HAYDEN'S SURVEY OF THE YELLOWSTONE 4& Reconnaissance of Nevada by Lieutenant Whalen. Clarence K U ig’s Explorations of the intah Valley. Full Account of the Various Expeditions. Sarr Lake Crry, June 9, 1871. Songress during the past winter was unusually liberal in making appropriations tor the thorough exploration of the vast and almost unknown regions west of the Rocky Mountains and eust of the Sierra Nevadas, Four parties have been fitted out by the government, alded by the Smithsonian Insutute, jor operations tms season, and some of them have alrealy stated out to com- mence their important and dangerous labors, Our city tas naturally been the rendezvous and headquarters of tie parties while making their preliminary arrangemeuts, aud naturally, too, your correspondent has met aud conycrsed with all the leaders, In this communicauon I propose to give | the HERALD & Comparatively full account of the ob- jects and character of the various expeditions which have just begua Ueir great work. And first L will notice SHE POWELL EXPLORING EXPEDITION OF COLORADO RIVER. Major Yowell, who has twice visited the mysteri- us country traversed by the grand Colorado river, and who hus shot through many of the terrific caiions, walled by massive rocks, thousands ot feet high, and who first gave to the scientitic world an imteliigent descripuon of that remion previously unknown, has now in charge the expedition fitted out by the Smithsonian Inst tute, liberally aided by Congressional appropriation, Bis wide experience galuea on previous expedl- TUE tiors evabied him to fit ont his party m a most Satisfactory manner, He had spec din Chicago, on his own plans, three boats, in which his party embarked last week, on the Green river, at the st Yon of that name on the Union Pacific Raure These hoais are pecuiiariy adapted tor the danger. ous service they will be expected to encanuter in | the irightful torrents of Arizona and Nevada. They are consiructed Of the toughest and lightest oak, and are divided juto five water-tight compartments, Which give (hem ample buoyaucy to carry their precious ireight, even if one or more compartments 18 stove in by collision with the Tock: which partially bar many of the most dangerous passes of the river through the deep gorges. The boats have consider. able sheer both atthe bow and stern, and a good breadth of beam, with Manging sides at the midship section, so that they may safely ride the high waves | at the various rifts in the torrent and yet carry a heavy cargo. An ample supply of the very best cars was laid in. by aningenious device Major Powell | bas obtained an almost perfect security for his am- Munition and provisions—a very important des ftatum, since previous expeditions have sufl greatly in cousequence of the loss of supplies by the Capewing of their boats and destruction of provisions and powder by the water. He had specialy made a number of donbie bags of the very best gutta percha, which readily | Mand the change of climate, are impervious | to water, besides possessing sufllclept fatation tation carry all the suppues that can be put In them. Incase & boas is overturned the b securely om, and can be readily found aiterwaras, | With their stores perfectly uninjured, side: they are buoyant cnougu to support a | han, wud it is certain that tiey Will be of the utmost | service in the dangerous navigation of the Colorado. In these bags all the ammunition, instruments, pro- visions and necessiies of every Kind will be se- curely packed, and the gallant Major is confident that, untess some unforseen accident should occur, his purty will encounter no hardsinps or perils from the want of food. The expedition will be di- vided invo river and laud parties. The river party cousisis of twelve wica, mciuuing tue scienutic corps, buutmen, cooks, &c. Tney Wul be suitab.y supplied witu tents for camping on the river banks, Wille at otuer Lumes they expect to sleep in the buats uuaer tarpaulins, if compelled. ‘The tand party will Vary ia suengtu, according to the section of: the country it operates in, and will consist of & pariy of surveyors aud a number of teatusters, As both parties are likely to encounter bands of hostile Indiaus of the Navajos ang Prue tribes, Who Lave cut off members of previous expe- ditions, they willbe thoroughly armed aud pre- pared to figut or pow-wow, a3 the case may be. Major Powell expects, however, to the nutural wonders of | | two, Uurce order, the | Ogden the geological, topographical, botanical and general sc.eutific work wil begin, The party Will move slowly tw Corinne, and thence through the Cache valley to Fort Hall, covering a district of about tity miles in breadth m_ thelr investigations, ‘ney hope to reach Fort Hail in about six weeks, and then a company of United States cavalry will be in revainess, on orderstrom the War Department, to furnwh an escort to te party to the head- waters of the Yellowstone and the vast re gion filed with wonaeriul xeysers, and alls rts of notuval curiosities, which have as yet been very Luperioo. ly examined, Nocuing but the approvett of cold Weather Will Laterrupt the work in ual interesung country, and Pr, Hayden told me he hoped to push wis labors there until October, at which time he weil return to Fort Hail, and thence to Ogden, Woere ins Darly will break up for the sea- son, to leave the be and rendezvous in Washing- iran or ihe purpose ol preparmy their maps and reports, ther journey, und i a few days will reach a more interesting country than that about Salt Lake. ‘Ihe LouOWILS Is & correc: list of ve memoers of the party.—Dr. F.

