Vrtos. TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1858. -RAUHFJ- - RADETZKY-REDSC,HID PACH,A. Death has been buoy, within the last few' weeks, among the European notorieties. I fhe three Mimes which we have written above uow live only in the Past. While the news of their death is so recent,let ns briefly allude to the 'career and character of each. ELIZABETH RAOILEL. FELIX, daughter of a Jewish pedler, who died on the 6d January, at her eonntry seat, near Cannes, had nearly com pleted her 87th year. While yet a child, she attracted attention as a singer in the cafés on the, Parisian Boulevards. . She used to assist her elder sister , Satan, (who Accompanied her 'to the United States in 18550 and the family, who then were very poor, mainly sub slated on the scanty contributions which this semi-mendicant vocalism 'obtained. A good musician,; who was struck with RACHEL'S voice, ( a contralto,) undertook to educate her for the lyrical drama. Soon he discovered that her voice was better adapted for dolma "Mon thiureinging; for the Otago rather than the 4 . ora: Ile procured her the' best drairiatle instruction; And insisted on her studying the classic parts, her .own predilection being for comedy. Her talents obtained her friends, through whose influence she was admitted as a pupil in the Conservatoire, in her 16th year. A _few Months later oho accepted, what was conaidered a good engagement ($BOO per an num) from the manager of the Gymnase, at Paris. She appeared- there, April 24, 1887, 'in a dri= written expressly for her, and did not create any sensation. She returned to her studies, and her real triumph as a groat actress dates from Jane 12, 1888, when she appeared as Camille in "Les Homes'," at the Theatre Frangals. Her success was so unequivocal that she was hailed, at once, as Queen of the French stage. She had raised an unimpor tant into a great part, and .the impress of ge nius was upon her every look, tone, and move ment. She disdained all the traditionary man nerisms of the stage, and her whole perform ance was imbued with charaCter and originali ty. She immediately followed up Camille by other of the more lofty creations of the French tragedians, and before she was six months on the stage, it was admitted that the passion of LH KAIN and the power', of TAMA were united in her, if ever in any one. Since that time, now nearly twenty years, RACHEL has been the acknowledged bead of the groat actors of France. Gradual. ly she emerged from the creations of RACINS and (Josunium, and availed herself of the genius of modern dramatists, who were only too happy to write for her. ddrfeens Lecou vreur and Lady Tarlujfe are among the best of these special characters. In 1841 she first played in London, and with so much success that, thenceforth, while- life permitted, the visit was annual; and extremely profitable. Perhaps her finest character was l'hedre. In 1855 she visited this country, where, though her lungs were affected, she attracted great ad miration. Her very last appearance upon any stage was on a solitary occasion in Charleston, 17th December, 1856, when resting there for a few days before sailing for Havana. She sought health in the balmy climate of Cuba, butin vain. Returning to Paris, her Illness in creased. She spent the last autumn_ in the Holy Land; and came back, to 'die at home. She bad many personal failings, no doubt, for her passions were strong and she was very ml, but avarice, so generally attributed to her, RACHEL cannot fairly he charged with. Long ago, she provided, in the most liberal manner, meinb of her family. She was sometimes capricious, but Mu) Ivan nova-mere money-hoarder. She must have died very rich, for In some years—indeed, for many years in succession—abe realized from her Parisian, London, and provincial engagements as much as $BO,OOO a year. Some time, be 'fore her death she divided her fortune equally between her parents and her children. She had - A great liking for Jewell, though she dressed very plainly, and liberally patronized the young artists of Paris, of whose works she IA an interesting and,valuable - collection. ' Count JOSEPH RADETZICT, Field Marshal of Austria, died at _Milan on January 5, in his ninety-second year, having' been born in Bo hemia in 1766. He entered the Austrian army et the, age of fifteen, and was made captain in 1793, when he first " fleshed his maiden sword" against the French. -In 1795, at the bat tle of the Trebbia, in whichNSPOZZON soundly beat the Austrians, RAPETZ&Y bad a horse shot under him, and was rewarded with a 'lento nent-coloneley. His promotion went on rapid ly, though the army to which he belonged was continually gettingbeaten. In 1801 he was ma jor-geueral. In the campaign of 1809 be saw a great deal of service, and assisted in the battle dAspern, which' ended 'in NAPOLEON'S re treating. Fur this, which was an unusual cir cumstance, RADETZICY was made Field-Marshal. At the battle of Wagratu, he commanded the Austrian cavalry, and again at the battle of Leipsic (October 1818,) but, though in com mand, was not at Waterloo. The " big wars that make ambition virtue" being over, RA DETZKT successively was Governor of Hunriary, Moravia, and Austrian Poland. Stony-heart ed, implacable, stern, this man was evidently made to; erve under and carry out tyranny. Ills employers