(Hear. I wish seme important epithets. or anid frieud whether he has a copy ct to to knew from inal document in <<, dni ether he has tion to lay it on the table of the House. (A -) 1 wish ‘to call the attention of my noble friend to some expressions which I made use of with respect to the circnlar signed by Count Nesselrode, abd which expressions bave been the sabject of eriticiam. | beg t> »ble friend will bear me out insaying that the auswer to that document by the Minister of Foreign Affuirs of France has complete- ly, both in argument and fact borne out the conclu- won that | came to. (Cheers) 1 beg further to state, that as fur as relates to the cirewlar document from St. Petersburg, published yesterday, | may leave that ra'ely without any comment. (Hear, hear.) Bat I beg leave to call ‘my noble friend’s at- tention to a particular passage in it. I understand, according to my interpretation of that ye, that the Court of Russia has taken on itself to state and to pledge itself that, until the Ottoman Porte has gatistied the Court cf Russia with respect to the de- mands made against it, and until we have with@awn our ficets from the Turkish Waters, they will not abandon the possession of the Danubian principali- ties. | understand that a noble lord in avother place (Lord J. Russell) has stated that he does not put that mtepretation upon that document, but I have read the document with some atieution, and J cannot think it possible that any other interpretation can be mat upon it. (Hear, hear.) 1 wish to ask my noble Rien whether be concurs with me ia the interpre- = which | have put upon the document in ques- the Ra-sian |; e, ol Lord Cuarenpox—in reply to the first question of my noble aud learned friend, I believe that there are some differences betwen the Russian document jasued for home consumption (a dana for the use of the Russian pooris, (hear, lear,) and the tranala- tion which has been sent abroad, more particularly I believe with respect to the word “‘perfidious,” as ap- J to the violation of the Sulian’s word. I believe t there is a Russian original of this document at | the Foreign office, and, if it will be any satisfaction | to my uoble and learned friend to have that docr ment to peruse, (hear, hear,” from Lerd Lynd- mar) I certainly see no objection to laying it on your lordsbip’s table. I may also state that I en- y agree with my noble and learned frien mpon the great ability and skill of the note which the raul government issued in answer to the first cir- cular of Count Nesselrode. (Hear.) And with re- spect to the third question of my noble aud learned | friend, I believe that when my uoble friend (Lord J. | Bastell) answered the question put to him in the | House ef Commons yesterday, be bad not had an gpportunity of reading the note. I do not ent'rely | e the same view a8 my noble aud learned triend appears to do of what is stated in that note, but I | certainly can have no he-i‘ation in saying that we do not consider that the presence of the British and | French ficets in Besika Bay is at all similar, or that | can im avy way be compared to the occupation of | the Danubian principalities (cheers); and certainly no condition with respect to the departure of the one or the evacuation of the other will be made. (Hear, hear.) Lord Lyxpaurst—The expression I made use of, or rather the interpretation | put uponthe particular | passage, amounts to this—that as soon as the Ovto- | man Porte does what be (the Emperor of Russia) re- | quires, and as soon as the Euglish and French fleets | jait the Turkish waters, then he will withdraw from | e principalities. He does not absolutely say that | he will not withdraw sgoner, though it implies “ not sooner.’ The Earl of CLarenpon—I think the answer I ve my noble friend does exactly meet the question. e shall make no condition of that sert. (Hear, hear.) Kar! Frrzwit1amM—lI beg to observe that the ex- | penn is a great deal stronger than my noble and | learned friend stated. The expression is not only “in the Turkish waters,” but “ within sight of the | eaystal,” which, I apprehend, is an expression bear- | ing a very different meaning from “the Turkish | waters.” The phrase “the Turkish waters,” as awed in the circular, must mean what we call the jean cea, and ‘ within aight of the Turkish capi- | tal” must mean the Sea of Marmora. The English | and Freach governments are also charged with hav- ing cent their fleets into the Suitan’s dominions. [ ‘nk that everything passing in the east of Europe | must cause considerable anxiety at the preseat mo- | ment, and I trust my noble friend the Secretary | of State for Foreign Affairs will forgive me if T request his attention while I put a question to | him upen a subject lately mentioned in the public | prints, and upon which it is desirable to know if the government have received information. It is not for the purpose of gratitying an idle or individual cu- | Tiosity that ask the question, but because it isa matter of deep public importance to know whether the re- a question hds any toundation in fact, and whe- r the government have received any information on the subject. Tbe romorto which | allude refers | to the alleged passage of