Although theasuads are leaving it for America aad Australia, thousands more remain at home an the must pitiabdle condition. a must be something radically wrong in the guvern- ment of that country, or in the training of ite people, when so much misery prevails.

Few nations “as wore batural advan- tages than Ireland. Ite svil is not surpassed in fertility ; and ita people, properly direct- ed, uot bebiad any in the world for working their way where a fair opportunity opens for them.

An empty whiskey cask in front of a dis- tillery in Brooklyn, a Ws exploded on Sunday afternoon, seriously injuring # wan who was sitting apon it (the fire from whose pipe caused the explosiou,) and # little girl, who was struck by one of the flying staves. It seems that whiskey caske are etill dangerous even when their contents are exhausted.

A couple of thieves entered a banking- house in Rrockport, N. Y., the other day, knocked down « young man, who was acting as clerk, locked him in the esfe, and then made off witb all the money they ovuld gather up in the office. They were afterwards arrested, one in Rockport and the other in

one that had received any injury beyond the

| winters must bring with them. This is ina

grest measure owing to the attention of Captains Eldridge and Clipperton, the late and present consuls of Kerteh. Around each enclosure, small or large, low solid walls have been built, and are kept in good repair. On Catheart’t Hill, though the grass has growo over many of the flat tembstones, we only noticed one headstone that had been injured ; it was oue which marked the grave of a colonel of the 5th Regiment, and on inquiry we fouud that it was blown down in a gale last winter. It splintered to pieces and the words ** Colonel, 54th Regiment’* were all we could collect. In the adjoining cometeries where some burdreds of our brave soldiers rest, it is gratifying to see that even the round shot which eight or nine years ago some frieodly band placed as 8 border to his comrades grave remain undisturbed. What has been said of Catheart’s Hill applies equally t the graves of the light division, and, in fact, to all the light enclosures. Wild flowers spring up luxuriotly sbout them all, aod there is no appearance of any intrusion either of manor beast. General Pelissier's headquarters and Lord Raglan’s house are inabited by Tartare, who have taken great pride in preserving everything that tells of their departed glory. The huts surround Lord Raglao’s quarters which sheltered his staff; a small tablet in the room where he died records the fact. Kadikoi and Bala- klava are as quiet as the grave, some few small boats lying idle in the harbour, our quay rotting to pieces, and our huts now vecupied by the returning Tartars, whose ouly occupation seems to be fishing for the treasure trove. the sad mementoes of the awful gale of Nov. 14, 1854. A bag full of sovereigns was fished up a few days before our arrival. **Point Powell’’ and “ Castle Bay"’ in bold English letters on the rocks, still t the eye, and several old barges savour still strongly of the Saxon. The field of Balaklava is now dotted with vineyards, and is by no means good galloping ground in 1863. All our batteries remain much as we left them. The trenches can be traced for miles. They have fallen in, as might be ex- pected, but every position ie recognizable at a glance. Inkerman’s Heights are covered with brushwood, though the batteries are easily discerned, and the camps are also well distinguished, though the grass has grown over the paved streets that intersected the lines. The principal occupation of the Tartar women and children consists in digging for bullets, of which they find vast numbers in the crumbling soil of the batteries. Greut quantities of grape shot and broken shell still lie about the principal points of attack. I regret to say that the Redan monument is in a disgraceful state ; the inscription has been almost entirely obliterated. Same Vandals have cut their names an it, and even large pieces aut of it far keepsakes, and the wall around it is broken down in several places. The Redan itself 19 unaltered in general appearance. though gradually crumbling into the ditch, and the vine-yards are quietly springing up in ita rear. The Malakoff remains a mass of ruin; in fuct nothing bas been done since the war to alter the appearance of the town, save the rebuild- ing of « tine of barracks near the docks, where the nt garrison, consisting of one battalion, is quartered. If possible the de- solation is more apparent on the perth than on the south side.

