Admiral Naehimoff received a severe

adds: La;-t night the Russians kept. up
a trei'neiid0us fire. I aiii sorry to say
that the battery which the French con-
structed betwecii the Matiielon atid the
Malakolf has been knocked to pieces by
the powerful fire of the latter fort. A
colonel and 30 officers and men were
thick
have received a decided check. In fact
as the allies advance to the actual defen-
ces of the places, they iuust expect to
meet more elaborate works,‘ and obsta-
cles heaped on one auotlier with all the
care wliicli many, months of preparation
admit. Even now the enemy are strength-
eiiing the lVlalakoffevery day. It is not
what. it was on the 18th of June, and a
fortnight hence, it will not be what it is
now. The battery at the “flute “forks
liowever, still goes on, and its effects will
be proved in at few days.

CRIATEA
July 3 A. M ,Afier a brisk can-
oiiade the Russians made a sortie about
midnight on the left of the little Redan.
As we are uo\v quite close to tlieui it
did not take the enemy many minutes to
reach otir gabioiis. They were vigor-
ously repulsed by llie Foot Cliasseurs of
the Imperial guard, and by some compa-
lll€‘3 of the 10th reginieut of the line.
The Russians beat a hasty retreat, ul-
tliou_«_rli there were some wounded and
eight killed between our ambuscades and
the fosse of the place, a very dark night
eiiabliiig iliein to carry off the others.
The affair dges honor to Olll‘ ofiicers.~—-
Gen. Bissoii was on duty in the trench-

It is rumored in Paris that the prepa-
rations of the Black Sea squadron are
not for an attack on Odessa, but to make
a bold (lash at the harbor of Sebastopol,
with 100 ships and 40,000 men, while a
simultaneous attack is iuade from the
land.

Orimmeizzal Trees.——Tlie work of or-

trees, on an extensive scale, has begun.
Some fiveyears ago the first brnameiital
tree association was formed at Chelsea.
Since then others have been formed at
East Boston, Soutli- Boston, Haverliill,
St. Albans, (Vt.) etc., for the purpose of
planting trees on every street of the sev
cral places. The result has been most
happy. Take East Boston alone. VVith-
in three years 1250 forest trees have been
plauied,.at an expense of about $4,0()0,
or a little more than $3 each. The
change in that part of the city is won-
derful, and the rise of the property on
some streets has beep five per cent. tliro’

“Apropos of -courtin,’ that was a ‘cool’
man who, after having given over a mar-

ted was about to take place, or) being
asked the reason, said: "I had been
with her, you know, a good while, and
noticed she was rather cool in her re-
iunrks, and hinted that she would rather
go home alone than have me with her;
but I did’iit mind that, you know. \Vell
one night when we got to the door, says
she .- ‘Mr, , I do not wish your

