FOR CANAL COMMISSI.ON3R, NIMROD STRICKLAND, ’ or OHBsrua ooiwtt EUROPEAN ARISTOCRACY. In speaking of Aristocracy, it is only with tho white man of Europe and America that we have to deal *, aud in examining the histories of tho nations of the fovmhr continent, we shall And that almost every form of It has been tried at s<>me epoch or other. In Rome we have the first fttll exemplification of tho aristocracy of birlh, in tho patricians, who divided the authority of the State with tho plebeians, or common people, and who gradually absorbed tho whole of it, and subverted the liberties of the nation. Out of the ruins of tho Roman Empire, and the mili tary genius of tho Celtic and Teutonic hordes that overwhelmed it, arose the feudal system, which created an aristocracy of class—com bining that of birth with tho holding of land, on condition of rendering certain services to the superior or paramount lord, From this sprung tho brilliant chivalry of the Middle Ages, which waathenthe only re cognised Aristocracy. But as commerce ex tended itself, and the discoveries of Columbcs and Vasco De Gama opened up now Holds of enterprise, anew Aristocracy took its rise—that of wealth and commercial reputation. This' had, in already existed on a smaller ucalo iu Vonico, Genoa, Fisa and Florence, cities had monopolized the trade of tho IJash r IVo now hoar of « merchant princes/ ’ hftro whose aid was sought by the greatest poten tates, whose wealth influenced then, as it tioos now, tho diplomacy of tho ago. Tho Roth schilds and Barings, Girar»9 and Lavittes of the present day had their prototypes in tho Greshams, and Cottons, the Childs and Lambs of two centuries and a half ago. This species of Aristocracy rose to its height in the Netherlands in tho seventeenth century—and was characterized by as much unfeeling pride and exclusiveness as any that ever existed, jet it was munificent and fostered the arts and science, the noblest productions of the pencil were brought forth by tho patronage of the wealthy merchant princes of Italy and Flau ders; many of the noblest institutions in Eng land owe their origin to tho liberality ot her mercantile aristocracy; and we may say of this kind of aristocracy, that it has generally been favorable to civil and religious liberty. The age of Louis XIV. witnessed another or m of aristocracy, which was a cruel mockery and perversion of the name—that of Fashion, introduced into England by tho profligate Charles 11., and copied in all the courts of Europe. It was now necessary to profess certain sentiments, to have a common object, which was a prodigality of voluptuousness combined with a polished exterior of dress and manners. Wit and repartee, personal beauty and recklessness, were the chief pass ports to the “salons” of Paris aud London, Madrid and Naples. Neither birth nor wealth wero absolutely indispensable, although, of course, they had their influence. This was the ago of the Rochesters and Graxonts, the Montespans and Castlemainks, when virtue was a standing joke, and religion took refuge in the cottago, having been expelled from the Court. European society is not yet entirely eman cipated (row tho effects of this heartless and dissolute system, which culminated in the first French Revolution. But it has boon very much exalted, and homage is paid to religion and virtue, oxtornnlly at least, if not sincerely. Modern aristocracy is a compound of the an cientclemonts. InGermany,tho chiofconsider ation is the antiquity of the family, and the num ber of quartarings on its escutcheon. It is tho samo in Spain and Italy, In France, aristo cracy lias received such severe shocks that it is hard to say wliat it is, or what it is not. Of the old families, few survivo—the Montmohkn ovs, De Roiians, Montfensieks, and Boubbons of the “ancient regime,” exist no longer, or at best only “an second” in the Faubourg St. Ger main. Tho now families have literally and truly risen from tho ranks of tho army and the bourgeoisie, when • any ono of that despised class has been successful as a speculator, “fuillctonisto,” or lawyer. Tho aristocracy of Englaud presents a simi lar mixture—savo that there the ancient no blilty lias survived tho bloody wars of tho rival houses of York and Lancaster, and “the Great Rebellion,” and tho historical names of Howabd, Stanley, CiirroitD, Russeei, St. Maub, Cavek»jsh,Scc., are still to be met witli; and the equally noble Irish and Scotcli names of Guaiiam, Dolt.las, Oamlhell, O’Bbien, Fitzoxbald, and a host of others shine forth with undiminished lustre. Eminenco in arms and law has contributed and contributcsdailyto recruit tho ranks of tho nobility of Groat Britain, but it must also bo observed that the possession of wealth and political influence lias done the same thing; and some of the lending families owe thoir position to their ancestors being illegitimate scions of royalty, or favorites of weak-minded monarchs and their mistresses.

