Your memorialists are well aware of the numerous dif- culties which your Highness has to encounter from the opinion and prejudices of many classes of your subjects, iv giving effect to the pledge of religious liderty, so geae- rourly accorded by your Highness. But they feel con- #'rained to bring to your notice the fact that such perse- cutious sre much more frequent and vivlent, owing vo the indifference or actual connivance of provinclal oifi- c*rs, who seem to set your Highness’ firmaas and the ‘Tonaimat itself at nonght. Assured of your Highness’ gracious dispositions, we humbly entreat you to take effectual measures to prevent influential persons in the State from persecuting their poorer fellow citizens, and to make your office saveotally those in the provinces remote from the capital, respomsi- ble for the strict performance of their duty in all such cases. May it please your Highness— Your memorialiaists have heard with most painful feelings that your Highness’ Mahommedan aunjosts do not spare in the liberties guaranteed to the Christian, and thet even that inary law which so shocks the mo t sacred feelings ot Christian nations, by its inflicti m or death on Mahommedans who change their religious belief, is still practically in force. Your memorialists acknowledge with gratitude to Al- mighty God the value of the pledge given by your High- ness on March 21, 1844, but entertaining doubis as to its appiieation to the case of Mahommedans by bicth, res- pecttully and earnestly entreat your Highness to make it so comprehensive as to embrace all classes of your High- neew’ subjects, Musselman as well a# Christian, and tl liberty to adopt another profession of (aith be extended to all without fear of penal consequences, Signed by—Culling Kardley Kardley, Bart.; Count de St. George; Meilie, pastor at ‘Turin; Dr. Baird, Dr. Dut, Car} Bergman, Doctor of Medicine and Philosophy, pastor in Sweden; and Dr, F.

LOUIS—CHARGE OF PORGERY AND CONSPIRACY TO MURDER, (From the St. Louis Republican, Noy. 6.} The arrest of Willlam F. Morgan, the attorney, made night before last, on a charge of secreting and receiving atulen goods, created some suprise, which was greatly increased, aa the police followed up their inquiries and developed new prucfs, and suspicioas of till more hel- nous offences on the part of the prisoner. ‘One of there—a charge of forgery against Morgan—al- though founded upon the accusation of one Allen Potter, @ man now confined in the county jail for burglary and larceny—has evidence of the strougest character io sup- Port it: the discovery of the forged document itself, which Captain Manning found in Morgan’s office. From disclosures alread concerning this forgery, it ap- peara that Maria Bates, an old pegross living ‘ta Tenth street, between Market and Walaut, is owner ofa house eee she Con te gee Pca dollars. A deed, purporting to be from her to Morgan, conveying title th thin property, was forged last apring. The oe roner presen ed the deed for ‘acknowledgment to Mr, Schroeder, « notary public on Market street, near Se- cond, taking @ white woman with him to deceive the notary, by personating Maria Bates, Afver acknowledg- ment, two or three persons were called from the street, requested to sign as witnesses, and the deed was then tuken off and recorded. Another accusation by Potter is not so well supported, He alleges that the negro, some time after, having nego- tiations on foot for selling her property, Morgan was appreben.ive that the fraud would be brought t» light, and made overtures to employ him to murder her. After a conference or two upon the subject, he was premixed $150, and advised to use poison to accomplish the deed. Potter exhibited to Capt, Manning a strip of per, with the words “hydroeianle acid’ written upon it, which he says Morgan gave him as a direction what to_purchase. ‘hether this be true or not, it is certain that an attempt was made upon the negro’s life last summer— two men having entered her house at Aight, knocked her