You can traverse the whole line of fortifica- tions and meet with neither suldier nur gun ; the ramparts are falling into their fosse, the walls have sunk, though the general appear- ance is thet of desertion rather than des- truction. A new church has been latel erected in memory of Prince Gortschako and the Russian army, whieh stands weil above the large Russian cemetery near the lighthouse. There are said to be 3,000 in- habitants in Sebastopol ; we scarcely met 30. The shops consist of a long line of open huts, on which English letters repeatedly occur, and prove their origin. These cover the ground where Fort St. Nicholas once stood. Some few of the houses have been re-built, facing the harbour, end we were agreeably surprised to hear one evening the strains of music, which brought out nearly one hundred well dressed people to promenade on the terrace, where 4 naval trophy looks proudly down on the shattered town, but from whence they came, and whither they returned, we never exactly found out. Music amidst so much ruin jarred strangely on the ear. We made ap excursion to the Alma, and slept at what was demguated the Hote! St Petersburg, a Tartar cabaret close by the bridge which crosses the river, and visited the next moruing the first scene of the campaign at Boulganek. The ruined post-house still marks the spot where the first shot was fired. The vil has beea pa rebuilt, the graves of Major Rose, Lieut. Cockerell, and Captain Cust are well preserved, and the monument to the memory of the 23rd and 33rd on the heights is not injured. The Tartars appear tv have a friendly recollection of the English, and they have planted trees raund several of the graves. T bridge has not been repaired.

A horrible diseovery hae just been made on the rebel line of fortifications at Vicksburg Quite a number of men have been engaged in repairing the rebel fort that was blowa up on the night of the 3rd inst. In the course ot their vperations they exhumed sixty or eighty bodies found buried in the ruins of the fort. It seems that while our miners were at work making an entry into the side of the hill that was avvedl by the rebel fort, a streng working purty of rebels were set to work sinking 4 counter mine, within the fort. This party, consisting, it is said, of more than a hundred men, were in the rebel wine when ours exploded, and those of them who were not killed outright were buried alive. Some of the exhumed bodies are terribly lacerated and mangled, while others have not a mark or a bruise upon them. ‘Two heads, one that of a negro, have veen dug up. They were completely severed irom the bodies, the latter not baving yet been found. The bodies are found in almost every position,—some standing erect, others sitting or lying, and in one instance the body was head downward as if it had been caught io that position by the crumbling earth while falling headlong into the pit below.

The Boston of the heat :—

Yesterday the heat was not 80 oppressive as it had been during the first of the week. The thermometer stood on an average about 86°. Our exchanges are filled with accounts of the effects of the Ligh temperature and of casualties arising therefrom. Twenty people weresun struck in New York on Tuesday, mauy of them fatally, and seven deaths from this cause tuok place in Brooklyn same day. In Baltimore same day the thermometer went up to 120°, aud many died from the heat. In Philadelphia, where the temperature at the extreme was ouly 994, many cases of ,sun-stroke are reported. The heat se affected the rails ot the city passenger railway companyfthat in several places, through expansion, they were raised eight inches trom the track, Wat with the incautious use of iced-water, uaripe truits, snd the eifects of the extraordinary warmth, mortality is reported very great almost every where.

Tux Sizct or Cuarceston —The following extracts from # private letter, written by a member of the Massachusetts Twenty-fourth, contain some statements of interest relative of Forts oe sod Sumter : *¢ We are still at work planting siege guns, and | eu befure this reaches you they will be hurling their deadly missiles among the rebs at a great rate. I think that Char- leston has got to cave in this time, as Gen Gillmore works like a man that would not give a thing up easy. He is doing all in his , and should he fail em possible, t [ think improbable), it will not be his fault. The troops bave all the con- fidence in him, and I think him just the man for such work. From what I cao learn he is not a man to waste lives, but deponds mostly on his big guns and irou clads, and | think they will have t» do most of the work, ae there is not much chance for iafuatry to work.

At half-past 3 we have to form in line and stand woul 5 under arms, to be ready in case the rebs should attempt to capture our siege guns, whieh are about 700 yards from Fort Wagner. The pickets Jay under oover of sand banks thrown up to protect them from the enemy's shells. We have three regi- ments ow picket at @ time. We go once io six days, and stay twenty-four hours. The pickets are relieved every night. Once in & while the enemy throw a# sheli over about re- lieving time, but seldum do any harm.