The following despatoli gives the details
of the disgraceful affair.
yesterday morning, while ilie election
was going quietly on, some disturbance
arose at the polls. lVIr.Burge, aiiamer-
loan was insulted, stabbed, and beaten
until it was supposed he was dead, by a
party of Irislimen. The assaulters were
immediately arrested and lodged in jail.
In the afternoon, three Americans were
fired upon while quietly passing :1 Ger-
man brewery, several squares below.—-
A perfect shower of shot and bullets was
rained from the windows of German
houses, and many people were wounded.
The foreigners seen in the whole vicinity
were armed and attempted the indiscrim-
inate slaughter of Americans. An im-
mense crowd of infuriated Americans as-
sembled, and were fired at from the win-
dows, when they burned the German
brewery and sacked several . houses.-—
The most serious rioting occurred in the
8th ward. About 6 P. M., as I-l‘ll'0e
Americans were quietly passing along
Main street, they were set on by ten
Irishmeii, and fifteen shots were fired by
the latter. One American, named Rhodes
was killed, and both the others were
wouiided. The Irish then took refuge
in the house on the corner of Chappelt
and Market. streets, whence they fired
and wounded several Americans, and
killed two, iiairied Graham and l-Iobsoii.
The firing from the houses was continu-
ed for half an hour until the Americans
procured arms and reinforcements, and
broke open the house. They succeeded,
in capturing the murderer of Graham
and immediately hung him. A police-
man,ciit him down while stillliving, but
he died this moining.__ In the meantime
there was a perfect fusilade from rifles
and guns from a row of Irish houses, on
the corner of Eleventh and Main streets
on .all passing Americans, several of
whom were badly wounded, The whole
row was filled with armed Irish. A
crowd of Americans assembled, and fail-
ing to dislodge them, fired one of the
houses and sent for reiniorcements which
soon arrived with muskets and cannon.
Several Irislimen in the burning build-
ing were shot, atid others captured.--
Reports were heard in the buildings, but
no attempt was made to put out the fire
and two or three blocks were burned
dowti. Several other fires also occurred
last night. '
On leaving the 8th ward, the infuria-
ted mob marched to the Times office,
which was only saved from demolition
by the efforts of Mr. Prentice, and oth-
ers of the American party.
This morning there were rumors of
more disturbance and large crowds were
assembled in the streets. About 11
o’clock, a mob started for the levee, and
attacked a row of Irish houses, whence
it was reported shots were fired earlier
in the day. The crowd, however, were
restrained, and every effort is being made
to restore peace.

.Destmct77t;e Fire at Sta.mfard.—At 1
o’clock on \Vednesday morning, the
“Stamford “Manufacturing Company
Buildings,” located at Stamford, Conn..
were entirely destroyed by fire. The
buildings,six in number, varied in height
from one-and-a-half to five stories, and
were occupied as follows: Storage and
buildingfor manufacturing and drying lic-
orice, brick boiler-liouse,boilers evapora-
tors, steam engine, cutting dyewoods,
cutiing machines, storage rooms and of-
fice. The fire originated in the steam-
engine building, and thence rapidlyspre-ad
to the adjoining buildings. Two sets
of men were working in the establish-
ment day and night, and one set was
scattered through the various buildings
when the fire was discovere.
The workmen brought several streams
to bear on the flames, but the fire had
gained such headway, and all attempts to
extiiigiiisli it appearing futile, the men
turned their attention toward saving the
neighboring buildings. ' '
Several Fire Companies from the vil-
lage were promptly on the ground and
rendered efficient service. They saved
fromldestruction dy tliei exertions some
500 or 600 cords of wood.
The six buildings with their contents,
including machinery, were a heap of ru-
ins in less than two hours after the alarm
was given.
The business of the Company was

be made of the loss, as it is not known

in the various buildings.

merchandize will not, however, exceed
$60,000.

pliibious nttture, and it “shocking bud lml"

full fruition oi his Garden seed speculations.)
His companion was the bland and courteous
commander of one of our Steamers.’ The
pair were Wending their way cosily along be-
hind “old bob-tall gray,” to the tlicatre of all
of Capt. Pluck’s redoubtublc exploits. The
worthy brace, or even old dobbin, never drea-

At length however
“They reached the pitched on spot.

