It uns the whole distance in an almost strictly direct line, ‘and for three quarters of the way through a sterile look- tng, monotonous region, unrelieved, as far as the eye can Feach, by a single elevation approaching the dignity of a Jeyenile mound, Although there had, comparatively speaking, to be little or nothing done in the way of exca- ‘vation during its construstion, an enormous amount of Mabor and material was required to make a solid passage over the morasses and bogs through which it now runs. In some places piles were swallowed up for weeks, a ‘Gast as they could be driven on top of cach other, before @ firm foundation could be obtained. Tho tireless perse- ‘vorance and stolid patience which characterise the con- uct of this singular people in all their great undertakings -@t length triumphed over all obstacles, and made thos Portions of the road as infloxible as the Russ pavement in Broadway. During the whole 450 versts above referred ‘to there are only a few short patches of rail fence to b» seen; and although there are tens of thousands of acres of Pretty good grazing, there are very few cattle or sheep to be seen iu the immodiate vicinity of the road. This, ‘however, may be the result of caution on the part of the “owners. Several cities and towns, with their glittering domes and minarets, are seen in the distance at intervals, Bome of these are of great historical celebrity, and a!) @have passed through the varying scenes of triumph and disaster which distinguished every portion of this now wast empire during its early and stormy career. At Vishni Volotchok the great canal commences, which, in connection witha number of rivers and lakes unites ‘tbo Volga with the Neva, and thus furnishes an unbroken ‘water communication between the Baltic and Caspian peas, A large number of enormous flat bottomed barges may generally be seen here in summer, on their way from the interior of the empire to the Neva. Like the Hatboats of the Mississippi, they are very roughly and “earelessly constructed, and at the terminal age are usually broken up, after ‘eharged. Most of the timber used Petersburg, Cronstadt, &c., is brought from tho forests of Kazan in those barges. On approaching Tver the country ,Btadually improves in appearance, and from thence to * Moscow, about 150 versts, the land gently undulates, the SFrerdure becomes brighter, tho foliage more luxuriant, ypsae trees tower in height and expand in bulls, and the soil darker, deeper and richer. From Tver steamboats "om down the V to Astrakhan, on the @aspian Sea, a us sastance of more 3,000 miles. * j¢ AS the railroads in Ruasia have a double track through- @ut, accidents are unknown, and I understand the gov- wmtnment are determined that none others, either iblic or private, shall be permitted in the em- “pire. There are some twenty stations on the © youte, and the trains stop at each not leas -#ban twenty minutes, and where the regular meals are “?@aken they remain much longer.

For my own part, however, I cannot Bay that I like this system, on the whole, any better than ‘our own opposite extreme, particularly as it cuts off all * ope of one's occasionally experiencing the unspeakable Tuxury of seeing @ fat man or two making a ludicrous @ffort to catch the cars. ¥ The whole track being 0 G¥-4-40 the level of the Biwepers and rail beds cokhwery broken tones, like » @pewly macadamized road, leaves it entirely free from dust, and the neatly laid out gardens and parks which adorn each depot, and many of which cover a space of Beveral acres, it a most delic‘tful appearance at * this season. new villages: which are aa, spring- + fag up along the whole line have a semt-splendor about them which cannot fail to forcibly impress the reflecting traveller with the rapidly increasing greatness and pros- perity of this young and mighty empire. ‘On arriving at the Moscow depot, which ia Just beyond + the extreme limit of the city, you can see nothing at first, look where you will, but massive domes and tapering minarets, which, looming above the houses, give the whole place the appearance of one vast celiection of con- nected chureb Nor will this first i sion be en Urcly erased by a more intimate and prolonged acquain ance with the interior ot the city, for you are met on all Bides,.no matier where you turn, with the glittering cros. Surmounting the crescent, I have already seen nearly everything of note both withia and without the walls, and th hazard nothing in saying that there are very few cities powsessing equal charms or equal interest. ‘| spent one whole day in examining the palaces, churches arsenal, treasury and her buildings inside the ancion ‘and memorable Kremlin. Each is literally filled with ‘the most invaluable relics—objects of matchless interest and what would be fur more acceptable to the pr wcti calinvader, millions of treasure, in the way of jewels and precious metals. There is an elaborate history, and in Most cases an astounding miracle or two also, connected ‘with nearly every one of the countless maltitude of pic- tures which adore, or, in most cases, more correctly Epeaking, disfigure, the interior of the Kremlin cathe- drais, and the extraordinary wonders performed by the almost obliterated one which bangs over the ‘Gate of the Redeemer," on the outside of the great northern entrance render those recorded in the “Arabian Nights” insipidly ‘uninteresting. Last evening, just as the sun was sinking, having gone ‘ont for the purpose, I stood upon Sparrow hills, and »ked back upan the city gleaming in bright blue, green, red, silver and gold. It was here } os and the ad- ‘vanced guard of the French army caught the first glimoe ‘ef Moscow, with its dazzling domes and burnished cupo- las. There is a magnificent view of the city from those ills, and the Kremlin faces them directly. I shall not trouble your readers with any of the maltitude of reflec tions which here, and in the Kremlin, flashed acrom my mind at every step.

