The Paris Moniteur publishes a report to the Emperor, from the Commission of the Caisse des Retraites for the aged, on the operations of 1855. It ap) from it that, owing to the war, the dearness of food, and other circumstances, the number of de- ‘its made in the course of that year was only 1,007, and the amount 1,443,548 francs, or 2,563 less ip number and 140,253 francs less in amount than in 1854; the average of deposits also underwent a slight diminution. A letter from Beyrout, in the Journal de Con- stantinople, says:—The rain, in driving down the snow from the mountains, has brought to Eripoll, io Syria, a large mass of serpents and other reptiles. The Austrian Gazette states that for the last three years, during which time horseflesh has been sold at Vienna, 4,725 horses have been slaughtered, which have furnished 1,902,000 lbs. of meat, dis- tributed to the poor in 3,804,000 portions of half a pound eacb. The total produce of the animals’ meat and offal amounted to 225,085 florins (about 2f¢ each.) The commission of the French Academy, says the Univers, for compiling a new dictionary was formed in 1836. It is composed of six members, who receive a yearly salary of 1,200f., or, together, 7,200f. It follows that, in the course of twenty ears, the six members have drawn a sum of 44,000f, At this day not only has the commission not finished the letter ‘‘a’’ of its dictionary, but it has not gone beyond the adjective affectionné. An ap- proximate guess may therefore be given as to the period when the commission will have terminated 1ts labors, and also the expense it will entail on the State. Advices from Archangel state that the north wind, which had been Blowing for some time into the har- bor, has accumulated there gigantic masses of ice, literally high as hills, all bi ht from the Polar seas. These immense blocks changed, for the time, the summer into winter, and seriously impeded the navigation. The students of the University of Turin have issued an address to the gentlemen of the English ress, in which they say: —The principles enounced fy Count Cavour at Paris, are the same to which so many of our best and bravest countrymen have fallen victims. Till very lately they were but simple, though warm, aspirations of a certain party, frowned at and scouted by the Powers and even by the na- tions of Europe, who deemed them fraught with danger to the goneral peace and security. it those principles have now found an open and a legal orderly and #peac ha 5, they are allowed ea lawful King; they go forth into the world under an acknowledged and a respected standard. During a recent excursion of the French Ambassa- dor along the shores of the Sea of Marmora he put in at losto, and received a visit trom the consu- lar body. The Greek Vice Consul made a speech full of charges against the Turks, relating to acts of atrocious barbarity which he aeserted been com- mitted in certain parts of the province, and ex- pressed a wish that diplomatic intervention might put an end to the savage atrocities which prevailed. The London Times of July 10, says:—When all who are engaged in the silk manufactures of i.yons the wine manufacture of Burgundy and ‘the Gironde feel that commerce is a thing of mutualicy ~-that it cannot be one sided~that a country can- not axe without importing, and that every single sous which is paid for a bad article made at home rather than for a good article made abroad is really two sous taken from the means of the country— then, and then only, shall we begin to hope that the combination of ironfounders and _cutlers and cotton- workers will not succeed in fixing upon France a burden which we have shaken off, an es a developement of resources of which she is probably as yet ignorant herself. A Canadian, writing to the London Post, says :— I was in New York at the time Mr. Barclay is said to have committed this (enlistment) offence. In common with many other British subjects, I applied to him for information and assistance to get a situa- tion in the Foreign Legion, and [ affirm that Mr. Barclay took particular not to violate their laws. He reminded me that, asa consul, he could do netting for me—that it would not be proper—and I did not get any situation. The London Telegraph of July 7, saya:—It has od Sie peg by men who on id oe with truth be Tey d as revolutioniste—by such persons as inte. Dr. Arnold and Sir Henry Bulwer—that the gulf between the upper and the middle and shag classes (in England) has long been wide! . that contempt upon the one part and upon the other have become more marked and w able whenever opportunity served to exhibit them. ‘The London Examiner says:—There is a vast dif- ference between the genuine enterprise which cre- ates wealth, and the mock one which consists in rob- bing it from one’s dupes and neighbors. There is great expenditure in Frauce, especially in Paris; there is great a great increase of prices, most —— cnr ng of open ina ig there are ail the external signs of prosperity. But every one cam see that nothing of this reposes on a solid basis—on the real creation or economy of wealth; and it remains to be seen wi wt the laws by which it is now sought to check the mania of speculation will bring any effectus! remedy for the gigantic and growing evil. The London News of July 11, says:—The policy of England towards Brazil om to be very plain and simple. The Emperor of Brazil, in many of the leading features of his character, bears much re- semblance to Queen Victoria: he is an intelligent, a highly cultivated, a strictly virtuous, a very active, and a most patriotic prince. Here, then, are bonds of personal attraction and intimacy between the two sovereigns. Brazil ia the only constitutional monareby in America, The London Post of July 12, says:—The shadows Ne thick upon Italy.