felt this, and afraid of liberal opinions getting groUnd in Maiden Italy,' made him commander-in-chief there, with more absolute powers, perhaps, than any Viceroy even of blood-royal had ever been entrusted with. He was placed in this situation in 1831, almost immediately after the ,French and Bel gic revolutions, and be put down all liberal manifestations with a Strong hand. At the elate of 1847, Austrianltily was in revolt, and Rants-me prepared to quiet the country by artillery and bayonets. Then came the revo lution of 1848, at the, news of which Minix arose against the Austrians:. RADETZKT Wm herded the city, but had to fall back. The CHARLES ALBERT; of Sardinia, unequal to the position, headed the popular movement, was successful for a time, but finally was defeated at Novara, which was the death-blow of liberty in Italy. - :With fire and sword, as If it bad been an enemy's territory, RADETZICT swept his armies across Austrian Italy, and was thanked, from Vienna, for having preserved that important portion of the Imperial domain. , Once again, (in 1853) he put down, with his troll hand, a new attempt at Revolt in Milan. He repeat edly desired to resign his command, but was not permitted to do. se until last year, when the Austrian Emperor visited Milan. 'ln some - respects he resembled "the Duke" —length of service and devotipn to the Crown. But, until 18481 at which time he - was 82—at which age WELLINGTON died—Ram - ma was not a fortunate commander. He hid a dog ged sense of duty, but was cold-hearted, cruel, austere, and thoroughly tyrannical. All over Italy—except among the Austrian— his name was a by-word of scorn and hatred; a pretty accurate sketch says, "In stature, ItAverzire was below the middle height, with broad shoulders and a clear, piercing eye ; he possessed That peculiar attraction attributed to FUNPEHICIT the Great, and to NAPOLEON. Among a hundred officers, though simply dresied la a gray sourtout, RADETZRY would command the attention of all." REDSOIHD PACIIA, the greatest statesman of the Ottoman Empire— perhaps it would scarcely be too much to call him the only statesman—has also died. Ile had not nearly attained the threescore years and ten which the Psalmist declares to be the usual limit of human life, In politics he was liberal and progressive, and always urges the present Sultan to exercise tolerance in the very widest manner. Ile had travelled—having _visited Paris and London as Ambassador—and had bees Grand Vizier no less than six times, dying -at hie post. Ho was thoroughly ac quainted with the condition and resources of the Turkish Empire—ho doYotod himself to 189,830 99 PHILADELVHIA,' : ,.TVESPAN,. _OVAir-': 6.; 1.8.58. put down the oppressions and exactions of the Hovernora and Pacbas who so much ;Mimi goiern Turkey—be always resisted the en (lineaments of Russia—and, above all, be endeavored to free his master fkom the die tation of foreign envoys. He • was, that rare - thing in Turkey, an honest man in office, and one of the best proofs is that , he has died comparatively poor. He so thoroughly understood the politics of Turks* that, •whether in or out of office, if a WM. culty occurred, REMOULD PAORA . WOB Certain' to be immediately consulted by the Sultan.. He had full belief that England entertained no interested designs upon Turkey, and them fore he generally acted in combination with Lord STRATFORD (formerly Sir 'STRATFORD &steam), who so long has been British:Am.; bassador at Constantinople. He is one of ' the greatest losses that the Sultan could have sustained at this moment, when the involve: mente of the late war are not yet made smooth. •• NEWS FROM HON. W. B. REED. porreepondepoe of The Preer.J liolro-Koko, Nov : 18,1867. Mr. Reed, our new Minister, has at last ttr. rived, and seems in very good health an , ; spirits; and if a cordial welcome 11-cev .• Countryman, and, strangers, toe; can eriaiiiiiitia lino, ba ought to be able, I* ig a to work. with some zeal. It is'not twit° say what he cart do, for until some movement in advance is made by the hostile powers, or some; dreaded concession be made by the Cantone e, things are at a dead lock hero. Lord Elg n is here in a private steamer, in the harbor, and Baron Gros, with the French squadron, is near at hand. The Russian Minister, Admiral•Poti atine, is expected every hour, it being under stood in outside circles—for these diplomatists manage to keep their real secrets very well, that he has been waiting at Slianghae to hear of Mr. Reed's arrival before coming here; for, as we all know, there is no lore lost be tween the Russians and English. The recep tion of our Minister has been everything that his countrymen could desire. Every civility and courtesy which could be extended have been, both by the English authorities and the officers of other foreign services. It le not known what course Mr. Reed will take, or whether he has yet coununicated his arrival to the Imperial Commissioner. It is evidently the wish of the Allies that he should not,but the impression outside generally is, that he will pursue a direct course, and ignore, as far as possible, the complication around him. In one respect he seems very decided, and though. a personal and domestic matter, some im portance is attached to it. Mr. Reed makes his home on board his ship, and under his flag.

