In addition to these, there is the Wasp fort, various earthworks, and the great Star fort, capable itself of holding a garrison of ten thousand mon, with an amount of artillery a perhaps to two hundred additional guns, which would give an aggregate to the regular forts, batteries, and earthworks on the north side of upwards of 500 guns. These have to be taken; but as they occupy a line of cliffs commanding the town, they cannot be taken by bombardment from the opposite side. The Russians (unless they shal have deemed it expedient to leave the Crimea) must be met on those heights before Sebastopol is completely in the occupation of the enemy. We must have the issue on the north side, before we can make up our summary of the losses of the Rus- sians or the gaixs of the Allics A Lirre too Lare.—Immediately upon the opening of one ofour Savings Banks yesterday morning ® man, apparently in great haste, presented his check to the teller for the amount of money i pre to his credit, which was duly paid.

The officer seemed in a terrible rage, and stated that if his umbrells, which a friend had borrowed, had been returned in time, he would have been at the bank before the doors were opened.

The pre- sent for the Empress consists of a pair of slip- pers £0 richly set with precious stones as to be worth 20,000 piasters, and a rich arpet for the side of abed. The Princcss Mathilde is to receive a complete coffee service in chased sil- ver, in the fashion of Constantinople, and on the salver the Emir has caused to be engraved some Arab verses, complimentary to the Prin- cess.

The spirit of a murdered man has been for months in tribulation, but finally, a few days since, succeeded in com- municating the fact that having been mur- dered some ten years gince, his body was placed in a dry well in a setting posture, and the well having since been filled, the position was found inconvenient, especially as the place had been built upon, and the spirit wants the body taking up and decently isterred. The precise location was indicated—directly beneath the steps ofa certain house in Hutchison steet, between Poplar and Girard avenue; and since then the most laborious excavations have been going on to find the body, while tho story hes aflurded abundant food for gossip ig7-The Marshal of Philadelphia, having, on Sunday last, broken up a religious meeting, which was being held on the of the Reading Railroad Company in accordance with an agreemont between the Presbyterian, Episcopal and Methodist clergymen, Monday morning, three clergymen called upon the Mayor to ascertain if the proceedings met with his sanction. The Mayor immediately replied that it did not—that the mcetings were being held upon private property for a lawful pur- pose, and the persons assembled could not be molested. The only preachers that could be taken into custody were the street brawlers such as the ‘Angel Gabriel.” {PA Mr. Stoddard, of Worcester, Mass., has constracted an instrument for making mu- sic bysteam.
