In our comments on the last advices which ennounced the fa'l of Sebastopol, it will be recoll.cted that we tieated the news of that event with the incredulity which the unreliable charactir of the sources through whica it was derived seemed to warrant, it now turns out that we were correct in the conclusion at which we arrived. | The re:nsps fiom the German counties ir, Pena- sylvevia on the questien of a proposed pro- bibitory liquor law, which was sutmitted to the people at the recentelection, exh bited so large | ® majority against the measure, that it was sup- posed the popular decision was unfavorable to an act like the Maine law. But further returns from the Northernand Western counties, where the population isnut @ German rigin, have quite turned the tables, The official majorities show an aggregate batance against the law of about three thousand votes, But in an aggre- cnnpee | of events, mi-at have p educed a sensation, | gare voie-of nearly four hundred thou and, a we will be prepared to receive it without any | majority either way, of three thousan | votes, amounts to no decision at all, aud the people of Pemnsylvavia may be said to be nearly equally div ded on the question of a prokibito- ry liquor law. Under such circumstances it muy ve doubted whether the Legislature re- cently elected, wil! feel disposed to carry out the views of the ultra temperance men,’ but may feel constrained to pass laws restricting licenses, aud otherwise to advpt judicious Sebastopol has not e.yet fallen into the hands of the allies, and although the more recent ac- coucts received through an official medium re- present its capture as imminent, it may, for all the reliance that we c:n place upon these measures for the suppression of the vice of in- temperance.

Wilmerding, Hoguet & Humbert, held a large special sale of embroideries, laces, and white holocausts of Russian victims, with which the. public mind here was so recently startled, may be regarded as one of the most stupendous, as it is one of the most effective, hoaxes of modera times. We fancied that Yankee ingenuity was not to be surpssse! in practical jokes, but our chefs d’auvres of Sir John Herschel’s diccoveries in the moon, and the apr.vul of the great Nas- sau balloon from Engiand, with its cargo of savans, come ten years ago, fade into insignifi- cance when compared with this brilliant feat of ‘uroy ean newsmongers. Emperors, diplo , ministers of State, and even those sceptical mortals, the conductors of the news paper pr 11 fell into the trap laid for them. Half Europe went crazy with joy, and the uni- versa) exultation found vent in public thanks. givings, municipal ovations, military salutes, and a vast expenditure of penny crackers. Even our own peaceful city was frightened from its propriety by the thunder of the French frigate Iphigenie, now lying in our harbor. But alas! to the mortilication and dismay of all thoze great personages—to the confusion and annoy- ence of those perspicaeious individuals whose pervs are in the pay of the coalition—to the newly revived t-rrors and doubts of the shop- keepers of England and the peace-loving bour- geoisie of Francc—and to the great glee of the urchins, who expect to fire their crackers over sgain—Sebastopol probably still maintains its reputation as teing one of the most impregna- ble foriresses in the world, As, however, to use a vulgar saying, there is never smoke without fire, it must be a consola- tion under all this disappoi.tm«nt and humilia- tion—for it is the nature of mai to feel small when he finds his credulity thus cruelly played upon—to reflect that, although ihe allies have not taken Sebastopol, they have made some way towards it. We believe there is no doubt—(al- though since the invention of the electric tele- gtapa it is not safe to attach faith to any thing)—that the battle of Alma has been fought, avd that the allies have established the basis of a peeps tet Robson sttaated avout nine miles in a direct Mme from Sebasto- pol, aud eleven to the east of Cape Chersonne- sus. How they got there, whether by sea or land, does not appear very clearly from Lord Stratford de Redcliffe’s despatch; but it is sup- pored that between the 20th and the 28th they successively forced «ll the strong- ly entrenched positions of the Rus sians on the Katcha, the Belbek and the Tchemais, which feeds the harbor of Szbas- topol. If these statements are correct they sre now masters of the whole open country between the Alma and the south coast, to the west of the position taken up by Prince Mens- chikoff. The Russian General has, it is said, been driven to the east of this line of opera: tions ; and his army, which before the battle of Alma was stated to consist of 50,000 men, is supposed now not to amount to more than 20,- 000, part of the force under bis command hay- ing been detached to strengthen the garrison of Sebastopol. He has taken up a position at Bokchi-Sarai, where he is awaiting reinforce- ments, the Russians having abandoned the fort of Anapa, the key of the Circassian coast, to march to his relief, whilst a body of 50,009 men under Gencrals Ostensacken and Luders is advancing with the ssme object from Odessa. Thus every thing promises a fierce and protract- ed contest in the Crimea, which even the fall of Sebastopol is not likely to bring to a proximate termination. As soon as the ice sets In in the Baltic it is said to be the intention of the Czar to withdraw northern portion of his territogies, in order to vigor than ever.