L’Abbu llcc, formerly Missionary Apostolic in China 2v015,12aa0. D. tf J. Sodleir $ Co., New York. To M. Hue we aro indobtod for most of our accurato knowledgo of modern China. He traversed from ono end of that great empire to tho other; he was honored with special privileges and rank; he was admitted into Pekin. He saw a great deal of the interior as well as the ceremonial life of tin* Chine.ve, and his works of travels aro as amusing as roman ces. The name of the work before us fully indi cates what it in—a well-digested, authentic, and explicit history of the difliculties which attended tho introduction of the Christian Faith into China and its vicinity, and of tho successes which followed. The Introduction satirically contrasts our modern missions with those so often leading to mar tyrdom, which the Church of Romo sent from her bosom, far aud wide over the world. Then commences the history, showing how, from the first, with tho rest of the Magi, the Chinese ruler felt an Interest in the Ad vent of tho expected Messiah, and how ra pidly, when the great sacrifice was made, tho Christian Faith spread to the remotest parts of Asia—promulgated, it is believed, by St. Thomas, the Apostle, in person. The whole course of tradition is run through, and then the records of fact are given, up to the establishment of the Mantcboo-Tartar dy nasty in China, on tho downfall of the dynasty of Ming, in the middle of tho seventeenth cen tury:—to drive out the Mantcboo-Tartar rulers is the'object of tho rebellion now raging in China. Tho narrative, which is admirably translated, is the very romance of history, with all the accuracy of fact, derived as it is from the records of the Mission in China. Tho Emperor Clmn-Tcbc, who was almost a Christian, raised the missionaries to rank and honor, freely rendering their scientific at tainments of use to hi 9 country. This mo narch, grief-struck at the death of one of his Wives, attempted to commit suicide, and, being prevented, gave himself up to sorrow, which caused the illness, of which ho died. M. llcc relates: The day aftor tho dcoth of tho Emporor, nil tho Tartar tribes nearest to Pekin oame in great cara* Vana, with their wires and children, to aoplore tho death of their master. They wore divided into Eight Banners, 'aud advanced by numerous groups to make their lamentation* round tho imperial coffin. Acoording to tho u Book of lUtos,” their tears ought to have lasted three whole days, and in the midst of tho general bustlo and excitement, the governors of tho city do not seem to have con sidered that tho grief of these strangers, great as it war, could not afford them quite sufficient nour ishment Cot that period. No ono thought of order ing thorn any provisions, till Father Schall at last took pity on theso unfortuuate famishing people, .and presented a petition on their bohaJ? to tho regents, lie pointed out to them tho sufferings of these poor Tartars, amongst whom wero women and old men, incapable of enduring tho fatigue of this long ceremony. Ho conjured tho Government either to allow of thoir returning to their own country, or to provide for their subsistonco; and tbo regents, prnir.lng tho thoughtfulness and foro 'sight- of tho missionary, published an edict by which tho Eight Banners wore aUowod| to return into their onoampmonts. Tho Tartars who wished to remain for tho grand funeral ceremony should, it was added, bo maintained nt the expense of tho State. ’ On tho fourteenth day of tho first moon, the oath of allegiance to tho now Emperor was solemnly taken* I’ho princes of tho blood, the six ouprotue Courts, tho various tribuunK tho itinndfirius of tho first and second rank, ami all tbogreat, dignitaries of tho omnire, wero introduced into the palaco, tojd ranged according to thoir duo order of prece dence* The coffin of tho deceased Emperor was raised upon a magnificent platform, nud nftor the 