hs was repeating to himself, “This pig went to
market: this pig stayed home; th s pig had roast
boot,” &c., A . Hav.rg at length satisflid him
self that all the joints were in proper places, ho ,
tamed to Peter, and said—
“ What are you doing now, Mulrooney t”
“Arrah, now be aisy,” said Peter, with a sly
look. “Why wll ye be aftber exposin’ yerseif
like a born ignoraytnus, wid no more sin so nor a
hayther naygurf Don’t ye eee’tis Bunuin’ my.se f
1 a»-n, this blissed m rn, an* sootherin’ the black

I kould yer horse, sir? Maybe yer honor’s lookin’

that’s myself burrin’ the complimeut, in ould Ire
land. Glory be wid her ; an* my the grass grow
green ihero for iver and iver, urain! ’
Mr. Jones smiled complacently. He though* he
discerned in Peter, fr rn his apparent ft r upidity,
end his known fighting quftlities, a very useful al
ly, while Peter whs pluyiug with Mr. Jones, prot
ty much aficr the fas ion ot a boy with a chafer,
tying quietly a thread around hie l g, and th n
letting him fly burning away but only to the length
ol tho string.
Mr. Jones, however, did not know this. Mr.
Joues indeed know nothing of Irihh character. He
wanted an agent, and a 1 ho * nought ,t necessary
10 do was to buv l ira. Mr. Jones cad grea' faith
iu the do lar. He would Lave sold Inmsflf for
rather over five. At present, however, e was in
se-rch ot a commodity.
“1 see you don’t know me, Milrooney,”said ho,
pietsantly.
Had ho been more cf a physiognomist, he might
have teen that Peter dit mow him a first glance;
i ct only by name, bu had read him »hrough and
through. Kn w him fr tn Ihe crowt. o‘ his glossy
silk hat to the roi s of his pa*ent leather bootP,
aad that Peter Mmrooncy—didn’t like h m.
“I see you don’t know me, Mulrooh v,” Joues
repeated, a; Peter stood leaning agninst the ricke'y
fence, w th his ejes cast on the ground.
“Och l” Bi»'i Pdtor evasive-, “m-iuy's tho gn

