There if not much doubt but that the allied fleets are hammering away at Sebastopol, and old Charley Napier bas commenced work by destroying a fort at the entrance of the Gulf of Finland. From all accounts Napier has been to work cautiously and cunningly. In the first place he has taken care that no Russian ship of any description shall escape from the Baltic, whereby he has prevented the eastern coast of Scotland and the northeastern coast of England from being ravaged by Russian war ships. Ho bas next completely blocked up every Russian ship-of- war in its winter quarters, and he has now commenced destroying the forts in the gulf. The general impression appears to be, that Cronstadt and Sebastopol will be de- stroyed by piecemeal. All persons now believe that Dundas, the Black Sea Admiral, acted with mistaken Ie- niency in sparing Ovessa, for the Czar declares he gained a victory. Dundas, however, obeyed instructions by act- ing humanely, and there is reason to believe that orders to observe more severity have been sent out to him. ‘There have been statements that an English sixteen gun steamer, the Tiger, got aground at Odessa, and was cap- the extraordinary contradic- nts of the event, and the ted with respect to it, had The continental telegraph nee, owing to the false and blundering news it attributable, it is believed, to the roguery of the Russian and Austrian governments. Up to this period there is no sign of any of the North- ern Powers joining the Western ones. The latter have been disgracefully bamboozled in this matter. Two weeks ago the French Emperor solemnly announced that Aus- tria was with him. It has been anaounced by telegraph, and proved by argament, oyer and over again, that such ‘wor the fact; and lo! it now turns out that Austria dog- gedly refuses to prenounce, and stieks to her mysterious and worst of all neutralities, an armed neutrality. Encouragement is now about to be given to Schamyl, the Circassian chief, to resist Russia, but it fa feared that itis too lute. That renowned and glorious chieftain is . now old and worn out by his sublime resi ‘eat enemy of the world’s oe. Had Bi ance lent him a friendly hand years ago, it might have prevented the Czar’s insolent witempt on Turkey; but those powers looked on indifferently on Schamyl’s heroic struggles for liberty, until their own interests were im- mediately concerned Omer Pacha is almost broken hearted on the Danube, atthe dilatorincss of the Western allies. For moaths the Western Powers have been engaged in transporting afew thousand troops about 3,000 miles, with all the Doasted and wonderful appliances of steam. No wonder that many have whispered treachery and lukewarmness on the part of the Western Powers. There cannot be a doubt but that the delay has been caused by the British Ministers, rticularly by Aberdeen, their chief, hoping against hope, that tho Czar would give in an: that war would be unnecessary. Such a blunder has ‘oved Worse than a crime. First, the troops were sent Malta instead of direct to Turkey, then the commanl- ers of the forces delayed their departure from France and EFrgland.

It will not sail until July, and some of the ships will serve as trans- for the 6,000 men of the land army intended for the West Indies. A small portion of these troops will go in June, in two post office steamers, whose departure is fixed for the Ist and 12th of that month.

I think 4 mentioned the rumor at the time, but as the Lon- don Times is supposed not to reach Madrid, no reference is made to it. The report was to the effect that secret instructions had Captain-General of Coba not to carry out the decree relating to the registration of slaves, because it ‘would clash with the interests of certain influential = here. The persons referred to, but who not yet been named in print, were Seen Christina and her husband, bone whose muttifa- rious speculations the transport of “ cargoes of <0- ny” from the African coast to that of Caba is well known to have figured. The rumor with respect to the decree was very possibly unfounded, like many of the rumors daily circulated here, and many of which are worth ee only, because they indi- cate the public opinion of certain persons, and of what they are capable of doing. Itis to be hope: that this one is ‘itute of foundation, (since the registration of slaves is the part of the which tends crectly. to abolish the traffic in them,) but neither in this nor in any other case where the in- terests or reputation of its masters are concerned can the aseertions of the Spanish government Ga- zette be allowed to have the slightest weight.