His real name is alleged to be Nauendorf, a watchmaker by trade, from Crossen on the Oder, and a Prussian sub- ject. According to a statistic of the Austrian army, compiled from the official list, the number of officers h com- missions amounts to 15,261. Of these, not including tho Emperor, 22 are archdukes, 5 dukes, 60 princes, 591 counts, 898 barons, 570 so-called ‘ritter,”’ hereditary knighss, and 2,100 “Herrs vou,” a sort of nobility dis. tinguished by the “von” or ‘de’? preceding the family name. The remaining 10,300 belong to the class of burgh- ers, or untitlod citizens, which preponderate, in the spe- cial departments, such as artillery and engineers. ‘The American ship Emerald Isle, of the burden of 1,800 tons, and the Red Jacket, a vessel of the burden of 1,649 tons, came into collision with each other in the Irish Chan- nd@es 4 P. M., on the 24th of July last. The Emerald Isle was bound from Liverpool for New York with a general cargo and 600 emigrants; the Red Jacket was proceeding from Melbourne for Liverpool with passengers and a gen- eral cargo, Cross actions were entered in Admiralty, London, by the respective parties. The Judge inquired of the Elder Brethrea whioh of the vessels was to blame, The Elder Brethren imputed the fault solely to the Red Jacket. The Court pronounced accordingly. Major Porter, R. F., in his work, ‘ Life in the Trenches Before Sebastopol,’’ bears the following important testi- mony to the superiority of Colt’s revoivers:—It may net be amiss hero to mention that my subsequent experience in the trenches bofore Sebastopol led me decidedly to the opinion that Colt’s pistols were, on the whole, superior to those of any other makers. ‘The cetablishment of steam communication between Treland via Wate rford and South Wales, through Milford Haven, will soon take place. Three steambeat companies are desirous of taking the contract. Passengers from London will then be able to land m Ireland after a short sea voyage of some six or seven hours. The Chinese steamer, ‘Captain Breart, belonging to the Emperor of the French, arrived at ort Royallately. She had been sent by the Admiral on the station, by direction of the Emperor, to obtain information respecting the formation and discipline of British West India regiments, it being in contemplation to raise a similar force in the French West India Islands, and thereby prevent the great sucritice of life to which European regiments serving in tropical climates are subject. The Madrid Gazette says the Queen has expressad a de- sire that the marriage of Dona Amalia and Prince Adalbert of Bavaria shall be celebrated with the greatest possible solemnity. The Novedades says that it is not true that the Oneen isto proceed to the provinces recently visited by the Duke de la Vittoria. An extraordinary affuir lately occured at Santa Gruz de la Palma, inthe Canary Isles. Don Jose Alreu, first alcalde of that place, summoned the Marquls de Guisla, and his eldest sen, Don Manuel, to present themselves at hia office. and when they did so, closing the door on them, he required them to sign a deed, transferring to him an estate of the value of 14,000 piastres (about £3,000) which thoy possessed at San Antonio. They in- dignantly refused, when M. Abreu, drawing a long poignard from a drawer, declared that he would stab them both if they did not sign. Aftor a little hesitation they complied, and were then allowed to leave. The Scotch miners’ strike, the most extensive and bit- terly contested which has ever been known in the west of Scotland, may be held to have terminated. When it war at its height, about six weeks since, at least 40,000 men were engaged in it, and remaining ina state of voluntary idleness. “It is calculated that the sacrifice in wages alone amounted to more than £500,000; but to to this must be added the loss of masters’ profits and the disio- cation of business endured by all who depend on the coal and iron mining trades. The men have returned to their work in avery gloomy mod, and under a burning seuse of injustice, An im) t document has been printed by order of the British House of Lords, showing the expenditure of £213,177 1s. 2d. for the purchase of hereditary pensions. The present Duke of Grafton had enjoyed a pension o £9,000 a year (which produced £7,191 12s, net) from the excise, The pension was granted Ls letters patent of Charles the Second. The pension has lately been re- deemed for the eum of £193,777 138. 2d. Another pen- sion of £1.000, reduced to £720, granted to the Duke of Schomberg on the Post Office, and recently received by C.