INTERESTING LETTER FROM KARS/LEJ Noricipoildince or 'rho Presci FORT Scorr, K. T.;Jan. 13, 1859., In my last letter I told you that mechaolo4 of various kinds were receiving $2.60 to 88 per day here, and that they can scarcely be had it that price. The advantage to a me-: ohmic in living in Southern Kansas is that he can work all winter in , the open air without inconvenience. Ho loses little or no time in consequence of the cold. I have a carpenter friend here from lowa who enforces this fact inpon roe by saying that ho has earned as much 'money in the Nix weeks be has boon here, as be...would hasSibnitial !inter mained in lowa. The Pennsylvanians who are here with me, and there are many of them, are all charmed like myself, with our climate. The simmer- Ls never as hot as in the valleys from which we came. lit the hottest days of last summer there was a constant and balmy breeze playing across the limitless prairies, turd fanning the cheek of the traveller. I was much abroad le the sun, and I seldom thought of carrying an umbrella. • The summer- nights are still mote charming. They are Just about the proper temperature to allow a man who has an honest conscience to enjoy pleasant dreams. The at mosphere is clear and pure, and affords the brightest moonlight. Wo are partially on the elope which rises of to the Itpcky Mountains. Wo aro above the region of heavy fog and dew. It is a very common thing for travellers, when night comes on, to throw themselves down on the grass of the prairie, and sleep till, morning, without the fear of dow or e‘ brill snakes" before their eyes—and without any kind of snakes M their hat, either. Rains are not more frequent than is barely sufficient for vegetation. Ii is not often that it lightens, but when it does, it is well enough to stand from under. I have seen one man who forgot to practise this important Nene tion, and it knocked him speechless for a while. He has since "come to," and has now something of a Davy Crocket reputation for being half horse and half aligator. The leaves on the trees did not begin to change color till the first of November. Since thou the weather has boon but very little colder. It has all along been customary to winter cat tle hero without housing or feeding, leaving them to hunt their own provender; it would be better, however; to fehd. Hay can be had in the fall for the cutting, (on the prairie,) and need only be fed for a couple of months; fresh pasture is good again by the first of March. This is not true, however, of northern Kansas. There is more difference between our climate and that than the distance would indicate. Ours is the land of the paw-paw, the persimmon, and the pecan; the wild goose Makes his winter home with us. But it is none. cessary to enumerate more facts on this point; the farmer will readily sea our advantages for raising stock, and the mechanic for labor. In one word, we do-not have to spend the earn. logs of the summer to carry us through the winter. The labor of each season is just thin much clear gain. , Yours, &0., G. A. C. [For the Prow] Ma. EDITOR: A eorrespondent Indulges in 'some strictures upon the notion of Seloot Council in cut- ting oft from the annual appropriation bill to the pablic flehools an Item of appropriation of fifty dollars to each section, for salaries of secretaries to the respective boards of directors. Tho aggregate of appropriation thus out off Is twelve hundred dollars. The remerks of Mr. Cnyier In Baled Council atom to me to vindicate the wisdom of the aotion of that body. Ile midis' substance that it was an objeetionablo appropriation, both 'because it was to itself unwise, and at the same time It was °hotly illegal. It was illegal, because the 48th seetiOn of the consolidation act provides ,4 That no person shall, at the same time, be a member of more than one of the following bodies, to wit: Tho City Councin, the Guardians of the Poor, the Board of health, the Controllers of the Public Sohooli, the Directors of the .Public Schools, and the Inspootors of the County Prieon Nor shall any person be a mere. ber of any of these bodies who is at the same time a salaried , o.ficer tinder the same, or under say of them." Subeoquent legislation permits a direc tor to