“J ue* 13 my name,”s«ii the candidate, so : tly.
‘•1 a n the disfiict for t ho ctho? of Stales
Attorney for tha county. There are fevers! oth
era out, who really appear to be icve them-elves
qualified to fill so honorable a pcs’; but, indeed,
between you and me, Mr. Mulrooney, they are”—
Mr. Jo eg shrugged hla shoulders significantly,
and a* Peter wirikcd, ns much as to say, *1 knew
what ye m*ne,” the gentlemanly candidate coclm
ued . “So 1 thought it was my duty to m«ke you*
acquaintance, Mr. Mulrooney—not to .ii.flucuco
your vote, of course.”
“Oh b»gorra! ’ Peter broke out, “’twouldn’t be
aisy to do that, any way, l -loss be thinkin'.”
‘•Surely not,” ;ai- Mr. Jonc-s; “und 1 honor you
the mere oryoursudy deermiaatiou. It ir up
on tks foundation ot each me 1 as you, my friend,
that ti e pihard of democracy * r ‘ fir.n'y based.”
“1 eg ver panton, M»i her Jones,” a«id Peer,
looking as stupid as
ye war .-ay r-gabout th? foundation f If ye want
a good one dug out, claue ao’ na'e. sure there s-n’
a handier boy in th: wid? wureli wid the pick an 1
the shovel than mesel*.”
“I’ll tell you what, Mulrooney,” sad Jons , now
thrown wholly off b ; * guard, “if the people elect
me, it will be good for the n. Don’t jou thit-k it
is a first rate thing to hav* a friendin court!”
‘•Sure there’s no denyin’that,” «?-ponded Peter
with alacrity; “it bate? the wureli f >r good luck.”
“A very sensible a; ewer,” responded Jones,
with an appro? ng nod. “Yes,” he added, wi h
an oratorical flourish of his eceLWd Cambric hand
kerchief, “the poor man shall find in me a f iend
and a protector. Should l be boaorel with the
attorney.-hip, avarice shall never ride, rough shod
over the bene and sinew of the land. Tuey alone
are nature’s noblemen, sir; and our glorious insti
tutions are the work of the:r han is.”
‘•Och 1 but that’s the b.autituliest spache,” said
Peter, enthnt>ia.-tica ly; “and may be, Misther
Joues, ye’d be afther get tin’ yer departs afore
long.”
Peter was too cunning to say what he thoight
* hose desarts ought to be; and Jones happy in
the K i:ef that he had made a favorable impres
eioo, in'erpreted Pe.er’s enigmatical compliment
according to his cwn wi-hes.
“Mnlrooney,” said he, “do you think you could
spare time to dine with me to day r*
Peter rubbed hi j chin doubtful.v. “ ’Tisn’t aisy
to say,” be replied slowly; there’s Misther Urbir,
as lives at the Grange three miles across, an’ 1”
“Oh, nevermind seeing him! ’’ exclaimed uones
quickly, “he’s rot on our side. Come, jump into
my carnage, and let me tool you over to the ‘Bell,’
I 1 ave ordered an exeslient dinner there, and you
will meet a few irier.ds, to whom I am desirous of
introducing you. Who knows what benefit it may
be to y»n !’’
Peter made several excuses, hut they were ail
overruled, one after another. At length he suffer
ed his hashlu ness to be overcome, and presently
found him?e f trundling across the smooth coun
try road towards the place of rendeavous. A ride
ot halt an hour brought them to the “Bell,” a fine
old-fashioned tavern standing at the junction of
the reads leading to Tompku.svi le aLd Saddi‘ton.
Almost immecia ely on his arrival, he was intro
duoed w ih due formality, to Me?si?nrs. Tims,
Mirm?, Bims an i B.bo, tl members of mere than
cne bar, and the especial friends of Mr. Jones, the
candidate.
Dinner wts served in fine style, and Peter took
extraordinary carco provision his particular for
tress with an which spoke wenders f r
fc.s appetite, and was equally honorable to his di
gestive powers. At length, however, be reluc
tantly dec.rod h ms© If .-a i-fhd, and the (Übris
was removed. Hitherto, Peter had been too busi
ly engsgod in storing away the supplies to waate
the precious time in making set speeches; but
when the wine was brought n, he ventured to
suggest s hat he sh aid prefer “a taste o’ the native
instid or the fernu’ staff wid the outlandish
names. ’and his peculiar pen.haat was speedily
gratified.
With his favorite potbeea before him, Peter
” m-de ill >a4 qi.*o «t Lot; rep ted awkwardly
wiun he was spoken to, bat ct i *>t<e paid bi*

1 who promptly acknowledged the pr concerted e!g

I “Hera’s to yo r »ery tood hedth, Mr. Mulroo

“N ver bettber, barrin’ the -igoslion and tho

obl.egwd to you for tho ax'.::,” replied Peter.*
“My respects to you, Mulrooney, my friend,”
said Bims, li tng his glass; “and niajr you always
continue in your presor t excellent condition.”
“Faixl 1 hope so,” said Peer. “For sure whin
it comes to the typhu a , an* the sresiipas, an’ the
colur yo morbus, an’ the hare- cf au’ other
disordhers, then’s not so aisy to b^ar.”
“Spoken liku an oracle,” said Bi ‘‘and it is
now my privilege to wish ycu a freoaiisr exe np

“‘Jch botlnuration P’ said Peter. “I *1 bo Ukin*

“Fun 1 my dear fellow,” 9»id Joneaj “wo intend

The wiiy Peter now suffered borrow to clear,
and even went so Jar as to favor M\’ Jones with a
smile. He slowly filled hisgl.aom bia own

*Oh fa x, ir it’s daeeut msone to emumgtoe

“ Ilam! much obi ced to you, Mulrooney,”

The bottle was emp*y, or nearly so, and the

“The first Methodist meeting in America
was a log ha ; but subsequently, through the in

cured upon Golden Hill, a rising k roaad near the
borders of New York; now named John street. —
Mute-ia s were purchased arid contracts entered
iu*o, in tne names of those persons who joined
with Captain Webb in the undertaking. Tne
build ng was GOfoet lor* by 42 fee- wide. I was
opened on thefloth of October, 1768, by Mr. Em
bry, who, being by trade a carpenter, had himself
constructed tte pulpit from which he preached. It
had an area in front of ab:u* 80 feet square, sepa
rated from the street by a wooden fence. Trere
wt-re three square headed windows surmount.d by
a circular one, near the roof, below which was an
arched doer, and subsequently side entrances by
s epA to the galleries. In order te reach the gal
ler.es when first erected, it was necessary to mount
by a ltdd er and then sit upon platforms, and for
a long time b enches only wi.h bac s were provid

Methodist Chepel in the Western World.”