the Austrian troops into | the Turkish province of Bosnia. [ am desirous knowing whether my noble friend has ved any | information confirmatory of, or denying that state- | ment, which bas been confidentiy made in the pub- | Sie prints, and which purports to come from the —e of the Austrian dominions? | Lyypuvrst—Before my noble friend an- | swers the question, I must be allowed to apologize | for not having been strong enough in the represen- | tation of the particular passage to which my noble | friend (Earl Fitzwilliam) has adverted. But my no- | ble ‘riend has fallen into the same error, and has fallen short of the meaning of the Russian circular. The words are to the effect that, ‘‘as soon as the | Britieh fieet shall remove from within sight of the | ity of Constantinople we will retire.’ | he Earl of Crarenpon—I think my noble friends have used expressions which wre both of | them stfliciently strong, but, as both have quoted from a statement which is manifestly incorrect, it | an be of little impertance how strong these ass tions are. The English and the Freuch fleets ere neither in the Turkish waters, nor are they within | sight of Constantinople (hear, hear); and, although that may be ascerted in the Russian note, there is certainly no reason for taking precautions on that subject. With respect to the question of my noble friend (Ear! Fitzwilliam), if he had been in the house yestereay when the same question was asked, he ‘would bave heard the only information I am able to to him. I believe that this report has, like many others, arisen from the electric telegraph, which, as | took an opportunity of stating some time = now transacta, not very correctly, a great por- of the diplomatie business ef Europe. (A laugh.) I have no reason to believe that the Aus- twian troops have crossed the frontier and entered Bosnia, but the contrary. My latest dates from the Hogiish Minister at Vienna, which are to the 7th inet., make no mention of it. I have also communi- cated with the Austrian Minister in this country, who entirely disbelieves the report. He says he « thinks it may have arisen from some of the Austrian troops having been sent to their own fortress of Peterwardein, which is about eighty miles from the territory of Turkey. The conversation then dropped. In the House of Commous, upon July 12, Mr. Diszacxi wished to put two questions to the noble lord, the member for the city of London, with respect to the present state of affairs in the East. The first re- fered to a document which had reached this metropolis that day,and which bore the title of a circular d h addrested to the diplomatic agents of the of St. Petersburg, and was signed by Count Ne: rode. It was stated in that despatch that the o pation of the principalities by a Russian force had occasioned as much by the naval occupation of the Turkish waters by the combined fleets of Eng- Jand and France, as hy the refural of the Sultan to ve the satisfaction which the Emperor of Rassia had anded ; and it stated that be would not retire from the principalities until complete satisfaction was accorded to him by the Sultan, and until the com- bined fleets of England and France should have le‘t the ports of the Sultan which they at present occ: pled He (Mr. D'Israeli) wished to know from the | noble lord whether a ee of that circular despatch | had been presented to Her he 8 government? and, if not, he wished to knew whether it was the opinion of Her Majesty's government that that was an authentic document? Lord J. Russe.. was understood to state, in reply, that the last atch which he had seen frota St. | Peterburg from Sir H. Seyroour said, that he had not then seen the despatch which it was said was al- lowed to have been written by Count Nesselrode. However, he, Lord J. Wuaseil, had no doubt that, substantially, the circular despatch which had been blished in the public journals was an authentic ment. He should not enter into the partieulara to which the right honorable gentleman had adverted; ‘but he did not think, in the first place, that the Rus- sian government could in any way substantiate the fact that the eutry of the Ruasian troops into the principalities was caused by the sailing of the Bug- h fleet to the Turkish waters; nor did he wader stand from his reading that there was any declara- tion that matterg could uot be arranged between Rossia and Turkey unless the Mnglish fieet left the Tarkirh waters. Mr. Disrasii also inquired whether Her Majes- ty’s government had received information of the = of Bosnia by the army Emperor of Aus- d J. Rossen replied in the negative. Her Ma- government had not received any information nature; and, indeed, the Austrian Minister had communicated to Lord Clarendon liis total dishe- of any such fact. He said he believed the report | owing to the occupation of Peterwardein, which within the Austrian territory. fame subject engaged the attention of the Lords, upon the same night, thas :—The ALMESBUBY—Sceing the noble earl ( Aber- his place, I rise to pnt a question, of which have not given notice, whether he has reecived any of the occupation by Austrian troops of Bos- ithe hari i KoenomnsNo‘nformeliog ot EERDREN—NO: that Ikind has been received.