'company had wept, as In duty hound, one of tho regents road tho formula of the onth, and after wards burnt it on the coffin In it golden urn, nil tho persons present prostrating themselves, and striking tho grouud throo times with thoir fore heads, os if to ooU on tho Emperor to Witness their fidelity. They then repaired to a pagoda within tho palace, to ratify thoir onth in tbp prosonco of tho idols. Father Schall, who could nol take partin this religious net, opproaohed the regents, and informed thorn that, being a wor shipper of tho Lord of Heaven, ho was not por milted to bend tho knoe before idols; ho there fore Oekoil permission to perform this part of tho eeremppy Id bis own ebap&l. “ Maffii/’said tho regents kindly, “ if you shonld not toko any onth, ofro would ever doubt your fidelity and devotion iJuspew; but since you desire to perform this rite, lot H ho in your own house or elsewhere os yon please:** As soon as tho ceremony of taking the oath of allegianco to young Kiang-bi was concluded, that of tuo fuuorai of Chun-Tohe was commenced, in a style of magnificence surpassing anything of tho kind that had hitherto boon witnessed. To tho solemn and sumptuous pomp of tbo Chinose rites were added tho extraordinary and barbarous cus toms of tho Tartars. Tragic scones took place, in which many of tho Attendants of tho late Emperor fut themsolves to death, that they might proceed o the other world, and continue their accustomed services to thoir master: It is stated in tho annals of China, that tho empress mother, porcciving a young prince who had been tho intimate friend and favorite of Chuii-Tcbo, expressed to him, with strong emotion, bar grief and astonishment at find ing him alive. “Is it possible,” said she, “that you are still alive? My son loved you, is doubtless now wait ing for you; hasten tbon to join him, and provo to him that your atTection was sincere and gonorous! | Kun and Lid adieu to your parents, and thon havo tho courago to die! Your friend, my sou, is stretching out his anus towards you." According to tho historian, these words, uttered in fttono at onco affectionate and sovoro, caused groat distress to the young man. He loved Cbun- Tcho, but ho loved lifo also, and could not think of death without a terrible shudder. Ho was sur rounded by bis afflicted family, who woro urging him to oaoapo by flight from so frightful a sacrifice, when tho ompress mother sont to him a prosoutof a box ornamented with jewels, anil containing a bowstring for him to strangle himself Tho unfortunate young mnn still hesitated, for ho was at the happiest time of lifo, and could not resolve to die of his own accord, as tho barbarous prejudices of his nation required, but tho two offi cers who had brought Idm the fatal present had orders from the empress mother to holp him out of this perplexity, and givo a littlo assistance to h is oourago should ho bo unablo to put himsolf to death, and they helped him accordingly. The coffin of tho deceased Emperor was trans ported to tho burial-place of tho now dynasty, at twenty-four leagues north of Pekin, and never probably was there such a procosaion os that which accompanied the remninu of Chun-Toho to Mntit* churia. Tho iromenso multitude mode tbo whole country resound with the voice of weeping and lamentation, for this nrinco, of whom in his latter days tho peoplo boa seemed exceedingly tired, was now clamorously, and perhaps sincoroly, re gretted. At any time, such a book as this would bo a valuable addition to our store of knowledge. At tho present crisis, when more than one of tho “outside barbarian” nations aro assailing China, it is important as well as interesting.

He lias freely availed himself of tho labors and experience ot eminent stand ard jurisconsults, and the result is a work which ought to bo on tho desk of every man who has to do with the making, spending, and disposal of money.

