ARRIVAL OF CANADA.
It,. the Canada at llalititx, and the Itermau
at New York, we have Liverpool' dates to the
18111, August, of which we give details:
In military circles at Vienna time opinion is
decidedly fitvotable to the Allies in the next
assault. Time Military ttarette, which for some
time has hoped and predicted in favor of Rus
sia, now gives its voice in favor of the besieg
ers. It says: "The French euginects have
now got so pear to the east fort and the Ram
belnia fortifications, that the first Russian line
of defence can hardly withstand the next as
sault. Clem Chrulelf directs the defence of
the Karabelnin. It is inferred by his latest
measures, that whilst prepared for the worst,
be is resolved to defend his ground to the ut
most."

The bombardment of Sweaborg by the Al

An immense conflagration, lasting 45 hours,
has destroyed nearly all the storehouses and
magazines of the Arsenal, which is a complete
ruin. Various powder magazines *and stores

a terrible blow and suffered an enormous loss.

The French loss is leally trifling.

Duke Constantine asked permission from the
Emperor to attack the deminished fleet before
Cronstadt, but the Emperor refused.
Sweaborg seems not to be in possession of
the allies, and, as it is not a key to any impor
tant position, its destructjon must be regarded
tie a detached ent erprize, and not as any part
of any comprehensive operation. Its success

to revive the spirits of the fleet, and to satis

Howeyer 7 imirobahle all those apprehensions
about an impending attack of the Russians
seem, they kayo one advantage connected with
them—they iftpart a certain amount eflife and
activity to the armies occupying the Tchernoya
line, which, without some stimulant, would be
overpowered with ennui, and they act as a kind
of corrective against sickness. In winter the
troops engaged in the trennhes suffered much
more from sickness than those in the rear on
the heights beyond Balaklava ; now the reverse
is the case, and the troops in the trenches are
in better hotetli than those at Tehernaya. Of i
course, inactivity is just as final to a body of
troops as overwork. The Turks alone form an
exception. Ide not think they could, be in
jured by any amount of !caner/Winne. The
loss in the Sardinian army, on the contrary, in
some measure is to be attributed to the want
of excitement, which has engendered n morbid.
hypochondriac feeling, to the the great disad
vantage of their bodily condition.
THE SARDINIAN CONTINGENL-Yet, with all
its losses, the Sardinian contingent is still a
fine body of men. I went the day before yes
terday to see their church parade, which is held
every Sunday, and at which all the troops not
on duty are present. The ground chosen for
it is a slope leading from Kamera towards the
plain of Balaklava. The troops occupy three
sides of a square, and on the fourth, the high
est, a tent is erected where mass is celebrated.
They have an excellent band, which plays du
ring service. The whole service reminds one
very much of the church parades of the Atis
trian army. After the service was over the
troops defiled before General Marmora ; first
the infantry, and then the artillery. Each pa.
rade was preceded by the preturespie•looking
Bersaglieri, at double prick pace, nearly a run,
with their officers on little mountain ponies ;
then the infantry, in their grey coats, which if
not the most brilliant, is certainly for wear the
most convenient color. The men, although
puha& not quite so tall as the old English
regiments, are sonsiderably more so than the
average of French troops. Alter tho infantry
came the artillery, in their short blue tunics,
with yellow facings. When the defiling was
over the cavalry went through some short eve.
lotions. Although collected from several reg.
iment,, each of which furnished a squadron, as
,very regitnent furnished a battalion, they went
through their manceuvres with beautiful precis
ion. The horses, although inferior in size and
breeding to the mass of English cavalry hoeses,
are compact and useful looking animals.—
They are mostly Italian horses, but improved
by Arab blood.

Camp Meetings—An Indian Camp Meet-
We understand some — half•a•dozen Camp-
Meetings are about commencing at different
points in this section of the country. The most
prominent is that at Taronturu, which begins
to-morrow. To this, the different Methodist
congregations of this city go. Six or seven
tents, besides a largo boarding tont, will be
there from the Smithfield Street Church, and
the other city charges will be as fully repre
sented.
The occurrence of these Camp Meetings
brings vividly to our memory art occasion of
this kind which we attended several summers
ago, the novelty and impressiveness of which
' was of a character not to be forgotten. We
speak of an "As Indian Camp
. .illeding." It
' was held on the river St. Mary's, opposite Su
gar island, at the head of Lake George, in
Canada West. We loft the Sant St. Marie in
the morning, and by the middle of the after
noon our French voyagers had, by dint of oar
and sail, lauded us on Sugar island whero we
were kindly welcomed by Mr. P. S. Church,
the only white resident of the Island, and a
truly 'hospitable specimen of the American
backwoodsman.
While supper was preparing we wandered
down to the shorn, and could easily distingnish
the evening hymn of the assembled Indians,
wafted like a song of Paradise, over the pure
waters. Supper over, we entered a small ca
noe, and were soon on our way to the Camp to
attend the evening service. A more complete
ly, balmy twilight never followed setting sun.
It Wan but .a mile across the river to the vamp,
and the moon was dimly lighting the meters,
maltin,g• silver spots wham the , current broke,
into eddies, and mimic whirlpools. Down in
the river the bright stars shone, as purely and
steadily no when see looked up at them in the
heaven above us, and the tall trees npon the
shore were delicately dagnerreotyped in the
placid surface at their roots. As we approach.

