CAPTURE OF A RUSSIAN MAN-OF-WAR.

The Steamship Northern Light _nrrived at New York with dates from San Francisco to Oct. 20.

The Northern Light connected at‘ n Juan with the steamer Sierra Nevada, which_hrou_ght down about 300 assengers, but no specie owing to the apprehen ed troubles at the Isthmus. _

The steamer golden Age left San Francisco six hours ahead of the Sierra Nevada, having on bond the mails. a large number of passengers, and about $2,000,000 of specie.

We learn from the Purser. of the Northern Li ht that everything was quiet at the Isthmus, an?! that no further trouble was ap rehended. 001. Walker, leader of the Democratic party_in Nicaragua, had concluded a trepty of peace with the Chamcrro party, and, havin declined the Presidency in favour of Rivas, t e latter was sworn into ollice on the 31st of October, at Gre- nada. Col. Walker was appointed Commander- in-Chief of the Nicaragua forces, and l_’arker H . French, formerly of the Sacramento Tribune, had been appointe Commissary of War.

The peo le of Nicaragua appeared mach pleas- ed with t e new order of things.

Col.Kinney was at Greytown with only about a dozen men, some of whom were suffering from sickness.

Gen. Walker’s men were anxious to be allow- ed to drive Kinney and his men out of the coun- try.

BRITISH CAXTURES IN THE NORTH PACIFIC.

U. S. steamshi John Hancock, arrived at San Francisco on t e 19th from Pctropaulowski, bringing news, that the Russians on the Amoor River had fortiﬁed the place very strongly. The British steamer Baracouta had been at Ayan, and found the place deserted. They, however, discovered the secreted goods of the Russian Fur Company,wbich were seized,and burnt with a small steamer upon the stocks. The Baracou- ta then left for Petropaulowski, and ﬁred upon the town, after which she left, and, when oil‘ Elizabeth Island, encountered the Bremen bri Creta, with 140 Russian oﬂicers and soldiers on I]>{oard, which she captured, and carried to Ilong

on .

The Russians on the Amoor had succeeded in gettin their ﬂeet through the passage into the river y lightening them. A portion of the Al- lied ﬂeet had attempted it but without success. The British Admiral had issued a proclamation informing the inhabitants that they might re- turn to Ayan,providing they did not molest any of the vessels touching there for provisions, the-

Previous to the sailing of the John Hancock it was currently reporte that the Allied ﬂeet were in the Gulfof Tartary, and would attein t the passage of the Aineor River, where, no oubt, if they succeeded, they found a warm reception.

All the towns along the coast were deserted, and all the available forces that the Russians had in Kamschatka and Siberia were concentrat- ed at the river Amoor. Should the Allied fleets succeed in getting through the shallow passage, we shall probably have sotne interesting news from this quarter by the next California steam- or.

I‘.VII’OBTAN'I‘ FROM EASTERN RUSSIA.

The Whalin barque Gcorge,Capt. Wall, had arrived at S2illli“I'tlYlClSCO from the Ochotsk Sca.

bringing full particulars in relation to the doings ‘

of the Allied tlcct in the vicinity of A an. The English steamer Ilaracouta, and t to frigate Pique on l'Amphitrite, arrived oil’ Ay-an about the l0tli of Jul . The English commanders were much surprised to find the town deserted, the inhabitants retreating into the interior. The following is condensed from a San Francisco

N .

“ There was at Auyun a small vessel on the stocks, which the Russians were building, and a small steamer that had been brought there the year before. She was intended as a tug-boat on the river Amoor. The Governor of Ayan had a hole du in the beacln above high water mark, and with tackles and purchases,hoisted the tug- boat into the hole, with the intention of burying her. At the time the British steamer hove in sight, the Russians were engaged in putting merchandize in the tug-boat from the company’s vvarehouses.—The steamer had got so close to the shore before she was discovered that the Russians did not have time to cover her up.

" On the 11th of July, the squadron sent their boats on shore, and commenced taking all and on thing they could ﬂnd that was of any use to them that the Russians had left. On the landing of the boats, they found the place where

the tug was buried, and they commenced taking out the boxes ofinerchandizo and hardware that the Russians had put into the tug-bout, and conveyed them on board the squadron. After they had got all that was convenient for them to take, the commander ordered the tug-boat to be blown up, which was done by putting one hundred pounds of )OW(I9l' into the fore part of the vessel, and applying to it a slow match.

“ The British squadron did not have the plea- sure of making many prizes in the Ochotsk Sea. All the towns along the ooast being deserted.