Every other night, when not on picket, we go to the front and work on the siege. We have not bad a man hurt sing we came here, to my knowledge.

Tar Vanperpitt ReporTsp Sank by tTaK Geonata.— The New York papers state that it wus reported in Havana on the Ist instant that the Confederate steamer ‘‘ Georgia,” Captain Semmes, had engaged and sunk the + Vanderbilt "’ off the Great Isaacs, near the Bahamas. The news was brought by the Federal schooner ** Sea Drift’’ from Key West, where it wus derived first from a vessel from Port Royal, and next by 8 pilot boat which spoke a vessel from New York to New Orleans. The same report wws also brought to Havanna by H. b. M. steamer ** Steady.’’ The action lasted twenty min- utes, and the ** Vanderbilt’’ went down with all on board.

Here she got seventy tons of coal, and left on a cruise. We hear nothing or see nothing of the Alabama, for which we conclude she has left this coust entirely. As for the Georgia, we think she is in some secluded bay on the coast, await- ing her guns by the Castor. It is some satisfaction tv know that she will have to waits very longtime.

Tue Iron Craps ory CHarRLeston. — A private letter from thevicinity of Charleston contains some information of interest.

** Since leaving Charleston barbor, I learn that » number of the officers of the iroa clads have been obliged tw retire in consequence of the exhausting churacter of their duties on board, and that their places have been sup- plied by others.

There has been acother serious accident on hoard the iron clad Nahant. They were condensing water un board, and as the water for some time past has beeo rather brackish, wuch pains was taken ® this time to remedy the evil. ‘The officer of the deck, therefore, requested the captain of the hold to bring hiw a little to try. As the tank was un- screwed, the steam of (> boiling water rush- ed vat. sealding terribly seven men, in some instances causing the skin to peel off. Their cries of agony as their wounds were dressed were quite distrcssing.

During the recent attaek upon Fort Wagner, the Nahant had twe shots penetrate ber decks, while the stern of the vessel was open- ed three inches by a shot from Fort Waguer.”

Waar it Costs —Ihe expenses of the fow days riot to the people of New York will amount to millions of dollars. This will huve to be detrayed by the taxpayers, by a luw of the State of New York waking cities aod counties responsible for damages caused by breaches of the peacs. This burden will ultimately fuil on the bard-working men and women of the city, in the shape of increased rent and higher prices for and other ne- cessaries.

—— eee ae oy posed sixteen years as the highest price which the landowners should dewand, with time fur payment, avd » remission of old arrears due prior to 1858. The sdvantage to be derived from a remission of such arrears is vothing but a myth: it is only a swall purtiva of the very poorest class of tenantry who owe such arrears, and who would aever be able to buy the freehuld of their farms at either 15 or 16 years’ rental; none of our wealthy farmers have back rents of any kind to settle,: others, who may be in straightened circum- stances, if they bave been hampered with arrears prior to 1858, it is more than probable that they have given their bonds for them ; and those bonds will remain valid against them, po matter what arrangement may be made with the land-owners

Now, let us immagine what the Duke of New- castle will, or ought to say, when the Delegates present themselves at the Colonial Office :— “ Gentlemen—I concur very readily in the pro- priety of the proposals which you make. They ure, tou very large extent, quite in accordance with my own views, aud with those of the princi- pai land-owners. The latter offeved to sell their estates at 15 years purchase — I proposed 16 years, 80 as to meet the circumstances of good and bad tenants. You yourselves offer 15 and 16 years purchase — the latter rate to be imposed upon ben-paying tenants. If they are able to purchase their tarms at that rate, the proprietors should be glad to sell and get rid of them. Those who purchase at 15 pears, ard have regularly paid their rents, should have the must favorable eon- sideration given them, seeing that they are no better off than the tenants who have puidno rents at all since 1858, except in the very small matter of 50s. or 100s., according to the exteut of their tartas. As to the time to be given the tenant for the redemption of his farm, that is a matter, gen- tlymen, which rests entirely with the land-owners. I shall be happy to concur in any proposal that will give satisfaction to all parties interested.”