It is not unusual for the students of the Scandinavian universities to pay cach other every two or three y international visits in corpore, Such an international vi-it takes place this year from Denmark and Norway to the two Swedish universities of Stockholm and Upsala. ‘The number of Danish students who take part in this fr terization i+ 228 aud 233 from the Norwegian universi- tios. There are also 130 from Lund. A Madrid journal, called the Discussion, publishes a letter from Barbes, the French refugee, to the Duke de la Vic- toria, complaining of his expulsion from Barcelona. “Ia leaving Spain,” he says, ‘1am satistied with the conduct of the Spanish people, whom I do not render respousible for the injustice done me; but 1 carry with me a very poor opinion of the men who govern them.” The London Chronicle of June 11, says:—The Stade dues of the Elbe cannot long be permitted to continue when the Sound dues are effectually dealt with; and our own local dues on shipping must of necessity be abolished, as at variance with the Imperial policy of the empire. One liberal commercial uniform system must be eventu- ally more or lees adopted throughout the continent, and the resulta cannot fail to be eminently advantageous to ‘aud commercial classes of every part of A writer, signing himself “Americus,” says, in a letter to the London Times:—I would humbly ‘beg the people of Great Britain to recollect, at this sole an moment of inter national differences, how monstrous the rebellion of the mies against the mother country was considered at the time, and how universally its justice is acquiesced ip now; to recollect that the United States went to war with Great Britain, in 1812, to resist toe exercis right, pow admit «d to be an unequtvocal wrong; and, by the light of this experience, to ask themselves if it is not barely possible that they may be once more mistaken in regard to the merits of certain questions, which Heaven grant may not this time lead to war, Mr. Sth O'Brien has written a letter to the represen tevtve of the University at Athens. He says:—Believing that the Hellenic race stili posscrses those heroic and ci il virtues for which their ancestors we ‘e distinguished ; , that the various elements of which it con ined to form hereafter one great and com { nation, I should feel disposed, iI were a Greek, wo litte account of undeserved reproaches. On the yer hand, sound policy appears to suggest that Greek Patriotism should abide the progress of events and avoid external collisions. Letters trom Persia speak a which bas been concentrated in Khorasan against Herat —it i said to amouat to 35,000 men. It seems the Per: «tans counted without their host in the Herat aifair. By getting Youssuf Khan (who bad passed halt his life in Te heran, and was in the interest of the Persian Court) into Herat, they thought of establishing Persian influence in the town and its Territory. But the people of Herat are woplewantly self willed, it seems, and will not bear fo- reign interference; bemdes, the power of the Khan is very. limited and strictly defined, while the town is governing Mteelf. ‘The Madrid Gazette of the Sth of June, containa a re port from the Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Queen, recommending that the Minister Plenipotentiary of Spain at Paris shall be raised to the dignity of Ambassador, in order to place him on a footing with the major part of the reprerentatives of Europe, on the occasion of the baptiem of the Imperial Prince, “whose august mother ‘was Spanish by ber family and ber birth.”’ Mr. Danby Seymour, M.