As nothing could so cool the enthusiasm which the English people now feel towards the Em- p¢ ror of the Freuch as the belief that he was holding with the hare and hunting with the hounds—parley- ing with England and acting with Austria—it was doubtless the desire to accomplish this that put the rimor of the projected meeting of the Emperors into circulation. A Paris correspondent of the London Times writes: —Greece be evacuated by the allies, as Thave siready informed you, to remove ail pretext for Austria not loosening her gripe on the Danu- bian Principalities. The French Moniteur de !' Armée publishes the official returns of the casualties sustained by the Frneh army in the East, from the first landing of the troops in Turkey on the Ist of May, 1854, to the 3¢th March, 1866—the date of the conclusion of peace. These returnsinclude both the men who died from illness and who fell in the field. Their num- ber amounted to 62,492, namely; officers of all ranks, 1,284; non-commissioned officers and corporals, 4,408; and soldiers, 56,805, Advices from Alexandria of June 26, say:—The following is a verbal translation of the ordinance by which Christian soldiers are ‘ited to follow their —— secure from molestation. It is an act of tolerance with which it is right the whole civilized world should be made acquainted, aa it is of neothe most important steps in that direction that have been made in the East:— We command ail general officers, colonels, and other heads of those corps in our army in which are Christian soldi re, to take care that they may observe their religion in perfect freedom, To this we order that every Sunday, and every day celebrated jous festival according to their rites, the Christ! ters shall be marched in a body, and without arms, to their respective churches, accompanied by officers, who at the close of thor religious exercises wili bring them back to their corps. ‘The bill for reforming the French customs tariff has heen thrust over to the next session of the Legis- lative body. Amicable relations have been re-established be tween Russia and Sardinia, This fact, it is thought, will be a serious shock to Austrian diplomacy. A credit bank has been formed in Milan, with capital of 120,000f., for the assistance of the silk trade.