But I wish to ask the noble earl whether he bas received either now or oa any former eccasion, any intimation from the Austria ainbass at this Court, suggesting the possibility of such event, and stating any grounds on which it conld be justified ? ‘The Kuri of AngRpERN—I have rectived no sach intimation at any time or on any occasion. | have seen it quoted in various newspapers ; but my noble friend the Secretary of State las not received any such information. POSITION OF THE COMBINED FLEETS OF ENGLAND AND FRANCE. We have received, via Malta, intelligence from Besika Bay w the 36th June, up to which date the two fleets remained at that anchorage, exchanging visits, salutes, dinuers and toasts, The utmost cor- diality prevailed, from the highest grade to the low- est. "No Jess than six aduirals flags were flying at one and the same time. ‘To reinfosce the first French squadron under Vice- Admiral Baron de la Suase, aud the second under Rear-Admiral Jacquinot, the Gomer, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Romain Desfosres, arrived from Smyrna ou the \sth of June, with the ptal, Heron, and Narval steamers, by which arrivals the French force is raised considera- bly beyond that of Great in, not only in pum- ber, but likewise in armament; and the uncivilised Turk, who looks more to quantity than quality, is alrea ‘Sale iee to the qaetnaite of England, un- favorable inferences as to the comparative resources of these two great powers, in which, for many con- siderations, the governmeut would do well to set him right by ordering a few more ships to the East, so as to wake the British force, if not superior, at least equal in vessels and guns to that of France, which country bas certainly sent for this service her finest ships and most distinguished officers. nthe 20th of Juve, in honor of the Queen of England's accession tothe throne, Admiral Dundas entertained at dinner the three French admirals, | with their respective staffs, and the whole of the captains, as well of the French aa of the British feet. Of course the healths of Queen Victoria and of Napoleon ili. were drunk with three times three and one cheer more, under royal salutes from the Albion and Rodney, the report of whose guns boomed over the now quiet plains of Troy. Adwiral de Ja Busse, in acknowledg ing the compliment paid tothe Emperor, expressed his gratification in wit- nessing the prevailing cordiality, in a very neat speech, which be wound up by proposing the health ot Admiral Dundas and the officers of the British adron. ‘This was responded to by the British admiral’s drinking the health of Admiral de la Susse and the officers of the French fleet, declaring that incalevlable good conld not but result to the entire world frem the union of two powers, whose combined fexces he might, without risk of being accused of vanity or boasting, pronounce irresistible, let whatever power, or even all the other powers to- gether, attempt to battle with them. This speech was received with deafening shouts of Gaur, and, indeed, the noise made almost equalled that of the salutes previously fired. Many other toasts were drunk, and the party did rot break up until nearly ten o'clock. The French Admiral subsequently entertained Admiral Dundas and most of the cap- tains of the English squadron at dinner, when the like toasts were exchanyed. On the 1$th, three large cargoes of coals arrived from Malta, after a remarkably quick passage, which will enable the steamers to go ahead, full steam, with the liners in tow, should necessity call for more ac- tive interference on the part of the allies. The Re- tribution ha led up fucl at Constantinople, where very hi, prices were demanded in conse- quence of the shortness of stocks. 7 On the 23d, the Sharki steam frigate, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Raouf Pacha, and the Feiai Babri steam-frigate, bearing the flag of Rear-Ad- miral Mahomed Pacha, arrived at Besika Bay, to deliver complimentary messages from the Grand Signior to the commanders-in-chicf and principal officers of the two fleets. One saluted the English, the other the French flag, wh was followed by an exchange of salutes. The Turkish admiral de- puted to wait upon Admiral Dundas was very par: ticular in Ingniring whether all the captains of the British force present were in attendance to hear his message—for such were his sovereign’s commands. The Sharki proceeded to Rhodes, to bring up troops for the capital; and the Feizi Babri to Smyrna, whence she returned on the 26th with a full caryo. On the 2Ist, the French mail steam packet Egyptus passed up the Dardanelles, conveying a deckfall of soldiers from Smyrna; and indeed Ottoman steamers of war are continually running out of the Darda- nelles to various points of the empire, returning crowded with troops. A demand of 60,000 men from the province of Smyrna alone, has been an- swered by a spontaneous enlistment of 80,000. The Minos, Tunesine steam vessel, despatched by the Pacha of this regency, with General Mehmed Ali, | with an offer of military and naval reinforcements to the Sultan, arrived from Constantinople at Malta, en route for Tunis, on the 30th June. The Sanspa- riel, screw line of battle ship, left Malta on the 2ith to join Admiral Dundas; and on the 25th, the Fried- land, French three-decker, passed Malta for the same destination. GENERAL