A* otter Arm imported 21,000 bars (Raila) during

f News Dlreci from Iluaai*.
! Ool.Tal. P. Sbaffaer, who was a passenger by
the Atlantic, and has travelled d rea from
, St. t’etersb irg, has favored us with some in
te resting infer.natio oc* « rning tho present
( ooodttton of Russia, her resourcta, and the spirit
( which anima her people iu this the third >ear
of the war. Col. Shaffuor has spent much es his
t*ne lu Russia, and, natural y enough, h;* predic
tieas are strongly in favor ol that pow riu it o cu
test with the Empires of too West. His account,
tbaref re, wilt hi oan*idered all the more valuab.e
as ooming from a purely K i-.-ian sourc , and may
be q >ntras‘ed with the views and reports that tre m
time to time appear in the Anglo French journals.
Co'. Shsitfuer has bad every fa oil iy to invtaig te
the con ition of Russia, a d his businose connec

with the opinions cf its inhabitants on tho war
and in ita incident*. N ris h s know < d<e con
fine !to St. Pctitsburg alone ; for he has very re
cency travelled OT3r portions of tho Empire.
With this profao3, wo publish the inf rmvi u we
havo acquired fr m him in tho folio wii g form:
Financial Condition cf Russia—Money Flfm
tifl l. —Pur naps there are not half a d >xen persons
in the Russian Empire, who, at the present mo
mint, thoroughly uudoratiund ita finauc ai condi
tion ; and a temporary resident, who wiahes'o
discover what efforts the war has had upon its re
source-*, can only form an opinion on this subject
from what he tees. In Moreow, Bt. Petersburg
and other large cities, there is no’hing to reduce
the supposition that tho life blood cf tha country
i* b ling drained by an exhausting war. Gold and
silver coin couunuopr.n i.ul, and are freely used in
trauaac-.ioas of every day life. A mer
c.".t iu hia store wiil change a bank note into
ooiu, with as much re-idineaa as he would in the
city •' New York. Brokers charge two por cent..
to change notes of urge amount into gold, but
even tbi* is regarded a* au Istaolilish transaction.
In tbo grand and luxuriant ex'ruvagance of the
uobie, two yours’ war ha* made.no sen-ible difler

npp mranoe oi w ret, to muttering 3 of comtiaint.