OUR PUBLIC GROUNDS For The Prow.] Our noighbore of Boston and New York are set ting us an example on the extension and improve ment of thoir publio grounds, which we would do woll to follow Tho Boston Common has been doubled ia size in tho lost two yoars, and the New York Central Park is laid out upon a scale of suoh ample dimen sions as will cause it to rank among the largest Parks of tho world. Doteclivo police and boards of health oan'do lit- tle for the general health or order of a community cramped into alleys and narrow streets, while their only places of amusement are in cellars,close rooms, and ill-ventilated saloons. Corner lounging, riot ing, and malicious mischief, are but the results of a want of place for that natural craving for tbo open air and vigorous exercise which cramped limbs and lungs require; and tho onlysourco of crirno is removed when you take down the barrier to this simple natural craving of the mind and body. How long must we everywhere be burdened with so-called legislators who suppose that a star means order, or tho whitewashing of a board ot health, freedom from contagion? When shall wo ever learn that a man can be made precisely what you will him to be? If you fusion his limbs to a shop-board, and enclose him, in & room whoso narrow limits make a whisper seem a shout, his attenuated limbs and lungs will show the unnatural bondage. Itbecomes a neces sity, therefore, even as a police measure, to pro vide him that means of recreation which bis manly nature domands. If we deprive women and children of fresh air and the agreeable change from city to country whioh only wealth in a com munity enjoys, when an epidemic prevails do we wonder that in every ill-ventilated section of our city so many succumb 7 Legislation means something more than this— that the deprivation of those natural advantages whioh prudent legislation would give results in wrongs and injuries to the individual that no leg islation can remedy ? Thoro is not a man, woman, or child, in all Boston, who would submit to the destruction or dosing of tbo Boston Common—there is not a poor man in all England who would suffer one inch of thoircolossal Parks to be built upon. “It would cost you your Crown to build upon Hydo Park, 5 ’ was tho reply of Sir Robert lYalpole to Queen Carolino when she asked tho cost of building a royal palace upon it. Let us have our Schuylkill Park cleared of its unsightly buildings; and if men shall bo found in tho Councils who are willing to oppose this groat democratic measure, lot them be crushed again as thoy wero crushed by the withering rebuke of Henry and Gaylor , and by that oronvhelming ma jority of tho last Democratic Councils, that then silenced them. May we not demand that the old Suiltlinnsy which can be removed for the cost of the materials, shall bo demolished, and the grounds which wo now own be oponed ? Tho example of our neighboring cities, tho wants of that large majority of our pooplo who do not leavo our city duriug tho summer, every democratic instinct of our nature imperatively demands it. K. Interesting Letter from £x-Fresldeut Tyler. [From the Richmond Enquirer.J Messrs. Editors .* Although I hove observed profound Bilonco in regard to all publio political discussions since the closo of my official residence at Washington, yet it seems to too to be not only proper, but In some measure required of me, to vin dicate on act of my administration, for which 1 posterity will hold mo accountable, against a pub lio attack mado upon it. Such an occasion has occurred in the published debates of tho recent Commercial Convention at Knoxville, wherein a member is stated to have declared the pro vision in the treaty of Washington, stipulating, on the part of tho United States, for the main tenance of a fleet of eighty guns for the suppression of tho slave trado undor the American flag, was an act of discourtesy and insult to the South, ns a rea son for Us abrogation. Tho declaration thus made seems to have met with the countenance of a large majority of tho Convention in the final voto upon tho subjeot. I propose to do no more, Messrs Edi tors, than revive with tho publio a recollection of the inoidenta which led to the incorporation of that provision in the treaty, and, having done so, I shall bo content to lonvo tho matter to the arbitra ment of the proper tribunal. I shall, however, bo Eeraritted to observe, that the remarks reported to avo fallen from members of the Convention, in debating tho main subjoct, are so entirely va riant from tho popular sentiment entertained throughout tho Southern States, as I believe, iu 1812, as to occasion me no little surprise. Who, in 1842, oYon dreamed that there would he, as early ns 1837, a proposition seriously made to revive the si avo trade 7 I certainly entertained no such idoa, nor did, I am quite sure, any ono of tho able and patriotic statesmen who wero my constitutional advisers. I really thought and often declared that the Southern States were more opposed to the slave trade than any portion of our poople. Tboy had voted with singular unanimity for the act of Con gross which declared that all oitizons of tho United Statos engaging in that trade should be regarded, and, if convicted, punished as pirate*.’ How it happens, then, that a provision introduced into a treaty to enforce a law, for whioh the South had voted, can ho rightfully regarded as an insult to the South, I must say, passes my comprehension. Certainly suoh an idoa novor entered into my head or heart. My principal desire, however, ia to call tho at tention of the country, in brief, to the facts as tiny , existed immediately antecedent to tho treaty of Washington. Tho British Government had in sisted upon the right, in virtue of various treaties with other nations, to visit ships on tho conxt nf Africa, sailing under the American flag, for the purpose of ascertaining tho true nationality of tho ships. England had even ventured to put their claim into practice. This oalled forth strong re monstrances from Mr. Stovenson, who was then onr minister at London, and n most able ar gument in pamphlot form appeared soon after from tho pen of General Class, who was our minister at Paris. The conduct of our represent ativos at London and Paris in this particular, was fully approved by the Administration, and in my annual message to Congress, I took decided grounds against the claim preferred by Groat Britain, and made tho ocoasion to say, that as the United States Government was tho first to declare tho slave trade to bo piracy, so far as tho citizens of the United States were concerned, go it was fully nblo to enforce its own laws without tho aid of British cruisers. Thus, tho two Governments remained for a time antagonized on thoquesrion. Great Britain urged that she meant no insults to tho Amcrioan flag, hut that it was impossible, without n visit to tho ship, to nscortain whether sho belonged to tho nation whoso flag sho boro, or hod assumed that flag merely to dceoive, thus seeking immunity under tho American flag, when tho vessel, officers and orew might bo French, Portuguese or Spanish, or of soiao other nation, intent on tho slavo trade, whose treuty oogagoments had given to Great Britain the right to visit and search. Great Britain also urged on our Government, asacnoride ration for quiescence on our part in tho matter, that if tho vessel visited should turn out to be truly American, bound on a peaceful mercantile voyago, sho would indemnify all loss, and orcry damage sustained, ns had boon honorably dono in all pre ceding cflgos. Lord Ashburton was possessed of full power to negotiato on this, as on other sub jects—and upon < conference I reitoratod my de claration mado in my annual message, that the Unltod States Government was able to enforce in own laws, and that I should see to tboir enforcement, troaty or no treaty, under the obligations of parnmouut duty. I then suggested, by way of discharging this duty on my part, that no should keep upon tbo African coast a naval nr mamont sufficiently great to visit all ships that might hoist tho United States flag, and fall under suspicion; but that wo could not permit another nation to do so. Upon this basis tho stipulation in the treaty has, in my mind, always rostod Certain It is, that for tho aftcr-tiuio of my‘service, no visit, much loss search, of an American vessel, occurred on tho part of tho British cruiser. What has taken place Biuce I will not undertake to say. I lmvo nothing to do with what tho Government of this country may deem it proper to do in regard to that stipulation, but this X will venture to say, that repeal when it pleases that provision of the treaty, it will still find it necessary for tho enforcement of tho laws of tho United States, as well as for tho protection oP the trafflo of merchant vessels on tho trnffio every yoar increasing in value, and des tined, in tho end, to bo of vast magnitude—to maintain a fleet of at leastefghtygunson the coast of Africa. It might bo worthy of consideration, by tho noxt Commercial Convention, whether, be fore they advise the canceling of the provision in question, and denounce it as an insole to tho South, they should not first repeal the law relative to plruoy in regard to the slave trade.