And each one ‘tool: of!‘ all he‘-.1 got—"
And forthwith plunged into the briny fluid,
with the double purpose of washing away all
remembrances of the sordid cares incident to
the two fold use of villainous Steam which
the one uses so freely in creating clowns, and
exciting the wonderment of juveniles at his
gory specimens of humanity “il ustrated with
cuts,” and which the other puts to its utmost
test in “beating the opposition boa.t—”with
the collateral object of‘ appearing at church
“with clean hands” whatever might be the
condition of their hearts. The saline lotion
proved the oblivious elixir they had desired,
and as the flooding tide rolled in upon their
bleached bodies it seemed to hush their bliss-
ful spirits into t-hat“loving langnor which is
not repose,” so touchingly described in Don
Juan. Like two huge and unctious porpoises
the obese pair lolled and floated about, as only
men can whose consciences are at rest. They
“laved in it’-‘ ad libiitiin. til] at the very some
of those delicious sensations, one cast a half
disdainful, half languishing look towards the
sterile land, when lol he discovered that there
was “a tide in tlfe affairs of men, which taken
at its flood” was not “leading them on to for-
tune” but—their wardrobe out to sea! The
blissful repose “whereto the day’s hard jour-
ney did soundly invite them,” was in an ins-
tant fled, and like Caesar and Cassius in the
“troubled Tiber,” the twain did buffet the
treacherous waters, and “with lusty sinews
throwing it aside and stemniing it with hearts
of controversy,” they soon gained the shore.
But “what a. fall——of counteuances-—\vas there
my countrymen!” With desperate efforts the
ti-uarit wardrobe was captured, with the ex-
ception of the Captain's socks, our Alderman-
ic Nor-walker"s drawers, and a. patent truss,
for which neither would acknowledge an own-
ership. (By the way, in reference to those
drawers, we learn, this Monday morning, that
the “identical pair” were seen going up Main
.street on the fore legs of a. cart horse. The
owner of the horse is said to frequent those
waters on fishing mvcursions U) and it is
probable he miss-tank the drawers for apother
Devil Fish.)

as abject and degraded as an empty Cham-

troubles,” and in securing the ancasements to
his masculine ftindumentality, our Capt. in-
cautiously caught them by the candle extrem-
ity, and in drawing them in, emptied the
pockets of all their contents - consisting of a
diabolical looking jack-knife, a. few rusty cop-
pers, a free ticket to the Museum. six brass
keys, at fine tooth comb, a red flannel night
cap, and twenty-one little gold dollars. This
far ahead of anything ever illustrated in Far-
we1l’s Show Bills. The diving proved suc-
cessful, so far as all his valuables were con-
cerned, except the little “golden mint drops.”
The water was too deep, and the game too
small for their capture. No alternative was
left but to £l\Vl2l.1l.i the ebbing tide ; so like “pa-
tience on a monument”the poor Captain “nev-
er told his loss, but sat (for six long hours)
smiling in grief,” and let "concea.lmenl;, like
8. clam in the mud, prey upon his damaged
cliei-ls,” until ‘the waters had subsided,’ when

as it may appear, 21 dollars in coin were ta-

Oyster Meeting.
The Town Meeting called on Friday Morning
last, for the purpose of appointing a. Commit-
tee to stake off grounds for bedding, &c., iin
der the new statute, resulted in the elelectiori
of Harvey Pennoyer, Burr Nash and David
Roberts, Esqrs. We hardly think it possible
to have selcctetla Committee more acceptable
to all parties, or men who will be more con‘-
scientious in the discharge of their duties.
There is a large capital invested in the bus-
iness of bedding Oysters, and few persons have
any conception of the magnitude of this branch
of‘ our domestic trade. The success and pro-
gress of this business interest, with the gi-cal.
increase in the price of Oysters, since the in-
troductiou of the bedding process, has caused
a strong opposition to spring up a;;a.lii=-t. the
privileges by law conferred on the hedilt-rs.-
We confess to an ignorance of the facts and
the true merits of the question involved in
these differences, but so fat‘ as we iinrloi~sti1nd
them, we can see no cause of complaint if
honest men are chosen to select the grouncis
for the bedding, and if those who bed.hoiiestly
comply with the laws on the subject. The
urgniuent that it encourages a monopoly and
absorbs the natural growth of oysters in our
harbor and thus prevents the freetloiii of our
waters to all, seems to tis without foundation,
when the law is complied with ; and as for the
argtimciit that itiucreasesthe price’ of Oysters
_ in our market, that seems to us to be fullacious
also. When Oysters sold in our niurltet for
f'rom four to six shillings per bushe1,Mncl;erel
sold for three or four cents per pound ; now
Oysters sell at froflone dollar to twelve shil-
lings and Mackerel at a shilling per pound!
It strikes us that our Railroads and the in-
creased facilities of shipment have had more
to do with enhancing the price of Oyster: than
‘aiiything else. Indeed, we doubt whether our
inarket would be supplied at any ,vm-ice, for
many months in the ycur, if the bedr.linginter-
est‘. were abandoned. These are our opinions,
based upon such infortnation as we could gath-
er from both sides. They inay be correct or
they may be erroneous-be that as il iiiuy,

selves.”