can be bongtit in S? Petersburg cheaper than Jar"
sey ci» or is sold in New York. Copper is tho on
ly art'o'e that has iron ased in value, and this is
attributub’e to another cause than that ot the wnr.
The erection of public and private buddings
goei on: churohes are built as usua», and vast
sum i of money tiav j within a few months been
av shed on u< w additions to the palace of Pe
terboff. It may he truethit shipping merchants
and others connected wiih foreign trade have been
ruined, but it i* also true that the .©sources f the
oonntry are becoming more rapidly developed than
could have been possible in time of peace; manu
facforloft are springing up throughout the country;
nod men find in them an occupation and a recom
pense lor what they have lost.
The Itvies for the war do not injure the com
rnercul and agricukural interests of the country.
Ot tie men there are pleuty ; of gold there is
abundinco; and of wheat there is more than
enoug i for the wauls of all. The people feel them
selva* secure within their Territory. They do not
fear thbt its resources will be easily cxhgUHted,
and, therefore they have made up their minds
that there is a long, long war ahead.
The Russian* seem to admit ar.d bilieve that
F an co and Eug'aud are two powerful nations
who e pri io is thoroughly engaged in this contest.
They, too, are proud. They would nev. r submit
to wnv dishonorable trea y. They would nevervield
ono rer of land, or consent to psy the expenses of
the wur for tho suk* of peuce and they g.ve theii
enemy credit for simi'ar de ermination Hence,
the impression prevai s that the war will bo greatly
prolonged—that years will elapse before it c*n be
brought to a suti fattory tern ination. To this the 1
Rnss un people to have made up their mine's
They trust iu the gigantic resources of their coun- ]
try. Pa iron.en*o extent prec’udes the idea of a
suocessrul invasion ; and prestige goes far to evil 1
firm Mii * prevailing impr ss'O :. As in tho 1
of Napoleon and Charlos XII., wh* ro transitory 1
triu ■ pf s at the common, orneot only insured d s
treotion and disaster at the end—so now, the Ru * (
Bians oonfidently expect, tha 7 , if the Ailies attempt
to pe; etrate their empire, they will certainly meet
with ruin and de‘eat. Pride ’•'ill never allow them
to abandon the Crimea, though ita co* que*t by
the Al'ies would enab'e th Cxar to eras' crate hie ,
forees aud multiply his powers ol rsMitance. Au
example of this pocnliar trait io the Russian char
acter may be found in tho late attack upon Kin- (
burn at tho ot tne Dne per. Till* so tress,
wh ; ob could not even boast of stone tor fixations,
was mounted with old Turkish gnus, wl oho i&uge
did not exceed four hundred yards. Yet, when a
powarlol fleet of the Allies appi*red b fore i*, tho \
garrison, in v ry obstinacy, h* d out during two |
days* bombardment; and when the p'aco wh
manifestly the Gover* or, rather than
yield, strove to light tho nun*, ut d destroy both
friend aul foe hi one common ruin. It is against
mtu who beliv-ve themselves invincible, and who,
-whon best en, kuow it not, tiia’the sold ere o
France n d England are now fighting. The Ua*
Bi*n never yields: lu do’oftt bo is terrble
than in succcsb, or iu tho former case he i* trebly
nerved by deßp»Jr, and a ih.rst for revrage. Pride
is the ruling na'ional trait, ar.d that pride calls
loudly tor a coutiouftMce of .he war. Tin R li
giou* feeling, which first samran»e \ tho nation to
arms, * urns fiercely still, aud the principle that
theUa*rha the right of protectorate over the
Greek subject* l of the Porte, will never be vo ; un
tarily abandoned.
Throughout tira whole of the Bussian empire s
trave l,r sees little else than vast prepared, ons
go ng on for the continuance of th f i war. Within
a short distance of Bt. Petersburg there are three
toundrie* tor cannon. Due, in the capita), turns
out sixty brass field pieces Os different sizes, per
week, and they were all considered complete m
every particular by the American offi ors who la re
ly via ted the place. Tho Uolpin works turn on’
eighty cannon, and those of Petr aavodi k, (which
burg,) over a hundred every WfMdr. Thisisexclu
sive ortho tmimnse foundries in Russia forth cf
Moeojw. The country around the works of Pero
s*vod«k is filled with iron, and tho labor of extrao
ting it KoeH on unceasingly. And in this connec
tion, it may be notioed how u:-ole«s wa* the order
of the Bitieb Government prohibiting tho rx po r
tatiou of iron, when Russi-m mines c m yield it in
greater quantities than is needed. Wi hiu the city
of St. Petersburg, at this day, iron, belong to pri
vate uierebarrs, can be reou in vast qnauthie*,
rusting wbeie it stands.
With all the otter material ofwir Russia is
equal'y well supplied. She dee* not find it, tieccs
sa>y to imports ample aricle which her own
mines supply in such abundance. Sa'tpotro is not
required, though the impression has gained ground
here that the present hghptiourf thi j art : c'e is
occasioned by the demand for it iu tho Rub
sian market. Sued is not the ca«e; for it would
coat more to bring saltpetre in lurge quantities
from the Prussian boundaries to any emtral point
in th* Roseau empire th in the material could be
sold for or was worth. Tho probability is t bat the
Baltpetre exported irom this c untry never finds
it* way boyond the German States, where it is
kept iu the fear, perhaps, that it may one day bo
needod. The isuie thing may be said of Col t’e re
volvers. We are positive y assured th t very few
of these weapons hove reached Bt. Petersburg, and
those that did were imported through the moans of
private enterprise, without the intertereace or
sane’ion of the Govjrnment. Numerous Ameri
cans have been in Bt. Peter burg during tho pant
year, endaa ormgto ob ain a sale for their invei
tions in divers materuf. of war. The Government
is always liberal in giving them a fidr trial, bnt
none have met with any nets 1 success. Accord
ing to Mr. Bhaifner, th>* so oilled inventions havs
keen more discreditable than otherwise to the pro
verbial ingenuity or our people.
The great amount of cannon which the found
riee in and about Bt. Petersburg turn cut weekly,
are for the defence of the Baltic coast. Mr. Bhaff
ner visited Cronatadt last summer a id w Incased
those mighty fortresses of which as much has been
said. Ia 1334, only one aide of Cron tedt was
fortified, but now it is entirely surrounded by walls
and for s. Fve additional fork*, bmlt of stone and
iron, were erected lost summer, and the whole
place has men mounted with new guns. Toe
ku.wiaus fully expected an attack, not thinking
that the Allies would allow another seassn to
a apse without making some demonstration. In
consequence of this belief, there was r o little ex
eitement arnot g the inbubiianto of 8\ Petersburg;
and the garrison of Croustadt wa* kep continually
on the start as long as the allied fleet continued to
threaten them with its presence. At the
menc<-ment of this year, the *Hiea might have at
t* ked Cronstadt with some chance of Mioce**, but
now that obanes has slipped away forevrr. Add!
lions and improvement- have rendered this fortress
(K tsplete y impregnate, in the opinion of the
most am nent engineers, foreign and native.
The torts of R ga, Bweaborg and Revel were also
mounted with new guns during the Bummer, and
thsy, too, it is alleged, are now pof c ly impreg