Cazneau, TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. The Evening Post persists in grossly misrepre- senting the Dominican people, and even goes so far in its spirit of Haytien partisanship as to assert that Iadmit the material positions of its statement. I branded that article as “so malicious and contemp- tibly false that it could not possibly be written by a gentleman;” and if that is what the editor of the Post calls an admission of its truth, he is welcome to all the benefits. The Post has no authority for its assertions, and I most emphatically deny, so far as I am concerned, all knowledge, share or beliet in any “ administra- | tion intrigue” or movement for the acquisition of Dominica, Ido not desire the annexation of the Dominican republic, but its recognition as an act of polizy and justice. It has a right to expect from us such ac- knowledgment, intercourse and appreciation as will secure that promising young State its proper place in the American system. ‘ Jt is the duty of the United States government to carefully promote our commerce with all the repub- lican States on this continent, Our ships are ina position to do their carrying trade, and our manufacturers and provision growers to supply nearly all the requirements of the It is our interest to cherish the power, and general welfare of all these American States, for their wealth and strength contribute to our own. It is so much added to the aggregate of American force, in opposition to the resent and future pretensions of European ictation. This is the principle of the Ame- rican system, or it has none. In accordance with that principle, I have been urging upon my friends the propriety of giving to the Dominican republic the encouragement of a friendly recogni- tion, as long and as steadily as the Posi has opposed it in the service of the black Emperor laustin Sou- louque. ‘the only plan I have ever heard of, or advocated, in speaking with Mr. Calhoun, or any successor of | his in office, was, to strengthen our friendly relations | with all the Spanish American States, and to estab- | lish them where they did not exist, as in the case of | Dominica. It was only on this principle of Ameri- | can policy the recognition of Dominica was dis- cussed with Senators Rush, Douglas, Mason, James, | and many other distinguished members of both | houses of Congress, in my conversations with them; | and those gentlemen should be as pee authority with an enlightened people as the allies of Faustina. “We infer,” says the Post, coming at last to the real question, “that it is the intention of the Domi- nican party to claim that Dominica and Hayti are under the control of different races, and that it is the interest of the whites for which they are so much concerned.” This is precisely the issue—they are different races. —Dominica is Castilian in language and manners, with a democratic constitution; and, I repeat, a white government. I defy the Post to name.one | man, cither in the Cabinet, Congress, or the conven- | tion that has just adjourned, who has one drop of Africen blood in his veins. Hayti is an intolerant, irresponsible, stubborn negro despotism, without a language, though their tongue assimilates to the French. They are governed throughout by men of negro blood and negro ideas. In their wars, they are a3 | merciless enemies to quadroons as to whites, for they audaciously proclaim their intention to wholly | annibilate the white and mixed race on the island. This creed of extermination is the leading point in | those “rights of Hayti,” which the Post's editorials maintain in terms so remarkably like the official | bulletins of Soulouque. | The Dominican people, on the contrary, are brave, orderly, and progressive. ‘That they are not “ with- out character and courage,” is proved by the ma ner in which they have sustained themselves since the establishment of their independent government in 1844, They have been victorious’in every battle with the Haytiens, and always against great odds. At the battle of Las Carreras, austin had five thousand men, Santana less than six hundred; | yet the Dominicans bad the “character and cou- rage” to put him to flight, with the loss of several | pieces of artillery. His retreat across the frontier was characteristic of Haytien warfare; it was marked in blood and ashes, by the destruction of iran and the cruel slaughter of women and children. Haytien emissaries came among the colored Do- minicans last winter while I was in the country, to incite them to rise and murder the whites in the in- | terior districts. They were told that the Americans | were coming to make slaves of them—in the style | of the Post phillippics about the “extension of | slavery;” but the Dominican blacks were not igno- | rant enough to believe these monstrous absurdities. | Their prudence does not excuse, and should put to shame, an American journal in continually present- ing the case in a shape to alarm and excite the blacks into insurrection, while it defends the “ rights of Hayti” to make a general déstruction of the white race. The editor of the Post may not intend to advo- cate a d universal murder of the whites in the Spanish portion of the island; he prebably would not desire the burning alive of whole families, mer ly because they were white; but he must have learned, in his intercourse with the negro officials, that this is the Haytien mode; yet he censures Pre- sident Fillmore for wishing to prevent this horrid catastrophe. The colored population outnumbers the whites in Dominica—as it does in some of our Southern States —but it is ceable, contented, and obedient to the Jaws, which—as in Massachusetts and New York— | give them citizenship, and votes, under property qualification. I not only “pretend to believe,” but i ect atin as. sert, there is no African tinge in that brave soldier and patriotic statesman, President Santana. Don poe de Rojas, the President of the Dominican Senate, was educated in Louisiana, and Senator Bei in, of that State, can answer whether he did not look upon that accomplished gentleman as a “full-blooded white man.” The American Consul, or commercial agent, at Santo Domingo City, may inform the Post whether he considers his father-in- law, the dignified Don Domingo de la Rocha, 4 white man. He is the minister said to be now in charge of the government, while Santana heads the army. Baez was a quadroon, but he owed his | short-lived elevation to Buropean intrigues, which are always at work in the Antilles to elevate the | African, and barrass and subdue the white race. | He attempted, with their aid, to fraternise wit | Hayti, and was banished trom the country in eons quence. The editor of the Post propely. met some Li? | Baez party last winter, the select circles of the nobility, during his visit to the Haytien court, and obtained from them some of his extraordinary information in regard to Dominica; for example— | “that there are not two hundred and fifty whites, pis sailors and diplomats included,” in the re- ublic. i The editor of the Post informs his readers that he knew nothing about me six months a This is very natural, considering the difference in our tastes and associations; but there is no occasion for the rancorous violence he exhibits because I prefer the free government and intelligent white society of Dominica to the attractions of his Haytien circle. Neither had I ever heard of him until he made his congenial visit to Hayti; but I did not thereupon write home slanderous attacks upon his position and | motives, or offer dastardly insults to his Shope Men do not engage in work like this. My only business with him—through the press—is to expose those misrepresentations which are calculated to lead to the wholesale murder of the white race in the island of Santo Domingo.