The editor of the Pittsburg Dispatch writes as follows from the village of Economy, Beaver county, Pennsylvania:— This place was finished, long ago. The commu- nity or society once numbered eight hundred souls; they are now less than three hundred. From one- third to one-half the houses are tenantless. Neat, comfortable dwellings, both brick and frame, are “voiceless as the grave’ Elsewhere in the town all is still enongh, indeed, at most hours of da; night, save tor the strangers who come to relieve the quietude, After 9 o'clock P.M not a foot-fall is to be heard, save when a traveller drops in from the Rae or a locomotive snorts by, with its rattle and clatter. At six andabalf A. M. all who hope to eat breakfast must be ready to sit down at the hotel table; those who are taggard will have a sound scolding, most surely, from “Joseph,” the worthy host, who occupies’ that troublesome it for his share of duty as a member of the society, sid- ed, as far as practicable, by ‘David,” another ex- cellent little fellow, who, in addition to the daties of cuiting tailor and barber for the whole community, also helps Joseph at the tavern. ‘The fashions do not vary much, however, and pro- bably David has not an onerous post as tailor; but I observed with surprise that ras grown male mem- ber of the community is shaved, at least on Sab- bath, though all wear whiskers, great or small. ‘The community seems to be pretty evenly divided, male and female—the latter almost as hearty in ap- pearance asthe former. The society, as you are aware, settled first at Old Harmony, Butler county, in 1805; finding themselves too tar from navigab! waters and markets, they removed thence, about ten yeas afterwards, to New Harmony, on tne Wa- bash river, in Indiana. Here, owing to the un- healthy climate, many died, and the community again removed in 1824-25 to their present location; having remained at each of the first places chosen about ten years, and here, to the present time, thir- ty odd yeara. George Rapp, their beloved leader trom Germany, came here with them. He had adopted a son called Frederick, who also came to this place,and died before his adopted father. George Rapp died in the fall of 1847—then in his ninetieth year. He had preached more than fifty years; had led his people in all their wander- ings, trom Germany to their last “Promised Land” here; and when all was settled hopefully, the com- munity prospering beyond its most sanguine expec- tations, he prepared to lay down his Co ager crook, and summoning his people around his win dow, in the yara of his dwei he thence deliver- ed to them his last discourse; and though of age so advanced, and on the gra’ vei his voice was e's ', 7 strong enough to be h for half a square. uring that same week he died, and lies buried, like all the reat, in the common lot, without even a hillock to show where be lies. Mr. R. L. Baker, a very able and worthy man, succeeded ia the spiritual and temporal leadership of the society. More re- cently, M. Henrici, the very intelligent treasurer of oS mosey, has been appointed joint trustee with r. Baker. In the society, as is known, there is a perfect equality in all respects; all are propristors, all equal in rights and dignity, none are birelings. The cook at the hotel, who for thirty odd years has occupied that post, David, the tailor, barber, &c., and of whatever conte stand alike respected.

Mr. Baker led the services, with two old men sitting on either side of him in the pul- pit. The choir had about twenty-four performers, wale and female. Two pianes were in lien of an or- gan; Mies Gertrude Rapp played one, and Mr. Hen- rici the other. the music rather monotonous, but fair. The services were—first, music, singing, &.; then prayer; then a chapter, sermon, singing and prayer. For the first prayer, all rose; during the succeeding service preseher and audience sat—in the last prayer leaning forward. On entering the church the nvm end women came in by different doors and took 0 ite sides of the house. On leaving, the-men sat waiting till all the women had gone out and the coast was clear; then the preacher led out, and the other male Cp ple followed. We omitted to say that, at the close ot each division of the service, the audience responded “amen” in what sounds. exactly like a sharp quick guttural “ugh!” and rather startles, at first.

I observed very few tottering steps, but nine-tenthe of the men ar bald, and most of the others gray; the women look more fresh; some wear wigs. The evidences of decline and decay are manifes ainfally, and teach a sad lesson of mortality. Coun [oon took away about 250 of the original eight hun- dred; others left at other times; death has ir and less than three hundred remain. advance of fage and decrease of numbers compel a curtailment of occupations. Silk manufacture is therefore abandoned; cotton and woollen manufac- tures are confined now to the little winter work for their own wear; so of Santen we other employ- ments. The mnseum fs gone long ago: their music hands are no a kept hs i even in the harvest fields they must hire help,and reduce the amount of land in cultivation. They have fifty of the finest milch cows I ever saw, and even this spring Mr. Baker purchased a five hundred dollar bull, and eight or pine cows at two hundred each, for ae stock; they have also the choicest varieties of Shangbae and other fowls in thousands; but of sheep,only two hundred for mutton; none for wool; of hogs about seventy-five, which are bought for fattening and kill- ing alone each year, as they raise none; of horses, wbout fifty head, for ploughing, kc. Every dumb ani- mal is kindly tended—all are as fat as can be—and neither man nor brute is overtasked. The people feel independent, and care very little for accumulation at present; hence they labor regu- larly, but never hurriedly, and the hotel is merely kept up aa a matter of public accommodation. They own some five thousand acres of land, worth say $100 per acre: add value of town buildings, money, stock, &c., they cannot be worth leas than two mil- lions, I believe. They are kind to the ; a house is set apart for indigent travellers, where beds are furnished, and supper and break/ast freely given to any waytarer. They have also kindly received back several truante, who went abroad in former times, did bedly, and returned, like the prodigal son.