down, and run off, leaving her for dead on the joor. Before the Recorder - {erterday afternoon, three affi- davits were sworn to and filed against Morgan—two for receiving stolen goods, and another for the forgery of the deed; another alleging conspiracy to murder Maria Bates, will be made out this morning. An examination upon the first, for the robbery of a gold watch and $150 from the house of John ©. Ri json, Esq., was entered into. Yotter was sworn as a witness, and testified substantially that Morgan plotted the robbery tendays beforehand, aad when it was committed, received the watch as his share of the booty. The examination will be resumed this morn- ing. Messra. Blennerhasset and McBride sre counsel for the defendant. When the Court ujourned, Mayor Hing directed thet the ealaboose should be strictly watched and guarded all night, to prevent any of Morgan's friends or con- iederates giving him means of escape from custody. Sor Lirting Successrunty CARRIED, ON BY A SHKEWD CouPLE IN —TuwiR DETRCT.ON AND ARREST.— A daring and for a time a very successful game of plun- der from stores on Broadway, was committed yesterday by a male and female, strangers in our city, who a0 shrewdly as to avoid detection fora time. The part: were neatly dressed, and are said to be Germans. Towards noon Messrs, W. J. Fever & Co. represented to the police that their store had been robbed of $150 worth of silks, as they believed, by # man and woman, who had viait their place of bus but ® short tine previous. The police were directed to ‘ook sharp” for suspicious cha- racters, and gave a eneription of the parties suspected. While the poiice were on lookout, wo:d came to the station house from Mesare. Wilkes & Co., & Ven Gansbeek, and J. G. Cont, that thelr sores had ee rob- of a large amount ot ‘4, and as they suspect by a man and woman whom they described as bad Messrs, Freyer & Co. As may be supposed, the police were on the lookout to secure this coupie, and about 6 o'clock, special officer Brayton oversauled « couple, whom be a rested and took to the station house, where they gave the names of Oswald and Lina Eldan. The lady was no- ticeable for ber remarkable beauty and a degree of emian- print peculiar to temales only. Eldan at first offered any ‘amount of money to ‘settle the case ”” anxious, as he said, to get out of town and to avoid trouble of dela: ‘&e., though he stoutly protested his innocence. Thi were taken to the police court and the witnesses # moned, but neither gave any evidence of guilt, but on contraty challe the proof. A rocured Mrs. El¢an was taken into a side room and examiaed, the result of which was that her rather remarkable rotundit of figure was reduced to one of remar symmetry not positive leanness; and more remarkable all, no less than $500 worth of silkx were delivered into the hands of the proper owners, Mrs. Eldan, having with the aid of books attacked to her skirts and singularly contrived pockets, secreted that amount of property about her per- son. Upon searching Eldan, the eum of $200 in gold and $65 in bills was found. They were committed to jail Inst evening, and this morning further examination was had before Justice Parsons. A female clerk of the Misses Doffy waa called to the stand, who identified the party as being in the store yesterday, and identified » piece of alk of some thirteen’ or fourteen yards as having been etolen. ‘There was no mark upon it, but the pattern mas such n peculiar one as to be eaally detected. It ap- years that the pair put up at the house of Jacob Daur, and that last evening oflicer Keefe searched the room they occupied, where be found a trunk containing eight vieces of silk and some small articles; al4o a carpet Dag containing @ piece of silk, all of which were identitied as hovi ¢ taken from the stores of firma ative mentioned. In the trank there was found » conble-barrelied pistol, Joaded to the muzzle with powder and ball. He is represented as being a segar merchant (n New York, and very respectably connected.