TWO CENTS. A Xcwr rrcijfntioi Man.icm. e see it intimated that, at the session of a ,0 “ V" mii ° fot th ® ««- tion of a fitting houso for the residence of tho Presidents of tho United States, at the seat of na tional government We hope that the effort will be successful. The present mansion is situated in one of tho most unhealthy parts of the District of Columbia. The consequence has been that no family can reside in it for any long period without danger, aud perhaps destruction to their health. We think that we should not greatly err, wore wo to say, that this inconre.mence bus ‘been fell, in a greater or less degree, by every incumbent of the Presidential office since thecity of Washington be came the seat of government. It has been a con stant topio of complaint, and foots, within the knowledge of all who have been in the habit of spendingSnuoh time at tho national capital, have abundantly substantiated it as a well-grounded complaint. Too gazetteers and guide books, in describing tho public buildings of Washington, unite In repre senting tho President's House os situated “on a beautiful lawn, gently sloping towards the Poto mac, and elevated forty-fonr xeefc above it.” But this description, though technically correct, con veys an erroneous idea, inasmuch as this beautiful lawn do« 3 not skirt the Potomac at all. In the first place, there is a public road between its boundary wall and the border of Tiber Creek, which runs in from tho river, and is a great por tion of the time low, marshy, and stagnant. Mias ma, at certain seasons of the year, is exhaled from its bosom continuously, and renders the White House untenantable by persons who have any re gard for their health. In point of fact, there is hardly another location in the city of Washington, (which, aa a whole, cannot justly be said to bo an unhealthy place of residence,) which would not be better, in a sanitary polntof view, as tho Bite of the President's mansion, than that now occupied aasuch. Aud now that the Treasury is full, and can woll enough afford the ex pense, we hope that the desideratum of so many years will be attained, by the adoption by Congress of tho proposed measure. A splendid addition to the Capitol is now in the course of completion, and there would be a peculiar fitness in erecting a “White House” that should be a fitting companion to it at the same time. In an economical view of the matter, it may be suggested that the present mansion house of the President need not bo abandoned by the Govern ment. It is well known that some of the public offices are not a little cramped for room ; ana that buildings, by no means adequate for their accom modation, and for the convenient transaction of business, have been leased or purchased, as a mat ter of absolute necessity, for lack of more fittiug oues. Tho White House, though unfitted by its location for a family residence, would furnish ex cellent accommodations for several of the depart mental buroaux. Wo cherish the hope that tbo time is net far dis tant when, the Capitol extension being completed, there may rise at the seat of tbo national Govern ment a residence for its Chief Magistrate that may be proudly pointed at as in every way worthy of tho nation. Has Rnuii been Interfering in India? [From the Paris Debats, August 25. J The opinion is widely spread in India tbut the long train of powder which has exploded under the foot of the British at Teheran, Doihi, and Canton, proceeds from a concerted plan prepared by Russia during the late war, and not abandoned by her after the conclusion of peace. In India a sincere belief reigns with respect to tho power of intrigne and tbo diplomatic skill of Russia, notwithstand ing the events of the last few years ought to have proved to the most prejudiced that this skill U&3 boon vastly exaggerated, and that tbo power to in triguo chiefly oxists in the credulity of the public. Diawe pot, in fie t, witness daring the late war ; the utter impotency of Ruttia to produce an explo sion in countries undermined by her influence, such as Bulgaria, Sorvia, and Montenegro? But, if wo in Europe are aware of the reality, people in India are not so far advanced. That Russia possesses agents in Central Asia is a matter of certainty, and doubtless their mission is to raiso enomiea to England. Some of these agents, and especially the unhappy Yicowitcb, who disap peared so suddenly, with his papers at St. Peters burg, havo created too much noise lu the world to permit any doubt with regard to their existence; nut it is not so certain that these agents penetrate into British India. The presence there of a Euro pean is difficult to conceal, and it would be almost impossible for a stranger to mix among populations speaking an Infinity of languages and dialects without being detected and denounced by tho po lice It may be retorted that, if Russian policy does not possess direct agents in India, it employs a host of emisrijries, recruited among the