be at the same time a member of tho Cit y or of any other of our public corpora. Hone (act of April 21,1865, sec. 28), and p ermits Councils to allow salaries to Secretaries Odor May 10,1857); but no subsequent legislation requires Councils to allow such salaries or repeal the ex press provision just quoted from the consolidation act forbidding a director to bo at the same time 41 salaried officer of the Board. Tho &oratories' are uniformly members of the Boards, and to pay them is, therefore, in simple terms, deliberately to violate the law. Mr. Saylor further said that it was as 711111438 as it was illegal to pay those notaries, and In ex. planation of this view, be remarked that it was unwise because the whole theory of public , admit/- filtration with ns is that of honorary and voluntary service. The office of director, like that of mem ber of Councils, was an honorable one, which found its compensation In the dignity and influence which attend the plum), and in the consolousnees of doing good. It was lowering the dignity of the °Mee to attach to it title pitiful nattily, and yet, small as it is, it has a tendency to tompt , inforior men from unworthy motives to seek the position. Nor ore the labors of a secretary in any degree onerous: Secretaries of most of our publio institu- Conifer a benevolent character render much greater service entirely withoutoompeneation. The labor bears no compensation with that of a member of Councils. A member of Councils performs every month more than twice the service that any of these secretaries is oallod upon to perform. It would seem scarcely necessary to add a com ment upon the useless extravaganoe ot this ex penditure. The aggregate le twelve hundred dol lars per annum—an amount which, at the rate per capita publie instruction costa the city, would edu cate nearly. two hundred children. Lot us opera an expenditure which is at once Illegal, useless, and positively injurious to the oharaoter and dignity of our school system.

WtrSoN, KANSAS AFFAIRS (Per The Peery.] There is such a conflict of opinions alsOut the true state of Kansas affairs, and the proper mode of dispo sing of them, that I am tempted to offer you the following views, legal and political. They seem to me to be pm Mr. Webster once said) " as plain as a turnpike." The people of a Territory have no right to trans form themselves into a sovereign State without au thority from Congress Ant had and obtained. They may regulate their own domestic affairs in their own way, inside of the form of government whioh Congress may have given them!; but they dannot change that form without authority. To grant that they can, leads to the following conclusions: 1. If they can erect a sovereign State on lands belonging to the United States, then they may pull down the government given them by Congress, and build anew one on its ruins, whenever and of what. ever kind they please. 2. If they can do this of right, they are not bound to present themselves to Congress for ad. mlesion at all; and thus an independent sover eignty may be set up and maintained, within the jurisdiction, on the soil, and in defiance of tho Congress and people of the United States. 3. Suppose the Mormons of Utah establish it State government with polygamy as one of its pil lars. Aooording to tho logic of the Deoomptonites, Congress would - be bound to admit her. But I fanny the login of reason and of Congress would bo, you were not authorized to change your frame of government. You shalt remain subject to the Con stitution and lams of Congress, until you are au thorized to make another. It is true the people of a Territory, by authority of their Legbil stare, may make a State government. But they do this of *race,' Induct of right. - A Constitution thus Made,.being authorized by their own law, is lawful as to them. But as to Congress and the people of the United States, being unau. thorlzed by them, it ist wholly void, or as Mr. Bu chanan said, it is, as to them, a a usurpation." To aver that Congress is bound to admit suable. Con stitution is sad logic. • It were much sounder logic to say, Congress is bound to reject, for mere want of authority. When such a Constitution presents itself to Con. grera. it comes on its