The Press al- des in eloquent terms to the Cg he pares features, vast resources, and two great natural outlets of the Jake regione—the St. Lawrence and the Mississippi—- and then proceeds as follows: — Here, then, are the clements of empire of art,of wealth, of civilization, to an extent far beyond what any other portion of the world, old or new, can produce upon an equal area of its surface. And does any one doubt but that in due time the developement of all these will be effected? But the teeming millions that shall in the time to come inhabit around these hospitable coasta, like those who are dwellers upon them now, wil culti- vate commerce with no less assiduity than they will the industrial arts upon the shore. They must look, too, beyond the bounds of this continent for their customers. Nature has provided two highways to the ocean which connects the hemispheres. One alone would not be suf- ficient—for had it been northward it would not have been available in winter, and had it been southward the heat of the sun would spoil the products taken through it. But having one in each direction, wo are enabled to use them precisely in that order in which the temperature of the climate through which our commo- dities pass is best adapted to their preservation. Is there pi ot of deep and beneficent design in all these thing: The fact, however, that one of these outlets lies through a country not yet withir the confederacy of States, has thwarted to some extent this manifest provi- dential arrangement. And although the scope of our argument leads us to consider the wants of coming gene rativns rather than those of the present time, still we experience in somg degree the evils resulting from a subversion of an order of nature. Freedom of accoss to the ocean, through the St. Lawrence, is of more imme diate importance to the States which lie within the basin of the lakes, and, in fact, to several which lie beyond upon the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, than any other one matter connected with their material prosperity.