The Austrian Archduchess Elizabeth, wife of the Arch- duke Charles Ferdinand, had just given birth to a prince. Last year the accouchment of the Empress of Austria and the Arohduchess took place on the same day, and in the Present instance a similar event, in the case of the Em press, Was expected to occur within a few weeks. In 1864 the number of vessels whioh passed tie Souud at Elsinore amounted to 16,368, against 21,536 in 1853, 17,- 508 in 1862, 19,944 in 1861 and 19,121 in 1850.

The largest number of Unit Suites ships ‘that passed the Sound in any year was 140— in 1848, It appears from a despatch received by the Liverpool underwriters that 600 vessels have arrived at Cronstadt since the re-opening of the Russian ports. The facilities for loading and unloading are much complained of. The Paris correspondent of the London Times, writing on June llth, says:—Mr. Dillon, late French Consul "ac San Francisco, has been named Consul-general at_Port au-Prince, in Hayti. Iunderstand that he has instruc tions from the French government to intimate to his Im. perial Majesty Soulouque, whose great amusement seems to be to get himself shamefully beaten once a year (if not oftner} by the Dominicans, that it will mot tolerate his aggressions on the territory of that republic. Mr. Dillon is a native of Ireland. The editor of a democratic journal, at Madrid, was being tried lately for seditious writing, when the public prose- cutor commenced to eulogise Queen Isabella, and in a kind of appeal to the democratic party, demanded if her Majesty was not worthy to occupy the throne of Spain? “No,” cooly exclaimed one of the auditors.

The London Herald of June 14, says :—The Commis- sioners of Irish Emigration have published their report; and if any ope shall be in doubt as to the elasticity Ireland let him study that report. Since 1848 up to 1855 the moneys remitted from America by the Irish emi- rants to their friends of relations was no less than 8,393,000. In 1853 the moneys remitted were £1,439,090; in 1854, £1,780,000; in 1855, £873,000, Here, then, are upwards of £4,000,000 sterling remitted to Ireland in three years! Let it not be imagined that the £4,000,000 was & sum intended solely for assistance in emigration, No such thing. That sum was far in excess of all the expenses attendant on emigration to the continent of America. Jn France, the waters of the Saone and Rhone continue to dechne siowiy, The quays of Lyons are now com- pletely clear, and persons are everywhere actively en- gaged in repairing the damages caused by the inauda- ton.

Thas, while in the general emigration in 1854 was ind in 1595 52.05 per cent, the decrease in ration amounted in the same years to 64:95 per cent.

Under theve circumstances, it 14 not surprising that emigration has fallen off. The amounts remitted by settlers in North Aimorica to Ireland amounted last year to £573,000, making a total of £8,393,000 remitted since 1848.

The ill success of the previous efforts of advocates for fan increase of pay may be attributed in a groat measure to the vague and incorrect ideas current among civilians unacquainted with the details of my J affairs respecting the pay and emoluments of officers of the army. sony every officor has at some period of his service received something like the following for an answer, when stating the amount of his monthly pay:—Ob, yes but you are fed, clothed aud equipped at the expense of the government, and your pay serves but for your luxu- ries” Of course every one conversant with the subject knows: that officers are neither fed, clothed nor equipped at the public expense; that instead of recetving ample provision for their support, a sum barely sufficient for the necossa- ries of life is granted them, and in some cases not even ‘this, For what officer dees not know instances of some ad lieutenant on the frontiers being obliged to transfer is entire monthly pay to liquidate his moss bill? OF course the residue in this case—nething—goes to the pur- chase of clothing, equipments, &e. It is evident that in cases like the foregoing the private soldier is better paid than his officer, for he is fed, clothed and equipped, and receives in addition a compen: sation for his services. Is it difficult to understand why some of our most dis- tinguished officers have left, aud are leaving the army? ‘They can obtain as much celebrity and far better com- pensation, with less hardship and privation, out of the — than in it. cers are daily receiving offers of responsible situa- tions in civil life, with four or five times the compensa- tion they receive in the army. , however, have formed 80 many attachments that link them to the army that they cannot leave it; others resign, in despair of any- thing ever being effected'in their behalf, and that they may acquire a competency to support