To those readers not well infermed on this subject, we may remark that Pennsylvania was mainly settled by four classes of people, representing different European races. The English settlers, principally Quakers, unéer William Penn, oc- cupied Philadelphia, Delaware, Ghester, and part of Bucks county, on itie Dela. ware, and this section has given a large aggregate mojority in favor of the probibitory liquor law; the counties settled by the Germans, pnd now occupied mainly by their descendants, such as Berks, Lancaster, Dauphin, Lehigh, Northampton, Schuylkill, M. ntgcmery, Adams, Franklin, Xe., have, in narly every instance, given heavy ma orities against the proposed law. Then come the counties on the northern line of the State—viz., Erie, Warren, Bradford, Susque- hanna, Tioga, &c., and including Luzerne and other counties in the valley ef Wyoming, all of which were principally settled by emigrants from New England, and generally democratic in their politics, This section gives heavy ma- jorities in favor of the prohibition of the sale of liquor. The region west of the Alleghany Mountains, which wes principally settled by people of Anglo-Saxon origin, particularly from Scotland, the North of Ireland and Wales, hag also given a heayy vote in favor of prohi- biticn of liquor sales. We see, therefore, that the only class 0° counties which has decided against a prohibitory law is that in which the people of German descent have the preponder- ance, and a ‘ew counties where the emigrants from Ireland and Germany, employed in the mines and in internal improvements,have turned More Bank Deratcations.—The discovery of a deficiency of $75,000 in the accounts of the teller of the Ocean Bavk has again thrown the community into a lively state of excitement, In the fact itself there is nothing strange or unusual. Defalcations are matters of every day occurrence in every commercial commu- ity, aud we do not know that anything is gained by exacting heavy security from those who have it in their power to. commit them; ‘or whenever a ca-hier or teller undertakes to reb bis employers, he always does it to an ex- tent far beyond his security. in Matkority to yun woos se ue BL men discourage energetically and perseveringly, every tendency towards extravagance or specu- lation in those under their control: to discharge young men who spend their whole salary in dress. or horses, and to shut their doors re- morselessly against operaters in Erie or Cumber- lend. If young men were “led out of tempta- tion” instead of being thrust into it by their employers, fewer defalcations or breaches of trust would take place, A Ruse on THE Part or Coat Deaters.—The Jate announcement that the coal mines of Penn- eylvania were about to be closed, because six dol- lors per ton on the wharves at Philadelphia does not pay a profit, looks very much like a trick on the part of coal dealers generally, to frighten the public into the Lelief that the price of coal will epeedily advance, and therefore that it will be economy to lay in a tull winter supply. The operators in Pennsylvania want money, and must have it, and the dealers in New York, New Jersey and the Eystern States have heavy payments to make on the first of November, all of which cannot be accomplished unless the public will purchase their winter stock. The trick is transparent. ALLEGED Munictpat Corrvption.—The case of Barr against Erben, which is now pending before Judge Daly, is likely to bring to light a world of interesting matter. Mr. Barr sues Mr. Erben for having accused him of corruption, and from the evidence adduced yesterday, it does seem as though nothing short of an action for libel could satisfy Mr. Barr’s conscience or his reputation. Of course Mr. Erben will be hound to justify what he said; and in the doing hereof, disclosures are likely to appear which will startle the city. We have no idea on which side the right lics; for aught we know Mr, Barr may have been slandered, or Mr. Erben may bave been justified. But we shall watch the case, and advise the public to do the same, Broapway News.—Among the lions visible in the great throng on Broadway yesterday after- noon, were Prince John Van Buren, fresh from Europe, and Senor Atocha, fresh from Mexico— the former satisfied that the war will last with Russia till here is a treaty with Tammany Hall, acd tue latter reporting that Santa Asn is oe “unl n w@me;"s morning” ine fs Broapway ‘i ines AvuprEeNok Dramrss: evening, at the biondwry thestre, the audience | i missed in consequence of & sudden hosrsones ren Mies Pyne unable to proceod in the opera.