There are. people who, in opposition to our opinion, suppose the prolonged stay of Walker in Nicaragua to contribute to his taking root there, even in case of the actual condition of his situation not being modified. This opinion, at first sight, bears an air not only of probability, but seems, at the same time, to rest on the no’ Very remote ex- ample of what has happened in Texas. From the very moment when the usurpation of that Territor was cousummated by a handful of filibuaters, witl the aid of Zebala and some few other traitors (who, to eay it in passing, were not long delayed in receiv- ing their requital by being spoiled and put aside), it was easy to foresee the difficulty, if not the im- possibility, of taking Aligle spoils from them. Each day passed was to them a new element of strength. If Walker were in possession of Nicaragua on the same footing or which Houston exercised his domi- nation over the Mexican province, the same conse- quences would necessarily result, as the fruit of the identity of the circumstances connected with each al case. But with this apparent resemblance between the cases, the actual situation is in ail points a different one. The usurpers of Texas formed a small nu- cleus, but lived isolated, and were in reality the sole and exclusive inhabitants of the country. On the contrary, Walker and his foliowers find themselves surrounded by a population, perhaps not very thick, but, to be sure, infinitely more numerous, who con- sticute a society amongst themselyes, well or ill organized. “This silent opposition is an obstacle Houston and his partisans were free of, and the importance and dangers of which must be taken notice of. Lastly, and here we touch the greatest difficulty, the Anglo-Ameri- = FH pecoe of Aa nat dpa mee and soldiers, e of these eleme: i, perhaps, predomi- nant, and there lay the germ of thdir strength. The legitimate and legal origin of the colony and its poaniagow had marked out the path w! it fol- lowed up afterwards As regards Walker and his partisans, they are all of them exclusively soldiers.

But the sesso of that warlike tribe was, by no moral link, with the interests or ideas of the country, and, for want of such a si bond, centuries of uninterrupted duration did not allow them to take any root. Weakened by Napoleon, their massacre, ordered by a crafty Pasha, was suffi- cient to make disap) from the face of the earth ‘the power and even name of the Mamelukes, But some one may atjoot here that, if Walker has not yet colonized he do 80, without any doubt, at the first moment of repose. The inclination and habits of his race point to this course as sure of being followed. We will not deny that it may be so, under the supposition, however, of one trifling con dition granted us, and that is, will it be at all possible? t, unfortunately, or to say better, for- tunately, we disclaim entirely such a possibility. And we shall not commit such ¢ silly action as allege as a first argument for supporting our ideas that the land in Central America has its owuers, as in all other American countries, occupied by the nish race. If, in the legal point of view, this obstacle is of no small importance, the modern his pe ot California proves such scruples not to be auf- ficient for serving as a barrier.