tra ders, travelling fakirs, caravan-drivers, Ac., of Asia. Now, tho slightest knowledge of tho East teaches that nothing serious could be obtained from such instruments, oven if they were eta* ployed, for Asiatics placed between two Christian powers would betray both. How, England pays better and more willingly than Rusbiq. ; conse quently, any intrigues of tho latter would speedily bo diso'osod to the British authorities. In reality, the theatre of the straggle between the two coun tries is still confined to Central Asia, and we should bo very much surprised to leant that the intrigues of Russia in India extend beyond Jjm more or lest authentic communications she may receive with regard to tbo finances tho army, the condition of tho country, Ac , from Greek or Armenian merchants established at Calcutta or Bombay. * * * It is, therefore, neither in foreign intrigues nor in the faults of the officers of the Bengal army that must be sought the causes of the Sepoy revolt. Effects of tbe Canadian Reciprocity Treaty. Last year, under the operation of tho reciprocity treaty, Canada exported native produce to the United States of the value of $22,094,425, and re ceived in return American produce and manufac tures of tbe value of $10,103,525. A great part of tbe Canadian exports doubtless consisted ofjjrains, which we, in turn, exported to Europe, in 1855 the Canadian exports to that country wero 520,339,885, and imports from this country 59,056.9C5. This latter year wa3 also under the operation of tho reciprocity treaty. To ascertain tho effects of this treaty, wo havo hut tocompare tho value of tho trado of the above two yoars with tho v&lno of the trade in formor years under tho restrictive system. Thus, in 1854, the total value of Canadian exports to this country was $19,144,680, and of imports from this country, $3,095,585; and in 1853 the total value of exports was $10,948,055, and of imports, $1,049,130. We obtain those facts from a parliamentary re port, and they certainly very strikingly show the benoficial effects of the reciprocity treaty in de veloping the trade between our colonial neighbors and oursolves. We suppose the exoess of Cana dian oxports over imports in each of the years mentioned may be attributed to tho fact that ours are tho best markets for Canadian produce, or that it is through our warehousemen and our shippers that much Canadian produce finds an European market. ' One feature of these statistics is noteworthy: that tbo relative value of tbe Canadian imports from this country—&3 compared, wo mean, with exports—is greater under the reciprocity treaty than under the old tariff plan.— Detroit Free Press, Cholera in the English Artnr* The following letter is from an officer at Allaha bad : Our reports concerning that city and Cawnpore aro most gloomy, hut reports in this country and at this time are always against us.

We have now cot about four hundred men outride the fort, and tho di.-cnac is certainly on the decline. Up to to-day we have had little to eat; indeed, I would not have fed a dog with my yesterday's breakfast, but our mess and the head quarters ar rived yesterday, and our fare was muim better to day.

The Bengal army is to a man against us, and I am very nervous about Madras and Bombay ; ono singlo mischance and thoso two armies follow. The Strength oi Delhi, Tho Baris Pay* gives tho following account of the strength of Delhi, as coming from a certain aourco: “Delhi, at the moment of tho breaking out of the insurrection, contained tho products of the cannon foundries of Ka&sifoure and tho gun carriages and artillery materials manufactured at Fatticnchar and those of tho celebrated powder mills of Ichopoure. Independent of tho heavy ordnance on tho ramparts, it had in store six hun dred and forty heavy guns of the calibro o* from eighteen to twenty-four pounders, intended to supply tho different forts of tho northeastern liroviuces of tho Calcutta presidency, besides four mndred and eighty pieces of field artillery of tho calibro of from seven to nine, and ninety-five ohused and seventy mortars. Tho stoio of projec tiles and munitions was also very considerable. The Indian artillery ought to have a well-merited re putation, and all these guns were in excellent con dition. “At the time of tho insurrection there was not a siuglo English regiment in Delhi. The native re giments of artillery and engineers did garrison duty, and this explains how it happens that tho defence of the pluco is organised in such & regular manner. . ‘•General Barnard wrote a few days before his doath—T cannotj disguise from myself that I am before a now Sebastopol.* The Great Horse Exitruirrox at Elhiba— About 20,000 people oasemblod upon the fair grounds on Saturday to witness tho great contest between Flora Temple, Lancet, Miller’s Damsel, and Red Bird- The race was subject to these conditions ■ Mile heats, best throe in five : Lancet to go under the saddle, and the others to harness.