EUROPEAN NEWS. The Fatal Riots In Smyrna, THE CONDUCT OF THE CAPTAIN OF THE UNITED STATES FRIGATE ST, LOCIS. (From the London Times, July i1 j The Smyrna corresyondent of the Sémaphore, of Marveilles, in a letter dated the 28th ultimo, gives the following account of the disturbance which was men- tioned in a telegraphic despatch:— On Wednesday last M. Vekbecker, Austrian Con- | sul General, informed the Sardinian consul that a thief was concealéd ina Sardinian house, and de- manded an authorization to search it. The request was granted, and in the afternoon ten Greek boat- men, all known to be assassins, entered the house by force, and there seized, not a pretended robber, but M. Costa, a Hnngarian, aid-de-camp of Kossuth, and who had just returned from the United States. Not being able to oppose any resistance to the sherri, ex- cited by the reward of three thousand piastres which had been promized to them, M. Costa was gagged and handenffed, and pushed into a boat in such a bretal manner that he fell overboard, and was with great difficulty saved. He was then conveyed on board an Austrian brig-of-war called the Hus- sar, which had arrived on that day, where he was thrown into the hold and put in irons. This act of barbarity, which, uuafortunately has been often repeated of lute years, committe: ‘inst the ag: law of nations, roused the indignation of the European population, and the emigrants in particular, finding themselves no longer safe, uttered cries of vengeance. Ali Pasha and the cousws warmly offered their good offices in order that the prisoner should be handed over to the local authorities, but the Austrian consul would not listen tothem. Ou the following day the American frigate St. Louis entered the port, and the captain was informed by the consul of his nation that a refugee, who he thought had a right to the protec- tion of the United States, was detained on bourd the brig. The captain and the consul immediately went on board of her, bu’ be knew nothing of such o man, and that, in fact, no prisoner was on board. These gentlemen then pro- ceeded to the Austrian consulate, where, after a scene of the most violent kind, they obtained from M. Vekbecker an avowal that M. Costa was on board, aad that they might interrogate him. On returning tothe Husear the American captain said to Commandant Schwertz, “When I came on board a short time since your heutenant lied to my face. The meanest of my tabin boys would not have been guilty of such cow- asdice. Where is the prisoner? I wish to see him.” sitated, the American “Dear in mind that if the prisoner captain adder | claims my protection, and has the slightest right to it, I will remove him myself, und not allow him to re- wain another minute on boird.”, Unfortanately, the generous efforts of the American captain were use- less. The prisoner prevaricated and betrayed himself so much in his replics that he did not give his defend- ers the slightest chance ot raving him. As soon as this result was Known on shore the emgigeants rose in revolt, In the afternoon an attempt was made to a+ saesinate the officers of the fiigate, who were lackily warned in time to escape the stilettoes which were already reieed against them. Everything leads to a fear of @tragical issue to the affuir. It was known that the Italians had formed a project to atteck the Austrian consulate, to set fire to it, and to kill the consul, unless Costa was set at liberty. The Tarkish emg not show themselves. The consul armod his household, and the emigrants did not conceal their intentions, In the evening about 200 emi- prants assembled round en English coffeehouse, where three Austrian midshipmen were seated. The owner of the house recommended them to leave, but ne aooner had they got outside than they were attacked with a cry of “Death to the trai- tors!” One of them was fortunate enough to eseape unhurt in the seaffe, another wes kno@ked down by 9 blow on the bead from a heavy stick, and the thir when pierced with dazgers, hid strength enuagh to theow himeelf into the sea, whence hia body was taken out on the following day, and he was interred. Tle was a fine yonng man, eighteen years of age, and the caly eon of a ficld-marshal Every one deplores thia wetim to Pr’ lar passions, and blames the brutal conduct of M. Vekbecker. Vor the Jast four days ali the approaches fo his hotel have been garded by Austrian soldiers, ami no one is allowed to approads. Ali Pasha, the governor, hae euerze- tically protested against this despotism; he has sent one of his offieers to Constantinople with an account of the affair, amd the Austrian consnl ent off at the some time his account of it toM. de Brack. The refugees have eworn to aarassinate the ten Grecks employed by M. Vekbecker, and on their side the Creeks have sworn to kill ten Italians for every Greek that may be injured; and aa the latter are the most numerous it will h¢ casy for them to keep their word. No arrest has es le, th the assaseing are well known, It i¢ said that the fiatian refngeees are about to be expelled. That would be he person in comumud said that | jee; but onght not ahs mischief ?

This vessel will have her cut-fit completed here to go afterwards to the next regatta at Cowes The Mayflower came over with &@ provisional masting ; the larger masts which she is to receive, arrived by the packet Samuel M.