TO THE EDITOR OF THY QUERKC ODSERVER. Having seen an article in the Troy Daily Whig of the 25th of May, relative to the trial of Henrietta Robinson, wherein it is stated:— It may not be improper to say that the current b is—not to use a stronger term—that Mrs. Robinson, the prisoner, formerly (some twenty years azo) this city as a pupil at the seminary, that her maiden name was Wood, that her family was one of wealth, standing, and respectability, and resided somewhere Quebec; that while here she moved in the best social cles of our city, as did three sisters, who also attended the seminary at different times; that she subsequently married an’ army officer, in Canada, who died; that she then married a surgeon in the army, in the provinces, from whom she separated, and that she is now here the veiled prisoner at the bar; —Being a member of the only fami'y residiag in or near Quebec of the name answering to the above description, I feel myself impelled to deny that this Henrietta Robinson is in any way whatever con- nected with my family. I had four sisters pupils at Mrs. Willard’s Troy Seminary, all of whom are now residing in Great Britain. One of them married an officer of the British army, in Canada, and after his death married in Quebec Doctor Mackintosh, of the Royal Artillery, with whom she is now living at Assynt House, Evanton, Rosshire, Scotland.

More than ope thousand dollars have been paid for articles properly to be charged t> the building account.

The city charges $863 66 for water, and $271 53 for tax; and notwithstanding all the former movements of its Councils fn behaif of cheap bathing for the people, it in no way benefits this establiehment.

The brokers are always so anxious to learn by every arrival from Europe the price of consols, that one would think the moye- | | | ment of the stock tarlet here depended entirely | upon an advance or ue in the British fands; but latterly that induence sppears to have been greatly | reduced, At the Stock Ey change to-day the tendency of prices was downward, from the opening to the close Canton Company fell oif 34 per Cumberland, 14; New York Central Ratlroad, 34; Erie Railroad, 14; Road- ing Railroad, 4; Hudson River Railroad, 4%; Cleveland | and Toledo Railrond, 1{. Mining stocks have for some days past been much neglected. The sales made have been at lower prices, and it has been almost impossible | to find a market at any price for most of those on the | list. The market has been fairly flooded with stocks of | this class, and nearly every specalator has on hand lange lots of scrip, which is almost daily depreciating. There few exceptions,ani those are seklom offered ed to attract outsiders. Of the large ragua are in the most active demand, and appear to be well held, Both companios will soon declare a dividend of four to flve per ceat each, out of the net earnings. The bears will not, of courss, believe this, and they willsay that the capital in each cage will have been increased to the fall extent of tho | poyment. We are, however, assured by parties entitied to the highest confidence, that both the Nicaragua and ent; | Cumberland companies bave already in hand suflictent | fonds to pay the dividends named, anu that it will be di- | vided among the stockholders at an early day. panying the declaration of the dividend will be a sétting forth ina clear, concise manner, the op and financial condition of each company. We ha in our time, coal companies, as much depreseed and | abused as the Cumberland, advance from fifty and sixty | to one hundred and sixty per cent, during which the bears were as strong and as decided ia their assertions that it was utterly worthless, as they are now fa rel toCumberland. The result in the present case is like to be the same, and it is only a matter of time. All companies doing a large business, under proper manage. ment, cannot help making a great deal of money. There never was a time in the whole history of coal mining | in this country, when the raw material command- ed more remunerating prices than at the present, and if the business isnot profitable now it never will be, | The Delaware and Hudson Coal Company has just de- | clared a sem!-annual dividend of five per cent, notwith- standing the delay in the transportation of coal, caused by the great freshet, The Pennaylvania Coal Company has, for sometime past, paid semi-conual five per cent dividends, and immense private fortunes have been made in the production of coal. The Cumberland region is un- | commonly rich in deposits of the best qualities of biturni- | nous coal, the consumption of which is increasing sa | rapidly that existing facilities for furnishing it are inade- quate tothe demand. Prices have, therefore, advanced, | and {ere is now @ profit on every ton of coal brought to | tide water.

On comparing figures this season with last year, we find that the receipts of boards and seantling during the montix of May last year reached 50 7 feet, and the same month thi ason only 40,179,143, thus showing a falling: off in the receipts of 10,04 feet. There is not a sur~ plus of lumber to come forward, and those who have looked for it will be mistaken. It was currently reportet @ week ago that at some points along the Geneseo Valley Canal there was not a sufficient amount on the banks to load boats for the second time.