Tv is as follows:— ConstantinorLe, Oct. 31, 1855. Smm—In accordance with my report of the 11th of Octo- ber, Lieutenant Porter and myself left this for Balaklava ‘the uext day, the 12th, in the British teusport seamor tne Imperador, and lended in tue Crimea on the 17th. Calling on Major Koss, the Deputy Quartermaster Ge: ralat Ba'skiava, and, further to the front, on G oe the commander of the British forces, we rec ed from these gentlemen kind welsome, aud every fucility for the prosecution of our duty was promptly aiforded to us. an introduction to I was further fortunate in receivi Murdo, in Log under the Quarterm: ster Geae- ral, General Kgre, of the land transport service in the Crimea, and who, as Quartermaster General to General ypier in the expedition agaiast Sinde, had used camels extensively for military pur, He gave me much in- teresting ‘Information in relation to the military use of the camel; and from General simpson also, who hid served in the same expedition under General Napier, we had aduitional accounts of the value of the animal, und of the favorable opinion entertalued of it by the army for the service {t was capable of rendering The ongage- mente of Colonel McMurdo were such that I evuld occupy but little of his time, and in consequence obtained fi him only a few material facts without going iato details, My thanks are due to him for the moments he devoted to me, cet tos he was with the many and various duties of ition. We fvund in the Crimea both the Bactrian two humped camel, and the Arabian, or one-hamped; but the latter slove seemed to be used for the purposes of military transportation, ‘The former were found in th Crimea at the commencement of the war; the latter were car- ried there since from Ania Minor. The former were but little thought of, the latter were highly esteemed, the ouly objections to them we heard of being the room they occupied ip the narrow streets, and thefr frightening the horses, The two are yery distinot species of the same genus, differing from each other as much, I should say, as the buffalo of our Western prairies does from the com: mon ox. Doubly humped, the Bactrian isa strongly built, powerful animal, standing not quite 4 high as the Avablan, of coarser and more suagyy coat, slower in mo- tion, but capable of carrying tmmense burdens. From the formation of its back (its two humps) there {4 a diifi- culty in adjusting to it a pack saddle; and without one there is always more or less pe-plexity in loading and 40- curing the load. This I rather think isthe principal source of objection to its use, though I believe the opinion advanced to as to be correct, that it is not as serviceable an animal as the Arabian. Its use in the Crimea before the war we un- derstand to be chiefly for draught, and on one occasion ‘we saw two yoked to a Tartar wagon, as oxen are, but guided by rope reins. The result of our examination determined us not te procure one, a4 it would only com- plicate our experiment, without producing such results fs we anticipate trom the Arabian stock, At some fu- ture day, should the camel become domesticated with ua, it may then be worth while to import « few males for croseing upon the Arabian females, as it is said ia done with acvantage in Persiu, the issue always taking after the mother—that is, being onehumped. Sketchos of the Bactrian camel were made by Mr. Heap, whic will convey very clear ideas of the animal, and of its differ- ence from (he Arabian. Col. McMurdo informed me that in the expedition against Sinde he had in his service about twonty-tive jourand gamels, and that from his experience he teemed them highly; so much #0, that had ween at Sinope three thousand of them, in addition to the few now in use in the Crimes, in readiness for the campaign next spring. Tho loads they will carry depend much, he said, upon the service in which they are employed—ra- id movemen‘s naturally requiring Nght burdens—but ir average loads, under fayorable circumstances he stated to be about six hundred pounds. and these they will carry easily, without pushing, twenty-five to thirty miler aday. He mentioned the interesting fact, which 1 do not remember to have heard before, that during the expedition against Sinde General Napier organized » mont efficient corps of one thousand men, mounted upon five hundred dromedaries—two men to each dromedary —the men sitting back to bask, ore facing the head, the other the tail, and both armed with rifles and sabres, the man facing the head was the animal’s groom and driver, and one manner of using the corps was as fol- lows: upon arriving at the scene of operations the drome- Garies were made to kneel in square, under charge of their five hundred drivers, forming as it were » base of operations from which the other five hundred operated ax infantry. As the advanced body moved the square or Squares, if more than one was formed, if required, were also moved; and in case of extremity the square offered = cover under which the one thousand men coald find com- parative shelter behind the animals, who were prevented ™m sing by a hobble on the fore leg, and use their rifles mont effectively. This corps, Colone! McMurdo in- formed me, could be readily marched seventy miles ia any direction in twelve hours, (6 5-6tha miles per bour,) and rendered throughout the campaign moat efficlent ser- ce. . Gen. Simpson stated that in the same campaign he found the camei #0 serviceable that he procured five or six for his personal use, and that with them he fre- questly went seventy miles between sunset and sun- Ona direct question by Major Delafiel1 (whom wa mo! in the Crimea) whether be would not have preferred the beet English horses to camela could he have obtained them, the General answered no, that he would have pre- ferred the camel, as packing his b upon them in Hight loads, be could move ‘more quickly and continu: ously. In relation to our visiting Persia, the enquiries we have made lead us to the conclusion that, though we might readily get there, our retarn, owing to the blocking up of the roads by snow. would’ be iaspossibe until next spring. As this would detain us wuch beyond the time fixed for our return to the Unitea States, and unnece sarily delay the experiment wi gaged in, we h reluctantly abandoned the journey, though we desired much to eee the varicties of the Persian camel, and par- ticularly the Learbourck or dromedary artillery. ‘Journey into Persia, with the intention of retarning immediately, must be commenced, we find, about May. Our course from this will be, I think, to Syrin or Fay pt, (or dromedaries, and then back to Smyrna for burden oa. mel, in the expectation of commencing our return home some time in February.