tween Riga and Bt# Petersburg. They are on i* fly

the landing of any large force of the enemy, cao
prevent the preparatory of taking sounding
along the coes . I was through tbur iustrumen
taSity that a British beat’s crew wore frustrated in
thsr endeavors to take soundings Iff Ha* go—an
affair which, our readers will remember, created
great noise at the tirnt, and fi’st appeared, with
many exaggerations, in the columns of the L ndon
preea. It is suited that the AlUe:i have incurred
the deadly hostility of the Finns from the appa
rently wanton manner in which they de? troye i
their property along the seaboard. The secrets of
ad their operations here will probably never be
known, but the Russian peasantry asre't that a
tara.ei’a cottage, i> prominently » t' red, would
certainly become the target of the fiat vessel that
approached within rango. Ts e object no GOuh»,
ww men's practice up to themarf,
and ado d them some little rnm x incutduring the r
i» activity.
Perhaps the moat interesting ielormation with
which we have been famished, is an account of
how the fel- of Sebastopol and o»h©r ever.to tba
have transpired in the Crimea, were received by
the reopie of R esia. We sLa 1 notice, therefore
briefly, in the ttr-'t piece how the defeat at Ir-kln
Bridge was spr-kan of at St. Peters urg •
This battle which, it will oe tecji-ecled, took
place shortly before Ibe fail of Sebastopol was, at
the time, the of much regret at Bt. Peters
burg. The defeat, it is alleged, was oce .wooed by
a m stake on the part of the Commanding General.
He had sixty thousand chosen men on the Teher
naya, and of this numbr he selected two-.iy thou
send, with who he a-tacked the allies—Dot wivh
the expectation of success, but under t. e impret>
sion that, by feigning defeat, he could draw them
from Ibeir entrenched p »>tiOD, and then give
them battle with aauperior force. The mar ** lvre,
it has been seen, wan a total failure. Aker the
Rest tar a were drivoD beck, the allies refused to
follow in pursuit, ai d the former lost iu the cn
gagement several thousand of their best troop*,
and two or three general* of ominenoe and ra k.
The news of the tall of Southern Bebawtopol was
received in Bt. Petersburg, without any unusual
emotion. I had long been expected as a enris
which must soonei or later take place. Tbir, in
deed, very clearly appeared, by the decisive way
in which Gortschakoff abandoned th* city imme
diately after the capture of the Muiukofl. There
are some Russian views in regard to this great
assault which are interesting, and show that the
people are willing to estimate correctly and fairly,
the courage and perseverance of their ene y.
The Russians ssy that the British press, an l
particularly the London lime*, has tailed t.) do
jnsaice to Uie bravery of the English soldiers at
the Redan. Aroun lme Malafeuff the ground wts
compared of soft earth, and tbe approaches were
easily made to its very base. The French, there
f -re, had no disianou to travetse, and, coascqently,
no fire to undergo previous to their 1 aid to bam*
•ontest with the Ri.sbUus. The space before the
Redan wa*, on the cod*rary, composed of rock, and
the British were unable to make their approtchO'
like the French. At the assault they wer<-, iu
oonsequence, exposed for some time to a he.vy
fire from three tiers of goes, convolving a’, each
end of the R r dan ; and yet, in the taco of this
terrible cannonade, they stood the r groa d lor
two hours. Russian officers who witness d the
scene, give grs::ter credit to tha British ou thta
occasion, than they do to the French, whoso sue
oess was ch ; eliy owing to tho suddenness with
which they effected their object.