The Game Which the Motuals and Chicagoes Did Not Play. About 6,000 persons assembied on the Union groanas, Willamsburg, yesterday afternoon to wit- ness the return match between the Mutuals and White Stockings. The game was commenced at five minutes past three with the Whites at the bat, and the way they were retired was a caution to all their backers. Smith, of the Mutuals, could not play, owing to his having severely hurt his ankle the day previous during the game with the Rockfords, Ferguson took his place at third, Higham going to second. The betting was 109 to 60 1n favor Of the Mutuals, and was guite lively, the backers of the visitors taking freely all bets offered. In the first inning the Chicagoes succeeded in getting one man on first base, but he never got any further, as the ot.er three sirikers went out in one, ihe Mutuals, owing to an error of Duuy, scored one run. In we next inning we Green Stockings succeeded in adding another run to the score, this one being weil earned. The Whites went out just as fast as they could get luelr strikers to the bat—rearce, Start, Eggier and Jatield doing the work, Belore wis mung was Was Guished & lgut rain commenced falling, which gradually increased to a heavy shower belore the lirst haif of the third was nearly ended, Uwing to Wis % the Whites scored three runs, ail of which they obiained on wild pitches aud passed balls, the bail being so wet and slippery that Wolters could” not pitch it well, bor could Milis holdit when it was pitched. | When the Whites were retired the umpire, Mr, A. Allison, of the Eckfords, called “time,” but as ile rain wot only coutinued but increased, the game Was finally declared off, the Chicagoes having Deen Uuree times to the bat, while the Mutuals had but two trials with the same, To-day she Mutuals go to Boston and will play the Boston lub to-morrow.

OBITUARY. Commodore Josiah Tatn: Josiah Tatnall, at one time one of the most Prominent officers cf the United States Navy, died at Savannah, Ga., yesterday, in the seventy- fourth year of his age. He was born at Bonayen- tura, near Savanvah, tn 1797, and entered the paval service in 1812, at the outoreak of the last war with Great Britain, At once ordered into active service, although a mere boy, he displayed conspicu- ous gallantry in the well contested but dis- astrous battle of Bladensburg, and subsequently distinguished himself, under Commodore Decatur, in the brief and brilliant Algerine war. In 1818 he was comm:ssioned @ lieutenant, and while commanding a@gunboatin West Indian waters was so energetic in repressing Spanish piracy that he received the formal thanks of the government, and was presented with a service of plate by the merchants of Balti- more. He was well known im the North, having been, in 1822, on duty at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and in 1829 at that of Charlestown, Mass, At the outbreak of the war with Mexico the de- cPisea, then holding the rank of commander, was placed in command of the “mosquito fleet” of steamers and participated in the attackson Tam- pico, Panuco and Vera Cruz. During the bombard- ment of the Castle of San Juan de Vilao Commander Tatnall greatly distinguished himseif tor the hero- isin with which he ran his vessel uuder a fearful ire from the Mexican guns, _hetore the close o1 the action he was badly Wounded in the arm. Commo- dore Perry, in his oflicial despatches, spoke highly of his conduct, and iu recognition of lus services bis native State of Georgia presented him with a sword and tue citizens of Savannah with a silver vase, lu 1850 he was promoted to the rank of captain “for gallant and meritorious servies,"” and in 1:56 he Was ordered to the Kast Indies as fag ofticer of the East Indian squadron. Wtule here he was the incipal actor im an event which gave him a Muropean reputation, ‘ibe war between China and Great Britain was waging iu 1859 and in June of that year he was at Wwe mouth of the Peiho river observing the operations o! the belligerents. A portion of the british fleet was surprisea by the Chinese, who, in great force, opened a severe fire upon the vessels and very soon piaced it in tm- minent Poe In this emergency Captain Tatnall, who had been watching the action, caine vo tne res- cue, declaring that “oivod ig thicker than water.” He accordingly towed the British reserves into action and thus enabled the Britisn to gain a vic- tory. Subsequently he passed through the hottest fre in @ barge and paid @ visit to Adiniral Hope, the commander of the British fleet, wno had been wounded, Although, im giving aid to the enemies of the Chinese he had vio lated the nentrality of the United Stat the circumstances of the case were such that nis conduct received the verbal approbation of Presi- dent Kuchanan himself, ana, as might be supposed, he was oflicially tendered the thanks of her Majesty's government, deivered througn Lord Lyons, the British Minister at Washington. Previous