Nine hundred and seventy deaths occurred in New York week before last. 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. — - —<—e —- It is stated thatthe Prince of Wales begins to show symptoms of that devotion to fashion which made a dressy public call George IV. the finest gentleman in the world, and he has taken the initiative in a fashivnable move- ment of immense importance.

By a recent debate in the House of Com- mons, it appeared that the tide of emigration ito the United States, which had been some- jwhat diminished in 1861, has resumed its lfull dow. Of the entire British emigration, lover two-thirds steadily seek the United | States, in spite of special efforts made in their | behalfof Australia and other Britis colunies. Che usual rate is little over 16,000 per month. Several German girls have gone to service in the harvest fields of Northern L[llinous, where they receive one doliar per day wages. The Richmond papers still continue to discuss the subject of foreign recognition and intervention, but evidently with little ex pectation of such good luuk at present. 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 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.” It is not in the power of the Colonial Minister even if he had the will, to do more than indulge in vague generalities of this kind. All effective action on the Land Question must come from the lucal Legislature. The Proprietors should be made to sell their estates on terms similar to of the Island should provide the means of paying for them, either by an Imperial or a local loan,— the former would be wost decidedly the best, and might have been had long since if the resident proprietors, some of whom are new in the Go- vernment, had not intrigued against it.

GREAT SENSATION IN CHAR- LOTLTETOWN! — POWERFUL POLITI- CAL DEMONSTRATION!! — SETTLE- MENT GF THE LAND QUESTION AT LAST!!! Tue easy-going people of this little village, who are pot in the secrets of the Government, received a shock to their nervous system on Wednesday morning last, va beboiding in their quiet streets all the Tury members of both braucbes of the Legislature, dressed in a style that betokened less econemy than is babitual with many of them, and shaved and washed to such a degree that some ot them could not be recognised by their oldest ac- quaintauces, ‘There was an intense anxiety to koow what was the object of this apparently im- portant gathering, but sume of the leaky supporters ef the Administration soon wade it generally known that they were called to Town for the pur- pose of helping to lift the State cuach out of the slough of despond into which it had been plunged by the Joss of the Laud Commissioners’ Award, with hopes of beneficial results trom which a por- tion of the tenantry had been so long deceived. It was necessary to try some new dodge, to lay in seme new political stock that woud serve until the next general election, as the religious question was nearly worn out, and could not be depended upon for another emergency. And tho result of the sagacivus deliberations at the “Caucus” is made known to us in the following article from the Monitor of Thursday :-— “There was a large weeting of the supporters of the Government in both branches of the Legis- jature, yesterday in the Colonial Buildiug, at which the “ tres proposals” of the Duke of New- castle relative to the Land Question were very fully discussed. ‘Ine conclusion arrived at, we understand, was, that a deputation should be ap- poinied by the Goverument to proceed to Englaud forthwith to negotiate with the Duke uf Newcastle for a settlement of this long-pending question upon the following basis: All arrears of reut to be re- linquisbed up to 135t, as recommended by the Royal Commissioners. ‘These teuants who have paid their rents since 1858 to be at liberty tu cun- vert their leasebolds intu treeholds at a years” purchase, twenty years being aliowed to wffect the sawe. Those who have pot paid their rents since 1358, to have a like privilege at sixteen years’ pur- chase. Where the rentals have beev increased beyond the terms reserved in the original leases (1u consequence of au accumulation of arrears), the rentals, in ali cases, to be tixed at oue shilling sterling peracre. These terms, if aceeded to, will, we think, satisfy the tenuntry, and be the means of effectually preventing any future agitation of the Land Question. In the meantime the Govern- went will continue to purchase all estates that may be offered upon such terme as will enable them, with judiciovs management, to improve the condition of the tenautry, and at the same time secure the Colony agaiust pecuniary lugs by the transactions.” We are uot at all thankful to the Monitor for this information. We know that if it could be withheld it would not be given in the Government papers, until the Delegates bad tried their bands ata little bit of diplomacy in Downing Street ; but Government secrets are not 20 easily kept as may be imagined, and this information was made Known to us before the Monitor appeared. Now, let us ask, in the name of common sense, why of a delegation to England, if no better terms are to be asked for the tenantry than are mentioned in the above article? The Delegatiun will cost at lease five hundred pounds—perhaps consider- ably moré,—it is better that that money should be thrown ito the sea than given for such a purpose. The terais proposed to be urged for the Duke of Neweastle’s acceptauce are less favorable than these already offered to the tenantry. The Pro- prictors themselves offered, in the shape of a dratt Bill, to sell at fifteen years purchase,—many resident lavdlords will gladly sell at that rate, and give the tenant awple time to pay for his farm. Fifteen v “the Worrell, Lot 11, Lot 54, and Selkirk proper- Army of Potomne ii 6 were sold, it would not be diffieult to find /a way to make them comply, or render their night, of ove hundred thousand dollars in gold ; should this country be put to the further expense} Proprietors will not sell on the terms on which properties a very serious incumbranee to them. It is true that hostile legislation of this kind wight be checked at the Colonial Office, but if it were, what then? why, let the local Government, if they are honest and sincere in their sympathy for the tenantry, visit the latter with no barsh measures if they should be inclined to forget their obligations tu the landlords; aud by this meaus the proprictary system will die out sooner than by all the delegations that could be undertaken for the next fifty years. It is not, however, the in- tention of the preseat Government, so far as we cap judge from their past conduct, to emancipate the tenantry frow their thraldem under the lease- wld tenure. Those whe can pay may become free by having the last shilling squeezed out of them; these who cannot pay ?