the exercises were not only of a very enur-
tainlng character, but highly ‘ creditable both
to teacher and pupils. A very high standard
of’ scholarship was evinced by the pupils, and
their depot-tment and bearing indicated a dr-
gree of social l"llI:'.11”re rather unusual in No:
walk schools, and which speaks well for the};
parents at home and their teachers at school.
There is no reason why a school-boy may rim‘
be a civilized animal in Norwalk as well as
elsewhere, and the deportrnent of the scholar‘
at this school, has been such as to occasion the
favorable remark, of those who have had
some knowledge of the eccentrici ties -’-
"Young America” under the old system. W.-
a.l'l‘. glad to note this change for the better.

VALEDICTORY.
Passing Away.
As the clot] in yonder sky, as th.-.
sand on yonder shore, as the green lea’
on yonder tree, as the bubble that bursts
in air, 61.‘; the wind that fans the weary
invalid’s throbbing brow, so changeable,
are all earthly tliirigs, we know and feel
their presence, and they are away. We
see the laughing, dancing, happy child,
_we love to hear his merry laugh, and see
his dimpled cheek and rosy mouth, his
joyous tones seem still ringing in our
eam, we look again, his childhood day‘:
have passed away.
We see him a youth, at School, he
views life as a fairy tale just commen-
ced ; we see him as he strives onward,
fitting himself for the duties of -life, we
have hardly time to notice his pursuits,
when his youth has passed away, and
we see in the man of care, the busy man
of the world, battling‘ with the many
temptations, and Oh! he may glorious»

,ly conquer if be but take his Bible for
his friend, it will hear him safely thro’
every danger; With these thoughts still
lingering in our mind, we- look again, a
still greater change has taken’ place.
VVe see by the bent form, the palsied
limb, the snowy brow,. that manhood
has passed away, and old age has come,
he now views life as a tale read through
and ending in death; and when on his
death bed he seems to murmur "all
things are hastening to decay,’ how
rnournfully true, how flitting have be en
the moments of my life.”
"Passing away” are all earthly things
Tell it to the young, the old, write it in
lines of gold, death comes, he dies, is
buried, and has passed away from this
world.
Passing away we see on every leaf
'and bud, in the fleecy clouds above, on
the pebbles beneath our feet, it is writ.-
ten on every earthly thing, even the
mighty ocean which seems of all things
unchangable, there shall a time come
when even that shall be no more.
Schoolmates, when we look at
thiiigs, when we remark the fleetu»
time, how plainly do we see the ii-
tance of improving-: all our time
school-days will soon be past, bu’
can never forget the happy hours
have spent. Our School, the
around which so many pleasant
li-ctions will ever cling; our S:
how many endearing associations
ever linger about that name, it she.

the path of right, which is the only
path. Schoolmates, hand in hand

school with our teachers, but I trus
shall meet in a better and happier \

Sclidolmates, how can we ever I
our kind teachers for their unce:
perseverance in our behalf? I air
they ask no more, they wish no
than our kind remembrance here:
and that the truth: they have endea
to impress on our minds may be re: .
by us, and without Bible lead us i
through the temptations of this siiifui
world, and Oh ! let us never forget om.
Bible, let us take it as our most constair
friend, it is all we need, all, all we can
desire to make us happy, it will prove .2
true and fadeless light, to guide us unto
heaven, without its remembrance, our
school will never prosper; finally let us
bear in mind that purepmotivea must im-
pel to action, ardent prayer must warn;
the heart, and a firm reliance on God 1 ~
bless otir exertions, will give zeal to 0*. —

labor with success.