Admiral, has just pub- lished the result of its labors since 1850, in the last numbers of the Jnvaliden. The work is entitled the “New Naval Regulations,” and is an adaptation of the formner regulutions to present necessities. The Russian Baltic fleet, which consists of three squad- rone, is at prevent stationed, the white sanadron in the Baltic, the red near Cronstadt, and the blue ia Cronstadt, where the war steamers also are. ‘the portion of the Petersburg and Warsaw rail- road from bere to the Imperial Palace of Guatzschina (forty-nine werats) is to be ready for traffic by Octo- ber next, aud its continnation to Dunaburg carried on with vigor. A branch from there to Riga has been undertaken by a private company in that port, under a guarantee of four per cent fram the govern- ment. On the 27th and 28th of June there was a saiting match of the Linperial Yacht Club of St. Peters- borg, from the roads at Cronstadt, round the island of Nerva, and back to the roads. The winning ves- sel sailed the distance, one hundred and six ltalian miles, in fifteen hours nine minutes. On the follow- ing day Mr. Vanderbilt left there in his yacht North Star for Havre. on The drought in Finland has ee @ prejadicial effect on the crops, whilst, on the contrary, the Govern nents of Twer, Jaroslaw, Wladimer, and Kostrowa, and the country adjacent to the Wolga, promise well. Prussia. The Russian war steamer Gremidstchy, which brought the Grand Duchess Katharine and Duke George, of Mecklenburg Strelitz, to Wismar last Sunday, has, on its return, taken to St. Petersburg the Grand Duke of Oldenburg. This visit of the Grand Dukes to the Emperor of Russia is suspected to have for its object au arrangement for withdraw- ing the Oldenburg protest against the esau ts tocol on the subject of the Danish succession. This bere suspicion has sufficed to raise considerable in- dignation here among these who look forward with apprehension to the possibility of the Danish throne within one or two generations escheating to the Rus- sian Emperor. Ireland. LHE POTATO CROP. The Dublin correspondent of the London Times, writing under daté of July 12th, says :—Tuere are reports from Monaghan, Derry, Galway, aud one or two other localities of the reappearance of the fatal blight of 1846. These statements, however, shoule received with great caution, sit is.core than probable that they are, if not ented for an obvious purpose, at least premature. It ia a full month too soon for the ‘‘forestallers”’ to commence their wretched trade upon a prospective season of scarcity. Harkets, ANTHONY, DORR & CO.’S CIRCULAR. Loxpox, July 12, 1883.

Prevalence of Yellow Fever at Jamaica—Importance of Bermuda to American Whalemen, c. ‘The latest accounts received hero from Jamaica mention the prevalence of yellow fever there among the navy. The clerk and several men of the Imaum had died, and five or six deaths were occurring on board daily. Fortunately, she was the only vessel of war in port at the time; but this would not long re- main the case, as the steamer Buzzard left Havana onthe 20th of June for Jamaica, and the brig Es- piegte left Halifax on the 8th of June, for the same destination. There is strong reason to fear that later accounts will inform us of many deaths from fever on board these vessels. The whaling ship Sylph leaves during the week. The captain expresses himself highly pleased with Bermuda, which, I suppose, bas induced him to pro- long his stay here. We have had a number of whaling vessels viziling ovr islands lately; and as Bermuda will by this means become much better known, we may expect to be visited by a much greater number next year. It is very convenient for vessels to call if the south side of these islands, ich they may do with great safety, to very close es pity with the land, when they will be boarded by pilot or other boata, which will supply them with veyetables, and other provisions and stores that they may require; or, in case of their having a quantity | of oil, they ae take a pilot and run into port, and ship itto the United States. Vessels may at all times be found here ready to convey it. There is an other advantage that whaling vessels have in visit- ing Bermuda; the r officers and crew are thus ena- bled to communicate speedily with their friends in ener for which place vessels are leaving almost weckly. Since the establishment of a very excellent light- house at Bermuda, there is not that liability of vos- sels heing cast ashore here that there was formerly. This light may be seen at a distance of from thirty to forty miles. The ree’s extend out a considerable distance from the land, to the north and west, and a great distance to the southwest there is whatis called the Southwest Breaker, which will have to be avoided To the southward of the islands there are no reefs, and vessels are enabled to come in close to the land. Trouble Among eaeiemela at the Sing Sing ison. {From the Putnam County Courier, July 23.) Considerable excitement, it seems, has existed with regard to certain charges alleged against Mrs. A.M. Dodge, the Matron of the Female Prison, by Dr. F. Hasbrouck, its physician. The matron was charged with ‘cruelty, inhumanity, and malevo- lence to the prisoners, and starving them to sucha degree as to cause them to attempt