to this Captain Tatnall’s support of Minister fownsend Harms, while that diplomat was engaged in negotiat- ing @ ireaty with Japan, elicited the acknowledgment of the Japanese government for the able manner m which be had aided im smoothing over dililculties and be as} the negotiations. On the breaking out of the rebellion in 1861 Cap- tain Tatnall was in command ot the naval station at Sackett's Harbor, N.Y, A Southern man, feeling the warmest syinpathy for the South and a sincere believer in the doctrine of the right of secession, 16 Was not unnatural for him to tender his resignation immediately upon the Convention of Georgia passin, the ordinance of secession. Of the sincerity ol his motives there can be no question, however deeply his acuon may be deplored and however strongly it may be condemned. He gave up one of the most prominent positions in the United States Navy to accept & commission from the State of Georgia, whose navy was humorousiy declared to consist of a few fat boats on the Chattahoochee river. On the organization of the Confederacy he was made @ captain in the rebel navy and ordered to Chagieston, where he improvised @ feet, with which he oilered some resistance to the Union flotulla during the attack on Port Royal. He remained in the Confederate service throughout the war, but did littie to distinguish himsel/, doubtless because there Was no rebel navy capable of meeting the Union Nect on equal terms. He was aman oi ability and ‘allantry, and Was popular with ali who knew him, Prior to the suppression of the rebellion he was made a commodore by Jetf Dav The despatch announcing his death states that he vie burtea at Bonaventura, the piace of nis rth.

FRED GRANT ON THE SITUATION The Suspension of Smith---What He Says About It. West POINT, June 15, 1871. The members oi the graduating class rose bright and early this:,morning—that is, the very few of them who went to bed at all atter the hop at Cozzens’ last night. The anxious ones who remained up all night, impatiently awaiting until Bentz’s bugle would anvounce the hour of their deiiverance from cadet life, were by far the larger number. Once the long expected reveille had sounded, the quarters where the graduates had ‘boned’ their studies for the past year presented a very lively scene, Gray coats that were new and gray coats that were old lay strewn about the floors whichever way one turned, and as for jackets and Wornout shoes and bell-buttons, whose glitter had More than once won the admiring glances of mili- \ary-loving damseis, they were as vhick as leaves in Vallambrosa tu every nook and corner, Within a halt hour after five every one of the graduates had thrown aside every vestige of his former uniform aud donned a civilian's garb or an “ARMY BLUE’ outfit, much to the envy of the members of the other classes, who were destined to remain behind. ‘The enure furenoon was spent by the new oficersin settling up their accounts and in visiting the pro- fessors and other residents of the post. Several of them were so impatient to get away tbat they took the early trains, without waiting to bid goodby to anybody, and not afew actually left ther trunks and valises at the barracks in their haste, totally oblivious of the fact that tranks and valises do not generally take themselves to trains or boats unless they get a little human aid in the attempt, As in years past, quite a large number banded together and made up a lively party to go to New York to enjoy themselves pefore separating to leave for their respective homes, This party, Which composed all the choice spirits of the class, left by the Daniel Drew in the afternoon, and were accompanied to the wharf by a few members of the second class and the unhappy fellows of their own number who had been put back to other classes from year to year after their “pleve” lue had ended and the class had fairly started on its academic year. THE PARTING between these members and the graduates was very affecting, and one or two of the Cadets broke down completely as the boat moved out into the stream, and were unable to aruculate @ word when me goodbys were spoken for the last time. Sad hour at parting, too quickly here, Spirits to sever linked by each thought, ringing thy anguish, thy bitter tear, ‘Thy bitter tear. THE LEADING STAR, As I had occasion to point outin my last letter, tho graduating class which has just left was one of the very best, as far as its study record was concerned, which ever graduated, The leauer, Cadet Wasson, strange to say, never went to any academy before he came here, During the war he joined one of the fowa regim ents, and was in active service for upwards of eighteen mouths, All the “schooling” he ever had before he got his appoini- ment to West Point he got in alittle Western district school; 80 the 1dea which generally prevailsfamong people who think that the leader of a graduating class here must of necessity have received