Here, we touch upon the most sensitive and deli- cate point of the question of Nicaragua, as well as of all the social and political problems which, to- day, are agitated in all the mega of the neighbor- ing continent. Here, at the lance, the inti- mate connection is discovered which, in fact, exists between the affairs of Kansas and those of Nicara- gua. Without the organization of forced labor, the domination of the filibusters in Central America is, and has to be ephemera! as _ well as sterile, or even ruinous to the usurpers. Will it be, at least for the present, possible to proceed to their projected accli- matization? If the answer be negative, we shall have gained our argument as far as we have former. ly proved the absolute necessity of this point of it. Interesting from the Plains. PEACR WITH THE INDIANS—THE SAINTS RETURNING FLOM SALT LAKE—LARAMIE—GENERAL HARNEY'S FORTIFICATIONS. A correspondent of the St. Louis Republican wri''-g from Fort Laramie, on the 14th of June ga)+:— ‘The Indians are quiet, and come very little about the road. The Sioux, since the battle at ash Hol- low of September last, have stood in fect dread of Long Knife, as they call General Harney. The Cheyennes killed a T, & few days since, about the bridge on the North Platte, but Captain Heath and company have given them such a scare that they disap) for parts unknown. The difficulty commenced about a horse which an emigrant lost, and the Cheyennes found and offered to deliver up for a reward. This the a refused to pay, and the Indian kept the horse till the @mgrant ee to Captain H., who took both horse and Indian. The Indian attempted to escape, when he was shot. This alarmed the whole company, who fled, and meeting the trader in the road, Indian like, they took his scalp to pay for that of their comrade, who had just been shot. We apprehend no difficulty with them now. We have met with several parties of the Saints returning from Salt Lake to the Staves, All we mot mave a ible picture of the state of affairs there now. The poorer classes had to subsist for months on roots-such as thistle, seco, &c—which the In- dinns gather and sell to them for one dollar per bushel. The grasshoppers, which caused the famine last year, have commenced again this season, and bid tair to destroy the present crop of wheat and vegetables. Many of them appeared very much dis satisfied with the Mormon fvith, and stated they had been deceived—thet the it had everything taken from them, in the shape of tithes and taxes, to support a few leaders in the church. Be this as it Muy. Many of those we met were real objects of pity, and gave evidence, in their utter destitution, that Mormonism offords but little food for the body, at least, let it be as it will with the soul. Laramie has improved considera sly in appearance since ie it in 1860. There are some very re- «pectable buildings about the place—they have a large garden in cultivation—a store where emi- grants can get almost anything they call for on paying a round price for it. These evidences of civilization, together with the uc dred Indian lodges inhabited by French Canadi- sos and their families, which surround the place, with an occasional haif nude savage, give the place a strange, wild and somewhat romantic appear- ance. Near our , at the mouth of Ash Hollow, I visited the fortidcetions trected by General Harney last fall, when the Sioux ange ogee to age ogee the government troops in country.

Near the place [also sound the ing place of the five soldiers who were killed in an action with Little Thunder on the 34 of § mber, 1855. Yesterday we passed over the place where Lieutenant Graham and his men were mass . and saw their common graves enclosed by a stone wall. About 150 yards from the place were the remains of the four who were killed in the same action, placed upon scaffolds with their sobes around them, and their guns and other accon- trements of war by their side. But now the war is over and peace established, which I hope may be permanent. “rneet MuspeR tN CLEveLann — Last night, be- rneen eight and nine o'clock, the city was thrown ina it excitement by the that Philip Secb had been stabbed and k: on Superior street.

LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE MINT IN REFE- RENCE 10 THE ALTERATIONS IN THR CENT COIN- AGE :— Mint or rae Unrrep Srarss, Puriavevpata, July 11, 1856. Srr—In a former communication res} ing an alteration of the cent coinage I took lon to say that I had requested the melter and refiner to pro- secute tarther experiments, with a view to the ascer- tainment of the moat suitable alloy for that coinage. These experiments were not \—chiefly be- cause the mint was in a dismantled condition—when the bill relating to the coinage of cents was prepar- ed, in the 5th section of which it was propeced to allow the pi of metals in the new coin to be determined hereafter, in the manuer therein stated. Subsequently, the department and the Finance Committee of the Senate deemed it proper that the proportion of metals should be authoritatively feats w; whereupon the section was amended as the bilf subsequently passed the Senate, in which it is enacted that the et noe of other metals than copper shall not exceed five cent. ecent experiments have induced us to prefer an alloy in which the proportion of other meta! than shall be greater than is above stated—name- * of weight of metal there shall be cighty-elght copper and twelve of nickel. This alloy seems to possess all the desirable characteristics for a cent piece. I have accordingly caused some specimens to be struck, Shy places of pele 4 send ou by Mr. an agent of the department. To prevent and delay we have used the half cent dies. Fhe spec mens will show that the mixture receives a im- pression from the dies, and exhibits its color and general appearance. It will be seen that, in its external character, it differs entirely from gold, silver, and copper, pre- serving be or red tone of the latter, with the light color of nickel. The color is peculiar, and it is lieved will be more acceptable than ony of the gray- white or brassy mixtures, or that in which the cop- per more largely Fp poo for it seems to be desired y the public that not only a smaller cent than the one now in circulation should be struck, but that we should get rid of copper, on account of its liability to blacken and become foal. The infusion of twelve per cent of nickel—which is a metal of considerable value—elevates the char- acter of the material, and, besides the advantages of color and general appearance, will enable us to make the cent of less weight, and, at the same time, preserve some just proportion between the intrinsic and the nominal value of the coin. The present legal cent weighs one hundred and sixty-eight grains; the specimens I send you weigh about seventy-two grains, and] Pro that as a proper weight. It gives a sufficient ni can and is rep- resented by @ convenient decimal—namely, fifteen (15) bundreths of an ounce—which will afford a ver facility in the calculations of the mint—they being kept, as you are aware, in troy ounce and de- cimals of the ounce. The value of the metal, in rolled sheets, is fifty- four cents per pound; the piece to weigh seven two grains, (fifteen hundredths of an ounce,) selgiarng without estimating the cost of cutti: striking, would be eighty per cent. This considerably less than the seigniorage on the pieces as roposed ly the bill as it the ‘Shnate, but it is large enongh to effect rec con- templated, and the withdrawal of the small igh coin and old cents, a8 is provided in other parts of the proposed law.

It can- not be easily imitated by the cheaper brass or bronze, as there have a dec yellow, instead of red, tone, and I know of no other alloy which can readily be substituted for it. To carry into effect the views herein presented it will be ne to amend the Senate bill now pending in the House in the 5th section, by striking out “n “six grains, or two-tenths of an ounce, and insert seventy-two grains, or fifteen hundredths of an ounce; strike out “four grains,” and in- sert three grains a that will be a sufficient remedy for the diminished piece); and strike ont “flvé per centum in weight of metals,” and insert one-eighth in weight of other metals. ‘he section would then read as fo'lows:— Sec. 5.

Leaving your city in the early train in the morning, either by the Hudson River or the New York and Erie Railroad, the seeker after com- fort, pleasure, and beautiful scenery will find himself in abundance of time fora good night’s rest, at the great Falls of Nisgara. He will then have the forenoon of the next day to him- self, which he may devote to sight-seeing around the great cataract, or in any other way he may choose. Then, crossing over the suspension bridge, be will consign himself to the cars of the Great Western Railway, and, after a run of forty-three miles, arrive at the city of Hamilton—where his luggage, on leaving the Falls, should be consigned. At this point, if the inner man should need bracing up, a very good dinner can be had; after which, leaving the Great Western Railway proper, he will take the cars for To- ronto, where he will arrive about 6 o'clock, P. M. To avoid imposition, purchase on board the cars an omni- bus ticket, which will take yon to any hotel or partof the city you may desire to go. Now, I will confeas to you frankly I have no particular laudatioas to bestow on the hotels of Toronto; still I will just whis- per in your ear, ‘Go to the Clarendon.” This house is kept by 9 live American, Childs, formerly of the International at the Falls, and a clever good feeling fellow, who, with his assistant, Davis, will do all in his power to make you happy and comfortable.