—well, there is no hope for theia—at least, while the present Go- verument lasts, neitienicinnigaiillitilia tan salen ARRIVAL OF THE ENGLISH MAIL LATEST NEWS FROM EUROPE. Tue R. M. Steamer Asia arrived at Halifax on Tuesday last, with dates to the 8th inat. The Mail for this Island arrived on Friday morning last. We give below a summary of the latest uews received. No perceptible change has taken place in the | Polish question. France has become somewhat isolated, in consequence of beth England and Austria withdrawing from the threatened athitude with which the triple alliance at one Lime threat- ened Russia. An order bas been sent from the French war-oftice to the Commandant at Stras- burg, requiring an immediate returu of the etfee- tive troops of all arms, in order to ealeulate the amount of stores to be purchased for the reeruit- ing warehouses. On the other hand Russia is preparing for the worst, and is fortifying her ex- t frontier on every side more expecially in the Bultic. Although England and Austria have drawn back, Sweden and Denwark, and the King of Italy are preparing to assist France in chastis- ing Russia. A Cabinet Council was held at Vienna on the 6th inst., aud the Replies w be sent to Russia were taken into consideration. The contents of the Austrian and French notes are not known; it is believed, however, that they are by ne means identical, although the six points and the proposal of a conference are maintained. A pamphlet (evidently semi-official,) bas appeared in Paris upon the Polish question. It is all for war, and is commonly attributed to M. Mocquard, the Emperor's Secretary. In addition to this the Mouiteur has contained a notice of great impor- tance, of which the Paris correspondent of the London Guardian says:— “The one grest and patent fact which has taken plave here during the past week, and which raised the crisis of popular and speculative ex- citesent to its culminating point, bas been the publication, in large type on the first page of the Moniteur, of the despatch of Lord Napicr, coa- taining his notes of the conversation which passed between himself and the Due de Montebello at St. Petersburg. It would be mere waste of time to insist upon the extreme gravity of such a step taken by the official organ ot the Empire, after two day’s deliberation. The Emperor must have perfectly well known and calculated the effect likely to be produced upon the temperament ot forty millions of Frenchmen by proclaiming to them, first, that in the opinion of a French Am- basandor the reply of Russia was “ alinost an in- sult,” and “ tended te a positive and immediate rupture,” and then himself endorsing that opinion by inserting it in the acknowledged expoueut of his policy. It seems to me that the coup bears a striking similarity to that of the phrase addressed to the Austrian Ambassador on the first day of 1859, and that the analogy between the two periods and their probable issue grows every day more striking.” A floating battery which was building in the Thames for the Russian Government, has been taken away in an unfinished state, a frigate hav- ing been sent to bring it. This can meav only that the Czar feare it may be detained if he waits till it i# complete. ‘The Times gives the following account of the trial trip of the ram :— “One of the iron-clad steaw-rams recently constrneted at the Thames Ironworks for the Russian en yesterday went down the river on her trial trip, aratory to her - ture fur Croustadt. "it ia Stated that her saline was hastened materially by orders from the Rus- sian Government, in consequence of the diploma- tie question Dow waiting a reply. The armour casing of the rain is incomplete, and the remainder of the plates were shipped on board, in order to finish the casing in their own dockyard on ber arrival. On nearing the offing of Woolwich dockyard, at 6.45 yesterday moruing, the officer of the wateh on board the Marine Society's ship Warspite, Lieut.-Commmander Sullivan, Superin- tendent, perceived that the ram was making headway, uncontrolled, towards the Warspite’s quarter, aud gave an alarm to that effect. The ram was in tow of a steamtug, the Napoleon. She had her own steam up, she was totally unmanage- able, and, as anticipated, ran intu the Warspite's mage striking her oe abait the p ne, duing considerable damage, the priv- cipal pact of the vg! being under water. The ship bas since been li over to prevent her filling with water. The whule of the outside lining was crushed to a considerable length, the trenails knocked away, and both fore and main chains Were alse injured. One ut her boats was also damaged. The starboard eathead of the ram was carried away, and sbe lost one of ber anchors, which was uflerwarde recovered with the stock broken in the collision. The Warepite will have to be docked for repairs, the cust of which, it is calculated, will exceed £1000. It is reperted that war is likely to break out between France aud Madagascar. The new Go- Vernment has retused to fulfill the promises made by the late King to the French; and the repre- sentative of Mrance has withdrawn hie couutry- men to a distance trom the city.