a very thorough education in some other academy before coming 1s not always a correct one. On the other hand, several of the members of the class who did not graduate even among the ‘stars’ had passed through a reguiar academic course be- fore their “plebe" life began at this place. Wasson is a very fine looking Icllow physically, being tall, weil proportioned and a8 straigit as an arrow. He was born in Unio, but went to Iowa when quite a child, where he was brought up among the nardy people who make up the bulk of the population of the State outside of the towns, He was twenty years and six months ojd when he entered the academy tn June, 186% 1t will thus be seen that his active militury career as A PRIVATE SOLDIER during the war must have begun when he was about sixteen years of age, Owing to tue action of Congress a year or so ago, the Nogineer Corps has been completely shut against the present class, and 1m the orduance branch of the ser ice there are no vacancies; so Wasson and the four “stars” who fol- low him in order of merit will be compelied, despite themselves, to take brevet lieutenancies, if they can possibly get them, in the artillery, which branch 1s also, I understand, quite full. To say the least this 1s rather rough on the “stars” of the resent year. ‘Their fate might have been a Better one had politics and personal influence less to do with the regulation of the destinies of graduates than they had four years ago, when not oniy the five “stars” of the graduating class were made engineers, but the seven who followed them. ‘This innovation was brought about to reach the son Of one of the professors who was uuable to graduate among the ‘‘siars.”" Had only tne usual number of graduates at that time peen imade engineers there Inight have been # chance for the classes which have followed to be represented in the corps by at least their head leaders, Speakimg of the various branches of the service reminds me that FRED GRANT is, as his father did before him, to begin bis military career as an infantry ollicer, This would be a mat- ter of necessity with Fred, even though his prefer- ence was for another branch, as his graduating standing was too low to allow of his being made any- thing aise. However, he bred into some cavalry regiment if one of she graduates ahead of nun shouid prefer the infantry, He would bie 4 make an excellent cavalry officer, To sure he came out at the tal end of the cavalry tactics standing, but that was because he did not do as weli in explaining the theories of the twctics as he might have done had he studied narder, ‘There is no better horseman in the graduating class than Fred, and in the squadron charges on the plains no cadet ever sat his steed more steadily than he, or who was able to cut right and left with greater accuracy with the sabre when in the saddle, Thad @ conversation with him yes- terday, and asked him whetner he intended to re- main in the service. “Well,”’ said he, “I do intend to remain in the ser- vice—at least for a Ume—just vo get a good taste for it.” “I suppose your father wishes you to remain in the army?” “Not he.” hy nots” Tdon’t kuow. He would like to have me leave it at once, but Ldon't see u,"’ and Fred laughed in his good natured Way, 48 much as to say, “Vad may be President, bu’ be can’t make me do everything, you know.”’ “By the way,’ I asked as 1 waa about to leave his room, and came very near tumbling head first Into his open “Saratoga,” as I wheeled suddenly about, “you've read a good deal lately about you're going going to be married to @ princess?” “ON, yes.’? “It’s all true, every word that lis been published about the engagement?” aud I tried to look very solemn as asked the question. Fred stopped packing his trunk, and, roiling his sleeves up to his elbows, as he prepared for A FRESH DIVE into the depths of an old milivary chest tn a corner of the room, exclaimed, laughing all the while, “Certainty, 1s all true, Why, they didn’t tell ali they ought to have told while they Were anout it. ‘The Princess was to have been here tosee me gradu- ate, if she hacn’t nad too many domestic matiers to fix up in her mother's kitchen to admit of her absence. Besides, they should bave told how she intended to buy a cottage at Long Branch und give her money away (o the Viliage lor the support or travelling Bohemians from New York, and then that, being eccentric, she intended to live near the beach in 4 stone hut during the winter.” Fred kept poking away at the mysieries of the military chest and transterring tiem to the trunk as he rattled off wns “nevs,"” tat nobody had eyer beard of before, and ended by saying, “OSH 18 BOSH, and when a fellow's about it he ought to stop at nothing.” “Who started the story first?’ I asked, as I en- deavored to suppress a broad grin at the contemp- tuous way in Which Fred looked at an old pair of gray trowWsers as ne laid a heavy stress on “hosh."” “on, Idoa’t know; nordo LI care.