knees, asking pardon for its unauthorized notion, and praying Congress to ra. tify it. The application is addressed to the wis dom and sound discretion of Congress. Whether Congress will ratify snoh unauthorized prooeod. lugs, in any ease, depends altogether on the sover eign will sad pleasuro of Congress. They are not bound to do it, even if they know all has been fair and right, mush less where they know all has been foul, false, and fraudulent. .To suppose Congress 'will admit the Leoompton Constitution, In the fadoOf the solemn decision of the people of Itansas, ;by an overwhelming ma• jority against it, at a legal election; in the faeo of the earnest protest of the Legislature of the Territory, establlehed by Congress es the legal exponent of the peeple's will; In the facie of the vigorous and manly protestation of the Demo cracy, expressed in resolutions of the Territorial Convention, and of nearly all of the Democratic press there, Is to suppose Congress to have lost all moral sense and all common sense. The vote of the .4th of January, being au. thorised. by the very same power which au• thorlsed the Leoompton Contention, is, at least. as legal as the vote of the 21st of December; and why any person, in or out of Congress, North or South, should favor the admission of that Consti tution, and thus force on the people of Kansas a form of government which four-fifths of them havo rejected by their votes, is passing strange, Indeed. To admit that Constitution, under all the elronmstances, would be such an outrage on the popular will as never was hoard of in a Demo orstio Government since the beginning of the world; it would bo as wanton, too, and without excuse, as It would be outrageous, inasmuch as there is no difficulty in the way of sending it back, and taking a "full and fair" vote on the whole of it. I affirm that an enabling act of Congress is necessary and proper in all eases, and of all cases that of Kansas is the one in which it is most ne cessary and proper. If there was no question of slaves in it, I verily believe there is not a man in the Union who would not reject the Lecopton Constitution with scorn. It remains to be seen whether the South will dishonor herself by legal izing fraud, and setting the popular will at defi ance; whether their elevated professions are founded on principle or interest, and if the latter, how many and what Northern men will go with them without principle or interest. But, it is said, the Constitution may be amended in %short time. If this were oven true, what a miserable apology It is! Shall an outrage be done now because it may be repaired some years hence? But it is not true, It can near be law fully amended until two-thirds of the Legisla ture and the Governor unite in calling a Convention. Whether it may be amended before 1804 by a tote of two-thirds of the Legislature calling a Convention, or not, will depend entirely on whether the President would recognise the new or old government as the legal one. But that It never can be amended, either be fore or after 1804, 'without two-thirds of the Legislature agreeing to it, is as plain as English words can make it. Such a provision in a Constitution is a substi tution of the will of the minority for that of the ma jority, and I do not hesitate to pronounce it anti. republies% • A NATiONAI, AMOR" LOU,' / 11111 ANnntt !UPRYIT.4I' Ploa The Pilot.) -We have fallen, on strange thaw. .4 snap oarrlei deadlyweapons for some months, visits and kills his enemy, is defended acquitted en the Alen of, insrmity..

Be it your cardinal maxim that wo. man is her own great—one may say her only real destroyer. Bach misery never comes upon her un less she has fret, in the recesses of her own br oom, lighted a flame which the breath of lying lips is always ready to fan.' It is strange how easily the man of appetite guesses her fatal secret weak ness, whilst be stands silent and respectful before the eyes of another woman, who has not broken down those hedges of innocence and reserve which fled Almighty causes to grow with the growth and strengthen with the strength of maid and matron alike. There aro novels without end in our day. Their general moral,or rather immoral, purpose is to make human life a love-dream.