“ The battery at Ayan had been destroyed by the Russians themselves, and the guns were all buried. All the available force that the Rue- sians had in Kamschatkai. and Siberia were con- centrated at the river Amoor. The only vessel we have heard of, being taken otf Cape Eliza- beth. She had on board part of the crew of the Russian frigate Diana, which vessel was wreck- ed at Sionada, Japan ; she was bound to the Amoor river.

The Times, in ii Ieadar, observes that Gorischa. liotf must look with anxiety towards a retreat as the only means of extrication from a position which every day is rendering more untenable.

Marshal Pellisser’s object in avoiding to press the Russians with so much rigour as to force upon ‘hem the necessity of taking on immediate and decided part is to oblige them, when they shall at any time execute their retrograde movement, to endure all that the inclemency of the elements can inﬂict upon them, and to run the gauntlet through large bodies of troops. which may compel them to ﬁght for its very existence.

The Times believes that, should no unforeseen accident disarrsnge and destroy our most carefully forined combinations, the Russian retreat will be the recommencement of a series of calamities not inferior to those which for so many months have ruined fire, sword, and pestilence into the hands of the devoted defenders of Sebsstopol.

MUNICIPAL TAXATION.

In our last, we took a short review of the consequences of limiting taxation to real estate. By the terms of the Act of Incorporation, the City Council are empowered to assess the own- ers or occupiers of real or ersonal estates, or both. In lookin over the ump and ‘Veil As- sessment Books or the year 1854, we found the rental of Charlottetown is computed at upwards of £20,000, this would make the tastable valua- tion of real estate to be upwards of £200,000, but in that valuation, there are many town lots reckoned at far beyond the sum they would actually let at for one year, which is the cri- terion of value given by the Act; on the other hand, there is to be added the value of the houses and lands in the Comtnon so called. The total amount of real estate in the City, ta- king ten times the amount of rent, according to the Act, as the rule for taxable valuation, will be perhaps, £225,000. An assessment on iis sum at one penny in the pound, would give £937 10s. , fully as innch, or snore, than would be required for the present year, but in this case, the occupant of a £5 tenement would have to pay «is. ‘.’d., which, added to the 49. he is coinpellable to pay for statutelabor compensa- tion. makes 8s. 2d. for the laboring man, who is still liable to pay his education tax. Now comes the question of personal estate: what this may amount to, it isimpossible to say,and dillicult to conjecture, there can be no question, however, but that it would greatly exceed the amount of real estate at 10 years purchase, we should say at least, double it, that is,£500,0U0, which. added to tho £250,000, makes a total of £750,000. which, at one farthing in the pound, gives 1.2705 7s. In this case, the owner of the £5 tenement, supposing him to possess £10 of personal property, will be reckoned at £00, makes his tax 15 pence.which, added to 4s., makes 5s. .'ld., about the suns he at present ays. Take now the occupier of is house worth £60 per annum, or £600, give him in furniture, &c., £600 more, in all £1,200, his tax will be .61 53., no very great sum for a man of his substance. The tax on the slio -keepers and capitalists ofany description, will be at ﬁrst proportionably ht h, but when it is considered, that they have t e power of addingit in the shape of prciiton their goods, they will e nearly, if not ful , compensated for the outlay. We are not anxious to fatigue our readers with any further calculations, enough has been done to show the diﬁerence between impo sin a tax on both kinds of roperty, instead 0 selecting either, and of t e propriet of endeavoring to bring the taxes to the a ility of the several classes to pa . The City Council are anxious, we are certain, to do what is right, and they will, we doubt not, give the matter its fulles consideration. ,

The Steamer Lady Le.\larohant brought the‘ usual Mails from Shediae esterday, but no’ further news from Europe tlian that we pub- lished on Saturday. We have however, some; interresting news from the Pacilic by the way of California and the United States.

We have copied an interesting article on the War from the New York Tribune which, al- though it gives no later news, shows some light on the strategetic movements of the Allies.

The Rev. Mr. Brewster gave according to

roniise, a highly instructive and entertaining

ectiiro on the subject of the Russian War, 10 a nuuierous and attentive audience. It is in.- possible to give any synopsisof what was partly written an. partly extempore, suggested ap- parently on the spur of the moment. All how- ever who heard the Rev. lecturer were highly satisfied with the style in which the subject was treated, both as respects manner and matter. The sum realized was we understand, about £15. 'l‘lie result therefore is gratifying to the Rev. Gentleman as well as to their charity proﬁting by this exertion of his talents.