And so Tom Smith, the standard bearer of his race at West Point, as General Ames, I believe, once Called him, has got to go, at least for a time, happened to meet rim near the guard house this morning at an early hour and asked him if he in- tended to take his chances and come back to the Academy ayatin, “Come back!

Snuth gianced hurriedly over it, and then quietly handed me back the paper. The flush had lett his face, and the two peculiar dark spots oa his cheeks stood out more prominently Luan ever as the rest of his face assumed A DEATHLY PALLOR, Treally pitied the poor fellow trom the bottom of my heart us he turned toward me and said: “Well, sir, J au very sorry that such a decision as that has been arrived at.” “What do you think of 16?!" “In my opinion it is an unjust one; but what can I do? Of course I Will have to submit to it and bear it the best way I can.” ‘You see by the commutation of the senténce you will have to stay away a year from the Academy?” “So Lsee, sir.” “Do you intend to come back again, or tiave you got enough of West Pointy" “1 will come back agai, sir,’’ he replied, deter- minedly; “1 do not mean to give up as long as 1 have @ chance to get along.” “where will you go when the order suspending you comes a.ong?" “I will go to my home, in South Carolina.” nd what will you do meanwuile ?’’ tudy, and be all the more prepared to get on when I get back.” “You may change your mind about coming back, smitny? “No fear of that.

J need say nothing about the joy with wnich the cadets received the announcement that Smith had vo go. The detestation of the poor fellow by the corps is something really incomprehensible. But What will itamouut to? Smith witli go, but Lora Napier, still more of the negro than he, remains. What's the odds ¢? TOO MUCH MARRIED. The Story of a Freuch Bigamist—Arrest at Poughkeepsie. POUGHKEEPSIE, June 15, 1871. Louis Guiseppe Centarini is a Frenchman whose antecedents are at present in a fog, but enough has transpired to cause his arrest in this city upon & charge of bigamy, ana he will ne brought before Recorder Robert E. Taylor to-morrow morning for examination. The first that was known publicly of him hereabouts was when he started @ weekly newspaper In Mat- teawan entitled the Matteawan Review. He was then full of “great expectations,” which, however, failed him, and soon afier his paper “went to the dogs,” and from that time forth Centarini was always in hot water. About the time he started his paper he became acquainted with Miss Mary Diston, of this city, and they were shoruy afterwards married. As soon as IMES WENT AGAINST 11M” at Matteawan he was missed, and then fit was that his new made wife lost all confidence in him, and proceeded to take legal measures for his cap- ture, Accordingly she und her fatuer ap- peared before a magistraie here and swore out @ Warrant against him on the charge of bigamy, believing, and with good foundation too, that at the Ume he married Miss Diston he had a wife in Brook- lyn. ‘Che Warrant was placed in the hands of the proper officers, but before they had time to serve it Centarimi appeared at his bride's residence and explained everything satisfactorily (to her at least) and made her present of @ beautiful goid watch ana chain, The next morning the two appeared before the magistrate who issued the warrant for the absent husband's arrest and had the dangerous document suppressed, ‘the next morning, too, Contarini appeared in & statement in the Pough- keepsie Zag/r, giving reasons for HIS SUDDEN DISAPPEARAN and also giving out that he had received a letter from the old country announcing that he and his three sisters had fallen heirs to $75,000, His young wife believed it all; but mot so the father. He could not be noedwinked, He made atrip to Brooklyn, and there ascertained that in 1861 Contarint married @ little girl aged four- teen years, in that city, and, aiter feecing the little one’s father out of nearly all the moncy he had, de- serted the baby wife and fied to Richmond, Va., Where, during the war, he took up arms on the Cot federate side, and im the meantime mar- ried @ beautiful girl in Richmond named Virginia Saunders, who died some time after in Canada. Leaving the South at tue close of the war Contarini came North, and, on Octover 28, 1870, married Mary Diston, spoken of above. This last news coming to the ears of his Brooklyn wife she hastened to obtain @ divorce, not caring to prosecute them for bigamy. She succeeded in Feb- ruary, 1871; but this does not save Contarini from answering to THE CHARGE OF BIGAMY which is now being vigorously pushed by Miss Diston’s father, though up to ten o'clock this morn- ing Miss Diston was not aware of that fact. A visit was paid to Contarini in jail this morning. He was not in a communicative inood, but positively denics