[From the Liverpool Dewier, Deo. 216, 1857.] The Royal Insurance Almanac for 1858. Pub lished in London and Liverpool by the Royal Innen° Company. Though Christmas comes but once a year, it brings with it a hoot of publications which carve to amuse and instruct, until the progress of time has completed another cycle. Amongst the works which this flood of seasonable literature brings to us, certeinly not the least useful, if not always the most ornamental or amusing, aro the-almanacs. In the Royal Insurance Almanac—which, by the way, combines both the useful and ornamental in an eminent degree, though it makes not the slight est pretension to be amusing—this is done in a characteristic manner, and the lesson it reads to us is unmistakably this—" Look ahead ! Take care of number one! What has been, will be again." "What has been,"—as set forth in the "historical memoranda," Iro.,',withi which the monthly calendar of the Royal Insurance Alma nac is garnished, is a great number of very large fires in recent years, and the consequent loss of large sums of money by persons who were not provident enough to Insure themselves against the ravages of that element which Is acknowledged on all hands to be a good servant, but a terribly bad master. The lesson thus conveyed may be reed at a glance by the dullest mind, and if the appli cation of the moral were universal, undoubtedly a great social advantage would be the result. With regard to the system of insurance against loss both by fire and of life, it is much to be regret ted that the provident principles which it implicit are not more generally practised by the great masses of the people of this country. Leaving out of consideration altogether those wealthier members of the community on whom such calamities inflict, perhaps, a mere temporary loss of comfort, there are thousands upon thou sands, not only of workingmen, but also of these who rank themselves higher in the soolal wale, who might, by denying themselves some, dearly bonghtluzuriee now and then, or avoiding some worse than fruitless dissipation, save money enough to scours themselves or their descendants from the bitter eufferings which sudden calami ties, either of death or fire, frequently inflict upon them. Why more people in these positions of life do not avail themselves of the boon which the principle of insurance offers to them, may be traced perhaps, to other causes than those implied in habits of improvidence. One cause, now happily diminishing, which bee hitherto acted adversely, may no doubt be found in the little leg:Platens en couragement bestowed upon such investments; or, to speak more correotly, the great legislatieS die couragemonts imposed in the shape of heavy du ties, which have found their natural sequence In high premiums. Another reason. and unhappily one which we are not justified in characteriehe as diminishing, is to be found in the number of bubble schemes which have sprung up and worked sad mischief of late years by destroying confidence in a principle, the very perfection of safety in itself. Insurance emcee, in which nothing was insured with any cer tainty but a loss, have, unfortunately, been only to prevalent, and have deterred many from avail ing themselves of the benefits conferred by one of the best institution which the foresight or inge nuity of man ever devised. Perhaps, however, the darkness and mystery which has clouded the latter end of some of those rotten " insurance" Companies, which sprung into existence, and have died out within the last few years, only nerve to show more brightly the lustre which has gathered round the career of other similar undertakings established , on a sounder basir, and conducted on more equitable and safer principles. Buoh en undertaking the Royal Insurance Cempany has undoubtedly proved itself.

Envoy,. the Baron Gros, animated by • great sense of humanity and a proper appreciation of the gallant people he represents, desired to communicate with the impr rid authorities at Pekin, before making war ;Aida was overruled by Lord Ripe ! . The polite French men then resolved to send a letter to the Governor General of Canton, the indomitable Yoh, express ing, u I am informed, to his algae, hie Knee of the inhumanity and indecency of tailing war upon comparatively feeble people with - out warning: but French eh iyalrywas overborne by the English thirst for bloohend booty, and a:combined attack is to be made upon a people whose great offence is their daring te disregard the dictation of mi arrogant young Englishman, and especially the pmesaion of wealth—the finite of years of patient industry and frugality: %I/French feel atutelT Abe painfulneat of their_position. Notwithstanding all the peace eung in favor of the allienco, the meetings of the Emperor and Queen, and their very free, and, per haps, indelicate exhibition of royal affeetion, by embracing and kissing In public, the genuine Frenchman now, as he has done for years, regards' England as the power which has deepened them of their commerce, end stripped them of their splen did colonial inheritance. A Frenchman will mane to he a Frenchman when the remembrance of Canada, of Acadia, the Idea of th e West, and the Eastern ocean, and their once expanding empire in India, all swept away by the power of England, masa to came a pang of regret, or to nourish a sen timent of revenge There is no nation against whom the French would more readily draw their