and educate their families. The officers of the lower grades in the army do not receive the pay allowed by government to messengers. A good laborer, under the supervision of an officer, tre- queatly receives more than the officer. Many a subal- tern, performing the duties of Assistant Quartermaster and Commissary, has paid his clerk far more than he himeelf received. In order that an officer may devote his time to his pro- fessional duties, and not be obliged to perform duties un- becoming his position, he is allowed by law the pay, clothing and subsistence of a private soldier for the hire and maintenance of a servant, oa bis (the officer's) certi- fieate that he actually keeps such servant. Therefore this amount commuted ($19 59) per month, cannot be considered as part of the olticer’s pay. Should he : cur the expense and actually keep in service a servant, he receives no portion of this amount. Deducting this, the pay of a second Heutenant of artil- lery or infantry is $49 per month, or $680 per annum; {he pay of a firet lieutenant, of five years service or more in the same branches, is $60 per mouth. or $720 per an- num; and of a captain, after more than fifteen years ser. vice, is but $82 per month, or $984 per annum. In view of the increased rates of living, the social position the offt- cor must sustain, and the comparative pay of other ser- vants of the gov ernment, it is_very evident that no class of men are 50 poorly paid as officers of the army. Subject to service that may entail upon them a ruined constitu- tion ard an early grave: often ont of reach of every com. fort, subjected to hardships and privations of which no foreign army offers a parallel; is it just, is it proper that they should be compelled to eke out a miserable live- ihood when all other public servants are iu comparison liberally pa ‘hereas, Congress has justly provided in most instances: for the increased expenses of ‘public servants, nt to the vastiy augmented price of provisions &c., the pay of officers remains precisely as when the cost of living was not one half its present amount. It is well that officers are actuated by higher motives than by the attainment of money, for certainly there are but few positions in which a man of ordinary intelligence and respectable education could be placed, ia which he could not earn a more liberal subsistence than that granted to officers of the army. Itis most earnestly to be hoped that some measures will be taken befure the adjournment of Congress to place officers on a footing with other public servants. ‘There are various methods suggested—one by the Se- eretary of War; one by the General in Chief, and others by distinguished officers of the army, by which this in- crease can be effected. Any one of these, shonid it be embodied in a bill and passed, will be most gratefully re ceived by the army. JUSTITIA. A Singulor Case of Breach of Promise in Canada [From the Torunto Colonist, June 28.) A rather singular case of breach of promise of marriago was tried before Judge Smith, in Montreal, on the 13th inst. The plaintiff was a Miss Lydia Flagg, and the de fendant Mr. Francis Ewing. Both parties lived in the parish of Henrysville, Lower Canada, The dofendaat {3 farmer of censilerable wealth and rezpectability. The plaintift is a farmer's daughter, aud is also respectably connected. They commenced their courtship in Novem: ber, 1854; and after two months spent in making love, the Ist January, 1555, was fixed upou as the weddin: day. Great preparations were made for the {mportan event by the young lady and her family. A sumptuou, dinner Was provided, and numbers of friends of bott par tice were invited, The license was purchased, the cler gyman was engaged, and in short every w Wi considered complete, On the appointed day ¥ Flagg and ber friends proceeded to the chure ceremony was to be performed, but Mr. yet arrived. They waited for twe hours came not, Messengers were then despatched in search of him, and in due time they returned with intelligence» that he was no where to be found—in fact, that he had leftfor parts anknown., o cause was assigned for this strange proceeding. The girl’s charac- ter was nuimpeachable, and ne conjecture could be made as to what bad induced him so suddenly to change his in tontions, Of course, the young lady was deeply affected by such ungenerows conduct. But nothing was heard of her truant lover for several months. At length it was Stated that he had gone te the United States. This was the substance of the case for the plaintiff, as stated by her counsel. The defence was a singuiar one, Tue dedend- ant's counsel denied that he had ever beon alg op breach of promise; that he loved the young lady i ly, and that bis love had never changed; that he had ea. aged to marry her, aud was still prepared to c: i is