Louis Intelligencer, Dee. 8.) Between four and five o'clock yesterday evening, «moke was discovered issuing from the hold of the steamer Parthenia, lying at the wharf near the foot of Chesnut street, and in a fow minutes the flames burst through the desk, just aft of the boilers. An instantaneous alarm was given by the ringing of all the bells of the boats lying at the wharf, and ins remarably brief apace of time the engines were on the ground and our energetice firemen ing ell their exertions to subdue the flames. It was all in vain, however, as in » short time the boat was burned to the water's edge, where the wreck now remains. The James F. Woodruff, « valuable boat, was lying im- mediately above the Parthenia, and was in imminent dan- ge which she was raved by being towed out by the irunette, which was just Jeaving port. Both these boata sre owned by the same parties, Capt. Gould and others. The Twin City was the next boat above, and being cut loose, flowed against the Varthenia: which by this time 5 ® mass of flaines, and.in an instant she too was ou fire, das she continued to float down stream burn until abe waa totally consumed. The Grand Turk, which lay next above, was towed into mn by the Hightflyer, and floated down to Duncan's ere the was wa‘ely moored. At one time «hy tact with the burning wreck of the Twin City, and caught fire by the bows, but the flames were extin- guished almost instantly, with but sligot da nage. ‘The Prairie City lay ‘next above the Grand Turk, and there being considerable apace between her and the burn: ing boata, her ponition was a perfectly seoure one, but by some Inconsiderateness her lines were cut, and rhe float- ed into contact with the two burning boats, and shared their fate. In arout twenty minutes from the first alarm all boats were consumed to the water’ . The Partpenis war an Llinols river packet, running between this city and Lasalie, and at the time of her destruction was loaded with about two hundred tons of valuable freight for that port, ond had steam up ready to go out. She was owned by Capt. Keed, her commander, Mr. Beaseley and Mr. Voorbies, the first clerk, and was valued at $18 000, and was insured for $12,000 in various city offices. The clerk succeeded in saving the books, money, and ali the valuabie papers. She had eighteen passengers on board, whose Degynge was al! lost. Some of them also had furniture on board, which was likewise lost. The Twin City was recently purchased by Capt. Ball, her commander, for $9,000, and was partially insured in various cffices.. She had just commensed lowding for Keokuk, apd had but « few dray loads of freight on board. ‘The Frairie City wan recently pureiased by Capt. Devin- ney. for $20,000, and was preparing to load for NewOrleaua She had no freight on She was insured partially in variour offices. There war ong deal of excitement during the pro- gress of the fire and many boxta net at all in danger, ‘were pushed out into the stream. it was known toere war nome powder on board the Parthenia, but not how much, and this fact kept the actors and spectators in a constant mate of alarm, Finally it exploded, hat with- out doing any damage. We learn that the quantity was bet two kegs. Our estioate of the loss may appear to be large, but when itis considered that the boats alone were worth aeely half that sum, it will hardiy be supposed above the mask.