swords and shot their guns than their English al lies; and the sentiment is reeiprosaL They hate each other with a cordial hatred. As a military power, the French do not conceal their contempt eor the English, and her present volition, depend nt upon - tb. forbeavama of ether Powere,' and sptlintly. Goa famejuoi palsy ef-thier own Em peror, is with them an evident and satisfactory fact, It will be a long time, I trow, before Eng land Still be bra condition to ant•saposstbelemir lug dictation of Lord Clarendon, and torn her attention to the affairs of the West. This place is now quite' a rendesvoa?for diplo mate : besides Lord Elgin, Baron Grt,s, and Mr. Reed, we have now his excellency Count Pontia tine, the Russian envoywho arrived yesterday from Shan hue In the R u ssian steamer America The arrival of his excellency renewed th e firing of salutes, which has been the daily occupation of the numerous ships -of- war the past week. Our own ship was the first to salute the Russian digni tary, which we did with nineteen guns. Oar ex ample was immediately followed by the line-of battle-ship Calcutta, Admiral Seymour's flag; by the Prenels, Batch, and Spanish ships. In this salute to Count Pontiatine there was a special signilleinee. While at Shanghae, a fete weeks since, he was treated by 'the English naval officer in command, Sir Frederick Nicholson, with marked discourtesy—that gentleman having °ailed upon the Count the very day. I believe, that be sailed for Japan. In thus acting Sir Frederick was unfortunate, or exhibited very bad taste. Count Pontiatine is an admiral in the Russian ser vice, and during the late war commanded theßns sign' forces in the Pacific. The distinguished ability with which he discharged his duties is well known—the English themselves acknowledge that they were worse than defeated. Sir Frederick Nicholson was at the attack upon Petropantskt, and, I believe, the Officer who led the storming party. The defeat of the English, en unexpected and disastrous, so preyed upon the British Admi ral that he blew out his brains. With the return of peace all political animosities should be hushed up between individuals, and Sir Frederick Nichol son has thus lost an opportunity to perform a graceful act, which would be more creditable than the exhibition of a different spirit is dignified Before this reaches you you will have beard of the fall of Delhi. Can the Imagination picture atrocities greater than those committed by the British! If possible, they exceed in diabolism the inciting the savages on our frontiers to murder our people—bone of their bone and flesh of their own flesh—and paying for scalps, with out distinction of age or sex. The horrid massacre by thousands of the natives of -In dia,for the crime of fighting for the country which Cod hasgiven them, has excited dis gust ever here, while the putting to death the two sensor the King after they had surrendered is an not of infamy scarcely paralleled. In fighting as they did for their aged and dethroned lather, the young men but performed a filial and patriotic duty ; that they exhibited a courage and ability surprising to thifEnglish is t rise, but with any other nation these gushiest and their misforinnes would have protested them from insult and a erneedeath. By the French, the expression of disgust is line quivoctal, and upon the Emperor himself mast pro duce a telling effect. Himself twice a prisoner for attempts to overthrow the dynasty of Louis Philippe, what would have been the sentiment of the world bad he been lashed to a gun and blown to atoms by a twenty-four pound shot? And yet, this is scarcely a parallel : the young Delhi Prin ces are the descendants of a long line of sovereigns, many of whom were Illustrious, and the right of their family was based upon the traditions of cen turies. The Emperor of the French is but a ple beian, the nephew of an unfortunate uncle, who was chained to a rook in the 4 midst of the ocean, and tortured to death by his present allies. The present rebellion in India may be pat down, but British power hangs upon a slender thread; another war, unaided by the French, and her dominion in the East, like Jonah's gourd, will speedily wither away. B. Lady Napier, the wife of the British Minis. ter at Washington, arrived at Old Point on Wednesday last, in the steamer Water Witch, Lieut. Lovell, commanding, from Washington. The Water Witch was placed at her ladyship's Service by the Secretary of the Navy. On Thursday morning last the valuable resi dence of (leo. A. Bailey, Esq., Sheriff of Sorry so., Va., was destroyed by fi re. It occurred at such an early hour that the inmates barely escaped. The loss to Mr. Bailey is $20,000. The Fort Smith (Ark.) Herald records the violent death of Mr. 1. T. Ward, an extensive tra der, for many years, In the greet( nation, who was stabbed on Christmas by Jim Car, an Indian of that tribe. A desperate light took place at Louisville; icy., on Thursday night, between the Mechanic and Hope ere companies. A men named Fred liens was shot, and it is supposed mortally wounded. A German, named Louis Wetterbahn, com mitted suicide at Newark, on Friday afternoon, by taking poison. Ho was a baker by occupation. It is supposed that domestic difficulties prompted the act. The United States steam frigate Mississippi, Captain Nicholson,bound to China, was at Mauri tius on the 18th of November. She arrived on the 14th from the Cape of Good Hope.