the charge. He 18 a bold man, speaks broken French, dresses in the latest style, and 18 very airish. She belleves her husband trae, and is sure that ALL WILL END WELL. She avers that ste will not belicve the stories cir- culated agatust him unless he says they are true, Whichof course he wiilnot. It is stated that Con- tarini has already used up $750 of her money. To- morrow the Brooklyn wife will be here, and other wit- nesses and important developments are expected. Judging solely from all information received he is in @ Ugnt box, and it 1s not improbable that he will turn out to be as much ofa bigamist as the man Cunningham, who married so many jemales up this Way a few years ago, and who 1s now resting in Sing Sing prison. THE PAVEMENT QUESTION IN JERSEY. It will be remembered that one of the leading issues on which the democracy was defeated last fall in Mudson county, N, J., was the Nicolson pave- ment question, The interests of the democratic ring and those of the Nicolson pavement ring were identical. The quarrymen from Jersey City to Weehawken took op tne cry, aban doned the political party with which they had been Identified, and the result was @ republican vic- tory. The few republicans connected with the pavement ring are making the best use of the vic- tory to advance their interests, and they seem bent on carrying out tie scheme Which brought defeat to the democracy. At the latest meeting of the Kourd of Public Works a large batch of petitions were read, calling for the Nicolson pavement in various streets. ‘The object of reading these petitions is, of course, tocomply with the terms of the charter; but to show the manner tn which they are prepared and pushed wirough it 1s only necessary to mention the case of the Mercer street residents, the majority of whom loudly protested some weeks ago against the laying of this pavement at their expeuse; while the so-called petition purported to emanate from two-thirds of the residents, Hut protests are im vain. ‘The Nicolson Pavement Board which takes charge of the purses of property owners tn Jersey City, understand the proverb “While the sum shines make hay,’’ and there is a pretty strong pro- bavility that the san will not shine tor them next year. One memper of we city government actually keeps an establishment for the manufacture of the wooden blocks now being latd, while another, the reputed “king-pin,”’ is directly interested In the sale of every block to the city. FIRE IN MORAISTOWN. At an early hour yesterday morning a fire broke out In Moiristown, N. J., which Were ts good reason to believe was the work of #n incendiary.

THE QUINTRIPLE ALLIANCE IN THE EAST,: ‘What's in the Wind!—Russia Watchful—Possi- ble Trouble for Turkey in the Danubian Principalities—The Russian (zar Cul- tivating Friendly Acquaintances, Lonpon, May 25, 1871. The Eastern question never has had, and probabig: never will have, any direct imterest for America, But it has, undoubtedly, an mdirect interest—that of its settlement being very likely to bring about also the flaancial settlement of the future position of the Anglo-Saxon race in Europe in political, military and, consequently, also in a commercial sense. That England 1s getting down in its influence, thacit does nut occupy more anything like its former post- on among the European Powers, 13 4 thing knowm to every one, and the consciousness of which begins to show itself in all classes—indeed, women ans children begin to speak of it. But until TH BASTEMN QUESTION 1s settled the last biow has not been given to English supremacy in Europe. With tms blow alt vestiges of 1ts political aad multary influence wilt disappear, and by and by quite incalculable changes will be brought into its commercial position, toa, consequeat on the increase of the Russian and Prussian influence in tie East, as well as on the canal which opens the taille witn India, Australia, China and the rest of the world. From this point of view one would venture to say that the events Which are hkely shortly to take place in the Bass must call forth a certaln amount of attention on the part of the Amerivan public. Some telegrams have been already printed iu London of THE QUINTUPLE ALLIANCE which has formed itself amid the vassals of tue Sultan, and neither Fraace nor England can pus forward @ siugle soldier or @ single diplomatist in defeuce of the Oriental state quo and of the former treaties which guaranteed the existence of the Otte mau cimpire, As to Prussia, the only Power that cam do anything in that line, sue will not do it, having enjoyed the support of Russia during the whole ef the fast century, and being connected with her by the most intimate Wes that can well be tmagined between two neighboring countries, Tne abandon- ment of tue black Sea ty lussia Was the beginning of the end.