Iam in- debted to Mr. Chas. 8. Stevens for his kindness in uiding me through the forest, and for giving me the names of the trees. The Mammoth Tree Grove contains in its valley eighty-five monster trees in an area of fifty acres. e * Big Tree ” is not the largest tree in the grove, but it is the largest perfect one. It is ninety-tive feet in circumference, and measured, after it was cut down, 300 feet in length, the stump standing eight feet bef It is estimated by the grains of the stump to be 3,000 years old. Five men were occu- pit twenty five days in felling it (which was done sein J and three weeks to strip off its bark to ¢ height of fifty-two feet. The “ Miner's Cabin” is he eh a in cireum- ference and nearly 300 feet high ; it is open in front about seventeen feet. The “ Three Sisters” are a group evidenth rown from the same root, about 300 feet high, and alnety: two feet in circumference. They are perfect, aud the most beautiful ones in the whole group. The * Pioneer's Cobin” is 150 feet high; where the top is broken off it has a small opening through it. The ‘ Old Bachelor” is quite a forlorn looking gentleman, having many rents in his back, and the roughest looking bark in the whole group, and is 300 feet high, and sixty feet in circumference. ‘The “Husband and Wife” are about 250 feet high, and each 60 feet in cirfimference. They oro very affectionate, leaning toward each other at the top. The “Family Gronp” consists of twenty-six trees, the father, mother and twenty-four children. The father, from appearance, was blown down many years ago. This tree measured 110 feet in circunfe- rence, and the supposed height while standing was 450 feet; the remaining length, where it was broken off by falling against another tree, is 300 feet. It is hollow the entire length, and large enough to ride into on horseback, Nearly half of the trank is em- bedded in the ground, and measures 22 feet in di- ameter above the surface The “ Hermit” stands entirely by itself, and is 320 feet high and 75 feet in circumference, exceedingly straight and symmetrical. The “ Hercudes” ix 360 feet high and 107 feet in circumference; this is the largest standing tree in the grove, aud would make 725,000 feet of lumber; it, like many other large trees, is imperfect, being burned on one side cight feet. The “ Mother” is of feet in circumference and 827 feet high. The ‘ Pennsylvania,” #0 called by two youn; ladies of Philadelphia, is 24 feet in diameter 315 feet high. The “North Carolina” is 21 feet across the base and 310 feet high. The “Green Mountain State” {s 22 feet in diame- ter and 300 feet high. The “Mother and Son” are together 93 feet in clr- cumference; the Mother is 325 feet high, and the Son 300 feet. The “Siamese Twins and thelr Guardian.” The twins have one trunk, but their bodies are separate at a height of 40 feet. They are 300 feet high. The Guardian stands by their side, and is 80 feet in cir- eumference and 325 feet high. The “Old Maid” stands single in her grief; her head, unlike any other trunk in the grove, is eutire- ly e, and 4 lightly bowing. Her height is 360 feet, and the circumference 60 feet. The “ Adie and Mary” are named after two young ladies who made the first buggy drive to the grove. The trees are nearly 300 feet high and 65 fect in circumference, and are very handsome. The “ Horseback Ride’” is an old fallen hollow trunk of 250 feet in length; it is separated into two rts. The space ridden through is 75 feet, and is 2 feet in diameter in the clear. “Uncle Tom’a Cabin” is about 300 feet high and 90 feet in circumference. The canin has @ narrow entrance twoand a half fect in width, and will seat 26 persons; it ts ten feet high. fhe ‘ Bride of the Forest” is not the largest tree, but is noted for having the smoothest bark of any in the grove. It is 280 feet high and 70 feet in cir- cumference. The “ Beauty of the Forest” is 65 feet in ciroum- ference and full 300 feet high; it is very straight and slender, and nearly free of limbs; the top is surmounted with @ beautiful and regular green cap. The altitude of the grove is 4,500 feet above San Francisco, and 2,400 feet above Murphy's camp.