suicide with a view to escape from her cruelties.” She indignantly denied these charges, and demanded an investiga- tion before the Inspectors; and at the same time preferred charges against the doctor affecting his official conduct at the dead room. _ Lhe doctor, before the sonclusion of the investiga- tion against the matron, abandoned his charges, and she was reinstated as matron by the Board. She had been suspended six days previous to its meeting by Gen. Storms. During the investigation against the doctor, the proofs became so plenty and convincing, that he was advised to abandon his defence and resign, which he accordingly did. Such has been the result of false accusations again t @ female in an official capacity. Let all others heed the lesson farifished by this case, and know well their proofs before they venture the daa- gerous experiment of attacking innocence ia the form of woman. ATTEMPTED SviCIDE BY A FEMALE.—Yesterday af- ternoon Mrs. Elizabeth Cowel!, apparently about forty years of age, attempted to commit suicide by jamping | off the dock into the river near the Bath ferry apa . She was rescued by a hand on board the ferry oak, who leaped into the river and kept her up until a boat was brought to his assistance. When she was laced on terra firma, she regretted that her life had been saved—that she was tired of life. She was then taken to the police office, where was elicited from her the following:—She says that her name is Elizabeth Cowell, and that she former y resided in | Cincinnati; was married, but has not for some time | resided with her husband, and that for some time | previous to her coming here she was engaged in the | dress-making business. Her object in coming hither | was to fing her two sons, who reside in this part of the State. In mind she is evidently deranged. For | a week or two she has been boarding in a private | family in Broadway. A week ago last Sunday even- | ing we met her at the Second district station house | very much dejected in spirits, and apparently labor- | ing under the effects of some aerate. She then fated that she came up in the boat that mornin, from New York, in company with some friends; that she was taken to a hotel by a hack driver; that she remained there all day; that just before tea time she left it for the purpose of putting a letter into the et! office; that she could not teil the name of the ose or in what part of the city it was located; that she was anxious to find it because she had left a carpet bag there, in which there was some jewelry money and clothing. Previous to leaving the house, however, she got a teacup for the purpose of get- ting some medicines. Captain McDuffie directed two of the policemen to accompany her to the vari- ous hotels in the vicinity of the post office, but with- ovt uecess. The officers then took the cup to others that had not previously been visited, for the pur- pore, if possible, of penta her bag, but this also | proved unsuccessful. She was finally taken to Stanwix Hall, and the next day one of the police ofiicers met her in the street with the carpet bag in hand. From that period up to the present she has becn in this city, but has kept secluded. She was on Sunday very anxious to go to Schenectady for the purpose of meeting her friends, but from her own statement made yesterday she did not go. She is neatly clad, and bas evidently been in good cir- eumstances.—AlLany Journal, July 22. DeaTnpen RereNntance AND RECOVERY OF STOLEN Prorexry.—Some weeks since, our reader: member, a large quantity of silk goods, principally fringes, were stolen from the silk fringe establish- ment of Hambo, en the corner of Vine and Sixth streets, which was burglarionsly entered. Two or three men were arrested on suspicion and dis- charged for want of testimony. A few days ago Marshal Ruffin received a letter purporting to written by one of the burglars on his deathbed, who wished to eage his conscience of the crime. It stated that the stolen goods were concealed in two barrels on a wharf boat at Louisville. The marsha! thonght the letter a hoax, yet there was an air of sincerity about it, and be directed the spot where the barrels were located in the statement to be examined. His directions were followed, the goods found, and they arrived in this city ie the mail boat night before last, in good condition. The recovered property is valued at $2,500.—Gincinnati Commercial, July 21. ‘Tue New York Nationan Gkays ww Bovrato— CaLi on Ex-Parrsipent Fittmore.—The New York National Grays, accompanied by Dodworth’s unrivalled band, paraded last eyening at 7 o'clock, and marched through a portion ef our principal streeta, Marching up Franklin étreet, the company halted in front of the residence of Ex-President Fillmore, where the band ployed veveral beautiful airs. Subsequently the company and band visited the theatre. This morning they proceed to the Falls to spend the day, and to morrow morning return to New York. Our citizens have been delighted with the music which hes been performed daring their stay in this city. In the way of military music we have had nothing com- parable to it. The choicest gems from the opera ave been given with the perfection and finish of the finest orchestra, and they have been listened to with unmixed pleasure.