Even bad the Sultan all the Becessary means of defence, both on sea against the Greco-EgypUan feet, and on land against simuitancous Tse of Dannbian priuctpauties and Montenegro, the very necess.ty of dividing tie forces to meei the iusurgenis ut so many various points Would quite paralyze the efforts of the Ottoman eupe pire. In the meanwhile THE VE(KRSBURG CABINET, BUSY as It 18 in the East, dues not iose sight of the West, Although Irom several precedents it can coufidenuy look torward to Lngland being quite helpiess to prevent the realizauon of Kussiau plans, aad although tue last London Conferences has ascer- tained this heiplessuess as fully could be wished for, the Petersburg Cabinet takes @ couple of swps of a very practical character to meet the cmergency o. an English meddling. In the first place the Emperor Alexander is gotug to Beriin to wituess the triumphal entry of the Prussian troops and to present ius congratula- ton to his uucie lor his having covered nis soul and bouy with French and German biood and his head With an imperiai crown. In this way both England and the rest of tie world will have one proot more how strong the frienasnip between tne two poten tates is and how littie stress can be relied upon their not acting in full harmony with regard to European affairs, THE OTHER MEASURE taken by the Russian court 18 still more telling. Alter the events of the last London Conference aud the unceremouious way :n which Baron Brunnow (since then raised to the dignity of count) treated both the ‘treaty of Paris and the representatives of all the Powers likely lo oppose him, includiag the head of the English Foreign vilice, 00 one would certainly have expected any exchange of courtesies: between the two courts. Yet Russia intends te pass some compliments to the British nation by Sending over to London the second sou of the Empe~ ror. ‘the Morning Post announced yesterday that “THR GRAND DUKE VLADIMIR of Russia, second son of the Emperor of Russia, at- tended by # numerous suite, 1s expected to arrive 1m England im a few days. His imperial Highness wal stay several weeks in this country.” Oi course the International Exuibition wili have to be a pretext for this visit; but sull, Keeping in view the compara- Uvely small importance of this exhibition when compared with that of a few years back at Paris, the absence of any particular mvitation from the English Court aud the fact that the young Prince is to be attended by a numerous suite aud is to stay several weeks, one cannot help coming to the con- clusion that either the Petersburg Court seeks to ignore its relations to the Windsor Court at any price, or else that it wants, disregardi.g what the Windsor Court may Wish or toink, to make a more intumaie acquaintance with the British Isies and the arrangements of the British army, navy, forte Tesses and the like. At all events, a shrewd young aiplomast explained to me THE MEANING OF THIS VISIT exclusively in the latter sense. The attendance of the numerous suite seemed to him the most sus iclous point, it would appear that the Grand Duke Yiadimir is the most intelligent of the Emperor's children, He was from his bg oo Years the favorite both at the court and in the country. He is also the only prince whose opiaions are rays taken mnvo consideration, and who, without having: yet any particular and important State duties, busies: Dimseif with nearly everyting, He is, besides, @ very quiet Sort of man, so that, supposing he was going to the exhibition for his own sake only, @ numerous suite would never have been in his attend- ance. As the case stands now, however, it seems clear to my friend that the Grand Duke and his numerous suite (composed chiefly of several navat and army officers of high position) will have to look ateverything that can be tnstructive from @ mille tary or marine point of view in England, and should the British government attempt some day seriously to oppose the Russian policy tn the East, the Russian Ministry of War will be all the better for the little trip of the Grand Duke to South Kem sington. “THE VEITING FIREMEN, Departure of the Marshall Hose Company ; for Charlestowa.