Preparations In the South. ee the Richmond Dispatch, Des. 10.) Ax effort will be mace in the Legisiature to re establish 4 militia system in the State. Although we considered the old system somewhat of a farce, we are inclined to believe that, under existing clreamstances, the establish ment of © well organized militia is desirable. in the pre- sent state of our relations with other sections of the Union, and in view of the evident fact that thf secret emiasaries of abolition are spread through every part of the Comnmnenweslth, we ought to have a weil drillea mili tary force to defend the soil of the Commonwealth, and to preserve domestic order and security, in this connection, we cannot but think it would be » good move on the part of the Legislature to convert the State arsenal in ‘his city into a military academy.

(Corre; pondence of the Richmond Kaquirer TALLAN ASK, Nov. 20, 1555. Our attention has recently been directed to affairs in Central America, by several important considera tions. By the last European steamers, information has come to this country of the fast, that England is Lg ey to wend quite a formidable marine service in the Gulf, and for what parpose she has not yet openly declared. It is apparent, however, that the avowed object of that aggressive government is to regulate affairs in and about Nicaragua A,few years since, and the Clayton-Bulwer treaty passed the Congress of the United States. Its chief provi- sion was, to affirm the doctrine of non-interventi or to stipulate that Buropean powers should not co- lonize or otherwise luterfere with the course of af- fairs on the North American continent. ‘The sub- ject of non intervention was elaborately, ably, and openly discussed in Congress, and no principle of government is, at present, more deeply and tho roughly tixed in the popular mind than’ this—that England shall not interiere with affairs on this con tinent. This doctrine evidently limits the unjust and aggressive pee which has so long characterized John Bull to his grasp at universal empire. The Clayton treaty, containing such provisions, was sent to Bngland, and late advices inform us that that power has refused its ratitication, thereby virtually leclaring that they will colonize on this continent in spite of our wishes and remonstrances to the con- trary. And, besides, the movements of Kinney and Walker, their great. snecess, and the probabilities that in a few yoars the governments formed by these en will root out Britikh authority over every por- tion of Central America, and ultimately become States of thit Cnion, awaken the jealousy and ani- mosity of the English government, and threaten to destroy its protectorate over the Transit Company and the Mosquito Territory. England bas always to extend her do- her own commer- nd justice. nH any oue doubt the With these facts before us, intention of England in sending a fleet to craise | around the Gulf and Central America! it is ap- Velde her obj i lefeat the intentions of Valker and Kinney-—repudiate the Monroe doctrine by the eunnon’s thunder, and assert and acquire a claim over the disputed country by for or by a national system of * Pint ing,” has lately reduced to a science. submit?

In connection with this circular, a very important consideration arises as to the postion this country will take on the question of intervention, now that the Clayton and olwer treaty has been rejected by the English government; for, if this country does not still cling to its former avowed doctrines on this subject, and Congress at its next session does not re- assert its celebrated Monroe doctrine, the emigrants to Nicaragua, if a difficulty should arise, would meet with the same fate a4 the filibuaters under the un- fortunate Lopez. Though our government might 1 tropical fruits, that company give passage to any © California steamers who has the ere in view, rendering unavoidable, poresive, the artoring of w veawel possibly (2) have been right in the last mentioned | case, yet the settlement in Central America is far different and rests on other grounds.

Sale of the Crystal Painee. TO THE BDITOR OF THE HERALD. Tn reading your account of the proceedings of the American Institute, held on Thursday evening, and noticing the measures taken by vote of the members relative to the purchase of the Cryvtal Palace, and the proposition made by Mr. White—the Recelver to sell the building for a sum ouly #aflicient to take np the bonds and cancel the mortgage on the pro perty, the question arives in the mind of many other creditors, what provision is to be inade for them ; how their claims are to he met? There is at present a floating debt of over $50,000 due to a very worthy class of our citizens for labor and material furnished the aswoelation, and which is mueh needed by those who labored and furnished material for refitifng the building while under the management of Barnum, and subsequent to bis ad ministration.