' tired curve of the shore, where grew a thick
cluster grove of evergreens arid maples, we
could hear the: loud, earnest voice of prayer,
; and the deep guttural of the responsive 'Amer,!'
Tho corny seas circular, enclosing an area of
more than an eighth of an acre, and at different
stations, elevated beacons, or fires of pine and
birch open stands seven ibet high, east a lurid
light on the whole scene, and lit up the waving
branches of the overarching balsams.
Our little vessel grated a sandy beach, where
were fastened a fleet of light, fragile canoes,
and we hastened ashore.
It woo is novel scent--the virgin forest, a
wilderness since the hood, now becomes a holy
place, an altar of God, and its silence broken
by hymns of praise from tanks of dusky wor
shippers, who but a few years past wandered
their native wilds, pagans I The cireumfer•
mace of the camp was occupied by the bark
wigwams of two or three hundred Indians,
mostly Ojilivitte. They were collected from all
parts of Lake Superior, and some Creek In•
diens were present who had journeyed Irons
the far shores of Hudson's Hay. A rude plat•
form, roofed with tough hoards, had been cram
tod to serve as a pulpit, and rows of hewn logs
were placed on the ground in parallels, lacing
the pulpit—these were the pews of this forest
temple.
To the right of the speaker, the seats were
occupied by the males, and to the loft by the
females and their children. Most of the males
had adopted the costume of the whites, uhlio'
we noticed a number who were clothed in the
usual blanket, shirt and ornamental leggings.
The latter, as we afterwards learned, were "pa
gans," or unconverted Indians—so called in
contradistinction to the 'praying Indians' or
those who regularly attend divine worship and
take part in the religious exercises. The "pa
gans proudly reclined at full length on the
earth in preference to .occupying a sent with
the congregation. As we mitered, the prayer
was just ended, and a native preacher, whose
countenance beamed with intelligence and ear
nect piety, was reading the verse of a hymn in
the Ojibwa tongue. An old man with gray
hairs politely offered us seats, and the music
began.
"Ii rose—that chanted mournful strain
Like a low anthem o'er the plain;
Such an when winds and harpstriegs meet
And take a long unmeasured tone."
A precentor led the music, the tune bearing
some resemblance to some of our own church
melodies, and his assistant, when two lines had
been sung, repeated the next two in a lend
voice. We shared a byinn book with the In.
dian who sat next to us, and finding an English
translation of the hymn on the opposite page,
joined in the solemn exercise with a feeling of
awe and reverence never before experienced:
If there were nu finely modulated and art.
trained voices, their music was certainly more
earnest, decided and heartfelt than is ellen
I felt in our much landed metropolitan choirs.—
' The shrill alto of the feisalea,,mingled with the
guttural notes of the males it not all in tune,
were sanctified with nn evident enthnsiam, as
if these tawny children of nature had caught
the spiritual inspiration of the 'sweet singer of
Israel' without his vocal harmonies. One aged
patriarch in particular ? attracted our attention

ly that he was a devoted Christian. Ile sat
upright, with his eye fixed upon the precentor,
and sang With such an intensity of feeling and
emphasis of ' voice, accompanied by 'a fre
quent and vehement geSticulatiou, that might
have caused a smile anywhere else.
Tho hymn ended, the native preacher acme
nod lifting up his eves to Heaven, beg an is
prayer, G itehee Great S pirit
We understand no more. The prayer, hewer.
Cr, was delivered with an unctisn and fervor,
in which all the congregation crooned to sync
patbise, and imitating their missionaries the
more ardent would clap their hands and utter
an •Amen l' in response to passages which
seemed to impress them most vividly. The
prayer was quite long, and at its close a short
exhortation was given by an attending clergy
man, whose sonorous voice made echoes in the
opposite woods. As the entire congregation
arose to receive the benediction, the camp
tires shone out very brightly,• and lit up the
dark forms of the worshippers, reverently bow
ing their heads, and we wondered if when all
,these things have passed away, the blinding
glories of that great white throne will shine
upon those strange beings, ransomed and re
deemed. Who can doubt but that receiving
that parting blessing there were souls who had
learned the glorious troth, Christ died for all
for the red nine, as Well as .he white innn, and
that they will re-unite in that mansion above
which the Father 'lath prepared'?
The exercises of the :evening were not yet
over, however. A class meeting assembled at
side of the of the camp. The attendance was
not so large as nt the prayer meeting, and was
mostly of females. A small area of ground
was enclosed by a rude railing, or fence ; in
side of this they all kneeled, and a missionary
began prayer. In a few moments eight or
nine men and women were. praying, and several
were singing in different parts of the enclosure
The voices of the speakers were interrupted
and sometimes altogether drowned by the
moans and cries otkomo nearly franticwoman.

moving sea of tears, prayers. moans and bitter
self-reproachings. The poor creatures seemed
to have come suddenly ton fearful realization
of their depraved apd sinful condition. Seve
ral of the 'pagan' Indians had been induced to
attend this meeting and had even fallen upon
their knees. One of them we particularly no
ticed, for we had before admired his symmetri
cal figure and classic features.
He was upon his knees and was surrounded
by a swarm of his converted brethren anxious
to add one More name to the catalogue of the
repentant. They prayed, beseeched and im
plored. Every possible appeal was made to
his conscience, his affections and his nature ;
but there he knelt, upright in their midst, un
moved, uninfluenced—his blanket wrapped
about him, and his eye immovably fixed on
some distant object. He would not exchange
big Manila for the white man's God; he would
not give up his Meta and his medicine-dance
for the Bible and t h e Sabbath ; his wild my-
thology for the true religion. But there were

utmost positiveness that "she never would—"
What? Marry a man with red hair? No.
Waltz with a wino-bottle or promenade with a
tobacco-box? No. "That she never would
in all her 10; mile a book unless site had
something to say !" In the midstof evil exam
ples may she remain faithful to her early pro
misc.
lkirrhe Locufeco leaders in this county urn