engagement into effect. He avoided allusion as mu as possible to the vagary which seized bimon the day named for his marriage, but stated that any time subse- quently he was ready ‘and willing to take her as his wecaed wife it he had only been asked to do so, but he hat never been asked, and consequently he «id not think fit to offer, Ho was impatient to be asked all the time to name the happy day; and he thought it strange the provent action should bo brought agalnst him. for not doing that whieh he had never been asked to do, Such was his and it was urged with a pathetic air of injured put it had little woight with either judge or jury, and he was finally east in £250 damages, being ex- actly half the «om the young lady claimed. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Mownar, Jane 30—6 P.M. The principal movement at the first board to-day was iu Erie Railroad stock. It opened at 69% and closed at © per cent, with sales of more than six thousand shares After the adjournment of the board sales were made at C04; percent. Reading, New York Central, Cleveland id Toledo were the most active of other stocks; but there was no improvement in prices. The mar ket throughout was firm. The Western railroad stocks must, as a general thing, hold their own un jer any ordinary phase of the money market. The earnings throughout for June will show a very handsome increase on those for the same month last year, and the present prospects for the harvest are so very flattering that extravagant estimates have already been formed of the future earnings of the most prominent railroads of Miinois and Wisconsin. It strikes us that the most attrac tive railroad investment just now is the La Crosse and Milwaukie, This t# the youngest, newest, and, from present indications, likely to be the most profitable, on the capital invested, of all the Western rail- roads. Thero is mo stock in this market, and itmay not be put on. It is largely held in Hartford and Providence, and cales have been made in Hartford at 80 per cent, The Milwaukie and Mississippi has done avery profitable business ths far thia year, Tt will pay flve por cent in cash for the first six months, and reserve a surplus of nearly as much more. The Galena an¢ Chicago will, shout doubt, find active employment for its immense yuipment. The two roads of this company drain the finest agricultural country in the world; and their geo- grephical pasition is more favorable for connections with roads beyond the Mississippi river than any others touch ing the eastern shore of that stream, The Reading Rail road is gradually making up the deficiency in its business reported during the first six months of the present fiscal year. Tt gross and net earnings will be considerably lose thin last year, but sufficient to ensure good cash di- vidends Four per cent in cash will be the payment for the Latuf July. This stock ought to command a market price equal to New York Central, in anticipation of the July dividend, A small lot of Wisconsin Lake Shore Rail rond stock anid to-day at T7344 per centeash. This carries tho four per cont cash dividend, Michigan Southern, with the five per cent dividend just declared, solls at 9814 por cont; and Michigan Contral 9854, dividead of five por ceat off, A moderate spooulative movement in any of these stocks would soon make up for the discount o. the dividend Ato first board to day Missouri 6's advanced X per cents sew York Contral Railroad 6's, Tilinois Cnteal wonda, a: Brie, \¢; Wisconsin Lake Shore, X. New York Contra, Railrond declined Y per cent; Panama, At the eocond board Brie advanced %% por cont; Clove. jand and Toledo, j. After tho board Krie sold at 60% a 61 per cont, Lilinols Central bonds sold as high as 89 per cet, cash. The Interest coupons of the Sacramento City bonds, due in this city on the Ist of July, will be paid on and after | that date, upon presentation at the Treasurer's office, | Wells, Fargo & Co.'s, 82 Broadway. We understand thatthe amount provided for the pay- | ment of the July interest on the California State bonds has been paid into the hands of the State agent, but for some reason, unexplained, it will not be forthcoming on the lat proximo, The money was paid over in time into the agent's hands, but the credit of the State is likely to suffer for his neglect. ‘The Assistant Treasurer reperts to-day as follows:— Paid om Treasury account, $884,921 57 Received on Treasury aceo' 299,134 48 Balance on Treasury account 6,770,858 26 Paid for Assay Oifice.. . 69,305 82 Paid on disburing checl 13,486 06 The payments to-day include $802,000 transferred to | the interest fund, to meet the semi-annual payment om the | public debt, due to-morrow. ‘The operations at the Assistant Treasurer's office of this port during the month of June, were as follows:— RYecHvTs AND DishURSEMENTS.