By a vote of the Beard, committees were appointed upon the subjects of instruction, discipline, police, administration, and fircal afiaire; who, alter having attended to the du- ties assigned them, reported to the Board, and their reports are herewith transmitted, ‘he examination of the cadets commenced on the 2d day of June. at 9 o'clock A. M., and continued until 2 o’elock P. M., and from 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock P.M., and during the same hours from day to day, Sundays excepted, till the 18th day of June, when it was eoncluded. ‘The examination was conducted in the presence of the Board of Visiters, chiefly by the profescors in the several departments, aided by their ‘assistants, and extended fe all the branches of in- struction through which the several classes had passed during the previous year. The mode of ex- ‘amination was emiaently thorough, and aren to test severely the scholarship of the cadeta. ith but few exceptions, we preleney to report that the test was borne with disting! success. At the Board there was but one opinion as to the great valve ot this institation to the American re- public. The conviction was clear in every mind hat by no other agency could military science be diffused, and skill in the art of war attained, so gen- erally and so successfully as by this. If war is still to be practised among the nations, and if we as @ ration have no guarantee of perpetual exemption from its calamities, then the cultivation of the art of war, even to the highest possible degree, ia entirely | eonsistent with the strongest claims of humanity. | Here knowledge becomes invested with the at- tiibute of mercy as well as power. The truly skilful general, who knows how to adapt the bert means to the end proposed, while he conquers, saves human life, and often saves but to conquer. The moral power oi this institution in its adapted- ness to secure to our Unioa internal season and preserve unbroken our pacific relations with foreign powers, can hardly be over-estimated. In the high- est and most comprehensive sense it is national in its character, representin, its members, every State in our growing couiederacy, ond proffering its bigh privileges to int ic merit, regardless of the facti- tious distinctions incident to almost Git! form of human society. No sectional or social jealousies can | here be awukened. The cadets are all the sons of the republic, and learn to regard with filial affection | every part of itas their common country, At the | yery commencement ot their cadetship, under the solemn sanctions of an appeal totheir Maker, they | sledge themselves to a lifeof fidelity to the American Aratee 3 and through the whole period of their train- ing, they are brought under influences admirably fitted to cherish and strengthen within them a pa- triotism as broad in its scope and lofty in its aims as was the spirit which animated the immortal founders of this priceless confederacy. | Atthe same time, by the efficient maintenance of | this institution, foreign powers are admonished that | while it shall ever be our aim to render exact justice | to them, we have both the disposition and the ability ; to maintain and defend our rights and honor asa | pation. History abundantly proves that an adequate | state of national defence is the surest guarantee for | the continuance of national peace; and events in our own history, fresh in every mind, show that we have | no arm of defence on which we may rely with higher | confidence than the skill and bravery of the. sons of | West Point. | Morcover, if it is impartant to the perpetuity of | our popular (fests of government that useful know- | ledge should be generally diffused among the people, what agents can be found more efficient in the ac- | complishment of this end than the well-disciplined and highly accomplished graduates of this institu- tion—scattered as they are through every State of | our Union—uniting theory with practice—illustrating | the practical value of science—enlarging its bounda- | riee—multiplying the sources of human happiness, | and augmenting man’s dominion over nature ? | We all agree in sentiments of profound respect for | the learning and high character, the wisdom’ and | discretion, of the officers at the head of the instita- | tion, composing the academic board. We were | strongly impressed with the high physical, intellec- | tual aud moral bearing of the cadets, and the evi- | dence exhibited at their examination of their close | attention to study and their disposition and ability to learn. We are of the opinion that important improve- | mente should be made in some of the present build- ings, and that several new ones should be erected. | We are entirely united in the conviction that nothing | should be left undone necessary to place the institu- | tion in the highest state of efficiency; and that the present is the time to aaa the object, while we have at the head of the War Department an offi- | cer who knows how to appreciate its value, from its | effects upon the welfare of the country, in war as well as in peace. ‘ Ist. The revised regulations for the United States | nie! Academy require that instruction shall be ; given in cavalry tactics. ‘To carry out this require- | ment, we are all of us entirely satisfied that a new building should be erected without delay. A decent | regard for safety to the lives and limbs of the cadets | require this, as well as their successful progress in this branch of instruction. It is the opinion of the | superintendent, that the course of equitation cannot be properly taught without it, and that the room now used for the purpose is extremely dangerous to the lives and limbs of the cadets. | It is estimated that, in addition to the amount | appropriated, ($2,000,) the sum of $21,197 will be | required for this object. d. The cadets hospital should be enlarged and | improved. A brick front should be built extending | tothe centre, flush with the front of the wings, to connect wards with the additional space so formed by cutting the eee windows into doors; also, two projections in the rear, equal in width to the north | south wards, which shall contain the staircases, water clogeta, and bath rooms; the whole to be raised one story (ten feet) in addition to the present height of the building. ‘To accomplish this will require an | appropriation of $6,500. 3d. Quarters for sixteen officers and two families | should be constructed, in the form of a brick build- ing of two stories, with a basement with two wings, (one for each family.) It is estimated that it will re- quire about $28,000 to accomplish this object. | 4th. Suitable additions may be made to the quar- | ters of the professors by an appropriation, in addi- tion to the amount already appropriated ($3,000) of $5,061 35. 6th. Suitable stables may be erected by an appro- priation, in addition to the amount already appropri- ated ($8,600) of $7,491. 6th. We are of the opinion that the number of the cadets should be increased, so as to correspond with the number of Senators of the United States, by ad- ding two from each State, and that the recommenda- tions of Senators in each State should have great weight in selecting adeta from their respective States to make up this increased number. 7th. We are of the opinion that great care should be taken in the selection of cadets—that is, to bow made from among those who have the highest quali- fications, physical, intellectual and moral. Sth. That the period of instruction should be ex- | tended to five years. This may be accomplished without any additional expense to the nation, and with great advantage to the cadets. They should be quatitied to take and hold with honor to themseives hest positions in civil’as well as military the ii oth. We are of the opinion that the decisions of the academic beard, as to the capacity and conduct of the cadets, and their qualifications to be admitted and continue in the academy, should be considered as final and conclusive. 10th. We are all of the opinion that the pay of the cadets should Le increased, making it at least $28 20 per month, and a very large majority of the board are of the opinion that it should be increased to $30 per month, ith. We concvr in the recommendations made by the board of visiters last year, that the pay of the svperintendent shoud not be less than $5,000; that the pay of instructors of French aud drawing should be made equal to that of the ne in other de- partments; that the principal instructors in practical engineering, and of artillery, &. ould be allowed the same compentation as other principal professors; thet the first assistant inetructor of drawing and French should be allowed the same pay as the first assistants in all the other departments: that all the secondary instructors and teachers taken from the army should be allowed $10 per maonth extra pay; and that the fencing master, who now instructs two classes, should be allowed the pay of #900 per annum. 12th. If the period of instruction should be ex- tended to five years we are of opinion that the study of elocution, writing, Englich compostion, history, and the evidences of Christianity, should make a je of the course to be arranged by the Academic 2d, and that the study of rhetoric should be post- porcad tothe second year. For additional faets and arguments in favor of the measures we recommend we refer to the reports of the several committees above named. ith. We concnr in the recommendation espe- cially of the Committee on Instruction, that an ap- propriation of $5,000 should be made for the pai of establishing at this ta museum of artillery, and for the reasons by them stated.

