A ashe, ame of the London Times, wri- — from Constantinople, on the 25th of June, quakes the following estimate of the loss of life in tae wars of the French Republic, compar ing the number with those that have perished in the present Crimean war. The writer says: The progress of science and civilization does not seem tu have rendered war les: bloody than of yore, or even to have diminished the ¢on- tingent losses by exposure and disease. When it is stated thatin the wars of the French Ke- public and Empire 6,000,000 of men were lost to Europe, the first feeling is one of increduli- ty; but if we may judge by the eventa of the past 183 months, the present struggle is destined to exceed all that have gone before in the wide-spread destruction which it will cause From an authority which there is every reason to trust, I learn that the Turkish Ewpire has lost 130,000 men since the declaration of war in the autumn of 1853. The French have since their arrival in the East lost 70,000 dead or in- valided; while the British have suffered to the extent of 28.000. Although Austria bas not been at war, yet her oc-upation of the Provinces and the forma- tion of immense camps, which are always more or less unhealthy, have cost her no slight dim- inution of force. But putting aside the neutral Powers, the Allies—French, British and Turks —appear to have lost about 230,000, but there is reason to believe that this ealeulation is be- low the truth. Taking into account the mur- tality on board the ships of war and transport:. and among the laborers of different kinds at- tached to the armies, of whom there are somo thousands in the Crimea. it may be assumed that from 500.000 to 600,000 men have perished or become invatided since the commencement of the war. And yet it caanot be said that there have been many bloody battles, or in- deed any fighting on the scale of the gigantic contests which marked the wars of the uch Empire. When operations are conducteg{ on a Jarger field, we mustexpect still greater es. and be prepared for supplying re-inforcemen‘s in greater numbers. and with greater regular- ity than has as yet been thought necessary. Desrerate Arrray with Carxames 1x Lox- Dox.—Thfee Chinamen have been arrested in London. charged with attempting to murder ‘Teh Kwei, or Tuck Gay. a Chinese juggler, end his wife, and the former of whom is so badly injured that he is not expected to recover Tuck Gay is reported to have realized a hand- some fortune by his performances, and when he was taken to the London Hospital he wore a belt round his waist containing upwards of £200 in gold Eight Chinamen, including the three prison- ers, had © to his house late one night. and demand money, but finding they could get none, they attacked him and ecuf him with their knifes, and afterwards attacked his wife inasimilarmanner. They then ran away, but not before one of them was severely wounded. When before the police court, each of the three Frisoners made statementa, but they did not agree as to the reasun whieh had induced them to yisit Teh Kwei’s lodgings. One said he went tosmoke opium and drink. another said he went to look on, and the third that Keh Kwei had promised bim money. and when he ~ Went for it, Teh Kwie struck him and stabbed him on the thigh. ‘ One version of the origin of this murderous affray is, that the prisoners and their five com- Pasions were charged by Tch Keh Kwei with the abduction of a girl, about 13 or 14 yearsof aEe, whom he had brought from China, and who acted as « servant to him and his wife, and “‘slavey’’ as the girl was termed, he was about to proceed to Canten in the ship Salacia, and had just paid £120 passage money MOVEMENTS OF OCEAN STEAMERS.

Jackson, Philadelphia—Dear Si: have been a subject of Dyspepsi in i form, for the last five years. Such tion for twelve months that the phys: who saw me said | must die. Wéiile in this eon- dition [ was carried to the watering places in Vir- ginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina, but was not benefitted by any water to which I was taken. While on my way home I stopped a week at Ruth- ‘rfordton, a small village in North Carolina, to try the eifect of some Chalybeate water in that place. About the last of the week 1 went intoa drug store to get some medicine for my child and myself. ‘There were several of the villaxe physi- sians in the store, and one of them seemed to take some interest in my case, and, after asking me some questions, said he had been a dyspeptic and had been greatly benefitted by the use of HOOF- LAND’S GEKMAN BITTERS, prepared by you, and he insisted that | would try the Bitters. He also called the next day at my room. and in- sisted so much that I would try them that I asked him to get me one botile. He did it, and I com- menced taking it as directed. and I was more ben- ofitted by it than all the water and medicine I had ever taken. After reaching home one of my neizhbors came to me for a prescription and medicine, (he a dys- eptic,) and I gave him nearly all the Bitters J ad left, which effected much good in his case. He has often called on me for more of the same kind of medicine, saying he was tore benefitted by it than any other he had taken, bat I lave not been able to get any more for him or myselfsince ; will you, therefore, please ship me a dozen or more as soon as ible.