[From the Newton Herald, July 23} We have never been called upon to reeord more disastrous effects of a hailstorm than that whicb occurred on Saturday lust, which passed over por-” tions of Franktort, Lafayette, and ees townships, a few miles north of this village. e cloud passed. from west to east, ard fora distance of ten miles long by nearly two miles wide, the most disastrous and desolating effect marked its track. Property, crops, fruit, &c., have been destroyed, scarcely less in value than $100,000, and possibly the damage sus- tained may greatly exceed this sum. _ Its effects may be judged when we say that the entire corn crops, cat crops, hay and potatoe ficlis, are completely destroyed, for the entire distance, commencing at Mr. Thomas Strubles, near the Blue Ridge, and ex- tending through the Pleasant Valley, ie Ee Lafayette, and Germany,to the Franklin nei - hood. Thisembraces the finest farming regions in Suseex county, and many a farmer who but a few days since enjoyed the cheering prospect of teeming crops, in one short hour has seen his hopes blasted, his crops beaten into the earth, his cattle and horses maimed and wounded, and the most desolate ruir and devastation meeting his gaze upon every hand. Many farmers inform us that they have sustained damage exceeding $1,000 in the logs ef crops, be~ sides damage sustained by buildings, fences, &c., and the inconvenience many will be put toin winter- ing their stocks, from the loss of fodder and ppovin- der. The tempest throughout was most terrific, and ac- companied with hailstones and lumps of ice of enor- mous size, killing in many instances fowls and small animals instantly, aud not only breaking the glass out of the windows, but literally cracking to pieces the elate covered roofs of barns and houses, and beat- ing acd crushing the growing crops into the ground as if they had been pounded down with a sledge hammer. Children returning from school were knocked down by the pieces of ice that were hurled against them, others were badly bruised and black- ened, and the horses and cattle grazing in the fields were dreadfully bruised and lacerated. The work | of destruction commenced in the Myrtle Grove neighborhood, extending through the the Strubles, | Everitts, Pleasant Valley, and Bale Ville neigh- borhoods. ‘The buildings belonging to Mr. y Lewis, Peter Northrup, Esq., and the Messrs. Bale, at Bale Ville, were greatly damaged, besides thé heavy loss of their large summer crops—continuing | its course eastward through Washington, to within a short distance of Newton, to Mr. Abraham 's, who had 170 panes of glass Broken ont of his dwell- ing, and lost his entire fall crops. ex e same fate was shared by the farms belonging to A. Freeman, Gabriel Bross, Nathaniel Huston, Jaoob C. Snook, William Enulish, Jacob Hiles, John Baxter, John Snider, Hazlet Slater, William Arm- strong, James Ackerson, Aaron A. Ackerson, Mrs, Northrup, Charles Mackerly, William Snider, D. P, Case, and the furmers in Lafayette neighborhood generally. Two hundred and sixty-five panes of glass were destroyed in Lower yette church, and nearly the same number exposed to the gale in the Baptist church above Lafayette. Its course from that place was through the Ried and Ackerson neighborhood, entirely destroying in its route the crops on the farms belonging to Adam Simmons, Jacob Simmons, Peter G. Demarest, avid Jacob Maybee, Ebenezer Abers, Barret Hunt, 5 Houre, Edward J. Hunt, Edward Ackerson, Peter Washer, and a great number of others. The damage ~™ sustained by these farmers is scarcely less than $1,000 each, the destruction being so complete that. the cattle have been turned in to glean what ro- mains of the cro, , Tuly 22.)
